ghost stories

Lu Yuan no longer resisted sitting in the treatment room and chatting with Meng Fanyu.

A lot of things happened to him recently, each of which made him, who never believed in the theory of ghosts and spirits, doubt his mental state.Lu Yuan is very firm. He doesn't believe in the world after death. If there must be something wrong, it can only be himself.

Meng Fanyu walked to the side of the CD player, hesitating which disc to put in, and after thinking for a long time, he took out one from the bottom of the pile of discs. It had no cover and no name, and it looked like he had burned it himself.

The sound of running water came from the speakers, and there was the rustling of fallen leaves as the wind gently swept over them.

Lu Yuan found a comfortable position to lean against, looked at Meng Fanyu who was still standing in front of the CD player in a daze, and asked, "Are you planning to let me hypnotize myself?"

Meng Fanyu turned around and walked to sit next to Lu Yuan, smiled at him, and his voice became soft: "Close your eyes."

Lu Yuan closed his eyes, and there was running water in his ears, and the sound of wind matched Meng Fanyu's deep and slow voice.

"Now you are very relaxed... From now on, your heart becomes very peaceful... You enter another world... No upset, no flustered... You can only hear me now... Your breathing is very deep... "

Meng Fanyu watched Lu Yuan slowly fall asleep, breathing evenly and calmly. In order to prevent the accident from the last time, he then said softly: "Your body belongs to you, and no one else will Make you lose it, nothing will get into your body..."

Lu Yuan looked very calm, without any abnormalities, and his breathing was normal.

"Lu Yuan, can you hear me?" Meng Fanyu glanced at the watch in his hand, and pressed the record button of the recorder.

"Yes." Lu Yuan replied in a soft voice.

"What can you see now?"

"It's dark, I can't see anything, it's getting dark."

"It's not dark, it's bright, and we're skipping school together to go to the back mountain..."

"Ah, I climbed over the wall and went out. I was caught and was fined to run ten laps of the playground."

This is what Lu Yuan and Meng Fanyu used to do when they were in junior high school. They pretended to go to the bathroom during self-study class, then climbed over the wall to climb to the mountain behind the school to see the scenery.Lu Yuan didn't talk very much at that time, he only chatted with Meng Fanyu occasionally while looking at the scenery. It was during those days that Meng Fanyu knew something about Lu Yuan, but he had no family and no memories.

He tried to guide Lu Yuan to recall the things in elementary school, if he remembered correctly, Lu Yuan had absolutely no memory of before the second grade of elementary school.

"Where are you?"

After a long time of guidance, Lu Yuan began to slowly approach the memory of when he was eight years old. Meng Fanyu looked at the time, and four or ten minutes had passed.He squeezed between his eyebrows, tired.

"At home." Lu Yuan replied softly.

As soon as these two words were uttered, Meng Fanyu suddenly raised his head, this is here, before Lu Yuan mentioned only the school and the dormitory of the orphanage.At home, Lu Yuan seldom expresses this way, he usually only talks about the dormitory and "in my room".

"Who else is in the family?"

"It's just me, it's so cold." Lu Yuan frowned.

"Is it winter? Where are your parents?" Meng Fanyu asked patiently.

"I don't know, I can't see them."

He was standing in the dining room. There were a few plates on the table. There were some leftovers in them. They had been spoiled for an unknown amount of time, with white and green fluff growing out. The sink was full of unwashed dishes. Dirty bowls also grew green hairs.

He is very hungry, he feels very cold, he has been eating snacks in the refrigerator, biscuits, plums, but he has finished eating today.

There was no one at home. He walked from the dining hall to the living room. The TV was on, but there was no image, only black and white snowflakes dancing.He walked over and pressed the TV switch, and the TV flickered and turned into a black screen.

He turned back to the bedroom, the door was closed.He pushed it, but didn't push it away.

"Mom," he called softly, patting the door a few times with his hand, "open the door, open the door."

No one answered him, and no one opened the door for him.

He pressed his eyes to the keyhole to see what was inside, but it was dark and he could see nothing.He could only smell a strange smell, which was very bad.It's a bit like those rotten dishes in the dining room, but it's stronger than that smell, and this stench scares him.

He's lonely, he doesn't know why mom doesn't answer the door.

He turned to the living room and opened drawers one by one. He wanted to find the key, the key to the bedroom door.

"I can't find it." Lu Yuan said.

"Can't find anything?"

"I can't find the key anywhere."

"I found it, you found it..." Meng Fanyu said, you must have found it, what exactly did you see.

The keys were in my mother's coat pocket, which hung behind the living room door.He held the keys and didn't know which one to use to open the door.He tried it by the handful, hoping to hear the lock open.

"Mom, open the door." He yelled in a crying voice, and inserted the keys into the lockhole one by one.

The door lock finally made a "click" and opened.

He pushed the door, and the door opened a crack, and a gust of cold wind came out from the crack, carrying a strong stench.He took a step back, suddenly very scared, this hellish breath made him dare not make any sound.

It was dark in the bedroom and the curtains were drawn.But he still saw it through the open crack of the door.

The scene in front of him made him unable to think, unable to move.

Mom in pajamas hanging from a chandelier.

Dad, who was also in pajamas, threw himself at his mother's feet.

"Mom..." He opened the door tremblingly.

Mother's neck was bent at an angle that was almost broken, her eyes were protruding and turned gray, but she was still staring.

blood.

Dad's whole body was soaked in blood, and the clothes on his body had turned dark red.

"Ah—" he finally let out a terrified cry from his throat.

Meng Fanyu jumped up and rushed over to hug Lu Yuan who was struggling in a deep sleep, his clothes were already soaked in sweat.Lu Yuan struggled so hard that Meng Fanyu could hardly hold him down.

"Lu Yuan, listen to my voice, listen to me." Meng Fanyu regretted that he didn't control in time just now, he was too anxious, now Lu Yuan's condition is very dangerous, he can no longer hear Meng Fanyu's voice at all.

The scene Lu Yuan saw was a big shock to him. When he faced all this, he was not the forensic doctor who can calmly face the corpse. Everything he experienced was just Lu Yuan when he was eight years old. felt.

Just an eight-year-old who lost his parents at the same time and faced such a tragedy all by himself.

Meng Fanyu pressed Lu Yuan on the sofa, but Lu Yuan struggled with great strength, he had been trained, and now in this state of extreme panic, the burst of strength made Meng Fanyu almost thrown out several times.

The number of times Meng Fanyu hypnotizes patients is not infrequent. He even treated patients who insisted on going back to their previous lives to see them. first encounter.

He had to wake up immediately, it was too dangerous to go on like this, Meng Fanyu let go of Lu Yuan, rushed to the CD player, and pressed it a few times.The sound of running water and wind just now disappeared, and the sound that came out again turned into an extremely low rustling sound, which was almost indistinguishable if one didn't listen carefully.

After this sound reached Lu Yuan's ears, he finally stopped struggling, and his body, which had been tense all the time, slowly softened.After a few minutes, the breath returned to its previous rate.

"Lu Yuan, did you hear me?" Meng Fanyu walked over, wiped the sweat off Lu Yuan's forehead, and asked.

"heard it."

"Okay, now you are still very relaxed and comfortable, you can open your eyes and wake up as if you slept in in the morning."

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, but he still lay there without moving, and Meng Fanyu didn't make a sound, just got up and turned off the CD player.The treatment room was very quiet. Lu Yuan was stunned for a long time before turning his head to Meng Fanyu: "Am I dreaming or is it real?"

He could remember what he saw just now, the kind of despair and fear that he was on the scene, and the strong sense of loneliness and helplessness that made him unable to recover for a long time.This is his business?his home?his parents?What he saw was a certain memory that he had forgotten?

"This is your memory." Meng Fanyu poured a glass of water and handed it to him.If there is no accident, this is the reason why Lu Yuan lost his memory. At the age of eight, he could not accept and face the tragic situation of both parents dying in the bedroom, so he sealed this memory forever.

"Just because of this?" Lu Yuan was a little confused, was it just because of this incident?If it is only because of this, how can he explain his dreams, the voices he keeps hearing, the fragrance of flowers he smells, he does not understand psychology, can these cause his current hallucinations?

"At present, it seems that this is the only thing. I don't know if there is anything else in the future."

"Then continue," Lu Yuan waved his hand, "Go on..."

"Another day, not today." Meng Fanyu interrupted him, lighting a cigarette.Lu Yuan can no longer do hypnosis, not only today, but also in the future, it is too dangerous.If something had happened before, Lu Yuan's state might never return to a normal state, and it was impossible for him to use extraordinary means to wake up Lu Yuan every time.

"Why not?" Lu Yuan was a little puzzled. It was Meng Fanyu who wanted him to do hypnosis all along. Now that he was willing to cooperate, he didn't agree to do it again.

Meng Fanyu handed the recorder to Lu Yuan: "Listen."

Lu Yuan listened to the entire recording in silence. He didn't expect that he would have such a strong reaction. He even felt that his reaction was beyond the fear he felt at the time.

"Didn't you wake me up just now, just do the same next time." Lu Yuan didn't want to give up, he felt that he had just touched a small corner of his dusty past, and now he just said that he couldn't continue, he was not reconciled.

"I'm not sure, what if I can't wake you up, you will..."

"Will you go crazy?"

Meng Fanyu didn't speak, took a puff of cigarette, exhaled it slowly, and looked at Lu Yuan through the changing smoke: "If you don't do hypnosis anymore, do you have any ideas?"

"Go check the files," Lu Yuan replied without thinking, "This is not a simple suicide, such cases will be archived."

"Go and check."

Lu Yuan took a sip of water, looked at the cup in his hand, and shook it lightly. The water in the cup made small ripples. Staring at the water in the cup, he remembered something: "Fanyu, I heard The smell that I got here may be crabapple."

"How are you sure?" Meng Fanyu's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, he stubbed out the cigarette, and put his hand in his pocket.

"I haven't figured it out yet," Lu Yuan frowned, "I smelled it at my neighbor's house, and he said it was crabapple."

"Really? Can he smell it?"

"That's what I find strange, why he can smell it, and he smells it all over the room, as well as on his body, but I've never smelled it on him, just this morning..." Lu Yuan recalled carefully After a while, he didn't have much contact with Su Mo, but he never smelled this kind of smell when he stayed very close, "He also said that it was the smell of crabapples buried dead people underneath. ..."

Meng Fanyu didn't speak, just sat quietly.

Su Mo, you really dare to say anything, are you really unscrupulous...

"I'll go first." Lu Yuan suddenly stood up as if remembering something.

"Shall we check the file now?"

"You need to go through the formalities to check the files." Lu Yuan paused, "I want to check Su Mo first."
