Chapter 26

Chapter 26

At Darren's suggestion, Yu Tang stays at home and works these days.

He didn't know exactly what happened, but when he saw the overly concerned looks from his colleagues and employees at W&P, he vaguely realized that there might be something big happening outside that was closely related to him.

Yu Tang had no intention of finding out about this matter.

During the psychological suggestion therapy, the psychological counselor actually had two in-depth conversations with Yu Tang after fully determining his ability to bear it.

The psychological counselor told Yu Tang that many people spent a lot of thought on him during this treatment, and many people did a lot for him.

If Yu Tang wants to be worthy of these people and the kindness bestowed upon him, the most important thing to do is not to look back.

Don't look back, don't explore your own memories, don't let yourself sink back into that kind of life.

Yutang got up very early today, made fried eggs, thick toast and fried sausages, and cooked a bowl of Supreme Crab Fillet, Rice Cake, Tofu, Luncheon Meat, Green Vegetable and Cheese Instant Noodles.

He was not used to leisure, but he really had nothing to do. He finished a remote video conference with colleagues in the department and took a nap in the sunshine on the thick carpet.

The air was very good at night. Yu Tang checked the refrigerator, reported to Darren, and went to the supermarket to stock up on ingredients for the next few days.

The vegetables and fruits in the discount section are also good and very fresh, but there were some bumps during transportation. After peeling them back, they can be cooked again, but the price is much cheaper.

Pushing the cart, Yu Tang hesitated in front of a bag of potatoes and three tomatoes. When he was about to pick one to take away, he suddenly noticed a figure walking in front of him.

Yu Tang raised his head.

He couldn't see clearly the person coming, and a hand stopped his shopping cart, blocking his way.

"Assistant Yu."

The man stopped him and refused to move forward: "Long time no see, would you like to chat at the coffee shop next to me?"

"……system."

Yu Tang thought in his mind: "Can't I just settle the bill before leaving? That bag of potatoes is in very good condition. I saw someone else took it away."

According to the new exemption part deduced from the character, he could have kept in mind the psychiatrist's instructions, ignored the other person and turned around and left.

But the visitor was obviously very well prepared. As soon as he noticed that Yu Tang looked conflicted, he took out a list.

The system was not willing to give up. It flashed a small red light and added BGM to the long shot of the bag of potatoes: "OOC, host."

That list was made by Yu Tang himself.

Even though he has completely forgotten why he made such a list, what the purpose of this list is, and he can't remember the appearance of any of the people on it... he still remembers it.

The first person on the list has a wife who is in poor health and a child who is in the third year of high school and is an art student.His grades were top-notch, and his paintings won many awards. However, the paint was ridiculously expensive, and laymen like them stared at the quoted prices.

The second one has parents to support, and his parents’ parents are also there.The old man has a strong body, but he is too old and his brain is no longer very clear. He always runs away from home alone and cannot do without someone to take care of him all year round. All the expenses are shouldered by one person.

The third one is a little girl who comes from an ordinary family and has a younger brother at home. She was sent to a relative's home for foster care when she was a child. When she grew up, she came to the imperial capital to work hard.I work very hard. My ideal is to no longer have to live in the basement and can rent a single room with a window.

…

These are very ordinary people. Their fate is neither good nor bad. They are not so miserable that they can't endure it anymore, and they can still move forward.

But just a little unplanned twists and turns may destroy all the peace in their lives.

The man asked him: "Do you remember these people?"

"These people are about to be fired. Not only them, but the entire studio will be disbanded. The studio they are in has had troubles, and no one will want it."

The man spoke to him slowly in his ear: "It's because of you..."

Yu Tang took the list, put down the trolley, and followed him out of the supermarket.

…

In the most inconspicuous corner of the coffee shop, in a particularly quiet booth, there were three cups of slightly cold coffee on the table.

There was another person sitting.

He was tightly wrapped, wearing sunglasses and a mask, with his collar turned up, and it was almost impossible to distinguish any facial features.

"The host is Ke Ming!"

The system first analyzed the person's appearance and flashed the red light in surprise: "Why did Ke Ming come to us on his own? Isn't he afraid of being exposed?"

Yu Tang said: "He is afraid, but he can only do it by himself."

The system is puzzled: "Why?"

Yu Tang found a piece of information and clicked on the underlined part.

The kind of psychological suggestion given to him by the psychological counselor caused the forgetting curve to be opposite to the conventional forgetting curve.Memories are sealed in the subconscious. The closer and more impressive the memory, the more completely it will be forgotten. The older and more vague the memory, the more likely it is that it can be used as the key to reopen the subconscious.

In other words, if you want Yu Tang to return to his former self, apart from familiar people and things, the safest way is to find someone who came out of the orphanage.

The system figured it out: "Ke Ming is the person who came out of the orphanage."

Yu Tang was led to the booth and sat down calmly: "Time is too tight, he doesn't have time to find anyone else."

The system looked at the character's pressure value, and a few small snowflakes appeared on the screen worriedly.

Ke Ming not only took the risk to show up, but also brought Sui Si's former manager, Qian Bin, who had punished Yu Tang with electric shocks.

Yu Tang couldn't think of these two people yet, but the pressure level had been rising slowly and without a trace, stopping at around 55.

Once it exceeds 60, Yu Tang's state of consciousness is likely to fluctuate again.

Yu Tang: "Give me a bubble gum."

system:"……"

"I'm eating in the sea of consciousness." Yu Tang had switched back to the automatic mode and squatted next to it, "What are you worried about? Not only can I make cards, but my character programming rating is also S."

The system chose a watermelon-flavored bubble gum for him: "Has the host reprogrammed Yu Tang's character again?"

Yu Tang nodded.

Everything the psychological counselor said to Yu Tang was edited into a subconscious program by him, mixed into Yu Tang's basic data, and became part of the default.

Everything Yu Tang does, every word he says, and his entire life will be based on this foundation.

No one could drag him back into that nightmare.

"Don't worry." Yu Tang imitated the systematic tone and joked, "I have been trained and there will be no problems."

The system has always trusted him, so it felt relieved after hearing these words, flashing a small red light, and rubbed his shoulder.

Yu Tang sat down, called up the previous interactive monitoring of the protagonist, Gong Shou, and pressed split-screen playback at double speed.

…

In the coffee shop, Yu Tang heard the purpose of these two people's visit and was silent for a few minutes.

He lowered his gaze and touched the edge of the coffee cup's tray.

The delicate white porcelain is cold against the fingertips, and after a while, it is gradually infected with the warmth of the fingers.

"You mean."

Yu Tang said softly: "I used to manage a studio, but it was recently exposed that the studio was owed my salary, so it was about to be dissolved."

His speaking speed was slightly slow, but it did not affect communication. There was a little grit in his gentle voice: "Before I left, I left a list. Please don't fire these people... Is that so?"

Qian Bin glanced at Ke Ming, looked away, and nodded.

He is Sui Si's former agent.Because of the company's arrangements, when Sui Si was deliberately targeting Sui Si, who wanted to open a studio independently and pursue a solo career, and punished Sui Si's subordinates, Yu Tang was tormented a lot.

Things went too far back then, and Qian Bin was actually feeling bad.Later, when he saw how prosperous Yu Tang was under Sui Si, he was worried about being retaliated against, so he always avoided Yu Tang and never dared to take the lead again.

According to Yu Tang's connections in the circle, provoking Yu Tang is no different from being banned.Even though Yu Tang couldn't remember anything now and had changed careers to another company, he still felt guilty when he faced Yu Tang.

If Ke Ming hadn't offered him a high price and had the handle on why he illegally electrocuted Yu Tang in the first place, he wouldn't have been willing to cooperate on this trip.

"Think about it carefully."

Qian Bin was glanced at by Ke Ming again, gritted his teeth, and hardened his face: "These people..."

Yu Tang said: "I harmed them."

Qian Bin had a meal.

These were originally his words, but before Qian Bin had time to finish, he was overtaken by Yu Tang for some reason: "You - do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know." Yu Tang nodded, "This is a studio that owes employees wages. It's really my fault that I let them stay here."

Qian Bin: "..."

Yu Tang picked up the list, carefully folded it and smoothed it, and put it into the pocket of his coat: "Thank you for coming to tell me. I still remember some companies... Although I no longer do this business, those companies are probably still willing toSell me some favors.”

When he said this, he was still gentle and looked down, as if he was very quiet and shy.

He just went downstairs to buy groceries. Today, Yu Tang wore an ordinary woolen jacket and glasses. His delicate eyebrows were hidden by the frames, so ordinary that he would disappear in a blink of an eye in the crowd.

But Qian Bin looked at him as if he had seen Assistant Yu from the past.

He obviously doesn't talk much and is very quiet. He always looks gentle and almost dull.It happened to suppress a group of professional and senior brokers, and they could easily obtain resources that they were extremely eager for.

When Yu Tang took those resources and asked the people in the studio to do it, he made the arrangements casually, as if he had no idea how valuable these resources were and how many agents worked hard to grab them.

"Yu Tang." Ke Ming suddenly asked, "Do you really not remember anything?"

Yu Tang raised his gaze.

His eyelashes flickered slightly, and his fingertips trembled without trace.

He was wearing a bracelet that monitored vital signs. Before the indicator light flashed, Yu Tang fumbled and pressed a button on the side.

"Don't you like Sui Si to death?"

Ke Ming saw the flashing red light. He guessed that it was a reminder of fluctuations in vital signs. He lowered his voice and stared at Yu Tang: "You have been in a fake marriage with him for almost three years, and you haven't divorced yet, just to help him.Acting. You are willing to be a dog for him, and you don’t need money or your life for him. You clearly know that he likes me. "

"Do you think I didn't know that you helped buy the gifts he gave me all these years ago? Sui Si is afraid that I won't want it if I find out... Why don't I want it?"

Ke Ming looked at him, undisguised malice gradually seeping out of his eyes: "You sent him to the hotel to date me, you stayed outside to watch the wind, sat there all night with a fever, and you came up to help us clean up the next morning...…”

Ke Ming originally just wanted to say something to stimulate Yu Tang, but for some reason, he couldn't stop once he started speaking.

He firmly believed that it was Yu Tang's fault.

If Yu Tang hadn't occupied that position and had been in love with Sui Si in front of him for almost three years, he would have been able to put aside those distracting thoughts and really like Sui Si.

But during those nights in the past three years, when he looked at Yu Tang beside Sui Si, darkness grew little by little...

"No." Yu Tang said, "You lied."

Ke Ming's voice suddenly stopped.

The words he didn't have time to finish seemed to have turned into spikes, stuck in his throat, making his delicate facial features look a little strange: "What did you say?"

"I don't remember any of this."

Yu Tang: "But if what you said is true, you two truly love each other, and you like him too."

"If this is really the case," Yu Tang said, "then every time I see you, I should be in pain...I should not remember you now."

Yu Tang looked at him: "But I remember you."

Ke Ming's body stiffened.

"You are the one who gave me candy in the orphanage and asked me to change my name to behind you on the list of recipients of funding."

Yu Tang said: "Candy is delicious, so I'm not sad about it."

He will only forget those things that are too sad.

He still remembers what Ke Ming did to him: "I remember, I was punished with an electric shock device, and you told me that as long as I keep your secret and don't tell others that you came from an orphanage, you can help me."Turn off the electric shock device and promise to give me one million."

Yu Tang asked him: "Can I still want it now? I want to do charity. Many people don't have books to read. I want them to read..."

Ke Ming was afraid of attracting attention, so he shouted in a low voice, "Yutang!"

Yu Tang stopped talking.

He didn't speak, and his eyelashes were lowered. He sat with his hands on his legs and his shoulders were straight.

This is a common request for patients when listening to psychological lectures in hospitals.

His eyebrows have always been gentle, and he will not get angry no matter how much he is scolded. Sitting like this, he faintly shows some coolness that he has never had before.

Ke Ming suddenly noticed the cold sweat between Yu Tang's brows.

Yu Tang sat with his dark eyelashes wet with cold sweat. He didn't know when his face started to turn pale and transparent like it did in the past when he was exhausted every day and was under heavy physical and mental pressure.

This discovery calmed Ke Ming's mind. He sneered almost disdainfully. Looking at Yu Tang who was stubbornly resisting, his voice was extremely low and he spoke every word in his ear.

"Assistant Yu Te, do you really not remember your teacher Sui at all?"

Yu Tang raised his eyes.

Ke Ming threw a box that he had prepared on the table.

He was packing Sui Si's luggage a few days ago and found it in Sui Si's suitcase.

He didn't know the specific origin of the two inconspicuous broken lucky bags, but he knew that once they were taken out, they could kill Yu Tang.

Ke Ming put it away and kept it with him, never taking it out.

At this point, it is impossible to unravel what he wants from Sui Si... But one thing is that Yu Tang must disappear.

As long as Yutang is around, Sui Si will continue to daydream about making a comeback.

Yu Tang sat still and stretched out his hand to open the box.

"Host!" The system couldn't stand it any longer. It looked at the pressure value that had reached 58, banging and banging in the entire sea of consciousness. "It can't go on like this! This kind of character with no buffer suddenly collapses emotionally, and it will directly backfire on him.The host’s!”

Yu Tang was in the sea of consciousness, reaching out to press the system: "Don't worry, let's take a look."

"Worry!" The system played "Pirates of the Caribbean" loudly in a hurry, "Put the coffee on both of their heads, flip the table and leave! OOC is OOC, let's first let them shock me, let them shock me, host——"

Yu Tang turned off the system's stereo speakers.

He almost made a PUA skill card that day, but after destroying it midway, inspired by the psychological counselor's suggestion therapy, he suddenly realized that he could make an anti-PUA cracking skill card.

If Yu Tang can survive on his own today, it means that the basic function test of this skill card has passed.

Yu Tang knew it in his heart. He would not risk the task and himself. He was distracted and paying attention to the pressure value. He was always ready to take back control when it exceeded 59, flip the table and run away.

…

The next moment, the entire consciousness inside and outside suddenly became silent.

The pressure level dropped sharply, quickly dropping to 50. The abnormal reaction of Yu Tang's body also disappeared, leaving only a faint sweat on his forehead.

Ke Ming's astonished expression froze on his face.

Qian Bin glanced at the contents of the box, his face changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly.

"...System." Yu Tang turned on the speaker of the system, "What's going on? According to the plot, isn't this a lucky bag?"

Yu Tang just played back the video and saw with his own eyes that Ke Ming put a lucky bag in it: "Why did it turn into a stun device?"

"We have sold the lucky bag, host."

The system whispered: "On the day when the lucky bags were sold, a temporarily hired cleaning lady came to clean up Ke Ming's room..."

"Because I didn't understand the situation, I thought I didn't want the lucky bag." Yu Tang already understood the system's routine, "But why did it turn into a stun device?"

The system didn't know, so it flipped through the exchange form: "The electric shock device was returned. Among the real items exchanged directly by the host at a 1:1 ratio, items that seriously affect personal safety or harm personal health are prohibited. If the item does not pass the review and is returned,A temporarily hired cleaner will be randomly generated..."

Yu Tang: "..."

system:"……"

Yu Tang was not in the mood to discuss the rigid issues in all aspects of Chuan Bookstore for the time being. He hit his forehead hard and quickly regained control of his body: "It's over."

The system was startled: "What's wrong?"

Yu Tang took a deep breath.

When the psychological counselor consulted Yu Tang, he found it particularly unbelievable when he learned that Yu Tang had been punished with electric shocks many times.

In order to enhance Yu Tang's awareness of self-protection, the counselor added a slight extra item when giving Yu Tang psychological hints: "When encountering personal threats or harm, you should have the courage to seek help from the police in a timely manner."

Yu Tang felt that this item made sense, and he included it when he was writing the program.

Programs at this level are equivalent to psychological suggestions and will produce conditioned reflexes.Once a triggering situation is encountered, it will automatically run with priority. Correspondingly, the pressure value will also drop instantly due to the release of pressure.

…

"The system." Yu Tang said, "I advise you not to do it."

system:"……"

System: "Host, no."

Yutang's program has its own ideas.

He ended the recording function of the bracelet, lowered his eyelashes, looked at the electric shock device, and pressed the one-touch alarm button.

The bracelet's emergency alarm sounded instantly.

This is a bracelet specially issued by the coalition government to vulnerable groups. When everyone hears the alarm bell, they must provide help, protect the person calling for help, and temporarily control the suspected perpetrator.

Ke Ming and Qian Bin's expressions changed completely.

None of them knew how the lucky bag turned into an electric shock device, and they never expected that Yu Tang would do such a thing. They stood up in a hurry, but their way was blocked by someone.

"Sorry, gentlemen." The coffee shop owner stopped Ke Ming, "Please cooperate with us to understand the situation."

"It has nothing to do with me!" Ke Ming said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way, I -"

"Hello." Yutang said.

Ke Ming's eyes widened, his face turned pale, and he turned to look at Yu Tang.

He had planned all possibilities and never expected such a strange development.

Yu Tang lowered his eyes and held the phone in one hand.

The gentleness or coldness he had just now disappeared. He stood quietly, like an emotionless robot: "I was personally threatened with an electric shock device. I was very scared and wanted to ask the police for help."

The author has something to say: "Yu Tang Work Notes"

Making cards is risky, so be careful when programming.
