Everyone lightly stepped up and hurried upstairs.
You Huo asked Chu Yue in a low voice, "Have you seen those low cabinets?"
Chu Yue said: "When I first came here, I went through it to find a hidden space. I haven't looked at it since then. It smells very strange."
Qin Qiu: "What does it taste like?"
"I didn't pay attention at the time, but I thought it smelled bad. But it wasn't the smell of blood. If the smell of blood was too strong, I would have noticed it at the time." Chu Yue's face was not very good-looking.
Shu Xue and the others looked even more ugly.
Who can afford to hide something under the bed every day.
As soon as she entered the master bedroom, Chu Yue pointed to the side of the bed and said, "That's it. There are two doors on one side, and there are four low cabinets in total."
This is indeed a good place for Tibetans.
The doors are flat and the gaps are barely visible.
"How do I open this door?" Yu Wen gestured with his fingers across the air, "There is neither a door handle nor a place to dig."
Just as Chu Yue was about to answer, You Huo had already squatted down, knocked on the cabinet door and said, "It's open on both sides, push it in."
"How do you know?" Chu Yue asked suspiciously, "We only discovered it that day when we kicked it away accidentally."
Youyou said: "Written in the diary."
The hostess and the hostess have a thick diary, except for the torn pages, most of the content is bland and trivial.
You Huo jumped and flipped a little, they happened to mention these low cabinets.
According to the diary, not long after they moved to this small town, there lived a couple of craftsmen next door. They were good at home decoration and they were enthusiastic. The only drawback was that they were impatient and a little careless.
The bed with low cabinets, the bunk in the children's room and the wallpaper throughout the house were made by the artisan couple.
As a result, the inside and outside of the cabinet door were accidentally installed upside down, and the wallpaper was also affixed to the backlight.
"Mill and Walkley blushed and apologized, saying that they would be dismantled and redone for us. Matthew and I both felt it was unnecessary. Anyway, the low cabinets will not be used frequently. It's dark in the house. They still feel sorry for it, they put spring hinges on the cabinet to make it double-sided, and they bought a lot of small gifts for our soon-to-be-born child. What a warm person!"
This is the content mentioned in the diary. Youhuo remembers a general idea.
He pushed open the cabinet door, and a strange smell came out.
Several people around smelled it, covering their noses and taking a step back.
"That's the smell." Chu Yue said, "It's not pungent, but it's really unpleasant."
Like spoiled rubber and wet mud, it stayed in it for a long time until it was stuffy.
The cabinet was deep and pitch black.
Qin Jiu turned on the light of his mobile phone and asked, "Is there any?"
"No, empty."
You Huo let go of his hand, the spring shaft rattled, and the cabinet door slowly closed by itself.
Yu Wen looked at a few older sisters with pale faces, trying to protect them. He walked to the side of the bed and said, "I'll look this way."
Qin Qiu went to the second cabinet door and continued to use his mobile phone to look at it. He glanced at Yu Wen and asked, "Aren't you afraid anymore?"
"What am I afraid of with a ball?" Yu Wen was full of confidence.
As a result, Yuhuo just opened the cabinet door, and his brother sat on the ground opposite the bed with a "fuck".
Xiaohongshou Yu Wen performed a stunt online to open the cabinet and search for the ball.
The ball is nestled in the innermost part of the cabinet, with an abstract cartoon face on it. The white light of the mobile phone swept past, and the face looked at him so directly.
When Yu Wen fell to the ground, the ball suddenly rolled out by himself.
Only then did he realize that there was not one, but two identical balls, one immediately after the other.
"Where's the ball?"
You Huo came over and saw that the low cabinet was empty.
"Roll behind the curtain!" Yu Wen jumped up abruptly and reached out to grab a handful.
You Huo and Qin Qiu have already opened the curtains on both sides.
The curtains in the master bedroom have two layers, white gauze and dark green velvet swept from the ground, the balls quietly reveal a little, and disappear behind the fabric in a blink of an eye.
It is like a child playing hide and seek, probing its brain, and running away after being discovered.
You Huo and Qin Research simply carried half of the curtains in their hands, preventing any fabric from hanging down on the ground.
There were dirty handprints and ball prints on the bare walls, but nothing on the ground.
The ball is gone.
Suddenly, the little girl giggled in the small building.
It's clearly Shirley's voice, but it's more delicate.
"Why don't I hear that I'm not here, downstairs?" After Chu Yue finished speaking, she rushed downstairs.
"I sound like I'm in the corridor." Qin Qiu said.
Youyou: "I'm listening right here."
The laughter echoed from all corners of the small building.
Everyone searched separately, ran upstairs and downstairs a few times, and searched almost all corners, but there was no trace of the ball.
But they found something else.
It's all bits and pieces of gadgets with surprising details.
You Huo held an iron candy jar in his hand, and a note was pasted under the jar with Shirley's childish words on it:
"Gift to Sally"
There are various kinds of candies, as if they were saved at different times.
He found the tin in the back of the closet, with an exaggerated pink bow and a cartoon birthday cake.
I don't know how long it's been there, the jar has rusted and the sticker has faded. The candy is partially melted, and you can smell the sweetness when you open it. It is very greasy for wandering, but children should like it.
There are also boxes for building blocks in the toy room, many of which were written by Shirley.
"Sally 1"
"Sally 2"
"Sally's Favorite"
"I like it too, but for Sally's sake"
…
Sally, Sally, Sally.
She was like an excited puppy, marking everywhere. But ninety percent of those marks are Sally-related.
Think about the original diary... She really likes this sudden appearance of the older brother.
But Sally didn't always like her that much.
When Qin Qiu went to search the low cabinet for the second time, he found some conversations in it.
The color of the pen is different, and the handwriting is also different. It should be left by the two brothers and sisters who took turns hiding here.
"Sally, are you still mad at me?"
"pregnancy."
"Sally, can you stop being angry?"
"cannot."
"Why are you angry again, Sally?"
"Because you take my place, you always take my place."
"I do not have."
"It is."
"No."
"Yes! You just don't know, you always don't know anything."
"No."
Qin Research: "..."
"What are you looking at?" You Huo came upstairs.
"Look at a pair of repeaters arguing." Qin Jiu stood up straight.
"See what?"
"One is repeating that you are wrong, and the other is repeating that I am not." Qin Jiu straightened up and said, "I looked at the three low cabinets, but didn't see anything specific. What about you? Did you find anything?"
"I just flipped through the diary again." You Huo opened the book and turned to a few pages in the corner, "I was very puzzled before—"
"Are you still wondering?" Qin Qiu said.
Youhuo looked at him with a "tsk".
Qin Qiu touched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Don't interrupt, you are very puzzled and then?"
Youhuo is usually too lazy to speak, and will talk a little more in front of him.
Qin Qiu enjoys the treatment very much, and always likes to tease him with more words and more expressions.
"Occasionally I wonder." You Huo changed his description with a frozen face, and then continued: "Xue Li looked in the mirror and showed a brother, don't you think it's strange?"
Qin Qiu actually understood what he meant, but he wanted to tease him: "What's wrong?"
Youhuo said blankly: "You look in the mirror to copy a Qin researcher No. 2, and the long hair is your sister. What do you think is strange?"
Qin Research: "..."
This example was too shocking, and he couldn't keep up.
You Huo saw that his face was colorful, so he took out the diary with satisfaction.
Several of the pages were folded by him and could be turned to immediately.
It was a very early year, and Shirley's parents wrote:
June 12
Mill and Walkley still felt guilty about fitting the cabinet door, and sent some small gifts. Knowing that I have a little boy and a little girl in my belly, they bought gifts in pairs, clothes, building blocks, strollers, balls... There are so many, I have to make a list to remember.
Really warm people.
June 27
The doctor said that my little boy is not doing well, I haven't slept all night, and so is Matthew.
July 8
My little boy is still in bad shape, my little girl is healthy, and the doctor told me to mentally prepare myself.
I don't want to know what the mental preparation is.
August 16
My little boy disappeared.
August 30
I have been having nightmares for the past two weeks, dreaming that the little boy was crying to me.
The doctor told me not to be too sad.
How could it not be sad
September 21
I cried so much this month.
The doctor said that my little girl is growing well and will be born smoothly.
I seem to have some relief.
September 27
Matthew and I have reached a tacit agreement that we will not mention another child in the future, lest Shirley know that it will be sad in the future.
Shirley is the name Matthew took yesterday, I hope she is a cute and beautiful little angel.
My little boy, keep it in your heart forever.
But sometimes...
Very occasionally, when I think of the doctor saying that the little boy was absorbed by Shirley, I would feel uncomfortable.
But poor Shirley didn't know that she was innocent.
I will still love her very much, and so will Matthew.
…
The last fold is a long way from the front, three years later.
February 17
The house is really messy today. When Shirley was listening to the story, she suddenly grabbed Matthew's finger and said that she wanted a brother.
Matthew fled back to the bedroom before finishing the story.
I suddenly realized that I had never been very close to Shirley, and neither did Matthew.
Maybe Shirley felt too lonely to want a brother.
After reading this, Qin Jiu suddenly understood what Sally meant when he said "You always take my place".
Why does Shirley take a picture of an older brother
Because Sally was with her all the time.
Some people say that the mirror will reveal the soul, and it gave Shirley a brother...
also killed herself.
They followed the laughter for an afternoon, and suddenly realized that Shirley was actually leading the way.
She is telling the guests little by little what happened to her.
The whole day, the system broadcast was very quiet, and only reported a series of dead people's names one after another in the evening.
There is a lot of information in this house, and it is not difficult to find all the answers. So not many people died because of answering the questions, most of them accidentally annoyed two little ghosts during the day.
Fake Shirley's cry is very strange, such as now.
She and Sally disappeared for a day, and then appeared on the stairs without warning, holding hands and scolding the guests: "Why don't you come to us!"
You Huo raised his eyes from the diary, his expression very unkind.
"We're playing hide and seek," Shirley said.
Confused: "Oh."
Seeing that he didn't respond, Shirley said to the others, "We are playing hide and seek today, you should come to us."
She bit her lip unhappy, and after a while, she said, "You guys have been looking for the ball, and you didn't care about us."
Everyone's expressions are complicated, and this "brother and sister" is even more disturbing now. Because they were almost certain that the ball had a real Shirley stuffed in it.
Fake Shirley takes another hit.
She glanced at Sally, and finally said to Qin Qiu who had just come downstairs: "We are playing hide and seek."
Qin Qiu: "Oh, is the game over?"
This is the first attitude to be different.
The little girl's eyes lit up: "Not yet, do you want to play with us?"
Qin Qiu came over and patted her on the head and said, "Go hide, I won't look for it anyway."
A straw crushes the camel.
Xue Li couldn't bear the humiliation, and was so angry that Qin Jiu cried.
She threw her anger on Qin Jiu's head, and even sat down together, pushing Chu Yue, who was closest to him, into the mirror together.
Chu Yue felt that she might have Mercury retrograde.
She originally wanted to grab the frame to save herself, but saw Qin Jiu blink.
Chu Yue: "?"
on purpose
What are you two going to do? ?
At the same time, a strange scene appeared in the proctoring office.
Generally speaking, the invigilator office will have a place responsible for recording the details of the text version in the examination room. When an abnormality occurs, the invigilator can check the situation before and after.
But that's actually pretty tasteless.
Abnormalities will always be accompanied by violations by candidates. If you want to know the details, the invigilator can go to the examination room directly with the notice. The live version is always more useful than the text version.
So the detailed record is a forgotten thing, and there will be no invigilator at all.
But today is an exception.
Wu Yangyang crowded dozens of heads beside the computer screen, and carefully called out the text details of the 197 exam room.
Then they saw the following passage:
Candidate's name: Youhuo
Admission ticket number: Unresolved
first day of exam
Pm19:51
Event: Candidate Youhuo failed to give Shirley a satisfactory answer, provoked the other party to cry, and declared her death.
Conclusion: Candidates are confused and the remaining 7/8, the test continues.
Pm19:55
Event: Candidate Youhuo failed to give Shirley a satisfactory answer, provoked the other party to cry, and declared her death.
Conclusion: Candidates are confused and the remaining 6/8, the test continues.
…
Wandering is like a cake in the text, a piece is missing for a while, and a piece is missing for a while.
As few as 3/8 of him left in the examination room, the situation suddenly reversed, and after a wave of resurrection, the remaining number of wanderings became 1 again.
Then came the next day.
…
Looking at the entire record, this person has not been complete a few times.
The faces of the invigilators looked like bastards.
The invigilator holding the mouse rolled the scroll wheel twice, pulled the record down, and muttered: "Where did I really hear this name, where is it..."
He pulled straight to the last page, and a photo of a candidate suddenly appeared.
His first reaction was: When did the detail record take photos? Revised
After being stunned for two seconds, he let out a "fuck" after realizing it.
Isn't this the fucking chief examiner A? ?
