Chapter 5: The familiar knocker

Views:

During the whole day, Xia Lian didn't know how he wandered past in the company, maybe because his complexion looked worse than the previous few days, the colleague next to him couldn't help asking about his physical condition, and waved his hand saying that he was fine He explained that it was just that the air conditioner was blowing too much and he caught a cold, which made the colleagues no longer curious to explore.

Obviously it's the time to get off work, and the moment everyone looks forward to the most in a day is also the time when Xia Lian is very resistant. I opened the drawer, looked at the wooden boxes and utensils inside, and unknowingly bought it with cash from my grandmother’s extremely enthusiastic sales promotion. Although I don’t know if it was a scam just happened to happen, the money was spent in a daze. Going out, obviously I usually save so much, but at this juncture, it is not the time to save money.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Lian nervously hugged a pile of papers he bought from a stationery store, wiped the sweat on his trousers repeatedly with his palms, and then mustered up the courage to take out the key and unlock the door. The inside of the house was still as chaotic as before he escaped. The broken wallpaper from the bedroom to the living room, into the bedroom, the walls are still covered with human-shaped mildew that has not disappeared, surrounding him.

Putting down the things in the house, Xia Lian immediately pushed the wooden box away, took out a scarlet incense stick from inside, lit it with a lighter, and put it into the silver utensil. The ignited white smoke slowly drilled out along the gaps of the horizontal bars of the appliance. The light fragrance is like some unknown flower. It smells neither greasy nor powdery. It makes people feel much calmer after smelling it. Originally Xia Lian thought it would be the traditional sandalwood smell, but it was not.

After lighting the incense, Xia Lian gained some confidence, spread the thick roll of paper he bought on the ground, and planned to stick the surrounding walls again, otherwise he would really not be able to sleep at night, and it would be very scary to look at. It’s not that he didn’t think about staying in a hotel temporarily or asking friends for help, but the friends he knows are not in the city, it’s a bit too troublesome to bother them specifically, and it’s heartbreaking to go to the hotel for a while, thinking about it, it’s nearly 500 yuan and bought all the incense , let's try the effect first, it would be best if it is really useful. If the incense doesn't work, think about what to do the next day.

The thick kraft paper I bought neatly covered the walls of the bedroom. In order to paste all four walls, Xia Lian tossed and tossed for several hours before it was truly completed. Before dinner was ready, Xia Lian took a casual shower, ate a few mouthfuls of bread hurriedly grabbed from a convenience store, and decided to close his eyes to rest. This time the bedroom lights were on and he didn't dare to turn them off. Xia Lian, who was tense for a long time, quickly fell asleep.

*****

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The rapid knocking on the door woke up Xia Lian, who was in a deep sleep and finally did not fall into a dark nightmare. Blinking slowly and bluntly, Xia Lian stared at the headlight that was not turned off, his head was still a little unresponsive for a moment, he got up in a daze, put on his shoes and walked to the entrance without thinking of checking the time .

"Who?" Knocking on the door in the middle of the night, could it be because he didn't turn off the bedroom light? That's a bit ridiculous, Sha Lian asked with a yawn as he shook his dizzy head.

"I~"

"!" Xia Lian stopped yawning halfway when he heard the voice immediately responding from outside the door. Of course, he could recognize who this very familiar voice was.

"...Huang Hao?"

"Yes, it's me~"

Looking closer to the cat's eye, the door was really Huang Hao, a classmate and good friend who hadn't seen each other since graduation. Xia Lian unlocked the door, and pulled the door open: "Why are you here suddenly? It's the middle of the night. "

"Didn't I worry about you after talking to you, so I asked for leave and rushed over here. How could I care about the current time, let me let it go."

Letting Huang Hao into the living room sideways, Xia Lian's head was still dazed, just watching Huang Hao walk around the living room very naturally, observing and looking at his rental house.

"What's going on? Did you see a ghost?"

"Don't mention it, I don't know what I ran into. You won't believe me when I tell you." Xia Lian replied to Huang Hao's question, raising his hand and rubbing his swollen forehead.

"Yes, why don't I believe it? I'm your good brother~ Wait, what's the matter with your hand?" Huang Hao asked only after noticing that there seemed to be something wrong with Xia Lian's hand.

"Hands?" Xia Lian looked at his hands blankly. The ten fingertips have been stained with a layer of gray-blue color since some time ago, which is exactly the same color as the mark on his ankle after being caught. How could this be? What? Was it because he accidentally touched those human-shaped mildew spots when he tore off the wallpaper

He tried to wipe it off on his clothes, but the gray-blue color seemed to be imprinted in his flesh, which could not be wiped off at all. Didn't he light incense? Why did the situation become more serious? Did he really meet a liar? Xiang couldn't solve his current situation at all.

"Come on, let me take a look." Huang Hao approached Xia Lian, grabbed Xia Lian's hand and held it up in front of his eyes for observation: "It's so pitiful, it's all infected by Wu Hui."

"Wu Hui?" Huang Hao, who was standing in front of him and still grasping his hands to observe at a close distance, his eyes in the dark and backlit environment suddenly flashed a reflective red, and the conversation that felt a little strange just now, Xia Lian tried to pull his hand back.

"Who are you?"

"Me? I'm Huang Hao, are you confused?" Tilting his head and smiling at Xia Lian, Huang Hao replied.

"No, you're not." Pulling his hands back forcefully, finally freeing his hands, Xia Lian stepped back a few steps, his back almost touching the wall, staring at Huang Hao's face vigilantly and asked: "You Who is it?"

He shouldn't have opened the door in a daze, the guy in front of him is definitely not Huang Hao, he should have thought earlier, how could Huang Hao come to him so quickly, he obviously has his own life, work and girlfriend, but on such a night When he came to his house, what did he let in

"Then guess who I am?" Chichi chuckled, his voice distorted from Huang Hao's original normal voice to an unusually slow and ear-grinding hoarse voice. Huang Hao's head slowly moved up and down at first, then his neck made a clicking sound, and suddenly turned 180 degrees, and his whole head was turned to the back.

"!" Looking at the person he was familiar with before, his head suddenly turned to an angle that is impossible for humans, and Xia Lian's breath was held in his throat.

I saw that the back of the head was still moving left and right, and the speed was almost fast, and there was an afterimage. From the hair on the back of the head, a palm suddenly stretched out, and the palm stretched into an arm, and then stretched out a hand from the head, Two hands grasped the head and tore it to the sides forcefully, the blood flowed profusely, gushing out, rushing down the hole in the head, flowing down through the body, and dripping to the floor of the living room. And the owner of those hands crawled out of the hole in the skull, with extremely slender arms, and a black, triangular, pointed head dripping with unknown liquid, lying on the ground like a giant mixed with human parts. grasshopper.

Not just one, a few strange human figures with slender hands and feet bent on the ground crawled out from the brain hole of the still standing human body. Although they looked almost human, their voices were still laughing Same as humans.

"Xia Lian, we are Huang Hao, why don't you recognize us?"

"Hahahaha… "

"Don't be afraid~"

Watching these unknown creatures crawling closer and closer to him, Xia Lian turned around and wanted to rush out the door, but saw the split-headed man who was standing straight in the direction of the living room. , blocking his way of escaping. He could only turn around and retreat to the side. Seeing that he was surrounded by these unknown monsters, his head was dizzy, but he staggered and stepped on the thick plasma on the ground, and passed out the moment he slipped and fell.

"Hey, hello? Fainted?" Seeing that Xia Lian fainted and didn't respond anymore, the messy thick blood plasma and crawling monsters on the ground instantly disappeared, and the split-headed man standing at the door spitting out blood faded away as if shed his skin Disguised by the outer layer of Huang Hao's human skin, he turned into a tall man. He squatted beside Xia Lian and pushed Xia Lian's shoulder. Seeing that there was really no movement, he stretched out his hand and pinched Xia Lian's chin to have a look. He noticed that Xia Lian's ear was already burning crimson. It depends on the situation. Wu Hui had already infected him to the point of fever and coma.

"It's really troublesome." After staring at Xia Lian for a while, the man chose to easily pick up Xia Lian who was on the ground, turned around and walked into the bedroom, and threw him on the bed.
