Chapter 3: The Night Demon Torture

"What? So expensive? Xia An'an was really surprised, "Ten thousand yuan, I, I ......"

Pei Jian pulled the corner of Xia An'an's clothes and whispered to her: "I have four thousand savings here, how much do you have there?" ”

Xia An'an shook her head, "No, you can't use your money, you still have to save money to pay a down payment to buy a house and get married." ”

Rao Peier secretly observed Ran Sinian's face, he was unmoved, he didn't look like he wanted to let go, he was really hard-hearted. "That's it, it's not easy to see you, get a five-thousand-off, five thousand!" Rao Peier made her own decisions without permission.

Ran Sinian glanced at Rao Pei'er and asked in a low voice, "What?" Are you out of five thousand? ”

Rao Peier took the case, "Ran Sinian, why are you so unsympathetic?" Miss Xia's father has just passed away, and his death is unknown. Pei Jian still has to save money for a down payment, and if he doesn't have a house, how can he marry a daughter-in-law? Look at you again, you live in a villa! People's money is hard money with sweat beads and eight petals, you only need to use your brain to make money, you can talk, just like that, you still open your mouth, it's too much, right? ”

Ran Sinian felt that he couldn't get over his face, and he didn't bother to talk to Rao Pei'er more, so he had to turn to Xia An'an and said lightly: "Five thousand is five thousand, you pay the deposit first, and after paying the deposit, you can tell me about your father and his dream." ”

In the end, Xia An'an and Pei Jian scraped together all the bits and pieces on their bodies, finally scraped together a deposit of 1,000 yuan, and simply signed an agreement.

Xia An'an's father is called Xia Long, forty-eight years old, he worked as a security guard when he was young, and later worked as a warehouse manager and dormitory manager, and before his death, he had been working as a watchman in a garment factory in the suburbs, responsible for night patrols, fire prevention and theft prevention. Charon was widowed in his early years, and he pulled Cheyenne to adulthood, and he was recognized as a good father and a good man.

At Ran Sinian's request, Xia An'an introduced Xia Lon's background and personality traits before relaying Xia Lon's dream. Xia An'an's description of his father was inevitably subjective, so Ran Sinian asked Pei Jian on the side to talk about Xia Long. The answer given by Pei Jian is that Xia Long is an upright, diligent and down-to-earth elder with a good reputation. This is definitely an objective truth.

When Sharon had frequent nightmares, Cheyenne asked him if something had happened, which caused Sharon to suddenly have frequent nightmares. Sharon was adamant that nothing had happened, but now that Cheyenne thought about it, something must have happened.

After repeated questioning by Cheyenne, Sharon had to reveal that every night he dreamed of a humanoid monster with wings and a tail, and Sharon called the monster "Night Demon". Cheyenne asked Sharon how she knew the monster was called the Night Demon, but Sharon kept silent. He only told Cheyenne about his nightmare at Cheyenne's repeated requests.

Ran Sinian thought to himself that there was a night demon in Greek mythology, also known as the Dream Demon, a god in charge of dreams, named Morpheus. However, based on Sharon's background and profession, it is presumable that he did not know about this night demon from Greek mythology, and it is very likely that this is just a term he coined, or where he heard about it. In essence, the so-called night demon in the dream is just a demon in the heart of a person.

Sharon's dreams are almost repetitive and identical, with the background of the dream resembling a dark-toned picture of hell, and his whole person runs through the chaos. He was hunted down by a monster with bat-wings, a demon-like barbed tail, a huge body, gray-black, stained with blood, long hair wet wrapped around its naked body, arms and tail waving wildly, sharp nails like animal claws, a terrifying face, and a sharp cry from time to time, which is what Sharon called the monster of the night demon.

Chased by the Night Demon and fleeing into a low-rise bungalow, Sharon thought he had found shelter, but was disappointed to find that the walls of the house were actually papier-mΓ’chΓ© and had no roof at all. Sharon huddled in the corner of the paper house, tired of the endless escapes, sat and waited to die.

As expected, the night demon flapped its wings and flew above the paper house, and with a wave of its wings, it easily scraped the paper house. His hands and tail whipped on Sharon's body, tearing his clothes into strips and flying away with the wind, leaving only a naked, naked, scarred and severely injured, even deep in the bones.

Under this torture-like whipping, Sharon gritted his teeth and did not say a word, bearing it motionless. Immediately after, the night demon's sharp nails pierced Sharon's eyes directly, ripping out Sharon's eyeballs and crushing them under his feet. Sharon still has no intention of continuing to escape, and continues to bear it as if he is passively waiting for death. The Daredevil still refused to let Sharon go, and it cut off Sharlon's tongue and pierced Sharon's eardrum, and then refused to give up.

The Daredevil was finally satisfied, leaving Sharon naked, blind and deaf, with blood dripping from his mouth, and continued to walk. He has no destination, he just walks blindly. He could feel the strange stares of the people around him, laughing at his nakedness, but he was at ease, because he couldn't see or hear anyway.

Ran Sinian listened quietly and quietly. Until Xia An'an finished speaking in a trembling and crying voice, Pei Jian was already trembling slightly because of his rich imagination, Rao Peier had already wrapped her arms tightly around her, and Ran Sinian was still as ordinary as listening to a news broadcast.

"This is indeed a nightmare, and the pain in the dream may indeed lead to the onset of heart disease," Ran Sinian sighed and said helplessly, "but I'm sorry, I can't give you the answer you want based on this dream alone, that is, I can't give the identity of a murderer." There are only a few things in the dream, namely Sharon himself, the night demon, and the paper house, and these things correspond, I think, there should be no murderer. ”

As soon as Pei Jian heard Ran Sinian's words, he immediately showed a displeased look and asked in a low voice: "Then the deposit of one thousand ......?"

Xia An'an interrupted Pei Jian, still hopefully saying to Ran Sinian, "So what does this dream mean?" It can't be meaningless, right? As long as you have a little clue, it's fine. ”

"There are indeed clues, so I'll tell you a few pieces of information I got from this dream," Ran Sinian took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly, "First of all, the night demon is a woman, and this point, from what you just relayed, your father's description of the night demon, you can see that the night demon has long nails, long hair, and will also make a sharp scream, and it is with a heavy resentment, wanting to vent this resentment on Xia Long. ”

Pei Jian interrupted Ran Sinian, a little cowardly and a little disdainful: "Mr. Ran, with long nails and long hair, and a sharp voice, he said that he was a woman, which is too unreliable, right?" ”

Ran Sinian raised his eyebrows and shot back coldly: "If you want to be reliable, you shouldn't come to me, in the eyes of some people, or most people, dream interpretation is unreliable." In other words, I don't have the score you want here. ”

Xia An'an glanced at Pei Jian, signaling him not to talk too much and continue to listen to Ran Sinian's interpretation of his dreams.

"Mr. Ran, don't mind Xiaojian's words, I believe you, please continue."

Ran Sinian could see that Cheyenne was full of expectations and trusted herself, so she went on to explain, "Therefore, your father's death, or the nightmare that led to his sudden death, is definitely related to a woman, and it is closely related. When this woman arrived in his dream, she transformed into the so-called night demon, the source of his pain. Secondly, the Daredevil has another key feature, which is that its long hair is wet and wrapped around the naked body, and it is stained with blood, and its whole body is grayish-black. Miss Xia, I would like to ask, is your father's exact words indeed that the skin of the whole body is gray-black, and the long hair is wet and wrapped around the naked body? ”

"Yes, that's what he said." Xia An'an replied very solemnly.

"Okay, since you're sure your father said so, let's assume that the night demon in the dream is naked. As I said earlier, the night demon in the dream represents a woman in reality, a naked woman, how can her skin turn gray and black? Most likely, it was because the body was shrouded in night. What can you think of when a woman is naked and wet at night, causing her long hair to stick to her body, and she is covered with blood and screams? Ran Sinian followed the temptation, and his eyes scanned back and forth at the two women and a man in the living room.

Rao Pei'er's face turned red first, and she pursed her lips and didn't speak. Xia An'an also suddenly realized, and stammered: "Could it be, is it, yes, that thing?" ”

Ran Sinian nodded and shook his head, "It's not just that, I think, it's rape, because there are screams and blood." ”

Xia An'an stared at her frightened eyes and was speechless for a while.

"Don't worry, the rapist is not your father, otherwise the Daredevil will not only take away his eyes, tongue and ears, but at the very least, his hands." Ran Sinian said confidently.

There was silence in the living room for a moment, and Ran Sinian was silent, as if leaving time for Xia An to absorb and think about what he had just said. After a few minutes, Ran Sinian broke the silence and spoke again, "Next, about your father, first of all, I must emphasize Freud's theory, which I agree with, that is, dreams are the fulfillment of desires by the dreamer's subconscious. So in his dreams, your father was tired of constantly running away, and was willing to hide in a paper house and wait for the night demon to come to the door, so it can be said that he himself wanted to face the night demon and accept the night demon's punishment and torture. ”
