Chapter 40: Eternal Separation* (2)
"The ignorant are fearless, and those who have only one belief in their hearts will be so righteous when they die." An Aikang executive who was exposed by Li Shukang and ranked first on his death list warned Li Shukang in person, "Don't think that you seem to have figured out everything, in fact, you still don't know anything, but you know enough for you to die a hundred times, don't you feel that there have been a lot of accidents around you recently?" ”
"I'm going to call the police and make everything public, even if I'm ruined." Li Shukang replied without hesitation.
"And then? Before you died in prison, you watched the news report of your daughter Li Xiaoai? Rather than that, think about something else. The first person on the death list threatened, "How much profit do you think you can make for the company by having a group of medical representatives in the company messing around with doctors all day long?" If it weren't for us to help you support the company all these years, I'm afraid Aikang would have collapsed long ago. You still continue to spend your vacation, even if you don't have Ruska with you, you can find Chen Sika and Liska to accompany you, and continue your leisurely life as if you don't know anything, maybe they will let you go. ”
"Who are they?" Li Shukang asked angrily.
"A group of people whose faces no one can figure out...", the originally rampant-looking man suddenly had a gloomy expression, "You can describe them as a group of crazy people, but the madmen can be arrested and put in a mental hospital, or sent to us to help with treatment, but they can never be found." ”
"So absolutely?"
"At least it's hard for people like you and me."
Later, Li Shukang found in his secret experiment log that there were various strange memory implantation methods, but none of them were feasible for a long time. People who have lost their memories want to re-implant new memories, even if they use hypnotic dreams or hallucinations, the human brain logic can easily recognize the unreal memories, and after so many experiments, except for the deep-rooted consciousness of the extreme religious people cannot be erased, all the experiments in Ekone have not had the final success they wanted.
Memories can be erased or even lost, but no one has been able to implant false memories yet, and people can still only generate memories from the time experiences they have memories. But no matter how you think about it, it feels terrible, Li Shukang shuddered, if a person wakes up and his memories are all replaced like the computer input, what a terrible result it would be. Such a person will lose their humanity or become a puppet or even a machine for some person who has mastered the technology of memory input.
Who exactly wants to do such an experiment? The looming Dolmaclin Group? No one knows the answer.
The healers who were secretly experimented with by Ai Kang for several years are now gone, and it is difficult to say that those severely mentally ill people have become normal people after their memories have been emptied, memory is the most precious proof of human beings in their short lives, if they are lost, how can they prove that they are still alive?
After narrowly escaping in a warehouse fire accident that was almost successful (the accident of the warehouse fire and explosion in the Aikang Building that Zhuang Yan witnessed when he was stuck in traffic in Aikang Park was actually aimed at Li Shukang, but he escaped by luck again), Li Shukang finally moved his revenge murderous intention, and the only thing he couldn't rest assured about was his only favorite daughter, Li Xiaoai.
"Xiao Ai, I'm about to lose it, this time I can escape, maybe it will be the last time, I will be hunted down and killed at any time, and I will live in fear at any time, and no one will be able to hold on. But time and time again I was still trying to find the answer, but the real answer was so far away. Li Shukang in the camera looked haggard, holding the camera with one hand, while covering his eyes with the other, rubbing his temples, "Dad is sorry for you, you haven't been able to be a role model for you to be proud of, but you have always been so strict." If I hadn't asked you to go to Hong Kong at that time, I wouldn't have let Aikang continue to operate... Alas~" With a sigh, Li Shukang finally couldn't hold back his tears in front of the camera, but he still stubbornly wiped away his tears.
Li Xiaoai was already crying like rain in front of the camera, and kept muttering in her mouth, as if she had really seen her father, one hand kept wiping the churning tears, and the other hand grabbed the back of my hand, "I don't blame you, it's all for me, if I could listen to you a little more obediently at that time, and didn't bring that blonde woman (Ruska) into the house, all this wouldn't have happened." So now we can sit together and watch TV, we can... That's how we can be together. ”
The father and daughter were choked up by their own words through the fluorescent screen of the TV, and they looked at each other, the bond between time and space under the night sky seemed to be firmly tied together, and some of them could see the last face at any time.
Where to meet? In my heart...
"But there is no if," Li Shukang regained his emotions and sat in front of the camera again, "People need to be responsible for their past, I can't think of a better way to protect my rights, but I am ready to end this, and there will be no more people who have suffered misfortune because of Ai Kang's secret in the future, although this matter may never be made public." I will pass away with these secrets, and I will not let you know in advance because I want you to continue to live in peace, or at least let those sins be buried in the soil with me. ”
"Daddy, please... Don't go..."Li Xiaoai's emotions were completely out of control, and she couldn't distinguish between reality and reason, and she kept shaking her head as if refusing to admit that what had happened was true.
"Be strong and live, find someone who loves you and you love him to accompany you, and Dad will bless you to live happily ever after."
"Dad..."
"If there is anything, you go to your Uncle Di, he will help you..." Before the words fell, there was a faint knock on the door from the camera, and it was too late to say goodbye Li Shukang glanced at the camera behind him and turned off the camera, this was a farewell.
There is only a permanent black curtain left on the TV set...
Li Xiaoai looked at the dark screen with teary eyes and looked forward to it lighting up again, how she hoped that her father could show up again to accompany her to say something, even if it was just a goodbye word or just a smile, but it never lit again until the disc was automatically spit out of the DVD player.
Li Xiaoai looked at the unresponsive TV stupidly, and the DVD player's opening page prompted her to continue putting in the disc.
Go on, yes, life has to go on, no pause and no fast forward and regression. Li Xiaoai, who was in a trance, fell into a complete silence, and in the few hours she met her father in the past time and space, she didn't seem to belong to this time and space, and the evacuated soul was suddenly restored by reality, and now the result is the future that has to be accepted. Hard to accept? But this is true after all, and there is no going back after all.
At three o'clock in the morning, Li Xiaoai unconsciously fell from the sitting position to the other side of the sofa as if unconscious, snorting heavily, and fell into a deep sleep in endless memories and sorrows. Maybe in the dream, she will meet Li Shukang again and enjoy the last family brought to her by the intersection of time and space.
Standing on the balcony and the glass door of the living room, I held Li Xiaoai's childhood treasure box, which I had put back at the bottom of the metal mooncake box, along with the smart watch I took off from my wrist. As part of her memory, I put the mooncake box back in the glass storage cabinet and couldn't help but glance back at her who was asleep on the couch and perhaps in a dream.
Until the end, I didn't have a chance to say goodbye to her, and I didn't even know how to speak, but this scene turned out to be like her father, quietly leaving, disappearing without a trace.
Covering her with a thin sheet, I stood in the doorway of the living room and watched her breathing face with mixed feelings. The memories of the past still seem to be vivid, but the things in front of them are beyond everyone's control. Li Xiaoai's knowledge or unknowing, maybe there are secrets hidden in it, but I really can't imagine that all this will have anything to do with me. I can't let her get involved anymore, no matter how reluctant she is. After staring at me for a long time, I still refused to leave, and finally I couldn't help but whisper, "This may be the last one." ”
Countless fragments flashed through my mind, and the people I cared about... Goodbye... Quietly closed the door to the living room.
And the door of the heart...
