Chapter 36
As the ga continued to progress, Dong Zhen began to feel more and more uncomfortable, as if dreading what was to co.
But the two doctors, Eva and Neil, were determined to see their task through. They were still seeking to fulfill their contractual obligations and have Johnny end up on the moon at so point.
As the mory hops continued, the two ended up finding out why Johnny wanted to woo River in the first place.
It is because Johnny sees River as a special existence, because she stands out from the crowd and can be considered unique.
This was obviously not sothing one wanted to hear from a significant other. And even Nicholas voiced his disapproval after Johnny revealed this to him.
[ I feel sorry for River ][ Johnny has suddenly beco annoying ][
1 selfish devil for sale ][ But sothing still feels off, maybe theres more to it? ]
The chat began fervently discussing, but Dong Zhens attention was still enraptured by the ga.
Johnny here was indeed being very selfish, he could even say it was annoying. But Dong Zhen still couldnt help but feel like sothing was missing.
According to the previous segnts, Johnny eventually confessed this information to River, but it still didnt explain the origami rabbits.
You could say this was Rivers way of retaliation to Johnny, but that seed far-fetched. After all, they ended up being truly in love.
More mory hops, and the two made it to see a much younger Johnny.
He was leaving for school, and just like at his wedding, his mother does not call him Johnny, but Joey.
Later, Eva and Neil used a football as a dium to continue hopping. But this ti it was different.
Dong Zhen, who was now wrapped up in a thick blanket and comfortably reclining, leaned forward in surprise.
What awaited the two doctors was a vast expanse of white nothingness. And at the sa ti, the two could sll the heavy stench of roadkill.
There seems to be a problem with Johnnys childhood mories.
Seeing no way forward, Eva and Neil decided to work with what they already gathered. And proceed with the process of implanting Johnny with the dream of becoming an astronaut.
However, players would be unhappy with what the two were doing. How could they choose to skip over such an interesting mystery?
How did Johnnys mories get damaged? What secrets would those mories hold? You cant just ignore this!
Dong Zhen was also unhappy. He was much more interested in this mystery than in going to the moon.
Based on how the ga is playing out, he had a hunch that all the previous secrets would be explained and revealed in Johnnys childhood.
But these two doctors with their huge brains were very persistent, stopping at nothing to achieve their goals.
What followed was a very humorous compilation of the two trying desperately to instill the wish.
They added astronomy lessons to his school days, they gave inspirational speeches, they even changed the films in his mories to be space related.
They went into nearly every single significant mory to place hints about being an astronaut, but the results were beyond their expectations.
None of these caused any amount of change in the latest mories. And in many of the subconscious mories, Johnny expressed having no interest in space travel. He had never even thought of going to the moon.
But then how do you explain his last wish? Why did such
a person even want to go to the moon? What is it about the moon that has attracted his attention?
Ti was running out, Johnnys body could not take much more.
So if his wish was to be fulfilled, his incomplete childhood mories may be the key.
The two agreed to take a break and exit the mories.
Neil went to make a few calls to HQ to see if they could help in any way. While Eva took a seat near the lighthouse to organize her thoughts on the matter.
If there is truly nothing wrong with the machine, then going to the moon is obviously a secondary wish, related to sothing greater or more important.
So there was sothing else fueling this desire, another condition that would change his wish.
She thought back to River, and the role she played in Johnnys life. Theyd been together for a long ti, so she obviously must have influenced this desire.
While Eva was deep in her thoughts, Neil had successfully gathered so extra information from his calls.
Apparently, Johnny was administered a large dose of enhanced beta-blockers as a child. These dications can cause mory issues by interfering with chemical ssengers in the brain.
But this doesnt an the mories are completely erased, they are simply hidden and subconsciously ignored.
So in order for the machine to access these hidden mories, they will need sothing to trigger the subconscious.
At this point, Dong Zhen began to connect the dots.
The sll of roadkill Didnt Neil run over that squirrel in the beginning? And Eva was complaining about the strong sll earlier too. Well use the dead squirrel to trigger the mories!
Wow, so this was all set up from the beginning of the ga. It was all planned, thats pretty cool.
I see, so this squirrel was fated to die! It was the will of the heavens! Chat, co thank the squirrel for its outstanding contribution.
[ Squirrel : No problem, thank you ][ Best worst character award : The squirrel ][ RIP ][ o7 o7 o7 o7 o7 o7 o7 ]
Apart from a few troublemakers, most of the viewers were just like Dong Zhen. Ready and eager to see what Johnnys childhood mories contain.
Soon the scent of roadkill was collected from the squirrel and brought to Johnny, triggering a chaotic reaction.
It was a very confusing segnt, where different points of ti seed to overlap. The two doctors saw more than one little Johnny playing on the street.
Among them, Dong Zhen notices that one of them is playing with a football, just like the football nto that first brought them here.
After searching high and low but finding nothing, Eva seed to realize sothing and led the rush back to the place where they first hopped in.
At the sa ti, Johnnys mother had just finished her visit with so neighbors. She got in the car and got ready to leave.
No one noticed little Johnny chasing his football to the back of the car.
There was a loud bang, and the sound of sothing wet being dropped on the pavent.
Whats this? Johnny had a car accident? Is this why he lost his mories? But what about the beta-blockers?
There were lingering doubts, but like Neil, Dong Zhen also believed that it was Johnny who was hit by the car.
But in the next mont, the real Johnny appears.
The doubts were answered, he had a twin!
