Chapter 8: October 25, 12 midnight

Downstairs, Brother Han ran into the car quickly, turned on the four overhead lights, and the car was on.

He put the wad of paper on his lap and dialed the bright phone: "Bright, you know what?" There may be people who want to harm you, and this person has to take advantage of your fear to achieve the goal, so you can't avoid it, let alone be afraid, you have to go back to your fear and then overcome it. ”

Mingliang said, "Who wants to harm me? ”

Brother Han said: "A very weak person. ”

Mingliang said, "Why did he harm me? ”

Brother Han said: "Don't ask, I'll tell you when I find out." Now, if you tell me your hallucinations again, it's a horror story. ”

Mingliang said: "Brother Han, I don't want to mention it anymore, I'm really tired." ”

Brother Han said, "I want to determine who is the one who harmed you!" ”

Mingliang was silent for a while, and finally spoke slowly: she observed the brain of the crocodile through the computer every day, and later, she found that a bottle of Coke and a baseball bat appeared inexplicably in her life, and then, her daily necessities were replaced one after another......

Han Ge compared the outline of the story on the paper and found that the bright illusion was almost exactly the same as the idea on the paper.

There is only one difference:

In a bright hallucination, when she used hypnotism for the crocodile, the crocodile suddenly squeezed out a word from between her teeth: "1." ”

Bright said tentatively: "Yes, 1 is over 2." ”

Still with his eyes closed, the crocodile said again: "1." ”

Bright said, "What do you want to say?" ”

The crocodile said, "1. ”

Bright stared at her eyelids and asked, "And then?" ”

The crocodile said, "1. ”

Mingliang thought for a moment and said, "You say 2." ”

The crocodile stopped talking......

However, the synopsis of the story reads:

Hou Xianzan brought back the crocodile.

Bright used hypnotism on her.

There was dead silence in the outpatient building.

Bright begins to heal – there is a fog in the sky...... There was a fog on the ground...... There was a fog of white flowers everywhere...... You can't see me clearly...... I can't see you clearly...... We're all white rabbits...... The big rabbit died...... Ten rabbits died...... Ten rabbits are actually big rabbits......

The crocodile's consciousness gradually blurred.

Bright: the sky is above, the earth is below. The green is the grass, and the red is the flower. Chengzhou is a city, and your family lives in the middle of the city......

The crocodile suddenly squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "1." ”

In hypnosis, as long as the caster does not ask questions, the recipient will never open his mouth.

Bright said tentatively: "Yes, 1 is over 2." ”

The little crocodile still closed his eyes and said, "0." ”

Mingliang was stunned: "What do you want to say?" ”

The crocodile said, "2." ”

Mingliang said: "By the way, 1 is finished and 2." ”

The crocodile said, "5. ”

1 is finished is 2, but the crocodile thinks backwards and says "0". Then, with a bright hint, she changed around and said "2". These are normal. However, in the end, she popped up with a "5", and suddenly it became irregular.

During the whole treatment process, the crocodile only said the four numbers "1", "0", "2", and "5", and then she didn't say a word no matter what Mingliang asked.

Brother Han was also confused.

Why are the bright illusions and story outlines so out of the ordinary?

Looking at these numbers in reality, 1111 in the bright hallucination can be understood as November 11, which is the day he and Mingliang were married. And 1025 can be understood as October 25th, which is today, the day of the sudden onset of the bright ......

Next, Bright Bright talked about the thirty-first chapter of the story outline-

She returned to Flynn Hospital, where the crocodile was taken away by Dr. Hou Xianzan. After dark, she went to inspect the ward, and Ji Zhimo told her that it would be over at 12 midnight on October 25. After Mingliang walked out of the inpatient department, he met a mentally ill old man, and he ran all the way, as if to tell Mingliang a secret: it would be over at 12 midnight on October 25th. Then, Mingliang saw in the computer that Dr. Hou Xianzan was standing in front of her black-and-white photo, and said the same sentence in a hoarse voice: Mingming, it will be over at 12 midnight on October 25......

Brightness stopped.

Brother Han asked, "No?" ”

Mingliang said, "No, and then I found me lying on the bed at home, and then I called you." ”

Brother Han looked at the outline of the story, and there were three subheadings: Chapter 31, 12 midnight on October 25. Chapter 32, Bright is completely insane. Chapter 33, the wedding of Brother Han and the crocodile.

The conspiracy is not over yet!

The crocodile is undoubtedly iron-hearted, and he must make the bright one crazy.

Why did she do that?

Obviously, for Brother Han.

For this perverted girl, Bright is not her mother, but her rival in love. She thought that then she would get Hange's love as she wished.

She choreographed such a long horror story that she didn't know how to put it into her bright brain and let her spend a day experiencing it. In the face of this high-intensity fright, Bright survived, at least now Bright Bright's mind is normal. Brother Han guessed that 12 o'clock tonight was a critical moment, and the crocodile was likely to control her bright brain again and create an even more terrifying plot for her.

Brother Han looked at his watch, and at 11:12, there were still 48 minutes left before that terrifying moment.

He turned off the four lights in the car and said to Mingming, "Mingming, I'm worried that something will happen tonight, I'll stay with you." ”

Mingliang said categorically: "No, the little crocodile is at home, she hasn't been home since she lived in school, and this time she finally came back, but there is an extra man at home who sleeps with her mother, she will be sad!" ”

Brother Han couldn't tell her directly, so he had to say, "It's okay, you move the laptop to your bedroom, and I'll video chat with you, it's always okay, right?" ”

Mingliang said: "You go back and rest, it's too much of a toss today." ”

Brother Han said, "At least I'm going to be with you tonight." ”

Mingliang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you wait." ”

Then, she walked out of the bedroom and went to get the computer.

Brother Han took the iPad over, closed the dialog box of the crocodile, and opened the bright dialog box.

In the picture, a bright bedroom appears, and she dims the lights.

Brother Han said, "You put the computer on the dresser and face you. ”

Bright did so.

Brother Han said, "Bright, I love you, you know? ”

Mingliang said, "What's wrong with you today?" Say such stupid things! ”

Brother Han said: "I want to say. ”

Mingliang smiled: "Then you can say it!" Actually, I like to listen to it. ”

"In the past 40 years, I have met many people, but for some reason, they have never entered into marriage. Later I knew, God willed, let me wait for you. ”

Mingliang said: "I didn't know you were waiting for me, otherwise I would have come early, and I made a detour." Actually, I shouldn't have said that, if you don't go around that bend, there will be no crocodile...... Parents always can't see the problems in their children, I often reflect on whether I also have this problem, you say, is the crocodile too willful? ”

Brother Han said: "Let's not talk about the crocodile today, okay?" ”

Mingliang said, "Hmm. But don't forget, tomorrow we're going to make up for her birthday cake. ”

Brother Han said: "If someone hides in the shadows and calculates you because they love me, are you afraid?" ”

Mingliang said: "If it was your wife, I would be ashamed, I would avoid her, and she would avoid you." If it weren't for your wife, I wouldn't be afraid, because I know you love me. ”

Brother Han said, "Yes, I love you! You don't have to be afraid of anything, I will always be there for you. ”

Mingliang said, "Why are you saying this to me? Do you know who's hurting me? ”

Brother Han said, "It's just chatting." You sleep. ”

Mingliang looked at the time on the computer and said, "Ah, it's so late. ”

Brother Han said: "Hang up the phone, don't turn off the video, you lie on the bed, close your eyes, I look at you." ”

Mingliang changed his pajamas and lay down on the bed, saying, "You will sleep when I sleep, okay?" ”

Brother Han said, "Okay, good night." ”

Bright said: "Good dreams. ”

Good dreams - Brother Han didn't expect that this was the last sentence that Mingliang left him in the normal world.

The two men hung up the phone.

Brother Han looked at his watch again, and it was 11:32, 28 minutes before that terrifying moment.

He kept staring at the brightness in the video, and her demeanor was very serene, so beautiful. If you get close to her, you will smell her fragrance. Bright never uses too strong perfumes, only light ones, and she said that any smell that is too strong is rude. How light is the perfume she uses? Only those who have been grinding with her ears and temples can smell it.

Hange's ears never let their guard down, listening closely to the sounds outside the bedroom. He felt that the crocodile with flowers was about to appear.

The room was very quiet.

Time passed minute by minute, Han Ge had no sleep, he stared at the bright face in the video, and suddenly had an ominous imagination: Will she just fall asleep and never wake up again?

Look at the watch, it's 11:46!

The brightness in the video is motionless.

Suddenly, Brother Han heard something, as if something had fallen in the living room, and there was a "pop". Bright didn't open his eyes.

There are only bright and broken crocodiles in this house, and bright is lying on the bed without moving, there is no doubt that this sound is made by the little crocodile.

What is she doing?

She must have come out of her bedroom, and if the sound was coming from her bedroom, there were two doors through which it would be impossible for Brother Han to hear.

Crocodile is coming?

The camera is focused on the bright bed, and Han Ge can't see the bedroom door.

His heart rose to his throat, tensing every nerve.

Look at the watch, it's 11:49, and there's 11 minutes left.

Someone coughed and quickly covered it with his hand.

Brother Han realizes that this is not the voice in the video, but the voice next to him! He took his eyes off the video and looked out of the car.

It was dark outside, only the street lights were faintly on.

The roads were empty, and there was no one.

He pressed the window of the car and continued to search, his whole body shuddering - there was a man standing in the bushes! No, it's just a face, not a body!

As mentioned earlier, Brother Han is afraid of ghosts, and when he sleeps at home, he turns on the overhead lights every night, but now it is dark in his car. He was already scared, and when he saw that face, he almost fainted with fright. He stared at the man for a while, and finally saw clearly, the man was wearing a dark green shirt and dark green trousers, almost exactly the same color as the leaves, and he couldn't tell that there was a person standing there without looking closely.

The man was facing the building of the bright house, as if casting a spell. He stands in a strange position, with the golden rooster standing on his own, one leg supporting his body, slightly bent, and the other leg lifted up, suspended in mid-air. His hands were raised above his head and put together.

Who is he?

What was he doing in the middle of the night?

Brother Han gritted his teeth, pulled the car door, jumped out with a "poof", and came to this person in a few steps. If the other party is really a ghost, Brother Han will definitely fight with it.

The man was in his fifties and tall in stature.

The sound of Brother Han's footsteps did not disturb him, and he still maintained the posture he had just had.

Brother Han asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?" ”

The man closed his eyes and said, "Practice." ”

Brother Han asked, "Are you from this community?" ”

The man said, "At this moment, I belong to the whole heaven and earth. ”

Brother Han asked, "Why are you wearing a camouflage uniform?" ”

The man said, "To be one with nature." ”

After thinking about it, Brother Han suddenly asked, "What is your surname?" ”

The man said, "My surname is Hou." ”

Brother Han was stunned: "Your name is ...... Hou Xianzan? ”

The other party was obviously disturbed by Brother Han, he frowned and opened his eyes: "Who are you?" ”

Brother Han's heart beat wildly: "Tell me, are you Hou Xianzan?" ”

The other party said: "I am Hou Xianzan." ”

Brother Han suddenly rushed up and threw the other party to a stumble, his other leg finally hit the ground, and he quickly grabbed the tree next to him: "What are you doing?" ”

Brother Han approached his face: "You are a doctor in a mental hospital?" ”

The man was furious: "I'm a retired bridge engineer!" ”

Brother Han was stunned.

The man refused: "Are you sick?" ”

Brother Han said, "Do you know Mingming? ”

The man said, "I don't know! Hurry up, or I'll call the security guard!" ”

Brother Han hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person......" and rushed to his car as he said.

The man muttered behind his back: "Psychotic! Then he left the bushes and went home. His house is in the same building as Mingming's house.

Brother Han quickly returned to the car and looked at his watch, 11:54.

He kept his eyes on the video. Bright still retains its original position.

I don't see the crocodile of the broken flower.

Time flies too slowly.

A security guard walked over, he passed by Brother Han's car, leaned on the window to look, saw the glowing iPad, and quickly turned around and walked away.

11:55 a.m.

A street lamp flickered and went out. Luckily, the rest of the street lights are on.

11:56 a.m.

A man and a woman walked over and kissed each other in front of Brother Han's car.

11:57 a.m.

The man and woman separated, and the woman walked into the building of Mingming's house, and the man watched her.

11:58 a.m.

The man turned and left.

11:59 a.m.

Suddenly, the street lamp that had been extinguished came back on......

These Han brothers didn't see it, and his eyes kept staring at the video.

The time on the iPad suddenly became 00:00!

There is a knock on the door in the video - "Dang, dang, dang." ”

Brother Han shuddered.

Yes, someone is knocking on the bright bedroom door!

I opened my eyes as soon as I was bright.

The man continued to knock on the door, very lightly, very lightly: "Dang, dang, dang." ”

Bright asked, "Little crocodile?" ”

In the video, the voice of the crocodile with broken flowers came: "It's me." ”

Mingliang sat up and said, "Come in." ”

Brother Han heard the bedroom door open. He held his breath and was ready to rush upstairs.

Mingliang squinted his eyes and said, "Little crocodile, why don't you sleep yet?" What time is it? ”

Brother Han couldn't see the person with the little crocodile, he could only hear her voice: "It's 12 o'clock." ”

Mingliang said, "I'm fine, you can sleep." ”

The crocodile didn't speak.

Brother Han saw her suddenly appear in front of the video and stared at Brother Han.

Brother Han also stared at her. She was wearing a red pajamas.

Finally, she turned around and turned her face towards the bright.

Now, Brother Han can only see her back, not the brightness.

Why didn't they speak?

Brother Han stared at the back of the little crocodile, suspecting that he was suddenly deaf. Twisting his body, he clearly heard the rubbing of his clothes against his seat.

The floral crocodile just blocked Brother Han's sight, and the video was silent.

Could it be that the video is stuck? Don't get stuck early, don't get stuck late, why just card at this critical moment!

12:08 T!

Suddenly, Brother Han saw the back of the crocodile move, and there was still no sound in the video. She seemed to be saying something to Mingming!

Brother Han shook the iPad vigorously, and suddenly understood: when the floral crocodile came over just now, he turned off the sound of the video!

Finished!

It was 12:12 p.m.

Brother Han grabbed his mobile phone in a panic and called Mingming, but no one answered after ringing for a long time. The crocodile is still tightly blocked in front of the camera.

Brother Han dropped the phone, jumped out of the car, and ran wildly towards Mingming's house.

He rushed to the third floor and slammed the door: "Knock knock! ”

No one gave it to him.

He continued to smash: "Knock knock knock!" ”

Still no one opened it for him.

He shouted: "Broken flower crocodile! ”

There was no sound in the door, like an empty house.

He ran down and looked up at the third floor, where it was impossible to climb up.

Look at the watch, it's already 12:24 by this time!

He had no choice but to return to the car and continue to watch the video, which was still the back of the crocodile.

Brother Han shouted to her: "Broken flower crocodile! What are you doing? Get out of the way! ”

The crocodile could hear him shouting.

She slowly moved away, bent down, and turned on her voice: "Honey, you can watch ......"

The video shows the full view of the bedroom. Mingliang sat on the bed, clutching the pillow in his arms, shaking as if he had been electrified. Her eyes were fixed on the little crocodile, revealing fear, sadness, and despair.

Brother Han looked at the brightness in the video in a daze, and suddenly realized: Brightness is completely finished.

Brother Han's tears flowed down and he said, "Little crocodile, please, open the door for me!" ”

The crocodile said, "Okay, come up." ”

Brother Han got out of the car, didn't even lock the door, and staggered up to the third floor again.

The crocodile had already opened the door.

Brother Han rushed into the bright bedroom in a few steps.

Mingliang was no longer shaking, but he was still clutching the pillow in his arms.

Brother Han put his arm around her shoulders and whispered, "It's okay, Mingming, I'm here." ”

Mingliang shook off his hand and said to the little crocodile: "Good daughter, I know that you love me in your heart, right?" ”

The crocodile leaned against the door frame and watched her quietly, like a director who had given an actor homework and was reviewing the actor's performance.

Mingliang said again: "Mom owes you too much, I will make it up to you with your father, you believe me." ”

Crocodile just listened.

Mingliang continued: "I was waiting for your father, and he will be here in a moment. For so many years, I have never taken the initiative to contact him, this time for you, I want to have a companion with him and give you a complete home! Speaking of this, she pricked up her ears and listened, and then said into the living room, "Old Xing, have you arrived?" ”

For the first time, Brother Han knew that Mingming's dead husband's surname was Xing.

His tears flowed down again, hugged Mingming, and let her lie on the bed: "Mingming, you can sleep for a while!" ”

Mingliang didn't struggle, she lay down with the pillow, still muttering: "It's not the child's fault, it's all the adult's fault, what's the child's fault......"

Brother Han gently stroked her forehead and said no more, and boundless sadness welled up in his heart.

Bright finally quieted down under his caresses and closed his eyes wearily.

It wasn't until she was asleep that Brother Han removed his hand from her forehead, stepped out, and gently closed the door. The crocodile sits on the sofa in the living room. Brother Han looked at her quietly and said word by word, "Tell me, what did you do to your mother?" ”

The little crocodile shrugged: "I told you a long time ago, she is not my mother." ”

Brother Han said: "Okay, well, she is not your mother, I just want to know, what did you do to her!" ”

The crocodile said, "What can I do!" I didn't come home until school, and she was already abnormal at that time, what does it have to do with me! ”

Brother Han said, "What are you doing in her room?" ”

The crocodile said, "She's sick, I'm her daughter, shouldn't I come to see her?" ”

Brother Han said, "Then tell me, what did you say to her when you came in?" ”

"I asked her if she was better, and she suddenly trembled like she had a seizure wind. ”

Brother Han said, "Why did you turn off the sound of the video? ”

The little crocodile said: "Our mother and daughter are talking, why do you listen?" You're my dad? ”

Brother Han said: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, after dawn, I will call the police." ”

The crocodile suddenly laughed: "Call the police? Catch whom? Catch me? What did I do? ”

Brother Han suddenly felt that he couldn't fight this 18-year-old girl!

Brother Han said: "Don't be complacent, little crocodile, I have evidence." ”

The crocodile said, "I'm curious, what evidence do you have?" ”

"Although I don't know what means you used, I know that you were the one who directed all this, and I saw the story you wrote, and all your mother's hallucinations came from that story!" ”

The little crocodile smiled again: "I only saw those pages of stories when I went home this time." You should think differently - she went crazy after reading those few pages of the story. ”

Brother Han was frustrated, and he knew that he had lost again.

He said: "Let's hang this matter up first, now, your mother is really crazy, I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay with her." ”

The little crocodile sneered: "When I was scared, you refused to accompany me, and now that she is scared, you stay with her - is this fair?" I'm telling you, now she's crazy, I'm in charge of this house, I won't let you stay here, please go out. ”

Brother Han said, "What if I don't go out? ”

The little crocodile pouted: "Then I'll call the police, it's very simple!" ”

Brother Han stared at the sinister girl for a while, and squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "You are so ruthless." ”

The little crocodile suddenly became furious and roared: "You are ruthless! You all of you! ”

Brother Han ignored her, turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, he heard a bright voice: "Good daughter, is your father here?" ”

Brother Han's heart ached, and he stepped out.

When he came downstairs, Brother Han looked up and saw that the little crocodile was standing in front of the window looking at him. The pale light was behind her, backlit, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
