On the Edge of Despair: Chapter 10

Yesterday's lunch, what a simple question......

Our brains will subconsciously filter out important or unimportant memories for classification, the most insignificant of which are like how many sockets there are in the room, how many jacks are in each socket, and if you don't reconfirm it, you may not be able to come up with an answer even if you think about it for hours......

A little further up is probably the location of the trash can, the placement of the exercise book, the brand of the mouse, and what you eat, although it is a little difficult, but if you think hard, you should be able to come up with a relatively correct answer in one to five minutes.

Of course, this kind of thing varies from person to person, and some people may be particularly concerned about the number of sockets in their room, or they may always subconsciously forget the location of the exercise book, etc., but this is an individual case after all.

Sixteen people spent about ten minutes at all without any of them remembering what they had for lunch yesterday, the probability of this kind of thing is infinitely close to zero, at least Liu Li, who is a super college chef, has absolutely no reason not to know!

"I ...... I really can't think of it......" Liu Li noticed everyone's gaze and said distressedly: "I know I should think of it, at least I should be able to, but I really can't think of it!

A feeling that is not unfamiliar has risen from everyone's hearts again, Ji Wutong knows very well that it is the fear and confusion that have just faded a little, when his memories are no longer trustworthy or not enough to rely on, this feeling comes back stronger than anything else.

Because of dependencies......

What everyone relies on most is actually themselves, believing in their own personality, believing in their own practices, believing in their own decisions, believing in their own memories......

And now, there is a problem with memory.

"It seems to be true. Yulin said a little deflated: "I only have the memory of coming to Hope Peak High School to report today, but I can't even remember who I divined yesterday." ”

Cui Fan also nodded: "I can still remember how many books I have read and remember their contents, but if I say what I read exactly yesterday, I don't know." ”

"What is this?" Yang Rui said viciously: "What is this!?Why can't we remember!? We can't remember what it's for!!"

Jiang Dao, who no one wanted her to speak, smiled: "Do you still need to ask...... Hehehehe...... Of course, it's to torture us, of course, so that we can die a little bit in this confusion and despair!"

"Jiang Dao......" Ji Wutong glanced at Ye Xi next to him who seemed to be crying, and said with a wry smile: "I know that the current situation is a little weird, but you better say a few words." ”

Surprisingly, the latter really nodded lightly and stopped talking......

"Calm down, everyone. Ferry stood up and smiled briskly: "It's just that I forgot what I ate, even if there is really something wrong with my memory, I don't think it's a big deal~"

Joe stretched a big stretch and echoed: "That's right, we haven't forgotten too many things anyway, don't we all remember our parents, friends or something? I remember everything I like, right? I remember who I am, right? I remember the boy or girl I like, right?"

"Uh......"

Everyone looked for what they said and recalled, and it seemed that this was really the case......

Ji Wutong remembers with great confidence who he is, who his parents are, who his good friends are, what movies he likes to watch, the general content of many inspirations he has in the computer, and the girls he likes......

This one really doesn't have ~

"Haha~" He suddenly laughed.

"Hey, what are you laughing at all of a sudden?" Kang Xiaofeng had a question mark on his face.

Ji Wutong spread his hands: "I tried to recall it just now, I thought I must have a girlfriend or something, but I just forgot about it, but I found that I really don't have a girlfriend......"

"What a cold joke. He commented lightly.

But everyone finally calmed down a little, and all those important memories were not forgotten, and their own affairs were not forgotten, but they were blurred or couldn't remember what happened two days ago, so it was not so terrible, at least not to the extent of causing panic.

"So everyone summed it up pretty much the same. Chang Xia smiled: "The question is, what should we do next?"

Yang Rui glanced at him: "Do you still need to ask, of course, you should find a way to leave this ghost place immediately!"

Zhen shook his head: "It's certain to find a way to leave, but it's better to be exempt immediately, everyone's mental state is actually not good now, including myself, I suggest that you don't continue to explore work for the time being today, it's better to recharge your energy first." ”

"Agreed. Inan was succinct and to the point.

"Hey, is it really okay to be so unhurried?" Wan Teng asked, "God knows when that bad bear will attack us, I think it's better to find a way out quickly." ”

Yang Rui nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes!"

"But I do feel a little tired when I hear this from my classmates. Kang Xiaofeng lay on the table: "And haven't we already searched all the places we can go? I don't think there will be any unexpected gains from launching a second search immediately." ”

That's right, I'm really a little tired......

Ji Wutong was fine before, but when he heard what he said just now, he suddenly found that his body had become a little heavy, and the excitement caused by panic and fear at the beginning was gradually passing, and a large amount of exhaustion gradually came up in his place, and he continued to search in this state......

"I'm also in favor of taking a break first. Ji Wutong nodded and said: "At least don't be so busy, everyone can move freely, of course, try not to act alone." ”

He was still worried, because the shadow that lingered in his heart had not yet dissipated, but had become heavier and heavier as time passed.

That's a kind of madness...... Sick madness...... It's dangerous, it's dangerous......

Gently rubbing the corners of his forehead, Ji Wutong tried to make himself a little more comfortable, maybe a quiet environment would be better...... But maybe it's better to have people around all the time......

"That's it. Bai Miaomiao squatted on the spacious chair with her hands on her knees and said: "The current situation is really not suitable for searching for anything, let's disband it temporarily after making some preparations, just now Chang Xia said that he needed paper and pen to record the tableware in the kitchen, I remember that Xiaofeng's group and Yulin's group both have it, right?"

Kang Xiaofeng nodded: "Well, we found a signature pen and some A4 paper, I'll cooperate with Chang Xia to record it later." ”

"Okay. Chang Xia smiled: "Then it's troublesome for you, let's move fast~ I also want to take a break~"

"I still remember that Cui Fan said that he wanted to go to the library again, right?" Bai Miaomiao continued: "Isn't it good for you to go alone......

Yulin got up and said, "I'll go with him, I went there before." ”

Cui Fan smiled: "That's great, I'll be a little worried when I go alone, and it will be a lot more efficient to have a beautiful woman by my side when I read a book." ”

"Then let's disband it first. Bai Miaomiao jumped down from the chair and walked to her room: "Try not to be too tired, if you can, go back to the dormitory to rest, and gather in the dining room early tomorrow morning to find a way." ”

What a guy who does his own thing but is very reliable......

Ji Wutong looked at her back and thought sincerely.

It's just that...... Isn't it dangerous......

"Then I'll go first. Liu Li stood up and said: "My head hurts to death, anyway, I'll come over later to make something to eat and stay here, if everyone is hungry, try to come to the restaurant to eat ready-made~"

Are you going to cook later...... Although I was looking forward to it...... But is it really good to directly expose your own trajectory and time in this way......

Everyone didn't know when they left one after another, and it seemed that they had gone to the entertainment room for recreation, but most of them said that they would go back to their dormitory first, but Ji Wutong had been sitting in place restlessly......

[What am I thinking...... Why do you think that Miao Miao's situation is dangerous...... Why do you think that Liu Li said that it is inappropriate to come to the restaurant to cook at night...... It's completely different from my style and habits, isn't it...... Why......]

Ji Wutong was very distressed, very, very, very distressed! He didn't know what the problem was, he didn't know why he was thinking about it, but the most terrible thing was that he felt that he should understand, but he didn't want to admit it.

"Now, Wutong-san......"

He cared too much about the words that were about cannibalism......

"Sycamore-san?"

Inexplicable feelings of guilt, insecurity, and fear linger......

"That...... Wutong-san, are you alright?"

"Huh?" Suddenly sensing that someone was talking in his ear, Ji Wutong was shocked into a cold sweat, he looked back suddenly, and found that Ye Xi was standing behind him, looking at him with some concern.

Forcibly calming himself down, Ji Wutong reluctantly hung up a smile: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing~" Ye Xi shook his head: "It's just that you have been very depressed, and I am a little worried." ”

Ji Wutong scratched his hair: "Thank you, I'm fine, being locked up in this kind of place, it's normal to have a little psychological pressure, I will try my best to adjust it." ”

"Wutong-san is really strong~" Ye Xi smiled: "When we searched together before, I felt that you seemed to be a little scared like me at first, but I quickly calmed down, and when I discussed it just now, I didn't know that there were so many details that I didn't notice, you are very reliable......"

I don't know why, the tense nerves relaxed all of a sudden, and the breathing began to become less heavy, and those messy thoughts were also thrown out of his mind, and Ji Wutong felt that his whole body was relaxed.

[It's because...... Is this guy ......]

He looked at Ye Xi, who was a little pale, but still smiled very gently, and also smiled: "I'm just trying to help, if you are strong, aren't you the same?"

"I'm not strong at all. Ye Xi pulled out a chair and sat next to Ji Wutong, and said with a look of longing: "It would be nice if I could be a girl like Mu Chen~ both strong and free~"

Mu Chen......?

It doesn't seem to be one of the eight girls out of the sixteen this time, right? Who is that?

"Hehe, you don't know, right?" Ye Xi covered his mouth and chuckled: "You shouldn't know it!"

Ji Wutong was stunned, and then suddenly said: "What you said won't be the ...... in "Troubled Rivers and Lakes"!"

"That's right~ It's the heroine in that drama. Ye Xi smiled: "It's not good to forget the heroine in your story~"

"Troubled Rivers and Lakes" is Ji Wutong's work after he has obtained a super university-level screenwriter, it is a costume TV series, in which Mu Chen is the heroine, the first of the two major forces in the rivers and lakes - the only apprentice of the Wind Demon King, the personality is just like Ye Xi said, strong and free~

"I like it so much~!" Ye Xi said with a wistful expression: "I kept chasing after it at that time!"

Ji Wutong blinked: "It's an honor~ I didn't expect my work to be recognized by super university-level handicraft experts." ”

"Don't say that, I'm only a little more hands-on. Ye Xi shook her little head and said: "She is introverted, can't speak, afraid of being timid, and weak, and is a bad and useless girl." ”

I don't know why, Ji Wutong suddenly wanted to reach out and rub her hair......

I guess it's going to be a pervert......

"Now, this one is for you. Ye Xi suddenly stretched out his hand in front of him, and at the same time as a girl's unique fragrance came, Ji Wutong also saw a vivid paper flower.

It's just like the real thing, I don't know how it was made at all, it seems to be the A4 paper found during the previous search, Ji Wutong feels like a real thing no matter how he looks at it.

"White Rose~" Ye Xi smiled: "My favorite flower, I couldn't help much when I discussed it before, so I made one and gave it to you." ”

Ji Wutong gently took the paper rose with the fragrance of the creator, stood up and saluted slightly, and said with a slight exaggeration: "I will protect it as your life, because nothing is more important to me than that~"

"Well, you're far worse than a professional actor when you speak your lines. Ye Xi nodded solemnly, and then giggled: "But it's quite interesting." ”

That's right, what Ji Wutong said just now is naturally not a confession, it's just the lines that the actor in the TV series mentioned by Ye Xi just now.

"That's why there will be a lot of scandals about him, and I don't have any at all~" Ji Wutong also joked: "In short, thank you, classmate Ye Xi." ”

Ye Xi shook his head: "Actually, when I first saw you, I felt very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere, and then I didn't remember until you introduced yourself, you are the screenwriter of that TV series~ The world is so small~ Hehe." ”

[Is that so?]

If that's the case...... So I've never seen you, and I haven't cared about the works of super college-level handicraft masters...... Why does it feel so familiar at this moment......]
