Chapter 25

————Lisa————

I lay on the bed like a salted fish.

At least I am quite satisfied with my mental quality. Even though Jungkook dropped such a heavy bomb on me last night, I still fell asleep normally at 12 o'clock in the evening. When I woke up this morning, I felt much less afraid because my brain was blank, so the fear seemed to be far away from me.

what do I do?

Jungkook's words have been proven to be true, because when I looked at any calendar, record, including the original boat ticket, I found that I had been talking to myself all along.

Or do I have amnesia? Because now that I think about it carefully, the clearest memory is from when I woke up from a dream on the sofa a few days ago. Just like in the movie, some people are like fish, with only a short memory.

But I remember clearly everything that happened before I boarded that ship.

I scratched my head, which was a mess like a chicken coop. I didn't plan to go to the doctor, firstly because my symptoms were too bizarre, and secondly because I really hated being studied as an outlier.

I decided to call Jihyo first.

It took quite some time to explain my "symptoms" clearly. Jihyo was, after all, a calm and generous woman like me. She was silent for a while, then said, "I understand. I think this matter is still related to the ship you took and the places you visited. Didn't your amnesia start on the ship?"

I asked, "What does it matter?"

At this time, Jihyo fully demonstrated her determination as a science fiction writer and said calmly: "It's hard to say the specific reason. Let me give you the simplest example, the earth's magnetic field. Maybe you went to a place with an abnormal magnetic field, which caused your brain to be abnormal. The manifestation in Jungkook was amnesia for a few days at that time; and the manifestation in you was amnesia a year later."

I said, "Why is this happening?"

Jihyo: "I'm just giving an analogy. How do I know why this happened? But I tend to think that you must have encountered some supernatural reasons, some science fiction reasons." At this point, she could no longer hide her excitement and said, "Damn. I may finally get to witness the existence of the supernatural in my lifetime, and it happened to my gay friend. It's fucking awesome!"

Me: "...Strong fish!"

She: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't sympathize with you. It's an occupational disease, you know. In fact, I really don't sympathize with you... because I envy you!"

I snorted, and suddenly thought of another important question, so I asked, "Do you remember what happened between us this year?"

Jihyo said casually: "Remember, what can happen between us? Isn't it just eating and drinking, just like before?"

"oh."

Jihyo asked again: "Your illness probably won't be cured even if you go to the hospital. How about... I recommend a senior fellow who is an expert in quantum mechanics to you. Why don't you go talk to him?"

"No." Quantum mechanics gives me a headache when I hear it.

"So what are you going to do?"

I said, "Whether there are supernatural elements or not, whether we are encountering science fiction or fantasy, facts are facts. As a mystery novelist, I firmly believe that there is only one truth. It's not that there are no clues now. The breakthrough is that group of supernatural birds and that strange man. He also left me a letter: If you want to know what you lost. If I want to find him, I must first help the police solve this serial child kidnapping case."
