Please charm this NPC

After some good communication, Ran Wenyu and Ai Liangjing got along happily.Ran Wenyu lay down on the reclining chair under Ai Liangjing's arrangement, and adjusted a comfortable posture.

This reclining chair is very ergonomic. Anyway, Ran Wenyu felt that it gave him a more comfortable feeling than a bed. As soon as he lay on it, Ran Wenyu, who was already exhausted due to lack of sleep, felt drowsy involuntarily.

Feeling slightly dazed in front of him, Ran Wenyu blinked hard, trying to keep himself awake.And Ai Liangjing sat down on the chair next to him, holding a pen in one hand, and flipping through a notebook on his lap in the other, with a warm voice: "So, Wenyu, what is it that bothers you? Can you tell me for a while?"

Ran Wenyu snorted, "I've had nightmares for three consecutive nights, and every morning I wake up feeling extremely tired, even more tired than if I didn't sleep all night." Probably Ai Liangjing's voice was too gentle, and his tone was not Consciously brought a bit of grievance like a baby.

Ai Liangjing chuckled, and this chuckle was heard in Ran Wenyu's ears, making him feel inexplicably familiar: "So, what did you dream about?"

"On the first night, I dreamed of black goat cubs..." Ran Wenyu paused, then turned to look at Ai Liangjing who was sitting next to him, "Doctor, do you understand the Cthulhu mythology?"

"Know a thing or two." Ai Liangjing nodded slightly, "As a qualified psychologist, in order to be able to communicate with patients smoothly, I have dabbled in any aspect."

"Really, it's quite difficult to be a psychiatrist." Ran Wenyu sighed, but didn't care, and continued his answer, "Then, I was thrown into mud by a black goat cub."

Ai Liangjing raised his hand to cover the lower half of his face, and secretly raised the corners of his mouth.

Ran Wenyu: "The next night, I went into the cave, and met vampire bats, a large group of rats eating people, and..." A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the shadows that were only blurred in his memory suddenly became clear , "By the way, there are also earth burrowers!"

Ai Liangjing raised his eyebrows.

Ran Wenyu: "As for the third day, that is, last night, I seem to have dreamed of the color of the stars."

Ai Liangjing: "...other than these?"

Ran Wenyu was puzzled, and turned to look at Ai Liangjing: "Except for these... nothing."

Ai Liangjing is persuasive: "You can think about it again. In your dream, besides these creatures in the Cthulhu myth, have there been any other existences that impressed you, such as...human beings? .”

Ran Wenyu's eyes were confused, and following Ai Liangjing's guidance, he seemed to have skipped a few figures in his mind, but the feeling was so thin that he couldn't grasp any details at all.In the end, he shook his head resolutely: "No, I don't remember anything other than those mythical creatures."

Ai Liangjing: "........."

Dr. Ai was silent for a moment, closed the medical record in his hand, and smiled again: "Dreams are often related to reality. In your dreams, there are only mythological creatures of Cthulhu. It may be because...you have come into contact with this kind of information during the day. Too much."

"That's what I thought at the beginning." Ran Wenyu frowned, "So, since I started dreaming, I haven't played the COC running group, but the symptoms have not been alleviated."

"It's probably because you stay away from this kind of things, but not enough." Ai Liangjing smiled professionally, "You can try for a while longer."

"Then, that's okay..." Since professional psychologists have said so, Ran Wenyu nodded dubiously, "Doctor, am I really not sick?"

"Your mental state is very good and your thinking is clear. The only problem is that you have nightmares." Ai Liangjing slowed down his voice and rubbed his curly hair to comfort him, "Everyone can have nightmares. Not a big deal."

However, Ran Wenyu was still uneasy: "However, those dreams are so real, I can't tell what that feeling is... It's like when I was very young, they really happened, but Because the time is too far away, the memory has been distorted and faded, leaving only the most profound blurred image... But, that sense of reality makes me know that it really happened..." Ran Wenyu was a little incoherent, Trying hard to articulate how you feel, "Can you understand me, Doctor?"

"Yes." Ai Liangjing smiled, "but it's just a dream. Dreams are chaotic and disorderly, and sometimes they seem very real. After all, when people are dreaming, they don't realize that they are in a dream." middle."

"No." Ran Wenyu retorted, "Although I can't remember clearly, I feel that my dream is very logical and not chaotic."

"If it is indeed logical, then why do you only remember the monsters that appeared in it, even bats and mice, but not the other contents?" Ai Liangjing asked back.

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——I always feel that this doctor means something, is it an illusion?

Since the psychiatrist insisted on his own judgment, Ran Wenyu, who knew nothing about psychology, could only believe his words for the time being, and stood up from the leather recliner: "Then... that's it for today?"

"No, next, I will help you relax." Ai Liangjing stretched out his hand and pressed Ran Wenyu's shoulder, "You are troubled by nightmares, and your spirit is getting more and more tense. Before going to bed, you keep thinking about not having nightmares, but it helps you It's a breeding ground for nightmares."

These words were quite reasonable, Ran Wenyu nodded repeatedly, and lay back obediently.And Ai Liangjing stood up, walked to the other side of the room, turned on the stereo, and soon, a melodious and beautiful melody filled the entire consultation room.

The melody is so beautiful, it seems to be singing from heaven, which makes people relax and smile involuntarily.Ran Wenyu listened intently for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in a low voice: "This music is so beautiful, what's its name?"

"It doesn't have a name, but I wrote it specially for psychotherapy. I'm glad you like it." Ai Liangjing replied with a smile. His gentle voice fits perfectly with the warm music. "Music can affect human emotions and emotions." Sensory, music psychology has also become a specialized discipline, which is quite promising.”

Ran Wenyu couldn't help looking at Ai Liangjing, with a curious expression on his face: "I've heard of some banned songs in the world, such as "Black Friday" and "No.13 Double Eyes", which will make people go crazy and commit suicide. Really?"

Ai Liangjing looked back at him, his smile deepened, and his eyes were deep: "It's true."

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

"But don't worry, the so-called forbidden music clips circulating on the Internet are all fabricated. They don't have the power to manipulate human emotions and distort human psychology. Even if you feel uncomfortable after listening to them, most of them are just from human beings. It's just a self-psychological suggestion." Ai Liangjing added, "As for the real music, it has already been destroyed by the governments of various countries and has been submerged in the torrent of history."

Speaking of this, Ai Liangjing's tone actually carried a bit of regret, as if he regretted not being able to personally experience these miraculous music that was like a gift from the devil.

The corner of Ran Wenyu's mouth twitched, and he lay back silently. The instinct of the little animal told him that this topic should not be continued.

——It is said that some psychiatrists are more or less abnormal because they often contact patients with mental problems and try to understand their hearts and thoughts in order to cure them.

Criticized like this, Ran Wenyu didn't delve into the inexplicable creep in his heart, he relaxed his body, closed his eyes, and gradually let go of his thoughts.

With comfortable leather reclining chairs, pleasant and gentle music, and the faint plant aroma lingering in the room, Ran Wenyu, who did not have any insomnia troubles, soon fell into a dark and sweet dreamland.When I opened my eyes again, it was already three hours later.

Although he only slept for three hours, Ran Wenyu felt that his whole body was refreshed. The fatigue and headache that bothered him before had completely disappeared, and he was in a better state than before he started having nightmares.

The uplifted Ran Wenyu lifted the blanket that had been covering him at some point, propped up his body, and looked at Ai Liangjing who was sitting behind the desk, wearing glasses, who was writing something: "Doctor Ai."

Ai Liangjing raised his head and smiled at him: "You're awake, how do you feel?"

"The sleep effect this time is really amazing!" Ran Wenyu widened his cat eyes, his eyes were shining brightly, and his tone of voice was slightly raised due to emotion, "Really, I have never felt so relaxed and comfortable before!"

"For young people like you, the routine of work and rest is basically not very healthy, and staying up late is almost normal." Ai Liangjing chuckled, seeming to blame, but also seemed to persuade, "If you want to continue to maintain this state, Please also regulate your daily work and rest, go to bed early and wake up early."

Ran Wenyu silently closed his mouth - it is impossible not to stay up all night, this is his last stubbornness as a young man.

Although he is not quite convinced of Ai Liangjing's judgment that "it's just a nightmare", for Ran Wenyu, being able to sleep well here and go home refreshed is already worth the money.

He said goodbye to Dr. Ai in a happy mood, and under his signal, he left the consulting room through another door. After walking through a very normal corridor, he came out from the door on the left side of the reception desk and returned to the reception room.

The young man behind the reception desk had already received the news, stood up early, and greeted him with a smile.Ran Wenyu, who was in a good mood, also smiled at him, and took out his mobile phone: "How much does this treatment cost?"

"Two hundred." The young man replied, placing the payment code in front of Ran Wenyu.

Ran Wenyu was stunned: "How much?"

"Two hundred." The young man repeated patiently.

"...so cheap?" Ran Wenyu couldn't believe it.

Psychological counseling is considered expensive in China, and it is charged according to the length of the consultation, with prices ranging from hundreds or even thousands per hour.This time, after sleeping for more than three hours in the consulting room, Ran Wenyu was already prepared for a hemorrhage, but he unexpectedly encountered the price of cabbage.

"Yes, Doctor Ai said, you don't have any psychological problems, and he didn't do anything for you, just let you sleep peacefully while he handles the rest of the work. The price of two hundred is enough," the young man explained. road.

Ran Wenyu sighed in his heart, "This clinic is really a conscience", and he paid the money quite readily, and even silently decided to give it a sincere praise on the Internet.

——Well, from now on, he is also a member of the "Water Army".

Just when Ran Wenyu was walking home in a happy mood, Ai Liangjing in the consultation room also stood up and walked to a wall covered by green plants.

As he approached, a secret door slowly opened on that wall, and behind the door was a secret room.

The light in the secret room was extremely dark, and the decoration style was exactly the same as the dark corridor that Ran Wenyu had complained about before. The fluorescence emanating from the silver lines reflected the whole room strangely.

The walls on all four sides of the room are covered with various photos, all of which are people-themed, including men and women, old and young. The only thing in common is that their faces are full of fear, pain, and despair.Some people prostrate on the ground, shivering; some people stretched their arms upwards, as if they were praying or calling for help; Substantial negative emotions filled the photos, making their faces frozen on the screen come to life, as if they could rush out of the photos in the next second, and let out a mournful wail unimaginable by human beings.

However, Ai Liangjing's eyes did not stop at these powerful photos. Even if he glanced at them occasionally, his eyes were indifferent and boring, as if facing the delicious food that he was tired of, eating it was tasteless and discarding it. pity.

He kept walking, and continued to walk, and finally stopped in the depths of the room, in front of three photos that were several times larger than the others.

In front of these three photos are simple but exquisitely made candlesticks. The warm orange candlelight dispels the depressing atmosphere of the whole room, as if it is the only pure land in hell that can make people feel peaceful.And the content on the photo is completely different from other photos in the room.

In the third photo, the mature and elegant man bends down slightly, kissing the young man under him who is sleeping soundly on the table.

In the second photo, the wild, tall and strong man stretched out his arms and embraced the slender teenager in his arms.

In the first photo, the noble blond young man stood in front of the tombstone, holding a bouquet of lilies in his hands, staring at the photo of the young man on the tombstone with blue eyes, smiling gently, as if he was wistfully reminiscing.

The three photos are warm and beautiful, and you can't help but want to smile.

Staring at the three photos, Ai Liangjing also slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and chuckled: "I don't even remember anything...Hmph, what a little heartless person, he should be punished."

The author has something to say: KP: My sense of existence is not as strong as that of mice and bats. I am really a cold-blooded and ruthless team-running machine that treats NPCs as tools. I should be punished~
