As soon as Huang Jie walked into the house, he was really shocked to find that Yoichiro was at home. "Huh? Why is Dad at home? Didn't go to work?" Yoichiro who came out of the room didn't say anything, just stared into Huangsuke's eyes. "Dad, what happened to the Shuicheng family?" Hearing Huangsuke's question, Yoichiro seemed a little surprised. "Why do you ask?" "Because she didn't come today, the class tutor said that she had to ask for leave because of something at home, and she was at the university last night..." Speaking of this, Huang Jie began to falter.

"...What happened to the university?" "No, there's nothing wrong with the university." After a moment of silence, Yoichiro said softly to Huangsuke: "Would you like to sit in Dad's room?" Yoichiro sat on the bed in the room, facing Osuke.Huang Jie also sat down in front of him.Yoichiro told Huangsuke two things in a flat tone.The first thing is that Hui jumped to his death from the top floor of the research building at around nine o'clock last night.The second thing is that Yaji had a car accident today. For a while, Huang Jie fell into a state of complete loss of feeling, not knowing what to think now.

"Yaji only had a broken arm. She should have gone home with Shuicheng by now." "Why did Aunt Hui commit suicide by jumping off the building..." "Dad didn't know either. She seemed to want to cut her wrist, and there was still a wound on her left wrist." Huang Jie also knew what the scars of failed wrist cutting meant.In the school where Sakieda worked as a psychological counselor, there were also girls with such scars on their wrists. "Dad just went to see the pool of blood in the middle of the top floor. Hui Yuan cut her wrist with a utility knife, but she didn't die, so she jumped from the top floor... It seems that she really intends to end her life."

Yoichiro sighed when he said the last sentence. "Dad, could it be that Aunt Hui wants to die because Mom is dead?" Saki branch's death brought Kei too much impact, so she decided to die with Saki branch.Huang Jie thought so in his heart.Yoichiro slowly closed his eyes and only said "Maybe".Huangsuke couldn't tell whether Yoichiro really thought so, or just perfunctory. "maybe……" Huang Jie began to think about Yaji.Maybe Aki's car accident wasn't an accident at all.She was hit by the car on purpose.Just like Kei died with Sakie, Aki also wanted to die with Kei.

"Dad, did she let the car hit it on purpose?" Hearing Huangsuke's question, Yoichiro immediately raised his head and looked at him. "You said Aki did it on purpose? Absolutely not. She just fell into a state of insanity because of Hui's death." "Even if you're insane, you shouldn't be hit in that kind of place, right? There's no zebra crossing in front of Yaji's house." "The reason... we outsiders don't understand." Yoichiro shook his head slowly. "Perhaps, she didn't know it herself. In short, Hui's death shocked her a lot. When Dad came to Shuicheng's house, Yaji was sitting on the sofa. Dad wanted to touch her hand to encourage her, but She pushed her away... If Dad could have sensed her mood at that time and chatted with her, that incident would not have happened. "

"Dad, didn't she really hit the car on purpose?" "It was just a pure accident." "But, maybe..." "Huangjie, you shouldn't have such thoughts." "why?" Huang Jie's question was extremely simple, but Yoichiro stared blankly at the floor for a while, thinking about how to answer it in his mind.Finally, Yoichiro raised his head and said: "In short, let Shuicheng take care of Yaji's affairs. We just need to wait for them to lend a helping hand when they need help." Huang Jie tried to make himself accept Yoichiro's words.Although my heart was full of uneasiness, I didn't say anything more.

"So it was a precognitive dream..." Huang Jie couldn't help recalling the dream of last night. "That was just a coincidence. Your dream has nothing to do with Kei's suicide." "But, on the night I dreamed that Aunt Hui died, Aunt Hui really died. How could it be just a coincidence?" When he said this, he suddenly realized, would he have a strange superpower that could turn dreams into reality?If this is the case, what if I have another unlucky dream tonight?He suddenly felt that sleeping was a terrible thing.What if I dreamed that Yoichiro died?What should I do if I dream that Aki dies?If you dream that you are dead...

"You'd better not worry about it." Yoichiro seemed to see Osuke's uneasiness, smiled at him slightly, then stood up, and fetched a notebook and pencil from the desk. "Look at this." As he said, he wrote something in his notebook. Huang Jie saw that Yoichiro wrote this in his notebook: 1. Dreaming - dying 2. Dreaming - not dead 3. Not dreaming - dead 4. Not dreaming - not dead "what is this……" After reading the text on the notebook, Huang Jie raised his head and asked. "Listing it like this should clear up your doubts. Look carefully, dreaming about someone's death, and that person's death, these two things can have four kinds of connections, right? Dreaming, dying. Dreaming, not dead. Not dreaming, dead. Not dreaming, not dead."

Four indeed. "In your case, it's the first one. I had a dream that Hui died, and Hui really died." "Meaning, the hit rate is one in four?" "No. We don't know the probability of you dreaming of Hui last night, and we don't know the probability of dying last night, so we can't calculate the probability. That's what Dad wants to express." Yoichiro erased part of the text on the notebook with an eraser, and wrote a different text. 1. Brush your teeth - die 2. Brush your teeth - not dead 3. Not brushing your teeth - dead 4. Didn't brush your teeth - didn't die

"From these four perspectives, you also fit the first category. You brushed your teeth before going to bed last night, and Hui died that night." "Well... that's true." "However, you don't think Hui died because you brushed your teeth, do you?" I really don't think so.Seeing Huangsuke nodding, Yoichiro expressed the conclusion in a gentle tone: "Because the content of your dream happened to be that Kei died, so you feel that your dream has incredible power. You think that the dream you have must have something to do with Kei's death. But if you want to think this way, anything is fine. Create relationships. We do all kinds of things every day, and the 'dreaming' in this notebook can be changed to 'brushing teeth', or it can be changed to 'going to the bathroom' or 'eggs are cheap', anything can be put in. In other words ..."

Yoichiro raised his head and said: "To put it bluntly, everything is just accidental." So that's the case... Huang Jie finally understood.So, that dream had nothing to do with Kei's suicide. "It's a good thing to think hard about the reasons for something, but you must not be too arbitrary. If you are too arbitrary, it is worse than thinking about nothing." Yoichiro made an "L" sign beside his face.A moment later, Huang Jie responded with the same gesture. "OK?" "Well, OK." The uneasiness is completely gone, which is incredible. Yoichiro often explained a complicated matter to Huangjie in a simple way like this.Huang Jie always tried not to make unnecessary associations, and listened attentively to Yoichiro's explanation.From before to now, Huangsuke has never suffered any loss because of believing Yoichiro's words. "Your mother named you Huangjie because she hoped you would grow up strong. Your mother will be very disappointed if you often show uneasy expressions." "I see." Huang Jie stood up. "I'm going to get the clothes in." Huang Jie rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the balcony. "By the way, Dad, have you seen my headband? It's light blue, the one I wore at the sports meeting." Huang Jie tried to ask Yoichiro, but Yoichiro just shook his head silently. "Oh...that's fine." Where the hell did that headband go?Huang Jie felt incredible while collecting the clothes.Half received, Yoichiro also came to help.He saw that Huang Jie's method of drying clothes was the same as that of Sakie, and he showed a gratified expression. That evening, Yosuke saw Yoichiro sitting on a chair in the kitchen, staring at something thoughtfully.Following Yoichiro's line of sight, it turned out to be a plastic trash can next to the sink. "What's wrong?" Huang Jie asked, Yoichiro answered and raised his head. "It's nothing, it's just that Dad learned a lesson today." "What lesson?" "Dad's lesson is... don't rummage through the trash can if you have nothing to do." Yoichiro's expression was extremely empty, while Osuke was confused. In the evening, Yoichiro receives a call from Mizuki.Yoichiro was talking with Shuicheng through the phone in the living room in a low voice, while he kept looking at Osuke in the kitchen.It seemed that he didn't want Huang Jie to hear the conversation. "Borrow the computer." Huang Jie tactfully left, walked into Yoichiro's room, closed the door, and planned to do the composition given by the school today.At first, he was still standing by the door and eavesdropping, hoping to hear the conversation, but he could only hear intermittent whispers, and he couldn't understand what Yoichiro was saying at all.Huang Jie had no choice but to give up and left the door. He approached Yoichiro's desk, on which was a personal computer.Then, he found a piece of printed paper on the table, so he picked it up and took a look. This is the article that Yoichiro was writing before. It seems to be a report, but Huangsuke can't understand it at all.Just as he was about to put the paper back on the table, he suddenly noticed that there were a few lines in the lower half of the article that read: "From the standpoint of our psychiatrists, it is not necessary to treat all patients. We only need to give priority to treating patients with wisdom or special skills..." Huang Jie felt that his body was gradually becoming stiff, his heart was beating faster and faster, and his chest was getting colder and colder. Could it be that Yoichiro will become the same as before? Is that kind of life going to happen again? Now that Sakie is gone, there are only two people left in this family... "What are you going to use the computer for?" Suddenly hearing voices coming from behind, Huang Jie hastily put the printing paper in his hand back on the table. "Oh, I have homework to do... Can I use it now?" "sure." Yoichiro went back to the living room. Huang Jie's eyes were fixed on the computer, but he was thinking in his heart, why not tell Tian Di about this, that person had accepted the request of himself and Sakieda before, and helped a lot.He can definitely solve the problem again... As a result, Huang Jie had no intention of writing that night.The horrific painting hung on the wall next to the desk, and the man with the gaping mouth, the red sky, and the twisted lines seemed to grow more creepy.
