escape the nightmare

If the weird voice on the phone hadn't stopped abruptly in time, Lin Feng felt that he might have screamed along with the voice and shouted for help.

Anyway, he held back.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lin?" The weird scream stopped, replaced by a sweet female voice.

Lin Feng didn't dare to act rashly, he covered his mouth firmly and didn't answer, even breathing carefully.

"Is it Mr. Lin Feng's mobile phone?" The woman asked again.

"Strange, is this the number that the platform clearly gave?"

"Could it be that I made a mistake..."

The woman seemed to have fallen into a brief silence because there was no movement on Lin Feng's side.She should have turned on the speakerphone, because Lin Feng heard a "GAME OVER" and a long wail from the other end of the phone: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Lin Feng: "..."

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief in that friendly game-ending sound.

Lin Feng felt annoyed and amused at his surprise.He quickly got up from the ground, rubbed his sore buttocks, and limped forward to pick up the phone.The call interface on the phone has not been hung up yet.

Lin Feng was a little weak: "It's me..."

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Xiao Chen from Horrible Company." The woman was very excited when she heard Lin Feng's voice, "The cooperation with Mr. Lin was very pleasant before, so our company has recently launched a new game. I don't know what Mr. Lin would like to be able to invite Mr. Lin as the beta player and spokesperson."

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he didn't remember which game company Buffy was. After all, the platform usually helped pick up endorsements. Usually, there would be no major problems. Just work.

He had no choice but to hew and haw a few sentences, telling the other party that he would discuss with the platform and think about it.

The woman is also a veteran in the workplace, she didn't keep chasing Lin Feng to ask questions, but finally told Lin Feng that she would first send the general plan and schedule of the game endorsement and trial play to his email, and said that if he was interested, he could contact her at any time .

Lin Feng hummed, exchanged a few more routine greetings, and quickly dismissed the woman.

When he was about to check the circuit, the light came on by itself.

The field of vision suddenly became clear and bright, which made Lin Feng feel relieved.He sighed and reached out to pour himself a cup of hot water.

After drinking hot water, the warmth in the abdominal cavity made Lin Feng, who was so frightened that his limbs were cold, finally regained his senses.

He rubbed his temple vigorously with one hand, pinched the mountain root point with the other, and laughed at himself.

Sure enough, he was thinking too much.In fact, if it was normal, he must have immediately heard that those screams and cries were the BGM in the recently released horror game "Purgatory".It was this game that he broadcast live before the accident.

There was a knock on the door, and an old man's voice came from outside the door: "Property—! Just now the circuit was damaged and suddenly tripped, come to overhaul, is there anyone!"

It turned out that the sound of footsteps and knocking on the door just now was the sound of house-to-house maintenance.

Lin Feng held his forehead, straightened his crumpled clothes and messy hair, and walked quickly to open the door.

Since returning to reality last time, Lin Feng has always felt that his mental state is very bad.Now it seems that it is not very bad, but there is a big problem!He felt that the platform staff's suggestion was indeed correct, and he might really need to see a psychiatrist.

Lin Feng made an appointment with a psychiatrist early in the morning.Since there was a live broadcast in the early hours of the previous night, he just lay down for a while after the game, changed his clothes and went out.

Although the outpatient clinic is far away from his community, but fortunately the subway at this point has passed the rush hour, and Lin Feng can still find a seat in the corner to sit down after getting on the bus.He set an alarm clock and began to take a nap against the wall.

It was rare for him to have any strange dreams, and he hadn't slept so soundly for a long time.

When the alarm clock woke him up, the subway just arrived at the station.

He turned on his phone and checked the exact location of the clinic.When he saw the specific location, he froze for a moment——No. 613, Xiangyuan Road.

……

Coincidence, must be a coincidence.

Lin Feng is still a little scared, he is too sensitive to the three numbers [-] now, he feels that as long as he hears these three words, he will subconsciously want to run away.

But this outpatient clinic was indeed recommended by seniors who have worked with him for many years on the platform. After all, in their line of work, more or less one or two psychological counseling is needed.

In the end, Lin Feng followed the instructions of the mobile phone navigation and successfully found the outpatient clinic.

He knocked on the door, and soon there was the sound of high-heeled shoes inside the door, the handle clicked, and the door opened.

Inside the door is a very handsome girl.It's not very good-looking, but the short sports hair and the white coat make her look very energetic.On the bridge of her nose was a pair of framed mirrors, revealing a scholarly aura in her sophistication.

She held up her glasses, smiled and asked Lin Feng to come in.

Lin Feng looked at the interior decoration.

The overall style of the room really matches a woman, it should be said that this female doctor is very suitable.The warm yellow wallpaper looks very warm under the sunshine.There is not much furniture in the room, only a couch, a coffee table and a few stools.All the furniture is in warm colors, which really made Lin Feng feel relaxed when he came in.

All the psychological counseling equipment are neatly placed on the shelf by the window, and there is a row of books related to psychology standing beside it.

Lin Feng felt that this female doctor should be a very organized person.

The female doctor poured him a cup of hot tea and pointed to the sofa: "Please sit down." She moved a chair and sat opposite Lin Feng.

Lin Feng sank into the soft sofa, took the tea and thanked her.

The female doctor smiled, flipped through the materials in her hand, and said, "You don't have to be so polite, my surname is Shan, it's OK to call me Xiao Dan."

Xiao Dan: "I've read your profile before, and did a little tidying up. You don't have to be nervous, just take it as a chat. Although it's a paid chat, don't worry, it's definitely worth the money."

Lin Feng glanced at her and smiled.

Seeing that Lin Feng still couldn't fully relax, Xiao Dan was not in a hurry, she still maintained an elegant smile, continued her own words in a soft voice, and really chatted with Lin Feng: "Are you a game up master? I heard that those of you who play this kind of game have a good sense of direction and space."

Lin Feng nodded, unable to deny it.It was the sensitivity to space and sense of direction developed from playing games that allowed him to escape from death.

Xiao Dan: "Then let's play a simple game, you take a serious look at this room, and then close your eyes, I will take something inconspicuous from it, please tell me what I took, can you ?”

Lin Feng smiled and said that he would do his best to cooperate.He got up and walked around the room.Out of politeness, he didn't turn over or touch anything, he just watched with his eyes and hands.

He surveyed the room carefully.

Until his eyes fell on the row of bookcases again, he suddenly paused.

The red leather book on the shelf caught his attention.Now he is very sensitive to all red and cowhide books, even to the point where everything is in danger.

The back of his head went numb.

"Do you know "June [-]"?" Lin Feng walked straight towards the bookcase, reaching for the red cowhide book in the bookcase.

"I don't know. What is that?" Xiao Dan's voice came from behind Lin Feng. She seemed to have no idea what Lin Feng was talking about, "A new game?"

Lin Feng didn't stop what he was doing because of her words.With perfect precision he grabbed the book and pulled it from the shelf.As a place was vacant, the book next to it fell to the middle, making a muffled crashing sound.

Lin Feng turned the book over.

There are no words on the cover.Lin Feng was a little surprised. He opened the book and flipped through it. There were some notes about psychology and some traces of markers inside.The book is a bit old, it should be Xiao Dan's class notes when he was in college.

Xiao Dan watched Lin Feng's series of behaviors. She just drank tea calmly without any dissatisfaction, and she didn't make a sound to stop him.

Lin Feng turned his head and saw Xiao Dan's gentle smiling face, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.He touched his nose and carefully put the book back on the shelf.Then he turned around and bowed slightly to Xiao Dan: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

It's him who is like a snake.Lin Feng felt that "June [-]" was going to make him nervous.

"Small things, don't mind." Xiao Shan said, "I have a general understanding of your situation, if you don't mind, let's sit down and continue chatting?" She also stopped talking about the previous game.

Lin Feng nodded and returned to his original position very cooperatively.

Lin Feng was very surprised by what Xiao Dan said next.

Xiao Dan: "You should be a person who is more casual in life, but actually pays more attention to details at certain times. I think what bothers you should be hallucinations. You always feel that there is something following you, and you may even have auditory hallucinations. Appearing, I think it has a lot to do with the horror game you played."

Lin Feng opened his mouth, but Xiao Dan didn't give him a chance to interject. He took a sip of his tea and continued, "You may be a little unhappy when you say this, but as your psychiatrist, I still want to persuade you that games are games. , Life is life. Horror games just use people's fear of being unable to control the unknown to render a sense of tension in a game, and increase the body's hormone levels to hyperthyroidize the body."

"That is to say, what I mean is, don't put yourself in the game too much, especially if you regard yourself as the protagonist of the game. This will indeed have a great impact on your spirit." Xiao Dan raised his eyes and said a word A very methodical analysis said.

"Because none of this is true..."

Xiao Dan suddenly lowered her voice, the reflection of the lens blocked her eyes, Lin Feng couldn't see where her eyes were looking.

Lin Feng was caught off guard by Xiao Dan's sudden change of tone, he was really too easily startled recently.

To be honest, when he registered, he simply filled in basic information such as name, age, job and some phone numbers.

But Xiao Dan accurately stated his illness.Lin Feng couldn't help feeling a chill.

Seeing the doubt and shock on Lin Feng's face, Xiao Dan smiled and put the finished teacup back on the table, explaining to him: "Actually, psychology is the same as playing games with you, and there is no mind-reading technique." , This is all a gimmick of those advertisers. I can infer that you have hallucinations because you subconsciously observed the whole room when you entered the room, and you are used to looking at the corners and some places that are relatively hidden. Where offensive objects are hidden, this is a subconscious self-protection behavior of people with hallucinations. As for auditory hallucinations—"

Xiao Dan shrugged his shoulders: "Guess."

Lin Feng: "..."

Hahaha... Lin Feng showed a dry smile.

Xiao Dan didn't care about Lin Feng's reaction at all, she just chatted with Lin Feng for a while, and finally gave a very, very simple treatment plan.

Xiao Dan: "I think you need to temporarily stop working or reduce working hours. Maybe traveling and sightseeing will greatly help your condition improve."
