In the photos sent by Zhuo Yumo, there are dead fish floating upside down in the fish tank in the living room, and there is a shivering and plucked cat hiding in a corner of the flower garden. The villa is in a mess, with water, cat hair and blood all over the ground. .

It was made by Zhong Li.

Doctor Bai immediately washed and changed clothes, and took a taxi to Zhong Li's villa.When they arrived, Zhuo Yumo and Luo Ting were already waiting there.

Zhong Li was forcibly put on a straitjacket by two guards, and is currently locked in a room on the second floor.The nurse said that when they woke up in the morning and saw the floor of the living room and the dead fish in the fish tank, they felt something was wrong. They went out to search around and found the dying kitten in the flower garden.They immediately put Zhong Li in a straitjacket, and one of them went out to send the kitten to a nearby pet hospital, while the other stayed behind to watch Zhong Li.

"We don't know when he did it, and there was no movement at all last night. The wild cat was made like that by him, and it is impossible for him to keep silent. We are all quite puzzled." The nurse said, with a few expressions on his face. A look of fear.They had worked as nurses in a mental hospital before, and it was not uncommon to see patients like Zhong Li, but none of them made them feel as creepy as Zhong Li.

A depressive atmosphere lingered in the villa. Doctor Bai looked at Luo Ting, a little worried about his situation. After all, he and Zhong Li could be regarded as the same kind of people, and she was a little afraid that he would be infected by Zhong Li.However, to her surprise, Luo Ting was quite calm and composed. Standing beside Zhuo Yumo, he looked like an ordinary person who couldn't be more normal.

Feeling apprehensive, Dr. Bai went upstairs accompanied by the nurse.

Zhuo Yumo stood in the mess, unable to hide the worry in his eyes.But he was afraid that Luo Ting would be worried, so he blinked, quickly calmed down, turned around and went to find a broom to clean the living room.But before he took two steps away, Luo Ting followed and grabbed his arm.He looked back at his lover in confusion, Luo Ting reached out to touch his slightly cold face, and said in a low voice: "If he does this again, let's send him away."

For safety reasons, this is naturally the best choice, but Zhuo Yumo still wants to hear Dr. Bai's opinion first.He always felt that there was something strange about it that they didn't know. If Zhong Li really couldn't control himself, he would do those things no matter whether there was anyone present or not. Are still relatively normal.

Zhuo Yumo told Luo Ting what he thought.Luo Ting's eyes moved, as if thinking of something, but his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

The two quietly cleaned the living room while waiting for Dr. Bai. It took about an hour before she came down from the stairs.

"Zhong Li's mood and mentality are very unstable now." Dr. Bai frowned, "but his mental state is actually good. In fact, his photo gave us a preconceived notion that he was seriously ill, but the actual situation was not. As far as we thought."

"Then why..." Zhuo Yumo glanced at the fish tank in the living room, but didn't continue.

"He said he had a nightmare last night." Dr. Bai sighed, "When he talked about the nightmare, his mood fluctuated a lot, and his mental state was a little bad. But he is actually very awake now and knows how to control himself. Last night was I did those things when I had a nightmare and couldn’t control my emotions.”

nightmare...

Zhuo Yumo suddenly remembered that Luo Ting and Zhong Mu also had frequent nightmares recently. He asked him what they dreamed about, but they refused to tell.

Are the brothers' nightmares all about their past?

"What did he dream about?" Zhuo Yumo asked cautiously.

Doctor Bai looked at Luo Ting, hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Father."

Sure enough, upon hearing this word, Luo Ting's eyes suddenly became sharp and cold, and he aimed at Doctor Bai like a knife.And Zhuo Yumo had already guessed this, so he was not surprised when he heard Dr. Bai's answer, but his heart throbbed, making him a little out of breath.

Dr. Bai said that Zhong Li dreamed that his father was a huge black shadow, covering him all the time, and drove him into the strange fire. He wanted to escape, but a little fox led him through the swamp full of toys. The escape was almost at an end, and he could get rid of the shadow as long as he opened the door, but a cat jumped out and ate the door.

"He said that he was very, very angry when he woke up in the middle of the night, and he happened to see a cat sleeping in the flowerbed." Doctor Bai sighed softly, "What he did was not only venting his anger, but also a subconscious self. To protect yourself, to prove your strength by hurting other things, to convince and comfort yourself that you don't need to be afraid. I can only know so much at the moment, but in view of his behavior last night, I still recommend sending him to a specialized hospital or institution. "

Zhuo Yumo and Luo Ting looked at each other seriously after hearing this.

Doctor Bai saw that they seemed to have doubts, so he pushed his glasses: "Is there any question?"

"Zhong Li has been in a nursing home abroad for nearly 20 years. The person in charge there said that his condition has been relatively good, and he is actually very gentle. But in the past year, he has become more and more anxious and aggressive. I also often have nightmares." Luo Ting paused here, thought for a while before continuing, "I also often have nightmares recently... I would dream that I was Zhong Mu when I was a child."

His words surprised Zhuo Yumo and Dr. Bai at the same time.

Zhuo Yumo didn't expect that Luo Ting would take the initiative to tell Dr. Bai about himself, and what he was talking about was his nightmare of becoming a young Zhong Mu.

And Dr. Bai was surprised by the content of Luo Ting's nightmare, which almost confirmed her conjecture, not only that, it is very likely that Zhong Mu and Luo Ting's personalities have gradually begun to merge.

But back to the nightmare itself, leaving aside the mysterious idealism such as "brothers unite the heart", Zhong Li and Luo Ting—that is, Zhong Mu—have been having frequent nightmares recently. Is there any inevitable connection between them?

Dr. Bai frowned and thought hard, but couldn't think of any reason for a while.But this does not prevent her from judging Zhong Li. Even though Luo Ting told him all about his past in a nursing home abroad, she still suggested that they send Zhong Li to a professional institution for treatment for a period of time, and he must be hospitalized. He's really getting more and more aggressive, and keeping him in a home with a free environment is likely to cause trouble.

After seeing off Doctor Bai, Zhuo Yumo asked Luo Ting to go upstairs to see Zhong Li.Luo Ting looked at him, obviously awkward and didn't want to go up.Zhuo Yumo touched his back and said in a low voice: "Go, he had a nightmare, and he definitely wants you to go and see it. You don't need to comfort him, at least sit with him?"

"I'm not his..."

"Don't be stubborn." Zhuo Yumo pointed at Luo Ting, telling him to think carefully before speaking.

"..."

Luo Ting finally went upstairs without saying a word.

He didn't know what was going on either.

The decision to bring Zhong Li back at the beginning was not based on any emotional motives, but I just thought it would be more direct and less troublesome, and it would also cause trouble for Zhong Mu.He did have such a "brother" in his memory, but he neither remembered his appearance nor his voice. He didn't know whether that "brother" had a good or bad personality.

Strangely, when he went to the nursing home and saw Zhong Li being called "Xiao Mu" by Zhong Li, he felt a feeling of emotion in his heart.Except for Zhuo Yumo, he would not have any positive emotions or thoughts towards anyone's actions. What's more, he hated others to regard him as a favorite, but the sick and pale young man could do it with just two simple words. It made him feel shaken.

Shaking his head, Luo Ting tried hard to get rid of this useless "closeness".He loathes all people and things related to the Zhong family, and doesn't want to have any contact with them at all.Now going upstairs is only because Zhuo Yumo thought he would do so, he just wanted Zhuo Yumo to feel at ease.

After going upstairs, when he opened the door and entered the room, he saw Zhong Li obediently sitting on the bay window sill, his upper body was still bound by a straitjacket.Probably because he heard the movement, Zhong Li turned his head to look at the door, and saw that he was coming, he burst out laughing, and called him "Xiao Mu" very gently.

At this moment, looking at Zhong Li who was wearing a straitjacket smiling so brightly at him, Luo Ting suddenly felt his heart twitch, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.He walked over to help Zhong Li take off his straitjacket, and threw the clothes at his feet in disgust.

They sat quietly in the room for a while, Luo Ting's expression was not good, Zhong Li seemed to know how to read words, so he didn't take the initiative to lean over, just looked out of the window for a while, then turned to look at "brother".

"I... I heard that you dreamed about your father?" After a long time, it was Luo Ting who spoke first.Seeing that Zhong Li's mood had stabilized, he tried to ask about the nightmare, "Did you often dream of him before?"

Hearing the word "Father", Zhong Li narrowed his eyes, and a fierce look flashed across his face.Fortunately, he didn't lose control, but slowly lowered his head, thought for a while and said, "It's only recently that I often dream of him... I used to only dream of my mother and younger brother."

I haven't dreamed about my father in more than ten years, why do I suddenly have frequent nightmares about him recently?

Luo Ting was really puzzled, because he himself was the same.He used to hardly dream, but recently he often dreams of being locked in a cage.

"Xiaomu..."

"Ok?"

Luo Ting subconsciously raised his head to look at Zhong Li, but soon realized that he had answered Zhong Li without realizing it, and felt extremely depressed for a moment.

"Do you often dream about your father too?" Zhong Li looked at him curiously.

"I made it very clear, I..." Luo Ting rolled his eyes irritably, 12 wanted to make it clear to Zhong Li that he was not Zhong Mu, his younger brother, and he was not the same father as him, but when the words came to his lips, somehow It changed, "...I did dream about it recently."

The two were having a seemingly meaningless and repeated conversation. Zhuo Yumo, who had been staying downstairs all this time, came in holding his mobile phone with a complicated look on his face.

"What's the matter?" Luo Ting saw that his expression was not right, and immediately stood up to meet him.

"Doctor Bai called me..." Zhuo Yumo said a little helplessly, "She said that Zhong Li's father...that is, Zhong Mu's father, is about to be released from prison."
