Yun Qiao, after this Qin Du left.

Tao Yunqian frowned.

Yang Lirong was so angry that she was about to go crazy, "She has hard wings now, she doesn't care at all!" I don't know what high branches I have climbed, and I am very majestic! ”

Tao Yunqian was silent.

Yang Lirong slapped the table, "Tell me, what to do now!" ”

"What are you anxious about?"

Tao Yunqian took a sip of tea, "You calm down, don't worry, maybe something can happen if you force her to be anxious, now like this...... It doesn't affect you anything! ”

Yang Lirong was so angry that she was dying, "Impossible! She doesn't affect me, but she affects ......."

"Hmph."

Tao Yunqian glanced at Yang Lirong, "You'd better not act rashly, otherwise, the bamboo basket will be empty." ”

"Tao Yunqian, if you don't have the ability, get out, the old lady doesn't need your help, I can do what I want to do!"

Yang Lirong left in a huff.

Tao Yunqian narrowed his eyes and secretly calculated.

……

Leave the tea room.

Qin Du and Yun Qiao walked side by side by the river.

I found a shade and sat down to rest.

"You, don't you have anything to say to me?" Yun Qiao asked.

Qin Du twisted the bottle of water and handed it to her, "What about you, don't you have anything to tell me?" ”

"I don't have much to say, but I can guarantee that I will answer the questions you ask." Yun Qiao said.

Qin Du was silent.

After a long time, he whispered, "I have been mentally prepared for a long time. ”

"Huh?" Yun Qiao frowned and looked at him.

Qin Du sighed, "From the time you went to visit me in prison, I knew that she was gone. ”

“……”

Yun Qiao was extremely shocked, "How is it possible! When I went to see you...... I barely said anything, we were through the glass, and the contact time was so short, how could you possibly tell! ”

Qin Du was stunned, "Because it's impossible for her to go to see me." ”

"Why!" Yun Qiao felt incredulous, "Obviously, when she was admitted to high school, she saved up money to see you, she often wrote to you, almost every week, and sent a thick letter at the end of the month...... She ......"

"Nope."

Qin Du said.

"Huh?"

Yun Qiao's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears at all.

What the hell is Qin Du talking about?

"You ......"

Yun Qiao looked at Qin Du, "Wait, I'm a little confused, what are you talking about?" ”

"Jojo, I've been terminally ill for a long time."

Qin Du's voice was low, "From the day I was imprisoned, Qiaoqiao died. ”

"I'm not good at language, don't use any messy rhetorical devices with me, I don't understand, just tell me what's going on! No metaphors, no metaphors! Tell me one-two! ”

Yun Qiao had to be like this, otherwise she would really doubt her IQ and wouldn't be able to understand the words.

"Qiaoqiao has long been terminally ill, my existence is not a life-saving medicine, just a painkiller, for people with serious illnesses, it is just a placebo, just to make her feel a little better, but it can't change anything, and it can't save her."

"When I was in prison, placebos and painkillers turned into deadly poisons, killing her who was already terminally ill."

Yun Qiao was speechless, "It's all said, don't use these metaphors, say it bluntly!" ”

Qin Du leaned on the bench and looked at the sky, "I was in too much of a hurry to go to prison, so I could only contact a friend and send her to a mental hospital...... Her condition was complicated, not only depression, but also severe paranoia, and doctors said she should be hospitalized for a long time, and there was little cure. Patients with severe suicidal tendencies will seek every opportunity to commit suicide, and ordinary families can't take care of them at all, let alone people like Yang Lirong. ”

"Hmm." Yun Qiao nodded, "And then?" ”

Qin Du said, "My friend conveyed the doctor's opinion, Qiao Qiao is very disgusted with herself, she doesn't have any desire to live, this situation is the most dangerous. But the doctor said that she could take advantage of her paranoia......"

"Jojo's paranoia is magnified."

"The doctor would periodically hypnotize her and her memory...... It's mostly fiction, mostly true and false......"

Seeing that Yun Qiao had a little headache, Qin Du immediately said, "Don't think about it." Because even she herself doesn't know which of her memories are true and what memories are false. ”

Yun Qiao pursed his lips and was silent.

She had to digest the meaning of Qin Du's words.

It's not that hard to understand, but it's not so easy to believe.

"I'm not a psychiatrist, just because of her, I studied hard and taught myself something, to be honest, it's too far behind a professional doctor, it's a drop in the bucket, I know it myself, and I won't jump to conclusions. I'm just telling you what I understand. ”

Qin Du said, "Don't think too much, and don't try to tell which of her memories are true and which are false, you can't tell them, and there's no need." It's like a lot of people swear that they remember something that happened when they were young, but the people around them don't know it at all...... In fact, it is a memory illusion. ”

"For example, some people have never been to a certain city, but when they go, they feel inexplicably familiar, as if they have been there; And when you want to do something, you suddenly feel as if you have done it, etc., are all memory illusions. ”

"People's memories are not as reliable as they seem."

"It is not as difficult to reasonably use the characteristics of the brain's memory illusion to induce or even tamper with memory."

"For Jojo, as long as she can live, the memory doesn't matter, anyway...... She doesn't have any good memories either. ”

Qin Dudao "Give her a part of the false memory, and her brain will automatically complete it." ”

Yun Qiao nodded slowly, "So what?" ”

Qin Du chuckled, "So, Qiao Qiao is no longer Qiao Qiao, but ...... She's still Jojo, too. ”

"Oh."

Yun Qiao pursed his lips, feeling an indescribable feeling.

Sad?

Sort of, but not so sad either.

"You know, there's a saying that people exist by memory."

Qin Du said, "If you don't have memory, you won't be you." ”

Hearing this, Yun Qiao smiled, "There is such a saying, and it is also said that people are actually immortal, but you don't remember the memories of the past." ”

Or rather, the memory has been tampered with. Only the present you are in is real, and everything in the past is just a memory that fills your mind. You've never experienced ...... Past. ”

Yun Qiao rubbed his eyebrows.

She chuckled "When a man falls asleep at night, another soul?" into his body, in place of his soul, in his memory...... The next morning, the soul could not realize that he was occupying the magpie's nest, because he thought that he was him, after all, his memory was from yesterday to today, and he could not realize at all that he was not his ......"

"Maybe everyone is no longer themselves from the moment they fall asleep to the moment they wake up."
