When I heard the conversation, I immediately felt something was wrong. Tomorrow is Friday? So isn't today... Thursday! impossible! There is no way Dong Sheng could lie to me! The person in front of me must have made a mistake!
The young man hung up the phone, saw that I was still here, and said impatiently: "Why don't you get out!"
I felt my throat was dry and asked tentatively: "Did you just say that tomorrow is Friday?"
"How dare you eavesdrop on my phone call!" The young man raised his baseball bat, "Are you looking for death!"
Instead of hiding, I stepped forward and asked, "What day of the week is today?"
The young man was frightened by my words and deeds. The baseball bat he raised did not fall. He said in a panic: "What day is today! Are you a fool?"
"Tell me!" I became more and more nervous and even grabbed the young man's collar and asked loudly.
The young man completely lost his previous momentum and said, "Today... today is Thursday!"
He must have made a mistake! How can today be Thursday!
"You lied to me!" I felt like my body was out of control, and I grabbed his collar and shouted.
The man couldn't bear it anymore and kicked me away, cursing: "Are you crazy?"
The ground beneath my feet shook again, and the ghostly laughter came as expected. In panic, I saw the young man and asked like a life-saving straw: "You must have remembered it wrong, right? Today is Friday!"
The man backed away repeatedly, fearing that I would rush up to him again, and shouted in a stern voice, "Don't come here! If you come here again, I'll call someone! You..." Before he could finish his words, the man fled in a hurry and disappeared.
The wind stirred up the sand and dust on the ground, and the dead leaves swirled on the ground with the wind. I vaguely saw a woman in a white dress dancing in the wind.
"This is an illusion!" I told myself, but I lost the courage to continue and stumbled out of the alley. My vision was blurry, and I didn't know if it was already dark at this time, but the street lights were still not on.
A dazzling light, with a rapid whistle. I stood there blankly, unable to react.
"You're crazy!" the driver yelled at me in front of the car. Only then did I see clearly that it was a taxi.
I must go back quickly.
Ignoring the driver's objections, I sat directly in the car and vaguely remembered giving an address. Along the way, the whole car was spinning, and I felt motion sickness for the first time.
Fortunately, I reached my destination before I threw up.
"So fast?" What I saw when I looked up was a large door with the four characters "Xiangshan Restaurant" written on it. When I got in the car, I was talking about the date.
"You're here!" Lou Yuqing's voice rang in my ears, and I could no longer see her clearly.
"Yeah!" I tried to adjust my breathing, hoping not to be caught. The steps were controlled so smoothly that I couldn't be sure because the world in my consciousness had been turned upside down.
Then, I heard Jiao Lei's voice.
"Mo Sifei! Look who's here!" I recognized a familiar figure and looked in the direction he pointed.
A woman in a white dress quietly turned around and showed me a gentle smile. She was the only light in the dark world. I still can't forget that smiling face after so many years. The beautiful memories of the past are deadly poison to me at this time.
"Shao Fang!" I called out her name in horror.
"What exactly is that?"
Her voice echoed around me, haunting me like a ghost.
"I don't know! I really don't remember!" I shouted hysterically, kneeling on the ground and crying like a child. Then, everything went dark.
In my last moments of unconsciousness, I heard another voice.
"What happened to Mo Sifei?"
That was Liu Wenjing's voice.
Three Stone Counseling Center.
"I'm sorry." Jiao Lei suddenly apologized to me, "Actually, I came up with this plan. Because I noticed that your mental condition was very serious, I persuaded Dong Sheng and Lou Yuqing to cooperate with me in completing this plan."
"Plan?" I recalled what happened that day and asked, "What day of the week is that day?"
"Is this important?" Jiao Lei stared at me with burning eyes.
I didn't answer.
After a while, Jiao Lei said: "That day was indeed Thursday. The reason why Dong Sheng lied to you was to let you walk out of the room on that day. As long as you spend this day safely, your psychological shadow of Thursday will be lifted. I didn't expect that, Due to some unexpected factors, this plan completely failed. Because, I think, this is the treatment method that can best protect you. "
"Thank you." I smiled at him sincerely, "Because with this method, you don't need to ask about the origin of my mental problems, and it won't involve my privacy."
"But after going through this, if we don't deal with it in time, I'm afraid the problem will become more serious." Jiao Lei looked at me and said tentatively: "So..."
"Now that things have happened, there is nothing to hide anymore." I nodded and said, "You must have heard about that matter."
Jiao Lei frowned and said in a deep voice: "Are you talking about what happened in your graduation year? You and Shao Fang were traveling together and unfortunately encountered an earthquake, and then she... I didn't expect that that incident would hit you so hard. !”
"Yes, she died." I nodded, "But there are some details that I haven't told anyone."
After taking a few deep breaths, I finally revealed the past that had been hidden in my heart for many years.
"That day was the third Thursday in July. I was going to propose to Shao Fang. The journey started smoothly. I just waited to reach the top of the mountain and took out the engagement ring. In that scene Next, I think she will definitely agree. But the mountain road is very long. When we reached the mountainside, the sky suddenly darkened, the birds flew away in fright, but there was a strange light on the horizon. "
"I should have known that it was the precursor of the earthquake. Shao Fang seemed to have felt it, and hesitantly said that he wanted to go back. But I was always thinking about my proposal plan, so I persuaded her to move on. Soon, the earthquake started. The mountains were shaking and we couldn’t even stand firm.”
"At that time, we only relied on hugging the big tree to prevent ourselves from falling down the mountain. Seeing Shao Fang's horrified expression, I regretted it deeply, but I did not expect that what happened next would be more serious. A big stone rolled down. The mountain was about to fall down on us. Shao Fang was so frightened that he let go of his hands and rolled down the mountain. When I saw this, I quickly chased after him. You know, it was impossible to even stand firm at that time. , the only result was that she and I rolled down the mountain together."
"I just felt that the whole world was spinning, and I couldn't distinguish anything. Finally I was intercepted by a stone, and then I discovered that there was actually a waterfall. Amidst the sound of rushing water, I heard Shao Fang's scream was not far from me. I followed the sound and climbed to the edge of the waterfall, and saw Shao Fang clinging to a vine, but the vine was about to be broken."
"I caught her in time, and her survival consciousness was aroused. She grabbed my arm tightly, and her nails were embedded in my skin. A trace of blood oozed from the wound and flowed through her fingers. , falling into the deep pool under the waterfall little by little. I wanted to pull her back, but a big rock suddenly hit my shoulder. Under the severe pain, I could hardly feel the existence of my arm."
"And the water flow of the waterfall is getting bigger and bigger. If I continue to stay there, I may be washed down at any time. Facing the threat of death, my mind goes blank. If it weren't for Shao Fang's shouts, I might have died. This went on until I fell into the waterfall. I barely came back to my senses and looked at Shao Fang. She suddenly said something to me. After that, my hand regained consciousness, and in the next second, my hand and Shao Fang’s He let go almost at the same time. I just watched Shao Fang fall."
"It was just an accident." Jiao Lei comforted, "You don't need to blame yourself for this."
"I know it was an accident. What really makes me feel guilty is that after so many years, I still can't remember what Shao Fang's last words were! As time goes by, this question haunts me like a wraith, twisting my emotions. Consciousness. Perhaps, I will never be able to get rid of this question and can only wait for it to swallow me completely."
"Perhaps, I can help you." Jiao Lei said, "But there will be some risks."
"What can you do!" I grabbed Jiao Lei's hand, "As long as I can recall it, I am willing to take any risk!"
Jiao Lei said: "The so-called forgetting is actually a state of self-defense. Because that incident has a great impact on your spirit, your subconscious mind chooses to forget this memory. This is called psychological in psychology. The defense mechanism has turned. It's just that your situation is a bit complicated. You are obsessed with this lost memory, which has caused mental illness. If you trace the root cause and use hypnosis to help you recall what happened at that time, it should be effective. .but… "
"But what?" I asked.
Jiao Lei frowned and said: "Because your illness has been delayed for too long, and even the scenes in your consciousness will be distorted, I cannot guarantee that you will be safe in the dream. Everything can happen in the dream, and it can even threaten you. In reality, your life! Even so, are you still willing to accept my treatment?"
I didn't hesitate and just replied, "I believe you!"
When I opened my eyes again, tears blurred my vision, and I knew that everything would be different after that. I didn't tell Jiao Lei what those last words were, but I had a vague feeling that those words might become my nightmare on the other side.
No matter what, I got the truth and I am willing to bear all the consequences.
