dead dog

This is a dilapidated city, the gray sky covers dilapidated high-rise buildings and street shops, they stand in the middle of the road, surrounded by endless urban garbage.

The ground under his feet was trembling slightly, and flames came out of the cracks in the asphalt floor. A cluster of flames burned Bian Xiaocheng's trousers, he jumped up and patted his trousers, and said in surprise: "Dr. Ye! This is really a fire! Okay!" It's hot!"

Ten minutes ago, Ye Chuyang took Fasia and the tourist Jiang Ying to enter Zhong Ling's spiritual cabin. Chuyang suddenly thought of a problem, that is, the inside of the spiritual cabin may be uncontrollable, and emergencies may occur. He alone Human ability is limited but also very self-aware, taking care of Facia may not be able to take care of everything, plus a tourist Jiang Ying, if something happens, he really has no skills, so Bian Xiaocheng is temporarily added to the list.

He asked for Bian Xiaocheng's opinion, and Bian Xiaocheng said with the temperament of a general who never regrets his death: "I will work for Mr. Jiang when I get Mr. Jiang's salary. will go."

After hearing what Bian Xiaocheng said, Jiang Ying patted Bian Xiaocheng on the shoulder and said, "Very good."

Bian Xiaocheng puffed out his chest, feeling that he could get a raise in salary.

The corners of Ye Chuyang's eyes twitched, and he finally understood why Bian Xiaocheng was able to follow Jiang Ying for several years at such a young age. He was so clever.So Ye Chuyang took Facia and the two tourists to lie down in the sleeping cabin, and everyone gradually lost consciousness and fell into sleep.

Ye Chuyang woke up first, and saw the dilapidated city as soon as he opened his eyes. He stood in the middle of the road and looked around. Strips of thin lightning, and the chilly wind in the air sent bursts of cold air, as if being dragged into a doomsday disaster horror movie.Ye Chuyang wants to find other people. They don't know when they will wake up, maybe they are still lying in the sleeping cabin waiting for their own brain to resonate with Zhong Ling's brain wave frequency.

He was in a hurry when he heard a voice from the street ahead: "Dr. Ye."

The street ahead was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and a figure in formal attire gradually stepped out of the mist, it was Jiang Ying.Jiang Ying held a baseball bat in his hand, scanned his surroundings alertly, and walked towards Ye Chuyang.

Ye Chuyang looked at the baseball bat in his hand and asked, "Where did it come from?"

Jiang Ying tapped his palm with a club, looked around vigilantly, and said, "I picked it up by the side of the road."

Ye Chuyang: "Why pick it up?"

Jiang Ying swung the club over his shoulder and said, "Self-defense."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Chuyang heard hurried footsteps coming from the street on the left, and Bian Xiaocheng ran over panting: "Dr. Ye, what kind of place is this? It's too scary."

Immediately afterwards, Facia came out from the street behind Ye Chuyang, her face not concealing her excitement: "Cousin, I didn't lie to you, didn't the buildings here look very Gothic?"

Ye Chuyang called a few people to his side, stretched out his left hand, and wore a large black frame watch on his wrist, but instead of pointers, there was a wave on the dial. If you look carefully, you can see that it is not one wave but two , the two ripples approached to overlap, still moving forward slowly.

Ye Chuyang said: "Check your frequencies."

Jiang Yingbian Xiaocheng and Facia stretched out their hands, wearing the same watch as him, with two overlapping ripples on the dial and a red dot at the corner.Ye Chuyang looked at everyone's watches one by one, and said: "I'll say it again, one of these two waveforms is your brain wave frequency, and the other is Zhong Ling's brain wave frequency. Now you and Zhong Ling's frequency resonate, so you You can enter Zhong Ling’s spiritual cabin. But everyone’s spiritual cabin has a self-defense function. Zhong Ling’s spiritual cabin is embodied as a sleeping person. If this person finds that you have invaded her brain, it will activate the self-protection mechanism. I will try my best to expel you, and even kill you."

Bian Xiaocheng was startled: "Dr. Ye, will this kill people? Isn't it all fake?"

Jiang Ying pinched his ear and lifted it up: "Does it hurt?"

Bian Xiaocheng: "It hurts, hurts."

Jiang Ying let go of his hand: "Is it fake?"

Bian Xiaocheng: "It's true, it's true, Dr. Ye, go ahead."

Ye Chuyang went on to say: "The killing I'm talking about is just being killed by Zhong Ling in the mental cabin. Your body won't really lose vital signs, but your nervous system will be stimulated. I don't know what to do at the moment." I don't know how deep this stimulation is, and I'm not sure whether it will cause consequences in the body. The most serious consequence is paralysis of the nervous system, and the body and brain fall into an endless coma."

Bian Xiaocheng: "Is that a vegetable?"

Ye Chuyang nodded: "You can understand it this way." He pointed to a red button on the dial, "In order to prevent what I just said from happening, if there is an accident and you are in danger, press the red button, as long as you press Press the red button, and the system will separate your brainwaves from Zhong Ling's, and you will be able to leave Zhong Ling's mental cabin and return to the real world. Do you understand?"

Jiang Ying: "Understood."

Facia: "Understood."

Bian Xiaocheng: "Yeah."

Ye Chuyang rolled down his sleeves to cover the watch, and looked around: "Okay, then let's go to Zhong Ling now."

He chose a path to go forward, Jiang Ying and others followed him, after a few steps, Jiang Ying suddenly grabbed him and said, "There is a sound from the ground."

Facia jumped up and said, "Cousin, the ground is so hot."

Ye Chuyang also noticed that the temperature of the road under his feet was rising, and there was a dull sound coming from the ground, like a muffled thunder covered in thick clouds.

Bian Xiaocheng: "The underground is on fire!"

The asphalt surface of the highway is full of pits and pits, and there are cracks scattered all over the place. Thin flames emerge from the cracks on the ground, like sprouts growing from the ground, and the air is filled with the smell of burning flames.A cluster of flames burned Bian Xiaocheng's trousers, he jumped up and patted his trousers, and said in surprise: "Dr. Ye, this is really a fire! It's so hot!"

Jiang Ying was very calm, and squatted down to touch the flame with his fingers, a strange smile appeared on his face: "It's fire again."

Ye Chuyang knew what Jiang Ying was talking about. Two days ago, Zhong Ling set fire to the ward of the nursing home. The wedding where she lost her parents and fiancé also caught fire. Now there is still fire in Zhong Ling's mental cabin. The fire that started at the scene has never been extinguished, it has been dormant in Zhong Ling's mind, and has been burning quietly and violently in her mind.

Ye Chuyang was not optimistic about the current situation, and said: "This ruined city may burn at any time, we need to find Zhong Ling as soon as possible."

Jiang Ying asked him, "How to find it?"

Ye Chuyang swiped on the screen of the watch, and a circle of irregular lines appeared, with four red dots on the edge: "This city is equivalent to a magnetic field. We are at the edge of the magnetic field, that is, the edge of the city." .This is Zhong Ling's spiritual cabin, and Zhong Ling is in the place where the magnetic field is strongest, and the place with the strongest magnetic field is the city center. We will continue to walk in, to the center."

Jiang Ying asked, "What is your purpose in looking for Zhong Ling?"

Ye Chuyang said: "I want to understand her experience and find out the source of her loss of control."

Jiang Ying didn't know what to think of, his eyes were fascinated for a moment, and he said, "Then you need to go to her wedding scene to see."

Ye Chuyang said: "Yes, we have two tasks now; one is to find Zhong Ling, and the other is to find Zhong Ling's wedding scene."

Facia said: "Cousin, let's search separately, this place is too big. Secretary Bian and I will go to the auditorium where Zhong Ling got married, and you and Mr. Jiang will go to Zhong Ling herself."

Ye Chuyang thought for a while, and said, "Okay, then you should always pay attention to your position, and send us a message if you have any situation."

Facia and Bian Xiaocheng found a way to go south according to the instructions of the magnetic field map. Before leaving, Bian Xiaocheng shouted to Jiang Ying: "Mr. Jiang, I'm going first, take care."

Ye Chuyang and Jiang Ying walked along the narrow and claustrophobic road. The side of the road was full of ruins, and there were crumbling tall buildings on both sides. The fire on the ground was still burning, and the smell of ashes and ashes fragments wafted in the air.

Jiang Ying looked around and said, "It turns out that when we faced Zhong Ling, Zhong Ling was facing such a burning ruined city." He said with a smile, "It's very interesting."

Ye Chuyang said sternly: "The world in the eyes of mental patients is very different from the world in our eyes."

Jiang Ying smiled and said, "Us? Dr. Ye, have you forgotten that I am also a mental patient."

Ye Chuyang glanced at Jiang Ying silently. If Jiang Ying didn't say anything, he really forgot that the person in front of him was also a schizophrenic and paranoid patient.

Jiang Ying said again: "Why didn't you ask me, why did you follow you into Zhong Ling's spiritual cabin?"

Ye Chuyang was a little cold, he had no curiosity, and he had no curiosity about Jiang Ying's motives. At this time, Jiang Ying raised it on his own initiative, and he asked casually, "Why do you want to come in?"

Jiang Ying carried the club across his shoulders, looking like a hooligan leader going to a group fight, and said, "Because I want to know myself, and I want to see my own spiritual cabin."

Ye Chuyang looked at him, half understanding, half puzzled: "That's why you fund my project?"

Jiang Ying looked up and looked at the dark clouds rolling in the sky: "I just found out a few days ago that Grandpa has been funding you. I decided to withdraw the capital before I saw you, but after I saw you, I changed my mind." He used Glancing at Ye Chuyang from the corner of the eye, "Do you want to know why I changed my mind?"

Ye Chuyang: "Why?"

Jiang Ying was quiet for a moment, and said, "Because you wore a shirt from the Zegna trofeo series the day we met. It's white, simple and clean, and it suits you very well."

Ye Chuyang was silent. He didn't expect that the only piece of clothing he could afford was the key to Jiang Ying's decision whether to invest in him. Although this was a reason, he couldn't understand it, and said, "I don't understand."

Jiang Ying smiled and said, "You don't need to understand now, maybe you will understand later. Don't stress, I just want to tell you that that shirt looks good on you."

Whenever Jiang Ying spoke with his voice down, his voice would be deep, soft and magnetic. Ye Chuyang felt his ears go numb, so he rubbed his earlobes and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Jiang Yingdao turned his head and stared at him for a moment, then said, "Dr. Ye."

Ye Chuyang didn't look at him, and lowered his head slightly: "Huh?"

Jiang Ying said in a rare serious tone: "Can you cure me?"

Ye Chuyang was stunned for a moment, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated: "I, I'm not a doctor."

Jiang Yingdao: "I know you are not a doctor. Doctors are trash. I don't trust doctors."

Ye Chuyang had no choice but to say: "If you trust me, I will find a way."

Jiang Ying smiled, and the laughter was clear: "Then I will thank you, Dr. Ye."

Ye Chuyang greeted him politely: "Boss Jiang spent so much money on my project, it should be."

Jiang Ying's eyes were empty, and he didn't hear what Ye Chuyang said. Looking at the rolling clouds and lightning in the sky, he curled up his lips and smiled: "If you can't cure me, I hope you can kill me." kill me."

His voice was very low, and Ye Chuyang couldn't hear what he was saying clearly. If he asked again, he would stop talking and just smiled: "One day you will know."

Ye Chuyang was disturbed by Jiang Ying, and was seriously distracted for a while, so he didn't notice anything unusual ahead. Jiang Ying grabbed his wrist and found a dirty cat silently approaching them like a ghost. It was a Siamese cat with light brown body hair, thick black ears and tail, and a pair of ghostly blue eyes inlaid on its face.It was covered in long hair, its left ear seemed to have been cut in half by scissors, its right eye protruded outwards, and the eyeballs were about to fall out of the eye sockets, and the fundus of the eyes was red and swollen.

It was a scarred and embarrassed Siamese cat. It limped to a few meters away from Ye Chuyang and Jiang Ying, squatted down, and stared at them with dead eyes.

Jiang Ying wondered, "Why is there a cat?"

Ye Chuyang looked at the cat with his glasses on, and said, "It looks like Zhong Ling's cat."

Jiang Ying: "Zhong Ling's cat?"

Ye Chuyang nodded, and said: "I have read Zhong Ling's information, including a childhood photo of Zhong Ling. She raised a cat when she was seven or eight years old, which is very similar to this one. This is a good explanation, Siam Luo Mao was raised by Zhong Ling, so she will naturally be remembered by Zhong Ling, and it will naturally appear in Zhong Ling's spiritual cabin.

Jiang Yingdao: "Maybe Zhong Ling is nearby?"

The Siamese cat stood up suddenly and limped back.

Ye Chuyang made a decisive decision: "Follow it."
