Chapter 37: The Root of the Incident

Lin Sheng said and took out his mobile phone.

"In the last dream, the Mother Body and I found the location of the 'Door', and at the edge of the city, we found its location."

"Excuse me to interrupt, I want to know what the 'door' is?"

Jiang Mian said cautiously.

"To put it simply, it is the root of ghosts, and I also need to explain to you what 'ghosts' are."

"To be precise, 'ghost' is not what we call a ghost in the conventional sense, and it is not an spirit that is created after a person dies."

"As I mentioned when I told you the details, the ghost is actually named 'Morpheus' by my organization, and it is a thing of unknown origin that cannot be observed under normal conditions, and only when it is attached to human beings, it will manifest as a conscious entity in the spiritual world."

"And the origin of this entity is generally all kinds of supernatural rumors in the city, or the shadow in the heart of the parasited, and some are individuals who can't find the origin of reality, maybe it's not widely known because of the backing, but there is one of the most special individuals, which is embodied through people's various bizarre dreams."

"In short, 'ghosts' are not unfounded, although it may be difficult to find the root cause...... But they do need to rely on something, a concept. ”

"And the 'door' ...... It will appear in some kind of root location of the thing they are based on, for example, it is based on some supernatural rumor in reality, then the 'door' is likely to be related to the location involved in that rumor. ”

"If it's a psychological shadow of a mother, then it must be related to some of the mother's past experiences."

"Of course, the location of the 'door' in those unprovoked events and overhead events must be very difficult to find, after all, there is no realistic basis to use as a reference, it depends on the situation."

Jiang Mian nodded his head violently like a chicken pecking rice, while trying to digest the extremely large amount of information he had just obtained.

"So what kind of ghost is this incident?"

"At birth...... It is paranormal rumors. ”

"During the last intervention, the parent and I observed that the humanoid shadow was mimicking us and making a gesture that we definitely didn't do, so I thought...... That's what it gives us at the mercy of the rules of events. ”

"Later, the mother and I went to investigate, and found out that the ghost in this incident was actually based on a supernatural rumor in reality."

Lin Sheng said, and his thoughts gradually returned to the incident three years ago......

…………

Lin Sheng opened the door and walked into the hotel room with two dinners.

Today is still a day of no gain.

The actual time was 00:02 on February 9, 2042, and he successfully intervened in this dream incident.

According to the ratio of the reality of the dream to the time of reality, the outside world should be about three hours by now.

Lin Sheng couldn't help but feel a little headache, today was the third day of this incident, but he still hadn't found the exact information about the "door".

Go on like this...... I'm afraid I'm going to die here this time.

This is his sixteenth mission, but it is substantially different from previous nightmare events.

Who is infected this time......

It's his own sister.

Although due to the Dreamer Project, the memories of being together have been adjusted-

The other party has no memory of himself at all now.

But even if he dies here, it doesn't matter, at least he has to send Xiaoqian back to reality safely.

As the first day of being locked in a haunted elevator seemed to warn them that the outside world was not safe, Lin Sheng, who was worried that Xiaoqian would be in danger, chose to leave her in the hotel during the day.

However, the space in the hotel room is too small, and it will be difficult to escape in the event of an accident.

Therefore, Lin Sheng warned Lin Xiaoqian that he must stay in the lobby, although it is not bright because of circuit maintenance, but at least it is very empty, and he should be able to escape smoothly in most situations, without having to follow him to risk outside.

It wasn't until nearly seven o'clock in the evening that the two walked back to the room together when Lin Sheng came back.

And he had just gone downstairs again to fetch two dinners.

Lin Sheng pushed open the door and looked at the girl in the room.

Seeing Lin Sheng come in, Lin Xiaoqian picked up an old newspaper from the coffee table, and then handed some of it to Lin Sheng.

Mr. Lin...... You see, this is an old newspaper I got from the hotel lobby, this newspaper is lonely on the magazine shelf in the lobby on the first floor, I remember that you told me to pay attention to the things around me that may be 'prompts', and I think it is a little suspicious so I took it first. ”

"Is there any valuable information on it?"

Lin Sheng put dinner on the table, and then sat down with a cup of coffee.

"I think there should be, I flipped through the whole newspaper during the day, and there was a news piece in a small corner with some information on it that reminded me of the action of the human shadow we had seen earlier......"

Lin Xiaoqian said as she handed the newspaper to Lin Sheng, and then sat down beside Lin Sheng carefully, as if she remembered what she had seen before, so she couldn't help but feel some fear.

Lin Sheng picked up the newspaper, and then saw the "new" news that Lin Xiaoqian pointed out.

It was about a woman who hanged herself in her apartment.

The time is mentioned, the place is mentioned, and some intriguing details are mentioned.

Lin Sheng immediately recalled the picture he had seen before.

The humanoid shadow that appeared on the ceiling made a very puzzling gesture for both of them.

In my memory, the figure suddenly began to swing as if it were swinging upright, swinging from side to side like a pendulum clock in the air, and it was much faster than the slow writhing behavior I had seen before.

At first glance, Lin Sheng and Lin Xiaoqian couldn't understand the intention of the human form to make this act.

But it didn't take long for Lin Sheng to react suddenly-

The behavior of the humanoid shadow ......

It's hanging.

The shape of the swaying from side to side is like a shadow cast on the wall by a person when he hangs himself.

…………

"Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng!"

Jiang Mian saw that Lin Sheng suddenly stopped talking, as if he was thinking of something, so he patted Lin Sheng on the shoulder.

Lin Sheng came back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, I just remembered something important."

Then he looked at Jiang Mian, and continued in a deep voice:

"I did a lot of research at the time, so the general situation was basically clear."

"It was a story about a woman who committed suicide in her apartment, but it turned into an urban legend."

"A paranoid woman has been secretly in love with a man she likes for a long time, but she never dares to express her heart, but delusionally thinks that the other party will find out about her feelings, and then pursues her in turn."

"She even rented a house in an apartment across from where the man lived."

"Then I stalked and peeped every day and night, but I never dared to come forward and really contact each other."

"Just waiting, waiting for the man to suddenly open his mind one day, and notice that he is the woman who has been appearing not far from him and is in love with him."

"In the midst of waiting day after day, the pursuit and confession did not wait, but waited for the news that the man was in love."

"She was not convinced, feeling that the woman who could be by the man's side was inferior to her everywhere, and even loved him as much as she did."

"But the reality is cruel, the relationship between the man and his girlfriend is getting better and better, and it seems that she is all he has in life."

"This made the woman feel frustrated, and at the same time, she also came up with the idea of replacing the man's girlfriend."

So the woman ...... began to morbidly imitate everything about the man's girlfriend, from life hobbies to work types, from dressing to acting style, as if he wanted to copy everything about her. ”

"In the end, I even went to plastic surgery based on her appearance."

"The woman after plastic surgery has developed an unparalleled self-confidence, she feels that she is now good enough to take his girlfriend's place and even be able to do better than her."

"But you know what?"

"Since women have never taken the initiative...... So the man didn't even know the woman at all. ”

"Everything...... It's all the woman's self-inflicted, self-absorbed behavior. ”

"When the woman imitated everything and plucked up the courage to go to the man for the first time to show her love, she revealed all the feelings that she had hidden in her heart for many years."

But the man was so frightened that he fled, he couldn't imagine that he had been stalking and spying on him in his previous life.

"Soon, the woman saw through the binoculars that the man had moved his family away from where he was now living and disappeared."

"Maybe hope turns into despair, maybe it is love gives birth to hate."

"That night, the woman hanged herself in that apartment."

"According to the first person to find her body, until the moment he found it."

"The woman's body was hanging in the air and shaking, staring at her blank eyes and staring straight in the direction of the window."

"That direction...... It was the man's previous 'home'. ”

"And the corpse just hung in the air, swaying from side to side without external force."

"And her shadow reflected on the wall, constantly reverberating back and forth in the room......"

"Swinging ......"

"As if ......"

"The inexplicable hatred in my heart has never stopped."
