My abstract plant was exposed by my sister.

To verify her hypothesis, she retraced the route the orange cat had taken.

Just then, she suddenly noticed that Daju always passed by the entrance of the greenhouse.

Could it be?

Xiao Kui had a vague idea. She came to the entrance of the greenhouse. The door was half open, and there was a faint, indescribable fragrance inside.

Pushing open the door, I saw the pyrethrum in the corner; it had already bloomed.

Purple petals, yellow stamens, with a layer of pale golden powder on the stamens.

There was no wind in the greenhouse, but the pollen grains were slowly falling off the flower stamens and drifting into the nearby air.

Under the sunlight, the drifting trajectory of the pollen was clearly visible, and a few even drifted right in front of her nose.

Then Xiaokui couldn't help but sneeze.

She stood there, her eyes vacant, and remained motionless for two seconds.

Looking down at his hands, he saw they were wrapped in tape, and his middle finger was tightly bound.

"...What happened to my hand? Who wrapped it up for me?"

She had forgotten everything that had happened before.

He looked up and around, then muttered to himself in confusion, "What am I doing in this greenhouse?"

Looking down, I saw Big Orange squatting at my feet, looking around in confusion, and then I couldn't help but sneeze. Then I stared at her with a dazed look.

The two stared at each other for five seconds.

Xiao Kui stared at the phone in her hand for three seconds, thinking, "Whose phone is this?"

Then your own face popped up on the screen, showing the live stream.

She paused for a moment, then said, "Oh, it's mine. I'm Xiao Kui."

Bullet comments:

"Does Xiaokui not even recognize herself anymore?"

"Did they catch it from the orange tabby?"

"Is this amnesia?"

Xiao Kui suddenly snapped out of her daze, then quickly retreated a few meters, standing outside the greenhouse, holding up her phone, her tone completely changed:

"Family! I think I've found the culprit! It must be pyrethrum! Its pollen can cause temporary amnesia!"

The live chat exploded instantly:

"Big Orange was the first to get infected."

"Big Orange: I've sacrificed so much for this family."

"Xiao Kui almost lost consciousness as well."

"She just blacked out, but she didn't realize it."

Xiao Kui saw this comment and paused for a moment, then asked, "Did I just black out? What did I say?"

Bullet comments:

You said, "What's wrong with my hand?"

Xiao Kui looked down at her hand and then remembered that she had been synchronized with the middle finger guy.

She carefully tried to move her middle finger and found that she could easily control it, so she breathed a sigh of relief and removed the tape from her hand.

Looking at the tape on the ground, she couldn't help but sigh:

"Why am I so sad today?"

Purple tomatoes and pyrethrum again, why am I always the one who gets hurt?

After finishing his work in the lab, Lin Muyang planned to observe the growth of the pyrethrum. As soon as he came out of the lab, he saw Xiao Kui and Da Ju.

He walked into the greenhouse, and just as he was about to speak, the big orange tree suddenly shook its body and then sneezed, sending countless pollen grains flying up instantly.

Lin Muyang felt an itch in his nose and sneezed as well.

Then he stood there, his eyes vacant for two seconds, and he almost dropped the notebook in his hand.

He looked down at his notebook; the page he had opened to was blank, he hadn't written anything yet.

He frowned and stared at the laptop for three seconds:

"...Whose notebook is this?"

Then he turned to the title page, which read "Lin Muyang".

"Oh. Mine."

He flipped through it again and saw the densely packed records at the front: "Oh. I am Lin Muyang."

The comments section erupted:

"Even the guy with the facial paralysis has lost his memory!"

"You've even forgotten your own name?"

"No, he forgot he wrote his name."

"This is a pyrethrum that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe."

Xiao Kui immediately stepped forward and pulled Lin Muyang away from beside the flowerpot:

"Brother, you came to the greenhouse to see the flowers. These are the pyrethrum plants you planted before, and they've bloomed now."

Lin Muyang looked at the flowers, then at the orange tree. The orange tree sneezed again, then looked at him blankly.

"Meow?" It's like asking, "Who are you?"

Lin Muyang stared at the orange tree for three seconds: "...There's something wrong with this flower. The orange tree doesn't recognize me anymore."

I didn't even recognize myself just now.

He went back into the greenhouse, squatted down next to the flowerpot, and gently flicked the petals with his finger, causing the pollen to scatter everywhere again.

This time he held his breath, and did not sneeze or suffer from amnesia.

He examined the pollen carefully, then stepped back to observe the orange tree's movements.

It kept repeating the same route to the cat food bowl, then sneezed halfway there, stopped in a daze, looked around, and turned back.

Lin Muyang took out a notebook from his pocket and quickly wrote down:

* "Plant Induced Mutation Experiment No. 005"

Species: Pyrethrum

Mutation characteristics: After flowering, it releases pollen, and inhalation of pollen will cause temporary amnesia.

Triggering condition: sneezing or taking a deep breath.

Note: This has been confirmed by Daju, Xiaokui, and myself.

The effect lasts approximately 5-10 seconds.

He paused, then wrote another line: "Breath-holding is effective, but it is not recommended for ordinary people to try, because it will suffocate them."

The chat in Xiao Kui's live stream is going crazy:

"Has the insect-repellent chrysanthemum turned into a potion of forgetfulness?"

"Big Orange: Who am I? Where am I?"

"If it's planted at the entrance of the exam hall, won't the students forget everything as soon as they go inside?"

"You're really smart."

Big Orange sneezed again, then squatted down, looked in the direction of the cat food bowl, and then looked at Little Sunflower.

The expression roughly translates to:

"Am I hungry? Have I been here before? Are you my human?"

Xiao Kui picked it up, and the big orange cat struggled for a moment, then sneezed, and then fell silent. It no longer remembered that it had struggled.

It looked at Xiao Kui's face with a strange trust in its eyes: "Although I don't know you, I feel that you should be a good person."

Bullet comments:

"Daju has completely lost his memory."

"This is a plant-based version of Memento."

"Big Orange: Who are you? But since you're holding me, it must be the right thing to do."

Lin Muyang held his breath, moved the insect repellent chrysanthemum into the innermost part of the greenhouse, and then closed the door.

"Don't go near it for now; we need to control the pollen. Take the orange cat outside and let it get some fresh air."

He thought for a moment and then added, "If it doesn't recognize you, let it smell your hand; cats recognize people by their sense of smell."

Xiao Kui nodded, picked up the big orange cat, and placed it next to the cat food bowl.

The orange tree lowered its head, sniffed the smell, and then began to eat.

After taking a few bites, it sneezed, looked up blankly at the cat food bowl, sniffed it again, and continued eating.

He ate a few bites, then sneezed, looked up, then looked down again to eat.

Xiao Kui looked at it, sighed, and squatted down beside it, stroking it: "It's even forgotten what it's doing. Its small body has such a slow metabolism."

Bullet comments:

"Big Orange: Have I entered a time loop?"

"This is the longest meal of its life."
