Time goes back to last night.

"Lawyer Chen, are you really dead?"

In the room on the second floor, Qin Manjiang looked at the corpse that had changed his face beyond his face and asked in a low voice.

His gaze quickly swept over the mist beneath his feet.

This fog is dissipating.

Why is there fog in the room where people died, and is it the embodiment of a ghost?

Still is...... Anything else?

His fingertips subconsciously tapped on the edge of the bed, seeing that the fog had dissipated, at this time, Qin Manjiang stood up and was about to leave, but he heard a man's voice behind him:

"She's not dead."

Qin Manjiang turned his head, and Yan Xiao, a tall doctor, was leaning against the door.

"You don't seem surprised that I'm here?" Yan Xiao saw Qin Manjiang's calm expression and asked with some curiosity.

"I was surprised," Qin Manjiang admitted, "but I couldn't make my expression." ”

This ghost statement made Yan Xiao think that Qin Manjiang was perfunctory to him, so he didn't ask any more.

In fact, Qin Manjiang was telling the truth.

After learning the news from Zhong Xueran that there was something wrong with the doctor's head, Qin Manjiang also thought that the doctor was crazy when that situation happened just now, but he didn't expect that all Yan Xiao's actions just now were mostly performances.

"How do you know she's not dead?" Qin Manjiang asked.

The doctor's expression was calmer, just looking at the corpse: "She has drawn a snake." ”

"My scalpel can be used not only on the living, but also on those who have recently died, but only a few people know about it."

Yan Xiao walked to the window and looked carefully at the window glass and the surroundings: "Chen Yu is one of them, I have acted with her. ”

"Look at this corpse." He looked at the corpse condescendingly, "The face and abdomen were gnawed, but the heart was cut open by me with a scalpel, and she was worried that leaving a corpse with a heart would expose the deceased It was not her secret, so she simply prepared a corpse without a heart." ”

"It's stupid." Qin Manjiang couldn't help but say.

Yan Xiao nodded, he looked at Qin Manjiang: "What do you think?" ”

Qin Manjiang pondered for a moment and said, "I have a guess, but I haven't found any evidence to support it at the moment. ”

"Oh?" Yan Xiao looked at him seriously, "I also have a guess." ”

"Dreams?"

"Dreams."

The two of them said in unison, one after the other.

"Zhong Xueran let me talk to you and say that you don't look like a new player at all," Yan Xiao stood next to Qin Manjiang, "She was right. ”

Qin Manjiang was also a little surprised, he originally thought that only he could think of this outrageous guess.

"Why do you think that?"

Yan Xiao didn't answer, but suddenly asked, "Do you remember what color the ground on the streets of the town is?" ”

Qin Manjiang's memory is quite excellent, which is also one of the very few characteristics of a standard adult male.

But this time, no matter what he thought, he couldn't even remember the color of the street.

"One of the characteristics of dreams is that we are unable to remember the details of the dream, or even the dream itself." Yan Xiao said.

"I have a habit of finding directions, especially when I go to an unfamiliar place." Yan Xiao walked to the window and looked at the night outside, "I went to the island with you, I was remembering the road into the town all the way, even if there was fog, I should remember the general appearance, but I didn't remember." ”

"Then, it's chicken soup." Yan Xiao said.

Qin Manjiang also nodded: "Abnormal, illogical behavior and cognition are normal and imperceptible in dreams, but they seem strange to us outsiders. ”

"Well," Yan Xiao said, "So, why did Chen Yu fake his death and get out?" What did she see in the mirror? ”

Qin Manjiang also walked slowly to his side and looked out the window: "Let's base everything on the cognition that this is a dream, and then think about it." ”

Yan Xiao nodded: "Makes sense." ”

"If this is indeed a dream, why would Chen Yu do it?" Yan Xiao said in a low voice.

Yes, the most critical question is that if Chen Yu is not dead, then why did she do it?

If she wants to make a hindrance and assassinate everyone, she can completely bear it, and when she suddenly attacks at a critical time, the effect is far stronger than faking death to get out.

It just doesn't make sense.

Unless...... What reason did she have to do it.

"In some mystery crime novels, the murderer of a serial murder usually has a modus operandi, disguising himself as one of the victims, so as to get out of everyone's vision and suspicion and carry out better crimes." Qin Manjiang looked at the night and said suddenly.

Yan Xiao was moved by what he said.

Without waiting for him to think carefully, he heard Qin Manjiang continue to ask, "I want to know...... What does it feel like to dream? ”

"Huh?" Yan Xiao didn't react, he suddenly asked the reason for this question.

But out of Qin Manjiang's calmness and sharpness just now, he still replied: "The emotions of dreams are very strong, usually anxiety, fear, and surprise. There is no logic in dreams, there is no order. The dreamer does not perceive the abnormalities in the dream during the dream, and the dream rationalizes everything. The dream is very vague, I can only remember the approximately, I can't remember the details......"

"Wait," Qin Manjiang interrupted Yan Xiao's words, he turned his head sideways and stared at Yan Xiao's dark eyes, "Have you ever dreamed of yourself?" ”

His question made Yan Xiao's mind flash!

"You're right...... In dreams, the dreamer never sees his face. ”

Yan Xiao and Qin Manjiang turned around at the same time and looked at the unrecognizable corpse on the bed.

If this is a dream of a ghost, then in this dream, the ghost itself has no substance, because it cannot dream of itself.

Its perspective can only choose a certain person who appears in the dream.

"She was chosen by the ghost and became the eye of the ghost, observing us in her dreams, and her life path is different from ours." Yan Xiao said.

He suddenly thought of the former chief who died in this strange tale, the ...... Could it be that he was also chosen by the ghost?

"But why did she die?" Although Qin Manjiang was asking, there was no doubt in his tone.

Yan Xiao glanced at him and understood his thoughts.

If ghosts have no entity, there is little they can do.

But...... Now I know that the perspective of the ghost is on Chen Yu, and Chen Yu is equivalent to the substitute of the ghost in the dream.

But Chen Yu still chose to fake his death and get out, and did not stay with them because he was chosen by the ghost to secretly make trouble.

Extrapolating the cause from the result, there is only one reason -

Chen Yu, or the ghost, felt that it was more risky to stay with the player.

So...... The way to counter that ghost is on Chen Yu.

"We need a way to lure her out." Qin Manjiang said.

Yan Xiao pondered for a moment, and after thinking of the scene just now, he said, "Fog." ”

Qin Manjiang nodded, although he didn't know what those fogs were at the moment, but if it could appear in the room, it showed that it had something to do with the powerful ghosts, or Chen Yu.

Perhaps, being in the fog can make Chen Yu feel more secure.

"Tomorrow I'll be alone in the fog." Qin Manjiang said.

Yan Xiao looked at him: "I will follow you, but not too close." ”

"Hmm." Qin Manjiang didn't think this risk was anything, after all, this was a strange world.

"You take this finger." Yan Xiao took out a bloody finger from his pocket.

"As for gifts, forget it." Qin Manjiang quickly refused.

"It's a mark." Yan Xiao looked at him.

"Huh?"

"I can sense the exact location of what I cut with this knife." Yan Xiao explained, "If the fog is too thick, you can only use it to determine your location. ”

“……”

Qin Manjiang's hand stretched out and shrunk, and after hesitating for a while, he still put his fingers in his pocket.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."
