"Lynch, are you still here?"

I heard Guo Yujie speak in a low voice, and when I came to my senses, I was about to answer when I felt my body sink.

"Sir! Sir!"

I was pushed, opened my eyes, and saw the taxi driver.

There were many people surrounding the taxi.

"You're awake. It scared me to death. I was about to call the police for an ambulance." The driver sighed.

I rubbed my forehead and asked, "What happened?"

"You fell asleep like this as soon as you got in the car and didn't wake up when you got there. I thought something had happened to you." The driver's face looked a bit off.

I said "Oh" and thanked the driver. When it was time to pay for the taxi, I found that the price was different from what I had paid before. It was very different.

"If you do this, I won't turn off the meter." The driver said out of breath.

Probably after he noticed that I was asleep, he drove around in a circle, or stopped somewhere and let the meter jump.

I was too lazy to worry about this and paid directly.

The phone rang, and there were several missed calls.

I checked the time and it should be a little later than the time I entered the dream.

The call was from Chen Xiaoqiu. As soon as I answered the call, I heard her relaxing breath.

"Are you okay?" Chen Xiaoqiu asked first.

"It's okay. I just got off the taxi and it's at the exit of the subway station. How is the situation there?" I replied.

"Everyone has been found. Xiaojie said he saw you."

Chen Yihan was also at the subway station at the moment.

Chen Xiaoqiu asked me to go over, and we all got into Chen Yihan's police car.

"Xiaojie will also go there. There is another victim who was rescued." Chen Xiaoqiu said to me.

Xue Jingyue was wiping tears and was very excited.

"I saw the situation. That ghost was the murderer of Qin Yijuan's daughter's case." I told what I saw in the dream.

"You need to make a portrait of a criminal later. Do you remember that face, right?" Chen Yihan said.

I nodded.

This is what just happened, how could I have forgotten that hideous face so quickly?

"So, there is something wrong with your ability?" Chen Xiaoqiu focused on another aspect.

I was helpless, "Yeah. I might have to ask Ye Qing and the others, but if it's really because of that different space..."

Then the degradation of my abilities may be irreversible.

"By the way, what happened after I entered the dream?" I asked.

From the perspective of time, now is the time since I entered the dreamland before, and I have changed the past and present. Chen Xiaoqiu and the others should have experienced two "nows".

Chen Xiaoqiu's expression was a little complicated.

My heart skipped a beat, "What's wrong?"

"If you hadn't intervened, that woman would have died. The body was found by Guo Yujie. She would have continued to chase the ghost and was attacked from behind by that woman's ghost..." Chen Xiaoqiu said slowly.

"Wait!" I interrupted Chen Xiaoqiu, "That woman's ghost?"

"Yes, we saw it on the surveillance camera. The woman's ghost attacked Guo Yujie from behind, and dragged Guo Yujie into the workroom together with the rapist." Chen Xiaoqiu's face was expressionless.

I felt a chill.

"She was in a very wrong state." Xue Jingyue whispered, "She was tortured a lot before she died, and she turned into a ghost after she died. Maybe she was controlled..."

When I heard Xue Jingyue's words when I was hungry, what came to my mind was what the ghost said: "... A girl like that can tell at a glance that she has no temper and is very cowardly. If she is bullied casually, she can do nothing but cry. …”

I don't want to have such dark thoughts. I even had a good impression of that woman and her friends before, and thought they were kind and friendly. However, hearing her treat Guo Yujie like this makes it really difficult for me to maintain my previous views.

It is indeed understandable that one cannot bear the torture and chooses to compromise with darkness and sin. But I can't forgive such people.

I let out a heavy breath.

"Does Guo Yujie know?" I asked.

I thought of the scene where Guo Yujie heard my voice and rushed in without hesitation. She also listened to my words and took the woman out of the toilet.

Did she know she was being attacked by a ghost who transformed into a woman after she died? You know, before that, she chased the ghost so hard and warned the woman of the danger several times.

Chen Xiaoqiu said calmly: "Of course. She is not unconscious. She saw a woman...a female ghost."

I clenched my fists.

It was quiet inside the police car.

When we arrived at the police station, Chen Yihan took us to see Guo Yujie first.

Guo Yujie was sitting in the lounge of the police station. Whether it was Chen Yihan's explanation or the police officers' spontaneous behavior, there was a lot of food and drink on the table in front of Guo Yujie. Two policewomen were next to Guo Yujie.

When we entered, we heard the older policewoman educating Guo Yujie: "It's a good thing for a little girl to have a sense of justice, but she must also pay attention to her methods. Do you know that it's very dangerous for you to chase criminals alone? Don't think so." It's safer in public places with a lot of people like subway stations. Some people want to commit crimes, no matter where they are."

Guo Yujie peeled off the candy wrapper and agreed with a smile, "I know."

"You are very strong. You can hit three of them with one person, but what if they have a knife?" The policewoman was still teaching her earnestly.

Chen Yihan knocked on the door.

When the two policemen saw Chen Yihan, they quickly stood up, saluted, and left the room with a wink.

After a few of us entered, we closed the door.

Guo Yujie probably saw that we were all so serious, sitting upright and looking like good students.

Chen Xiaoqiu walked over.

I was keeping a straight face, thinking about how to talk to this silly lady about safety issues.

Chen Xiaoqiu reached out and flicked Guo Yujie directly on the forehead. After that crisp sound, there was Guo Yujie's cry of pain.

"You are too messy!" Chen Xiaoqiu scolded seriously.

Guo Yujie didn't dare to cry out in pain anymore. She faced the red mark on her forehead and sighed in a way that was out of character for her.

"I really didn't expect that person was not a human, but a ghost. I also didn't expect that I would be so unlucky..."

"There is a ghost in the subway, don't you know?" Chen Xiaoqiu asked.

Guo Yujie was speechless and scratched her head, "How could I have thought of so much at that time..."

"That's why you encounter this kind of thing! Don't forget, you are not alone. If something happens to you, what will happen to your family and your friends? Do you still remember how everyone in Qingye disappeared? "?" Chen Xiaoqiu was still stern.

Guo Yujie said guiltily: "I'm sorry."

Xue Jingyue shed tears and stepped forward to hug Guo Yujie and Chen Xiaoqiu.

I heard her low whimper.

Guo Yujie and Chen Xiaoqiu also reached out and hugged each other tightly.

The three people huddled together, all crying.

I felt a little uncomfortable, but not to the point of crying. But when I think about what happened to Guo Yujie, I really hate that iron cannot be transformed into steel.

Chen Yihan was calm, took the tissue on the table, handed it to the three women, and then pulled out the chair next to the table and sat down.

"If you've cried enough, let's talk about what's going on." Chen Yihan said.
