(one)
Beijing has entered the early summer in May, and under the siege and interception of the urban management brigade, there are still a few barbecue stalls surviving. The gluttons who had been holding back the winter and spring seasons were moved by the cool night breeze. One by one, they put on vests and shorts, and called their friends to gather at the barbecue stall.
Lin Yan had arrived long ago, and with him were a few young police officers who had just entered the public security system.
I don't know if it's because of his special constitution or his meddling. Since Xiao Yu's incident, whether it's business or private, he can't stop dealing with the police station. The police are familiar with each other. Due to the nature of their work, most of these people got married late and had children late. A group of bachelors met to meet up, drink a little wine and have a little fun.
After drinking for three rounds, Xiao Yu also rushed over.
He didn't want to join in this kind of lively scene, but since he finished his driver's license test, he was forced to be Lin Yan's drunken surrogate driver.
The people who came that day were all acquaintances, only one whom they met for the first time, who had just been transferred back to Beijing from Heilongjiang, was the oldest, named Xu Qian.
The forensic doctor belongs to the Fifth Brigade in the local public security system, known as the Corpse Brigade. It is the scariest and most interesting place to hear from outsiders. When the imperial capital is big, there are many things. In their words, a few are cut up every day.
There are headless corpses that have been rotting in the countryside for several days; some are divided into several pieces and thrown in the trash cans in different places, and they cannot be put together; there are also tavern owners who have an affair with the waiter's garage, and live with carbon monoxide in the car with the air conditioner on Poisoned, in short, in such a huge city, all kinds of bloody and bizarre things can happen.
Xu Qian stayed in the border county for more than ten years, and was finally transferred back to his hometown. He was very excited, chatting, and it was past midnight.
There are fewer and fewer people around.
The night wind in May was still cool, Lin Yan's arms were blown by the cold wind, and goose bumps appeared on Lin Yan's arms.
Xu Qian went on and on: "Let me tell you, when I went out to work on the first day of my internship, I ran into a guy who was so swollen that he poked and sprayed his face with corpse water. I took the camera and threw up halfway through the photo. "He has the appearance of a senior doctor, with an aquiline nose and slightly sunken eye sockets. Those cases were told by him in a serious manner, which is extremely credible. Among the people eating is Xiao Zhou, a logistics intern, who held up chicken wings and asked for it several times. I was so disgusted that I couldn't open my mouth.
"Brother Qian, let's not talk about this, it's okay, it's in the middle of the night, so you can do whatever you want."
Everyone roared with laughter, Xu Qian adjusted his glasses frame: "You are quite superstitious, in our line of work, we see many dead people, we will listen to any ghost stories as jokes."
Someone echoed: "That's right, the public prosecutor's law is the most evil, Xiao Zhou, if you are afraid, live in the team's dormitory."
Lin Yan laughed along, but vaguely felt that something was wrong.
It was too cold, a vague cold air climbed up from the calf, spread along the spine to the back, making people want to shiver with cold.
Surprisingly quiet all around, as if there was an invisible barrier separating them from the hustle and bustle of the city at night.
The cold wind blew the leaves of the poplar trees rattling, and there seemed to be something hidden in the thick black shadows of the trees.
"Lin Yan, why are you in a daze!"
A hand flashed in front of his eyes, Lin Yan shivered, and suddenly returned to the real world.
Everyone laughed: "You won't be scared too, the dormitory in the team is for rent, and the price is negotiable."
Lin Yan grinned, and Xiao Yu sat beside him, sensing that he was in a wrong mood, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yan muttered, "I put on the shorts early, it's a bit cold."
He glanced at his watch: "It's too late, let's finish drinking this cup, you guys are still going to work tomorrow morning."
Only then did everyone realize that it was nearly two o'clock in the morning, and hurriedly went back home. Lin Yan turned on the car's air conditioner to warm the air, and felt warm all the way home.
But no, when he came out of the underground garage, the air-conditioning came again.
There is a narrow corridor to go from the garage to the elevator room. The voice-activated light is broken, and the property management company temporarily replaced it with a low-wattage aisle light. The lights are getting dimmer.
It was so quiet that even the security guard who patrolled the night with a flashlight was nowhere to be seen.
The corner of the corridor turning to the elevator room is connected to a staircase, leading up to the fire equipment room. The door is usually locked, no one goes there, and the lights are never turned on. Only the corridor lights cast a faint light.
The narrow and closed space always gives people a sense of fear for no reason. Every time Lin Yan walks through the corridor in the middle of the night, he deliberately avoids this staircase, but his curiosity is the cause, and he says he doesn't look at it, but he can't help but glance over there.
From this point of view, something went wrong.
At the top of the stairs, there seemed to be something in the shadows where the eyes could only see clearly after adapting to the darkness.
Lin Yan stopped and stretched his neck to look inside.
There was indeed a stiff figure, motionless, standing on the steps and looking down.
people? The back of Lin Yan's neck felt cold, who would hide here without turning on the lights in the middle of the night
When the eyes adjusted to the darkness, the shadow disappeared again.
The corners of his mouth were lifted up, and there was an indistinct cold atmosphere around him, which made people feel uncomfortable and oppressed. Could it be that he had attracted that kind of thing by speaking carelessly at the barbecue stand just now
It's strange, a large group of young men who are full of enthusiasm are yelling and drinking around the charcoal stove, and they are still in a prosperous area. Even in the middle of the night, they shouldn't provoke evil things.
With a ding, the elevator arrived, and a bright light shone through the crack of the door.
Xiao Yu walked into the elevator and waited for him: "What are you looking at, come quickly."
Lin Yan hummed through his nose and followed in.
The elevator slowly ascended.
The interior of the elevator is polished, and the stainless steel walls on all sides can vaguely reflect people's shadows.
When I had just ascended to the eighth floor, the lights above my head suddenly flickered non-stop, and there was a thin electric current above my head, buzzing, and then, with a bang, the elevator shook heavily and stopped moving.
The lights went out immediately, and the narrow elevator was completely dark.
"Broken? Damn, I won't be reciting it like this." Lin Yan muttered while groping for the emergency call button on the wall.
Suddenly the light came on again, and there was another bang, and the elevator started to go up again.
"Call the property to fix it tomorrow." Xiao Yu said.
Lin Yan complained: "Huanxin community, the equipment is so tofu..."
Before finishing this sentence, he suddenly noticed something strange.
The shining alloy wall reflected a strange image, next to him and Xiao Yu, at some point, there was a blurry black shadow.
The thing was very close, the back of the head was almost touching the tip of Xiao Yu's nose, it looked like a woman with a big tuft of hair dragging behind her.
Follow up
Lin Yan's expression became serious, and he pulled Xiao Yu back: "Come closer to me."
When they got home, the two stood side by side in front of the sink to wash their hands. Xiao Yu held his toothbrush in his mouth and gently pinched his face: "Is there something you need to tell me?"
Lin Yan's eyes flickered, and he dodged back: "I'm a little tired, I want to go to bed early."
(two)
That thing is very sinister, but not hostile. A door can keep "her" out, Lin Yan thought, what a lonely ghost, who dares to follow him back when his skills are not yet good, he is either dumbfounded or stupid .
The aura of this thing is not like evil, it probably has a wish unfulfilled, and wandered the wrong way in the world, let's not worry about it for the time being.
However, the night was not peaceful.
About an hour later, the two of them had just fallen asleep. In the silent night, there was a sudden heavy knock on the door.
Bang bang bang. Someone was outside the door, banging on the door panel vigorously with his fist.
Xiao Yu was a light sleeper and was woken up first, Lin Yan also heard movement, he couldn't fully wake up from the alcohol, he put his head into Xiao Yu's arms in a daze, and muttered: "Who the hell knocks on the door in the middle of the night, he's sick."
The "person" outside the door obviously didn't realize that he had offended the owner, so he knocked extremely persistently, bang bang bang, more and more urgently, and there was a momentum of not giving up until he reached his goal.
"I'll go and have a look. Maybe the neighbors are in a hurry." Xiao Yu turned on the desk lamp, put on his nightgown and went to the living room to answer the door. Just as he put on the doorknob, Lin Yan rushed out of the bedroom with disheveled hair and shirtless. Leaping in front of him, he said briefly, "Stand back."
The action was so fast that Xiao Yu didn't even have time to react.
Then he turned the lock and pulled the door open.
It was pitch black outside, and the emergency lights were not on. Only the fire door leading to the stairwell was opened by someone. The windows were open, and the draft made people shiver.
Xiao Yu was blocked by him, unable to see what was going on outside: "Who is it?"
"No one. It might be a prank." Lin Yan said, "Sleep, I'm sleepy."
Xiao Yu stood still, frowning, looking him up and down.
Lin Yan's heart was pounding, he couldn't hide it from Xiao Yu when he was young, when he was still the owner of Duan's young master, every time he slipped out to play for money and fight crickets, he would always reveal his true form when he came home and was interrogated for three sentences. Xiao Yu was as meticulous as a hair, as long as he showed this expression, Lin Yan knew that the lie had been seen through again, and he felt a little guilty.
Sure enough, Xiao Yu looked at him for a while, and said calmly: "No, I knocked on the door for a long time, but none of the voice-activated lights outside turned on. It's not a human, could it be a ghost?"
Xiao Yu glanced at him and found the clue, his expression was wrong, there was no one outside the door, but he seemed to see something, his eyes dodged, and the calmness between his brows was unnatural.
"… is that one?"
Lin Yan remained silent.
Xiao Yu understood.
He whispered: "Is it important?"
Lin Yan shook his head and closed the door.
He couldn't hide it from Xiao Yu, but he didn't want to describe what was outside, only he could see, a woman in ragged clothes of no discernable color was squatting at the door, with a swollen, grayish face raised, with strands of black Hair covered with icicles.
The face of the dead man, with a layer of hoarfrost on the chapped lips, should have been... a long time ago, stored in a very cold place.
Xiao Yu took out the cold water bottle from the refrigerator, poured a glass of lemonade and handed it to him. After Lin Yan finished drinking, he took off his shoes and got under the covers, but this time he couldn't fall asleep anyway.
The wind outside the window is howling, night insects are chirping, someone is honking in the neighborhood, maybe someone's car is blocking someone's way.
In such a deep night, why are neither the Yang world nor the underworld stable
He couldn't sleep well, and he was inexplicably disturbed, tossing and turning. After a long time, he sat up again and walked out barefoot. Xiao Yu called him from behind. Lin Yan leaned over and kissed his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Go on to sleep, I'm here to disturb you."
Xiao Yu sighed. Although he didn't talk much, he had a keen mind. He knew Lin Yan very well. Ever since the two of them returned from the ancient tomb in Shanxi and lived a normal life, everything was fine, but there was one thing, since then No one can mention it.
About "death".
Even though the paranoid character fermented in that secret era has disappeared from Lin Yan, even though he has gone through reincarnation again and again and the past resentment has long been forgiven, the people around him are still the same person, and everything cannot be called a new start.
Unlike most successful stories in the world, their past is far from sweet. In the memory that fades away with time, he once killed him with his own hands.
After returning from the ancient tomb, this became an inseparable knot in Lin Yan's heart.
The sorcery practiced in the previous life has been perfected. Those murderous curses and the formations of manipulating ghosts, whether he wants to or not, all come back to his mind with the memory, which cannot be excused or avoided. evil.
In the ancient tomb in Shanxi, at the most critical moment, Lin Yan had gritted his teeth and swore that the former Duan Ze was dead, and no matter how much convenience this lost ancient technique could bring in modern society, he would never need it.
He burned the ancient books that recorded Taoism and spells in front of A Yan's grave, cut off all sensory channels to perceive ghosts, and returned to the most ordinary life. Even when the two occasionally recalled the past, everything stopped at Xiao Yujin's title On April 15th, the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, and everything that happened after that never happened.
As if he just took a long nap, when he woke up, his lover was beside him, quietly guarding him.
Lin Yan didn't want to think about it, so Xiao Yu didn't ask.
Lin Yan rubbed his brows in annoyance: "Strange, I should not be able to see those things now."
Sensing his anxiety, Xiao Yu put on his clothes and got up, saying: "Don't sleep anymore, I'll play the piano for you."
He walked barefoot to the piano table in front of the window, sitting upright, hanging his wrists and nodding his head. The former young master had the same hobbies as before, even the pajamas were clean and white.
The sound of the qin protects against evil, prevents the heart from swaying, and returns to its innocence by self-cultivation and rationality. Strange to say, from the first sound of the guqin, everything around seems to be quiet, even the summer insects are silent.
Lin Yan looked at him from behind, his eyes were inexplicably moist, vaguely like the old days, the quiet stone road, a moon gate separated the two people, the slanting wind and drizzle outside the window, and the two figures inside the window. How much he wished to go back in time, but no matter how much he regretted, the past was a foregone conclusion, and it was hard to get back.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, but Lin Yan still hadn't recovered, and said, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Yu smiled: "In the middle of the night, the neighbors are coming."
Lin Yan sighed: "I don't know what's going on, my heart is in a mess tonight."
Seeing the worried expression on Xiao Yu's face, he shook his head and said, "It's okay, maybe it's just... that thing reminded me of many things from the past."
(three)
Things didn't end there.
For the next few days, although there was no knock on the door again, Xiao Yu knew that the thing hadn't left. It seemed to be entangled with Lin Yan. As long as the two of them passed by a secluded place at night, Lin Yan would turn his head suddenly and die. Staring at a certain point around him, he often shivered as if he was disturbed by some sound that others could not hear. At the same time, his energy seemed to be stolen by some invisible thing. Chaos, there is abnormal black and blue under the eyes.
With Lin Yan's method, ordinary lonely ghosts can't get close to him at all, Xiao Yu is not worried, but what puzzles him is that it seems that since the day when he bumped into a ghost in the middle of the night, Lin Yan's behavior has become more and more weird .
His words became less and less, and he couldn't tell what had changed, but the aura on his body was different from before. Sometimes it was strange, and sometimes it was familiar and frightening.
Lin Yan insisted that it was all right, but when he smashed the third teacup in the store as if sleepwalking, Xiao Yu really got anxious and shook his shoulder: "Tell me the truth, what happened?"
Lin Yan didn't speak, as if he was trapped by something, he kept staring at him and smiling, laughing until Xiao Yu's heart trembled.
The two of them went to the supermarket to buy groceries that day, but there was a traffic jam on the road. When they returned home, it was already dark. When passing through the corridor of the underground garage, Lin Yan suddenly stopped and looked towards the pitch-black fire escape stairs, as if he was talking to something. Things look at each other.
Xiao Yu looked in that direction, but couldn't see anything. He was agitated in his heart, and suddenly raised his voice: "Lin Yan, if you keep saying nothing like this, I'll be annoyed."
Lin Yan remained silent, Xiao Yu was on fire, picked up an apple from the convenience bag and threw it at the iron door above the stairs: "What the hell are you? Why are you following him?"
With a bang, the apple smashed into pieces, and the sweet juice splashed everywhere, but the corridor was cold and empty, and there was no answer except for the echo.
Lin Yan stood with his back against the corridor, looking at Xiao Yu with a half-smile, his eyes were gloomy, but his voice was soft: "Brother Yu, I'm fine."
"Am I okay? Don't be angry, I'm most afraid of you being angry."
Xiao Yu's back felt cold when he heard this address.
Lin Yan didn't call him Brother Yu, except for intercourse, he never called him that on weekdays.
At this moment, he was standing in the shadow of the corridor, and the dim light shrouded him, like a scene in an old black and white movie. He was more like a ghost wandering the world than anyone else.
The paper bag in Xiao Yu's hand fell to the ground suddenly, he strode forward and pressed Lin Yan into his arms: "That's enough, don't be merciful anymore, is it because of such an unknown thing that you are going to lose your life? "
Lin Yan looked at him with fascination, and couldn't bear to move away from Xiao Yu's face even for a moment: "Brother Yu, I'm not afraid of him, I just promised you that I won't use those insidious tricks again."
How did this tone seem familiar!
Xiao Yu was creepy. He claims to have experienced all kinds of situations in the world, and no matter how absurd and bizarre the plot can't shake him, but at this moment, he is hugging the strange and most familiar person, smelling the smell of him, only feeling the buzzing in his head, and the sound in his throat. Thirst, weak knees.
He buried his head on Lin Yan's shoulder and whispered, "Don't scare me, Xiaoyan, I'm no better than before, don't scare me."
But Lin Yan stepped back and broke free from his embrace, as if awakened from a dream, he opened his eyes and looked around: "Damn, what's going on."
Then seeing the expression on Xiao Yu's face, he said with a smile: "I know you love me, so I don't need to spend time hugging and confessing."
He picked up the paper bag on the ground, stretched his waist and walked forward: "Okay, okay, isn't it just a female ghost, just chase it away, pick up a male ghost and put yourself in it, and another female ghost, Young Master, this is not a shelter for the underworld, everyone comes here for a walk."
Xiao Yu was speechless, he looked at Lin Yan's back, and then looked back at the darkness at the end of the fire stairs, full of doubts.
What the hell is going on
(Four)
Lin Yan's sobriety did not last long.
In the early morning of the next day, he refused to get up, let alone go out, and wandered around like a headless chicken. Xiao Yu had to ask for leave to stay with him at home, but Lin Yan seemed to have eaten gunpowder. Unable to press it, Xiao Yu wanted to grab his hand, but he bit him hard, leaving a clear ring of teeth marks on his wrist.
Knowing that he was hungry, Xiao Yu was not good at cooking, so he barely cooked porridge and fed him spoon by spoon. Lin Yan leaned against him, opened his mouth obediently, and looked at him with eyes full of attachment.
Xiao Yu spent a whole day with him, sweating profusely from exhaustion.
But it was not in vain, he finally saw the clue from Lin Yan's weird behavior.
At that time, he was manic and sober, but he was dragging himself all the time, wanting to die with him at any time, Xiao Yu was too familiar with the madness.
Because of familiarity, I have a bottom line in my heart.
Lin Yan was so exhausted that he fell asleep with his pillow on Xiao Yu's lap. The sleeping state was very stable. Xiao Yu stroked his hair lightly, thinking, what a good person, why in a blink of an eye, his consciousness seems to go back to the past the same
After dinner, Lin Yan's father called to say that someone had delivered four boxes of cherries, and asked Xiao Yu to hurry over to pick them up. Xiao Yu was afraid that the recent incident would scare the old man, so he hesitated for a while, locked Lin Yan at home, and drove back and forth quickly.
It was only an hour before and after, and when I went home, my heart was pounding, for fear that something might happen.
Pushing open the door, the room was dark.
All the lights that were on when I left were extinguished, and the person who was sleeping on the sofa disappeared.
"Lin Yan?"
No one answered, and the house was eerily quiet.
Xiao Yu's scalp was numb, and he searched in the bedroom, the study room, and finally found him in the bathroom. Lin Yan curled up against the bathtub, his eyes closed, and his breathing was short and heavy.
Xiao Yu knelt down in front of him, touched his face: "I'm back."
"It's cold on the ground, let's go back to sleep in the house."
Lin Yan opened his eyes and stared at him blankly: "Xiao Yu, am I...not sober? I clearly remember falling asleep, but when I opened my eyes, I don't know where..."
He tugged on Xiao Yu's sleeve, and his tone became softer: "Brother Yu, I feel sad, I always feel like I'm stuck..."
Xiao Yu has a cold personality and doesn't like to be entangled with others. All his patience was on Lin Yan, and he coaxed softly, "Sad? Is it because I've been out for too long?"
"Or what did I do wrong?"
Lin Yan's eyelids were heavy, and he answered irrelevant questions: "Brother Yu, I miss you so much, and I get very angry when I miss you for a while."
Then he took a trembling breath: "I want you very much."
He groped and clasped Xiao Yu's waist, but Xiao Yu ignored his courtship, and grabbed the back of his head with his hands from behind, preventing him from resting in the cold bathtub, with a calm tone: "Since when?"
"Um?"
"I mean, since when did you miss me so much and feel so sad?"
Xiao Yu looked at his empty eyes, and gently shook his shoulders: "Lin Yan, don't sleep yet, think about it carefully, did it start from the day someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night?"
Lin Yan tried hard to remember, first shook his head, then nodded.
Xiao Yu said: "Okay, I understand."
Lin Yan's gaze lost focus again, he was empty, and whispered: "Brother Yu, I have been waiting for you."
Xiao Yu picked up Lin Yan, carried it on his shoulders, and sighed: "I will never forget you brother Yu, I am really going to be so worried that my hair turns white."
(five)
It was past nine o'clock in the evening when Yin Zhou came.
He still came before anyone came, and hurriedly greeted Xiao Yu while opening the cabinet to change his shoes: "Yo, Mr. Xiao, why did you call this time? Where is my Xiao Linzi? Why don't you come out to greet me?"
"Call me here at night, is there any supper?"
"Don't change your shoes, come here." Xiao Yu looked indifferent, and led him straight into the bedroom, then turned around and said, "Lin Yan is not feeling well, so don't disturb him."
Lin Yan lay on his side on the bed, tightly wrapped in the quilt, with the back of his head facing the door.
"Sleep? What time is it?" Yin Zhou slumped down, and raised his hand to smash chestnuts on Lin Yan's forehead. Then he realized something was wrong. Lin Yan's whole body was red like burnt shrimp, and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat. , complexion sallow.
Stretching out his hand to his forehead: "So hot?"
Xiao Yu made a gesture to calm him down, and opened Lin Yan's eyelids.
Yin Zhou gasped.
Lin Yan's pupils were covered with a layer of turbid yellow fluid, his eyes rolled quickly, and he had already entered a coma. The mucous membranes in the inner and outer corners of the eyes were severely congested, and the area was slightly enlarged than when I saw it just now, and the entire white of the eyes was almost covered by red blood spots.
At first glance, it turned out to be a pair of bloody eyes. Yin Zhou was stunned. After a long time, he regained his composure and turned his head to Xiao Yu, yelling, "If people are like this, don't send them to the hospital. Are you domestic violence?"
"You said that Xiao Linzi was ill, I'll go drive!" He jumped up suddenly, "You carry him down."
Xiao Yu stood there without moving.
Yin Zhou looked at him, then looked back at Lin Yan, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and a little jealous and depressed, he didn't know what to do.
"It wasn't like this when I called you. This happened strangely, and it shouldn't be an ordinary illness." He glanced at Yin Zhou, "You are the only one who has experienced those things together, please be quiet, and I will tell you the ins and outs. you."
Yin Zhou opened his eyes wide: "You mean..."
"I guess he's stuck with something."
Xiao Yu lowered his eyes: "I want to ask you to do something..."
Yin Zhou interrupted him: "What are you begging for! Let me be honest, Xiao Linzi and I grew up wearing the same pair of pants, and his affairs are mine!"
"Don't rush to agree." Xiao Yu got up and went to the living room to make a cup of tea for him, and said unhurriedly, "I ask you to borrow someone."
Smoke came from Yin Zhou's thirsty throat, and he picked up the cup and blew hot air: "Who?"
"Ache."
"Pfft—" Yin Zhou couldn't swallow a mouthful of hot water, couldn't spit it out, and burned a piece of skin off his upper teeth.
Xiao Yu gave Yin Zhou a big problem.
Ever since Yin Zhou's blind date incident, Ah Che has ignored him again.
In fact, Yin Zhou doesn't really want to have anything to do with that fox demon in his heart. After all, the dewy marriage is far from the point where the world can learn from each other. When it comes to falling in love, that fox has seven orifices in his heart.
What's more, Yin Zhou found that he was not really interested in people with handles. As for why he was fascinated by Ah Che, it was probably because he was a fox, and it was terrible for a fox to hook up with people.
A Che grew up in the mountains, and he came and went like the wind. He was not used to a fixed life, so it was a good thing he left.
When the call was connected, Yin Zhou actually refused in his heart.
When he was so damaged that he couldn't fight back through the receiver, his heart was actually broken.
Xiao Yu couldn't see it, picked up the phone, and was about to report himself, but there was a tactful oops, which was very graphic, as if Ah Che was wagging his tail, lightly clasping the table with one hand, smiling with his eyes bent Said: "Oh, I know who you are."
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "As expected, Bingxue is really smart."
Hearing that Lin Yan was ill, A Che readily agreed to visit tomorrow afternoon, but there were three requirements. One was to light a candle by the bedside and have someone watch it all the time. Before the candle was burned out, a new candle should be used immediately; The second is that from now on, strangers are not allowed to bump into Lin Yan's residence, and neither are his parents; the third is that Yin Zhou can be there, but he can only work and not talk.
Xiao Yu wondered: "The first and the second make sense, why is the third?"
A Che sneered: "I think he's noisy."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yu sacrificed Yin Zhou.
Lin Yan had a high fever and needed someone to take care of him. That night, Yin Zhou stayed behind and built a nest on the sofa. He and Xiao Yu took turns guarding in front of Lin Yan's bed, wiping his body with alcohol every once in a while. Cool down.
At the beginning, I was still tired, but after three o'clock in the morning, I survived the time when I was most sleepy, and my mind was so clear that no one would rest at all. From that day onwards, until Lin Yan fell into a coma, he told Yin Zhou exactly what happened.
What Xiao Yu didn't understand the most was, what was the relationship between that wandering soul of unknown origin and Lin Yan's confusion
The world of death is thousands of miles away from the world of humans. People who are physically dead but do not enter reincarnation, and walk alone in the yang world are nothing more than repaying kindness, seeking revenge, unfulfilled wishes, and unfinished life.
Everything has a cause and effect. At the beginning, he found Lin Yan because of his love and hatred in his previous life. I don't know what kind of trouble he got into this time
Yin Zhou sat on the chair instead, with his chin resting on the back of the chair, and said: "At that time in the ancient tomb, we all saw how awesome Xiao Linzi was when he ran wild, so the moth could knock him down with a little movement. Very difficult."
Xiao Yu said: "The blame is here. When he was still awake, he never said that the thing was powerful. If it was really dangerous, he at least told me to be on guard."
The two guessed and guessed, but there was no conclusion. Yin Zhou yawned and burst into tears, and said: "Whatever, when the fox comes, you will know what kind of monster is here."
(six)
The two stayed at home for a day and a night, except for eating and going to the bathroom, neither of them dared to move.
When the appointed time came, the two of them had said everything they could say, each was silent, each had a pair of big dark circles under their eyes, Xiao Yu lay down beside Lin Yan's bed and took a nap, Yin Zhou lay sprawled on the sofa, drooling in sleep .
At dusk, day and night intersect, yang qi declines and yin qi gradually develops.
Archer arrived as scheduled.
He was still a pretty boy, wearing a pink T-shirt and white shorts, dressed in fancy clothes, smiling all over his face when he rang the doorbell, but when he entered the living room, his expression suddenly became serious.
He formed a seal with his right hand, opened his nostrils, and sniffed the air in the room like a dog. His expression became more and more puzzled. He stopped and walked until he touched Yin Zhou.
Yin Zhou was warned by Xiao Yu not to talk, and seeing Ah Che sniffing around, he guiltyly hid the bowl of instant noodles under the coffee table.
"Hey... you are a dog..."
A Che turned his face away in disgust: "You two smell almost rotten, don't you know?"
As soon as Xiao Yu's face darkened, Ah Che didn't dare to be presumptuous, and said softly: "This place is very dark."
"how?"
"I can't put it into words, I just feel that there is a very sad aura here, as if..." A Che lowered his eyes, "It seems that many wishes have not been fulfilled, and many loved ones cannot meet each other, it is too heavy."
The fox family is best at reading minds, Xiao Yu frowned: "But kind?"
"It's also strange. Although this aura is strong, it doesn't seem to be malicious." A Che said, "Is the candle I mentioned lit?"
"Two of them have been replaced, and they have never been broken."
Ah Che nodded in satisfaction: "Take me to see him first."
Xiao Yu brought him into the bedroom. Ah Che looked at the bedside candle first, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the candle flame dancing briskly. pulse. Then he fell on Lin Yan's body, pressed his face against his chest, and listened quietly for a while.
"How long has he been sleeping like this?"
"one day one Night."
Ah Che snorted: "This is very interesting. The candle is his sun fire. Look at the fire, it doesn't look like evil spirits invading the body, but it seems like he is willing to sleep like this."
He turned over and got out of bed: "I'll try to see if I can wake him up first."
"But I can only confuse people. Brother Lin Yan can't do anything about exorcising ghosts and catching demons..." Ah Che raised his head and looked around. When his eyes moved to the northwest corner of the room, he suddenly froze.
He swallowed half of the words.
"Xiao Yu." Ah Che said slowly, "Do you know that there is always one more person in this bedroom?"
Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, then there was a deep malice between his brows, and he said in a deep voice, "Where is it?"
(seven)
The duration of the fox's spell is very short.
Ache said that ghosts are different from ghosts. If it is a ghost with deep resentment, or a soul that has a connection with him, such as Xiao Yu back then, as long as he is blessed with a little magic, he can be forced to appear. Some ordinary people with special fate , and even be able to meet it in a specific celestial phenomenon, time and environment.
But at this time, the faint ray of wandering spirit in this room is not easy to perceive.
Most of the time, once people and ghosts are separated by yin and yang, the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, and the six senses are no longer connected.
So Ah Che deliberately chose the time of dusk, when yin and yang are replaced, the sky and the earth are chaotic, and people and ghosts are confused. Newborn babies are most likely to cry at this time, and it is the most restless time of the day.
The doors and windows in the house were tightly closed, and the drawn curtains blocked the last ray of light in the evening. I don't know whether it was a psychological effect or a few words of the fox's mantra, everyone felt a slight chill on the back of their necks.
The surroundings are getting darker and darker, only the candlelight flickers lightly.
Ache said softly: "Here we come."
There is a "woman" standing in the corner.
It took a long time for everyone to recognize it as a "woman" from a large mass of black hair. This person looked like a half-rotten animal whose whole head had been frozen. The body was severely squeezed and deformed. The big hole, blood and brains were frozen on the face, and formed thick black blood scabs with the hair. The chest and abdomen were most rotten, exposing two rows of red, black and black ribs and fascia. The body is covered, the skin color of the whole body is black and blue, and the eyeballs are also frozen hard, covered with a layer of hoarfrost.
The woman's head was hanging down, her feet were bare, the soles of her feet were scorched until the skin was scorched and the flesh was rotten, and there were not many ten toes left.
Tick, tick.
This mass of frozen meat without a human figure gradually thawed and melted at room temperature, dripping with corpse water, and the air was filled with a strong stench.
This scene was so tragic, Ah Che hid behind Xiao Yu, Yin Zhou simply retreated outside the door, holding on to the door frame and retching repeatedly.
Ah Che tugged at the corner of Xiao Yu's clothes, and said, "This is the 'that thing' that followed Brother Lin Yan."
"Ouch..." Yin Zhou coughed until tears came out, "What a fucking hatred..."
Using the fox's technique as a bridge, the female ghost also saw someone other than Lin Yan for the first time, with her mouth slightly open, looking back and forth between them and Lin Yan in surprise.
Xiao Yu endured the discomfort, and said to the female ghost: "The injustice has a leader and a debtor, he has nothing to do with you, why did you hurt him?"
The female ghost looked at him and responded with something, but her lips moved, but no sound was heard. Probably finding that the two could not communicate, the woman hesitated for a moment, then walked slowly towards Xiao Yu dragging her stump.
The closer the woman got, the stronger the stench became.
At the same time, indescribable sadness came from all directions like a tide, and the cold breath penetrated everywhere, making everyone feel as if they were under the water, and their facial features were filled with salty sea water.
The atmosphere was so depressing that it was almost breathless, and the heart seemed to be poured with lead and fell heavily, falling to an invisible place.
Xiao Yu remembered that before Lin Yan passed out, he hugged him in the bathroom and said he was sad, but he couldn't find the reason.
After being suppressed, the aura suddenly changed, both painful and joyful, as if the heart filled with lead water was picked up and rubbed in the palm of the hand.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yu finally came to his senses.
This feeling is like missing.
The strong and unreasonable longing made people no longer feel the rancid smell in this room, sweat broke out on Xiao Yu's forehead, and his heart was beating wildly.
