Chapter 7 Memory Abyss In this world, I only believe in evidence and...
In the restaurant, Gu Yifeng handed her the menu: "Take a look and see what you like to eat. The dishes here are good."
"Are you treating?" Wen Yi asked with a raised eyebrow.
Gu Yifeng raised his chin and signaled her to do as she pleased.
Wen Yi was not polite and took the menu and ordered everything she wanted to eat: "Fuqi Feipian, Braised Duck, Mouth-watering Chicken, Longjing Shrimp, Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs, Squirrel Fish, ..."
While ordering food, she complained in her heart: You wanted to treat me, so I’m going to make you bleed a lot of money today.
Thinking of the humiliation of being caught on the spot by Gu Yifeng, Wen Yi gritted her teeth and flipped through the menu. When she saw the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for 8xx yuan, she clapped her hands - "I want this too!"
Finally, the waiter asked cautiously, "Miss... can you two finish it?"
"If you can't finish it, you can pack it up." Wen Yi deliberately asked, "Director Gu wouldn't be so stingy, right?"
Gu Yifeng raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Of course. The yellow croaker noodles in Yunhu City are very famous. Would you like to try it, Miss Wen?" He recommended it casually.
"I don't eat noodles!" She refused without even looking up.
Gu Yifeng's grip on the cup suddenly tightened.
"Director Gu?" Wen Yi waved the menu. "Is it okay to add another serving of fermented rice balls?"
"It's up to you." Gu Yifeng nodded in response, but his eyes were always on her.
Wen Yi deliberately ordered dishes of various flavors, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
Since she came down the mountain, she has been either kidnapped or interrogated. She has suffered a lot and has not even had a decent meal.
Now I can finally sit down and enjoy the daily life.
As she flipped through the menu, she glanced at Gu Yifeng sitting across from her. He never ordered anything, but just looked at her quietly, as if observing her every move.
Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Director Gu, aren't you going to order any food?"
"Just order whatever you want." He said calmly, then suddenly changed his tone, "Miss Wen... do you like southern food?"
Wen Yi was stunned. She had clearly ordered a table full of local delicacies. How did Gu Yifeng guess that?
She deliberately didn't answer and asked instead: "Don't you like... Southern food?"
This question sounds a bit abrupt, even a little tentative.
But Gu Yifeng's expression did not change, he just smiled faintly: "I won't hate anything you like."
Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, and her heart seemed to be hit gently, beating rapidly.
She quickly lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
Gu Yifeng looked at her thoughtfully, as if he had already planned something.
The dishes were served quickly. Looking at the dazzling array of dishes in front of her, Wen Yi's mood also improved and she was the first to pick up the chopsticks.
"That stalker just now..." Wen Yi glanced around and lowered her voice, "Was he coming for me?"
Gu Yifeng calmly picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it into Wen Yi's bowl: "No matter who you come at, the result will be the same."
Wen Yi raised her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up: "Director Gu is so confident?" A shallow dimple was faintly visible on her cheek.
Gu Yifeng's gaze involuntarily fell on her dimples, his heartbeat paused slightly, and then he silently looked away.
"Eat your meal in peace." He took the teapot and poured tea for her, saying in a low voice, "Don't think too much."
"Thank you." Wen Yi thanked him softly and stepped back. Her elbow accidentally touched the arm of the man sitting behind her.
In an instant, the familiar air flow surged around her again.
Her vision was instantly torn to pieces, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.
"Wen Yi? Wen Yi! What's wrong with you?" Gu Yifeng's voice came and went.
Her consciousness shuttled between the light cones and finally disappeared into a certain point of light.
What's going on? Could it be that she can not only witness the experiences of the dead, but also read the memories of the living? It turns out that as long as she touches the target, she can enter their memory world.
When she opened her eyes, the bright sunshine made her unable to help but close her eyes slightly.
“Puff—”
The shovel sank into the soil, making a dull sound that echoed in the silent wilderness.
Wen Yi's vision gradually became clear, and she was standing in a wilderness.
There are knee-high weeds all around, tall trees in the distance, and occasional sounds of wind and birdsong.
Following her line of sight, she saw herself digging another shovel, mechanically repeating the process of digging, and a deep pit was almost completed.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her outfit: sportswear, large running shoes. If it weren't for the shovel in her gloved hand, she would have thought she was just going for a morning run in the woods.
There was no expected fight or struggle, no screams or blood, only the monotonous and mechanical sound of digging.
This posture doesn't seem like a victim, but more like...
The next second, his gaze turned to the side, and a pale hand hung among the dead branches and leaves.
Wen Yi's breathing stopped.
A silent man lay on the ground on his side, his hair half covering his face, wearing long-sleeved shirt and long pants that were inappropriate for the season.
Dark red bloodstains were found on the exposed wrists and ankles.
“Pah—”
Wen Yi threw down the shovel, and dust flew and landed on the man's messy hair.
She saw herself walking calmly to the corpse, grabbing his collar roughly and pulling hard.
“Bang—”
The dull sound of the body falling to the ground made Wen Yi tremble all over.
A gust of wind picked up a few leaves, which spun in the air a few times and gently covered the corpse.
She finally understood what happened - this time, she actually followed the murderer's perspective, and went from being immersed in being killed to being immersed in killing and disposing of the body.
Her abilities are still too comprehensive.
However, the murderer's behavior is not very logical. Who would dump a corpse while jogging in the morning?
Isn't he worried about being seen?
Digging the pit, throwing the body away, every step was done with terrifying calmness. Such psychological quality is creepy.
When Wen Yi was caught off guard, the murderer jumped into the pit, stood on both sides of the corpse's head, and slowly squatted down.
A spider suddenly emerged from the broken leaves and quickly crawled across the murderer's shoes.
Wen Yi has been afraid of spiders since she was a child. She was almost scared to death at this moment, but she was trapped in this body and couldn't even close her eyes.
She could only watch as "her own" hands fiercely pulled up the man's messy hair, revealing the gray face hidden beneath the hair.
The face of the deceased suddenly became clear in front of her!
Suddenly, her consciousness seemed to hit a transparent barrier and was violently bounced back, as if some higher-dimensional force was forcibly expelling her.
Thousands of light cones shattered in the void, and Wen Yi fell chaotically in the tunnel of time and space.
She saw herself floating above the restaurant, looking down as if from another world.
Gu Yifeng sat opposite "another her". "She" held her forehead and lowered her head, and the chopsticks in her hand were slowly slipping from her fingertips.
The next moment, consciousness finally returned to the body.
"Hmm..." Wen Yi groaned and pressed her solar plexus. This feeling was different from before... Was it ability rejection?
The energy that had not yet been fully recovered flowed and entangled between "her" fingers, and the air seemed to fluctuate. "Crack", the chopsticks were suddenly bent, broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.
The temperature around seemed to drop by several degrees, the hot tea cooled instantly, and a thin layer of frost quietly condensed on the wall of the cup.
At the same time, Gu Yifeng's watch screen flashed a red warning: [Grade 0.2 Gravitational Distortion]
Gu Yifeng's pupils suddenly shrank, his gaze quickly fell on her, and then swept over the cup of tea that had long lost its temperature.
He put down the teacup, his expression returned to normal, and asked calmly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wen Yi didn't have time to answer and turned around suddenly - the man behind her had left at some point, and only a crushed can was left on the table.
"Where did the person behind me go?" she turned around and asked anxiously.
Gu Yifeng glanced towards the restaurant entrance and said, "They've already left. What happened?"
Wen Yi didn't know how to explain, and subconsciously wanted to chase after him. Then she said to Gu Yifeng, "I'm going to the bathroom."
When she hurried out of the restaurant, the man had already disappeared in the crowd.
Still a step too late!
Huge disappointment and the discomfort after the supernatural power was triggered hit Wen Yi at the same time, and she felt a strong dizziness.
The tip of my nose felt hot and thick blood gushed out.
Wen Yi covered her nose in panic and searched her whole body but couldn't find a tissue.
"I remember the restaurant's bathroom is not here." Gu Yifeng appeared beside her at some point and handed her a tissue with an expressionless face.
"I... took the wrong way." Wen Yi took the tissue awkwardly.
"Miss Wen seems to be prone to getting angry easily. It's better for her to eat some light dishes." There was no emotion in his tone.
Wen Yi went back to the dining table and found that the pair of chopsticks she had used was gone.
The waiter quickly brought a new pair, but she just held it in her hand and didn't pick up the chopsticks for a long time.
Gu Yifeng seemed unaffected and refused to mention anything about what had just happened.
She took a few bites without appreciating the food, and frequently stole glances at Gu Yifeng across from her.
Would he ask her to explain her behavior? Would he believe her if she made up an excuse?
The delicacies on the jade plate had no appeal at this moment. Wen Yi gently put down her chopsticks, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Gu Yifeng put down his chopsticks and glanced at her sharply: "Ms. Wen, have you made up an excuse?"
Wen Yi was choked when she was about to speak. Can this guy read minds?
"You...don't have anything to ask me?" She grabbed the teacup guiltily, her fingertips trembling slightly.
"If you haven't figured out how to explain it, you can choose not to say anything." Gu Yifeng poured her tea, "But I won't tolerate lies."
Wen Yi tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingers. After thinking for a moment, she asked tentatively, "Can I... ask Director Gu for a favor first?"
"explain."
"Can you help me find the man who was sitting behind me just now?"
Their eyes met again, and Gu Yifeng stared at the tip of her bloody nose: "I need a sufficient reason."
"He...is not a good person."
"The reasons are not sufficient."
She took a deep breath and said, "I just recalled his memory and he might be involved in a murder case."
The next moment, Gu Yifeng suddenly raised his hand to signal the waiter to pay the bill: "Let's go."
"Where...where?"
"Find clues and evidence. If it's true as you said, hand the case over to the local police as soon as possible."
"You...you just trust my judgment so much?" Wen Yi looked at him in disbelief, "Because I'm a registered user with special abilities?"
"In this world, I only believe in evidence..." Gu Yifeng lowered his eyes and looked at her meaningfully, "and the answer you give."
Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, and a strange warmth arose in her heart.
Gu Yifeng didn't say anything else. His right hand, which was in his trouser pocket, gently stroked a pair of twisted and broken chopsticks, his eyes slightly gloomy.
The restaurant manager wiped his sweat and pushed the POS machine in front of Gu Yifeng: "I'm really sorry, the system can't find the payment record of that customer..."
"Where's the restaurant's surveillance equipment?"
"I don't know what's going on, it's like nothing happened today!" The manager became increasingly embarrassed. "Really? It's not like this usually!"
Wen Yi and Gu Yifeng looked at each other. Anyone who could erase the data so easily was definitely not an ordinary person.
Maybe from the very beginning, the man deliberately sat behind Wen Yi. What did he want to do?
Wen Yi did not express her suspicions, as she was not sure whether this was a mutual test between people with the same abilities.
Gu Yifeng had already taken out his cell phone: "Xiao Gao, I need your help with something. Come quickly."
Wen Yi and Gu Yifeng walked into the restaurant's backstage office together.
Soon, Gao Yiyuan pushed the door open and walked in, holding a laptop in his hand.
"The surveillance system has been cleared?" he asked as he sat down, a little annoyed in his tone.
Gu Yifeng nodded: "The hotel's surveillance system and payment records have been completely erased."
"This guy has clean hands." He clicked his tongue and tapped his fingers rapidly on the keyboard.
Gu Yifeng stood aside with his arms folded, his eyes cold: "Is there any solution?"
"Others might not be able to do it, but for me, nothing is impossible." Gao Yiyuan smiled confidently and pulled up the interface of a live streaming platform. "No matter how powerful he is, he can't hack into everyone's phone. This store has been very popular recently, and many internet celebrities have been checking in. I just searched all the live broadcast recordings of tonight..."
"Just wait and see!" Gao Yiyuan snapped his fingers triumphantly. "This guy thought he could erase all traces, but he forgot that everyone is a walking surveillance camera now."
The live replay quickly skipped ahead, finally freezing at 07:12:45.
The camera swept across a corner of the restaurant, and a man in black wearing thin-framed glasses was fiddling with his mobile phone with his head down. The moment he looked up was captured by the camera.
