"I met her in a birch forest. She wears a dress with a floral pattern. ”

Solar Rings, 9th Ring Zone

Floating cars drove by outside the window. The curtains were drawn to block out the traffic outside.

The man in the white suit returned to his desk and sat down. The identification card on the table reads his identity: Psychiatrist.

"You please continue." He said to the figure on the couch.

The young man on the couch continued: "She was wearing a dress with a floral pattern, I thought-"

"Please wait a minute." The man stopped the young man, wrote something in his notebook, and drew a circle. "Does the skirt pattern have any special significance?"

"She later said it was her favorite dress."

"Understood, please continue."

The young man continued: "I thought she was playing, but I didn't know she lived in the woods until I saw her picking wild vegetables. ”

"She lives in the woods?"

"Well, her home is in a birch forest."

"Well, it looks like your girlfriend is a rich man."

The corners of the young man's mouth twitched, and he made a laughing motion: "At that time, I was as curious as you are now, so I went over to talk." She...... She really is a beautiful girl. ”

The man asked, "Is there a picture of her?" ”

"Of course." The youth replied. He took a photograph out of his breast pocket and leaned forward to hand it to the man.

The psychiatrist took the photo, took it and looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and then looked at the young man.

"Her heart is innumerably more beautiful than her appearance."

"Oh, I'm sorry." The psychiatrist smiled apologetically and handed the photo back.

"Nothing." The young man took it and put it back in his breast pocket with a caring tenderness: "Can I continue?" ”

"Of course."

"After we met, I often went to play with her, and after a few months, we fell in love. She's a gentle and considerate girl, the kind of girl who can arrange everything properly......" said the young man dancing with his hands, as if this was the only way to describe how good a girl was.

"And then?"

"We had three happy years and got engaged."

The cap of the pen in the man's hand unconsciously taps the note. In the midst of this, the young man's expression gradually declined: "I can't forget the way she smiled at me on the day she tried on the wedding dress." Being able to carry the ring on her hand was probably the happiest moment of my life. And then...... She died a week before the wedding. Died in the attack on the Church of Nature, I think you should have watched the news. ”

"Yes." The man's eyes fell on the wedding ring on the young man's middle finger, and he stopped in his hand to get to the point: "According to your file description, you saw her again half a month ago, right?" ”

The youth nodded.

"Can you describe it?"

The young man paused for a moment, as if to gather his thoughts, and then spoke: "It was morning, and I heard some movement in the kitchen. I walked out of the bedroom and saw her making breakfast and went to clean up the house. ”

"Are you sure it's not your hallucination?"

"I ate my breakfast." The youth said. "Life was like it was going back to before. Except that only I could see her. Her parents were worried about me, so they introduced you to me. ”

"And is she here too?" The man searched left and right for the girl who couldn't be seen.

"She doesn't usually wake up so early."

"Okay." The man closed the note, and Zhengse said to him: "The preliminary diagnosis is that you have hysteria, and the longing for your girlfriend has caused you to constantly hypnotize yourself. This kind of psychological suggestion makes you have the illusion that your girlfriend is back. ”

"Probably." The young man said calmly. "But I don't want to change that."

"I need to remind you that hysteria is only in the middle stage, once it is in the late stage. This condition can cause a lot of distress in your life and may even be schizophrenic. ”

The young man pursed his lips and did not answer.

"Looks like you've decided. But there are some things I have to do as a doctor. Mr. Anthony, please put this in your room and it will record your daily life. Remember to bring it next time. ”

"I will."

……

Two weeks later.

"You're not in a good mental state." The man noticed that he had changed a lot.

"This?" Anthony pointed to his stubble and smiled, "She likes it." ”

Then Anthony thought of something and handed the VCR back to the doctor from his pocket.

The man puts it on the holographic screen, then turns it to one-way and mute.

Time passed minute by minute, except that the man occasionally manipulated the rhythm of the picture.

After a few minutes, he looked away and asked Anthony, "Have you seen this video?" ”

"I'm not going to watch it."

The man put away the video and looked at Anthony: "I suggest you get treatment in the hospital." ”

Anthony is the only one in the video. Speak to the air, the meal is what he makes, and the room is what he cleans. The invisible girl never existed.

Anthony shook his head: "This is my choice." So get here first, and I'll come to you if there's a need. ”

He left the clinic and took the elevator downstairs to board the ship.

"He's trying to persuade you to kill me again?"

In the passenger seat, a girl in a floral dress spoke.

"I don't want to argue......" Anthony rubbed his forehead.

She hugged Anthony and whispered, "I'm sorry...... I just don't want you to think I'm hallucinating. ”

"I know." Anthony let out a long sigh of relief and smiled at her.

"Let's go home."

……

Two months later.

Anthony came to the psychiatric clinic.

"She's gone."

"When did it start?"

"The morning before yesterday."

"Did she say goodbye to you?"

Anthony shook his head.

"Did anything happen before that?"

"She started to lose her temper a lot, and later told me that she seemed to be unconscious. She said she didn't want to hurt me a few days before she disappeared......"

The man often exhales: "As a listener, I feel sorry. But as a psychiatrist, I want to congratulate you. ”

He held out his hand.

"You're recovered."

……

Anthony walked out of the clinic. False sunny glare.

He didn't know what to do, and stood in the doorway.

Death is a disease. Join us in defeating death. 】

Exaggerated advertising slogans came from the sky airship.

Anthony looked up.

……

"Great story."

In the interview room, Joyce nodded.

"Let me ask a question." In the interviewer's other seat, a petite girl with blond hair and a proud look hugged her chest and laughed: "How did she like you?" ”

Anthony, who was slightly chubby and had a thick beard, said: "I wasn't like that before. She said to me, 'Anthony, if you're delicate on the inside, make it rough on the outside.' If you are on fire inside, be quiet and peaceful. It's going to be a big disadvantage for the idiots who judge you by their appearance. ”

"So you're like a middle-aged old man now." The girl sarcastically said. "Evil, and disgusting beards."

Anthony just smiled and didn't refute. He asked Joyce, "Can humans really live forever......

He saw that Joyce was the leader of the men.

"There's no doubt about it." Joyce replied.

"When a person dies, does his consciousness go to another world......

"I don't know." Joyce shook her head.

Anthony's look of increasing disappointment continued.

……

"But just as we can't prove that the afterlife exists, we can't prove that the afterlife doesn't exist."

The words of Joyce at that time rang in my ears. The chest was stained with blood, and a bunch of soldiers came into view. Soon, these were gradually replaced by a white light.

All the sounds were gone, and I don't know how long it had been, when the rustle of the trees being blown by the wind came into my ears.

He saw a birch forest and a girl in a floral dress.

The girl looked this way, standing on tiptoe and waving her arms, the breeze blowing her hair.

Anthony smiled and walked over to her.
