Chapter 21: The Color of Nightmares
Xu Tian looked around, the windows were closed, and the steel bars were welded, and he pushed the walls around him, there was no secret door, this was an ordinary room.
"As far as I know, this room can only be accessed through the main entrance, and it is impossible to escape when there is someone guarding it outside." Xu Tian said.
"Actually, I think so too, but from your inference, the man who escaped at that time should have run into Sharon's room, but he disappeared, if he didn't have the possibility of escaping, then how do you think that man disappeared?" Li Zhitong asked.
"Are you here to test me? I haven't asked you why the hell you're here. Xu Tian asked.
"Like you, I'm here to investigate the case, you need a foreign helper, and I'm that character." Li Zhitong said.
"Alright! Although this is a completely sealed room, there can be many ways for the man to disappear, the first is that Sharon is dressed up as a man by my exclusion, although it is theoretically impossible, but if Sharon is a strong person, plus someone helps her knock on the door, then this method is not impossible. The second is that the salesperson pretends to be the man, as long as the salesperson goes into the bathroom, then takes off her clothes and throws them out the window, and the accomplices outside pick up her clothes. Xu Tian analyzed.
"That's a very good point, but there's another possibility." Li Zhitong said.
"I also thought about the last possibility that the man didn't run into the hotel at all, which is very unlikely, unless the man is a cat or a monkey, and he can quickly jump to the second floor of the restaurant, but this is impossible, the world we live in is a normal world." Xu Tian said.
"Then did you ever think that there was no man in the first place?" Li Zhitong said.
"It's impossible, the waiters and guests in the restaurant can testify, and now the broken glass in the restaurant next door has not been installed, and the human and physical evidence is all there......"
Speaking of this, a thought suddenly flashed in Xu Tian's mind, this is a very terrible event, if what Li Zhitong said is true, those illusions he has seen before can be explained.
"What are you here for?" Xu Tian asked with a sinking face.
"I've been secretly investigating since the last time Jin Shaolan saw some dreams, and I haven't found out about this matter yet, but I'm sure that someone is secretly making trouble, you have to know what kind of person we are here to track down, just a few salesmen and diners, you can buy it for a small amount of money, the important thing is to make you believe everything that is happening in front of you." Li Zhitong said.
"Impossible! Are you challenging my perception? Xu Tian tried his best to argue.
"Why don't we exchange information, you can come in." Li Zhitong shouted loudly towards the door.
Teacher Jin quickly walked in, and when Teacher Jin closed the door, the smell of smoke on his body that did not dissipate hit Xu Tian's face, this smell Xu Tian felt very familiar, and it was very similar to the smell he smelled when he asked Sharon before.
"What's wrong? I see that your eyes are full of wonder, do you smell familiar? Teacher Jin said.
Xu Tian's head seemed to explode, and the black-and-white picture that had been lost for a long time appeared in Xu Tian's eyes again, everything in the room lost its color, and the scene from this morning appeared in his mind.
At that time, Xu Tian walked into the restaurant next door and saw that the people had changed, first the guests who were eating were all familiar faces, and there was also Teacher Jin among them; Then there is Li Zhitong's waiter identity, and then there is the back kitchen, and the two middle-aged female chefs have also changed, and they are wearing police uniforms.
Xu Tian walked towards the door, holding his mobile phone to edit a text message to Lao Chen, just when Xu Tian walked to the door, Teacher Jin suddenly rushed over, but Teacher Jin rushed to the door just a false shot, his real goal was to kick the window and jump out. Xu Tian followed Teacher Jin's footsteps and rushed into the hotel, stood near the front desk and made a series of reasoning, then walked to Sharon's room and knocked on the door.
When Sharon opened the door, he was greeted by the smell of cigarettes on Mr. Jin's body.
"Are you challenging my perception?"
"Impossible!"
All the conversations with Li Zhitong were repeated in my mind, and all these things were connected, and in the end only one conclusion could be reached, from the very beginning, Xu Tian fell into the puzzle arranged by the police.
The style of painting suddenly changed, and time seemed to go back to early morning, Xu Tian checked Kang Yuliang's car at the entrance of the alley, and according to the location where the car was parked, Xu Tian deduced that the people under the car should have fled to the alley.
Just as Xu Tian was about to walk into the alley, he remembered that he had made a move at that time, in order to confirm that there was indeed someone hidden under the car, Xu Tian leaned over and glanced under the car.
It was that moment, Xu Tian originally did not have this picture in his memory, there was indeed something under the car, it was the doll with turquoise eyes that appeared three times.
When he looked under the car, Xu Tian seemed to see the doll smiling at him, and that grim smile gave Xu Tian goosebumps.
At this time, Xu Tian, who was standing between Li Zhitong and Teacher Jin, held his head and squatted down, at this time Xu Tian's head was even more chaotic than just now, what happened before was replacing the original memory, which one is true? Although Xu Tian's mind was not completely confused, he could no longer tell which memory was true.
Seeing that Xu Tian's face was very painful, Li Zhitong quickly cut off the burning incense on the bedside table, and Teacher Jin pulled Xu Tian out of the hotel, and Xu Tian felt more comfortable outside.
"How? What did you just see? Teacher Jin asked.
"My memory has changed, but I still don't believe the picture I just saw, I haven't seen the doll under Kang Yuliang's car, and the people I saw in the restaurant next door are not policemen, I have all these perceptions." Xu Tian said.
"What you see is what you fear most in your heart, you are afraid of the doll who appeared at the scene of the crime three times, and you are also afraid of us, because you have doubts in your heart about us, and that's why you are afraid of us." Teacher Jin said.
"What the hell is going on? Why do I see those things? Xu Tian asked.
"We're all stuck in the same quagmire, I've seen all the images you've seen, but not now, it was when I was very young." Teacher Jin said.
