Chapter 39: I just...have to go!!

　　Dr. Watts seemed a little taken aback: "These old men are getting crazier, aren't they?"

　　Later, Dr. Rosalind asked the maid for other information about the old man.

　　Although the maid had been here for two years, she still knew very little about Johnny. She told the two doctors that Johnny was a bit of a strange person who didn't usually talk much. His wife died two years ago, and other details were unclear.

　　The maid finally thought of something: "By the way, if you walk around this house, you may be able to find more information."

　　Dr. Rosalind asked, "Then who of us should go check the house?"

　　Lin Fan chose Dr. Watts and manipulated him to start exploring in this house.

　　When Dr. Watts came down the stairs, the piano became clear, and the two children sat side by side at the piano and played.

　　Dr. Watts talked to the two children, but he didn't expect to be made trouble. The two children said they would only help if they were brought a candy cane.

　　 bgm has become funny and mysterious, which fits the scene very well.

　　However, the candy cane was also easy to find. After Lin Fan found it, the two children finally spoke up.

　　"I know!" the little girl Sarah jumped for joy. "There's an interesting room in the basement."

　　Little boy Tommy said: "I hate that room, it's pretty weird."

　　Sarah said, "But you have to find the key to the basement first!"

　　"What the hell is in the basement?" Lin Fan was very curious.

　　After finding the key from the study, he finally entered this mysterious basement, fumbling to turn on the light, and was suddenly startled.

　　The light from the standing lamps is not very bright, and the basement is very dim. There were densely packed paper rabbits scattered on the floor and table, as well as a few cardboard boxes for sundries, and on a box at the door was an unremarkable black duck-like toy, which looked very strange.

　　Dr. Watts complained, "What an ugly creature."

　　Investigation revealed: a stuffed toy platypus.

　　Lin Fan wondered, "What's going on with these paper rabbits? What's the point of this platypus toy? I seem to have seen it several times in the promotional pictures."

　　Walking out of the basement, Dr. Watts also asked the children this question, and the children did not know why there were so many paper rabbits in Old Johnny's basement. But they provided a clue that there were also paper rabbits in the abandoned lighthouse, just off the cliffs in the back mountain.

　　The little girl Sarah said, "Are you going to take a look? I have the key!"

　　Dr. Watts complained: "Let me guess, the old man must not allow you to go there? It seems that you will be kept away from the locked room in the future!"

　　Before reaching the lighthouse, Dr. Watts noticed a stone tablet.

　　Lin Fan manipulated the doctor to investigate the stone tablet, which read: "In memory of Riva."

　　"Is this the old man's wife who passed away two years ago?" Lin Fan felt that his guesses were inseparable.

　　"Come on, the lighthouse is here!" the children urged.

　　On the top floor of the lighthouse, there were indeed paper rabbits scattered all over the place.

　　One of the yellow and blue paper rabbits, placed on a low stool, is very conspicuous.

　　Tommy: "Hey, we didn't have this when we came last week!"

　　Sarah: "Oh, yes, Johnny must have been here before he fell ill."

　　Dr. Watts: "Two colors, huh?"

　　Lin Fan pondered, "Why is the old man so fanatical about origami rabbits? Does the two-color paper rabbits have any special meaning?"

　　Just then, Dr. Watts' phone rang, and it was Rosalind.

　　Everything is ready for memory shuttle.

　　"I'm finally going to travel through memory. I hope that in the old man's memory, the suspense can be solved." Lin Fan was a little excited.

　　With the two doctors wearing their helmets,

The screen went dark, then suddenly turned white again.

　　The picture gradually took on color, and the two doctors showed their bodies. It was still the bedroom on the second floor, but the old man, the maid, and the doctor who treated the old man disappeared, and the light was much dimmed.

　　On top of that, the picture is a lot more noisy, sometimes blurry and sometimes sharp, looking like an old, old TV.

　　 bgm became weird, as if at dusk, the wind chimes were blown by the breeze in the empty room, which sounded a touch of sadness.

　　Dr. Rosalind: "That's the longest memory we can get."

　　Lin Fan muttered, "Why does it feel a little weird? Let's find Johnny next."

　　If Johnny is not in the house, guessed through the previous plot, he may be in the lighthouse.

　　When Lin Fan went downstairs, he surveyed the house by the way.

　　The score on the piano is called "To Riva", and the author is Johnny.

　　Dr. Watts complained: "What song is this? Why are two notes repeating back and forth..."

　　When we walked to the cliff, the old man was indeed there. He sat on the bench beside the lighthouse, staring at the sea, the rhythmic crashing of the waves echoed in the air, and the piano sound in the background echoed with the waves, gentle and soothing, with a hint of sadness. The maid stood aside, quietly waiting for the old man.

　　At first, the old man regarded them as tourists watching the scenery. After the two doctors introduced themselves, he realized that they were from the institution that fulfilled his wishes, and this place was already in his memory.

　　"...you're here to help me get to the moon, right?"

　　After getting a positive answer, the old man seemed a little lost and muttered to himself: "It seems that my luck is not bad."

　　He looked at the two doctors and asked one after another, "Can you do it? Can you take me to the moon?"

　　Dr. Watts asked, "Why do you want to go to the moon?"

　　The old man replied, "I don't know."

　　The two doctors were speechless for a moment.

　　"You have to tell us that this is our necessary help to get you there."

　　"To be famous? To get rich? There must be a motive."

　　Johnny: "I'm sorry, but I really don't know."

　　He paused, and his tone was firm: "I just...have to go."

　　Dr. Watts complained: "I'm sure, we took on a super troublesome mission."

　　Dr. Rosalind said, "Anyway, Johnny...we need to get into your childhood, but it's just too far away to be done in one memory trip. So, we'll do a step-by-step reverse jump. , through your memory."

　　Lin Fan was sorting through the plot dialogues while flipping through them.

　　It turns out that although this technology can modify memory, it must conform to certain rules to adapt memory, not just random editing.

　　The old man's wish was to go to the moon, so Dr. Rosalind decided to instill the ideal of being an astronaut in the old man's childhood. In this way, the memory of the old man will change from a small change to a huge change because of the butterfly effect, and virtualize the scene of himself becoming an astronaut and landing on the moon.

　　In addition to instilling the ideal of being an astronaut, it is also necessary to find out the motives of the old man's persistent desire to go to the moon, so that the instillation of the ideal will be more convincing and will not deviate into other results.

　　Also, when jumping in memory, an item that is important to the old man and impressed him is needed to go back to the previous memory fragment.

　　"Do you have some sort of memory fragment so we can begin?" Dr. Rosalind asked.

　　After thinking about it, the old man took out a blue and white paper rabbit and placed it on the ground.

　　It was the special paper rabbit I had seen in the lighthouse when I was looking for information earlier.
