Chapter 18: Goodbye Shocking Clouds, Dreamy Empty Flowers
"Dream feeder?" Yi Yang and Yu Xin glanced at each other and asked. "That's right, the Dream Keeper and the Sky Fox Girl's Dream Soul Song are different. Dream soul songs affect people's memories when they are asleep based on their singing, causing people to wake up and have confusion in reality. Dream feeders influence people's dreams through some means, making people mistakenly believe that dreams are reality. Nalan Yanran explained word by word.
"Dreams? What kind of dream can make three people choose to commit suicide at the same time? Yi Yang seemed to be muttering to himself.
After listening to Yi Yang's words, Nalan Yanran thought about the wording and explained: "You know that he has a dream, but he thinks that this is reality, if the dream does not exist, it will make people crazy to search, and the dream keeper will make people addicted through dreams, as if it is ......"
"Drugs!" Yu Xin blurted out suddenly. "Yu Xin?" Nalan Yanran was a little surprised, but then said, "Are you on the scene now?" ”
"That's right, we stayed on the scene for a long time and didn't find the phenomenon described in the diary, so we thought of asking you for advice." Yi Yang said.
"Then see if there are any animals or plants in the house where the incident happened." Nalan Yanran said a little anxiously. After listening to Nalan Yanran's words, Yi Yang and Yu Xin looked around blankly, and almost at the same time, their eyes locked on the few pots of green plants placed on the windowsill.
Yu Xin said with some trembling: "There are a few pots of flowers and plants on the windowsill, but I don't see any pets, and there are no pets mentioned in the report." Nalan Yanran seemed to feel the fear in Yu Xin's heart, and continued calmly: "Maybe the problem is in these pots of flowers and plants, but don't worry, as far as I know, after such a long time, it will no longer have an effect on people who come into contact with it for the first time." ”
After listening to Nalan Yanran's words, Yi Yang had a feeling that the truth would be revealed immediately, and hurriedly asked. Nalan Yanran continued: "Dream feeders are accustomed to cultivating some special plants or animals with some special methods, which they call dream raising, and these animals and plants will have an impact on people after they come into contact with people, creating corresponding dreams. Some beginner dreamers will only make people feel nightmares, which can induce corresponding sudden illnesses. To the scene in this matter, I'm afraid this dream eater is not simple. ”
Speaking of this, Nalan Yanran's tone suddenly became very serious, as if he was warning: "Although I don't know how to feed dreams, you must be careful. Dream Soul Song needs to create an atmosphere that allows people to listen to the song while they are asleep, but Dream Keeper is different, and you may be affected by it inadvertently....."
After listening to Nalan Yanran's words, Yi Yang was silent for a long time before continuing to ask, "What are the characteristics of the Dream Feeder, or what kind of clues should we look for?" ”
"Dream feeders and Sky Fox Girl are different, Sky Fox Girl only has one line, in order to protect the Yan family's relics, and then the Yan family declined, we gradually fell to the Phoenix Mountain, but there is no dispute with the world, just guarding a little faith. Dream feeders can be said to be a profession, but there is also a reason that restricts them from making easy moves to ordinary people, but there are always exceptions to everything......"
Nalan Yanran suddenly became a little worried, hesitated for a long time and said, "Yi Yang, since an ordinary person has been killed, if you know that you are a threat to him, you will definitely not show mercy." I'm going to Shengjing, and you'll be safer with me. ”
"No, you don't have the status of a police officer, if you get involved, I'm afraid the spread will be even bigger, if there is something I will ask you at any time, so we have benefited a lot." Yi Yang said resolutely.
"It's fine, but you have to remember that when you go to a strange place, you must be wary of weasels, raccoons, foxes, and other so-called spiritual animals and plants that you have not seen. Legend has it that those animals are psychic, and they are the objects of their dreams, and there are some specific plants that I don't know, so you must pay special attention. ”
After listening to Nalan Yanran's instructions, Yi Yang thanked him again and hung up the phone, the two of them focused their eyes on the three pots of green plants placed on the windowsill again, Yu Xin and Yi Yang did not have any research on flowers and plants, Yi Yang thought for a while and cautiously went to the kitchen to find a few plastic bags and wrapped the green plants tightly.
At this time, the two found that the sky outside the window had been polished, and after looking at their mobile phones, Yu Xin looked at Yi Yang with an inquiring gaze at six o'clock in the morning. Yi Yang thought for a while and then showed a smile: "Maybe we need to trouble Teacher Jinghong again, by the way, return the previous book, let's go back to the bureau first." ”
The two of them returned to the office of the public security building to rest for a while, Yi Yang looked at the time and beckoned Yu Xin to go out and take a taxi to Jing Hongyun's residence.
This is the second time Yu Xin has seen Jing Hongyun, and Jing Hongyun is the same as before, gentle and kind, but Yu Xin always feels that Jing Hongyun has a strange sense of mystery. Yi Yang's attitude was still very respectful, and after Jing Hongyun asked the two to sit down in the living room, Yi Yang expressed his intention and told Jing Hongyun the case information and Nalan Yanran's judgment without reservation.
Jing Hongyun thought for a long time before he raised his head and said, "It seems to be a lot trickier than last time." After saying that, after saying the three pots of flowers and plants brought by Yi Yang, he beckoned the two of them to walk towards the back room, and the two came to the study with Jing Hongyun. Jing Hongyun put the three pots of flowers and plants on the desk and looked at them for a while, turned around and took down two books from the bookshelf and read them for a long time, then raised his head, motioned for the two to come to the desk, and said to the two: "These two pots of flowers are common green plants on the market, there is nothing special, but this pot ......" Jing Hongyun's face showed a little solemnity, and then continued: "It is not recorded in orthodox books, but it is indeed mentioned in some travelogues, it has a very special name, called - Dream Empty Flower!" ”
Speaking of this, Jing Hongyun spread out a book in front of him and put it in front of the two of them, and the two read it word by word after looking at it: A flower, born on the shore of the lake, leaves a fragrance at midnight. Some people pick it, but it is difficult to plant. It is rumored that when you meet someone who is destined, you are like a dream, like an empty illusion, you can distinguish human nature, a good person dreams like spring, and a wicked person has nightmares. It is often difficult to see, and it is called a dreamy empty flower.
Jing Hongyun saw that the two of them had uncertain expressions after reading it, and then explained: "What is said in the book is roughly the same as what you paraphrased. The flower itself is fine, but if it is recuperated by the so-called dream feeder, it should make people hallucinate when they are asleep, but I want to distinguish human nature, and the division of good and evil should be a rumor, and the so-called sweet dreams and nightmares are actually made by dream keepers. ”
Jing Hongyun thought for a moment and then said: "The record in the book is nothing more, I don't understand the logic and process of your case, but I think this flower is difficult to raise, and it is never common on the market, as long as you find a flower seller." However, because there is no record in the official books, it must be very difficult to find. ”
Yi Yang nodded approvingly, and then the phone suddenly rang, Yi Yang immediately hung up the phone after answering, and said apologetically to Jing Hongyun: "Teacher, I can't eat with you today." Then he turned his head and said to Yu Xin with a solemn expression: "It seems that the case of the dream keeper has appeared again. ”
