This situation encountered by Dr. Ann was not uncommon before. Dr. Ann was originally helping the patient, but again, his ultimate goal was to heal him at the cost of the ghost leaving the patient's body. So from this point of view, even if the ghost and Dr. Ann have a heated conversation, they are still opposite in nature. This is also for the reason why in the past, when Hu Zongren and I dealt with ghost cases, we would often be attacked by ghosts because of this.

I said to Dr. Ann, you decided not to continue to treat this patient from that time, right? Dr. Ann shook his head and said, No, although he was sure that it was as he had guessed, but such a thing had never happened once in his own career, at least when it was so obvious that he was aware of it. So at that moment, Dr. An actually had a strong sense of curiosity in addition to being afraid, after hanging up the phone. He began to go over and over some of their cases in the field of psychotherapy about this condition.

Dr. An said that through research, he learned that he was not the only psychiatrist who encountered such a thing, but that most doctors had been in contact with patients with such statements to a greater or lesser extent, such as claiming to have seen ghosts, or even believing that they had seen ghosts, but very few patients who could be consulted were in a state of ghost upper body. But since then, Dr. Ann said, strange things have happened more and more frequently, and sometimes I even feel that something is not normal. Dr. Ann told us that the next day, he went to work as usual, and on the way, he was fine, and he did not meet the stranger who reminded him to look for a hat before, but he almost did not arrange any other appointments that day, and kept checking information in the office, and he even felt that if this case was solved by himself, it would make a big leap in his career. So that day, he barely went out of the office door.

However, Dr. An said that only two people came into my office that day, one was Xiao Xie who came in to grind coffee for me, and the little girl at the front desk outside. The other is my aunt who came to my office in the afternoon to clean up, but both of them also said to themselves with that weird expression, remember to help me find a hat. Because of the previous experiences, although he felt very weird, Dr. An was not particularly afraid, and he even began to predict everyone who passed by, thinking that any of them could come over and say such an inexplicable word to him, so when this happened, he was a little less frightened because he was prepared in advance.

But the real reason for him to decide to give up this patient was that after the cleaning aunt left that day, he was upset because he couldn't find the key point and fell into a bottleneck for a while, so he called his wife at home and said that he might have to work overtime today, and if it was too late, maybe he wouldn't go home and sleep in the company. That night, until about 11 o'clock, he felt a little tired, so he went to his lounge to rest for a while and then check it out.

Dr. An stood up, and asked me and Hu Zongren to stand up as well, and he said, "Please come with me and have a look at my lounge." With that, he led us to the small door in the corner. Since the door is relatively small, I guess that the original layout of this office building should have been a utility room in this room. There were no windows in the room, and even in broad daylight it looked pitch black, except for a shelf of an iron bed. Dr. Ann walked over to the bedside, reached for the wall, and soon turned on a light.

Dr. Ann said that this lamp is the only one in my room, and sometimes when I am resting inside, I am worried that I will not be able to see, so I install this one, but because the light is too bright to help me think in the dark, I chose this color.

It was a dark red light that was not bright, which meant that it did not serve as a light at all, and even in total darkness, it could only make people see the outline of the objects around them, so that people would not hit the wall or hit anything else because they could not see. If I had to describe the brightness, it would not even be as bright as the nightside lamp commonly used in children's rooms, it was more like the oppressive dark red in the old honest film darkroom.

So I asked Dr. An, how uncomfortable is this kind of light, like bruising, you install this color light in such a small environment, you psychiatrist should really treat yourself. Dr. An smiled and said, this is just a matter of personal habits, if it is dark in front of him, the direction of his thinking will be darker, but if there is a lamp of this brightness, he will not see anything after opening his eyes, but it is not dazzling, so it can help him think. Dr. Ann paused and said, "Anyway, it's just my personal habit, but that night I was tired and rested in bed, and in order not to let myself relax, I usually put my glasses on my ears and put the frame between my chin and Adam's apple, so that if I accidentally fall asleep, I can quickly wake up because of the foreign body sensation of my glasses. And that day I was like that, and not long after I fell asleep, I began to sort out the complex questions in my head.

Dr. Ann said that after about ten minutes, I couldn't tell whether it was around me or directly in my head, and there was a very strange sound, which was very similar to someone's rapid breathing, and a bit like some kind of moth flapping its wings in my ears, in short, I couldn't describe the sound, and at the same time I smelled a musty smell of pickles in my nose. Then my face began to feel a strange tightness, a lot like the feeling of a gust of wind blowing in my face after I had just washed my face with cold water.

Hu Zongren and I glanced at each other, because when I heard Dr. An say this, I knew that it was one of the most perceptible sensations of ghosts approaching, and the so-called moldy taste of pickles in Dr. An's mouth was actually what we often called the taste of rotten eggs or dead rats, because these flavors are relatively easy to be confused, and the expressions found by different individuals are naturally different. And the sudden tightness and contraction on the human skin, this is a kind of perceptual ability that the skin directly transmits to the brain without thinking about it for the first time after the environment suddenly changes, and the so-called environmental change, to put it simply, is what passes by you at the moment, and does not belong to our environment, such as ghosts.

There are many other sensations like this, including a sudden and sudden cold, or a sudden goosebump or even a burning sensation for no reason, which may be evidence of the presence of ghosts, so when we encounter such things, we should pay attention to them from the perspective of self-preservation.

Dr. Ann went on to say that when the strange sound and sensation appeared, he subconsciously opened his eyes, but at first he did not associate it with the ghost, just an instinctive reaction to the strange sensation, but when he opened his eyes, he found that near the light bulb, there was something that seemed to be slowly stirring. Dr. Ann described it as something like when we brewed a cup of coffee, and the foam on the coffee would slowly turn, and since I didn't wear glasses at the time, I quickly put them on and wanted to take a closer look, but the moment I put them on, the mass disappeared, and with it, the door creaked.

When he said this, Hu Zongren reached out and grabbed the door, opened and closed it moderately, and made the kind of creaking sound that the hinge made after a long time. Dr. Ann went on to say that he thought he was dazzled, so he flicked his glasses a little more, and when he looked past the lenses and around the light bulb, the blurred shadow at first was still gone. Dr. An emphasized that because he was not asleep and was a relatively rational person as a psychiatrist, he was particularly convinced that he had really seen the shadow, and that the appearance of the shadow at that moment was related to the strange sensation he had noticed earlier. So I was a little scared, so I got up and turned off the light and went out of the room, and closed the door.

Dr. Ann leaned against the door and continued to speak to us, so he continued to sit back at his desk and look up the information, all the while he was fine, until about two o'clock in the morning, the night breeze began to pick up a little. After speaking, Dr. An pointed to the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind the area where we were sitting just now, and there was a small window at the height of one person, which was sloped, which was used to ventilate and not be drenched by rain when it rained. He told us that the reason why he noticed the wind was blowing was because the curtains were blowing and shaking, so he went to the window and closed it.

Dr. Ann said with a smile that because I was not tall, I closed the window with my eyes facing upward, but just when I was about to close the curtains, I saw a person's upper body, almost hanging upside down, outside the corner between the top of his floor-to-ceiling window and the ceiling.

Hu Zongren asked, is it outdoors? Dr. Ann said yes. Hu Zongren said that most ghosts will have varying degrees of translucency, and you should be sure that it is outdoors because it has actually appeared in your lounge before. Dr. Ann shook his head and said that he didn't know what to do, but the reason why he was sure it was outdoors was because the man's hands were like geckos, lying on the outside of the glass, and his head was twisting as much as he could at an abnormal angle, with a smile on his face.

Dr. Ann crossed his arms with his hands, as if he was a little scared, and he said, I recognized that smile, and it was exactly the same as the expression of all the people who told me to find a hat in the past few days.
