"They taught me how to deal with the interrogation of the police inspectors," Ye Xiaowan finally made it clear, "They also said that maybe it wasn't necessarily the police that found me, but just some departments that were similar to the police but had higher authority than the police officers." ”

Tang Anshu listened quietly, he didn't want to interject, he had already laid a lot of foreshadowing before, and these foreshadowing was enough for Ye Xiaowan to tell the truth.

"My father is a taxi driver, the kind who goes out early and returns late, he dies suddenly, that is, he dies suddenly while driving," Ye Xiaowan smiled bitterly, "Everything was so sudden, I was already 10 years old at that time, and I already knew the concept of life and death, and I especially knew that my father would never buy me delicious food when he came home again, because he would not come back." ”

After Li Lan was in the doldrums for a while, she still cheered up, after all, life has to go on, but this time the burden of life needs to be borne by her alone. However, as a mother, she is more worried about her young daughter, and the death of her husband makes her more cautious, even if someone on the road looks at Ye Xiaowan more, she will regard that person as a threat, and she can't wait to stuff Ye Xiaowan back into her stomach.

This situation is getting more and more serious, and Ye Xiaowan has more and more ideas as she grows older, and what she thinks is often contrary to Li Lan, so the mother and daughter often quarrel.

Ye Xiaowan held the teacup and looked at the cup with both eyes: "My mother's supervision of me is getting stricter and stricter, but this kind of supervision is very strange. ”

Tang Anshu asked, "What do you say?" ”

Ye Xiaowan raised her eyes and looked at Tang Anshu: "When she is not at home, she doesn't care about me, she won't lock the door, she won't ask me where I'm going, she is probably busy with work, and when she is at home, she will control my words and deeds, I have to report to her in advance what I do, I have to tell her first even when I go to the toilet, otherwise she will be furious." ”

Split personality? Tang Anshu jumped out of these four words in his heart, this word he learned a hundred years ago, because his most trusted master was a person with a split personality.

Tang Anshu said his guess, but Ye Xiaowan said: "No, I also doubted it, but later found out that my mother remembers everything that happened very clearly, and if she has a split personality, she won't remember what other personalities have done." ”

Tang Anshu shook his head slowly: "There are two kinds of personality splits, one is what you said, and the other is personality splitting out of appearance, this is the most terrifying." ”

Ye Xiaowan didn't understand: "What do you mean?" ”

Tang Anshu said: "Your mother is a different person when she goes to work, and when she sees you after work, there will be changes, which is also a split personality, but she can realize it, but she can't control it, because of the pressure of life, she has no time to take care of these things, but at this time, someone has targeted her and completely pushed her off the cliff, if I guessed correctly, the people of the Five Elements Sect once said to you that they can help you and turn your mother back into a normal person." ”

Ye Xiaowan nodded and admitted, but Tang Anshu didn't understand, how did the people of the Five Elements Sect appear? Out of thin air?

"Chang Hongzhi," Ye Xiaowan said a name, "The person sent by the Five Elements Sect is called Chang Hongzhi. ”

Hearing the words "Chang Hongzhi", not only Tang Anshu was taken aback, but even Zhan Tianya and Wei Chiran next door were also surprised, all this really has something to do with the dust, this Chang Hongzhi seems to be haunted.

Zhan Tianya said: "This Chang Hongzhi shouldn't be the one I know, because that person is dead, this person must be an impostor, and he doesn't want to be discovered his true identity." ”

Ye Xiaowan said: "Chang Hongzhi is a psychiatrist introduced by my mother's colleague, and I originally asked Chang Hongzhi to come to me for psychological counseling, because my mother thinks that it is not her who is sick, but me. ”

Chang Hongzhi is indeed a good listener, he understands Ye Xiaowan's troubles, his appearance has resolved the contradictions between Ye Xiaowan and Li Lan a lot, and Li Lan's emotions have eased a lot, but he has become a little chattering every day, always reciting something similar to scriptures, and even refusing Ye Xiaowan to enter her room, and adding a lock to the door of the room.

Tang Anshu asked, "What year did these things happen?" How old were you then? ”

Ye Xiaowan said: "When I was 18 years old, Chang Hongzhi came to the door, when I was 19 years old when I went to college, my mother completely changed a person, when I was 20 years old, my mother became completely different from before, and she intensified her control over me, and Chang Hongzhi told me that if I want my mother to change, I must listen to him, and the method he uses is to go back to the past and change the future." ”

When Chang Hongzhi told Ye Xiaowan like this for the first time, Ye Xiaowan thought he was a psychopath, and the second and third times were still like this, until the fourth time, Chang Hongzhi took out his laptop and connected it to a mobile hard drive, which filmed Ye Xiaowan's daily life at home.

Ye Xiaowan was angry at the time, knowing that Chang Hongzhi was spying on her, she was a pervert, and she wanted to call the police, but Chang Hongzhi calmly told her that this was not the case, and let her take a closer look at the content of the video.

At that time, Ye Xiaowan found that she in the video was older than she should be now, and her figure was a little fat, she began to think that it was an actor found by Chang Hongzhi, but after a closer look, she found that it was indeed home. Chang Hongzhi then told her that the content in the video was filmed from the previous cycle of ten years.

After listening to this, Tang Anshu was puzzled: "The previous ten years? ”

Ye Xiaowan nodded slowly: "When I told you about this memory, I was actually trapped in that ten-year cycle, but I didn't know it, when the time reached 2019, everything went back to a certain day in 2009, and my mother's memories would all disappear, my future would be dark, and I would eat and die, and it was my mother who caused all this, Chang Hongzhi knew that I didn't believe it, so he let me continue to live, and when that time period came, he would come back to me." ”

The time finally came one day in 2019, Chang Hongzhi appeared again, and then Ye Xiaowan followed him back to 2009 with a clear memory, and everything returned to the original point.

Wei Chiran was dumbfounded when he heard it in the room next to him: "How did this Chang Hongzhi do it?" ”

Zhan Tianya said: "Have you ever played the game?" ”

Wei Chi said: "Of course." ”

"There are some small easter eggs in some games, for example, you can play the game in the game," Zhan Tianya lit a cigarette, "You are already in the game, and you control the game characters to play the game, which is equivalent to the one created by Lone Army and Chenzhou." The real world's game, the world we are in was originally created, and Lone created a virtual world in our virtual world, Chang Hongzhi just used the same way, but he did not use virtual means, but used other things to materialize it, but this materialization is only limited to the building. ”

Wei Chiran asked, "But Li Lan still left the building to go to college?" Isn't she in the mansion all the time? ”

Zhan Tianya explained: "Space can be extended, can you understand this? The performance of three-dimensional space and four-dimensional space is different, although we live in three-dimensional space, we are in a multi-dimensional world. ”

Wei Chiran smiled awkwardly: "This Chang Hongzhi's physics must have learned very well." ”

Zhan Tianya just smiled, the joke was very cold.

Wei Chiran actually didn't understand, but he knew that the current situation could not be explained by simply different cultures or science.

Zhan Tianya told him: "In the final analysis, there are only three kinds of knowledge in this world, theology, philosophy and science, all of which are indispensable, no matter which one is born in the daily life of human beings, opposing but complementary to each other, you can't make one completely disappear, and it is impossible to let one completely control the world, some people use a single knowledge as a foothold to condemn everything else, it is originally stupid." ”

What Zhan Tianya didn't expect was that in Ye Xiaowan's subsequent narration, Chang Hongzhi also said similar things to her, of course, those words were mixed with a lot of brainwashing ingredients. At the same time, Chang Hongzhi let Ye Xiaowan return to the origin of the cycle with a clear memory, which is already the best evidence, so Ye Xiaowan no longer doubts Chang Hongzhi except for surprise.

As for how many cycles Ye Xiaowan has gone through, she herself has not calculated, in these cycles, she can't change her mother by any means, and in the end she only has one thought left, that is, to escape from this dead loop.

In fact, Ye Xiaowan didn't understand at the time that what she had always wanted was to escape, because she couldn't do anything, what else could she do besides escape?

Tang Anshu didn't speak, just was silent, but his performance seemed to be a matter of wanting to speak in Ye Xiaowan's eyes. So, Ye Xiaowan asked: "Do you want to persuade me to move forward bravely and face life and the like?" ”

"No, you misunderstood," Tang Anshu denied, "I understand you very well, if I were you, I would also choose to escape, because it is almost impossible to change a person, if that person is your closest relative, then the possibility is even less, so it is right for you to choose to escape." ”

Yes, it was right to choose to escape, but Ye Xiaowan didn't know that the situation set up by Chang Hongzhi was because she was bent on escaping. Once outside the loop, she wanted to escape, but she didn't dare to do so, and she didn't even dare to confess this thought to herself. Trapped in a dead loop, she finally understood what she wanted, and Chang Hongzhi just hoped that she would understand this completely, so that she would obey her words.

After all, the dead cycle was created by Chang Hongzhi, and if you want to escape the dead loop, you must listen to Chang Hongzhi's words. In fact, this is the Stockholm effect, Ye Xiaowan is equivalent to being kidnapped by criminals, but as time goes by, she begins to despair, does not believe in other ways out, only hopes for the promises of the criminals, and even helps the criminals in turn, as long as the criminals escape, she can naturally be free.

Therefore, in the end, Ye Xiaowan agreed to Chang Hongzhi's request and followed the steps arranged by Chang Hongzhi, no matter what her mother Li Lan asked her to do, all she needed to do was two words - cooperation. Constant cooperation, continuous reincarnation and cycle, when she was buried in that wooden box by her mother's own hands, she died, and her consciousness became another form, she was even more convinced of Chang Hongzhi's statement.
