fear game

Lance had a dream.

In the dream, he was alone, sitting in a small boat, floating, floating, rippling in the center of a lake.Where is this?He felt that this lake was very familiar, as if he had been here before—by the way, it was the lake where Qi Mo went boating together, and it was the artificial lake in Zianini's Mental Health and Sanitation Center.

But it was different from the last time when he and Qi Mo came, that time it was a bright spring day, the sun was shining overhead, and Qi Mo's stalwart body was behind him to rely on.And the surface of the lake that appeared in Lance's dream reflected a bleak waning moon. Apart from that, the surface of the lake was pitch black, with no reflections of green mountains and green waters, nothing.Like last time, Lance wanted to lean over to the side of the boat to see his reflection in the water, but when he lowered his body, there was a thick fog on the lake for some reason. Lost all of Lance's sight.He waved his hands vigorously to try to clear the fog, but the fog was too thick to melt away.When he managed to get close to the surface of the water and waved away some mist to look in, he only saw a piece of darkness—that was not a lake, but a dead darkness, an unknown desolation, a burst of darkness. Confused panic.

At this moment, Lance suddenly felt that a hand was touching his lower back!That hand was malicious, that hand made him tremble and fear!

Lance felt that he had fallen into some kind of nightmare. He struggled to wake up from the dream, tried to open his eyes, and wanted to see that he was lying safely on the bed at the moment, in the small world he was familiar with.He hoped that when he woke up, Xiao Bai was still by his side, and Qi Mo held him in his arms. Nothing terrible happened, and everything was just a nightmare.However... when he really opened his eyes, what he saw was a sight that he couldn't believe——

At this moment, he is sitting in a small boat, on the artificial lake in his dream, of course there is no fog, and a round of moon shadow is reflected on the calm lake, and behind him, there is indeed a person sitting, drenched , not Qi Mo, but that Agent K.

Lance asked loudly: "What are you doing here! Why am I here!"

K's hair and clothes were dripping wet, like a water ghost that just climbed out of the water.He tried to grab Lance's shoulder to calm him down, but Lance shook him off agitatedly.

"Doctor Lance, don't get excited, just sit down and listen to me slowly..."

"How can I not be excited! You people from the CIA, you investigate your case, why do you keep torturing me! Did you make me dizzy, and carried me to the lake in the middle of the night, what the hell? What are you going to do!?" At this time, no matter how gentle and gentle people are, they can't help but swear, if you encounter such a horrible and absurd thing, won't you be angry.

"Listen to me, I really didn't bring you here. Think about it, if I was the one who brought you to this boat, then why am I dripping all over? It's also coming by boat..."

Lance calmed down a bit and thought about it, thinking that what K said had some truth, but there were only the two of them around, who else could it be?

Lance backed away a few steps, staying away from K, as if he was afraid that he would attack him suddenly, and asked suspiciously: "It's not you, so who do you say?"

At this time, K stood up and made a gesture of pressing his hands down, and said slowly: "Doctor Lan, I told you, don't get excited, actually... you came to the center of the lake by yourself in a boat... "

"What the fuck are you talking about!?" Lance himself?The memory before Lance fell asleep was still lying on the stable bed thinking about what wedding gift to buy for his brother. How could he appear on the lake in the next second?Is his memory fragmented?He didn't drink again.

"I swear to God I'm not talking nonsense!" K held up one hand as if swearing, "Dr. Lan, you may... have the habit of sleepwalking, and it's probably been like this for a long time, but the condition was not serious before, you I didn’t find out, and no one told you.”

Sleepwalking?Lance sleepwalked by himself as if he had heard some big joke?How could he be sleepwalking? He has always been... Suddenly, Lance remembered some details, and he became less confident about whether he really had the habit of sleepwalking.

Think about it, think about it, why is Qi Mo still able to enter his room without being noticed every time he clearly remembers to lock the door before going to bed?Why did Qi Mo once ask him, if he said the door was open, would he believe it or not?Why can Qi Mo sneak under his bed every time after entering his room?Also, the hidden compartment seems to have existed before Qi Mo gave him chocolates for the first time. At that time, he asked Qi Mo if he dug it. Qi Mo didn't deny it, but he didn't admit it either. Could it be... Could that secret compartment be dug by himself while sleepwalking?However, would a sleepwalking person have such a clear sense of action?

In psychology, there is a clear definition of the phenomenon of "sleepwalking": sleepwalking is a strange phenomenon in which people get out of bed and act on their own during sleep, and then return to bed to continue sleeping.It is a recognized sleep disorder in psychiatry. The symptoms are generally walking around in the residence in a half-awake state, but some patients will leave the residence or make some dangerous actions.For sleepwalking people, it is more common in men than in women.During sleepwalking, the person involved can engage in very complex activities in action, such as opening doors to the street, taking utensils, or avoiding obstacles without being injured by collisions.As a psychiatrist, Lance is very familiar with the definitions in books, and can even recite them backwards.

In this way, it seems theoretically possible to dig a hidden space while sleepwalking, but what is the logic of doing so?Lance smiled wryly. He remembered that he had asked Qi Mo angrily what was the logic behind his series of weird actions, but now he was reduced to asking himself what the logic was?However, it is too early to conclude that the secret compartment was dug by myself while sleepwalking. After all, there is no evidence to prove this, and everything is just a guess based on K's one-sided words.

Can K's words be trusted?Could it be that he has been following and monitoring himself, and with some ulterior purpose, put himself unconscious on this ship with drugs and the like, not knowing what to do.As for the dripping water thing he mentioned, it is entirely possible that he himself had to go down into the water and come up again for some reason—who knows what these mysterious agents are trying to do.Besides, Lance didn't recognize the CIA's certificate, and he couldn't tell the authenticity. It was even possible that K's words were nonsense from the beginning, and he believed it foolishly, just like he believed in Qi Mo.

Yes, don't panic, then ask him.So Lance asked: "Even if what you said is true, then I'm sleepwalking, what are you doing here!"

"I'm kind," K explained. "You may be an important contact person for us to obtain information from Qi Mo. Of course, I can't watch you have an accident. When I passed by your door today, I saw your empty eyes." Walked out of it, walked to this lake and didn't know what I wanted to do. I sat on this boat and rowed to the center of the lake. I thought you were stimulated by something and wanted to commit suicide. Of course, I jumped into the water and swam to rescue you. You. Fortunately, it is summer now, otherwise I would freeze to death, no, I have to go back and change clothes soon..."

"Passing by? Oh," Lance said coldly, "I think you are following me, not just passing by."

"Okay, okay, I'm protecting you anyway. If I want to hurt you, I have a lot of opportunities to do it. At least you have to believe that I don't mean any harm to you. If I save you and you feel moved by it, you will be with me in the future. Let's cooperate and provide us with more information about Qi Mo. You know, it's not convenient for me as a cleaner to get close to him many times. "

"Then when you saw me rowing, maybe I wanted to come out in the middle of the night to relax. How can you be sure I'm sleepwalking?"

"Because your eyes are wrong, the eyes of ordinary people have focus, but when I climbed on the boat, your eyes were always looking at a certain point in the void, and you didn't even look at me. In the middle of the night, a How can normal people be indifferent when living people come to your boat?"

"You..." Langston paused, "What you said makes a little bit of sense. Then I'll just believe you, I may occasionally have sleepwalking symptoms. But you! Remember to stay away from me in the future, even if I commit suicide while sleepwalking You don’t need to save me anymore, you know? If you still don’t behave well, I’ll reveal your identity to the public tomorrow, and see if they will let you stay in the hospital as a cleaner!”

"Tsk tsk, I really don't know good people." K sighed.

Lance was in a mess. At this moment, he just wanted to go back to the warm and comfortable bed and have a good sleep, hoping that everything that happened tonight was just a dream within a dream that hadn't woken up yet.
