——————————————

Yesterday's weather forecast said it was going to rain today, but so far it hasn't rained.

It's overcast outside, and it's chemistry class; I don't think the chemistry teacher who taught us is of a high level, and almost no students can understand what he is saying, so it is better to look out the window in a daze.

To be honest, I don't have much motivation to study lately.

My sister is sick, I have to take care of her, and there are still many things I have to deal with at home; Mom seems to be busy lately and often doesn't come home; I felt irritable.

…… Why is it that other people's children can study without doing anything, but I can't?

——————————————

Ouyang Luo looked at the old policeman and then at Lin Xu, speculating about something in his heart.

The old policeman saw that it was a "big acquaintance", and immediately shook his head and was about to take the book back; However, he was slapped by Lin Xu halfway: "Why don't you accept it?" ”

The policeman smashed it and said, "Young man, don't entertain the police; It's illegal to do so, and you can be arrested and locked up for a few days. ”

"I didn't amuse you! Someone really stalked me! Lin Xu was a little anxious.

The middle-aged policeman sighed and looked at Lin Xu: "You have reported the case five times, tell me, which time did we not do our duty?" Isn't this going to your house for nothing? ”

"This time I have evidence, there is half a palm print on the glass of my room!" Lin Xu hurriedly said.

The policeman was stunned, looked at the man with some suspicion, and took a breath: "Really?"

Lin Xu: "Really, I can take you to see it now." ”

After thinking about it, the policeman nodded, slapped Lin Xu's hand away from the notebook, turned the page of registration, and said, "Okay, let's go again." ”

Lin Xu was overjoyed, smiled brightly, and hurriedly thanked him.

The police officers who visited the field were only two or three; It can't be said that I am not dedicated, but there are not many people left in this place that is about to be demolished, and most of them have gone to the new office area.

After a few turns of the key on the somewhat loose keyhole, an old security door opened. The small space is displayed in front of everyone's eyes; Beds, tables, chairs, washstands, miscellaneous crowded together, unobstructed; But the good thing is that it is very neat and clean.

Ouyang looked at this projectile land curiously, while Lin Xu brought a policeman into the bathroom.

"Where?" The small bathroom was crowded with two people, and the policeman looked around with wide eyes, but he didn't see any marks.

Lin Xu motioned for the police to get out of the way, and was about to point to the glass, but wherever he looked, where was there any palm print?

The policeman looked at him suspiciously.

"You go out and wait for me." Lin Xu said simply, without making superfluous explanations. After letting the person out, he turned on the hot water, and the narrow bath room was filled with steaming white mist in just a moment, but the glass was clean under the white mist.

The people outside looked at the man's movements inexplicably.

Lin Xu was fortunate to make the water the hottest...... At this moment, the already stuffy cabin is like a sauna, hot and stuffy, making people breathless.

Ouyang hurriedly stood by the door, frowning, and breathing hard.

"How so?!" The muttering to himself spat out in Lin Xu's mouth, and he looked at the glass in horror and disappointment—it was so clean that it didn't stain a single piece of dust, and there was nothing on it.

"Did you find it?" A policeman fanned the wind back and forth with his shirt pulling.

The ...... man was completely stunned.

"Say something!" Another policeman shouted.

Then they saw the man in the white air raise his head mechanically, and his expression remained stiff and frightened as if he had been drained; A walking corpse drowning in a hot mist.

This expression really frightened the three people outside, and they all crowded to the man to ask long and short questions.

However, after a long time, the words that came out of his thin lips were: "Palm print...... Gone......

The two policemen glanced at each other, full of doubts, and then looked at Lin Xu at the same time, their lips slightly opened, as if they wanted to say something, but they didn't say it after all.

One policeman took Ouyang Luo out, and the other patted Lin Xu on the shoulder, and said in a sympathetic and sympathetic tone: "Your nerves are too tense. With that, he shook his head, sighed and walked away.

Lin Xu stood there as if he was frozen, his clothes and hair were wet, and with that lonely expression, how miserable and miserable it was.

I don't know how long it took, but some deep male voices asked softly, "Are you okay?"

The slightest hint of overheated water washed over half of the man's body, and he didn't feel hot. Ouyang stretched out his arm and turned off the knob of the shower, turned around and took a dry towel and handed it to Lin Xu, but when he saw Lin Xu's straight eyes, he finally sighed slightly and helped him wipe his hair.

"I think...... You should see a psychiatrist. Ouyang didn't have that look like a gentleman at the moment, but had a kind of solemn and calm aura.

Lin Xu was silent.

"Psychological problems can make you hallucinate. Or even ...... It can directly affect bodily functions. ”

"They're gone?" A trance sound sounded muffled under the towel.

"Well, they think you're ...... too"

"I saw it yesterday!" Lin Xu turned his face and looked at Ouyang with hope, as if he wanted to get an affirmative answer.

However, Ouyang Luo was just silent.

"There was still ...... when I left this morning," Lin Xu muttered to himself.

Ouyang took a deep breath and put the towel down: "Someone once did an experiment to blindfold a person and pour a bottle of cold water on his arm, but the sound of hot water in his ears and the use of verbal intimidation made that person believe that he was burned. ”

Lin Xu raised his eyes to look at him.

Ouyang smiled slightly: "As a result, his skin really had a layer of blisters and felt pain, and it didn't get better until he took off the blindfold to explain the real situation." ”

"What do you mean...... Do I have a psychological problem?" Lin Xu frowned.

"It's not surprising that everyone has psychological problems to a greater or lesser extent." As he spoke, Ouyang Luo glanced around: "You are too narrow here, living for a long time will make people naturally feel depressed; You can also become insecure because of your financial constraints...... Dull and floating, in some ways, can cause some negative effects. ”

Lin Xu looked at Ouyang with a little surprise, he seemed to have opened the door to a new world and saw a different sky—this gentleman didn't seem to be as cynical as he looked.

"So...... Do you think I'm really delusional?" Lin Xu turned his eyes to look at the smooth glass again, and the glass reflected the reflection of the two of them.
