167: Chapter 167: mory Loss and Ice Coke 167: Chapter 167: mory Loss and Ice Coke Even the most hardcore gar wouldn’t load all their favorite gas onto their hard drive and then fill the desktop with ga icons.
There’s sothing called steam, where you can play or download at any ti.
The hard drive of a computer has more important uses.
The sa applies to human mory; theoretically, even if you have decades of complete life mories, you would still forget where you put your phone.
The brain does not save all mories but only retains extrely morable snippets, such as getting a mixed doubles scolding from parents for childhood mischiefs, failing to confess to the school beauty, losing a phone, a wallet, or an ID, or being verbally humiliated by the boss at work.
If accumulated enough, it turns into konjac jelly…
Knowing who you are, and being unable to recall past experiences, actually isn’t contradictory.
It’s normal to forget what your elentary school classmates looked like when you’re in college.
But if a significant mory, especially an impactful one, was forcibly removed, that would be concerning.
When Li Mumu recalled that senior, the gap in her mories imdiately alard her.
This was not her first ti discovering a major gap in her mory.
It wasn’t sothing trivial like forgetting where she put her phone, but as if she had spent all night talking to soone on the phone, only to wake up and find that person didn’t even exist in her WeChat contacts.
This was the opposite of the story told by the Grand Sorceress phistopheles Planck in the prelude of String Theory.
She mysteriously gained a mother.
Li Mumu, however, mysteriously lost so critical mories.
To be precise, mories from after she submitted her full-ti employnt application at the Special Affairs Bureau had disappeared completely.
Was it before the travel that these mories were erased?
Does that an I might have known about this trip, or even willingly travelled here?
Why, after arriving here, do I always mysteriously fall into the Outer Dinsion?
Why, after returning to the country, do people always try to get close to ?
Is it because I reported the Olympus smuggling case to the Special Service Bureau and they want to silence , or is there another reason?
I can’t think about this any longer, my brain feels like it’s cooking.
Li Mumu suited up in her armor, looked around, and found nothing handy for self-defense except the copper nails embedded in her gloves, which seed sowhat lethal.
The senior in her mory liked to dismantle Gundams with her bare hands; she really couldn’t do that herself.
She just hoped the Bodhisattva would give a little more strength and continue to protect her frail life.
Li Mumu thought to herself that after all these chaotic events ended, she would definitely go and offer incense and bow before the Bodhisattva.
She cautiously opened the door to peek out, and just like before, the corridor was empty.
But this ti, Li Mumu was wiser and carefully checked both the ceiling and behind the door again.
“Miss Li!
Are you awake?”
Just as she lingered hesitantly by the door, Sister Gu returned from outside.
She was even holding an unfinished sweater.
“Was it who woke you up earlier?
You slept for quite a long ti; I was a bit worried about you.”
Sister Gu, as warm-hearted as always, grabbed Li Mumu’s hand with a smile and asked, “Are you hungry?
Let take you to the cafeteria for so food.
If you don’t want to go out, I can also bring the food here for you.”
“No need, I’ll go to the cafeteria with you!
Uh…
I’ll just go change my clothes.”
Li Mumu promptly agreed.
Sister Gu was unconcerned, “No worries, wear this set; it’s chilly at night, don’t catch a cold.”
“It’s already May, and you want to strut around the building in this flashy leather jacket…”
However, thinking about the heavy woolen coats worn by the people in grey military uniforms, which seed to provide warmth, Li Mumu couldn’t be too critical.
Perhaps that’s just a local feature.
Following Sister Gu to the cafeteria — which was almost no different from the governnt office cafeterias of the future, Li Mumu noticed nothing along the way that connected to the mysterious elents you’d associate with the “Special Service Bureau.”
It was Li Mumu’s first visit, and without an employee badge or al card, she had to sit obediently aside, watching Sister Gu go to face-scan for the al.
It was already past eleven at night, yet the cafeteria was still bustling with steam, showing no signs of closing.
A few minutes later, Sister Gu ca back with a serving of double rice, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, Moo Shu pork, and a whole bowl of mutton and radish stew.
The milky white soup indeed looked tempting, and in this era, one didn’t have to worry about how many chemicals had been added, it was all high-quality mutton and white radish, with hardly any mutton sll.
In the heat of sumr, here I am in a leather jacket, sitting here drinking mutton soup… Tiann People really have their ways!
“Sister Gu, who was that at my door earlier?”
After eating a couple of grains of rice, Li Mumu tentatively asked.
“Wrong door, don’t worry about her.”
Sister Gu nonchalantly waved her hand, “You’re safe here.
This is the safest place.”
“But this morning at the police station, I seed to have encountered a similar situation.
Soone was standing at my door…”
Sister Gu frowned and thought for a mont, “This isn’t the first ti this has happened?
Then you should be a bit careful, I’ll ask around for you later.
Don’t worry about those things tonight…”
Just as she was saying this, a nurse ca over and whispered, “Section Chief Gu, our director sent to ask for another box of sedative, as tonight’s supply might get a bit tight.”
Sister Gu pursed her lips and clicked her tongue.
Li Mumu quickly said, “You go ahead, I’ll just eat and then go to sleep.
I won’t wander around and cause trouble.”
“Alright, then I won’t keep you company.”
Sister Gu nodded, got up, and hurried off with the nurse.
Li Mumu looked at the steaming hot mutton soup in front of her, finding it too hot to drink.
Really craving a cold cola…
Right, didn’t Sister Gu ntion there was a Western restaurant… or was it a fast food place right opposite the Special Service Bureau?
But I don’t have any money, not even sure where I threw my wallet.
Can I borrow from soone?
For young won of the future, this might not be a problem, but in this unfamiliar place, Li Mumu ultimately managed to suppress her inner turmoil.
Better to avoid trouble and not accidentally reveal my true self and get killed with nowhere to complain.
Choking down a few bites of rice with the shredded potatoes, Li Mumu felt her mouth growing drier.
She still didn’t want to drink the mutton soup and turned her head unconsciously searching for a water tap.
She wasn’t quite sure if there was cola in this era, as she hadn’t noticed these small details during her ti in Saifu.
If all else fails, just drink a few sips of tap water to fool myself, after all, young people have strong constitutions…
Clang.
As her mind wandered, a slender glass bottle filled with black liquid landed on the table in front of her.
Li Mumu’s eyes instantly widened.
Ice-cold coke!
