Aoba Office

I was mentally prepared, waiting for the person to suddenly rush in front of the camera, or show some kind of scary face, or there would be some editing, and there would be a sudden scream in the video.

However, none of this happened.

The man stood by the desk, and the light illuminated half of his face. The face was ordinary, with no injuries, no blood, no missing eyes, and multiple mouths.

To me, that was a stranger.

The video ends here. You can see that as soon as the camera was pressed, the photographer became frightened and hid himself and the camera.

The next voice message played automatically, and I heard the member of the group called Flying Free in the Waves cry and say in a very low voice: "Did you see it? Oh... that's a ghost... it's a ghost..."

"Really. It's a ghost."

"No, it's not my friend. It's the previous landlord."

"People are dead. My current house is a haunted house. It's rented. It's very cheap."

"Really! This is the previous owner. When he moved in, everything was packed away."

"He was killed by a burglary."

"Ahhh...ahhhhh...oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The last message was a scream that pierced the long night, and it had the quality of a professional horror movie dubbing.

I was so frightened that my hands shook and I almost stopped holding the phone.

There was a sound of cursing outside the window. It seemed that the neighbor was woken up by the sound, and he cursed for a while.

I looked at the chat history in the group again, and someone posted a picture. It was a photo. The person in the photo is the man in the video just now.

The person who posted the photo was not Langhua, but another person who usually chatted with Langhua a lot.

"He sent it to me. This is the guy."

"He has said before that he rented a haunted house."

"Where does he live?"

"I don't know. He only said that he was in Chengxi City."

"There is a famous haunted house in Chengxi City. The owner was killed by a burglar. The case has not been solved yet."

One message after another.

Lang Hua seemed to have never sent voice messages again. The ones who spoke and sent messages were other people.

After a few messages, another video started playing automatically.

This time the background is still a room with flashing lights.

The lens seems to be covered by something, and only a little light can be seen.

The phone was picked up, and the appearance of sheets appeared in the light.

The camera continued to look up, and a red patch was seen. The red color is still spreading.

Sheets, bedding, blood... severed fingers...

My heartbeat increased, and then I saw a scene that made me want to vomit.

I saw the heart, I saw the ribs.

The cut neck...

The face that never rests in peace...

That face looks familiar to me. Langhua has posted several photos and videos in the group without hiding her appearance.

The face was now distorted.

The camera moves towards Lang Hua's eyes, getting closer and closer.

My heart was beating wildly and I wanted to turn off the video, but my hands were too weak and trembling to hold down the close button.

The lens finally stuck to Lang Hua's eyes, seeming to be tightly attached to the eyeballs.

A flash of light penetrated through the gap between the two.

I saw a man's figure in Lang Hua's pupils.

After several flashes, the man kept getting closer.

The screen eventually becomes covered with the man's face.

That face...is a smile...

I couldn't hold the phone anymore and it fell directly to the ground.

The screen fell to the ground and was not broken. The messages in the group were still playing automatically.

Voice messages came one after another. After one person screamed, another person asked nervously.

No one knows what happened.

Some people even laughed dryly and asked if it was a joke.

Some people scolded the waves for being boring and deliberately trying to scare people.

I knelt on the ground, my body shaking.

I thought about what I had just seen.

Eye to eye...

That thing and I met our eyes...

Haunted...supernatural...there is really a ghost killing people!

Christina giving a concert is nothing!

Ghost, killed someone...

I shivered even more violently, and I was sweating profusely.

I suddenly thought of my grandma who had dreamed of me.

Grandma...Grandma...

Everyone is a ghost. What if... No, no, that man died violently. How can the person who was killed be the same as the old man who died of illness?

But……

"What should I do? I saw it..."

The sound of crying came from the mobile phone, speaking my heart.

The panic has stopped, and those who are still talking now seem to believe that Lang Hua was killed by a ghost.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Will I be killed?"

"Don't be afraid. The haunted houses are full of earthbound spirits. They won't go anywhere else."

"We saw it!"

"Why didn't the group management cancel it?"

"Fuck...stop joking, okay! Who would have thought of this!"

"Don't you think he did it on purpose? He showed it to us on purpose."

"Earth-bound spirits and the like are totally unreliable. What's the point of using novels to do this!"

"Do you have any common sense? The earthbound spirit was not made up by the author of the novel. It existed a long time ago, okay! In the past, there were Taoist priests, onmyojis, and Hyakki Yakou..."

"You know those are real? Aren't they made up by people in the past?"

"You all stop arguing!"

Voices kept coming from the phone.

What usually sounds like a normal group chat turned out to be very weird this night.

My body feels very cold.

A person is in a room, the headlights are all on, it is pitch dark outside, and there are quarrels on the mobile phone...

"I think Ah Miao is right. He showed it to us on purpose. He is not necessarily...an earthbound spirit, right?"

"How many people saw it?"

"I."

"I saw it too."

There were only two responses, but many people may have typed replies in between.

I feel cold again.

I thought a little despicably that with so many people, I might not be the first one to come to them.

There's still time...

I thought about grandma again.

I glanced at the alarm clock beside my bed.

It takes two hours to get to the central green space. The central green space is at the other end of the city... No, we have to go to the cemetery first. The ashes...the crypts in the cemetery are sealed. I saw it with my own eyes during the burial. The grave where grandparents are buried together was bought by them before they were alive. They paid for it themselves, but the contact person was uncle. I'm going to get the ashes...

"Fuck!" I cursed and grabbed my hair.

No, I can't give up.

Or are you looking for something else?

Looking for someone... a Taoist priest? Monk? Or some kind of onmyoji or exorcist...

Snap.

Tears fell from my eyes.

Fear and panic made it impossible for me to stay calm.

"What's wrong with you?"

The sudden voice frightened me and I jumped up from the ground.

"ah!"

I turned my head and saw my mother holding her chest and screaming.

"What are you doing? Staying up late at night..."

"What should we do? Will we die?"

"That wicked guy Lang Hua! Why are you posting in the group?"

"We will be killed...I don't want to die..."

There was still sound coming from the phone.

Mom looked at her phone and me, with a strange look on her face.

"Mom! Save me! Grandma's ashes! I want to use grandma's ashes! No, it's not me, it's grandma! Grandma entrusted me with a dream!" I grabbed my mother's arms and said eagerly.

Good night everyone~
