Chapter 49: Fictional Memories
Su Ming swallowed, he felt that his temples were jumping and jumping, and he couldn't settle down in his heart.
The situation in front of him was too strange for him to deal with.
No, it shouldn't be that way!
Su Ming's instincts were reminding him.
Something is wrong, and the current situation should not be developed this way.
Calm down and think about it, is Flora's current state really bad?
Actually, it's not that bad, she's just a little insanate, and it's not a big deal compared to the forced love in the couple's secret house, so why should she be so upset?
Is it because this spiral staircase affects my mood?
Su Ming lowered his head and thought seriously, the inexplicable nervousness that appeared just now did not dissipate as Su Ming calmed down.
But now that he knows the root cause of the emotional influence, it is much easier to deal with the rest of the matter.
"Flora, think about it calmly, how long have we been living in this couple's secret house? It's almost a week, and the exact time should be eight days, eight days! How can we have children! Are you right? ”
Su Ming stared straight at Flora, and Flora was also stunned, her eyes widened, and her expression was shocked.
Just when Su Ming thought that he had woken up Flora, the other party suddenly spoke: "Eight days?!" We have lived here for eight years! ”
"Eight...... Eight what? ”
Su Ming was completely stunned, his original plan to wake up was completely disrupted by the other party.
"Honey, what's wrong with you? Do you have amnesia? ”
Flora wiped away her tears and came up to touch Su Ming's face, her movement of touching Su Ming was very natural, without a trace of hesitation, as if she was originally a wife who cared about her husband very much.
Su Ming wanted to dodge, but at the last moment, he forcibly stopped his reflex and let Flora's hand on his face.
Su Ming then asked, "In eight years, we have had a child?" ”
"Have you forgotten Alice? I gave birth to Alice in my second year living here, don't you remember? ”
Su Ming thought calmly for a while, then asked, "Flora, how old are you?" ”
"I'm twenty-eight, why do you suddenly ask this?" Flora's face was full of confusion.
"What year of the year?"
"268 years."
Su Ming knew in his heart that Flora's memory had indeed made a serious mistake, because he clearly remembered that this year was the 260th year of the new era!
But in Flora's memory, eight years have passed!
What did Flora fill with the extra eight years of memory?
"Flora, calm down, I'll go find Alice! But before that, I want to ask you some questions, and you must answer me truthfully. ”
"Just ask."
"What impressed you the most when we first got married?"
"This one...... Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? Flora's face suddenly turned red.
"Answer me." Su Ming emphasized.
Flora: "The one that impressed me the most was Christmas the first year, when I messed up dinner, the soup of the braised pork was dried up, and the meat was charred.
I thought you would talk about me, but instead of talking about me, you ate all the unpleasant dishes.
And then...... We were in the living room...... Do you remember? ”
"What's in the living room?" Su Ming asked.
Flora's expression was a little resentful, she raised her hand and pointed at the earphones: "Fang Ling is listening." ”
Su Ming didn't say a word, staring at Flora stubbornly.
Eventually, Flora relented, making a circle with her left hand, raising an index finger with her right hand, and gesturing with each other.
The implication is already very obvious, it is indeed a secret matter that can only be talked about between husband and wife.
From Flora's answer, it can be seen that she has a lot of memories, as if what never happened was a real thing.
But she was now very aware of the current situation of being monitored by Fang Ling.
So...... What's going on here?
"Alice is waiting for us, shouldn't we leave?" Flora urged.
"Wait! I...... My mind seems to be in a bit of a mess, and I feel like I can't remember something. Su Ming frowned and rubbed his temples.
In order to delay Flora and let her continue to obediently cooperate with him to answer questions, Su Ming had no choice but to disguise himself as an amnesiac person.
He immediately asked them why they had entered the underground staircase, and Flora's reply was that Fang Ling had said that Alice, who had been missing for a year, seemed to be here, so they came down.
She had completely forgotten what they had come here for: they had come in to test the limits of fear.
Su Ming asked for details about all aspects of the past eight years, and Flora answered all the questions fluently.
As long as she remembers things, she can say them in great detail, including how she felt at the time, what happened when it happened, and the change in her mentality in the process of dealing with things.
Even Su Ming asked her, why after eight years, our appearance has not aged at all?
To this, Flora's answer is that they are all old.
This staircase of fear did not cause Flora to hallucinate, but rather to stuff a fictitious memory directly into Flora's mind, and changed Flora's perception in front of her.
In Flora's eyes, Su Ming became Su Ming who grew up eight years later.
At this moment, Su Ming's heart surged with an emotion that he had never felt before.
He knew that all the strange phenomena now would disappear and return to normal after leaving here, but now he still couldn't help but want to quit.
This feeling is somewhat similar to the mood of watching a horror movie, when the timid people watch a horror movie, they will shrink themselves under the covers when they encounter a scary plot where a ghost is about to come out, or turn down the volume of the TV, and if they don't, they would rather turn it off and not watch it.
Originally...... Fear cannot be suppressed.
……
In the observation room of the Investigation Bureau and the Analysis Department, Fang Ling, Zhang Tianxiao, and Sylvie were all there, and there were two pictures on the big screen in front of the three of them, one was from Su Ming's perspective, and the other was from Flora's perspective.
In addition, the data of the two of them are displayed below, such as their heartbeat, breathing rate, body temperature, and the depth of their belongings underground.
The data shows that Flora is now at a depth of 100 meters underground, while Su Ming is at a depth of 30 meters.
Five hours had passed since they entered the stairwell.
"Although her abilities are strong, she sinks too fast, and she is not qualified to fight demons." Zhang Tianxiao said expressionlessly.
Fang Ling: "It's too early to draw conclusions, although her sinking speed is very fast, it doesn't mean that her depth will be shallow, maybe she is the kind of person who sinks quickly, but the limit is also very deep." ”
Zhang Tianxiao: "There are very few people like that. ”
Fang Ling: "But it's not nothing. ”
