After listening to the couple's description, Shen Xing was almost certain that the so-called autism encountered by Jiang Jialun was related to the magic baby, rather than a simple disease.
"I feel like I must have seen it wrong that day." Chen Lin said, "Because it was only that one time, and I never saw another little boy next to Jia Lun."
When she finished speaking, she sighed heavily.
"Have you ever thought about reporting it to the sheriff? Or finding someone to perform a ritual?" Shen Xing asked.
The couple was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Shen Xing with surprised eyes.
Jiang Yucheng shook his head: "Well, do you doctors also believe these things?"
"It's better to believe that it exists than to believe that it doesn't exist." Shen Xing said directly: "I encountered many things, and later I found that some special situations cannot be explained from a medical point of view."
"Could it be that my child... is haunted by a ghost?" Chen Lin looked frightened and turned pale.
"I'm just guessing." Shen Xing said.
"Doctor Shen, is there any way you can save him? Please... you must save Jia Lun!" Chen Lin's voice trembled slightly.
She seemed to have forgotten that Shen Xing was a doctor at this moment, not a monk or a Taoist priest.
After all, they had no other choice at this point, and with their own experiences and Shen Xing's judgment on the matter confirmed, the couple had a vague feeling that what Shen Xing said was probably right, and they might have been in the wrong direction all along.
If it's not autism, then their child's family relationship is definitely haunted by ghosts.
"Okay, I will definitely try my best to help you, no matter whether Jia Lun is really autistic or for other reasons." Shen Xing nodded heavily.
At this moment, the bathroom door creaked, opened a crack, and then slowly opened inward.
No one expected that there was no light on in the bathroom. It was dark inside. I wonder what Xiao Jialun was doing in there without turning on the light.
Not long after, a thin boy walked out of this dark space. His head was slightly lowered, his back was slightly bent, his legs were weak, and he could not lift his feet when walking. His whole body was lifeless, dragging his body forward as if he was There is a thick haze surrounding it.
The room fell into silence, and Chen Lin also picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. The three of them stared at Jiang Jialun as he walked out of the bathroom and walked towards his bedroom.
From beginning to end, he didn't even raise his head, and he probably didn't even notice that there was a guest in the room.
The three of them, Shen Xing, all remained silent in a tacit agreement, staring at the child's figure until he slowly walked into the bedroom and closed the door with his hand.
After a long time, Shen Xing said: "If this child shows signs of being haunted by ghosts, the symptoms will definitely be more prominent at night. We can wait until night."
"What do we need to do?" Jiang Yucheng asked worriedly.
"Get some cotton swabs before you go to bed. Remove the cotton and stuff it into your nostrils. Well, it's best to plug both your ears and nostrils." Shen Xing said.
"Why?" Jiang Yucheng was puzzled.
"Believe me, I have experience in this area." Shen Xing did not say anything clearly, but just looked like someone who has been there before, "Bring me some cotton swabs. I will sit on the sofa in the living room at night. No matter what noise you hear, don't come out. Stay here. Just stay in the master bedroom, I'll call you if it's taken care of."
Jiang Yucheng and Chen Lin looked at each other, feeling that there was no trace of a doctor in Shen Xing at this moment. He was not a proper demon slayer!
Not long after, they prepared the cotton swabs, and because neither of them was in the mood to cook, they just made a simple dinner. Shen Xing didn't mind, and the three of them ate casually in the living room.
Jiang Jialun stayed in the bedroom and did not show up. Chen Lin followed her usual habit and sent dinner directly to his bedroom.
After knocking on the door, Chen Lin opened the bedroom door. Because they were afraid that something might happen to their son in the house, they had already destroyed the lock on the door and could not lock it from the inside, so that it could be opened at any time from the outside.
All the curtains in the bedroom were closed and the lights were not turned on, resulting in very dark light.
Chen Lin walked to the bed with a bowl of steaming food. At this time, Jiang Jialun was already lying on the bed, covering his whole body with a quilt, and could not see anything.
"Jia Lun, the food is here, get up and eat it quickly, or it will get cold in a while," Chen Lin said.
Then he put the dishes and chopsticks on the bedside table.
At this time, even if Jiang Jialun didn't speak, he would answer with a "hmm", but today he didn't. Instead, he wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and lay motionless on the bed.
"Jia Lun, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Chen Lin asked with concern.
no answer.
Chen Lin was afraid that her son had a cold and did not say anything. She pulled the quilt nervously and said, "Here, let mom take a look. If he has a cold, I will get a thermometer to see if he has a fever."
Jia Lun still didn't answer in the quilt, and held the quilt tightly with both hands. Chen Lin couldn't lift it even if she lifted it.
She hesitated for a moment and grabbed a corner of the quilt, "Jia Lun? What's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, her fingers touched the back of her son's hand, and an almost biting cold feeling came, as if she had touched a piece of ice.
Chen Lin suddenly retracted her hand, her face slightly frightened, her eyes wide open, staring at the slight gap exposed in the corner of the quilt.
At this moment, the room fell into dead silence.
Chen Lin stopped talking, her eyes stayed on the gap in the quilt, unable to move away.
Vaguely, she seemed to hear a sound, a gurgling sound, coming from the quilt.
If you listen carefully, it sounds like someone is emitting an extremely dull groan.
Chen Lin felt that her limbs were cold and her thoughts had stopped. Although she was very close at the moment, she felt that the person covered under the quilt was not her son, but another person, or... a ghost!
Thinking of this, she didn't dare to speak anymore, but kept a look of horror on her face, retreated unconsciously, quietly retreated to the door of the bedroom, left the bedroom in one step, and closed the door.
"I...I feel that the person under the quilt in the bedroom is not..."
Chen Lin walked up to Shen Xing and Jiang Yucheng who were sitting in front of the sofa and spoke incoherently.
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Xing roughly understood what she wanted to express. He took the words and ordered: "I understand. From now on, you should not enter the bedroom for the time being, and do not have any contact with Jia Lun for the time being. Wait for me to deal with it tonight."
"Okay...ok." Chen Lin nodded.
"Sorry to trouble you." Jiang Yucheng said gratefully.
Time passes minute by minute.
During this period, Jiang Yucheng and Chen Lin were restless. Shen Xing could see that although they were greeting him and trying to treat him as a guest, they could no longer hide their uneasiness.
So after nine o'clock in the evening, Shen Xing let the couple enter the bedroom.
There is also a bathroom in the master bedroom, and Shen Xing warned them not to come out again that night.
The two nodded repeatedly, entered the master bedroom, and immediately locked the bedroom door.
Shen Xing did not go to Jiang Jialun's bedroom to check. Instead, he drank tea and watched TV. From time to time, he took out his mobile phone to browse and called Feifei.
Soon the time came to eleven o'clock.
At first, Shen Xing could vaguely hear Jiang Yucheng and Chen Lin talking and moving in the master bedroom, but after ten o'clock, there was no sound anymore.
But what he was sure of was that neither of them was sleeping, but they just didn't dare to make any more noise.
Shen Xing stood up, turned off the TV, and walked to the door of Jiang Jialun's room.
He didn't knock on the door, but opened it directly. However, he didn't go in either. He just stood at the door and looked inside.
Without turning on the special pupils, Shen Xing's eyesight is still astonishing now with only his naked eyes, and his passive abnormal perception ability can also be radiated at any time after the characteristics are gathered together.
From what he could see, there was a person wrapped under the quilt on the bed. Everything else was normal. The food Chen Lin had sent in before had not been touched. It was still on the bedside table and had already gone cold.
Shen Xing could sense that there was no abnormality, which meant that the Meiying was just lurking and did not appear.
This type of anomaly in the Charming Infant is an abnormality under the surface that the "consultant" did not mention in the contract with Gu Fei. If it is not revealed in the latent state, it will not be discovered. Unless special means are used.
Shen Xing closed the door and did not go in. He needed to wait for the moment when Meiying himself appeared. If he directly forced Jiang Jialun now, it would not only bring psychological shadow to the child, but also make Meiying afraid to show up.
Returning to the sofa and sitting down, Shen Xing checked his cell phone for a while. The room was silent. He blocked his nostrils with cotton and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
Blocking the nose is to prevent the charming baby's breath from being fascinated. Although I don't know if this method will work, it is always good to be prepared.
I don't know how long it took, but when I opened my eyes, I found that the surroundings were completely dark.
The lights in the living room were turned off at some point, and I was half-lying on the sofa. The surroundings were eerily quiet.
Not only that, the lighting rate of this room in the Jiang family is very poor. The window is blocked by a wall, and the street lights cannot shine in at all, making the surrounding area even darker.
Shen Xing made no movement and remained in a half-lying position. He narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Jiang Jialun's bedroom.
At this moment, the bedroom door was already half-open, and Jiang Jialun was not seen. It was unknown whether he had just walked out of the bedroom or was still inside.
Shen Xing could hear his own heartbeat, which was neither fast nor slow. Now when facing these anomalies, he no longer had the initial fear.
However, a little nervousness is inevitable, but it is far from the point where it disrupts my own rhythm.
He focused his attention on the door of the bedroom, but never saw the dark shadow of the little boy appear.
"Has it already come out?" Doubts arose in my heart.
At this moment, next to the sofa where Shen Xing was half-lying, a dark figure suddenly stood up. While standing up, the little head stiffly came to Shen Xing and stared at him with open eyes.
Shen Xing's eyes closed a second early, and a cold feeling spread throughout his body at this time. The source of the cold feeling was the boy beside him.
At this moment, he could feel a vague abnormal sensation coming from Jiang Jialun's body. Although this feeling was not very strong, it was known that the charming baby was appearing.
After staring at himself for a while, Jiang Jialun straightened up, walked barefoot to a wooden stool next to the sofa, and then slowly sat down.
According to Chen Lin, Jiang Jialun's habit of getting up in the middle of the night was to sit on the sofa and sit in a daze for an hour or two. But today, the sofa was occupied by Shen Xing in advance, so after observing it, he chose to sit on the sofa. On the wooden stool next to it.
Shen Xing half-opened his eyes and just looked at him quietly, still making no sound.
Although it was very dark in the room, after my eyes adapted to the darkness, I could still vaguely see the outline, and it was not completely black.
About ten minutes later, Shen Xing's eyes narrowed and he saw a bare arm stretched out from behind on the back of Jiang Jialun who was sitting in the darkness and wrapped around his neck.
Not long after, another identical small arm stretched out from the other side and also hugged Jiang Jialun's neck.
The skin of these two arms was pale and looked even thinner than Jiang Jialun's arms. Not long after they appeared, a dark head slowly arched on Jiang Jialun's back and lay on his back. superior.
During this period, Jiang Jialun never moved, his expression was stiff, his pupils were blurry, and he seemed to be completely unaware of anything.
A little boy sat upright on a chair in the dark living room without making any sound, and on his back lay another slightly smaller boy.
The boy's mouth seemed to be pressing on the middle of Jiang Jialun's back, making a slight sucking sound.
"It seems that adults have more bad emotions. Why do you have to suck an ignorant child?" Shen Xing's words suddenly sounded, as if he was mumbling to himself, but in this silent night, it was enough for Meiying to hear.
The sound of sucking Yun stopped instantly, and a pair of eyes emerged from behind Jiang Jialun and looked at Shen Xing.
These eyes are very big, so big that it makes people feel scary, occupying almost a quarter of a face!
Not only that, the eyes were just wide open, as if they were fake, and would not blink at all, giving off a lively, yet extremely rigid sense of absurdity.
"ah--"
At this moment, the guy behind Jiang Jialun made a sound that was very familiar to Shen Xing. It was a sign that he was about to sneeze.
"Bad emotions are just a reaction in your heart. You are eager to receive a large amount of bad emotions, but you have forgotten the despair and subconscious resistance to this instinctive absorption that exists deep in your heart..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a puff and a slight sneeze.
The picture in front of Shen Xing changed instantly. It was no longer a dark room, but in his doctor's high-end apartment. At this moment, he was carving a work in front of his workbench.
He seemed to have forgotten the scene just now, and was just concentrating on carving, forgetting everything around him.
But the next second, Achai, dressed in black, appeared next to the workbench, bending over and looking down at him.
Shen Xing was a little stunned. Holding the carving knife in his hand, he raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
"You're in." Achai said.
Shen Xing was stunned: "When did I hear you speak directly?"
As soon as these words came out, Achai was also stunned and shook his head in surprise.
Shen Xing then recalled the meaning of Achai's words just now and asked: "Am I... in a dream now?"
Achai nodded: "Just came in."
"Then let me out." Shen Xing said.
As soon as he finished speaking, everything in front of him disappeared instantly.
Shen Xing straightened up on the sofa, as if in a trance. When he woke up, he quickly realized that the "causal isolation" he had just turned on was still running.
He continued: "Your instinctive resistance to absorbing bad emotions will be infinitely amplified at a certain point, until you can no longer accept yourself as you are now, and now you continue to absorb innocent people..."
"Ah sneeze!"
The scene changed again. Shen Xing was still sitting in front of the workbench. The wood carving in his hand kept changing its position. The carving knife in his right hand was moving quickly on it, and his fingers were flying like a phantom.
"Master, you're in again." Achai's voice sounded behind him.
Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the knife paused, but then he continued to carve the wood carving in his hand, and said without looking back: "The same method will wake me up."
While speaking, a small black shadow of a child appeared at the studio door behind him. His huge eyes stared at Shen Xing's back, and he stuck out a black tongue and licked his lips.
As soon as the screen went dark, Shen Xing found himself awake again and sitting on the sofa.
He did not hesitate, and his consciousness quickly caught the previous sentence, and then said: "Sucking bad emotions will gradually make you feel sick. You will not be able to accept yourself that you can't even control your own behavior. You will start to think about your next goal..."
"Ah sneeze!"
As soon as the scene changed, Shen Xing sat in front of the sunny workbench again. The wood carving he had been carving in his hands gradually took shape. As his fingers flew around, pieces of wood chips fell down.
"Master, it seems that this is not going to work!" Achai's figure appeared in front of the workbench again.
"What's wrong?" Shen Xing asked as he kept working.
"This is the third time you've come in." Achai reminded.
"Oh, is it that often?" Shen Xing continued to quickly carve the work in his hand, frowning slightly.
"Yes." Achai nodded.
"Look at me, am I very busy even in my dreams?" Shen Xing suddenly laughed.
At this moment, the figure of the boy with giant eyes lying at the door of the studio moved a little closer, silently, and the tongue in his mouth became longer and longer, dancing in front of him.
Taking advantage of the moment when Shen Xing and Achai were talking, it quickly crawled over using both hands and feet, and jumped towards Shen Xing's back with a flick of its legs.
Shen Xing suddenly put down the carving knife, turned slightly, and faced the work he had just finished in his hand.
At this moment, the boy with giant pupils suddenly discovered that the wood carving that Shen Xing had been carving in his dream turned out to be his own appearance, lying on his stomach, with long and thin limbs, very large pupils, and a small head.
Whoosh!
The boy disappeared.
The scene in front of him disappeared at the same time, and Shen Xing found that he was still sitting on the sofa, looking up at the boy with huge eyes lying behind Jiang Jialun, and then he finished what he had not finished just now.
"You will start to think about whether your next goal...is to absorb your own bad emotions!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy lying on Jiang Jialun's back loosened his limbs and slowly slid down.
Cause and effect isolation completed!
Although during this process, Shen Xing was always affected by the breath from the Meiying.
But he had a plan in advance, not only to restrain the Meiying in the dream, but also to trap the Meiying in a cause-and-effect detour in reality.
The "cause" is also that the Meiying absorbs bad emotions, and the "effect" is that the Meiying itself has bad emotions at the same time, forming a causal loop that goes astray, pointing directly at itself.
