Chen Yun looked straight at Ma En, who was deep in thought. The table between them was filled with objects familiar to Ma En from the old days. Some of them she had found with great difficulty in the past few days, but most of them had been kept by her.
After a few minutes of silence, Ma En finally spoke:
"Still nothing comes to mind."
Chen Yun cleverly concealed his disappointment and said to his brother in a comforting tone:
"Don't worry, we still have a long time."
Ma En also nodded:
"It's okay, I actually already expected it."
In the past few days, they had tried all the methods they could think of, but they all failed to cause any waves. Except for Chen Yun, nothing caused any changes in his mood, let alone any memories.
But unlike what he told Chen Yun, he actually didn't expect the result to be like this.
Ma En originally thought that when he came back and met Chen Yun this time, he would definitely remember something. After all, he could feel something strange just when he was on the phone with his sister, and it was not without "touching the scene" in the past.
He once recalled the cause of his death in the office of his former attending doctor. Ma En did not think that Dr. Li's weight in his heart would be heavier than the things he had seen these days, and it was Chen Yun who found these things.
During this period, Ma En also deeply realized how much Chen Yun knew about his past self, but this also meant that what he came into contact with with her help was already the thing most likely to trigger his memories.
Although there must be some things in Chen Yun's past that he didn't understand, if these couldn't cause any emotional fluctuations, Ma En doubted whether those past things could really help him.
Could it be that I remembered Dr. Li's death in the office just because I happened to have better luck?
No, Mahn doesn't believe in coincidences.
You must know that his mind power is still increasing his resistance to memory erasure at this moment. Logically speaking, he was able to recall it at that time probably because of his gradually stronger resistance to memory erasure. It should be easier to remember it now. That's right.
The current situation reminds Ma En of another problem that he noticed not long ago - his memory of Seli is wrong. This is a memory problem. Maybe the purpose of the person who created him is to prevent him from retrieving his memory. ?
Even if the purpose of the person who created it was not this, it may be that this incident incidentally affected the process of retrieving his memory.
And if he thinks in a worse direction, the fact that he can't retrieve his memory makes the one with the lowest probability among his several guesses more likely. Maybe this is what the unmemorable person really left for him. Warning or retaliation.
The worst thing is that he can't do anything about it now. Even if the initiator of this thing is really the Unmemory One, he may have to pray that the other party will not retaliate against him.
Because if he could leave the Victor Convalescent Center, he would definitely find a way to kill himself.
At least Ma En, who thinks from his perspective, feels that he can definitely do it. Even if the unmemorable can only affect the memory of others, he can still use other abnormal entities to cause enough dissection AI.
Fortunately, he should be safe as long as he doesn't go back.
Because the note left by his past self also seemed to imply that the Unrememberable could not leave the sanatorium, or that even if he could leave, he would not really come after him. His past self felt that he would be safe as long as he escaped from there. .
All he has to do now is stay away from the sanatorium and the Confederate States.
That's all.
Although he couldn't remember anything, coming back to see Chen Yun was still of great help to him.
"It seems that we can only use that method." Chen Yun said with some helplessness, "I will start writing notes starting tomorrow and write down everything that happened when you and I got along."
In the past few days, she had told Ma En all the things that she thought were more meaningful, but these were just a few fragments of his life. They were far from being able to truly summarize Ma En's life, and it was impossible to tell clearly who he really was.
Ma En said:
"Mainly from before you were eighteen, right?"
She nodded:
"That's right. After that, I started to participate in the work of the church, and I also had to live in the dormitory arranged by the church. That period was the least time we spent together before you were hospitalized. In more than a year, we will live together. It's outside now.
"After that, although we didn't stay together all day long like we were when we were kids, at least we lived together. I know quite a bit about what you usually do. Unfortunately, you suffered from serious mental problems after that. "
Ma En said:
"Did I encounter anything worth talking about during that time?"
This period of time was also a blind spot that Chen Yun had specially bypassed in the past few days. Ma En wanted to try one last time to see if he could think of anything through this.
Chen Yun thought for a while and said:
"You stabilized immediately after being hospitalized and everything went smoothly after that.
"And soon the person in charge of you was replaced by Dr. Li, who was quite famous inside and outside the nursing home at that time. In the early days, I often went to the hospital to see you, but then the church arranged some work for me that I couldn't leave, and then I began to correspond frequently with Dr. Li."
She paused for a moment, but still kept a relatively natural look and asked:
"I heard that Dr. Li passed away not long before you were discharged from the hospital."
Ma En nodded and said:
"It was a tragic accident, but I had no memory at the time."
Chen Yun nodded slightly and recalled:
"He is a very responsible and good doctor, and he often discussed your matter with me in detail at that time. He said that after you were hospitalized, your condition continued to improve as you took medicine on time, and then you didn't have any symptoms for a long time. What special news."
Of course he would be a good and responsible doctor, because he must have given him enough money privately.
"A long time?" Marne asked.
Chen Yun said:
"Yes, but before you were discharged from the hospital, Dr. Li took the initiative to call me. He asked me some things about you, but they were not very important things, such as your previous hobbies and habits. He had asked this many times before.
"He told me at the time that he did this because you seemed to be showing signs of relapse. He said that you would mention people you couldn't see at all, just like in the past, and this time it was even worse than before.
"But then I never heard from him again. Maybe you were already on the verge of amnesia at that time."
Ma En nodded:
“Maybe so, but I don’t even remember.
"It seems these are of no use."
But this shouldn't be the reason why Dr. Li did what he did, because in fact, he didn't have any problems at all. What he told Chen Yun was probably to reassure her, so the purpose of the last conversation was definitely not to "treat the disease."
Judging from Dr. Li's notes, he may have wanted to do something unwise at that time.
Chen Yun stood up:
"I'll go see if there's anything that can help you remember."
She pushed the door open and walked out of the bedroom, and started rummaging in the living room.
Winter, winter, winter.
Someone knocked on the door.
He instinctively wanted to get up and rush out of the bedroom, but he restrained his urge.
The reason why Ma En wanted to run out was because he did not sense the presence of any soul outside. After the impulse faded, he realized who was outside. In this case, he did not reveal his anxiety.
"Hello, is this Ma En's home?" A familiar voice he had heard came from outside the door.
"Who are you?" Chen Yun, standing behind the door, asked doubtfully.
"Ah, you must be Miss Chen Yun." The man outside the door said enthusiastically, "I have worked with Mr. Ma En before..."
"I don't think that can be called colleagues." Ma En walked into the living room and looked at the shadow standing in front of Chen Yun.
Shadow smiled:
"But it was one of the few satisfying collaborations in my career. We each handled the matters at hand.
"Isn't it?"
Ma En said to him:
"Let's go inside and talk."
He said sideways.
Shadow greeted Chen Yun politely, and then walked towards the bedroom indicated by Ma En. When he reached Ma En, he paused in his steps. When he saw that Ma En was not going to lead the way, he continued Walked over.
He understood what Ma En meant.
Shadow pushed open the bedroom door and walked into a white living room.
Ma En also followed in under Chen Yun's gaze, and then closed the door smoothly.
He originally thought there would be Shadow's office behind the door, but inside it was actually a beautifully decorated living room, filled with various small furnishings that exuded a sense of life. The tables and chairs were not standard office supplies.
Obviously this is not a very private place.
Shadow sat on the sofa and began to play with the coffee table:
"Would you like tea?"
Ma En sat down opposite him:
"I thought you would be waiting for me there."
Shadow mentioned to him last time that he would find an opportunity to meet, but Ma En did not expect that he would come in person.
Shadow made tea for him:
"Actually, I didn't expect that I wanted to wait for a better opportunity before meeting you, and what I originally wanted to tell you is not clear now, and it is not the main topic we want to talk about today."
Ma En asked naturally:
"What did you want to do with me?"
Shadow has no intention of hiding anything about this:
"Didn't we deal with the Reality Warper and the Son of the Sun together?
"Actually, it wouldn't take that long to kill him, but I found some very interesting things in his mind. The sun god has an evil plan that can threaten federal rule.
"And in that battle, you proved that you could defeat a reality warper of the same level. If other people heard about this, they would have many explanations in their minds, such as that you actually only lost miserably, or Hong Yuan is actually very weak.
"But I was there, so I know exactly what a fight it was."
Ma En asked doubtfully:
"What does this have to do with me?"
What Ma En meant was why he wanted to get involved in federal matters.
Shadow said:
"Good question, I haven't thought of the answer to this question yet.
"Originally, I wanted to wait until I found the answer before coming to you, but before that I encountered some other troubles, and then I immediately thought of you. This thing is more suitable than what Taiyang and she are going to do. you."
The sun and her?
This reminded Ma En of the "two gods" mentioned in Shenxiao's prophecy, but he did not reveal that he cared about it.
"I will help you with this matter?" Ma En asked curiously.
Shadow said:
"I think it's possible, and I don't come empty-handed."
Ma En asked:
"What's up?"
He pushed the tea cup towards Ma En:
"We signed an armistice agreement, which is the prerequisite for everything.
“But I don’t need to tell you to imagine that there will definitely be a very small number of members of the Salvation Alliance who are unwilling to stop here. According to the contract we signed, the Federation has the right to use violence against them. I believe you can also understand that this is a necessary sacrifice for peace.
“But in my opinion, they are all poor people who were completely driven crazy by Shenxiao.
"So we don't actually plan to kill them. Yes, what we are going to do is different from what most people think. I was going to use gentle methods to make them give up resistance, and even if they would rather die than surrender, I will only temporarily imprison them. .
“I can do this.
"But now there are some differences within the federation on how to deal with your former colleagues. Some federal politicians want to catch them and use them as bargaining chips to blackmail Shenxiao into making new concessions. After all, we can't make new concessions to other people now. members of the Salvation League took action.
"And I'm asking you to stop them, I'm sure none of us want to see that happen."
Ma En's body leaned forward slightly:
"What's the real situation?"
Shadow blinked and then replied:
“There were other people meddling in my work and doing things that I thought were unwise.
"Actually, you may not understand it, but the purpose of killing so many people is not to completely control Shenxiao's body and mind. We just want to make her a little more loyal to the Federation than before.
"For example, let her not kill any high-ranking politicians, not do things that are detrimental to the federation, and properly deal with the enemies of the federation. Other than that, she is actually the same as before. As for why we only need to do that many……
"Of course it's because it's unrealistic to completely control her, and there are many complicated factors involved, but in fact this is enough for us. What we are doing now is actually to control the degree of restraint on her.
"Most people's demands are only as high as what I just said. But the problem is that the process of dealing with her will be bloody, and she will definitely become enemies with Shenxiao. Some politicians and capable people among them have gone too far than others, and even I can't even stand it.
"First Evolution"
“So they are worried that they will be retaliated by Shenxiao.
"That's why some people try to put heavier chains on her, because they're afraid the monster will claw at them when it gets out of the cage."
