The Mysterious Files 2 - The Bizarre and the Real

Chapter 7

Fang Qin said that if Miss Luo didn't want to raise a ghost, she should take the human skin doll with her. She also said that Miss Luo's house had many artworks made from human remains, making the house very yin (negative energy), and since no man lived there, it would attract a lot of wandering ghosts sooner or later. Therefore, she suggested that Miss Luo enshrine Guan Yu (a deity) in her home to suppress the yin energy.

After leaving Miss Luo's house, I drove Fang Qin home. In the car, I asked her what she was doing in the bedroom. She glanced at the human skin doll on the back seat and said, "Chatting with them! Actually, they're quite pitiful..."

Fang Qin said that the human skin dolls were twins born before the liberation. Because their family was too poor, their parents sold them to a landlord when they were four or five years old. However, the landlord did not buy them back as their parents had told him, but instead made them into burial children.

The landlord ordered them to be buried in the ground, leaving only their heads above ground. Then, with a sharp knife, he cut a cross on their heads. After pulling back their scalps, the landlord ordered mercury to be poured into the wound. Because mercury is dense, it flowed continuously, stretching the skin and muscles. The pain of being skinned alive is unbearable even for adults, let alone four- or five-year-old children. They screamed and struggled wildly in agony. However, it was all in vain. No matter how desperately they screamed, no one would save them. Their bodies, buried under the soil, prevented them from moving an inch. Only when the mercury reached their feet and all their skin was stretched open could they crawl out. But their skin remained in its original place.

After being skinned, they quickly died from excessive blood loss. The landlord burned their bodies, and used their skin to make human skin dolls. He then had Taoist priests trap their souls inside these dolls, which were then used as funerary offerings.

It was during a time of war, and shortly after the burial, the tomb was looted. From then on, the siblings passed from merchant to merchant until Miss Luo brought them home. They discovered that Miss Luo's house had a heavy yin energy, and that absorbing this yin energy would increase their power, perhaps even breaking the seal on the human skin doll and allowing them to reincarnate. However, they later realized that relying solely on absorbing yin energy wouldn't be enough to break the seal, so they set their sights on Miss Luo, intending to drain her life essence while she slept.

Fang Qin believes that the siblings are not inherently bad; they were simply harmed by villains, which is why they targeted Miss Luo. She believes that if her master could remove the seal on them, they would have a chance to be reborn.

I believe that I am not a bad person at heart. I only asked Fang Qin for help to get my work done. Why should I treat her to dinner, karaoke, and a late-night snack all at once?

File Fifteen: I Will Marry No One But You

Author: Seeking No Desire

"If you're going to marry someone, don't marry anyone else, you must marry me..." A bride named Yilin quietly sang "The Girl from Daban City" in front of me. She is suspected of killing her husband, Mr. Yang, on their wedding night.

"He really likes to sing this song to me. Even though his classmates laugh at him for being old-fashioned, he still sings it to me often, and he sings it to me in front of everyone," Yilin said with a faint smile on her face.

"The 'he' you're referring to, is it Mr. Yang who just passed away?" I asked.

Yilin gently shook her head, her smile gradually turning into sadness, and said, "His name is Xiaohong. He was my childhood friend and my first love. We were neighbors when we were little, and we were born in the same year, so we played together since we were little. When I was born, perhaps because of the delivery, my left hand was a little clumsy, and I was clumsy at doing things that required both hands. Because of this, other children often bullied me."

"Whenever I was bullied, Xiao Hong would rush out to help me immediately. There was a chubby boy who was two or three years older than us who liked to bully me. Xiao Hong would fight with him, but she could never beat him. However, Xiao Hong never backed down. As long as he dared to touch me, Xiao Hong would pounce on him."

“Every time I saw Xiaohong covered in bruises, I would cry uncontrollably, but he would comfort me and say that as long as he was there, no one would bully me. Because we had a very good relationship, our parents often joked that we would become in-laws when we grew up. At that time, I had a vague concept of marriage, but I already wanted to be with Xiaohong forever.”

"Later, Dad was going to do business in the city, and we all had to move there. I was very reluctant to leave Xiaohong, but I couldn't leave my parents either, so after crying and making a fuss for a few days, I reluctantly moved to the city with them. Xiaohong and I agreed that he would come to say goodbye on the day we left, but he didn't come..."

"I cried for days because Xiao Hong stood me up, convinced he would never talk to me again. So after moving to the city, I didn't call him, thinking he had to call and apologize first. But I didn't realize that Xiao Hong didn't even know my new phone number. That's why we lost contact."

"Although city kids aren't as wild as country kids, I still get bullied sometimes. Whenever I'm bullied, I think of Xiao Hong, how he got bruises all over his body when he stood up for me, and how he didn't say goodbye to me the day I left. Before I knew it, I'd lived in the city for almost ten years, going from elementary school to junior high, and from junior high to high school. In the process, I'd gradually forgotten about Xiao Hong."

"Shortly after entering high school, I heard Xiao Hong's name at a school assembly. He was criticized for fighting with a classmate. Later, I asked around and found out that he was also attending the same school, but our classrooms were not in the same building, so we hadn't run into each other before."

“I really wanted to go see him, but we hadn’t seen each other for almost ten years, and the fact that he didn’t say goodbye to me kept me on edge. But what scared me the most was that when I greeted him, he would stare at me for a long time and then ask who I was. So I didn’t go to see him, but I secretly kept an eye on his every move.”

“I noticed that he would take a nap on the lawn next to the teaching building every day at noon, so I wrote ‘Do you know who I am?’ on a piece of paper, folded it into a paper airplane, and launched it from the classroom window on the third floor toward his seat. I launched six paper airplanes in total, and finally one landed on his head. I immediately hid and secretly watched him. When he woke up, he unfolded the paper airplane, saw the words on it, and after a moment of stunned silence, he jumped up and shouted, ‘I know you are Yilin!’”

"His actions startled me. Besides knowing that he hadn't forgotten me, it was also because it was lunch break and the campus was quiet. His shout not only woke up the students who were taking a nap, but also called the teacher on duty, who scolded him."

"When school was over, I walked up to him, and he kept grinning at me, saying he knew it was me who released the paper airplane. I asked him how he knew, and he said he recognized my handwriting, that only I could write such ugly characters. I knew he didn't recognize me by my handwriting, because that was impossible. My handwriting now is completely different from when I was a child, how could he recognize me? He could recognize me, maybe because he has always remembered me."

"I asked him why he didn't come to say goodbye to me that day. He said that he knew that I like to eat lychees the most, so he wanted to go to someone else's orchard to steal some for me to eat on the road, but he was caught. The people in the orchard took him by the ears to find his parents, and he was severely beaten by his father. He finally ran out, but I had already left, and he didn't know my address or phone number in the city, so he couldn't explain it to me.

"I regret not calling Xiaohong all this time, which made me misunderstand him for so long. But even after being separated for so many years, our relationship is even stronger than before, and we're inseparable. Our classmates all laugh at us for dating, but Xiaohong isn't embarrassed at all when they mock us. Instead, he sings 'The Girl from Daban City' to me in front of them... 'If you're going to marry someone, don't marry anyone else, you must marry me...'"

“From then on, Xiao Hong often told me that unless I never got married in my life, I would definitely marry him. In my heart, he was the only one I could entrust my life to. Although I didn’t say it out loud, I had already made up my mind that I would not marry anyone but him.”

"However, things are never perfect. Just when both sets of parents tacitly approved of our relationship and intended for us to get married as soon as we finished university, a speeding car took Xiao Hong's young life. Xiao Hong's sudden departure made me feel as desperate as if it were the end of the world. Several times I even thought about following him and ending my own life."

“I still got through the saddest days. When I was in college, many boys pursued me, but I rejected them all on the grounds of my studies. After graduation, I rejected all my suitors for various reasons. In fact, I only had one reason for rejecting them—they were all inferior to Xiao Hong, not even one ten-thousandth as good as him.”

"However, as I got older, my parents became more and more anxious about my marriage, and I also realized that Xiao Hong could never come back to me. In order not to worry my parents, I agreed to the blind date they arranged and met Xiao Yang. I didn't know much about Xiao Yang. From meeting to getting married, it only took about two months. We didn't even try to go on a date alone."

"Although Xiao Yang is no different from a stranger to me, it doesn't matter, because he is not Xiao Hong, and I can't marry Xiao Hong. The wedding was a lively affair arranged by both sets of parents, but I didn't feel happy at all. I just gave a perfunctory smile in response to the blessings from relatives and friends."

"According to custom, I had to wait alone in the bridal chamber until the groom had finished greeting the relatives and friends before coming to the bridal chamber. Perhaps the tedious rituals made me tired, or perhaps I didn't have much expectation for the groom, but I actually fell asleep while waiting. In my half-awake state, I saw Xiao Hong. He came to me with a lychee in his hand, crying, and said that he couldn't do anything for me, so he could only pick a lychee to give me as a wedding gift. Then, he sang 'The Girl from Daban City' to me... 'If you marry someone, don't marry anyone else, you must marry me...'"

"I was awakened by the sound of Xiao Yang opening the door. When I woke up, I found my pillow soaked with my tears, and to my surprise, I was clutching a lychee tightly in my hand. Xiao Yang had drunk a lot of alcohol; I could smell it on him as soon as he came in. When he saw that I had been crying, he got angry and asked if I didn't want to marry him. I told him that I really didn't want to marry him. Hearing that, he got even angrier and started hitting me."

"Xiao Hong never scolded me, let alone hit me. He would only get bruises for me, but he would never let me get hurt in the slightest. I suddenly felt that Xiao Hong was right beside me. I remembered the song he sang for me, 'The Girl from Daban City,' and I remembered him telling me that if I were to marry, I would marry him and not anyone else. A warm current suddenly welled up from the bottom of my heart, giving me courage and strength. I picked up the scissors that were part of my dowry and plunged them deep into Xiao Yang's body..."

Yilin said she did not regret killing Mr. Yang because she knew that Xiao Hong had always been by her side, so she could not marry someone else or let someone else defile her body.

While handling this case, I suddenly recalled the first line of the poem "The Wild Goose's Lament": "What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for each other?"

I wonder how many other unwavering loves like Yilin and Xiaohong's are there in this world? Perhaps there are many, many more.

The Sixteen Ghost Paths of Archives

Author: Seeking No Desire

First published on: Tianya Ghost Stories (Reposting should be done responsibly)

"The relationship between humans and ghosts is like that between water and ice; they are essentially the same, only their forms differ. Humans become ghosts after death, and ghosts can become humans through reincarnation. However, this rule is not absolute. Humans don't necessarily have to die to become ghosts. As long as the method is correct, living people can also become ghosts, and can even switch freely between the two forms..." The speaker was a high school senior named Jingyuan. She and three classmates practiced a strange technique together, but apart from her, the other three became insane after practicing it, as if they were possessed by evil spirits.

"Although the official start of school is in September, the college entrance examination classes have already started making up for missed classes in early August. The school also stipulates that all students in the college entrance examination classes must live in the school dormitory. To put it nicely, it is to let us concentrate on studying, but in reality, it is because the dormitory is dilapidated and old, and no one wants to live there. So they just grab everyone to fill the quota. The school has a lot of income from accommodation every year."

"The current college entrance examination system is no different from the imperial examination system in feudal society. The biggest difference may be that the top scorers in the college entrance examination will not become high-ranking officials directly, and the chances of 'winning' are slightly higher than those in the imperial examination."

"The current education system is utter nonsense. Apart from colonies, I have never heard of any region that forces its entire population to learn a foreign language. Moreover, this foreign language is only used for exams, and if you don't learn it well, you won't even have the chance to go to university. For a sovereign and independent country, this is simply a pipe dream."

After venting her frustrations, Jingyuan finally got to the point: "Xiaozhen and I study very hard, but we each have our own strengths and weaknesses. My Chinese is among the best in the whole grade, but I always fail my English exams. I really don't understand what the point of learning English is. Is it to participate in English competitions, or to become a prostitute abroad in the future? I really can't think of any other use for learning English."

"However, no matter how much I hate English, I have to face reality: English will be the biggest obstacle for me to get into my ideal university. Xiao Zhen and the others are in similar situations to me, only the subjects that bother us are different. So, we thought that if we could copy each other's strengths in the college entrance examination, we would definitely get high scores, scores that could change our lives."

"However, in reality, this is impossible. Unless we can communicate telepathically, we will definitely be caught by the proctor. You know, the college entrance examination is much stricter than the imperial examination. If catching corrupt officials was as serious as catching cheaters, then the world would be at peace."

"Knowing that English would drag down my college entrance exam score, limiting me to third-rate vocational colleges or even failing to get into any, I was very tired of studying for a while. At that time, I read extracurricular books every day, especially strange and unusual books about special abilities or folk secrets. The reason I specifically chose these books was not only out of interest, but also because I fantasized all day about learning some kind of mysterious magic from them, which would enable me to achieve my ideal results in the college entrance exam."

"Perhaps heaven rewards those who persevere, for I finally found relevant information in an old book. It was a strange book about the way of ghosts, which, in addition to some knowledge about the way of ghosts, also recorded some strange techniques of the way of ghosts. What excited me the most was that the book recorded a strange technique called 'telepathy'."

"'Telepathy' is a magical art that allows one to know another's thoughts without speaking, but it is extremely difficult to cultivate, and it takes at least twenty or thirty years to achieve results. However, I was not disappointed because the book also recorded a quick method: before cultivating 'telepathy,' one must first cultivate 'ghost body.'"

"Cultivating a 'ghost body' is to transform a living person into a half-human, half-ghost state, capable of turning into a ghost at any time and then back into a human. It's a method of switching between human and ghost states. Once you've cultivated a 'ghost body,' and then practice the basics of 'telepathy,' you can communicate with others who have also cultivated these two techniques without being detected by others. If used during the college entrance examination, it's like several people huddled together studying the exam questions."

"I told my idea to a few close classmates, Xiaozhen, Xiaoyan, and Xiaolan. They, like me, were worried about the college entrance exam, so we immediately agreed to start cultivating the 'ghost body'. When we started cultivating, it was just the beginning of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, also known as Ghost Month. Ghost Month is when the gates of hell are wide open, and countless wandering ghosts roam the human world, so the ghost energy is very strong. And what our cultivation needs most is ghost energy, so cultivating during Ghost Month can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Since we all lived in the school dormitory, we agreed to practice in the women's restroom of the teaching building at midnight. The reason we chose the women's restroom was not only because it was less likely to be discovered, but also because the women's restroom had a lot of yin energy, which could easily attract ghosts. We left the dormitory at around 1 a.m. Although we had locked the door, there was a window in the stairwell, and we could easily climb out through the broken window on the first floor."

"The campus at midnight was quiet yet terrifying, but nothing was more terrifying than failing the college entrance exam. So, we mustered our courage and went to the girls' restroom in the teaching building. As soon as we entered, we took out the incense, candles, and paper money we had prepared beforehand. We first arranged the candles in a five-pointed star formation, dripped fresh blood onto each candle, and then lit the incense and burned the paper money. When the smoke filled the entire restroom, a chilling wind suddenly blew around us, and the flickering candlelight reflected on the smoke, making it seem as if many ghostly figures were flying around us."

"I knew we had attracted a large number of ghosts, so I told everyone to start cultivating immediately. The method of cultivating the 'ghost body' is actually to inhale a large amount of ghost energy, so that your body can assimilate with the ghosts and become half-human and half-ghost. We each held four incense sticks, and no matter how dirty the ground was, we sat cross-legged on the ground, closed our eyes and adjusted our breathing rate. While inhaling the smoke, we also inhaled a large amount of ghost energy."

"At first, I don't know if it was because the smoke was choking or because we weren't used to the ghostly aura, but every time we inhaled, we felt very uncomfortable. But gradually we stopped feeling uncomfortable and even felt like we were floating on clouds."

"After practicing for four or five days, we felt changes in our bodies. Our skin became pale, our hair lost its luster, our appetite decreased significantly, we were listless and a little afraid of light during the day, but full of energy and able to walk briskly at night. We were both happy and worried about this. We were happy that our practice was making some progress, but worried that the side effects were too great."

"But we persisted in our cultivation because only by achieving a 'ghost body' could we use 'telepathy' during the college entrance examination. If we gave up, our path to university would become extremely difficult. So we continued to cultivate diligently until the early hours of this morning (the 14th day of the seventh lunar month)..."

"As usual, we started preparing as soon as we entered the women's restroom, but today seemed a little different. Before we even started burning incense, there was already a chilling wind. After lighting the incense and candles, it was as cold as turning the air conditioner to its lowest temperature. For most people, staying in this environment for even a minute would be very uncomfortable, but we were different. We not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but we actually felt quite comfortable."

"We began our cultivation as usual. With each breath, I could feel the surrounding ghostly energy becoming denser than before. The air felt as if it had been refrigerated, cool and refreshing. Just as I was greedily absorbing the ghostly energy, I suddenly heard Xiao Zhen scream, followed by screams from Xiao Yan and Xiao Lan. After that, they went crazy, running and jumping around, and talking nonsense..."

Jingyuan claimed that Xiaozhen and the other two were possessed by evil spirits due to improper cultivation, but she remained silent about why she, who cultivated alongside them, was unharmed. Guitong discovered that she was possessed by a ghost, but she repeatedly denied being possessed.

According to information provided by the school, Jingyuan began boarding in the school dormitory in her first year of high school. About three months ago, the school's security guard found her walking out of the teaching building alone during a night patrol, and the school issued her a verbal warning as a result. Her family and classmates said that her personality seemed to have changed slightly in the past three months.

I checked past records and found that the women's restroom that Jingyuan mentioned was where a girl who failed her college entrance exam committed suicide two years ago...

Based on the information I obtained, I couldn't help but suspect that Jingyuan had already begun practicing so-called ghost arts three months prior, and was thus possessed by the ghost of a girl who committed suicide two years ago. But why would this female ghost drag Xiaozhen and others into this mess? Was it merely to vent her hatred of the world? The answer is probably hard to know, because when I wanted to hand Jingyuan over to the relevant authorities for the crime of engaging in cult activities, she mysteriously disappeared from the detention center.

File Seventeen: Cat's Grudge

Author: Seeking No Desire

First published on: Tianya Ghost Stories (Reposting should be done responsibly)

“There are many annoying stray cats near my home. They meow incessantly every night, and when I’m not home during the day, they climb in and rummage through drawers and cabinets looking for food. Even if I close the windows tightly, they still manage to sneak in. Therefore, I hate them very much, and I think they are even more annoying than rats, so I abused them and killed them all…” The speaker was a young man surnamed Song. He was highly educated and worked as a pharmacist in a pharmaceutical company. Judging from his appearance alone, no one would imagine that he would torture and kill stray cats in such a perverse way. What’s even more unexpected is that he appeared before me not because his perverse behavior had aroused public outrage, but because he had developed a strange illness and, when medicine proved ineffective, he sought help from the police.

"My salary isn't as high as people imagine. To find a place that's not too far from the company and where the rent is within my budget, my current place is the only option. There's nothing wrong with my place, but the only thing I'm unhappy about is that there are a lot of stray cats nearby. These stray cats are in heat almost every night, and their cries sound like a baby crying. It's so annoying and often makes me lose sleep."

"Once, because I didn't sleep well the night before, I made a mistake at work and was scolded by my manager. When I got home from get off work, I was already in a bad mood, and when I entered the house, I found that a lot of things had been overturned on the floor, and there were noises coming from the kitchen."

"At first, I thought a thief had sneaked in, so I grabbed a broom as a weapon and slowly walked into the kitchen. Who knew that the thief hiding in the kitchen was actually a stray cat, which was rummaging around looking for food. Seeing the kitchen in such a mess, I was already in a bad mood, so I immediately got angry and picked up the broom and hit it."

"After the stray cat found me, it tried to run away, but I closed the kitchen door, so it couldn't escape. It took me a lot of effort to catch this wretched stray cat, but I was scratched in several places. Anger made me lose my rationality, and all I could think about was finding a place to lock it up, then going to the hospital to get a rabies vaccination, and dealing with it when I got back. Without thinking much, I stuffed it into the freezer compartment because at that moment, that was the only place I could lock it up."

“I went to the clinic to treat my wound and got a rabies vaccination. Just as I was about to go home, I received a call from a friend, and then I went out to eat with my friend. When I got home, it was already very late, but I was still thinking about the stray cat that I had locked in the refrigerator, so as soon as I entered the house, I immediately went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.”

"The stray cat in the refrigerator was curled up in a ball, its body as hard as ice. It was dead. I don't think it died of cold, but rather from suffocation due to lack of fresh air in the freezer. Looking at the cat's body, which was like an ice cube, I suddenly felt a sense of vengeful pleasure. It was this pleasure that gave me the idea of abusing the cat."

"To abuse a cat, you first need a cat, and there are a lot of stray cats gathering in the dark alleys near my home. That day, I bought some syringes and injection medicine at the company, and after get off work, I went to the supermarket to buy a bottle of fish sauce, some ham sausages, and a cloth bag that could hold one or two cats. After preparing everything, I went to the dark alleys near my home. The stray cats would hide as soon as they saw people, but I had a way to make them come closer to me on their own."

I crouched down and placed a sausage on the ground, then drizzled some fish sauce over it. The strong, fishy smell of the sauce drew out all the stray cats that had been hiding. It was an irresistible aroma for them; even in the face of great danger, they couldn't resist the temptation. Sure enough, two greedy stray cats couldn't resist and slowly approached me. I put on a friendly expression, placed another sausage down, and drizzled more fish sauce over it. The two stray cats quickened their pace noticeably, but they were still wary of me. Five or six steps away, they suddenly pounced, snatched the sausage covered in fish sauce, and quickly fled back to hide in the garbage heap. However, as soon as they returned to the group of cats, the other stray cats immediately pounced on them to snatch the sausage.

I continued to feign a friendly expression, placing four or five sausages on the ground and drizzling half a bottle of fish sauce over them. The greedy cats, still scrambling for them, immediately turned their attention to me. Their wariness seemed to lessen, and five or six of them approached me together. Suddenly, a gray shadow flashed behind me, and a gray cat darted out from behind me, snatching a sausage and startling me. Seeing this, the other stray cats that were approaching pounced on me, scrambling for the food.

"In the chaos, I knew my chance had come, so I suddenly reached out and grabbed the black stray cat by the scruff of its neck. The best way to deal with cats is to grab them by the scruff of their necks, so they can't resist. I put the black cat in a cloth bag and strode away, watching the other stray cats."

"After I brought the black cat home, I first stepped on it and pinned it to a small wooden board, then nailed its four legs firmly in place. The black cat's heart-wrenching screams excited me, an excitement I had never experienced before. Seeing the blood flowing from its wounds reminded me of Jesus being nailed to the cross. Although it was just a stray cat, I was able to give it the same treatment as the Holy Son."

"I hate cat eyes because in the dark, they're like will-o'-the-wisps, and the black cat was staring at me with wide eyes, which made me a little uneasy. So, I grabbed a pen and stuck it into its left eye. I only blinded its left eye; as for its right eye, I wanted to keep it so its owner could better enjoy my abuse."

"The black cat kept meowing, which worried me that it might disturb my neighbors, so I gave it a little sedative injection to let it sleep for a while. I'm not a nurse, I don't know how to give injections to people, let alone cats, but it didn't matter, since the injection I bought was for intramuscular injection, so the effect was about the same no matter where it was injected. Sure enough, after I gave it the injection, it quickly calmed down and fell asleep not long after."

"Although the black cat's sleep wouldn't disturb the neighbors, it would disturb me, preventing me from enjoying the pleasure of tormenting it. So, I poured some sulfuric acid into its mouth. The sulfuric acid instantly burned its esophagus, and the excruciating pain woke it from its slumber. But by then, its vocal cords were damaged, and it would no longer disturb my neighbors."

"Because the black cat kept struggling, a lot of blood flowed from its wound, and I had also given it a sedative injection, so I was worried it would die soon and I couldn't continue abusing it. Therefore, I injected it with two vials of adrenaline. Adrenaline is a common stimulant, usually used to resuscitate patients experiencing cardiac arrest. In healthy individuals, it causes an increased heart rate and a state of arousal for a period of time. The dose I injected into the black cat was twice that of an adult, so it immediately began to struggle even more, tearing the pinned wound wider and causing even more bleeding."

"I knew the adrenaline I injected into the black cat was far beyond its tolerance, and it would die soon, so I had to hurry up and torture it. I lit its fur on fire with a lighter and burned its body with cigarette butts. Although I was excited by its painful struggles, the fact that it could no longer make a sound made me feel a little disappointed."

"Before the black cat died too quickly, I put some water in the bucket, then poured in the whole bag of salt, and then dropped the cat in along with the small wooden board. The salt water irritated the wound, causing excruciating pain, and the black cat died painfully, caught between agony and agitation..."

"After the black cat died, I put its body together with other garbage and threw it into the trash can outside the house. When I came back, I felt like something was following me, but when I turned around I couldn't see anything."

"After I got home, I took a shower and went to bed, plotting how I would torture another cute kitten next time. In my half-awake state, I saw the black cat that I had tortured to death appear by my bedside. It was bigger than a tiger, which scared me so much that I jumped up. But it immediately pounced on me, pinned me to the ground, and scratched and bit me, even trying to bite my throat."

"I woke up with a start. Although I knew it was just a dream, it felt so real. And the places where I was injured in the dream still hurt when I woke up—not just ordinary pain, but excruciating pain. So I turned on the light and went to the mirror. The reflection in the mirror terrified me. The places where I was injured in the dream had all developed corresponding red spots..."

After that, Mr. Song dreamed every night of being attacked by a giant black cat, and upon waking, he would see corresponding red spots at the sites of his injuries in the dream, causing excruciating pain just like real wounds. He sought medical help at several hospitals, but none of the doctors could diagnose the cause, which is why he turned to us for help.
