Kigoro turned around sharply, only to see a seven or eight-year-old child behind him, standing against the wall, looking at him with a smile.

What's going on? Is it a trap? Why did Watanabe Tai's memory palace suddenly appear a child.

Kigoro was born with an indifferent face, and when he saw the child grinning at him, he instinctively laughed, but he laughed very awkwardly, which made the child laugh even more proudly.

is already a father of two children, and he should have a good impression of children - but right now, in Watanabe's memory palace, there is nothing cute to speak of, it is clearly terrifying and terrifying.

"Uncle, come on, play with me."

The child screamed twice, turned and ran out of the cave, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Although I don't know what happened to this child, I can't ignore it, otherwise, it is likely to be dangerous. Thinking of this, Kigoro hurriedly chased after him.

The kid ran away as he looked back with a hippie smile.

Thinking about it carefully, Kigoro was sure that such a child was not mentioned in Watanabeta's information.

Before he found out the identity of the other party, Kigoro didn't dare to shout rashly, and blindly chased after him in silence.

The kid was very fast, and in a short time he took Kigoro around a few corners.

"Turning a corner? Turning a corner? ," Kigoro's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he cursed in his heart, "Fooled".

Watanabe's Memory Palace, though very grand, with hundreds of caves—the Time Corridor—but, each cave is straight and there are no corners.

Onitoro immediately gave up tracking the child, and wanted to follow the timeline and go back the way he came—back to the same hall where the various time caves were located.

The hall is gone, and all the cave structures are reorganized, forming a criss-crossing web according to the two dimensions of time and space—a labyrinth of memories that has lasted for more than eighty years.

The kid changed the structure of the entire memory palace.

There are only two possibilities for this.

First, another nerve infiltrator came in, disguised as a child, luring himself into a panic while forcibly reorganizing those corridors of time.

However, this is very unlikely.

In order to do this, Sun Zhongwen and all the other people in the operating room must be killed in an instant, in order to prevent them from cutting the link device that the nerve infiltrated and waking themselves up.

Sun Zhongwen is a master of martial arts, and it is impossible not to even have the opportunity to press a button.

Moreover, even if someone in the real world suddenly breaks in, they can't sneak in and play this trick with themselves.

The current situation is likely to be the second situation - this child is Watanabe himself.

Watanabe is a famous thief, a police officer, and those criminal psychologists who have already done too many mental tests on him - he is not a multiple personality patient.

Is this kid Watanabe's disguise?

Is he awake? Or - fuck, what the hell is going on?

I was still too careless, this guy's subconscious woke up, and I didn't even notice it, and now it is impossible to forcibly hypnotize.

But why did he pretend to be a child? Is there any special significance?

Kigoro searched a few more times, but never found the location of the hall again—only there could he safely leave Watanabe-ta's memory palace.

If you want to pass through these thick memory layers that are as long as seventy or eighty years, you are likely to be swallowed by the consciousness of the other party.

"Hey—"

"Hey—"

Seeing Kigoro stop, the kid turned around and yelled at him a few times.

"Uncle, uncle, play with me, play with me."

Kigoro put on a smiling face, trying to look as amiable as possible, and finally had the courage to respond.

"Kid, what do you want to play?"

"Well, let's play hide and seek, I like to play hide and seek the most." The child said innocently.

Onigoro cried out in his heart, playing hide and seek in this seventy or eighty years of memory palace, where do you let me find you, you hide in any time layer, I will have to go for the rest of my life.

"That's right, but, but—" Kigoro has been with children for a few years, and he knows how to deal with children, so he deliberately speaks in a different way.

"Uncle, what is it? You're going to play with me. ”

"But, but—"

"Uncle, uncle, come on—" The child snapped.

"It's not fair, my uncle is a foreigner, and I'm not familiar with this place, so if you hide it, it's enough for my uncle to find it for most of the day."

The child scratched his head, looked like he was thinking hard, thought for a while, and finally patted his chest boldly, pretending to be an adult and said, "Then uncle, what are we playing?" ”

"Do you like to listen to stories?" Kigoro said as he tried to get closer.

"The story? Okay, good, like, like, does uncle tell a lot of stories? The child asked excitedly.

"Of course, but we can change the trick today, and we will compete to tell a story, okay?"

"Storytelling contest?"

"Yes, you talk about one, uncle talks about two, what do you think? If anyone can't take it, they will be punished for eating ice cream. Kigoro pretended to be confident and said defiantly.

"Well, yes, it's a word, I've won, you're going to buy me matcha-flavored ice cream." Children are also very confident.

"Okay, but be careful, uncle is a master storyteller."

"Hehe, I'm afraid of you—" As he spoke, the child took out a few coins and lit them up in his hand, signaling that he would not be fooled.

After the child finished speaking, he beckoned Kigoro to follow, and after a while, he turned into a time layer.

This is a street park located in Yokohama.

The time of this memory is more than nine o'clock in the evening, and Kigoro took a look at it, and the entire city and the environment of the park are very old, the lights are sparse, and the bench style of the park is also characteristic of the old era.

Onitoro found an opportunity to check the time code of this memory, it was one day in July 1962, and Watanabe Tai should have been six or seven years old at this time. This park should have been demolished and rebuilt long ago.

The child took Kigoro's hand, found an open high ground, and sat down on a bench, where the salty and wet sea breeze blew, and it was quite cool.

Onigoro looked happy, but he was extremely careful in his heart, this place was already located in the deepest part of Watanabe's consciousness, and if there was any trouble, it would be difficult to get out again.

"Uncle, my name is Watanabe Tai, what's your name?"

The child sat down, reported to his house, and looked at Kigoro with an innocent face, waiting for his answer.

"Ghost Goro, uncle's name is Ghost Goro."

"Oh, Kigoro, that sounds weird, and besides, Uncle doesn't look like a local."

"Yes, my uncle is from out of town and comes here to work, do you often bring your friends here to play?"

"Well, yes before, I often came here with my friends."

"Oh, so they didn't play with you today?"

"No, they're all dead."
