After seeing someone jumping out of the window with his own eyes, Ji Leshui's mental state was not very good for a while.
Lin Banxia also saw that he was frightened, and left the night shift early for several days. In order to comfort his friend, he even cooked several meals of Ji Leshui's favorite food.
The neighbor who lived next door had been here for several days, and Lin Banxia wanted to say hello to him, but these few days, the neighbors were all in sight, so Lin Banxia had to give up.
Today Lin Banxia has to work the night shift again. Although she is a little worried, she still has to leave Ji Leshui at home alone.
As soon as Lin Banxia left, Ji Leshui immediately turned on the sound of the TV to the maximum, huddled on the sofa and didn't dare to move.
The window has been covered by twilight, and the thick clouds cover the moonlight and stars, leaving only the darkness that seems to swallow people.
The whistling cold wind blew against the glass windows. If you listen carefully, you can vaguely hear the shrill wind, like the mourning of a dying human being.
Ji Leshui began to feel cold again, and this coldness followed him like a tarsal maggot from the first day he moved into this house. At first he thought he was just suspicious, but as he lived here longer and longer, this coldness became more and more obvious.
Ji Leshui tightened the blanket covering his body, and quietly glanced at the dim living room with his peripheral vision. Probably because they just moved in, there are not many things in the house that belong to them, most of which are left to them by the previous owner.
There is only a TV, a table and a sofa in the living room. It's very simple. If only these things are there, but what makes Ji Leshui uncomfortable is a painting hanging in the corner of the living room.
That painting is a bit special. It is a woman in a red dress that fills the entire frame. At first glance, it looks like she is staring at the front with a smile, but if you look closely, you will find that the woman's face is blurred. It's like a blurry watercolor.
Ji Leshui never liked this painting very much, but after all, it was Lin Banxia's house, and he was only renting it, so he was not too embarrassed to ask for it, so he reluctantly suppressed the discomfort in his heart.
As time passed, Ji Leshui was wrapped in a blanket, and the sound of the wind howling outside the window became more and more mournful, and unconsciously fell asleep on the sofa. It's just that this sleep is not sweet, but mixed with some whispers like whispers. It seems that something is walking beside him, and his body is getting colder and colder, like sleeping in an ice cellar.
Two soft thumps, which seemed so abrupt in the silent room, Ji Leshui shivered suddenly, and was awakened from the cold by the sound. He took a few breaths and looked at the TV in front of him. All I saw was a screen of sizzling white snowflakes.
There was another thump, thump, and this time Ji Leshui heard it clearly. The sound came from the door. Ji Leshui asked vigilantly, "Who?!"
no respond.
"Who's outside??" Although something was wrong, Ji Leshui stood up, picked up the mop behind the toilet door, and walked to the door.
Dong-dong, dong-dong, there was a soft sound as if someone was knocking on the door, Ji Leshui put his face on the door and looked at the cat's eye. Through the narrow glass mirror, he saw the empty hallway.
"Who?? Who's playing a prank??" In the past, Ji Leshui would open the door with one action, but what he encountered in the past few days made him a lot more cautious. Instead of opening the door, he took a few steps back and turned towards He kicked the door heavily and shouted, "Who is outside!!!"
The knocking stopped.
Ji Leshui scolded: "Don't let me catch you, motherfucker, if I catch you, I have to beat you up!" As he spoke, he scolded and returned to the living room, but just after taking two steps, more than Light noticed something, and the whole person trembled like a sieve in an instant.
The living room is still the same as before, but there are a few things less than before. The painting hanging in the corner is only a gloomy darkness. The woman in the red dress with a melted face disappeared from the picture.
Disappeared, or left? Where is she now? Ji Leshui turned his head stiffly, and heard the sound of dong dong dong coming from the door again, as if something was knocking on the door.
"Who? Who?" Because of extreme fear, Ji Leshui's voice became hoarse. He felt that his body was made of stone, and even the simplest movement of walking was extremely difficult. Using his last strength, Ji Leshui slowly walked to the door and put his eyes on the cat's eyes again.
"It's me." A familiar voice came from outside, Ji Leshui saw Lin Banxia's face through the cat's eyes, Lin Banxia said with a smile, "I don't have the key, open the door for me."
Ji Leshui said, "Is it Pinellia?"
"It's me." Lin Banxia said, "What's wrong with you? Why is there no response after knocking on the door for so long?"
Ji Leshui said, "Is it really Pinellia?" He swallowed and put his hand on the doorknob, but suddenly remembered something and hissed, "Lin... Lin Pinxia, I will never forget it. Bring the key, you are not Lin Banxia, who are you?"
"Lin Banxia"'s smile faded, his gloomy eyes stared at Ji Leshui, his cheeks like melted candles began to distort and melt, and his voice became sharp and hideous , like a mournful night wind, he screamed, "Let me out—"
Ji Leshui let out a shrieking scream. He staggered back and tripped over the mop in his hand. He didn't even bother to stand up.
"Help, help—Banxia, help me!!!" Ji Leshui cried, like a child out of control, only the mobile phone in his hand was his life-saving straw, "There's a ghost in this house—help me! - there are ghosts and ghosts-"
Lin Banxia, who was still at work, received a call from Ji Leshui. She was stunned for a moment, then realized that the situation was not good, said hello to her colleagues, and planned to rush home immediately.
Seeing his rare flustered appearance, his colleagues asked him what was wrong.
"The friend I live with has an accident." Lin Banxia took off her gloves and whispered.
"Something happened?" the colleague said with a smile. "Has it been haunted?"
Lin Banxia glanced at her colleague.
The colleague shrugged: "I didn't mean to hear it, he was too loud."
Lin Banxia said, "He's been in a bad mood recently."
"Oh, there is no ghost in this world." The colleague said, "If there is a ghost, we can't do it in this industry."
Lin Banxia smiled and didn't speak. She went into the locker room and changed into her regular clothes, then went out and took a taxi. It only takes ten minutes from the place where he works to the community where he lives without traffic jams. He is calling Ji Leshui all the way, but the phone keeps showing that the line is busy.
Lin Banxia was a little worried. From the moment she checked in, Ji Leshui's condition was a little wrong. A few days ago, there was an illusion that someone jumped off the building.
After the taxi arrived at the destination, Lin Banxia ran towards her house. She took a breath when she reached the elevator door. After pressing down on the floor, she saw a man with a huge black box appear from outside.
This man looked very good. He was wearing a black trench coat. I don't know if it was because of the light. His skin was almost transparent, and he couldn't see a trace of blood. He wears a black holster on his right hand and carries a black case.
When the man saw Lin Banxia, he didn't react, and walked directly into the elevator. However, as soon as he entered, the elevator made a harsh overload warning sound.
Is this overloaded? Lin Banxia was slightly stunned, isn't it just two people? Could the box in the man's hand be worth the weight of several people
Before Lin Banxia could react, the man impatiently reached out and wiped the hair on his forehead, turned and walked out.
As soon as the man left, the warning sound stopped immediately. He stood outside the elevator and stared at Lin Banxia with big eyes. The situation was a little embarrassing.
"Then... I'll go first?" Lin Banxia broke the silence.
The man nodded.
Lin Banxia pressed the floor, and the elevator slowly closed between the two.
The thirteenth floor soon arrived. Lin Banxia hurriedly got off the elevator and ran to the house. She took out the key and opened the door when she heard sad sobbing from the room.
"Leshui, Leshui??" Lin Banxia searched for a while before finding Ji Leshui who was almost collapsed in the corner behind the curtains of the bedroom, "Are you alright??"
Ji Leshui choked and shivered: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts—"
Lin Banxia said, "What happened?"
Ji Leshui said: "Someone knocked on the door, someone knocked on the door, I went to open the door, but there was no one outside..." He was incoherent, and seemed to be on the verge of collapse, "Then I came back and saw that the person in the painting was gone, that is the A painting, Pinellia, Pinellia, shall we throw that painting away? It's scary!!!"
Lin Banxia froze in place.
Seeing that Lin Banxia didn't respond, Ji Leshui thought he was reluctant to bear the painting, so he shouted, "Please, throw away that painting in the living room. As soon as I arrived in this room, I felt that Something is wrong with the painting, the woman in it ran out - I don't know where it is now - why are you so reluctant to that painting, are you also bewitched by the painting??"
"It's Leshui." Lin Banxia looked at his crazy friend hesitantly, and said sternly, "There are no paintings in our living room..."
Ji Leshui stayed for a long time before he said hoarsely, "Isn't there a painting in the corner of the living room?"
Lin Banxia said, "Then... it's not a painting, it's a window."
Ji Leshui let out a shrill howl and fainted in front of Lin Banxia.
