Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 88: My Sorrow Part 2

The winds are strong in late autumn of Beijing. The sky is also gloomy.

The Public Security University building is grand yet serene looking. The emblem on the upper middle part of the building is rather dark. In the courts not far away, there are still students playing basketball. The whole campus feels staid and tranquil.

Lisa observes the surroundings and becomes quiet. Jungkook asks, "Do you remember anything?"

Lisa doesn't remember anything from this place, but yet it feels familiar.

She answers, "It feels like I've been here in my past life."

Before coming, Jungkook asked his supervisor to write a work invitation. They obtained their approvals successfully so that they can enter the archives library right now. They find a quiet reading spot and gather all the information of the criminal psychology '05 class.

Lisa flips open the records of the student names. And Jungkook picks up a stack of student background information and starts reading.

Lisa reads the names row by row.

Very quickly, her eyes open wide and she goes back to the top of the list and reads through them again.

It's still not there.

There isn't the name "Leeah" on the list.

She jerks her head up and looks at Jungkook.

Jungkook lowers the papers in his hand and looks at her. His pupils are dark and black like ink.

Lisa asks, "Did you see it?"

"No," he picks up another stack of information, "Let's look again."

Lisa nods, leans toward the table and continues flipping through the other records quickly. But her heart feels heavier.

She has taken a look at the graduation photo, class activities records, the teacher's work log, video recordings........and even the name lists of the professors and trainers from that year: Xue Wen Dong, Chen Jia Dong, Zhao Lan, Xu Mu Hua, Han Jiang......no matter where she looks, there isn't one called "Leeah" or any traces of its existence.

It's the same over on Jungkook's side.

It's two hours later when they leave the archives library. Jungkook is expressionless, but Lisa has her head down the whole time, looking depressed. When they reach a quiet area with no one around, she turns around and looks at him, "How could this be? Why aren't I there?"

She never thought that there would be no findings after making the trip to the Public Security University.

Jungkook holds her hand with a solemn look on his face, "Having no findings is the biggest finding. If Jieun's words are the truth, in what circumstances would a student's records at a police school who openly recruits talents would be completely erased?"

They find a hotel in the old city district near the Ministry of Public Security. The night is approaching; the sun is on the horizon and darkness blankets the city, making it seem even colder.

Jungkook walks out of the shower and sees Lisa sitting on the side of the bed staring absentmindedly out the window.

It hurts Jungkook's heart seeing her like this. He walks over, hugs her from behind and starts kissing her, "I've asked someone to look into 'Leeah's' information from when she was in university. Before we find out about everything, don't think too much about it."

But how can Lisa not think about it? Everything has become so mysterious like there's a fog surrounding her and she can't even make out which direction she should take. Her heart is heavy. She pushes him away, "I want to go take a walk. You rest first."
