An indescribable feeling of confusion rose from the bottom of my heart.
Just like waking up from sleep on a summer afternoon, the cool breeze blows, only to find that you have broken out in a cold sweat.
Lu Xin looked at the sketch, his heart was beating loudly and his eyes were slightly out of focus..
"Is that me?"
"..."
"..."
After a long time, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at Chen Jing, and saw that Chen Jing's eyes were also a little nervous.
She understood why Lu Xin looked at her and nodded slightly.
This is to assure Lu Xin that this sketch has done its best to restore the scene deep in the old man's memory.
There will be no deviation in understanding the picture due to problems with penmanship.
In other words, this is indeed a scene that once existed.
So, who is this?
In terms of time, the child he was holding hands with should be himself.
But from the looks of it, the adult holding the child is me, because he is exactly the same as himself now!!
Lu Xin's palm suddenly trembled slightly.
There was an unspeakable feeling of fear rising in my heart.
That was a strong fear that I had never felt before when my father restored his ultimate identity by his side.
He suddenly had strong doubts about his identity and everything about him.
"That's what our investigation found."
Chen Jing was silent for a while, then looked at Lu Xin carefully and whispered:
"This discovery is so amazing, so even if we can't explain it, we have to share the findings with you as soon as possible."
"In addition, after I obtained the investigation results, I have used my own method to question the old man, and from his memory, I repeatedly watched the entire process of what happened at that time, and used many methods to distinguish the authenticity."
"The two people at that time went to the building registration office just to register the old building."
"What is worthy of speculation is a short conversation at that time..."
"..."
As she spoke, she gently held Lu Xin's palm and motioned Lu Xin to look at her.
Lu Xin's eyes were slightly dull, and he raised his head to look into her eyes. Then he saw that Chen Jing's eyes were slightly red, as if a blurred color appeared in her eyes. At the same time, she spoke softly and began to retell a long-standing conversation.
There was a lot of noise in this conversation, which seemed to come from the chaotic crowd.
Chen Jing borrowed his own ability to make Lu Xin hear these words more clearly, trying his best to let him hear these sentences completely.
"Hello, I'm here to handle the check-in application for the old building behind Moon Platform Wu Street."
"Moon Platform? There are no houses there. Isn't it a stadium?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, please check again and it's already there."
"... Hmm!"
"It turns out it really does exist. The previous information was not entered. How many of you are moving in?"
"... a lot."
"Then the corresponding information, identity registration form, property tax form, Guard Department security certificate, have you brought them?"
"Haha, I'm sorry, I haven't done it yet."
"... If you don't get it done, why don't you come over here and make a fool of yourself?"
"But I have prepared something else. Take the piece of paper I signed and show it to your leaders. They will agree..."
"... Okay!"
"..."
"..."
Chen Jing bit by bit, unhurriedly, almost perfectly recited the entire conversation.
You can tell that he is a very polite person.
Really like myself.
No one can remember the conversation that took place through the window in the chaotic workplace more than ten years ago.
But this does not mean that the memory does not exist, it is just hidden deep in the memory.
Qinggang found this scene completely through the use of "memory" abilities.
Then Chen Jing, who had seen this memory before, repeated it to Lu Xin.
On the whole, these are two strange people who went to register for an old building that did not exist without any documents. Then, they just signed casually, so all the staff were very cooperative and helped them get it done. From then on, an old building appeared where Moon Platform, and Lu Xin has been living there until now.
"That's it overall."
Chen Jing slowly let go of Lu Xin's hand and whispered, "According to our observations, when you... these two people came to Qinggang to register and even pay the fee, the old building Moon Platform did not exist in the first place."
"At that location, it was just an abandoned stadium."
"This old building probably just appeared there overnight."
"But no one ever said anything strange about it or even noticed anything wrong with it."
"That in itself is unreasonable."
"The only explanation is that this old building itself has some kind of power."
"It can cause everyone who sees it to subconsciously ignore it and create the impression that it has always been here."
"In addition, the same was true for the registration at that time. It was too long ago and we found few clues, so we can only make inferences."
"What happened at that time was that these two people came to the house registration office and successfully registered with just one signature without providing any information. Everyone who saw the signature gave the green light."
"In addition, we also discussed whether the memory of this old employee is true."
"The conclusion is that this memory should be true."
"Because unless there is deep pollution, the power of pollution will slowly fade away as time goes by."
"Perhaps this old employee also forgot about this matter at first."
"It was only as time passed that the power covering his memory gradually disappeared, and we found clues."
"..."
"..."
"Signature..."
Lu Xin suddenly became slightly nervous, quickly raised his head and said, "Is that signature still there?"
Chen Jing nodded silently, took a deep look at Lu Xin, then opened the second page in the folder and motioned to Lu Xin to take a look.
Lu Xin suddenly became slightly nervous. He lowered his head and saw a page of yellowed paper.
It was packed in a thin plastic bag and was already extremely fragile and damaged in many places, but the pen writing on it was still clear.
"Very unexpected."
Chen Jing said, "We went to track the signature immediately, but we didn't have any confidence at all."
"For a long time before, it was chaotic and poorly preserved."
"So much important information has been lost or damaged, let alone a page?"
"But I didn't expect that this piece of paper actually still exists. It is stored in the waste database of Satellite City No. 2."
"In the most conspicuous box."
"It seems that no one has touched it for more than ten years. Other data collection, placement, etc. have all avoided it intentionally or unintentionally."
"..."
"Simply..."
She paused for a moment before adding, "It's like it was put there on purpose, waiting for us to find it."
Lu Xin didn't listen carefully to the incredible things she said.
All his attention was attracted by the signature on this piece of paper.
"I need a home."
"——Lu Tianming."
"..."
"Lu Tianming..."
Lu Xin For a while, I felt my brain began to hurt again.
For a moment, he even thought, could this man be his father?
But as soon as he thought about it, he rejected the idea.
No.
That man, that man who looked exactly like his adult self and held his hand as a child, was definitely not his father.
Because it's not just a facial resemblance.
That kind of similarity has exceeded the limit that can be achieved between father and son.
Whether it was the expression in that sketch or the politeness in that conversation, one thing is certain...
... that is myself.
"Buzz buzz..."
It felt like bees were flying in his ears, and the thin sounds made his brain become a mess.
Lu Xin couldn't help raising his hand and patted his head twice.
Chen Jing, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly became very worried.
She raised her head slightly and found that the lights were still on, but she felt that her surroundings were getting darker and darker.
It seemed that everything in the room was gradually becoming blurry and losing its authenticity.
Hiss...
She suddenly felt a little panicked.
He was sitting opposite Lu Xin, with his left leg next to the table leg. The alloy table leg, which was originally hard and cold, seemed to turn into a soft and slippery snake at this moment, and you could even hear the fine friction sounds of the delicate scales as they swam gently.
She felt that the table leg had really turned into a snake, slowly brushing against her legs and swimming gently around them.
"This..."
Just when Chen Jing was so brave that he couldn't help but rush out of the room, Lu Xin suddenly spoke.
The moment he spoke, the lights in the room suddenly became normal, and the weird reptilian feeling disappeared.
Lu Xin slowly turned around and looked at her, with a bit of doubt in his expression. "Lu Tianming..."
"Do you have any impression of this person who looks like me and has this name?"
"..."
"Huh..."
Chen Jing breathed a long sigh of relief and looked down under the table.
Seeing that everything was normal, I calmed down a little, and felt that my shirt had been soaked with cold sweat.
After being startled for a moment, she raised her head and looked at Lu Xin.
Although he looked slightly confused, he still had a calm and calm look in his eyes.
This surprised her.
The individual soldiers seemed to be able to adjust their emotions faster than they thought.
This shows that the condition of individual soldiers is really getting better little by little, and their endurance is much stronger than before?
"No."
After a slight pause, Chen Jing shook his head slightly and said, "And we also asked Professor Bai immediately. He had studied at Research Institute for a long time, but he had never heard of this name. In addition, we had discussions and considered many possibilities, but what is certain is that this is not a time travel, and it should have nothing to do with some kind of logical paradox."
"Okay..."
Lu Xin slowly pinched his eyebrows and said to Chen Jing, "Can I keep this information?"
"Of course."
Chen Jing nodded, this was originally meant for Lu Xin.
It seemed that everything that needed to be said had been said, and in her heart, she was eager to leave.
However, she looked at Lu Xin who seemed a little depressed. After a while, she couldn't help but walked around the table, patted Lu Xin's shoulder gently, and comforted softly, "No matter what happened, you are our Level 7 Special Talent in Qinggang."
"When this investigation is over, come back soon."
"In an era like this, the thing that makes us feel most at ease is home."
"..."
Lu Xin was slightly surprised, looked up at Chen Jing, and then nodded slightly.
"I will."
"..."
"..."
After Chen Jing left, the east became faintly white.
The time to set off is almost here.
Lu Xin sat quietly for a long time, collected the document, and put it into his luggage.
The old security guard said that it was a generation of researchers who took him away.
So, no matter how weird and terrifying the question is, the answer can be found in them, right?
Lu Xin sat silently in the empty tent, a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Maybe, no matter how strange things are, there is a good side...
For example, when I spent an exorbitant amount of money to renovate an old building, I was worried that the owner of the household was not me and that the money was spent in vain.
Now you can rest assured that the head of the household is indeed you.
Or I should do it myself...
... The only uncertainty is that I don't know which one it is.
