[Fifth Personality] Escape from the manor

It's human, he can't have red blood at all!

The gun in her hand disappeared, and Qiao Yan looked up again and stood in the red church in the past. The statue of Azrael on the altar was watching her quietly.

The statue's face was familiar to her because it was Joseph's.

When she saw that familiar face clearly, Qiao Yan felt that her breathing seemed to have stopped for a moment...

The feeling of suffocation made her want to open her mouth and pant desperately to regain the oxygen.

……

Qiao Yan woke up again on the bed, panting heavily, the feeling of suffocation in the dream seemed to be projected into reality.

She raised her hand to turn on the small desk lamp beside the bed, and after silently looking at the familiar room for many seconds, she slowly understood:

She's back in the normal real world.

There was a light knock on the door, and Qiao Yan's heart tightened instantly. For a moment, the dream and reality overlapped so much that she couldn't tell. Crazy sound:

[Yan, hurry up!The game is about to begin! 】

Her spirit was a little tight, like a string that was stretched to the extreme, and it only needed a little force to break.

……

"Yanyan, what's the matter? Are you okay? Do you want to take some medicine?"

Maybe because Qiao Yan didn't respond for a long time, the people outside pushed the door open, revealing a gentle face.

Seeing her mother's face, Qiao Yan's spirit instantly relaxed, and even her mind felt a little dizzy because of the sudden relaxation.

"I'm fine, Mom, you go to sleep."

Even next to the warm desk lamp, Qiao Yan's complexion didn't look very good, showing a bit of depression. The nightmare haunting her gradually weakened her spirit.

The woman outside the door sighed, and brought a glass of warm water over.She sat by Qiao Yan's bed, and looked at Qiao Yan with gentle and indescribable eyes. Under the warm light of the desk lamp, Qiao Yan could even see the shimmer in her mother's eyes.

Qiao Yan's mother opened the drawer beside the bed, took out a few white pills and handed it to Qiao Yan:

"Take some medicine, maybe you will feel better."

Qiao Yan nodded, and swallowed the pill with warm water.

The mother sat beside her, stroking her hair tenderly and pitifully:

"It's just the college entrance examination, it's nothing special, don't put too much pressure on yourself... When you grow up, you will know that the college entrance examination is really nothing. It's just a small step in our life, and this life is still long... We Yan Yan has always been the best, at least in the eyes of mother, you have always been..."

Qiao Yan was lying on the bed, half of her face was covered by the quilt, she looked at her mother sitting by the bed and said nothing.She didn't feel sleepy, or she didn't dare to close her eyes, for fear that if she closed them and opened them again, she would return to the place where the nightmare started - Oletis Manor.

"Yanyan, go to sleep, mother is with you..."

The mother sat by her bed and watched over her, whispering about trivial things about the parents.

Amidst her mother's nagging, Qiao Yan gradually became sleepy again, and her open eyes finally closed slowly.

"Yanyan, when you were young, your favorite was So Strong. You always had to take the No.1 exam in your class. I remember when you were in the second grade, you were still crying when you got the second one..."

"Others are envious of me and your father, saying that my daughter's grades are so good, she will definitely be admitted to a good university, and they all ask how we teach..."

"Let's just say, our Yanyan likes to read, no one forces her to learn, she can learn by herself..."

"They don't even believe this is the truth haha..."

"Hey... yes, Yanyan, no one is forcing you to learn, and no one is forcing you to be the best. Why do you put so much pressure on yourself..."

"As long as your grades are passable, mom and dad just want you to do well..."

"Isn't the mock test No. 2 organized by the city very good? Ranked second in the city, it's already very good, Yanyan..."

"Yanyan, who is the boy who fell in love with you? Can you tell us?"

"Me and your dad don't want to do anything to him, we just want to know what the hell he did?"

"What did you do...to make you like this..."

"Yanyan, get better..."

"Your sister is gone, mom and dad won't lose you anymore..."

Seeing that Qiao Yan fell asleep, the chattering voice gradually became quieter.

The woman with a gentle face raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes, then quietly walked out of the room.

Outside the room, there was a middle-aged man smoking a cigarette silently outside the room. The flame of the cigarette revealed a somewhat painful silence in the darkness.

"Has Yanyan been haunted again?"

he asked in a low voice.

The woman sighed and replied in a low voice:

"Yanyan has already fallen asleep, you go to sleep too, you have to go to work tomorrow..."

"If I knew which bastard caused Yanyan to be like this, I would kill him..."

The man took a puff of his cigarette, his voice full of anger.

"'Joseph' sounds like a foreigner's name. It is impossible for Yanyan to know a foreigner. I heard that Yanyan and her school English class have to give themselves an English name. It should be the English name of one of Yanyan's male classmates. name..."

Qiao Yan's mother expressed her guess.

Qiao Yan's father was silent for a few seconds before continuing:

"Tomorrow, when you go to Yanyan School to go through the suspension procedures, ask them. Ask their class, no, is there any boy in their grade who is good at oil painting, photography and violin..."

……

In April 2017, No. 04 Middle School of xx City.

Two months before the college entrance examination, the school suddenly arranged a psychological lecture, requiring all senior high school students to participate, and required every senior high school student to take a psychological test.In addition, there are routine puppy love warnings from the head teachers of each class.

It is said that the reason why the school made such a big move this time is that the girl who always took the first place in their grade examinations has suspended school. It is said that some problems have occurred due to excessive mental pressure before the college entrance examination, so she can only suspend school to recuperate.

[I still feel a little dazed, and sometimes I always have the illusion that I am still in the game.But I know I'm back.Maybe I should keep a diary, just like the days I spent in the manor, this will allow me to clearly see the changes in myself every day...]

The black water-based pen wrote the correct handwriting on the notebook, and after all the words came to an end, Qiao Yan closed the notebook.

It has been almost two months since Qiao Yan returned to reality, and her unstable mental state has finally stabilized somewhat.When she first returned to reality, she couldn't even distinguish between reality and dreams, and was even afraid of falling asleep, because she was afraid that the familiar real world was just a short and beautiful dream.She was afraid that when she woke up from her dream, she would still be playing the never-ending game in that nightmarish manor.

She is afraid of taking pictures, afraid of mirrors, and even hates seeing pictures...

Because the existence of Joseph is hidden in those, a nightmare she cannot escape.

She wanted to tell all these experiences but didn't know how to tell, and she didn't know who to tell, although she knew that no one would believe her.

Even her parents thought that she was under too much mental pressure and had a fantasy.

Her mother took her to see a psychiatrist, and she also thought she really needed it.

She used to think that she was the most normal person, but she seemed different because of the abnormal world.However, when she returned to the normal world, she suddenly discovered that the abnormal world had a greater impact on her than she had imagined.

After adapting to that abnormal world and accepting those rules in order to survive...it was difficult for her to adapt to the normal world.

It's as if she always wants to jump when she sees a window, because she always feels that something is chasing her, as long as she jumps out of the window, she can temporarily throw away a certain distance...

However, her home is on the eighth floor, and it took her [-] minutes of rationality to restrain her body's instinct to be infected by the abnormal world.Because she knew that the only thing waiting for her after she jumped down was death.

The home is very safe, in fact, nothing is chasing her, what is oppressing her nerves is only the experience of the abnormal world.

……

After two months, the nightmare that entangled her dissipated a little, but the figure of Joseph still couldn't dissipate from the dream.

She felt that he might become her lifetime nightmare to haunt her.

The black notebook in the manor was brought back to reality by her, and she still uses it to write her diary.

[There is great news!My sister is back!Although she can't remember what happened to her before, Dad and Mom are very happy, and I am very happy.

I thought that wish was a hoax, but it turned out to be such a real miracle.There are always many miracles in this world that those of us who live on the surface of reality cannot understand. 】

[July 2018, 07 cloudy and sunny]

[Xu Jingshu contacted me, she is on summer vacation at university, so she wants to invite me to travel with her.When she contacted me, it took me a few seconds to remember who she was.Her house is upstairs from mine, we were classmates from elementary school to high school, and she is also my best friend.Maybe for her, we haven't been apart for long.But in my memory, we were separated for more than a year... I don't remember how long I stayed in the game of Orytis Manor, but it was not a good time to escape.

Perhaps time is indeed the strongest force, it can obliterate everything and heal everything.

The time that Joseph resisted finally redeemed me.

It is the best medicine.Now I have been able to gradually walk out of the Orytis Manor.
