Things changed, and something happened that surprised me again.
My coldness has disappeared. The weird coldness that has been wrapped around me for a long time disappeared for no reason yesterday. Just like the inexplicable sudden appearance, it disappeared again for no reason. I can't find the answer to this. I only know that I am no longer cold. Although the cold is There are no more faces, but the number of faces in my eyes has gradually increased!
After the first face, seven or eight more faces appeared in front of my eyes. They were just like the first face. They seemed to be similar. It felt like I had seen them before, and each of them was like a massless ghost. They are floating in the air all the time, like a swarm of flies that cannot be driven away, surrounding me for a long time. No matter where I go, they are always in my eyes. When I am alone, they are in my eyes. When I walk on the street When I went to school, they were in my eyes. Even if I was in a shopping mall with people coming and going, they were still clearly displayed in my eyes. They existed for a long time and were suspended in my field of vision for a long time. Even if I closed my eyes, I could still see them. Those faces.
only……
There were clearly a bunch of faces floating in my eyes, but passers-by couldn't see them. No one could see the nearly ten faces floating in the air.
I once asked a passerby in a tentative tone if he had seen anything. The other person's answer was no. On the contrary, he looked me up and down with a weird look like a madman.
As a result, human faces became my lingering nightmare, and they stayed with me for a long time, always surrounding me, until...
Until today, when I took a group photo with a group of patients, I discovered the truth.
I suddenly discovered that the group of faces that seemed similar to me and had been pestering me recently actually existed. They were actually several patients in the hospital, or they had similar appearances to several of them.
I didn’t know what was going on, but after I discovered that the faces looked similar to those of several of the patients, I felt angry inside.
The fourth diary:
October 23, 1969, the weather was light rain.
There are more and more familiar faces.
The initial number of nearly ten faces gradually increased to dozens of faces. I don’t know how they appeared, but I have already recognized them. They are hospital patients. They are all the mentally ill people living in Kunchiyan. The faces of these patients in the hospital lingered in front of my eyes in a way that was far and near, sometimes close and sometimes far away, and sometimes rotating side by side and moving lightly like a group of lanterns. They accompanied me and entangled me 24 hours a day. , causing me to be in unimaginable depression all the time.
but……
Why?
Why are you doing this to me?
As the dean, I not only did my best, but also fulfilled my responsibilities beyond my own job. I worked tirelessly to take care of you. I treated you like family. I gave up a lot over the years. I gave up the relationship between men and women. , I gave up my personal time, I have never even gotten married and started a family, I am so good to you, for you, I gave up too much, but what did I get in exchange for it in the end?
Except for a few worthless certificates of honor, all that is left is coldness, isolation, loneliness, and the retribution of kindness and hatred by you, the sick!
Why? Why is this happening? I have never done anything sorry to you, I have not beaten or scolded you, I have not abused you, I have not made any expressions or gestures that I despise you. On the contrary, I treat you well and treat you like family, but I have never dreamed of it. What comes to mind is that all these efforts have resulted in this result. You are pestering me, hovering in my field of vision like a group of scoundrels seeking your life. Some of you are looking at me ferociously, and some are looking at me frequently. Weird laughter and countless wails echoed in my ears.
I can't hold on anymore, I'm about to collapse from your torture.
I hate you, I hate you even more!
……………
The fifth diary:
October 25, 1969, the weather was heavy rain.
My instinct told me that I could no longer hold on, that I could no longer escape, that there was no hope of escaping from the lingering torture, that this was my fate, my final outcome.
What's the ending?
The ending is death, being entangled to death by those countless faces until the end of my life.
Once upon a time, I thought that good people will be rewarded with good things. Unfortunately, I was wrong. It turns out that there is no such thing as good people being rewarded with good things in the world. It seems that I am still too naive. Yes, it is exactly as expected. The number of faces has increased again. , nearly a hundred human faces floated and wandered in my eyes. They all entangled me, making various expressions and making various sounds in front of me in a continuous manner. Some faces were full of ferocious roars, and some had distorted faces. I kept laughing strangely. They were witches, pestering me all the time like the inexhaustible squirrels. My eyes were filled with their crazy looks, and my ears were filled with their cries and howls. They were like this all day long. It keeps bothering me.
They are patients, all patients of Kunjiam Mental Hospital!
They want me to die, they want to kill me this way, so...
I hate them!
My hatred for them has reached its peak!
It seems it's time.
It's time to end all this. I want to end this group of mongooses, and send these mongooses that have been pestering me all the time back to where they belong, and send them to hell, no matter what the cost, even if the cost is myself. .
Tomorrow is the time to end all this!
Hehe, hehe, hehehe, ahhahahaha!
………
The diary ended abruptly in the increasingly scrawled handwriting, and ended abruptly in the twisted laughter filled with madness.
The above is the overall content of the fifth diary, and it is also the entire content of all diaries. At the end is a paragraph of laughter words that is scrawled to the point of being twisted. At this point, the diary ends, and there is no more content after it. The time is also fixed in 1969. October 25th. new
The five diaries were all visible to Zhao Pingqing.
"Gudu."
There is no reason, no reason. After reading all the diary contents, Zhao Ping's throat moved slightly in the bedroom, and then he swallowed unconsciously, and two words popped up in his mind:
crazy!
Yes, crazy, completely crazy. This was Zhao Ping's intuitive judgment. It was the intuitive judgment he came to after reading five diaries. He concluded that Park Aiying's mental state at that time must have reached a certain extreme. To put it bluntly, he is a madman, and only a mentally abnormal madman can write such a diary content that is almost weird or even so weird that it makes people's hair stand on end.
There is no doubt that he has basically learned the general outline of the matter. Through the contents of the five increasingly crazy diaries, Park Aiying most likely had mental problems at that time. If not, then she would not have been cold for no reason. It is even more impossible to see human faces for no reason. Indeed, although Zhao Ping is not a psychiatrist and has no research on psychiatry, he is after all a highly educated person with rich knowledge. He is a lawyer. In a sense, so is a lawyer. It is a profession that involves psychological analysis. If you do not understand analysis, it is impossible for a lawyer to improvise a strategy in a courtroom that is equivalent to a battlefield. Only by doing this can a lawyer complete the defense for the client or even launch a counterattack against the enemy lawyer. Therefore, relying on his rich knowledge and the unique analysis of a lawyer, Zhao Ping instantly understood the cause and effect as soon as he read the diary, that is...
Park Aiying is crazy and has a mental problem! .
It is said that before a person becomes crazy for the first time, he usually does not go crazy suddenly as shown in the movie, but there is a gradual evolution process. The so-called evolution refers to the gradual abnormality of the mind under certain inducements, and refers to thinking and logic. , understanding and various changes in rationality. As mental abnormalities occur, the world in the eyes of the sick person will also change accordingly. In the eyes of a real madman, the picture he sees is different from that of a normal person. They will see all kinds of strange scenes and hear all kinds of inexplicable sounds, especially schizophrenia patients. In the many senses of these patients, the world is abstract, as twisted and colorful as Picasso's abstract oil paintings. Logic, being able to see or hear many things that normal people cannot detect, is like those faces that appeared out of thin air in Park Aiying's eyes. Maybe they are fictional scenes created by Park Aiying's madness, the so-called body becoming cold. Like the increase in faces, it is almost an additional effect of mental disorder. Finally, the number increases as the condition gradually worsens. In short, after reading Park Aiying's diary, Zhao Ping subconsciously thought that Park Aiying was crazy and suffering from I have some kind of mental illness. As for what kind of mental illness it is?
Judging from Park Ae-young's reaction to being able to remain normal at work after being ill, it feels very much like schizophrenia, a hidden mental illness that is not completely crazy.
"Are you crazy? If that's the case, it would make sense to poison those mentally ill patients, but..."
In the bedroom, Zhao Ping closed the diary in his hand and muttered to himself with his back to the door. He seemed to have found some kind of answer. But at the end of the sentence, the man changed the topic and paused suddenly. After that, he frowned and fell into deep thought. , no one knows what he is thinking at the moment, but if you look carefully, you can still see something from the man's almost confused expression. At this moment, the man is thinking about a problem, a problem that he cannot understand even if he understands the cause and effect. The second question I have figured out, a deep question for which no definite answer can be found, is...
How did Park Ae-young become crazy?
Or what is the reason why Park Aiying, who was originally sane, became inexplicably crazy?
It is often said that everything has a cause and an effect. If the result is the collective death of dozens of mental patients and the mysterious disappearance of Park Aiying, then what happened that year?
What is the reason for Park Aiying's sudden madness? After all, everyone knows that mental illness is different from other diseases. This is a disease that comes from the brain center. Although it is not as contagious as other diseases, the pain it causes can sometimes exceed the pain of physical diseases. Moreover, a person cannot It is impossible to go crazy for no reason. There is always a reason anyway, an original trigger that prompts people to become mentally abnormal!
This question is critical, at least in Zhao Ping's view. Only by finding the original cause of Park Aiying's inexplicable madness can he analyze it further. Yes, as He Fei has said many times in the past, you can be as intelligent and outstanding as you want. , how to analyze excellence, as long as you are still human, it is impossible for you to guess the answer and result out of thin air without clues. At this moment, Zhao Ping fell into the clueless state mentioned by He Fei. He did not deny that he had found the diary. It was a major discovery, but Zhao Ping never imagined that after reading the contents of the diary, he would fall into deeper doubts.
(What is the reason for Park Ae-young going crazy?)
At this moment, relying on his excellent logical thinking, Zhao Ping concluded that the dozens of mentally ill patients who died collectively that year most likely died at the hands of Park Aiying, and that the inducement that prompted Park Aiying to poison and kill was something. Suspected of a schizophrenic disease, the conclusion is impeccable, but the question is what is the trigger that caused Park Aiying to go crazy?
(It feels very strange, incomprehensibly strange. As I said before, a person cannot go crazy on his own for no reason. In the final analysis, there is always a reason. Could it be that there is a sudden change in his family or life, which is why he is greatly stimulated and goes crazy? ? No, it’s unlikely. Park Aiying’s family situation is relatively simple, and there is almost no possibility of sudden mental shock. Her life is just as ordinary as water, just a common single life, and her work is smooth sailing. The doctor under her The nurses respected her, and the hospitalized mental patients loved her. She was even awarded many times by the government during her tenure as the dean. It is true that the single life made Park Aiying a little lonely, but it is undeniable that she is still a successful person. This kind of life has surpassed most ordinary people. People can almost be described as happy. Since there are no problems in family, life and work, how did Park Aiying go crazy?).
(Damn, I still can’t figure it out, well, it seems that’s the only way to go…)
Perhaps after pondering for a long time, he really couldn't figure out the answer or cause, or maybe he had to continue searching in the meantime. Under the pressure of time, Zhao Ping gave up thinking. He first put the diary in his arms, and then reached into his pocket to touch his mobile phone.
Obviously, he wanted to contact someone and planned to tell He Fei, who was far away in the hotel, about the diary clues he had just discovered. After all, the purpose of leading the team out was just to investigate clues and obtain information. As for the analysis of doubts, he could not take care of it for the time being. Since we can't take care of it for the time being, we have to leave the problem to He Fei and his group to figure out first.
Following this logic of responsibility, Zhao Ping reached out to touch his phone, but...
despair!
Click, click, click, click, click...
The moment Zhao Ping put his hand into his pocket, before he even took out his phone, he heard a sound, a series of sudden snapping sounds and a series of rhythmic banging sounds.
The sound is somewhat familiar, a familiar sound that everyone has an impression of. The change from high to low, the acceleration from slow to fast, the rhythm is extremely obvious, so obvious that everyone knows it.
At this moment, Zhao Ping heard the sound with his own ears. In this dusty and silent bedroom, he suddenly heard a familiar sound, a string of bouncing sounds caused by a certain ball falling to the ground!
(Um?)
Sure enough, the moment he heard the sound, Zhao Ping was stunned. His body froze like a stone statue, and he was frozen for only half a second. Then, Zhao Ping suddenly turned around and looked behind him. Toward the door where the sound came from, and then...
He saw the ping pong ball.
A pure white ping pong ball was bouncing up and down next to the door, bouncing lightly and making crisp sounds.
Click, click, click, click, click...
To be honest, as a well-known sports ball, table tennis is too common and is the most common sports ball in daily life. Whether it is in school or at home, it is normal for table tennis to appear. That's right, but the strange thing is that just now, after discovering a table tennis ball bouncing next to the door, Zhao Ping's heart suddenly tightened. Not only did his heart suddenly tighten, but even his pupils twitched slightly unconsciously. Shrinking, the whole person's nerves are tense!
(Ping pong ball? Where did it come from? Did it roll from another room?)
As an ordinary human being controlled by the subconscious, as expected, when he saw the ping pong ball, Zhao Ping was not only surprised, but also subconsciously guessed whether the ping pong ball came from other rooms and whether he was rummaging for something in other rooms. Cheng Ying and others inadvertently overturned something, which allowed the ping pong ball that did not belong here to roll into the bedroom. This was the guess, but Zhao Ping instantly overturned the above guess a second later. The reason was simple, and The reason is precisely physical logic. Yes, if the ping-pong ball came from other rooms and rolled here from other rooms, then the ping-pong ball would not be still beating, but would have rolled on the spot. But in fact? In fact, the ping pong ball in front of you is not rolling, but jumping in place, jumping up and down as if it had just been thrown on the ground!
As for the bedroom where I am?
There is no table tennis here, there is no such thing!
Yes, because the purpose of coming here is to search, from the moment he first walked into the bedroom, Zhao Ping scanned the room carefully. Although there were many items in the room, he never saw a table tennis ball from beginning to end. The surroundings were like this, The roof is also empty, and there is no rope rack to hang items. If this is the case, what is going on with this ping pong ball that looks like it fell from the sky? Where did it come from?
Also worth mentioning is...
I remember that the original movie "Gonjiam" introduced Park Ae-young's love for playing table tennis back then, and it seems that table tennis also appeared in the plot. .
Ding!
Let’s get back to the topic. Although there is a lot of description above, the process is actually very short. From Zhao Ping’s initial discovery of the ball to recalling the past at this moment, the process took only two seconds. At this moment, he was staring at the table tennis ball that was still bouncing up and down in front of the goal. , in an instant, Zhao Ping's heart was beating wildly, and his face suddenly changed. The face that had just shown doubts turned white in an instant, and his whole person was wrapped in fear!
Then……
brush!
With his flaw still about to burst, Zhao Ping ran away and rushed straight to the bedroom door, shouting loudly as he ran frantically: "Chen Xiao..."
Bang!
Zhao Ping's scream was interrupted, forcibly interrupted by another louder impact. Not only was the scream interrupted, but the bespectacled man's galloping just stopped suddenly.
The reason is very simple. Before he could rush out of the room and escape from the bedroom, ahead, the bedroom door that was still wide open closed. It closed on its own without any sign of any external force, as if Being pushed hard by an invisible person, Ban Jing instantly touched the door frame, and it was completely closed when Zhao Ping was still half a meter away from running out of the room!
bump!
"Woo!"
Bang dong, bang dong, bang dong!
"Drink!"
Driven by inertia, Zhao Ping bumped into the door without any accident. The collision made his body numb and he screamed in pain. It was true that his body hurt, but he couldn't care about it. As soon as he saw the door closing, the man's face showed He ferociously raised his foot and kicked the door in front of him ferociously, using all his strength to hit it with all his strength. His whole body was completely crazy. For a while, the sound of impact was endless, and then he roared and hit the door frequently.
There is no doubt that Zhao Ping was frightened and almost paralyzed by the strange sudden change in front of him. The reason that caused him to frantically bang on the door with fear was clearly supernatural power!
Yes, when faced with the inexplicable closing of the door, others may not know it clearly, but Zhao Ping knew that it was a supernatural force. There was a change in the bedroom. An unknown force quietly appeared and planned to attack him. In order to prevent himself from escaping, he decided in advance Seal the bedroom door to block your escape route. Once the door is closed, there is only one fate waiting for you, and that is death. You will 100% be killed!
It was precisely because he knew this that he immediately ran away after discovering the strange ball, trying to escape from the bedroom before danger occurred. No, not only did he want to escape from the bedroom, he also wanted to escape from the house, no matter what. No matter what, you must get out of danger before it happens.
First of all, it is certain that Zhao Ping guessed correctly. Not only did he guess correctly, but all his reactions during the period were also as good as possible. They were completely in line with the strong reactions that a senior person should have. From detecting an abnormality to running away, the whole process happened in an instant. In this way, Zhao Ping's reaction was extremely fast, almost as fast as a human being could reach. Even if it were a sharp-minded professional killer like Cheng Ying, it would only be at this level.
The logic was correct, but what the man with glasses never imagined was...
In the face of that mysterious and unknown power, she was still a step too slow. Before he could rush out of the bedroom, the door had already been closed in advance, closing itself like lightning before he could rush out!
The matter is not over yet, the horror is far from over, and something even weirder is yet to come.
Bang!
Bump, bump, bump!
"Someone! Come quickly, Cheng Ying, Chen Xiaoyao! Open the door quickly!"
As mentioned above, seeing that the door was so strong that it could not be opened, Zhao Ping shouted again, shouting crazily with a voice that could be heard throughout the sky, and kept calling for help from other executioners outside. This was certain and inevitable. After confirming that he could not hit With the door tightly open and closed, seeking external rescue is undoubtedly the best option. Zhao Ping is not the only one currently staying in a private house, but the strange thing is...
His voice was loud and he was roaring endlessly, but no matter how much he shouted, there was no movement outside the door, and he was silent from beginning to end. _&
