escape from the world

Chapter 4 Memory

Fang fell asleep, and felt someone walking in the room, moving very lightly, as if afraid of waking him up.

His mind was chaotic, he only knew that he couldn't open his eyes, he was afraid that the person would crawl and support him on the bedside and look at him, or look at him as soon as he opened his eyes.

The consciousness was drowsy, and soon fell asleep again.

After waking up in the morning and having breakfast, Fang Chen went out and found the elevator stopped on the sixth floor, so he simply pressed the elevator button and took the elevator downstairs.

The elevator stopped on the fourth floor, and there was a man inside, dressed like a college student. Fang Chen had no impression of this man, so he nodded his head to say hello, and the man smiled.

He stood side by side with the man and secretly glanced at the man several times.

Before getting out of the elevator, Fang Chen asked, "Excuse me... which floor do you live on?"

The man stopped, with a smile still on his face, as if he hadn't stopped since he saw Fang Chen, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The sixth floor."

"Ah." Fang Chen watched the man walk out of the corridor and disappeared into his field of vision, wondering why he had no memory of this man at all.

"Good morning." He was thinking, when a female voice suddenly broke in.

Fang Chen turned his head and saw Fan Yingying standing at the door of his house. He was probably used to it. He was not frightened. "Morning." He paused and asked again, "Do you have an impression of the residents on the sixth floor when you went out just now?" ?"

Fan Yingying thought for a while, then shook her head: "I'm... not very familiar with these people."

That's right, this girl usually doesn't have much contact with others.

"What's wrong?" Fan Yingying asked.

"It's nothing." Fang Chen shook his head, still having doubts in his heart.

Walking out of the corridor, Mrs. Wu was still sitting in the usual place. This time, there were no gossiping people around her, only Uncle Wu was sitting with her.

Seeing Fang Chen still warmly greeted Mrs. Wu, she turned her head and said to her wife, "Look at how energetic this young man is... Our son is not bad either."

Fang Chen had already walked a long way, and for some reason he could still hear the conversation between the two.

"You said that girl died and didn't leave anything behind. What should I do with that debt? Who will pay it?"

"That's not a good thing for your son to do! What kind of usury to borrow..."

"Okay, okay! What belongs to your son and my son? Isn't that your son?!"

Fang Chen quickened his pace, but the voice in his ears was getting louder and louder. He wanted to squat down and cover his ears, not wanting to hear a word... The couple was still arguing, and he walked quickly. Cold as a dead man.

When Fang Chen came home at noon, he ran into Gao Cheng. Fan Yingying didn't say hello to him this time, but stood by the door and watched the two enter the elevator.As the elevator door closed, Gao Cheng pissed off Fang Chen and winked: "Is that girl interested in you just now?"

Fang Chen didn't believe it at all: "How is it possible? I only talked to her a few words."

The elevator stopped on the third floor, Gao Cheng walked out of the elevator, Fang Chen remembered something and took a step forward and asked, "Do you have any impression of the residents on the sixth floor?"

Gao Cheng stopped, looked at the wall with his mouth open and thought for a few seconds: "Hey, don't tell me, I've known you guys since I went back and forth, and I'm really not familiar with you, it seems that I haven't met you many times. .”

"...Is that so." The elevator suddenly issued an alarm sound of "Didi", startling the two of them, and Fang Shen panicked for no reason, "That's okay, I'll go up first."

Fang Chen went home and closed the door.The house is still the same as before, Fang Chen's side face is reflected in the long mirror in the hallway, the black circles have become heavier and heavier due to frequent strange incidents recently, and the whole person is quite emaciated.

He leaned on the door and looked around, the feeling of disobedience became stronger... Is his house really like this?Yes, in his mind yes.But where did the impression come from, did you rent or buy a house?Fang Chen suddenly got stuck, and slowly slid down to sit on the ground.

His name is Fang Chen, his home is very close to the company, and he lives a three-point and one-line life every day.Friends, does he have any friends?In his memory, he had no close contact with anyone.How old is he, in his twenties, is he 25 or 26, can you be more specific.Fang Chen took out his mobile phone in a panic, and opened the address book - blank.

He felt he should remember at least one person's number, and he should.

He fiddled with the keys until he realized he couldn't remember anything.Turning his head to look at himself in the mirror, his eyes were red and bloodshot.His eyes were so sore that he closed them with tears streaming down his face.

He forgot something important, what he forgot...

Can't remember.

When it was time to go to work, Fang Chen went out as usual, the elevator went down from the tenth floor, his eyes flickered, but he still didn't press the elevator.

He didn't have the slightest impression of the people above the sixth floor. If he pressed the elevator and there was someone he had never seen standing inside, he didn't know if he would collapse.

The door on the left of the third floor was open, the couple leaned against the door and whispered, Fang Chen walked over silently, stopped suddenly at the corner, and asked a strange question: "You...do you know my name?"

The man looked back with a strange expression: "Fang Chen." The woman was also looking at him quietly.

Fang Chen bent his fingers slightly, "Ah, um."

"What's wrong with you?" The woman asked him tentatively, "You don't look well."

Fang Chen forced a smile: "It's okay... I didn't have a good rest last night."

He remembered the names of the couple, the man was named Zhang Rui and the woman was named Wang Huiwen, but when the names were exchanged...he didn't remember.

The memory is vague and false, as if someone implanted a memory that does not belong to him... Fang Chen tried to recall his childhood, they were too vague, and then he smelled the smell of mud and blood in this vague memory, and his knee He was wiped bloody and gritty, and one hand carefully wiped the wound with an alcohol swab.

He tasted a little sweetness in his blood.

Someone patted on the shoulder, Fang Chen came back to his senses, turned around and saw Zhang Rui walking down with him.

"What's wrong? I'm out of my mind." With a cigarette in his mouth, Zhang Rui took out a lighter from his pocket.

"Well...do you remember where we first met?" Fang Chen asked.

The cigarette was lit, and there was a small "prickly" sound. Zhang Rui took a puff and spat it out, and said casually, "I don't remember that."

"Then how did you know my name?"

Zhang Rui was taken aback, took the cigarette out of his mouth, and pondered for a while: "I don't really remember, I just heard someone say it by accident, right? What's wrong?"

Fang Chen pursed his lower lip and asked the last question: "Do you know the residents on the sixth floor?"

As expected, Zhang Rui shook his head and said, "I don't think I've seen it before."

The two of them walked to the first floor, and Zhang Rui had to go down to drive on the lower floor.They parted at the entrance of the building. Fang Chen saw Fan Yingying sitting where Mrs. Wu often sat.

The girl is looking at him.

"...Good afternoon." Fang Chen hesitated to say hello.

"Good afternoon." The girl smiled.She looks peaceful, she should look better without bright lipstick, Fang Chen's eyes lingered on her deep red lips for a moment, purely curious, because it was the first time he saw Fan Yingying, she was only wearing ordinary half-sleeved shorts and no makeup ...

Wait, seeing Fan Yingying for the first time?He first had an impression of her in the early morning when he saw Mrs. Wu, Fan Yingying, and others after that... It seemed that his impressions of everyone started from that day.He thought he knew them, but did he actually?

What did he eat that morning?

no impression.Or he didn't eat at all, but subconsciously felt that he had left after breakfast.

Fang Chen felt chills all over his body, so he couldn't help but walked up to the girl and asked, "We met there a few days ago. I greeted you in the morning, but you didn't speak. Do you remember?" He pointed to the stone road.

"Yeah." Fan Yingying raised her head, as if to explain, "I didn't say anything on purpose, it's just..."

"Did you...have any impression of me before that?"

Fan Yingying blinked, looked at the stone road and at Fang Chen: "Not really...but I know your name."

Fang Chen asked: "Apart from that? Is there any more?"

Fan Yingying seemed to be trying to remember, her brows gradually frowned: "I'm sorry, I..."

Fang Chen's face was terrible, and the girl asked him timidly: "Did I say something wrong? Sorry, I don't have much contact with others, and I'm not good at talking..."

Fang Chen regained his composure, and quickly shook his head: "No, no...it's my own problem."

He turned his head and looked around the community. He knew that there was a pool straight ahead, and there were no fish in it. Going left was a park. There was a fountain in the middle of the park, which would spray water and play music at night... But had he really been there?In his memory, he went home every day after get off work, and never went anywhere else.Maybe it's been there before?But he couldn't remember the past.

It all started that day.
