Chapter 118: Inner Demon (11)
Is there anyone in this world who can see their backs with their own eyes?
It's not a scene in the mirror, it's a real, real back seen from someone else's point of view.
Of course, this is impossible. Even one's own face can only be seen through the mirror, let alone a back without eyes.
Maybe only by splitting a person in half, if he can still live, maybe he can go to the back of his other half of his body and see what his back looks like, right?
But for normal people, our backs can still only exist in fantasy. But it doesn't seem like a big deal, because you never need to stop yourself behind you.
When a person stands in front of a mirror in a dark environment, he can't quickly tell whether the person in front of him is himself or not due to visual problems, not to mention Zhou Ji's situation? He was talking face-to-face with the back he had never seen in his life in his dreams, and it was already incredible to think that it was familiar, how could he have thought that the man with two red lights on his face might be himself?
At this time, the horror in Zhou Ji's heart had reached an incomparable level. His feet went limp, and he sat down like a mess of mud.
Wang Yao, who was on the side, looked at Zhou Ji's sudden reaction, and immediately understood everything in his heart.
It turned out that the speculation he didn't want to admit was all true. That is: the people in the dream that Zhou Ji said, and the people who fled after attacking him, are all himself.
In other words, Zhou Ji is likely to suffer from self-phobia. Everything about him fits so well that one can't think of any other possibility.
One of the most obvious manifestations of a patient with self-phobia is that he will regard himself as a stranger, and eventually he will develop to the point that he does not believe that he sees himself even when he looks in the mirror, so he will do some self-harming behavior, but he will still think that he is attacking a stranger who threatens his safety.
But how could Wang Yao perceive that Zhou Ji might be suffering from self-phobia?
At the beginning, Wang Yao didn't actually think about it. From the time he came last night after hearing the sound and saw Zhou Ji's miserable appearance and panicked behavior, coupled with the extent of the damage in his room, he really thought that he had been attacked and had a fierce struggle with him. So until he tied the fainted Zhou Ji to his clothes, carefully examined his strange wounds, searched the messy room, looked through the corridor surveillance video and sent people to block and search the inside and outside of the hotel, he never had the slightest doubt about Zhou Ji's words.
Although Wang Yao didn't find any useful clues in this series of intense actions, let alone catch the person who infiltrated Zhou Ji's room to attack him, he didn't even take a trace of the mysterious person who escaped.
In desperation, Wang Yao had no choice but to order the people in the technical department to take all the fingerprint samples in Zhou Ji's room and test them one by one. But the final result was very disappointing, because most of the furniture, whether intact or tattered, nothing was found, only a small part still had fresh fingerprints of Wang Yao and Zhou Ji remaining, and there was no need to record the traces of a longer time, which had absolutely nothing to do with last night's incident.
After tossing for so long, following countless clues that seemed to be flawed step by step, he entered an insoluble dead end, which made Wang Yao feel frustrated. Because everything seems so unreasonable, if there was a real person who attacked Zhou Ji last night and fled, then how could he disappear like a cloud of vapor under the dual surveillance of electronics and agents without even a trace?
If Wang Yao had never come into contact with File 0376, or perhaps had never seen that strange red-haired man, then he would have been able to determine that Zhou Ji must be crazy. He carried out a series of crazy smashing and self-harm in the room, and suddenly realized that he was being attacked, and rushed out to meet Wang Yao with a scream in panic.
But Wang Yao's main task is to deal with the main force of the supernatural incident No. 0376 file, and he has also seen the elusive behavior and incredible superpowers of the red-haired man several times, so as soon as this kind of thing came out, his subjective thoughts ranked Zhou Ji crazy in second place, and the red-haired man's attack on Zhou Ji ranked first. Because he didn't want to believe that the former elite agent Zhou Ji would go crazy to that point.
This kind of thinking was kept until Zhou Ji sobered up and told him in detail what happened last night.
Wang Yao sighed, stepped forward and helped the paralyzed Zhou Ji:
“…… How are you feeling right now? ”
Zhou Ji did not speak. He let Wang Yao pull him to sit on the bed, and the expression on his face was still an unbelievable stunned and painful.
Wang Yao turned around and poured a glass of water for Zhou Ji, returned to Zhou Ji's side, and said tentatively:
"Zhou Ji, you ...... Why don't you see a doctor? I think you're ...... right now."
"How did you find out?"
Zhou Ji suddenly interrupted Wang Yao and asked in a very strange tone.
Wang Yao didn't react, he was stunned: "What? ”
"I ask you, how do you know that the person in my dreams, and the person who attacked me, is my own?" Zhou Ji suddenly turned his head away, staring at Wang Yao with cold eyes, "Why don't you think it was someone like the Black Book Company who attacked me?" ”
"Alas. Since you have taken the initiative to say it yourself......" Wang Yao shook his head, put down the water glass in his hand and said:
"At first I didn't think of anything from how you describe the stranger. Because it's so general, you can meet one or two on the street. But you know what? In this room, there are only two fingerprints in the past few days: you and me. ”
"The places where the people from the Black Book Company have been are also spotless." Zhou Ji said coldly.
"Yes, but how do you explain the scars on your body?"
Wang Yao said helplessly: "Don't you think the injuries on your body are weird?" Most of them are on the right side, and the wounds are very small, not at all like someone deliberately hurting you. Coupled with the fact that you told me that the person who attacked you grabbed you by the neck with his right hand and lifted you up, and did nothing else, I was sure that the wound on your body was not being attacked, but more like you were the bad guy, and when you choked someone, the marks left by others scratching and kicking you left on you. ”
“…… So? Do you think what I experienced last night was a lie, and that I played it all out myself? Zhou Ji's voice suddenly became sharper.
"No, I'm not saying you're lying."
Wang Yao sighed again, "I suspect that you may have been too tired and hallucinating lately, or ...... I guess I'm suffering from self-phobia. ”
