Memory refers to the cognitive process by which the brain encodes, stores, extracts and transmits information about objective things. It is also the process of human beings reviewing past experiences, and human emotions, behaviors, actions and even everything they do all come from memory. Once you lose your memory, then this person has lost everything and everything. If you can't remember anything or think of anything, then what's the point of living in the world? In other words, memory is the basis of all human behaviors and emotions. Only with memory can people be considered complete and can work and live normally.
I don’t know why, but since I entered the mission... no, it should be from the moment I came to the mental hospital, a strange feeling has been shrouding me. The feeling is inexplicable. If I have to use words to explain it, then It can be called the ultimate quiet before the rainstorm. Yes, this is the feeling. Although everything seems to be normal and calm here, there is always an oppressive sense of urgency behind the quiet. In this inexplicable feeling Under the pressure of this feeling, I gradually became nervous and scared, and even became restless even when no danger occurred. Could this be an early warning from my intuition? If this is the case, then how should I deal with it next? Should we passively defend and wait and see what happens, or take the initiative and risk our lives?
Regarding the explanation of memory, He Fei quickly analyzed it in his mind.
The key reason why He Fei is so concerned about and understands the memory problem is that he has experienced it personally. He remembers that when he first performed the captain's assessment mission, he was only the acting captain at that time, but his memory was cursed and tampered with after entering the mission. Although it was a curse that tampered with the memory, the ghosts at that time actually had the ability to influence memory to a certain extent. As a result, He Fei was in a state of uncertainty most of the time during the mission, and was not only unaware of the danger. , even he couldn't figure out who he was, but fortunately he still retained his excellent wisdom. In the end, with his wisdom and thinking analysis that surpassed ordinary people, He Fei solved the puzzle and completed the task, gaining the status of official captain. xь.
Of course, the above is just the past, and it doesn’t make much sense to talk about it now, but it is undeniable that if his above analysis is correct, and if Dr. Carl and other hospital staff are not ghosts in disguise, then it can be basically concluded that Dr. Carl and the security guards, etc. Why do staff have no memory of missing patients? The answer is:
This unknown ghost hidden in the hospital has a terrifying ability, the ability to modify or block human memory for a certain period of time! ! !
If not, then why did Dr. Carl and many security guards have no memory of the missing patient? It was as if these people had never had any memory of missing patients or even seen them.
(Damn, things are getting a little tricky...)
As I said before, sometimes when faced with complex problems, smart people tend to be more afraid than ordinary people. This just proves the old saying, that is, the more you know, the less courage you have. There is no doubt that He Fei A smart person, that's why he is afraid after deducing part of the truth. It is true that the reason for such fear is that he is too smart, but in fact it also accounts for a larger proportion, that is...
He, He Fei, had no way to resist the ghost's memory attack, and he didn't know how to deal with it next.
(I have some clues about the ghost. The ghost has already started to take action. So what should I do next? Also, through observation and verification, in addition to the ability to affect memory, this ghost seems to be able to make people People have lost their traces. After all, five living people disappeared inexplicably. What happened last night?)
"I suspect that old bastard Carl deliberately increased the voltage this time. This electrotherapy is much more painful than the previous two!"
At the dining table, He Fei was in a trance while eating his breakfast mechanically. The young man was struggling in fear and thinking in horror. Unfortunately, not everyone was like this, at least for Tom and Max, who were sitting opposite He Fei. This is the case. Although the two of them have normal memories like He Fei, and they did find that there were 5 fewer patients in the hospital due to He Fei's reminder before, they are more concerned about Karl's torture of them. They are still a little confused at the moment. His arms were numb, he swallowed the food in his mouth, and Tom, who hated Carl to the core, cursed in a low voice. If he hadn't been afraid of the patrolling security guards and the electric batons in the hands of these people, the bearded scumbag must have pulled it off long ago.
He yelled at the top of his lungs.
Coincidentally, seeing Tom's expression of resentment and cursing, Max, who was also tortured by electrotherapy, was no longer as timid and timid as before. He had surrendered and begged the other party at the beginning, but what he got in exchange was still the torture of electrotherapy that had never changed. , so the blond man looked away and figured it out, as a person living in the Gobi, since it is useless to beg for submission, and since he has to be tortured every day, why should he submit to submission? Instead of doing this, it would be better to see Cole scold him once, and at night pray to God to strike that old bastard to death with thunder. What if God appears?
"This old bastard is indeed nothing. I wish him the best. My mother was raped on Christmas night!"
While he was scolding as much as Tom, for a while, Max's eyes towards He Fei finally changed and became admiration, or admiration, because in his and Tom's personal impression, whenever When the electrotherapy was in progress, the young man in front of him, who was much younger than the two of them, could always resist with force. Even his screams were the smallest among the three, and his perseverance to endure the pain was obviously the strongest.
Having said that, when he saw He Fei's worried expression, he was stunned. Seemingly thinking of something, Max asked tentatively: "Hey, He Fei, what's going on with you? Why are you in a daze while eating again?" ? Could it be that... you are still thinking about those mentally ill people who were secretly released by the hospital last night? If this is the case, then you have really been tricked by the hospital. ".Ь.
What Max said was extremely certain, and Tom next to him also believed Max's words. As mentioned above, not long ago, Tom and Max also saw with their own eyes that the people in wards 1 to 5 were missing. When they woke up in the morning The sudden disappearance of the patient is a strange event, but it depends on who it is. For He Fei, the executor who is 100% convinced that there is a ghost, it is a strange event, but for Tom In the eyes of two American journalists who advocate science, Max and Max, they had already figured it out and found a reasonable explanation for themselves, that is, man-made, and the disappearance of the five patients was caused by man-made factors.
In their opinion, the disappearance of the patients last night must have been caused by the hospital. The hospital sent people to secretly release the patients in the middle of the night while everyone was sleeping. Although they did not understand the specific intention of the hospital to release the five patients. , but in the subconscious of Tom and his wife, they firmly believed in it.
As for Dr. Carr and all the security guards denying that no one is living in the ward? Haha, they are pretending to be similar, but do you really think the three of them are mentally ill?
So, based on this seemingly reasonable scientific thinking, Tom and Max were puzzled. They couldn't understand that such a simple question could make He Fei care about it for a long time. Is this kind of thing worth caring about? Even if I care, what does it have to do with them? So this is also the fundamental reason why Max questioned He Fei. .Ь.
"call!"
The two journalist colleagues who were arrested together looked at each other in confusion. He Fei, who was pulled back from his thoughts by Max's words, may have just analyzed so many clues, or maybe he was disrupted by Max. After clearing his thoughts, he first exhaled and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He Fei, who did not dare to tell the two of them the horrific truth, naturally knew what to do, so he forced a smile while shaking his head at the two of them and denying: "No. , No, actually I was thinking about how to destroy the electrotherapy machine."
Knowing that it was impossible for Tom and Max to believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and not wanting to waste energy on additional explanations, He Fei began to talk nonsense. He used his acting skills to change the subject. Unexpectedly, his casual lies immediately caused a stir. The two people in front of me are very interested! Especially when they heard "destroy the electrotherapy machine", the reporters and gentlemen who had been tortured to death by this machine for the past three days couldn't be said to care much. Yes, He Fei was right, as long as he could secretly destroy the machine that tortured him. Even if they cannot escape from the hospital, at least the three of them will not have to undergo electrotherapy every day until the machine is repaired or a new machine arrives. Currently, it is a cold and snowy road with road closures. Once the machine breaks down, theoretically, It can't be fixed quickly.
So, under He Fei's casual reminder, the two Toms suddenly became energetic, and then they started talking in low voices, discussing the possibility of breaking the machine. If possible, they would really dare to take the risk.
Time flies quickly, with breakfast
When the time came to an end, the patients returned to the ward on the fifth floor under the escort of the security guards as before. He Fei also left with everyone, but...
Just as other patients were walking into the stairs one after another and He Fei was about to step onto the stairs, for some reason, He Fei suddenly stood up nervously, then turned around without warning and looked around aimlessly, looking around with a solemn expression. He glanced back and forth, frequently looking at the patients around him. It wasn't until he was pushed by the security guard next to him and asked the young man to go upstairs quickly that He Fei frowned and turned away, finally stepping into the stairs.
Seeing this, some people may ask what happened to He Fei, why did he suddenly stand still and look around at everyone just now? The reason is simple, that's because...
He had a feeling, or a feeling that had appeared as early as yesterday during dinner, that he felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him, peeking out from a secret place and secretly watching his every move!
