Regarding Huang Rui's belief that there was a killer organization that wanted to kill his father, Lu Ran had always been very puzzled.

He slowly combed through the information that the old man had told him, but he was still confused by Huang Rui's symptoms.

The old man replied: "When his father was in middle school, he stumbled when he came home one day, and there were many blood stains and bruises on his body, and at first glance he was injured, especially like he had been beaten.

He asked his father what was going on, and his father only said that he had been bullied by a few thugs, and he pulled open his clothes and pants, and found that there were still scratches from knives. He kept asking his father, and he said that he was targeted by a few money grabbers, and they took his day's wages.

Huang Rui felt sorry for his father, and said that he wanted to avenge his father, but his father told him not to go, and said that he had seen the appearance of those robbers clearly, they were all wearing black clothes, and he would go to the police tomorrow. Let the police deal with them. Huang Rui couldn't resist his father, so he gave up. ”

"Did his father go to the police?"

"Go. But I didn't see him come back. Since then, Huang Rui always said that my father was at home, but he wouldn't let me into his house. I'm always worried about him. ”

Hearing this, Lu Ran suddenly became enlightened.

In the flash of light, he strung all the clues together.

His mood is complicated, there is a fire of ignorance in his heart, a fire of anger against the gangster who killed innocents, and a fire that really wants to help Huang Rui and help the once helpless child.

In addition to being a rational counselor, Lu Ran is also a sensual person with a clear distinction between good and evil.

It has always been his heart's desire to punish evil and promote good, and he chose to be a counselor to help those who really need help.

"And then, has he always been like this?"

"Yes. When he grew up, he went to the city, and when he left the old house, I never saw him again. ”

The old man sighed, Lu Ran pondered the old man's words, and he suddenly felt that he was confused again.

This old man in front of him.

"You ...... Haven't seen it again?" Lu Ran asked rhetorically, his rational brain telling him that this was impossible.

If they haven't seen each other again, why did the old man appear here, in this city, he still cares about Huang Rui so much.

However, what he saw in front of him, this living person, made him have to believe that it was true.

"Yes. The old man replied yes in the affirmative.

"So, how did you—how did you end up here?"

The old man smiled faintly, "You should ask, why are you here?"

The old man looked at him with a smile in his eyes, and Lu Ran couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

"Why am I here...... Yes, every qiē here makes me feel so unreal. From the very beginning, I suspected that here, all of these qiē, were not real at all......!

"I also don't have zài. ”

The old man said, his expression indifferent, as if he had said something very ordinary.

Lu Ran once again had a strange feeling.

"Here, is it a vision produced by Huang Rui's hallucination?" Lu Ran said his bold conjecture.

"Yes. You're smart, Dr. Luk. Have you forgotten that you hypnotized him and brought him to this illusion? It was the world he saw in a hypnotic state. ”

"Is this his world of consciousness?" Lu Ran thought quickly, "Isn't this supposed to be stored in his own mind? Why did I come in?"

"You don't get into his mind, you just see, what he sees. Those people and things that are stored in his memory.

It's these sunglasses that help you do just that. ”

The old man pointed to the bridge of his nose.

"My sunglasses? Are you saying they have the ability to see other people's conscious worlds?"

The old man nodded.

Lu Ran remembered that he hadn't taken off the black sunglasses. He lifted his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose again.

He recalled what he had seen and heard along the way, the black-clothed men with knives, and the old yellow mud walls, and gradually understood.

He remembered something again, and asked anxiously: "Then if I take off this pair of sunglasses, can I go back?"

The old man shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not that easy, these sunglasses just help you connect to his consciousness, but how to disconnect ......"

Before the old man finished speaking, Lu Ran raised his hand and took off his sunglasses, whether he could go back or not, he would know if he could take them off.

He took off his sunglasses, waited for three seconds, and then looked up at the old man standing in front of him.

The old man looked at him too.

"Hey", Lu Ran sighed, it seemed that it was useless, so he put back his sunglasses and continued to think about Huang Rui.

"But there's still one thing I can't figure out. Lu Ran asked: "People will fully reveal their true hearts in hypnosis, if this is really the world of consciousness presented by Huang Rui in the hypnotic state, then he should let me find his house quickly and help him rescue his father." Why is he surrounding me with a labyrinth? Does he not trust me at all, is he lying to me?"

He looked up at the old man.

The old man shook his head, "No, he didn't lie to you. He lied to himself. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The path he chose for himself was also a dead end!"

"Is the same a dead end?"

"Yes, this is not the first time he's gone down that dead end.

The illusion you hypnosis put him in is the one he often sees in his dreams.

It's just that every time he enters the dream realm, he forgets that he has been here, and he also chooses the wrong dead end. ”

"Why is this happening?" Lu Ran lowered his head and touched his chin. While pondering again.

If Huang Rui's heart is desperate to find a way home and protect his father, then he should dream of a straight road to home, and he should dream that he has protected his father.

Unless, he wants to see his father, and he is forced to see him because he doesn't want to see him, or he doesn't dare to see him.

This ambivalence of "self-deception" is also known as "self-defense". He was protecting himself.

What was he afraid of?

Also, the old man said that the day after he saw his father being beaten, he went out but did not see him come back, but Huang Rui kept saying that his father was at home. What's going on here?

Could it be ......

The old man saw that Lu Ran didn't speak, and said again: "I said that I am here to help you, in fact, I am also here to help him, I have always been a good person to help him in his heart, from this point of view, I have always been in his heart."

It's just that he hasn't seen me for so long that he almost forgot about my save, so I secretly came out to see you, and he didn't find out either. ”

Lu Ran listened, nodded, and understood.

That's right, Huang Rui may be deceiving himself, he cried and shouted that he wanted to see his father, but he didn't really want to see his father, he lied to himself.

And the old man is the true heart of his heart's desire to help.

Without Huang Rui noticing, he came to ask Lu Ran for help.

He is a ray of life in Huang Rui's heart.

"Thank you, I think I know him better. ”

Lu Ran stretched out his hand, wanting to shake the old man's hand sincerely.

Suddenly, Lu Ran didn't stand firm under his feet, fell down, and fell to the ground, he felt that the sky was spinning, as if an earthquake was about to happen, and the old man was also unstable in his center of gravity, and his body shook.

"What's going on? Why is there an earthquake, it hurts? Lu Ran rubbed his buttocks that fell to the ground, the pain was very real. He stood up tremblingly as he leaned on the trunk of the tree.

"He must have come to the end of that road. He should have woken up by this time. If his wish is not fulfilled and is shattered again, then he will wake up and the place will fall apart. The old man said.

"Is the sky falling apart, so can I go back?"

"I forgot to tell you that every feeling you feel here is real, your consciousness is connected to his consciousness, and if you stop breathing, then in reality, you will soon be brain dead. ”

"Brain dead?, that means that if I die here, the real me in reality will never wake up?!" Lu Ran was frightened.
