Chapter 157: Whose Doll
Qiuqiu was very excited about Mr. X's arrival, and the sorrow on her face vanished at this moment. Star Swirl notices two mattresses on the floor in the living room, and it looks like they don't plan to go to the bedroom.
"Did anything happen yesterday?" Mr. X asked.
The woman's face was haggard, and her delicate makeup couldn't hide it, "Qiuqiu slept in the bedroom last night and had a nightmare, and she said that she wouldn't go back to sleep at all." ”
"Tell uncle, what dreams did you have?" Mr. X leaned down to ask Qiuqiu.
"It's not a dream......," a look of fear appeared on the child's pale little face, and a pair of big eyes were full of confusion, "I really saw a monster lying on the top of the closet." ”
Speaking of "monster", Qiuqiu's body trembled again, she suddenly grabbed the corner of Mr. X's clothes, and begged, "Uncle, can you stay with us?" ”
It seems that Mr. X can bring a strong sense of security to the little one, as if only he is there, Qiuqiu can sleep peacefully.
Qiuqiu's mother dragged her daughter behind her, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, the child is a little willful." ”
Mr. X shook his head and said, "It's okay. ”
The woman turned to Qiuqiu again and said, "Uncle has his own home, I can't stay with you, be obedient." ”
Qiuqiu looked at her mother aggrievedly and pursed her mouth: "But...... When will Daddy come back? ”
"It's coming, it's coming......" The woman took the child into her arms and coaxed softly.
Mr. X found that Hanhan was not in the hall at the moment, and asked, "Where is your little daughter?" ”
"Oh, she should be in the bedroom," the woman glanced back at the half-open door, her face showing a worried face, "Hanhan, she's been indulging in the game of 'imaginary partners' lately, and her neglect of us is getting worse and worse......"
"So what do you think of a hypnotherapy session for her today?" Mr. X asked.
The woman nodded and said to Qiuqiu, "Uncle Doctor is going to see my sister, you can watch the cartoon here now, okay?" ”
Qiuqiu nodded silently, holding her mother's hand and still reluctant to let go, it seemed that the little girl was extremely reluctant to be alone.
Star Swirl was attached to Qiuqiu at the moment, and she could feel her tense nerves and trembling slightly.
Seeing this, the woman couldn't bear to let her daughter stay in the hall in fear, so she asked, "Can you let Qiuqiu stay by the side?" ”
Mr. X replied, "Make sure you don't make a single sound, otherwise it will disturb the patient during the hypnosis process, which will have a very bad effect." ”
The woman said to Qiuqiu: "Wait next to my sister, you can't make any sound, you know?" ”
Qiuqiu nodded happily, covering her mouth with two small hands, looking serious and serious.
Pushing open the bedroom door, a scene inside came into view. Hanhan was still sitting at the low table, and at this time there was a row of dolls on the opposite side of the table.
The dolls looked tattered, with stains on their faces, and two of them had large holes in the back of their heads. Could this be the doll that Lele once picked up? How can there be four? Didn't they all burn?
Star Swirl was full of questions at the moment, and she found that Hanhan didn't react at all to their arrival, completely immersed in her own world. There was something eerie about the atmosphere in the room.
The woman's eyes fell on the dolls, and she couldn't help but let out an exclamation: "Ah——!! ”
Qiuqiu also dodged behind Mr. X.
"What's going on?" Mr. X asked with a frown.
"How did they come back on their own?" The woman's face was shocked, "Hanhan, Hanhan......" she called softly again.
The little girl just stared blankly at the doll in front of her, as if she couldn't hear her mother's call at all.
Mr. X pondered for a moment and said, "Can you let me be alone with Hanhan for a while?" ”
The woman hesitated a little and asked, "I won't affect the treatment if I'm there, right?" ”
"Possibly, probably not." Mr. X did not give an affirmative answer.
The woman hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Mr. X: "Then Qiuqiu and I are outside the door, what's the matter, you call me." ”
Mr. X nodded, and the woman left the room with Qiuqiu.
Closing the door, Mr. X looked at the row of dolls in front of him, lost in thought.
At this time, both the woman and Qiuqiu put their ears to the door and listened carefully to the movement inside.
"I don't know why you're here, or what to call you, but I can assure you of one thing, I have no ill intentions."
Unexpectedly, Mr. X tries to communicate with the doll, and Star Swirl finds him a little amused at the moment, talking to himself like a psychopath.
Star Swirl was conflicted, expecting the dolls to respond, but also a little afraid that they would actually move and do something even weirder.
A sudden chill came out of the crack in the door, causing the temperature around to drop by a few degrees suddenly. However, there was no response other than Mr. X's voice.
"I'm here to help you." Mr. X tried to continue the communication, "If you agree to come with me, I promise to take you home." ”
There was a rustling sound in the room, and then there was a dead silence again.
"What the hell is he doing?" The woman suspiciously pushed open a crack in the door, only to see the head of one of the dolls suddenly twist and look in her direction.
The woman was so frightened that she sat down on the ground, and Qiuqiu didn't know what was going on, so she screamed.
"It's okay," Mr. X said, collecting a few dolls into his backpack and reaching out to touch Hanhan's bun.
"Uncle, when did you come?" Hanhan looked at Mr. X as if he had just woken up from a dream, his eyes full of doubts.
The woman stood up from the ground with the door frame, bit her pale lip and said, "Tonight, can you ...... Stay? ”
It seems that she is really scared, and she realizes that Mr. X has some ways to deal with the situation in the house, although she doesn't quite understand why a psychiatrist understands this way, but at the moment she just wants to grasp this only sense of security.
"Tonight, I shouldn't be ......" Mr. X was a little embarrassed.
"Please stay!" The woman interrupted Mr. X and looked at him earnestly, and the two immature little faces beside her were full of antiquity.
"That'...... All right. Mr. X nodded noncommittally, and Star Swirl felt a little more grounded.
"I'll help you clean up a room." The woman was overjoyed.
"No need," Mr. X waved his hand, "I'll just stay in the living room and take care of anything." ”
The woman smiled at him gratefully: "I'm really embarrassed to make such an unreasonable request......"
"Understandable." Mr. X said, he looked at Qiuqiu, who wanted to lean over very much, and beckoned to her.
"Uncle, are you really not leaving?" Qiuqiu grabbed the corner of Mr. X's clothes again, and this little guy seemed to be very clingy to him.
