Chapter 12 The Battle for Memory II
“D391…D391…”
Chen Xiao sat beside the bed and thought: "I must have experienced some things, and I'm experiencing them every day. But I forgot!"
He glanced at one corner of the sheet, where there were four marks of nails cut.
It has been here for at least four days, and Chen Xiao still has no progress in his understanding of his current situation.
Maybe there has been progress, but these progress is not in my memory.
He chewed the bread in his mouth, which was left over from his breakfast, and it was very soft and tasted great.
He mixed the bread and saliva thoroughly, and pressed it in his mouth with his tongue, making it a sticky and disgusting dough.
After that, Chen Xiao put his hand into his mouth, grabbed a small piece, and rubbed it with his fingers.
At the same time, he was still counting the time in his heart seconds.
It has been five hours since I woke up. During this period, I ate breakfast once and about half an hour ago, I ate another lunch. All the tableware and food were clean and the nutritional combination was complete. Obviously, the imprisonment life here is good, or in other words, people here do not want the "villain" to be unhealthy.
When he had just finished lunch, Chen Xiao wanted to try not to return the spoon. But then, he saw a bruise on his wrist, recalling the "bang dong sound" made by people outside knocking on the door with hard objects in the morning. Chen Xiao knew that he must have done this and paid the price for it.
He thought, swallowed the remaining bread into his stomach. He picked up another apple and started eating it.
"But why do I have to clear my memory once a day? This kind of black technology operation cannot be just a matter of just one wave, right?
That is to say, my memories must be cleared every day for some reason.
"So, what did I go through?" Chen Xiao shouted in his heart.
He looked at the "D391" on his forearm again.
This combination of letters and numbers with unknown meaning has been on the forearm for at least three or four days. It has been scratched over and over again, so that the skin has begun to turn red.
"Is this a password? Or a room number? It's not possible to speculate."
Chen Xiao stretched out his left hand again, and there was a small bunch of black things in the gap in his fingernails. He observed carefully in the morning and found that it was not soil, but dust. Something left behind after burning. He stayed in his fingernails for a long time and was already wet with sweat stains in his pores!
"It must be that I encountered something burnt after I went out..."
At this time, Chen Xiao had already eaten the apple. He stood up and placed the apple core in the corner. Although he didn't know why, he just woke up and saw that four apple cores had been placed side by side, so he simply put them on.
Now, Chen Xiao sorted out the information he saw when he woke up.
1. Every day after dinner, I will be taken out of this cell. Then I will experience some things. After that, I will fall asleep and be carried back here... When I woke up the next morning, the memory was cleared and stayed at the time of the orphanage that night.
2. "D391" is engraved on his left forearm. He doesn't know its meaning, but he can be inferred that he was sitting when this code, and his hands and feet were not tied at that time, otherwise he would have left a mark on purpose. However, there must be someone next to him looking at him, maybe a guard, but the greater possibility is a camera, and there should be a table in front of him, because in this way he can quietly carve the handwriting under the table.
3. There is dust from burning something in your fingernails, and there are signs of bitten on the inside of your lips.
It seems that from the time I woke up to being taken out, I had nothing to do except think about it and speculate on the information I left in bed. And since I left the door of this cell, it was a very critical period. I should try my best to collect information and leave it to myself who lost all my memory the next day...
Chen Xiao suddenly felt a little bored because he thought about these information that he had thought about many times over the past few days seemed to have a wonderful reaction similar to muscle memory.
For example, when he woke up, although he couldn't remember anything, he naturally felt that I had lost my memory. Or when he finished eating bread, he didn't have to think too much about it, and he knew that he would find one piece and set it aside for a while.
Moreover, this situation became more and more serious, so that after Chen Xiao found out that he had lost his memory, he did not have any excitement, but instead felt boring.
......
......
If you have books, you will be long, and if you don’t have books, you will be short.
Soon, it was time for supper. Although Chen Xiao had no clock, he could probably infer the time from his hunger level alone. The most important thing was that he kept counting seconds while he was idle.
Sure enough, footsteps came from outside the door, and then a supper was handed in through the small window.
Chen Xiao did not act like pretending to be a stomachache because he knew that it would definitely be useless and might have a counterproductive effect.
Bacon, potatoes, and boiled vegetables, just as Chen Xiao thought, this dinner was very good, and he also ate it carefully, waiting for the most critical moment of every day to arrive.
About 20 minutes later, footsteps came from outside the door. He knew that someone was coming to take him out because he usually delivered food alone, but now the footsteps belong to two people.
Chen Xiao calmly used his nails to draw a horizontal stroke on the four marks on the corner of the bed sheet...
"Open your eyes again, it will be 5 days." He murmured in a low voice.
"Ding Ding Ding..." A few sounds of electronic lock pressing the password, followed by a longer "drip" sound, which should be caused by the door card being swept through.
Immediately afterwards, the door opened and two guards in black explosion-proof suits walked in, just like the guards standing outside the orphanage that day, and they all wore helmets.
"Hi, get up!" One of the guards shook the baton in his hand and said to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao pretended to be confused and excited and asked, "Where is this? Who are you?"
He knew that this was useless and would not get any information, but he still worked hard to act because if he didn't act like this, he might be found to be abnormal.
Sure enough, Chen Xiao could feel his impatient expression through the guard's big helmet.
"Go out, from now on, I will knock out a tooth when you say something from now on. Do you understand?"
The guard said, and shook the baton in his hand.
"It's really concise, and it's irresistible!" Chen Xiao praised the big brother's approach very highly. He shut his mouth very cooperatively.
He looked very scared, got up obediently, walked out of the door step by step against the wall. During the process, he looked at the two guards with a frightened expression.
"Hurry up, boy, don't be too slow!" said the guard shaking the baton again.
Chen Xiao immediately accelerated his pace and walked out of the room door. As he passed by the edge of the door, he stuck the bread crumbs he had made with saliva to the inside of the door frame.
Because the door frame is against the wall, it is difficult to find this position unless you touch it with your hands.
And he also inferred from this small mark that he would be taken out of the room every day.
So at this moment, Chen Xiao walked out of his cell
Outside is a wide corridor, the whole is made of the same materials as in the cell, and there are also no windows or lights.
On both sides of the corridor, there are many identical doors, and there is a password lock next to the door. Each lock has a display screen showing a person's facial photo.
"Well... it seems that there are still many teenage mice." Chen Xiao thought to himself.
At this time, a guard behind him pushed him and signaled him to hurry up, and Chen Xiao had to speed up his intentional slowdown.
The corridors here are the same, with white walls and no decorations except those doors. If an ordinary person is wandering around here, he will basically get lost by just turning two turns.
Fortunately, there is a sign on each corner, but it contains unknown numbers. For example, Chen Xiao has turned two turns, marked with D-772 and F-1004 respectively.
Although I don’t know the meaning of these numbers, just think about it for a moment and you can contact the “D391” on Chen Xiao’s forearm!
"So, do these numbers represent rooms? But why does each number have a letter in front of it, and there is no order at all?" He was thinking, suddenly, a "squeak" sound similar to that of spraying insecticides came from the front.
Chen Xiao turned another corner under the push of two guards. Then he saw that the wall in front was different from the previous one, and it was black, as if it had been burned by something.
"Gray!" Chen Xiao knew almost nothing about it, and the gray in his nails was pulled from here.
At this time, a man in blue, similar to a cleaner's clothing, was holding a bottle of some sprayer and spraying wildly at the burned wall. It was obvious that he was very impatient.
The three of them walked in that direction.
"Hey, brother, haven't you finished it yet?" Guard A greeted the cleaner.
The cleaner put on a dying expression: "Stop talking, you know the D-416 fire, how can you clean it up so easily!"
Guard A smiled and said gloatingly: "I know what's going on..."
He stopped and didn't continue talking, obviously trying to keep it a secret.
But no one made a sound, and the scene was a bit awkward.
"Okay." He was a little disappointed and continued, "because the one I played for D-416 that day was rock music! Haha, who doesn't know that little guy only likes to listen to nursery rhymes!"
"What? Who did this? Who was the guy on duty that day?" The cleaner seemed very excited when he heard this.
"I'm going to check the duty schedule! I'm going to talk to him!" He yelled, pinching his fingers clattering.
At this time, another guard B spoke: "Okay, we have to leave!"
"Oh...well, I wish you a happy conversation!" Guard A waved at the cleaner, then pushed Chen Xiao and walked forward.
......
After a while.
Guard B turned around and confirmed that the cleaner would not hear it, and nagged. "You always have such a big mouth!"
"I know, but I can't control it. Hahaha. It's okay!" Guard A waved his hand and said that it was no big deal.
Guard B shrugged helplessly and turned another corner.
Chen Xiao clearly saw that the sign on the wall said "D-391"
......
Chapter completed!
