Psycho

Open your eyes, it's dark.

Ye Zi struggled to stand up.His head was dizzy, and the pulse in his ears was beating, and every time he beat, he felt pain.

It was a while before he realized that he was sitting on a cot.It was too dark to see anything.He got out of bed, stood on the cold concrete floor, and groped forward.He felt hard, smooth porcelain, like a bathtub.Next to it is the toilet.

where are the wallsWhere's the light switch?

After walking a few more steps, Ye Zi encountered a cold, slender iron rod.what?

He subconsciously fumbled for the length and quantity of the iron rod... Gradually, he remembered what happened before he passed out, those strange words of the rabbit.He could imagine what these irons were, and a chill ran down his spine.

He groped along the iron railing with his bare feet, and it was indeed a cage.

Is this a dream?How could there be such a big cage?

Even a real cage should have a door, right?

Ye Zi groped hard, and finally found the place where the iron rods meet, similar to a cage door.However, the place is full of iron chains, and there are still two locks the size of fists!

Ye Zi pulled the door hard, tried to stretch out his hand, and pulled the door lock, but there was no way to unlock it.There are no sharp things around him, and he is not one of those gods on TV who can open a lock with a needle!

what happened?Rabbit really wanted to lock him up?What are you kidding? !

He started to yell: "Ye Chengxi, come out! What the hell are you trying to do? Lock me here? Come out!"

His yelling worked.

In less than a minute, there was a rattling sound, and the door was opened.

Staying in a closed, dark room for a long time, even the candlelight becomes extremely dazzling.

Ye Zi covered his eyes with his fingers, and after a few seconds, he finally saw the rabbit walking in from the door.

The rabbit is holding a jade-white candlestick in a classical style, and his fingers and chin look quite pale in the candlelight.The white loose cuffs were unbuttoned, and the folds of the clothes gradually changed in the light and shadow, revealing the silver fine-edged pattern.

The five candles on the candlestick swayed slightly with his movements, reflecting the entire cage on the wall, Ye Zi could see clearly——

The entire cage is about fifteen square meters, three meters high, and the vault is semicircular. Both the bottom circle and the top are carved with complicated patterns.This is simply an enlarged black birdcage.

"What do you mean?" Ye Zi asked coldly.

The rabbit seemed to be in a good mood. He came over, gently stroked the pure black wire pattern of the bird cage, and said, "Azi, do you know? It took me three years to make this cage. Burning, melting , pickling, drawing... The paint I applied has no harm to the body. I made a Rococo-style pattern after comparing thousands of photos. You see, these are roses among thorn bushes, some of which are already in full bloom Yes, some are still budding..."

The rabbit's voice was interrupted by Ye Zi unbearably: "What do I mean by asking you? Are you going to lock me in here? ...Where is my cell phone?"

"Ah, I accidentally threw it away. Besides, there is no signal here."

"Where the hell is this?!"

The rabbit's eyes are slightly narrowed, and the light-colored pupils are like a puddle of water, slightly rippling.

He just stared at Ye Zi who was standing in the cage, with a strange smile on his lips: "Where is it? Ah Zi, don't you feel the shaking?"

Ye Zi frowned, he had no idea what the rabbit was talking about.

The rabbit looked at Ye Zi patiently, put his palms behind his ears, and said softly, "Didn't you hear it? The sound of waves, crashing, crashing, and the crowing of seagulls."

"..." Ye Zi seemed to have really heard it.

Rabbit put his right hand back into his trouser pocket comfortably, and said: "So, you know. We are on a small boat, wandering in the world's widest ocean. The wind is very strong today, and the sails on the deck are all It is about to be blown to pieces, maybe tonight, we will be swallowed by the waves? Ah, maybe, we will still be able to reach a deserted island in the future... Ah Zi, we will never go back, see you again It would be nice not to have those annoying flies."

The rabbit's words drove Ye Zi crazy.

He wanted to grab something and hit a rabbit, but there was nothing beside him.Relying on instinct, he punched the rabbit through the gap in the railing.

The candlelight flickered wantonly, and the rabbit easily dodged away.

The railing completely stopped Ye Zi from moving, in fact, he added bruises to himself by pulling and hitting too hard.But at this moment, he has completely ignored the pain, and he yelled: "Madman! You are a fucking lunatic! How can I be sorry for you? How much have I done to be sorry for you?? If you like you, you can do it Tolerate you killing my mother? Can I tolerate you locking me up? Do I have to sacrifice everything if I like you?! In your eyes, am I still a person?? Or a person??"

Ye Zi became more and more unable to control himself, as if the anger he had suppressed for so long had finally exploded.He kicked the door with bare feet, he smashed the iron rod with his fist, he pulled the wire, and the result was blood and scars.

The rabbit seemed to be calling his name anxiously, but Ye Zi couldn't hear him.

His tinnitus suddenly became sharp and overshadowed everything else.He covered his ears with his hands and had a splitting headache.

Then, as soon as his head went black, he lost consciousness.

Afterwards, it was like he was dreaming.

He dreamed that he was lying in the bathtub, surrounded by dangling candle lights, tall or short, like fireflies.

Someone was bathing him tenderly, covered in fragrant foam.As the man leaned over to wipe himself, light-colored hair slipped behind his ears, and his eyelashes were rather long.

After taking a shower, he hugged himself to the bed and carefully applied the medicine.From the palm of the hand, to the position of the phalanx on the back of the hand, to the calf and toes.softly.The medicine is cold, but it becomes warm during his massage.

Then, there is a long feeding.

After everything was over, he covered himself with a quilt, and left a kiss on his forehead like a child.

The person in the dream was talking beside the bed.

He said, "Azi, I have liked you since I was a child."

"I started to remember things when I was very young, so I knew that my life was hell. My mother would bring different men back every day. She told them that I was her brother. But they didn't believe me, so she locked me up. I got up. I know that she hates me, and only thinks of me when she is sad. Probably, if she was given a choice, whether to choose me or her new dress, she would choose the new dress without hesitation. "

"However, one day, many people came to my house. I didn't know what they were going to do. I was somehow taken on a plane and came to the mansion. At that time, no one talked to me. The servants hated me and said I was' The whore's son''bastard''sloppy'' or whatever, except you, you're talking to me."

He smiled: "I stood at the door, afraid to enter the door. The adults around were whispering, and no one helped me. But you came over and opened the door. At that time, I really felt You are so tall, so dazzling, like a hero. Although the first sentence you said to me was 'don't dirty the door', I still think it's great to have such a big brother."

"Of course, I know. You hate me too. You never look at me, teach me how to play the piano, don't play with me, and don't even want to eat with me."

"However, although you never looked at me directly, you would pack up and beat my maid; when I was crying, you would still come to me and pull me home without saying a word; when I was 6 years old, I ran into the forest alone, and suddenly there was a violent storm. That night, I really thought I was going to die. But you came to save me, and only you came to save me!"

"At that time, you carried me into this room in the rain...yes, this is the room. At that time, there was nothing in this room, and I was burning badly. You went to pick up dry branches and lit the fire, holding me all the time, It was the happiest night of my life."

"Probably since that night, I have fallen in love with you."

"I want to be with you every day. I asked the maid to take me to your school to find you. But, at that time, I realized that you are not alone. You have many friends, and you hang out with them , you go home with a sister, and that sister talks to you with a blushing face... I hate them, I hate them so much."

"Not only do I hate them, but I hate everyone you come into contact with. I hate the servants who talk to you all the time, the housekeeper, and the mother who always looks at you..."

"At that time, I was thinking, why don't you belong to me alone? How can you become mine alone?"

"Probably, it started at that time. I hoped vaguely, hoped to lock you up, hoped that you belonged to me alone."

"...Ah, are you asleep already? Then go to sleep, good night, brother."

……

When he woke up again, it was dark again.Everything before was like a dream, and Ye Zi forgot where he was again.After touching the iron cage again like the first time, he remembered that he was locked in a bird cage.

Only this time, he didn't make trouble.His thinking gradually became clearer.

He remembered the words the rabbit said in his ear, and then followed those words, recalling the past.

Thinking about his relationship with the rabbit, where did it start, become distorted, and become what it is today.

What can he do to save himself?

What to do in the end, the rabbit can let him out.

How can he return to the real world——

Ahhh, I have made an appointment, I have an appointment to see the car, I have already planned to visit those famous people, I still have so many books to read, I have such a bright future!

I'm afraid that many, many people are looking for themselves now, right?Mom would probably go crazy with worry, right?

Is this the end of everything?

Just like that, living like a beast?

What to do, how to do it?

Ye Zi would think about these things when he was awake.

In fact, it didn't take long for him to know what he should do.He began to desperately want to see the rabbit, he wanted to talk to the rabbit, so he called the rabbit's name in the cage, again and again.

However, this time, the rabbit did not appear.

Ye Zi stood in the cage and waited, but the rabbit did not appear.

Ye Zi yelled again and smashed the iron door with an iron mouthwash cup, but the rabbit did not appear.

Ye Zi lay down, half asleep and half awake.

Every time I dream that the rabbit is coming.In the beginning, I always dreamed of arguing with him, dreaming of fighting with him.But the dream after that became softer.Dreaming of embracing him tightly in the lively neighborhood, dreaming that he kept happily saying "you chose me" "you chose me!"

However, every time I wake up, there is pure darkness in front of my eyes, and the rabbit does not appear.

Darkness is probably the scariest thing.Blurred and extended.The darkness makes it difficult to tell whether it is day or night. Being in the dark, it seems that you are blind, as if you are already dead!

At such a moment, Ye Zi forgot everything.

Forget his vision for the future, forget his hatred for rabbits, forget his plans.

He just felt so uncomfortable and lonely.

never mind!

Be it a monster or a devil...

No matter how crazy or hateful...

At this moment, he only hopes that the rabbit will come to him, that he can get rid of such a terrifying darkness, that he can stay by his side!

So, when the rabbit came to him again holding the candlestick, Ye Zi didn't make trouble or scold him.

Sitting on the ground, he looked up at the light source, his eyes were confused, and his voice was extremely hoarse: "Ye Chengxi."

The rabbit asked: "What's the matter? Are you hungry?"

Ye Zi's Adam's apple moved, and he slowly moved towards the light source: "Come here."

The rabbit put the candlestick aside and squatted down against the cage.

Ye Zi half-kneeled in front of the rabbit, stretching his hands out of the cage.His fingers were pale, with various old wounds on them.

"Azi?"

Ye Zi grabbed the rabbit's clothes and pulled them inside, then hugged him with difficulty.

Rabbit was quite surprised, even his body became stiff: "Azi? What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

Ye Zi tried hard to paste the rabbit, as if he wanted to feel a little bit of heat.However, the iron cage blocked him, and the only thing that could feel the temperature of the rabbit was his hands.

"Didn't you say you like me?"

"...Yeah, I like you."

"Then why, no matter how I call you, you don't come?" When Ye Zi said this, his voice became sour and his eyes dimmed.

"I'm sorry, I need to deal with some things last night..." The rabbit's pale face gradually turned rosy, and his eyes became brighter, "Azi? Do you finally understand me? You changed your mind and finally feel that you are with me like this , very good, right?"

Ye Zi calmed down again after hearing the rabbit's words.

No, he just stayed in the dark for too long, so he unconditionally hoped for someone to accompany him.

But could it be that just because he was too lonely, he could condone the rabbit's crazy behavior?Just understand him?Are you willing to give up everything?How can it be! !How can it be! ! !

When the rabbit was ecstatic, Ye Zi cleared his mind and said: "Open the door, rabbit. I can't stand being locked in a cage by myself. It's too scary to be alone. Anyway, I'm drifting at sea now. Where can I be?" I can’t go anymore, let me out.”

Rabbit smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, I lied to you. We are not in the sea, but in a...suburb."

"Really, it's all the same, I won't leave you, trust me."

"Well, I believe you."

Rabbit opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, the two hugged each other.

In the flickering candlelight, Ye Zi pressed the rabbit on the bed, lowered her head and kissed his chin.

Such a romantic scene gives people a feeling of going back to the past.

Back when they were in love, back when they lived together sweetly.

Of course, this feeling is just an illusion.

The simplest evidence is probably Ye Zi's eyes and behavior.

Would he ever kiss a rabbit so calmly?

Will he grope where the key is so calmly and observe the rabbit's reaction?
