Ling wiped the last plate and put it back in the cupboard.
It's almost eight o'clock in the evening. She usually chooses to lie comfortably on the sofa at this time, plug in her headphones and listen to music.
After closing the door of the cupboard, the corner of her eyes glanced slightly at the clock hanging on the kitchen wall.
The time displayed at this time is seven fifty-five.
That clock reminded her...
Work experience in Nuosolan company.
Ling was working as an accountant for Nuosolan Company three years ago. The company has a very strange system. You have to wear a watch whose pointer speed is much faster than ordinary clocks. As long as you are in the company, you can’t take it off at any time. If you are found to take it off, you will be fired immediately. No leeway will be given.
In the past, she accidentally dropped the watch on the ground because the watch strap was loose. After being discovered by the department supervisor, she was fired immediately. At that time, she didn't understand very much, it was not her fault!
Later, I moved to G city.
Recently, she couldn't understand why the Nuosolan Company suddenly disappeared without a trace. It made her very uneasy all the time.
She had heard rumors in the past that the company's building was rebuilt from a building with haunted legends. At first, I thought it was something made up by the seniors to scare the newcomers, but now that I think about it, it still feels quite scary.
Ling walked back to the living room and lay on the sofa. Just as she was about to insert the MP3 earphones placed on the coffee table into her ears, she heard the sound of glass breaking in her bedroom!
This suddenly shocked her heart: Could it be that a thief came in
Thinking of this, she couldn't help getting goosebumps all over her body, she immediately picked up a chair, and walked towards the bedroom tremblingly.
When she came to the bedroom door, she took a deep breath and slowly turned the doorknob.
The wind rushed towards the face immediately, and the glass of the east-facing window was shattered all over the place, and the shattered area was quite large. However, no one was in the bedroom.
Ling breathed a sigh of relief, thinking maybe it was because of the strong wind...
Putting down the chair, she went to fetch the broom and dustpan, and when she was about to clean up under the window sill, she was about to squat down when a hand suddenly appeared on the window sill!
At this moment, Ling's heart trembled violently, Ling felt her throat was blocked, and her whole body was surrounded by coolness!
She backed up several steps in a row, and it took her a long while to react, and shouted, "Who... who is it!"
But, before they could answer, another hand appeared on the windowsill!
Ling's body fell to the ground, and her legs were almost numb. A wisp of dark matter began to emerge.
That's... hair!
A head completely covered by thick hair, just like that... protruding through the shattered glass window!
Just when the hand on the window sill was about to continue reaching into the room, the clock on the bedroom wall suddenly changed strangely.
At this moment, the time is eight o'clock.
And suddenly, the pointer started to spin counterclockwise. Moreover, it rotated counterclockwise rapidly, and soon the time returned to 7:55.
At this time, Ling had just closed the cupboard door.
Time... turned against the tide.
At this moment, Ling raised her head and noticed the clock on the kitchen wall.
After daydreaming for a while, she came to the living room, picked up the MP3 and started to listen.
It was past eight o'clock.
Nothing happened.
Ling was still listening to the music leisurely.
However, for some reason, she always felt a tightness in her chest. Although the melodious and beautiful melody echoed in her ears, she always felt that...
It was like the vibrato of hell!
She had never been so distraught.
Pulling off the earphones, she turned on the TV again.
At this time, what was being reported in the news was the tragedy of seven college girls committing suicide.
Seeing such news, Ling couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable. Anxiety is also getting more and more prosperous.
"what's wrong with me?"
Ling thinks that she has always been a very cheerful person, and she never thinks wildly for no reason. But she always felt that there was something terrifying spreading in this room.
She and her husband have only been married for three months, and they have just moved into the twelfth floor of this high-end apartment. Although she was not very used to the new environment at first, she thought she was very adaptable.
But now this new house that was supposed to belong to herself and her husband made her feel like some beast's lair, even if she just sat here, she might encounter danger at any time.
Finally, unable to bear this almost suffocating feeling any longer, she picked up the phone and dialed her husband's cell phone number.
"Hey, husband? Can you come back as soon as possible? I am always a little scared when I am alone at home. Yes, please... Please come back quickly. Think about it, we are just newly married, you always say you want Working overtime, isn't that neglecting me?"
Ling simply used the trick of acting like a baby, and now she only eagerly hopes that her husband will come back sooner.
"I'm sorry Ling, as you know, I'm the manager of the company. It's the New Year's Eve review, so meetings and conferences are unavoidable. Don't worry, it's almost New Years anyway. I'll make up for you when the time comes."
After her husband said that, how could Ling answer? He just nodded resentfully.
Putting down the phone, the feeling of uneasiness began to surface again.
Moreover, she clearly felt that the source of that anxiety...
It's in the bedroom!
Ling herself also felt that it was absurd, but this kind of thinking just couldn't get rid of it.
Finally, finally decided to go to the bedroom to have a look.
After opening the door, the first thing she did was to turn on the light.
The whole bedroom immediately became bright.
The room is normal.
Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little self-mockery: "What's wrong with me... Isn't it because my husband came back a bit late? He's so suspicious."
She went back to the living room to listen to music again. At this time, she gradually felt calmed down and fell asleep unconsciously.
When I woke up, my husband had already gone home. She was also covered with a quilt. Now, it's past ten o'clock.
"You," the smiling husband poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, "You fell asleep by yourself? I'm sorry, my wife. I'm sorry that you are left alone in the empty room after the wedding. I will strive for an early date." Finish the company's work, and then you can find a way to ask for leave."
"Okay, I don't blame you." Ling felt much relieved when she saw her husband come back.
"But...you have to make it up to me." Ling closed her eyes and leaned closer to her husband's face. The husband understood and kissed her lips.
Ling's husband is named Feng, who is the general manager of an import and export trading company. After getting married, Ling works as a full-time wife at home, but she is also an online novelist, writing about suspenseful themes.
"By the way... You won't be thinking about it anymore, right?" Feng suddenly asked, "You won't be fantasizing about the existence of that company anymore, right?"
"Nosolan Company?"
"Yeah, don't think about that anymore. Anyway, it's the past. What matters is the future."
Feng's words reassured Ling a lot.
She thought: That's right, no matter whether the disappearance of Nuosolan Company is a supernatural phenomenon or not, it has nothing to do with herself...
In the middle of the night, Ah Jing was still in the study, flipping through a lot of yellowed books.
Many of these books were bought by her in the antique market. After spending a lot of effort, I finally found some records related to ghost eyes.
Run An was always by her side, looking for information with her.
"found it… "
Ah Jing held a volume, pointed to a story in it, and said, "Look, this is a story about gods, monsters and strange tales, and purple pupil was mentioned. It's all in classical Chinese, but I can roughly understand it." It's a pity that the records are still not very detailed. However, the date has been determined, and it was during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period."
"Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?" Run An remembered that after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, China fell into a long period of great division and separatism. Many local regimes had emerged successively, such as the Later Tang Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty. Did the records about ghost eyes start so long ago
Ah Jing wanted to find out the reason why the ghost eyes disappeared.
After John's death, no one has the ability to fight ghosts anymore. Now they are all ordinary people.
Ah Jing remembered that in a dream, she saw her father being pulled behind a door by a group of deformed babies with purple pupils. Although she doesn't know what that door means, Ah Jing can be sure that those babies and that door are all related to ghost eyes and the mutant physique she had in the past.
She didn't think the ghost eyes would disappear for no reason.
Why all of a sudden, everyone's supernatural physique disappeared? If the ghost eye is also regarded as a link in this chain of curses, then what is the significance of the existence of the ghost eye
This curse will never create superfluous things. What exists means it is necessary.
Obviously, since the purpose of the curse is to kill humans, imbuing them with hopelessness and terror from which they cannot escape, there is no reason to give them the ability to use ghost powers, which is obviously very contradictory.
The day the ghost eye disappeared happened to be the time when everyone died in the Forgotten Curse incident. She didn't know if there was a connection between the two, but it was definitely that day, and something happened.
Eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, but Ah Jing still wants to keep reading, but Run An persuades: "Forget it, you go to sleep first. I will read the rest. I still have a lot of knowledge of classical Chinese, you Don't forget I'm a writer."
Looking at Run An's caring eyes, Ah Jing couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, and she was too tired, so she nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll go to sleep first."
Ah Jing came to the door of the study, and as soon as she opened the door, she bumped into Run Li.
"Ah... Ah Jing?"
"Ah, I'm going to rest." Ah Jing asked suspiciously, "Aren't you going to sleep? It's almost twelve o'clock."
"I can't sleep... so I just want to accompany you to find information."
Runli's eyes looked a little red.
Ah Jing knew that she must have something and wanted to confide in her brother, so she stopped disturbing the siblings, walked out of the study, and gently closed the door.
Run An also noticed that Run Li's complexion was not very good.
"Runli...you..."
"Brother," Runli came to the desk urgently, and said, "Is there anything I can do? No matter what, I hope to restore the ability of ghost eyes. Now it's like this..."
Run Li didn't know that she and herself were the cursed, so Run An could already see who she was worried about.
"Is it Tie Mujing? Right? You want to save him?"
Run Li was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered her head, as a tacit consent.
Run An sighed, and said, "Run Li, I've noticed it a long time ago... Ever since you were told by him to come out of that different-dimensional apartment, you have often been in a daze. Shine brightly. But isn't he with Jian Weijing now? You know, his real love is Gongsun Yuanji, and Jian Weijing is... "
"I know!"
Runli's tears burst again, and she would no longer hide her emotions in front of Runan.
"I know... Since he and Miss Jane really love each other, I would like to bless them too, so I want to lift the curse on them. This is also a kind of happiness for me..."
Seeing his sister's sad expression, Run An felt very sad. But the most urgent thing is to consider how to lift the curse and restore the ability of ghost eyes. These love affairs are really not worth mentioning.
The ghost eye ability must be recovered... must!
