After Men Nan finished speaking, Chen Ge and Dr. Gao remained silent for a long time.
Washing your hair represents washing away bad luck and dirt. Dreaming about washing your hair usually means good things will happen, but the scene Men Nan described has nothing to do with good things and it looks like a nightmare no matter how you look at it.
"Do you still remember the appearance of the person in your dream and the environment you were in?" Men Nan is most likely the special tourist prompted by the black phone. Every choice Chen Ge makes now and every question he asks will affect the final reward.
"It seems to be in the bathroom of the apartment I rented. The positions of the items are very familiar, but I can't be sure." Men Nan lowered his head and spoke in a smaller voice. "I can't see the person standing next to me clearly, but I can be sure that he is getting closer and closer to me. I have been having the same dream for the past few weeks. Every time I have a dream, the scene in the dream becomes clearer. I can see the man's face more and more clearly."
"What does he look like?"
"It will be soon. I should be able to see his face in my dream next time!" Men Nan lowered his head and his eyes moved upwards as he spoke, looking a little scary.
What the young man said was vague and there was nothing of value.
Chen Ge did not give up and continued to ask, "Can you tell me more details? For example, did that person make any movements or say anything while you were washing your hair?"
"The content of the dream was almost exactly the same." Men Nan's hoarse voice trembled a little. "When I first had this dream three weeks ago, I didn't find it scary. I didn't know why in the dream, I got up in the middle of the night and went to the bathroom. In the dream, all my thoughts stopped functioning and I could only act according to my body's instincts. Maybe there was another force controlling me at the time."
"The initial dream was blurry and hazy. I stopped in front of the mirror, filled the wash basin with water, and then put my head in the water."
"When I bent down, I could see someone at the door with my head down."
"At first he was far away from me, until I finished washing, I found that he seemed to be a little closer to where I was. Well, only a little."
"After this dream, I started having other dreams, so I didn't pay much attention to it at first."
"But something that I couldn't imagine happened. The next day, I had this dream again!"
"It was exactly the same scene. I went to the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror, filled my cup with water, and then bent over and put my head in the water."
"When my head touched the water, I could see a person standing in the living room. When I finished washing, I looked again and saw that person was getting closer to me."
"The same dream kept repeating. I went from being completely confused at the beginning to being fully awake and watching everything. My brain was functioning normally and my senses became more and more sensitive in the dream. The most important thing was the man who came in from the door. Every time I dreamed, he was getting closer and closer to me!"
"I don't know why. I was scared to death in the dream, but I couldn't wake up."
"As soon as I fell asleep, the dream continued. Two and a half weeks ago, the man in the dream entered the living room. A week ago, the man appeared at the bathroom door. And just four days ago, the man walked up to me!"
"He was standing next to me. As soon as I bent down and put my head into the water, his body would tilt with me, and that blurry face would slowly get closer."
Just listening to Men Nan's story, Chen Ge felt a little creepy, not to mention that this young man had experienced it all personally.
I had the same dream for three weeks in a row. In the dream, there was a man whose face I couldn't see clearly who was getting closer and closer. No wonder he became like this.
"The night before last, I had this dream again. This was also the last time I had that dream." Men Nan tried to raise his head, his eyeballs moving rapidly in his eye sockets. "The man's face was very close to me. I could almost see it clearly, but at this moment he grabbed my neck with both hands. Then I woke up, and I haven't dared to fall asleep since then."
Men Nan's situation had become very bad. The man in the dream strangled him with both hands. If the dream continued to develop, no one knew what would happen.
The situation was even more urgent than what Dr. Gao said. No wonder Dr. Gao came to see Chen Ge. He was just trying his luck.
"I keep having this dream over and over again, and the scene is always in the bathroom." Chen Ge thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the apartment building itself? Let me tell you a possibility first, don't be afraid, this is just my guess."
"you say."
"Is it possible that someone died in the room you rented, and the body has not been found yet, so it came to you in the dream, hoping that you can help it call the police and clear its name."
After Chen Ge finished speaking, Men Nan's face turned green. He took a deep breath and said, "There is a body hidden in the room I rent? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
He was very emotional, and if Dr. Gao hadn't held his shoulders, he would probably have had another attack.
Doctor Gao beside him also had a strange look on his face. "I went to his rental place and checked it inside and out. There was nothing abnormal. And a week ago, I took Men Nan to live with me. He still had that dream. It didn't stop just because he was not in the apartment."
"When he first saw the man in his dream, the man was standing at the door, so it is very likely that the man came in from outside. Our search cannot be limited to Men Nan's own room, we should expand the scope and search the entire apartment building." Chen Ge expressed his opinion. Because he was afraid of irritating Men Nan, he didn't say the second half of the sentence. The ghost might have already haunted him, and it would not be solved by changing the place to sleep.
"We are not the police and do not have the right to search the entire apartment. Even if we do, the reason for the search is very far-fetched." Doctor Gao now does not know whether coming to Chen Ge is the right decision. "Why don't we analyze this dream first? Men Nan has been washing his hair in his dreams. Perhaps we can find clues from the symbolic meaning of washing hair itself."
Doctor Gao tried to persuade Chen Ge, and Chen Ge listened to his analysis patiently. Unfortunately, these things could not explain why Men Nan kept having the same dream.
"I'm not sure now. Why don't we go to Men Nan's rental place tonight to take a look? An on-site inspection may yield new findings." Chen Ge waited quietly for the two to answer. He put his hand in his pocket. Until now, there has been no response from the black phone.
