Chapter 8: The Strange Woman
There are some things I choose to forget, but there are always people who keep talking in my ear, I am like an earthworm in a dry river, still a grain of flying sand or a stone can change my fate. Mu Tianyu didn't care so much when he got to this point, he picked up half a glass of water on the table and drank it all. "Not long after, our adoptive father also died, maybe he couldn't bear the pain of losing his wife anymore, but he passed away anyway." Mu Tianyu's face was blue, this was the past he didn't want to talk about. When the people of the village learned about it, they all left, so it was a land of ruins. The more time passes, the more ridiculous the rumors about this place become, and people like to talk about things they don't know, and then it becomes what you think. What mysteriously disappeared and disappeared suddenly, that's why God-given will bring up such a story. ”
This time the psychology exchange meeting was not the same as before, and most of the people on the field came prepared. In today's society, an outrageous exorcism ritual or a child's play of psychic transmission can make profits dozens of times higher than the cost of treating the mentally ill. However, changing careers from a counselor to a psychic medium is a good way, and it is easy to fool ordinary people with a certain practical foundation. If even psychology professor Mu Tianyu indirectly agrees with the existence of supernatural events, coupled with the high-profile and exaggerated exaggeration of the media, the psychic media industry will definitely be officially recognized.
As for the conversation that the patient heard, directly below his bedroom was the living room. It was normal for someone to talk here a long time ago, and Tianci and I often chatted on the couch. Mu Tianyu flipped through five pages of the blank paper, and each one stayed for a moment. The patient's account states two things, one of which is that he believes that two mysterious men rowed their canoes up to the dock by the lake, followed him into the kitchen of the house, and heard conversations. However, I didn't see it with my own eyes; Second, while paddling in the bay, the patient vaguely noticed another canoe in front of him, and kept chasing after him, but never confirmed whether there was anyone on the boat until he left later. Mu Tianyu raised his head and stared at the Wan-style lamp body on the top of the lobby, the dim yellow light was very oppressive, and he tried his best to shift his concentration, wanting to dispel the sadness in his heart. Please dim the ceiling light slightly. As he spoke, he looked at someone outside the lobby, but he didn't know where to look. The whole hall suddenly brightened up a lot, and a set of black dresses had a sharp contrast. "Thank you very much, thank you." Mu Tianyu nodded over there.
Because the patient's memory fragments are messy, he completely shuffles the order of the three points, which is the only explanation. The truth is that he must have vaguely seen a canoe in the bay, then felt two mysterious men enter the house on the pier, and finally faintly heard a conversation in the hallway of the living room in the middle of the night. This is the only explanation, and it is consistent with the above signs of the patient. As for why he vaguely saw other boats in the bay, after all, it had something to do with the departure of our adoptive mother, who was also rowing on her deathbed. "They are now very dissatisfied with Mu Tianyu, and most of them have malicious intentions. If before that, Mu Tianyu went to the hospital because of a car accident, and fell to his death from the roof of the hospital due to an accident. The media across the country will make a big fuss about this, and then the theme of the supernatural will make headlines, and the spirit of the Demon Destroying Guardian Dao will once again be pushed to the highest peak of human pursuit.
While the fog has been hanging over your path and has blocked the temptations of the ghosts of your mind, all remaining doubts are now simple and clear. Standing on the shoulders of giants and looking at the blue sky, just look up. Mu Tianyu closed the white paper and put it into a gray folder, and there was a small note with three black characters in the upper left corner, Mu Tianci. "The patient sees a vision from the front yard on the other side of the lake, because the glass of the gate is painted with a layer of black mud, which is the patient's own doing, in order to block the view from the outside world, but at the same time he also hallucinates himself, so he thinks that the sky on the other side of the lake is abnormal and thunderstorms." Another two hours passed, and soon the end was near, and the court was depressed without the excitement it had before. The definition of the case has taken shape and it is almost impossible to change it. "I know there are still doubts in the minds of some of you, but I would say that the whole thing was doomed from the beginning. I also went back there after the incident, and as the patient first described, there were only two mirrors in the room, one of which was broken. And the broken side was in his bedroom, leaving only the only clue to his blood, and this broken mirror was broken by himself. ”
Mu Tianyu packed up the documents and put them in his leather bag, he pressed the button of the projector with his left hand, and the light at the front desk dropped suddenly. "As for the letter, it was before that, I told him. Thank you for participating, it's getting late, please be safe when traveling. Mu Tianyu only left his back, and he disappeared in front of the screen with heavy steps with a melancholy mood.
"Hey, I thought there would be a suspense in the ending." There was a commotion in the hall, and the crowd got up and left one after another, inevitably someone vented their inner anger, and then reached some kind of agreement. A middle-aged male reporter pulled down the front cover of the camera, and he sighed with some dissatisfaction to his unknown colleagues.
The other reporter was young, and he was scrambling to pack his equipment. "You're talking to me?" He looked happy and a little excited. "I'm sorry, I've just been doing this for a short time, and today is my first official live report." As he spoke, he looked at the empty and gloomy podium. "He spoke so well, it was wonderful." Full of admiration for Mu Tianyu.
"It's good, but half of the people will lose their jobs because of it." The middle-aged man slung the camera on his shoulder, stepped over a stool and chair, and turned to pull his bag.
The mind of a newcomer to the industry always can't turn so fast, and he can't think so much, he messily tidied up his outfits, dragged his bags and followed. "Excuse me, what you just said? Someone will lose their job because of this? What do you mean? He was wondering if it was him, the interview experience two months ago was still vivid, remembering that the column team leader had been roaring and contemptuous of him all day long, he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, how could he be fired before this revenge was avenged.
The middle-aged man was slightly angry, and snorted coldly: "How much is mental illness worth in terms of social attention?" Do you have to dig up something that people want to see? What evil spirits possess, ghost houses, exorcism rituals, if you really want to hold this rice bowl, you have to walk towards the right goal, otherwise you will starve to death. The rookie was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva and followed.
Ice and snow world, the cold breath is pervasive, the dark parking lot is full of biting cold, out of the elevator, Mu Tianyu tried to call his lover's mobile phone, but there has been no signal. He was the first to arrive at the parking lot, reluctant to be interviewed by reporters again, just as the group was still packing up in the lobby. The empty and quiet basement echoed his footsteps, and the cold wind still made him shiver. "Ding-dong." After walking a few steps, there was the sound of an elevator arriving at the floor behind him, Mu Tianyu didn't look back, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible, and at the same time hoped that it was not the reporter who was chasing.
"Hey." It was a woman's voice, Mu Tianyu glanced around and didn't find anyone else, this was calling himself, he turned around with questions. She was a young woman in her early twenties, dressed not like a journalist or even a peer in the industry. "It's the first time I've heard you speak, and it's not bad." She put her hands in her dark red pockets to try to relax her tension, but she felt cold around her. "I mean you had a good presentation." She smiled awkwardly, still a little distracted by this handsome man, even if she had sat in the audience and watched him for so long.
Mu Tianyu sighed helplessly, he looked at the Derink car on the left, and wanted to leave here immediately. "I'm sorry, but I don't think it's a great way to pick up a conversation in this environment." There are many women who hint at him, and this is not the first time that such an encounter has occurred.
"Oh, I'm sorry." The woman looked surprised, and spread her hands unnaturally. "I sat in the last row of the hall, near the corner." She tried hard to explain that she wasn't really here to talk to her. "Actually, I don't think you're speaking very well." At this sentence, the woman's voice was a little low.
Mu Tianyu frowned, looking up and down at the woman not far away. "Sorry, I don't understand, you mean ......"
"You're deceiving yourself, you know it's extraordinary, but you ......"
"Stop! I'm sorry. Mu Tianyu immediately interrupted her words, and her voice increased a lot with the irritability in her heart, and the echo lingered wantonly in the parking lot and could not be exhausted. I don't want to talk about it anymore, that's it. If you have any comments, please let those reporters upstairs know and they will be eager to hear it. Mu Tianyu walked to the car door and took out the car keys from his trouser pocket with his right hand.
"You're just running away." As if talking to herself, the woman looked to the other side of the parking lot and ignored Mu Tianyu. On the contrary, Mu Tianyu opened the car door, looked at this inexplicable woman, and was so curious that she didn't get into the car. "You know he's doing this to give you a meaning, but you don't dare admit it. Why did he record these things? The woman said as she frowned deeply and looked solemnly at Mu Tianyu next to the car door. You can explain all the weird things he encountered, but you can't even say the simplest reason. He's already met with something like that, and he wants to tell you but he's afraid of causing panic in society, so he's written it down, and he's sure you'll understand. ”
"Thank you very much for saying so much, you haven't asked yet, are you?" Mu Tianyu suspected that she was a reporter, but she didn't find that she had a hidden camera on her, and there were no other accomplices around.
"In your words, it's called a psychic medium." The woman remained serious, she didn't seem to feel the cold anymore, and the biting wind still blew her shoulder-length hair. "But we have our own name, and I'm called the Soul Seeker."
"Detective, spirit, one?" Mu Tian repeated awkwardly, he wanted to laugh at this time, but he couldn't hold back the beating of his facial muscles, and his pop was a little presumptuous. "I'm sorry, I ......"
"There's really nothing to say to people like you." The woman chuckled, took her hands out of her pockets, turned and walked across the parking lot, stopping in front of a blue pickup truck. "But thankfully, we won't see each other again, you should really go out into the world and leave the city for some remote places. My father was called an exorcist, and he said this on his deathbed. You will never teach a person who is pretending to be stupid and teach him anything. This is a fitting phrase to describe you. Then, the woman got into the car, closed the door heavily, and with the sound of the horn, a beam of light directed the distance and gradually disappeared.
Mu Tianyu pouted, the second monk was puzzled, he seemed to be smiling, stepped on the accelerator, and the sound of the engine quickly disappeared in the empty parking lot of the Hengshi Building.
