My House of Horrors

Views:

Men Nan did not dare to fall asleep and stood stubbornly in the center of the room. He still maintained a strange posture, as if his head was about to be pressed from his shoulders.

"I always feel that there is something pressing on his head." Chen Ge was afraid of irritating Men Nan, and his voice was very low: "It is not the kind of psychological fantasy, but the real thing."

Dr. Gao waved his hand gently and stayed beside Men Nan. He took out his mobile phone, as if he was texting someone.

Seeing that Dr. Gao did not reply, Chen Ge began to search other rooms in the rental house.

The house is only 30 square meters, but although the sparrow is small and complete, it has a bedroom, a living room and a separate bathroom.

"Looking at it this way, it's just a very ordinary rental house." Chen Ge turned around and didn't find any dead ends, and there was no possibility of hiding a corpse at all.

He came out of the living room and pushed open the wooden door of the bathroom. To his expectations, there was a half-length mirror hanging on the wall opposite the door.

"Mirror facing the door?" Because of the first nightmare mission, Chen Ge was very sensitive to mirrors.

He silently walked to the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror: "In a rare layout, it would be a bit strange to see yourself in the mirror as soon as you open the door."

The mirror surface is very clean, it seems that it has been wiped frequently, and there is no trace of smudges to be found.

Looking away, there is a sink under the mirror. In Men Nan's nightmare, he has been standing here washing his hair.

Chen Ge imitated Men Nan's posture, lying in front of the sink, his body bent 95 degrees forward, his head just enough to stick under the faucet.

"From this angle, you can just see the scene outside the house. The scene he dreamed of is entirely possible." If you lie under the faucet and can't see the scene in the living room, or if your vision is blocked by other things, then Chen Ge You won't be afraid, it means it's just a dream.

But after his own experiments, he found that even in reality, all of this is completely possible.

Stretching his head into the sink, he saw the world upside down.

"Men Nan said that every time he dreams, the man will get closer to him, and this place is also very suspicious. Why didn't the other party come over and kill him? If he has to torture him a little bit, is there any deep hatred between the two?" Chen Ge While thinking about it, he suddenly felt a coldness on the back of his neck, he immediately straightened up and touched his neck.

"A drop of water? Where did it drip from?" Chen Ge looked up at the roof, there was no trace of water seepage on the ceiling, and the drop of water appeared inexplicably.

"Is it a mirror?" He couldn't help but have such a picture in his mind. He was washing his hair in front of the sink. In the mirror, he stuck out half of his body and grabbed his neck.

"The black phone shows that the name of the trial task is called the room for three people. The task name itself is a hidden reminder." Chen Ge looked at himself in the mirror and felt as if he had guessed something: "There are three people in the room. Men Nan is one of the 'people', the man who keeps approaching in the dream is the other, and at this time there is a third 'person' in the room, could this third person be hidden in the mirror?"

Chen Ge supported the washbasin with both hands and glanced to both sides. He found two empty shampoo bottles thrown in the trash can of the toilet.

"How long has it been since Men Nan moved into this apartment building, and he has already used up two bottles of shampoo? If he only washed his hair in a dream, why would there be less shampoo in reality? Could it be that this child is sleepwalking? Habit? Will he go to wash his hair alone at night?" Chen Ge thought about it for a while and then felt it was unlikely. When he communicated with Dr. Gao before, the other party said it. In order to rule out the cause of the apartment itself, Dr. Gao took Men Nan back to his home, but Men Nan's nightmare did not stop.

"The possibility of sleepwalking is ruled out for now, but if Men Nan used two bottles of shampoo in a short period of time when he was awake, it would be even more strange. Why did he wash his hair like crazy?"

No matter how clean people are, they can wash it once a day, but Men Nan used up two bottles of shampoo in a very short period of time, and only half of the third bottle of shampoo next to the sink is left.

"Under what circumstances do people wash their hair all the time? Itchy hair? Is the hair dirty? Or does it feel like there is something in the hair?" Chen Ge leaned against the wall and thought: "Men Nan fought with people in school twice, the first time was Because the animal patterns on the curtains were found to be asymmetrical, the second time was because the number of sesame seeds on the pie was not clear, and the person must have severe obsessive-compulsive disorder."

For a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, if there is something wrong, they will try to correct it. If they can't correct it, they will feel uncomfortable. Chen Ge felt that Men Nan was shampooing frantically because of this reason.

"Only Men Nan knows the answer to the question. He probably hid something very important from Dr. Gao." Chen Ge was speculating that the phone suddenly vibrated. Short message.

"Men Nan's family environment is a bit complicated, and it's not the same as the results of my previous investigation. After I told Men Nan's condition to his family, his family responded very indifferently, they just said that they would charge Men Nan's bank card enough for the treatment fee. , there is no plan to come to Jiujiang to visit him. It is not convenient for Men Nan to know about this, so I can only send you a text message to tell you. "

"My son is ill? The parent is unwilling to come and accompany him?"

"I didn't expect that when I asked Men Nan and his classmates before, everyone thought that Men Nan was born in a very harmonious family. I also checked his social platform specially, there are many grateful family members. article."

Men Nan showed to outsiders that he was a good student living in a warm family, well-educated, cheerful, and professional, but in fact, all of this might be just his disguise.

After Chen Ge read the text message, he told Dr. Gao what he had just found.

It didn't take long for Dr. Gao to reply to him a few text messages.

"Obsessive-compulsive disorder can be roughly divided into four categories: worry, ritual, cleanliness, and perfection. After my observation, Men Nan's illness does not belong to any of these four categories. It seems that he only washes his hair because of this need. "

"In my opinion, Men Nan's performance is more like another kind of mental illness - traumatic stress disorder. For example, after an earthquake, individual survivors will be in a state of high alertness for a long time, and it is difficult for them to Get rid of the shadow of the earthquake, and the brain will give them a kind of false information, as if the earthquake will happen again at any time."

"Men Nan's symptoms are very similar to those of traumatic stress disorder. His nervousness and rolling eyes mean that he is very insecure, as if something will come out and hurt him at any time. In this case, he washes his hair. , it may be a self-protective behavior."
