sleeping formula

It was rare for Gintoki to listen to Takasugi's words. He bought special priced strawberry milk at the supermarket and threw it in the microwave at home. In just one minute of heating the milk, his head was already able to slowly organize what he needed to do.First of all, he should go back to his hometown to see if there are any clues, and then check the records and household registration information of the Rolls Royce.Gintoki didn't forget to ask Yamazaki for information on the Hashida Group, but the former is more important in terms of priority.

Even though I live in Tokyo with my family, I insisted on moving out to my family as soon as I reached silver age. I lived in a dormitory when I was a student, and shared WG10 with others when I was studying in Germany.When I returned to Japan, my first job as an architect was in Osaka, so I also rented a house there.After returning to Tokyo, I still haven’t lived in a house, even though everyone is gone now, only the dust and cobwebs that have accumulated for many years are left.

The location of my hometown is only five minutes away from Waseda University.In retrospect, it’s also quite warm. In elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university, I rarely leave this circle in life. The neighbors nearby still remember Yinshi’s face to some extent, and some will smile and say hello, and those who are more familiar will chat with Yinshi Speaking of the recent situation, ask if you have a girlfriend.

Gintoki picked up the house key, and when he heard the "click──" sound of unlocking, he couldn't help feeling a sense of homelessness.Yinshi once thought that since his parents were gone and the house price in Tokyo was so high, maybe he should sell this house to someone else who needs it more.But this house is filled with too many childhood memories, how to play tricks on Katsura Kotaro, who has zero IQ, how to blow up Tatsuma Sakamoto whose hair is curly than him, how to cheat with video games to make bad friends treat themselves well A meal of sweets or drinks... It's all pictures that make people smile knowingly just thinking about them, and Gintoki is reluctant to part with them.

It was Gintoki's idea to keep everything as it was after clearing, but only he can decide the future of this house.Yinshi has absolute confidence in his own imagination. Through unconstrained imagination, he can reproduce how the warm and happy family here back then, how they quarreled at the dinner table, went back to the study to have a good communication, and then shook hands and made peace.Look, the first master bedroom on the second floor is the place where parents love each other. The photos of the two before their marriage are still placed on the bedside; facing the master bedroom is the guest room. In my impression, my father’s friend came from afar and lived here In the room, the snoring can be heard far away in Yinshi's room; yes, this is Yinshi's room again, and the bookshelves hanging on the wall were not textbooks, but a series of Jumps. The accumulated collection is fixed every week.

When Yinshi opened the next room, he couldn't remember what the function of this room was.The layout looks like it is an independent room like my own. Although the walls are mottled due to no one living there for a long time, the traces of hanging things on the top are still clearly visible. It was indeed lived in, and not for a short time.Yinshi does not remember any relatives who used to live in the house for a long time, which shows that this place is also part of Yinshi's blank memory.

As he explored more, Yinshi discovered that the extracted blank space was not just a simple fragment of a car accident.On the contrary, it seems that someone has been withdrawn from his mind alive and disappeared in his own memory without any participation.Yinshi walked out of the gate and locked it behind him, thinking about what was going on.

"Silver hour?"

After a while, Yinshi heard someone calling his name.Turning his head, he saw an elderly man with thinning hair.Yinshi remembered this person. He was Dad Waseda's most familiar colleague and his favorite neighbor Dad.

"Old father outside the source!"

"The kid who was so big before has grown so tall now!" Father Yuanwai smiled and patted Yinshi's shoulder. He used to pat his head, but now he can't.

"Really, Dad, do you still live around here?" Gintoki happily exchanged pleasantries.

"Yeah, the neighborhood is so good, who would be willing to move?" Yuan Wai's father deliberately glanced at Yinshi, which made Yinshi laugh out loud in embarrassment.

"I can't help it, I want to find a place closer to the work place, so as to give me some buffer space for being late!" Yin Shi said with a smile on his face.

"It's really the same kid who doesn't know how to improve, but I like that about you." Yuanwai's father laughed, "Would you like to come to my house for a while? I'll get you something along the way."

"If you don't worry about me having dinner with your old man later, I definitely agree with it!" Yinshi said, "I also want to see if the robots of Daddy Yuanwai have made any progress!"

"Of course! What do you think of Dad, brat!"

Dad's house is still the same as I remembered when I was a child, and I don't know why, so I feel at ease.Yinshi found that he was a person who was afraid of change, and it was nice to be as comfortable as possible and enjoy his small and mediocre life.Now Gintoki is even more suspicious of whether he has been under some kind of witchcraft when he quit his job as an architect and joined the Shinsengumi.

"Are you still an architect?" Dad made tea and poured a small cup for Yinshi.

"Resigned, now transferred to the public sector."

"Oh? That sounds pretty stable."

"In a certain way, it's stable...and in a certain way, it's not quite so." Gintoki scratched his head and smiled wryly, "Well, it's like a policeman, it's a stable job, but it's not very stable if you work hard."

What Yinshi didn't say was that he "worked his life in the dream", and chose to hide some plots that were almost like science fiction out of consideration at the moment of chatting.

"It's hard to imagine that you would choose such a job." Dad laughed, "It's really not like the Sakata Gintoki I know."

"I also feel that I am not like myself. It's too late to regret it now!" Yinshi said, "It's better to work hard for a year or two, so that people's resume will not be regarded as an "unstable person". "

"That's true." Yuanwai's father said, and suddenly asked again: "Have you got a family yet?"

Yinshi almost missed his father's face by taking a sip of tea.Although it was sudden, considering Yinshi's age, it was normal for others to ask.

"No! I'm so busy, where's the time?" Yinshi hurriedly waved his hand, "Being an architect wasn't so easy before, okay?"

"Tch, isn't it because Huaxin got dumped in the end?"

"Dad, since when did you have the evil taste of prying into privacy!" Yinshi laughed and shouted, "I told you it's because I'm too busy!"

"Okay, I won't bother you. So we're all alone now?"

"Almost. I don't have any other close relatives." Yinshi said, "If you really say close, those relatives are not as good as the neighbors around here. When I was young, no one in the neighborhood hit me. head?"

"Haha, you only know how naughty you were when you were a child. Only your parents and I have something to do with you." Yuanwai's father said, "That's right. After the car accident, there was very little news about your family. What happened afterwards? "

Father Yuan Wai is very good at asking unexpected questions, Yinshi should have gotten used to it by now, but he hasn't figured out how to explain this to Father Yuan Wai—he lost his memory about the car accident. memory.But the father is not a fuel-efficient lamp, seeing Yin Shi who is always cheerful and lively, frankly speaking, falters and haws, and faintly realizes that something is wrong.

"There's a reason I'm asking you this."

Yuan Wai's father got up and went to the locker in the corner of the living room, opened the third drawer and took out two letters.

"One was received at the beginning of the year, and the other was last week. There was an interval of three months, but they were all sent from the court." Yuanwai's father said, "I will always go to your house to check, and it took a long time to receive it. Here are these two letters. I didn’t open them to read, so I don’t know if there is any news about your brother.”

Yinshi's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes were wide open.Just now... did you hear something extraordinary?

"Brother?"

"Yeah, your twin brother." Father Yuanwai looked at Yinshi in surprise, "You don't remember?"

Yinshi shook his head with difficulty, feeling that his breathing was painful and suffocating like drowning.

"Gintoki, tell Dad what happened."

"...I, I don't remember this person, I don't have any memory at all." Yinshi's voice became thinner and thinner, as if drifting, "...since that car accident."

"You don't even remember your name?"

"……do not remember."

Yuanwai's father slowly closed his eyes.

"It's no wonder, that kid has done too many things to sorry you." The old man said, "──Yinshi, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Although his face was miserable, Yinshi still hoped that he would listen.

"Father, can you tell me the name of that brother?" Gintoki asked with the last courage.

Yuan Wai's father looked at Yin Shi with a distressed face, and he could see that he didn't want to put any pressure on Yin Shi when he was in such a bad state.But although Yinshi is cheerful, he still has a childish stubborn side. Even if others don't tell him what he decides to know, he will definitely be able to find out the truth with his own intelligence.After all, Yinshi was still a big child in his eyes, and he was worried that he would not be able to bear it if he knew the truth alone. Now that he told him that he could be with him, wouldn't it relieve some of his worries?

The old man's attitude was still wavering, but the longer the time passed, Yin Shi's complexion became paler and paler.At this moment, he sighed deeply and spoke.

"Listen, no matter what you hear, see, or think, hatred is not your number one priority, Yinshi," Dad said, "knowing the truth is what matters, and solving problems is what matters."

The name is only four Chinese characters, and it sounds as light as a feather, but it is as heavy as Mount Tai when it shakes in my heart.To be honest, Yinshi was not surprised to hear that name again. It should be said that he had a premonition that this name would follow him for a long time, the difference was only in the form.

At this moment, the name has weight, and it is no longer a casual whisper in the ear.When that name established a connection with himself, Yinshi's memory picked up a few fragments, unable to piece together a complete story, but there were some pictures of the story.The images related to this name include warm, mischievous, quarreling, and fighting scenes, mixed with sunshine and shadow, hope and despair.

The scene of the car accident replayed in Yinshi's mind again.Every character in the show no longer has a blurred face. Sitting in the co-pilot is a mother who is still in shock, sitting in the back seat is furiously roaring "Bastard, stop", and the dark green Rolls Royce emits pain The sharp screams were completely ignored by him who was driving.At that time, Gintoki knew that the car accident was all a crazy plan-a man's plan to escape and ignore the pain of others.

Sakata Ginpachi.

Yinshi had always despised crying, but at this moment he wished so much to indulge his fragility.It's a pity that the lacrimal gland was not up to the mark, and it didn't really come in handy at the critical moment.

who I am?Where do I come from?Where am I going?

The man's words woke me up.I remembered that I used to be the chief scientist here, a researcher of dream science, and a large part of my bright future was devoted to research.I am proud of who I am, and it thrills me to think that I will be No. 1 in unraveling the mysteries of the subconscious mind.

However, just as I was thinking this way, I found that I couldn't get back the enthusiasm I had back then, and I was more confused and lost.I wanted to ascertain what was the reason, so I traced back that strained train of thought and found a name.

Toshiro Hijikata... who is it?

For this strange yet familiar name, I harbored the guilt that came from the bottom of my heart, and the reckless enthusiasm for the research, pulling hard in my body.What does that feel like, you know?The child discovered a new world of pranks, but was afraid of being scolded and punished.

Is it guilt?No, I was only afraid of those bottomless blue eyes, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, so my thoughts and emotions fell into a dilemma.

Extending from my left to my right is an unfolding timeline, from the picture of me when I was a child, to the panicked appearance of me now.The more you get rid of every closely connected detail, the more you don't understand what kind of person you are standing here?

I asked myself those three questions again.However, I found that I was lost.
