Chapter 17: The Distance Between Life and Death (I)
What is sudden sleepwalking disorder? To know this, we must first understand what narcolepsy is.
ββIt's a serious sleep disorder that can happen at any time. People with sudden sleep disorder can have a sudden attack at any time in their daily lives, it can happen while traveling, it can happen during a conversation, or it can happen when driving in the driver's seat.
ββSudden sleepwalking, on the other hand, is a condition that occurs within a sudden sleep disorder. The cause of sudden sleepwalking is still unknown, but it is known that the onset is usually between the ages of 10 and 20.
ββAccording to some psychologists, there are about 2 to 10 people in 10,000 people who have sudden sleep disorder, and even fewer people may suffer from sudden sleepwalking.
ββSitting in the classroom, looking at Xue Ying, who was sleeping very sweetly in my arms, I shook my head.
ββI've known Xue Ying for more than two years, and although I've only recently been in frequent contact with her and paid attention to her, I haven't noticed anything unusual about her. She should not be a patient with sudden sleepwalking.
ββSo, how to explain the scene that happened to her not long ago?
ββNo clue.
ββCould it be that Xue Ying was really possessed by a ghost just now? Possessed by the Disc Immortal we inadvertently invited more than a week ago? As soon as I thought of this, my head shook wildly, unwilling to continue thinking.
ββA famous philosopher once said, "Superstition, what is superstition?" Superstition occurs when a person becomes insanely obsessed, obsessed, adored, or even begins to exclude the other, forcing himself to stop accepting any ideas that are contrary to such things. β
ββPerhaps, for a long time, I have also become superstitious, superstitious about science and everything that can be explained and deduced by logical thinking.
ββAnd recently, a series of events have happened around me, each of which is saping my will and tormenting my mind. I even began to wonder if my IQ was as high as I had always thought......
ββXue Ying rolled over in my arms and slowly opened her sleepy eyes. "Why am I here?" She looked at me lazily, her face full of surprise, but she lazily leaned on my lap and didn't want to get up.
ββ"You fainted just now, so I had to carry you back to the classroom." I didn't want her to worry, and told a harmless lie.
ββXue Ying combed her messy hair with her hand, trying to remember something in her mind, and suddenly smiled at me: "People had a terrible dream just now. I dreamed that I was buried alive in a dark, horrible hole, and I couldn't see anything around me. I tried desperately to climb up, but I couldn't. I just felt like my limbs couldn't move at all, as if I was being crushed by something.
ββ"It was silent, except for my crying, and I could only hear the faint murmur of water on the other side of the wall. It's scary, it's really scary! Xue Ying hugged me hard, and her whole body began to tremble violently again.
ββ"Don't be afraid, I'm right next to you!" Damn, it's not going to happen again, is it?! I immediately hugged her desperately, turned over and pressed her to the ground.
ββTo my surprise, Xue Ying immediately stopped moving and did not struggle. I only felt her whole body stiffen, and through the thin clothes, I could even feel her soft body heating up.
ββRealizing that the situation seemed to be different from not long ago, I looked down in surprise and almost ran into Xue Ying's pale red lips.
ββXue Ying quietly opened her big eyes and looked at me with gentle and a little shy eyes, but there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
ββI was stunned, so I kept a distance from the tip of my nose, looked at her for a long time, and suddenly realized something, so I was embarrassed and hurriedly wanted to stand up. Xue Ying immediately wrapped her arms around my neck, she licked her lips playfully, and then closed her eyes.
ββFinished! This look of Ren Jun kept breaking my will.
ββI only felt my head slowly lowered, and the beautiful face became clear in my vision, and then because the distance was too close, it became blurry on the retina, and it became more and more blurred...... The rapid breathing of the two men began to meet, mix, and disperse.
ββIn the end, I only heard a "pop" in my head, and I knew that my reason had completely collapsed......
ββAt the same time as my will collapsed, there was a sound outside the classroom, the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets. I was quick-witted and suddenly came to my senses.
ββ"Did you hear that? It looks like someone is looking for something in the office next door. β
ββI stood up and pushed Xue Ying, she blushed and reluctantly opened her eyes, "It's so late, how can anyone run to the teaching building like a nerve?" She pouted at me, her eyes clearly scolding me for being a "coward," "stupid," "pig-head," and all that sort of incomprehensible creature.
ββI smiled wryly and pulled her quietly under the window outside the office, carefully peeking inside.
ββI saw a man about 1.75 meters tall, squatting in the corner on the right side of the office, rummaging through the materials poured out of the drawers of various cabinets.
ββI pressed my middle finger to my lips, nodded to Xue Ying, and slowly and silently moved a little to the left, trying to see the man's face clearly, but accidentally touched the wastebasket at my feet.
ββThe man stood up in shock, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately rushed out of the office and ran away without a trace.
ββ"Damn it!" I covered my head in frustration and kicked the wastebasket that I tripped over.
ββ"That thief is so unlucky that he would be stupid enough to steal an abandoned office!" Xue Ying said lightly.
ββ"That thief is stupid? Hmph, I can't see it. I walked into the office that had been unlocked by the thief and asked her, "Do you know why this office was abandoned?" β
ββXue Ying pondered: "It is said that more than ten years ago, there was an introverted female teacher who could not bear to be bullied by her students, and then hanged herself in this office. Where someone has committed suicide, even the most daring people will be jealous, and teachers often say that it is very eerie, and at night, there will be many strange things that cannot be explained, and finally they will jointly ask the school to seal this place. I remember it seems like that's why. β
ββ"Not bad." I turned on the flashlight and rummaged through the spot where the thief had squatted just now, and said to Xue Ying, "There are four offices in this building, right?" Did you notice just now that there was no trace of damage to the other offices, so why did the thief choose this very unpleasant location in the first place? I think there must be a problem. β
ββ"Xiaoye, I think you're too suspicious." Xue Ying pursed her lips, skeptical of my guess.
ββI slowly looked at the data one by one, and suddenly my whole body was shocked, and I raised my head stiffly, and said to her: "I'm afraid I can't be suspicious this time." β
ββHanding the information in her hand to Xue Ying, she only glanced at it, and suddenly froze with surprise on her face: "I didn't expect that the principal's son, Zhong Dao, was actually a student in the third class of the sixty-second high school!" and Zhou Jian and Li Ping, who was raped by him, are classmates! β
ββWhat I found was a student resource book about Chung Dao.
ββFor some reason, I inexplicably felt that I was getting closer and closer to the truth, and I trembled and looked at Xue Ying excitedly.
ββXue Ying thought for a while, "By the way, at least now we have found the most obvious clue, that is, Zhou Jian, Zhong Dao and Li Ping are all classmates. If it is extended from this relationship, then I think the love triangle surrounding Li Ping will happen between them? β
ββ"Clever!" I applauded her judgment and added, "We have to prove not only what you mentioned, but also a few things." First, the pile of broken school uniforms and underwear is not Li Ping's. Second, why did Zhou Jian's school card mix in that pile of school uniform rags. Three, is that love triangle really just a love triangle?
ββ"Think about it, first of all, Li Ping loves a boy deeply, but the boy she loves loves another girl and wants to abandon her. Hey, if you continue to extend further, I have reason to wonder if there is another boy who is infatuated with Li Ping. It's like a fill-in-the-blank multiple-choice question, we already know the two answers, we just need to match them to the seats. β
ββI was spitting all over the place, wanting to dump all my doubts and ancient brains on Xue Ying, when I suddenly heard a slight footsteps, and slowly walked over from far to near.
ββI immediately gestured to Xue Ying and pulled her behind a set of cabinets that gave her an unobstructed view of the office.
ββSoon after, a man about 1.75 meters tall and short about the same height as the thief just walked in. The man was pale, haggard and decadent, and his back was strangely bowed because of the compulsion of life. When we saw his face, we almost cried out in surprise.
ββHe is the Zhong Dao.
ββZhong Dao looked around cautiously, and then squatted in front of the pile of materials to rummage carefully.
ββI felt Xue Ying's whole body tense, oh no! A sense of foreboding rose in my heart, and I hurriedly pulled her down, lowered my voice and asked, "What do you want to do?" β
ββ"Of course I went out to confront him!" Xue Ying said with a face full of righteousness.
ββ"Are you crazy! What if he did kill someone? If something like this really matters to him, I don't think he would mind killing two more at all. I stared at her incredulously, alas, and I couldn't understand what the little girl was thinking now.
ββXue Ying pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Xiaoye, you have too many concerns. Do you know that there is an old saying that the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again? Keep your eyes peeled and see Miss Ben's superb performance. Without saying a word, she broke free of my hand, winked at me, and walked out.
ββ"Zhong Dao, are you looking for something like this?" Xue Ying held up Zhong Dao's student information flatly and asked loudly.
ββZhong Dao was suddenly shocked, and he slowly turned his head, with a surprised expression on his face. "Who are you?" He looked around in horror.
ββ"You should ask who we are." I tried to squeeze a smile out of my face and walked out.
ββThere was no way, since the ambush failed, I had to change my strategy and use confrontation.
ββXue Ying glanced at me apologetically, and then said, "Why do you want to find this student information book?" Is it because there are some secrets up there that you have to destroy? Will it make you reveal the secret of raping Li Ping and then killing her? β
ββ"I didn't rape Ping'er, and I didn't kill her." Zhong Dao muttered in despair.
ββ"You lie, if you didn't rape her, why would you go to jail?" Xue Ying stared at him with unblinking eyes.
ββZhong Dao sat down on the ground weakly, his eyes became dull, "I can't say." β
ββXue Ying snorted and said, "Of course you can't say it, because you can't quibble at all." β
ββI pulled Xue Ying hard and whispered to her, "Don't you think Zhong Dao's expression is weird? β
ββ"Hmph, I think he must have pretended." Xue Ying said disdainfully.
ββI shook my head, pointed at him and said, "That guy is obviously not very conscious, as if he has taken drugs. β
ββ"Yes, I've been a drug addict." Zhong Dao raised his head, took a deep breath, and said to the two of us: "Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't rape Ping'er, let alone kill her. I didn't go to jail either, I went to a drug rehab center.
ββ"Ever since my she's died, I started to numb myself with alcohol, and then I learned to use drugs!" He stared at the ceiling of the office with empty eyes, and said slowly: "She died here, hanging herself with the silk scarf I gave her." β
