"real body?"
Ning Qiushui's expression became strange, and she looked at Bai Xiaoxiao beside her. The latter shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not aware of this incident.
There was also no record in the document she showed just now.
"The true form of the 'Nightmare Old Lady'...isn't it herself?"
Ning Qiushui felt that he had asked an idiot question.
But he did wonder.
Zhao Er sighed.
"Remember what I told you before, ghosts must have an actual 'identity' when they come to this world."
"No ghost in this world can survive on something as illusory as dreams."
"Dreams... are just a 'medium' it uses to kill people and get close to their targets, just like water is to 'water people'."
"You have to find the 'Old Nightmare Lady' before I can help you get rid of her."
"You can't come to me with a bottle of mineral water, point to this bottle of mineral water and tell me to help you kill the water man... This is ridiculous, brother."
Ning Qiushui understood this time.
"Then...where can we find its true form?"
he asked.
Zhao Er pondered for a moment.
"Hmm... I'm not sure about this. This guy never shows his true identity to others, but since it enters other people's dreams to kill people, it must be dreaming itself. It is said that dreams come from the heart, and you can only look for clues in dreams. "
"Well, come to the mental hospital and find me, and I'll prepare something for you."
The two did not continue chatting. There were many things they couldn't talk about on the phone.
After Ning Qiushui hung up the phone, she put on her own clothes, said goodbye to Bai Xiaoxiao, and then took a car to Xiangchun Mental Sanatorium.
After the meeting, Zhao Er took out a bloody shabby dress in front of Ning Qiushui.
Just taking one look at the clothes, Ning Qiushui felt frightened.
"What's this?"
"shroud."
"who?"
"mine."
After a brief conversation, a strange smile appeared on Zhao Er's face.
"You know, after I enter the Blood Gate... I don't appear as an NPC every time."
"Occasionally……"
"I will also become the BOSS guarding the Blood Gate."
"You can take this thing and put it on after you find the true form of the Nightmare Old Lady."
Ning Qiushui took the shroud handed by Zhao Er and picked it up carefully.
"Thank you very much."
"Don't thank me, I'll help you... In fact, I also gained something."
Zhao Er meant something profound, but he didn't explain it clearly.
He always likes to go straight to the point. If he doesn't say it now, he just can't say it.
Holding the shroud he gave, Ning Qiushui suddenly thought of something again and said:
"By the way, I'll lend it to you."
As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and opened the video file sent to him by "Mole".
After the video file was opened, there was a sizzling sound of electricity first, and then, a picture with flashing pockmarks appeared on the black screen. The picture seemed to have been toned and was quite pale. In the picture, there was a A young man in a white coat and a middle-aged man with an anxious look.
The two were sitting across from each other in an empty room with only two chairs.
It stands to reason that an empty small room often makes people feel at ease because there are no dark corners, but for some reason, through the screen of her mobile phone, Ning Qiushui always felt that there was an indescribable weirdness in the room where the two of them were.
In the video, Dr. Chen Bin had his back to the camera, so Ning Qiushui could only see his back, but not his expression or face.
In the video, the two people sitting opposite each other started chatting.
…
Chen Bin [Doctor]: Mr. Du, don't be anxious. Whatever I ask, you answer. I will try my best to help you solve the problem.
"Patient" Du: Okay (embarrassed)
Chen Bin: You said that you have been having the same dream. In the dream, there is an old lady... approaching you?
Du: Yes, yes... She gets closer to me every day. Last night, she came to my doorstep last night! She's knocking on my door, and knocking... and knocking! (Looking increasingly excited, fingers cramping)
Chen Bin: Okay, okay, don't get excited yet, Mr. Du, believe me, believe me... We will solve the problem before she enters your room! (appease)
Du: Sorry, Dr. Chen... I'm just too scared. (Greetings, wiping sweat)
Chen Bin: So, tell me next, what does that old lady look like. (note in writing)
Du: She...she has white down on her face, like the meat that has been left in the kitchen for too long has become moldy. Her body is very stooped, and her muscles and bones seem to be bad, but she can hold her head very high, especially downstairs in my house. At that moment, her head felt like it was about to break... (looks horrified)
Chen Bin: What else? (write and draw)
Du: She, she has a lot of wrinkles on her face and her skin is very wrinkled. She looks very scary when she smiles. Her mouth... her mouth is filled with very sharp and dense teeth...
Chen Bin: Well... fangs, what about... eyes? (Continue to write and draw)
Du: I, I... I don’t remember... I don’t remember (covering head with hands, looking in pain)
Chen Bin: Okay, okay, do you think...is it like this? (Raises the drawing paper in hand and points it at the patient)
Du: Ahhh! (Screaming in terror, falling to the ground, turning around, rolling and crawling, and rushing out of the door)
…
Seeing this in the video, Ning Qiushui and Zhao Er next to him were stunned for a moment.
Chen Bin is a professional doctor who treats mental illness in Kyoto. Since he is a doctor, he should know very well not to scare mentally unstable patients like this, right?
And... Ning Qiushui looked at the video and always felt that something was not right. But with Zhao Er in the room, he had nothing to worry about. He simply pulled the video to the front and watched it again and again.
…
Chen Bin: Okay, okay, do you think...is it like this? (Raises the drawing paper in hand and points it at the patient)
Du: Ahhh! (Screaming in terror, falling to the ground, turning around, rolling and crawling, and rushing out of the door)
…
Chen Bin: Okay, okay, do you think...is it like this? (Raises the drawing paper in hand and points it at the patient)
Du: Ahhh! (Screaming in terror, falling to the ground, turning around, rolling and crawling, and rushing out of the door)
…
…
After seven or eight times in a row, Ning Qiushui said fiercely:
"wrong!"
Zhao Er on the side raised his eyelids slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Qiushui turned the screen back, pointed at the patient Du and said:
"Look, at this time, Mr. Du's eyes have been clearly focused on doctor Chen Bin!"
"He didn't even look at the painting in Chen Bin's hand!"
"It's Chen Bin, Chen Bin scared him like this!"
Zhao Er came to Ning Qiushui's side, and the two watched the video again.
Sure enough.
But just after the video ended, the picture above moved again!
The doctor Chen Bin, who had always had his back to the screen, suddenly turned his head slowly and looked at... Ning Qiushui and the two outside the screen!
There was a scary smile on his face.
"Welcome to make an appointment... both of you."
