My very cool daughter-in-law

"At first, I thought it was a thief in the house." Zou He used this sentence as his opening remarks to unfold the details.

Unlike most of his peers who still need to rent a house to survive, Zou He bought the Bailaiping house in this high-end residential area behind the coffee shop with all the money.The house was renovated at the beginning of last year. Considering the formaldehyde problem, it was left for half a year. Until the end of last year, the formaldehyde test showed that the house was safe to move in. Just as my work arrangement in the laboratory was also finalized, Zou He took time off Moved a house, formally moved to a new house, and made a "double happiness".

Youdao is happy when you have a happy event. At the beginning of the move, he was really satisfied with his new life.

The location of the community is superior, the subway is at the doorstep, and the business district can be reached in 5 minutes on foot, which is convenient for life and transportation.

As a single young man whose daily job is to spend time in the laboratory, even if Zou He spends a while in the unit occasionally, repeatedly tossing and tossing for several data results until the early morning, he does not worry about the inconvenience of not driving back to the center, let alone the inconvenience of returning to his own neighborhood. You will feel lonely and deserted in the dead of night.

There are many 24-hour shops in the vicinity, and the lights of the city are gorgeous even in the middle of the night.

People who live in the most prosperous areas go home in the middle of the night, and they can even leisurely look for a meal downstairs, feel the vitality of the city in the early morning, and do experiments in the night wind to clear their minds. Turn around and enter the community.

The first time Zou He noticed something unusual at home was on such a night when he came home late as usual.

"I went home that day and found that the pillows on the sofa fell to the floor." Zou He said, "The box containing the remote control of the TV and air conditioner on the coffee table was also turned over, and the small items inside were all dumped on the table with the remote control."

He had just finished processing a lengthy piece of data, and on the way home, there seemed to be complicated characters jumping in front of his eyes. Facing this seemingly unusual scene, Zou Heren subconsciously sat down on the sofa, picked up the pillow and patted it After putting it away, I reached out to tidy up the coffee table——

The moment he helped the storage box, he finally realized something was wrong.

It wasn't like this at home before he went out today!

Zou He is used to keeping his home clean and tidy. The pillows have a fixed position, and the used bits and pieces will always be put back into the storage box.

He lives alone, and usually no relatives or friends will come to the door. If his family members have come, then the other party will definitely inform him first, and will not rush to the door without saying a word. Leave him with a messy living room.

He almost bounced off the couch, while thinking quickly about the possibility that he didn't close the window properly and the wind knocked things down.

This may not be long before he personally ruled it out.

Zou He checked the windows of the living room one by one to make sure they were tightly closed.

Then, he casually picked up a physics artifact brought back from the laboratory—and took a crowbar to inspect the entire house.

That was the first time something strange happened. Apart from the messy sofa and coffee table, there was no other abnormality in his house, and no property was lost.

Zou He finally used "maybe the pillow was not placed properly, and when it was turned down, it swept to the table" as a reluctant explanation.

He thought that night was just an accident, and he didn't like to scare himself very much. After that, he was busy with work for two weeks, so he almost completely forgot about such an incident.

However, the strange thing happened again when Zou He almost forgot about it.

The second time it was rare for him not to work overtime, he arrived home normally around [-]:[-] pm.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt something was wrong.

Early this morning, Zou He was temporarily thirsty before going out, so he took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator, and when he went to the entrance to change his shoes, he didn't want to go out with a drink bottle. He only unscrewed it and took two sips, then threw it on the entrance counter.

But at this moment, Zou He, who had just returned home, was standing in front of the door, and he found that the drink bottle was empty.

There was almost a full bottle of drinks left in the early morning, and the empty bottles were still lying on the countertop horizontally, and the entrance cabinet was in a familiar mess, and the slippers he was used to neatly placed were swaying here and there.

Zou He turned his head and went out, leaving his home to contact the property first.

There are 24-hour security guards in the community, and the property is also very dedicated. The security office will come to the door together with the housekeeper in a short time.

Accompanied by them, Zou Hecai re-entered the house and checked the house carefully.

"But the inspection results are similar to last time." In the coffee shop, Zou He continued to say to Sheng Xun, he seemed to recall the helplessness at that time, and sighed, "There is no sign of my house being broken into, every window is The security office and the window sills have also been checked by the security personnel. There are no footprints or signs of being pried open from the outside—including the door of my house. The door lock is intact and the room is clean. See who is coming in and out of the unit for the day."

As a result, monitoring did not reveal anything.

There was no obvious suspicious person entering or leaving the unit, and the surveillance in the elevator hall just couldn't see the area in front of Zou He's house.

The statement given by the security office is that it is not ruled out that someone came up the stairs from the fire exit and detoured to Zou He's door.

Zou He's family has no other substantial losses for the time being, and it is also possible that the other party is just stepping on the spot first to observe the environment.

At that time, Zou He still had time to joke with others.

He said helplessly, if this is really stepping on the spot, he has come here twice, except for messing up the house and not stealing any property, what is this for?

It can't be a picture of him. After visiting this house for two laps, you think he is more precious, right?

Zou He's mentality is not bad, and he still lives in this apartment when encountering strange things one after another.

The property fee of their community is second to none in the city, and the property service is excellent for the owners. On the second day after that, Mr. Zou, who had encountered a special situation, installed a surveillance camera on the aisle at the door, and strengthened his building. Corridor patrols.

Zou He was joking, but in the dead of night, when he was locked up at home alone, he realized after a while that he should make a fool of himself.

It just so happens that everything may be lacking in the laboratory, but there must be no shortage of single young men.

Zou He has his own car and drives to and from get off work every day. There are three guest rooms including the study room at home.

He discussed it with others in the laboratory. There were two rented houses due at the end of the year, and his colleagues temporarily lived in his house before finding a new place for the new year.

"After that, it stopped for at least a month or two." Zou He recalled, "There are two more people in the family, and the daily commute time is basically the same, and they are all very noisy young people, so every day is lively, It never happened again that things got messed up inexplicably."

"Of course, it's also possible that even if it happens, you won't be able to find out, because there are two more people, no matter what happens at home, you will naturally think that it was caused by a friend at the first time."

Those days can be called comfortable. Although Zou He bid farewell to his short-lived solitary life, he regained the joy of living with others in the dormitory when he was a student.

As a result, strange things happened for the third time. One of his roommates was transferred out of town, and his other roommate temporarily returned to his hometown for personal reasons.

And this time it's even creepier.

It didn't appear indoors this time, it appeared outside Zou He's bedroom window.

He was just about to fall asleep in the early morning of that night, and he pressed the phone off and stuffed it under the pillow.

It was as if someone was watching him outside the window, waiting for the moment when he put down his phone.

At the moment when the room fell into total darkness, his window suddenly rang.

"Boom."

It was the sound of glass windows being knocked from the outside. It appeared in the room in the early morning, and it was extraordinarily clear and loud.

Zou He froze on the bed. He lived on the 28th floor, so there should be no place for people to cling to outside the window.

Did you hear me wrong?He spent too much time processing data in the laboratory today, and stayed up all night swiping his phone after returning home. As a result, he was so tired that he had auditory hallucinations before going to bed?

Zou He was thinking wildly, but he didn't dare to move. An inexplicable sense of crisis spread in his heart, which made him dare not easily turn over to the window.

"—I fell asleep in the end." At this point, Zou He seemed to recall the horror of that night. He raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously, then looked at Sheng Xun, "Do you understand me?" What do you mean? It’s the kind of paradoxical state where a person thinks about things and guesses, which is actually the most terrifying, because your imagination will amplify your fears, and then your thinking is very easily bound by fears, making you unable to properly think about any problems. I even started to escape subconsciously, thinking that it was all fake, that I was superstitious, and felt that it would pass after I fell asleep, and if I fell asleep and couldn’t hear it, it would be fine.”

Zou He was caught in this kind of self-protective escape at that time.

He was lucky enough to sleep until he woke up the next day, and he was exhausted from working all day the next day.

And the strange things of the fourth round came one after another—only this time it changed its form, no longer creating chaos for people to see, or making strange noises in the middle of the night to shake people's hearts.

It became a continuous nightmare.

"What did you dream about?" Sheng Xun finally had the first opportunity to speak when he heard this.

In order not to interrupt Zou He's memories and narrations, he had been a patient listener all the time. When Zou He occasionally stopped to think, he didn't make a sound, and only paid attention to helping people add water a few times.

But this time, Zou He stopped after mentioning the nightmare. He held the cup and looked at Sheng Xun, his expression was far more tense and anxious than before, and the knuckles of his fingers pressing on the wall of the cup were faintly white.

Sheng Xun knew that this was a situation where he needed to take the initiative to ask before the other party could continue talking.

Sure enough, after Sheng Xun asked, Zou He took a deep breath.

He let out a deep breath and replied, "A figure."

Compared with the disturbance of a house or the sound of knocking before, the previous strange incidents were set off by the last one as if they were small troubles.

The last figure was the key to Zou He's conviction that he had encountered an unscientific incident and had to seek help from others.

"After that, I would dream of a figure every night in my dreams. Sometimes he was by the window, sometimes in the hallway, and sometimes in the living room or dining room."

"He showed up very irregularly, very randomly, but the only thing I could be sure of was ... every night he came back, he was a little closer to me than before."

The author has something to say: the new mobile phone is finally available, and it is more useful to pray to Sheng Xun than to Xiao Qiu—oh, Qiuqiu, you son of a prosperous husband but not a prosperous woman.
