Just like going through the process, Tang Ji opened the car door, got out of the car with an umbrella, and easily found the stone path he walked through last night.

Yesterday's panic has been forgotten.

At this moment, his steps are light, and the pouring rain hits the umbrella surface, just like constantly beating musical notes, with a sense of rhythm.

Tick ​​tock, much faster than yesterday, he had already reached the door of the hotel.

Tang Ji took a deep breath, "Dong Dong Dong—" knocked on the door of the hotel, waiting for his brother to open the door.

crunch--

The door opened, revealing a lovely face.

Tang Ji froze in place, his hand still kept knocking on the door and he didn't put it down for a long time.

He looked at this face in horror, swallowed, and found that the fear that dominated him last night appeared again, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Inside the door, the little boy with green eyes and blood on his face who was about to kill Tang Ji last night was blinking at him right now!

But the little boy stood behind the door, and the brutality of last night was long gone.He seemed to have forgotten what crazy behavior he had done to Tang Ji.He was thin and lonely, looking at Tang Ji innocently with green eyes.

The whole person looked very pitiful.

"Who are you looking for?" the little boy asked.

"I——" Tang Ji paused, anyone who saw someone who almost killed himself last night and "pretended" not to know him today can only be in his downtime state, "—— Accommodation , is your adult there?"

The little boy turned his head and said to the door, "Uncle, there is business."

Not long after, Zhang Jianshan poked his head out, his expression was a bit indescribable, and he said, "...Tang Ji?"

Tang Ji: "..."

What the hell is going on, is the dream different this time?

The lobby of the hotel is the same as last night, the decoration is the same, but the mahjong table is gone, and the Chinese playing mahjong are gone.

At this time, the hall was empty, only senior brother Zhang Jianshan and the little boy.

The senior brother was surprised: "Why are you here? Was there a car accident?"

Very good, so you still remember that I was in a car accident.But that was yesterday.

Tang Ji frowned: "Yeah." For a while, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

The brother helped Tang Ji carry his luggage and led him to the guest room where he stayed last night.It was almost the same as last night, the senior brother explained a few words and left.

Tang Ji opened the door of the room, and listened intently to the movement in the living room, but all night, several friends of the senior brother did not show up.

The senior brother just did some final cleaning work on the first floor, and then went back to the room to rest.

There was only a small night light left in the hall on the first floor.

There are also some fragmentary meowing, rippling back and forth around the hotel.

Afterwards, the meowing sound became more and more shrill, and there was even the sound of the cat's paws scratching the wall. This sound came from Tang Ji's next room, and he could hear it very clearly.

In the middle of the night, when I heard the shrill meowing of a cat, I was really terrified.

A blond, blue-eyed, middle-aged man named Mike next door opened the door, banging on the room where the meowing sound was coming from.

"Is anyone there?" Mike yelled.

With the violent knock on the door, several doors around the room quietly opened. It seemed that everyone heard the sound, but Mike was bolder and dared to go directly to the door to make trouble.

A man with brown skin, a flat nose, and a young man with a Latin American appearance opened the door. He probably didn't expect so many people to gather around his room, and asked in a low voice, "My name is Hans. Who are you looking for?"

"Looking for you. I live next door, please keep your cats quiet." Mike said confidently.

"Cat?" Hans showed a surprised expression, "Did you hear the cat meow too?"

"Yes, it's so loud that everyone is sleeping. Pay attention." Mike said.

"We always heard cats meowing, and we searched all night, but found nothing." Hans felt a little helpless.

Obviously no one believed him, and the other tenants in the next room said, "The sound is coming from yours, not yours, who else?", "Yeah, the rainy day is bad enough, and the cat It's annoying!"

"We don't have a cat, we really don't. If you don't believe me, you can come in and look for it." Hans is a real young man. He anxiously defended himself, opened the door of the guest room, and showed everyone the situation in the room.

Tang Ji glanced casually into the room, and was stunned.

I saw a young girl sitting beside the bed in the room, her head seemed to be injured, wrapped in white gauze, and she was looking at him anxiously.

On the ground, soaked clothes and luggage were scattered everywhere.

On some clothes and trousers, even blood stains soaked by rain can be seen.

"What's wrong with you?" Tang Ji asked.

"A car accident," Hans sighed, "I can't help it, the mobile phone has no signal, the boss said that the doctor in the town is resting, we will stay for one night, and we will find someone to find a solution tomorrow."

Hans didn't notice Tang Ji's unnatural expression, and he was still explaining: "This is my lover. We were going out on our honeymoon, but we didn't expect to encounter a car accident and overturn, and the rain was so heavy that we didn't know what we hit. Tomorrow I still have to go to the police station, don’t bump into someone and you’ll be in trouble..."

"Wait—" Tang Ji raised his hand to stop his rambling, "When did you have a car accident?"

"Just today, in the evening," said Hans.

Tang Ji asked word by word: "Did you hit something black? The car overturned in a ditch beside the road? Then you two got out of the car and found this small town?"

"Yeah, how did you know that?"

Mike intervened in the conversation, and he said in surprise, "A car accident? What a coincidence—I also settled here temporarily because of the car accident."

As soon as these words came out, everyone ran out of the room one after another, at least five or six people.

Everyone talked about it, only to find that everyone's experience is almost exactly the same: because of the slippery road on a rainy day, hit an unknown object, overturned the car and came to this hotel for a temporary rest.

The only difference between these people is that the time of the car accident is not the same. Some people got out of the car last night, and some people happened in the middle of the night before.

Mike wondered: "What's going on?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one could tell why.

There was a look of panic in everyone's eyes.

"Why are they all gathered here?" There were too many quarrels and conversations on the second floor, so Zhang Jianshan, the hotel owner, came up to check on the situation.

"Boss, come and analyze it. What's going on?" Mike directly stated what he had just discovered, and wanted Zhang Jianshan to make a judgment.

Is there really such a coincidence in this world?

Five or six people had a car accident in the same place on the same night, and "coincidentally" stayed at the same hotel?

After Zhang Jianshan listened, he smiled and waved his hand indifferently: "Oh, this matter is quite normal."

Zhang Jianshan naturally put his arms around Mike's shoulders, and said slowly, "The view at the corner of that mountain road is not good, and it is especially prone to accidents and overturns. There are more and more vehicles in accidents here every year. We are a small town on the side of the road. It’s not uncommon to see slippery roads and rollovers in this heavy rain, and I’m the only hotel in the town, so you don’t live here, where do you live? Don’t you think so?”

Zhang Jianshan patted almost everyone on the shoulder.His voice is gentle and warm, which makes people feel comfortable when they hear it. It is especially soothing on this eerie rainy night, as if everything he says makes sense and is right.

Tang Ji frowned subconsciously.Seeing people other than him, their faces gradually softened, their eyebrows stretched, and they all nodded in agreement.

Mike smiled embarrassedly: "Yeah, I made a fuss, it's really normal. Okay, go to sleep."

Hans also smiled and said, "Go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."

Tang Ji: "???"

What's wrong with these people?

After a while, Tang Ji noticed the faint fragrance remaining in the air.This smell is very familiar, he suddenly remembered something, and looked at his brother with wide eyes: "Brother, you—"

Zhang Jianshan's hand secretly pressed Tang Ji's shoulder, signaling him to be quiet and not to talk nonsense.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Zhang Jianshan grabbed Tang Ji's arm, pushed him back to the room, and said in a low voice, "Go in and talk."

Zhang Jianshan had his back against Tang Ji's door, he didn't intend to sit down, obviously he didn't intend to stay for a long time.

"Actually, this matter is really just a coincidence." As a qualified psychological counselor, Zhang Jianshan understands that hypnosis skills should not be used casually. He is thinking about how to fool Tang Ji, "I'm worried about them..."

"Wait!" Tang Ji originally thought that all of this should be his dream. Even if there is no projection of reality, all the plots and characters are related to his subconscious mind.

Judging from his brother's reaction just now, he didn't think he could dream of how his brother performed hypnotism with his own hands.

Moreover, the people in the dream have too strong a sense of autonomy, just like they are living people.

Tang Ji asked directly: "Are you—is it the brother in my dream, or the brother himself?"

After saying this, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Um, what am I talking about? It's so strange."

Zhang Jianshan who was standing opposite didn't find him strange.

On the contrary, Zhang Jianshan looked at Tang Ji in surprise.Zhang Jianshan's mouth murmured, he was too shocked and spoke very slowly, he uttered a few words: "Are you awake? Do you know that you are dreaming?"

"Yes, I woke up this morning. Why do you ask that?" Tang Ji seemed to have grasped some key information, "The others didn't wake up? Are you dreaming too?"

"My God!" The senior brother sighed, and hurriedly pulled Tang Ji to sit down, his eyes glistened, as if he had found some treasure, "You woke up, that's great! Oh, no, it's not good, Things are not going well right now! But it's amazing that you woke up so early!"

Tang Ji: "What?"

Tang Ji has been in contact with mental patients for a long time, and has developed certain professional habits.

When you want to understand a person's true thoughts, it is not enough to just listen to his language.

Fortunately, most people have not received professional training, and their usual demeanor and actions inadvertently betray their true state.

Obviously, the brother's current state is very wrong.

Excitement is really exciting, but there are also many small thoughts.

"Let's put it this way," the brother's excitement eased, he stood up and walked to the window, and stretched out his hand to pull the open window.

Tang Ji tends to think that this is actually the senior brother wanting to use this time to organize his words to cover up some inner thoughts.

Sure enough, after closing the window, Zhang Jianshan smiled and said: "Most people think that these things happened, they are dreaming. When they wake up the next day, they forget about it. Then every day, they go round and round, and continue to have the same dream. But in fact, it’s the opposite, we are all forced into dreams, and we are here to serve the dreamer.”

Tang Ji: "The main dreamer?"

"I created this word," the brother said, "I call the dreamer the 'main dreamer'. Like the current scene in the small town, the story of a passer-by having a car accident and the hotel being repaired is the dream of the main dreamer."

We usually dream, and the role we play in the dream may be our true colors, or it may not be ourselves.

In terms of perspective, there is No.1 or third person.

One thing is for sure, the dreamer will definitely appear in his dream, no matter how he exists.

Therefore, from the moment Tang Ji fell into the dream, everyone he met might be the owner of this dream.

"What is our purpose of appearing in the dream?" Tang Ji asked, "Being an NPC for the 'main dreamer' you mentioned?"

"Well," the senior brother looked at Tang Ji admiringly. Tang Ji was indeed very smart, and he knew everything. "The main dreamer weaves a dream world. We are pulled in by him after we fall asleep. We are the people in his dream, and we are the ones in his dream." Dream plot service."

"Will being injured or dying here affect reality?" Tang Ji asked.

He thought of the arm injury caused by a car accident when he fell asleep yesterday, and the pain did not decrease when he woke up the next day, and suspected that there was a certain relationship between this.

"This is the worst part." The senior brother nodded, affirming Tang Ji's doubts.

If it is two spaces that do not interfere with each other, even entering such a dream is not a big deal, and it can be alleviated through certain psychological interventions.

But if there is interaction and influence between dreams and reality, and the problem of dreams is not really solved, there is no way for real life to function normally.

"To put it simply, if you are injured in a dream, you will feel pain when you wake up. If you die in a dream, your consciousness will drift to the edge of your subconscious, and it will be difficult to come back." The brother said.

Tang Ji nodded, knowing in his heart - death will turn into a vegetable, and it is basically impossible to wake up.This can explain why the former patient of the senior brother turned into a vegetable in the end.

"So every night from now on, I will have this dream?" Tang Ji was very calm, "Do you have a solution?"

"Yes!" The brother nodded affirmatively.

"As long as this dream can be deciphered, the dream will disappear." The brother added, "It's like we usually do psychological counseling, or you treat mental patients. The main dreamer of this dream is Kai De, and now we need to figure out what Kai De is. Why did De have this dream, what did he hope to achieve in the dream. You are also professional in this area, so you can analyze it?"

Cade, the little boy who almost killed Tang Ji at the grave last night, is also the nephew of the hotel owner, brother.

Tang Ji didn't speak, and was silent for a long time.

He looked at his senior brother from the corner of his eye, and saw his right index finger twitching back and forth meaninglessly, indicating that he was a little impatient at the moment, and seemed to want Tang Ji to say something.

To analyze the dreams of ordinary people, a psychological counselor with sufficient psychological expertise is completely competent.

Brother is one of the best.But he sought analysis from Tang Ji, and it can be seen that the main dreamer is not an ordinary patient, and is very likely to be a more serious mental patient.

Tang Ji hooked the corners of his mouth, spread his hands and put on an innocent look: "There is not enough information now, so I can't make sense of it. Why don't we wait until tomorrow, and I'll go find out the situation first?"

Zhang Jianshan was a little unwilling.

"Where are your teammates?" Tang Ji asked, "They didn't sleep tonight?"

"I'm here." Zhang Jianshan said, "I've gone to the guest room to rest. That's it, I won't bother you anymore, just come to me if you find anything."

So the two said good night to each other and went to bed.

Tang Ji lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling in thought.

The meowing continued, and the scratching continued, beating his brain like a long alarm bell.

A dangerous smell permeated from the dense water vapor splashed by the heavy rain outside the window.

The sound of pattering rain seemed to indicate that something was coming.
