Chapter 144 Obsession and Nightmare
"Zhiqing? Did you dream just now?" Lu Huai felt a little confused when he thought about his dream.
When Lin Zhiqing was asked this question, she recalled the messy scenes in her dream, and she decisively chose to evade the question with a few words.
After all, she can't say that she asked me to be with you in her dream before she died, right?
After she said a few words to evade the question, Lu Huai nodded. Thinking of his dream, he was afraid that Lin Zhiqing would ask about it, so he quickly looked at Jiang Liuyun beside him.
"Brother Jiang, is he still not awake?"
"That's right." Lin Zhiqing nodded. "The sound of the wind and the turning of pages in the study can put people into a dream state. Most people are unprepared and cannot resist it at all."
"I'll wake him up first, you keep watch for me."
"Okay." Lu Huai knew the situation was urgent, so he quickly stood further away, facing the gate of the study.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing first called Jiang Liuyun's name softly.
He didn't respond.
Moreover, the expression on his face was as if he was trapped in a nightmare, and it was very ugly.
Lin Zhiqing frowned, feeling a little strange. Could it be that his dream was not a perfect state of life?
She decided to give it a try: "Jiang Liuyun, what you saw was an illusion. You must wake up after I count to three."
"Listen carefully, I'm going to start counting." Lin Zhiqing stood a little further away and raised her voice: "One, two, three!"
She finished counting the numbers, but Jiang Liuyun didn't react.
It was really impossible to wake him up, so Lin Zhiqing took a few steps forward and patted his shoulder.
Still no use.
Lu Huai also noticed Lin Zhiqing's movements. He asked softly, "What's going on?"
Lin Zhiqing's expression was stern. "The dream on the first floor will try to keep the dreamer inside the scene. He probably didn't notice anything was wrong, so he couldn't wake up."
"By the way, how did you wake up?"
Lu Huai didn't expect her to ask this question. This question concerned Jiang Liuyun's life. After hesitating for a while, he told the truth: "I saw my jade abacus and then I woke up."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing nodded, and she thought of her dream again.
What a coincidence, she also saw the small and exquisite jade abacus.
Dreams are the brain's transformation of things and objects that people come into contact with in their daily lives into scenes through certain processing.
So many familiar people and similar things appear in Lin Zhiqing's dreams.
But he didn't know what Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun dreamed about.
Lu Huai unexpectedly broke free from the dream on his own, but Jiang Liuyun couldn't even wake himself up after falling asleep, which meant that he had already become somewhat immersed in the dream.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing spoke again: "Is the scene in your dream the life you have always dreamed of?"
Lu Huai blinked, his expression somewhat unnatural. After thinking for a while, he still couldn't come up with an answer: "Mostly, the dream I had was very strange."
"My dreams are also very strange." Lin Zhiqing thought thoughtfully. In this case, the dreams of the three of them should have similarities, such as an ideal state.
The people I like also like me.
I can definitely do what I want to do.
Every aspect of the person I like is my ideal type.
This is the ideal state of dreams created by the study on the first floor.
Apart from creating an ideal perfect life scene, or creating the obsession of a hypnotized person, Lin Zhiqing could not think of any other conditions that would make people indulge in dreams.
The process of her waking people up from hypnosis was also based on this condition to give Jiang Liuyun a psychological preset.
But now this condition seems to be not true. Lin Zhiqing is not sure what Jiang Liuyun dreamed about, and of course he can't wake her up.
After listening to Lin Zhiqing's explanation, Lu Huai also understood the seriousness of the situation: "In other words, unless we know what he dreamed about, we can't wake him up?"
"That's not the case. There is another way." Lin Zhiqing pinched his chin.
"What method?" The mind-examination that Lu Huai had come into contact with tonight was beyond his understanding. He subconsciously thought that this method would be difficult.
"Wait a moment." Lin Zhiqing did not answer immediately. She looked around as if she was looking for something.
After a while, her eyes lit up and she walked straight towards the grass not far from the corner of the wall.
Although Lu Huai was puzzled, he still stood where he was, keeping an eye on all directions and listening carefully, giving Lin Zhiqing some information.
Lin Zhiqing squatted down in front of the grass, reached out to pull away the grass, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Soon, she turned back.
Seeing the wild flower in her hand, Lu Huai was even more puzzled. He couldn't help but ask, "Zhiqing, can this flower wake up Brother Jiang?"
"Let me try it first." She didn't say too much.
"A wild flower can actually be used in this way." Lu Huai nodded thoughtfully, as if thinking that he could use flowers to solve the problem the next time he fell into a dream.
Lin Zhiqing saw through his thoughts at a glance: "Of course flowers don't have this effect."
"But if Jiang Liuyun is afraid of this flower, then it's okay."
"Why is Brother Jiang afraid of this flower..." Wait, Lu Huai was stunned.
Jiang Liuyun is not afraid of flowers, but he is afraid of the fragrance of flowers because he has been harmed by the peonies thrown on him by the girls in Beijing.
It was he who told Lin Zhiqing about this.
Seeing that he understood, Lin Zhiqing didn't delay any longer. She lowered her head and smelled the wild flowers.
Well, although it's very faint, you can still smell the fragrance.
He gently placed the small flower on the tip of Jiang Liuyun's nose.
After staying there for a few seconds, Lin Zhiqing keenly noticed the tip of his nose moving and quickly moved behind him.
"A-choo!" Jiang Liuyun sneezed and opened his eyes instantly.
His eyes were narrowed, his brows were furrowed, his eyebrows were pulled down, and he was breathing in small breaths. It was obvious that he had not yet figured out the situation.
"Brother Jiang, you're awake!" A smile appeared on Lu Huai's face.
"I...wasn't I in the study?" After seeing the scene clearly, Jiang Liuyun's eyes turned into confusion.
"There were mind-reading traps in the study room. We were all dragged into a dream, and it was Zhiqing who pulled us out." Lu Huai explained.
"Zhiqing? Qing'er!" Jiang Liuyun's face showed an anxious look when he heard the name: "Where is Qing'er? Is she okay?"
"I'm fine." Lin Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the man wake up, and then stood up from behind him.
Seeing Lin Zhiqing appear, Jiang Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay."
Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing looked at each other, and both felt that Jiang Liuyun’s dream was a little different from theirs.
Lin Zhiqing was a little curious and asked this question: "What did you dream about?"
Because of that dream, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Jiang Liuyun's forehead. He scratched his head embarrassedly:
"Qing'er, my dream was a bit unlucky. I dreamed that you disappeared from this world."
"I want to find you, but I can't find you."
Lin Zhiqing nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Jiang Liuyun’s dream was the latter.
His obsession is... to find himself?
