Chapter 24: The Forgotten Truth
Although Lao Li didn't know what was going on, he felt that Xu Yunge, who could catch the prisoner, was reliable enough, and immediately agreed to Xu Yunge's temporary application. At the same time, contact the technical department remotely, call up the local surveillance video as much as possible, and quickly search for suspicious people.
From the occurrence of the crime to the report, as long as the key elements such as time, place, and person can be accurate, if the other party's anti-investigation ability is not strong enough, and there is no internal ghost who should cooperate with the outside to help deal with the aftermath, it is relatively easy to lock down the suspect.
"I sent it, the video is a man, carrying a snakeskin bag and walking to the morgue, looking scolding along the way, constantly calling, and his mental condition is not very stable."
Xu Yunge sat in the car, and in his current state, he was definitely no longer suitable for fighting.
First, the other party can coerce and lure the pregnant woman with a ghost fetus, and he is more proficient in horror urban legends than himself, and the curse power on his body is not weak, and it is very dangerous to hit it hard.
Second, it is not clear whether they have more backup in Hanwu City, and whether they have any emergency means of escape. The only good news that Xu Yunge knows is that when he enters and exits the ghost market, all the netherworld treasures on ordinary people will be burned and emptied, at least they shouldn't be able to find ghosts and harm people casually.
But it didn't take long for something even weirder to happen, the mobile phone on the pregnant woman's chest couldn't get through, and the man actually sent a text message: "What the hell are you doing, I haven't gotten in the car yet!" ”
Lao Li was thinking about whether this was a code for the suspect, but Xu Yunge took off his mobile phone and replied with a message: "I'm sorry, but as soon as you left, someone found me, the baby wants to run, I can only run." ”
The man seemed to be a little angry, but with the help of the ghost baby controlled by the pregnant woman, he couldn't tear his face on the spot, and quickly sent a message: "How long will it take?" Hurry up and pick me up! There are a lot of places in this place, and the longer you stay, the more unsafe it becomes. ”
Xu Yunge glanced at the unconscious pregnant woman, and deliberately replied after a while: "The baby is restless, it has to eat all the time, you give me the position, and I will go to you after I finish the matter." ”
The man immediately replied: "The matter on my side has been dealt with, how itchy are you, you slept with another man as soon as I left?" This time the situation is a little wrong, you must not make a murder, if it is big, you have to hide for a few months, just make up for it and come over quickly, I am in the old waterworks! ”
Xu Yunge smiled secretly in his heart, but under the mask, he did not show the depths, and handed over the mobile phone to Lao Li.
"Awesome, you found the key information so quickly, but what do you mean by 'it'? Is this woman pregnant? "Lao Li is obviously a little foggy.
"Some of the codes they connected, in fact, I don't know very well, now it's better to hurry up and act separately, I don't know when they will find out that they have been deceived." Xu Yunge said a few perfunctory words, the matter of the urban legend of the ghost is difficult to prevent, once you come into contact, you can't get out, the less you know, the better.
And that strange man must know the power of the pregnant woman, as long as she is safe, she can teleport at any time, and delaying for 5 more minutes will cause suspicion.
Lao Li didn't know the inside story, so he simply replied: "Okay, I'll pick you up soon." ”
At this time, Xu Yunge secretly changed the topic: "Have you found out Wang Baozhi's whereabouts?" ”
……
The weather was getting colder and colder before the beginning of winter, and by the time Wang Baozhi woke up, she found herself in the center of a nest of dead trees, surrounded by shrubs and weeds, with little sign of human activity.
An ancient statue with a beast face and tusks, leaning against mossy masonry, may have been dedicated to some kind of faith, but now the temple has long since collapsed. There is no plaque, no mobile phone, and Wang Baozhi doesn't know where this is.
This feeling of being away from your parents and never finding yourself is strangely reassuring. Wang Baozhi was mentally exhausted, inexplicably, she knew that she was looking for this feeling in the first place.
It's just that I really want to stay here forever?
There was a white shadow swaying in the corner of Wang Baozhi's eyes, and she quietly turned her head, what suffocated her was that the slender and pale back was almost exactly the same as Hu Xiaoyu on the day she fell from the building.
It's just that no matter how Wang Baozhi moves left and right, what she sees is always her back, which makes Wang Baozhi feel an inexplicable weakness, so cold that she can almost squat on the ground.
What the hell is going on and why am I here? Dr. Zhu said that she could cure me, why did I see Xiaoyu again, is this really a dream? Why is it all so real?
"No, that's not right, I seem like I've really been here before, I have a picture of this place in my memory, what am I missing?" Wang Baozhi only felt that her head was full of fog, and she didn't know if the fear was too strong, so she selectively closed that memory.
Why am I going through such torture and pain, and why do I feel that she is getting more and more terrible?
The memories are extremely painful, but as long as he tries to clear the fog, Wang Baozhi finds that there is a hot current surging in his body. As if that was the original reality, that was what it was like to be truly alive.
Everything was silent, and the pale back stood in the shadows, and suddenly disappeared!
Instead, the stone slab under the beast-faced statue came with a familiar murmur and a strange beating sound.
I want to open it and see what's inside! Wang Baozhi's eyes widened suddenly, her body began to tremble, she could barely control herself, she wanted to knock down the beast-faced statue, desperately lifted the stone slab to see if she was there.
It's like a tendon in the brain, constantly heating and hot, so that Wang Baozhi can't ignore the sound, and he can't control his behavior more and more.
"No, don't, Wang Baozhi, you have to calm down! Dr. Zhu is right, whether it is an illusion or reality, you should take it seriously and think about the cause and effect while you are sober. Only by understanding the source and cause of the hallucination can I break free from its control, and I will not hurt more people. ”
Wang Baozhi took out the thermos flask and small paper bag in his arms, and the white sertraline hydrochloride tablets meant a cure and a price. Despite the side effects and contraindications of taking it, and even a period of discomfort after stopping the drug, at this moment, it is a solid weapon against the compulsion of depression.
"Eat, with willpower alone, I can't fight against the dual illness of body and mind. It's not an impulse that patience can resist for a while, it slowly eats away at my reason, convinces my mind, takes over my body to manipulate it all. ”
At the same time, another voice said in her ear: "Don't take it, throw away the disgusting medicine, as long as you take the medicine, everyone will say that you are crazy, and you will never be able to wash away the stigma." Come and see, Xiaoyu, she has always been here, and she is waiting for you to keep your promise and become her good friend forever. ”
Wang Baozhi's body was trembling, she struggled with the prompting of Dr. Zhu and strange voices, she longed for physical and mental freedom, to escape from the nightmare that never saw the light of day, and no longer to hurt others or herself uncontrollably at every turn.
But she coveted the silence in front of her, intoxicated with the secret pleasure that no one would ever find herself, as if she only wanted nothing and listened to the guidance and explanation of that voice, all the troubles and pains of the world could go away with the wind.
"No, my parents are still waiting for me, I haven't paid all the debts I owe, I want to live for them!"
Wang Baozhi squeezed the pill tightly and slammed it into his mouth before his thoughts were shaken.
From the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue, throughout the mouth, the feeling of numbness and bitterness slowly spreads. In a trance, she heard an angry and frantic roar, and although she trembled, the voice seemed to constantly scold her betrayal and choice, but she swallowed it anyway.
Another special medicine prescribed to her by Dr. Zhu last night was very expensive, and the embarrassed appearance of her parents was vivid, and Wang Baozhi could not forget it. Once you take the medicine and wait for a few minutes, the anxiety and tension in your heart begin to ease, and the tendon in your brain seems to be softened.
This feeling of liberation, the ease of being uncontrolled, is truly unforgettable.
"Special drugs can only save you for a while, you have to take this kind of medicine for a long time to be effective, and you also need to live optimistically. If you blindly rely on specific drugs and conventional drugs, you will only end up in a vicious circle and go completely crazy. Thinking of Dr. Zhu's words, Wang Baozhi regained the courage to live.
"Whatever it is, don't be curious about it, get out of here. Just like I used to, I had to get out of my imaginary dorm room sooner! ”
Wang Baozhi clenched her fists, and suddenly a gust of wind surged, as if she heard the cry of a baby.
"Baby? I'm taking medication, I don't have a boyfriend, and I don't plan to get married and have children for the time being, why do I think of babies? The cold mountain wind blew Wang Baozhi's face numb, she only knew that this was a mountain, but she didn't know where the mountain was.
The mountains and forests are a little shady, and the autumn flowers are full of ripe and bright atmosphere.
Beyond the ruins, a rammed dirt path was barely discerned. Perhaps it was the willingness of the weak body to walk in it, and the toughness grass scraped on both sides of the woolen jacket was very powerful, like a pair of invisible little hands, trying to prevent Wang Baozhi's escape.
After not walking a few steps, Wang Baozhi felt cold again, and the invisible baby seemed to be nearby. In a trance, she saw a poor child, cold purple all over, and stretched out his little hand to her, trying to burrow into her body to keep warm.
"No, I don't have a baby, and I'm not your mother! You can't fool me! ”
Wang Baozhi hugged the thermos flask in her arms, she didn't know how to explain all this, but Dr. Zhu once told her: if the environment makes you hallucinate, you must escape from that environment as soon as possible.
"Yes, is anyone here?" Wang Baozhi was so frightened that her voice was a little distorted, her voice was not loud, almost doing useless work, and this timid and ineffective cry quickly turned into disgust with herself.
"No, I can't loathe myself, I can't hate myself. Isn't it just walking? There is no one without people, and I can find my way down the mountain myself! ”
Wang Baozhi tried his best to resist the shout, and gradually the sound began to distort, the baby's cry seemed to turn into the strange cry of the baby fish, and the grass and bushes nearby made a rustling sound, as if there was really a baby crawling in it.
Feeling that his ankles were constantly cold and numb, and his strength was gradually losing, Wang Baozhi was in a hurry, and rushed forward with all his might: "Run!" ”
However, just as she was about to rush out of the gloomy woodland, a snake swimming in the middle of the path made Wang Baozhi so frightened that she turned around and stepped into the grass, and her feet suddenly fell into the air, and the whole person threw herself directly into a half-human-high dirt pit.
The cold attack behind her, Wang Baozhi stiffened and couldn't move on the spot, there was a clammy and cold sticky thing trying to drill into her body, and the residual warmth contained in the thermos cup in her arms was the last weapon against it.
"I'm not your mother, get out of here!"
Wang Baozhi felt that the thermos cup in her arms was getting colder and colder, and when she was becoming more and more desperate, a manic dog barked and the baby's cry was like a natural enemy, and it shrank away violently and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
