Yao Jie lay on the side of the wall and listened for a while, and could hear voices coming from the next room intermittently, as if talking, and as if something was moving.
However, they would hear this sound from time to time when they lived next door. When they checked in the past, they found nothing. It has been more than once or twice.
After listening for a while, nothing came from next door.
Yao Jie said: "Maybe the medicine is working."
Huang Guiping also leaned on the wall and listened for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, it should be fine."
Yao Jie took a long breath, sat back on the sofa, lighted a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath, and breathed out white smoke after a long time, but there was not much.
It can be seen that he almost inhaled the smoke into his lungs. Yao Jie's face was slightly sallow, and his health seemed to be not very good. Because of his daughter’s illness, he was anxious all day, unable to sleep at night, and couldn’t seek medical attention. For a long time, he could only use Smoking relieved.
He sometimes thinks about when he might also change into schizophrenia.
The house was supported by his wife, Huang Guiping took care of all the chores in the house, and ran in and out without any complaints.
In fact, Yao Jie knows very well that his wife’s pressure is not less than that of herself, but Huang Guiping doesn’t think deeply about everything. If she has problems, she will try to solve them. She has no time or energy to think about herself. Why are you so tired, no time to complain about your life.
Asking his wife to sit on the other side of the sofa, Yao Jie took out the cigarette from his mouth and placed it on the ashtray, gently rubbing his shoulders as Huang Guiping sideways.
"Thanks! I'll wash the bowls in the kitchen later. You can boil water and soak your feet and go to bed early tonight."
"It's okay." Huang Guiping shook her head.
Suddenly her eyes reddened, she reached out her hand to wipe away the tears that were about to shed, and whispered: "Tongtong didn't wear shoes or socks just now. Her feet were almost frozen to bruise."
Yao Jie's expression was low, rubbing her shoulders lightly for her, without speaking.
"Let's take her over and live together." Huang Guiping couldn't help but said.
Yao Jie shook his head flatly, stopped squeezing her shoulders, and said: "No! You forgot? Every night after falling asleep, someone has been standing by the bed watching us. You forgot to open the refrigerator door to see the child's head Already? Have you forgotten that there is always someone under the sofa pulling our ankles? Have you forgotten the horrible look in Tongtong's schizophrenic eyes?"
When the words were over, Yao Jie shook his head again, "No, for your safety, for you not to be frightened every day, Tongtong can only live next door."
"What the hell is she getting entangled in?!" Huang Guiping lowered her head in a sad voice, and soon started sobbing.
Yao Jie didn't speak, but with a bitter face, he picked up the cigarette on the ashtray again and took a hard sip.
He knew very well in his heart that after Yao Tong's illness, the area where those things appeared was not limited to the next room.
If Yao Tong is willing, these weird and inexplicable things can easily appear in any corner of the next room.
wrong!
Yao Jie slowly shook her head while thinking. It was Tongtong who was subconsciously controlling her own thoughts and not letting those things disturb us. She might try her best to stop all of this.
It's just that Yao Jie also knows that his daughter's energy is always limited, and he and his wife have formed a habit. Whenever there is a place in the house where they live, they will directly avoid or ignore it.
Up to now, this has formed a conditioned reflex for Yao Jie and Huang Guiping, and they will subconsciously take the initiative to avoid.
After comforting Huang Guiping again, Yao Jie went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Huang Guiping soaked her feet and called the daughter next door.
But no one answered over there.
This is already the norm. Girls and children do not answer the phone almost half of the time. She is very sensitive to the ringing of the phone and dislikes it very much, so the vibration of the mobile phone is basically adjusted.
After the vibration, they often missed the call. The couple listened for a while with their ears erected. They didn't feel relieved until they heard the sound of walking next door.
At present, on this floor of this building, apart from Yao's house, there is only one family living near the stairs. Other families have moved out long ago, and these rooms have been empty.
So the building is very quiet at night.
The couple lay down one after another. Yao Jie couldn’t fall asleep, leaned against the bed, unknowingly took a cigarette from the bedside table and put it in his mouth. When he was about to light it, he suddenly reacted and put the lighter aside , Without a cigarette, just dang it in his mouth.
His wife was tired for a day, and he was afraid that smoking would affect her sleep, so he just got addicted by smoking cigarettes in his mouth.
If he really wanted to smoke, he would go to the balcony outside.
Although Huang Guiping had something on her mind, she didn't think too much about it. She turned over and fell asleep quickly.
Yao Jie sighed softly, and his head was filled with pictures of girls and children, from being well-behaved and pleasant when he was a child, to being sensible and considerate and serious, and then to his heart-wrenching and pitiful appearance.
Yao Jie felt his heart dripping, and his head was numb, unable to calm down and think, panting heavily.
He has been very sensitive since he was a child, and Tongtong may have inherited Yao Jie's character. He has been sensitive and suspicious since he was a child. He has to figure out everything, otherwise he can't sleep at night.
Little do they know that this approach has laid hidden dangers for the current encounter.
"Ugh-"
Yao Jie sighed slightly, took the cigarette from his mouth, and put it sideways on the bedside table.
At this moment, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a figure standing outside the balcony of the bedroom.
Because the street lights on the street penetrated in, the silhouettes of the people outside can also be seen clearly.
But only the outline can be seen, not the facial features of this person.
The slender figure stood motionless outside the window near the balcony, like a sculpture.
Yao Jie thought he had seen it wrong, rubbed his eyes, sat up from the cock, and then he was sure that it was a figure, and it looked like his daughter.
It's just that now the daughter should be next door, it is impossible to pass through the wall suddenly, and she arrives to stand on the balcony.
For a long time, Yao Tong’s symptoms after schizophrenia have been conjectured to some weird, weird, and terrifying things, but not once it was related to herself.
That is to say, no matter how horrible and bizarre, she herself can't have weird abilities and can pass through walls.
Yao Jie did not wake his wife, got out of bed lightly, and walked to the door of the bedroom balcony. He did not open the balcony door to check outside because of curiosity. Instead, he pulled the door handle and closed the balcony door instead. , And locked the lock.
Because of previous encounters, the couple suffered terrible frights more than once, so the current action is their subconsciously avoiding the terrorist situation.
It is precisely because of this that Yao Jie and Huang Guiping are much less scared by strange events.
After closing the balcony door, Yao Jie tried the door lock again and was sure that it could not be opened. Then he returned to the bed. When he was about to sit down, a rustling sound came from the living room.
Hearing this sound, it seemed that someone was using both hands and feet, crawling on the ground outside the living room, the crawling speed did not rush.
Yao Jie was shocked. Since his daughter moved to live next door, this situation has not been seen for a long time. He almost reflexively walked to the door of the bedroom, without paying attention to what was happening outside the living room, what was crawling. , Reached out again to close the bedroom door and locked it.
I looked back at the bed. Although it was dark, the couple had stuffed a lot of big boxes filled with old books and newspapers underneath earlier. The space under the bed was full, even if a mouse couldn’t get in, let alone people. .
Returning to the ** and sitting down, Yao Jie's heartbeat was very fast, and his wife heard a sound of even breathing beside him, and did not wake up.
There are still creeping sounds outside the living room from time to time, but it is not close to the bedroom door.
Yao Jie was lying half-hearted, turning his head to look at the direction of the balcony from time to time, and found that the thin figure of the suspected daughter was still standing outside, and looked at the door of the bedroom leading to the living room from time to time.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
I don't know when, when there was no other abnormal noise, Yao Jie closed his eyes and fell asleep.
In a daze, he seemed to hear something, but his eyes could not be opened.
He heard the door opening, and then the sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the balcony.
Not long after, a voice approached his ear, whispering softly: "Dad."
Yao Jie was startled and suddenly opened his eyes. He looked sideways. There was nothing beside the bed. When he saw that the balcony door was still closed, it didn't seem to have been opened.
And the thin black shadow that I saw just now outside the balcony has also disappeared.
Knowing that he might have had a nightmare, he rolled over with lingering fears, ready to go to sleep.
However, after turning over, Yao Jie's eyes suddenly widened, staring at the place where his wife was lying next to him, and found that there was no one here, and Huang Guiping was missing.
Looking at the door from the bedroom to the living room again, I don't know when it has been opened.
Yao Jie quickly sat up, put on his slippers, and walked out of the bedroom lightly.
He didn't want to call his wife aloud before the matter was figured out, so as not to be stared at him by other things.
When I came to the bedroom door, because the street lights on the street were very bright, I could see it even without turning on the lights, but it was dim.
Everything in the living room seemed normal, but Yao Jie was even more surprised that the door of the living room was also open.
This scene scared him enough, and quickly walked over, preparing to close the door, but was afraid that his wife had gone out alone, so worried, he went out to take a look.
In the corridor at this time, there is a cool wall lamp that is always on. This kind of lamp is almost used for lighting and the brightness is not high.
At this look, there was nothing in the corridor, Yao Jie had to stand out again, and saw that the door to the daughter's room next door was also open.
Seeing this scene makes Yao Jie feel very embarrassed. Because of the horrible situation he has encountered in the past, he has instinctively resisted this scene. If he wants to follow it, he will definitely have a bye at home. It's hard to tell what has slipped in.
But if he didn't take a look at it, he was afraid of what would happen to his wife, and if the door to his daughter's room opened, there might have been a problem, which made him uneasy.
But if you go straight, the risk of encountering terror will be great.
After thinking about it, he still decided to open the door of his own room. After making sure that it could not be closed, he creptly walked towards the door of his daughter's room.
Unexpectedly, on the side of my daughter's room, there was a faintly bright book lamp on the table. This book lamp seemed to be the kind used for charging. At this moment, the light was dim and it should be almost out of power.
In front of the square table by the window, the wife is standing on the side of the square table with her back facing the door. She seems to be focused on something. She wears slippers on her feet, and her standing posture is stable. It doesn't look any strange.
Sitting on the left side of the square table are girls and children. At this moment, Yao Tong looks focused, as if listening to something.
As for a young stranger sitting on the right side of the square table, talking, but the mother and daughter did not make a sound, obviously listening to each other carefully.
The man spoke in a very small voice, and standing at the door, he could only see his lips squirming, and could not hear anything.
Yao Jie looked at the watch on his wrist in amazement. It was already one o'clock in the morning, and he walked over quietly, standing on the right side of Huang Guiping, looking at the strange man.
The strange young man looked up at him. Huang Guiping had already taken Yao Jie's hand and said: "This is a Mr. Yin and Yang, saying that he is staying in the hotel opposite our house. I found that the house was full of black air, so I took advantage of it. Come and have a look at night."
"How did you know?" Yao Jie asked in confusion.
"Tongtong told me." Huang Guiping said, and then added another sentence, "In my dream just now."
"Dream?" Yao Jie looked at his daughter in surprise.
At this time, the young man said to Yao Jie: "I found that your daughter's mentality is very strong and obviously out of control. This will bring you unpredictable danger."
"Wait." Yao Jie said in surprise: "Are you Mr. Yin Yang? How do you call you?"
"My name is Shen." This young man is Shen Xing.
This evening, he had been observing the movement here, and he simply entered the building after midnight, and immediately found a large amount of red aura wandering inside the building with his different pupils.
However, these red scents are mainly concentrated in the room where Yao Tong is located. Several nearby rooms also have sporadic red scents, but the most obvious red is Yao Tong herself.
Through Shen Xing's observation, Yao Tong's appearance is no different from that of human beings. At most, his body is weak and mentally unstable.
Because Yao Tong usually dozes a little, the girl was not asleep when he knocked on the door. After explaining that he could help the other person, Yao Tong was surprised and opened the door without any precautions.
He chose to contact Yao Tong directly because Shen Xing is also looking for a way to solve this anomaly. He must first find out the characteristics of the opponent, and this time period is when his characteristics are frequent, and he also understands his characteristics. The perfect timing.
However, after entering the room, Shen Xing found that the red aura he had just seen had all disappeared at this moment.
After talking to the girl for a while, I found that she was actually very good at talking, but she would be neurotic from time to time.
Not only that, during this process, without using a different pupil, Shen Xing always felt that someone in this room was either staring at him or walking back and forth somewhere, but it was invisible to the naked eye.
If this is the case, it is indeed an unimaginable torture for the family who lives with Yao Tong. (End of this chapter)
