Absolute Persona [Unlimited]

"Why? Where's Mom? Can't I go home? Who are you?"

Little Jiang Jian raised her head and looked at the stranger in front of her in puzzlement.

He is a precocious child. When he meets a stranger in a strange environment, his first reaction is not to be afraid and flustered, but to ask calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed his hoarse voice, and he couldn't help raising his hand to caress the side of his neck, his pupils trembling slightly.

"I am the owner of this store, and I take care of all the messy business related to computers."

Gu Ren looked down at him, his eyes behind the lenses were motionless, and after a few seconds, he stiffly raised his hand to pat Jiang Jian's head.

He is a person who has never even been in a relationship. He is completely new to parenting and doesn't know how to coax children.

The moment Xiao Jiang Jian stretched out his palm in front of him, his whole body trembled.

A feeling of nausea and nausea surged up, he covered his neck with his hands, avoided Gu Ren's movements, ran to the trash can beside him, and retched again and again.

Gu Min frowned slightly, glanced at his palm, turned around and poured him a glass of water and put it beside him, without touching him again, went to the swivel chair next to him and sat down.

He clearly knew that the child didn't trust him, and he didn't intend to win the child's trust, so he shook the mouse.

The dynamic computer screen saver is a tree with leaves falling slowly.

As soon as Gu Ren touched the mouse, the screen saver animation was fragmented, and the login password interface was displayed.

"Do you know what your parents' names are?"

"Jiang Feng, Zhou Zi."

"What do they do?"

"teacher."

"How much do you remember about that day?"

Little Jiang Jian held the trash can with both hands, raised her head, and frowned slightly.

He remembers them all, but he doesn't want to recall them.

"Is there a bathroom?" he asked.

Gu Ren took him to the bathroom and watched him scrubbing his hands over and over again under the dim light, as if they were stained with something unclean, crazy and stubborn.

He sighed, exited the bathroom, and waited for him to come out after washing.

After Xiao Jiang Jian washed her hands, she wiped her hands and the corners of her mouth where she retched just now with a paper towel, and sat on Huihui Ren's camp bed, her sight was blocked, and she didn't know what Gu Ren was doing at all.

Gu Ren kept tapping on the keyboard with his fingertips.

Little Jiang Jian stretched her neck and asked him if he had anything.

Gu Ren turned a deaf ear to his question, and after a long time, he pressed the enter key and looked back.

He was silent for a long time and said, "You can't go back."

Zhong Xun frowned.

He didn't know how long Jiang Jian had been in a coma?From when he was suffocated at home to when he appeared underground in Electronic City, did he not have any memory during this time?

"You're still young, and you can only see what's happening in front of your eyes." Gu Ren leaned on the seat decadently, raised his hand to adjust his glasses, "Listen, what happened in your house is not that simple, things After the whole story...Maybe someone will tell you when you grow up a bit. I am entrusted to take care of you, and you will have a formal legal guardian later, so don't ask me too many questions, I am too lazy answer."

Little Jiang Jian looked at his mournful appearance and didn't speak for a long time.

He crossed his arms and sat on Gu Ren's camp bed, staring at the ground and thinking for a long time.

No one knew what he was thinking.

After a long time, he said coldly, "It's okay, I don't need others to tell me what happened, my mother said, the truth and the truth must be explored and discovered by yourself."

Gu Ren turned off the computer, sat up straight, and looked up and down at little Jiang Jian: "Are you really only six years old?"

Little Jiang Jian rubbed her neck uncomfortably, coughed lightly, and met Gu Min's gaze: "Yes, my parents say that my intelligence is far higher than that of my peers, but I have no friends, nor compared."

Gu Ren nodded, took off his glasses, and wiped the lenses: "Yes, I like to communicate with smart people. Let me tell you first, I'm not good at taking care of children, and I'm afraid I can't raise you well either. I can only guarantee that I won't starve to death."

Little Jiang Jian put the quilt on her body, and her voice did not fluctuate: "I will take good care of myself, and try to grow up to find out about this matter. I will count on you for three meals a day."

"The business of my store is enough to feed you."

"Thank you, Mr. Shopkeeper."

Zhong Xun fell into darkness as little Jiang Jian fell asleep, there were too many doubts hanging over Jiang Jian, but Gu Ren didn't tell Jiang Jian anything, and little Jiang Jian also showed maturity that didn't match his age, Accepted the status quo indifferently, without asking any more questions.

absurd!

He had known for a long time that Jiang Jian's personality was very weird, but he hadn't thought that he had been like this since he was six years old.

Little Jiang Jian's hands were restlessly resting on his neck. He slept very restlessly, curled up, and occasionally breathed rapidly.

Zhong Xun closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the images of Xiao Jiang Jian before he fell into a coma.

The young boy who was not much older than him, his hands were stained with blood, and his ferocious face was magnified in Jiang Jian's eyes, leading him into the abyss of nightmare every second.

He had read the operation manual written by Tang Yin, and it was clear that it belonged to Jiang Jian's memory recall.

Tang Yin mentioned in the operation guide that looking back from the perspective of the memory master is "non-objective". After a long life, everything in memory will be more or less beautified and modified, leaving the most profound and The most unforgettable picture.

He witnessed his mother being stabbed in the abdomen, and then being pinched into shock by his brother, which was the most unforgettable memory for him.

While Zhong Xun savored the heartache, he couldn't stop thinking about the details that he couldn't see.

Where did the blood on Jiang Jian's brother's hand come from when he appeared?

Who does that puddle of blood in the kitchen belong to?

Zhong Xun had no way of knowing, he always felt that Gu Ren seemed to know something, but after a whole year, the two of them were in the same space without a word of extraneous words.

He never disturbed Gu Ren's work. When Gu Ren was receiving customers in the underground store, Xiao Jiang Jian would carry the old computer that Gu Ren left for him to the cubicle, little by little to consolidate his trust from Gu Ren. acquired knowledge.

Zhong Xun had never seen such a child.

For a whole year, I didn't cry once.

Gu Ren never took him out to play, he didn't mind at all.It's just that the lack of sunshine made his whole temperament sick.

He doesn't have the curiosity of a child. The only time he was full of thirst for knowledge was when he searched for keywords of his parents on the Internet.

But he found nothing in the end.

The two living adults seemed to have never appeared before, and the information in the online world disappeared completely.

Since then, little Jiang Jian has become more restrained.

With a slap-sized face, he learned a lot of unique skills from Gu Ren.

One morning, little Jiang Jian opened her eyes and found that the store was empty.

Gu Ren left without saying goodbye.

When little Jiang Jian was at a loss, a man in a light brown suit jacket knocked on the iron door of the store.

There was a clear knock on the door, and what greeted him was a hot beef noodle breakfast, and the adoption documents handed over by He Minzhi and his accompanying assistants.

Gu Ren had told him before leaving that he would have an official guardian.

After Xiao Jiang Jian carefully checked the file, she turned on the computer next to her and entered He Minzhi's name.

This gentle and refined university professor did not show any dissatisfaction or surprise at his actions. He smiled softly and waited patiently for Xiao Jiang Jian to confirm everything before reaching out to him.

"Let's go home."

Little Jiang Jian placed herself in He Minzhi's palm.

This is the first time he has felt inner peace since he left his biological parents for a year.

……

Both He Minzhi and his wife were very kind to Jiang Jian. As an excellent surgeon, Mrs. He was often away from home because of her busy surgery schedule. Jiang Jian spent most of her time with He Minzhi.

In the first year, He Minzhi sent him to school, but because of Jiang Jian, he was pushed out and almost bullied within a few months, so he had no choice but to suspend him from school.

That night, Jiang Jian was awakened by the alternate voices of men and women in her sleep.

This was so similar to that nightmare afternoon, he nervously crawled out of the bed, crept to the bedroom door, opened it quietly, and the whispered quarrel between He Minzhi and Mrs. He drifted into his mind. .

"If we don't send him to school, we'll teach him?" Mrs. He rubbed her temples, "I know he's very smart, I saw him flipping through my medical textbooks in the study with great interest. But that's not the point!"

"What do you think is the point?"

"The point is that he can't stay at home like before, lonely. What's the difference between this and his previous family in Electronics City? He Minzhi, he's going to grow up and enter the society after all. .Going to school is the first step in a person's socialization."

"But he's not good enough now. Forcing him to accept socialization will hurt him."

He Minzhi helped his wife to sit down.

"You were not there that day. I watched the school's surveillance. How those children scolded him and bullied him, he always had one expression, but no expression. When I got home, I asked him how he felt at that time, and he just said that his heart was beating so loudly. Soon, there was a stabbing pain, and my breathing was not smooth."

Madam He turned her head suddenly: "You mean?"

He Minzhi nodded: "It's not that he's withdrawn, nor is he estranged from us, that's why he doesn't cry and laugh in front of us, and doesn't let us touch him. He should be sick."

Mrs. He murmured, "It sounds like alexithymia..."

Unaware of their own emotions happening, and unable to understand the emotions of others.

Without being dominated by emotions, there is no way to express the rich emotions of the world with words.

"He had to encounter such incomprehensible and unreasonable things at such a young age. The psychological trauma may be the reason why he became what he is today." He Minzhi lowered his voice, "I also know that he cannot escape from this society. But this kind of him is out of tune with others, if he can't be understood by others, how can he be tolerated and accepted by society?"

Madam He moved her lips.

That's right, if you want Jiang Jian to be understood, you have to let people know what he has experienced.

Do you force him to uncover his scars again and again just to be accepted by others and society?

Since she and He Minzhi were already his guardians, there was absolutely no reason for him to be hurt twice because of this incident.What's more... what's more, no one mentioned that bizarre case anymore.

Zhong Xun watched Xiao Jiang Jian close the door and silently climbed onto the bed, heaving a long sigh of relief.

The next day, he turned on the TV at home, pointed at the bloody idol drama, and said to He Minzhi, "Can you...can you teach me how to recognize emotions?"

Zhong Xun yawned, and accompanied Xiao Jiangjian to watch idol dramas one after another, watching him pull the muscles of his cheeks in front of the mirror over and over again, trying to show a less ferocious smile.

His learning ability has always been very strong, ridiculously strong, but he is particularly clumsy in the matter of emotional perception, and he doesn't know the point.

Studying at home with He Minzhi does not have the class time limit in school. Others may still be in high school at his age, but he has already begun to read papers written by graduate students under He Minzhi's leadership.

That year, Mrs. He was transferred to the hospital, and He Minzhi also came to the city where Zhong Xun was located.

He began to enter the university campus, and with the efforts of He Minzhi, he worked as his assistant in the interdisciplinary project team of the school to conduct research.

It's just that Jiang Jian still doesn't have the so-called socialized campus life.

He wandered around in various laboratories, talking about experiments and scientific research topics with professors who were obsessed with scientific research, but he never had contact and intersection in daily life.

Some old professors like to gossip, and proposed to He Minzhi to introduce their students to Jiang Jian, but He Minzhi refused with a smile and Tai Chi.

He Minzhi never interfered with Jiang Jian's life, only made suggestions, and let Jiang Jian make his own judgment.

Even when Shen Changfeng approached him and proposed to let Jiang Jian join the Disorder Department, he simply analyzed the pros and cons and let Jiang Jian decide.

After listening to He Minzhi's words, Jiang Jian, who was so handsome, turned to look at Shen Changfeng: "If I refuse, what will you use to convince me?"

Shen Changfeng glanced at He Minzhi from the corner of his eye.

Those were Zhong Xun's familiar eyes, the eyes of the cunning old fox who would do anything to achieve his goals.

I only heard Shen Changfeng say: "At present, only the Department of Disorders still keeps the on-site data of your parents' death. When you join the Department of Disorders and are promoted to have viewing authority, you can start the investigation at any time."

Sure enough, Jiang Jian's usual indifferent expression appeared unprecedentedly dignified.

"it is good."

Zhong Xun's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Shen Changfeng through Jiang Jian's perspective with a little gratitude.

Thanks to his great leadership, he will soon be able to see himself from this perspective.

Jiang Jian followed Tang Yin out of the central tower, got off the elevator, and followed the circular cell to the other side.

After going around in circles, I came to the empty room where Zhong Xun was.

There are retrospective device seats all over the room, only the middle one is lit, and the people lying in it are calm and stable.

Jiang Jian looked at Zhong Xun's tall nose bridge behind the mask, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.

He really cares about chaos.

This man has a very close relationship with the program group. He did whatever he wanted when he was ranked first, and he also had an unknown connection with the bartender Tang Yin. No wonder he felt peace when sharing the spirit.

and many more?

Spirit sharing?

Jiang Jian stood still, her eyes fixed on Zhong Xun who was sitting on the seat.

He remembered feeling the sting from Zhong Xun several times on the way to the central control tower.But the way he walked, he didn't see any device that could cause such pain.

Jiang Jian looked down slowly, and landed on Zhong Xun's fingertips resting on the armrest.

He stretched out his hand and squeezed lightly on his arm.

"hiss--"

"It's this kind of pain, yes."

Jiang Jian talked to herself, and slowly lowered her hands, recalling her feelings at that time.

"What are you doing? This is not a dream, and you won't wake up." Tang Yin couldn't understand Jiang Jian's operation.As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Jian pinching him on several other places on his body.

Soon, Jiang Jian's bewildered expression seemed to be illuminated by a beam of light. Mao Sai suddenly realized, his eyes widened, he raised his hand and patted the glass mask on Zhong Xun's device, and said softly, "It's really you."

Then turned around and walked out.

"Hey, where are you going!?" Tang Yin only had Jiang Jian, who had the password to run it, and followed quickly.

Jiang Jian felt windy under his feet, and said as he walked, "Go back to the control tower, I know the password he set."

Zhong Xun didn't know that Jiang Jian greeted him outside.

Following Jiang Jian's perspective, he revisited their encounter in the Department of Disorders.

It's just that He Min's words are still in his ears.

He had disliked Jiang Jian's inhumanity more than once in the Department of Abnormalities. He didn't check the well-being of the world. No matter what file was in his hands, it was a cold job.He was afraid that he would not get a response from him, and because of this, he thought about giving up his weak feelings for Jiang Jian.

Jiang Jian has no heart, he said so to Shen Li.

Looking at it now, every word he said to Jiang Jian was like a needle piercing his heart.

He also disliked Jiang Jian's obsession with cleanliness, laughed at his timidity, and subconsciously avoided the pictures of the scene and dissection, so he forced him to read more until he could be trained to help him communicate with the forensic doctor.

But at that time, how did he know the psychological shadow left by him in his childhood?

Zhong Xun waited until that night of sitting together for a drink. After he left, he entered the program world and never went back.He harbored a secret expectation, hoping that his disappearance would leave some traces of himself in Jiang Jian's heart.

"Zhong Xun is missing."

Shen Changfeng's hands visibly shook when he handed over the materials to Jiang Jian.

The first time was his son, and the second time was his capable subordinate.He knew that he was the backbone of the Department of Disorders, but he still couldn't help being a little bit shaken about this kind of thing.

Will they be in vain?

If the investigation continues like this, the person keeps disappearing but no reason can be found. What should I do?

If his son died in the line of duty, he and his family would have already made full psychological preparations.But what about his best friend?Xu Chengyi and Zhong Ying opposed Zhong Xun's joining so strongly, how should he give them an explanation?

How to give an explanation to the families of those missing people?

"I want to look at the surveillance and on-site photos first." Jiang Jian responded to him calmly, and Shen Changfeng gradually recovered from his cold voice.

The alley where Zhong Xun ambush was originally not monitored. He knew that the man was never afraid of appearing in the surveillance, so he asked the person who went to the camp in advance to install the surveillance device.

Jiang Jian stared intently at the monitor, watching the man in the gray coat approaching Zhong Xun, without saying a word.

He tapped the keyboard, and the screen rewound for two seconds.

In a certain frame, the man in the gray coat raised his head slightly, and his eyes were illuminated by the moonlight.

Then, Zhong Xun's coat fell to the ground.The figures of the two disappeared out of thin air.

Jiang Jian pressed the pause button and stared at the screen.

After a while, he turned around and pushed open Shen Changfeng's door, clenching his fingers tightly.

"I'm applying for access to the dossier on the death of my parents to check the relevant investigation materials." He paused, "Also, please give me the black coat that Zhong Xun left at the scene."

In the year since Zhong Xun disappeared, the entire Disorder Department realized that Jiang Jian had changed.

He no longer went to the scene after being urged by Zhong Xun as before, but whenever there was a new situation in each detachment, he would immediately follow him to the scene, wearing the trench coat that belonged to Zhong Xun.

Out of season, but there is an indescribable courage.

Jiang Jian would follow up on reports of disappearances anywhere other than her own job.It is said that a teenager whom he and Zhong Xun's detachment leader had known together disappeared, and almost lived in the office all night, chasing after him all night.

He made himself ill a few times, and even after being scolded by Shen Ju, he still went his own way. He even got into a small car accident during an investigation, and his whole body was severely injured, and he became so emaciated that he was inhuman.

That day, Jiang Jian got off work, greeted her colleagues, and went into the locker room to change.

He put on his plain clothes and put on Zhong Xun's windbreaker that was one size bigger, and was about to go out when he heard his colleagues who were about to leave whispering in the corridor.

"Do you feel that Teacher Jiang is becoming more and more humane?"

"No." The man thought for a while, "I think...he seems to force himself to live like Captain Zhong."

"Keep down, we haven't mentioned Zhong Xun's name for more than half a year!"

They didn't know that just this sentence made Jiang Jian almost unsteady.He flew home as fast as he could, before he could take off his coat, he ran to the kitchen and opened the door of the refrigerator.

It was full of food boxes, with post-it notes written by Zhong Xun on them.

At that time, he didn't care about Zhong Xun's frequent visits to his house and stuffing all kinds of food in the refrigerator.

I even feel that he can't eat that much by himself, which is a waste of time.

But now, there is nothing left in it except for the empty box and his handwriting.

Jiang Jian closed the door and slowly sat on the ground with his back against the refrigerator. His legs were bent, his hands wrapped around his knees, and he buried his head deeply.

Zhong Xun blinked sourly, his consciousness gradually rose from Jiang Jian's perspective.

Just now, he saw a key made of condensed light in the empty food box in the refrigerator.

According to the operation guide, if you get the key, you can go to the end to open the door, so that Jiang Jian can retrieve all her memories.

His luminous consciousness condensed into a human shape, and stretched into it through the refrigerator.Just as he was holding the key, he suddenly heard Jiang Jian's voice.

"Did I learn too late?"

Holding the key in his hand, he began to move around.

Zhong Xun turned around to look at the person curled up in the corner, squatted down, and embraced Jiang Jian, who only existed in memory.

The conscious body placed a kiss on Jiang Jian's forehead.

The Jiang Jian at this time was no different from the Jiang Jian when he met him in the studio.

After testing in Qingluan Village, he firmly told No. 001 that this Jiang Jian is a fake.

Zhong Xun now knows that he was deceived by his own memory.

He had suspected that Jiang Jian was the person he was thinking of countless times, and he had dismissed the idea countless times, simply because Jiang Jian was far from what he remembered.

But he forgot that people always change.

The Jiang Jian before meeting Zhong Xun is different from the Jiang Jian after meeting Zhong Xun.

Similarly, Jiang Jian before losing Zhong Xun and after losing Zhong Xun is also different.
