On the first night she woke up, Ruan Jing had a nightmare, but when she woke up in the morning, she couldn't remember what she had dreamed about, it was a grotesque feeling, like she could have a complete period of joy, anger and sorrow, but she was stripped from her brain alive.

"Miss Ruan?"

The voice that woke her up was still whispering, and Ruan Jing was already sweating profusely when she sat up.

In front of the hospital bed, a female doctor wearing a white coat and a mask bent her eyes at her, "Miss Ruan, I am a psychiatrist at Liuchuan Central Hospital, please come with me for a check-up." ”

It was still early, the corridor was extremely quiet, the new building and the old building of the central hospital were connected together, two people passed through the cold corridor of the hospital one after the other, and made a few bends to the extremely yin side, in front of a door that did not mark the department, the female doctor took out the key, opened the door, and turned her head to Ruan Jing and said: "I've been busy moving the department recently, and the office hasn't been cleaned up yet, don't you mind." ”

Ruan Jing shook his head.

The corridor is old, but the equipment in the office is very new, and as soon as you enter the door, there is a rubbed copy of Edvard Munch's "The Scream", and the twisted and grotesque characters make Ruan Jing frown uncomfortably and look away.

"Sit. The female doctor pointed to the chair across from the desk, and then turned her back to Ruan Jing and rummaged through something in the cabinet.

Ruan Jing sat down, the hands of the clock on the wall were ticking loudly, I don't know if it was her illusion, the time between the two pendulum rings seemed to be much longer than the last time.

Ruan Jing couldn't help but press his temples.

I don't know why the female doctor's things are so unorganized, she looked for more than ten minutes before she turned out a bound booklet and put it in front of her, this is a psychological investigation I did for your situation, you write it simply, don't be burdened. ”

Ruan Jing nodded, picked up a pencil and wrote.

The female doctor took a glass of water and put it between the two of them, stirring it gently with a spoon, rippling in circles and circles, always floating under Ruan Jing's nose, making it impossible for her to concentrate on writing.

"Don't be in a hurry, do it slowly. Write what you think in your heart. What's going on in your mind...... Just say it......"

The pendulum on the wall seemed to slow down a lot, and the sound grew louder and louder, and the voice of the female doctor gradually became indistinct, as if it were above the stratus clouds on the horizon, and the dragon was like a worm burrowing into her ears.

Ruan Jing heard someone ask her in her ear, "What did you see on the rooftop?" "️

What rooftop?

Ruan Jing's pen gradually stopped, the voice was still asking, kept asking, and then more voices rang, accompanied by a long and slow pendulum sound, as if she had to be asked to say something, she had a breath in her chest, as if she didn't vomit or be unhappy, she opened her mouth in confusion-

Suddenly, something flashed through his mind, and Ruan Jing only had time to catch a pair of eyes, which were filled with cold springs, and a long, clanging golden jade sound knocked down heavily in the bottom of his heart-

The pen in Ruan Jing's hand fell to the ground suddenly, as if breaking the spell of silence, and she felt that she could breathe again.

The clock on the wall was still moving slowly.

Ruan Jing bent down to pick up the pen, threw it on the table casually, raised his head, and his face was indifferent, "Doctor, have you found it?"

The female doctor's hand stirring the water cup paused for a moment before asking, "What?"

Ruan Jing pointed to the pendulum clock on the wall, "Since I came in, it has been striking more and more slowly. ”

The female doctor smiled, "I didn't find it, it seems that your observation skills are really good." ”

Ruan Jing shook his head, "It's not very good, I majored in criminal investigation in college, this is the basic skill." After speaking, she stood up, put the answer book in her hand on the table and pushed it over, "Doctor, I finished filling it out, I got up a little early in the morning, I went back to rest." ”

The female doctor nodded, she didn't reach for the booklet, her hand kept in her pocket, as if she was holding something, she watched Ruan Jing walk to the door unhurriedly, and then called out to stop her, "Ruan Jing." ”

The female doctor took off her mask, and under the mask was a delicate and slightly ordinary face, a face that was very unfamiliar to Ruan Jing now.

Ruan Jing turned to look at her suspiciously, "Is there anything else you have to do?"

The female doctor was silent for a moment before she smiled meaninglessly, "It's okay, I just think you're lucky." ”

"It's true that after a car accident, I only lost my memory for three years. ”

Ruan Jing walked out of the office, smiled and said goodbye, then took the door and let go of his hand, his palms were covered in cold sweat. She hurried out of this rarely visited area, swerved back to the main building of the Central Hospital, and at a turn, collided with a man who was hurrying towards her.

As soon as Ruan Jing raised his head, he met Xiao Chongyan's gaze - there was something so strong in his good-looking eyebrows and eyes that it seemed to be about to overflow.

Xiao Chongyan grabbed her with both hands, and his palms hurt her shoulders, Ruan Jing couldn't help but struggle, and he immediately let go, putting on an apologetic expression - like a bird of prey that had escaped at any time, he unwillingly put on Sven's coat when facing the prey that might escape at any time.

This thought only flashed through Ruan Jing's mind, and she asked suspiciously, "Mr. Xiao, why are you here?"

Xiao Chongyan stood up straight, "I saw the surveillance, that woman is not a doctor from the central hospital...... Are you okay. ”

Ruan Jing shook her head, "I'm fine, she tried to hypnotize me, but I don't know why it didn't work, I think, what she wants to know from me, or rather, she is confirming whether I really have amnesia." Although the girl had just encountered a danger, she was still able to analyze calmly, "It should be something I provoked before I lost my memory, I was worried that she was carrying a weapon, so I didn't dare to poke her." ”

Xiao Chongyan nodded, "You're alone in a foreign place now, and you don't remember what happened before, it's better to be cautious." ”

The sky outside the window was getting brighter, and there were more exchanges between doctors and patients in the corridor, and Ruan Jing couldn't help but look back when he saw this.

As if seeing through Ruan Jing's thoughts, Xiao Chongyan looked deeply in the direction she came, and the morning sun shone directly on his face, reflecting his slightly cold countenance. He said unhurriedly, "If you go back now, you won't be able to find the female doctor." If she didn't have the means, she wouldn't be able to come and go here. The top priority is to ensure your safety, the hospital is no longer available, if you don't have anything uncomfortable, we will go through the discharge procedures this afternoon. ”

With that, he turned around and walked in front, his handsome face attracting a few passing nurses to look back and whisper.

Ruan Jing looked at Xiao Chongyan's straight figure, and his heart was filled with suspicion. As an ordinary psychiatrist, he seems too calm, and as a perpetrator, he cares too much about her.

Is he calm by nature? Is he kind by nature? Ruan Jing doesn't know if he can believe him, but all people have character weaknesses, and there is no such thing as a personality that is too perfect, either because he doesn't know enough or because the mask he wears is too perfect. But no matter which possibility it was, Ruan Jing didn't want to figure it out.

Curiosity is too much of a luxury for a person who doesn't know what happened to him in the past.

Ruan Jing took a deep breath and hurriedly followed.
