Chapter 1373: Recurrence of nightmares and auditory hallucinations
The girl did not sleep well that night.

She was always surprised by nightmares.

A nightmare with the same content as the hallucination she had seen before.

The rabbit that was supposed to be dead suddenly opened its tightly closed eyes, and looked at her with its scarlet eyes...

The next day, the girl could hardly wait to get in the car that came to pick her up with her parents.

……

She thought that as long as she left here, this matter would be over.

She also deliberately made herself forget about it.

but.

After returning home, she had nightmares for two months.

During the worst period, she would even feel terrified whenever she heard someone say the word "rabbit".

To others, she hates rabbits.

Many people wonder why a girl would hate cute rabbits?

She said that she was bitten by a rabbit when she was a child and that she had a psychological trauma.

No one else knew about that incident except the brother and sister.

She kept this matter a secret in her heart, and even though she was scared, she never told anyone about it or asked for help.

It’s just that people have limits.

Fortunately, her nightmare ended just when she was about to give up.

……

"Now that I think about it, there's no need for me to hide this."

The curly-haired woman smiled bitterly, "Master Xiao, do you think I'm making a fuss?"

"will not."

Xiao Xiao's answer without hesitation surprised the curly-haired woman.

Then she smiled a sincere smile and said, "Thank you."

"Master Xiao, the reason why I don't want others to know about this..."

“It was because I had very bad thoughts at the time.”

The curly-haired woman pursed her lips, "It's really... very bad."

Xiao Xiao's always gentle and calm attitude made her feel relaxed and made her more willing to open her heart.

Besides, she had come here to ask Master Xiao for help. Now that she had said so much, she didn't mind saying more.

"I was startled at first when I saw the dead rabbit, but I wasn't that scared."

"At least not to the point of turning around and running away."

"I'm not that timid."

"I'm just a little upset and scared."

"do you know?"

"What am I upset about? What am I afraid of?"

The curly-haired woman pulled the corners of her mouth, lowered her eyes slightly, and did not look at Xiao Xiao.

The hand holding the umbrella handle tightened a little more.

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything.

He knew that the girl was not asking him, but herself.

……

The girl took a deep breath and opened and closed her mouth several times before she made a sound again.

"I don't know why I have such an idea..."

What does she regret?
What is she afraid of?
What upset her was that she could have saved the rabbit, and she wanted to save it, but she failed to do so because of her negligence.

No, she shook her head.

Although she did have some thoughts in this regard, she...

The girl bit her lower lip.

She was more concerned about whether her negligence in this matter would be known to others and whether someone would blame her for it.

Thinking she had killed a cute rabbit.

I wonder why she is so cruel...

This is what she was afraid of...

……

"It's scary, isn't it?"

"When the rabbit died, I was not sad about the loss of a life, but worried that my image in other people's minds might be damaged."

The curly-haired woman smiled, but looked up at Xiao Xiao and then lowered her eyes again. She didn't even see Xiao Xiao's expression at this moment.

“…I am a girl who cares more about what others think.”

"Since I was a child, I grew up with everyone's praise."

"It's the other person's child that the parents are talking about."

"Perhaps because of this, I subconsciously resist anything that will damage my image."...

"At that time, in everyone's eyes, I was probably just a silly and innocent little girl."

"Of course, I'm not stupid or foolish."

"Even if that's the case, I won't be able to get into Yanda."

The girl smiled unconsciously, "I mean words with positive connotations like cute, simple, kind and pure."

"A girl like me would never forget that a wounded rabbit is waiting for my rescue. Even if I am wounded, I should run home to get help for the rabbit."

"That would be consistent with the impression I always give people."

"I know."

"It is precisely because I knew this that I concealed this matter."

“I’m afraid of people being disappointed in me.”

……

“Are you feeling disillusioned with me?”

The curly-haired girl laughed at herself.

"why?"

The curly-haired girl was about to smile, but Xiao Xiao's next words made the corners of her mouth twitch.

"I don't know you."

How can we talk about disillusionment?
Curly-haired girl: ...

"So, why did you come to me?"

Xiao Xiao was a little confused, "I'm not a psychologist."

Curly-haired girl: ...

Well, what she said before did sound like she was talking to a psychologist about her troubles.

She shook her head slightly.

Then, she looked up at Xiao Xiao with a frown on her face, "I had a nightmare again."

"More than just a nightmare."

The curly-haired woman said hurriedly again.

If it was just a nightmare, why would she come to find Master Xiao, who was suspected to be an expert?
"I seem to be hallucinating."

“Maybe it’s not an auditory hallucination.”

The woman hesitated, "But no one heard it except me."

"And I heard a voice"

The woman took a deep breath and said, "It's the same as what I heard back then."

"It was like a 'bang' sound."

"That voice seemed to be telling me something?"

As if she knew her words were a little ridiculous, the woman smiled unnaturally, "I know it sounds weird."

"I don't know what the 'bang bang bang' sound is, but I can actually hear the meaning of it."

"But, somehow I have this feeling."

"Maybe I've had a nervous breakdown because of this strange noise?"

"I have nightmares at night and hear strange noises during the day. I am really going to collapse."

"I went to see a doctor."

Although I don’t think there is anything wrong with my mental state, human feelings can often be deceptive.

She hesitated and struggled for a long time, but finally decided to go to the hospital.

"But it's no use."

The girl smiled bitterly, "My situation hasn't improved at all."

"I can't help but wonder if I'm being haunted by something dirty."

"I"

The girl's voice lowered a little. "Is this retribution?"

"But it's been so long."

"I haven't had this nightmare in many years."

She had almost forgotten about it.

"I do not understand."

The girl looked confused, "Why am I suddenly having this nightmare again?"

"I also had the auditory hallucinations I heard at that time."

"Is it a coincidence?"

"Or is there any chance?"

"Is this my own problem? Or..."
