The world is so big, the city is so big, it is not easy to find a person, where can I find a wandering ghost

Lin Yan was tossing and turning on the bed with his pillow in his arms, listening to the sound of rain outside the window while feeling drowsy. Ever since Xiao Yu left, he had been restless in sleep. He was always worried that he would not be able to hear the sound of his returning footsteps if he slept too soundly. It was easier to find him after making up his mind. Lin Yan set the alarm clock at two o'clock in the morning and decided to sleep for a while before going out.

The night is dark and ambiguous, there seems to be something invisible lurking around the corner, behind the door, just waiting for him to sleep slowly and walk to the bedside, staring at him quietly with a face without facial features, staring at him...

Lin Yan turned over and pulled the quilt over his eyes. He was already familiar with the fear of chills behind his back. At first he was afraid of Xiao Yu, then he was afraid of the little girl, the ghost of the fairy girl, and later he even The root of the fear cannot be found. What is the scariest thing is not the gangsters who rob in the alleys, not the local dogs in the countryside that bite anyone they see. The scariest thing comes from "invisibility". A cabinet with the door closed, a tombstone without a name engraved on it, a pair of eyes staring at him behind his back all the time, the invisible heart...

The scariest thing about a ghost is that it is everywhere, it knows all your contact information, makes a silent phone call at midnight, puts a paper coffin at the door, and flashes past the dark corner of the corridor, Leaving a string of gloomy laughter, driving people into a desperate situation, even insanity.

Once the ghost appears in the sunlight, the ghost is no longer a ghost, it becomes an ordinary person, eager to communicate with people, and even waiting for love. Xiao Yu is such an unlucky ghost, standing in front of Lin Yan without any disguise, letting go of everything that frightened him, becoming powerless, fragile, and careful, Lin Yan thought, he was the one who took away everything from that ghost. weapon, and then savagely drove him away.

He is unavoidably responsible for the ghost's presence and departure, and he must find him.

The night was like a cloud of mist. Lin Yan poked his head out to take a breath after staying under the quilt for a long time. Through the dark night, he suddenly saw something hanging on the closet door. It was black or red. These two colors appeared in the dark. I can't tell, it seems to be a piece of clothing, a small piece of clothing.

The shabby cotton-padded jacket and trousers, with arms and legs stretched apart, looked like a pricked paper man, but the bottom of the trousers and the top of the neckline were hidden in the darkness, without hands, feet, and head.

What is this

A flash of lightning flashed across the night sky, and the room lit up instantly. Lin Yan felt chills on his back. What was hanging on the closet were the little girl's clothes. After disappearing for many days, he suddenly reappeared when he decided to look for Xiao Yu. The minutes and seconds are not bad.

The rest also appeared, a pair of feet, white and bluish, hanging down, the toes were very dark, and seemed to have rotted and turned black. Looking up, there was a section of neck above the collar of the ragged cotton jacket, lying horizontally. With deep purple constrictions, the little girl's head limply tilted to one side, her eyes protruding, and her red tongue sticking out. A thick hemp rope hung her neck, and her small body dangled in the air.

The little girl was holding a headless rag doll in her hand, her eyes suddenly opened, her dark eyes stared straight at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan looked at her in the dark.

I'm not afraid of you, Lin Yan clenched his fists, ghosts use the fear in people's hearts, stay away from upside-down dreams, you can stay away from terror and hallucinations, if Xiao Yu is not around, he can only rely on himself.

There was no further movement, the little girl's body swayed like a hanging rice bag, and the doll in her hand also dangled with its two long legs.

What's wrong, what's wrong? Adapting to the sudden situation, Lin Yan became very conscious. He slowly fumbled for the lamp switch on the bedside table. With a snap, the light turned on, and the whole room was filled with light. The wardrobe door was empty. little girl.

She seemed to come here on purpose to tell herself the cause of her death... Hanged ghost, Lin Yan gasped, he suddenly thought of something, something that had been neglected for a long time behind the fear and hallucinations.

Only by understanding what the power lurking in the darkness wants to do, can he have countermeasures.

A thunderstorm fell, and the phone rang like a reminder. At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Lin Yan changed his clothes, turned off the lights and went out.

For four consecutive days, Lin Yan drove around the city every day. The boundless rain, passers-by walking alone, orange street lights and raindrops flying under the lights made him even feel like he had become a ghost with no purpose. , no direction, the only spiritual motivation is to find Xiao Yu, even though he doesn't know whether Xiao Yu is still here.

He had a lot of things he wanted to tell him, he wanted to know if Xiao Yu was safe, he had made such a big determination to admit his intentions, but the ghost left without looking back, without leaving a trace or clue, Lin Yan She even suspected that Xiao Yu deliberately avoided him, hid his whereabouts, and gradually walked away through the darkness.

where will he be Lin Yan steered the steering wheel. In four days, he searched all the places the two of them had been to together, the elevated highway, Shenjiayuan, the hospital, the cemetery, every corner of the house, and even went to the small temple in Xishan, but he couldn't be found. shadow. Lin Yan parked the car on the side of the road, and pedestrians swam past the car window like a school of fish. No one stopped and knocked on his car window. He slammed his fist hard on the steering wheel. Lin Yan gritted his teeth and said, as long as you Still in Yangjian, no matter how long, no matter how far away, I will find you.

He even booked a ticket to Shanxi. After three days, if he still can't find Xiao Yu, he will go back to the ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty, and walk into the void again just like he brought Xiao Yu out of the darkness. Waiting for the return of that ghost.

The rain started to fall again, the wind blew the street trees, the traffic lights came on and off, the neon lights of the whole city were moldy and rotted in the rain, the night was endless, the Apple sign in Wudaokou was shining white, he was here After embracing a ghost, Lin Yan pulled out the car keys and walked aimlessly in the rain, bustling and devastated, unable to find a home or a lover who had run away.

How far does a person have to go before he can see his own heart clearly? Squeezing a can of Coke, Lin Yan walked through every street, every overpass, every underpass with orange lights, every singing girl and homeless boy, the intricate roads were like a net, thousands of weaving Wan Fang, there is only one broken thread left, and the only direction is to run in the opposite direction.

The railings of the flyover were covered with cold water droplets, the taillights of cars flashed across like shooting stars, the wind whistled across the forehead, and a voice in my heart shouted, Xiao Yu, where are you, come back with me.

It rained harder and harder.

The old man said that the person who really cares about you will never leave. Whenever you turn your head, he will always be behind you. Lin Yan looked back while walking, but behind him was only the gradually closing void.

What if Xiao Yu didn't care about himself as much as he thought? Just like what the little Taoist said, he only needs a person with a matching fate. How many people were born at the same time on the same day in the same year? Check them out one by one. If he is standing behind another Lin Yan, how should he deal with himself

With nothing to do, Xiao Yu was different to him.

For the first time, the fear of loss surpassed death. Lin Yan kicked the Coke can away and scratched his hair irritably.

The wet road reflected the broken neon lights, an old woman walked past Lin Yan, her movements were extremely slow, she seemed to be suffering from arthritis or rheumatism, and she went straight across the road. There was fog around at some point, illuminated by street lamps, the old woman's figure was as thin as a piece of paper, and when she walked to the middle of the road, an old-fashioned cloth wallet slipped out of her pocket and fell to the ground with a thud. But did not see the same continue to move forward.

Lin Yan was the only pedestrian around. He wanted to pick up the wallet and return it. When he was two meters away from the wallet, he suddenly felt that the figure of the old woman looked familiar. He stood there for a moment and hesitated. It rushed out from nowhere, probably a street child, grabbing the wallet with dirty hands and about to run.

At the same time, exactly, a black car turned the intersection at a speed of more than 180 kilometers and galloped towards the little boy. With a muffled bang, the boy flew out like a potato in the air. After tumbling for a while, it landed in the middle of the road more than ten meters away, and did not move. Another car couldn't dodge in time, and ran over the boy. In just a second, a living child turned into a pool of bright red meatloaf, with white bones protruding from the meat, as if they were not cleaned. Fishbone.

Lin Yan staggered back two steps, the old woman turned her head from the thick fog and smiled at him.

Second Fairy.

The nightmare was far from over, they all came back when they heard that he was looking for Xiao Yu.

"Squeak—" The two cars stopped at the same time, the driver and passengers stumbled out of the car, women's screams were heard on the empty road, someone was vomiting, someone was calling the police, the driver ran towards Lin Yan, He said incoherently: "You have seen it all, you can testify for me, it is a kid who suddenly ran into the middle of the road, it has nothing to do with me!"

His eyes shifted to the pile of rotten meat on the road, one arm was poked, and what was held in the blood-stained hand was not a wallet at all, but a piece of tattered cloth, a tattered cloth with white flowers on a blue background.

Why did Second Fairy hate him so much? What does the little girl holding the puppet want to do? Warn, intimidate, or just finish him off

A group of reporters and traffic policemen had already gathered in the middle of the road. The police lights were blinking non-stop. Lin Yan ran back into the car quickly. He just wanted to leave this place quickly. He didn't even want to go home. There were ambushes in every solitary space. Yinhun, he wants to hear the voice of people, he wants to return to the crowd, he wants Xiao Yu to appear suddenly more than ever, the raindrops hit the windshield, being swept away by the wipers like a small fountain, Xiao Yu didn't come, he left him behind A person faces an unknown curse to kill.

Lin Yan felt wronged and uncomfortable.

He stopped at the entrance of a movie theater, the hall was brightly lit, lovers lined up arm in arm to buy popcorn, the air was filled with the delicious smell of butter, Lin Yan rested on the soft chair in the hall for a while, feeling nauseated and After suppressing the panic, I bought a ticket at the window, planning to get popular in the theater before going out to continue looking.

There were not many people in the auditorium. After being seated, Lin Yan looked back and saw that the row behind was almost empty, but the row in the same row was almost full. A couple next to each other cuddled, and the girl threw popcorn into her mouth one by one. , the soothing music before the opening of the film makes people relax.

The advertisement ended and the movie started. Lin Yan glanced down at the name on the ticket stub. He hadn’t heard of it. He hadn’t paid attention to the new movie for a long time. It seemed to be a rural movie, with the style of old brown-yellow photos, and he deliberately used noise in the memory part. Adds to the vibe.

A group of people passed by on the screen, everyone was expressionless, the sky was overcast, gray and white confetti scattered freely, Lin Yan frowned, what is this acting? Why is it like a funeral

The camera pans to two children in the queue, a boy and a girl, one in green and the other in red, like a pair of paper figurines burned to the dead, with their arms upright, their faces extremely pale, but their cheeks glowing red, their eyes Walks aimlessly across the screen. Behind them are adults, wearing bright red and purple robes, black cloth shoes, with their heads tilted, the corners of their mouths grinning upwards, and they look like they're not smiling.

There are no lines, no background music, just a group of people in kimonos walking quietly, the eerie atmosphere makes one creepy, the camera pans backwards, and when the people at the end of the line show their faces, Lin Yan shivered. , he was wearing a yellow robe that looked like paper, holding a paper streamer in his hand, and the wind blew loudly, he was the owner of the temple!

No one raised any objections to the content of the movie, and the couple next to them watched it with gusto.

"Lin Yan."

A voice came from behind, it seemed to be far away, and it seemed to be close to his ears, Lin Yan's scalp went numb, the voice was too familiar.

"Lin Yan, come out."

That's right, it was Xiao Yu's voice.

Where is he? Lin Yan turned his head abruptly. The auditorium was pitch-black, and he could only see the two rows of seats in the back. There were a few people sitting sparsely. His eyes swept over him. He was not depressed, but a little boy with messy hair looked familiar. Staring at him with a grin.

Lin Yan wanted to go around to look for it, but there were people on both sides, so it was undoubtedly too slow. He was afraid that Xiao Yu would leave, so he stepped on the back of the chair and rolled backwards in anxiety. Lian stepped over two rows of chairs and ran towards the darkness behind the theater. On the last row of seats near the door, a white figure moved, stood up and walked towards the door.

Lin Yan wanted to yell anxiously, but he was embarrassed in public. He had just turned over the third row of chairs when there was a crisp sound of wood snapping behind him. The metal beams, together with the huge glass ceiling lamps, were smashed down, and they hit the row where he was sitting impartially just now!

The screen went black, the glass shattered into pieces, and except for the humming echo of the broken beam, the entire auditorium was silent. Lin Yan's eyes widened in horror. He suddenly discovered a terrible fact. All the audience just now had disappeared. There was no one in this room, and it was pitch black. He was standing alone among the rows of chairs, helpless.

"Xiao Yu!" He yelled at the white figure at the door, "Don't go."

He rushed out of the seat like crazy, the shadow seemed to hesitate for a moment, flashed out of the door and disappeared, Lin Yan stumbled and followed out, through the dark corridor, there was no light, even the small green light for the emergency exit was off , when he rushed into the ticket hall, he suddenly froze.

Not only was there no one in the screening hall just now, but the whole hall was dead silent, several metal shutter doors were closed, the large LED screen with the movie time written on it was completely dark, and the popcorn glass cabinet was empty, as if it had never been in business at all.

He obviously bought a ticket to enter the arena, and the lights were brightly lit just now, where are the people in line

What about Xiao Yu

"Who!" A white light from a flashlight shone at him, blinding his eyes, and a man's voice suddenly sounded: "Who's there?"

Lin Yan blocked the light with his hand, the man approached and removed the flashlight, only then did Lin Yan see that the person who came was a security guard in uniform, he seemed startled too, and looked him up and down in surprise.

"Want to steal something?!"

"I'm here to watch a movie." Lin Yan anxiously searched for the white shadow in the darkness.

"Don't be kidding, we are renovating here, and we have been closed for a week. What kind of movie are you watching!"

Lin Yan's face turned pale all of a sudden.

No matter what Lin Yan explained, the security guards decided that he was a thief, and they didn't let him go until Lin Yan counted out five hundred dollars from his wallet and patted it in his hand. Lin Yan came out of the movie theater and looked back, the whole building was pitch black, The billboard was covered by a large piece of white cloth, and the scaffolding hadn't been dismantled. The theater he entered just now was actually a closed theater!

The movie he saw, the audience, the popcorn, what was it

Lin Yan suddenly realized that the little boy with messy hair sitting in the back row in the auditorium was none other than the homeless boy who died in the road accident just now! He was pulled by a force into a movie theater operating in the underworld, and watched a funeral ceremony for the dead, and the real purpose of that force was probably the heavy beam that suddenly broke. If Xiao Yu hadn't called him, he would have been A member of the dead.

Where did Xiao Yu go? Lin Yan stood in a panic at the entrance of the cinema and looked around. Ahead was the brightly lit main road, and there was no way to hide people. A snack street next to the cinema was pitch black. A corner of white clothes flashed by. Running on the wet tiles, the wind was blowing in his ears, he was panting like a bellows, but his back refused to stop, and when he came to the fork in the road again, the white shadow turned around, the familiar side face and the slightly frowning The expression on his head made Lin Yan almost tremble all over.
