Tossing and turning like spreading pancakes on the bed, after turning over for a long time, I finally fell asleep. The dream was no longer like the darkness with nothing in the past few days. Xia Lian found himself in a familiar environment—that is, in the current rented house. It's just that the surrounding light is extremely dim, and the whole room is filled with cool gray. The eyes were no longer blocked by the black, but the rustling sound could still be clearly heard in the ears. The direction of the sound was directed towards the bathroom. In the next second, before Xia Lian had time to react, he found himself standing in the middle of the bathroom.

The bathroom is also covered by a layer of dark blue, not to mention the dim light, the only light source above the mirror is still flickering, the rustling sound that Xia Lian has dreamed of for several nights, the place where the sound is made is the human mold.

The black mold spots that are about the size of a human being, the rustling sound comes from the sound of their crazy growth, gradually superimposed from light gray to gradually expand, Xia Lian watched helplessly as the human-shaped mold spots accumulated more and more, It seemed to protrude from the wall, like a large group of crowded ants stretching towards him. Xia Lian immediately turned around and opened the bathroom door and rushed to the living room. When he looked up, he saw that the mildew spots on the ceiling of the living room were also expanding and growing at the same time, spreading down rustlingly, twisting into a human shape, and moving quickly towards Xia Lian.

Chased by the growing mildew in the living room and bathroom, Xia Lian was forced into the bedroom, and the large group of mildew also rushed into the bedroom, running down the corners of the four walls, turning into countless black mildew The human form surrounded Xia Lian, and even a pile of mold grew on the floor, which turned into the shape of a human hand and tried to catch Xia Lian.

Xia Lian kept dodging and jumped onto the bed in a hurry, one foot was not fully retracted in time, and one of the countless moldy hands swarming on the ground grabbed his calf. The moment the mold touches the skin, it hurts like a fire. Xia Lian kicked his feet suddenly and woke up suddenly from the nightmare. He immediately threw off the quilt and jumped out of bed to turn on the headlights. His forehead was covered with sweat, and he wiped the back of his neck with his hands. Cold sweat was streaming down his entire back.

Is it too wrong to dream like this? Xia Lian was still in shock, panting and looking around the bedroom, the room illuminated by the warm white light seemed normal, without the human-shaped mildew spots that surrounded him in the dream, but there was an ominous pain in his left foot, Xia Lian hurriedly Lifting his left foot to check, a gray-blue palm imprint suddenly appeared on the calf, just like what he had just dreamed about!

He tried to wipe it off with his thumb, but the mark couldn't be wiped off at all. Xia Lian immediately went to the bathroom and turned on the tap to rinse it with water. The mark still didn't fade in the slightest. While wiping it hard, Xia Lian noticed a detail. The mirror reflected the human-shaped mildew in the corner next to the bathtub behind him, and it disappeared inexplicably

To make sure, Xia Lian turned around and walked to the bathtub, and found that the human-shaped mildew spot in the corner had really disappeared, completely, as if it had never existed before. He hurried back to the living room and looked up at the ceiling. The mildew spots have also disappeared without a trace.

impossible…

They can't just disappear.

Is it possible...

As if suddenly remembering something, Xia Lian rushed back to the bedroom, dragged out the toolbox next to the table, rummaged to find the shovel inside, and didn't think about how to explain to the landlord at that time, grabbed the shovel and pointed it at the head of the bed. Scratching down on the pink wallpaper with force, with a sizzling sound, a hole more than one meter long was cut in the wallpaper, and then a few more knives were made, until the rough edges that could be pulled out of the wallpaper were scratched, Xia Lian began to use his fingers to try Peel the wallpaper off the wall.

"Hoo... ho... ha... ha..."

Panting heavily, Xia Lian stepped back, threw away the shovel and scraps of paper in his hand, and looked at the scene in front of him in an unusually silent manner.

After being torn apart by him for an unknown amount of time, most of the wallpaper in the bedroom had been torn off, and the original wall covered by the pink wallpaper gradually appeared in front of him. The creepy thing is—under the wallpaper, there are one after another gray-black mold spots that look like human beings. They almost occupy the four walls of the bedroom, with hands and feet, big and small, high and low, and different postures. They surrounded Xia Lian in an extremely distorted and terrifying manner.

Xia Lian didn't know whether these mildew spots had existed since the first time he moved in, or they had gradually accumulated over the past few days, or they had crawled over from every corner of the room, including the bathroom and the living room. He took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket to check the time. It was still late at night. He didn't expect to call the landlord now to be helpful. Maybe the landlord would only notice the wall that he had completely destroyed and clamor to deduct money.

It is impossible for him to continue to sleep in the room now. Looking down at the gray-blue palm print on his leg that is more glaring because of his white skin, Xia Lian took out two large pieces of medicinal adhesive tape from the medicine box. Tear it off and stick it, out of sight, then take your mobile phone, wallet, keys and other personal belongings and go out.

where to go

Of course, I can only go to the Internet cafe to survive this terrifying night...
