Chapter 13 The Man Under the Mask (3)

********************

Night mist is misty

It seems like there is wind in the world. If you stretch out your arms, you can clearly sense the flow of air between your five fingers.

Yu sighed

It was the same strange dream, the same illusion he was eager to escape

The dull stage, the pale spotlight, the flying whip, who is crying?

The whip leaps like a spirit snake, the jumping bronze mask floats and sinks in the dark, the quadrilateral Takeda family emblem on the forehead is reflected by strange and gloomy glitter, flashing like a ghost

The man in the bronze mask suddenly bullied himself forward, and his whole body emerged from the shadow, as if the demon in the painting had suddenly escaped from the scroll of paper and approached straight, his eyes...

His eyes...

Who is such a familiar look? Who is it?

Yu turned around and wanted to escape, but could not take any steps at all. He could only watch the man approaching him step by step, and his tall figure blocked all the light...

Yu woke up from the dream with cold sweat, gasping heavily. It was not the first time he had done this dream, but this time it seemed extremely clear

Every detail is so slight, almost like a real event

Even the pain of whip hitting his lower body was as strong as reality

There is a very clear whip mark here

He remembered that Ninja once forced him to look at himself in the mirror and slid away his body hair. There was indeed a very faint white mark.

That... is indeed very similar to a whip mark left many years ago

So is this real? A dream?

If it is true, why does he have no impression at all?

If it is a dream, why do there be traces of whip?

In this dark night, he suddenly felt very cold, very cold

Isn’t that stage with poor settings the dilapidated auditorium of the boarding school he attended when he was a teenager?

Sakurano Breathing Xue, isn’t it the Kabuki performance that the family of three went to Tokyo to watch before the accident?

That was the last family fun they enjoyed

The play tells the story of Katsura Takeda, who was defeated and desperate, and finds that his sister Matsuhide actually attempts to join the love man, who is his enemy Nobuta Oda, so she tied her to a cherry blossom tree and scolded her for forgetting the family's righteousness and being blinded by lust.

Yu still remembers his father's restless look when he watched this scene. He originally thought that the performance of the famous actor Tsuruchi was too vivid. Now he thought, it was probably because of his father who used this scene to persuade his mother to cherish this family?

Unfortunately, everything happened irreversibly

So the loving father turned into a cold tyrant, the warm home turned into a cold boarding school, and the gorgeous Tokyo stage turned into a small and dim school auditorium...

His life has been completely overturned from now on

Countless fragments passed by Yu's mind, loneliness, despair, neglected sorrow, and the pain of being violated... Never know how much harm those words have caused to him

Although Jianzhi told himself that everything was over, he was ready to let go and start over again. However, even if the rotten meat was cut off, the pain of tearing it off with the skin was not enough to be told by outsiders.

Fortunately, he has a strong personality and has been suppressed after several ups and downs. He faces the aggressive teacher with a smile.

A long time ago, he knew that as long as he could still smile, he would never cry in front of outsiders, just because no one in this world has the obligation to wipe away your tears.

What's more, he is facing such a cold teacher. Exposing his weakness not only does not arouse any sympathy and pity, but will instead lead to more violent attacks and humiliation until he is completely defeated.

For the same reason, he could face the aggressive generals of Toshiba and never reveal Qingxiao's name.

Intuition tells him that the less the teacher knows, the safer he will be.

He refused to share those warmth and tenderness with anyone, just like the pain deep in his heart, he would only lick it alone in the quiet and lonely night.

Perhaps, there is nothing wrong with this. Only by experiencing the baptism of tears can people become stronger

So if this nightmare really contains an unbearable experience, he would rather think about it yourself than be maliciously exposed by the teacher.

Even if he could finally untie the knot, he would have surgery without anesthetics. He really didn't want to try the bloody taste.

The bronze mask leaped between the dark shadows and the pale spotlights, and the look under the mask seemed extremely familiar and extremely strange...

Yu felt a headache splitting, as if his mind was split with a sharp axe. Under the strange bronze mask, there seemed to be a tragic fate waiting for him. Just when he was uncovered, he would swallow him ruthlessly.

The Takeda family's roster of the sacred family appeared and disappeared in the cold light, with teasing and intimidation

He wanted to reveal it, but he didn't dare. The weakness and contradictions he had never experienced grabbed his heart

Maybe, maybe he doesn't have to be so anxious?

It's Ah, you should have a good rest and don't force yourself too much. Someone gently comforted him in his ears, with a reassuring and strange power.

Sleep, don't worry that you still have a lot of things, you have Qingxiao, and me, the voice is murmuring, low and soft, making him unconsciously close his eyes

Yes, I should have a good sleep and have enough energy and physical strength to hold on. He said in his heart, "Thank you, are you Teacher Yamashita?" This is actually a fact that he has already affirmed, but for some reason, I want to get the exact answer from the other party.

The man seemed to be chuckling and did not answer his question positively: Go to bed quickly, don't think too much about it. I am your friend, a person who will never leave you

This answer made him smile comfortably. Listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, he gradually fell asleep. He didn't know that at almost the same time, he endured three shots at his image on the big screen.

********************

Note: Sometimes some experiences that people forget for various reasons will appear in the dream in the form of subconscious mind, but in most cases, the dream is not a real reproduction of the real experience, but after some distortion and modification

For example, a psychologist dreamed that he saw two mothers and daughters on the street, and his daughter was a patient. The real situation was that a female patient complained to him that her mother opposed her continuing to come to the doctor for treatment.

Freud once wrote a book "Analysis of Dreams" about the source and modification of the dream. Interested readers can come and take a look.

In this article, Yu's dream is not the original reproduction of his real experience, but the concentrated reorganization of multiple painful experiences, including the loneliness of the boarding school, the betrayal of his adoptive father, etc.

I wonder if you can understand this explanation?

In fact, hypnosis also distorts the reality. The reason may be that the hypnotist’s lack of skills caused misleading, or it may be intentional and deliberately imposed a non-existent memory.

Therefore, the police will use hypnosis technology to find clues, but the hypnotic information cannot be used as testimony presented in court, which means that it cannot be used as reliable and powerful evidence in law.
