Chi Yan suddenly woke up from the dream, unknowingly, the cold sweat had soaked into the cotton pajamas, and her heart was beating freely, like a beat of a beat.
He opened his eyes tremblingly, and saw the warm orange light of the bedside lamp, and the living room outside was also brightly lit. He reached out and touched the jade pendant hanging around his neck, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
He dreamed that he was still in college.
Chi Yan lived in a dormitory when he was studying at university. At that time, four people lived in one room, and there was no toilet in the room. The bathroom, washroom, and toilet were all located in the corridor, and there were one every few bedrooms.
He dreamed that he went out to go to the toilet, but when he came back, he found that the bedroom door was locked. He called his roommate's name, and he said "I'm Chi Yan, open the door quickly", but it didn't work.
He could hear voices in the door, and somehow he could vaguely see the scene inside the door. He saw that all three of his roommates were in the door, but there was still a "chi banquet" inside, that "chi banquet" said : "Don't open the door, the person outside is not a person."
And the roommates who got along with him day and night stood with that thing and shut him out.
"Chi Yan", who was hiding behind his roommate, seemed to see him too, suddenly raised his head at him, grinned, and smiled.
And Chi Yan was awakened at this moment.
Chi Yan is not a materialist, or he is not materialistic at all. He doesn't have supernormal abilities, and he doesn't have "yin and yang eyes" that can see ghosts and gods as depicted in the novel and TV, but he can feel the existence of those things. They peeped around, around him, full of malice.
He could sense these existences very early, but he was just afraid and never dared to tell anyone. When he was ten years old, he was pushed down the stairs of the shopping mall. Fortunately, there was no major problem, but the monitoring of the shopping mall showed that his There was no one left or right, he planted it himself. Grandma came to the hospital to take care of him, and when she changed his clothes, she found a small, almost invisible, red palm print on his back.
The grandmother was shocked, so she took this matter to heart, she personally guarded him in the ward day and night, and when his condition improved, she took him to visit a famous Taoist temple.
Chi Yan still clearly remembered that the Taoist, who could not remember his face, tied a red safety rope to his hand, and warned in a deep voice: "Stay away from those things, they want to kill you, replace it."
At that time, Chi Yan was still ignorant. After a month after returning home, the safety rope was cut in two for no reason at the end of the day. Broken.
The grandmother was shocked, and hurriedly took him to visit the previous Taoist, but the Taoist did not see them, and only let the apprentice say that Chi Yan was born weak, and his own Taoism was not enough, so he could not protect him, and asked them to hire another Gao Ming. No matter how much he begged for Taoism, he refused to see Chi Yan again, and in the end, he had no choice but to call his grandmother to talk.
After the grandmother came out, her eyes were red, and she seemed to cry. She took Chi Yan and left, and tried to ask other "high-level people", but the previous Taoist was very talented, and some Taoist temples heard that the Taoist said that he practiced Taoism. It's not enough, I didn't dare to try it at all, and they all shied away.
During that time, if his grandmother hadn't been watching over him, Chi Yan would probably have died a long time ago. And because of the previous accident in the shopping mall, he happened to rest at home, and the old man watched closely to avoid many dangers. It wasn't until later that my grandmother didn't know what she heard and asked her parents for help. She tried her best to get a piece of spiritual jade pendant that is said to be ancestral, and put it on with a safety rope for Chi Yan to wear it. The situation improved.
Chi Yan could still feel those lingering peeping sensations, and even seemed to hear the malicious and meaningless syllables they uttered, but there seemed to be a membrane that separated him from them, allowing him to escape. Those things could no longer easily approach Chi Yan, causing substantial damage to him.
But recently, the protective effect of jade seems to be weakening. Chi Yan can feel that those things are getting closer and closer to him, and they are getting more and more unscrupulous.
When he was nine years old, his parents were killed in a car accident, and he was raised by his grandparents. His grandfather died when he was a sophomore, and his grandmother also left him last fall. There is only one uncle left in the family. He was close, and even sneered at his grandmother who said that he was weak and easy to attract ghosts and ghosts, and asked people to ask around to take him to seek immortals and worship Buddha. Although he couldn't clearly stop it because of the old man, he never supported it. So now the only way to save his life is to rely on Chi Yan himself.
Fortunately, his parents left him a house deposit, and he also owns shares in his uncle's company. His grandparents had a wealthy family, and because his grandmother loved his daughter very much, he never touched the inheritance left by Chi Yan's parents, and they all helped him invest. After her grandmother died, she also left a lot of property in her name to Chi Yan, so that he would not worry about his livelihood.
Chi Yan has been living under a faint panic, worrying about dying, but not as eager to become famous as ordinary people. After graduation, he casually found a job related to his major and did it step by step.
Chi Yan took out his phone and glanced at it. It was 3:59, which was a bit weird. Every time he woke up from a nightmare, he saw the time was 3:59. However, since he was a child, he has encountered many evil spirits and ghosts. He no longer cares about these small details, and just wants not to hurt himself.
He was no longer sleepy, took out his mobile phone and swiped the frequently used APPs, watching netizens laughing, swearing, talking and laughing, watching friends sharing the short life of his parents, and suddenly felt a lot of popularity, and his blood was gradually flowing. Open, the fast beating heart slowly calmed down, as if alive again.
It was 7 o'clock in this way, and the sunlight came in through the window. Chi Yan got up just then, turned off the bedside lamp and the living room lamp, and was ready to wash.
The house his parents left for him is also in this city, but the location is overcast and the lighting is not good. Chi Yan always feels that his life is given by the sun, and only standing in the warm and bright sunshine can he feel the most relaxed and happy. , At that time, there were a lot less invisible things around, so I rented that house out, and I rented another house in Xiangyang near my unit. It is a real estate with the most yang energy and the most feng shui - ordinary people can ignore these, but Chi Yan will take it very seriously.
What is gratifying is that because of his experience from childhood to adulthood, he is now very good at identifying liars in all corners of the world. He can tell whether the other party is really talented or just swindling and cheating by saying a few words face to face.
Because of his own speciality, Chi Yan has always been more repulsive to mirrors, pools, wells and other things with heavy Yin Qi or some supernatural things. Although he knows that plastic is not good for human health, he insists on using plastic bowls and chopsticks when eating. Because the more soulless industrial synthetics are, the harder it is for those things to attach to it.
But he can't have a mirror at home, and he also needs to organize himself in front of him, so as not to go out to work and the appearance is too sloppy, so he specially asked someone to point out the most suitable place in the home to press a piece.
He came out of the shower and straightened his hair in front of the mirror, when he suddenly saw "Chi Yan" in the mirror raised his head, grinned, and smiled at him.
Chi Yan hurriedly threw down his comb, grabbed his briefcase and rushed out the door, still having lingering fears when he got into the elevator.
Fortunately, it is the morning rush hour. This community is close to the CBD. The location is prosperous, the transportation is convenient, and the rent is high. The residents are mainly office workers. The elevators are full at this time every day. The fresh breath of life once again saved Chi Yan from the fright at that moment.
He touched the jade on his neck, feeling the urgency of the matter more and more. Although there has not been any substantial damage, it is clear that the probability of encountering such strange events has increased during this period of time. Lingyu may expire sooner or later, and he must find new alternatives to protect himself before that.
Thinking of this, Chi Yan took out his mobile phone and asked for leave from the unit.
