In a large and spacious study on the second floor of the villa.

Shi Wen, that is, Wen Ting's father, finally told all the secrets that he had hidden in his heart for many years.

"I really don't want to hear the name 'Ning Qiang' again, but today you mentioned him, maybe it's providence." Shi Wen's first sentence surprised me a little.

Could it be that in this timeline, the past me, Ning Qiang, also threatened Shi Wen? That's why he was so afraid and disgusted by this name?

No, it won't. If this Ning Qiang threatened him, just like those scripts I experienced in the past, Shi Wen would definitely break up with Yuting in the end. Of course, even if it wasn't me, it wouldn't be him.

"This watch originally belonged to Ning Qiang, not ours." Shi Wen looked at the watch on my wrist, his eyes were a little solemn, and he seemed to be a little afraid.

Why was he so afraid of the watch? Could it be that he also knows the secret of this watch?

"18 years ago, Ning Qiang disappeared." Shi Wen coughed violently a few times and said, "The police have not found his whereabouts either." He is an orphan, and he has no relatives in this world, only your mother, and a policeman named Hao Ming, and these classmates still have dealings with him. ”

I didn't speak, and I didn't feel anything strange about what Shiwen said.

I'm not missing, I'm just going to another alternate plane. However, to the people of this world, I am just missing. However, why did Shi Wen insist that I was already dead? There is a clear difference between death and disappearance, okay?

"Hao Ming is a policeman, and even he can't find Ning Qiang. However, within a few days, he found a clue. ”

"What clues?" I involuntarily leaned forward.

Shi Wen, who was half-lying in the chair, looked very weak and his voice was very low.

"In Ning Qiang's house, in the room he rented, to be exact, Hao Ming found the watch, which was in a red watch box."

"What? This, how is this possible? How could he not have a watch? I was stunned.

On the day of Yuting's wedding, didn't I still wear this watch to the banquet? At 8:30 p.m. that night, I dialed back my watch, and I was transported back in time. It stands to reason that I'm missing, so this watch should be missing too, right? Didn't I wear this watch at all?

Still, even though it felt incredible, I listened patiently. This may be because this experience in that old shop has taught me one thing: don't just think based on experience and common sense, sometimes the truth of things is far from what you first imagined.

"He really didn't take the watch away, not only that, Hao Ming also found another thing in the watch box."

"What's that?" I was stunned.

Why don't I have any impression of these things that Shiwen said?

"A note with a few words written on it." Shi Wen paused, and from the expression on his face, I could tell that he didn't seem to like to talk about this experience.

"What word?"

"Give it to my favorite woman - Su Yuting!"

"What?" I was stunned.

How is this possible? When have I ever done something like this? This, this is simply framed!

Shi Wen's later words made me feel like he was making up a story.

Hao Ming also found a suicide note in a drawer.

"Suicide note?" I almost wanted to cry, please, when did I write a suicide note?

"Yes, Ning Qiang has an incurable disease, he knows about it, and it is likely that he will not be able to pass that year." Shi Wen sighed, "He has lung cancer, in an advanced stage. Unexpectedly, all three of us had the same disease. ”

Obviously, when he said "the three of us", he was referring to Yuting, him and me in the past - Ning Qiang.

"You mean, he left this suicide note because he knew he was going to die, and the watch?" I looked at him with a look of surprise and suspicion.

"Don't you believe it?" Shi Wen seemed to have seen my suspicions, "I'm dying, is it necessary to make up any lies to deceive my daughter?" ”

Looking at this man, who is nearly twenty years older than his actual age and is about to come to the end of his life, I can't help but feel compassion.

Perhaps, Shi Wen didn't lie to me, these are all facts. But why don't I even remember it?

What the hell is going on? Could it be that in another time and space, I really had suicidal thoughts? Even, did I, Ning Qiang, in this world, actually commit suicide?

"Then, then, did this Ning Qiang really commit suicide later?" I asked urgently.

"I don't know."

"Don't know?"

"Yes, it can only be said that there is a high probability that he chose to commit suicide. However, although he left a suicide note, it does not mean that he will choose to commit suicide. Shi Wen continued, "If a person commits suicide, at least his body will be found. But the strange thing is that so far, the police have not found his body, and in the end, it can only be closed as a missing case. ”

"Maybe, he jumped into the river, right? The corpse was washed away by the river? ”

"It's possible, but the corpse will always float in the end, right?" Shi Wen said, "However, this is not something I care about. ”

Please, you don't care, but I do! I just want to know: Is the twisting force in this time and space dead or alive in the end? Even if he died, how did he die?

"Later, Hao Ming gave the watch to your mother, and he said that it was to respect the last wishes of the deceased." Shi Wen was still recalling, "However, I don't agree to do this. I don't know why, I just hate it when your mom keeps this fast watch. ”

"Then is your old man jealous of this Ning Qiang, or do you think that this dead man's things are unlucky?" There was a certain sarcasm in my words.

"Probably both." Shi Wen said, "However, your mother didn't listen to the advice and still accepted it." However, since then, our family has been in chaos! ”

As he spoke, he clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his forehead also flare.

"Messy? What's going on? ”

"Later, your mother gave birth to you, but she became depressed as if she had postpartum depression. Yes, at the time, the doctor and I thought it was just postpartum depression, but your mother's behavior became more and more strange. ”

"What's this strange method?" I was immediately interested.

"She wore that watch every day, always took it out from time to time to look at it, and then she actually cried."

"Crying?"

"Yes, I don't dare to ask her, I'm afraid of irritating her, so I can only look at her secretly." Shi Wen's eyes looked a little gloomy and a little lonely, "I even suspect that she may have loved Ning Qiang too, they may have been boyfriend and girlfriend before, but they did a good job of keeping each other secret, and those college classmates, including Hao Ming, didn't know." ”

"But he still let his classmates know about it, what I said is, he likes jade, oh, my mother's thing." I say.

I even suspect that it is not my style at all, and maybe, the suicide note was planted by someone else, or perhaps, it was someone's prank.

But who would do such a prank?

"What if you got it? I don't care about that, I'm more concerned about your mother's condition. In addition to the tears, the more serious problem is that your mom always has the same nightmare! Shi Wen continued.

"Nightmares?"

"Well, yes, it's a nightmare. I dare to tell you today, my daughter. Shi Wen looked at me, "At that time, your mother woke up from a dream, and I asked her what was wrong. She, she said she actually dreamed of a car accident! ”

"Car accident?" I was stunned.

Car accidents, that's the last word I want to hear.

In the past few crossings, Yuting died in a car accident, why did she dream of a car accident?

"Your mother told me that she dreamed that she had been in a car accident, on the night of her wedding, on the mountain road. However, the man who married her was not me, but, but ······" Speaking of this, Shi Wen seemed very excited.

"No, it's that Ning Qiang, right?" I asked tentatively.

"That's right, it's him!" Shi Wen nodded, "Your mother said that she dreamed that she and Ning Qiang were married, but after the wedding, on the way home, there was a car accident. She said: She dreamed that she was dead, Ning Qiang hugged her corpse, kept calling her name, and cried incessantly. ”

"What?" I was stunned.

I never thought that the car accidents I experienced in the past would actually invade Yuting's mind? Is this just Yuting's dream, or does she also see herself in another parallel time and space, and see her own destiny?

I started to get nervous, and my hands and feet trembled unconsciously.

"Wen Ting, what's wrong with you? You, why are you ** sick again? Shi Wen's words are not like a father accusing his daughter, but like some kind of fear.

"No, nothing. Probably, it's a little cold. ”

"Wen Ting, you are my last hope, you can't get your mother's illness anymore."

"What's wrong with my mom?" I was stunned, "Is it lung cancer?"

"No, it's scarier than that. I'm talking about schizophrenia! ”

"What? Schizophrenia? ”

Yuting's mother, the woman named Zhang Yuqin, also had schizophrenia. Could it be that Yuting also inherited her mother's disease?

I remembered: Yuting had had many suicide attempts before, and it seemed that her mental state was extremely unstable. Unexpectedly, it was related to schizophrenia?

"Yes." Shi Wen nodded, "Yuting's mother, that is, your grandmother, she also had this disease. The doctor examined your mom and they said your mom might have inherited your grandma's schizophrenia and it was getting worse."

"I see. So, in this way, those dreams are actually manifestations of schizophrenia? I asked.

"Well, that's what the doctors say." Shi Wen said, "Maybe it's because of Ning Qiang's disappearance, as well as that suicide note, that your mother was stimulated in some way, and she became mentally weakened from then on." Since then, your mother and I have gradually become estranged. ”

I stopped talking, I didn't expect this to be the result, I thought they were quite happy after they got married.

"Only you, my child, are your mother's only concern and hope." Shi Wen sighed, "But, I didn't expect that later, you would have the same disease as your mother?" ”

"What? You, you're not going to say I'm sick too, are you? I was stunned.

I don't want Wen Ting to be a schizophrenic too, don't forget, I'm her now!

"Don't be nervous." Shi Wen also saw my nervousness and said with relief, "Forget it, I still won't say it." ”

"No, Daddy, you must go on! I want to know everything, I don't want to live in a world where I can't find the answer to the mystery! I said firmly.

"Okay, then I'll say it." After hesitating for a moment, Shi Wen nodded, "When you were seven years old, one night, you woke up from a nightmare and told me that terrible dream!" ”

"Wouldn't it? Could it be the same dream as my mother? I was stunned.

"No, it's not your mother's dream. However, you also dream of a car accident and another car accident. Moreover, you also told me, you said: You dreamed that you were a man, the man who was hit by a car in a car accident! ”

"What?"

I was stunned to hear this······
