When Star Swirl and Mr. X return to the clinic, it is already pouring rain outside, and the newly warmed weather in K City seems to have been brought back to winter by this heavy rain.

"It's cold." Star Swirl shuddered, the floor heating in her room had stopped heating half a month ago, and she had to wrap herself in the quilt to keep warm.

At this time, the landline bell in the consultation room rang, and after Mr. X picked it up, he just said a few words.

"Who called?" Star Swirl asks curiously.

"Guan Yulan." Mr. X replied.

She ...... What's going on? Star Swirl's tone was still impatient.

Mr. X chuckled: "She said that when the rain stopped, come and pick up the remaining dolls." ”

Hearing him say this, Star Swirl was reinterested and asked, "Did something happen to her when she brought the doll home?" ”

"You want to know?" A sly glint flashed in Mr. X's eyes.

"I—I'm just curious about the doll......" Star Swirl explained proudly.

"You can listen to her herself in a moment." Mr. X laughed.

Star Swirl plans to listen to what happened to Guan Yulan as an after-dinner story, but she doesn't know that the person's feelings are extremely complicated after experiencing this.

In the evening, the rain outside gradually decreased, and Guan Yulan arrived as scheduled.

Although Guan Yulan still wears flawless and delicate makeup, it is not difficult to see that she is a little pale and has a faint cyan color under her eyes.

Standing in front of Mr. X, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, he made a gesture of resistance: "Who are you?" ”

"As you can see." Mr. X replied calmly.

"I don't believe that a psychiatrist can understand the myths, shouldn't doctors only believe in science?" Guan Yulan asked.

"It varies from person to person." Mr. X really cherishes words like gold.

"Okay," Guan Yulan gritted her teeth, "After I brought the doll home the day before yesterday, something strange happened at night. I hope you can give a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon. ”

"What's weird?" Mr. X asked with interest.

"Around one o'clock in the morning, I saw Lei Lei standing next to my bed in a half-dream, and he also said something to me, which roughly meant that he wanted me to take him back to the Maple Leaf Apartment." Guan Yulan described.

"You also said it, it's half asleep and half awake." Mr. X said.

"You could think I was dreaming, but when I woke up in the morning, I realized that the position of the doll had really changed! How do you explain this? Guan Yulan asked aggressively.

"I told you last time that the doll has the child's residual consciousness before death, and you can understand it as a part of his soul." Mr. X said.

"Soul?" Guan Yulan was a little dazed, "This ...... It's unbelievable. Do you mean that the soul leaves the body before death? ”

"Not usually," Mr. X shook his head, "it's just that this doll is a special soul vessel designed to take in a portion of the soul when it's dying." ”

"Soul vessel?" The information that Guan Yulan understood was constantly not refreshing, and she looked at the man in front of her in a daze, a little speechless.

"Didn't you believe what I said and just came over today to pick up the rest of the dolls?" Mr. X asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's hard for me not to believe you...... I don't know why," Guan Yulan suddenly burst into tears, "I have been looking for the truth about Lei Lei's disappearance all along, and now I finally heard him tell me in person, whether it is a dream or a remnant soul, I think I should let it go." ”

Although Guan Yulan was skeptical of the deceitful theory, there was already a relieved expression on her face at this time.

"Thank you......" she whispered to Mr. X, a string of crystal tears falling.

Star Swirl nestled on the couch, looking at Guan Yulan with a pitiful look, and couldn't help but want to step forward to comfort her, but Mr. X sat down in his chair indifferently.

"Is it okay, then, to send them to their families?" Guan Yulan pointed to the remaining five dolls.

"That's right," Mr. X nodded, "but you'll have to think about your words." ”

"You underestimate us media people." Guan Yulan wiped her tears with her hand and showed a smug smile.

After Guan Yulan leaves, Star Swirl's impression of her seems to have changed, "It seems that there is a rather deep connotation hidden beneath her frivolous surface. ”

Mr. X smiled and shook his head: "Rest early in the evening, there will be a new mission tomorrow." ”

"What?" Star Swirl asks.

"I went to the High School Affiliated to K Normal University to visit Teacher Wu Yaping."

That night, Star Swirl returns to Xichuan Middle School in a dream. The iron-stained fence and the blackened walls of the school building were exactly the same as the ones he had seen during the day.

Standing in front of the school building again, Star Swirl has a strange feeling in her heart, as if instead of a ruined building, she has a huge coffin where countless people are buried.

Star Swirl enters the school building alone, and the dream scene is late at night, and the hallway is dark. Passing through empty classrooms, Star Swirl didn't dare not look back, for fear that something in the darkness was following in her footsteps.

Star Swirl remembers walking any further to the dormitory building on the right, and thinking of the notes she left inside, she resists going any further.

"Let's go to the office building on the left." Thinking so, Star Swirl turned around and continued to walk through the darkness.

There are no signs of scorching on the walls of this side of the office building, which is also where the fire did not spread. Star Swirl speculates that the arsonist appears to have lit the fire in front of the school, so why did he choose such a high-profile location?

Walking past the doorway with the sign "Jun2 Office" hanging it, it was also locked, and Star Swirl had to lean on the crack in the door to look inside.

Before she could see why, Star Swirl suddenly heard a "" movement not far away. She immediately turned her gaze and crept closer in the direction of the sound.

The place where the sound came out just now seemed to be the toilet in front of me. This toilet is the only one on the entire floor that is not locked.

This should be the toilet used by the faculty and staff. There are five compartments in total, and after all these years, many of the door panels have been damaged, and the contents of the compartments can be seen without pushing them open.

Star Swirl walked in front of the five compartments, the first three of which were unusual, except for the fourth and fifth.

The doors of the two cubicles closed tightly, and Star Swirl pushed hard with her cat's claws, and the doors of the cubicles were locked.

Usually the door of the toilet cubicle is locked when someone is inside, so what is the reason for it to be locked now?

Could it be that there are "people" in it? Star Swirl shuddered.

Outside there is a clear sound of footsteps in the hallway, and Star Swirl scurries into one of the compartments. The sound of footsteps from far and near, if you listen carefully, it should be two people, walking one after the other.

And this footstep only passed the door of the toilet, and gradually drifted away.
