- ( ) ¡ú In the continuous winter rain, the light snow on the tree-lined avenue melted early. The red maples on both sides have all fallen, and the dead branches are condensed with beads, slowly falling with the raindrops. Rin came out of her home and went out with a light blue embroidered bamboo umbrella.
The rain was not heavy, but this winter rain was extremely cold. After her mother repeatedly reminded her, Xiao Lin changed into a thicker, brown coat. Her steps were not fast, and she would inadvertently look around at the surrounding environment. Turn left in the park, and at the end of the road is a school. It is already winter vacation. Except for a lonely old gatekeeper who is still boiling water in the reception room to keep warm, the school is already quiet.
In the few years since she was gone, the town had changed so quickly that she felt a subtle sense of alienation as she was not often at home.
After being merged into Fenghua City, the town has developed rapidly in terms of economy, architecture and other aspects under the focus of policies. After several years of development, it has completely broken away from its original simplicity. There are dozens of high-rise buildings, busy roads, and two newly built schools. In many ways, it is no worse than the urban area of ??Fenghua City.
Of course, because of the merger with the city, the flow of people in the town has also increased dramatically.
Wherever there is policy support, there are opportunities for development. This kind of signal is as conspicuous in the eyes of businessmen as a beacon in navigation. With the tilt of the policy, a large amount of capital investment has gathered here. Shopping malls, hotels, supermarkets, and various facilities also popped up in a very short period of time.
¡¡
"Have you heard that something happened to Xiao Wang who was working the night shift in the supermarket last night?"
"You just know, now they are all sent to the city."
Passing by a newly opened 24-hour supermarket, two housewives beside Rin chatted while walking.
When she heard that her neighbor was lagging behind, her friend quickly added corrections. Recently, the strange things that have filled the town have spread, and there have been more and more cases of fainting. It is not surprising that residents are talking about it. Although the town is developing rapidly in all aspects, this change has not happened for too long after all, and the interpersonal relationships in the town are still much closer than those in the city.
They are still in the kind of social circle that is bound by acquaintances and relatives and neighbors.
Another housewife gave her a confused look and asked, "Why, aren't the hospitals here pretty good? Everyone goes to the town hospital for serious or minor illnesses, and the doctors are pretty good too. That's right, right?" Yes, I heard that some doctors from the city hospital were transferred here some time ago."
"Hehe, don't you know, some of the people who were admitted to the hospital have been discharged and gone home to recuperate."
"Go home to recuperate? Do you think their illness will get better?"
"How is it possible? Several people have entered the hospital now, but no one has woken up yet."
"Huh? That's why. Isn't it better to stay in the hospital? Maybe it's because my family is in trouble and I want to go home to recuperate."
"Alas" After a long sigh, the other person stopped talking. After all, it is foreseeable that many of the people hospitalized this time are from families with financial difficulties. When treatment fails and money is wasted, they will gradually be unable to support themselves.
"More annoying than I thought, what a troublesome guy."
Passing by the two of them, Rin sighed, his eyes dark.
Lifting the umbrella in his hand, he looked up at the sky. The gloomy and dense clouds lingered, and the sky was dark.
The rain is not heavy, the pattering is sparse, and the cold is still there.
¡¡¡¡
At night, the sky is hazy.
Because of the recent increasing and increasingly outrageous rumors, the residents of the small town are already worried. There were few pedestrians on the streets at night except for the vehicles passing by in a hurry. Under the street lights, Lin, wearing a brown fitted coat, slowly walked into a community.
Xinqiao District, in addition to the tree-lined community, is another resettlement area for residents of the original town.
The environment around Xinqiao District is not good. One side of the community is close to a highway intersection. You can hear the noise of vehicles passing by at high speed while sleeping in the room at night. The facilities in the community are not very complete. There are no other facilities except a small garden in front of the house. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call this place a dormitory.
Xiao Lin walked into the deserted community gate. There was no one around the garden. Through the uncurtained windows, she could see several families having dinner. A sixty-year-old man is watching TV with his granddaughter, a sensible girl is helping her mother wash the dishes, and a haggard-looking young woman is washing the old mother's feet
Xinqiao District is a resettlement community for some poor families in the town. When the government relocated these families with financial difficulties, they not only gave them houses, but also received a lot of compensation.
So, although the environment is not ideal, the residents living here are still very satisfied.
Room 308 is located on the third floor of the innermost house, and is a side room.
The windows and doors were closed, leaving no room??A slight gap.
Xiao Lin knocked on the door several times. The sound echoed in the empty corridor, but no one in the room responded.
After waiting for a while, she opened the door and entered the house.
¡¡
As soon as you enter the door, you can hear the steady tone of CCTV News Broadcast
Turn on the TV as loud as possible and close the doors and windows.
The corridor is a bit dirty and it looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a few days.
Passing by the kitchen, she paused.
The faucet that was turned to the limit was entangled with a piece of hair, and a few drops of water seeped out from time to time on the white towel.
After a few glances, Rin continued to look inside.
The hall is very messy. Dirty clothes, drunk beer bottles, food packaging bags, and all kinds of garbage are piled up in the room. Obviously, the owner here has no intention of cleaning up.
Walking through the brightly lit corridor, Rin pushed open a door that was ajar.
An ordinary bedroom, a single bed, a wardrobe, a TV cabinet, a TV a simple arrangement. The TV is obviously on, but the owner is huddled in the quilt, covering himself tightly. Even Xiao Lin didn't react at all when he came in.
"Come out, I'm not it" Looking at a young girl huddled on the bed, tightly wrapped in quilt.
Xiao Lin came to her side gently, she opened the quilt and stroked her messy hair: "Can you tell me? What happened at that time? When I came to the scene, the 'black shadow' had already Attacked Mr. Luo. I asked Mr. Huang, but he didn¡¯t know what happened before that Can we talk about it?¡±
The girl wrapped in the quilt is about seventeen or eighteen years old. If you ignore her haggard complexion and thick dark circles under her eyes, she can be said to be a beauty. But at this moment, she looked lost. When she heard the word 'black figure', her dull eyes suddenly trembled, and her body tensed up.
"Don't worryeverything will be fine, everything will be fine." Rin gently stroked her head and whispered soothing words. There was a "Requiem Curse" in her voice, which had the magical effect of calming the mind and calming the mind.
This small spell is simple but quite practical. The girl's frightened eyes slowly calmed down.
"Icough, I" Maybe she was in a nervous state and hadn't spoken for a long time. The girl's voice was dry, and she started coughing just after saying a word.
"Drink some water first, don't be in a hurry." Rin turned around and got a glass of water and handed it over.
Rin¡¯s voice is soft and quiet, with a magical power that makes people feel calm.
After drinking water and closing her eyes for a while, the girl finally slowly talked about what happened at that time.
The girl is an employee of Qingxi Hotel. She happened to be present when Manager Luo had the accident. It was probably after get off work in the morning. Manager Luo had just closed the hotel for renovations, so some of the workers had left, leaving her and the other four people to make the final arrangements.
After tidying up the room, when it was almost noon, one of them suddenly noticed something was wrong around them and shouted in horror It was then that they noticed the abnormalities around them.
It was silent. The hotel that could only be considered quiet fell completely silent, and there was no sound anymore. Apart from them, everything seemed to be shrouded in an invisible and intangible mist, as if they were far away.
"It's hard to describe that feeling It's like there is a layer of veil between you, and you can always see what is behind the veil so close to you. I feel so scared, and the people around me seem to be getting further and further away from me," said. Here, she shrank, held Xiao Lin's hand in fear, and held it hard.
¡°I¡¯m scared, scared that I¡¯ll be alone in a while, scared that something strange will come out from behind the invisible veiltear me apart, kill me, eat me, I¡¯m so scared!¡±
Before they could figure out what was going on, the 'black shadow' appeared in front of them Out of fear, she collapsed on the ground and watched helplessly as the black shadow knocked out the others. Then disappeared at the end of the corridor.
¡°I was so scared at the time that I didn¡¯t dare to move.¡±
"What happens after that? Have you seen that black figure again?"
"No." After a moment of silence, the cup she held in her hand trembled: "There's no more. I hurriedly escaped from the Qingxi Hotel and didn't dare to go back."
"That's it" Xiao Lin nodded.
At this moment, Rin, who was about to say something, suddenly saw the girl in front of him with her pupils dilated, looking motionless out of the window The water glass in her hand had fallen on the bed, wetting the dry sheets. The girl doesn't careLooking around, she firmly grasped an object like a peace charm around her neck and covered it tightly.
"¡¡¡strangeness?"
Rin turned around and could see a house opposite through the raised curtains.
Opposite the window, a black shadow was lingering at the door of a family.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it, damn it! Youdamn it"
With a whisper that sounded like a curse, a strong breath of resentment spread around.
"You all deserve to die, you all deserve to die, you all deserve to die you all deserve to die!"
From far away, that kind of strong, extremely simple resentment still reached Rin's ears, making her frown.
"It's okay, it's okay. Now you can sleep peacefully." Hugging the frightened girl, Rin increased the power of the requiem spell: "It won't hurt you, really! Go to sleep, go to sleep,"
Slowly, the girl fell asleep, but there was still some fear in her eyebrows.
"If you were given a choice, would you like to have this memory?" Rin asked in her heart, looking at the sleeping girl.
¡®Disappear, disappear! Never appear again, I wish I had never experienced this kind of thing, this damn thing. ¡¯ The sleeping girl didn¡¯t answer, but the fear in her heart was so strong.
¡®If that¡¯s the case then forget about it, just forget about this encounter. ¡¯ Rin reached out and gently touched her eyebrows, creating a barrier of common sense for her. Theoretically, everyone is likely to encounter fairies, monsters, and ghosts, but the common sense everyone has received since childhood will form a common sense barrier in his cognition, covering up any anomalies he inadvertently witnesses.
But, the barrier of common sense does not absolutely exist. Everyone accepts different knowledge. Some people believe in ghosts, some do not, and the barriers in their hearts are also different. Some people find various excuses to deny seeing ghosts and gods, while some people completely remove the barrier of common sense that restrains them after a special experience.
What Rin did at this time was to rewrite the long-broken common sense in her heart. From now on, the memories of the past may not change, but things like ghosts and ghosts are just stories to her. Her own past experiences will also be accepted by her and become events like ghost adventures.
"It's all over, you will sleep well tonight."
After being covered with a quilt by her, Xiao Lin left here calmly. She never makes choices for others, but the people in front of her have already made their own choices. Now that she has made her choice, she will help her complete it. It is better for her that the fear caused by this memory disappears.
After walking out of the room, Rin walked towards the opposite side.
She was outside the room just opposite and looked out of the window.
There is nothing unusual in the house. Inside is a mother and daughter. The mother is helping her daughter with her homework. The black shadow that was lingering outside their door has long since disappeared. Xiao Lin did not interrupt and walked towards the next place where the black shadow appeared.
¡¡
There is a house on the edge of the town, not far from Qingxi Hotel.
This family¡¯s surname is Wu.
The Wu family lives in poverty. They have an elderly father, his dead husband¡¯s daughter-in-law, and a useless grandson.
"Dad, you go to bed early, I will do these things." The daughter-in-law, who was only forty-three or four years old, looked a little haggard. , dark circles under the eyes and thick bags under the eyes. Wearing a dark blue apron, she snatched a bamboo basket that was being weaved from her stubborn father's hands.
"Ahem! You go to bed first. You are tired from working all day long. Although I am old, I am still useful." The old man is nearly seventy years old, and his originally straight back has been bent by the heavy life. The dark cheeks are marked with the traces of time, and even more marked with his stubbornness.
His wife died more than ten years ago, and his son died in an accident not long after. The orphans and widows left behind live in poverty, and the old man manages to maintain this broken home by relying on the bamboo weaving skills he learned when he was young.
"Dad, it's okay. I'm in good health recently, so you can go to sleep first."
"Well, then you should go to bed early." Unable to stand up to his wife, the old man slowly walked into his room.
The daughter-in-law took over the bamboo basket that the old man was weaving and started weaving it skillfully.
Under the dim light, the already sleepy wife squinted her eyes and stretched, then threw herself into it again.
The orange lights slowly turned white
??????Orange-red¡orange-yellow¡white!
Pale!
Unlike the warm colors of incandescent lamps, this was a color that made people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts. She had never seen it before, but it was so uncomfortable.
Feeling wrongThe excited wife tightened her tight clothes, raised her head and looked up, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat!
Not far away, outside the old man¡¯s room, a dark thing was trying to get in!
¡°Ahhhhhh!!!¡± After screaming for a while, the daughter-in-law suddenly rushed into the old man¡¯s room.
"Dad! Wake up, there is something dirty in the room! Wake up!" Ignoring the danger, she rushed forward and shouted loudly from the house.
The black shadow ignored her and slowly walked towards the house.
The old man had already fallen asleep. He was extremely tired and did not wake up even when his wife screamed. But the son in the other room had already woken up: "Mom, what are you doing? You don't let people sleep at night!"
"Hurry up and run out of the house, there is something dirty in the room!" The mother shouted immediately when she saw her son.
"What a dirty thing, don't be so superstitious, okayahhhhhh!!" The boy who was rubbing his sleepy eyes finally saw the strange thing, his sleepiness disappeared immediately, and he broke out in a cold sweat. After a panicked exclamation, he hurriedly ran out of the house.
"Don't come back until the sun comes up!" Mother shouted and stood in front of the black shadow.
"Bless the gods, bless the gods." Due to panic, she instinctively grabbed the amulet she had gone to a small temple in the mountains to beg for a few days ago. Holding the amulet, she prayed loudly.
A strange thing happened. The black shadow shook and stopped in place.
After a while, it slowly disappeared.
After the strange thing left, she collapsed on the ground, covering the crumpled talisman blankly.
¡°Did the gods bless me?!¡±
? **
There was a pair of eyes watching the scene in front of her, and Rin focused her eyes on the amulet in her hand.
After a long time, she looked away and squinted in confusion.
"This amulet? It seems a bit familiar." - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
