Chapter 14 Chapter 13 Distance

What is Sudden Sleepwalking?To know this, you must first understand what narcolepsy is.It is a severe sleep disorder that can occur at any time.Suffering from narcolepsy, it may occur at any time in daily life, it may occur on the road, it may occur when talking, and it may also occur in the driver's seat when driving. Sudden sleepwalking is a disease that occurs within the state of cataplexy.The cause of sudden somnambulism is still unknown so far. It is only known that the onset period is usually between the ages of ten and twenty.According to the research of some psychologists, there are about two to ten people in 10,000 patients with cataplexy.And the possibility of sudden sleepwalking is even rarer.

Sitting in the classroom, looking at Xue Ying who was sleeping soundly in my arms, I shook my head. I have known Xueying for more than two years. Although it is only recently that I have been in contact with her frequently and paid attention to her, I have never noticed anything unusual about her.She should not be a patient with sudden sleepwalking. So, how to explain the scene that happened to her not long ago? I have no idea. Could it be that Xue Ying was really possessed by a ghost just now?Possessed by the Die Fairy we accidentally invited more than a week ago?As soon as I thought of this, my head shook wildly again, and I didn't want to continue thinking.

A famous philosopher once said: "Superstition, what is superstition? When a person is crazy about something, obsessed, worshiped, and even begins to exclude dissidents, forcing himself not to accept any idea that is contrary to this thing That's superstition." Perhaps, for a long time, I have also become superstitious, superstitious in science and everything that can be explained and inferred with logical thinking.And recently, a series of events happened around me, each of which is wearing down my will and torturing my thoughts.I even began to wonder if my IQ was as high as I always thought...

Xueying rolled over in my arms, and slowly opened her sleepy eyes. "Why am I here?" She looked at me lazily, her face full of surprise, but she was lazily lying on my lap and refused to get up. "You fainted just now, so I had to carry you back to the classroom." I didn't want her to worry, so I told a harmless lie. Xueying combed her messy sleeping hair with her hands, tried to recall something in her mind, and suddenly smiled at me: "I had a terrible dream just now. I dreamed that I was buried alive in a dark In the horrible hole, I can’t see anything around. I desperately want to climb up, but I can’t do it. I just feel that my limbs can’t move at all, as if being pressed by something. There is silence around, except Apart from my crying, I could only hear the slight sound of gurgling water on the other side of the wall. It's scary, really scary!" Xueying hugged me vigorously, and her whole body began to tremble violently again.

"Don't be afraid, I'm right by your side!" Damn, it won't happen again, right? !With lingering fear in my heart, I immediately hugged her desperately, turned over and pressed her to the ground. Contrary to my expectation, Xue Ying immediately stopped moving and did not struggle.She just felt her whole body stiffen, and through the thin clothes, she could even feel her soft body heating up. Realizing that the situation seemed to be different from not long ago, I lowered my head in surprise and almost touched Xueying's fresh and tender red lips. Xue Ying opened those big eyes quietly, looked at me with gentle and shy eyes, but there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

I was stunned, and just kept a distance from the tip of my nose, staring at her for a long time, and suddenly realized something, and then hurriedly wanted to stand up in embarrassment.Xueying immediately wrapped her arms around my neck, licked her lips playfully, and then closed her eyes. It's over!This appearance of letting you choose is constantly breaking down my will. I just felt my head slowly lowered, that beautiful face became clear in my sight, and then became blurred on my retina because of the too close distance. , mix, and disperse. In the end, I only heard a "snap" in my head, and I knew that my sanity had completely collapsed...

Just as my will collapsed, there was a sound outside the classroom, a sound of rummaging through boxes.I made a smart move and woke up immediately. "Did you hear that? It seems that someone is looking for something in the office next door." I stood up and pushed Xueying, she blushed, and reluctantly opened her eyes: "It's so late, how can there be anyone else?" Will you run into the teaching building in a panic?" She pouted and looked at me, clearly calling me a "coward", "stupid", "pig head" and all such incomprehensible creatures in her eyes.

I could only smile wryly, and pulled her to slip quietly under the window outside the office, and looked inside carefully. I saw a man about 1.75 meters squatting in the corner of the right foot of the office, rummaging through the materials poured out of the drawers of various cabinets. I put my middle finger on my lips and nodded to Xueying, and slowly and silently moved a little to the left, trying to see the man's face clearly, but accidentally touched the wastebasket at my feet. The man stood up in shock, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately rushed out of the office and ran away quickly.

"Damn it!" I covered my head in frustration, and kicked the wastebasket that I tripped over. "That thief is so unlucky that he would be so stupid to steal the abandoned office!" Xueying said relaxedly. "That thief is stupid? Huh, I can't see it." I resentfully walked into the office door that had been unlocked by the thief, and asked her, "Do you know why this office was abandoned?" Xue Ying pondered: "It is said that more than ten years ago, there was an introverted female teacher who couldn't bear being bullied by her students, and then hanged herself in this office. Where someone has committed suicide, even the most daring person will have it. The teachers often said that it was very gloomy inside, and many unexplainable weird things would happen at night, and finally they jointly asked the school to seal it up. I remember it was because of this reason.”

"That's right." I turned on the flashlight, and while rummaging through the place where the thief squatted just now, I said to Xue Ying: "There are four offices in this building, right? Did you notice just now that the other offices have no There is no trace of being destroyed, so why did the thief choose this very inconvenient place first? I think there must be something wrong." "Xiao Ye, I think you are too suspicious." Xue Ying pouted her lips and was very suspicious of my guess.I slowly flipped through the data one data after another, and suddenly my whole body shook, and I raised my head stiffly, and said to her: "I'm afraid this time I don't want to be paranoid."

Handing the document in her hand to Xue Ying, she only glanced at it, and was immediately stunned with surprise on her face: "I didn't expect that Zhong Dao, the principal's son, was also in Class 3, Class 3 of the 62nd Senior High School." student! She is in the same class as Zhou Jian and Li Ping, who was raped by her!" What I found was a student resource book about Jongdo. For some reason, I somehow felt that I was getting closer to the truth. I was trembling all over, and looked at Xueying excitedly. Xueying thought for a while in distress: "By the way, at least now we have found the most obvious clue, that is, Zhou Jian, Zhong Dao and Li Ping are all classmates. If it is extended from this relationship, then I want to revolve around Could Li Ping's love triangle happen between them?" "Smart!" I applauded her judgment and added: "Not only do we have to prove the point you mentioned, but we also need to confirm a few things. First, whether the pile of broken school uniforms and underwear belonged to Li Ping 2. Why did Zhou Jian's school badge get mixed up in the pile of school uniform rags. 3. Was that love triangle really just a love triangle? Think about it, first of all, Li Ping loved a boy deeply, but the boy she loved But he fell in love with another girl and wanted to abandon her. Hey, if I continue to expand, I have reason to wonder if there is another boy who is obsessed with Li Ping. In fact, this is like a fill-in-the-blank multiple-choice question. We already know two There is no answer, you just need to put them in the right place." Just as I was spitting and wanting to dump all my doubts to Xue Ying, I suddenly heard the sound of soft footsteps slowly approaching from far to near. I immediately gestured to Xueying, and pulled her to hide behind a set of cabinets where the entire office could be seen in full view. Not long after, a man who was about 1.75 meters tall and about the same height as the thief came in.The man was pale, haggard and decadent, and his back was arched strangely because of the pressure of life.When we saw his front clearly, we almost cried out in surprise. He is, of course, Zhong Dao. Zhong Dao looked around carefully, and then he squatted in front of the pile of documents and rummaged carefully. I felt Xueying's whole body tense up, "Oops!" An ominous premonition rose in my heart, I hurriedly pulled her back, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?" "Of course I went out to confront him!" Xue Ying said with a full face. "Are you crazy! What if he really killed someone? If such a thing is really important to him, I don't think he would mind killing two more." I stared at her incredulously, alas, the more I don't understand what the little girl is thinking now. Xue Ying pursed her mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Ye, you worry too much. Do you know that there is an old saying that you should never miss an opportunity? Keep your eyes open and see this lady's superb performance." She couldn't help but say He broke free from my hand, blinked at me, and walked out. "Zhong Dao, are you looking for something like this?" Xueying raised Zhong Dao's student information flatly and asked loudly. Zhong Dao was shocked all of a sudden, and he turned his head slowly, with a surprised expression on his face. "Who are you?" He looked around in fear. "You should ask who we are." I tried to force a smile on my face and walked out too. No way, since the ambush failed, we had to change our strategy and use confrontation. Xueying looked at me apologetically, and then said: "Why do you want to find this student data book? Is it because there are some secrets on it that you have to destroy? Is it because it will let you expose that you raped Li Ping and then killed her?" The secret that fell?" "I didn't rape Ping'er, and I didn't kill her." Zhong Dao murmured in despair. "You lied, if you didn't rape her, why did you go to jail?" Xueying stared at him without blinking. Zhong Dao sat on the ground weakly, his eyes became dull: "I can't say." Xue Ying snorted and said, "Of course you can't say it. Because you have no way to quibble." I pulled Xueying hard, and said to her in a low voice: "Don't you think Zhongdao's expression is weird?" "Hmph, I think he must be pretending." Xue Ying said disdainfully.I shook my head, pointed at him and said, "That guy is obviously not conscious, he seems to have taken drugs." "Yes, I have taken drugs." Zhong Dao raised his head, took a deep breath, and said to us, "Whether you believe it or not, I have never raped Pinger, let alone killed her. I have never sat Prison, I entered a drug rehab center. Since my wife died, I started to anesthetize myself with alcohol, and then learned to take drugs!" He stared blankly at the ceiling of the office, and said slowly: " That's where she died, hanged herself with a silk scarf I gave her." Xueying and I looked at each other.I scratched my head and asked hesitantly, "Is the she you're talking about the young female teacher who hanged herself in this office more than ten years ago?" "That's right. You can't think of it──I actually fell in love with my teacher!" Zhong Dao laughed, laughed loudly, and tears flowed from the laughter: "I am the son of the principal, and I can get any good grades I want without hard work. But those grades are all unreal, my Every teacher in the subject wanted to curry favor with my father, so no matter how I took the test, even handing in blank papers, I got full marks. Only Teacher Gao Xiu was kind to me. What are you doing? How special is my identity in school... She said one is one, and the other is two. Gradually, I found that I could no longer leave her eyes. I actually fell in love with her, and fell in love with myself My teacher! Come on, tell me, isn't that an absurd thing?" "Then what was the relationship between Li Ping and you at that time?" I thought about it, looked at him and asked. Zhong Dao recalled: "Pinger is my girlfriend. Every time I want to break up with her, she will beg me, kneel on the ground and hug my leg and never let go. Even if I tell her that I am no longer No matter how much she loves her, she won't listen. She often cuts her wrists and threatens me to force me not to leave her." He wiped away the old tears on his face with his hands: "Even one day, she came to tell me in a nervous way. I am already pregnant with my child. I am very surprised because I am sure that I have not committed any deviant behavior towards her. But Pinger swears that the child is mine, and she said that I can deny it, She could even kill the child in my stomach for the sake of my future. I left her noncommittal and left. But after a while, she asked me to go to Guting again. Pinger mysteriously handed me a The bag, I opened it, and almost spat it out. It turned out to be a baby, a dead baby! The baby’s face and body were covered in blood, as if it had just been delivered from the womb. There was even a long hair on the belly button. A long piece of umbilical cord..." Zhong Dao closed his eyes, his face was pale and terrified, as if he had great fear of that memory: "Ping'er smiled at me, the smile made people shudder. She said that she had killed our child, and I don't have to Worried about other people's gossip. I just felt incredible at the time, and left her without looking back. But I didn't expect that it would be a farewell after leaving. Since then, Ping'er has disappeared. I think she must be I was completely disappointed in me, so I went alone to a place where no one would know her again..." "Do you believe what he said?" Xue Ying asked softly by bringing her mouth to my ear. I sighed: "His story is very logical. Although it is completely different from what we know from school legends, it should have a certain degree of credibility." Xue Ying looked at Zhong Dao and asked loudly: "Since you are not the murderer, why did you come to this office in the middle of the night to look for your student information book?" "My student data book?" Zhong Dao looked up in surprise, "I never thought of looking for that kind of thing." "Then what exactly are you looking for here?" I asked curiously. "It's something I've forgotten for over a decade." There was a hint of sweetness on Zhong Dao's decadent face: "It's a scarf, it was a birthday present from me. Although the teacher said I was too young to accept me, but after I begged hard, she still accepted it." That pink silk scarf. I know, that scarf was untied and left here after she committed suicide. But I didn't have the guts to make up my mind to find it until today!" "By the way, I must find it!" Zhong Dao stood up shaking, squatted down in front of the pile of data and rummaged through it again. "What you're looking for, um, is it this?" Xue Ying handed him a scarf with some embarrassment. Zhong Dao gasped suddenly, his whole body began to tremble violently, and the hands that took over the scarf shook even more: "It's this, it's this." tears from the eyes. "Why is that thing in your hand?" I asked strangely. Xueying stuck out her tongue at me: "Just now when you were concentrating on searching for information, someone accidentally found that silk scarf, and because they thought it was incongruous, they took it off the wall to study it. Finally, it was As soon as you pull it, you stuff it into your backpack in a hurry." I narrowed my eyes and stared at her suspiciously: "I'm lying, I think you clearly want to enrich yourself." "I won't be like you." Xueying's face suddenly blushed with her heart broken, she snorted, and turned her head to avoid my sight. After finally returning to normal, Zhong Dao glanced at us and begged, "Can you let me stay here alone for a while?" Xueying and I looked at each other, then nodded in unison.But unexpectedly, as soon as we walked out of the office, Zhong Dao closed the door forcefully and locked it. "What are you doing?" I was taken aback for a moment, then knocked hard on the closed door. "Don't worry about me, I really miss Teacher Gao Xiu, I really miss her." Through the glass window beside him, Zhong Dao slowly climbed up to the desk and hung the scarf in his hand on the ceiling.He held the hanging part with both hands, turned his head to look at Xueying and I who broke the glass window without hesitation, and was desperately trying to pry open the iron grille welded to the inner layer of the window, and heaved a long sigh. He smiled and said: "Do you know that people can be together even after death. As long as you and the person you like die in the same place and in the same way. Then two people can be together for life and life. , never to be separated again.” A chill climbed up my back, I shivered, and shouted at him loudly: "You idiot! When you die, you have nothing. What are you talking about never being separated from life to life? You are simply cowardly. Don’t dare to face reality!!” "Yes, I am cowardly and timid. Otherwise, it would not have taken me thirteen years to make up my mind." Zhong Dao looked at the scarf with empty eyes, and suddenly his whole body shook. He stared at the scarf in front of him. Air, smiled happily. "Teacher, it's you, are you here to pick me up?" He smiled, cried, and choked up with sobs, "I'm already thirty-one years old, and I'm no longer the kid I used to be. The teacher should be able to accept it." Me? I'm so happy, really happy." Zhong Dao slowly put his head into the knot made with the scarf, and was about to kick the chair away with both feet, at this moment, a pair of invisible hands suddenly grabbed his neck. "Ping'er, why is it you! It's you again!" Zhong Dao was coughing hard, covering his neck, and said word by word in pain: "Let go of me, I'm going to be with the teacher. Why do you always Are you trying to stop me? You spread the rumors that Teacher Gao Xiu had a teacher-student relationship and that her students got pregnant, right? With the teacher?" Zhong Dao straightened his neck deformedly, desperately trying to put his head into the knot again, but behind him were those invisible hands that desperately grabbed him and pulled him back. The outer skin of his neck immediately began to take on a spiral shape under the action of the two forces, and finally the outer skin was even peeled off, revealing the bloody trachea and neck aorta. Zhong Dao struggled vigorously, finally broke free from the hand, and put his head in it.Quickly kicking the chair away, he was hung from the ceiling by the scarf, and his body was still spinning.When his face turned towards me and Xueying, Zhongdao smiled. It's a happy, contented smile... I stood stiffly all over, my rational brain was completely afraid to accept everything in front of me. "What's going on here? What's going on?!" Xue Ying was also stunned, and kept repeating that sentence. Suddenly the door of the office was pushed open from the inside and hit the wall with a loud "bang".A chill ran through my body for no reason, and almost all my hairs stood on end at the same time due to fear. "By the water... and one more... and another..." There is a cold, dark, dull voice that passes through the eardrums and enters the mind, and it keeps echoing and repeating in the mind. I suppressed my fear and looked around.But nothing is seen.Not far away, there is only a strange night that is silent and ferocious and enchanting like a nightmare. "There's one more...isn't it?" Xueying murmured, she took my hand, leaned her head on my shoulder, her whole body was trembling. "Xiaoye, tell me...the last one will be you or me?" She looked into my eyes and saw that I was still staring blankly at the darkness in the distance, so she burst out laughing. Laughed and shed tears. "Xiaoye, I guess the last one will definitely not be you..."
