Su Zhenling's voice was a little low and unpleasant when he called, "Where are you?"
Che Linwan glanced around at the street.
Of course you can't answer him like this.
After all, Bai Shoudao was a good brother. His family couldn't take Xia Mingzhi in, so he rented a single room in a nearby small hotel that didn't require ID card registration. He often did this when he needed to practice in seclusion, so the shop owner and his wife followed him. He is familiar and trusted.
He raised his head and glanced at the window, there was a faint light.
Xia Mingzhi huddled in a small single room with dirty sheets and only cold water for bathing in the middle of the night.
This situation is very complicated. It is not a primary psychological trauma, nor is it a stress-induced psychological defense.
He is a character fight between the created personality and the initial personality.
The most embarrassing thing is that Che Linwan can't tell him that he is actually the fake one and the real Xia Mingzhi is not like this.
She has never seen the real Xia Mingzhi.
"Oh. I went to see Xiaoxia."
Su Zhenling was silent for a while, "How does it look?"
What else can I do? I'm still alone. I can't turn into Deadpool or Venom.
"It's okay. I'm quite energetic."
This very energetic person sounds a bit unanswered. But she thought Su Zhenling could understand what she meant.
The reshaped personality is still there, and the initiative has not been lost.
"Be careful." Usually this kind of reminder is nonsense and has no effect, but Su Zhenling still can't help but remind her not to lose her guard completely just because she is someone she trusts. People who often have problems are acquaintances, "If you have any questions, call me anytime."
"Okay." She answered simply, even though she knew there was no point in looking for him. He was a forensic doctor like her, not a psychiatrist. Even among the psychiatrists on the market who are now proficient in deep hypnosis, there are only a few who can reshape personality.
"By the way, do you know where his parents are?"
Che Linwan paused, not knowing how to answer him better. Xia Dongqing and Ma Jiaxunyi are both abroad, and she has no intention of finding them. According to her understanding of the two couples, although they are both great people in their respective fields, they have always been weak when it comes to being parents. not qualified.
Why would you immediately exclude your daughter as soon as something happens, try your best to evade your responsibilities, and leave your son directly in the hands of a foreign psychological hypnotist? Can parents who do this kind of thing be trusted
Even according to what Tang Zu said, the bad character of Xia Mingzhi in the past was definitely related to the education of his parents. At least looking at the current Xia Mingzhi, it is completely impossible to imagine what the original personality would look like.
"Due to the last case, both of them have now gone abroad."
"No contact information?"
"You mean Xiaoxia?"
"Forget it, it's okay. Let's ask Brother De."
"Doctor Su..."
Su Zhenling sighed on the phone, "Can you stop being so outspoken?"
"Su Zhenling?"
He sighed helplessly, her business-like tone made him a little embarrassed, "You can call her whatever you like."
"Is that still Dr. Su? Brother De may not know yet..."
"Don't worry. I won't tell the truth directly. I just asked him about the whereabouts of his father from the Ministry of Justice."
"usually… "
"It shouldn't fall under the category of mental illness."
Che Lin went to the 24-hour supermarket to buy some fruit and milk in the evening and ate some on the stool.
The weather is getting warmer and there are more homeless people on the road.
When she looked up and was about to go back, she saw a figure flashing along the roadside.
Che Linwan looked like Xia Mingzhi, so she immediately followed her with her bag.
Xia Mingzhi walked into an office building. Che Linwan only saw the elevator stopped on the 12th floor, but when she caught up with him, the person had disappeared.
She waited downstairs for a while, and waited for about two hours before she met the patrolling security guard who told her that this building had a back door, which was at the entrance of the freight elevator. The person may have already left.
Che Lin fell asleep directly on the sofa after returning home at night. Half asleep and half awake, I saw a figure moving around the house. He was so frightened that he screamed immediately.
After shouting for a long time, there was no sound before I realized that I was dreaming.
So I could only watch the figure walking around in front of me, but there was nothing I could do. She didn't want to look at that figure either.
I don’t want to wake myself up either. Because her body is so exhausted, she needs time to sleep and rest. Although the quality of rest in her sleep may not be the best, at least she is asleep.
That kind of situation in a dream where you clearly know you're dreaming but don't bother to wake up is actually a bit weird when you think about it.
She didn't know if she would remember this dream when she woke up the next day, or how realistic this dream could be.
When the figure slowly approached her, she knew that it would not cause harm to her, but she still felt deep fear.
Soon the face became clear.
First it was Xia Mingzhi's face, then Su Zhenling's face, then her aunt Ms. Bai's face, and then it changed, and then changed...
Does it contain any information? According to scientific analysis, dreams are usually combined with part of reality. Some are feedback, some are virtual, and some are still being deconstructed by the brain. She didn't understand what was wrong with these people.
The strange thing is that the face turned into Meng Dai's.
He had never seen his mentor Tong Hai since the case came to an end. Che Linwan looked at the clear and blurry face in front of him. He knew it was Meng Dai but couldn't see the face at all, and was full of confusion.
Her consciousness slowly faded away, and her dream was still lingering in her mind. She wanted to remember it.
Then someone tapped her.
The slap wasn't hard, but it really hit her arm.
There couldn't be anyone at home. So it must be fake.
But the other party patted her again.
"Ah-" She almost jumped, her heart racing. It feels like there is insufficient blood supply.
The dark shadow in front of me became clear, it was real. It's a person.
The person's face began to shake. Contrary to the dream, this time she could gradually see the face clearly, but deep down she was still not sure who it was.
Until the entire face becomes clear.
Che Linwan took a breath, it was Xia Mingzhi.
"How did you...come in?"
"password."
He has the password to her house!
damn it.
She forgot to change her password.
But will changing the password at this time seem too deliberate and too guarded against him
Did he leave her house on his own initiative, and for her safety, he changed the password as soon as he turned around
"It's time to change your password."
Che Linwan breathed a sigh of relief, and he found a step for her, "Yes. Let's talk about it later."
'I am not kidding. Go and change the password. '
He pulled her up.
The fingers are very light and a little cautious.
Che Linwan softened up instantly, put her arms around his waist and hugged him.
It wasn't him who hurt her that day, it had never been him.
But Xia Mingzhi broke away and dragged her up from the sofa.
"Go. Change the password. It must be something I can't guess."
There were many passwords that he could not guess.
While Che Linwan was changing her password, Xia Mingzhi placed the sandwiches and coffee he had brought on the table, never looking back at her.
"Yesterday, I contacted my parents." He turned his back to her and spoke word by word, "What happened recently, about amnesia, violence..." After another pause, "They have finished listening. scared."
And you? After Che Linwan confirmed the new password, he closed the door and leaned against the door frame. He wanted to ask him, what about you? Are you scared? He is not DID, it is not a split personality, he was forced into a memory.
Anyone would be scared if they found out.
Does he know? How much does he know about the fact that he is a virtual reconstructed personality
"My parents said they'd better let me go there."
"Where to go."
"Los Angeles."
"Where are your parents?"
Xia Mingzhi shook his head quickly, "No. They are somewhere else. On a small island in the Pacific. Dr. Smith, I told you before, the psychiatrist my family used to visit frequently. He is currently in Los Angeles. I Mom asked me to go there first and see what he said."
Che Linwan felt inexplicably angry.
Do parents still want to escape
"do not go."
Xia Mingzhi turned around and looked at her in surprise, "What."
"Don't go." They want to destroy you. The hypnosis master may realize that the personality he created is rejected by the original personality. The most common method is to restart it frequently, just like an IT programmer treats a downed program.
Once restarting doesn't work, just format, reinstall, change the driver, or replace the hard drive. The end result is beyond recognition.
Maybe... A trace of uneasiness flashed in Che Linwan's eyes.
The Xia Mingzhi in front of him will be disappeared by them, and then he will reshape his personality. When he comes back... he may never remember him again.
They will give him a new experience, maybe keep his internship experience at WSTI, but he is just a junior intern who has seen corpses one after another.
Although Xia Mingzhi didn't understand, he clearly felt Che Linwan's uneasiness.
Holding her shoulders with both hands, "Dr. Che, I hurt you... This is... something unforgivable!"
"No. That person is not you."
"No matter whose consciousness it is, he can control me. It's terrible, isn't it?"
Sure enough, he was afraid after all.
"But you can't go, you can't see that doctor again." She was so stubborn to him for the first time.
"Why. If he treated me before, why can't he treat me again? I will come back, you believe me."
No, that's not the case.
The eyes between the two are very complicated, but neither of them can see through the other's heart. They may understand but cannot try to understand.
"If the problem is with me, of course I have to solve it before I can continue to be with you."
"Every time I'm in trouble, you're always by my side. So this time, I'll be by your side too."
Che Linwan's voice was soft but her tone was firm. Xia Mingzhi stared into her eyes, with emotion and glimmer in them.
But he couldn't involve her.
It was his responsibility and obligation to help her, but not to hurt her, and even less to get her into trouble.
He hopes to find out what's wrong with him, and often recalls things he has never experienced before in the middle of the night, which are so vivid and real, and he is always angry for no reason. Only when he thinks of her, he always shrinks back because he thinks about her shortcomings. My heart feels warm when I look at the female forensic doctor who obviously cares about everything but always likes to pretend not to care.
When we first met her at the institute, she seemed neat and tough, but her colleagues often pushed her away from responsibilities that did not belong to her at all. However, if her work partners suffer any unfair treatment, she has the courage to stand up and resist.
It belongs to the kind of character where you have to spend every penny in other people's affairs and care about your own affairs.
He is very kind to his friends, very gentle and very tolerant. Wu Meiren hurt her like that, but still protected her vigorously and considered her at every turn.
From a psychological point of view, she is a typical child who lacked love, but she was on the road to growth. Therefore, she desperately tried to make up for herself in the later period, but she could not get rid of her own sense of insecurity.
He broke into her feelings almost brutally, predatoryly forcing her to accept him. But after she accepted it, he hurt her in the most brutal and primitive way.
That was something he could never forgive in his life.
Just like the period after Xiyuan was injured, when Xiyuan needed him the most, relied on him, and asked him for help, he felt like he was going the other way.
Che Linwan, I don’t want you to experience pain with me. All you need to do is let me take away your pain and you accept the good part.
"I'll go alone." Once I made up my mind, the words became easier to say.
Che Linwan was stunned for a few seconds. What did he mean
go alone? Go to the psychologist who shaped his personality and then wash it away
She suddenly pinched his arm and pulled him in front of her, "Why don't you believe me?"
"Huh? Of course I believe you."
"Then don't go to that hypnosis...psychologist."
Xia Mingzhi looked into her eyes carefully and said, "Che Linwan, do you know something that I don't know? Did the psychiatrist introduced by Brother De last time tell you? What did he say? Tell me."
"No… "
"tell me!"
"Really not. I don't know more than you, don't be angry, Xia Mingzhi, don't be angry, please!"
That personality, the original personality was probably an angry guy. A mean, nasty, unsympathetic and angry guy.
Therefore, as long as there is a fight or anger, the original personality will deliberately come out and disrupt his head, his consciousness, and his memory.
"Don't be angry. Yes, just don't be angry."
Seeing her softly comforting him, I couldn't get angry, but inexplicably... I felt that my heart hurt so much... it hurt so much...
Just like that time when Xiyuan fell in a pool of blood, right in front of him, her body was already cold. If it was not discovered in time, it is very likely...
"Xia Mingzhi! What's wrong with you? You..."
"Headache... It hurts..." It feels like it's about to burst!
He is here, tearing his brain apart, desperately trying to rush out.
That figure that looked like mud. He never disappeared.
The first time he fought with someone, it was as if someone was controlling his hands and feet, punching and dodging naturally. Even if his eyes couldn't follow the opponent's movements, his body's instinctive memory told him what to do next.
At first I thought it was a talent, and I was a good fighter.
But slowly I realized that it was a curse. It is an inexplicable curse that is integrated into the blood.
"Xia Mingzhi, wake up! Please... wake up! You have to drive him away..."
"Dr. Che, who are you trying to get rid of?"
Ah... That voice was exactly the same as a familiar voice, but the tone was that of a completely unfamiliar person.
"Doctor Che, I am the one who has saved you several times. Do you want to drive me away?"
He grabbed her collar.
Che Linwan wanted to pry his fingers off, but his strength was too overbearing and he didn't give her any chance.
She turned around and wanted to run into her room, but he grabbed her from behind and trapped her on his chest.
"Don't you like me?"
"let me go!"
Her eyes fell on the cell phone placed on the armrest of the sofa. Just when his fingers were about to touch her, he suddenly hugged her and encircled her whole body.
"Xia's name is Zhi? Xiaoxia! Wake up, look who I am. Take a look..."
"You are the little forensic doctor, the little forensic doctor who obviously likes me but dare not say it, Dr. Che."
Don't... don't do that to me! You wouldn't do that to me...
When the door slammed shut, her cell phone also buzzed on the sofa.
Tears of despair fell from the corners of his eyes.
At that moment, a world-weary thought lingered in my mind: disappear! Let's all disappear together. Whether it is the original Xia Mingzhi or the reshaped Xia Mingzhi, let this whole person disappear from before you.
The tip of his tongue licked away the sweat beads struggling on the tip of his nose.
"Hmm. Is this what forensic medicine smells like?"
Che Linwan stared at him silently, the light in those eyes was no longer that of the familiar intern, confident and fearless, clean and persistent.
Summer is here... wake up! You will regret this. Even if you are not the original Xia Mingzhi, you have existed, right? Even for my sake, please wake up, okay
