There is nothing behind it.

Li Ben shook his head and said to himself, "Impossible. ”

He looked at the figure on the screen again, comforted himself, and said, "It's a coincidence..."

Having said that, in the bottom of his heart, he had already begun to think irrepressibly.

He knew that if he didn't figure it out, the irritability would stay with him.

Suddenly, a wave of tiredness hit, and Li Ben, who seemed to have been sleepless for many days, finally couldn't hold it anymore. He fell into bed, fell asleep quickly, and then had another dream,

The content of the dream is very unfriendly, and the chaotic mental images converge into a picture, allowing him to wander back and forth in the bizarre world, and the fragmented scenes have no logic at all, but they can be quietly accepted by his unconscious self.

When he woke up, it was noon.

Li Ben remembered today's plan, hurriedly took a taxi, came to the driver's house, and met his wife.

"Hasn't it been characterized as a suicide?" asked the driver's wife after seeing Li Ben, who was pretending to be a police officer.

"That's right, but we need to double-check the previous information to make sure there are no mistakes, so please cooperate. ”

"Well, the thing was that at noon that day, I thought he had gone out to work and found that the car keys were still at home, so I went into the house to see ......"

The woman recounted the experience of discovering that her husband had committed suicide.

Li Ben asked her: "Did your husband have any contact with any strange people before his death, or did he have any abnormal behavior?" ”

"Didn't you have a record of these things earlier? He came into contact with a lot of people, I don't know, and if he behaved abnormally, he didn't have any abnormal behavior, but he had nightmares for a while. ”

"Did he say what the dream was about?"

"When he dreams of ghosts or something, and when someone talks to him, he listens, and when he wakes up, he forgets the details, and there is nothing else but that. ”

"Okay, I got it. Li Ben then symbolically asked a few inconsequential questions, and then left.

"Dreaming..."

Li Ben came to the psychiatric hospital again, found the doctor who treated Zhu Hancheng, and asked him about the situation.

"The frequency of drug treatment is very low, and in most cases patients are doing well unless the symptoms are particularly severe. We usually let the patients read books and do activities in the hospital. Mental illness is something that needs to be treated for a long time, and it is not urgent. ”

"What books are you reading?"

"All kinds of popular science books, novels and the like are no different from what ordinary people read. Zhu Hancheng likes to read some professional books on mental illness, which helps to clearly understand his condition and maintain his sanity. There are also some books on psychology, such as "The Interpretation of Dreams" and "Psychology and Life". ”

After asking here, the time was in the evening, and most of the people in the city were off work.

Li Ben estimated that it was too late to go home at this time, so he simply called Chen Yan and wanted to come out to talk to him, and then go back to the rented apartment for the night later.

Chen Yan was invited out, and the two met at a small street restaurant.

As soon as Li Ben saw Chen Yan, he knew that he had something to worry about. Sure enough, as soon as Chen Yan opened his mouth, he asked, "What did you find?"

Li Ben could only shake his head, he couldn't tell Chen Yan that he guessed that Zhu Hancheng could go out of his body to scare people.

"Then forget it, don't worry about it, just come back and go to work, those guys don't have the courage to really hurt people. ”

"Have you been bothered lately?" asked him.

Chen Yan said: "I can't sleep well." ”

"You're having nightmares too?"

"It's not me, it's Ah Ying, who always wakes up in the middle of the night... You just said that?"

"Well, you know that the driver has committed suicide, right?"

"I know everything you know from private investigators. ”

"I went to his wife and asked, he always had nightmares before he committed suicide, I haven't slept much lately, but as long as I sleep, the same thing happens. ”

"It's just a coincidence... There are more people who have nightmares every day. ”

"I think so too. Li Ben said in obedience.

Chen Yan changed the topic and asked him, "What about Zhu Hancheng?"

"It's hard to say. ”

"Why?"

"There is no suspicion from the current situation, but ......"

"But what?"

"It's hard to say. ”

"I'll go..."

"I'll take a look in the next two days. ”

Li Ben's conjecture is that if Zhu Hancheng really has supernatural abilities, then his modus operandi is to sneak into other people's dreams and induce others to commit suicide through psychological suggestion and hypnosis. Such an invisible method of killing people is impossible for normal people to think of.

Of course, Li Ben couldn't tell Chen Yan about these fantastical thoughts, and the two of them talked for a while, and then left.

He walked in the neon scene, looking at the colorful city, laughing at his unrealistic, and at the same time eager to think of ways to deal with it.

Unfortunately, this is a world based on modern science, and he is only a small surgeon, not a monk, who has no clue about dealing with supernatural events.

This sense of powerlessness almost made him completely abandon the strange conjecture in his heart, but every time he said that he wanted to forget it, he couldn't help but remember it more deeply, and his thoughts seemed to fall into an inextricable whirlpool.

"Feudal superstition... Although people talk about this, but when they really encounter strange things, how many people are really fearless?" Li Ben couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's go to him directly, as long as he is not stupid, it is estimated that there will be no results..."Li Ben decided to go directly to Zhu Hancheng the next day and have a face-to-face communication in reality.

"Who are you?" asked Zhu Hancheng's mother.

"I was an elementary school classmate in Seoul, and I heard that he was okay and came to talk to him. ”

"Oh, Seoul he went fishing in the mountains, just the old Bai family's fish pond. ”

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. ”

"No thanks, go ahead. ”

Li Ben entered the mountain, asked a few passers-by for directions, and came to the fish pond.

There was only one person around, he was lying on a chair, fishing with a fishing rod in his hand, it was Zhu Hancheng.

He glanced at Li Ben and did not speak.

Li Ben approached him, and was equally silent as he fished.

After a while, Zhu Hancheng asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"I'm here to pay a return visit to see how you're recovering. ”

"Oh! good, I'm good. ”

"I heard about what happened when you were a child, lost in the mountains?"

"Well, there's this, what's wrong?"

"Do you remember what happened?"

"I got lost in the mountains, I was frightened, I cried until my throat was hoarse, I stayed in it for two days before I was found, and when I went back, I was terrified, and I screamed nonsense for a while, and that's it. ”

"Nothing special to remember?"

"Nope. ”

"Heh, you should recognize me, right?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, this isn't the first time you've seen me. ”

"What are you talking about?"

"I am sorry for your father's death. ”

Zhu Hancheng frowned, stared at Li Ben, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Chen Yan and I did our best. ”

"Who is Chen Yan? Who are you? Don't say something inexplicable. ”

"Well, you can treat me as a lunatic, so be it. After saying that, Li Ben was going to leave.

"You're dead. Zhu Hancheng's voice came.

Li Ben stopped and turned to look at him.

"It's not just you, your family, Chen Yan's family, the driver's family, and that Su Xiaochuan, all have to die. ”

Zhu Hancheng's mouth didn't open, and the voice came directly into Li Ben's mind, he smiled, the corners of his mouth curled up in an exaggerated arc, and continued: "I know you have a voice recorder hidden in your pocket, and none of this is useful to me. ”

"Why?" asked Lee.

"Why do you want to die? I don't know, I just want you to die!"

"How did you do that?"

"That's the point, but why should I tell you? Tell you you you don't understand. I know you guessed my modus operandi, but you have no evidence, no power to stop it, you can only wait for death... Don't worry, you're the first to perceive my abilities, and I'll let you die last. ”

"Really?"

Zhu Hancheng didn't say anything, turned his head and continued fishing, looking extremely confident.

Then, with a muffled thud, he felt a sudden bout of vertigo and fell to the ground.

The drowsiness made it difficult for him to control his shouting, and in his fog, he saw Li Ben pick up a large stone with both hands and smash it in front of his eyes.

This was followed by another thump, and the sound of bones shattering.

Blood spilled from Zhu Hancheng's head and flowed into the fish pond.

His hand twitched and slapped the ground, and Li Ben lifted the stone and smashed it down again, causing him to completely lose his breath.

Zhu Hancheng's face was already bloody and fleshy, sunken in a large area, and his teeth were shattered to the ground.

Long before he came, Li Ben was thinking about two situations, one of his own guesses was pure nonsense, and the other guessed that if it was true, what should he do.

Needless to say, the former is gone. The latter, you have to think clearly, how to deal with a person with supernatural powers?

The answer is no way.

I simply can't find evidence to prove that the judicial and law enforcement agencies of society are unable to deal with surreal incidents. It is impossible to expect a solution through normal channels.

Then only by persuasion ... That's what Lee Ben thought last night. That's why he said something inexplicable before he was about to leave.

Until he heard Zhu Hancheng don't know how to use to convey his voice to himself, he saw Zhu Hancheng's malicious smile, coupled with those crazy words. He finally determined that Zhu Hancheng had special abilities, and judging from his performance, he didn't intend to let go of himself and the others at all.

Faced with this situation, he also prepared for the worst in advance.

Fight like Kilkenny cats.

Under Zhu Hancheng's surveillance capabilities, Li Ben knew that it was useless for him to carry out any assassination planning. It is impossible to get away with murder after killing people under modern criminal investigation methods.

Therefore, he can and must decisively use all the most direct methods to solve Zhu Hancheng.

There was also a scene where he casually picked up a nearby stone and smashed Zhu Hancheng to death.

After determining that Zhu Hancheng was out of breath, Li Ben called the police and turned himself in.

In his statement, he gave a clear account of his investigation experience, conjectures, and final motives.

So much so that the police felt that he might be a psychopath with delusions of victimization, and applied for a psychiatric evaluation of him.

A few days later, Lee was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.

"Li Ben, your friend has come to see you. Li Ben's therapist said to him.

In the meeting room, Li Ben met Chen Yan.

Chen Yan said: "I don't understand. ”

"Don't understand what?"

"Nothing is understood. ”

"Does A-Ying still have nightmares?"

Chen Yan shook his head and said, "This is one of the things I don't understand, what you said is true?"

"I don't know now because everyone else says it's fake. Li Ben smiled bitterly.

Chen Yan held his forehead with one hand and said, "Your parents, I will help." ”

Lee Ben said, "Thank you. ”

"Thank you. Chen Yan also said.
