Chapter 007: Mechanism
Holidays always go by quickly. In the blink of an eye, the National Day is coming to an end. During this period, Hetale no longer had headaches, and his daily routine was very regular. This made the black mother He Limei even more convinced that her son had obviously recovered, and the idea of hiring a nanny was temporarily shelved.
On the last day of the National Day holiday, Hei Dad Hai Limin bought back several small wireless video surveillance cameras from the electronic city and studied them with Hetale. They installed cameras in all corners of the room. This reminded him of the picture of his father splicing toy blocks with him when he was a child, happy and warm. "It would be nice if I never grew up! It would be nice if parents were forever young! He had a sour nose and almost burst into tears.
"You've grown up and you have to accept it. In my generation, some men of your age are already married, have children, and live independently. Xiao Yanzhen said in Heitale's ear.
"Le, I didn't mean to laugh at you. In the near future, you will have to face all the hardships and hardships of life alone. Only by constantly improving your mind and gradually becoming stronger will you be able to overcome them and not be defeated by the cruel reality. Xiao Yanzhen explained.
"Although I am not a few years older than you, I don't necessarily have more knowledge than you. But people of my generation who were born are always more mature than their current peers. Because we understood the hardships and difficulties of real life earlier. Xiao Yanzhen continued.
"Really, I'm not mad at you. I'm just sighing. I have to admit that you're right. It's time for me to grow up. Hettal replied.
After the video cameras were all over the room, Black Mom and Dad successfully connected each camera with their mobile phones, and the video effect was very clear. "Uh-huh, yes, okay." Black mother He Limei nodded with satisfaction.
After the National Day holiday, Hetale finally ushered in a comfortable life of his own.
Since he was still in the recovery period of his physical and mental state, his parents did not arrange any study tasks for him, and he was in a state of complete relaxation every day.
Early in the morning, the parents prepare lunch for the Hattar in advance and put it in a thermos bucket. Black mother He Limei also specially prepared an instant soup for Hetale that can be drunk with hot water.
Although facing the occasional monitoring of his parents, Hetale's heart is already very satisfied.
This rare time alone gave Hattale ample enough time to take stock of the past five months and explore the mechanism of soul transformation.
It has been more than five months since his body fell from the ancient city wall of Black Eagle Terrace. The first half a month was spent in the hospital. Then, he lay at home for nearly a month. Subsequently, he traveled to major hospitals, temples, and the residence of "Daxian". Finally, he spent nearly two months in a psychiatric treatment center. The communication with Xiao Yanzhen's soul through meditation was also achieved shortly before the National Day. In the previous four months, the two souls alternated repeatedly, and their memories were also intermittent.
"I think it's time for us to sort out the memories of the past five months. What have we been through all this time? Did you do anything out of the ordinary? Heitale said to Xiao Yanzhen.
"These five months are both short and long. During this period, a lot did happen. Sometimes, I feel like I'm receiving too much information and can't digest it for a while. These pieces of information, like broken tiles, appear in my memory from time to time, chaotic and disorderly. Xiao Yanzhen said.
"I remember when I first woke up, I saw your parents and thought I was dreaming. Because of your physical discomfort, I can also empathize. So, in that kind of splitting headache, I couldn't hear what they were saying to me. Only their anxious and concerned expressions could be seen. They asked me questions, and I picked the ones I understood. Later, when the souls alternated, I told them that I myself was a Da Liao and temporarily occupied your body. However, no one believed it at all, and I was very helpless! Xiao Yanzhen continued.
"You haven't done anything particularly embarrassing during this time, have you?" Hetale asked tentatively.
"This ......" Xiao Yanzhen paused, looking a little embarrassed to say.
"I'll say it anyway! I did do something that seems stupid now. For example, I used your mother's lipstick as cinnabar paste and painted a number of patterns on my face, which looked quite powerful. Xiao Yan said with an embarrassed smile.
"I remember that. I was really shocked and thought I had schizophrenia. I see! Hettal laughed too.
"Also, that is, do you remember the two bottles of Wuliangye in the glass cabinet in the entrance of your house?" Xiao Yanzhen asked in a low voice.
"Got it. Got it. These two bottles of wine were shown by my mother to outsiders. I guess you drank it. You're such a complete drunkard! It caused me to faint and vomit for two days and two nights, scared my mother and almost hung up 120, and finally it was the hangover medicine that my father bought. I drank several bottles in a row and threw up unconscious. Hetale smiled wryly.
"I'm sorry! Sorry! At that time, I didn't expect that you were young, but your body was not very good, and so was the amount of alcohol. I owe it to you, I'm sorry! But don't say it, it's really good, it's more flavorful than any wine I've drunk before, and it's quite enjoyable. Xiao Yan said with a wicked smile.
"Alas! You old drunkard. Hatale laughed angrily.
"What else? What other bad things have you done? Hetale continued to ask.
"Another time, your parents took me to a 'great immortal' house. They heard that the 'Great Immortal' could dispel the charm, and they wanted the 'Great Immortal' to 'take me' away. The 'Great Immortal' was an old lady, in her seventies, with a cloudy gray-blue left eye that looked like a glass bead. The right eye is a normal black eyeball. She smoked a long cigarette in her mouth, spat at me, and from time to time she took a short brush with a rod and dipped it in a small copper basin, and dusted it on me. Speaking of this, Xiao Yanzhen paused.
"And then? And then what? Blacktower asked.
"Whether it's an immortal or not, I don't know. It doesn't work for me anyway. The more I looked at her chattering appearance, the more angry I became, so I simply snatched the long cigarette between her fingers, inserted it into a small copper basin and pressed it out, and splashed the water in the basin on the goddess, so frightened that the goddess talked nonsense and 'invited' us out. Xiao Yanzhen smiled evilly again.
"Don't you believe in demons and gods? We now all call people who don't believe in ghosts and gods 'atheists.' Hattale said.
"Definitely. Definitely. Many of us Daliao people believe in Buddhism, and I am no exception. Every temple fair, my mother would go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva and pray for the health of the whole family. My mother said that although we are not monks, as long as we have a Buddha in our hearts, we are Buddhist disciples, and we will be taken care of by the Bodhisattva. Xiao Yanzhen said.
"And ...... Something, I'...... Gotta ...... with you Say it. Xiao Yanzhen's words were intermittent and a little hesitant.
"What's the matter? Why are you still shy? Hettal asked.
"It's summer, before I go to the psychiatric center. One weekend, your parents took me to the mall, and I just wanted to go to the toilet, so I asked your father for a general direction, and then ran to find the toilet. As a result, it took a long time to find it. In a hurry, I didn't pay attention to the male and female signs, and ended up in the women's toilet by mistake. It was fine when we went in, there was no one inside. When I finished untying my hands and was about to come out, two sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls walked in. One of them was tall with short, shoulder-length hair, a pair of shiny metal-rimmed glasses, and a cream-white cut-out dress. The other one is shorter, looks like a tomboy, has hair about the same length as you, three or seven points, and wears a blue and white short-sleeved tracksuit. If she hadn't come in with a woman, I'd have thought she was a man. At that time, we were all stunned. I looked at them for a moment, reacted quickly, and ran out at a faster pace. Xiao Yanzhen said shyly.
"As I ran out, I heard one of the girls laughing like a bell, and the other girl asked, 'That guy couldn't be a pervert?' I still can't forget their faces and the voices they spoke. ”
At this time, Xiao Yan's real shyness was causing a wave of heat on Hei Tale's face. A faint white glow appeared in front of Hatale's eyes again, and his soul alternated again.
At this moment, the memories of Heitale and Xiao Yanzhen in the past five months were intertwined, reforming the time-space memories shared by the two people.
"Control of the body has been reversed." Xiao Yanzhen reminded.
"Well, I've figured out what happened before. Whenever we feel a change in bad emotions such as fear, negativity, decadence, sadness, boredom, loss, shyness, overexcitement, etc., we have a soul switch, or a change of control over the body. Before, we were working in silos, with no information, and our feelings and memories were not synchronized. Everyone seems to be in a state of intermittent amnesia. Hattale said.
"It's not like that at all now. Although the control of the body can still be triggered by bad emotions, the two of us exist at the same time. Although it is a state of being one and the other, we all feel the same contact between the body and the outside world, and form a common memory, including the spiritual touch of each person. Xiao Yanzhen added.
"Brother Xiao, thank you...... Saved my life! At this moment, Hetale finally mustered up the courage to say this sentence that had been held in his heart for a long time.
"You're so numb! As an aside, you're not a good fit. It's so bad that I can't show all my skills! Now, we're wearing a pair of pants, so we've got to work on our bodies! Xiao Yanzhen said with a smile.
