Every day is one step closer to reality

Before Feng Yi went home, he first went to Wu Ji's house.

There were no rats in Wu Ji's house at this time, and he couldn't tell for sure in the middle of the night. After all, the holes in the house were not blocked, and the number of visits to eliminate rats was still being queued.

After Wu Ji knew that Feng Yi had the ability to catch mice, he forced Feng Yi to spend the night at his house.

"They must be destroyed to prevent future troubles!"

Wu Ji is very active in the eradication of rats. "The guest rooms have been cleaned up, and it is convenient to live in the same building. If you are not used to sleeping on the pillows here, you can take down the pillows at home. Brother, my sleep depends on you." Got it!"

Feng Yi also felt that this was a convenient thing to help, so he agreed and stayed in the guest room that Wu Ji had packed up on the fifth floor for the night.

The house on the 5th floor belongs to Wu Ji's parents. Wu Ji's own house is on the 29th floor. However, the rat infestation on the lower floors is more serious, so the elderly people temporarily moved to the 29th floor.

Wu Ji has not had a good night's sleep since he lived on the fifth floor. Wu Ji hates those rats, but he can't do anything about them. He can't stick to them or catch them. If Feng Yi can trap a mouse tonight, he will be avenged.

However, that night, from the 1st floor to the 10th floor, the rats seemed to have suddenly disappeared. Even if there were rats in the house, it was very peaceful that night. Although the ones on the mid-to-high floors are not that quiet, they are still much better than some time ago.

Revenge was not avenged, but Wu Ji rarely had a good sleep that night.

“Could it be that the community’s rodent control efforts are paying off?”

The owner group is also discussing this matter. The situation of the entire community seems to be much better than the previous few days. Although other buildings are not as peaceful as Feng Yi and his group, the changes are obvious when compared with before.

The rodent control workers in the community did kill many rats every day. Therefore, everyone did not think about other aspects. They all speculated whether the rats fled the area when they saw the increased efforts to eradicate rats.

"The dark life is finally over!" Wu Ji was excited.

"I didn't see you take action this time. I'll come back to you next time when rats come in. It would be a pity if you don't use your skills. Do you really want to open a rat extermination company? If you have this idea, I will definitely invest in it!" Wu Ji looked at Feng Yi.

"No." Feng Yi thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of snakes?"

Wu Ji's expression changed instantly.

"No, I can still fight against the mouse. If it's the snake, I might just leave my body!"

"You are also a snake, are you afraid of being like this?" Feng Yi asked.

"Who stipulates that people who belong to the year of snake cannot be afraid of snakes? I am most afraid of snakes! I stepped on a snake when I was a child. The color was similar to the surrounding grass. I knew something was wrong when I stepped on it without paying attention. If I jumped any slower, I would be killed. It bit me. I’ve had psychological problems ever since!”

It has been so many years since the incident happened, but I still feel a little scared when I think back on it. Wu Ji shuddered and said, "Thinking about it this way, I'd rather face the mouse."

Feng Yi stopped mentioning it.

When you get home, look in the mirror and look carefully at your face to see if there are any changes.

As the night passed, Feng Yi felt that the range of perception had expanded a lot. If the space he could perceive with him as the center was a sphere, the radius would be about five stories high.

If he wanted to, he could even sense how many people were upstairs and downstairs and what they were doing. It's not very clear, I can only perceive it roughly.

Don't deliberately sense the surrounding residents, which would infringe on other people's privacy. I'll try it next time I go to the park.

In the next two days, the rat trouble situation in the community improved significantly. The residents' curses at night also decreased, and the barking of dogs seemed to have disappeared.

After the meal, the residents of the community smiled more when they took a walk, and the chat atmosphere in the owner group became peaceful.

But compared to the others who were gradually improving, Feng Yi felt depressed.

Something has been wrong with him these past two days!

Nothing is right anywhere!

I fried hand pancakes for breakfast. When I ate it, I stuffed the whole thing into my mouth. Before I choked, I recovered my senses and vomited it out quickly.

When eating eggs, I put them into my mouth without even peeling the shell. Although I realized what I was doing later, I still broke out in a cold sweat.

Once or twice it could be said to be careless and accidental, but if this happens again and again, it cannot be regarded as a simple distraction!

besides!

I also felt that the sauce was particularly pungent during lunch today, and I even sneezed a few times.

At first Feng Yi suspected that the sauce had expired, but the date on the packaging showed it was new.

I thought I had bought a defective product, but even if I substituted other sauces, it still felt extremely pungent!

Everything I ate afterward tasted strange.

I have a headache and always feel hot, but my body temperature is normal.

No matter what kind of thermometer I changed, it showed that my body temperature was normal.

Feng Yi couldn't calm down anymore.

It's not easy to go to the hospital. The old housekeeper's words are still echoing in his ears. If he really finds out any non-human symptoms, he will probably be sent directly to the research institute.

So, in his current situation, is he sick? Or did some strange changes occur as the old butler said?

Feng Yi himself didn't know.

Ask the doctor or the housekeeper?

I wonder if it is because there are too many things pressing in my heart and excessive mental pressure. It has nothing to do with what the old housekeeper said?

Even the sense of perception that was in good use yesterday is now blurred.

After thinking about it, Feng Yi came up with a solution.

I searched online and clicked on a platform with relatively good reviews, which provides 24-hour real-time online consultation.

Feng Yi briefly described his symptoms.

Soon a doctor online responded:

【Hello! According to your description, you are slow to respond to the outside world and overly sensitive, and may have some cognitive impairment...]

Bah bah bah bah a long paragraph.

Feng Yi continued to ask with trembling hands: "So, how can we improve it?"

Online doctor’s reply:

[It is recommended that you come to the psychiatric department of our hospital for a detailed examination. 】

Feng Yi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this reply.

Switch the page, search for the sentence "cognitive function impairment" that the online doctor just replied, and then see——

[Patients with schizophrenia have cognitive impairment... Slow response or over-sensitivity to external information may be a sign of psychotic symptoms and cognitive decline...]

Feng Yi felt chilled in his heart.

After thinking about it, I couldn't scare myself like this, so I called the old housekeeper.

The old housekeeper's voice sounded a little expectant: "Don't worry, it's normal. This is just an early reaction. Your genes are changing, and your body is adapting to this change. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you can take advantage of it. Go out to play and relax during this time. When this adaptation period passes, you may not be in the mood to go out."

After hearing this reply, Feng Yi didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

Fortunately, I am not mentally ill.

What's worrying is that the old housekeeper said at the end, "When the adaptation period has passed, you may not be in the mood to go out for fun." What are the so-called "small changes"?

With this extremely complicated mood, Feng Yi still participated in Wu Ji's weekend farmhouse fishing activity.

Departing on Saturday morning.

This time they are going to Yueshan Ecological Tourism Scenic Area, which is about two hours' drive from Rongcheng.

Wu Ji drove his parents, and on Feng Yi's side, he got out of the car and Qian Feiyang came to drive.

He has "cognitive impairment", so it's better not to drive to be safe.

Probably because there were more people traveling on weekends, there were several traffic jams on the way out of the city. When he stopped at another red light, Qian Feiyang clicked on the cell phone next to him and glanced at the surveillance screen above.

"Did Bajiao leave it at home?" Feng Yi asked.

"It only takes two days. I will go back tomorrow. There is no need to send it to the pet store. There is an automatic feeding machine and automatic poop scooper at home. The monitoring is also turned on. You can check its progress at home on your mobile phone at any time." Qian Feiyang said.

Feng Yi took a look and saw Bajiao sleeping on his back on the sofa in the living room.

Qian Feiyang continued driving, "Wuji said, the farmhouse we are going to this time can catch a lot of fish, but I don't know if it is true. Don't spend a whole day fishing like last time and end up lonely. Anyway, I will only try two." When I was young, I stopped playing if I couldn’t catch anything and took photos instead.”

Feng Yi asked him: "What do you think of snakes?"

There was no sign of rejection on Qian Feiyang's face: "You know, as advanced creatures, humans have tendencies. Some people like warm-blooded animals, and some people like ectothermic animals..."

"so?"

"I choose to pet the cat."

Feng Yi stopped asking.

More than two hours later, they arrived at their destination.

There are many farmhouses near Yueshan Scenic Area, but the business here is much better than the five-star hotels in the center of the scenic area. Wu Ji booked the room a week in advance.

After going to the place to tidy up, Wu Ji's parents needed a rest as they were getting older, and the three of them were full of energy.

"Let's go fishing!"

Wu Ji pulled out the guide from his cell phone that he had received from Uncle Liu of the community fishing group.

The tools and materials needed were rented and bought, and then Wu Ji took Feng Yi and Qian Feiyang to find a place according to the guide.

Uncle Liu roughly drew a few positions for him. They arrived a little late today, and the closest positions were already occupied. But it’s okay, Uncle Liu painted a lot, and the fishing area is large, so it’s not crowded even on weekends when there are the most people.

This area actually belongs to the ecological scenic area, and the other side of the ecological scenic area is a nature reserve that does not allow tourists to enter at will.

I chose this farm because it has the best scenery and is closest to the fishing area.

If you want to be close to nature after living in the city for a long time, it is comfortable to choose a place like this to spend the weekend. If you are lucky, you may encounter some cute little animals such as squirrels and foxes.

Some internet celebrities or video bloggers also occasionally come here to try their luck.

The weather is good today, cloudy and windy, and the temperature is suitable. There are children running around the farm, but there are fewer children in the fishing areas. Young people in their 20s like Feng Yi and others are actually not common.

Feng Yi bought a fisherman's hat when he rented fishing equipment just now, and he also wore a mask on his face. It is not conspicuous here. Fishing people have their own ways to protect themselves from the sun, and many of them cover it up tightly.

Finally finding a place, Wu Ji was gearing up.

"Let's compete to see who catches the fish first!"

Qian Feiyang was not interested and responded lazily.

Wu Ji was in high spirits: "How many fish do you think I can catch today?"
