Yokohama Survival Guide

Chapter 35: A Theory of the Self

==============================

That night, Red Mushroom Bar.

You and Zhong Ye met again for a drink, this time you took the initiative to ask someone out.In the cold city of Yokohama, only this hearty young man with orange hair can bring you a little bit of warmth.

After listening to your rambling description, Chuya concluded with difficulty: "...So, you ended up like that?"

"That's right? I thought I was going to be watched by Police Officer Mingpiao for a while, but Ranbu-kun just said [this is good, keep going] and let me go? Fortunately, I made preparations for an assault !"

"Isn't this a good thing!"

"Oh, but they are remembered! I will kill that hooded man in the future, so this time I completely lost my wife and lost my army," you took the time to comment while stuffing the chicken nuggets into your mouth. Said, "Speaking of which, the restaurant you recommended in Zhongye is not bad, the chicken nuggets are smooth but not greasy, and the French fries are also crispy and delicious!"

"...Thank you, but I think the boss should look forward to your evaluation of the wine," looking across the mojito in your hand, Zhong Yuan. Alcohol lover. Zhong also was speechless, "Order fried chicken nuggets and Sparkling drink, J, are you a kid who hasn't grown up yet?"

"Well, don't take it too seriously, I'm paying the bill anyway!" You waved your hand perfunctorily, and picked up another chicken wing, "After listening to my complaints, it's your turn. You don't have any worries recently ? Come and listen, don't just let me complain."

Hearing this, Zhong Yuanzhong was also strangely silent.

'Hey?This reaction seems to be something! '

You pricked up your ears curiously, looking forward to the next content - but it was quite unexpected, Chuya, who was always upbeat, rarely woke up this time.After struggling for a while, the orange-haired man made up his mind:

"Actually, it's about people I know... Recently, I heard that someone I know has been sent to a rehabilitation facility. After asking my subordinates, they suggested that I visit them."

Chewing the chicken, you subconsciously asked: "Isn't this very good, is it possible that you are an annoying person, Chuya? That's why you don't want to go there?"

Hearing this, Chuya shook his head, he seemed very conflicted: "It's not that I hate it, and of course it's not that I like it... ah, ah, it's just a common old acquaintance." As he spoke, the young man downed a mouthful of spirits , the cup was put back on the table heavily, just like the master's main concern, "Actually, I don't know whether I should go there or not. Perhaps, the farther away they are, the more..."

You don't agree with his attitude of worrying about gains and losses. Think briefly, and you bluntly say: "Zhongye, your mood is the most important thing? Compared with considering gains and losses, the most important thing about whether to visit is whether you are willing to be with them. See you again?"

"……I have no idea."

The cobalt blue sky was filled with haze, and the orange sun dimmed.

"I don't know if they want to see me again."

Seeing this, you resolutely said: "Why don't you invite guests today."

"Huh? J, why did you change me all of a sudden?" As soon as the words came out, Chuya's attention was immediately diverted.On weekdays, this guy is often plucked by his colleagues and subordinates because of his bold style, but this time he didn't feel anything against him.However, your sudden change of attitude aroused his curiosity.

"Because in this way, your and my troubles can be solved together!" You changed to the position next to him, stopped the man's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Look, my trouble is that I haven't finished solving the entrustment, so the funds can't be in place. ; and your trouble is not knowing when to visit old friends in a rehab facility, right?"

"Well, indeed. But what does this have to do with my treat? Don't try to lie to me." Chuya raised his eyebrows, he was far from being drunk, how could such an irrelevant matter have any connection? !

"The relationship is so obvious! You pay and I contribute, you treat the guests, and I help you go to the rehabilitation facility, the best of both worlds!" You speak plausibly, as if the relationship between the two is inseparable, "Come on, please don't be embarrassed, Just entrust me directly! If it’s your treat, I’ll hurry up and order some more grilled food, these are not enough to eat!”

"...Go ahead, order it! It's all on my account, really, don't make a joke," Zhong also couldn't laugh or cry, he hammered your back with the opportunity, "Go quickly, you bastard...but I feel much better, thank you."

"It's not all a joke, is it? If necessary, it's okay to accompany you for a walk." Standing up hurriedly, before leaving the booth and rushing to the bar, you scratched your cheeks and tilted your head uncomfortably to explain, "Anyway, recently There are no other arrangements, Zhongye, you are not someone else, you can do as you like. This is a rare truth."

"Ah? Ah, that's right," Chuya's eyes widened under the dim light.The earlobes hidden behind the long orange hair seemed to be burning, and the man shyly looked away, "...Thank you."

"...So I want to order three people, no, is it okay to order skewers without anyone? Chuya~"

"—Really, hurry up and shut your mouth!"

……

All in all, here's why, today, you'll be waiting under your apartment on a rainy day!

Since the appointment that night, Zhongya Nakahara went back and thought about it for two and a half days. In the end, he chose to ask you to go to the rehabilitation facility with him on the weekend. There are two public rehabilitation centers in Yokohama City. Your goal is the one in the northern suburbs. that.Since this location is a certain distance from your apartment or the Hong Kong and black dormitory, in the end, the two of you made an appointment to meet downstairs in your apartment.At that time, Zhongyuan will be responsible for driving you to your destination.

'However, the rain is so heavy, can his locomotive really work? '

You glance at the dark sky and the furious raindrops, not quite sure.

'Why don't we just take a taxi?Ah, the service fee must be reimbursed by that guy! '

【Di-】

"Moxi Moxi? Is it Zhongye? It's raining a lot today. Do you want to consider hitting..."

"I'm down there, come out." Before you could persuade him, the other party said directly.

???

Confused, you hurried from the atrium to the gate.

I saw the handsome sapphire blue car shining bulingbuling light in the rain, and the orange-haired young man was smoking in the driver's seat.As if he didn't expect you to come over so soon, he was stunned for a moment, then he directly pinched the cigarette butt and pushed open the door on the other side.

Zhongyuanzhong also looks very different today.He didn't wear the most common British style three-piece suit, nor did he wear the casual rock style; quite abnormally, the man put on a purple shirt under a black slim suit, and the tie was loosely tied to half the height, A smell of yuppie, gentle scum.

"No way, Chuya?" You looked the orange-haired youth up and down curiously, "It's really a completely different style, is it a girl you want to meet today?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Seeing you staring straight in the face, your ears turned red with discomfort, "Two people, there are men and women! Besides, if it's a private meeting, why should I get along with you?" You!"

"That's right, but that's completely boring."

After a simple joke, the man drove to your destination.Driving all the way in the rain, even the atmosphere in the car became quiet.After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Chuya suddenly said, "...Speaking of which, you should know them too, J."

"Huh? I know him too?" You are puzzled, tilting your head curiously.

Recalling the long past, Chuya's eyes gradually became complicated: "At that time, your name was Darmstadt, and together with Lan Tang, you were in charge of the experimental subjects of Group A. When the children were sent over, it was you who supervised the registration of the experimenters. number."

"……yes?"

"Ah, and then those two idiots left Group A very soon." His tone was full of nostalgia, and Nakahara Nakahara pressed his right hand on the steering wheel tightly, "You probably took it together for half a month? Maybe even shorter."

You suddenly collected past information, but your mood is not bright: "...Sorry, I don't remember at all, Chuya. All, all."

Hearing this, Zhong was taken aback.

"...Actually, I am also hesitating whether I should continue to search for the news of the past." You smiled wryly and spread your hands, and the cocoons in your palms were densely packed with you, but you never knew all of them. A gift from the past, "If I really recall everything, will I still be [the current me]? Or, will there be a brand new [Dost]?"

Since the last time you felt fatal pain, your desire to explore the past has suddenly decreased a lot: the discrimination of self is a constant topic of philosophers.As the Paradox of Theseus says, when the planks of a ship are gradually replaced, how does one know that it is no longer what it was?Human beings are made up of every moment of the past, and if any part is missing, [I] is no longer [I]—so, can a person like you, who is almost cut off from the past, be counted as another individual?If so, will Daust of yesterday become 【Theseus】of today?

"As you like."

Faced with your self-talking rhetorical question, Nakahara Nakahara in the driver's seat also decisively gave an answer that was not an answer.

This is not a well-thought-out and profound thinking, nor is it a transposition expression after empathy to a certain extent;

In fact, the orange-haired youth's answer is closer to a brazen and blatant deception, and even the wording is not innovative enough to copy your persuasion.But even so, you still unknowingly stretched your brows.

Silently focusing on the road conditions in the rain, Chuya continued:

"If it's that mackerel, maybe it will talk about some weird self-theories? But in my opinion, human memory is not a kind of addition, it is a mixture of various possibilities with unclear meanings."【 Note [-]]

Saying so, the cobalt blue jewel flickered,

"So as early as countless uncertain accidents, you were already you, J."
