Chapter 4 Bright and Bright
Bright shuddered.
She slowly walked over to the computer and looked at the stored brain image recordings.
After she lay on the bed last night, she has been imagining the strange man**, the picture is upside down and messy. It's early in the morning, the air is fresh, the nose is the most sensitive, bright at this time there is no sexy state, seeing such a picture, I feel very dirty and ashamed.
She skipped this scene and entered the midnight period, the picture was blurry, reproducing her dream, first fighting the man in the gladiatorial arena, and then **, surrounded by shadows and many people whistling.
In the end, she finally saw that the man on her body was Brother Han......
The picture suddenly became clear.
Bright saw the moonlight shining in through the window, and it was a little bleak. Then she slowly sat up, got out of bed, looked at the tooth jar on the table, and walked out slowly......
Bright suddenly realized: she was sleepwalking!
Normally, her brain activity is shown in the picture, for example, when she sees a locked door, she thinks if there is a person standing outside the door. At this time, the corridor outside the door will appear on the screen, and a figure will be attached to the door panel closely, waiting for her to open the door......
However, there is no brain activity in the picture in front of me, just a calm visual world, reaching out to open the door, and there is a dark stairway outside, followed by a dark staircase......
Bright is sure she's sleepwalking! And she also learned a common sense that sleepwalkers are just moving their bodies and don't have any mind......
She stared at the screen and saw the corridor in the moonlight. She walked slowly until she came to the 24-hour convenience store at the entrance of the hospital. In the picture, the owner of the convenience store appeared, he was watching TV, and when he saw Mingliang walking in, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Doctor Ming, you haven't rested so late?" β
Mingliang said, "I'll buy a tube of toothpaste." β
She listened to her own voice from the computer, slightly hoarse.
The boss seemed to sense that something was wrong with her, looked at her a few times, and then said, "What brand?" β
Bright said, "The blue one." β
The boss brought her a tube of toothpaste in a blue package.
She paid and turned away.
She slowly returned to the outpatient building, and when she reached the second floor, she stopped and looked at the end of the corridor for a while, the light was still on, like a scene from a horror movie. Finally she continued her way upstairs.
She went back to the office, put her new toothpaste in the vat, threw the original half-tube of toothpaste in the trash, and lay down in bed again......
Mingliang took his eyes off the computer and walked to the trash can to take a look, and sure enough, there was the half-tube of toothpaste lying inside!
She walked briskly out of the room, ran downstairs, and stormed the convenience store. The boss was unloading, he glanced at Mingming, wanted to say something but stopped, and continued to carry mineral water.
Mingliang said, "Boss, did you sell me a tube of toothpaste last night?" β
The boss said, "What's wrong?" β
Mingliang said, "Isn't it! β
The boss said, "yes." β
Mingliang let out a low "oh", turned around and left.
The convenience store owner was holding a heavy box of water and kept looking at her from behind.
Bright returned to the exam room and locked the door.
If she hadn't been wearing electrodes, she would never have known she was sleepwalking.
However, there was one question that frightened her - why was the crocodile's hallucinations so similar to her sleepwalking? Or rather, why did her sleepwalking experience appear in advance in the hallucinations of the little crocodile?
Because she couldn't figure it out, she felt panicked and even out of breath. A sense of despair crept from her feet to the top of her head, and she inexplicably thought that she should buy some fast-acting heart pills and keep them by her side, ready to take them at any time.
Suddenly, she figured it out - perhaps, it all stemmed from the illusion of the crocodile. She watched the crocodile every day, causing those horrible hallucinations to be engraved into her brain, and then she pretended to be the "bright" ...... in sleepwalking
Thinking about it again, things won't be so simple, perhaps, she is often in a state of sleepwalking, but she doesn't know it; Perhaps, she really often follows behind the crocodile and does some unbelievable things - such as bringing her Coke, baseball bats, and bed sheets...... Although she hid deeply, she was still detected by the incomparably developed sick nerve of the little crocodile......
Still no, in this case, a lot of details don't make sense, like, how could she possibly get into her camera? When the crocodile was taking pictures under the wall of the power distribution room, she was monitoring the brain image of the crocodile in front of the computer, and it was definitely not near the power distribution room......
She thought that she might have been sleepwalking at the time, that she had actually gone to the power distribution room, and that staying in front of the computer was just some kind of hallucination......
Bright felt like he was going crazy.
She reopened the recording of the image of the crocodile's brain, and saw herself in the camera again, with her hands behind her back and her right leg standing in front of her left leg, quietly watching the camera...... A deep terror pierced her body like a strong electric current.
That night, Bright went home.
Now she didn't dare to take off the hat on her head. She doesn't know what will happen next, and only through this hat will she know what she has done.
After driving into the city, it occurred to her that she had always thought that she was a doctor in a mental hospital, could that be an illusion? Actually, she was a patient at Flynn Hospital......
Mingliang quickly dismissed this hypothesis, believing that she was awake.
Could it be that the hospital did some experiments on her? She is a rare excellent doctor in the hospital, and she has not been transferred several times in the province. There is no way the hospital could choose what experiments she did. Besides, she also took the lead in conducting experiments.
That's someone harming her.
One patient she treated? Over the years, she has treated countless patients, all kinds of bizarre conditions, and she has also used more violent methods to treat some violent patients...... Is there a patient who has the impression of her in his brain after being discharged from the hospital, treats her as a demon, and then starts to harm her after careful planning?
Bright changed her mind and she decided not to go home. If someone wants to harm her, they must know where her family lives. On a whim, she should go to the hotel tonight.
When she was looking for a hotel, she passed by a piano shop with a variety of wind, string, and percussion instruments in the window...... An indescribable emotion suddenly welled up in her heart. She slowed down the car, parked on the side of the road, and stared at a violin, as if she had seen a long-lost relative. She's a doctor, how can she feel this way when she sees a violin? She couldn't tell, but this distant and vague intimacy brought her into a strange kind of fear. She struggled to figure out why. A picture popped up in her mind: when she was young, she followed her parents to the mall to buy something, and just in time for an event in the mall, there was a girl in a white gauze dress playing the violin. She was very envious and told her parents that she wanted to learn the violin. Her parents bought it for her, and she was very happy and pulled ...... every day
When did you start not pulling? She couldn't remember.
If she hadn't seen this violin today, she would have forgotten that memory.
Her phone rang, and when she opened it, it was a text message from Brother Han: Are you free tonight? I invite you to eat in "one place".
"One and only" is the most upscale hotel in Chengzhou. If men and women want to attract each other, they must show their strengths like peacocks opening the screen, women show off their poses, and men show off their wealth.
Bright thought to himself: This set is only effective in seducing little girls.
She replied: Unfortunately, I have an appointment tonight, and I invite someone to dinner, and I am also in a "unique place".
Brother Han replied: It's okay, I'll go to the appointment myself. I hope you don't book a private room, we all sit in the hall, and we will have dinner together.
Mingliang ignored him again.
She started the car, left the piano shop, and continued to look for a hotel.
In front of it, there was a Babao Hotel. That's it.
Mingliang just slowed down, and immediately thought that if she stayed in the Babao Hotel, then she was really repeating the illusion of the little crocodile. Can't stay here!
She sped away as if she were dodging a plague god, and continued to walk forward, and saw a Haitian Hotel again. The crocodile lived here for the second time!
She didn't understand how she got to this street!
She then drove forward, and at the corner of the T-junction at the end of the street, she saw the glorious "one and only place" of the faΓ§ade.
She turned a corner and left.
Finally, a hotel appeared in front of it, a small yellow building called "11 Days", and Mingliang drove the car in.
After stopping steadily, she didn't rush to get out of the car, leaned back on the backrest, and continued to ponder what happened in the outpatient room.
The toothpaste has been replaced, what will the person behind it do next?
Since Bright is repeating the illusion of the crocodile, does it mean that the last person will come to replace her brain?
In fact, no one replaced the brain for the crocodile, it was her attending doctor who was giving her hypnotherapy. So does it mean that the last person will come to hypnotherapy for Brightness?
In her bright mind, she is the attending physician of the little crocodile. If this is an illusion, then who is the attending physician of Bright?
Thinking about it, Mingming's heart trembledβshe seemed to see that at this moment, another Mingliang doctor was sitting in front of the computer and observing the activity in her brain......
She sat up sharply and straightened, took off the black turban hat from her head, and threw it in the passenger seat. She stared at it for a moment, feeling that it was too close to her head, not knowing if it would catch the message in her brain, and picked it up again, stuffed it into her satchel, and zipped it up.
She got out of the car.
At this time, it was just getting dark, and sweet dreams and nightmares came to the earth at the same time. The reception is brightly lit. A skinny girl in uniform greets her with a smile.
Bright: "Are there any standard rooms?" β
The skinny girl said, "Wait a minute. β
She looked it up on her computer and said, "Yes." Do you want it? β
Bright: "Yes." β
She handed over her ID card and money, and the girl finished registering and handed her a key tag that read: 109.
Mingliang was stunned and said, "Give me another room." β
The skinny girl said, "Is there a problem?" β
Mingliang said: "I want to live on the upper floor." β
The skinny girl said, "Our hotel has only two floors. β
Mingliang said, "Then give me a room on the second floor." β
The skinny girl said, "The second floor is full. β
Mingliang smiled strangely and muttered, "It's fun." β
The thin girl looked at her inquiringly.
Mingliang didn't say anything more, turned around and left the front desk, found room 109, and went in. After closing the door, she looked around, it was similar to other hotels, and importantly, this room had a window.
She placed her brown satchel on the bedside table and lay down.
She needed to be still.
There was the sound of cars driving by outside, and it was a bit noisy. It doesn't matter, she is most afraid of silence at this time.
She was still thinking about the violin. She actually felt that it was a child in her previous life, separated from her life. She still remembers the strings and fingerings of the violin, like she knows where her own child has a mole. She still remembers the pine scent of the bow, like the milky scent of a child who is familiar with herself...... She even had the urge to pick up a violin right away and play a piece of Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major......
She wondered - how did she know about Paganini? Moreover, she was only obsessed with the violin when she was a child, how could she play such a difficult tune?
She wondered again - how did she know that the Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major was very difficult? Maybe when did you read its introduction in a book?
Her brain was completely messed up.
She stood up, opened the curtains and looked out, it was completely dark, there were far fewer cars, and a middle-aged man in big shorts limped past. As he walked by, he suddenly glanced back at the bright window, and Bright instinctively closed the curtains. Who is he? Why did he look out the window?
There was movement outside the door, as if a button had lightly touched the door panel.
Bright turned his head sharply to look over.
The door panels are quiet.
The things in the illusion of the crocodile are repeating themselves! It spreads like a malignant tumor, and no one can stop it.
Bright took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the door. There was a carpet on the floor, and she walked without a sound. She came to the door, looked out through the cat's eyes, and sure enough, she saw a person, it was a woman, she had her back to the bright, and she was gently opening the door on the other side.
Mingming's eyes widened - the door number on the opposite door also said 109!
Bright stared at the back.
Who is she? Crocodile? Apparently not, looking at the back, she is a middle-aged woman. The most disturbing thing about Mingliang is that this middle-aged woman is wearing exactly the same clothes as Mingming, and she also wears a black headscarf hat!
Bright waited eagerly for the other to turn around, and she wanted to see her face. However, she kept her back to the bright. The door opened, and she was going in......
Bright Bright had an idea, and kicked the door violently, with a "bang", very loud.
It's so quiet in the hotel that anyone who hears this will instinctively look back. However, the woman was very strange, she seemed to be deaf, she did not look back at all, she walked into the door normally, and then turned the door shut.
Bright stared at the door for a few minutes, and the door remained silent. Bright suspicion that the other party is also looking at her door in the cat's eye.
Finally, Mingliang couldn't hold it anymore, and she was going to the front desk to ask. She opened the door softly, crept to the opposite door, and pricked up her ears at the door to listen, but there was no sound. She walked briskly to the front desk.
The thin girl was gone, and it is estimated that she got off work and was replaced by a slightly chubby girl, still smiling.
Mingliang gasped and asked, "There are two 109s in your hotel?" β
The fat girl said, "You said the room number?" β
Mingliang said, "Of course, it's the room number." β
The fat girl said, "No, it's only a 109." β
Bright was a little angry: "You go and see!" I'm also 109 on the door! β
The fat girl said, "I'll look at your key plate." β
Bright handed her the keycard. She looked at it, gave it back, and said with a smile: "Of course you are 109 ...... to the door"
Mingliang was stunned: "I live in 109, how can my opposite door also be 109?" I don't understand. β
The fat girl said, "You're mistaken, your room is 108." β
Mingliang smiled disdainfully: "My room is 108? That's, isn't it? β
As she spoke, she held up the keycard, which clearly read 109.
The fat girl explained, "Look, this key card is too old, and the lower left corner of the figure 8 is a little worn......"
Bright looked at it carefully, and it was a 9.
She stared at the fat girl for a moment and said, "Even if this word is worn, why does I have 109 written on my door?" β
The fat girl said, "Well, sorry, that house number is also a little worn......"
Mingliang wanted to laugh but couldn't: "Don't you think this thing is like a novel?" And it's a botched novel! β
The fat girl smiled helplessly: "It's really like this." β
Mingliang didn't say anything more, turned around and walked back to the room, thinking as she went, why did these people lie to her?
Even if the key plate and the figure 8 on the door are missing, and 109 is really written on the door, why did she open room 108?
No, she'll have to go back and ask.
Mingliang returned to the front desk again, there was a person who was checking in, it was a pot-bellied man, it was very troublesome, holding a card from a few years ago had to be discounted, the fat girl said, now the hotel has changed owners, this card has long been invalidated, he does not give up, accusing the hotel of deceiving customers......
Mingliang waited for more than ten minutes, until the pot-bellied man finished the formalities and went to find the room with a grunt, and then she spoke: "Miss, can I ask, who lives in room 109?" β
The fat girl said, "I'm sorry, we can't reveal this." β
Mingliang said: "Then let me tell you, I lost my ID card." β
The fat girl was stunned: "Where did you lose it?" β
Mingliang said: "An hour ago, I used it when I checked into your hotel, of course I lost it here from you." β
The fat girl looked down and said, "I don't have one here." Why don't you go back to your room and take a look? β
Mingliang said, "I suspect someone picked it up and used it to register a room with you." β
The fat girl thought for a moment and said, "Tell me the number." β
Mingliang reported his ID number. The fat girl checked on the computer, her eyes widened a little, she looked up at Mingming, and asked, "Your name is Li Mingming?" β
The bright heart raised the throat eyes: "yes, what's wrong?" β
The fat girl said: "Rooms 108 and 109 are both registered with this ID card......"
Hearing this, the bright heart beat wildly. In fact, her ID card was in her pocket, she just wanted to test it, but she didn't expect that everything was the same as she guessed - the woman who lived in the opposite door was not only the same clothes she was wearing, but also had the same name and ID number!
That's right, another one of her appeared! She and Bright are inseparable, and now she lives in the Bright Opposite Door!
The fat girl said, "Look, what else have you lost?" β
Bright took out the phone and pressed it in a hurry.
The fat girl asked, "Who are you calling?" β
Mingliang said, "I'll call the police." β
The fat girl suddenly said, "I don't think it's wise." β
Bright stopped and looked at her: "Why?" β
The fat girl said, "How do you prove that she stole your ID and not that you stole hers?" β
The fat girl's eyes gradually became aggressive.
Bright felt that she was actually threatening herself.
Mingliang said: "Could it be that she and I look the same?" β
The fat girl said: "When she registered with her ID card, since we didn't see that it was two people, it must be very similar." β
The bright brain "swished" - what would the police do with it if they opened room 109 and saw another self?
If the other party does not admit to stealing the bright ID card, they will be taken back to the public security bureau, and if they don't get it right, they will have to test their DNA to determine whether they are separated twins, maybe it is the work mistake of the police station where the household registration is located, and the ID card is heavy...... That's just too much trouble.
In case the police search the body and find that the bright ID card is not lost, it is a case of forgery, which is illegal.
Two women look the same and hold the same ID card, this kind of strange thing will not happen in a hundred years, and it will definitely be reported by the media...... That's even more troublesome.
After all, the two of them will leave the Public Security Bureau together. After coming to the street, the two bright you look at me, I look at you, she doesn't know what the other party's expression will show, the more she thinks about it, the more afraid she becomes......
Thinking about it, Mingliang really didn't have the courage to face another self.
In the end, she decided to hide.
She said to the fat girl, "Lose it, it's okay, thank you." β
Then, she hurried back to her room. She was going to pack up her things and leave the place immediately.
When she reached the door of room 109, she slowed down. Room 109 was silent, and there was another self living there, I don't know if it was a human or a ghost, this feeling was too disgusting.
Mingliang stopped at the door of room 109 and crouched down to prevent the people inside from looking out through the cat's eyes. She pricked up her ears to listen.
There seemed to be no one in the room, no sound of TV, no sound of talking, no sound of showering, no sound of walking.
What is that person doing?
I'm either sleeping, or I'm looking out of the cat's eyes. If she's looking out of the cat's eye, the two of them are separated by a layer of door.
Mingliang became nervous, and accidentally scraped a button on the door panel, and in the quiet corridor, a clear voice sounded: "Bang la......"
Worried that the door would suddenly be pulled open, she quickly stood up, crept to the door of her room, took out the key, and only pointed it at the keyhole several times to open the door.
She was about to step in, shuddered, and stoppedβthe other self was sitting on the couch in her room, looking at her steadily.
