6. Ghosts in the bathroom

Wang Jingwen knew that she was in a dream at the moment.

This is an experience formed over the years - when Wang Jingwen sleeps and dreams, she always knows that she is dreaming at the moment, and can control whether she wants to wake up or not at any time. Especially when she has some absurd dreams, if she feels that the content of the dream is not liked by her like those ugly movies, she will blink her eyes hard in her sleep, and she will naturally wake up. Now, she is faced with that choice.

It's a very absurd but very real dreamβ€”a shadowy man with no visible face is entwining and kissing her. The dark shadow pressed against her, hands caressing her body, lips wandering over her cheeks. This sense of realism was so strong that Wang Jingwen felt as if she could feel his heavy breathing and snort, and she was so overwhelmed by this illusory feeling that she could barely breathe. But strangely, she didn't want to resist, she didn't reject, but she had a familiar feeling, as if she was fulfilling a natural obligation.

Should I make an effort to keep my eyes open? Wang Jingwen asked herself in confusion in her heart. Or continue to enjoy this illusory thrill? The more conflicted she became, the more she needed to think about it for herself – and finally, she naturally woke up from her sleep.

At this moment, she actually felt a deep loneliness. The feelings in the dream still lingered in her mind, making her feel a little unfinished missing. She sighed softly in the darkness, thinking that if there was someone in reality who could hug and comfort her at this moment, she might not refuse......

When she was confused, Wang Jingwen, who was lying on her right side, moved her arm back, wanting to pull the quilt. Suddenly, her hand touched something, and she clearly felt that it was an arm, gently wrapped around her waist from behind.

Wang Jingwen only felt a tightness in her scalp, and her brain exploded with a "buzz". The trance just now disappeared, and she realized that it was not a dream now!

Wang Jingwen's whole body twitched and chilled, she involuntarily turned her head, and was shocked to see that behind her, there was a black figure lying down!

"Hmm......" Wang Jingwen covered her mouth with her hands and gagged the screams in her mouth. Her eyes were staring at the vague figure with frightened eyes, and her mind was spinning. After a while, she suddenly remembered something, threw herself on the side of the bed, and turned on the electric light with a "snap". When he turned back, the bed was empty, and the black figure had disappeared like the last hallucinations that had appeared next to the couch.

Wang Jingwen sat in a sluggish bed for several minutes, soothing her pounding heart, and she asked herself in trepidation: What's wrong with me? Hallucinations again? Am I not already well? Why do you still have this symptom of a psychopath? I...... What the hell is wrong with me?

Wang Jingwen tried her best to calm herself down, but she couldn't. There was only one thing she was thankful for, and that was that she hadn't screamed out just now. Otherwise, the parents rushed to hear the sound and saw the current situation of their own nerves. Suddenly, a fire poured out of Wang Jingwen's heart - damn it! I'm not crazy! I'm not the one who was sent to a psychiatric hospital five years ago!

She roared and roared in her heart, but fragile tears flowed from her eyes. After crying for a while, Wang Jingwen got out of bed, planning to go to the bathroom to wash her face and calm herself up.

She pushed open the door and felt her way through the dark living room, subconsciously glancing at her parents' room, which was closed.

Holding the water in her hand and flushing her face, Wang Jingwen felt much better, and her emotions gradually calmed down. She looked at herself in the big mirror in front of her, and said to herself with the autosuggestion method taught to her by Dr. Nie: Wang Jingwen, you are a normal person, and you live an ordinary and peaceful life.

Yes - Wang Jingwen closed her eyes and reminisced about the five days since she returned home - no matter what, being able to eat, chat, and go shopping with her parents every day is not exactly what she has been looking forward to and dreaming of in the nursing home? I can't allow those inexplicably weird feelings to ruin my peaceful life.

Wang Jingwen opened her eyes and looked at her still wet face in the mirror, trying to wipe the water droplets on her face with her hands, but the corner of her eyes suddenly flickered to an image in the mirror - there seemed to be something black on the edge of the white ceramic bathtub behind her. To be sure, she didn't see it when she stood in front of the mirror at first.

She stared at the black-red mass and was horrified to see that it was slowly rising. Gradually, Wang Jingwen's eyes widened wider and wider, and the cold hairs on her whole body stood up, and she clearly saw that the thing that rose up was actually a bloody head, and what made her even more creepy was that the blood-red eyes on the head were looking directly at her.

Wang Jingwen finally couldn't control it, she couldn't accept that two such things happened in a row in one night. She hugged her head in horror and let out a heart-rending scream: "Ahβ€”β€”! ”

Wang Xingyu and Dong Lin were sleeping soundly, and were suddenly awakened by their daughter's screams, the two were shocked, quickly turned over and got out of bed, and rushed into the bathroom in the direction of the sound. Seeing Wang Jingwen curled up in the corner still screaming loudly, the parents surrounded them and hugged their daughter tightly. Dong Lin's voice was even more flustered than her daughter: "Jingwen! You...... What's wrong with you! ”

Wang Jingwen was held tightly in the arms of her parents for a long time, and the screams gradually subsided, turning into weak* and short breathing. Dong Lin said to her husband, "Take Jingwen to the living room!" ”

Wang Jingwen drank a large glass of warm boiled water poured by her father, but her face still did not ease, and she was still pale. Her mother caressed her chest and back with an anxious look on her face. However, neither parent asked what had just happened.

After a long while, Wang Jingwen looked at her parents in fear, and her voice trembled: "Dad, Mom, you believe me...... I'm not crazy! I wasn't having a neurotic just now! I really saw ......" Speaking of this, the terrifying picture resurfaced in front of her, Wang Jingwen twitched violently, and couldn't go on.

"We know, we know! Jingwen, you don't have to explain......"

Wang Jingwen looked at her mother, obviously feeling that she was comforting herself. "No, you don't know." Wang Jingwen shook her head and said, "You don't know what happened to me. You think I'm just a relapse of an old sickness. ”

The couple looked at each other worriedly, not knowing what to say.

After a moment of silence, Wang Xingyu asked, "Then what do you think is wrong with you?" ”

The corners of Wang Jingwen's mouth twitched, she looked at her parents intently, and finally said what she had been guessing for a long time: "I think...... There is a problem with this house. ”
