Chapter 61: Memory Gap
In the quiet ward, it is different from the dim and old color outside. Rather, it is a dull, almost close to the color of black and white.
The woman's long dress was still gorgeous and dazzling, but she was standing quietly by the bedside of this ward at this time, looking at the person on the bed without the slightest expression on her face.
"Let's see where you can hide this time!"
As she spoke, Rin was about to rush over, but was grabbed by Talos.
Talos shook his head at her, motioning to Rin not to be impulsive and to observe the situation before making a decision.
Rin was reluctant, but she was silent in acquiescence. She didn't understand why Talos was more accurate to the woman, no, maybe it would have been more accurate to call her a spirit now.
She didn't understand why Talos was so lenient with this deceased spirit, if he had changed his usual life, even if he hadn't made a move, he would have rushed over a long time ago.
And not only forgiveness, but also a hint of hidden pity in Talos's eyes.
Talos, can you understand this woman's sadness, her emotions?
Why?
Is it because Talos doesn't have a memory of his own, and this woman is tied up and trapped in her own memory, so it resonates?
Rin doesn't understand the origin of this emotion, she is a person who only looks at what is in front of her, and she only feels incomprehensible about this obsession and indulgence.
It's just that when she was caught up in this series of questions, she didn't know where to ask Talos. After thinking about it, there was only silence.
Talos saw that Rin looked like he was on his mind, and just pointed to the woman in front of him, "Everything here is fake, it's the space created by her memories, including the 'she' we see." ”
Hearing this, Rin Rin's eyes suddenly turned and looked like that woman.
Sure enough, there was no shadow under her feet, and the water sleeve was as good as a brand-new one, no longer the long sleeve that had been torn in the previous fight.
"Then she's ......"
"She is the self in the depths of this woman's memory, probably after creating this space, she was suddenly awakened to explore the part of the memory that she escaped and ignored."
Talos was a little ambiguous, because he didn't know very well, but he had this kind of reality when he was sleeping in a suitcase on the Twilight Border.
It's just that he kept going around and around in his blank memory space until a red line appeared, and the familiar aura led him out of the white misty space...... The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Rin for the first time.
So from then on, he recognized Rin and wanted to stay by her side no matter what.
And like this kind of memory layered space, he naturally understands better.
"Where is the body that created this space?" Rin Rin suddenly felt a little agitated, after all, they had been trapped in all kinds of strange spaces since they entered this hospital.
"I don't know, this place is like a world created by her, she may be quietly watching the movement here somewhere, or she may be hiding in it."
As he spoke, Talos had already entered the room and approached the woman's figure.
I saw that on the hospital bed where her eyes were focused, there was a girl who was almost the same as her appearance, but much younger.
The long hair is still soft and beautiful, and although the eyebrows and eyes have been covered by a lot of sickness, there is still a bit of heroism that has not changed.
Knowing that the woman was just a part of the illusion, Rin followed in.
It's just that unlike Talos's focus, she just glanced at the girl on the hospital bed and then bent down to look at the case card hanging in front of the bed.
[Shui Xie, 16 years old, suspected of a current illness, the cause is unknown. 】
The medical record card hanging in front of the bed simply records this information.
"Is this woman's name called Water Pavilion?"
Rin muttered to herself as she looked around the small room, trying to find something useful.
Wait, the water pavilion? The cause is unknown?
As if she had suddenly thought of something, Rin quickly returned to the bedside, and carefully looked at the information on the case card, and after several confirmations, she finally confirmed what had happened.
The epidemic of unknown origin five years ago was ultimately attributed to the viral flu because no cause could be found.
Could it be that she is the ...... of that period?
Thinking of this, Rin suddenly put her hand in her pocket and began to rummage.
"What's wrong, what are you looking for?" Seeing that Rin had been circling around the bed, her hands constantly rummaging up and down in her trouser pockets, Talos asked suspiciously.
"Talos, I seem to know something, you wait......"
After rummaging through it, Rin finally pulled out the crumpled sticky note paper in the pocket of her skirt.
This is what they had pulled out from under that strange cabinet when they first entered the hospital. Originally, Rin Rin didn't take it to heart after reading it, and even felt that the patient information recorded on it might not have anything to do with the strange events here.
Unexpectedly, the piece of paper that I left casually was still right.
"Look, Talos, this waterside is the same person who was admitted to this hospital five years ago due to the pandemic." As she spoke, Rin handed over the worn-out sticky note paper.
At that time, the epidemic was very bad, and many people died.
Rin tried to remember what happened five years ago, and the extent of the damage and impact it caused.
At that time, she was too young, and she only vaguely remembered that the disease was widely implicated, but in the end it ended in an incurable way.
No one knew how the epidemic was resolved, but all of a sudden no one talked about it anymore and there were no new patients.
Talos looked at the worn-out sticky note paper, on which the name of the water pavilion was recorded.
But even if they knew the name, and they knew that what was happening here might be related to the epidemic five years ago, so what good was that?
They are trapped in this memory gap, and no one can leave unless the owner of this memory is willing to liberate this space.
Or, the only way for them to get out of here on their own is probably to find out the body of the water pavilion in this space.
The phantom of the water pavilion quietly looked at himself on the hospital bed, and the water pavilion on the bed five years ago was lying on the bed, looking sideways at the wind-blown curtains, as if he was looking forward to it.
Her face was very bad, and she occasionally coughed violently.
Although there is no sound in this world, it is just a not beautiful pantome that indulges in memories. But every time the water pavilion on the hospital bed suddenly coughed, the thin body would bounce off the bed.
Even though she was silent, the uncomfortable expression and the violent tremors of her body were enough to express how serious her illness was.
The wind outside the window stopped abruptly, and the long curtains slowly fell because the wind stopped.
However, at the moment when the long curtain settled leisurely like the curtain of a stage performance, a glass vase suddenly appeared on the window sill, which was not spacious.
In the vase, a delicate red double-petaled camellia sits quietly in it.
In this dim space outside, with only black and white in the ward, the appearance of this red camellia is particularly bright and moving, making it difficult not to notice him.
"Talos, you see that this flower is not like the one we placed under the crystal of the water pavilion in the underground cavern before."
Rin Rin looked at the red camellia, which was as bright as blood, and only felt that the things they had experienced before and the things they had seen began to emerge one by one in the depths of the memory of the water pavilion.
As long as she can grasp the meaning of these things, and bring the clues she gave, it will not be difficult for them to get out of here.
But just as Rin Talos's eyes were focused on the camellia on the porch, suddenly, a soft, and obviously weak voice from a woman came out......
"He, why hasn't he come yet......"
The sound was very small, like a weak willow supporting the wind, as if the wind outside the window was blowing a little louder, and it could easily drown out the sound.
It's just that in this absolutely quiet environment, the slightest sudden disturbance is easy to be noticed.
Rin Rin followed the prestige, but saw the phantom of the water pavilion who had been standing beside the hospital bed, and her pale red lips were moving up and down at this time. But it was just the collision of the upper and lower lips, and no sound came out.
But at this moment, with the light movement of the lip flap, the voice came out again from an unknown direction like a sound from outside the sky.
However, she just kept repeating the phrase, "Why, why hasn't he come yet......"
Her voice changed from the harshness of the previous fight with them, but it was as thin as a gossamer, but it seemed to be full of anticipation.
It only makes people feel indescribable and distressed when they hear this moment.
But at this time, somehow Rin suddenly felt a little irritable in his heart by this mysterious development of events and the memory space that they had never been able to find an exit from.
She didn't want to know why the man named White Parrot hadn't come, but if it had been her, she wouldn't have waited so hard for someone.
The dignified at this moment is extremely firm, she has long been used to living alone, and she can't easily understand the feeling of casually pinning her emotions on others.
For Rin, it's stupid, it's just stupid.
After all, it can already be seen from the current state of the water pavilion that the white parrot did not come, and until the moment when the water pavilion lost its life, this person called the white parrot did not come again.
Thinking of this, Rin felt that she was occupied by anger. She suddenly grabbed the apparition's arms, and the whole person stood in front of her, forcing the water pavilion to look at her, not the hospital bed, or the bright camellia.
"Wake up, Shuixie, it's been five years, the people you are waiting for will not come, and you don't have to be obsessed with this, stay in this place and fantasize day after day!"
There was a hint of anger in Rinrin's voice, she didn't even care that before this, the water pavilion still fought against them, even the opponent who almost took her own life.
She was just angry that the water pavilion was so persistent, but she couldn't get anything in exchange for it.
But what Rin touched was just a phantom. She just still looked out the window and the sound in her ears.
At this moment, Rin suddenly turned his gaze.
Then he turned around and threw the glass bottle containing the camellia to the ground!
