"I haven't had a good night's sleep since that night. Almost every day, as long as I close my eyes, I can feel her standing at the head of the bed whispering. ”

"Sometimes she even grabbed me by the neck so that I couldn't breathe......"

In the retro-decorated psychiatric clinic, a thickly dressed man sits on a sofa, dragging a tired voice and slowly describing his recent encounters.

His clothes were out of place with the current season's temperatures, and this way of wearing it was either physical or mental, and in either case, he really should have seen a doctor.

"Dr. Su, I feel like I'm going to die."

Listening to the patient's description, the awakening who sat across from him stopped turning the pen in his hand and sat up straight and half-jokingly spoke.

"yes, this damn weather, it's normal for you to suffocate in such a hot outfit."

Hearing this, the man tightened his collar and wrapped himself more tightly.

"Dr. Su, you know I'm not talking about the weather."

Wake up and cough lightly twice, and glance at the information.

"Ahem, Mr. Lin, as far as I know, you seem to be a writer, and you also write some supernatural horror stories. So I wondered if it was possible that you were spending money to find inspiration from me, or that your perception of your horror story had reached such a paranoid level that you had auditory hallucinations.

Combined with what you described earlier, I initially speculate that it is schizophrenia. ”

Hearing this, the man sitting opposite stared at Su Xing with his godless eyes and muttered, "Doctor Su, you mean that what happened to me is nothing more than delusions caused by cognitive paranoia?" ”

Wake up shrugging noncommittally.

"Is this situation normal?"

The man sitting across from the coffee table reached down and ripped off the scarf around his neck, revealing the bruises that covered him.

Has it reached the point of self-harm?

Seeing the bruise on the man's neck, he woke up and put away his relaxed attitude and became serious.

"If you've already self-harmed, it's not a small problem. Mr. Lin, I remember you just said that since that night, can you tell me how many days ago 'that night'? And what happened that night? Or what do you see? ”

The voice fell, and in exchange for a long silence.

The haggard-faced man opened his mouth several times but never made a sound, not knowing whether he was recalling the events of that night or not wanting to recall.

Su woke up and didn't urge, but checked the recorder and waited quietly, after all, his charge is calculated by time, and if people are not in a hurry, then he doesn't have to be in a hurry.

"About a week ago."

"You know, in what we do, there's always a need for inspiration, so I came home late that night. The time should be around twelve to one o'clock in the morning. I didn't find the inspiration I was looking for that night, so I was very disappointed.

But as I stepped into the empty elevator, I suddenly thought of an urban legend circulating online. ”

"Could it be the weird game that circulated on the Internet about stepping into a different world through an elevator?" Awakening has also heard this urban weird story, saying that it is possible to travel to another world through the elevator at midnight.

The man nodded slightly, and then a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Now that I think about it, only a psycho would do something like this at midnight, but before that, who would have thought that this would actually happen?

I pressed the 4th, 2nd, 6th, 2nd, 10th, and 5th floors in turn according to the rules of weird talk, and before the elevator stopped on the fifth floor, nothing happened, and just as I laughed at how I could believe this kind of legend, outside the elevator on the fifth floor, a woman in a dark dress walked in.

She didn't press any floors when she came in, just stood in the corner of the elevator with her head down. I didn't look at her, let alone ask, but pressed the last floor, the first floor, according to the rules of weird talk. ”

"The elevator didn't go down, it went all the way up! The ascent is so fast that it gives the illusion that it is about to be crushed by gravity. It was then that the woman standing next to me spoke. ”

"She asked me where I was going, why I was in such a hurry, and asked me if I could accompany her to a place, and she was scared alone. She seemed to be talking to me, and she was talking to herself, and she said, 'I'm beautiful, don't you want to look back?' ’”

The man's voice trembled, and his emotions began to stir.

"Her voice was nice, like a lark, so I couldn't help but look at it. Dr. Su, you have no idea what I was seeing. The woman's face was tattered, her eyes were full of irregular blood, bones were visible, and the wounds were torn out like glass!

And what she was wearing was not a reddish-brown dress at all, it was a white dress dyed red by blood over and over again!

Underneath the corners of the skirt were solitary ankles, which were locked with slender chains, and then ...... Nothing further down, she just floated there. ”

"Doctor Su, I can feel it, she's a trick! Her eyes were full of resentment, and she tried to tear apart every living person she saw. ”

As the narration progressed, the man's emotions gradually collapsed, and there was already a trilling voice between the words.

Wake up and speak out at the right time, trying to calm the other party's emotions.

"Shhhh You have to know that there is no such thing as trickery in this world. Uh-at least we are not allowed to have it in Huaxia, my clinic has only opened for a short time, so I can't talk nonsense. ”

As he spoke, he got up and poured a cup of hot water for the other party, signaling that he should not mention such a thing again.

Holding the hot paper cup, Lin Lu looked up at Su Xing, I don't know why, this young psychiatrist who spoke a little out of tune gave him a feeling of relaxation. After taking a deep breath, he continued.

"Then I wanted to escape, and it happened that my house was on the tenth floor, so I didn't hesitate to get out of the elevator. But I forgot that the world outside the elevator at that time was no longer reality. There was no light in the hallway, only the blood seeping in from the windows, and the place where there should have been a door in the hallway was blocked by the red brick wall.

The air was dull as liquid, and the hallway was like a coffin.

Before I could react more, the woman in the elevator came out, she changed her previous soft voice and became fierce and irritable, she asked me to accompany her to a funeral, I didn't agree, so she was even more angry.

At that moment, the whole building was shaking, her long hair was clinging like a spider's web, and I was so nervous that I couldn't breathe, and my brain was groggy and unconscious. ”

The story should end here, and at the end, he woke up and grabbed the loophole in the story and opened his mouth to ask.

"Mr. Lin, if, as you said, you should have been killed by that kind of thing in that world, then I want to know, how did you go back to the real world and live a good life for seven days, and still sit here and tell me this?"

As he spoke, he wrote the inference of "paranoia" at the end of the note in his hand.

But before the words were finished, Lin Lu, who was sitting opposite, spoke again.

"I woke up on the bed in my room after I fell unconscious. I don't know why this happened, but I know for sure that something must have been left there that night. And I'm still alive, maybe because the time for the funeral hasn't come yet. ”

After speaking, Lin Lu turned sideways and took out a rather festive-looking invitation card from the backpack on the side.

"Dr. Su, when I woke up the next morning, this thing appeared at the head of the bed, and it was this thing that made me conclude that none of this was a ridiculous nightmare."

Hearing this, Su Xing looked at the content of the invitation with a puzzled expression.

It's better to say it's an invitation than an obituary.

The general meaning of the content is to invite someone to attend a woman's funeral.

The name of the invitee is Lin Lu, and the bizarre thing is that the deceased and the person who signed up are the same name, both of them are a woman named Chen Xin.

If nothing else, this woman is the one Lin Lu bumped into in the elevator.

"Invite someone to your own funeral? It's bizarre enough. ”

No matter how you look at the rose-patterned invitation, it looks like it was for marriage, but it is full of eulogies, and this sense of disobedience makes people's hearts furious.

Prank? But there's no real prank on someone cursing themselves to death, right?
