My very cool daughter-in-law

It is a kind of psychological pressure that can generate strong empathy just by listening to the description-an unknown human-shaped shadow appears in your supposedly safe home, and its whereabouts are erratic, as if it follows a certain scale standard every day. One day, the distance between me and you was shortened, and I approached silently.

You don't know where this thing came from, and it never communicates with you verbally.

The only thing you know other than that it's approaching you is that it seems to change every time it appears.

"What kind of change?" Sheng Xun asked when Zou He stopped to drink water again, sounding calm and calm.

He listened intently to Zou He's words, and he was undoubtedly an excellent listener. But at the same time, it was probably because his mental concentration was too strong. Under such a terrifying content that was enough to be selected as an urban late-night legend, Sheng Xun's mentality remained stable. , was not pulled into the emotions of the narrator.

Zou He was still drinking water, half of his face was covered by the porcelain white cup in the coffee shop, and the hot water in the cup was newly refilled by Sheng Xun not long ago.

The booth they were sitting in was facing the air-conditioning outlet, and the air-conditioning was strong, and the hot water created a thin mist in front of Zou He's eyes.

He raised his eyes towards Sheng Xun through the thin water mist, as if he was taken aback by the attitude of the person he once suspected to be a "substitute actor", and then replied: "He is looking at me. look at me the way you do."

This is what Zou He only realized after having four consecutive dreams.

The shadow first appeared in the porch, which is the place farthest from the master bedroom where Zou He sleeps in the family. At first, he just stood upright and silent, and couldn't tell which angle he was facing.

And the second time, in the dream, the shadow shifted from the porch to the balcony of the living room. He still stood upright on the balcony, but his head was tilted.

The third time, the figure sat on the sofa in the living room, and he chose the single seat closest to the aisle.

The fourth time, the figure stood in the corridor, and the room at the end was Zou He's...

Zou Hefang realized that in addition to constantly approaching him, the figure's movements also had hidden metaphors.

The opponent always maintains a state of "looking" towards the master bedroom, and his movements will change due to the change of location.

It was staring at him closely while approaching him.

"Mind if I ask?" Sheng Xun said after thinking for a moment, "Where did he go in your last dream?"

Zou He shook his head to express that he didn't mind.

"My room." He replied in a low voice, "I saw him finally move to my room in my dream, right next to my bed."

Before Sheng Xun asked, Zou He seemed to think about it, and he took the initiative to continue: "It should be the day after we finished contacting, that night I dreamed of the shadow again, he was so close that he couldn't get any closer... So the next day you know, I sent you a few more messages to make sure that it will be Saturday—that is, we can meet early in the morning today."

Sheng Xun did receive a confirmation message from Zou He on Friday. They contacted on Wednesday, and the other party had a strange dream on Thursday. Friday seems to be a "Christmas Eve" worth cherishing.

But today, according to the agreement, after meeting and discussing the details of the incident, the next step, Sheng Xun will follow Zou He into the community, visit the other party's house and take a look in person.

"If you are all ready, we can go up now."

Zou He is very particular about the beginning and the end of his speech. He used one sentence as the beginning of the narration, and after he had said almost everything he could say, he ended the detailed talk with such a conclusion.

Sheng Xun stood up first from his seat: "I already understand the general situation, let's go up now."

Zou He nodded, and he followed suit.

Both of them were several meters away from the coffee shop, and Mr. Zou suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"and many more."

Sheng Xun felt that Zou He should be calling himself, so he stopped and turned his head.

Mr. Zou, who was a little shorter than him, received a questioning look, and his expression was more perplexed than him.

It still looks unbelievable.

"Did you forget something in the coffee shop?" Zou He vaguely hesitated before asking this question, as if he had many conjectures in his mind at the same time, but he thought it over and over again, and gave priority to the one that sounded the most reasonable.

He reminded Sheng Xun: "It's the tool you prepared to help me exorcise evil spirits today? Why do you have empty hands and forgot your bag in the store? It's okay, we'll go back and get it."

There is already a tendency to turn around after speaking.

But before he really took a step back towards the coffee shop, Zou He felt himself being held back again.

Sheng Xun, who was really empty-handed, told him: "It didn't drop, I didn't take anything when I entered the coffee shop."

"..." Mr. Zou turned around while maintaining a confused expression.

He looked at Sheng Xun, then at the back of Sheng Xun, and then turned to look at the coffee shop.

Zou He's memory was finally revived, he remembered - when Sheng Xun just walked to the booth to greet him, the first time he looked up, he was surprised at the other party's youth, and subconsciously ignored that the other party did not bring a bag things.

It's just that subconsciously, he took it for granted that the other party should have a bag, and this subconsciousness followed until just now, so he was so shocked when he realized that the other party didn't have a bag.

"In your line of work, shouldn't everyone have something like a universal backpack or a mysterious pocket, which contains all kinds of practical and convenient props?" Zou He was still in disbelief when he swiped his card to bring Sheng Xun into his community, "I Remember that your common props should include charms, copper coins, red rope soaked in certain types of oil, cinnabar, black dog blood, etc.? Why did you come here without anything... Or do you have any more special abilities? , you can hide the bag directly, like the more advanced storage kits in film and television novels? Space treasure?"

The more Zou He guessed, the more he guessed. He probably didn't want to believe that Sheng Xun really came here without bringing anything, and he really wanted to find a trace of evidence from Sheng Xun that the other party had indeed "come prepared".

After Sheng Xun listened to the long series of babbles, he helped someone to help the door when the elevator opened, and let Zou He go in first. By the way, he thought—Mr. Zou might have a good impression of "a mystic must have a bag" It is from Chu Shi.

No matter where you go, you need a backpack. Junior Chu is definitely the No. 1 backpack in the mystical arts world. You always carry your equipment with you, and you will never forget to carry it wherever you go.

Sheng Xun didn't know if most of the other mystic masters were like Xiao Chu, who liked to keep hand tools with him at all times. As a half-way monk, he suddenly learned that he was naturally effective in suppressing evil Man, I can honestly say that there is only one best and most handy exorcism tool he has ever used.

It's him.

"I really don't have anything on my back, and I don't have a magic bag that can store small props." Sheng Xun could only say this to Mr. Zou, "When I was suppressing evil, the method would be simpler, and those props are not for me. Necessities, I'm not good at either."

After Zou He listened, he looked at Sheng Xun as if he was looking at a charlatan.

"What I just said... you are not good at any of them?" said Mr. Zou who suspected that he had really encountered a fraud.

Sheng Xun shook his head calmly at him, his expression was so calm that Zou He doubted his life. He couldn't help but think, these days, a person who has been entrusted to solve disasters for others, even if he is not good at basic industry props, can still do this Are you blushing and out of breath?

However, Sheng Xun didn't blush or breathe, and when he said that he didn't bring anything and he couldn't do the same, he was extremely calm.

Everyone has already been brought into the community, and they have already boarded the elevator. The 28th floor is within easy reach.

Even though Mr. Zou couldn't explain it all, he felt that a dead horse could be treated as a living horse doctor, so he didn't intend to dismiss Sheng Xun on the spot.

The elevator quickly reached the 28th floor, and the door opened with a "ding".

The professional level of the tall young man’s evil-suppressing business is still under discussion. Zou He thinks that the possibility of being “unoptimistic” is higher. However, if we only talk about the service attitude, there is absolutely nothing to say about the appropriateness of the other party’s details, whether it is going up or down the elevator. Still going in and out of various doors, the other party pays attention to the door frame and door panel, and let me go first.

"Mr. Zou."

Zou Hezheng was about three steps ahead of Sheng Xun. As the owner of the house, he needed to walk in front to lead the way and open the door, when suddenly he heard Sheng Xun calling himself from behind.

"What's the matter?" Zou He asked casually, putting his finger on his fingerprint lock.

Standing at the back, Sheng Xun looked at his back from top to bottom, and said casually, "I didn't expect you to know so much about the props used by mystic masters."

Zou He seemed to have a pause, and it seemed that he was just checking whether the fingerprint lock was open or not, and observing the status of his own gate.

In the next second, in the electronic voice of "Verification succeeded", the door was pulled open by him.

"There's nothing I can do if I don't think too much." Zou He said half complaining and half sighing, "Who made our family have such a group of miraculous in-laws, Xiaoshi will contact me every now and then. With such a relationship, Even if you only understand a little bit every time you come into contact with him, after years and months, you will know enough."

Zou He opened the door to invite Sheng Xun in, he turned around and made an invitation gesture, and made a joke: "I am a scientific researcher, when I used to be a bit lazy, I often thought about whether I had betrayed science. "

Sheng Xun was amused by the joke, and the corner of his mouth was obviously raised.

"I also thought of this after I finished asking." He said, and walked into the door of Zou He's house, and the topic just now was easily exposed.

"Do you want shoe covers or slippers?" Zou He asked the guest for advice.

Sheng Xun chose shoe covers.

When Zou He bent down to search for shoe covers in the porch cabinet, Sheng Xun usually took two random steps while visiting the porch, but the angle was very unfortunate, and Zou He, who found the shoe covers, got up and looked up, almost hitting him head-on .

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention." Sheng Xun immediately apologized first.

In order to help people regain their balance, he reached out and grabbed Zou He's arm in time.

Zou He was wearing a long-sleeved shirt today. The coffee shop was air-conditioned just now, and the sleeves of his shirt had been put down tightly.

Now, walking home probably brought him some enthusiasm, and he rolled up his shirt cuffs after entering the door.

The hand that Sheng Xun stretched out just touched Zou He's exposed forearm.

"It's okay." Mr. Zou was taken aback by the almost collision, but he quickly came to his senses and said that it was completely okay with this accident and he didn't need to worry about it.

Sheng Xun said again that he was embarrassed and then let go of his hand.

His eyes lingered on Zou He's forearm for a moment, and then retreated quietly before being noticed.
