Profiler: I receive memories of the dead every day

Where am I?

Lin Wei's consciousness seemed to have fallen into a vat of wine. He shook his head, which felt like it weighed hundreds of pounds, and the dazed and disoriented feeling gradually disappeared.

Everything around was changing rapidly, clear geometric lines were quickly combining, and a moment later, a sharply defined building appeared tall in the plain surroundings.

Am I on a rooftop? Am I dreaming?

Since the age of twelve, Lin Wei has never had this dreamlike feeling again.

At this moment, a rustling sound began to surround him. Lin Wei listened carefully and then realized that it was the sound of the wind. The wind gradually subsided and grew louder. His clothes were pressed tightly against his body by the wind, carrying a biting chill that wrapped his limbs in an icy coldness.

Is this loading my senses?

The air was damp and cold; every breath was a crisp, chilly breath. A low, distant humming sound drifted in, mingling with the subtle rustling of clothing. Colors filled the world, rising slowly with the sound of the wind.

The cold wind blew straight at Lin Wei's face, and tears kept welling up in his eyes. He hurriedly lowered his head and repeatedly wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand. When he looked up again, there was a student in front of him.

He stood on the edge of the rooftop, arms outstretched, his blue school uniform open, the wind billowing his clothes, making it hard to tell whether he wanted to embrace the wind or the wind wanted to embrace him.

"Be careful! It's dangerous there," Lin Wei warned almost instinctively.

The student didn't turn around; the wind carried his words into Lin Wei's ears, "I've already died, what do I have to be afraid of?"

The voice carried a hint of indifference, and the tone was so frank that it didn't sound like something a student would say.

Lin Wei slowly moved to his side against the strong wind, and couldn't help but glance downstairs. The moment his gaze fell, the void beneath his feet surged up, and everything on the ground suddenly shrank. The difference in height pulled his gaze downwards, finally landing on that small blue dot.

That's me.

Why did you jump off the building?

"I didn't want to live anymore back then," the student said, feigning nonchalance.

"Were you bullied?"

Yes, that's right.

The student's appearance gradually changed. Shoe prints slowly appeared on the clean school uniform, blood seeped from his nostrils, and a drop of bright red blood dripped onto the pair of sneakers printed with little yellow ducks.

Her once clear eyes were now bloodshot, and her eye sockets were filled with tears.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Han Xu."

"How old are you?"

"14 years old."

Lin Wei already knew that the child had been bullied and mistreated, and had chosen to commit suicide.

What a wonderful time it was, but it was wasted in the wind.

Do you regret it?

"Regret? What's there to regret? You'll understand when you die. I am you, and you are me." Before the words were finished, the figure leaped and disappeared into the wind.

Lin Wei suddenly opened his eyes, breathing heavily, the fleeting figure from his dream still lingering in his mind.

"Jarvis, tell me what time it is!"

"3:02, sir."

What's going on? Does this count as fragmented memory? Why don't I have a headache? A bunch of questions instantly filled Lin Wei's mind.

What happened today?

The planned process was disrupted, and the unknown changes made Lin Wei somewhat fearful.

"Jarvis, make a video call to Wen Xu."

"Yes, sir."

A pleasant bell rang once, and Wen Xu's face appeared in front of Lin Wei.

"Wen Xu, today is different from usual."

"No headache, huh!"

How did you know?

"Based on your sleep data."

"Also, I had a conversation with my memories today."

"Hmm, that's unusual. Aren't you supposed to only passively receive information?"

"yes!"

"Is it fragmented memory?"

"I don't think so. The extra information in my mind is very clear, including my name, age, and exact location. It's just that I have a dialogue with my memories."

"What did you do yesterday?"

"I went to see the deceased and tried to recall the memories I received at the time in detail."

Wen Xu in the video fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "Lin Wei, I think it might be related to your behavior during the day. I'll make a bracelet version of the QUID weak magnetic field detection array. Come and pick it up tomorrow morning."

Lin Wei nodded, wanting to say thank you but unable to bring himself to say it. After a long pause, he finally said, "Wen Xu, actually I'm quite envious of you. You only sleep four hours a day and you still don't die."

"Damn it..."

Before Wen Xu could finish speaking, Lin Wei had already cut off the communication.

Lin Wei couldn't sleep again. He got up, took a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and looked out at the edge of the city through the glass.

This reminded him of that incident in college.

That year he was a junior in college, pursuing a combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree like Wen Xu, majoring in quantum physics.

At that time, his relationship with Wen Xu was not so harmonious.

Wen Xu was filled with jealousy towards Lin Wei because Lin Wei's IQ test score was only 123, yet he was called a genius just like Wen Xu.

At that time, Wen Xu did not know that Lin Wei's ability came from the memories he received every morning.

Lin Wei is like an encyclopedia. Wen Xu stays up all night studying, while Lin Wei lies in bed sleeping like a dead pig, yet he knows more than Wen Xu when he wakes up the next day.

At that time, Wen Xu desperately searched for the reason, wanting to know why Lin Wei could learn all the knowledge so quickly.

Until Lin Wei first received the criminal's memories, in Wen Xu's eyes that early morning, Lin Wei had completely changed.

Lin Wei suddenly sat up in bed, looked around, got off the bed, sat by the window, repeatedly rubbed the edge of the table with his fingertips, stared blankly into the air, and kept muttering to himself.

The voice was too faint for Wen Xu to hear clearly, so he quietly got up and crept closer before he could hear what it was saying.

The voices were clearly organized, reprimanding, speculating, and plotting throughout the entire process, with the last sentence being that he wanted to kill the person eavesdropping nearby.

Before Wen Xu could react, Lin Wei suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Wen Xu's throat like a wild beast, forcing Wen Xu to only whimper. His delicate hands dug into Wen Xu's flesh like eagle claws, causing Wen Xu to nearly faint from the pain.

Fortunately, Wen Xu managed to kick Lin Wei in a vital spot in his haste, bringing him back to his senses and consciousness.

Actually, Wen Xu's brain deserves praise; his exceptionally high IQ allows him to think in a way that is beyond human comprehension.

Wen Xu didn't call the police. He just listened quietly to Lin Wei's secret and learned that Lin Wei's strong learning ability was transformed from received memories. He was completely relieved.

He should be jealous not of Lin Wei himself, but of the abilities Lin Wei has acquired.

From that moment on, Wen Xu became obsessed with uncovering the secrets surrounding Lin Wei.

It was from that time that Lin Wei's memory began to become disordered, and he would often find himself in unfamiliar places without his knowledge.

At first, Wen Xu helped him cover it up, but the truth eventually came out and the fire accidentally spread to others.

It was a sweltering summer afternoon, and the shade of the trees became the most comfortable haven for campus romances. Some were nurtured by love in the cool shade, while others shamelessly indulged themselves under the scorching sun.

Lin Wei's emotions were stirred up by that shameless whistle, and he instantly lost control, rushing towards the group of people like a flood breaking through a dam.

Hysterical curses mingled with trembling moans on that sweltering summer afternoon.

Lin Wei was ultimately given a major demerit and placed on probation at the school.

After that, Lin Wei gave up quantum physics and switched to studying psychology.
