Weird Talker

Chapter 66 A Cooperation

Time goes back to last night.

"Lawyer Chen, are you really dead?"

In the room on the second floor, Qin Manjiang looked at the disfigured corpse and asked in a low voice.

His eyes quickly glanced at the mist under his feet.

The fog is dissipating.

Why does fog appear in the room where people died? Is it the incarnation of ghosts?

Or... something else?
Subconsciously knocking on the edge of the bed with his fingertips, watching the fog dissipate, at this moment, Qin Manjiang stood up and was about to leave when he heard a man's voice behind him:

"She's not dead."

Qin Manjiang turned his head, and Yan Xiao, a tall doctor, was leaning against the door.

"You don't seem surprised that I'm still here?" Yan Xiao asked curiously after seeing Qin Manjiang's calm expression.

"I'm surprised," Qin Manjiang admitted, "it's just that I can't express myself."

The saying that he saw a ghost made Yan Xiao think that Qin Manjiang was perfunctory, so he didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, Qin Manjiang was telling the truth.

After hearing the news from Zhong Xueran that the doctor had some problems with his head, Qin Manjiang also thought that the doctor had gone crazy when the situation happened just now, but he didn't expect that all of Yan Xiao's actions just now were mostly acting.

"How do you know she's not dead yet?" Qin Manjiang asked.

The doctor's expression was relatively calm, just looking at the corpse: "She's superfluous."

"My scalpel, in addition to being used on living people, can also be used on people who have died soon, but only a few people know about it."

Yan Xiao walked to the window, carefully looked at the window glass and the surroundings: "Chen Yu is one of them, she and I have acted together before."

"Look at this corpse." He looked condescendingly at the remains, "The face and abdomen were eaten, but the heart was cut open by me with a scalpel. She was worried that leaving a corpse with a heart would reveal that the deceased was not For her secret, she simply prepared a heartless corpse."

"So stupid." Qin Manjiang couldn't help but said.

Yan Xiao nodded, he looked at Qin Manjiang: "What do you think?"

Qin Manjiang pondered for a moment and said, "I have a guess, but I haven't found any evidence to support it."

"Oh?" Yan Xiao looked at him seriously, "I also have a guess."

"Dream?"

"Dream."

The two said one after the other, almost in unison.

"Zhong Xueran asked me to discuss with you, saying that you don't look like a new player at all," Yan Xiao stood beside Qin Manjiang, "She's right."

Qin Manjiang was also a little surprised. He originally thought that only he could come up with such outrageous guesses.

"Why do you think so?"

Yan Xiao didn't answer, but suddenly asked: "Do you still remember the color of the streets in the town?"

Qin Manjiang's memory is quite good, which is one of the very few characteristics of a standard adult male.

But this time, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember the color of the street.

"One of the characteristics of dreams is that we cannot remember the details of the dream, or even the dream itself." Yan Xiao said.

"I have the habit of knowing the way, especially when I go to a strange place." Yan Xiao walked to the window and looked at the night outside, "I went to the island with you, and I was always remembering the way into the town. Even if there is fog, I should remember the general appearance, but I don't remember."

"Then, it's chicken soup." Yan Xiao said.

Qin Manjiang also nodded: "Abnormal, illogical behaviors and cognitions are normal and undetectable in dreams, but they seem strange to us outsiders."

"Well, these two points alone are enough to arouse suspicion in the ghost talk game."

Yan Xiao said, "So, why did Chen Yu feign death to escape? What did she see through the mirror?"

Qin Manjiang also walked slowly to his side and looked out the window: "First base everything on the understanding that this is a dream, and then think about it."

Yan Xiao nodded: "It makes sense."

"If this is indeed a dream, why would Chen Yu do this?" Yan Xiao whispered.

Yes, the most critical question is, if Chen Yu is not dead, why would she do this?
If she wants to get in the way and harm everyone, she can completely hold back, and when she suddenly strikes at a critical moment, the effect is far better than escaping by feigning death.

It doesn't really make sense.

Unless...she had a reason to do so.

"In some crime novels, the serial murderer usually has a way of disguising himself as one of the victims, so as to avoid everyone's vision and suspicion, and to commit crimes better." Qin Manjiang looked at the dark night, suddenly Said.

Yan Xiao's heart was moved by what he said.

Before he could think carefully, Qin Manjiang continued to ask: "I want to know... what does it feel like to dream?"

"Huh?" Yan Xiao suddenly asked the reason for this question before he could react.

But because of Qin Manjiang's calmness and sensitivity just now, he still replied: "Dreams have strong emotions, usually anxiety, fear, and surprise. There is no logic and order in dreams. The dreamer can't detect the abnormality in the dream during the dream. Things, dreams will rationalize everything. Dreams are very vague, I can only remember the general idea, but I can't remember the details..."

"Wait," Qin Manjiang interrupted Yan Xiao, he turned his head and stared into Yan Xiao's dark eyes, "Have you ever dreamed about yourself?"

His question made Yan Xiao's mind flash!
"You're right... In the dream, the dreamer can never see his own face."

Yan Xiao and Qin Manjiang turned around at the same time and looked at the unrecognizable corpse on the bed.

If this is a dream of a ghost, then in this dream the ghost itself is incorporeal, because it cannot dream itself.

Its perspective can only be chosen from a certain person who appears in the dream.

"She was chosen by the ghost and became the ghost's eyes, watching us in the dream. Her life is different from ours." Yan Xiao said.

He suddenly thought of the former chief who died in this strange story, that...could he also be chosen by ghosts?
"But why did she die?" Although Qin Manjiang was asking, there was no doubt in his tone.

Yan Xiao looked at him and understood his thoughts.

If ghosts don't have a physical body, there's little they can do about it.

But...now that the ghost's perspective is on Chen Yu, Chen Yu is equivalent to the ghost's substitute in the dream.

But Chen Yu still chose to feign death to get away, and didn't stay with them and secretly play tricks just because he was chosen by the ghosts.

Inferring the cause from the result, there is only one reason——

Chen Yu, or Li Gui, felt that staying by the player's side was more risky.

So... the way to counter that ghost lies with Chen Yu.

"We need a way to lure her out," Qin Manjiang said.

Yan Xiao pondered for a moment, and after thinking about the scene just now, said: "Fog."

Qin Manjiang nodded. Although he didn't know what the fog was, the fact that it appeared in the room meant that it had a lot to do with Li Gui, or Chen Yu.

Perhaps, being in the fog can make Chen Yu feel more secure.

"Tomorrow I will go into the fog alone." Qin Manjiang said.

Yan Xiao looked at him: "I will follow you, but not too close."

"Yeah." Qin Manjiang didn't think this little risk was anything, after all, this was a strange world.

"You take this finger." Yan Xiao took out a bloody finger from his pocket.

"If it's a gift, forget it." Qin Manjiang quickly refused.

"This is a sign." Yan Xiao looked at him.

"what?"

"I can sense the specific location of things cut with this knife." Yan Xiao explained, "If the fog is too thick, I can only use it to determine your location."

"..."

Qin Manjiang stretched and retracted his hand. After hesitating for a while, he still put his fingers in his pocket.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"May I ask... is there really something wrong with your head?"

"..."
