Non-humans want to be friends with me

The alarm clock rang for the third time before Fu Zhouhan struggled to sit up from the bed with half-closed eyes.After working for a month, his body had already formed inertia. Fu Zhouhan was not fully awake yet, but he didn't delay washing up at all.

When he went out, Fu Zhouhan was still in a trance due to lack of sleep.The bus arrival reminder on the mobile phone showed that the fastest bus would arrive in 10 minutes, so he was not in a hurry and locked the door slowly.

Fu Zhouhan rented a self-built house, saying it was a single room with kitchen and bathroom, but the area was pitifully small.The house looks dirty because of its old age, and the room lighting is not good, and it is an hour's drive from here to the company.

In general, apart from being cheap, this house has no other advantages.But for a college student who has just entered the society, this is already a house with fairly good overall conditions.

The house has five floors in total. There is no elevator. The top floor is a rooftop, and Fu Zhouhan lives in the innermost room on the fourth floor.The rooms in this building are arranged in the shape of a "back", except for the windows in each room and the corner, there is no place to see light, so the corridors are a little dark, but the road can still be seen clearly.

It was not yet eight o'clock, many people hadn't woken up from their dreams, and it wasn't a busy city, so the surrounding area was quiet.

The dark and narrow corridors are mixed with faint musty smells, which strongly stimulate people's brains.Although he passed this corridor every day, Fu Zhouhan still swallowed unconsciously, and then quickly walked through the corridor.

When he reached the corner, it was very bright. Fu Zhouhan took a deep breath, walked down the stairs, and when he reached the intersection of the stairs on the 4th floor and the 3rd floor, he saw a leather shoe.

These shoes are [-]% to [-]% new. The style is a bit retro, but they look quite fashionable. It is unlikely that someone littered them here.Fu Zhouhan thought of a black cat who was raised by someone in this building. He was not afraid of strangers and often wandered around.He thought that the shoe must have been picked up by a cat, so he curled his lips and walked away.

This was just an episode in the morning, Fu Zhouhan didn't take it to heart at all.When the day's work was over, he packed his desk, punched his card, and walked out of the company with his colleague Du Le, talking and laughing.

Fu Zhouhan and Du Le entered the company at about the same time. They were in the same department, and they were the only males in the department other than the director. Home.

Their company is on the 4th floor. It is faster and more convenient to take the stairs than to wait for the elevator during the rush hour.Fu Zhouhan gestured to Du Le with his eyes, and said, "Let's take the stairs!"

Du Le responded and said, "Let's go."

The two went down one floor, and Fu Zhouhan was stunned as soon as he lowered his head. There was a shoe in front of his foot, which was exactly the same as the one he saw this morning!

Du Le pushed Fu Zhouhan and asked, "What are you doing so stupidly?"

Fu Zhouhan pointed to the shoes on the ground and said, "Look at this, isn't it a bit strange?"

In the past two years, the retro style has been popular, and classical elements have been used in clothes, shoes and bags, but the style of shoes he saw in the morning is really unique, so it left an impression in his heart.Now I saw the same model again, and it was also a single one, so I was unavoidably surprised.

Du Le looked at the dirty ground and frowned suspiciously: "Probably the new cleaning lady only sweeps the stairs once a week, or it rained only two days ago, so there's a lot of mud. But it's still normal, right? Nothing strange."

Fu Zhouhan was startled, and asked, "You...can't you see anything else?"

Du Le opened his eyes and looked closely, but he didn't find anything special, so he spread his hands helplessly: "You are embarrassing me for my short-sightedness. I can't even see cigarette butts clearly without glasses."

Du Le couldn't see such a big shoe? !Fu Zhouhan took a deep breath, and all kinds of ghost stories that he heard from the old people in the village when he was a child suddenly appeared in his mind.He stretched his long legs, stepped over his shoes and ran downstairs.

Shouting while running: "Hurry up, let's catch the earliest train."

"What's the hurry, the subway interval is so short." Although he muttered, Du Le followed quickly.

Fu Zhouhan ran to the second floor, and when he turned around to see Du Le following him, he was relieved.But then, he saw that the shoe was also "da da da" following, and even quickly overtook Du Le, running straight towards him.

He stared in horror, then ran downstairs with his feet loose, ran to the subway station without thinking about anything, and squeezed into the crowd.

When he arrived at the subway station, Fu Zhouhan panted, propped his legs with his hands, and looked behind him frequently, but he didn't see that weird shoe again.He took out his phone and saw the message Du Le sent him on WeChat.

[Du Le: Why are you running so fast?Even being chased by ghosts can't run at your speed. 】

Seeing that sensitive word, Fu Zhouhan's pupils shrank.He has always been fearless, but he is only afraid of ghosts.The reason is probably because his hometown is more respectful of ghosts and gods, and there are all kinds of strange stories and legends, and it is inevitable to feel frightened after hearing too much.

And more than ten years ago, supernatural events really happened in their village.Although it's been a long time, it left a deep impression on Fu Zhouhan.Since then, he has had a problem with ghosts.

Fu Zhouhan couldn't really say that he had seen a ghost, so he lied, and after replying to Du Le, he got on the subway home.He couldn't stop thinking "prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law" in his heart.

After chanting, he began to find reasons to convince himself: "Hearing is delusion, seeing is not necessarily believing. I must have slept too late playing games last night, and lack of sleep caused some dizziness. As intellectuals in the 21st century, we We should advocate science and oppose feudal superstition!"

"Yes! I must have read it wrong!"

After such self-consolation, Fu Zhouhan's heart calmed down.The subway is full of people, very crowded, but this makes him feel more at ease.

After the subway arrived at the terminal station, Fu Zhouhan needed to transfer to the bus.It was also a coincidence that he was able to catch up, and there was still a seat to sit.It's just that when I was halfway, I encountered a car accident, and the traffic jam made me doubt my life. The bus could not enter or retreat.

The sky was getting dark, thinking about what happened today, Fu Zhouhan didn't dare to stay outside, so he found a shared bicycle and rode home.When he got home, it was already dark, and the supper stalls downstairs had also been set up, so he packed a portion of stir-fried noodles and went straight upstairs.

When he reached the third floor, Fu Zhouhan subconsciously stopped, not seeing anything extra in the stairwell.Even walking up to the 3th floor, the landlord was still sitting in front of the table placed on the stairs, playing with the computer when he saw Fu Zhouhan say hello.

As long as there are people around, Fu Zhouhan will feel more at ease. He smiled and said hello to the landlord, then went back to his room and locked the door behind him.The sound insulation of the houses here is very poor, and he can clearly hear the sound of others playing the TV, and some people are singing like ghosts and wolves.

Normally, Fu Zhouhan would feel upset, but today, he was eating fried rice noodles with peace of mind just by these noisy voices.The noise in my ears was indescribably sweet.

After dinner, Fu Zhouhan was not in the mood to do other things. He took a shower early and lay down on the bed to play with his mobile phone, planning to go to bed early today.

Fu Zhouhan fell asleep around ten o'clock, and he didn't know how long he had slept, when he heard a hasty knock on the door.He didn't pay much attention to the sound as if it was close to his ears. He dazedly touched the mobile phone beside the bed and found that it was just past zero, so he turned over and continued to sleep.

After a while, the knock on the door stopped, and the surroundings returned to a quiet state.Just as Fu Zhouhan was about to fall into a dream, there was a whispering sound beside his ear, and a cool wind blew by.

Summer nights are quite hot and dry. Although the coolness will bring comfort, it is not cold in winter, but it makes people numb.Fu Zhouhan's right hand brushed past his ear, and the cold touch made him wake up with a jolt, and with the other hand, almost like a conditioned reflex, he pressed the light switch on the wall.

The light of the incandescent lamp enveloped the whole room, Fu Zhouhan suddenly opened his eyes, and when he turned his head, he saw a person standing beside the bed.

"Ah—" Fu Zhouhan screamed.

However, because he was too frightened, he opened his mouth wide, but did not make a sound.

His body was faster than his brain, Fu Zhouhan rolled and crawled close to the corner of the wall, keeping as far away from the person next to the bed as possible.Only then did he see clearly that the person in front of him was missing a left leg, and the left knee was even bloody.

The other party was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He was thin and handsome. He looked only in his 20s, and he looked harmless when he smiled.But such a stranger suddenly appeared beside your bed, and he didn't care about the pain in his leg, this smile made people feel weird.

In just a moment, a thought flashed through Fu Zhouhan's mind: Is this in front of him a human or a ghost?
