"And what?" Lou Feier's tone and hazy eyes made Xu Xin feel a little uneasy.
"Besides, in that illusory home, it seems... I have never been there..." Lou Feier looked at Xu Xin with a confused look in her eyes. "Anything related to me in my memory, in this illusion, is gone."
...What on earth is she talking about? She's so shocked.
Xu Xin was speechless. He had thought it was a big deal. "It was just an illusion, a dream. Did you take it seriously?"
"It's not a dream!" Lou Feier glared at him. "It's definitely not a dream, because I'm wide awake. I know I'm in the red mist cabin and I know I'm inhaling the red mist, but I can see everything clearly and even change my perspective! Moreover, I still remember everything that happened just now clearly. This is definitely not a dream!"
Lou Feier was a little excited.
"Okay, it's not a dream, so why are you so excited?" Xu Xin still didn't understand.
"Because... because I feel that everything I just saw wasn't an illusion, but a memory... buried deep in my mind..."
"Memory?" Xu Xin was stunned. "Isn't memory more normal? This red mist evokes your longing for home, is that what you mean?"
"Of course not!" Lou Feier stamped her feet, "This is not my memory at all!"
"Ah?" Xu Xin really wanted to spray water on her face to wake her up.
This is both memory and not memory. What the hell is this, Riddler?
"Listen to me!" Lou Feier was also anxious about her own ambiguous words. "What I mean is, this is not a memory I experienced on Earth! How should I put it, it's like... a memory from another parallel time and space!"
The more you talk, the more mysterious it becomes.
However, Xu Xin was able to summarize the meaning of her words.
What she meant was that the things in her hallucinations were too familiar to her, like memories, but such scenes were not something she had experienced before.
Deja vu?
Xu Xin shook his head and asked, "So, why do you feel this way?"
"Because, because..." Lou Feier's expression became a little panicked, "Because, this hallucination is about the home where I grew up. But in that familiar home, all traces of me have disappeared. The marks I carved on the door frame to measure my height, the countless patterns I carved on the table with a knife when I was naughty, and... anyway, they're all gone! And, and! My parents are discussing adopting a child. They also said it's a pity that they have never had children, and they want to adopt one, raise him up, and take care of him in their old age!"
Lou Feier's eyes held a hint of fear: "It's like... I've never existed... And, that scene was so real, so real that it felt like I was standing there watching it!"
"...You weren't adopted, were you? Did you see the scene before your parents adopted you?" Xu Xin said with a strange expression.
"No way!" Lou Feier was so angry that she laughed. "How can you ruin the atmosphere like this! I am definitely my mother's child. I look exactly like my parents! Besides, can't I tell my parents' age? In the hallucination just now, they were already in their fifties! That's how old they are now!"
Xu Xin didn't say anything, but fell into deep thought.
In fact, he had already understood what Lou Feier meant, and he kept interrupting her to ease the atmosphere. After all, Lou Feier's condition was a little bit off.
But what she said is indeed worth pondering.
In the red mist, she saw a world without her.
In that world, she wasn't dead, nor was she missing, but... she had never existed from the beginning.
Could it be that what she saw was the scene on Earth?
Perhaps, just as she had seen, no one on Earth today remembered them, the survivors who had traveled to this world. Everyone had forgotten them, their very existence erased, their memories and traces wiped out.
This guess is a bit creepy to think about.
However, it's just a guess.
"Are you really not talking nonsense?" Xu Xin glanced at Lou Fei'er suspiciously. He didn't quite believe what this woman said. "You didn't make this up just to scare me, did you?"
"You bastard!" The blood streaks on Lou Feier's face had just faded, but Xu Xin's anger had turned her face red again. "I've already signed a contract with you. There's no way I can lie to you!"
Who knows how strong this contract's true binding force is? Xu Xin curled his lips.
"...Don't think too much, it's just an illusion." Xu Xin came to a conclusion.
Although he felt that this matter might not be that simple, if it really concerned the Earth and their original home, then it would require long-term consideration. There would be no point in discussing it now and it would be a waste of time.
"You don't think that after inhaling so much red fog, you can see the earth, right?" Xu Xin spread his hands.
"Well...that's why I said, this is memory!" Lou Feier retorted.
She felt it was so real, so real that she felt like she was there.
"Whose memory is this? Yours? Since you don't even exist in your hallucinations, where did this memory come from? Did you see it while standing in the void?"
"Ah, this..." Lou Feier blinked.
"So, hallucinations are just hallucinations, just your imagination. This world is so strange, and it's normal to be able to see very real hallucinations when you inhale the red mist."
Xu Xin didn't want Lou Feier to be affected by this matter. She still had an important task to do tomorrow and couldn't be distracted by it.
"Is this... normal?" Lou Feier was a little shaken.
The scene she had just seen was too real, and it had indeed given her a great shock, even making her doubt whether she really existed. After hearing what Xu Xin said, she felt a lot more relieved.
"Okay, go back and rest. We still have things to do tomorrow."
"Oh, okay." Lou Feier took another look at the cabin, then turned and walked towards her tree house, muttering to herself, "Is it fake? Well, it should be... fake, right?"
Who knows whether it is true or not?
In short, live in the present.
