abnormal sea area

With Zhang Xiao's efforts, he obtained the right to use a certain room on the top floor of the Crisis Office.

"This room used to be dedicated to Qin Shuangshuang." Zhang Xiao told Qin Ge and Xie Zijing, "Qin Shuangshuang was the director of the Crisis Office at the time, and this is where she patrols the 'sea area' of new recruits, or conducts 'sea area' for certain dangerous people. 'A dedicated place for torture."

Gao Qiong, who was standing at the corner of the elevator, looked up: "She checked my 'sea area' here."

Xie Zijing: "Then why not use it for Qin Ge? He is now the only mediator of the Crisis Office."

"He's not the director." Zhang Xiao said with a smile, "and that room is too big, which violates the relevant regulations. It is completely vacant now, which is really a waste. But I heard Gao Tianyue's meaning, he intends to vacate this room for Your adjustment department is a dedicated spiritual adjustment studio."

The four of them walked into a large room on the top floor of the Crisis Office.

The room is circular, with a high ceiling, forming a huge dome, and a few scattered small windows are embedded in the dome, and the sunlight is coming in through the glass.

There is a chaise longue in the center of the room, but nothing else.

Compared with the adjustment studio in the ordinary sense, this is indeed too big, too big.

Gao Qiong walked around the room and released his wolf.The wolf looked a little different from ordinary wolves. This time, it didn't rub against Zhang Xiao anymore, but ran along the corner with a serious face to check the interior of the room.Zhang Xiao stood in the middle of the room, and a surging white mist rose from him.

No one saw his spiritual body.The cloud of mist hugged Gao Qiong, and Gao Qiong hugged it.Then the mist dissipated completely.The sealed space was filled with a refreshing and soft atmosphere at this moment, and the flowing air brushed Qin Ge and Xie Zijing's hair, invisible and invisible, like the freshest and softest spring breeze.

Xie Zijing stood blankly, his eyes chasing the invisible spiritual body.

It is light and lively, jumping on all fours, stepping over the ice-breaking river, falling into the new grass blades and wet soil.

Xie Zijing even felt that it passed over his face, and the short and soft fluff brushed against the tip of his nose.It must have kissed itself on the cheek as well.So immediately he calmed down and the fear completely disappeared.

"What's that?" He asked Qin Ge.

Qin Ge shook his head: "I don't know, Teacher Zhang rarely reveals its complete form."

Xie Zijing looked down at his palm: "I want to pet the rabbit."

Qin Ge: "...can't come out."

Xie Zijing looked at the wolf standing not far in front of him at the same time.The gray-white wolf has short legs and a fat body, but his eyes are piercing, looking Xie Zijing up and down.

The long-haired rabbit just refused to condense into shape, and a cloud of white mist swirled in Xie Zijing's palm.It's scary.Xie Zijing raised his hand and whispered to the rabbit who didn't want to show up.

Before coming here, Qin Ge once asked Xie Zijing if he still remembered what happened to his father.

Xie Zijing couldn't remember his father's name, nor did he know what kind of job he was doing.He only vaguely remembered that his father often traveled on business, either to Beijing or to other places, sometimes for ten days and a half months.When asked what he was doing, he said he was going to work.What job?Meetings, doing research, all in all, it's such an ordinary job.

Qin Ge didn't say what Zhang Xiao told him.Xie Zijing's father, Xie Liang, is the second mediator in China, who specializes in serving special people. His identity and actions are top secret.

The bodies of the two couples who disappeared in the Luquan incident have not been found so far, and there is no whereabouts.

Qin Ge's eyelids hadn't fluttered so frequently for a long time, but ever since he learned about Xie Zijing's father, he couldn't sleep well, his dreams were messed up, and the mountain fires in the "Sea Territory" even sprang up from time to time, burning red. half day sky.

He is also afraid.He always felt that something extraordinary would happen when he entered Xie Zijing's "sea area" this time.He couldn't tell what it would be, but premonitions always made him uneasy.

Xie Zijing sat on the recliner.He saw the sunlight on the ceiling, and saw the gentle breath lingering in this large room.It belongs to Zhang Xiao, and it also belongs to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge injected him with a tranquilizer.

After 15 minutes, Zhang Xiao signaled that he could start.

Two guides patrol the "sea area" of the sentinel at the same time. The prerequisite is that the "sea area" of the two guides must be connected.

Zhang Xiao held Qin Ge's hand with a calm and gentle expression: "Don't worry, my diving buddy and I will ensure the safety of you and Xie Zijing."

Qin Ge closed his eyes.

He stood on the top of the mountain, watching the sky where the stars were falling forever, and the countless blazing fires.A voice called him from behind, he hugged his rabbit, turned and ran down the mountain.

The bottom of the mountain is not a canyon, nor is it a scene of fire.He broke into a forest, and suddenly he shuddered as the stream ran over his bare feet.

Upstream in the stream, he saw a small animal drawing water.

The back of the little beast is bent, the shell-shaped ears are almost transparent by the sunlight, and the fluff on its body seems to be shining. As it bends down and explores its neck, it shakes off the debris of the sun.

It raised its head and stared at Qin Ge with round and bright eyes.

The long-haired rabbit in Qin Ge's arms suddenly became energetic.It pushed back the hair that blocked its eyes, and looked at the little beast.

The little beast suddenly turned and ran.Qin Ge stepped across the stream and followed closely behind it.

They broke into a dense forest fog. Qin Ge's feet trembled and he almost fell to his knees.

He saw the desk, the small bed, and the closed bookcase and wardrobe in front of him.

"...Is this the confined space in Xie Zijing's 'sea area'?"

The little beast disappeared, and Zhang Xiao stood in the middle of the room, looking at the posters on the wall with great interest.

Qin Ge got up quickly, he was extremely embarrassed: "This is..."

"I know." Zhang Xiao said with a smile, "It's normal. He must like you very much."

Zhang Xiao told him that his "sea area" is a forest, while the high-dome sea area is a plain covered with ice and snow.But during their long-term relationship, their respective "sea areas" have undergone new changes because of each other.

"I can see snow-capped mountains in my 'sea area', and green forests have begun to appear on the edge of the high-dome snowfield." Zhang Xiao said, "Qin Ge, two people who love each other will affect each other, everything They all infiltrate each other, and then leave their own traces in each other's spiritual world."

He turned to look at the poster on the wall.

In fact, this wall is quite different from what Qin Ge saw back then.Countless posters and photos were densely pasted on the wall, all related to Qin Ge.But there is no Xie Zijing in it.

"It's all about you." Zhang Xiao said, "but not himself."

Qin Ge: "There weren't so many before."

Zhang Xiao: "Yes. Because of being with you, he has become richer."

He walked to the desk and tried to open the drawer, but the drawer didn't move.Qin Ge quickly reached out to pull the drawer, but the drawer didn't move at all.

"It's okay, have you seen what's in the drawer?" Zhang Xiao waved his hand, "He trusts me, but it doesn't mean he's willing to open up all his secrets to me. What's stored here must be his most precious things."

Zhang Xiao looked at the books and photos on the desktop again.In the photo frame is still the moment when Qin Ge approached the camera with flowers, and it is the most primitive memory of Qin Ge in Xie Zijing's mind.

There are a few small ornaments beside the photo frame, including pandas, sand cats, and a bigger werewolf.

Zhang Xiao looked at it carefully for a while: "What is this?"

Qin Ge: "It's someone he met in the crisis office. The werewolf is Lei Chi, and the sand cat and panda are the spiritual bodies of the other two people in our department."

Zhang Xiao stood up immediately: "...Does your department have pandas?"

Qin Ge: "Yes."

An uncontrollable smile flashed across Zhang Xiao's face, and then he coughed lightly to cover it up.He looked carefully at every corner of the room, and finally stood in front of the closet.

"Is this the access?" he asked.

Qin Ge knocked on the cabinet door: "Xie Zijing?"

There was no movement in the cabinet door. Qin Ge tried to open the door, but the door couldn't be opened at all.

Zhang Xiao was not in a hurry, he sat on Xie Zijing's bed, and suddenly asked, "Is this the room he lived in when he was a teenager?"

"Yes." Qin Ge knocked on the cabinet door again, "Xie Zijing, open the door."

Zhang Xiao quietly watched him communicate with Xie Zijing in the cabinet.After a long time, the door of the closet was finally opened a crack, and a face between a boy and a young man poked out from the closet, looking suspiciously at Zhang Xiao.

"Hello." Zhang Xiao greeted him with a smile.

When passing through the passage, Qin Ge suddenly became nervous.He sensed the fear of Xie Zijing beside him.The boy who was still wearing his school uniform was staring ahead, his fingertips held by Qin Ge were cold and trembling slightly.

Who would be willing to show the ruined world to others?That was almost his worst secret.

When the three of them walked through the passage and stepped into the cold and smelly ruins, the young Xie Zijing turned his head and glanced at Qin Ge.Qin Ge immediately hugged him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The young man blushed, shy and nervous, and raised his arms to hug him.

The relaxed expression on Zhang Xiao's face has completely disappeared.He walked into the ruins and went straight forward without saying a word.

The silver light in front was still dancing and shining, but no matter how they walked, they couldn't get there.Zhang Xiao climbed up the ruins and looked around.Among the vast ruins that were almost completely dark, only the small house was lit, standing abruptly amidst the ruins.

He looked down at Xie Zijing and Qin Ge who were stepping in the water. Qin Ge found that Zhang Xiao had a strange expression.

"You have endured hardship." Zhang Xiao looked at Xie Zijing, "After so many years, it must be very difficult here."

Xie Zijing's Adam's apple twitched, he didn't speak, and looked at Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao turned to look at Qin Ge.

"Are you and Xie Zijing partners?" He asked again.

Qin Ge shook his head: "Not yet."

"Has there ever been an engraving effect between you?" Zhang Xiao asked.

Qin Ge was taken aback. This was a question he had never thought about.

The engraving effect* is a kind of sexual response, and it is a very special kind of resonance phenomenon.It refers to the situation where a sentinel or guide is lured out of spiritual power or a complete spiritual body by the person he likes for the first time. It is a stronger immediate reaction than the commonly known "love at first sight".

Sentinels and guides who have experienced the engraving effect have shown extremely strong dependence, admiration and possessiveness on the elicitor, and it cannot be suppressed or eliminated, and it is extremely difficult to weaken once it occurs.This is an emotional reflection phenomenon that still cannot be reasonably explained. What's even more weird is that when two people who have produced a mirror effect, when the other dies, the other will also fall into inescapable pain and despair.

Most of the time, the engraving effect is not mutual.The loved one has no feelings for you, yet you are forever bound by this unprovoked attachment for the rest of your life.For sentinels and guides who are keen on the game world, the engraving effect is definitely not a good thing.

"No." Qin Ge shook his head again.He didn't know Zhang Xiao's intention for asking this question.

Zhang Xiao: "That's good."

He looked at the ruins around him.

"Qing Ge, one piece of good news and one piece of bad news."

The good news is that Qin Ge's judgment was wrong.Xie Zijing's sea area was not destroyed.It is only destroyed, so the memory will be confused or even lost, but the mental body has always maintained its original state.

The spiritual body is extremely closely connected with the spiritual world of sentries and guides, and abnormalities in the spiritual world will definitely be reflected in the spiritual body.Zhang Xiao had been in contact with the truly destroyed "sea area" - the moment the spiritual body was swallowed and disappeared, the "sea area" immediately began to collapse and disappeared bit by bit.But Xie Zijing's lion was not abnormal, and did not even appear abnormal like other mentally ill patients.

"If the sea area is really destroyed, people will either go crazy or die." Zhang Xiao said, "It's lucky for you that you have never been in touch with the really destroyed 'sea area', but for a spiritual adjuster, it is It's a great pity. But don't worry, Xie Zijing's 'sea area' can be restored."

Qin Ge's heart beat wildly: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang! Thank you!"

Zhang Xiao: "But there is one more bad news."

Qin Ge paused: "What is it?"

"There are indeed some abnormal things in this 'sea area'." Zhang Xiao hesitated to speak, and simply lowered his head and asked him, "What do you think is the most unusual thing here?"

Qin Ge looked at the ruins everywhere.The black rainwater kept falling, and the thin stagnant water was full of bricks and wooden strips, and the stench was strong and unpleasant.

"ruins."

Zhang Xiao shook his head: "No."

Qin Ge seemed to have returned to the scene of the spiritual adjuster exam, facing a problem he had never seen before.

He looked around cautiously, and even looked at Xie Zijing who was leaning tightly beside him.

The answer came to his mind almost instantly.

He turned his head to look at the lonely small room in the distance.Standing in the ruins, it is a different kind among the vast ruins.Too full, too clean, too out of place.

"That's right..." Zhang Xiao jumped off the wall, "It's the most unusual one, and it shouldn't be here."

"It's Xie Zijing's remaining memory." Qin Ge said hurriedly.

Zhang Xiao shook his head: "No, Qin Ge, you can see clearly. It was built on the ruins. In other words, someone first destroyed Xie Zijing's 'sea area', and then built this room. It is not a remnant, It was forced in."

Qin Ge stood there in a daze, only feeling that his whole body was soaked by the cold rain.

"Just like his unreasonable love for you, it is something arranged by others." Zhang Xiao looked at him with some pity in his eyes, "Qin Ge, if we want to restore Xie Zijing's 'sea area', we must Destroy this small room first..."

Qin Ge subconsciously shook his head.

"...Get rid of all his delusions and fantasies." Zhang Xiao still finished speaking, "Clear all the content that has nothing to do with his original memory, and only then can his 'sea area' return to normal, and only then can it be possible to remember all the past events. stand up."

Qin Ge didn't move at all, he was still protesting stubbornly: "Mr. Zhang, Xie Zijing...he treats me...that's not a romantic fantasy, right?"

"Yes, it's not a love fantasy." Zhang Xiao looked at him seriously, "Qin Ge, it's not a fantasy, but it's a false memory forcibly fabricated by others. It's fake. You and him only met once at the sports meeting .Someone caught Xie Zijing's affection for you in his memory, so he used it to make a big fuss. Qin Ge, you have to be sober. Without destroying it, Xie Zijing's 'sea' cannot be rebuilt."

The young man clutching Qin Ge's palm suddenly flinched.He hastily stepped back a few steps, his expression terrified.

Panting, Qin Ge stood in the rain, in the endless ruins of Xie Zijing.It's better to land stars now, and it's better to start a fire here immediately.He didn't dare to think about what would happen after he left.

Zhang Xiao hugged him.

"...No...it's not fake." Qin Ge's voice was hoarse, and he squeezed out all his strength to say this sentence, "He loves me very much...it can't be fake."

*The engraved effect: The engraved effect was proposed by the developmental psychology researcher Zhu Mali in 1954. It refers to the situation in which a sentinel or guide is first induced by a desirable person to have a spiritual body or a complete spiritual body.After a large number of comparative studies in groups, Zhu Mali found that the limited memory function of the mental body is particularly prominent in the engraving effect.The spirit body makes a deep impression on the sentinel or guide that produces the engraving effect, and it will continue to strengthen. This impression will have a considerable impact on the bearer of the spirit body.The engraving effect is mostly seen in the induction of part of the spiritual body, and the phenomenon of inducing a complete spiritual body is very rare, and only one case has been seen so far.Since the engraving effect cannot be suppressed or eliminated, once it occurs, it is extremely difficult to weaken it, and many people resist it.Studies have shown that sentinels and guides who have had imprinting effects have shown extremely strong dependence, love and possessiveness on the elicitor.

The author has something to say: the engraving effect has played a huge role in the reverse, hehe.The stories of Gao Qiong and Zhang Xiao are also in reverse. (Darkly rubbing a hard square
