Chapter 25: Tan Jiao 05 (1)
————Tan Jiao————
I laid in bed like a lazy pig while feeling pleased with my ability to control my emotions, as I could still sleep around midnight after Wu Yu dropped a bombshell on me last night. When I woke up this morning, the fear I felt had lessened; perhaps, I felt that the fear was distant because of the vacantness in my mind.
What should I do?
Wu Yu’s words proved to be true. I realized that the fallacious world I believed in when I looked at the calendar, my records, or even the previous cruise ticket.
I suspected whether I was experiencing amnesia because when I tried to think back, the clearest memory I had was when I woke up on my sofa a few days ago. It was as If I had experienced a long dream. It felt similar to the movies, where some people have the memory of a fish—only possessing short-term memory.
However, I could remember clearly everything that had happened to me before that cruise.
Scratching my head, I felt a sense of chaos in my mind similar to my messy hair, like a bird’s nest. I had no intentions of visiting a doctor because the symptoms I had were too outrageous, and I disliked the prospects of being treated like an alien for research.
I decided to give Zhuang Yu a call first because she was like me—a woman that could keep calm under stress.
After spending some time explaining my symptoms to her, she remained mute briefly before saying, “I get it now. In my opinion, this thing must have something to do with the cruise you took and the place you went. Didn’t the two of you lose your memories after boarding the ship?”
