Ai Yun closed the refrigerator and said helplessly: "There are only instant noodles. It seems that I have to buy groceries."
Before going out, Ai Yun hung the clock back on the wall, but he couldn't get it straightened. After working on it for a long time, Ai Yun lost his temper and let the clock hang crookedly on the wall. Turning around, she saw the music box on the table.
Luo Yan did not sleep well this night. In his dream, he saw a huge beast with a blurred face and its whole body on fire, biting Jin Shuang. The shattered Jin Shuang screamed repeatedly and shouted to Luo Yan: "Don't listen..."
Luo Yan was awakened by a nightmare. It was already noon and the room was unusually quiet. He recalled what Jin Shuang said to him last night.
Don't listen? Could it be... that music box? What's wrong with this music box
Luo Yan immediately sat up from the bed and groped around for a long time, but there was no trace of the music box. on the table! Luo Yan remembered that he was too tired at the time and did not put the box away. He walked out of the bedroom, and the living room was unexpectedly quiet.
The curtains were closed again at some point, and the lights were not turned on. Even though it was daytime, the entire living room was shrouded in darkness. Luo Yan saw Ai Yun sitting stiffly at the table with his back to him.
"Ai Yun?" Luo Yan shouted, but the other party did not respond.
The sound of winding up. There's a music box on the table!
"Don't listen!"
Jin Shuang's words flashed through his mind. Luo Yan immediately rushed to Ai Yun. The other person's expression was blank, and his hand was still turning the clockwork mechanically. Luo Yan felt that the air around him had turned cold. He did not dare to hesitate, grabbed Ai Yun's hand, and dropped the music box to the ground. Ai Yun looked at Luo Yan as if she had just woken up from a dream, and said, "Why did you get up just after you lay down?"
Luo Yan didn't answer him. He saw the handle on the music box starting to turn back. He suddenly had a bad premonition. Although he didn't want to believe in strange things, he still said to Ai Yun: "Follow me!" Without the other party responding, Luo Yan had already dragged Ai Yun out of the room. Take the gate to death and run all the way from the twelfth floor to the first floor.
Running to the lawn downstairs, Luo Yan sat down on the ground, breathing heavily. Ai Yun had enough time to look up at the sky and murmured: "The sun is so high at eight o'clock in the morning?" Looking at his watch again, Ai Yun was surprised: "It's already past 1 o'clock?"
"Same as my previous experience!"
Luo Yan immediately realized something. Could it be that the music box had the ability to confuse people? But this is too incredible. Luo Yan shook his head, trying to wake himself up.
Looking at Luo Yan's frightened expression, Ai Yun asked: "What on earth is going on?"
Luo Yan slowly calmed down his heartbeat and stopped thinking about the music box left in the room. He stood up and said to Ai Yun: "Let's go for a walk outside. It's been a long time since we walked together."
Ai Yun smiled and walked out side by side with Luo Yan.
The moment the two left the apartment, a figure appeared on the balcony. The man bowed and sneaked into the bedroom, looked around, and then walked toward the living room. It wasn't until he confirmed that no one was in the apartment that he straightened up. He put his hands on the table, as if thinking about something, and the music box on the ground caught his attention. The man was overjoyed and was about to pick it up. Before I could touch the box, the music box rang.
From the moment he heard the first note, the man's eyes suddenly showed extreme fear.
"So... do you think Jin Shuang's death is related to this music box?" Ai Yun said.
Luo Yan nodded and said: "Jin Shuang asked me to return the music box to a place before he died, and warned me never to listen to the sound in the music box."
"Why is this?" Ai Yun asked curiously.
Luo Yan also shook his head and said: "I don't know why, but I always think this music box is weird. Especially when I saw you winding it up, I suddenly felt very uneasy."
Ai Yun also frowned and said: "When I saw the music box, I felt that my mind went blank, and I gradually had the urge to listen to it. When I woke up, the time suddenly changed from eight in the morning to one in the afternoon... Is that music box something unclean?"
This was the same as Luo Yan's situation, but he did not say it out loud, but said comfortingly: "Maybe it's just a psychological effect."
Luo Yan didn't want Ai Yun to worry too much. Before the situation was clarified, unfounded speculation would only disturb people's minds. He deliberately changed the topic and smiled at Ai Yun: "I was originally planning to try your cooking, but it seems I can only condescend to eat out today. Come on, I'll treat you!"
Luo Yan and Ai Yun were walking side by side on the street. As the topic changed, they gradually began to laugh. To others, they looked like a dating couple.
The restaurants recommended by Luo Yan are very good. The unique sea views of coastal cities are perfectly reflected here, and the chef here is good at Huaiyang cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, which just caters to the tastes of Luo Yan and Ai Yun. Ai Yun saw Luo Yan ordering in a serious manner and asked, "Not bad, remember that I like to eat Sichuan food."
"Is there any?" Luo Yan lowered his head calmly, the menu just blocking his face.
Ai Yun smiled secretly.
It was a pleasant meal, and the warm atmosphere diluted the mysterious atmosphere of the day.
Back at the apartment, as soon as Luo Yan opened the door, he heard Ai Yun's scream from behind him.
"What's wrong?" Luo Yan's heart was lifted instantly, and he looked at Ai Yun. The latter was unharmed, but his expression was horrified. One hand tremblingly pointed to the living room inside the door. Luo Yan looked in the direction of Ai Yun's finger.
There is someone in my apartment!
An uninvited guest in black clothes was lying in the room. The ground was a shocking red. The clock that was originally on the wall fell to the ground, with little scarlet stains on it. Luo Yan shouted twice, but there was no response from the other party. Luo Yan noticed that the man's face was so pale that he had a panicked expression on his face, his eyes were wide open, his pupils were dilated, and his whole face looked extremely horrifying.
"How's it going?" Ai Yun asked hiding behind the door.
Luo Yan sighed and said, "Dead."
He accidentally left the music box on the table and felt an inexplicable chill in his heart again.
