"What kind of weapon do you want, and what are you going to do with it?" Lu Ran asked Guo Xiaosi.

"I can't help it, I need a knife. Actually, I don't want to, but I want that knife......"

Lu Ran looked at Guo Xiaosi and shook his head without saying a word, and he asked tentatively, "Are you going to use a knife against him?"

"I don't want to! Lu Ran, I can't help it, I really can't help it, I can't suffer this kind of torture anymore, I want to end this qiē.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"

"It sounds like you think it's too torturous to go on like this, you just want to end this qiē, I understand you, killing him is not your intention. Lu Ran wanted to alleviate Guo Xiaosi's strong contradictions and self-blame at the moment.

This kind of strong conflict will tear Guo Xiaosi's heart crazy, and the more he blames himself, the more he pinchs his neck and can't breathe.

However, when Lu Ran touched his torn heart, his heart seemed to drip blood, and this torture made him ache.

"I don't want to kill him, but he's going to kill me. You know, I can't help it.

I can't repeat the nightmare that I've been killed by him every night, then I'll be crazy. ”

Guo Xiaosi put his hand in his hair in pain and grabbed his scalp.

"I understand, I believe you, you don't want to kill him, you just can't help it. You just don't want to watch yourself get killed alive by him.

It is terrible to be killed by him, but why not make you hurt when you kill him?

I think maybe you don't want a knife. Lu Ran tactfully guided Guo Xiaosi's thoughts.

"It's not a knife, what is it?"

"You don't want to kill him, do you?

I'm not going to give you a knife, I don't want to lead you to killing, the consequences are irreversible, even if it's just in a dream. ”

Guo Xiaosi listened, if he had a feeling, he calmed down a little, but he was still confused, "But, what can I do?"

"Is there anything more important in your heart than ending this qiē?" Lu Ran tried to divert Guo Xiaosi's attention.

"I ...... I don't dare. Guo Xiaosi replied.

"What don't you dare?"

"I want to ask him, what the hell is going on with this qiē, what the hell happened to him?!"

"Why don't you dare ask?"

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid he can't bear it, I'm afraid I can't help him, I'm afraid he'll still kill me. Guo Xiaosi trembled, and once again showed a sense of helplessness.

"You want to help him, but you're afraid to try?"

"I want to help him, but terrible things can happen, and I can't help him. ”

Lu Ran seemed to see Guo Xiaosi in front of him, shivering one night when he was eight years old.

"Not everything you can't do, you've grown up. ”

"I've grown up ......"

"Yes. You're already 1.8 meters tall, have you forgotten?"

"I've grown up, yes, you're right. ”

"Try to be brave. Now you might be able to help him? Don't you want to save him?"

"Save the ......" Guo Xiaosi seemed to have forgotten that there was still this word in the world, he was both surprised and had some expectations, his heart was like a pool of stagnant water, slowly heated by a temperature.

"Can I save him?"

Lu Ran didn't speak, just nodded.

"Do you believe that I can save him? I just hid in the corner, and I never thought about who I could save. A little light appeared in Guo Xiaosi's eyes.

"Do you want to save him?" Lu Ran asked rhetorically.

"Yes!" Guo Xiaosi replied categorically.

"That's right, that's what you really mean. If you kill him, even if you live, you will be punished by your conscience, and you may fall into another nightmare from which you cannot extricate yourself.

But if you save him, maybe there will be hope for life, at least, you won't regret it, right?"

"No regrets. Yes, I never thought that if I killed him, I would blame myself and I would regret it. Guo Xiaosi nodded.

"Now, do you have a little courage?"

"Like, there is. ”

Lu Ran saw that Guo Xiaosi no longer insisted on killing his friend, which was a turning point.

"People often find themselves in a dilemma because of one of their weaknesses, you lack the courage and you don't want to lose your friendship. So you will feel contradictory, and contradictions make you miserable.

If I had to give up one, I would rather see you pick up courage than lose your friendship.

You're such a person who values friendship that you don't want to hurt him. Lu Ran said his analysis of Guo Xiaosi and encouraged him.

"You're right, I don't want to hurt him, I'm wrong, I shouldn't hurt him. Guo Xiaosi sobbed, although he hadn't done anything, he was already full of deep self-blame.

In the past, he grew up in self-blame and blame, and in his dreams, too.

It wasn't until today that Lu Ran told him that he could be brave and do something that no longer blamed himself, and he suddenly woke up.

He wanted to cry. For the past, for so many years, unhappy yourself.

Lu Ran didn't stop him, didn't comfort him, and let him cry out of his fear.

"Thank you, Lu Ran. I thought, I'll try. ”

"You should thank yourself. Believe in yourself, you are sincere to him, he is your friend. This time, I decided not to give you the knife you wanted, I want you to see your courage.

Please close your eyes, Guo Xiaosi. ”

Lu Ran decided to hypnotize him again, so that in his dreams, he could also remember what he wanted to say to him, instead of being overwhelmed by his fear and repeating the previous nightmare.

Lu Ran didn't know if this would be successful, and he didn't know what would happen the next time he woke up from his dream.

However, they all have to have the courage to try.

Lu Ran asked Guo Xiaosi to relax, trying to recall those relaxed and happy days when he played with his dream friends.

"When you see him, you remember, you're here to save him. ”

Lu Ran gave a suggestive order to Guo Xiaosi.

He repeatedly strengthened the hint to Guo Xiaosi, so that in his dreams, he would automatically remember the mission he had to remember before going to bed.

After the consultation, he thanked Lu Ran again and went back.

"He can finally get some sleep. Lu Ran thought.

After Guo Xiaosi left, Lu Ranwu wondered to himself, who was this person who was pestering him in Guo Xiaosi's dream?

Is it Chen Haonan?

The answer is likely to be no, Guo Xiaosi and Chen Haonan have always been iron buddies, which is very consistent with the beginning of his dream, but it can't explain the ending.

Who else could it be?

Is it Guo Xiaosi's other childhood friends?

Lu Ran touched his chin and carefully recalled all the details of their conversation.

He remembered that Guo Xiaosi once said that this strange dream had only happened after that terrible night when he was eight years old.

However, it doesn't make sense, which childhood friend is related to that incident?

But in any case, the impact of that incident on Guo Xiaosi was far-reaching.

It seems that it is necessary to understand the ins and outs of that incident, and I hope that next time, Guo Xiaosi will be willing to talk about it.
