Chapter 04 of the urban romance novel [Elevator Horror].

"You ask me? It's all your own handiwork. If it weren't for your numbness and indifference, he wouldn't have become like this, have you killed fewer people over the years? You know? For every person you kill, I can have a good meal, because I am the devil in your heart. The more decadent, confused, and ruthless you are, the stronger I become, so I'm getting stronger now, and you're getting more and more cowardly. You have a good memory of the past, how many people like Xiao Liu keep disappearing from you. People who have been hurt by your indifference will have a fragile heart, and I will take advantage of it. Control them away from you, the more lonely you are, the more indifferent you will become, and eventually, you will be completely depraved, and I will completely replace you and dominate your life for the rest of your life. Haha......" said the devil with a smirk of surprise.

Listening to the words of the devil, I suddenly remembered many forgotten memories and fell deep into my memories......

Looking back on the past ten years, I have indeed killed many people indirectly. But by the time I understood, it was too late. After graduating from a prestigious art academy and working as a design director in a well-known design company, he specialized in top-level high-end design projects, so the customers he contacted ranged from politics to business and even the underworld.

At that time, I was young, dared to think, dared to challenge, and only thought about making a lot of money and getting ahead. With professional design ability and keen insight, he walks in the upper class. met the most beloved person again, and in order to make her life better, for the so-called fame and fortune, she gradually lost her way. And when I thought that I had earned the wealth I wanted, I was about to be happy with the person I loved the most, only to find out that she had already secretly promised others.

And the reason why she left me was because I lost my nature in the deformed life of fighting for power. I thought I got everything, but I lost what I cherished the most. Since then, I have become self-defeating and no longer trust anyone. No longer receive any care, no longer care and care about anyone.

I've changed, I'm getting cold-blooded. More and more insensitive, more ruthless, what I didn't dare to do before, or what I didn't disdain, dared to do, the sensible, kind, and gentle me I used to be no longer there. After that, I was completely depraved. As a single aristocrat, I often go to various bars and am drunk with money. The friends around me are all fox friends and dog friends, and the disorienting alcohol and naked money have made the most intimate relationship between me and them.

And this relationship also put me on a path of no return, and I only came to my senses when one day, these closest friends, put all the blame on me. It turned out that I was drawn into a political struggle between black and white, and I became a victim, and I was the biggest loser in this game. Even the reason why my ex-wife left me was planned by them. They just need a me who no longer holds on to their beliefs, who has lost love and who no longer believes in love, and there is no second possibility except to fall. In this way, they can get close to me and use the special relationships I have accumulated over the years to help them do many illegal things.

When it was revealed that I needed a scapegoat, he kicked me away again. So, when I was in court, the judge asked me what excuses I had, and I chose to remain silent. I suddenly got tired of this society, and I was tired of all the life I had ever had. I suddenly understood that justice is in the hands of powerful people, and that I have never been just a poor pawn, and when it is useful, I can kill all sides on the chessboard, majestic. When it's useless, it's still off the chessboard and becomes an outcast.

Disheartened, I took all the responsibilities without any excuses, even though most of them were not for me. And the people who really should bear it are still high and live happily. The only promise they gave me was that as long as I remained silent forever, I would not hurt my family or the people I cared about the most.

When I came out of prison ten years later, I was middle-aged. After experiencing the ups and downs, I became more reticent and indifferent. So, I went incognito and worked in a small warehouse in a remote suburb. Reading books every day, writing and writing, it is enough to be lonely for the rest of your life. Because I thought I would never care about anyone anymore, no one would ever care about me again.

But when I met Xiao Liu, who was more than a decade younger than me, I seemed to gradually regain my old feelings in the past few months. In the dark, I always feel that he is the person closest to me. I know that he really cares about me, and I really care about him. Thinking of this, I retracted my thoughts and shouted at the grimace in front of me: "I will definitely return to my original me, and I will make you regret hurting the person I care about the most!" With that, I used all my strength to punch the grimace hard.

"Poof! Ah......h

But soon his figure became more and more blurred, and it seemed that he was about to leave me again. I suddenly became anxious. In a trance, I saw Xiao Liu burst into tears with excitement, looked at me with a choked voice, and said affectionately: "You know, Master Su, the party I invited you to attend was actually my birthday party, and I was really disappointed when you rejected me." But I was pleasantly surprised when you later told me so many strange things in the elevator and reminded me not to go out at night. Because you're finally starting to care about me. So, I decided to go back to the warehouse again and go to the old freight elevator. I wanted to see the weird heart pattern you were talking about. When I found the pattern and searched the Internet, I realized that it was an ancient ritual of summoning demons. Just bite your finger, draw a heart pattern, and recite a mantra in an enclosed moving space. It is said that people who can see this pattern are people who have been greatly hurt in their hearts, and the moment they see this pattern, they can summon their inner demons to face them. If he can overcome his demons, he will no longer sink and be lost. Otherwise, you will lose yourself completely.

"When I was studying this pattern, I accidentally touched this ritual, and my inner demon came out, and just as I was trying to fight, I didn't expect my inner demon to suddenly become yours. It turns out that when you first saw the grimace before, my inner demon had been consumed by yours. And the inner demon can only have a chance to fight if he is himself, and he must have a strong willpower. So, I couldn't defeat your demons at all, so I completely lost myself and became a devil. My body was reduced to a pool of blood, and that's the last thing you see. If you want to save me, you will be able to see me again unless you can completely make up your mind to return to your old self and never let your demons control you again. But you...... Really willing...... Go back to the original you? ”

"I ...... Yes, I do, I'm willing. "I have always fallen into deep guilt, but after listening to what Xiao Liu said, I finally saw hope, and I suddenly became enlightened and no longer confused. A wave of pride suddenly surged in my heart, from talking to myself at the beginning, to blurting out. Finally, when I shouted the words "I do" in a hoarse voice, I burst into tears.

Those tears drowned out the image in front of me in an instant, and then rolled up countless ripples.

When the ripples gradually regained their calm, a very elegantly decorated office appeared in front of my eyes, and a beautiful middle-aged woman was looking at me happily, she stretched out her jade hand, took out a soft white tissue from the tissue box on the desk, and gently handed it to me and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Su, you have finally completed all the psychological treatments and can go home." ”

"Thank you......" When I saw who the woman opposite was, I also recovered all my memories, it turned out that everything before was a hallucination after Professor Liu hypnotized me, and those very real plots were also made by her based on my account of what I had experienced, and carefully guided me to have this hallucination for the person or thing I was most afraid of and cared about the most. And under her guidance, I finally told a lot of secrets that had accumulated in my heart, and it was these that caused me to be silent for many years, always plagued by demons, and never came out again.

To this day, she has successfully dissolved my demons, and I don't know how long I would have sunk without her. She is a well-known professor of psychology at Peking University and a well-known psychiatrist. It was a friend who saw that I was very decadent all day long, so she introduced me to her, and after a brief thank you, I nodded gratefully, and when I got up to leave, I suddenly asked: "Professor Liu, how long have I been here?" ”

"You've been here for three days, and you've been in a state of hypnosis for the past three days, and you can't let go of it for the first two days, and you still can't open your heart, so I haven't succeeded in resolving your demons. Today, this time you finally opened your heart knot, and while crying, you said a lot of things from your heart. I will succeed in dissolving your demons. All in all, you are much faster than I imagined, you can overcome your demons so quickly, it shows that your willpower is far beyond ordinary people, go back and start again, forget the past, and live a good life. By the way, the little Liu you care about very much in the fantasy world is actually a girl in real life. The props and pictures used to carry out hypnosis for you this time were all taken by her, and the plot in it was also adapted from the memories she provided. That's why you feel real, but she made me consciously turn her into an ordinary boy in your fantasy. Because she wants you to really care about her heart for you, not her beautiful face. You have succeeded in defeating your own demons and winning her heart. Her performance in the past three days, she has seen and heard it at home through online videos. Take advantage of your opportunity. Professor Liu smiled faintly and said with relief.

When I left the psychiatric clinic and looked at the bright sunshine outside, I suddenly felt a lot lighter. After walking a few steps casually, I stopped again, took out my mobile phone, dialed a number without hesitation, and after connecting, I said confidently: "Qianqian, happy birthday, I'm finally back......"

When I heard a sobbing sound on my phone, I couldn't help but burst into tears......
