Suddenly, it seemed that points of faint light appeared.
The faint light grew more numerous and brighter, soon forming a field of light.
A bright space appeared before him with a large screen displaying a calendar.
Sugene opened his eyes and the space remained the same.
Whether his eyes were open or closed, it was like this.
It seemed that this was the effect of memory recollection kicking in.
The clerk's voice came.
Sir, you can now choose the date to recollect.
The date can be changed at any time.
I will temporarily leave and will not pry into or disclose your privacy so you can safely recollect.
After saying this, Sugene heard the sound of high heels walking away.
Then came the sound of a door opening and closing.
Sugene searched for a date and selected March 4th, 2074 at 7:05 p.
m.
That day was his 18th birthday.
His parents had prepared a feast for him to celebrate.
At that time, his father even opened a bottle of fine wine he had saved, wanted to have a toast with him.
His mother also poured half a glass to taste, but after just one sip, she choked and ended up pouring the rest into his father's glass.
He missed those carefree days.
Now, the first memory he wanted to recollect was that day.
Memory missing, unable to recollect.
Huh? What does that mean? Memory missing? What is missing? Suggene was very puzzled, but the screen in front of him kept displaying those eight words.
Suggene adjusted the date forward by 1 hour.
Memory missing, unable to recollect.
He adjusted it forward by 6 hours.
Memory missing, unable to recollect.
He adjusted it forward by 12 hours, 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year.
He adjusted it backward by 12 hours, 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year.
Memory missing, unable to recollect.
Memory missing, unable to recollect.
No matter how he adjusted the time, all memories were missing and could not be recollected.
Was there a problem with the equipment? At that moment, he heard the sound of a door opening and closing.
The sound of high heels approached.
Sir, don't worry.
The system just reported an anomaly.
I'll help you check it.
Sugene nodded.
Yes, all my memories show as missing.
Unable to recollect.
Don't worry.
I'll check it for you right now.
Sugene could hear the clerk operating next to the reclining chair.
H, that shouldn't be.
Let me take another look.
What is going on? It can't be.
Could it be real? What is happening? Is it a machine problem or an issue with my memory? The clerk shook her head.
I'm sorry, sir.
Please wait a moment.
I'll get our store manager to take a look.
You just lie here and don't worry.
Sugene sat up and asked, "Can I only see this wide interface right now? Can I exit first?" The clerk said, "You can exit, but if you do, we won't be able to troubleshoot the problem.
Would you like to exit now or wait a bit?" Sugene lay back down.
I'll wait.
Thank you.
Another series of high heels sounds followed, and this time the door did not close.
After a moment, the sound of two pairs of high heels approached.
Manager, it's this.
Hello, sir.
I'm the store manager.
I'm very sorry for the unpleasant experience you've had.
I'll check it for you immediately.
Please wait a moment.
Okay, no problem.
Suzie not the female manager sat in the chair next to the reclining chair and began adjusting the control panel.
The female manager was only a few dozen centimeters away from Sugene and he caught a familiar fragrance.
It was a warm scent.
This warm scent conjured up an image of a person in his mind.
Charming eyes, red lips, a full chest.
Linda, no, it wasn't her.
The voice of this female manager was different from hers.
It must just be a coincidence that she used the same perfume.
A few minutes later, the female manager side.
Sir, it's confirmed that it's not a problem with the machine.
It should be the state of your memory.
I'll help you exit now.
Please close your eyes and I'll explain to you afterwards.
My memory has a problem.
Sugene closed his eyes.
The light in the space dimmed.
Numerous black dark spots appeared, growing more and more until everything returned to pitch darkness.
You can open your eyes now.
Sugene opened his eyes.
It was still the same small room from before, luxuriously decorated.
There were two women nearby.
The one standing was the clerk from before, looking anxiously at him.
The woman sitting in the chair was slightly older, around 30 years old, and looked like an elegant and beautiful wealthy woman.
Sue Jean sat up.
What exactly is wrong with my memory? The clerk looked at the manager.
The manager said, "Sir, your memory indeed has serious deficiencies.
" just as the prompt indicated.
Su Jeene was puzzled.
That is impossible.
I just selected several memories like my birthday.
I clearly remember what happened at that time, but I still can't recollect.
The manager nodded.
Yes, sir.
I also saw those moments you mentioned in your memory just now, but those memories are not complete.
They are not continuous, more like disjointed images with long gaps of time in between, making it impossible to connect them.
I still don't quite understand.
The manager nodded.
