Nightmare Attack

Chapter 19 The Hostage Complex
Jiang Cheng pretended to sigh, "I didn't understand at first, but now I think that she may have a mild Stockholm syndrome, which is often referred to as hostage complex, so I think."

Fatty sighed in his heart, "What do you think?"

"I think she might be interested in me." Jiang Cheng said helplessly.

Fat man: "."

Jiang Cheng waited for a while, and realized that Fatty didn't speak. He turned to look at him and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

The fat man took a deep breath, "Wait for me to calm down."

Just when Jiang Cheng was eager to analyze with Fatty how Chen Xiaomeng felt about him was not simply because he was handsome, his stomach inadvertently made a "grunt".

Fatty regained his energy in an instant, and asked Jiang Cheng if he was hungry, so he could make something to eat.

Jiang Cheng remembered Fatty's cooking skills during the mission, nodded and pointed to the direction of the kitchen, Fatty ran away as if he had fled.

It is said that psychiatrists are generally not mentally normal, and now the fat man finally believes it.

Jiangcheng seldom cooks, and the refrigerator is mostly piled with quick-frozen food. There is also a box of Kang Shuaifu instant noodles in the corner, which was bought when the supermarket was on sale.

Fatty tossed for half an hour, and managed to piece together two dishes.

There was no staple food, so I took out a few more bags of instant noodles and fried it. After serving it, Jiang Cheng ate more than half of it by himself.

"Doctor," Fatty took a mouthful of noodles and put down the bowl, "Do you usually live alone here?"

Jiang Cheng picked up the plate, put the rest of the dishes into his bowl, and ate it in one bite, then took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, nodded and said, "Most of the time, yes, and I don't have any plans to take in another person."

Fatty grimaced and said, "Don't be like this, doctor. Although I'm not as wise or handsome as you, I've done a lot of work and can definitely help you."

Jiang Cheng looked at the empty bowl on the table, as if he really thought about it, and did not answer immediately.

Fatty felt that there was a door, so he cheered up and said excitedly: "Doctor, you don't have to make a decision right away, you should think about it carefully, I'm really very useful!"

"We'll talk about this tomorrow." Jiang Cheng stretched his slightly stiff neck, "I'm tired, let's go to bed first."

The fat man quickly put away the dishes and brought them to the kitchen. At the same time, there was the sound of water washing the dishes, "Doctor, you should go to sleep first, I'll wash the dishes, and then I'll just spend the night on the sofa."

But when the fat man finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen while shaking the water in his hand, he saw Jiang Cheng sitting on the sofa in front of the table, and he didn't seem to move.

"Doctor." The fat man asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else you can do?"

Jiang Cheng looked at the fat man up and down, raised his eyebrows and said, "You go upstairs to sleep too, I'm afraid of the dark alone."

The fat man was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to think of something bad, and said in a panic: "Doctor, I'm not such a casual person as you think!"

"no?"

Fatty thought about it for a while, and said firmly: "It's not even death!"

"Okay then." Jiang Cheng stood up naturally, without any look of forcing others to do anything. He first walked towards the stairs, and then went up the stairs. He stopped when the figure was about to disappear, turned his head to look at the fat man and said: "Be careful at night," he said, pointing to the opposite wall, "the door in my dream appeared there, and, I'm different from you, I didn't walk into that door by myself, but was trapped by the door. It was grabbed by a huge ghost hand that stretched out."

After speaking, Jiang Cheng went upstairs without looking back.

After Jiang Cheng left, Fatty sat on the sofa alone, staring at the wall, restless.

He couldn't tell whether what Jiang Cheng said was true or not. He was a person who didn't like to play cards according to common sense, but in a sense, he was trustworthy, at least he brought himself out of the nightmare world alive.

As soon as Fatty closed his eyes, he felt in a trance that the iron gate Jiang Cheng was talking about reappeared, and a huge ghost hand with open teeth and claws stretched out from it.

The pale fat man stayed downstairs for less than 5 minutes, and then ran upstairs. After going upstairs, he bumped into Jiang Cheng leaning on the handrail beside the stairs, looking like he was waiting for him.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard Jiang Cheng say, "You can sleep in the living room, I will sleep in it."

Fatty looked in the direction of Jiang Cheng's line of sight, and there was a door that separated this small living room, presumably there was a bedroom inside.

"Doctor." The fat man said righteously, "If you are afraid of the dark, I can consider squeezing with you."

Jiang Cheng, who was lying on the mattress, didn't feel much sleepy. He half-squinted his eyes, staring at the empty ceiling, and the scenes from the nightmare repeated in his mind.

Fatty was in the living room outside the door. He once advised Jiangcheng not to close the door, so that everyone could take care of each other.

But Jiang Cheng felt that he didn't need his attention, so he politely declined, not only closed the door as usual, but also locked the door.

He was worried about leaving such a stranger downstairs, so the fat man had to be upstairs.

Combining his recent experience, Jiang Cheng naturally thought of the missing Hu Yan, as well as Hu Yan's younger sister who disappeared before Hu Yan.

Their disappearance is probably also related to this so-called nightmare.

According to Fan Li, people who die in nightmares appear to be missing in the real world.

A strange disappearance without warning.

Hu Yan's missing person notice clearly states that Hu Yan disappeared late at night and was wearing light pink silk pajamas when she disappeared.

The husbands who shared the bed were unaware.

The first middle-aged man who died in the nightmare mission once asked how to get rid of the nightmare completely. Fan Li's answer was to let him ask such stupid questions less.

From Jiang Cheng's point of view, there must be a way to get rid of the nightmare, but people like Fan Li or the middle-aged man don't know it, or they know it and don't want to share it with others.

Thinking about it, the sleepiness gradually hit, Jiang Cheng did not deliberately curb this power, and closed his eyes with the flow.

The physical strength consumed in the nightmare returned to this body with the end of the nightmare, but the energy consumed could not be recovered. Jiang Cheng slept very deeply this time.

In the half-dream, he heard a tinkling sound, as if the next door was being renovated, or there were nails being nailed in the vicinity, and the floor was shaking slightly.

He rolled over, curled up, covered his head with the quilt, and fell back asleep.

The last thing that forced him to open his eyes was a knock on the door.

"Doctor." Fatty's loud voice came from outside the bedroom door, "Are you up?"

After getting up, Jiang Cheng simply cleaned up, opened the door and walked out.

The living room outside the bedroom was empty, and there was no figure of the fat man. He went downstairs along the stairs.

The mobile phone showed that it was already 11 am. Jiang Cheng didn't expect that he would fall asleep until noon, and his head was still groggy at the moment.
