Liu Mengwei said goodbye to Qiu Yuchuan in a hurry.
The way he looked at her made her feel uncomfortable. Liu Mengwei felt that he was like a mountain lion that smelled blood, always ready to rush up and bite her throat.
Walking out of the gate of the institute, the fresh air of dew in the morning made her feel much more relaxed.
She saw a familiar car parked next to her car.
Ling Feng poked his head out of the car window, his haggard and tired expression visible to the naked eye. As long as the case remains unsolved, they have little time to rest.
"Why are you here?" Liu Mengwei was surprised, but her mood improved inexplicably when she saw him. An upright person can always bring people a sense of security.
"Our technical team conducts real-time monitoring of the road here. Whenever there is a suspicious person or vehicle, an alarm will be automatically issued," Ling Feng said.
Liu Meng smiled and said: "It turns out that I am a suspicious person."
Ling Feng also smiled: "It's not that you are suspicious, but the time you appeared is a little unusual, so the alarm was triggered, so I came over to take a look."
"Do you think Guhuoniao will come so blatantly?" Liu Mengwei felt that he was thinking too simply.
"I'm worried that if he knew that you were the one who advocated sending Lin Xuerou here, he would be angry with you."
His voice sounded raw and tender. Liu Meng was slightly startled, and a trace of guilt suddenly arose in her heart. She didn't know if hiding Lin Xuerou in this research institute could lure out the bird, but at least that wasn't her original intention. But Ling Feng actually took her suggestion so seriously and even thought more about it. If you achieve nothing in the end, your efforts are in vain, your passion is extinguished by reality, your expectations are frustrated again and again, the sun and the moon are turned upside down, and good people are not rewarded, how should people deal with themselves in that case?
"What's wrong with you?" Ling Feng called softly again.
She came to her senses and didn't dare to look into his eyes again. He walked to the passenger seat, opened the door, sat in, and breathed out: "It's so cold outside!"
Ling Feng turned on the air conditioner in the car and adjusted it to the highest setting. A burst of warm air instantly blew away the cold air brought in from outside.
"Why are you going out at this time?" Ling Feng coughed slightly and changed the subject.
"I can't sleep and want to go for a drive." After saying this, she felt that this reason was terrible, but it didn't matter. Ling Feng was not a person willing to pursue such trivial matters. Unlike Wen Qiao, something suddenly popped into her head. The man with gloomy eyes emerged.
Sincerity is such a beautiful quality, but some people don’t deserve it. She thought with some sadness that she would rather face Wen Qiao, two people who hide secrets from each other, and be able to confront each other tit for tat, without having to feel sorry for each other.
"Do you think there are ghosts in this world?" Liu Mengwei suddenly asked quietly. A small figure wearing a hospital gown stood in front of the tall glass window of the institute. It was Lin Xuerou.
Ling Feng was a little confused, her topic jumped too quickly, but she still thought about her question seriously: "I don't think so. If ghosts really exist in this world, after those heinous murderers accept the legal trial, The soul can still be immortal. If this is the case, what kind of order can there be?"
Seeing that Liu Mengwei was silent, Ling Feng asked: "So... what is Professor Liu's opinion on this issue?"
"The human soul, or consciousness, needs to be attached to matter. We now generally think that this matter is the brain. After the physical body is annihilated, does consciousness really disappear out of thin air? It has truly existed, and everyone can feel it. But now it has lost its attachment and can only wander in another time and space like a ghost. It cannot return to the body of the dead because it has become the same thing as vegetation and stones, and it cannot occupy the body of a living person because it has already been It has a much more powerful master."
Polaris is still bright in the sky.
"The human brain is a masterpiece of natural evolution. It can think, reason, create, and produce what we call 'consciousness'. But is this all? Why do dark and humid forests, claustrophobic wilderness, and obscure night orders The hair on your head stands up? There is obviously nothing there, so why is our consciousness disturbed? What is disturbing our nerves?" Liu Mengwei asked.
"Do you think it's those wandering ghosts? So, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?" Ling Feng looked at her with a complicated look.
Liu Mengwei also felt his strange emotion, and just said: "There are too many unsolved mysteries in this world. We are just ants crawling on a white paper, we can only crawl from one corner to another in an orderly manner. But we don’t have the ability to fold paper so that we can reach the sky in one step.”
Ling Feng laughed awkwardly: "It's better not to have ghosts in this world. Things in the world are already so troublesome. If there is one more thing like this, it will probably cause chaos."
"Those things you hate, you hope they can disappear immediately, but what about those things you love? Would you want to try to keep them, even if it means seeing a shadow again, or having a dream that comes true?"
Ling Feng's heart sank. So far in his life, he had not experienced the pain of separation or death of his loved ones. His parents, relatives and friends were all around him. This journey could be regarded as smooth. Although I have experienced several disasters, I have never lost anything. Without true loss, there is no personal experience.
A person appeared next to Lin Xuerou's thin figure. Qiu Yuchuan stood side by side with her in front of the third-floor window and looked down at the vehicles below.
Qiu Yuchuan gently put his hand on the girl's shoulder and moved his lips, as if murmuring to himself: "She ran so fast. I really shouldn't have let her go just now. So I only left her for such a short time." I just miss her, can you call her back?"
He leaned down and called softly into the girl's ear, as if he was reciting a string of spells: "Open the car door quickly, get out of it, and come back to me."
The girl spoke slowly, her voice like a soft song: "Open the car door quickly, get out of it, and come back to me."
She said it three times in a row before stopping.
Before they finished speaking, they saw a person coming out of the car parked downstairs, it was Liu Mengwei.
Qiu Yuchuan opened his eyes wide in surprise.
But Liu Mengwei didn't walk towards the research institute, but towards another car, which was her own car.
Qiu Yuchuan was a little anxious: "Hurry up and keep her! Hurry up and call her back!"
But the girl just raised her head and stared at him with empty eyes, as if she didn't understand what he meant.
Qiu Yuchuan said with some disappointment: "Even if you can see other people's dreams, you can't understand a woman's heart."
"ghost."
"What?"
"She was thinking about ghosts."
Qiu Yuchuan was also stunned, this was not what he expected.
"I know a ghost." Another bombshell.
Qiu Yuchuan quickly reacted: "Where did we meet? In someone else's dream or in your own dream?"
"Her name is Jasmine."
"Really..." Suddenly, Qiu Yuchuan looked at her steadily: "You can still remember?"
Lin Xuerou turned around and took out a few pieces of paper from the drawer and handed them to him. Above is a simple portrait of a girl with an oval face, almond eyes, and long hair braided into two braids. The only thing that is special is that on the tip of her right eyebrow that is as curved as a hook, there is a round bean-sized circle. Shape imprint.
"Is this Jasmine?" Qiu Yuchuan asked, "Your ghost friend? Where is she now?"
Lin Xuerou suddenly pointed to her eyebrows.
"Then who are you?" Qiu Yuchuan asked excitedly.
"Me? I am me, not anyone, and can be anyone. When I dream about butterflies, I am a butterfly, and when I dream about jasmine, I am jasmine."
"This... this is so amazing!" Qiu Yuchuan was so excited that he was almost incoherent: "Which fairy and monster are you that jumped out of the stone?"
Qiu Yuchuan walked around her a few times: "Then do you know who Lin Xuerou is?"
The girl's pupils shrank and her body trembled slightly, but she still said: "I don't know."
"Your body reacts to this name, but there is no memory of it in your brain. The body looks like Lin Xuerou, but it is blank inside. Dreams can come in, ghosts can also come in, they can borrow your body, you You can be them." Qiu Yuchuan concluded: "This is so interesting!".
"It's a pity that your brain can only store memories for half an hour. After this time, those shadows will disappear." Qiu Yuchuan said with some regret.
"But why can you remember Jasmine? Is there anything special about this ghost?" Qiu Yuchuan muttered to himself while pacing carelessly, not paying any attention to the eyes behind him that were staring angrily at him.
