MTL - I’m Flirting with a Man in the Supernatural World-Chapter 96 end
The mating event ended with Wei Huqiang taking the girl away.
Chu Huai and Jin Tianyi returned to the dormitory one step later, and heard the conversation in the dormitory.
Wei Hu's voice was a little hysterical: "You are really my daughter, you have a memory on you!"
The girl was obviously frightened, and her voice trembled: "Impossible! You must have made a mistake! I don't know you at all!"
Wei Hu: "I won't admit it wrong, Xiaoyun, don't be nervous, it should be you who came to the city of memory before me, and then you can't sell your memory, so you forgot about me..."
The girl was silent for a while and said, with hesitation in her tone: "I... I don't know how long I've been here, I really forgot a lot of things, and maybe I really knew you before."
Wei Hu seemed to be crying: "I will remind you!"
Chu Huai paused, and said casually: "This is too coincidental, Wei Hu doesn't look like he made a mistake."
Jin Tianyi: "Maybe it's fate to reunite them who were separated?"
Chu Huai: "Do you think there is no problem?"
Jin Tianyi nodded.
…
Because Wei Hu said nothing to let the girl go, Chu Huai thought for a while and decided to move to Jin Tianyi's side by himself, giving them a chance to spend time alone.
Jin Tianyi was waiting outside, Xiaoyun went out, Chu Huai was about to leave after packing up, when Wei Hu stopped him.
One side of Chu Huai's brow slightly raised, showing a little doubt.
Wei Hu drooped his head, kept rubbing his hands together, and finally closed the door tightly, thinking twice: "If I don't want to leave..."
"I don't need an explanation, I understand," Chu Huai narrowed his eyes, "Xiaoyun has lost more than 50% of her memory, so she can only stay here forever. You want to be with her, so..."
Wei Hu nodded, staring out of the window with a dazed expression, and said for a long time: "Xiaoyun's mother left very early. She was rebellious since she was a child, and she didn't even kiss me. She invited a bunch of classmates out on her eighteenth birthday. But, don't want me to accompany her, and drink too much..."
Wei Hu looked sad.
"There was an accident, she was, was..."
Wei Hu couldn't continue for a long time, the words choked in his throat.
From Chu Huai's contact with Wei Hu at the handover party, we can probably guess what happened later.
"Gang rape," Wei Hu calmed down and said, "Xiao Yun couldn't accept the reality when she woke up. She was so hot-tempered that she actually... committed suicide."
"I also thought that Xiaoyun was dead, and I started to hate myself. If I stopped her that day, maybe that thing would not have happened...It was my negligence." Wei Hu paused, his eyes were slightly red, "I didn't expect her He even came here."
Chu Huai was full of doubts.
Xiaoyun is dead?
Although Chu Huai felt that he was going too far, he still asked, "During the autopsy, are you sure you saw Tianji...?"
Wei Hu was at a loss for a moment, then nodded firmly, and recalled: "At that time, I blamed myself even more because of the pattern on Xiaoyun's shoulder, and blamed myself for not even knowing when she went to get a tattoo."
Chu Huai felt that something was wrong, but couldn't say it for a while, and was silent for a moment: "How much memory did you sell?"
Wei Hu's face turned pale: "You are a friend worthy of making, I will not hide it from you, the current tax is... 34%."
Chu Huai's complexion was slightly cloudy.
Wei Hu: "I was destined not to leave this place. Now that Xiaoyun is by my side, I don't need to buy anything. Even so, after...forty days at most, I will be sentenced to fail the dungeon."
Chu Huai didn't speak, Wei Hu went to the window, lifted the pillow sheet, and quickly stuffed a black object into his sleeve.
Chu Huai didn't have time to see clearly, the next second, Wei Hu had already grabbed his hand and pushed the black thing into his hand.
Chu Huai was taken aback by the cold touch, but didn't show it on his face: "Where did you come from?"
Wei Hu finally smiled so much that he had passed five dungeons, and his tone was full of bitterness: "For them, they will be sentenced for a few years and then start again. After all, Xiaoyun committed suicide. What about me? Just such a daughter, I lost her forever, my life is like this, spent in frustration and remorse. Can money make up for the damage? Is it possible? I would like to ask why."
Chu Huai looked up at him: "So you killed them?"
Wei Hu smiled: "Yes, I waited for a long time, endured it, and opened the wooden barn to kill them until they were happily released from prison and embraced a new life."
"Xiaoyun was full of hope when she was 18 years old. She didn't like reading, but wanted to be an actress and wear gorgeous clothes. She wanted to be loved by many people, but her dreams and future were stifled in the cradle," Wei Hu laughed again, bringing With a sinister tone, "So I also want to kill their hopes, dreams and future."
"Am I scary?"
Chu Huai shook his head truthfully: "If most people have the ability, have such an opportunity, and at the same time have no attachments at the same time, they will take revenge with their own hands. That's why in ancient times there were many people who had to take care of their loved ones even if they didn't care about themselves. , you have no relatives, you are not afraid of getting involved, and you are not afraid of death."
Wei Hu gave him a deep look: "So you are the same person as me? Live for hatred?"
Chu Huai nodded hesitantly, then shook his head again: "Perhaps in the past, we broke the boat, regardless of all costs, even on the premise of self-destruction, lingering for a certain goal, not seeing the future, and never looking forward to the future."
Chu Huai smiled very frankly: "I used to think, if that goal is achieved, how should I live and why should I live."
Wei Hu was also at a loss: "After Xiaoyun's death, my only belief in life was to kill those bastards, so when the goal was accomplished, I prepared to commit suicide, and I entered the world of terror unexpectedly."
Chu Huai smiled: "I found the answer, the truth is quite vulgar, but you can really meet hope in life, even meet..."
Chu Huai turned his head and looked at Jin Tianyi who was still watching him even though he was outside.
meet love.
Before leaving, Wei Hu gave the wooden warehouse to Chu Huai: "You need it, I've made up my mind, and I won't leave."
Chu Huai was not hypocritical, and accepted it: "You have to be careful."
Wei Hu was taken aback.
Chu Huai dipped some water from the glass with his fingers, and drew the outline of a cloud on the table.
Wei Hu looked at the cloud, his pupils shrank.
Did Chu Huai tell him to beware of Xiaoyun? No, it's impossible.
Chu Huai didn't say anything more.
Wei Hu watched him leave with a dignified figure and a handsome appearance, and the last words Chu Huai said echoed in his mind: "I am no longer satisfied with looking for hope."
Wei Hu really wanted to ask what he wanted to do now, but felt that the answer would make him feel insignificant and incompetent, so he shut up.
…
Twenty-first day.
Chu Huai woke up early and had to pay taxes today.
He began to think back while drinking water, and found that there were many sticky and fuzzy places in his memory, and he was faintly alert. He only paid 10% so far, why did other memories start to fade away?
From the first day he entered the City of Memory, Chu Huai would check his memory whenever he had time. He has recently found that it takes him a long time to recall many details.
Memory getting worse?
Chu Huai frowned deeply.
There was a knock on the door, and Chu Huai returned to his senses to open the door. Looking at the panic-stricken residents outside, he had an intuition that something bad had happened, and asked, "What's wrong?"
It was the calm and beautiful woman who spoke first: "We pay the tax first, and after paying the tax today, someone will be sentenced directly..."
The tall man interrupted impatiently: "The copy was declared a failure and was taken away to live in another place. Did you say that your 50% was wrong? Maybe the real value is 30% or 40%?"
"Yes, yes." The voices echoed one after another.
Chu Huai's face remained unchanged: "Why do you say that, is there any basis?"
A little man was pushed out.
"I'm the roommate of the person who was sentenced to fail the dungeon and was taken away. We have a good relationship. I asked him how much memory he sold. He added the tax payment this time, and it was only 32%. After you explained to us before, we I haven’t gone shopping anymore, after all his parents and wife are waiting for him to go back in the real world, he can’t do it knowing that selling 50% will kill him, so…”
Chu Huai nodded: "I see, did he say anything before he was taken away?"
Everyone looked at the little man.
"No," the man said with a bitter face, "I asked, but he didn't remember what he said, and couldn't remember what happened. I just can't believe that he even betrayed his memory in the city of memory, it's crazy gone."
When it came, the short man couldn't help but complain.
This is just crazy. Anyone who wants to get out of the city of memories will never sell the memories about the city of memories. He also doesn't understand how his roommate, who was originally fine, sober, and with clear goals, suddenly became so out of his mind.
"What's going on?" Someone was anxious, "According to what you said, I'm also 30%, so I'm not far from failure of the dungeon?"
As soon as these words came out, there were not a few people whose faces changed, and rustling voices came one after another.
The beautiful woman coughed lightly, and said, "There is another strange thing."
She pointed to a woman who looked silent beside her.
The woman smiled awkwardly: "Including this tax payment, I have already betrayed... 37%, more than that person, but I am safe and sound."
Chu Huai's eyes tightened, and he suddenly asked the short man, "Is there anything unusual about the man who announced his defeat recently?"
"Where do you mean?"
Thinking of Wei Hu, Chu Huai's mind flashed, and he asked tentatively, "Has he dated anyone recently? Except for your words."
The man tried his best to recall: "He's quite homely, he doesn't go out very much, it seems that for a few nights, he dated a pretty woman... to relieve his desire."
"But it's nothing, you love me, and you don't sell your memory... After all, the city of memory is so boring." The man didn't think so.
Chu Huai's eyes darkened slightly. After a long while, he raised his eyes, his expression was light: "If necessary?"
"What do you need?" Everyone trembled.
Chu Huai: "If that man is dating that woman, he needs to sell his memory."
Someone laughed: "Are you kidding me? He's not stupid, as for giving up hope of leaving here because of that **** thing that can be solved anyway?"
Everyone nodded one after another, looking at Chu Huai with suspicion and dissatisfaction.
They all came to see him with the mentality of looking for a savior and think tank, and they didn't expect him to say such unstandard words.
Jin Tianyi on the side glanced at his watch: "Go back and pay your taxes quickly, or it will be too late."
Chu Huai nodded, put on his coat, and hurriedly said to everyone: "What if he doesn't know?"
Someone didn't respond: "Don't know what?"
A few of them understood, and their complexions instantly turned pale.
What if the man who was sentenced to fail the dungeon didn't know that dating that beautiful woman requires memory consumption?
…
When we came to gate 428, the room was full of noise.
Chu Huai's intuition was not good, so he rushed in, and when he saw the blood on the wall, he stopped in his tracks.
On the wall painted like a dead man's face, the scarlet blood is dragging down the font due to gravity, and the content is still clearly visible "Tasker Wei Hu's copy failed."
how come…?
Obviously...
When the group of tax collectors saw the familiar Chu Huai coming back, one of them snorted coldly: "Oh, I thought you weren't coming back again, and I was about to use the radio to call you!"
The woman said softly: "Your roommate was sentenced to failure after paying taxes this time. We will take him away immediately. Do you have anything to say? Hurry up."
Chu Huai thanked him, walked to the bed, and patted Wei Hu on the shoulder. Wei Hu looked up at him, with deep bewilderment in his eyes.
"do we know each other?"
It turned out that he had forgotten himself again.
Chu Huai remained calm, turned to the woman and asked, "May I know what memory he betrayed this time?"
The woman didn't care about it, and replied happily: "His childhood."
Quietly, Chu Huai's pupils dilated.
"Since he doesn't know you anymore, don't talk nonsense, let's take him away quickly." The others behind were extremely impatient.
Chu Huai nodded obediently and was extremely cooperative.
Wei Hu was taken away just like that.
When they came back again, Chu Huai knew that it was time for him to pay the tax.
Woman: "What are you going to hand over this time? Actually, listen to my advice, if you still want to leave, don't hand over the memories about the present, the present memories are more useful..."
"Zhou Lan!" The companion stopped her, "You talk too much! We have no control over this, and we have no obligation! Just collect taxes properly!"
"Understood," the woman muttered, looking at Chu Huai who seemed a little lonely after Wei Hu left, she couldn't help but said softly, "I really suggest you hand over those painful memories."
Chu Huai nodded slightly in agreement, and everyone was surprised.
The man sneered: "I was impressed with you last time when I paid taxes. You were the only one who dared to be late. In the end, you refused to listen to persuasion and refused to hand over the painful memories of the past. Why did you change your position and agree now?"
"I've said it all, if you don't listen to good people, you will suffer a disadvantage in front of you. It's not too late for you to realize it now..."
Chu Huai was annoyed, so he couldn't help frowning, raised his eyes to interrupt him: "Who said I have to hand over painful memories from the past?"
Everyone was stunned, the man who was pushed back forgot even his anger.
The woman tentatively asked, "Then what... what do you mean?"
Chu Huai stood up, with his back straight, wearing a heavy overcoat and still looking thin, standing sparsely in a monotonous square inch, handsome and careless, with a faint expression on his sideways face, his sword edge slightly exposed, a Sometimes it's hard to move your eyes.
"I also hand over my childhood." His voice seemed a little ethereal, and he added, "Before the age of seven, a happy childhood."
The woman's complexion changed, and before her companion could react, she raised her voice to persuade: "Don't be stupid! Making happy memories will make you..."
"Zhou Lan! Enough is enough!" She was stopped, "If you talk too much, don't blame me for reporting to the higher authorities and removing you! Don't let your useless sympathy overflow! And look, this Does the portrait need your sympathy!"
When the woman heard the threat, she felt annoyed, but she still shrank her neck, stood there without speaking, and only gave Chu Huai a sorry look, hinting with her eyes that he should not do that.
Chu Huai smiled: "Thanks, I know all about it."
This remark sounded a bit willful in Zhou Lan's ears.
"What do you know!" She was a little anxious.
"I really know." Chu Huai's tone was as light as a cloud, but his eyes were as warm as water. "People who are in a low point are mostly made up of hatred and resentment towards villains, a great sense of responsibility to their families, and good memories. Those who go on will have splendid memories and hope for future generations, so people believe that everything will not continue to be bad."
"So I guess," Chu Huai paused, "I lost the memory of happiness, there is an empty piece there, I will connect with the pain of the next ten years, and then subconsciously fill the first seven years into a dark and damp place. look.
"As the previous memory is added or deleted, the subsequent memory should also change accordingly. It's like what I said now, I probably won't remember it after a while."
"Because of the assumption that I have never had warmth, I will slowly and unknowingly become gloomy and world-weary. It is easy to lose hope of life and be busy for the rest of my life. The most likely is...suicide or intentional injury."
A group of people stared blankly at Chu Huai, their hearts trembling. When he said it so clearly, everyone's scalps were inevitably numb.
After a while, someone swallowed: "Don't you know everything, then you still..."
Chu Huai smiled again: "Sorry to do it all over again, I was just assuming."
Everyone:?
"Anyway, I will definitely leave, so I will force you to meet." Chu Huai sat down again with great interest.
When he said that he "definitely will leave", no one showed the slightest sarcasm, and he seemed to have the power to make people believe that he would definitely leave.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded listening to him.
"Actually, I used to live on my hatred of ghosts and my pitifully beautiful childhood. I won't tell you why I hate ghosts. Anyway, if there is no such thing as ghosts, I actually think ghosts are barbaric. Lovely."
A memory-sucking imp slipped out of the man's coat at the front. It was lying on the outside pocket of the coat, and seemed to be listening.
"Little cutie." Chu Huai stopped and beckoned to it lazily.
Everyone: ...
Chu Huai continued: "Then, I don't hate these ghosts anymore, and it doesn't matter if I don't have a happy childhood, because I have a new hope of living."
"What...?" Everyone asked subconsciously following his words.
Chu Huai half-smiled, half-truthfully said: "Save the world."
Everyone: "..." They shouldn't have listened to him.
"Believe it or not," Chu Huai smiled, "And I have a boyfriend, do you have one? Isn't there often some small news, **** is depressed, and the boyfriend will never leave, help get out of the shadow..."
Everyone: "..."
Jin Tianyi, who had just arrived, laughed when he heard this.
Only when Chu Huai was not around would he admit it outright, almost showing off.
"Well, do whatever you want, as long as you're happy, hand it over quickly..."
Chu Huai nodded, extremely cooperative.
After handing it in, Zhou Lan couldn't help but said again: "If you really can't control your negative emotions, you should talk to more people, go out for a walk, and work hard to overcome it."
Chu Huai nodded obediently.
After the group of people collected their taxes and left, the false smile on Chu Huai's lips suddenly cooled down.
Fortunately, he still remembered what he said just now.
He only mentioned the disadvantages of losing happy memories just now, but what is hidden in it is... the greater disadvantages of losing painful memories.
Pain is sobering. To lose pain is to lose reflection, experience, growth, and belief.
The most important thing right now is Wei Hu's abnormal situation.
He had only been away for less than ten days. According to what Wei Hu said before, he sold more than 30% of his memory and paid the tax once every ten days. He could last at least forty more days. There will be no accidents for the time being, so I can leave with confidence. After all, Wei Hu has found Xiaoyun, so he will no longer sell his memories to buy false dreams just because he wants to numb himself.
However, in just a few days, Wei Hu had already lost 50% of his memory and was sentenced to fail the dungeon.
Chu Huai didn't believe that the old man would lie to him when he first entered the dungeon.
First of all, the old man has no position, and there is no conflict of interest between them. The conversation between the old man and him is more like a kind of exhortation and love from the elders to the younger ones.
Of course, it doesn't rule out that the old man's memory was modified by ghosts, so he was given wrong information without knowing it.
Except for this possibility, the probability of the old man's miscalculation is extremely low, after all, he has stayed in the City of Memory for more than 30 years.
Another anomaly of Wei Hu is that Wei Hu clearly lost his memory of Chu Huai when he was talking about his own childhood. Since he didn't betray him, why did this memory disappear?
This morning other residents came to him, 34% of the residents were sentenced to failure, and 37% of the residents were safe, Chu Huai faintly sensed the problem, and now with Wei Hu...
Wei Hu's Xiaoyun.
Also, the bed partner of that failed man.
Chu Huai smiled.
In the city of memories, there are thieves who steal memories.
This is the answer.
So who will steal his memory?
Chu Huai raised his eyes slightly, and there was a twinkle in his eyes. He quietly looked at Jin Tianyi outside the dormitory, who was lazily leaning against the wall and waiting for him. The smile on his mouth gradually cooled down. With insight and vigilance, he quietly touched a certain part of the coat.
There lay a cold wooden warehouse.
Seeing the tax payer leave, Jin Tianyi turned around and came in. The corners of Chu Huai's mouth raised again, his eyes sparkled, with unprecedented tenderness and kindness.
