At the gate of the ICU at midnight, a young girl sat on a bench with her head lowered as if she was asleep.
On the floor in the corridor, lay a boy, as if dead.
Xiao Liu stood beside him, sweating profusely on his face, and his legs were weak.
He didn't explain anything all of a sudden, did he really want to scare him to death? If a nurse on duty came over now, wouldn't she think that she saw a murder scene? And he is the murderer!
After being dazed for a while, he walked over, picked up Nie Cheng, and put him on another bench. However, after putting the person in a flat lying position, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and touched Nie Cheng's jugular artery with trembling hands.
No ups and downs.
Dead, dead? !
Xiao Liu was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. After a while, he remembered something, crawled to the other side, and touched the side of Tang Xi's neck.
Also no ups and downs. The skin is slightly cool, although there is still heat, but the body temperature is significantly lower than normal.
"Gu, consultant? Don't scare me?" Xiao Liu was about to cry.
I am becoming more and more like a murderer. If someone finds out, I can't clean it up by jumping into the Yellow River!
After a while, his brain slowly recovered, remembering what Tang Xi had said before he fell down.
It's not dead, but it's a living soul, and I'll take you to see it.
What are you looking at? Could this be the legendary soul out of body? Maybe I can't say hello to him in advance!
Xiao Liu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, slowly got up, and called out cautiously: "That... is there someone, no, is there a ghost?"
A few seconds later, a white shadow flashed in front of my eyes, and a handsome man in ancient costume appeared with a fairy air.
"Wow~~~~~ Yes, yes, there are ghosts!" Xiao Liu screamed.
"Didn't you tell me to come out?" Yun Qi looked at him coldly with contempt on his face.
Tang Xi took Nie Chengli's soul and left Su Huang to guard Pang Zheng, and he naturally wanted to guard Tang Xi's body after Lihun. It's just that the policeman was too surprised.
"I, I, I... Yes, that... Is the consultant okay?" Xiao Liu swallowed and asked in a trembling voice.
Although I know that there are ghosts around the consultant, and I have seen enemies flying out of nowhere several times, but the sudden appearance of a ghost in front of the hospital in the middle of the night is still a bit scary!
"Watch it, I'll be back before dawn." Yun Qi explained and disappeared again.
"Oh." Xiao Liu's heart sank halfway, and after thinking about it, he went to lock the emergency exit doors on both sides of the corridor, lest someone come in and find that there are two "corpses" here that cannot be explained clearly. Then he sat down and waited, struggling tugging at his hair.
After hearing that Team Chu became the advisor's guardian, they lived under one roof.
Living with a group of ghosts every day, is Team Chu's nerves made of iron? ! !
On the other side, Tang Xi grabbed Nie Cheng and walked through the gate of the ICU to the hospital bed.
Chu Li lay quietly on the bed, breathing steadily. Although his face was pale, if he didn't look at the blood in the ventilator and the blood bag that was being pumped into the body through the tube, he didn't look like a person who just walked around the gate of hell. No wonder Doctors call it "the miracle of life".
"What are you going to do with me?" Nie Cheng asked in a panic.
"I told you, I'll take you to see the truth." Tang Xi replied.
"The truth? What do you think?" Nie Cheng was puzzled.
"People can lie and deceive people, but only memory can't be fake." Tang Xi said lightly, "Memory is too complicated and sophisticated. Methods such as hypnosis may change cognition, but they cannot perfectly weave a utterly flawless The world of flaws, as long as you have seen it, you will know."
"But, but what about the memory?" Nie Cheng was at a loss.
"Go in and have a look." Tang Xi grabbed his collar with one hand, and slapped a spell on himself. Suddenly, the two figures turned into streamers and penetrated into Chu Li's eyebrows.
"Ah~~~" The feeling of weightlessness made Nie Cheng couldn't help but let out a scream.
In the next moment, he only felt that the grip on his back collar loosened, and he fell face down on the ground with a "slap".
Blinking his eyes, he suddenly realized something was wrong - he should be in the hospital at night, but although the sun is not bright at the moment, it is definitely daytime, and the ground in front of him is rough, and he can feel the damp heat on his cheeks. The wind is definitely outside!
Slowly getting up, the scenery in front of me was even more shocking.
Simple yellow mud paths, low and dilapidated houses and villages, the architectural style is obviously not the country's rural areas, the sky is blue and clear, without pollution, under the burning sunset, the air is sultry with a hint of saltiness, and every household From the fishing net hanging at the door, it is easy to see that this is an offshore fishing village, but it is very poor.
"This is... where have we been?" Nie Cheng asked with concern.
Perhaps the strange experience stimulated him so much that he even withdrew his hostility, making him look like a really bewildered child.
"Here is Chu Li's memory." Tang Xi said lightly, "Feel carefully, every trace of wind, every grain of sand, and every detail here are clearly visible. Only when you have seen it with your own eyes and have a deep memory can you restore it so clearly. , if it has been tampered with, maybe I may not be able to notice it, but as long as I come here, I can see the incongruity of the world at a glance."
This is something that Xie Chang'an can't do. Modifying memory is not a panacea, it's just that 99.9% of ordinary people can't feel this subtle sense of disobedience. And the remaining 0.1% of people are geniuses who even doubt their own memory.
Nie Cheng is very smart and has a good understanding. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what she meant.
"Let's go." Tang Xi turned and walked towards the fishing village.
"How do you know where to go?" Nie Cheng asked after her.
"Here is Chu Li's memory. What he can remember is what he has seen, which means that others are nearby." Tang Xi said casually.
Nie Cheng moved his lips and swallowed the words again.
"Speak up when you have something to say, I'm not used to it." Tang Xi sneered.
"Why do you believe him?" Nie Cheng said unconvinced, "I've seen the news too. You've only known him for a year, how much do you know about him!"
"Little ghost... If you want to put it this way, you don't remember anything when Pang Zheng died, so you still believe him." Tang Xi retorted.
"What's the matter? Dad is always by my side, he is the best dad in the world!" Nie Cheng glared at him.
"Maybe." Tang Xi didn't argue with him.
A child is stubborn, and she decides what is what. She is not interested in explaining some big principles to straighten his thinking, so she might as well take him to see it.
The two walked into the fishing village, but saw no one along the way.
"Is there no one in this village?" Nie Cheng asked curiously.
"Yes." Tang Xi glanced at a passing room, and clearly saw a figure flashing past through the window.
She was very sure that if someone knocked on the door or pushed in at this moment, they would be greeted with a kitchen knife or even a gun the moment the door was opened.
According to experience, the people in this village will never be serious fishermen.
"Don't worry, it's not for us, it's just a memory." Tang Xi said again.
"You mean, no matter what we do, it won't affect the world?" Nie Cheng was startled.
"If you watch a movie, can you still change the plot?" Tang Xi sneered, "This is a holographic movie, not to mention changing the plot, people here can't see us at all. We are just spectators."
"..." Nie Cheng was speechless.
In fact, this truth can be understood when he thinks about it, but this world is too realistic, which made him forget it for a while.
"Here we come." Tang Xi stopped suddenly.
Nie Cheng hurriedly looked over, and saw a dozen people walking in from outside the village. Although the materials and styles were different, they were all dressed in black. The leader was a young man in his early twenties, and behind him were two men wearing sunglasses. Each of them carried a suitcase with a combination lock.
"He's not a good person at first glance..." Nie Cheng muttered to himself.
"Of course the drug trafficking organization doesn't look like a good person." Tang Xi pursed her lips, relying on the fact that she couldn't be seen by the people who came, and looked at the people who came towards her with great interest.
The young man was wearing a tight-fitting leather biker suit, with a holster on his belt, his hair was slightly long and almost covered his eyes, with a few streaks of wine red, and there was a golden ear cuff on his right ear, which looked wild and Sexy, wanton and flamboyant.
This is Chu Li, who she has never seen before.
"It's no wonder I've been undercover for so many years, it's really a real performance, I can't see the acting skills at all." Tang Xi said to himself.
Nie Cheng's eyes turned red when he saw Chu Li.
"What are you doing?" Tang Xi reached out and grabbed his collar, and said angrily, "Didn't I tell you? We can't affect the memory."
"Let go! Let go!" Nie Cheng didn't hear what she said at all, and struggled with bared teeth and claws.
Tang Xi gave a "tsk", shook his hand, and threw him over.
"Ah!" Nie Cheng's body drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and smashed hard on Chu Li.
However, the next moment, he was horrified to find that he passed through Chu Li without hindrance and fell to the ground.
The people behind obviously didn't see him and stepped on him.
"No!" Nie Cheng hugged his head tightly.
He hadn't felt the pain of being trampled for a long time, he hesitated to put down his arm, his expression twisted when he saw it.
But I saw those men in black stepping over him one by one—stepping over him literally, with their feet sunk into his body, what the hell kind of thing!
Although there was no pain at all, the feeling of watching myself being stepped on like mud was too indescribable.
Until the group walked away, he was still sitting on the ground in a daze, unable to get up.
"They said they couldn't touch it." Tang Xi walked over with a mocking expression on his face.
"..." Nie Cheng came back to his senses and gritted his teeth.
This woman is really annoying!
"Let's go." Tang Xi ignored him and followed Chu Li.
"Wait!" Nie Cheng angrily chased after him.
The group passed through most of the fishing village and circled a few times before stopping in front of a house that looked less poor and knocked on the door.
Two seconds later, when the door opened, what stretched out was a black muzzle.
Chu Li's expression remained unchanged, he grabbed the muzzle of the gun and forcibly lifted it to the sky.
"Boom!" A gunshot startled several crows into the air.
Chu Li grabbed the man's arm, pulled it hard, and threw it over his shoulder cleanly, handing over his gun.
"Brother Li is amazing!" Someone praised him.
Chu Li lifted his foot, stepped heavily on the man's chest, twirled the snatched gun around his fingertips, and pointed at his head: "Where is the man?"
"Bah!" The man obviously had a backbone, and he spat viciously, "Don't think..."
"Boom!"
One shot to the head.
"Brother Li, did you just kill him like this?" After a while, someone stammered and asked.
"For another one, there's always someone willing to say it." Chu Li's expression didn't change, he thrust the trophy into his waist majestically, kicked away the bloody and brain-spattered corpse, and strode into the room.
Nie Cheng next to him was silent for a long time, until everyone entered the room, finally turned around, grabbed Tang Xi's clothes and shook them desperately, his voice became hoarse: "He kills! He kills without blinking an eye! "
"Then what's the matter?" Tang Xi walked over slowly, glanced at the corpse, sneered, pulled Nie Cheng over, pointed at the corpse and said, "If you want to see it, you should see it clearly."
"Look, what do you see clearly?" Nie Cheng's face turned pale.
He dared to stab someone with a knife, but he was still an eleven-year-old child after all, and the headshot corpse was really too exciting.
"There are thick gun calluses on his hands, and the way he opened the door, it looks like he was a mercenary. He has at least dozens of lives in his hands." Tang Xi said calmly, "Look at his face, the wound on his arm Needle hole, he took | drugs, very serious, resulting in serious deterioration of skills, probably a cannon fodder."
"What do you want to say?" Nie Cheng interrupted with a hoarse voice.
"Perhaps he wanted to show that this person deserves to die?" Tang Xi shrugged.
She can vaguely understand Chu Li's psychology. It is impossible to gain the trust of the boss, climb to a high position, and keep his hands clean. The best goal he used to brush his achievements.
Just then, there were two more gunshots inside.
"Okay, let's go in." Tang Xi ignored him and walked into the house.
Nie Cheng glanced at the corpse again, and suddenly a gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a strong smell of blood. He suddenly realized, and trotted to keep up.
No one could be seen in the room, but there were two corpses of a man and a woman lying in the same room. The man was shot in the head, but the woman couldn't tell where the injury was.
"Ah!" Nie Cheng exclaimed and took two steps back.
Tang Xi squatted down and took a look, raising her eyebrows slightly.
The man's head is rotten, he must be dead, but the woman... Although weak, her chest is indeed moving, and the blood on her body seems to be from the man next to her, but she just fainted.
The floor of the room was lifted, revealing stone steps descending.
"Go down and have a look." Tang Xi waved.
Nie Cheng hesitated for a moment, then walked around the corpse.
The stone steps are not too long, about 20 or 30 steps. After turning a corner, there is a heavy iron gate at the end.
"Do you want to go in?" Nie Cheng swallowed, his face turning pale.
"Don't you want to see it?" Tang Xi grabbed him and walked through without opening the door.
The next moment, the deafening vagueness almost made the two of them faint.
A door away, behind it is an underground nightclub-like place.
The indistinct rhythm of the madness, the dancing crowd, the strong smell of alcohol, cigarettes, and women's perfume wafted through the air, all of which mixed into an indescribable smell.
"Why is there such a place underground in the fishing village!" Nie Cheng yelled, covering his ears.
"How do I know?" Tang Xi was speechless, and looked around, but it was really hard to find someone in this environment, and he couldn't see where Chu Li was for a while.
However, she guessed that Chu Li came to this place to make a deal, so it would definitely not be in a place like the dance floor, but there is a problem—
After thinking for a while, she grabbed Nie Cheng and went out through the door again, to the top.
Nie Cheng gasped for breath, and he couldn't help himself.
"What, it's too exciting?" Tang Xi laughed.
"No!" Nie Cheng pushed back stiffly, "Otherwise we'll go down again! I was too surprised just now and wasn't ready!"
"No need, we found the wrong one," Tang Xi said.
"Wrong search? What do you mean?" Nie Cheng was taken aback.
"What we want to see is the memory of Pang Zheng's death, but this timeline is obviously too early. Could it be that you want to watch movies for a few years? I'm afraid your body will rot when you go out." Tang Xi said.
"Then what should we do?" Nie Cheng asked in a daze.
"Go out and change the timeline." Tang Xi couldn't help but grab him and slapped a spell.
After the familiar feeling of weightlessness, Nie Cheng realized that he was back in the ICU ward, with the comatose Chu Li in front of him, and everything he experienced just now seemed like a dream.
However, the smell of blood was so real.
"Start again." Tang Xi said.
"I… "
This time, the place of entry was changed to an indoor one, which seemed to be a large meeting room. The first one sat an old man. Although he was nearly seventy years old, he was in good spirits. His eyes were squinted, shining with cold light, like a poisonous snake's vomit. When he glanced at it, he could even feel a dangerous stickiness on his skin.
Tang Xi saw Chu Li at first glance. He was separated by three or four people from the old man's seat. Compared with his companions who were generally in their 30s and 40s, Zhang Yang's young man was too young and unrestrained.
"Father!" Nie Cheng yelled.
Tang Xi turned her head and found Pang Zheng, but at that time he was still a human being, and there was a difference between his appearance and his appearance as a ghost.
Nie Cheng rushed over directly, but she didn't stop her. Anyway, a piece of memory is untouchable.
But... this timeline is not correct, it is still too early.
It's a little nerve-wracking.
"Father, I'm A Cheng! I..." Nie Cheng stretched out his hand a few times and passed it from Pang Zheng's body, and burst into tears.
"Let's go. That's not right either." Tang Xi grabbed him away impatiently.
"I don't!" Nie Cheng struggled desperately, "I won't leave! No, can you wait a while before leaving?"
"No." Tang Xi objected without hesitation, "You have left your body, if you don't return before dawn, I can't guarantee that there will be no sequelae."
"I don't care!" Nie Cheng roared.
"I care! My signboard can't be smashed!" After Tang Xi finished speaking, she took the person and slapped the spell directly.
"You..." Before Nie Cheng could swear, his eyes blurred and he came back again.
Looking at the familiar ICU ward, his legs softened and he sat on the ground in a daze.
"Do you want to continue?" Tang Xi asked.
"...Yes!" Nie Cheng gritted his teeth and got up.
Thus, Tang Xi carried Nie Cheng to experience a series of different memories.
Most of the time, what I saw was the scene of Chuli's undercover period. After all, that experience is his deepest memory and the easiest to enter.
And within the organization, there are gang fights and various dark transactions.
Tang Xi really couldn't believe that this would be the upright Chu Li who told her "I'm not an ordinary person, I'm a policeman".
Of course, it's not entirely a dark memory. She also saw the scene of Chu Li taking over the undercover mission in the Public Security University, and even going back further, there was also a scene of Jiangnan No. 1 High School.
In Chu Li's memory, Tang Xi saw Pei Qingzhi when he was a teenager.
Because of skipping a grade, Pei Qingzhi is obviously several years younger than her classmates. She looks as delicate and beautiful as a doll, and every time she walks by, she will cause girls to scream—not because she is shy and shy about Chu Li's blushing and heartbeat, but because she wants to touch her head and throw herself at him. Hey, dear mother fan, Tang Xi laughed so hard that her stomach cramped. If Nie Cheng didn't drag her back with a dark face, she wouldn't want to get out of this memory.
"You're not finished!" Back in the ICU ward, Nie Cheng yelled angrily.
"I didn't do it on purpose." Perhaps because of the smile, the coldness on her body weakened a lot, and Nie Cheng wasn't so afraid of her anymore.
"Can you do it?" Nie Cheng asked helplessly.
Even though he had a murderous intent at first, he was carried through his memory and forced into it with so many past events. He had long forgotten that his original purpose was to kill Chu Li, but his curiosity was aroused instead.
How did the once so sunny and righteous boy turn into the unmoved young man who shot his head
"Hmm..." Getting back to business, Tang Xi rubbed her chin, feeling a little distressed, "A human's memory bank is theoretically infinite, and it's really difficult to access a specific memory, but it's also worth trying so many times without success." It's normal, logically speaking, if he has something to do with Pang Zheng's death, considering his personality, this memory should be regarded as very important by him, why can't he get in."
Nie Cheng stared at her out of breath and said nothing.
"Okay, let me think about it." Tang Xi scratched her head.
If you can't get in, there is another possibility.
It is because it is too important, so it is locked and pressed in the deepest part of the memory bank. Even I am unwilling to open it, and naturally others cannot get in.
If you want to find the door of this memory, you must have a key. Simply put, it is to stimulate him to think of this memory.
key... key...
"Chu Li!" Tang Xi put both hands on the edge of the bed, leaned over, and said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember Pang Zheng? Pang, Zheng!"
Chu Li on the hospital bed did not move, and even the heart rate monitor did not fluctuate at all.
"No way." Tang Xi fell into deep thought, but soon remembered that in the first memory, his companion was called Chu Li "Brother Li", which meant that he didn't use his real name when he joined the organization, so it should be the same for Pang Zheng.
In terms of resume, Pang Zheng is just an ordinary policeman in Haishi. No matter whether he is studying, getting a job or promoting in Haishi, until he dies in the line of duty, everything is logical and there is no way to pick him.
So…
Tang Xi pursed her lips, leaned closer again, lowered her voice, and said in Chu Li's ear, "Do you remember who Lu Jing is?"
"Drip—" the monitor suddenly issued a piercing alarm.
At that moment, Chu Li's heart rate actually showed a flat line, but fortunately it returned to normal after a second.
"Sure enough!" A smile appeared on Tang Xi's lips, and he said, "How did Lu Jing die?"
Chu Li seemed to be sensitive to the name even in his drowsiness, his eyebrows moved slightly, as if he wanted to wake up, but was dragged into the abyss by the weakness of anesthesia and blood loss, and he was still unable to open his eyes.
"Perfect!" Tang Xi stood up and grabbed Nie Cheng, "Get ready, now is the best opportunity!"
With a flash of light, the ward was empty again.
Outside the door, Su Huang stared covetously at the immobile Pang Zheng, and Yun Qi looked inside as if aware of it.
