The two rushed out of the apartment almost as if fleeing for their lives. They even forgot to return the keys to the landlord, and drove away quickly. On the way, Xia Peng still had lingering fears and said: "I... I finally understand why the superior attaches so much importance to this case... It turns out, it turns out..."
"Don't, don't say... we, we didn't see anything, we'll be fine..."
Along the way, Xia Peng kept stepping on the accelerator, and looked at the rear-view mirror vigilantly at all times. He didn't dare to slow down until he was at least three kilometers away from the apartment.
At the same time, Run An had a premonition that Xia Peng would die in the future. He immediately called Runli who was in the newspaper office and asked, "Runli, I already have a feeling that there will be a third victim... What about you? When does the premonition happen?"
"What? Brother, you already have a premonition? I... I haven't..."
When he fled back to the police station, Xia Peng was already covered in cold sweat. As soon as he stepped into the office, his colleagues looked at his blank face and asked with concern: "Xia Peng, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Peng shook his head and waved his hands. Looking back now, he received a call for reinforcements from the sub-bureau that day, and rushed to the apartment where Xie Xiaohao died with a group of colleagues. At that time, it was a big truck that drove the body. An order was also issued to strictly seal the clues related to this case, and they were sent here only to maintain order and prevent anyone from seeing the corpse.
He told Ou Xueyan that he had never seen a corpse, of course he lied to her. To be honest, after being a policeman for so many years, he could never have imagined that there would be such a terrifying corpse... Now, he saw it again in that apartment... No, he didn't want to Get involved with the case again!
"what do you mean?"
The director looked at the transfer application form on the table, and frowned. This time, the superior had issued an order to solve the case within a month. Now he was only thinking about how to increase the manpower and work overtime all night. Unexpectedly, at this time, someone proposed to transfer the group. What a joke! Two words: no! He was about to speak out, but Xia Peng replied, "If the director disagrees, then I would rather go back to the original anti-pickup team than stay in the serious crime team."
"You, you... you want to piss me off, don't you? I promoted you from the anti-pickup team because of your talent, and this is how you repay me now? Do you know how much pressure the superiors put on us? ? In the past few days, I have blocked many inquiries from reporters! You... well, you go, don't come back after you leave!"
Xia Peng knew that he was ashamed of the director, but when he recalled the strange eyes in his suit, his guilt was swallowed up by fear in an instant. He still feels very clear about those eyes until now... That is definitely not his illusion!
When tidying up the things on my desk, the colleagues around me wondered, why did he go back to the anti-pickling team? Didn't you have a good time in the major crimes unit
"Xia Peng, is there any difficulty?" An old police officer asked with concern: "Did you argue with the chief? Or do you feel that the work here is too dangerous?"
"No... no, how should I put it... I don't want to investigate the case of Xie's family anymore, you... you better be careful. That place is not what people should go to. "
This sentence was very strange, but no matter how his colleagues asked him, he refused to ask any more questions. He piled up his things and put them in a cardboard box, and walked out of the office.
Alas... I'm going back again...
Walk along the long corridor to the elevator door, press the button and wait in place. The elevator door was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting Xia Peng's face. At this moment, he raised his head and stared at the rising floors, and then lowered his head to look at the box in his hand. The moment he raised his head again, he actually saw...
On the left side of his body reflected by the elevator door, there is a gleaming white shadow! The shadow's hand was slowly stretching towards his neck!
"Ah—" He immediately dropped the cardboard box, took out the gun in his hand and aimed it at the left, but... there was only a wall, and there was half a person there. Looking at the elevator door again, the white shadow has disappeared.
Ou Xueyan simply asked for leave in the afternoon and returned to the apartment where she and Xia Peng lived together.
After opening the door, she immediately locked two locks, then locked the windows, and even drew the curtains, but felt that it was too dark, so she turned on all the lights in the room. Then, she felt tired herself, so she simply lay down on the bed and went to sleep. However, after about half an hour, my mind was still clear. And the room was surprisingly quiet, the only sound was the regular movement of the hands of the clock.
At this moment, it seemed that a gust of wind was blowing, and the door of the bedroom was slammed shut. She immediately jumped up in fright, and almost at the same time, the fluorescent lamp she had turned on flickered on and off, and then went out completely.
"What, what's the matter? Power outage?"
She didn't know what was going on, so she decided to go out and check the fuse, but when she got to the door of the bedroom, she found that the door couldn't be opened at all. How is this going? The bedroom door was not locked!
In short, the dim environment of this room made her extremely uneasy, and she always felt a layer of weirdness. She licked her lips and moved her steps carefully, trying to open the curtains. A wooden box was stacked below the window, containing winter clothes.
When Ou Xueyan was only two or three steps away from the box, the box suddenly shook!
"Wow!" Ou Xueyan slid to the ground and quickly crawled backwards.
Yes... it's that thing! It came back with itself!
The box shook more and more frequently, knocking on the floor constantly, and... started to move towards the snow geese!
"No...don't!" She grabbed a chair and ran to the bedroom door to knock on it. And the speed at which the box was being dragged on the ground became faster and faster, and it was only a few steps away from Ou Xueyan.
"Go! Don't, don't follow me... Please go!"
Ou Xueyan almost collapsed on the ground, and at this moment, the lid of the box was opened, and Ou Xueyan also passed out almost at the same time.
"Snow goose! Snow goose! What's wrong with you?"
This is Xia Peng's voice.
"Xia... Peng, I, we can't continue to live here, that thing, that thing is following us! It won't let us go! I, I shouldn't listen to you..."
She was lying on the bed at the moment, and Xia Peng was comforting her with a worried expression on his face. Seeing Xueyan's frightened expression, his heart tightened, and he asked, "Could it be...you...you too..."
And at this moment, the sudden sound of the doorbell made the two of them almost scream, and now their hearts were so fragile that they couldn't bear a single blow. Xia Peng made up his mind and ran to the peephole in front of the door to take a look. There was a young man and a woman standing outside the door. They didn't know each other at all. He opened the first door first, and there was an iron gate outside, and asked, "Who are you two?"
"Excuse me, Officer Xia." The man said politely: "It is true that we came here very abruptly, but it is really urgent. Are you the police officer investigating Xie Xiaohao's death? We have something that we must tell you. "
"Who are you… "
"I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Yi Runan, and this is my... friend Miss Ren Jing."
When Xia Peng heard about Xie Xiaohao, he immediately frowned, wondering if he should let them in, but at this moment the woman named Ren Jing said a word.
"I'm in your room... I can feel the presence of 'that thing'. Haven't you encountered any strange things recently?"
If Xia Peng said that normally, Xia Peng might be angry, but when he heard this, he seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw. He immediately opened the door and said, "Second, please come in. In fact, I am indeed..."
"I see."
After listening to Xia Peng and Ou Xueyan's description, Run An and Ren Jing understood that these two people would probably follow in the footsteps of Xie Xiaohao and Zhang Jun.
Runli hadn't had a premonition yet, so she didn't know when Xia Peng would die.
That's what Ren Jing told Run An.
"The key to unlocking the curse is to completely break the prophecy. For example, if a person who will die at 0 o'clock can be allowed to live until 1 o'clock, or if he can survive in the end, then he can be unlocked." Curse, your premonition that you and your sister will die in the past will not appear in reality. During the three years of searching for your brother and sister, because my prediction was incomplete, I never had the opportunity to try it myself."
"Can it... be so smooth?"
"I don't know... But, it is indeed the only way."
Xia Peng and Ou Xueyan were both gloomy at the moment, looking at the two people at a loss. After a long while, Xia Peng seemed to remember something, and asked: "You two...excuse me, the so-called matter related to Xie Xiaohao refers to..."
Run An was still thinking about how to organize his words, but Ren Jing had already said straight to the point: "Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"
When the two of them heard this, their hearts skipped a beat, and Ou Xueyan was the first to speak: "You... have also bumped into that thing before?"
"I have seen ghosts before." Ren Jing said without hesitation: "It took my mother's life right in front of me. I didn't scare you, whether you believe it or not... ghosts do exist in this world."
Run darkly glared at Ren Jing, why did she speak so bluntly, so she said in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry... Actually, what I want to say is that you are very dangerous right now."
"Then...then is there any way to save us?" Xia Peng didn't know whether these two people were deceitful sticks or really capable, but he was really scared. A policeman, naturally there is no reason to be afraid, but now the other party simply... I don't know what it is!
Speaking of this, Run An was also stunned, how to save them? He himself is also a mortal with flesh and blood, so it is impossible for him to fight against the unknown ghost. So, he also turned to Ren Jing, staring at her questioningly. I didn't expect her answer to surprise me... No, it should be said that it was also expected.
"Escape. This is the only way."
When Ren Jing said this, her expression was very natural, as if it was a matter of course. Xia Peng suddenly felt angry and funny, and said, "You... aren't you talking nonsense?"
"At least for now, you can only escape. You basically have no supernatural powers, and I am not born with a supernatural physique."
Supernatural ability? Supernatural physique? what is that? Run An felt that this woman must know more secrets.
"Supernatural ability? What do you mean?" Ou Xueyan asked puzzled.
"Actually, I don't really understand. This is what my father recorded in his notes. He said that I need to think about and understand it myself. But generally speaking, it is an ability that can restrain ghosts to a certain extent. However, it is only On the contrary. My father has not been able to find a way to kill ghosts completely. Listen carefully, if you want to live, try not to stay in a closed space. If you encounter a ghost and want to escape, never drive. It should make you Die quickly. Never go to dark places, try to stay in public places.”
"Stay in a public place... won't you die?"
"I can't promise this, but at least the chances will be much lower. The most important thing... Always remember to stay away from two things as far away as possible. That is... mirrors and elevators."
"Yes... I am today..." Xia Peng immediately told Run An and Ren Jing what happened to him today, feeling somewhat relieved. However, it sounds like there is only passive avoidance at the moment and no direct confrontation
"Excuse me, I'm going to... go to the toilet... you continue to talk." Ou Xueyan got up and left the bedroom, who knew that Ren Jing stood up and said: "Do you want me to go with you? You are in danger right now, it's best not to stay alone. "
"No... don't you need it? Next to the bedroom is the toilet. You can come here as soon as I call for something."
Ren Jing thought about it, so she nodded. Ou Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: Is it real or fake? Although today's experience is indeed very weird, but... calm down and think about it, are there really ghosts in this world? Could it be that these two people are some kind of charlatans, and today's experience is their fault? Could it be some kind of magic or something
When Ou Xueyan walked into the toilet, she found that the shower curtain was drawn in front of the bathtub.
The shower curtain was pure white, and she just bought it a few days ago. It was normal to pull the shower curtain in front of the bathtub, but... She remembered that when she came home today, the shower curtain was not drawn! Of course, Xia Peng may have pulled it on, but at that time he passed out on the ground, how could he have the heart to take a bath.
Occasionally, she seemed to sense something... behind the shower curtain. Originally, she could let Xia Peng and Run An come in as long as she yelled, but this inexplicable feeling was totally unreasonable.
For a moment, she also forgot the purpose of entering the toilet, and her steps moved towards the shower curtain involuntarily.
Stay away from two things...mirrors and elevators.
And she was passing by the mirror installed in the toilet.
Slowly walking to the shower curtain, she swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and slowly pulled her hand to a corner of the shower curtain, and then said to herself: But, I hope, I hope it's because I think too much...
Her hands were trembling uncontrollably, she finally managed to stabilize her mood, and then pulled the shower curtain completely open!
Sure enough, there was nothing, I was scaring myself.
She laughed secretly at her nervousness, and was about to close the shower curtain, but who knew, the corner of her eyes glanced at the mirror next to her, and her whole body froze immediately.
In the mirror, there are no ghosts or ghosts reflected, it looks normal. but... but...
The shower curtain in the mirror is still closed! And in front of Xueyan, she had already opened the shower curtain!
She wanted to shout, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't make any sound. Immediately afterwards, even more terrifying changes appeared in the mirror! From the drawn shower curtain, a silhouette of a figure began to appear! It was obvious that something was pressing on the shower curtain! Then, in the mirror, that thing grabbed Xueyan's hand!
"Don't—"
Run An and others immediately rushed into the toilet, only to see Xueyan curled up in the corner of the toilet crying bitterly, pointing straight at the mirror. But in the mirror at this moment, there is no abnormality.
"In the mirror... there is something in the mirror..." She hugged Xia Peng and cried, "I... I believe your words! We are moving! We can escape to any place, please save us!"
Ren Jing came to the mirror and looked at it carefully, then turned around and said: "Understood... In fact, what I just said was not complete enough. In addition to escaping, there are other ways... We can try to investigate, Xie Xiaohao, Zhang Jun That's right, what did they go through before they died, and... what do the two of them have in common!"
