Huh? what happened? Me, have my analytical skills always been so good? Unknowingly, I was able to analyze so many things... Is such a powerful analytical reasoning ability possessed by ordinary people? Or am I always like this? Was this the case in the past?
Damn it, I can’t remember it, I can’t remember it, I can’t remember it. Except for what happened recently, all the earlier memories are gone. Why? Why is this happening! ?
………
Chen Wen is currently in a state of confusion. However, the more he is like this, the more he thinks that he may really be another person!
After being stunned for about a minute, Chen Wen suddenly came back to his senses. His expression froze as if he suddenly remembered something. He came to the door, quietly opened the door and entered the living room. He looked at the coffee table. Sure enough, his father's mobile phone was still the same as usual. Also placed on the coffee table.
This is his father's old habit. The other party often forgets his mobile phone in the living room because he watches football games too late. Unexpectedly, this time it provided Chen Wen with great convenience, because...
He wants to prove something!
Picking up the phone and returning to the bedroom, he fiddled with it for a while and opened the phone book interface of his father's phone. He saw that there were many groups in it, including family members, friends and colleagues. Seeing this, Chen Wen clicked on the family option without hesitation. Next Many relatives' names and phone numbers are displayed on the mobile phone screen.
After thinking for a while, Chen Wen dialed his grandfather's landline phone.
Beep...beep...beep...
The call rang for a long time, but no one answered it. After all, it was already around 1 a.m. During this time, most people except those working the night shift were probably sleeping. Although it was unethical to disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night, for the current situation, Chen Wenlai said that he could no longer care so much.
When it comes to his grandfather and grandmother, Chen Wen's memories, which he doesn't know whether true or false, are quite impressive. His grandmother died of illness a few years ago, and his grandfather was a very kind old man who worked as an accountant in a factory before retiring. , has always loved fishing after retirement, and loves his only grandson Chen Wen very much.
Beep...beep...
Wow.
Coincidentally, the call continued and no one answered it for a long time. Just when Chen Wen thought that no one would answer in the middle of the night and was about to hang up, there was a clatter of the landline phone being picked up, and immediately, an old voice The voice came from the phone:
"Hello? Who is it? It's so late at night..."
There is no doubt that the other party was slightly dissatisfied because of being disturbed in the middle of the night. In addition to the instinctive inquiry, he also added a grumbling whisper. Chen Wen thought so. After all, some old-fashioned landline phones did not have caller ID, so grandpa did not know who the other party was. He thought Here, Chen Wen no longer hesitated and quickly put the phone to his ear and replied: "Grandpa, it's me, I'm Wenwen!"
After Chen Wen finished speaking, there was no immediate answer on the other end of the phone. It seemed that the old man was a little surprised to receive a call from his grandson in the middle of the night. However, surprise turned out to be surprise, and unexpected turned out to be unexpected. He confirmed that the other party was his most beloved grandson. Soon, the old man's voice came again. :
"Ah, it turns out it's Wenwen. I've been missing you a lot lately. I even dreamed of you when I went to bed a few days ago. Oh, by the way, why did you call grandpa in the middle of the night? Are you okay?"
"Uh... um, it's okay, Grandpa, I couldn't sleep tonight, and suddenly I missed you a little, so I took my dad's cell phone that he forgot in the living room and gave you a call."
"Haha, I miss grandpa. It's okay. Even though grandpa lives far away from you, can't you come to see grandpa during the holidays?"
The grandfather and grandson started chatting. During the chat, Chen Wen kept bringing the topic to relatives, intentionally or unintentionally. Sure enough, as the topic kept changing, Chen Wen took the opportunity to interject: "By the way, grandpa, you mentioned me. Auntie, I have a question I want to ask you."
"Just ask me anything."
After receiving the other party's consent, Chen Wen thought for a moment, and then asked in a slightly solemn tone:
"Grandpa, can you tell me something about my cousin?"
Obviously, in order to confirm a certain guess, and in addition to the recent frequent dreams, the young man is full of curiosity about the cousin Ye Wei who once gave him a ring. He has learned too little information from his parents. In this case, why not learn from others How about getting a clue?
So, with curiosity and expectation, Chen Wen asked his grandfather a question. He originally thought that the old man would answer casually like he had just chatted, and then tell him all the answers he wanted to know. Unexpectedly...
However, the other party did not answer the conversation casually as expected, but was silent for a while. After about seven or eight seconds, the old man asked over the phone as if he had not heard clearly:
"Wenwen, what are you talking about? Your cousin?"
The old man's words were full of suspicion, and Chen Wen instinctively thought that the other party was a little forgetful because of his age, so before the other party finished speaking, Chen Wen nodded and reminded: "Yes, yes, that's my man who is studying at a business university in other provinces." My cousin Ye Wei."
This time, even Chen Wen reminded him that even his grandson had directly said the other person's name, but the grandfather on the other end of the phone still fell into silence as before. It felt like the grandfather on the other end was raising his head to recall, and then stopped. Chen Wen was not in a hurry after guessing what he might be trying to think of. He just waited silently, waiting for the old man to remember.
The young man thought this, and it was indeed the case. In fact, when he heard the name of his cousin Ye Wei from his grandson, the old man raised his head and fell into a state of reminiscence. After all, he is getting older, and the old man's memory is indeed not as good as when he was young. .
For a while, both parties on the call fell into silence. The only difference was that one of them was waiting and the other was thinking about memories.
"cough."
After nearly a minute, finally, with a slight cough, grandpa's voice came again, or Chen Wen's long-curious question was about to be answered. However, who would have thought...
After coughing lightly, the other party said something that was beyond expectations, and even more suspicious, which directly caused Chen Wenru to fall into the ice cellar:
"Cousin? Ye Wei? I'm talking about Wenwen. Your aunt and your uncle do have a daughter, but she is younger than you. She is still in the first grade of junior high school. That is your cousin, you..."
"You don't have a cousin at all?"
Silence, silence, silence.
There was a hint of coldness in the air. The coldness entered the soles of the feet, then climbed up from the soles of the feet like lightning, swept through the whole body, and reached the top of the head. The frozen Chen Wenwen was able to eat a cold meal, and the shocked young man was stunned for a moment.
Finally, the cold sweat that had disappeared for a long time appeared again, and this time, the sweat was even greater than before!
"Hello? Hello? Wenwen? Wenwen, why don't you say anything?"
As mentioned above, after hearing this, Chen Wen couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his forehead. He held his cell phone and froze in place as if he had been cast a restraining spell. Until the old man asked on the other end of the phone, he suddenly came to his senses and swallowed After spitting, maybe he still thought that his grandfather had forgotten it because of his age, or maybe he still had a sense of luck. With the last trace of unwillingness, Chen Wen hurriedly asked: "Then, what is my cousin's name?"
After confirming that his grandson had finally replied, he heard that the other party persisted in asking. Although he wanted to answer the other party, the old man couldn't help but said in a slightly complaining tone before answering: "You kid, have you forgotten your cousin's name?" ? Even someone as old as me has not forgotten that you are so young..."
"Grandpa, tell me first, what is your cousin's name?"
"Uh, okay, your uncle's surname is not Ye, but Zhou, and your cousin's name is Zhou Zhenzhen."
After getting all the answers from his grandfather, and after the other party told the real answer that Chen Wen wanted to know, Chen Wen shook his body, then walked to the bed and sat down slowly. He fell into silence and did not speak for a long time.
"Hello? Wenwen, what's wrong with you?"
Noticing that there was no movement on the other end of the phone for a long time, the old man naturally asked worriedly.
Chen Wenze picked up the phone again and replied with a forced smile: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay, grandpa, um, I'm so sleepy now, I'm going to sleep."
"Hey, you kid, it turns out you're sleepy. You just scared me. Okay, Wenwen, you can go to sleep. I'm going back to sleep too."
After receiving a reply from his grandson, the old man felt relieved. After both parties agreed to return to his hometown during the holidays, Chen Wen hung up the phone.
Then……
Chen Wen stirred up a storm in his heart!
Yes, through the conversation he had with his grandfather just now, Chen Wen was 100% sure of that matter, and then came to the conclusion that an astonishing fact that even if you don't want to believe it, you must believe, is...
Not only was his memory tampered with, but his parents' memories were also tampered with!
Otherwise, why would his father and mother tell him that they have a cousin named Ye Wei in the first place?
In fact?
In fact, I don’t have a cousin at all!
Why do parents lie to themselves?
The answer is that there is no need to lie to yourself. Since there is no need for parents to lie to themselves, then the only answer is:
螞!
In addition to himself and all the students in Class 2, Grade 3, Qi also tampered with his parents and partially tampered with their memories.
but……
As the saying goes, there must be an omission in every hundred secrets, just as there are few fatal situations in the world. Even if the mysterious worm has the ability to tamper with human memory, it is fortunate that the other party only has the memory of Chen Wen and his relatives or acquaintances. The influence was not large. Perhaps it was due to lack of ability or lack of care. Even though it modified the memory of Chen Wen and his parents, it did not cause any harm to Chen Wen's relatives who were far away. Influence, and because of this, Chen Wenhui learned the truth from his grandfather.
What is the truth?
The truth is that Ye Wei does not exist, and Chen Wen has never had a cousin.
That's true, but if this happens, then...
So what happened to the ring on his hand?
Thinking of this, he lowered his head slightly and looked at his left hand, looking at the sapphire ring on his ring finger.
(Okay, since the ring thing can't be clarified, let's put it aside for now.)
Because he knew very well that only fools would do such things, and he really couldn't figure out the origin of the ring, he shook his head and suppressed this doubt for the time being. What's more, the biggest problem at the moment is not to trace the source of the ring, but to continue to confirm it. , confirming the second thing.
Right now……
Is he Chen Wen? ! !
Thinking of this, Chen Wen picked up the phone again, browsed the numbers and thought for a moment, and finally dialed his uncle's phone directly. The reason why he chose to call his uncle this time was also very simple. First of all, the other person lived with his grandfather. In a distant place, the other person’s profession is a teacher.
Beep...beep...beep...
As mentioned earlier, it is during the rest period in the middle of the night. It is conceivable that anyone would be unhappy if they got up and listened to the phone at this time. Many people were even unwilling to answer the phone. However, in order to confirm the suspicion in their hearts, it was also necessary to solve this problem as soon as possible. Although the phone was busy and the other party did not answer for a long time, Chen Wen still called repeatedly. Finally, after calling for the fourth time, after waiting for a while, the other end of the phone was finally answered. The first call came from the receiver. It was indeed a sleepy voice:
"Hello? Brother-in-law, what's going on? What's the matter with you calling me on my cell phone in the middle of the night? I have classes tomorrow." Yes, since the owner of this phone is Chen Wen's father, the other party's instinct is to make it easier after the call is connected. There was a mistake in identity. When Chen Wen saw this, he felt a little embarrassed and quickly corrected him: "Um, uncle, I am Wenwen."
When he heard that the person on the other end of the phone was not his brother-in-law but his nephew, sure enough, on the other end of the phone, his uncle's initially helpless voice suddenly changed 180 degrees, and suddenly turned into a stern one:
"What? Feifei? Why are you kid up late at night and typing on your dad's cell phone!? I have to go to work tomorrow, okay, okay, hang up the phone!"
"Wait! Wait a minute! I have something to do!"
"Can't we talk about it tomorrow? I'm so sleepy now."
"It's like this. I'm calling you this time to ask you a question. As long as you answer it, I will hang up immediately without disturbing your rest. If you hang up now..."
"Then I'll keep fighting!"
"Damn! You kid, you...what do you want me to say about you? Hey, okay, ask any questions you have, don't delay my sleep."
After confirming that the 'threat' was effective, Chen Wen, who had already made a plan in his mind, immediately asked, "Uncle, how is my academic performance?"
I didn't expect my nephew to ask such a weird and confusing question. After hearing this, the other party was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a puzzled tone: "Huh? Why do you ask this? What do you mean? Don't you know how your academic performance is? ?”
"Isn't it interesting? It's just a question. After you answer it, I will hang up the phone immediately and won't disturb your uncle."
Yes, Chen Wen's purpose is very clear. Since Qi has tampered with the memories of his parents, teachers and classmates that he has to interact with all day long, then he is destined to not get the real answers to some questions asked by the people around him. Based on this, after thinking about it , Chen Wen thought of Huishan City, which borders Zhenping City, and his uncle was a teacher in Huishan City. Perhaps, he could get the real answer from the other party!
Perhaps he was too sleepy to think too much, and his nephew kept urging him. Finally, the uncle on the other end of the phone stopped worrying about why the other party asked such a strange question, and then answered truthfully: "You guys have the nerve to ask me about you." How are your academic performance? Your academic performance has never been good since you were a child. You failed almost every exam in mathematics, English, history and other subjects. If I hadn't asked my old classmate who is the dean of the 21st Middle School to help you If you go through the back door, you probably won’t even be able to advance to high school! Moreover, you failed in most subjects in last year’s exam. I really don’t know what you will do in the future... You kid, hey, you are so miserable..."
"Well, let's do this for now. I won't disturb my uncle's rest. I'll hang up now."
Before his uncle's endless scolding on the phone ended, Chen Wen said hello and took the initiative to end the call and put the phone back on the table. Then the young man got up and walked to the bedroom window and took a deep breath.
As mentioned before, in Chen Wen's personal memory, and in the impression of his parents, teachers, classmates, and even everyone around him, Chen Wen's academic performance has always been at the upper level of the class. His academic performance can be said to be very good, although it is not outstanding. But it can be considered an excellent achievement.
However……
Just now, during the phone call just now, his uncle said that Chen Wen was a student with poor academic performance!
The contrast is too great!
so……
At this moment, Chen Wen understood, understood, and he could finally be completely sure...
I am not myself!
Chen Wen is not the real Chen Wen!
Now that he is sure that he is not Chen Wen, where is the real Chen Wen? And myself...
Who is it again?
No, I don’t know, I don’t know. Maybe the real Chen Wen is dead or has been transferred somewhere else. As for the reason why Chen Wen’s parents, classmates and acquaintances still treat him as the real Chen Wen In all likelihood, it is due to the interference of the monster, and it is because of the tampering of the memory that the monster still thinks that he is the real Chen Wen.
It sounds a bit convoluted, but it is true.
(Let’s not talk about where the real Chen Wen is? If all the above are true, then who am I, the person who bears the identity of Chen Wen?)
who I am?
Who am I? ?
How does a person react when he suddenly learns that he is not himself but someone else?
How would a person react when he suddenly learns that not only himself but also the people he knows around him have been instilled with false memories?
fear!
Unprecedented fear, the level of fear even exceeds death!
What could be more terrifying than this? Perhaps the most bizarre and terrifying thing in the world is this!
At this moment, staring at the night outside the window, Chen Wen became more and more afraid as he thought about it. Then, the young man turned around and moved, as if he wanted to go out and do something, but...
At this moment, just when the frightened Chen Wenzheng was about to leave the bedroom and plan to do something, sleepiness hit him.
A sudden and irresistible strong sleepiness suddenly hit the young man's brain!
Yes, the drowsiness came too suddenly and quickly, causing Chen Wen, who was still awake just now, to become unsteady and staggering. He retreated continuously until there was no way to retreat, until he retreated to the bedside, and then...
Plop.
Chen Wen fell on his back, lying flat on the bed and fell asleep on the spot.
At the same time, just when Chen Wen couldn't bear the sleepiness and quickly fell asleep, if he looked at the wall and the clock, he would find that the time displayed by the clock at this moment is:
It's two o'clock in the morning.
