On the forest trail, there are few people and there are almost none. There is a park next door, and there is no one to walk into, so why did Dr. Ai choose to open a clinic in such a remote place?

The strange thing is that Dr. Ai did not inform Xiao Ai in advance that he was not there, but a person named Huo Lun suddenly appeared. The person was not visible on the first two visits to the office. Even Dr. Ai didn't mention him, and as for Holren himself saying that he was Addison's partner, it means that they have a good relationship. In that case, why don't you listen to Dr. Ai? I have to check this matter with Dr. Ai again. Xiao Ai has an indescribable sense of vigilance towards Huo Lun, and she always feels that Huo Lun has something to hide.

Although it was the first time we met, this person was very strange. And she has amnesia, and she doesn't remember the past. I'm afraid that I have ignored a lot of things I don't understand because of amnesia. Maybe this person knew her, otherwise why did she have an impression of this person. It's better to take precautions.

"Since Dr. Ai is not here today, let's not do this treatment yet, I always think that Dr. Huo is a bit weird." Xiao Ai explained her departure to Xian Xiaoya.

Xian Xiaoya was a little puzzled and asked, "Haven't you seen him every time you come over?"

"I haven't seen him, he suddenly appeared, and Dr. Ai didn't explain to me that he had found someone else to treat him."

"Actually, it's nothing, are you too sensitive?"

"I can't say anything weird, but that's how I feel in my heart."

The two of them were walking in the park, chatting and chatting when they came across a bookstore with a café in it. Xiao Ai looked up at the display at the door and thought it was good. "How about we go in and rest?"

Xian Xiaoya was a little apprehensive and said, "Are you dressed like this? If you're not afraid, we'll go in. ”

"I just want to see how other people react, come, go in and see."

Xian Xiaoya was a little surprised, but still followed.

It's a bookstore that merges with a coffee shop, with stepped shelves and a place to drink coffee next to the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The interior is a simple design of pure beige white, and the space is very high and spacious, so the sunlight can shine in, which makes it look extraordinarily bright, and although the space makes full use of the light, it does not feel the heat of ultraviolet rays at all. It is also suitable for reading books quietly.

The two sat down opposite each other, Xian Xiaoya ordered two cups of coffee, Xiao Ai walked in on purpose, everyone here was quietly reading or drinking coffee, and they didn't care if they came in, Xiao Ai just wanted to see what kind of attitude others would have when they saw her strange appearance, but no.

Xian Xiaoya saw that Xiao Ai had put on the necklace at some point. And the necklace pendant around her neck was shining at this time, presumably it should be reflected in the refraction of the sun.

She asked curiously, "What is this?" Pointing to a corner somewhere, there was a projection, which turned out to be a small slice of the pendant, and the light and shadow reflected showed a strange pattern, like the number "12".

Xiao Ai took off the necklace and looked closely, there was indeed a 12-word pattern, and the refraction was not a coincidence, but more like some hint. Xiao Ai guessed like this; She stood up and walked over to the bookshelf. I always feel like I can find out something. What does 12 mean? Then she stopped under a bookshelf marked with serial number: 12.

She continued to try to search the shelves with serial number 12, finding a book in row 12. She took the book back to her seat and read it. Xian Xiaoya asked her, "What book are you holding?"

Xiao Ai looked at the cover and replied to her: "It's about philosophy, I just draw it casually by feeling, I'm trying to use the correlation of 12, maybe find out some information." She began to flip through it, "Just look at your instincts, 12 pages or 12 chapters or something, maybe there will be unexpected information." ”

Xian Xiaoya: "Is it the digital pattern that was reflected just now?" That's too mysterious......"

Xiao Ai looked at it very seriously, flipped and flipped, and stopped on a certain page.

"I seem to have really found something." She looked at Xian Xiaoya and said.

"What do you see? Do you understand what it says? ”

"I haven't studied philosophy, but this passage doesn't seem difficult to understand." A passage in Xiao Ai's instruction book.

"I don't understand, what do these words mean?"

"These words can be ignored, are you looking at what the 12th word of these four lines is connected to?"

"Alternate mode?" Xian Xiaoya looked confused. She shook her head, not knowing what she meant.

"The word! I'm impressed! I saw this word when I first hypnotized. So I'm impressed. ”

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I don't know, but I think it's the key to my amnesia, and don't you think I can meet you for a special reason? Not by chance. ”

"To be honest, I don't understand a word of what you're saying." Xian Xiaoya was even more confused by Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai said: "Moreover, ignoring these words, just from this paragraph of text, it is quite interesting." I found the twelfth sentence of the twelfth chapter of the book that mentions an extremely rational skeptic who thinks that what we see with our eyes is not necessarily what is real. This description really reminded me. ”

Then the coffee was served, and the waiter brought two cups of coffee to them. Xiao Ai noticed that the waitress was oblivious to her dress, as if she was nothing different at all, just an ordinary customer.

Xian Xiaoya responded to what she just said: "Although not everything can be judged correctly by seeing it as it is, but it can't always be overturned by everything, don't believe anything, right?"

"The waiter could see me, but she didn't think I looked weird, and he couldn't see the waiter when he was having dinner at the restaurant before. Why is that? ”

"I probably didn't notice you." Xian Xiaoya responded to her without deep thought.

Xiao Ai was surprised, "My face is wrapped like this, will no one notice me?" Won't be intimidated by the way I look? Isn't that weird? ”

"It's strange to say, the first time I accompanied you to the hospital, that Dr. Zhao didn't seem to see me." Xian Xiaoya also remembered.

"Some people see you, some people can't see me, and some people can see the two of us, but they don't react when they see me dressed."

"It's just an isolated phenomenon, and that doesn't say anything. It's just that one or two people can't see it, maybe they don't pay attention. Xian Xiaoya still felt that this didn't mean anything.

Xiao Ai pondered for a moment, still pondering the words on the chapter. "I understand the meaning of this passage to mean that he doubts the existence of all things, but there is one thing that he will never doubt, and that is the matter in which he is doubting."

Xian Xiaoya didn't understand at all: "Why are you suddenly interested in this?" What are you researching this for? ”

"I pondered the meaning of the words, and if a man was thinking about it, the only thing he could be sure of was that his thinking was there. Our ideology... That's right, it's consciousness! "Xiao Ai seems to have suddenly figured out something." How could I not have thought of it! ”

"What comes to mind?" Xian Xiaoya saw Xiao Ai's shocked expression.

"As you said before, when you accompanied me to the hospital for the first time, Dr. Zhao seemed to think that you didn't exist, maybe she really couldn't see you; Similarly, when I went to that restaurant with you, the little boy waiter didn't seem to see me. ”

re-repeated again and again, which made Xian Xiaoya begin to feel a little inexplicably afraid. "Do you mean we're both ghosts? Or are we the ghosts? ”

Xiao Ai: "It's not this line of thought, what I'm thinking of is consciousness, it's people's subconscious. Aside from those two things, haven't you encountered anything strange? ”

"That Horren just now, can you see his appearance clearly?" Xian Xiaoya thought she had lost her contact lenses at that time, but later found out that it was not, if Xiao Ai said something strange, would this count? In fact, there are many more, and she had already mentioned some to her at dinner the other day, but they didn't dig too deep.

"See, you...... Can not see? Xiao Ai was a little surprised.

"At that time, I thought I had lost my contact lenses, so I couldn't see them, and I couldn't see my surroundings clearly. But there was a big difference from Dr. Zhao's time, I saw Dr. Zhao, but she couldn't notice my presence. And Hollen, he can see you and me. ”

"I seem to have an impression of that Hollen, but I can't remember it because of my amnesia."

"I don't think there's anything strange about him, maybe it's your delusion."

"Obviously you and I have experienced a lot of strange things, shouldn't you start questioning the world? Or rather, all the sights in front of you! It may be all the work of consciousness. Xiao Ai began to make bold guesses.

Xian Xiaoya didn't quite accept it, "What kind of consciousness, I don't know what you're talking about?" Are you also doubting the authenticity of everything here? Did you crash into a car accident? ”

Saying this, Xiao Ai seemed to remember something.

"Are you sure I was in a car accident?"

Xian Xiaoya nodded, "Well, this possibility is very high, you still have amnesia, it is too suitable for the plot of the movie." ”

"Let's say it's a car accident. But how can the car be okay? The second time I went, even the car was gone. I'm not quite sure about the reality of this world anymore. How can you not doubt? ”

Xian Xiaoya couldn't accept what Xiao Ai said, she was just silent. Xiao Ai continued......

"If what we see is so weird, what is going on with us? It seems to quietly change the consciousness of our brains, making us feel that these unreasonable things are presented in front of our eyes. All kinds of problems were swirling in Xiao Ai's mind, and she began to have headaches again.

Xian Xiaoya looked very calm, but in fact, she was up and down in her heart, and she was no less than Xiao Ai in the strange things that had happened recently. After drinking the last sip of coffee, he said in a deep voice: "Since you have a headache, don't think about it anymore, maybe it's all your imagination."

She eased her thoughts and continued: "Even if it's weird, but life still has to go on, I feel that I'm in a good state now, except that meeting you was an accident, not that your weirdness made me what's wrong, it's just that I think it's really incredible, you should understand what I said." However, I don't want to change or negate what is now... You should understand what I'm thinking. ”

"You're worried... Everything is in vain? ”

Xian Xiaoya shook her head, she didn't want to admit it. "No, I'm not worried."

"What if all this is untrue..."

"No, I think everything is natural, it's normal, you're just an accident; It is not possible to generalize. Her expression became serious; Okay, this topic can be closed for now, and if you want me to help you find out, I can go with you to the police. But let's stop thinking about it. ”

Xiao Ai shook his head. "It's not something that can be solved by going to the police. By the way, your kids are coming back, right? ”

Xian Xiaoya was stunned by her sudden question.

Child? …… Yes, she has a daughter.
