When he opened his eyes, he saw a middle-aged woman looking at him anxiously and dotingly, patting his back gently.
"It's normal for a child of this age to have a rich imagination, but if he keeps saying that his classmates and teachers are not human beings and he is afraid to go to school, he is probably pretending. You are just pampering him too much!" Outside the door, a man put down his briefcase, untied his tie, and spoke with some blame.
"Jiang Dashi, what are you talking about? I believe Xiaochen." The woman shouted to the man, then turned around and immediately became gentle. With a hint of hesitation and tentativeness, she said, "Son, tell me the truth. Have you been under pressure from studying recently?"
Jiang Chen looked at everything in front of him, and his head felt a slight pain. He always felt as if he had had a very long dream.
Surrounding her were nicely decorated rooms. This was her home. Outside the door was her father, who was always strict but could never lose his temper with her mother. In front of her was her doting mother.
I have been having nightmares recently. There are many familiar people in my dreams, but under the cover of night, they all tore off their disguises and revealed their terrifying "true faces".
It was for this reason that I didn’t even dare to go to high school and had been on leave for almost two months.
"If it doesn't work, go see Doctor Luo. I should be able to get a bonus of 20,000 yuan after I complete this order." Father Jiang said while hanging up his suit and turning his back to them.
He was an insurance salesman. Although he had accumulated some experience and became a deputy sales manager, his salary was not very high because he worked in a small company.
I have to go out in the wind and rain and wear a suit even in hot weather. It's not easy to make money.
It was a bit of a luxury to make an appointment with such a world-renowned psychologist, but as long as it was for the sake of his children, he had no complaints.
"Dad, Mom, if you believe me, it's best not to go out at night these few days. Things are really not peaceful outside lately." Jiang Chen moved his lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
Hearing this, the couple looked at him and sighed softly.
Jiang's mother rushed out of the room and closed the door, seemingly discussing something with Jiang's father.
"If it really doesn't work, let's go see Doctor Luo. I'll pay the mortgage this month, so don't stress yourself too much..."
"I'll take care of the money, but you'll be promoted to associate professor in two years. Isn't that your goal? I'm sure there will be a lot of complaints at school about taking two months off. How about asking Mom to come and take care of this kid?"
"No, I can't rest assured that Xiaochen is like this."
“…”
Faint sounds of conversation could be heard. Jiang Chen could see his mother's thin back through the half-open door. She lowered her head, as if wiping away tears. His father's already tired face was even more worried. His brows were furrowed and his wrinkles were like knife marks.
It was already very difficult for my family to gain a foothold in this first-tier city. In the past two months, my illness almost caused my mother to lose her job as a university lecturer and also spent all our family savings.
Ordinary psychiatrists cannot see the problem, and only well-known and expensive doctors reluctantly say that there are cases of this disease abroad.
He was actually in great pain, but he clearly saw in his dream that there were many ghosts hiding around him. They were normal during the day, but once night fell, they would start to harm people.
There is a secret that only Jiang Chen knows.
Many of the murders reported in the news recently were actually done by ghosts!
For example, at this moment, news is coming from the TV in the living room again.
"Yesterday morning, two bodies were found in the underground garage of Luoshan University, a man and a woman. The female victim was a teacher at the school, with broken cartilage in her throat. The male victim was married to the victim, and had been stabbed multiple times in the face. The suspect is currently at large..."
