There are mythical animals at home to ward off evil spirits

After Qin Nan sent the two of them away, he returned to the backyard and asked Bai Hao curiously.

Qin Nan: "Are you also responsible for treating nightmares?"

Bai Hao: "Normally nightmares don't happen, but he is different."

Qin Nan: "What do you mean? Is there a ghost haunting him?"

Bai Hao: "More than one."

Qin Nan: "Huh?"

Bai Hao: "That's a nightmare cage."

Qin Nan: "Can you speak human language?"

Bai Hao: "Will you come with me to see it?"

Qin Nan was stunned and stepped back, "I'm not going!"

Bai Hao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "This is work!"

Qin Nan would know sooner or later that he could not always escape. Bai Hao looked at Qin Nan's dumb look and knew that he would definitely go.

Because Qin Nan has such a temperament, he will try his best to avoid the things he is afraid of, but he will never avoid his own responsibilities.

Qin Nan spent the whole day worried. Early the next morning, an online car-hailing service arrived at her doorstep.

Bai Hao wears a pair of casual pants, a T-shirt and a windbreaker, and a small black fanny bag on his waist. Qin Nan bought it for him before. Bai Hao doesn't like to carry big bags, and he doesn't like to put his mobile phone in his pocket. It's too heavy and gets in the way. .

Qin Nan was also dressed casually, just wearing a thin sweater and a mid-length black jacket. He didn't take anything but his mobile phone. He didn't know what to take. Bai Hao also looked at his empty hands.

Qin Nan followed Bai Hao to the city with a grimace. Zhou Miao lived in the Neon Community near the business district. The road was busy with traffic and there was a traffic jam for a long time. When the two of them arrived near the community, it was almost noon.

Qin Nan took Bai Hao to eat at a nearby snack bar, and then entered the community to find No. 11, Building 502.

Qin Nan looked at the neon community curiously. There were stone walls, fountain pools, and cobblestone paths at the entrance of the community. The vegetation was diverse. Even in autumn, it was still full of greenery. Each building was about 24 or 5 stories tall, and it looked like it had good lighting.

The two found the floor and came to Zhou Miao's house. When Zhou Miao opened the door, he was alone. He had a roommate who shared a room with him and did not come back.

Qin Nan saw that the house was neat and clean, with no clutter and things placed in an orderly manner, which was as expected.

Bai Hao did not sit down in the living room, but asked Zhou Miao to take him to the bedroom. Seeing this, Zhou Miao had no objection. He also wanted to know about this matter as soon as possible.

Last night was the same nightmare, but he started to feel it. He had no pain from being beaten before, but yesterday he seemed to have some feeling. Although it was very slight, it was not a good thing.

Zhou Miao's bedroom faces the sun, and the bed, wardrobe, bookcase, and desk can all be illuminated by the sun. Bai Hao walked around the room several times. Qin Nan and Zhou Miao stood at the door, looking at Bai Hao. Wandering.

Finally, Bai Hao stopped in front of the desk. There was a desk lamp on the desk, which was shaped like a small house. There was a small tree stick in front of the small house, and an exquisite little birdcage hung on the tree stick.

The birdcage is black, and there is a little bird inside. The feathers have lost a lot of color, and the birdcage looks quite old.

Zhou Miao looked at the birdcage pendant in Bai Hao's hand, "Is there any problem with this?"

Bai Hao: "Gifted by someone else?"

Zhou Miao: "A souvenir bought by a friend during his trip, specially given to me."

"Travel souvenir?" Bai Hao smiled softly, "This is something used to curse people."

Zhou Miao was stunned, "Curse?!"

Qin Nan looked at the birdcage and suddenly remembered the cage that Bai Hao talked about nightmares about yesterday, so it was this cage that gave Zhou Miao nightmares, and this thing was specially given by others. This is the kind of upgrade where you stab someone who hates others. version?

Previously, the desk lamp was facing away from the window, so the birdcage would not be exposed to direct sunlight. Now Bai Hao placed the birdcage in the sun, and then took a lighter from his pocket. Bai Hao used the lighter to burn the birdcage, but the birdcage did not change at all. .

This obviously plastic birdcage didn't react at all when it was burned. It looked very strange. Moreover, with the sunlight constantly shining on it, the color of the birdcage became darker and darker, as black as charcoal.

Zhou Miao was silent for a long time as he looked at the things in front of him that were beyond his comprehension.

Bai Hao held the birdcage and looked at Zhou Miao, "There are still two options. One is to answer the reason for your nightmare, and the other is to destroy the cage and end your nightmare. Both are radical cures. It's up to you to choose. "

Zhou Miao looked at the dark birdcage in Bai Hao's hand, "Why did he give me this?"

Bai Hao: "Although it is not within the contract, it can be given for free. Do you know his past?"

Zhou Miao frowned, "I know."

Bai Hao: "I'm talking about his real past."

When Zhou Miao heard this, he was silent again. He thought he knew the person who gave him the birdcage very well, but now, it seemed that was not the case.

Zhou Miao: "Are everything in the dream real?"

Bai Hao: "It used to be."

Zhou Miao: "Ever?"

Bai Hao: "It seems you want to know the reason for the dream?"

Zhou Miao: "I want to know how that child is, and who... is that woman?"

Bai Hao: "That woman is the child's mother."

Zhou Miao's face sank when he heard this, "How could that be?"

Bai Hao raised the bird cage. In the black cage, the colorful paint on the bird's body became less and less, and it was slowly turning black.

Bai Hao: "The child is dead and the woman is dead. Someone used this cage to trap their souls and created this nightmare cage.

This thing's resentment is so deep that it will drag everyone around him into nightmares. Every nightmare is his nourishment, and he will become stronger and stronger, and his abilities will become stronger and stronger.

I think you should feel that sooner or later, your soul will be trapped in it forever. To put it simply, you will become a vegetative state, with no consciousness and only a physical body. "

Zhou Miao's face looked a little ugly. Bai Hao was right. His nightmares were indeed becoming more and more detailed and in-depth, as if he had already felt pain in his dreams, and he was indeed often in a trance and lacking in energy.

Zhou Miao: "Then how are you going to destroy this cage? Even burning it is useless."

Bai Hao smiled, "Enter the cage, find the real door of the dream, and release the soul inside. The cage will naturally become ineffective."

"Enter the cage? How to enter?" Qin Nan looked at Bai Hao inexplicably.

Bai Hao asked the two to close the door, enter the room, and then draw the curtains. The room was dark. Bai Hao placed the cage on the floor in the middle of the room, and then took out a thumb-sized glass bottle from his pocket, which contained blue liquid.

Bai Hao put a drop of blue liquid on the birdcage, and then the birdcage slowly floated up black smoke to form an oval shape, floating in the air like a vertical mirror.

Bai Hao: "You can go in from here in three minutes. If you want to get out, you can only find the door. I will go in and you wait. If I don't come out in twenty minutes, open the curtains and let the sunlight in."

Qin Nan and Zhou Miao nodded, and then the three of them looked at the watches on the table. Just two and a half minutes later, Bai Hao was suddenly stunned, looked at the door, and walked over quickly, but he was still a step too slow.

"Click -" The bedroom door handle was pressed down, and a person opened the door, and the sun shone in. In an instant, black smoke dispersed, and the four people present suddenly disappeared in place. Then the black smoke slowly dissipated, leaving only the silent room. A completely dark birdcage.
