Seeing that the scene was a little dull, and several people were silent, Peter had to change the subject and said, "Alright, let's start dinner!" Who will lead the prayer before the meal? ”

Then, his eyes fell on Matt, who was slightly uneasy.

"Matt?"

Matt was stunned, then stretched out his hand to the left and right, with Yiqi on his left and Wendy sitting on his right.

This is the habit of the Campbells, who hold hands before dinner... Pray in a low voice together.

However, when Yi Qi held Matt's palm, he felt that something was wrong, Matt's palm first trembled, and then clenched tightly, like... Grab a life-saving straw again.

When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by... It's Matt's excessively pale countenance, and... Roll your eyes slightly upward.

But Yi Qi didn't move, only his eyebrows were frowning slightly, because he didn't notice anything unusual at all.

On the other side, Cousin Wendy whispers to Matt, trying to wake him up from his nightmare, and with her whispering, the family discovers Matt's anomaly.

"Matt, Matt?"

Fortunately, Matt quickly returned to normal, but the cold sweat on his forehead clearly told one thing - the experience just now was not good.

It's just that, in the face of the worried eyes of his family, Matt chose to keep silent, and it seemed that he still had lingering palpitations.

Seeing that everyone was not in their hearts, Sara made a round: "It's the effect of the drug, the doctor said... During the course of treatment, there may be hallucinations or mental problems. ”

At the same time, a gentle and empathetic big beauty. Wendy, after feeling the embarrassment and embarrassment of the scene, took the restless Matt by the hand and left the table to the second floor.

The atmosphere of dinner was even more dreary, but it could not be eliminated for a while.

As for... Yiqi, how can he still be in the mood to eat now, just grab a few bites of dinner at will, and shout - I'm full! Then he took Matt's dinner and staggered to the second floor......

……

In Wendy's cousin's room, she was enlightening Matt, and with the gentle words reassuring, the latter gradually got rid of his heart palpitations.

"Do you remember the book we read when we were kids?" Matt smiled reluctantly and looked at Wendy, "It's a little strange... The illustrated one, called... Ben wasn't there for the man. ”

"Yes, I remember." Although she was very inexplicable in her heart, in order to appease Matt, Wendy did not show any strange emotions, but only echoed softly.

"When I went upstairs, I saw... The man who wasn't there, he reappeared today......"

Matt's smile was more forced, and his tone was accentuated.

However, Wendy didn't pay attention to it, and turned her head to the door, because Yi Qi was already standing outside the door with her dinner in her hands.

"I wish he was gone." Immediately, Wendy gently hugged Matt and said with a smile, "Everything will pass, Matt!" What you need to do now is eat and get a good night's sleep. ”

Then, Cousin Wendy gave up her room to Matt empathetically.

After watching the gentle big beauty go downstairs, Yi Qi walked up to Matt and stuffed the dinner into his hands: "You want to tell Cousin Wendy everything?" ”

"I know it's wrong, but ......" Matt tugged at his hair in pain, feeling complicated for a moment.

"Let's eat, it'll be cold in a while." patted Matt on the shoulder like a little adult, and Yi Qi sat next to him: "Actually, it's not a big deal to tell my cousin about it." ”

Matt's eyes widened: "You don't blame me for being arrogant!?" ”

"Why should I blame you?" Yi Qi looked at Matt with a smile and thought... As long as you don't move, you can toss as much as you want: "But the question is, how can we make my cousin believe us?" So, back to square one – we need convincing evidence. ”

"How can there be convincing evidence?" Matt was stunned for a moment, and began to sigh for a long time: "We all turned over the old house today, and now we are three feet away from digging the ground." ”

Seeing that the time was almost there, Yi Qi asked quietly: "By the way, at dinner... What's wrong with you, could it be... What strange things did you see? ”

"No, it's a nightmare!"

"Nightmare? Did you fall asleep while praying? ”

"No, it's not. When I say nightmare, I mean last night's ......."

Although he already knew it in his heart, Yi Qi still showed his astonishment just right: "Last night's? Didn't you say you didn't dream last night? How are you ...... now?"

"It was supposed to be like this, but... Right now... I ......"

Matt tried to defend himself, but his thoughts were confused, as for... Yi Qi asked sharply: "Could it be... The problem is pre-meal prayer? ”

"Yes, that's it!" Matt's eyes lit up, and as he pondered, he slowly explained, "Before, I really didn't have any memories of last night's nightmare, but the pre-dinner prayer reminded me of part of the nightmare.

No, it's not the pre-dinner prayer, it's the act of holding hands that reminds me of the nightmares, because in the nightmares, I was also sitting around the table holding hands.

That... Strangers I've never seen before, sitting around a table, not for a meal or a prayer, but for a very strange ritual. ”

With that, Matt's burning gaze fell straight on Ichie's face, waiting for his response.

"I've never had a nightmare like this."

Matt's answer frustrated Matt slightly, and then he heard Ichie say, "However, we may be able to find the clues we need through your dreams." ”

"Through my dreams?"

"You say... Do you dream that someone is holding a ceremony? Seeing that Matt didn't refute, Yi Qi continued: "Your nightmare is not complete, if we can help you recall all the nightmares, then can we use the nightmare to deduce what they are doing, and then use this as a clue... Find out the evidence? ”

Matt was silent again, recalling this kind of thing was not something he could say, and recalling the content of nightmares was not a pleasant thing.

"Brother, don't worry too much." Yi Qi patted Matt on the shoulder and comforted, "Cousin Wendy is right, what you need to do now is eat and then sleep well. ”

It's a pity that his words are neither convincing nor empathetic and gentle with Cousin Wendy, so Matt, who is comforted, is still restless.

Fortunately, Matt knew what he had to do, so he didn't show resistance, but lowered his head and ate his dinner mechanically, only his pupils lost focus.
