Chapter 48 You are the only one missing
I stared at Lao Chen’s face...
Although my experience is not as sure as that of the police, at this moment, it doesn’t look like I am lying to Lao Chen, or is he deliberately hiding something?
"Old Chen, you really don't know, do you?!"
"I really don't know," Lao Chen nodded heavily, "I feel like I slept very well last night. I slept soundly all night. I haven't had such a good sleep for a long time..."
"So, you are sleepwalking again?"
"Sleepwalking... why am I sleepwalking again?" Lao Chen became even more nervous. He grabbed my hand and asked, "Did I do something extraordinary when I was sleepwalking? Please tell me quickly?!"
"You didn't do anything, just..."
"That video, what else was captured after that, why did you pause it and continue playing it?"
"You...you really want to see it?"
"Look, hurry up, hurry up!!!"
Lao Chen kept urging me, but I didn't click to play it because I felt it was necessary to set the stage first, lest Lao Chen would not be able to bear it mentally after watching it.
"Old Chen, this was taken by the waiter. He went to the tea area to get a thermos and saw you sitting there. You were behaving strangely, so he took the video..."
"I know, I know, stop talking nonsense and keep playing!"
Lao Chen was particularly anxious to watch the next video content. I wanted to give him a vaccination or something, but I didn’t know what to say. He urged me so I had to click to continue playing.
Soon, Lao Chen saw that the image of himself on the phone slowly faded out of the screen. That was because the phone moved to the opposite side of Lao Chen...
I have watched this video more than ten times, so I can’t feel any nervousness after watching it again, but Lao Chen is very nervous. I can feel that his breathing has stopped and his eyes are staring at the phone without blinking...
…
Just when Lao Chen thought he was about to see who the person sitting opposite was, however, he saw nothing...
Only then did Lao Chen realize that there was no one sitting across from him...
He is talking to the air on the other side!!!
When Lao Chen saw this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead again!
I had been closely observing the changes in the expression on Lao Chen's face. At this time, I saw him slowly lowering his head and even forgot to wipe the cold sweat on his temples.
It felt like he was thinking about something...
At first, I thought that Lao Chen would be very scared after seeing himself talking to the air when he was sleepwalking?
But what I feel is that after watching it, Lao Chen was afraid that it was just one aspect, there seemed to be something else...
It seems that after watching the video, he started thinking about something?
I waited for a while and asked Lao Chen in a low voice: "You...did you remember something?!"
Lao Chen ignored me and didn't look up.
I asked again: "Did you remember it because you saw that video? Can you tell me?!"
"I...I...I..."
When I asked about the second sentence, Lao Chen finally raised his head.
Seeing his hesitant expression, I knew that he must have remembered something.
Even if it's sleepwalking, I think it can at least leave some memories, right?
"Old Chen, tell me quickly!"
"Okay, okay, actually, it's not that I don't want to tell you, nor am I hiding it on purpose. I really can't remember clearly." Lao Chen vigorously scratched his pitiful hair with his nails, "If you hadn't shown me this
This video, I thought it was just a dream, and after I woke up, I couldn’t remember many things, almost all of them..."
I asked in a coaxing tone: "Did you dream last night? What did you dream about?!"
"Yes, I did have a dream," Lao Chen nodded gently, "In the dream... I... I dreamed about Mr. He..."
When it came to Mr. He, Lao Chen and I looked into each other's eyes, and neither of us said a word for several seconds.
I don’t know what Lao Chen is thinking in his heart at this time?
But I was wondering, could the invisible person sitting in the tea area last night be Mr. He’s ghost?!
Thinking of this...
I swallowed a mouthful of spit, then lowered my voice and asked Lao Chen: "Hey, what are you thinking?!"
When I asked him this question, Lao Chen seemed to be awakened from a dream, and his body trembled subconsciously!
After waking up, Lao Chen wiped the cold sweat from his face, and then told me: "I... I am recalling the dream last night?"
"Oh, did you remember it?!" I asked again.
Old Chen shook his head, then nodded: "It's very vague, I can't remember almost anything. However, I did dream about Mr. He in my dream. This is for sure..."
"What did you and Mr. He do in the dream?!"
"I can't remember clearly," Lao Chen rubbed his temples vigorously, "I really can't remember..."
"Then where did you go?" I continued to ask.
"I can't remember clearly...really..." Lao Chen shook his head and said.
This can’t be blamed on Lao Chen. Dreams are something that everyone has probably had. Whether it’s a sweet dream or a nightmare, in the dream you feel very immersed in the scene, but as soon as you wake up, you will soon forget it.
The memory that is slightly clear is only in the few minutes after waking up. As soon as a person is fully awake and gets out of bed, the memory of the dream will be quickly forgotten. It may be called being overwritten by new memories.
.
Regarding dreaming, I think most people feel this way, right?
Just now, I patiently asked Lao Chen what he did with Mr. He in his dream? Where did he go?
Lao Chen couldn't answer these two questions. It seemed that he had really forgotten.
Then I asked him again, what did Mr. He say to him?!
Originally, I didn't expect Lao Chen to recall it when I asked this question, but to my surprise, Lao Chen actually nodded at me.
Suddenly...
My heart is tight!!!
"You mean, you remember what Mr. He told you, right?" I hurriedly continued to ask.
"Yeah, but... he should have said a lot," Lao Chen said, raising a finger, "but... now that I recall, there seems to be only one sentence, and I still have some impression..."
"Really, what kind of sentence is that?!" I stared at Lao Chen and continued to ask.
"Mr. He told me," Lao Chen lowered his body, almost lying on the table of the desk, and spoke very slowly, "You are the only one missing..."
"……What?!"
I didn't understand for a while?
Lao Chen then repeated it again: "Mr. He was in his dream. He told me that he is just...one...of you...away..."
hiss……
The only one missing is you?!
