Shen Ran closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was no longer the two suspects, and the place where he was was no longer an interrogation room.

He was in a dark and empty land.

The four wildernesses are deserted, and some are desolate.

When he looked more closely, it turned out that not far in front of him stood a large three-story house.

It was dusk, night was falling, and he couldn't see the details of the house clearly, only vaguely distinguishing that the building had a total of three floors, symmetrical left and right, and the design was simple.

He looked closer, and the walls were mottled and uneven, and when he wiped them with his hands, some dust fell down.

"Are you coming in?"

Shen Ran was taken aback, he turned his head to look to the left, only to suddenly find that there was a person standing on his left side.

It was a child, just below his shoulders.

He suddenly relaxed.

The child had cut his hair short, and the bangs on his forehead covered his eyes, so Shen Ran couldn't see his appearance clearly, and he couldn't even tell him if he was a boy or a girl.

He was carrying a blue school bag and was supposed to be a student.

He reached out a hand and pulled a key out of the pocket of his pants.

The place where he was standing was the doorway of the house.

No wonder he asked me if I wanted to go in, it turned out to be his home. But why did he let me into his house, and what did that mean? Shen Ran thought.

"He can see the world of consciousness in other people's minds." As soon as Xu Guangyuan saw Lu Cheng, he threw this sentence to him.

Xu Guangyuan was secretive before, indeed out of consideration, and he was unwilling to tell others about Shen Ran's special situation.

But after listening to Lu Cheng's story today, he knew that it was Shen Ran himself who chose to expose this secret to Lu Cheng.

Now that he's done this, he has nothing to hide. It's important to get to the bottom of the situation.

Seeing that Lu Cheng still didn't fully understand, Xu Guangyuan continued to explain: "I can't explain this matter to you clearly for a while. In the past, we have been doing a study on how to connect brain consciousness between individuals, and he was also involved in it. Not only that, he even did his own experiments, but because his constitution was too special...... Experiments, experiments failed. ”

"Failed?" Lu Cheng asked.

"Well," Xu Guangyuan's expression was heavy, "Sort of." The results of the experiment are there, but the problem is that the effect is too significant. His already sensitive emotional perception ability was amplified by the experimental instrument hundreds, thousands of times. Even after being disconnected from the experimental equipment, he retained this ability. That's where the problem goes. ”

Lu Cheng seemed to understand a little, but he still asked uneasily, "What's the problem?" ”

"His ability to perceive the emotions and consciousness of others is far beyond normal levels. Let's just say that he has a special function.

Generally speaking, he can perceive the other person's emotions and even see the other person's consciousness world through touch, and truly realize the consciousness connection between people. And that's just one of his main abilities.

Sounds cool, huh, but it's not a good thing for him, the energy of the human body is always balanced, and when he is connected to other people's consciousness, it will consume a lot of physical energy, and when he fully wakes up, he will feel weak. So his body is much weaker than before, and his body temperature is lower than that of ordinary people.

And there is a fatal risk when using this function. ”

"What risk?"

"When he is connected to the consciousness of others, his consciousness is completely integrated into the consciousness of the other person. Although what he sees and feels in the world of consciousness is illusory, in his senses, it is completely real. It's like when you dream, but it's a much more realistic dream. If he had been slashed with a knife inside, he would have felt the same level of pain as his real touch. If he suffocates inside, then his breathing in reality may also be interrupted. ”

Lu Cheng realized the seriousness of the matter. "What? Is there no way to avoid this danger? ”

Theoretically, if he had woken himself or the other party up immediately, it would have been possible to avoid further danger. However, if he forgets that he is in the world of consciousness at the moment, or if the situation is too urgent to wake up, then he will also be in danger. ”

It's horrible. Why did he do this experiment on himself......

Lu Cheng was puzzled, and at the same time he was surprised and uncomfortable, in short, he had mixed tastes, and he couldn't understand.

Lu Cheng knew that there was no point in thinking about it now.

"He asked me to inform you, can you keep him safe?" He asked dryly.

"There are several ways to do this. But risks are always unavoidable, and I have to look at the situation. Hey, that's why I don't want him to use his abilities anymore. But he ......"

Xu Guangyuan didn't say any more, he was under the leadership of Lu Cheng, standing in front of the one-way perspective mirror, he was holding a black box in his hand, he had been carrying this box since he came in, and he didn't let go.

Then, he looked at Shen Ran's face intently through the glass.

"Is this your home?" Shen Ran asked the child.

He nodded, expertly inserting the key in his hand into the keyhole.

"My name is Shen Ran, how do I call you?"

The child stopped what he was doing and turned to face Shen Ran, but he still didn't look up, and Shen Ran still couldn't see his eyes and forehead.

"Just call me A."

Shen Ran paused, "Okay, then I'll call you Xiao A." ”

The child did not name himself, only his code name. Is there no name? Listening to his answer, it should not be.

In the same way, he did not show his face.

This shows that he has a kind of concealment about himself, whether it is out of insecurity, or shyness, or whatever.

In this way, Shen Ran could not directly judge whether the child was a projection of the suspect in his subconscious, in other words, he could not judge whether the child was referring to the suspect himself.

Shen Ran put his hand on the hands of the two suspects in the interrogation room, and he chose to enter the consciousness world of one of them first.

In the depths of a person's consciousness, there will be many illusory scenes and characters, just like when people are dreaming, these illusory scenes and characters are often related to their real lives.

Psychologist Sigmund Freud pointed out in his book "The Interpretation of Dreams" that due to the influence of morality and fear, people are often afraid to face their truest desires and emotions, such as love and hatred for someone, anxiety about something, or pain.

A large part of these impulses and emotions that we cannot vent in reality, face and distinguish are suppressed and enter the subconscious.

So our consciousness is like an iceberg, the part that emerges from the water is only a small part that we can perceive in our waking state, and the huge mountain under the surface contains the richness of our subconscious.

And these emotions and desires that enter the subconscious will be released in dreams, fantasies, or hypnosis in a distorted and deformed way, so as to disguise its true appearance.

For example, if a person dreams of a kitten caught in a whirlpool, this anxiety may be real, but the real reason for his anxiety is his exam pressure, which is a symbol of exam stress, and the weak kitten represents the dreamer himself.

In psychological terms, all symbols presented in a distorted way can also be called an image, and the whirlpool and the kitten are both an image of the real thing.

There is a school of psychological counseling called image dialogue, that is, the counselor sees and finds the image in the patient's heart through hypnosis, and dialogues with it to achieve a healing effect.

What Shen Ran is doing now is to have a dialogue with the images in the suspect's consciousness world.

Little A may represent the suspect himself, or he may represent someone he knows in real life, or he may not have a special meaning.

None of this is yet known.

"You have to be, there are two kinds of people in there." Little A's hand was still holding the key, and he didn't turn it.

This brainless sentence made Shen Ran a little stunned all of a sudden, and at the same time, he was also refreshed.

"You mean, there are other people in the house? What are the two types of people? ”

It was like a warning, indicating a certain situation that Shen Ran would encounter after opening the door.

However, Xiao A did not answer Shen Ran's question, but just continued the action just now and opened the door.

Xiao A walked straight in, and Shen Ran followed behind him, but he didn't step into the threshold right away.

He walked slowly, trying to take a closer look at the door to see who was in the room.

Shen Ran leaned on the door frame and looked in, and the first thing he saw was a group of teenagers about the same age as Xiao A, both boys and girls, and they were playing games together.

Two children stood at a distance, holding each end of a long rope, and three other girls were in the middle of the rope, jumping up and down rhythmically as the rope swung.

There was also a boy who hadn't joined in yet, and was gearing up to try it out.

They gathered in the middle of the house, looking into the distance and in the corners they didn't see.

Is this the living room of his house? That's a lot of space.

"Please come in." Xiao A turned around and invited him, he didn't hesitate any longer, and followed Xiao A into the door.

After coming in, Shen Ran couldn't tell the design and condition of this house even more.

You don't have to take off your shoes when you enter the door, because the floor is only covered with a layer of cement, there are no planks, and there are no tiles. The walls have only been painted with a layer of white paint, but the workmanship is not meticulous, the walls are rough and a little old.

The whole house has a lot of space, it is a hollow two-story duplex building, and you can see the corridor and fence on the second floor, and the inner side of the corridor is a neat door.

That's probably the bedroom, there are quite a few rooms, and there are a few on the first floor.

The roof was very high, and in the middle of the roof hung a simple yellow light bulb from a slender wire, which was surprisingly shabby.

Lots of space but crudely decorated. It's like a rough house.

But not exactly.

Shen Ran felt that the hall he was in could hardly be called a living room in the general sense, it was more like the structure and function of the first floor of a self-built house in the countryside.

Simple trimming, with tables and chairs, can serve guests, not too demanding.

At present, Shen Ran has not seen any other lamps. So much so that some of the corners in the distance are still not clear.

The house is big, but there are few lights, and this lighting situation is really not good.

What does Xiao A mean by the two kinds of people, does he mean the difference between girls and boys?

"They are?"

"Oh, they're my classmates. Come to my house to play. Xiao A didn't say hello to these classmates, and walked straight to the stairs next to the hall. As if none of these people had anything to do with him.

The classmates didn't show any interest in his return, only the boy who was about to join the game just now turned his head and called him "Little A", and then continued the game.

It's weird.

Shen Ran had this feeling for the first time. These classmates not only didn't care about Xiao A's return, but also didn't pay any attention to him, a new guest.

As if it were a public place.

"Is this really your home?"
