To be honest, the lights in the canteen are a bit dim. Even if you sit directly under the lights, it is difficult to see the face of the person sitting opposite.
But Jiang Qinian didn't think so.
He just felt that the lights above the canteen were like spotlights, focusing all the light on his face, making him want to escape.
It seemed as if everyone around him turned their attention to him and shouted accusations at him, but he couldn't hear clearly what those people were saying.
He only felt that there was an extremely noisy sound in his ears. The noisy sound was like maggots that penetrated everywhere, worming their way into his mind from his ears, and then rammed inside, eating away at Jiang Qinian's brain.
At this time, Jiang Qinian covered his ears in pain, trying to drive those voices out of his mind, but no matter how loud he screamed, it was of no avail.
His face was ferocious, his eyes were bloodshot, and the bloodshot eyes were like twisted snakes, almost coming out of his eyes!!
"Jiang Qinian!"
Suddenly, a call blasted in his ears. Jiang Qinian breathed in the air. In just a few seconds, the hospital gown he was wearing was already soaked, as if he had just come out of the water.
Just fish it out!
All the sounds around him disappeared. He raised his head, looked at Liu Yue who looked worried, and then asked in a hoarse voice:
"Liu...Liu Yue, what did you mean by those words you just said?"
"What words?"
Liu Yue was obviously a little confused. He looked at Jiang Qinian with a puzzled expression, and then asked tentatively:
"You...are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?
I just... I just asked you if the food tasted good to you. After all, this is the place and I don't know what you like to eat, so I ordered the same meal as me.
What? Is your condition getting worse again?"
Does the food taste good?
Jiang Qinian stared at Liu Yue like a hungry wolf, staring at Liu Yue with hair all over his body.
He looked at Liu Yue over and over again, trying to find something unreasonable in his expression.
But unfortunately...he found nothing.
Apart from worry and surprise, there was no unnecessary expression on Liu Yue's expression.
Did he hear wrongly?
But just now it was clear...
"No...it's nothing. There's nothing wrong with these meals. I just feel a little uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Liu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Qinian, on the other hand, ate the food on the plate mechanically, but without any appetite.
He felt that he was probably sick, but at the same time he felt that something was not normal about Liu Yue. Although Liu Yue could not see anything wrong in his behavior or facial expression, he always felt that this kind of normality was the greatest
abnormal.
For a moment, Jiang Qinian felt as if he had heard this sentence somewhere.
Han...key...door...
There were still many things he couldn't remember.
But he vaguely remembered that this key was used to open a certain door, and he could only walk out by opening this door.
Door?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look around and found that except for the door of the cafeteria, there was nothing that could be called a door.
There is only one door.
But the problem is, the door to the canteen is open...
Maybe this door... isn't a door in the conventional sense?
"My name is Jiang Qinian. I am eighteen years old this year. I am..."
Jiang Qinian was sorting out his information in his mind.
But soon, he discovered a place that frightened him.
He couldn't remember where he came from...
Apart from the name which didn't mean anything, the only thing he could remember was his age.
But just relying on this little information, he really
I can't deduce any useful clues now.
He could not remember any of his life experiences, the people he knew, or his hometown, as if someone had deliberately erased his resume.
It's like a blank slate with nothing on it.
Maybe...only by finding those forgotten things can he get out of here?
Liu Yue obviously couldn't believe it. Maybe he was the culprit of all this. His memory did not disappear directly, but was slowly erased by an invisible hand.
But since the first person he came into contact with was Liu Yue, he always remembered that Liu Yue was his classmate.
At the beginning, he did not doubt Liu Yue, but as time went by, he gradually realized that something was wrong.
Since those invisible hands can erase one's own memory, does that mean that the other party can change one's own memory?
After all, everything he was experiencing now was too unbelievable, so even if the culprit of all this was Liu Yue, he would not feel any surprise.
But even though he thought so, Jiang Qinian did not dare to show anything strange.
If he wanted to know everything that happened here, he would have to rely on Liu Yue.
There were people coming and going in the canteen of Nuoda, but Jiang Qinian not only did not feel any excitement, but also felt an extremely strong sense of alienation.
Yes, he doesn't belong here.
And the only way to escape is probably related to the key in your pocket.
Only when you find the right door can the key play its intended role.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian asked Liu Yue:
"Hmm...what, Liu Yue, do you know anyone named Han?"
"Your surname is Han?"
Hearing this, Liu Yue couldn't help but froze, then frowned and asked:
"Brother Nian, are you... are you having random thoughts again?"
"Um?"
Jiang Qinian's expression was also a little puzzled. He had imagined many kinds of Liu Yue's reactions, but he never expected that he would ask him in turn.
Random thoughts again? Why add "and"?
Could it be said that I often have random thoughts?
To be honest, when Jiang Qinian looked at Liu Yue in front of him, his thoughts kept surging. He felt as if he had fallen into a huge whirlpool and could not escape.
Next, nothing suspicious happened. Except for Jiang Qinian having a headache due to the previous experience, neither Liu Yue nor the other patients showed any abnormalities.
Lunch time ended quickly. After Jiang Qinian and Liu Yue put away the plates, he was the first to speak:
"Liu Yue, what should we do now?"
Hearing this, Liu Yue smiled and patted his shoulder, then turned around and said:
"Of course we're going back to the ward to rest, but a doctor will come to give us psychological counseling in the afternoon, so let's recuperate first.
Although it is said to be psychological counseling, the doctor will also secretly record our changes and psychological conditions while chatting with us, using this as a criterion for judging whether we can be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.
So if nothing happens, go back and rest quickly, and take good care of the psychological counseling that follows!"
But as he spoke, Liu Yue seemed to realize something. He slapped his forehead as if regretful, and then continued with an anxious expression:
"Ah...yes, I forgot that your condition has become serious again. What should I do?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Qinian also asked doubtfully:
"Um...are there any benefits to being discharged from hospital as soon as possible?"
"Of course there are no benefits, but the question is, isn't being able to be discharged from the hospital this morning the biggest benefit?
Let me ask you, Jiang Qinian, are you willing to be imprisoned in this cage for the rest of your life?"
When Liu Yue said this,
His expression was so solemn that Jiang Qinian became a little nervous. Looking at Liu Yue with a serious expression, he always felt that the other person was like a devout pilgrim.
Therefore, he also thought about Liu Yue's question seriously, and then nodded in response:
"I think...I think I am unwilling, but why do you say this hospital is...a prison?"
After saying that, Liu Yue seemed to laugh at himself.
"Oh, isn't it?
Qinian, what kind of behavior do you think...can be called imprisonment?"
"I'm not sure, this question is rather profound.
But if you ask me to say... then I think it is probably restricting personal freedom?"
Jiang Qinian thought his answer was correct, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Yue shook her head in disappointment.
"I don't think so."
"What is that?"
"Even if you imprison a person's body, you cannot imprison his mind.
Qinian, look at this hospital, the sun is everywhere here, it looks so warm, but when it shines on me, I can't feel the slightest bit of warmth.
Everything is good here, there is no danger, and there are no troubles and hardships in real life.
It's said to be a mental hospital, but it looks more like a Garden of Eden."
"Um...you mean...it's too unreal, right?"
"right."
Liu Yue let out a long sigh. He walked under the sunshine, and the sunshine touched his face very warmly, but the expression on his face was like a zombie.
"The ideal paradise is not my destination, the fireworks in the world are what people want.
We should move forward, pray for good luck, and not stop at the most painful place.
No one lives to atone for his sins. Although the road ahead is full of thorns, the more so, the more we should work hard to accomplish those things that we can never do, right?"
Jiang Qinian couldn't understand the meaning of Liu Yue's words. These words seemed to be very profound. Even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out the reason.
But he seemed to be able to understand the meaning of Liu Yue's words. He couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, but from Liu Yue's tone, he seemed to feel a little sadness and confusion.
This feeling made him very conflicted.
He felt that he was wrong, but what was wrong was that he doubted Liu Yue at the beginning, or was it something that he had forgotten?
I can't understand.
Jiang Qinian stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the warm sunshine.
The sun shone on his hands, but it gave him an extremely unreal feeling.
Did he forget it, or... was he unwilling to admit it?
