Chapter 45: The Indelible Shadow.

  The attending physician and the maid were nervously guarding Johnny's bed.

  Suddenly, the color of the instrument's light changed, and an exclamation mark appeared on the doctor's head. He quickly took two steps forward and opened the gas tank.

  In a pure white memory space.

  The green light flickered, and there was a muffled sound, and the picture shook like an earthquake.

  Dr. Rosalind: "There's something moving... Hurry up! Send it again!"

  With a "beep", the memory world swayed again, and this time it swayed even more.

  Both doctors were a little unsteady, and the pixel villain looked dizzy: "What's going on?"

  The memory world was suddenly enveloped in a dangerous dark red light, and then came the sound of "——" similar to the burning of the circuit.

  Beside Johnny's bed, the electrocardiograph suddenly started beeping. The maid looked at the device and said nervously, "Doctor, something went wrong!"

  The doctor hurried over and stared at the display of the electrocardiograph: "His state has become unstable... The infusion volume must be readjusted."

  In the memory world, the two had a fierce dispute. If they don't quit immediately, the continuous memory shock may destroy everyone, but if they leave, all the previous efforts will be wasted, and Johnny has no chance to come again. .

  Neither of them was willing to give up, nor did they want the other to stay.

  Lin Fan was infected by this cruel and restless emotion, and was extremely worried: "Oh my God, it won't happen..."

  Fortunately, with the timely adjustment of the doctor outside, the electrocardiograph returned to calm, and the nervous bgm stopped abruptly. Lin Fan felt relieved when he mentioned his throat, and let out a sigh of relief.

  As the blood in the memory world faded, the two doctors looked at me, I looked at you, and stopped arguing: "Let's go...before this situation happens once."

  After activating Memento Football, they finally crossed the dark abyss and came to Johnny's dusty childhood memories.

  The main body of this fragment appears to be the house where Johnny lived as a child, with a car parked in front of the house and someone Johnny's mother was talking to by the car.

  The house is next to a road, and two doctors found the body of a small animal on the road: "Thanks to the sacrifice of this little guy."

  On the side of the road, you can see a Johnny playing football, a Johnny running, and a Johnny chatting with his friends. Dr. Watts complained: "Really, the time here must overlap! Look at how many of him there are, it's like a zoo."

  When Lin Fan wanted to walk along the road and continue his investigation, the camera switched to the house.

  Johnny's mom: "Gosh, what time is it... I have to go first! The grocery store will close early today!"

  The person she was chatting with: "Okay, be careful on the road, Martha. Say hello to the kids for me!" Then she turned and left.

  Johnny's mother opened the door, sat in, and the door closed with a thud.

  The two doctors seemed to sense something was wrong and began to speed back.

  On the side of the road, Johnny kicked the ball and crossed the road toward the house.

  The rhythm of the dull and oppressive electronic sound is faster, making people feel flustered and short of breath, and with the constantly switching and darkening of the lens, it is like the footsteps of death.

  Lin Fan was nervous and swallowed his saliva unconsciously, feeling that the plot was developing in a frightening direction.

  The lights came on, there was a muffled engine sound, and the car started to reverse, while on the other side, Johnny kicked the ball just right to the back of the car.

  In a moment of darkness, all sounds were silent, and the picture became a slow-motion shot of only black and white, slow enough to see the football rolling forward frame by frame, the car reversing like a turtle, and Johnny turned his face. Facing the rear of the car, I subconsciously took a half step back...

  The screen went completely dark,

In the darkness, only a dull crashing sound, a short and violent braking sound, a fluttering cloth bag falling to the ground, and a faint heartbeat, Lin Fan still had the feeling of his scalp exploding even though he had expected it. He watched the next episode nervously without blinking.

  Everything else in the memory world disappeared, dissolving in the darkness. The two doctors moved forward in the dark, the car and Johnny's fallen figure appeared before them.

  Johnny's mother got out of the car and knelt down in front of Johnny.

  Dr. Watts witnessed this scene and pondered: "It's so puzzling... If he lost consciousness, how could we possibly see this? In fact, it's surprising that he's still alive."

  Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, and then became puzzled: "Indeed, if Johnny is in a coma now, where did the scene in his memory after being hit by a car come from?"

  Dr. Rosalind said astonishingly: "In fact, he is not alive."

  Lin Fan was suddenly startled: "Johnny will die now? How is it possible, is it the memory of the ghost they are entering now?"

  Dr. Rosalind then explained: "Watz, do you remember that Johnny slept in a double bed?"

  Just when she finished saying this, a voice came from behind them, shouting: "Joey!"

  The other Johnny ran straight through the two doctors and ran to the knocked "Johnny": "Joey?? Can you hear that? Joey?? Mom, Why are you hitting Joey?"

  Lin Fan suddenly realized: "So Johnny has a twin brother! I remember that his mother called him Joey before? She might be trying to deceive herself that the other child is still there... At that time, the two The doctor analyzed that it was a nickname! There are some other clues that can also be matched..."

  Johnny saw the death of his twin brother Joey, and the "murderer" was still his mother, needless to say how much shadow it cast on him when he was young. It's also clear what happened after that, when Johnny took high doses of beta-blockers, blocking out the painful memories of his childhood.

  Dr. Watts asked an esoteric question: "If Johnny's mom thought he was Joey, what would Johnny do?"

  Dr. Rosalind was silent for a moment: "I don't like this memory. Let's move on."

  The memory jumps, and I don't know why it's a bit stuck. This memory is Johnny and Joey talking in the room, and Joey said that he must become a world-famous writer in the future, and also let Johnny and his mother live a rich life.

  Joey is full of optimism, confidence and cheerfulness.

  "It's a pity." Lin Fan said a thousand words, and finally turned into a sigh. He seemed to have a new understanding of life.

  The memory continued to jump, and this time it seemed to come to the end of the memory.

  It was late at night, the stars in the night sky were brilliant, the lights on the ground were brilliant, all kinds of stalls with brightly colored ceilings were selling all kinds of colorful food and small and exquisite handicrafts, and colorful balloons were hanging in every corner. To the pumpkin head scarecrow in a western-style vest.

  The lively voices and laughter came from the booth, and the bgm was also a joyful and brisk rhythm, full of festive atmosphere.
