"Tear..."
Ni Lingmiao tore open the courier package, which contained a group of artistic wedding photos taken by the studio for him and Xueyin.
He showed a very happy expression, with a smile on his face.
"It's...so beautiful, Xueyin..."
He rubbed the photo album in front of him with his hand, and his fingers touched the face of his fiancée Wei Xueyin in a wedding dress in the photo.
"Is it a good shot?"
The elder sister Ni Lingshuang, who was applying the facial mask, came out from behind at some point, and said with a smile, "It really is a wolf, a tiger, a tiger, a leopard...ah no, it's a talented woman..."
"Sister..." Ling Miao was taken aback and said, "Don't scare me!"
"It's because you read it too engrossed. By the way... I also sent a copy of the wedding invitation to my father. But I think the possibility that he will come to the wedding... is almost negligible."
"Oh, really?"
Originally, when a son got married, it was only natural for his father to attend. However, the father of the siblings, Ni Guangjie, is only interested in quantum physics, and has no sense of family or family ties. Moreover, he has not been in the country all year round, and even his current address was found out with great difficulty.
"If he doesn't want to come... then there's nothing I can do..." Ling Miao can hardly remember his father's appearance. At first, he just left enough savings for the family to allow the siblings to have money to go to college, but … and nothing more. In his original study room, besides some physics books, there were also many weird mystical books, such as "Corpse Canon" and "Cthulhu Mythology". At the same time, there were many Hong Kong horror novelist Mei Qing Cold horror novel.
"Okay, sister, I'm going to see Xueyin. The photo album was sent faster than expected, so I just took it to show her. There are probably a lot of people getting married today, so let her see it when you line up at the Civil Affairs Bureau. "
"Okay... I'll take Xueyin home for dinner tonight. After I get my certificate, I can call her younger brother and sister. I'll go shopping first."
In one's life, the happiest moment... When is it
Different people come to different conclusions. But there is no doubt that, for Ni Lingmiao, the happiest moment in life is now, the moment when she and Xueyin are about to receive their marriage certificate and become legal couples.
Since the family has enough savings, and he himself has become a graduate student in history, and the housing prices in this city are not as exaggerated as in the first-tier cities, he has already purchased a new house for him and Xueyin, and now he is hiring someone. furnish. After getting married, he and Xueyin can live in this love nest that belongs to them alone.
Happiness... Happiness... He is already too grateful to God for his favor, allowing him to meet Xueyin, so he will never expect more happiness. This is enough, enough... Even if it would be a shortcoming that his father couldn't come to his wedding, he wouldn't care too much about it. It is enough to know that my father is in good health abroad.
But at that time, he didn't realize the disaster and terrible fate he was about to face.
He walked into the underground parking garage, walked into the BMW he bought at the beginning of the year, put the photo album on the passenger seat, and started the car. Just then... His cell phone rang. However... it was an unknown number.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he suddenly thought of something and connected the phone.
"Hello? Is... Dad?"
"Ling Miao, I haven't seen you for many years."
"It's you...Dad..." Lingmiao felt a little relieved at this time, although he had always resented his father's indifference to him and Xueyin in the past, even though he didn't return to China to attend their graduation ceremony when he graduated from university, but After meeting Xueyin, his heart was filled with gratitude and tolerance, so he didn't mind these things anymore.
"You are getting married, congratulations... ah."
"Dad, will you...will you come back to China to attend the wedding? Sister, she has already sent you an invitation..."
"Since it's my son's wedding, there's no reason not to come. But Lingmiao, I actually have a wedding present that I want to give to you."
"Gift?" Hearing this word, Lingmiao's heart was filled with gratitude: "Really? Dad?"
At this moment, if Ye Xiang was here, he would find one thing. When Lingmiao laughed...it was very similar to his mother. However, after entering the Hell Cinema, the smile completely disappeared from Ni Lingmiao's face.
…
after an hour.
After passing the toll booth, Ling Miao came to a rural highway.
Originally, today was the day that Xueyin and Xueyin had agreed to go to collect the certificate, but the time was actually very loose, but after receiving the photo album, he wanted to find Xueyin in advance, but he did not use his mobile phone to contact her. Xueyin had never met his father, and it was impossible for her to have no regrets about the possibility that his father might not come to the wedding. And now his father actually said to give them a wedding gift, how could Lingmiao not be overjoyed? Wouldn't it be more perfect to meet Xueyin with a gift
"I have a house in the suburbs. That house has a code lock. I will send you a text message to tell you the code. My gift is in the bedroom on the second floor. You will see it as soon as you enter."
"Could it be... Dad, are you in China now?"
"I knew you were going to get married before, and I went back to China once... I will come on the wedding day, Ling Miao."
"Okay... ok... Dad!"
It took him a while to find the house his father had left behind, relying on the GPS in his car.
At that time, he didn't know... what he would face. If there was a so-called regret medicine in this world, then he would never do that one day.
"Well... Xueyin, I'll bring the photo album with me this afternoon... Are you doing your hair outside?"
"After all, you have to look at the photos on the marriage certificate for a lifetime..." The voice on the other end of the phone made Ling Miao's soul dream.
"Afternoon..." Lingmiao said this, her brows and eyes filled with happiness, "We are... husband and wife."
On the other end of the phone, there was a sudden silence.
"I love you, Xueyin."
At that time, he didn't know that this would be the last sentence between him and Xueyin.
"I love you too, Lingmiao..."
Suddenly, the signal of the mobile phone was disconnected at this time.
Ling Miao took off the earphones after confirming that there was no signal.
…
(At that time... shouldn't go in, shouldn't open that door... why, I didn't find it?)
From that day on, the cold and dark Avgomon Castle became his eternal cage. Human beings are so small in the universe. For stars, thousands of years are fleeting, but for human beings, they are untouchable and eternal. But to Ling Miao, everything is not important anymore.
His consciousness was gradually awakening from the darkness at this time.
(That day, I opened the door that wasn't supposed to be opened... )
Ling Miao pressed the password his father had said, and opened the door. There was a strange, rancid smell coming from inside. The room was completely backlit and the ventilation was extremely poor. After entering, it was like entering a dark world. It was clearly noon, but Lingmiao felt a chill down her back.
(Why at that time... I didn't see the problem?)
He covered his mouth because the dust and stench in the air was unbearable. How long has no one lived here
(At that time, why didn't I rush out the door?)
He found the stairs and headed up. The stench became more pronounced, and it was obvious that the second floor was the source of the stench. This made Ling Miao feel strong anxiety, but the natural curiosity made him not stop.
(What a stupid mistake that is... stop, if you stop at this time, there is still time...)
When Ling Miao came to the second floor, he noticed that the source of the stench was in the direction of the bedroom on the south side of the second floor that his father had told him. And the closer to the bedroom there, the stronger the stench...
(I walked into a realm that is not human at all, and thus became a servant of Avgomun Castle... )
The door... opened.
In the dark bedroom, he couldn't see his fingers, but the stench that hit his face made him almost vomit. The wedding gift my father spoke of... is here
(Why did I...didn't run away?)
After only three seconds, Ling Miao confirmed one thing...
There are people in the room!
