Deep ravines opened up in the ground, and countless buildings collapsed under violent tremors.
Wu Ming walked briskly in the disintegrated 'Night City', humming a weird tune in his mouth, and headed deeper over the ruins on both sides of the road.
The collapsed and crumbling buildings did not turn into a pile of ruins like in the real world, but turned into little glowing fragments floating in the wind. Those shimmering fragments were reflecting scenes of constantly changing scenes.
Scenes of memories emerge from these fragments and then disappear quietly.
Wu Ming read these memories and emotions along the way.
The thrill of receiving encouragement from an audience for the first time.
The confusion of knowing that you are sick and may die.
The pain and helplessness when foremen and peace officers withheld wages and robbed them of their wages.
When he was hungry, he imagined the taste of dumplings and strawberries that Agou had told him.
These emotions and memories were displayed in front of Wu Ming without reservation, and the strong emotions that emerged with the memories flowed into his heart, allowing him to feel these memories better.
But the more Wu Ming looked at these memories, the more solemn his expression became.
Not only because of the empathic understanding and empathy of Acha’s experience, but also because these memories are contradictory and conflicting
There are countless contradictory records in these memories.
Sometimes Acha met Agou in the orphanage, and sometimes it was Acha who met Agou while working in a factory. Sometimes he even never knew Agou.
Sometimes Ah Cha is a broadcaster who relies on the parts he picked up to repair the radio. Sometimes what is reflected in his memory is that he and a few friends are together, and then Agou helps him repair the radio.
Sometimes Ah Cha becomes a worker who has never had a dream. Like other workers in the factory, he is squeezed out of his blood and sweat and used as consumables to drain out the last remaining value.
If this can be understood as memory disorder, then the memory that Wu Ming saw next cannot be explained by memory disorder.
die.
Just in terms of memories of death, Wu Ming saw no less than a dozen different types of death.
There is no memory of meeting Agou in the orphanage and dying young due to a high fever.
He was lonely all his life, and like most workers in Night City, he had the memory of sudden and early death due to over-squeezing himself.
The memory of me continuing to take steps towards my dream of becoming a broadcaster, feeling that the future could always get better, but being completely defeated by the disease.
The memory of starving to death in bed; the memory of being beaten to death by a police sergeant one day because he got off work too late; the memory of being killed by an idle man and taking away his last bit of property;
Unexpectedly, there were so many things hidden in this boy's palace. Wu Ming grabbed a handful of fragments and quickly scanned the memories mapped on them. After confirming that this was another different type of death memory, he couldn't help but murmur. , people will die when they are killed, but how come there are so many memories about death in this kid's memory? It can't be that this kid has death phobia and thinks about how he will die every day, right?
Yes, this is a palace built by Acha's surface consciousness. The sum of his life experiences will become the cornerstone and material of the palace, and will be reflected in a more concrete mental landscape.
The 'City of Night' where Wu Ming is now is the palace created by the sum of Acha's life experiences.
And this is not the real Night City in the outside world, it is just a reproduction of some parts of the real world outside. If there is a way to observe it from above, you will find that this 'Night City' except this one Outside the streets, the places further outside are surrounded by dark and calm sea water.
The scene of this street is Acha's mental landscape, because it is the place he is most familiar with in his life and has the deepest impression on his heart - his home.
And the road to the factory.
However, with the death of Acha, the surface consciousness quickly faded, and his mental scenery and palaces were also rapidly collapsing. The mental scenery and palaces presented in concrete images were being restored to life experiences, and would eventually gradually settle into the world as they collapsed. Below the sea surface - that is, in the symbolic island of the individual subconscious.
In the sea of collective unconsciousness, death is an extremely long process. The first is the dissipation and collapse of surface consciousness. This will cause the island of light floating on the 'sea' to begin to collapse. The mental landscapes and palaces above disappear due to the disappearance of surface consciousness. It is reduced to its original essence and then precipitated into the island of subconsciousness below the sea surface. When this precipitation is completely completed, the island of subconsciousness carrying the synthesis of life experiences will precipitate all the way to the depths of the sea.
Finally, we reach the bottom of the sea of collective unconsciousness, where we reintegrate with the 'collective' and return to the deep sea.

From the perspective of psychology, which he only knows a little about, people with so many conflicting memories in their minds should have become patients with dissociative personality disorder, and they should not have only one palace. , but the strange thing is that whether it is judging from Wu Ming’s contact with Ah Cha or the number of palaces, it is impossible for Ah Cha to be a patient with a personality disorder.
I always feel that something is not quite right.
Change first and then change
