Chapter 20: She's Back
When the old man in front of him recounted all this, his eyes were a little wandering, but his tone was very firm.
It was as if he believed from the bottom of his heart that everything he said was the truth of the matter.
"Mr. Chen, I want to know what kind of person your ex-wife is, even after running away with other men, she is willing to pay all your treatment expenses, there are few such good people in today's society."
The corners of Chen Junyang's eyes twitched slightly. I opened my mouth several times but couldn't spit out a word.
Of course, he couldn't answer such a question, and seeing that he didn't speak again, Su Xing knew that there would be no answer if he continued to ask questions on this topic.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, I'm just asking casually."
Wake up and take on the posture of a skilled psychotherapist.
Knowing that ordinary conversations could not lead to useful clues, he took out the invitation.
When he saw the cover of the festive invitation, Chen Junyang's face gradually became gloomy, and the protrusions on the blue tendons on his forehead were visible to the naked eye, as if he was struggling with something in his heart.
"What is this?"
The phrase almost squeezed out between his teeth.
The smile that woke up gradually retracted, and the eyes that looked at the man lost their previous kindness.
"Didn't you say your daughter was missing? No body, no crime scene, no evidence of homicide is missing. So, here's the invitation that your missing daughter asked me to bring you. She's getting married. ”
The flaming red and festive invitation was lying on the table, and the golden rose pattern symbolized love and eternity.
But something was somewhat surprising that the first reaction of the man in front of him when he saw this invitation was actually horror.
"No, it can't be, she's missing, there's no way she's going to come back, it's fake, what the hell are you trying to do?!"
The man's emotions were about to collapse, but Su Xing didn't care about opening the invitation for him and pushed it over.
"Doctor! Doctor! Doctor! ”
The man held his head in his hands and curled up in the corner of the bed, constantly shouting loudly in an attempt to ask for help.
The moment the invitation card was opened, the lazy dark clouds that were floating low in the sky suddenly surged, and they all gathered together to block all the sun's rays as much as possible.
The black oppression made the whole city breathless.
On the invitations, every stroke of the dense text was full of resentment, and even their painful screams could be faintly heard.
"It was supposed to be a happy wedding, and it wasn't supposed to be like this."
"I put on my wedding gown, but also went to the grave. My blood stained the plain white dress red in the narrow space, and I was going to die, but I still imagined how much this blood-stained dress looked like a wedding dress. ”
"Why do this to me? He tried to carve the words love me into my heart, but with a cold, sharp knife. ”
"I also asked people for help, but they just touched my head and said, "My father loves me very much, I should be obedient, I should grow up obediently...... Maybe I really should be like other children, normal. ”
"But why, why can't everyone hear my cry? Even though my voice was hoarse and my throat was hoarse...... No one wants to help me. ”
“……”
The content of the invitation is constantly twisted and changing, but the only thing that remains constant is the name of the invitee.
The position where the word "awakening" should have been written is impressively printed with Chen Junyang at this moment.
The font on the invitation was as if it had just been written in blood, and it was still flowing and seeping.
Until it overflows, staining the wooden table top red.
"Blood, a lot of blood. Help, come on! Doctors, nurses, come on! ”
Chen Junyang covered his head and roared wildly, but no one responded to it, as if his voice could not reach the door of the ward, nor could it reach behind the camera overhead.
Seeing that the call for help was fruitless, the man tried to escape barefoot, but as soon as he reached the door, there was a click of the only door, and no matter how he shook, he could not move a bit.
I don't know what the lights in the corridor of the ward were affected by, and suddenly they began to go out one by one, as if an invisible monster had broken in from the outside, and all the lights would be extinguished wherever it passed.
The man blocked in the doorway was a little overwhelmed, listening to the sound of the lights going out in the hallway getting closer and closer, and he even wanted to bury his head in the quilt on the bed.
How could a person who could kill someone in such a cruel way be so afraid?
Su Xing looked at the panicked man at the door, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.
Zizi –
The lights in the ward were the last to go out, and the moment the last trace of artificial light disappeared, the whole room was enveloped in a chill.
Answers......
The sound of liquid dripping is clear to your ears.
The whole world fell silent the moment the light vanished, except for the dripping sound of an unknown liquid.
Chen Junyang's back was pressed against the door, his eyes widened, and he was constantly panting.
The chest, which was so dry that it almost seemed to be bony, rose and fell exaggeratedly, as if the heart inside was trying to break free from the shackles of the flesh.
Tick, tick –
On the table, a pool of scarlet liquid gathered around the invitation, and they fell ticking, and its sound was like a heavy hammer, constantly knocking on Chen Junyang's heart.
She's back.
Outside the window, the sky was gloomy and terrible, and it was noon, but it looked like it was about to enter the night.
The sudden power outage caused the entire hospital to be in chaos, and those patients who had been recovering well on weekdays went crazy collectively at this moment.
Screams, laughter, and a whining monkey cry.
All the doctors and nurses were so busy that no one noticed what was going on in the room where the Wake was going.
"Help me, I can't breathe, help me ......"
Chen Junyang clutched his chest with a painful expression, knelt on the ground, and used his last strength to ask for help from Su Xing, who was standing at the table.
In the eyes of the awakening, the whole room around him has not changed much, but the lights have been dulled a little, and the temperature has suddenly dropped a little.
And there was no oozing blood on the table at all, only a glass of water that he had just deliberately knocked over.
Just now, I seemed to be asking an ordinary question, but before I knew it, I had already begun to mentally suggest and carried out a simple hypnosis.
In a simple conversation, Su Xing judged that this man did have some mental problems, but it was not a split personality, he just deliberately avoided the truth of ten years ago and lived in a fantasy scripted story.
In his eyes, he himself is a great good father, a good husband, and a good man who can give everything for this family.
Whatever the truth, he tried to believe it was true.
He firmly believed that Chen Xin was missing, and killing her was just a delusional hallucination.
And when this kind of thinking is paranoid to a certain extent, it is actually a mental illness.
Awakening hypnotizes him, not to hurt him, on the contrary, it is a kind of treatment.
Let the patient face up to the memory that has been deliberately ignored, and face the former self and be a normal person.
For ordinary people, reconciling with past mistakes is indeed a kind of redemption, but the man in front of him is an exception.
This kind of redemption is the most cruel knife.
"Chen Junyang, do you remember. What exactly did you do that night? Chen Xin, she didn't run away at all. You locked her in the basement, you cut off her feet, you scratched her face.
You take a closer look at your hands, the broken wood knife is still dripping blood, you killed her with your own hands, and then erased all traces.
Not only do you want the police to find no evidence, but you also want you to not find it yourself. ”
The sound of awakening kept bombarding the man's mind, and he didn't want to remember those memories that had been deliberately hidden, but everything back then appeared in front of him one by one.
The space around them distorted, and everything in front of me became more and more like the dusty basement.
And the awakening standing in front of him, a figure appeared behind the young man at some point.
The grim white face of that figure was so familiar.
"Xin'er, you're back......"
