Chapter 12 Dream like a demon
I felt that my legs were a little soft, but I still turned around and stumbled out. Xiaoxuan shouted behind me, but I couldn't hear anything clearly and only thought about that face.
Li Yalian, the woman downstairs is Li Yalian. That's right. I will never admit that face.
I rushed to the bottom of the building, but I didn't see her at the door of the building. I simply stepped directly across the electric gate and ran to the position where she had just stood. I even felt that the cool air under my feet was constantly winding around me.
But I stood there and looked around, but I didn't find her shadow.
Xiaoxuan, Zhang Jiewei and Huang Yang also ran down with me. I couldn't find anyone everywhere and walked back. I happened to see the three of them standing side by side in front of the sapphire blue mirror, but by chance, they arranged strangely.
"What's wrong with you? It's been so strange today." Xiaoxuan came over and looked at me with concern and asked.
"Nothing. I seem to have seen an acquaintance just now. Let's go back. I guess I'm not in a good state today." I explained to Xiaoxuan casually and gave Zhang Jiewei a wink.
When I came out of Jiadali, I took a deep breath, and my heart no longer beat irregularly. Xiaoxuan and I sat in the car, but the figure, the face that kept floating in my mind from last night to now, and the black daliflower that bloomed enchantingly and lonely. .
"What on earth did Zhang Jiewei do? Why did he go to the toilet for so long?" Xiaoxuan couldn't wait in the car. She kept throwing the window and looking at the door of Jia, but she never saw Zhang Jiewei coming out of it.
"Just wait a little longer." I comforted Xiaoxuan and stared at the gate like her.
Looking at my worried look, Xiaoxuan suddenly reacted: "Did you quietly ask Zhang Jiewei to do something for you?" Are you two hiding something from me?
In the face of Xiaoxuan's forced question, I only left her a meaningful smile, and then continued to observe the movement at Jia's gate.
Seeing that I didn't pay attention to it, Xiao Xuan stared at me with some dissatisfaction and continued to lie on the window.
Not long after, Zhang Jiewei came out of Jia's gate and walked straight to our parking place.
Zhang Jiewei's face is still as usual, which makes it difficult for people to speculate about his true thoughts. At the same time, because of this, he can hide himself well and make people unable to see a flaw.
Zhang Jiewei went straight into the car. Before I could speak, he handed me a photo: "I'll give this back to you."
I took the photo. The man on it was very beautiful, almost as handsome as Zhang Jiewei. At that time, when I took this photo out from Li Yalian's pillow, I didn't have time to look carefully, so I secretly gave it to Zhang Jiewei.
"How's it going?" As I spoke, I tightened the photo in the bag on the inside of my coat.
"I inquired around. This man is a popular figure. He is the head of the Literature and Art Department of the junior student union. Most of the girls in the school know him." Zhang Jiewei looked at me and Xiaoxuan separately and continued, "The girl in the corridor, named Shi Yingjie, is a classmate next to Li Yalian. The relationship between the two is not very good."
"The relationship is not very good and the reaction is still so violent." Xiaoxuan whispered to the side, with a little doubt.
"That's why there is a problem. As for Huang Yang, she has a lot of problems." As I spoke, the touch of the cold fingers came out again, and my fingers quickly trembling.
"She really makes me feel a little strange." Xiaoxuan also said as follows.
"Do you think she is strange there?" I looked into Xiaoxuan's eyes and asked, if it's not just me who feels like that, then there must be something strange about it.
"She is too gloomy, but this is not a strange place. The strange thing is that she doesn't like us to have too much contact with her students. Especially for you, her hostility is a little too heavy. Xiaoxuan suddenly stopped, turned her head and stared at me strangely and asked, "It can't be that you knew each other before, and then what you did to offend her to make her pregnant until now!"
"It's wrong! Absolute injustice, great injustice!" I shouted out all of a sudden. This woman's imagination is really not as powerful as we can understand. "I just met Huang Yang today. I'm really more wronged than Dou E!"
Looking at my nervous expression, Xiaoxuan actually smiled and said, "I'm teasing you. You're serious."
"What did you just see and suddenly run downstairs?" Just as I was relieved, Zhang Jiewei looked at me very seriously and asked, as if he were interrogating his prisoner.
Hearing this question, my face also became gloomy in an instant. I wanted to say it but I was a little hesitant. I didn't know whether it was right or wrong. Xiaoxuan's eyes are the same as Zhang Jiewei's, eager to know the answer. If Huang Yang hadn't been there at that time, the two of them might have asked me this at that time.
"I saw Li Yalian standing downstairs and looking at me smiling." I slowly said this sentence, and every word was clearly bitten, especially the three words "Li Yalian". Every time I said it, my heart seemed to be violently hit by something.
"How is this possible?" Xiaoxuan looked at me in surprise, and Zhang Jiewei also frowned.
"Is Li Yalian still alive, and the person who died is not Li Yalian at all?" Xiaoxuan's face turned pale, as if she was discussing with us and muttering to herself.
"I'm not sure either." Although I recognized that face, it is still a mystery whether Li Yalian is still alive or not. After all, Gao Jianning...
Is it that Gao Jianning did something to make us think that the dead person was Li Yalian? No, it's impossible. After so many years, I believe that Gao Jianning will not joke with me about this kind of thing, and he has no reason to do so.
The dead person appears again. It seems that this is not the first time I have encountered such a thing. Isn't Sun Xiaomeng, who met when the hotel caught fire last time, the best example?
Or the door of life and death has been opened, and the dead have returned...
"Does that mean you didn't find her after running downstairs?" Zhang Jiewei looked at me and reasoned.
"Yes, she was gone when I went downstairs." I thought about it carefully. At that time, there was only a dormitory around, and there was no other place to hide. In the two minutes when I quickly ran downstairs, she had to find a hiding place. But the question is, if Li Yalian is really alive, why should she hide from me? Will my existence threaten her safety? But in this case, why does she have to appear in my sight in this situation?
Just when I was puzzled, Xiaoxuan suddenly asked, "Brother, is the case too much pressure in the past two days? Have you had an illusion?"
"It's impossible. It can't be an illusion. There's one more thing I haven't told you yet." Then I told Xiaoxuan and Zhang Jiewei about the newspaper last night, the photos of Li Yalian and the eyes outside the cat's eyes, as well as the things that I chased the elevator downstairs and fell into an infinite cycle. When I woke up and lay on the park path. Of course, I still wisely chose to omit the short paragraph when I woke up and met Feng Siyan in front of Xiaoxuan.
After listening to my story, Xiaoxuan hadn't come to her senses. Zhang Jiewei pondered for a while and asked, "Where did you put those newspapers?"
"It's still at my house." I replied inexplicably, can Zhang Jiewei see any clue from those newspapers?
"Okay, let's go and have a look now." Zhang Jiewei has made a decision. Before I even nodded, he drove me and Xiaoxuan to my house, but of course, I was on his way.
After thinking about it, I think we should still believe in Zhang Jiewei's strength. After all, reconnaissance is his strength.
Driving back to my community, Zhang Jiewei parked his car downstairs. When we passed the mailbox downstairs, I took a special look. My mailbox is open...
I rushed forward to check. I clearly remember that I opened the lock and took out the newspaper yesterday and then closed the mailbox door, but how could he open it now?
"What's the matter?" When Xiaoxuan saw that something was wrong with my face, she came forward and asked.
"This is my mailbox. I remember that I clearly closed it yesterday." As I spoke, I checked the lock of the mailbox, but I didn't find any signs of damage.
"This is it." Zhang Jiewei's voice sounded in my ear, and at the same time, his outstretched hand picked out a small piece of iron sheet in the gap of the mailbox, "It's stuck."
I turned out to look at the small iron sheet carefully. This kind of thing could not appear in the cracks in my mailbox for no reason. A prank child in the community? But it is impossible for children of average height to reach me.
Suddenly, I thought of the strange newspaper and began to search in the mailbox again. In addition to those leaflets that have only increased, I also found two other newspapers, one yesterday's and one today's one.
I opened the two newspapers and checked them carefully. There were no weird photos or abnormal printing time.
"Maybe I'm too careful. Go upstairs quickly." Although I said this to Zhang Jiewei and Xiaoxuan, I still couldn't let it go.
This feeling continued, and it became more intense after I entered the elevator with the two of them. The elevator was very quiet. I don't know why Zhang Jiewei and Xiaoxuan kept silent at the same time. The increasingly depressing environment made my heart unconsciously start to beat wildly. The elevator door slowly opened. At a glance, it was the door of my house, which was closed to death.
Walking in the corridor, there is a feeling of death.
I stood in front of the door and took a deep breath, took out the key and opened the door as usual. The room was not big and there was no one in the room. I was suddenly relieved.
"It's on the computer desk." As I turned around and explained to Zhang Jiewei and Xiaoxuan, I walked in the direction of the computer desk, but when I turned my head and looked at the computer desk, I found that there was nothing on it.
My brain suddenly became blank, just like the empty computer desk. Except for the halving of the computer and mouse, there was nothing. The newspaper disappeared strangely, as if it had never existed.
"How is this possible?" I put it here, and then I never touched it again!" Looking at the disappearance of the newspaper, I was incredulously shocked.
I looked back at Xiaoxuan and Zhang Jiewei. Xiaoxuan was also confused now. As for Zhang Jiewei, he seemed to be looking for something in my room and ignored my surprise.
"Brother, think about whether it is possible to put it somewhere else, such as drawers, bookshelves and so on." Xiaoxuan kept reminding me, but I just responded to her with a positive look.
"I'm sure they were all on the computer desk at that time."
"Wang Lei, look here." Zhang Jiewei's voice pulled my and Xiaoxuan's eyes away, but I saw him staring at the wall clock motionlessly.
We also look at the wall clock. Its hour hand and minute hand stay at twelve o'clock, and the second hand vibrates regularly and mechanically in a position between twelve and one, but no matter how it beats, it can't move forward.
"Is it broken?" Xiaoxuan said this naturally, but it hit my nerves extremely heavily and was about to break...
I thought of one thing. I quickly turned back and turned on the computer. The sound of the host start-up made me extremely irritable. The boot time, which was not long, is now so long for me to wait before the trial. It tortures my nerves little by little, and even... wants to devour me.
Finally, when the boot was over, when the desktop appeared in front of me, the first time I went to look at the computer at 15:45. I looked down at the watch on my wrist. It's the same, and it's normal. But when my eyes were looking for the photo of Li Yalian I downloaded last night on the desktop, it was empty again.
Default download location: desktop. I can't get the habit of many years wrong, but the photo disappeared in my computer like this, just like the newspaper that published the photos of Li Yalian.
I quickly opened the mailbox. As expected, even the emails in the mailbox were missing, even including my previous two anonymous emails.
"It's all gone." Disappointed and a little angry, he turned his head and said to Zhang Jiewei and Xiaoxuan, but pretended to be Zhang Jiewei's complicated eyes.
"Wang Lei, I think there is something I need to tell you." Zhang Jiewei spoke slowly, but his eyebrows were still locked.
"What's the matter?" I think it's a little inexplicable. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Zhang Jiewei's gourd.
"You said you received a newspaper with Li Yalian's photos and an email with Li Yalian's photos, but we didn't see any of them. There was an obvious error in the wall clock for a period of time. Your nerves last night were in a state of high tension, and it is indeed very likely to misread the time on the computer. Secondly, you said that there was someone outside the door, but after you chased it out, you fell into an infinite cycle in the corridor. We all know very well that this is completely impossible to happen, at least in three-dimensional space. Zhang Jiewei rarely said so many words at once, but it made me extremely unhappy.
"So what do you mean?" I asked Zhang Jiewei with a little guilty.
"Today at Jiada University, you said you saw Li Yalian on the balcony upstairs, but you didn't get anything after it. In fact, I was wondering if you would have hallucinations." Zhang Jiewei actually said a sentence quite similar to what Xiaoxuan said before. Is it an illusion? I couldn't help smiling bitterly, but I was also a little confused. Didn't I ever suspect that I had hallucinations in Jia Da Huang Yang's office today?
Before I could open my mouth to refute, Zhang Jiewei went on to say, "Maybe it's really that you are under too much pressure recently that you will have hallucinations, but hallucinations are a precursor to paranoia. I think you still need to pay more attention to it. If you have time, find a psychologist to do a good adjustment, this should not happen. It's a matter."
Originally, I thought I was a very strong person and would never believe that I would have any hallucinations because of pressure, but a series of strange events recently made me doubt myself.
What everyone believes most should be themselves, but I have doubts about myself, which is an extremely abnormal thing in itself.
I asked Xiaoxuan and Zhang Jiewei to leave first, just to be quiet. But after some ideological struggle, I decided to check it out to dispel the doubts in my heart. In fact, in my heart, I really hope that it is an illusion, because the reality is really like this, and it is really terrible. Maybe I will collapse before this case is found out.
The public security system has its own special psychologists, but I don't want to bother them, because I don't want to be known by too many people. After all, a person with a mental illness is also an unhealthy person. If I am known by those guys, I'm afraid that I can't raise my head in front of them all my life.
At this time, I suddenly remembered the person who saved me last time. That time I was attacked when I followed Sun Xiaomeng, and he appeared in time to save me. Yes, his name is Chen Yujia, a psychologist who looks very scholarly.
I remember that he gave me a business card last time, so I habitually opened the drawer and looked through the business card box. I have a habit of putting all business cards in a black box, which is easy to find when needed. But I didn't find it this time. I recalled it carefully, and I really couldn't remember whether I put the business card in or not, so I looked for all the clothes, trousers and desks, but I still couldn't find them. Where did it go?
Looking back, I saw a goose-yellow card on the keyboard of the computer desk. Where was it? It's just that I can't remember when I put it there. Is it sleepwalking? It seems that my condition is not bad. I should visit this psychologist immediately.
According to the address on the business card, I came to West Fourth Street, which is a relatively prosperous street with people coming and going. In front is a small glass door, with several signs hanging on both sides, one of which reads: "Yujia Psychological Clinic".
After entering the door, there is a staircase, which is steep and narrow. After going up, it is a little more spacious. I counted along the aisle. There are seven or eight companies, large and small, and the office is pitifully small, similar to the leather bag company.
I'm a little doubtful whether I've found the wrong person. Maybe the book-like psychologist is just a liar, because psychology is not like other diseases. If you say there are, there are, and if you say no, you won't. It's completely rely on the psychologist's mouth. I think that the guy is slod and kind, and maybe he will do it occasionally. Do the trick of cheating.
But now that you have come, you'd better go and have a look. If I find out that this boy really did something bad, for the sake of saving my life, I will warn him once first.
Until I reached the end, I saw the sign of "Yujia Psychological Diagnosis and Treatment Office", and the doubt in my heart was even heavier.
Dongdong, I knocked on the door, hoping that there was no one in it, so I could leave.
The door opened with a squeak, and the bookish man appeared in front of me. He was as gentle as before and said politely, "Sir, please come in!"
I walked into the room and found that the interior was very elegantly decorated, the tables and chairs were spotless, and several pots of green silk bamboo were placed on the window sill, which made people feel a little fresh.
I looked at Chen Yujia carefully, and he was also looking at me. His eyes were as unpredictable as the sea. Even a criminal policeman like me felt powerless, as if the person in front of him could see through everything about me, but I knew nothing about him.
Chen Yujia didn't recognize me, but just regarded me as an ordinary patient. He said gently, "What can I do for you?"
I said, "You saved me last time, don't you remember?"
Chen Yujia's eyes turned slightly and immediately said, "Oh, you are the criminal police." Then he said, "Is there anything I can do for you?" Look like a good citizen.
I shook my head and said, "No, I'm just a patient."
Chen Yujia's expression suddenly changed from a citizen to a doctor, and his eyes returned to his previous depth. He looked at me and said in a low voice, "Do you often have hallucinations?"
I was shocked. How did this guy see it? The previous doubts about him have dissipated, but there are new doubts: at a level like him, he has long been famous in the municipal hospital. How can he open such an inconspicuous office in such a noisy place?
"How did you see it?"
Chen Yujia squeezed his lips, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, because he knew that whenever the patient asked, it proved that his diagnosis was correct.
"Because from the time you entered the door to now, your eyes have changed seven times, your attention is lax, and your fingers have been trembling slightly. Although these often appear in healthy people, since you have come here, it is enough to conclude."
Every secret is unpredictable before it is revealed. Once the truth is revealed, it looks light and boring. However, I can also conclude that Chen Yujia is definitely not a travel doctor who cheats money and sex. What he just showed is enough to make him worry about food and clothing according to his ability.
"Comrade criminal police, tell me, what symptoms do you have?" Chen Yujia's eyes are full of a desire. Perhaps few criminal policemen have become his patients, so he really wants to understand the inner world of the criminal police, and the illusion is a reflection of a person's real world.
I told a series of strange events that happened recently. Chen Yujia listened carefully and asked me questions from time to time.
After talking about all the strange things I experienced, I really wanted to get answers from his mouth, but this time Chen Yujia was not in a hurry to answer me. He frowned, as if thinking about a case, to find the real murderer from all kinds of doubts and contradictions.
After a long time, Chen Yujia slowly said, "Everything you said is related to the case. This may be caused by pressure, but it appears so frequently, which is a little strange."
It's strange. This is what I want to hear the most. This will prove that I don't have hallucinations. What I have seen and experienced has really happened, and this will be of great help to the detection of the case.
Chen Yujia continued: "If these are all hallucinations, then at such a high frequency, you are already terminally ill, but you are obviously not to that level now."
"So, what I saw is real?"
Chen Yujia shook his head and said, "This is not necessarily true, because we can't be sure which are hallucinations and which are real now, so we can't determine the frequency." He paused for a moment and then said, "I don't know if you mind if I use hypnotism on you, so that I can know more."
Hypnosis is an extremely mysterious treatment, which has been popular all over the world, but it has been controversial. Some people claim that it can really detect the deepest inner world of people, while others call it the biggest scam in the world. I'm afraid only those who have really experienced it know what the truth is, and no one knows how many of these people are accomplices of liars.
I know the meaning of Chen Yujia's question, because my profession has a certain degree of confidentiality. If my consciousness is completely controlled, many secrets that cannot be made public will be exposed to him. This is an adventure, and the bet is my trust in him.
Can I trust this very scholarly man in front of me?
"Think about it before replying. It's not necessarily now." Chen Yujia's tone is very gentle, without any reluctance, but it is easier to win people's trust.
"Okay, I agree."
Chen Yujia's face appeared with an imperceptible smile, as if he had known that I would agree, but I had fallen into his trap at this time and didn't know how to extricate myself.
At this time, Chen Yujia is like a creature from the unknown world. There is no human color in his eyes. It is very empty and deep, which makes people feel that he has entered a distant darkness. In the depths of darkness, there is something that will never be known.
"You are very thirsty!"
Chen Yujia slowly spit out these three words, and my throat immediately began to dry up, like being stuffed into a handful of sand and absorbing all the water in an instant.
"In the dark world, there is no light, no heat, only silence and cold..."
Chen Yujia's voice floated from afar, and my body began to float with his voice, floating in his fictional dark world.
Suddenly, I opened my eyes and saw a dark building. It's strange why I can see things in the dark, but I didn't think about it at this time, but unconsciously approached the black building.
The black building is very high, and the windows are tightly closed, but the door is open, like the mouth of a monster, waiting for the person who throws himself into the net. My feet walked over involuntarily and disappeared into the dark door.
The stairs are very long and steep, just like the one I just walked up. In the silent night, I heard my footsteps echoing in the air, and then floated up to the top, and then swirled down with a weaker voice and fell on my head.
I feel fear, a kind of fear from the bone, but my feet still take me up, as if there is a mysterious force calling me in the deepest part of the building.
I came to the second floor. All the doors were closed. The corridor was very dark, but I could see it.
It's not here. I'll continue to climb up.
When it was on the third floor, nothing happened.
All the way to the ninth floor, I finally saw that a door was open. The door is so narrow that it can almost only accommodate one person to pass through. I even doubt whether I can squeeze it out again after barely squeezing in. Maybe it will get stuck there and then something strange will appear...
I went to the door and looked inside, but this time I couldn't see anything inside. It was dark, even darker than a night without stars and moon.
Don't go in, don't go in!
I shouted in my heart, but my feet were no longer my slaves. It dragged me, a prisoner, into the endless black hole like a winner.
The hair all over the body is trembling, and the blood almost stops flowing. There is no temperature like a dead man, only two feet keep moving forward.
The narrow door crack made me feel that I was about to turn into a piece of paper, but at this time, my body could make unexpected stretching, and I finally squeezed in through the door.
I couldn't see anything in the room. I continued to walk forward reluctantly and groped in the dark. Strangely, since I walked into this dark room, I haven't heard my footsteps. The floor is soft, like human skin. This idea almost made me scream, but I absolutely dare not bend down to touch it. What if it really happens?
Suddenly, my vision recovered a little, and I vaguely saw a small dark shadow in front of me, so I slowly approached it. Maybe it was what I was looking for. Maybe I could wake up from this nightmare when I found it.
The shadow is slowly getting bigger and bigger, becoming more and more like a person!
Finally, I walked in front of the shadow, and a skeleton suddenly appeared in front of me. It was looking at me with two flesh and bloodless eyes!
I finally couldn't help screaming, but my throat was as if it was filled with sand, and I couldn't make a sound.
At this time, my hand also betrayed me, and it actually lifted it up to touch the terrible skeleton.
My hand gently stroked it up, but it was not as creepy as I imagined, but touched a flat thing. Although I don't know what it is, I'm sure that it is definitely not a skeleton!
However, the skeleton is in front of me, but I can't touch it. Isn't this a more terrible thing?
My pupils dilated quickly. When it was about the size of a cat's eye, I finally saw clearly that there was a smooth mirror in front of me, and the skeleton was just an illusion in the mirror.
Just when I was secretly happy, I suddenly remembered a more terrible thing!
How can there be a skeleton in the mirror?
Is it behind me?
The hair all over my body can feel the flow of air, and the cold skin is like pork just taken out of the refrigerator. I looked back in horror, but there was nothing.
But of course, when I looked back in the mirror, the skeleton was still standing in the mirror.
I stretched out my hand and stroked the mirror again. At this time, I found that the skeleton in the mirror also slowly raised its hand and touched me...
Wow, the sand in my throat was finally washed away by the rain. I took a long breath and swallowed the fresh air, and my eyes were full of surprise and fear.
"How did you do it? What do I see? ......”
A series of questions came out of my mouth. Although I wanted to calm down, I couldn't control my impulse.
