Watching in the dark night

"Now start imagining that you are in a vast grassland. In the distance, there are running sheep and a shepherd boy." A gentle voice slowly sounded above Yan Shuang's head.

"Nearby is the blue ocean. Beside you is the person you love most." Seeing Yan Shuang's eyes slowly narrowed, the speaker's voice became softer and softer.

"You guys are walking slowly on the soft green carpet. There is a patch of dawn in front of you. You are walking towards the light that shines on your face." At this point, the voice stopped abruptly.

Dr. Lin lowered his head and glanced at Yan Shuang. Her expression was calm, but her eyelids moved slightly, as if she was not yet fully immersed in the scene she was describing.

So, he continued to speak and said in a low voice: "Is the sun dazzling?" he asked Yan Shuang.

"No," Yan Shuang answered vaguely with her eyes closed.

"Then what did you feel?"

"Warmth. Freedom." The voice that answered him became smaller and smaller.

Seeing the half-lying person, the whole body began to relax completely. He began to guide in a low voice: "Very good. Now slowly look closer. Lower your head and see the pink and purple flowers?"

No one responded to him, and the person in front of him seemed to have entered a deep sleep. Dr. Lin looked at Yan Shuang intently for a while, then stretched out his finger to gently move the pendulum ball not far away. The ball made a "ta-da.-da." sound when it was running.

Regular and rigid.

Yan Shuang felt that she had never felt so unrestrained in her heart.

The wind on the grassland may not be gentle, but the wind blowing on my cheeks is filtered by the distant sunlight and the biting coldness is filtered out, leaving only gentleness.

She took a few steps forward slowly with her bare feet, and then squatted down. The small pink-purple flowers are only connected by thin roots. When blown by the breeze, the whole body trembled and swayed extremely regularly.

Her eyes, following the swing of the flowers, gradually began to lose focus. So she changed her focus and stood up, looking at the shepherd boy in the distance.

Just when she was about to approach and greet the child, there was a slight noise beside her. The same pair of feet without shoes slowly walked towards her.

She turned around and looked around, smiling, "Are you here?" she asked the visitor.

The other party ignored her and just looked at her expressionlessly with a face exactly like his own.

She seemed to understand why the other party ignored her.

"I know you are blaming me, but I have also been punished. Why didn't you come to me during those ten years when I escaped by chance? Is it too cold to come to me now?" She didn't care. Did the other party give any response? He just kept talking to himself.

The man who had been silent took two steps forward stiffly. He picked off a small flower, then stretched out his hand straightly, and handed the flower in his hand to Yan Shuang expressionlessly.

A little surprised, but still took the flower in her hand, Yan Shuang asked: "This means, have you forgiven me?"

Still no response, she smiled bitterly, "That's right. It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me." As soon as she finished speaking, the person who looked exactly like her was blown away by the wind in the grassland and turned into fragments and disappeared.

Her vision went dark, and when she opened her eyes again, she stopped in the corridor of a residential building. The dark voice-activated lights flickered on and off, and the yellow light made the entire stairwell look eerie.

Putting her feet on the old stairs, she slowly climbed up. Not long after walking, I heard laughter coming from an open room.

She turned around and turned to look at the room.

There were three people sitting inside, clearly Ning Xin, Hao Xin, and Mei An.

They gathered around a small round table to eat. There was a photo on the TV cabinet behind them, and the person in it was smiling particularly brightly.

The few people were having a great time drinking and eating, but they didn't seem to notice Yan Shuang standing at the door.

She wanted to say hello, so she knocked on the door. But it was strange that Mei An was telling some joke to the other two people. After a while, the three of them were laughing so hard, but no one still paid attention to Yan Shuang at the door.

Seeing this, she stepped directly into the door and walked to the three of them. But at such a close distance, Yan Shuang could clearly see what dishes were on the table and what drinks they drank. But the three of them still treated her as if she didn't exist.

A little bored, she had no choice but to look at the clock on the wall and "click, click, click." The second hand moved regularly, and time passed slowly.

The three people at the table have been eating, but there is always no shortage of things in the bowls.

Yan Shuang looked at their faces. Everyone looked happy, and the smiles on their faces seemed to have never faded.

But gradually she discovered that their smiles were getting weirder and more fake. The smiles on their faces at this moment seemed to have been forcibly broken into pieces.

Not agile at all, like a marionette.

"You guys." Seeing the expressions on their faces becoming more and more terrifying, their laughter became more and more unrestrained. Yan Shuang didn't hold back, and opened his mouth gently.

The moment she spoke, Hao Xin immediately stopped his facial expression. After seeing it, Mei An also gradually stopped laughing, and finally Ning Xin.

They began to eat with expressionless faces, as if they would never have enough.

Something really doesn't look right here. Yan Shuang stepped back, but accidentally bumped into the tissue box on the coffee table, making a slight sound.

She turned her head and glanced, and when she turned her head again, she saw.

The three people who were eating around the round table all looked at him invariably.

Their pupils were dark, and from Yan Shuang's point of view, they didn't even have the whites of their eyes. Three pairs of eyes, six bottomless black holes, stared at her expressionlessly.

"No" Yan Shuang suddenly woke up, or woke up from hypnosis.

First, her ears heard the same "ta-da" sound as in Ning Xin's room. Then, what comes into view is the slow and regular pendulum ball.

With a gentle breath, she looked at Dr. Lin beside her and tried to sit up slowly.

"How do you feel? What did you see?" Dr. Lin asked softly.

"Not very good," Yan Shuang said vaguely. As for what she saw, she didn't want to say yet.

Just now in hypnosis, she figured out something. So she has more urgent things to deal with now and really doesn't have time to talk slowly with Dr. Lin.

"Can't you tell me too?" Dr. Lin was still trying to communicate with her, but Yan Shuang had already stood up and put on her coat.

"Dr. Lin, I have something urgent now. I really can't delay it. I'm sorry." She was a little embarrassed that she wasted Dr. Lin's time for half a day.

"It's okay. Next time you come here, remember to call in advance!" Dr. Lin warned her.

"Well, thank you." Although Yan Shuang was thanking her, her mind had obviously already flown away.

She took her phone out of her bag, thought about it, and put it back.

After leaving the door, she took out her mobile phone from her bag again, but judging from the color, it was obvious that it was not the same one.

Then, while typing with her head down, she waved to stop the car. After pressing send, the phone in Yan Shuang's bag rang again.

I saw her hurriedly holding the mobile phone in her hand and operating it, neatly pulling out the phone card and throwing it into the trash can nearby.

Then, he took out the cell phone that had been ringing for a long time from his bag and pressed the answer button.
