Seeing Jun Li's persistence, Zhou Ju was too lazy to beat around the bush. She sighed and spoke slowly, "Luo Zhi and I used to be neighbors. We have always had a good relationship. We grew up together. She is a very cute girl with a simple mind. It's not that difficult to date her."

"Later, when I went abroad, we kept in touch. We would video chat every few days. It can be said that Luo Zhi is extremely important to me. She is my best friend."

Zhou Ju tilted his head and smiled: "Our relationship is just that simple. What's wrong? Are you a little disappointed that you didn't find anything wrong?"

"No."

Jun Li was silent for a long time and then asked: "How is your health now?"

"It's much better than the past few days, but I can't exert much strength. I guess I need to rest for a few more days. However, I can get out of bed and walk normally. I just can't fight recently."

Zhou Ju seemed to hate this feeling. To her, being weak and powerless was equivalent to losing the ability to protect herself. This feeling made her extremely uneasy.

“Actually, I’ve been thinking about a question.”

Zhou Ju looked at Jun Li and said word by word: "Is the person who attacked me really a human?"

Jun Li was slightly stunned, then his expression immediately eased: "Why do you ask?"

"Don't you think it's weird?"

Zhou Ju looked at his arm, which was shaking and difficult to raise, and muttered to himself, "If I was really attacked in the head... why am I so weak all over?"

"Shouldn't I just have a headache?"

"In fact, when the brain CT scan came out, I realized this problem. There was no sign of my brain being attacked, but the pain that night was real..."

"So was it really a human who attacked me? Was it really a human who did it, so I fell into a coma? If it was really a human, then what method did he use to attack me that not only did I not notice anything, but also escaped the CT scan?"

Zhou Ju's senses were extremely sensitive. She lowered her eyes and spoke seriously, "To be honest, I never thought that there would be people who would have nightmares every night... and what kind of nightmare would make a person's whole body twitch... What kind of horrible nightmare would make a person so miserable?"

"Is that old man really dreaming? Or was he attacked by an unknown thing like me?"

Jun Li's heart trembled at the woman's terrifying intuition. He didn't expect that Zhou Ju didn't mention anything weird but every sentence was about weird. When she began to doubt whether this matter was man-made, the matter had already begun to deteriorate.

He forced a laugh and said with interest: "What do you mean? Do you think this matter is driven by some unknown force? Or..."

"Do you think there are evil things in the world?"

Zhou Ju didn't say anything. She didn't refute or confirm it right away. She just smiled meaningfully and said, "It's not up to us to say whether there is such a thing or not. There are too many things in the world that cannot be explained. Humans have made too little progress in exploring the world."

"Actually, I don't think ghosts don't exist. I think it's just that for some reason we can't see them."

Zhou Ju sat up and said in a deep voice: "I don't know if you have noticed a phenomenon. If you search for some strange events on the Internet, you can still find clues, but most of them are deliberately fabricated for gimmicks. If you think carefully about those fabricated stories, you can find something wrong."

"But there are always a few rare incidents that really give you chills after reading them... Are they also made up? How can they make it so flawless?"

"I think there is a possibility that there are ghosts in the world, but only a very small number of people have really seen them... They may have seen ghosts by chance or triggered certain conditions, or they really encountered incomprehensible phenomena and were forced to seek help online."

"But... most people have never seen it, and they will just think it's made up..."

Zhou Ju smiled slightly: "After all, in this world... the right and wrong of a thing is not that important. There is a saying that the truth is in the hands of a few people..."

"It is because those very few people have accidentally glimpsed the other side of the world. When they tell others about those unknown things, most people don't believe them and think they are just a bunch of clowns trying to attract attention."

"However, most people have a herd mentality. It is often unimportant what the truth is. People only believe what they want to believe. What most people want the thing to be like becomes the truth."

She sighed slowly: "So, Jun Li, do you think seeing is believing? Do you think what you saw or what most people said is really the truth of this matter?"

"I have never denied that there are creatures in the world that we have not yet discovered. Maybe only a very small number of people have seen them. It's just that because the majority of people have not seen them, the personal experiences of those who have seen them are regarded as clowns."

"Jun Li, I suspect..."

Zhou Ju narrowed her beautiful eyes and said word by word: "The one who attacked me... and the one who gave the old man nightmares all day long... are creatures that humans have not yet discovered... It can also be understood as... strange..."

Zhou Ju saw Jun Li didn't say anything for a long time and just smiled helplessly. She rubbed her eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "Maybe you may think I'm talking nonsense. After all, we have never seen such a thing as a ghost... I am just making a personal guess. You may also think that I am crazy and my brain is damaged."

"After all... neither of us are among the very few who get to peek into the other side of the world, right?"

"Do not…"

Jun Li raised his eyes slightly and whispered: "I believe you."

"Ok?"

Zhou Ju was stunned for a moment and was a little bit unbelievable, but she quickly recovered and just laughed softly: "You may think that I am an idiot who has been beaten unconscious, so I agree with me against my conscience. Normal people will think I am crazy when they hear my nonsense..."

"Zhou Ju, if I tell you..."

"Are there really ghosts in the world? I have even seen them. Do you believe it?"

Jun Li did not intend to involve Zhou Ju, a woman, in this kind of incident at first, but judging from her calm performance, she was perfectly suited to receiving this kind of information. Her intuition and brain were too sharp, and her thinking and consciousness were clear, not as if she was knocked unconscious.

Zhou Ju frowned slightly and looked at Jun Li's face quietly. After a long time, he said word by word: "I believe..."

"So, are you free to tell me about your experience now?"

...

Jun Li told Zhou Ju all about the previous events. He did not intend to hide anything from her. This woman was too similar to him in both thoughts and actions. Jun Li planned to tell such a smart woman the truth.

Zhou Ju was originally listening to Jun Li talking about those events very calmly, but then her expression gradually changed and her eyes gradually widened.

After Jun Li finished speaking, he looked at the time. More than three hours had passed... No wonder he sounded dry-mouthed.

Jun Li stood up and poured a glass of water. He looked at Zhou Ju who seemed to be still digesting his words and said in a deep voice, "You may think that what I said tonight is just made up by me. As for whether to believe it or not, and how much to believe it, it's up to you."

"I believe you. I didn't say anything for a long time because I just felt it was incredible."

There was no doubt in Zhou Ju's eyes. She really believed Jun Li's words completely. "I don't think you can make up so many bizarre events in such a short time. And these events sound very logical. When people lie and make up stories, their eyes, muscles and fingers will change."

"But you didn't, and one cannot tell the lie backwards, but I believe you can do it."

Zhou Ju took a deep breath, pursed his lips and gently squeezed the quilt: "So the current situation is... there is something fishy going on in the nursing home, and he's got entangled with that old man..."

"That's right. Generally, Gui will not pester someone without a reason. If he pesters someone, he must have done something evil and must have a grudge against him."

Jun Li leaned against the wall and whispered, "Actually, this matter is easy to solve. We just need to investigate what the old man did before he came here. What is his occupation? Check his interpersonal relationships and family background. This kind of thing is not a difficult task for us."

"Um…"

Zhou Ju nodded but rubbed his brows with a slight headache: "I can't move around easily now, and my dad is watching me closely."

"Can you please check this matter?"
