"Why?"
The horse fork worm was confused.
They've traced back so many times, and this is the first time this has happened!
"What's going on? Is the machine broken?"
At this moment, the female doctor next to him spoke:
"It seems that something has affected the client's memory, resulting in the inability to form specific images."
Yes, everything the players experienced before was built on John’s memory.
Without memories, there are no scenes.
"But it doesn't matter,"
The female doctor waved her hand:
"This is a memory from John's childhood and doesn't mean much to us,"
"The next step was to instill in John the desire to become an astronaut and, essentially, fulfill his desire to go to the moon."
As soon as these words came out!
The horse fork worm frowned, looking disapproving.
Because in his opinion, this matter is far from over.
What does the yellow and blue rabbit represent?
Where did the platypus that has always been with the stream come from?
Why are lighthouses so important?
What does Xiaoxi want to express by spending half her life on origami?
besides!
The most important thing!
Why on earth did Old John have to go to the moon?!
The horse fork worm is puzzled!
Because from the beginning of the game to now, in the entire story, neither Old John nor Creek has ever mentioned anything about "going to the moon"!
So theoretically speaking, Old John's dying wish should not have anything to do with the moon!!!
The horse fork worm had a premonition that the answers to countless questions were just around the corner!
But unexpectedly!
At this moment, the female doctor revealed the real purpose of this memory recall -
According to company regulations and the instructions of Executive Vice President Sam, whether it is this business or any other business!
As builders, the only thing they have to do is to complete the contract strictly in accordance with the employer's requirements!
That is to say, from the very beginning, the company's instruction to the female doctor was not to "find the reason why old John went to the moon", but to "forcibly implant the desire to go to the moon in him when he was a child" in order to complete the contract and take the money and leave!!!
As soon as these words came out!
The barrage was immediately filled with curses!
Lines of comments like "Gu Sheng, you old thief, you have done such evil things" floated by!
But despite this, facing the female PhD who was one level higher than him in official rank, Ma Chachong had no choice but to accept the company's arrangement.
According to the original plan, John was to be instilled with the dream of becoming an astronaut and landing on the moon since he was a child.
They inserted an astronomy course into John's primary school.
Make astronomy an extracurricular activity.
Replace the posters at the movie theater John frequents with one about NASA recruitment.
All movies were replaced with aerospace themes.
Even, a space agency recruitment was arranged for John when he was in high school!
However, unexpectedly, despite their best efforts!
But John's life trajectory has not changed at all!
From the beginning to the end, John had no interest in space travel at all!
Going to the moon? Screw it!
The horse fork worm was numb immediately!
He couldn't understand!
A person who has no interest in 'going to the moon' in his life!
His dying wish was to go to the moon?!
"no……"
In the end, the horse fork worm was desperate and even a little bit embarrassed:
"Brother, what's the matter with you? You've never had any interest in the moon in your life! How come you suddenly want to go to the moon when you're old?!"
Ma Chachong didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and the barrage was also outrageous--
"This is too outrageous. You can never guess how the old thief will design the plot."
'This is a fucking logical paradox!'
"I have a feeling that old Biden is clenching his fist!"
'The big one is coming, isn't it?'
'I feel like I'm getting very close to the truth'
'It must be behind this corrupted memory fragment!'
'Ahhhhh I can't stand it anymore, brother, please tell me what's going on, brother, I will never make trouble again, brother, please, wuwuwu (roll over)'
"Mom's advice is to investigate it carefully. It doesn't seem like an act..."
“Hahahahahaha…”
And just when everyone was saying that they couldn’t guess it, they couldn’t guess it at all!
Boom boom!
Suddenly!
Then a red light flashed on the screen!
Following right on!
The doctor suddenly sent a message -
[Bad news, two doctors, you have to speed up]
[The patient's condition suddenly worsened and he can't hold out for much longer]
The sudden deterioration of the situation caught everyone off guard!
“Fuck!”
Ma Chachong, who was originally looking at the barrage with a dilemma, suddenly stopped laughing and straightened up instantly!
Because at this point in the game, he has already invested his full attention!
And now!
The truth is only one step away from you!
Old John can't hold on any longer!
no!
If I don’t get an ending today, not only will Old John not be able to rest in peace, even I will die with my eyes!
Think of this!
The forkworm immediately pushed the joystick and started racing against death, racing against time!
Yes!
Since they can't force Old John to go to the moon willingly through forced implantation, they can only start from the source!
The female doctor continued to try to find out why old John's wish implant failed.
The horse fork worm contacted the company and asked the head office for a solution to the problem of memory loss.
After some discussion at the head office, a piece of core code for memory architecture reorganization was sent to them remotely.
According to this code, they will have the opportunity to reawaken old John's deep memories and complete the supplement of this missing memory.
However, the prerequisite is to find something that smells the same as the one in the void chaos to serve as a guide.
What a coincidence!
The thing that can serve as a guide is exactly the squirrel that was accidentally run over by the horse fork worm at the very beginning of the game!
Next second!
Zoom!!!
As white light flashed, time successfully went back and the sound of children's laughter was heard.
At this point, they had arrived at John's childhood.
As the laughter sounded, the horse fork worm and the female doctor saw little John, who was only six or seven years old.
At this moment, he was kicking the ball and running past the two of them.
However!
Little John, who was so absorbed in playing football, didn't notice the approaching danger at all.
He ran after the ball and came behind his mother's car.
The mother, who was reversing the car, didn't even notice little John at the rear of the car.
"Why--!!!"
BANG!!!
The tragedy happened in an instant!
Both the horse fork worm and the female doctor were dumbfounded, staring blankly at John's screaming mother rushing out of the car, squatting beside little John covered in blood, and shouting for help.
The sudden change made everyone feel nervous.
"Could it be that John lost his memory because of this car accident?"
However, at this moment.
But then another childish scream was heard!
It all started with this scream!
The whole game started with one shocking twist after another!
All the truth, all the feelings, all the answers will be revealed——
…
Look in the direction of the scream.
The pupils of the forkworm suddenly dilated!
However, the one running over at this moment was the real John!
The name of the child that the mother called out in her urgent cry for help was "Joey"!
A moment!
The scene from the wedding that day flashed through the mind of the horse fork worm -
At the wedding, John's mother called him "Joey".
Previously, John explained that this was his grandfather's name and his mother often called him by it as a nickname.
But now it looks like!
The situation is far more horrific than John described!
A tragedy!
Little John not only lost his twin brother, but also suffered severe psychological trauma as he witnessed such a tragedy!
So, in order to make her son forget this tragic scene, John's mother fed him a large amount of beta-blockers!
This will make him lose his memory and forget this bloody and tragic scene!
The sudden and wonderful development of the plot even caught Ma Chach Chong off guard!
However, what he didn't know was that the god-level plot of going to the moon had just begun!!!
Full of shock and disbelief!
Zoom!
A white light flashed and time moved forward.
The time came to a few months before little brother Joey had the accident.
The amusement park was bustling with people and laughter.
Mom held Joey, and Joey held little John.
Just now, the two brothers played a game of whack-a-mole.
Little brother Joey won a beautiful car.
But Little John's gift was very bad.
But brother Joey is still very good to his younger brother.
"It's okay, John. I'll give you the car when I get back."
Joey secretly comforted Little John:
"Or... next year, wait until next year, I will definitely win you another car, a brand new car!"
"Well... okay..."
Little John pouted, still a little unhappy:
"It seems that this is the only way."
As they spoke, the family of three came to the tables and chairs next to the playground to rest.
Children's energy is always endless.
Little John made the excuse that he wanted to play on the swings, and walked towards the back hill of the amusement park while kicking stones in a depressed mood.
The horse fork worm quickly followed.
After all the suspense has been brewing!
The truth has arrived at the door, gently raised his hand and knocked on the door!!!
…
Little John came to the back mountain alone , found a tree stump and jumped on it, looking up at the sky with his little face in his hand with a depressed look.
At this moment, night falls and the sky is filled with stars.
The moon is like a beacon among thousands of stars, emitting a soft and cool light.
All around, insects chirped and everything was silent.
Swish——
Suddenly, the horse fork worm heard footsteps coming from behind.
The next second, a little girl with orange-red hair, a calm and cold face, and wearing a blue dress walked into the picture.
A moment.
The horse fork worm felt that its heart skipped a beat!
Because the person coming was Xiaoxi!
He thought their acquaintance started from a chance encounter in high school.
The audience thought that the two people’s acquaintance began with a chance encounter in high school.
Even John himself thought that encounter in high school was the first time he saw Xiaoxi!
But actually it is not!
More than ten years ago!
When they were still children!
The two had already met in the back hills of this amusement park!
This is where !
Hearing footsteps behind him, Little John turned around and saw Xiaoxi who was in a daze.
The next second, Xiaoxi, who was born with autism, turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey! Wait! Wait..."
Little John jumped off the stump and followed the creek:
"Hello... I'm... My name is John, what's your name?"
The stream was silent for a moment:
"You took my place."
"Oh... is this...uh...your place?"
Facing Xiaoxi's "accusation", Little John seemed a little at a loss:
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to monopolize this place."
"So...would you like to sit there with me?"
John was obviously much bolder when he was a child than when he was in high school. He spoke without restraint and openly invited Xiaoxi to watch the moon together.
Under the bright moon, there are countless stars——
The little boy supported himself on the wooden stake with his hands, and the little girl sat beside him, with their two tender little heads raised, looking at the starry sky.
…
"You know, there are countless lights in the sky."
Little John looked at the stars in the dark blue sky.
"Um."
The stream tried hard to respond to John.
"You just said this place is yours? Do you come here often?"
"Only at Easter."
"You don't like crowds... Actually, I don't like them either."
"Um."
"By the way, you haven't told me your name yet!"
Speaking of this, Xiaoxi seemed a little embarrassed.
"I won't tell you... People at school laughed at it for being so corny."
Little John shrugged:
"Well... okay, but... no matter what, he can't be more ordinary than 'John'..."
"But what's wrong with being ordinary?"
Xiaoxi said:
"I want to have a name like ordinary people, just for once."
"Just like the stars in the sky, although they are all similar, they are all equally beautiful..."
Seeing this, the audience's noses were all sore.
Xiaoxi also knows that he has serious mental illness.
The disease prevents her from expressing what is on her mind.
If it were really possible, how much she wished she could be an "ordinary person" like John.
After a moment of silence, Xiaoxi mustered up the courage and asked:
“Have you ever tried… outlining the Easter Bunny with stars?”
Little John was confused: "Is it like looking for a constellation? I've never looked for a rabbit before..."
"Well... do you want to try it?" Xiaoxi asked tentatively.
[Okay! We will definitely find the best rabbit ! ]
As he spoke, Little John waved his little fist:
"Let's see who can find it faster! Three... two... one!"
"I found it."
“Uh…uh???”
Little John suspected that Creek had cheated but had no evidence.
I scratched my head awkwardly: "Where is it..."
"Right there..." Xiaoxi looked up at the sky.
Following the stream’s gaze, Little John was stunned for a moment: “Wait…wait!”
His eyes suddenly lit up!
"I think I found it... There it is!"
Little John pointed excitedly at the twinkling stars in the sky!
"See that rabbit? Tell me about it?"
Xiaoxi was also very happy because this was the first time she found a friend who resonated with her.
"Those are its two ears and head!"
Little John said excitedly.
The stream smiled, as bright as the moon in the sky:
"What else?"
"And there...those are its two legs!"
"What else?"
"Its head is round and its ears are long!"
"Exactly! Anything else?"
"And...and the moon!"
Little John became more and more excited as he talked!
[The moon! It's its round belly! ]
This moment!
The horse fork worm just felt a tingling sensation on his scalp!
Because this is exactly the question Xiaoxi has been asking John all his life, and even when he was critically ill, he was still asking John the question!
She is persistent, even paranoid!
She asked her lover again and again - what exactly is that blue rabbit with a yellow belly?
And now!
The answer finally appeared in front of everyone!
That's not just origami.
It was the most amazing Rabbit constellation that they had found together in the night sky, and it belonged only to them!!!
This is the answer that Xiaoxi has been wanting to hear for half his life!
pity.
John lost his memory due to taking a large amount of beta blockers.
Xiaoxi herself was born with autism and cannot describe it accurately.
So she folded paper over and over again, asked questions over and over again, and John answered them over and over again!
Like two parallel lines that can never be compared.
They accompanied each other throughout their lives, but also let huge regrets fill their entire lives!
A moment!
Both players and spectators felt their eyes warmed!
But what they don't know is.
There are more tear-jerking plots than just this!
Why did Old John insist on going to the moon?
The answer has quietly emerged...
