Ten Days End

"So what do you mean by "memories are different from others"? "

"It means my entire life." Yan Zhichun said, "This is not a difference in a certain thing or a certain detail... but a very confusing difference over many years..."

"This..." Doctor Zhao lowered his head and pondered for a while, and soon frowned, "I have never heard of this situation in the real world, but it does not mean that it cannot be explained."

"Can this also be explained by medical knowledge...?"

"It is not medical knowledge." Doctor Zhao sighed, "Miss, whether you believe it or not, the memories in all of our minds are all false now."

"Ah...?" Yan Zhichun and Jiang Ruoxue asked at the same time, "All false? !"

"No, no, no..." Doctor Zhao smiled, "Maybe I said it too scary, but the actual situation is like this. It seems that our brain helps us remember a lot of things. It stores many of our memories like a library, but the reality is that every brain will have errors when storing information. Some unimportant information or information that we have not observed will be subconsciously ignored by the brain. "

"Error...?" Yan Zhichun nodded, "Then how big is the range of this error?"

"Just some small details." Doctor Zhao said, "What's interesting is that when we retrieve these memories, the brain will "reconstruct" them according to the context, logic and other factors, so that the memory becomes complete."

"What...?" Yan Zhichun was slightly stunned, "You mean the brain has the ability to "self-repair" the incomplete memory...?"

"Yes, "self-repair", this word is good." Doctor Zhao smiled, "In fact, the so-called "Mandela effect" is that the human brain constantly rewrites past memories based on existing information and what happened in recent years, so that many people think that their memories are confused, but in fact, the memories of most people in this world are wrong, but the degree of error is different. "

"This is too abstract..." Yan Zhichun said, "You mean that all people can't believe their own memories... What's the difference between this and a madman? "

"No, no, no..." Doctor Zhao shook his head quickly after hearing this, "Miss, your point of view is the opposite. It is precisely because our brain can repair memory that we can ensure that we do not become crazy. "

"How do you say...?"

"Well... let me give you an example. " Doctor Zhao looked at the can beside him and said, "I clearly remember that I took the can off the shelf just now, but that shelf has a total of five layers. I only remember that the can was in the middle, but I forgot whether it was on the second, third or fourth layer. Do you understand this?"

"Yes." Yan Zhichun nodded, "I can understand this. You only remember that you took the can, but you didn't remember the location of the can carefully. "

"Yes." Doctor Zhao smiled, "My brain may tell me that this can is on the third layer of the shelf when I recall this incident a long, long time later. But in fact, it doesn't matter whether this can is on the third layer. It is just to make this memory complete. This is the "rationality" given to us by our brain. ”

“I still don’t understand…” Yan Zhichun frowned slowly, “What will happen if my brain doesn’t repair the information of this shelf?”

“Of course.” Dr. Zhao replied, “Take a computer as an example. If our brain is a sophisticated computer, if the location information of the shelf is lost, every time the brain recalls this incident, it will only tell you “You took the can from the void”, because you didn’t remember the detailed location, and your brain didn’t remember it either. If it can’t make up a reasonable reason, it can only tell you that it is “void” or “unknown”, which sounds like a computer game with a bug. If you read such a broken memory every time, you will feel crazy. ”

Dr. Zhao’s example is very simple, which made Yan Zhichun understand the principle of “memory repair” and even understand some things that happened to him.

"I seem to understand..." Yan Zhichun said, "Because there are a lot of gaps in my memory, my brain forcibly stitched these memories together in order to prevent me from going crazy. Although it looks very chaotic, at least it makes sense... Otherwise, I would only recall that I was constantly traveling in the "void"..."

She slowly narrowed her eyes, because in her memory Qinglong seemed to have said something similar, but no one expected that a madman like Qinglong would actually blurt out the truth.

"I guess this is the only explanation"Is it not the case that you have a memory disorder?" said Doctor Zhao. "Although I don't know what happened to you specifically, it is entirely possible that you have a memory disorder, especially some details..."

"It's not a matter of "details" anymore." Yan Zhichun interrupted, "Doctor Zhao, what is the most exaggerated repair you have ever heard of?"

"I have seen people who have forgotten the existence of their families." Doctor Zhao said, "What kind of memory the brain can repair depends entirely on the needs of the individual. Some post-traumatic sequelae can also cause the brain to "repair" painful memories directly. The principle is the same. Each of our brains is "alive" and it will repair according to different situations or different states of the individual. "

Yan Zhichun felt that the doctor in front of him was indeed capable, but it was a pity that she had underestimated him at the beginning.

"I see..." Yan Zhichun nodded after hearing this, "Thank you... Doctor Zhao."

Now she felt as if she had connected all those chaotic memories, including the time when she found her body in Bai Yang's office...

A sentence that Bai Yang said at that time made her care again:

"Why are you... now?" "

Logically speaking, for some reason, I was "copied" earlier, which led to me seeing my own body, which was beyond Aries's expectations, so the other party said this.

Not only did this sentence make people feel strange, but Aries also said several times in a row, "There is nothing here, you are seeing it wrong", which was also very strange. There was obviously a body there, why did Aries tell such a ridiculous lie?

He is Aries after all.

Thinking carefully, this should also be a hint he wanted to convey to his brain.

Unfortunately, this hint did not work, because seeing her own body was really impressive.

Even if she did not remember anything else in the room, she would remember that her body was lying there, so the brain did not repair this scene.

"If I can repair it normally, I will connect the memories together..." Yan Zhichun muttered to himself, "If I can't repair it... I will feel that I have "dizzy" for a while... It must be like this..."

Little did they know that while the few people were chatting, Chu Tianqiu was leaning against the door, listening to the conversation in the house thoughtfully.
