The light of a spark can set a prairie on fire, and even a hint of warmth can cheer people up. The light of the fire in the camp spread all around, and the cold breath of the night faded away. Bang Bang ...... Bang Bang ...... The firefire made a constant popping sound of burning wood, and the ashes burst into wisps of smoke and dust into the night sky.

"You, you ......" Tan Lin looked at Mu Yu who was sitting quietly opposite her with messy eyes, the secluded and dull atmosphere still had the previous embarrassment, and she swallowed: "Just now, just now, I ...... it"

"Nightmares can always make people extra clear, and if it were me, I would have a panicked face." Mu Tianyu smiled kindly. "I used to wake up from nightmares a lot, but then I was told to try to think about other good things when I woke up, so that the fear and anxiety would naturally decrease." He picked up a piece of burning wood and poked at the fire, and the fireworks flew higher. "You can ask me now."

"Hmm." Tan Lin's eyes were stunned, and she asked puzzledly, "Ask you?" ”

"Yes, after I told that case last night, I could see that you had something to ask me, and you kept staring at the notebook in your hand, did you want to ask me about the things written on it?"

"Oh." Tan Lin shook her head and smiled: "You, you used to be a private detective?" ”

"The position of a psychiatrist also requires a certain amount of insight, not to mention that your confused expression is very obvious, and you can know that there is something in your heart at a glance." Mu Tianyu threw over a canned meat near the fire. "Yes, mental pressure can promote stomach digestion at high speed, your stomach is empty now, look at your whole body trembling, like you just fell into an ice hole, you must have been hungry for a long time, replenish some physical strength."

Tan Lin held the can with both hands, and the warmth of the hot iron sheet instantly extended from the palm of her hand to the low of her heart. "Thank you...... Thank you. With a steaming aroma in her nose, she had almost never encountered such an appetite. You, you know what? She gobbled it up, hot meat flipping and rolling in her mouth. In fact, the case you mentioned last night seems familiar to me. She snorted, hunger making her forget her image. Who cares about these at a critical juncture, nothing is more important than life, and living is the greatest meaning of life.

Mu Tianyu put down the water glass in his hand and exclaimed, "Have you encountered it before? "This is not a trivial matter, and once it is touched, it may ruin the rest of his life like the ending of the protagonist in the story." It's not like it at all. ”

Tan Lin shook her head, her eyes staring at the raging flames, and she fell into deep thought. "No, it's not me, it's my sister, who has been through something like this, and it's the same story you tell. She, she's a pretty famous novelist, about writing some horror books, you know, working and thinking in this environment for a long time, it's inevitable that there will be some behavioral quirks. At first, I thought she was just suffering from a very common mental disorder, but things got worse and worse. Her red and swollen eyes soaked with tears again, and she set the empty can aside, picked up the corner of her coat and wiped the oil from her mouth. Even when she was in the hospital, she became extremely emotionally unstable, and sometimes I felt as if she was a different person, and eventually, the misfortune happened. ”

"She's a novelist?" Mu Tianyu suddenly thought of something, this scene, as if he had heard of it.

Tan Lin looked into his eyes and nodded. "Yes."

"There was an incident around Sun Lei, he said that there was a ......"

"Yes, that's right, it's her, that's my sister, she looked for Sun Lei for the so-called inspiration, that's why she went to that deserted town." Tan Lin sighed, she discussed it with herself when she made this decision. In fact, up to now, Tan Lin is also very self-blaming, if she could have been stopped at that time, maybe there would not be a separation of yin and yang now. "She said that that is the path she should take, and the meaning of life has its own certainty in the dark."

Mu Tianyu got up and added another heavy piece of wood, the light of the warm fire was enough to support until dawn. "But what about the Dead Island you mentioned?"

"I don't know." Tan Lin felt that Mu Yu was very special, so she no longer hid this secret. This came up in her notes, and there was a brief description of the island of Honghu, where she always heard voices on the island and felt that something was calling her. In the past, she was extremely sensitive to this aspect of her work, so when I saw the contents of the diary, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If I had found out earlier, I wouldn't have ...... Ay. "Self-blame can make people decadent, especially those who value feelings, Tan Lin is now depressed, shrouded in a shadow of sadness, even the raging flames around him can't dispel it.

Mu Tianyu stood up, he glanced at the depths of the path, and then looked at the mountains in the distance, that feeling was very special, although it was also an evil force, but it was particularly weird, and it was not clear for a while. "What's wrong?" Seeing this, Tan Lin asked, her heart was still apprehensive about what had happened before, and she also looked at the secluded night sky together, the outlines of the deep shadows of the two mountains still terrified herself.

"It's fine." Mu Tianyu turned around, picked up an L-shaped wooden block from the side of the bag, and threw it into the fire. "If this continues, it seems that it will not be long before the flames will burn to ashes, and the withered sunken wood has been corroded."

"What? Corrode? Tan Lin was at a loss for this word.

"Oh, that's probably what it means to get wet." Mu Tianyu explained casually, and he continued to ask, "Your sister, what happened?" He walked over to the searchlight and brightened it up again, and the light throughout the camp looked brighter, but the people in the tent were still in a deep sleep. I know a few other things besides being a psychiatrist, things that no one else knows, and if you can tell me, maybe I can help. ”

Tan Lin stared into Mu Tianyu's eyes, his eyes were full of determination, he should be trustworthy, not to mention, the most important point, he saved himself and dragged himself back from the hands of death. "She, she committed suicide in the hospital, but, but she will never kill herself!"

"Why are you so sure?"

In the silent night sky, deep in the jungle, the cry of a nightingale came from a long time, perhaps from farther away, perhaps above the two mountain ranges. "Because she is a devout believer, suicide will be caused by ...... blasphemy of the soul and banishment to hell. ”

"Blasphemy of the soul and banishment to hell." At this moment, the two spoke in unison.

Tan Lin looked at him, her gaze from top to bottom, and then to his eyes. "You also know the precepts of the church? Are you also a believer? ”

Mu Tianyu pondered, the number of times he stepped into the church door was only a handful, and he didn't remember the last time it was a few years ago, his memory was messy and his impression was blurred. "Probably not, but I just know some absurd canons, and sometimes I wonder if a criminal who is lost in his path suddenly feels ashamed, remorseful, and bitter about all the evil deeds he has committed. So he wanted to end this suffering fate with death, so he committed suicide, but in this way, can the soul be transcended and liberated? No, not at all, it's not just for believers, suicides are punished by exile to hell for blasphemy against their souls. ”

"She's not going to kill herself!" Tan Lin said with a firm expression and a deep voice: "Once when she was lost, when she was most painful, she still believed that she would be blessed by the gods, so even when she faced a dangerous situation, she could save the day. You can't fathom her fanaticism for inspiration, even risking her own safety to go alone to places that the world doesn't want to touch, where eerie hallucinations waft and screams of killing blood echo. She was fearless, and because she believed that she was protected by the Light, she would never kill herself! Tan Lin's excitement gradually subsided, she shook her head and sighed: "But, but the surveillance screen on the roof of the hospital records the entire process of her suicide and fall." ”

It is really strange that according to common sense, a believer has a strong resistance to the invasion of evil forces, at least compared to other ordinary people. What's more, she didn't die in Kennel Town, and presumably she would have died there instead of going back safely. Suicide? It is getting stranger and stranger for a believer to go to hell. Mu Tianyu was silent, he thought about it and said to Tan Lin, "Can you show me that notebook?" Your sister's notes. ”
