Chapter 187: Memory Carrier (II)
After the weirdo told Gingus's father these three things, Gingus's father thought it strange at the time, but he also thought it was ridiculous. First, he didn't have an uncle, second, he had a very good relationship with his uncle's family, and his uncle was a kind man, and as for the third point, Jinguss's father felt that it was too far away.
Who knows, it didn't take long for Jinguss's father to accept the family's blind date and marry a girl, and on the day of the marriage, Jinguss's grandfather told his father that his future father-in-law was his sworn brother, and it stands to reason that he should call him uncle, and told him that his uncle had his own business in Qingdao, China, and hoped that Jinguth would go to China after marrying his daughter.
At this time, Jinguss's father remembered the strange man's words, and felt that it was incredible, how could it be exactly the same as what he said?
Later, Gingus's father went to Qingdao, China, and was born in the same year, the same year that Korea completely fell to Japanese territory and set up a governor's palace in Seoul, after which Gingus's father also joined the Korean resistance in China, but was almost killed by his own people.
Ye Da heard it strangely: "Why was he killed by his own people? ”
"My father's uncle, who he thought was the amiable man, became a loyal lackey of the Japanese, and led people around to arrest those independence activists, and some people falsely accused my father that he was a spy planted by the Japanese in the resistance organization, and if it wasn't for the fact that after leaving Korea, our family had almost no contact with my uncle, otherwise, we might not be able to clear the suspicion." ”
Xia Shuang said: "It turns out that you were born in China, no wonder you speak Chinese so well." ”
Ye Dadao: "You hid deep enough, and then what?" You also joined the independence movement? ”
Jin Gusi said: "No, in fact, my family has been a dancing god for generations, that is, shaman, which is the main reason why I am so interested in shaman culture, I have been restless when I grew up, and I have a little money at home, so I started to adventure, I don't know what's going on, in just a few years, I became a so-called Korean adventurer, but then I gradually lost interest in these, because I, like Tang Qianlin, after experiencing so many adventures and weirdness, denied the ghost god theory, Until my father died. ”
Ye Dadao: "I understand, when your father died, he told you these three things, right?" ”
"Yes, I can not trust people, but it is impossible not to believe my father, he will never lie to me, so I began to return to North Korea to investigate the mysterious man, and began to study the so-called prophecy, shamanic nature worship again. ”
He Chenxue accosted beside him: "Until you met Liu Mouzheng, he invited you to join the gang, right?" ”
Jinguth smiled: "It's almost, but the process of things is very tortuous, one or two sentences are not clear, there are some things, you still need to let him tell you." ”
After Gingus finished speaking, he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, using this gesture to tell the others that he would not say any more.
As for the tiled house he said, what was the darkest moment in his life, it seems that he really has to wait for Liu Mouzheng to reveal it.
Besides, the three of Tang Qianlin who rushed to the building, after avoiding the moving and collapsing houses, the three of them finally rushed into the building, standing in the hall of the building, the three of them supported each other, looking at the outside that had become another wonder, and they couldn't close their mouths in surprise.
Some of the houses that were outside were floating in mid-air, some overlapping each other, some huddled together, some completely collapsed, and the remaining rubble was blown up by gusts of wind and rushed into the air, and then smashed to the ground like hail.
In short, what you see in front of you is like a post-apocalyptic hell.
"Sure enough, he can only control what he thinks." Li Yunfan raised his hand to touch the wall next to him, "I can't affect what is concretized by our memory." ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "Why do you have such a deep memory of this place?" ”
Just as Li Yunfan was about to answer, there were screams from inside the building.
Li Yunfan took a deep breath, looked for the voice and walked slowly towards the corridor on the right, walked to the entrance of the basement, and stood there: "This is it, the basement has two floors, the first floor is the interrogation room and the detention room, and the second underground floor is the weapons and equipment warehouse. ”
Tang Qianlin looked at Li Yunfan, whose face was a little ugly: "Did anything happen here?" ”
Li Yunfan said: "I watched my comrades being killed by them, but I couldn't do anything about it. ”
Liu Mouzheng was the first to walk down the stairs: "Let's go, go and see if there are really weapons in the arsenal." ”
When the three of them reached the first floor, the screams were still coming continuously, not only men but also women, and listening to the voices, the people who were tortured did not seem to be very old.
Liu Mouzheng saw Li Yunfan standing there, and said, "Let's go, these are all bad memories!" ”
Li Yunfan still couldn't hold back, and strolled towards the interrogation room, Tang Qianlin was worried that something was going on, so he immediately followed.
After a few steps down the hallway, a door in front of him opened, and two big men dragged a dying man out of it, the blood on the man's body flowed all over the ground, while the other person who was already waiting there immediately washed the ground with a mop.
Li Yunfan stood on the side and said: "At that time, all of us who participated in the interrogation study had to clean here for three days before the formal study, in the words of the Japanese instructor, it was adaptive training, let us adapt to the environment first, and then devote ourselves to it." ”
Tang Qianlin didn't speak, just followed Li Yunfan silently, and he also found that the original faceless people seemed to have simple outlines of their facial features in Li Yunfan's memories, which were more concrete.
Li Yunfan walked to the room at the end of the corridor and stood at the door watching.
The interrogation room was large, and under the wall directly opposite was an iron chair, on which sat a naked and upper-naked man, who hung his head and seemed to faint.
In front of the iron chair stood a man in a leather coat, a man with a pair of glasses, and an open suitcase at his feet, full of tools, like a carpenter.
Li Yunfan took a deep breath: "That's Gao Shigui, our instructor, the second person from the left over there is me, and the third is Zhang Liankai." ”
Gao Shigui stood there and wiped his hands with a towel: "Torture is the last resort, and there is no way to use the necessary means, and the best way is the kind of spiritual interrogation method I used before." ”
There is no need for Li Yunfan to explain, Tang Qianlin also knows what mental interrogation is, this method is often used, in short, it is to prevent the interrogated person from falling asleep, creating all kinds of noise, making you unable to sleep, mentally having a breakdown, and finally confessing everything you know.
This method, although time-consuming, is usually more effective than torture.
Gao Shigui said: "However, in the face of the premise of being trained, stubborn in thinking, and having a time limit to solve the case, we can only resort to torture, and the person in front of us now is an anti-Manchu anti-Japanese element who has just been arrested, to be precise, a red element. ”
Gao Shigui said, grabbing the man's hair so that the others could see his face clearly.
Li Yunfan sighed: "That's my college classmate, although we haven't been honest with each other, but I know that he is his own person and our own comrade." ”
Tang Qianlin realized something, grabbed Li Yunfan's arm and said, "Let's go, we have other things to do, we can't change the past." ”
Li Yunfan turned around, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and after the two walked for a while, they heard a miserable scream coming from inside.
Li Yunfan stopped, closed his eyes and said: "Gao Shigui showed what is torture in front of our eyes, he slowly cut the mouth of my classmate with a knife, and then sprinkled it with chili powder, cut it once, he fainted in pain several times, I really wanted to save him, but I couldn't help it, because when the organization didn't let me expose myself, I couldn't expose myself......"
From that afternoon until the month when he was about to graduate, Li Yunfan participated in several such graduation trainings and witnessed many of his comrades and even loyal people among the people die in front of his eyes.
For Mr. Li, it was the most torturous month for him, not so much as he was participating in training as he was being interrogated.
On the first day of graduation, the Security Bureau, as usual, asked them to "submit their names", that is, they arrested a group of people from prison who were confirmed to be from Chongqing and Yan'an, and they were personally executed by those who were about to graduate.
On that day, Li Yunfan was brought to Li Yunfan by an arrested Zhongtong correspondent, a girl in her early twenties.
Gao Shigui told Li Yunfan that this girl had been interrogated by the Japanese more than 20 times in turn before she was brought, and she had been tortured to the point that she was not human, and now sending her on the road can be regarded as a favor for her.
Li Yunfan knew what that sentence meant, and knew what it meant to take turns to interrogate. But even so, the girl still didn't explain anything.
Li Yunfan blamed himself: "I really want to save her, but her eyes are full of indifference, although she didn't say anything, but all I heard was her cursing." ”
Li Yunfan felt that it was difficult to breathe, and the images of the comrades and compatriots who had been killed that he had witnessed later flashed in his mind.
Liu Mouzheng stepped forward and grabbed Li Yunfan's shoulder: "Okay!" Call it a day! Don't think about it anymore, you can't go back and change anything even if you think about your head exploding. ”
Tang Qianlin also said: "Yunfan, the purpose of existence here is to make you blame yourself, make you feel guilty, and make you unable to take a step forward. ”
Tang Qianlin finally understood why the original creator had created such a strange place to stop those who were looking for the gate of the Shaman's Spirit Palace.
No matter how powerful the mechanism, no matter how ferocious the monster, it can't compare to the painful memories that are hidden deep in your heart and dare not touch, these memories are originally hidden in the bottom of your heart, like chronic poison eroding your body, when you come here, the moment the memories are completely peeled away, the poison will also spread all over the body in an instant.
There is no perfect person in the world, in other words, there are few people in the world who can survive this place safely, and most people will collapse.
And when people have a breakdown, they can only do two things, either self-destruction or suicide.
Surely someone will find it strange and contradictory, thinking that self-destruction is not the same as suicide?
No, it's different, self-destruction is worse than suicide, you will let yourself do what you know is wrong, you will be disqualified from being a human being, and you will be in the company of demons.
Whether it's self-destruction or suicide, you're going to be trapped here, and both physically and mentally won't be able to move an inch.
This may be the reason why shamanism says that there are multiple categories of human souls.
As the high priest said, the way to get out of this place is to erase the unbearable memories of the past, but how can the memories that have existed and have no substance, but are forever imprisoned in the mind, disappear?
It's very simple, it is to let the carrier of memories, that is, the person itself, disappear completely, and the direct point is to let you die, which is the meaning of existence here.
