Chapter Eighty-Four: The Terror Ahead

"Silent Hill."

Qi Zihuan heard the little girl Sharon say the name of this place with some trembling, although he had been mentally prepared, he was still in a gloomy mood.

His memory of the plot of the movie is not very clear, except for the incomparably stylish triangle iron-headed man and the explosive nurse lady, what he remembers most is the three worlds in Silent Hill.

With bright sunshine and bright colors, it is the real world, that is, the world that Qi Zihuan and they are in now, and the poor mother and daughter, Ross and Sharon, set out from here and never returned.

There is also the gloomy and dead world, with ashes forever floating in the air, carved out by the final boss, Aleisa, as a cage to imprison the evildoers.

and the dark and bloody inner world of fire, rust, and all sorts of monsters, a projection of Aretha's mind distorted by extreme hatred.

The three worlds are separate and distinctly bounded, but they are bridged over each other, and the door to entry and exit is in the hands of Aresa.

This is a story of revenge where no one can be redeemed.

Qi Zihuan sighed softly in his heart, and said to Sharon in as kind a voice as possible: "You are really great, you describe it very clearly. Now why don't you go outside and play with that sister at the door for a while? I need to talk to your mom. ”

The girl nodded obediently. Qi Zihuan called his female secretary and asked her to take Sharon out of the door.

Only then did Qi Zihuan turn his head to Ross and ask, "Have you ever been to this town called Silent Hill?" Is it real or is it entirely a product of fantasy? ”

"The town is real, but our family has never been there." Rose looked at the door where her daughter had left, her eyes full of anxiety, "I've googled it ever since I heard Sharon mention it. There is a description of this place on a website called Ghost Town Network of America. According to the data, the economic lifeblood of this Silent Hill was a local coal mine, but one day in 1974, the coal mine suddenly caught fire, and the entire town was burned. Most of them were either burned to death or disappeared, and only a few escaped. ”

"That was almost thirty years ago. What is the current state of this place? ”

"I heard that there are still fires burning in the area, and the whole town has long been abandoned and no one has set foot on it." Ross had apparently done a detailed investigation of Silent Hill, and then added, "This Silent Hill is located in West Virginia, and I asked the adoption staff, and they told me that Sharon was from that state before she was adopted. ”

"Are you suspecting that Sharon visited Silent Hill as a child?"

"Well, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to explain everything she saw in her dreams."

According to Qi Zihuan's self-defined psychotherapy process, now that the information collection stage is basically completed, the next step should be to enter the flickering link.

Since he entered this role, this kind of thing has been done several times, and each time he is happy, but now he is obviously a little hesitant.

If Aretha controls the door to the world of Silent Hill, then Sharon is the key to open it. Qi Zihuan needs her, otherwise he will never find the entrance.

But it means that he will personally push the mother and daughter step by step into the abyss of evil, and there is no other way.

Qi Zihuan pretended to sort out the medical information in his hand, walked to the desk and flipped through the medical records and notebooks, and gritted his teeth for a while before making up his mind.

Turning around, he was already smiling kindly, and he said professionally, "Ms. Ross, according to the current situation, Dr. Richard's diagnosis and analysis of Sharon is correct. However, you don't have to worry too much, sleepwalking is not a serious disease, according to the experimental data of Japanese scholars, sleepwalking patients account for about 1%-6% of the total population, and if you include those who sleepwalk occasionally, this number will be even larger. ”

Rose's heart was a little relieved, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Doctor Qi, do you have any effective treatments?" ”

"Studies have shown that brain activity consists of two processes: "excitation" and "inhibition". When a person sleeps, the cells of the cerebral cortex are usually in a state of inhibition, and if one or more groups of nerve cells that innervate movement are still in a state of excitement, sleepwalking will occur. Generally speaking, as long as the patient is relaxed and accompanied by certain medications, the symptoms will be greatly relieved. ”

Qi Zihuan said very slipperily, these are a few words that he just memorized temporarily.

"But we've tried all of this, and Sharon's situation is getting worse and worse."

"Don't worry, after listening to your and Sharon's description just now, I suspect that Sharon experienced something in Silent Hill before, and that memory was selectively forgotten by her, but in the bottom of her heart, she still had anxiety, fear and other emotions, preventing her from truly relaxing."

"What should I do?"

"I've recently been working on a stimulant therapy, specifically in Sharon's case, which is to take Sharon back to Silent Hill and release the memories and emotions buried in her heart, supplemented by the right channeling, to solve the problem at the root." Qi Zihuan forcibly endured the guilt in his heart and further induced.

Rose, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, anxiously asked, "Will there be danger?" What if she loses control of her emotions then? ”

"If the hidden emotions erupt, they must be very intense, and they must be channeled immediately, otherwise it will cause deeper damage to her psyche." Qi Zihuan tried his best to be as serious as possible.

Rose was really devastated, and the hope that had been kindled was extinguished again, and he got up gloomily and took little Sharon away.

Qi Zihuan looked at their departing figures, and explained to the secretary who had never remembered his name: "Please cancel all my appointments in the past few days, and tell the public that I have an emergency and am recuperating, except for the call from the patient's home just now, you will be responsible for handling the rest of the calls." ”

Two days later, Qi Zihuan, who was throwing darts at an abstract painting, finally waited for the planned call.

"Doctor Qi, if I ask you to go to the clinic for a few days, how much will it cost?" Rose's tone was firm.

Qi Zihuan said lightly: "Ms. Ross, I don't need any fees. Because I've been writing a book on mental disorders in children recently, I think Sharon's case is typical. If you agree to let me observe, document, and eventually write into my book as a case, I will provide follow-up psychotherapy for Sharon free of charge. ”

"Ah, is that so?" Rose, who thought he would hear a large number, was a little confused, but he still instinctively agreed, "I agree." ”

The scheduled departure date is tomorrow.

Ross didn't know what kind of horror lay ahead.
