The Haunted

Chi Yan suddenly woke up from the dream, unknowingly, the cotton pajamas were soaked in cold sweat, and his heart was still beating loudly, like a drumbeat out of rhythm.

He opened his eyes tremblingly, and saw the warm orange light of the bedside lamp, and the living room outside was also brightly lit. He reached out and touched the jade pendant hanging around his neck, and then let out a secret sigh of relief.

He dreamed that he was still in college.

When Chi Yan was in college, he lived in a dormitory. At that time, four people lived in one room. There was no toilet in the room. The bathroom, washroom, and toilet were all in the corridor, and one was set up every few dormitories.

He dreamed that he went out to go to the bathroom, but when he came back, he found that the bedroom door was locked. He shouted and knocked on the door desperately, but the door would not be opened inside.He called his roommate's name, he said "I'm Chi Yan, open the door quickly", but it didn't work.

He could hear the sound from the door, and for some reason, he could vaguely see the scene inside the door. He saw his three roommates were all inside the door, but there was a "Chi Yan" inside, and that "Chi Yan" said : "Don't open the door, the one outside is not human."

And the roommates who lived with him day and night stood with that thing and shut him out.

"Chi Yan" who was hiding behind his roommate seemed to have seen him, and suddenly raised his head towards him, grinned and smiled.

And Chi Yan was awakened at this moment.

Chi Yan is not a materialist, or he is not materialist at all.He doesn't have supernatural powers, and he doesn't have "yin and yang eyes" that can see ghosts and gods like those depicted in novels and TV shows, but he can feel the existence of those things.They watched around, around him, with malice.

He could sense these existences very early, but he was just afraid, and never dared to tell anyone, until he was pushed down the stairs of a shopping mall when he was ten years old. Fortunately, there was no major problem, but the surveillance of the mall showed his There is no one left and right, he planted himself.Grandma came to the hospital to take care of him, and when she changed his clothes, she found a small, almost invisible red handprint on his back.

Grandma was shocked, so she took this matter to heart and watched him personally in the ward day and night, and took him to visit a famous Taoist temple after his condition improved.

Chi Yan still clearly remembered that the Taoist who couldn't remember his face tied a red safety rope to his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Stay away from those things, they want to kill you and replace them."

At that time Chi Yan was still ignorant, but one month after returning home, the safety rope broke in two for no reason at the end of the meal one day, and the cut was burnt black, as if someone had used a cigarette. Broken.

Grandma was shocked, and hurriedly took him to visit the previous Taoist, but the Taoist didn't see them, and only asked his disciples to tell him that Chi Yan was born with a weak body, and that he was not good enough to protect him, and asked them to hire someone else.No matter how much he begged the Taoist priest, he refused to see Chi Yan again, and in the end he had no choice but to call grandma to have a talk.

Grandma's eyes were red when she came out, as if she had cried, she took Chi Yan and left, and tried to ask other "superior people", but the previous Taoist was very capable and senior, and some Taoist temples heard that the Taoist said that he was good at Taoism Not enough, I didn't dare to try it at all, and they all shirked.

During that time, if grandma hadn't been guarding him every step of the way, Chi Yan would have died long ago.And because of the previous accident in the shopping mall, he happened to be resting at home, and the old man watched closely to avoid many dangers.It wasn't until later that grandma heard something, asked her natal family for help, and tried her best to get a piece of spiritual jade pendant that was said to be an ancestral jade pendant, and put it on a safety rope for Chi Yan to wear with her, that the situation improved.

Chi Yan could still feel the lingering sense of spying, and even seemed to be able to hear the malicious and meaningless syllables they uttered, but there seemed to be an invisible membrane separating him from them, allowing him to Those things can no longer easily get close to Chi Yan and cause substantial harm to him.

But recently the protective effect of jade seems to be weakening, Chi Yan can feel that those things are getting closer to him, more and more unscrupulous.

His parents died in a car accident when he was nine years old, and he has been raised by his grandparents since then. His grandfather passed away in his sophomore year, and his grandmother also left him last fall. The only family member left is his uncle, who is always busy with company affairs, and he is not very close to him. Get close, and sneered at the way my grandmother said before that he was weak and easy to attract ghosts and ghosts, and asked people around to ask him to pray for immortals and Buddhas. Although he couldn't stop it explicitly because of the old man, he never supported it.So now the only way to save his life is to rely on Chi Yan himself.

Fortunately, his parents left him a house deposit and shares in his uncle's company. His grandparents were from a wealthy family, and his grandmother loved him because he loved her daughter. She never touched the inheritance Chi Yan's parents left him, and they all invested for him. After her grandmother passed away, she also left a lot of property under her name to Chi Yan, so that he would not have to worry about making a living.

Chi Yan has been living in a faint panic, worrying about his death, but he is not as eager for success as ordinary people. After graduation, he just found a job related to his major, and did it step by step.

Chi Yan took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was 3:59, which was a little weird. Every time he woke up from a nightmare, he checked the time at 3:59.But since he was a child, he has been bumping into evil and ghosts a lot, so he doesn't care about these trivial details, he just wants not to hurt himself.

He was no longer sleepy at this time, took out his mobile phone and swiped the frequently used apps, watching netizens laughing and scolding, talking and laughing, and watching friends posting about his parents' short life in various ways, he suddenly felt a lot of popularity, and his blood gradually flowed Open, the beating heart slowly calmed down, as if it was alive again.

It was like this until 7 o'clock, the sunlight came in through the window, Chi Yan got up, turned off the bedside lamp and the living room lamp, and prepared to wash up.

The house left to him by his parents is also in this city, but the location is cloudy and the lighting is not good. Chi Yan always feels that his life is given to him by the sun, and he can only feel relaxed and happy when he stands under the warm and bright sunshine. At that time, there were fewer invisible things around me, so I rented out that house, and I rented another Xiangyang house near the unit. The real estate with the most yang energy and the most upright feng shui - ordinary people may not care about these, but Chi Yan will take them very seriously.

The good news is that because of his experience from childhood to adulthood, he is now very good at identifying charlatans. He can almost tell whether the other party is really capable or bluffing with a supernatural sign in just a few words.

Because of his own speciality, Chi Yan has always been quite repulsed by mirrors, pools, wells and other things that have a dark atmosphere or something supernatural. Although he knows that plastic is not good for human health, he still insists on using plastic bowls and chopsticks when eating—— Just because the more unspiritual industrial synthetics are, the harder it is for those things to attach to them.

But he couldn’t have a mirror at home, and he also needed to tidy himself up before going out to work, so he specially asked someone to point out the most suitable place to press one at home.

After he got out of the shower, he straightened his hair in front of the mirror, and suddenly saw "Chi Yan" in the mirror raised his head, grinned at him.

Chi Yan hastily dropped the comb, grabbed the briefcase and rushed out the door, sitting in the elevator still feeling terrified.

Fortunately, it is the morning rush hour now, this community is close to the CBD, the location is prosperous, the transportation is convenient, the rent is high, and the residents are mainly office workers. The elevators are full at this time of the day, and you can vaguely smell the aroma of breakfast, steaming The breathing breath of life once again saved Chi Yan from the momentary fright.

He touched the jade around his neck, feeling more and more urgent about the matter.Although he has not suffered any substantial damage, the probability of encountering such weird events is obviously increasing during this period of time.Lingyu may fail one day sooner or later, he must find a new alternative to protect himself before then.

Thinking of this, Chi Yan took out his mobile phone and asked for leave from work.
