Survivorship Bias

Chapter 128: memory reappearance

Views:

An Wujiu's appearance is not the type that can intimidate others, on the contrary, because it is so good-looking, it always draws people's imagination.

But his aura is too cold and serious, and his temper has become really serious, just a glance makes one's heart chill.

The man who made trouble was held tightly by his wrist, feeling as if he was caught by an iron clamp, and his bones ached. This is simply impossible to have the strength of human hands!

This person's hand must be a prosthetic body!

Even if you wear ordinary clothes, just by looking at this face and these arms, you will definitely not be an ordinary person.

The man thought to himself, if there was a real fight, he would not be the opponent of the man in front of him, not to mention that there was a tall man behind him, who didn't look good either.

"Let go of me." The troublemaker tugged at his arm, turned his head and said to the waiter who was diligently waiting by the side, "You said you will pay for the wine, but what about the wine? Just talking casually?!"

The waiter immediately apologized, "I'll bring it to you now." He turned around and quickly ran to the wine cabinet.

The troublemaker turned his head and looked at An Wujiu with displeasure in his eyes, "You still want to let go?"

An Wujiu's expression didn't change, and he didn't intend to let go, he just said coldly: "Apologize to her."

"You!" The other party was full of anger, but there was nowhere to vent, "Why do you apologize? She didn't listen to me. I paid the money, so she should listen to me!"

An Wujiu glanced at the girl, and saw that her arms were covered with scars, not completely bruised, it could be seen that they were all fresh.

"Listen to you?" An Wujiu took a step towards him, and the man took a step back, "Since you like to fight, why don't you try the feeling of being beaten and scolded? I can pay you back the injuries on her body right now." body."

Shen Ti, who has been watching the show, interjected just right at this time: "This man is skinny, what's the fun, it's better than the one from last night, stronger, you can see the texture of the muscles inside when you swipe your arms apart, it's better than this Skinny looks better."

When the other party heard his words, his back went cold, and many strange pictures appeared in his mind.

"Why are you shaking?" Shen Ti stared at the bastard in front of him with a pair of faint green eyes, and raised his eyebrows, "Don't be afraid, we are all good people, I'm just joking, you still take it seriously."

The harder An Wujiu's hand was, the opponent backed away again and again, the more Shen Ti said it was a joke, the more frightened he became, and his whole body collapsed.

This reminded him of the strange things reported in the news recently.

Could it be that there really is such a monster who likes to hunt...

"I apologize." The more the other party thought about it, the more afraid he became, but his attitude was still not very good. He turned his head and said "I'm sorry" rather perfunctorily, and kept struggling to break free after the matter was over.

An Wujiu was too lazy to entangle with him, so he let go of his hand and ran away without looking back.

The girl was also standing wobbly, as if she couldn't stand steadily, An Wujiu saw that she was about to faint, so she reached out to help her, but she dodged subconsciously.

At this moment, An Wujiu felt a little sad, not for himself, but for the girl in front of him.

He withdrew his hand and asked her in a very light tone, "Is he the one who injured your hand?"

The girl didn't nod or shake her head, she just stared at An Wujiu drowsily and didn't speak. Her eyes were out of focus, and although she was beautiful, she seemed like a piece of beautiful but broken porcelain.

Before waiting for an answer, An Wujiu asked softly again: "Then... what's your name?"

The girl was still dazed, and it seemed that it was the sequelae caused by the "brainwashing" that the waiter said before.

"Her name is Lilith, guest, thank you."

It was the waiter who had just gone to get the wine back. He had the wine in his hand, but the troublemaker had already left.

An Wujiu whispered "You're being polite", glanced at the silent girl, nodded slightly, turned and left with Shen Ti.

When going out, Lucy fell asleep on the old sofa in the cubicle by the door. An Wujiu was about to wake her up and ask her to do something for her, but the closed door suddenly opened, and it was Gabriel who came back.

He hugged left and right, with an e-cigarette in his mouth, his eyes widened when he saw the two of them, and they spoke vaguely with the cigarettes in their mouths, "Why are you leaving so early?"

An Wujiu immediately said: "We still have some things to deal with."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and took out his panel, transferred 10,000 holy coin points from his account, and transferred them to Gabriel.

Gabriel was stunned for a moment, "What is this for? I never asked you for a penny."

"No." An Wujiu explained to him, "Just now I was impulsive and rescued a girl from a troublemaker. I heard that she was bought by you, and she was a newcomer last night."

"Oh!" Gabriel was stunned, "You're talking about the batch of puppets that arrived last night, what, you want to buy her?"

An Wujiu shook his head, "The person she provoked is narrow-minded. After we leave, he may come back to take revenge on her. I'm afraid that today's attack will end up harming her, so I thought... can I pay you a sum of money? Fill in the expenses you paid for buying her, and then... let her go."

Gabriel understood what An Wujiu meant, on the one hand he felt that he was being too kind, on the other hand he felt that there was no need for him to do so.

"Did you know? Many people who eat this food, even if you really give them the so-called freedom, they will not be able to live without these gold-selling caves."

Of course An Wujiu understood it in his heart, but he still insisted on his own approach, "Give her a chance to be free at least, even if she chooses to come back later, or go to other places, at least leave here for a while, and try new things. way of life."

Gabriel knew he couldn't convince him, so he took a puff of cigarette and thought for a while, before finally agreeing.

"Okay, okay." He sighed, "But your money is nearly 120,000 US dollars, enough to buy four of her."

"It doesn't matter, just look at the bid."

"Let's do this." Gabriel returned the 5,000 holy coin points and only kept 5,000. "I don't do business at a loss. I just go out as much as I get in. The extra 2,500 points are reserved for her to see a doctor." How about healing?"

"How do you know she's injured?" An Wujiu asked.

Gabriel laughed, the smoke ring spit out in front of An Wujiu, and then scattered again.

"It's not a trivial matter for you to be so caring. I've been struggling for so many years, can I not see it?"

An Wujiu smiled slightly. When meeting Gabriel for the first time, he thought he was a local snake wandering around the red-light district, but after getting along with him several times, he found that this person actually has a clear distinction between good and evil, and is also very wise.

"Thanks."

Gabriel patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you, good man."

"Then I'll go first."

Gabriel wanted him to be safe, but for some reason, it just seemed to him that this was someone who couldn't fail at anything, as absurd as that idea was.

So he just said in the end: "I will continue to investigate your mother's matter, and come to me if you need anything."

"Thanks."

An Wujiu wanted to leave directly, but suddenly thought of something, "Gabriel, you said your sister is paralyzed in bed, waiting for the prosthetic body transplant in the second half of the year, has it been finalized?"

When he suddenly mentioned this matter, Gabriel felt strange, but he still said: "Not yet, it's just tentative. I have entrusted many acquaintances and former colleagues to find a way, but the spine is still an experiment. If the product is perfected and reaches the listing standards, my sister will have to lie on the bed for an unknown number of years."

Shen Ti interjected, "So it's a clinical trial?"

"Yes. This is the fastest way." Gabriel sighed, "Now they are recruiting clinical experimenters from all over the world, and I also tried to find a way to replace my sister."

No matter what An Wujiu thought, he felt that this project seemed to be the same as the bone replacement he had experienced.

"Is it... a metal inner spine?"

Gabriel frowned, "How do you know? Space metal, I heard from my former colleagues that this is the most cutting-edge technology, which can minimize rejection and stabilize metabolism."

Since it is at the forefront, why has he changed it

An Wujiu couldn't guarantee that he was the first test subject, but he was much earlier than those to be called.

Is this a new round

"What's wrong?" Gabriel felt that his expression was strange, as if something was on his mind.

An Wujiu shook his head, he understands the significance of this clinical trial to Gabriel, the opportunity is rare, if it succeeds, his sister will be able to stand up again, but An Wujiu still feels that it is not so simple.

After struggling, he still said to Gabriel, "After all, it is a matter related to the spine, so we should be more cautious. In case of accident, the loss outweighs the gain."

"I understand that," Gabriel smiled, "I have also worked with those people, and I know their abilities well, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people vying to be the test subjects."

An Wujiu nodded, "I know a friend who is a doctor who specializes in prosthetics. If necessary, I can also ask her for help."

"Okay." Gabriel readily agreed, and the lady beside him urged him hard, and he was a little impatient, "I know, I know, you go in first!"

"Let's go first too." An Wujiu nodded goodbye, turned around and left with Shen Ti.

The air in the street was a bit cloudy and gray, An Wujiu moved closer to Shen Ti, wanting to walk beside him.

Shen Ti was more straightforward, grabbed An Wujiu's hand and held it firmly.

"You are so quiet." An Wujiu said to him.

Shen Ti smiled, "I'm looking at you."

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Help people, save people." There was a smile in Shen Ti's voice, "Such a good person is mine, so of course I have to appreciate it."

An Wujiu's heart moved, and he deliberately said: "What if I'm not kind at all?"

"It's not like I haven't learned it before." Shen Ti raised the corner of his mouth, and said again, "If such a wicked person likes me, then I'm really not an ordinary person."

An Wujiu was amused by him, "No one can compare to you for messing around."

Shen Ti consciously told the truth, but also admitted the crime, and went to Yang Erci's house with An Wujiu. In the middle, out of curiosity, Shen Ti still asked: "Did you also think of your sister when you helped that Lilith?"

Ordinary people, if they knew about An Wujiu's younger sister, it would be difficult to ask such a question at such a time. This is seen as exposing scars.

But for An Wujiu, the person who asked the question was Shen Ti, so he felt that there was no malice and he would not feel uncomfortable.

"There is a reason for this." An Wujiu looked at the gray sky outside the window, flying around like flying insects, and slowed down his speech, "Especially when he was wearing a mask last night."

"But I saw her face today, she doesn't look like my sister." An Wujiu turned to look at Shen Ti, "She looked almost the same as me when she was a child, but she was a little shorter than me, and the corners of her eyes were more raised."

Shen Ti recalled the girl he met at the adult club just now, he couldn't remember the girl's appearance clearly, but what he was sure of was that she was indeed not like An Wujiu, otherwise he should have been impressed.

"What's your sister's name?"

This question actually made An Wujiu stunned, many strange and familiar images popped up in his mind instantly, it was his mother stuffing him and his younger sister into a car when he was a child, his younger sister's feet were burnt, Crying incessantly, crying heart-rendingly, my little self hugged her all the time.

But that car didn't drive for too long, and was hit hard by another car!

The picture in my mind was suddenly fragmented, as if they were kidnapped by someone and locked in a pure white square room.

Then…

An Wujiu tried hard to remember, but couldn't remember anything.

Shen Ti noticed that he was in a daze, and wanted to ask him what was wrong, but Yang Erci's apartment had already arrived.

"Let's go down first."

An Wujiu suddenly felt very cold and grabbed Shen Ti's hand.

"What's wrong?"

The unmanned cars on the street kept flowing, Shen Ti took An Wujiu away with his half arms, his intuition that seems to involve An Wujiu began to work again, he felt flustered, it was from An Wujiu.

"I... My memory seems to have recovered a bit, but it's completely different from my original memory." An Wujiu frowned, lowered his eyes, and fell into deep doubt.

Shen Ti raised his hand and smoothed his frown, "What is it?"

"My sister didn't run away from home after a quarrel." An Wujiu looked up at Shen Ti, "She was kidnapped, and she was forcibly taken away with me."

The sloppy look on Shen Ti's face disappeared in an instant, he held An Wujiu's hand, and continued to ask: "What about after that?"

Memory is fragmented.

An Wugui felt pain. He is obviously more pain-tolerant than anyone else, but now there is a huge pain in his heart, spreading to his limbs and bones like water stains, and the pain is getting worse and worse, making him almost unable to breathe.

Fragments kept pouring in, cutting An Wujiu's heart.

The scorching sun made him dizzy, under the daylight, in the gray mist-like air, An Wujiu had hallucinations.

He saw himself supporting his sister on his thin shoulders, trying to get her to the ventilation duct in the ceiling. She couldn't exert any strength on her burned foot and almost fell off, which almost made him cry out in fright.

His mind was full of his younger sister's last appearance. Instead of crying and calling him "brother" as before, she covered her mouth with her hand very obediently, her eyes filled with tears.

"I just know that I seem to be..." He raised his eyes suspiciously, looked at Shen Ti, and even struggled to speak, "I seemed to find a way to let her escape, but... I stayed inside by myself."

Why

Which one is the real memory.

Obviously my sister left home after arguing, it shouldn't be like this.

Shen Ti sympathized with An Wujiu's pain, but he didn't understand why An Wujiu was so heartbroken since he escaped.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

"How old were you then?"

An Wujiu's bloodless lips trembled a little, his eyes were confused like a child's.

"Shen Ti, she was only seven years old at that time."
