C81 (1/2)

The figure that walked past when I put down the phone was wearing ordinary modern clothes. Although it was also light, it was clearly different from that night's fluttering white clothes. I didn't see her appearance, didn't pay attention to her feet, wasn't sure if she was Xiaoqian, and wasn't sure if she drifted over or walked over.

The problem was that her speed wasn't fast. When I saw her passing by, I immediately chased after her, and after a few seconds, I had circled around the counter until I came out. There wasn't even a fork in the road, and with her speed, she could only walk a dozen meters, but I couldn't see anyone on the street that matched her figure …

Where could she go?

Or could it be that I'm really mistaken?

Was it an illusion?

The effect of the hallucinogen was this long?

Impossible. I pinched my thigh, feeling the pain, then looked at the scene on the street. My vision was also normal.

Then how to explain what just happened?

From the moment Qian appeared to the time that happened, there was a sense of strangeness to it.

Why couldn't anyone see her? Why did she suddenly disappear? Why did I get so carried away after I saw her? Why did I get drunk before drinking?

I wasn't a strict atheist, but after Yang Wenzhao was killed and Han Chunsheng disappeared, I already believed that there weren't any ghosts or gods in this world. Or even if there were, it wasn't the rumored existence, the bizarre murder of Yang Wenchao was a deliberate murder, and the bizarre disappearance of Han Chunsheng was the result of the close cooperation between Zhang Yingying and the members of 'Kuang'.

But this time, Xiao Qian gave me the feeling of a fox demon or a ghost.

”Ol 'Three, what the f * ck are you doing here?”

Li Fengyun's voice came from behind.

”Boss?” ”Why are you here?”

”I came out to eat, why are you still standing here? Didn't you get off work already? It's already been over ten minutes since I called you, shouldn't you go get something to eat …” Li Fengyun said.

Ten minutes?

How is this possible?

From the time I hung up the phone to the time I saw someone who looked like Xiaoqian, it was only three to four minutes after I chased them out and stood there thinking, right?

He took out his phone and looked at the call log. The call to Li Fengyun was made 15 minutes ago.

How could this be? Although it was hard to accept, he had to admit that his perception of time had deviated greatly.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Li Fengyun said, ”I'm asking you a question, what the hell?”

I still didn't answer. I didn't know how to tell him, thinking that he didn't believe me anyway, and that even if I told him the truth, it might just make him laugh.

”Boss, I'm fine. Let's go eat.”

”Fine, since you don't want to say it, I won't ask. Come, let's go eat.” Li Fengyun did not pursue the matter any further.

”It's not that I'm not willing to tell you, it's just that you're not willing to believe me …” He didn't say what he thought in his heart.

”...”

The next two days went by in a completely uneventful manner, with no progress being made on any of the difficult issues. There's no progress on Xu Haoqing's side. Li Fengyun doesn't quite believe me. I wonder where Xiao Qian went …

It was time to go to the hospital for a checkup.

Li Fengyun has been good to me these past two days. As long as we don't talk about Xiaoqian, he's still my good brother.

”Ol 'Three, I'll accompany you to the hospital.” Li Fengyun said.

”Right. Let's go.”

To tell the truth, I was still a little afraid of seeing a psychiatrist alone. Three years of bitter experience has dealt me too much of a blow, and I still haven't completely recovered from it.

With Li Fengyun by his side, he felt much more at ease.

It was the same doctor who had attended last time. The psychology department of the People's Hospital had not been independent from the neurology department for long, and the medical resources were limited.

”Young man, what are your symptoms?” The doctor said to the disheveled Li Fengyun.

”Doctor, the person who came to see you was me. Do you still remember me? My name is Shu Jing. You asked me to come for an examination today.” My heart said, this doctor is a bit unreliable, in their line of work, at least memory can't be too bad, right?

The doctor apologised awkwardly, flipped through my chart, and asked how I was feeling.

”It's alright. I haven't had that same repeated nightmare in the past three days. I don't know if it's because the nightmare cycle hasn't come or if the effects of the medicine have …” I answered truthfully.

”Of course it's the effect of the medicine, is there a need to ask?” The young doctor was somewhat displeased.

”Oh, oh, then what should we do now? Do we continue taking the medicine or …”

”Relax first, and slowly lie down …” He turned on the stereo and a pleasant light music floated over.

He was ready for hypnosis again.

”...”

Half an hour later, the doctor shook his head and said, ”Forget it, you failed this time. Shu Jing, your mental defenses are too strong, so it will be difficult to hypnotize you. I guess I won't be able to do it, so I can't explain why you keep dreaming like that.”

After giving me another week's worth of medicine, just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard the conversation of two medical personnel in the pharmacy …

”Did you hear? Our hospital lost a batch of medicine …”

”What medicine?” When did you lose it? ”

”It's been a while. It was discovered when you were on maternity leave. Fortunately, I wasn't on duty that day, otherwise, it would have been troublesome.”

”Oh, stolen? What medicine, did you call the police? ”

”He didn't report it to the police for fear of affecting our hospital's reputation, making people think that our security isn't good. As for who stole it, we still haven't figured it out yet. The surveillance camera was broken the day we threw the medicine …”
