Lin Mo was a little surprised by what Teacher Zhang said.
Originally, Lin Mo suspected that Liu Jia’s disappearance might be related to Teacher Zhang, but looking at the teacher’s expression, it seemed that he had no idea at all.
"You really don't know?"
"I really don't know." Teacher Zhang said calmly.
Lin Mo believed that Teacher Zhang usually made some small movements when he lied. Every time he said that the physical education teacher was busy, during the Chinese class, Teacher Zhang would pinch his nose subconsciously.
Not this time.
It should be true.
"Then why are you afraid of Liu Jia, teacher? As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night." Lin Mo decided to question it again just to be on the safe side.
Teacher Zhang said helplessly, "You didn't see what she looked like when she came. It was too scary. Anyone would be scared. What does this have to do with whether you have done something wrong or not?"
Lin Mo thought about it and agreed.
Sometimes feeling guilty and being afraid are two different things.
After a slow chat, Teacher Zhang's mood was obviously much stronger than at the beginning. Logically, when he woke up next time, Teacher Zhang would be able to return to normal. From this point of view, Lin Mo was also doing the work of a psychologist. After all, dreams can reach people's hearts directly.
"Teacher, don't be afraid. If you really haven't done anything wrong, then there's nothing to be afraid of. Look at me, I've never done anything wrong, so I'm very brave."
Lin Mo continued to counsel.
Teacher Zhang laughed out loud at this time: "Come on, you weren't very brave when you were in school."
When Lin Mo heard this, he was stunned.
He looked at Teacher Zhang and said nothing.
"Why, have you forgotten? When you were in the first year of high school, during the winter evening self-study session, there was a sudden power outage. You went out to borrow a candle, but you were startled by the broom at the entrance of the corridor and fell to the ground. I had to help you up."
Lin Mo's pupils shrank.
Teacher Zhang didn't notice Lin Mo's change, and continued to talk to himself: "But then again, at that angle and light, it was indeed easy to mistake that broom for a monster. Not to mention you, I was also shocked."
"I don't remember!" Lin Mo said with a serious expression.
"What?" Teacher Zhang didn't hear clearly and asked again.
Lin Mo said nothing more and fell into deep thought.
Regarding what Teacher Zhang said, Lin Mo only remembered that there was indeed a power outage that night, and he did go to get a candle, but he had no memory of being frightened by the shadow of the broom.
If someone else had told this, Lin Mo might not have cared, but Teacher Zhang was his homeroom teacher at the time, so it was impossible for him to remember it wrongly.
"That is to say, not only are my memories of Liu Jia missing, but also my memories of fear."
Lin Mo always thought that he was not afraid of this emotion at all.
But today, he heard a different answer from Teacher Zhang.
It's not that he didn't have it, but he simply didn't remember it.
It was like a complete set of cards, but two cards were missing. One was about a person, and the other represented fear. And I, as the owner of this set, had never noticed that two cards were missing.
This is the weirdest thing.
Teacher Zhang obviously noticed Lin Mo's emotions, but he did not ask any further questions. Instead, he continued to talk about the past. Of course, this was also good for Teacher Zhang himself.
It can help him recover, and now Teacher Zhang is behaving like normal.
As expected, his mental illness was cured.
Lin Mo did not mention anything about "fear" again. One must walk one step at a time and eat one bite at a time. Especially at this time, one must not take big steps.
Before I knew it, several hours had passed.
Lin Mo looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
"Teacher Zhang, when does Liu Jia usually come?" Lin Mo couldn't help but ask. Not to mention him, even Xiaohu yawned at this time.
A little lazy.
"It should be about the same. Usually, she comes when I fall asleep at night. There is no specific time. She comes whenever she wants. I can't control it!"
Teacher Zhang was also a little nervous at this time.
But after a few hours of counseling and chatting, he no longer breaks down.
Perhaps it was because Lin Mo was beside him that he was much braver than usual.
Just at this moment, footsteps were suddenly heard in the corridor outside.
“Here it comes!”
It seems that this quilt can withstand all attacks.
Lin Mo nodded and winked at Xiaohu.
It turned out that this silly tiger was actually asleep. He went over and knocked on the tiger's head: "Be smart, guard the bedroom door, and don't let anyone in."
Lin Mo himself walked to the door.
He listened to the footsteps outside.
The footsteps were light and slow, just like an elegant woman walking slowly.
But in this environment, it seems a bit weird.
The sound alone is scary.
Of course Lin Mo didn't feel anything. He leaned close to the peephole and looked out.
There was no one outside, and the dim corridor lights were flickering.
The footsteps can still be heard.
Lin Mo rubbed his eyes and looked again. Suddenly, there was a person standing outside the door.
It was a female student with short hair and wearing a school uniform. She had her back to the door, her hands hanging down, and was motionless.
At the same time, the footsteps stopped.
"Teleport?" Lin Mo muttered. Just looking at the back, she looked quite like Liu Jia in the photo, as her body shape, hairstyle and clothes were very similar.
Lin Mo did not hesitate and opened the door directly.
Is that so? Just open the door and take a look.
As soon as the door opened, a negative energy rushed in from outside.
There was a layer of black mist floating on the floor of the corridor, giving a dreamy feeling.
The girl at the door didn't move, just stood with her back to the door.
Lin Mo remembered something and said, "Wait a minute!"
After saying that, he closed the door and walked back to the bedroom.
Teacher Zhang was shivering in the quilt. Lin Mo went over and patted him, which scared him again.
"Lin Mo? You scared me to death. What happened? Is she here? She's at the door, right?" After seeing clearly that it was Lin Mo, Teacher Zhang asked continuously.
Lin Mo nodded: "I am here, but I have something to ask you, teacher. Have you ever seen this Liu Jia's face, that is, the front view?"
There is a reason for asking this.
Lin Mo knew that some nightmares followed certain rules. Just like the one outside, this time he had his back to the door, so it was most likely the same before.
Judging from Teacher Zhang's courage, he probably didn't even dare to open the door, so Lin Mo asked this.
"No!" Teacher Zhang shook his head directly: "But I can recognize her from the back. That's Liu Jia. Also, you have to be careful. Even if you don't open the door, she can come in."
When Lin Mo heard this, he indeed felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room.
Turn around and take a look.
Liu Jia, with his back to me, was standing in the living room.
Really came in.
The door was closed, but he was still able to get in. His ability is almost the same as Xiao Hei's.
However, Lin Mo did not sense any malice or resentment from this 'Liu Jia', so, in fact, if you eliminate the human psychological fear of such ghosts, there is no need to worry at all, as long as you don't provoke her.
Let her do whatever she wants to do, there will definitely be no danger.
This is indeed the case. We have met Teacher Zhang every day for the past year and he is living well.
However, Lin Mo had to see the girl in school uniform from the front to confirm whether she was Liu Jia.
So he walked over, went around to the front, got close to the other person, squatted down, and took a look.
Upon seeing this, Lin Mo was stunned.
"Hey, why is it you?"
