Chapter 36: Zheng Yonghua
"I don't know my own secrets?"
Xiao Mo felt that these words were a bit tongue-twisting, and it sounded even more very strange, he smiled and said:
"If I don't even know myself, how much can you, who don't know me very well, know?
Unless ......"
Xiao Mo didn't dare to say it to death, because since this old man first met, he had a feeling that this old man seemed to know him, and in the fatal challenge he had experienced before, there was also a person who looked like this old man inside.
"You want to say, unless you're amnesia, right? So forget jì we know each other. ”
Xiao Mo looked at the old man with some shock, obviously, this old man did know something. Because he knew about his amnesia, there was only Li Shuai and a little follower on the bus.
Li Shuai, as his good friend and brother, naturally would not reveal his secret to an annoying outsider. As for the little follower, he is a mute and does not have the ability to speak at all, so when he thinks about it this way, then the old man will know that there is only one possibility left in this matter.
He had been in contact with the old man during the time of his amnesia, and he also told the old man about the fact that he had lost his memory...... No, it's not! If he had realized that he was losing his memory at the beginning, wouldn't that mean that his amnesia had nothing to do with entering the forbidden land?
But Zhang Tianyi and Lao Gao Ming told him that he had entered the forbidden land during that period, and if it is inferred from the time when he appeared in Qingyuan City later, the time of his amnesia should have been after entering the forbidden land.
Although Xiao Mo was a little confused, he couldn't figure out what was going on. But he didn't show any panic, because since the old man took the initiative to make a deal with him, he wouldn't say half of what he said. After that, I was playing tricks with him.
Thinking about it like this, Xiao Mo suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and the old man continued at this time:
"First of all, I would like to introduce myself, my real name is Zheng Yonghua, and I am a professor of medicine, specializing in mental illness."
The old man's voice was a little hoarse and told Xiao Mo his true identity, when Xiao Mo heard the words "Zheng Yonghua". and the word "professor", he immediately thought of Professor Zheng who appeared in the deadly challenge.
"So we really know each other?"
"Of course, it's just a bit of a wolf to meet again." Zheng Yonghua couldn't help but sigh again.
"That's not what I'm trying to say. It's about the deadly challenge, and it's actually my memories that appear in it? Xiao Mo looked at Zheng Yonghua blankly, and was already faintly aware of a terrible problem.
"Well, the curse has passed on your challenge to me. You're right. It is indeed a world created by the sea of your memory......"
Zheng Yonghua knew that this Xiao Mo was not Xiao Mo, so he also patiently explained to Xiao Mo about the sea of memory.
"Let's put it this way, the sea of memory is like a memory card with a huge memory, storing everything we have seen and heard in our lives. However, because the amount of information is too large, in order not to affect the normal functioning of our brains, some memories are hidden.
If you compare it figuratively, this is like those hidden text jiàn folders in the computer, only special searches. as well as displaying to be able to see their save.
But you can't see it, you can't feel it. But that doesn't mean they don't exist. ”
Xiao Mo probably understood what Zheng Yonghua meant, he habitually pinched his chin, and then said with emotion:
"Looks like I need to reacquaint myself with my brain and the memories that are in my head."
"Well, if you want to deepen your understanding of him, you can count yourself completely, think of yourself as a number jù, which may make it easier for you to think."
Speaking of which, Zheng Yonghua used his hand to touch himself:
"Like me, I've always thought of my sagi as an NPC in this cursed game, and escapees like you are characters, and there is some interaction between us."
"If you really look at the curse with your thoughts, then our existence becomes meaningless. Cursed games, character characters, NPCs. Do you think we're just a string of code? Or is the meaning of our zài because of this cursed game? ”
Xiao Mo did not restrain his ridicule of Zheng Yonghua's point of view, of course, this did not mean that he firmly believed that Zheng Yonghua was wrong, he was just unwilling to accept this fate.
Zheng Yonghua seemed to have expected Xiao Mo to say this, so he laughed dryly twice, and the wrinkles on his face stretched slightly:
"We may really just be a string of code that is active in a program, and the reason why we have zài, or why we have zài, is simply because we serve this cursed game as characters and NPCs.
And, of course, there is the sea of our memory, and when you begin to understand it and start to dare to explore it, you will have doubts about the reality of the current situation.
Wonder if we are in reality, in our own memories, or in someone else's dreams.
There are so many things in the world that we may all be obsessed with......"
"Enough!" Xiao Mo interrupted Zheng Yonghua in a cold voice, and then he sneered mercilessly:
"With your thoughts, you deserve to be a slave and be kept in captivity here. If the deal you're talking to me about is trying to brainwash me, then there's no need for us to talk about it anymore.
Because no matter what the truth is, I have great faith in my own existence, and I believe that I will be able to get out of here alive. ”
"Do you really believe in yourself? Are you sure you have no doubts about your existence? Zheng Yonghua still refuses to give up.
"I admit that I did doubt myself before, and more than once. Even in the midst of the fatal challenge, I sank into it for a while, thinking of myself as a different person entirely.
But now, I have to believe in myself more than ever, because standing here, the person standing here and talking to you is none other than me, Xiao Mo.
So I figured out that if a person doesn't even believe in himself, if he has to doubt and deny himself, then that's the real non-existence. ”
"Not bad."
Zheng Yonghua suddenly uncharacteristically agreed with Xiao Mo's point of view, and he said slowly again:
"If a person doubts himself all the time, then he becomes a different person. Not the other way around. ”
Xiao Mo just looked at the "dry corpse" in front of him, and did not take the topic to continue.
Zheng Yonghua also seemed to see that Xiao Mo had lost patience with him, so he finally stopped going around the bend and said very bluntly:
"Don't get me wrong, the reason why I just said so much to you is just to test your beliefs, after all, it's about my own freedom.
Well, I'm not going to talk nonsense anymore, I'm going to tell you about our previous intersection now......"
According to Zheng Yonghua's recollection, the two of them met about three years ago, and he approached Zheng Yonghua for the reason of consulting his condition. Because Zheng Yonghua is very famous in the field of mental illness, he not only masters traditional treatment methods, but also masters a very special set of hypnotherapy.
Many patients with severe illnesses have gradually recovered and finally recovered to the standard line of normal people under the treatment of traditional treatment and hypnotherapy.
Speaking of which, he was also admired at that time. After the two met, he told Zheng Yonghua in detail about his condition, and was finally diagnosed by Zheng Yonghua with severe mental breakdown, accompanied by strong paranoia.
Although he knew that he must have mental problems, he did not believe that he had reached such a point. Because according to what he learned, severe mental breakdown even made it difficult for him to take care of himself, and he only occasionally experienced a sense of trance, and his forgetting intensified.
Zheng Yonghua gave him a lot of explanations at that time, and formulated a set of rehabilitation plans for him in detail, first with traditional treatment, and then combined with hypnotherapy.
In order to treat the disease, he temporarily rented a house near the hospital, and went to Zheng Yonghua almost every day, and over time, the two of them became acquainted.
After getting acquainted, he told Zheng Yonghua some of his daily habits, and indirectly told him about the existence of supernatural events. However, Zheng Yonghua at that time just regarded what he said as a symptom he expressed, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
It wasn't until he himself encountered a supernatural event that he really believed his words. But it was precisely because of his words at that time that he helped Zheng Yonghua survive the supernatural event.
Zheng Yonghua's treatment lasted for about half a year, and he also left several times in the past six months, but he would return in a few days. Zheng Yonghua is not a talkative person, so he didn't ask him at that time why he gave up treatment!
After more than half a year of treatment, his condition was well controlled, and at least for a long time, there was no more forgetting. He may have felt that his illness had been cured, so he privately gave Zheng Yonghua a sum of money on the basic treatment costs to express his gratitude.
When Zheng Yonghua saw him again, it was the first time he came to the camp of the escapees. At first, Zheng Yonghua thought he had met an acquaintance, but after a closer look, he found that in addition to looking exactly the same, they were different in temperament, the way they spoke, and their behavior and habits.
And under Zheng Yonghua's subsequent temptation, he was more sure of this idea. This is also the reason why he deliberately made things difficult for Xiao Mo and Li Shuai at the beginning.
But because the two look too similar, Zheng Yonghua still pays more attention than other escapees.
What really changed Zheng Yonghua's mind was that he returned to the camp once again and participated in the deadly challenge. Because of these two reasons, he paid special attention to the deadly challenges that Xiao Mo participated in, and it can be said that he couldn't escape his sight from beginning to end.
And in this observation, he knew Xiao Mo's secret, and knew that this Xiao Mo was Su Hao who found him and sought treatment in the first place! And in the fatal challenge, he really saw Su Hao's terrifyingness and Xiao Mo's hidden potential.
And this gave him hope of regaining his freedom. (To be continued......)
