Chapter 30 The Second Nightmare Victim

After the police officer left with his men, the noodle shop returned to peace not long after, and only some people were still discussing what had just happened.

Lin Xiangcheng stayed for a while and saw that it was fine here, so he said goodbye to Aunt Xie and took Xia Wei away from the noodle shop.

"What happened just now?"

As soon as he walked out of the noodle shop gate, Xia Wei couldn't wait to ask.

"What did you do to that person, why did he suddenly turn against the water."

If the T-shirt man hadn't turned against him and told the truth in person, the noodle shop would have really jumped into the Yellow River this time, but it was just that what was hard to understand was how Lin Xiangcheng did.

Lin Xiangcheng casually said, "You know hypnosis."

"Is that hypnosis?" Xia Wei curled her lips, "Don't lie to me. How can hypnosis make people fall into trouble so quickly? And it doesn't look like he was hypnosis when he talks."

Speaking of this, she paused, glanced at Lin Xiangcheng, and saw that he looked calm naturally, and couldn't help asking again with suspicion, "Is it really a hypnosis?"

"Believe it or not." Lin Xiangcheng shrugged.

Xia Wei pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Lin Xiangcheng knew that she had not fully believed it, otherwise she would have activated a [fraud] skill.

The topic of the two quickly turned to what they were doing.

"I asked a video with a customer who recorded it for the complete video. It has just been posted on several popular websites. More than 400 reposts were reported in half an hour. I guess by tomorrow, Yuxiu Pavilion's shameless behavior will spread throughout Tianxin City." Xia Wei said relievedly.

Yuxiuge did not lose any rice this time. Not only did it fail to achieve its goal, it also trapped itself. What a restaurant chain brand like this is its reputation. If it has a bad reputation, the business will naturally not be able to continue. Not to mention the chain store in the South District, I am afraid that the main store in the North District will be greatly affected.

After this incident, Yuxiu Pavilion considers its reputation and probably won’t start the noodle restaurant again. The crisis of the noodle restaurant will naturally be solved, and Lin Xiangcheng no longer has to think about how to solve the problem.

Although the commission was gone, he didn't feel much regretful. In comparison, the next nightmare incident made him more concerned.

A taxi was stopped at the intersection. After getting on the bus, Lin Xiangcheng dialed the mobile phone number on the note.

"Hello, who is it?"

A slightly magnetic mature female voice came from the other side of the phone. The voice was pleasant, but it had a hint of unconcealed hoarseness and fatigue, which was quite similar to Xie Yuanliang, who was plagued by nightmares at the time.

"Is it Miss Shang Aiting? I am Lin Xiangcheng from Sunflower Firm."

The opposite side was silent for a few seconds, then it seemed as if he suddenly thought of something, and his tone became a little strange, "Are you what Boss Xie said, the private detective who can cure nightmares?"

"Yes, my assistant and I are rushing to your apartment now. Can we see below?"

"...Yes, I will tell the community security guard in advance, just come in after you arrive."

"Thanks."

Not long after hanging up the phone, the taxi drove into the North District and finally stopped in front of a community that looked very high-end.

The security guard who had already been notified simply registered and let Lin Xiangcheng and Xia Wei pass.

"I have seen photos of this community online. It seems to be one of the best high-end residential communities in Tianxin City. The floor area ratio is only 0.5, and the price of any building starts from eight digits." Xia Wei looked around and couldn't help but stutter.

The community is basically ground floor villas with beautiful environment and a very luxurious green area.

Obviously, the firm's employer this time is either rich or noble.

Following the address on the note, Lin Xiangcheng arrived at the door a while ago and rang the doorbell.

The owner of the house was obviously waiting for him for a long time and opened the door soon.

"welcome."

The door opened was a woman wearing long-sleeved and long trousers. She looked about in her early thirties, with beautiful facial features and beautiful style unique to mature women. However, her slightly sunken cheeks and clear gloomy fatigue from the foundation of her eyes destroyed this beauty.

"I'm disturbing." Lin Xiangcheng nodded slightly at her and walked into the room.

Xia Wei followed behind and showed Shang Aiting a sunny smile.

"Sit up casually, sorry, the nanny is not here and I haven't prepared refreshments and fruits." Shang Aiting said.

Even though she looked very tired, she still felt a faint sense of oppression when she spoke, which made people feel nervous involuntarily. It can be seen that she should be in a high position on weekdays.

But the two people sitting in front of her are not ordinary people. Xia Wei has a free and easy rebellious heart, independent and strong heart, and dares to fight directly when she meets a vicious gangster. Naturally, this kind of scene will not be nervous and restrained.

Not to mention Lin Xiangcheng, his whole body was filled with a perfect relaxation, and he was both polite and without any restraint.

"It's okay, Miss Shang, let's get to the point now. Uncle Xie said that you have been having nightmares frequently recently. Can you tell me about the specific story?"

Perhaps Lin Xiangcheng's calm performance gave Shang Aiting a little more confidence. She nodded without hesitation, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "My first nightmare was on the night 40 days ago. At that time, I thought it was just an ordinary nightmare, so I ignored it. However, seven days later I had the same nightmare, followed by six days, five days, four days... Every nightmare, the interval between the next time is shortened by one day. Until the last few days, I have nightmare every night and I don't dare to sleep anymore."

Shang Aiting smiled wryly and pointed to the corner of the coffee table, where four or five empty coffee pots were piled up scattered. It was obvious that she was relying on these refreshing spirits and forced herself to not sleep.

"I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, I may never wake up again."

Lin Xiangcheng nodded secretly. Shang Aiting's condition was similar to Xie Yuanliang's. It seemed that as time passed, the frequency of nightmares would gradually increase, which was considered to be a "severe of the disease" in another sense.

But this is not what he cares most about.

"Where is the content of the nightmare?" Lin Xiangcheng asked then.

Shang Aiting pursed her lips. Even though she had been very calm and elegant since the meeting, she could not help but feel a deep fear flashed in her eyes when she mentioned the nightmare that had troubled her for a long time.

"Don't you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

After a few seconds of silence, Shang Aiting pointed to the cigarette box on the coffee table.

Lin Xiangcheng made a gesture of asking for advice, but Xia Wei did not object.

He lit a lady's cigarette and took a deep breath. Shang Aiting slowly calmed down and said softly after a moment:

"Every time I dream... I will appear in different places, and it's late at night... Then a monster comes to chase me, constantly chasing me. At the end of each nightmare, I will be caught by it, and suddenly wake up the moment before I'm about to be killed."

"What does that monster look like?"

Shang Aiting was silent for a while and replied: "It looks a bit like an alien in the movie, about one meter tall, with long limbs, like an octopus tentacle, but there are dense spikes at the tail, and the skin of the body is gray and spots..."

Although the fear was hard to hide in his tone, Shang Aiting still tried his best to clearly explain the characteristics of the monster. Halfway through hearing it, Lin Xiangcheng had already guessed in his heart.

"Does that monster like to tighten your neck with tentacles after it catches you?"
