[Funato] Dream Analysis
Chapter 5 Hexagram
This weird place was so weird that Fei Du flinched inexplicably.
He was soaked when he broke free from the sea water and got up with difficulty, and the soaked clothes hung heavily on his body, as if deliberately dragging his steps.Night Breeze easily exchanged the remaining temperature on his body with the smell of mutton, and Fei Du kept shaking, subconsciously looking around for Luo Wenzhou's possible location at this moment.
After walking a little distance along the coast and turning a corner, he was able to see a dark shadow in the distance.There was no light there, and he identified it for a long time by the reflection of the moonlight on the sea level, and even had the illusion that it was a monster entrenched in the abyss, before he confirmed that there was indeed a lighthouse standing there.
His hands were almost so cold that he lost consciousness, but his brain hopelessly began to calculate the probability that he would rescue Luo Wenzhou from above—hoping that he would be in time, and that Luo Wenzhou would not enter a deeper dream.
Fei Du climbed over a reef and almost lost his balance due to the seaweed clinging to it.He struggled to stabilize his figure, and was thinking about how to approach the lighthouse, when he caught some other sounds in the rolling waves.
Squeak, squeak—it sounds like the sound of old wooden boards that have been corroded for many years due to constant stress.Fei Du got down from the rock again, and stepped into the fine sand with both feet.Following the prestige, he saw a dilapidated small wooden boat slowly running aground on the coast under his gaze.Fei Du suppressed the repeated voice in his head, checked around the boat, and then accepted this somewhat crude tool resignedly.
The moment the seagulls circled over, Fei Du raised his head and noticed the stars all over the sky.Now he was sure that there was indeed such a lighthouse next to his clinic - because he was so familiar with the bright stars above his head.
As expected, when he arrived at the lighthouse, he found that there was no one there, only the rusty iron gate waiting for him silently.Fei Du didn't push the door open first, because he noticed a piece of paper, which was pierced through the center by a steel nail, and was firmly fixed at the iron door at the level of his sight.The steel nail is only surrounded by an irregular quadrilateral of unknown meaning. The four sides use crayons of different colors, which looks like a child's comic book.Fei Du tried his best to remove the steel nails—because he was extremely curious about what the steel nails covered, but the surrounding area was really desolate, and he lacked tools, so he had no choice but to pin his hopes on the space behind the door.
The door was not locked, and he opened it very easily.It was pitch black inside, except for the wandering dust exposed to the thin coolness of the moonlight.Fei Du covered his mouth and nose with his hands, his pupils slightly adjusted to the world without light, and then he accidentally discovered a flashlight hanging on the wall made of stone bricks.
Seems to be going well so far.He hinted at himself thus, and then started to throw his figure into the gloom.
The next moment, the iron door locked tightly with a "bang" while he was not paying attention.Fei Du frowned reflexively, and didn't turn his body backwards—the common elements in this kind of horror movies didn't seem to cause him much substantive fear, but his mind rebelliously imagined that the lighthouse was more than just On the surface, it seems that it has something to do with Luo Wenzhou.
Assuming the answer does exist here, then this matter is not as simple as just rescuing Luo Wenzhou.
Fei Du turned on the flashlight, so that the specific situation around him could be slowly seen.He took another two steps forward, and then noticed a lonely book on the wooden table beside the spiral staircase.He leaned over, shone a flashlight on the cover, and saw clearly the book he recognized.Both Teacher Bai and Professor Mu used it as a textbook.Fei Du casually flipped through it a few times, and then got a page of sticky notes from the stack of papers.
Counselor's Notes:
In the visitor's systematic delusion, he is always at the very center of the relationship network, and all the objects he cares about will be "pinned" by his side, even if the relationship and logic are carefully considered.
Fei Du didn't know, so, judging from the information on the note, assuming what Luo Wenzhou said was true, that is to say, he really believed that there was a "ghost" playing tricks on him, then the identity of the "visitor" in this note was most likely directed at Luo Wenzhou.
But there is also another slight possibility—perhaps pointing to Han?Although he still doesn't know who Xiang Han is, maybe Xiang Han had sought help from a consultant, but for some reason his death dealt an immeasurable blow to Luo Wenzhou... Naturally, doubts belong to doubts, and when there are no other clues , he had no choice but to put the notes and doubts in his pocket for the time being, and continue walking up the spiral staircase.
In the process, he noticed several groups of photos hanging on the wall.
Several groups of weird photos.
When the light of the flashlight passed over it, Fei Du's nerves almost produced a wave of emotion called "frightened".The photos are all in depressing black and white gray, from the first to the last are the scenes of different people dying——Fei Du got closer and could tell that the man in the first photo died of suffocation.
The second picture shows shī pieces scattered all over the ground in the flower garden, the third picture shows a man who is crushed under the car body and is in great pain, and the next picture returns to broken shī.
He really couldn't imagine why such a weird and claustrophobic picture appeared in Luo Wenzhou's dream. Maybe it was a reflection of his profession, maybe Xiang Han's real cause of death was also hidden here.
No, not right.
Fei Du suddenly opened his eyes wide as he thought of something, and his gaze circled back and forth among several photos.The cut body, the person in the car accident, and the suffocation, all the information coincides with the "Xiang Han" that Luo Wenzhou thought was in the upper-level dream—however, what about murder?
He searched around, but didn't find any pictures of murder on the wall with the obvious cause of death.
What is the reason for this?
Just as this question came up in his mind, Fei Du heard a voice that didn't belong to himself or his brain.The voice was low and depressing, like a hint carefully given by a child playing hide-and-seek.
"come over."
Fei Du looked up, and his piercing gaze managed to touch the black shadow at the top of the stairs.He couldn't see Xiang Han's face clearly, but that didn't prevent him from raising his voice, and said in a scolding and serious tone, "Xiang Han."
Xiang Han tilted his head as if he didn't understand what he was talking about. They confronted each other for a while, and the air was as quiet as a tomb.After a while, Fei Du slowly raised his legs and walked up a step.
Xiang Han on the top floor still maintained a motionless posture.And Fei Du touched upwards at a slow speed. In fact, he was still not quite sure what Xiang Han was in front of him. He just asked, "Where's Luo Wenzhou?"
Unexpectedly, Xiang Han's figure suddenly trembled—this may not be accurate, Fei Du clearly discerned that only his shoulders were trembling involuntarily, and he was clearly laughing.
After laughing for a while, he spread his pale hands towards Fei Du who was touching up a little distance, and said word by word, "It's here with me."
Fei Du felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into a cold pool.Xiang Han didn't stay long, left this unclear answer and left in a hurry, only the sound of his frequent footsteps could be heard in the narrow winding corridor.
When Fei Du reached the end of the stairs, Xiang Han had already disappeared.Fei Du breathed lightly, circled the flashlight around the top floor, and then noticed something dazzlingly white on the surface where Xiang Han was just now.
He walked over and found that it was the second note.
This time I only wrote three words in immature but serious handwriting: I dare not.
Fei Du had no choice but to keep this note.He was about to back up to the stairs to see if he had missed any information, but what was happening in front of him clearly grabbed his attention.
He walked forward, passed a few closed small lattice windows, and took advantage of the moonlight dripping outside the windows to build his courage.In fact, he wasn't afraid at all. As a materialist, Fei Du naturally didn't believe in ghosts in this world. What's more, he was very clear that he was in a dream. Even though it didn't sound scientific, the ghost was indeed someone. Subconscious projections.
But that doesn't mean he's without fear.
This is actually very understandable, because people are born with a fear of darkness.
He stepped forward, walked towards the unknown along the circular corridor, then stopped in front of the second wooden door he encountered, and turned sideways.
There is a cold and rusty combination lock hanging on the handle of a red-painted wooden door in front of him. From his current angle, there are exactly two other doors on the left and right—this is the position Luo Wenzhou told him just now, but Xiang Han and Luo Wenzhou None here.
Fei Du moved a little closer to the door, bent down to observe the combination lock.It was a six-digit hand-dial combination lock that looked old, and the golden paint on the lock body had faded a lot, revealing the color of the black hole inside.
Fei Du tried to input the six-digit number that first flashed through his mind into it, but there was no surprise and no reaction at all.He also listened attentively for a while, but there was only a dead silence inside the door.
Suddenly, there was another rush of footsteps not far from the right.
"Who?" he asked.
Such quick and high-profile footsteps could tell it could not be Luo Wenzhou.Fei Du strolled in that direction, but before he arrived, he was attracted by more than half of his attention by the third door.
This door looked the same as the first one, and it even had the same seal - if it wasn't for an extra note, it would never have attracted his attention.
Fei Du walked over and finished reading the third sticky note at a place where he was level with himself.
■■'s diary:
What people are afraid of, even if they are invisible and intangible at present, will always be fed back in another way.
It seemed that something icy and cold broke through layers of camouflage and easily grabbed Fei Du's deepest fear.At this moment, he could somewhat understand why Luo Wenzhou's reaction would be so violent, because he himself was not much better at the moment.He didn't have time to think about it, because under his uncontrollable rapid breathing, the things locked inside the door had obviously gone into a riot, growling back and forth, as if they wanted to break through the barrier.
Everything around seemed to be reduced to a slow time, Fei Du tried his best to control the density of cold sweat on his forehead, and tried his best not to make any sound.
It was rare for him to follow the instinct of avoiding danger without hesitation, suddenly raised his stiff legs, and ran towards a safe direction.
He didn't have time to think about it.
Why is the handwriting on the third note clean and neat, with dots, horizontal strokes, and strokes all carrying a unique charm—it is his own handwriting that he is very familiar with.
Immediately afterwards, Fei Du heard the sound of the left and right wooden doors being opened from the inside.
Fei Du panted heavily, and glanced back, the two ghosts were still following him, not far behind.
What does it feel like to be chased by a ghost?This question popped up in his mind out of time, thinking that now he has the capital to answer it.Behind them were two groups of pale-faced, protruding eye whites, blood-stained, unidentified creatures floating in illusion, Fei Du was willing to call them "ghosts" collectively.
The violent running won back a little bit of his sanity under the adrenaline rush.But he was forced into a loop of circular corridors inside the lighthouse, and the endless corridors were exhausting him.
And now, Fei Du has passed through those three doors no less than ten times—thanks to the ghost hitting the wall, he is having fun in his bitterness, and at this moment he has clearly understood the structure of the top floor of the lighthouse.Assuming that the top floor of the lighthouse is divided into two symmetrical parts, three wooden doors not far apart are on one side, and only one room is built on the other side.Perhaps the only room occupies three times the size of an ordinary room, as long as it can be opened, at least it will be saved for now.
Just as he was thinking this way, suddenly, what he expected happened so quietly.
Fei Du quickly shuttled inside, not forgetting to lock the door with his backhand.His heart was still beating violently due to deep fear, and cold sweat kept breaking out all over his body.Fei Du was rarely in such a state of embarrassment. He pressed his back against the door, almost unable to support the weight of his whole body.
There were screams and dull knocking on the door, Fei Du was startled, and his body fell to the ground.He couldn't help but dragged his tired legs and took two steps back, clutching the flashlight tightly as if he was grasping the source of life.
"Open... the door..."
A hoarse voice sounded, as if it came from hell and Fei Du's long-lasting nightmare.A wooden door was chiseled and rattled loudly. Fei Du was frightened and wanted to stand up, but the sound suddenly changed again.
"Open...the door,...the door, open the door," the dullness turned into a drizzle knocking on the window, as if the tone had been forcibly raised, and turned into a call he was familiar with: "Open the door, it's me. Fei Du? Baby, Stop making trouble, open the door quickly, I'm worried about you..."
It was Luo Wenzhou's voice.
Fei Du couldn't help but put his palms on his face, causing some emotions to well up in his eyes almost instantly.
But at the same time, he was very clear that that was not the real Luo Wenzhou.He only felt that he was tired, and all the cells in his body seemed to relax because of his escape.
He closed his eyes hesitantly.
Luo Wenzhou...
By the way, Luo Wenzhou.
Fei Du suddenly woke up.He came here to bring Luo Wenzhou back completely, and he must not fall asleep here, because if he falls into the lost realm, all previous efforts will be wasted.
So he forced himself to ignore the unpredictable voices at the door, staggered and struggled to get up and observe the surrounding environment.The semi-circular room is so spacious that it even has a floor-to-ceiling window in front of it.
He frowned, and walked towards the work table in front of the window, and couldn't help recalling everything he had just encountered.Those two people—no, ghost, one of them has drooping eyes and a stooped figure. If ghost is really the soul of a person after death, then he must have been terminally ill during his lifetime.
As for the other, Fei Du was not willing to think about it.He resented the familiarity that rose in his horror as it approached.Its outfits, movements, and forms all reminded Fei Du of himself.
So he used the narrow light of the flashlight to inspect the desktop for sticky notes—yes, sticky notes.He had a hunch that all the answers were listed behind the door with the six-digit code, including Luo Wenzhou who was hidden by Xiang Han.The password for the lock is most likely written on a sticky note.
He almost turned the wooden table upside down, and the only useful thing he found was a death certificate.He carefully put it away, hoping that when he showed it to Luo Wenzhou, the other party would truly accept the fact that Xiang Han was dead.
Where could the sticky note be?
"Why don't you look for the pencil case?" Suddenly a voice asked him.He remembered this voice - "Xiang Han".Fei Du raised his head vigilantly, but the surroundings were deserted, and there was no one else but him.
Pencil case?
Fei Du was suspicious, and an old cloth pencil case appeared in the center of the table.He gently opened the zipper, and a note came into view.He unfolded the curled note, and saw the three strings of passwords on it with the help of the cold white flashlight.
And under one of the passwords, even if it is very shallow, it cannot be ignored by people.
Looking up suddenly, the air around him seemed to freeze into sadness.
Fei Du forgot how he mustered up the courage to open the door, all his strength was lost, and the harassment outside the door also quietly stopped.Anyway, when he opened the door, there was only a full-length mirror outside.
A mirror reflected his pale face.
Fei Du stared at his embarrassing self in the mirror, at the corners of his dejected lips, his sweaty forehead hair, and his trembling hands.The moonlight was still so pale that it fell on the ground, and even stingily refused to reflect it to him.
After a long silence, he finally bypassed the mirror.
He seemed to have walked into a projection hall, the old projector creaked, and he was the only one sitting on the blood-red seat in the center.
Suffocation, murder, car accident, broken shī.
A 14-year-old child who couldn't see his face clearly, two monsters with green faces and fangs, a locked room, and the fourth note - a password paper.
The quadrilateral is finally pieced together, what is the probability that the person pierced by the steel nail is Luo Wenzhou?
In fact, there is still the possibility of going on—he is the internationally renowned hypnotist Fei Du, who worked as a profiler for the Municipal Bureau three years ago, met and had a good impression of Captain Luo Wenzhou, but he left voluntarily to study abroad.
And Luo Wenzhou experienced the tragic death of the victim Xiang Han in a certain case, and immediately developed insanity and systematic delusions, thinking that he could see ghosts, but in fact it was regret for his inability to do anything.
His years of self-blame made Xiang Han stronger, and even Luo Wenzhou could see him every time he went out to work—and the last time was at the scene of the arrest of the suspects in the Dahlia case on May [-].Asking Tong Mei for help did not help him in a deeper level of confusion, so the moment the explosion hit became the breakthrough point for everything.
This is the projection of his inner fear, and I——I am his psychiatrist, and I am the one who will bring him out of the abyss.
It all makes sense.
Assuming that the above events exist and are true, then Luo Wenzhou's leg injury is the only and fatal gap.
Lu Jia?no no.It is impossible for Lu Jia to lie to me.
In fact, there is another possibility, which I have never faced—of course it is not that the explosion did not hurt him. It is already very incredible that such a violent explosion only left a disease in his leg.
Under what circumstances would a Luo Wenzhou with both legs be intact?
——Unless he is not Luo Wenzhou.
To be precise, unless he is not this worldline, not the one I am familiar with, Luo Wenzhou who has ailments in his legs.
And with the support of current scientific theories, what situation can produce "another Luo Wenzhou"?
Unless, from the very beginning, I have been in a dream that has been programmed.
And he comes from reality.
Fei Du finally came to the red lacquered wooden door.
He still didn't have any expression—fear, doubt, joy, sorrow, all seemed to be far away from him.The visitor just lowered his waist very dullly, 5-1-6-3-1-7, and adjusted the combination lock to the corresponding position one by one.
With a snap, the lock unlocked.
"Are you ready?" a voice asked him.Maybe it's "Xiang Han", maybe not, maybe it's just his delusion, everything depends on what's behind the door.
He pushed open the door, and the dazzling sunlight poured down. The strong contrast with the dark and gloomy lighthouse made him almost unable to open his eyes. It took him a long time to get used to it, and he hesitated for a long time before stepping inside.
Surrounded by the whispering breeze, soft and bright.There is a piano, a bluegrass, and a thin sheet of music in front of the window.A double bed was placed in the center, the sheets were pure white, and a woman in a bright red dress was lying on it.
He recognized her, and she had entered and exited his dreams countless times, grasping his hand tightly, and kissing his cold cheek with crazy salty tears.But at this moment, the woman was neither crazy nor fussy, she was just lying peacefully on the bed, her pale skin seemed to symbolize how long she had been dead, but her frail wrists were obviously tightly shackled by black shackles all over her body.
Fei Du suddenly felt memories and other impulses rushing up, he took a few steps forward, and hugged her into his arms.The woman was paralyzed in his trembling arms without any response, his eyes were misty and affectionate, soaking the woman's bloody cuffs.
For a moment, he just wanted to shout out freely and fearlessly.
Before the memory could fully unfold, there was another sound of footsteps behind him.
Fei Du suppressed his emotions, turned around quickly, and picked up a pistol - he didn't even have time to think about where the pistol came from, whether it really existed in the room or was produced out of thin air according to his consciousness, he just eagerly took the black pistol The mouth is aimed at the visitor.
The person who came was Luo Wenzhou. His expression was indifferent, and he looked back at him silently and complicatedly.
"Luo Wenzhou," Fei Du realized that his voice was completely hoarse when he spoke, but he didn't know how to speak when the question came to his mouth.His hand holding the gun was pale, and he stared at Luo Wenzhou coldly, "Who are you?"
"……Who am I?"
Unexpectedly, Luo Wenzhou just walked up to him and straightened the quilt for the woman.
Then he turned around, stretched out his hand forcefully, and took Fei Du into his arms, as if he was not afraid of being shot in the chest by him.
He straightened Fei Du's face, and the latter didn't refuse, so he kissed him over and over again, repeating softly between kisses: "...you are the one I plan to spend the rest of my life with."
TBC.
Everyone understands this!Half of the decryption is solved today, and tomorrow I will return to reality and continue to decrypt.
By the way, the specific numbers of the string of passwords are privately set, and the original text of P University did not specify the specific numbers, so I made up a string. 516 is the time of the "Dahlia Case", and 317 is the time when Fei Du's birthday was changed to avoid it being too obvious.I originally said that one of the sources of inspiration was "Inception", but now I can finally talk about another one, which is also "Shutter Island" starring Leonardo. (In fact, the title of the previous chapter has already hinted
If you don't understand it well, I will remind you that you should understand it like this:
Luo Wenzhou: Yes, that’s right, I am an actor.
As for why we did this, we will talk about the real story line tomorrow.
【Currently available information】
①There is no such thing as a person named "Xiang Han", I believe everyone feels it, because Xiang Han is not actually specific to a certain person, but Luo Wenzhou tried his best to plant the thought in Fei Du: the dead are already dead, Those who are alive must continue to live.If the implantation is successful, he will not be able to let go of the red-painted wooden door. If the implantation fails for his claustrophobic mother, then the wooden door will naturally be "Luo Wenzhou" who was caught by "Xiang Han".
②The fourth note comes from Chapter 146 of the original text, Fei Du's mother gave Fei Du a reminder about the basement password, friends who have forgotten it can go and look it up.
③The four sides of the quadrilateral are indeed expressed in the form of four sticky notes, which refer to:
Ⅰ Once cowardly - 14-year-old "ghost"
Ⅱ A Criticism of the Cowardice—The Mother Who Died but Still Was Forcibly Imprisoned
Ⅲ Desire to control the people and things around you-Unfamiliar with Luo Wenzhou, Mu Xiaoqing, Luo Cheng, Teacher Bai, the assistant is Lu Jia instead of Miao Miao, etc.
Ⅳ Deep Fear in My Heart - "Ghost Shadow" by Fei Chengyu and Fan Siyuan
④Asphyxiation, murder, car accident, and shredded shī respectively correspond to the original He Zhongyi case, Su Luozhan case, Zhou brothers case, and Feng Bin murder case. Everything Luo Wenzhou did was to give hints to Fei Du.
⑤Starting from Chapter 1, there are indeed two Luo Wenzhous, namely the real Luo Wenzhou and the Luo Wenzhou in Fei Du's subconscious. In Chapter 1, the one who can talk about their "past" is the subconscious mind, and the one who enters the next dream with Fei Du the next day is the real Luo Wenzhou, which is why the author must make Fei Du start the diagnosis and treatment the next day The reason is that Luo Wenzhou was dropped at night.
He was soaked when he broke free from the sea water and got up with difficulty, and the soaked clothes hung heavily on his body, as if deliberately dragging his steps.Night Breeze easily exchanged the remaining temperature on his body with the smell of mutton, and Fei Du kept shaking, subconsciously looking around for Luo Wenzhou's possible location at this moment.
After walking a little distance along the coast and turning a corner, he was able to see a dark shadow in the distance.There was no light there, and he identified it for a long time by the reflection of the moonlight on the sea level, and even had the illusion that it was a monster entrenched in the abyss, before he confirmed that there was indeed a lighthouse standing there.
His hands were almost so cold that he lost consciousness, but his brain hopelessly began to calculate the probability that he would rescue Luo Wenzhou from above—hoping that he would be in time, and that Luo Wenzhou would not enter a deeper dream.
Fei Du climbed over a reef and almost lost his balance due to the seaweed clinging to it.He struggled to stabilize his figure, and was thinking about how to approach the lighthouse, when he caught some other sounds in the rolling waves.
Squeak, squeak—it sounds like the sound of old wooden boards that have been corroded for many years due to constant stress.Fei Du got down from the rock again, and stepped into the fine sand with both feet.Following the prestige, he saw a dilapidated small wooden boat slowly running aground on the coast under his gaze.Fei Du suppressed the repeated voice in his head, checked around the boat, and then accepted this somewhat crude tool resignedly.
The moment the seagulls circled over, Fei Du raised his head and noticed the stars all over the sky.Now he was sure that there was indeed such a lighthouse next to his clinic - because he was so familiar with the bright stars above his head.
As expected, when he arrived at the lighthouse, he found that there was no one there, only the rusty iron gate waiting for him silently.Fei Du didn't push the door open first, because he noticed a piece of paper, which was pierced through the center by a steel nail, and was firmly fixed at the iron door at the level of his sight.The steel nail is only surrounded by an irregular quadrilateral of unknown meaning. The four sides use crayons of different colors, which looks like a child's comic book.Fei Du tried his best to remove the steel nails—because he was extremely curious about what the steel nails covered, but the surrounding area was really desolate, and he lacked tools, so he had no choice but to pin his hopes on the space behind the door.
The door was not locked, and he opened it very easily.It was pitch black inside, except for the wandering dust exposed to the thin coolness of the moonlight.Fei Du covered his mouth and nose with his hands, his pupils slightly adjusted to the world without light, and then he accidentally discovered a flashlight hanging on the wall made of stone bricks.
Seems to be going well so far.He hinted at himself thus, and then started to throw his figure into the gloom.
The next moment, the iron door locked tightly with a "bang" while he was not paying attention.Fei Du frowned reflexively, and didn't turn his body backwards—the common elements in this kind of horror movies didn't seem to cause him much substantive fear, but his mind rebelliously imagined that the lighthouse was more than just On the surface, it seems that it has something to do with Luo Wenzhou.
Assuming the answer does exist here, then this matter is not as simple as just rescuing Luo Wenzhou.
Fei Du turned on the flashlight, so that the specific situation around him could be slowly seen.He took another two steps forward, and then noticed a lonely book on the wooden table beside the spiral staircase.He leaned over, shone a flashlight on the cover, and saw clearly the book he recognized.Both Teacher Bai and Professor Mu used it as a textbook.Fei Du casually flipped through it a few times, and then got a page of sticky notes from the stack of papers.

Naturally, doubts belong to doubts, and when there are no other clues , he had no choice but to put the notes and doubts in his pocket for the time being, and continue walking up the spiral staircase.
In the process, he noticed several groups of photos hanging on the wall.
Several groups of weird photos.
When the light of the flashlight passed over it, Fei Du's nerves almost produced a wave of emotion called "frightened".The photos are all in depressing black and white gray, from the first to the last are the scenes of different people dying——Fei Du got closer and could tell that the man in the first photo died of suffocation.
The second picture shows shī pieces scattered all over the ground in the flower garden, the third picture shows a man who is crushed under the car body and is in great pain, and the next picture returns to broken shī.
He really couldn't imagine why such a weird and claustrophobic picture appeared in Luo Wenzhou's dream. Maybe it was a reflection of his profession, maybe Xiang Han's real cause of death was also hidden here.
No, not right.

What is the reason for this?
Just as this question came up in his mind, Fei Du heard a voice that didn't belong to himself or his brain.The voice was low and depressing, like a hint carefully given by a child playing hide-and-seek.
"come over."
Fei Du looked up, and his piercing gaze managed to touch the black shadow at the top of the stairs.He couldn't see Xiang Han's face clearly, but that didn't prevent him from raising his voice, and said in a scolding and serious tone, "Xiang Han."
Xiang Han tilted his head as if he didn't understand what he was talking about. They confronted each other for a while, and the air was as quiet as a tomb.After a while, Fei Du slowly raised his legs and walked up a step.
Xiang Han on the top floor still maintained a motionless posture.And Fei Du touched upwards at a slow speed. In fact, he was still not quite sure what Xiang Han was in front of him. He just asked, "Where's Luo Wenzhou?"
Unexpectedly, Xiang Han's figure suddenly trembled—this may not be accurate, Fei Du clearly discerned that only his shoulders were trembling involuntarily, and he was clearly laughing.
After laughing for a while, he spread his pale hands towards Fei Du who was touching up a little distance, and said word by word, "It's here with me."
Fei Du felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into a cold pool.Xiang Han didn't stay long, left this unclear answer and left in a hurry, only the sound of his frequent footsteps could be heard in the narrow winding corridor.
When Fei Du reached the end of the stairs, Xiang Han had already disappeared.Fei Du breathed lightly, circled the flashlight around the top floor, and then noticed something dazzlingly white on the surface where Xiang Han was just now.
He walked over and found that it was the second note.
This time I only wrote three words in immature but serious handwriting: I dare not.
Fei Du had no choice but to keep this note.He was about to back up to the stairs to see if he had missed any information, but what was happening in front of him clearly grabbed his attention.
He walked forward, passed a few closed small lattice windows, and took advantage of the moonlight dripping outside the windows to build his courage.In fact, he wasn't afraid at all. As a materialist, Fei Du naturally didn't believe in ghosts in this world. What's more, he was very clear that he was in a dream. Even though it didn't sound scientific, the ghost was indeed someone. Subconscious projections.
But that doesn't mean he's without fear.
This is actually very understandable, because people are born with a fear of darkness.
He stepped forward, walked towards the unknown along the circular corridor, then stopped in front of the second wooden door he encountered, and turned sideways.
There is a cold and rusty combination lock hanging on the handle of a red-painted wooden door in front of him. From his current angle, there are exactly two other doors on the left and right—this is the position Luo Wenzhou told him just now, but Xiang Han and Luo Wenzhou None here.
Fei Du moved a little closer to the door, bent down to observe the combination lock.It was a six-digit hand-dial combination lock that looked old, and the golden paint on the lock body had faded a lot, revealing the color of the black hole inside.

Suddenly, there was another rush of footsteps not far from the right.
"Who?" he asked.
Such quick and high-profile footsteps could tell it could not be Luo Wenzhou.Fei Du strolled in that direction, but before he arrived, he was attracted by more than half of his attention by the third door.
This door looked the same as the first one, and it even had the same seal - if it wasn't for an extra note, it would never have attracted his attention.
Fei Du walked over and finished reading the third sticky note at a place where he was level with himself.
■■'s diary:
What people are afraid of, even if they are invisible and intangible at present, will always be fed back in another way.
It seemed that something icy and cold broke through layers of camouflage and easily grabbed Fei Du's deepest fear.At this moment, he could somewhat understand why Luo Wenzhou's reaction would be so violent, because he himself was not much better at the moment.He didn't have time to think about it, because under his uncontrollable rapid breathing, the things locked inside the door had obviously gone into a riot, growling back and forth, as if they wanted to break through the barrier.
Everything around seemed to be reduced to a slow time, Fei Du tried his best to control the density of cold sweat on his forehead, and tried his best not to make any sound.
It was rare for him to follow the instinct of avoiding danger without hesitation, suddenly raised his stiff legs, and ran towards a safe direction.
He didn't have time to think about it.
Why is the handwriting on the third note clean and neat, with dots, horizontal strokes, and strokes all carrying a unique charm—it is his own handwriting that he is very familiar with.
Immediately afterwards, Fei Du heard the sound of the left and right wooden doors being opened from the inside.
Fei Du panted heavily, and glanced back, the two ghosts were still following him, not far behind.
What does it feel like to be chased by a ghost?This question popped up in his mind out of time, thinking that now he has the capital to answer it.Behind them were two groups of pale-faced, protruding eye whites, blood-stained, unidentified creatures floating in illusion, Fei Du was willing to call them "ghosts" collectively.
The violent running won back a little bit of his sanity under the adrenaline rush.But he was forced into a loop of circular corridors inside the lighthouse, and the endless corridors were exhausting him.
And now, Fei Du has passed through those three doors no less than ten times—thanks to the ghost hitting the wall, he is having fun in his bitterness, and at this moment he has clearly understood the structure of the top floor of the lighthouse.Assuming that the top floor of the lighthouse is divided into two symmetrical parts, three wooden doors not far apart are on one side, and only one room is built on the other side.Perhaps the only room occupies three times the size of an ordinary room, as long as it can be opened, at least it will be saved for now.
Just as he was thinking this way, suddenly, what he expected happened so quietly.
Fei Du quickly shuttled inside, not forgetting to lock the door with his backhand.His heart was still beating violently due to deep fear, and cold sweat kept breaking out all over his body.Fei Du was rarely in such a state of embarrassment. He pressed his back against the door, almost unable to support the weight of his whole body.
There were screams and dull knocking on the door, Fei Du was startled, and his body fell to the ground.He couldn't help but dragged his tired legs and took two steps back, clutching the flashlight tightly as if he was grasping the source of life.
"Open... the door..."
A hoarse voice sounded, as if it came from hell and Fei Du's long-lasting nightmare.A wooden door was chiseled and rattled loudly. Fei Du was frightened and wanted to stand up, but the sound suddenly changed again.
"Open...the door,...the door, open the door," the dullness turned into a drizzle knocking on the window, as if the tone had been forcibly raised, and turned into a call he was familiar with: "Open the door, it's me. Fei Du? Baby, Stop making trouble, open the door quickly, I'm worried about you..."
It was Luo Wenzhou's voice.
Fei Du couldn't help but put his palms on his face, causing some emotions to well up in his eyes almost instantly.
But at the same time, he was very clear that that was not the real Luo Wenzhou.He only felt that he was tired, and all the cells in his body seemed to relax because of his escape.
He closed his eyes hesitantly.
Luo Wenzhou...
By the way, Luo Wenzhou.
Fei Du suddenly woke up.He came here to bring Luo Wenzhou back completely, and he must not fall asleep here, because if he falls into the lost realm, all previous efforts will be wasted.
So he forced himself to ignore the unpredictable voices at the door, staggered and struggled to get up and observe the surrounding environment.The semi-circular room is so spacious that it even has a floor-to-ceiling window in front of it.
He frowned, and walked towards the work table in front of the window, and couldn't help recalling everything he had just encountered.Those two people—no, ghost, one of them has drooping eyes and a stooped figure. If ghost is really the soul of a person after death, then he must have been terminally ill during his lifetime.
As for the other, Fei Du was not willing to think about it.He resented the familiarity that rose in his horror as it approached.Its outfits, movements, and forms all reminded Fei Du of himself.
So he used the narrow light of the flashlight to inspect the desktop for sticky notes—yes, sticky notes.He had a hunch that all the answers were listed behind the door with the six-digit code, including Luo Wenzhou who was hidden by Xiang Han.The password for the lock is most likely written on a sticky note.
He almost turned the wooden table upside down, and the only useful thing he found was a death certificate.He carefully put it away, hoping that when he showed it to Luo Wenzhou, the other party would truly accept the fact that Xiang Han was dead.
Where could the sticky note be?
"Why don't you look for the pencil case?" Suddenly a voice asked him.He remembered this voice - "Xiang Han".Fei Du raised his head vigilantly, but the surroundings were deserted, and there was no one else but him.
Pencil case?
Fei Du was suspicious, and an old cloth pencil case appeared in the center of the table.He gently opened the zipper, and a note came into view.He unfolded the curled note, and saw the three strings of passwords on it with the help of the cold white flashlight.
And under one of the passwords, even if it is very shallow, it cannot be ignored by people.
Looking up suddenly, the air around him seemed to freeze into sadness.
Fei Du forgot how he mustered up the courage to open the door, all his strength was lost, and the harassment outside the door also quietly stopped.Anyway, when he opened the door, there was only a full-length mirror outside.
A mirror reflected his pale face.
Fei Du stared at his embarrassing self in the mirror, at the corners of his dejected lips, his sweaty forehead hair, and his trembling hands.The moonlight was still so pale that it fell on the ground, and even stingily refused to reflect it to him.
After a long silence, he finally bypassed the mirror.
He seemed to have walked into a projection hall, the old projector creaked, and he was the only one sitting on the blood-red seat in the center.
Suffocation, murder, car accident, broken shī.
A 14-year-old child who couldn't see his face clearly, two monsters with green faces and fangs, a locked room, and the fourth note - a password paper.
The quadrilateral is finally pieced together, what is the probability that the person pierced by the steel nail is Luo Wenzhou?
In fact, there is still the possibility of going on—he is the internationally renowned hypnotist Fei Du, who worked as a profiler for the Municipal Bureau three years ago, met and had a good impression of Captain Luo Wenzhou, but he left voluntarily to study abroad.
And Luo Wenzhou experienced the tragic death of the victim Xiang Han in a certain case, and immediately developed insanity and systematic delusions, thinking that he could see ghosts, but in fact it was regret for his inability to do anything.
His years of self-blame made Xiang Han stronger, and even Luo Wenzhou could see him every time he went out to work—and the last time was at the scene of the arrest of the suspects in the Dahlia case on May [-].Asking Tong Mei for help did not help him in a deeper level of confusion, so the moment the explosion hit became the breakthrough point for everything.
This is the projection of his inner fear, and I——I am his psychiatrist, and I am the one who will bring him out of the abyss.
It all makes sense.
Assuming that the above events exist and are true, then Luo Wenzhou's leg injury is the only and fatal gap.
Lu Jia?no no.It is impossible for Lu Jia to lie to me.
In fact, there is another possibility, which I have never faced—of course it is not that the explosion did not hurt him. It is already very incredible that such a violent explosion only left a disease in his leg.
Under what circumstances would a Luo Wenzhou with both legs be intact?
——Unless he is not Luo Wenzhou.
To be precise, unless he is not this worldline, not the one I am familiar with, Luo Wenzhou who has ailments in his legs.
And with the support of current scientific theories, what situation can produce "another Luo Wenzhou"?
Unless, from the very beginning, I have been in a dream that has been programmed.
And he comes from reality.
Fei Du finally came to the red lacquered wooden door.
He still didn't have any expression—fear, doubt, joy, sorrow, all seemed to be far away from him.The visitor just lowered his waist very dullly, 5-1-6-3-1-7, and adjusted the combination lock to the corresponding position one by one.
With a snap, the lock unlocked.
"Are you ready?" a voice asked him.Maybe it's "Xiang Han", maybe not, maybe it's just his delusion, everything depends on what's behind the door.
He pushed open the door, and the dazzling sunlight poured down. The strong contrast with the dark and gloomy lighthouse made him almost unable to open his eyes. It took him a long time to get used to it, and he hesitated for a long time before stepping inside.
Surrounded by the whispering breeze, soft and bright.There is a piano, a bluegrass, and a thin sheet of music in front of the window.A double bed was placed in the center, the sheets were pure white, and a woman in a bright red dress was lying on it.
He recognized her, and she had entered and exited his dreams countless times, grasping his hand tightly, and kissing his cold cheek with crazy salty tears.But at this moment, the woman was neither crazy nor fussy, she was just lying peacefully on the bed, her pale skin seemed to symbolize how long she had been dead, but her frail wrists were obviously tightly shackled by black shackles all over her body.
Fei Du suddenly felt memories and other impulses rushing up, he took a few steps forward, and hugged her into his arms.The woman was paralyzed in his trembling arms without any response, his eyes were misty and affectionate, soaking the woman's bloody cuffs.
For a moment, he just wanted to shout out freely and fearlessly.
Before the memory could fully unfold, there was another sound of footsteps behind him.
Fei Du suppressed his emotions, turned around quickly, and picked up a pistol - he didn't even have time to think about where the pistol came from, whether it really existed in the room or was produced out of thin air according to his consciousness, he just eagerly took the black pistol The mouth is aimed at the visitor.
The person who came was Luo Wenzhou. His expression was indifferent, and he looked back at him silently and complicatedly.
"Luo Wenzhou," Fei Du realized that his voice was completely hoarse when he spoke, but he didn't know how to speak when the question came to his mouth.His hand holding the gun was pale, and he stared at Luo Wenzhou coldly, "Who are you?"
"……Who am I?"
Unexpectedly, Luo Wenzhou just walked up to him and straightened the quilt for the woman.
Then he turned around, stretched out his hand forcefully, and took Fei Du into his arms, as if he was not afraid of being shot in the chest by him.
He straightened Fei Du's face, and the latter didn't refuse, so he kissed him over and over again, repeating softly between kisses: "...you are the one I plan to spend the rest of my life with."
TBC.
Everyone understands this!Half of the decryption is solved today, and tomorrow I will return to reality and continue to decrypt.
By the way, the specific numbers of the string of passwords are privately set, and the original text of P University did not specify the specific numbers, so I made up a string. 516 is the time of the "Dahlia Case", and 317 is the time when Fei Du's birthday was changed to avoid it being too obvious.I originally said that one of the sources of inspiration was "Inception", but now I can finally talk about another one, which is also "Shutter Island" starring Leonardo. (In fact, the title of the previous chapter has already hinted
If you don't understand it well, I will remind you that you should understand it like this:
Luo Wenzhou: Yes, that’s right, I am an actor.
As for why we did this, we will talk about the real story line tomorrow.
【Currently available information】
①There is no such thing as a person named "Xiang Han", I believe everyone feels it, because Xiang Han is not actually specific to a certain person, but Luo Wenzhou tried his best to plant the thought in Fei Du: the dead are already dead, Those who are alive must continue to live.If the implantation is successful, he will not be able to let go of the red-painted wooden door. If the implantation fails for his claustrophobic mother, then the wooden door will naturally be "Luo Wenzhou" who was caught by "Xiang Han".
②The fourth note comes from Chapter 146 of the original text, Fei Du's mother gave Fei Du a reminder about the basement password, friends who have forgotten it can go and look it up.
③The four sides of the quadrilateral are indeed expressed in the form of four sticky notes, which refer to:
Ⅰ Once cowardly - 14-year-old "ghost"
Ⅱ A Criticism of the Cowardice—The Mother Who Died but Still Was Forcibly Imprisoned
Ⅲ Desire to control the people and things around you-Unfamiliar with Luo Wenzhou, Mu Xiaoqing, Luo Cheng, Teacher Bai, the assistant is Lu Jia instead of Miao Miao, etc.
Ⅳ Deep Fear in My Heart - "Ghost Shadow" by Fei Chengyu and Fan Siyuan
④Asphyxiation, murder, car accident, and shredded shī respectively correspond to the original He Zhongyi case, Su Luozhan case, Zhou brothers case, and Feng Bin murder case. Everything Luo Wenzhou did was to give hints to Fei Du.
⑤Starting from Chapter 1, there are indeed two Luo Wenzhous, namely the real Luo Wenzhou and the Luo Wenzhou in Fei Du's subconscious. In Chapter 1, the one who can talk about their "past" is the subconscious mind, and the one who enters the next dream with Fei Du the next day is the real Luo Wenzhou, which is why the author must make Fei Du start the diagnosis and treatment the next day The reason is that Luo Wenzhou was dropped at night.
