play a game with me

His face was reflected in the mirror, Gu Ye tried to calm himself down, trying to piece together all the words Qian Fei said just now in his mind - the lights were flickering, the person in the mirror was bleeding, and someone was singing.Gu Ye suddenly thought of something. There is only one clue in this game that is related to singing, which is the singer's pictorial that they found in the cabinet.

In order to hide from Zhou Zhou and Ye Tian, ​​Gu Ye casually put the pictorial into his school uniform pocket, and never took it out.He immediately turned out the pictorial and unfolded it flat. The singer in the pictorial looked at him, holding the microphone, as if singing a song.

Gu Ye had a guess. He tried to sing two lines of "Brave Heart" in front of the mirror. He had heard the song a long time ago. He couldn't remember the key and the lyrics were messy. He hummed for a while, but the mirror didn't respond. .He scratched his head, things were a little difficult.

Suddenly, there was a sound from the exhaust vent in the bathroom, which made him tremble in fright, and subconsciously clenched his fingers, almost scratching the pictorial.There was only one sound from the exhaust vent, and it immediately returned to silence.Gu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and flipped the pictorial, and saw a few lines written in pencil on the lower right corner of the back of the pictorial: "The bird can fly, the seed will grow into a big tree, and I have a brave heart..."

This line of lyrics is the chorus part of the song, and the tune is very catchy. When Gu Ye saw the lyrics, he vaguely remembered it.He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and whispered to the mirror, "Birds can fly, seeds can grow into trees, and I have a brave heart."

The light above the head flickered twice immediately, and there was a slight sound from the bathroom. Gu Ye tried hard to distinguish, the sound came from the mirror, it was the voice of a little boy, the boy's voice was very small, his breathing was unstable, It sounds like I'm going to die in the next second, "Birds can fly, seeds will grow into big trees, and I have a brave heart."

The more Gu Ye listened to it, the more he felt the voice was very familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he heard it, which sent a chill down his spine.

When he was defending his voice, the male voice stopped. Gu Ye found that the voice would only appear when he sang, so he could only bite the bullet and continue singing, "Birds can fly, seeds can grow into big trees, and I have a brave heart, a brave heart..."

After singing for the third time, the lights above the head were suddenly extinguished, and the bathroom was plunged into darkness.Gu Ye's eyes went dark, and he fumbled around to determine his position. There was a blurry figure in the mirror, indistinct, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own or someone else's.There is a window on the edge above the bathroom, and a street light is lit outside the window, and the street light is reflected on the mirror, like a candle, the dim light is just enough to make out the face in the mirror.

In the mirror is his face.

Gu Ye heaved a sigh of relief, however, the face he had seen countless times suddenly began to change, becoming strange bit by bit, he tried to blink, but the person in the mirror did not move.Gu Ye's heart was beating wildly, his hands were cold, and he just wanted to turn around and run, but his feet could not move, and he was frozen in place.He forced himself to look at the person in the mirror, and the unfamiliar face gradually became familiar.

The man's skin was pale, his eyebrows were very light, covered by thick bangs, his eyes were short oval, like a fawn, with thick dark circles under his eyes.The man's eyes began to turn red little by little, first the whites of the eyes, then the pupils, and finally the bright red liquid oozed out from the eye sockets and fell down his cheeks.

Gu Ye was stunned, it was Qian Fei.

Qian Fei shed blood and tears, his lips moved slightly, his voice trembled, and he sang in the mirror over and over again, "Birds can fly, seeds can grow into big trees, and I have a brave heart." This song should be inspirational. The song sounds like a desperate prayer, begging God to give him a brave heart, so that he has the courage to live.

Gu Ye froze in place, the next second the lights above his head came on again, and the restroom returned to its calmness just now.

Gu Ye wiped his forehead and broke out in a cold sweat.He pushed the door to go out, Xiao Ding was waiting for him outside the door, and asked: "Why is your face so bad, did you see it?"

Everyone looked at him, but he hadn't been able to clear his mind, so he decided not to say anything for now, shaking his head and saying, "No, it's just that I was scared by myself."

Ye Tian and Tan Lin went in once respectively, but both returned without success.Sun Yue and Sophie didn't go in.

Gu Ye and the others returned to the dormitory. The adventure just now made everyone very tired. It was past nine o'clock, so they prepared to wash up.

Qian Fei was brushing his teeth in the bathroom, while Gu Ye turned on the desk lamp and stared at the biology book in a daze.He is not a coward. If he is afraid, he will let his rationality take over again. He clearly knows that it is just a scene in the game. After drinking a few sips of water, his hands no longer shake.

Gu Ye began to concentrate on thinking about the experience of the past few days.On the first night, he found a poster of a former singer in the cabinet in the infirmary; the next morning, they got the news of the death of their puppy love and the way of death by falling from the rooftop; , these few things do not seem to have any connection, completely independent, and there is no silver thread that can connect them.Gu Ye was at a loss, and his thoughts fell into a deadlock again.

Xiao Ding turned over on the upper bunk and lay on the edge of the bed to see what Gu Ye was doing. Seeing him reading a textbook, he asked him, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Ye pinched the center of his eyebrows and said, "It's nothing, just a biology book."

In front of him is an anatomical map of the human brain, on which the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, front and rear brain, amygdala, etc. are marked.It is marked next to it: the amygdala controls the emotional function of the human body. When a person is sad or clinically diagnosed with depression, the amygdala will be more active.

"Biology," Xiao Ding said, "you are really eager to learn, and you can learn it at this time. The last one I know like you has already entered it."

"Go in?" Gu Ye said, "Where did you go in? The bureau?"

"No," Xiao Ding said, "mental hospital. Xiao Xi, do you still remember him?"

Gu Ye has a little impression. When he was a freshman, there was a classmate with a very withdrawn personality in their class. He was very quiet, and he ignored him when he took the initiative to greet him. It was not ideal, and then he smashed things in the middle of the night. Everyone said that he was under too much pressure, which caused mental problems.

Gu Ye said: "What happened to him then?"

Xiao Ding said: "I don't know, I just heard a few words when I sent the materials to the counselor. It said that his high school is very strict: as long as you don't die, you learn from the dead. His grades are good, but the college entrance examination is very strict. He didn’t perform well at the time. He didn’t get into Tsinghua University and Peking University, so he came to our school. It must have been a shock. After he arrived at our school, he couldn’t think about it. He didn’t sleep at night and wanted to drop out. But his family is not good, and he didn’t want him to come out to work early. He was not allowed to repeat the course, so tossed about half a semester, and finally quit, because he almost had an accident and attempted suicide. I don’t know what’s going on now, it happened two years ago.”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ding sighed, and said, "It's just that if you don't get into Tsinghua University, you will die. As for me? What about me? I'm at the end of the crane, should I jump off the building long ago? But I'm fine too?"

Gu Ye shook his head and said, "This is different. It's not a straw that crushes the camel's back."

Xiao Ding said: "That's true, the doctor hasn't studied it clearly about depression, who knows?" Xiao Ding paused, and suddenly said: "Did you think of something?"

Gu Ye said: "No, my mind is a bit messed up."

The line in the biology book caught his eyes again: the amygdala controls the emotional function of the human body, and when a person is sad or clinically diagnosed with depression, the amygdala will be more active.Lesions of the brain can cause emotional sadness and depression, and prolonged depression will in turn cause damage to the brain, so the cause of depression is still controversial.

People without depression always do not understand the pain of depressed patients. They are naturally cheerful and optimistic, thinking that everyone is the same as them, so they often treat depressed patients with a blaming attitude: why are you unhappy, you are happy Ah, life is so good.However, not everyone's life is sunny and beautiful. This kind of behavior is like reprimanding a person with a broken leg, why don't you run faster?You are not trying too hard.

Gu Ye knocked on the bathroom door and asked, "Qian Fei, have you finished washing?"

Qian Fei replied with foam in his mouth, and said, "I'm done washing, and I'm brushing my teeth. Brother Gu Ye, do you want to come in?"

Gu Ye said, "Can I come in?"

"Sure," Qian Fei opened the bathroom door, Qian Fei was wearing a white T-shirt and checkered shorts, and was brushing his teeth by the sink.

Gu Ye took the toothbrush and glanced at the person in the mirror. Qian Fei in the mirror made him a little scared.He collected himself and said calmly, "I'm afraid you'll be scared in the bathroom alone."

Qian Fei smiled and said, "Now I'm not afraid anymore."

Gu Ye brushed his teeth, he spat out a mouthful of foam, and asked Qian Fei, "Can you sing?"

Qian Fei paused, forced a smile, and said, "You don't sing well, you don't sing very much. Why is Brother Gu Ye asking this? Do you want to listen to the song?"

Gu Ye said: "It's a bit, it's too boring at night."

Xiao Ding outside the door heard the conversation between the two, and shouted: "I want to listen to songs, I will, I will sing for you." Xiao Ding sang: "It takes courage to love someone~~~ to face rumors Gossip~~~~" Xiao Ding's broken voice made Gu Ye almost choke on his saliva, Gu Ye coughed a few times and shouted, "Who gave you the courage to sing? Liang Jingru?" Laugh wildly.

With Xiao Ding interrupting, the atmosphere in the bathroom became much more cheerful. Gu Ye glanced at Qian Fei and pretended to be casual, "Hey, can you sing the song "Courageous Heart"?"

Qian Fei's face suddenly changed: "Not very good." He silently put the toothbrush back in his hand and said, "Brother Gu Ye, why are you asking me this?"

Gu Ye said: "It's nothing, I just wanted to hear it suddenly."
