After Meng Nan finished, Chen Ge and Dr. Gao did not speak for a long time.
Washing one's hair meant washing away bad luck and dirt. Normally, good things would happen when one dreamt of washing one's hair, but the scenario that Meng Nan described was not a good thing at all. No matter how one looked at it, it was a nightmare.
"Do you still remember what the person looked like in your dream and the environment you were in?" Meng Nan was probably the special visitor that the black phone had mentioned. Every choice that Chen Ge made and every question that he asked would affect the final reward.
"If I remember correctly, it was inside the bathroom that I rented. The placement of the items is very familiar, but I can't be sure." Meng Nan lowered his head, and his voice became even smaller. "I can't see the person who was standing next to me clearly, but I'm sure that he is getting closer and closer to me. For the past few weeks, I've been having the same dream. Every time I have the dream, the scene in the dream becomes clearer. I can see the man's face more and more clearly. "
"What does he look like?"
"Soon. I should be able to see his face in the next dream!" Meng Nan lowered his head, and when he spoke, his eyes moved upward. It looked quite scary.
The young man's description was very vague, and he did not provide anything valuable.
Chen Ge did not give up and continued to ask, "Can you be more specific? For example, when you were washing your hair, did the person do anything or say anything?"
"The content of the dream is almost the same." Meng Nan's hoarse voice was shaking. "Three weeks ago, when I had this dream for the first time, I didn't think it was that scary. I don't know why in the dream, but I woke up in the middle of the night to enter the bathroom. In the dream, all my thoughts stopped, and I could only follow my body's instinct. Or perhaps there was another force controlling me.
"The initial dream was blurry. I stopped before the mirror, filled the basin with water, and then reached my head into the water.
When I bent down, with my head lowered, I could see the person at the door upside down.
"Initially, he was very far away from me. It was not until I finished washing myself that I realized he seemed to have moved closer to where I was. Yes, just a little. "
"After that dream, I had another dream, so I didn't pay much attention to it at first."
"But something really unimaginable happened. On the second day, I had this dream again!"
"It's exactly the same. You come to the bathroom, stand in front of the mirror, fill it with water, and then bend over and stick your head into the water."
"When my head touched the surface of the water, I could see someone standing in the living room. When I was done, the person moved closer to me."
"The same dream kept repeating over and over again. At the beginning, I was muddle-headed in the dream, but later, I was completely awake as I watched everything. My brain was functioning normally, and my senses became 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 so scared in the dream, but I couldn't wake up no matter what."
"Once I fell asleep, the dream continued. Two and a half weeks ago, the man in the dream entered the living room. One week ago, the man appeared at the bathroom door, and four days ago, the man walked to my side!"
"He was standing right next to me. Once I bent over to reach my head into the water, his body would tilt with me, and the blurry face would slowly move closer."
Just listening to Meng Nan's story, Chen Ge felt quite creeped out, much less the young man who had experienced it himself.
For three consecutive weeks, he had the same dream, and in the dream, there was a man whose face could not be seen moving closer. No wonder he would end up like this.
"The night before yesterday, I had the same dream again, and that was the last time I had that dream." Meng Nan tried to raise his head, and his eyes were moving rapidly in their sockets. "The man's face was so close to me that I could almost see it clearly, but at that moment, he used his hands to strangle my neck. Then I woke up, and I haven't dared to go back to sleep. "
Meng Nan's situation was very bad. The man in the dream had his hands strangling his neck. If the dream continued, who knew what would happen next?
The situation was more urgent than Doctor Gao had described. No wonder Doctor Gao would come to find Chen Ge. He was just trying his luck.
"I keep having this dream, and it's always inside the bathroom." Chen Ge thought about it and asked, "Could it be that there's something wrong with the apartment itself? I'll tell you a possibility first. Don't be afraid, this is just my speculation. "
"Go on."
"Is it possible that someone died in the room that you rented, and the body has not been found, so it came to you in your dream, hoping that you can help it call the police and prove its innocence?"
After Chen Ge said that, Meng Nan's face turned green. He sucked in deep breaths. "There's a dead body hiding in my room? Impossible, that's impossible! "
He was agitated. If not for Doctor Gao's hand on his shoulder, he would have acted up again.
Doctor Gao also had a strange expression on his face. "I've been to his place and checked it inside and out, but there's nothing wrong. Furthermore, one week ago, I brought Meng Nan to stay at my place, and he still had the same dream. It did not stop just because he was not in the apartment.
"When he first saw the man in the dream, the man was standing at the door, so there's a high chance that the man came from outside. Our search cannot be limited to Meng Nan's room. We should expand the search to the whole apartment. " Chen Ge gave his opinion. Afraid that he might agitate Meng Nan, he did not say the second half of the sentence. The ghost might have already haunted him, and it was not something that could be solved by moving to another place to sleep.
"We're not the police, so we don't have the right to search the whole apartment. Even if we do, this reason is too far-fetched. " Doctor Gao had no idea whether it was the right decision to come to Chen Ge or not. "Why don't we analyze this dream first? Meng Nan keeps washing his hair in the dream. Perhaps we can find clues from the symbolism of washing his hair."
Doctor Gao tried to persuade Chen Ge, and Chen Ge listened to the man's analysis patiently. Unfortunately, these things could not explain why Meng Nan kept having the same dream.
