It's a pity that Jiang Chanji didn't inherit his parents' artistic talent, not at all, and he was basically an idiot in terms of art.

When he was a child, he was taken to his parents' studio, and was influenced by art and music all day long, and it stands to reason that he should learn something, at least cultivate some art appreciation aesthetics or a keen sense of musicality, but in the end he didn't know anything, he couldn't even recognize the staves, and his painting stopped at the level of graffiti.

Parents are also open-minded, they didn't chase ducks to the shelves, and after a while they gave up edifying him, they are not the kind of parents who want their children to become dragons, forcing their children to realize their own dreams that they didn't realize back then......

They discussed that they didn't make much money playing music and art anyway, so why force children who were not talented in this area to follow their old paths?

Jiang Chanji is grateful for their open-mindedness, so that he is not kidnapped by extracurricular activities that he doesn't like like many children.

It happened around the time that Jiang Chanji started high school.

I don't know exactly when the couple began to have some bizarre nightmares, the scenes in the dreams were places they had never been to, and they had not seen them in movies or TV series, so strange that they didn't seem to be the scenery on earth.

The strangest thing is that the dreams of the husband and wife are quite consistent and the synchronization is very high.

Frequent nightmares make them nervous breakdowns, which affects their teaching work, and they often wander or make mistakes when teaching children during the day, although the children can't see it, but they themselves feel that they are misleading.

In order to solve the problem of nightmares, they have to go to the sleep specialists or neurology departments of major hospitals, and seek help from doctors who are good at solving sleep disorders.

Seeing this, Jiang Chanji remembered that his parents did often go to the hospital for a while, but they didn't tell him the specific reason, at that time he thought they were going to add a younger brother or sister to him, so they were conditioning their bodies to prepare for pregnancy, and secretly laughed at their old couple talking about juvenile madness......

He doesn't hate having multiple siblings, and it's good to have a younger sibling at home to spend time with him, just as he should go to college in three years.

The sleep specialist failed to address the parents' problems and recommended them to see a psychiatrist.

This may have two meanings, one is to recommend that they solve the problem at the root – that is, psychologically, and the other is ...... The couple's repeated repeated nightmares at the same time are theoretically nonsense, and sleep specialists believe that either they are lying about the nightmare or they are in the pre-stage stage of schizophrenia.

During the days of the sleep consultation, the couple's condition continued to deteriorate, not only did they have nightmares at night, but they also began to experience auditory hallucinations during the day, always feeling like someone was whispering in their ears, in an ancient language they didn't understand...... They weren't even sure if it was a certain language.

When they arrived at the psychiatric department, the doctor listened to their narrations, judged that there was something wrong with their mental condition, prescribed them some medications, let them take them daily, and then observed the effects.

They hide these things from their sons, and of course, what parent would want their children to think of themselves as mentally ill?

High school is one of the most critical periods in their lives, they don't want their son's studies to be affected, let alone their son's psychology clouded, they hope that their illness can be quietly healed, as if nothing happened.

Contrary to expectations, the drugs did not work, and their symptoms continued to worsen.

They again turned to the doctor, who suspected that they had not taken their medicine properly and recommended that they be hospitalized.

Hospitalization refers to admission to a psychiatric hospital.

It is undeniable that any society will look at the label of "mental illness" through colored glasses, and once they are admitted to a psychiatric hospital and the news leaks out, which parent will dare to let their children go to their interest training classes? What does their family eat and drink?

Even if they hadn't resigned and were still working as teachers in the school, I am afraid that the school would not have been able to accommodate two mentally ill people to be in charge of teaching.

So they can't be hospitalized anyway.

Besides, if you are admitted to a psychiatric hospital, will you definitely get better?

During that time, they forced a smile in front of their son, and when their son went to school, they were speechless for each other, only a thousand tears.

They rushed to the doctor, tried all methods, and even went to the temple to pray to the gods and worship the Buddha, wondering if they would secretly offend any gods, but as a result, they donated a lot of incense money, and their condition did not improve at all.

Seeing this, Jiang Chanji's eyes couldn't help but redden, and he felt infinite self-blame in his heart - if he could have paid more attention to his parents' psychological state at that time, maybe things would have gone in another direction?

But he was just a high school student who had just entered his first year of high school at that time, and he was an ignorant half-grown child like every unworldly high school student, busy studying and adapting to the new environment every day, and his parents deliberately concealed it from him, so it was not surprising that he didn't notice his parents' abnormality at that time.

The couple's symptoms have progressed from nightmares and auditory hallucinations to the next stage – fragmentation.

In order not to delay the students, after they fell ill, they suspended the training course and announced that the studio would be renovated.

The studio is located not far from the street door downstairs, and the couple go to clean from time to time, anyway, they can't do anything now, so they have to try to save money for hourly workers to clean, and they feel that they can't always be bored at home, and they may be noticed by their son and wonder why they don't work.

The strange thing happened during the time when they went to the studio to clean up.

Whether they go together or alone, they always arrive at the studio, clean up for a while, and then break up, and when they regain consciousness, they have a paintbrush in their hands or a plaster cast, or they may be sitting at the piano with their fingers on the keys and they don't remember what happened.

There were strange drawings on the drawing board, like something they had seen in a dream.

Plaster is too, pinched into strange and strange shapes, like some extraterrestrial creature.

In a studio like this, there is generally monitoring indoors, one is to avoid disputes when children are injured while playing, and the other is that parents can also remotely monitor the status of their children when they are at work.

They quickly called up the surveillance footage to find out what was really going on.

In the video, they are very attentive and dedicated to painting, sculpting, and playing the piano passionately, and the piano tune is unheard of for them, primitive and wild, as if a giant beast is chanting in the depths of the ocean, and the source of the music cannot be found with some song search apps.

They had never been in such a state of concentration and passion before, otherwise they might have become famous, and the paintings, sculptures and piano music they created at the time of the fragment were far beyond their usual level.

This is the state that only rumored art masters will enter, the realm of forgetting things and self.

They didn't feel joy, they were scared.

It was after this that they began to engage in gambling – not because they had intended, but when the fragment regained consciousness, he had the phone in his hand that had finished placing bets.

In the beginning, they won more and lost less, so instead of having a deficit, their family earned more than they had in a training class.

It was also from this time that they stopped having nightmares, no more painting weird paintings, no more making strange creatures out of plaster, no more playing piano music that did not exist in the world.

With the exception of the splinters, they returned to normal, and the splinters only happened at home, and when they were lying or sitting, they never posed a danger to them, only brought more and more bank card balances.

The tormented hearts of the couple are puzzled, are they actually blessed by misfortune?

Who can refuse the temptation of not having to work hard to teach those naughty bear children, not having to deal with fussy parents, just staying at home and lying or sitting, and the bank card balance will rise?

They lost to the lazy nature of human beings, gradually lost their vigilance and vigilance, and of course it was impossible to take medicine again, and even opened their hearts to take the initiative to meet the fragments......

The duration of the fragments is getting longer and more frequent, and the timing of the fragments seems to actively avoid the sons, only occurring when they are alone.

Then, they start losing money, big sums of money.

Almost in the blink of an eye, they were ruined.

Not only that, but later they learned that they not only lost all their money, but also quietly borrowed countless sums of money from relatives and friends they knew, and the WeChat chat records and call records of the borrowed money were all deleted by themselves when they were broken, so they were unconscious after regaining consciousness.

The excuses they use to borrow money from relatives and friends include illness, urgent needs, buying a house, temporary turnaround, starting a business, and investing.

Because of their former character and reputation, their relatives and friends did not suspect him, and they all lent them all the money, and those who borrowed money under the pretext of investment, not only did they have to pay it back quickly, but they also had a fairly high interest rate, so that others really thought that they had invested well, so they lent them more money......

They borrowed even people they didn't know too well, such as former colleagues at the school who hadn't been in touch for many years after leaving.

even owes all kinds of online loans and loan sharks, and those online loan apps are all deleted when they are borrowed.

Before they knew it, they owed astronomical sums of money.

It wasn't until someone came to the door to urge them to pay back the money that they woke up from a dream.

They want to die, but the condition of the Fragment quickly worsens, and they leave the house at the time of the Fragment, not knowing what they have done during the Fragment.

Later, when they came to their senses, they were already in the strange and hot heat of Southeast Asia, living in a small dirty hotel next to the underground black market where fish and dragons were mixed and smuggling was rampant, and people spoke Chinese, English and other unfamiliar languages with strong accents.
