After making a call to Chu Tianai, he sat down at his desk again and opened the notes left by the teacher.
"September 2005. It's been five years since I came into this world. By this time I was already a brilliant psychologist. Not only in Sanjiang University, but also in China, many patients with mental illness come to me for treatment.
One day, two special guests came to my office, they were police officers from the city's public security bureau, and explained to me their intentions: it turned out that they had encountered a difficult case and needed my assistance.
The details of the case were as follows: they received a report from a boy that his father had been killed at night with a knife. When the police arrived in a hurry, they found the boy crying in his heartbroken arms and hugging his father's body.
After understanding the situation, they learned that the boy's name was Li Tong, a child from a single-parent family, who had been raised by his father and depended on his father for his life.
But this morning, he woke up to find his father lying in bed, brutally slashed with a kitchen knife on the artery in his neck, and he lost too much blood and died.
But the strange thing is that after investigating and collecting evidence, the police found that there were only two of them in his house last night, and there were only Li Tong's fingerprints on the murder weapon. This shocked the police, could it be that he killed his father? But according to the neighbor's confession, Li Tong and his father have a very good relationship, and he has no reason to kill people at all.
The incomprehensible police could only temporarily detain Li Tong on the basis of the current evidence to assist in the investigation. With the support of professional equipment such as a lie detector, Li Tong still insisted that he had been sleeping last night and did not kill his father, and the data displayed by the lie detector also confirmed that he was not lying.
The police also knew that he could not have killed anyone, but all the evidence at the scene pointed to him. At this time, a policeman put forward a bold hypothesis: Could it be that Li Tong killed his father while sleepwalking?
This assumption was supported by other civilian police officers, but the assumption was a hypothesis after all, and it was impossible to judge whether the facts were true or not. So they found me, hoping to find the truth of the case with my hypnosis.
After listening to them, I knew that this case was not very difficult for me, so after a little thought, I agreed.
And they came to the interrogation room, and I saw the poor child. At this time, his face was yellow, his eyes were dull, and he had no energy. Just ask if your dearest relative has died, and he has become the object of suspicion, no one will be able to accept it, let alone that he is still a child.
I took out my swing hammer and got to the point, and comforted him before hypnosis: "You have to relax yourself as much as possible, you should know that only by cooperating with me can you find out the real murderer of your father, don't you want to know who killed him?" ā
Sure enough, hearing my words, a glimmer of light flashed in Li Tong's Gujing Wubo's eyes.
When the time comes, I lift the swing hammer into the air, "You have to keep an eye on it, don't think about anything, and try to empty yourself as much as possible." ā
Li Tong nodded lightly, his eyes fixed on the pendulum swinging from side to side. I counted the time, starting from the glass of water he had drunk when he came in, and the effects of the drugs should be on soon. After a while, Li Tong's eyes began to dilute, and I slowly entered the topic.
Under my hypnosis, I asked him to tell me about last night's dream, but he told me categorically that he didn't dream at all last night! This surprised me, I was absolutely confident in my hypnosis, I thought he would say that he had a dream similar to cutting a watermelon, but he said that he didn't dream at all!
Didn't dream? This meant that it was impossible for him to kill someone while sleepwalking, which was puzzling to me, but I had no clue for a moment and could only tell the police the results of the hypnosis. They are also confused, and the truth has become a mystery.
I thought it was going to end like this. Who knows, a few days later, the police came to me again, saying that Li Tong's cellmates reported to them that he had sleepwalked last night, and that he was staring straight ahead with his eyes staring straight ahead, and his eyes were empty, which frightened a prison inmate.
After listening to the police, I decided to try again. After the second hypnosis of him, I came to the same conclusion as last time: Li Tong did not dream!
I knew something had to go wrong. The cellmate had already reported that he was sleepwalking last night, so he must have dreamed. What was it that made him so sure he wasn't dreaming? After thinking about it, I thought that there was only one possibility, and that was that he had completely forgotten his dream.
But then I ruled it out. Because hypnosis is a means to awaken the deepest memories hidden in your heart, even if you have completely forgotten, through hypnosis, you can roughly recall, but Li Tong has no memory of dreams.
I paced and continued to analyze the cause. Why? What could explain this phenomenon? A person has no memory of what he has done, which can only mean that he did not do it at all, but the inmate clearly saw that he was sleepwalking, so ......
I patted my head and came to a conclusion that even scared myself, so I discussed with the police and decided to observe Li Tong's behavior at night.
Under the instructions of the higher-level leaders, the police locked me and Li Tong together. I slept during the day, and at night I stared at Li Tong to see what was wrong with him.
I kept watch for three nights, and finally on the fourth night, Li Tong got up in a dream, and I saw the dream clearly.
That's my superpower, Dream Watching, and it's because of it that I discovered this amazing secret!
The dream before he sleepwalked was all too familiar to me: it was two identical-looking people fighting for the initiative of the body. I watched until finally my kind prevailed and succeeded in taking possession of this body.
But I know that he is also a failure, because he has no consciousness of his own when he takes possession of his body, and he is just relying on a little memory of the original owner, living like a walking corpse.
When I woke up, I saw that he was getting weaker and weaker, and eventually he was pressed back into his dream, and as the dream vanished, he also disappeared. And the real Li Tong also returned to his body, and he couldn't find any abnormalities like normal people.
So that's it! I confirmed my suspicion that it is impossible to make a person completely forget what he has done, unless he is not the one who did it! If it weren't for him, maybe only his own kind would have been able to do it.
I was shocked and shocked to learn the truth. It turns out that I am not the only one who has come to this world, and there may be many other people of the same kind who have also "crossed" through various means. But some of them failed, just like this "dream man" in Li Tong's body last night, he could only come out when Li Tong was the weakest in his dream, but he had no memory to support him. I think it must have been that he didn't completely succeed when he "crossed" at that time, and it can even be said that he failed, so he lived like a lonely ghost, and he didn't have the freedom of his previous life, at least he had an independent consciousness in the past.
Although I knew the truth, I couldn't explain it to the police. All of a sudden, I was in a quandary. How can this be explained? It was indeed Li Tong who killed people, but it was not really him. Tell the police that he is the murderer, he was indeed wronged! But if not, who is the murderer? Will he still kill people in his dreams if he is released? Do you tell the truth to the police? More unlikely! I'm going to be taken crazy.
After thinking about it again, I had to tell the police that there was nothing I could do about this case, so let them ask for another master! Later, the police sentenced Li Tong to 10 years in prison on the basis of conclusive evidence at the scene.
Since this incident, I have been studying the mentally abnormal humans, and through constant contact and hypnosis, I have discovered more and more of their kind, but they have all failed to "cross".
Some "crossed" failed and died directly, leaving no shadow; Although some have successfully "crossed" and successfully entered the human body, they have lost their memories and can only continue to live by relying on the original memories of their bodies. There are also cases of losing both sides when "crossing over", not only the memory is confused, but also the spirit will be very problematic. What's more, both die when "crossing", making people die directly from their sleep.
In either case, they are undoubtedly a failure compared to themselves. This made me study even more frantically, looking forward to one day meeting a dreamer who had "crossed" the same success as myself.
However, I have found more and more cases of failure, and none of them have succeeded. It occurred to me later that the person who successfully "crossed" was just like himself, and there would be no mental illness. Finding them was undoubtedly as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack, so I gradually gave up looking for them. ā
When Wei Youqi saw this, he began to panic in his heart. He didn't know that most of those mentally ill patients were actually "dreamers" who were doing tricks! This made him feel the fragility and insignificance of human beings.
The teacher said that it is difficult to find a truly successful "dream man", but he has only been in contact with the dream world for less than a month, and he has found another successful case, that is, Shen Xiao! I don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune for me?
He suddenly thought: "The teacher's notes said that some 'dreamers' will cause both sides to lose when they 'cross', and even directly cause human beings to die in their dreams. The teacher died in a dream, could it have something to do with this? ā
Immediately, Wei Youqi shook his head again and denied his thoughts, "The teacher, as a "dream man", can't dream, let alone meet the same kind when he sleeps, so what happened to him?" How could he die in a dream? Wei Youqi never understood the cause of the teacher's death.
