Stepping into the cold black iron door again, the same wind penetrated my chest again.
The gloomy sky, the red-painted buildings more than ten meters high, and the students walking silently.
Li Huixi could feel that the fifth middle school in this world was more depressing than the one in her real world.
Entering the classroom, Lu Yi has been sitting on the podium for a long time. All the vacations she can apply for this year have been used up. No matter how bad her condition is, she must return to her post.
Seeing Li Huixi coming to class, Lu Yi's face filled with sorrow finally regained some color, but when he looked at Li Huixi, his eyes were a little dodgey, probably because he had dragged Li Huixi into the whirlpool of his chaotic life. middle.
The bell rang, and a little fat man ran into the classroom in a panic. The dean of students behind him came belatedly. He was the person who delivered the pep rally speech and was eventually killed by Li Huixi as a memory anchor.
Obviously those things have never happened in this world, and the director came here to investigate.
"This is the only one in the whole year group who is late. Teacher Lu, please take good care of your students."
After saying that, he kicked the little fat man into the classroom and left with a sullen face.
Although she had just transferred to another school, Li Huixi had greeted every classmate in the class. Li Huixi felt something was wrong, so she started talking to herself:
"Except for Lin Qing, who is known to have died at Lu Yi's house, the number of people in the class is complete."
"Then who is this little fat guy?"
"I don't know, I don't know him at all."
"Wait a minute...little fat guy?"
"Could it be that you think it's..."
Lu Yi's mental state was very depressed, so he didn't blame the little fat man much, but just said to him gently:
"Pang Xiaolong, get up early tomorrow."
Pang Xiaolong just nodded and ran back to his seat. Lu Yi's words confirmed Li Huixi's thoughts.
"In this world...he is not dead?"
"That certainly seems to be the case."
Li Huixi had no experience related to Pang Xiaolong, nor had she seen Lin Qing's memories related to him. She had only heard about him a few times from Lin Qing's mouth, and had a general understanding of his affairs. I just didn't expect that I would be a classmate with him in this world.
This little fat guy is a completely new character for Li Huixi.
"Maybe he can be a breakthrough."
"About the case of Lin Qing's tragic death?"
"Not surprisingly, he should also be good friends with Lin Qing in this world."
"That's right. Maybe he knows something. After all, Lin Qing has not become a memory anchor. His memory should still be there."
As soon as get out of class was over, Li Huixi stopped Pang Xiaolong in the corridor, pulled him aside, and said somewhat mysteriously:
"Lin Qing...do you have any impression?"
"What happened to Lin Qing? He has been missing for a long time and no one can contact him."
"Have you contacted him?"
"Yes, we are young, but just last Friday we suddenly lost contact."
Li Huixi stood aside and started to reason with her voice again:
"I went to Lu Yi's house on Tuesday, and Lin Qing would have died by Friday at the latest.
"Did you actually sleep for four days?"
"It's not like I slept for four days. Someone must have done something to me in the past few days. I can feel it."
"It's a pity that your memory was wiped."
After the inner dialogue ended, Li Huixi continued to question Pang Xiaolong:
"Lin Qing...is dead."
"Dead? Stop making trouble. This kind of joke is not funny."
"I don't have to joke with you."
Pang Xiaolong's originally smiling face suddenly turned serious. Obviously, he would not accept this reality.
Like most people who learned that their friend had passed away, Pang Xiaolong confirmed it again. After getting confirmation from Li Huixi again, his tears flowed out uncontrollably.
"How did he die?"
"Hit with a blunt object, the whole face was smashed. Without a DNA test, we have no idea who it is."
"Woooooooo..."
Pang Xiaolong covered his face and cried. Most fat people attach great importance to feelings. When he heard that his best friend died tragically like this, Pang Xiaolong cried uncontrollably.
"I said...can't you be more tactful..."
"I'm just stating the facts. He will have to face it sooner or later."
"Wouldn't it be better to let him slowly accept the truth?"
"It's not like you don't understand me. I don't want to take care of anyone's emotions."
Seeing that Pang Xiaolong was almost crying, Li Huixi didn't give him a chance to breathe and asked again:
"Did he explain anything when you last contacted him?"
At this moment, Pang Xiaolong was speechless. He just took out his mobile phone from his pocket and played the recording of the last phone call:
"Panglong, how long do you want, me and... they are already here."
"immediately."
In the recording, there was a noise like signal interference produced by an ancient TV broadcast, completely covering the names of people mentioned by Lin Qing during this period.
"Who was the other name he mentioned on the phone?"
"I...I don't remember."
"Don't remember? You knew where you were going on the phone, right?"
"Where...are you going? We seemed to have gone to see the latest movie together."
"Then what?"
"I don't remember the plot of the movie."
"Who asked you this? Where did you go after that?"
"I can't remember...really."
Looking at Pang Xiaolong's blank expression, Li Huixi could feel that he was not lying, but his memory had also disappeared.
"One of the people traveling with them became a memory anchor?"
"It seems so."
"Who do you think this person is who is made into a memory anchor?"
"At the same time, someone who is very close to Lin Qing and Pang Xiaolong...Linzi?"
"Ask me, if he has zero memory of Linzi, wouldn't it confirm our suspicion?"
Li Huixi patted Pang Xiaolong on the shoulder. Looking at Pang Xiaolong who was crying, her voice became slightly softer:
"What impression do you have of Linz?"
"Who is Linz?"
"Lin Qing's younger brother, don't you know?"
"Did Lin Qing have a younger brother..."
Li Huixi nodded helplessly, helpless because the clues stopped here again, but this was expected. Now at least she knew that the conjecture that the memory anchor point was Linzi was correct.
But everything ends here.
"No, there is still a chance."
"What other opportunities are there?"
"Your memory has also been erased. No matter when Linzi became the memory anchor, he was 100% involved in things related to you."
"Are you saying that he and Lin Qing appeared at Lu Yi's house at the same time?"
"That's right."
"Now as long as we find Linzi's bone spurs and restore your memory that was erased during this period, this matter will be basically over."
"To put it lightly, where can I find this bone spur?"
"Listen to the recording just now again."
Following the guidance of her heart, Li Huixi pressed the play button of Pang Xiaolong's cell phone recording again and listened to the previous recording again.
"Them? You... besides you and Lin Qing, who else was present that day?"
"I first went to see a movie with Lin Qing...and then my memory was already at home."
"Can't you remember any of the ones in the middle? Who are the others?"
"Can not remember……"
This time the clue was really broken.
Li Huixi waved her hand, Pang Xiaolong understood and trotted back to the classroom for class.
Looking at the director who was slowly walking out of the office not far away from the corridor, Li Huixi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and secretly spoke to her heart:
"Since in reality, he is the culprit who let thousands of people eat corpses, then in this world, might he also have some secrets that cannot be told."
"You mean, he is the one who killed Lin Qing and turned Linzi into a memory anchor?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
The director walked arrogantly and came to Li Huixi. The look in Li Huixi's eyes made people feel very uncomfortable. It was not a caring or stern look. On the contrary, it was very wretched.
