Before his death, he said that he was haunted by "evil spirits from his past life."
Every night I dream about an old house, a black shadow strangling my neck, and a copper bell whispering.
His psychiatrist Lin Mo does not believe in ghosts and gods.
His diagnosis: delusional schizophrenia with post-traumatic stress disorder.
He prescribes medicine, he treats, and he signs a "cure" conclusion.
A week later, Chen Yan died in the secret room.
The doors and windows were locked, no trauma, no struggle.
The face is distorted and the pupils are dilated - as if seeing something,
But no one dared to say what he saw.
Three days later, Lin Mo received a black diary.
The first half of the book is about Chen Yan's nightmare.
The second half of the book is about Lin Mo's life:
"At 3:17 pm on Wednesday, I answered Su Qing's call at the cafe."
"On Friday night at 7 o'clock, I was making tomato scrambled eggs at home, but I added too much salt."
"You didn't lock the door, but you wanted him to push it open and come in."
Lin Mo never told anyone these things.
He thought someone was following him.
Until he turned to the last page——
There is only one line there:
"Did you hear that?"
——Not a question.
It's judgment.
