ghost stories

Back on the 19th it was ten o'clock in the evening.

Lu Yuan habitually took a look into the courtyard. The tea table and lounge chairs were quietly placed where they were, but he didn't see Su Mo resting there with his eyes closed.

Lu Yuan suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.

Han Xu followed behind, closing the courtyard door and urging Lu Yuan to go upstairs.He didn't know what Lu Yuan was looking at, he just knew that this man needed to rest.From the time Xu Jiayin disappeared to the present, they spent four hours in the police station, answering various questions, and Lu Yuan's face was full of exhaustion.

Because of Lu Yuan's identity, they temporarily concealed the details of installing the camera in Xu Jiayin's room.

As soon as he walked into the room, Cheng Bo called and asked Lu Yuan about the incident in detail.Lu Yuan recited the content of his previous answer like an endorsement, and just after hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhiming called again.

"I'm exhausted, let's talk about it tomorrow, I told Team Cheng." Lu Yuan lay on the bed, weak.

"You will rest tomorrow," Jiang Zhiming said, "You will also take turns to rest the day after tomorrow as usual. Take a good rest for a few days."

"Need not."

"That's it."

Lu Yuan didn't continue to argue. It's not that he loves and respects the post so much. He just feels that there are many things he hasn't figured out, and it's impossible for him to rest with peace of mind.

He turned over and lay on the bed with his arms pillowed on his head. He heard that Han Xu was feeding Liuliu dog food. Before he soaked in water, the puppy pounced on him and ate it, gnawing loudly.

"Is it teething? You can tell the movement." Lu Yuan propped himself up and took a look.

"It's grown," Han Xu picked up the puppy, and poured water into its bowl. "It's grown four... You keep a dog like this, isn't it cruel, and there is no meal."

"Why don't I see you off, you're always idle." Lu Yuan smiled and closed his eyes.

Han Xu also smiled and stroked Liuliu's hair without making a sound.

Both of them were avoiding the same topic, about what they saw this afternoon, about Xu Jiayin's mysterious disappearance, they didn't know how to discuss it, or they shouldn't discuss it at all.

How can a person be shouting one second, and dissipate in the air the next second.After the police arrived, Lu Yuan checked the scene. The doors and windows were closed, and Xu Jiayin even wrapped the handle of the window with wires. She seemed to be trapped in the bedroom to death.And it is precisely because of these behaviors of trapping herself firmly in the bedroom that her disappearance is particularly strange.

In addition to Lu Yuan, Han Xu and Xu's mother, the two neighbors also proved that when Lu Yuan hit the door, there were people calling for help inside, but when the door was opened, everything disappeared, just like everyone experienced together. A nightmare, when returning to reality, but can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.

"I'm going back, you go to sleep." After feeding the dog, Han Xu stood up and prepared to leave.

"Don't go." Lu Yuan quickly opened his eyes and said something.

After saying this, both of them were stunned.It was the first time for Han Xu to see Lu Yuan like this, and he was a little surprised. Although he didn't say how withdrawn he was, it was absolutely impossible for him not to leave as he is now.

Lu Yuan didn't know why he said such a sentence suddenly, he was not afraid of any ghosts, he was just a little at a loss for the loneliness in his heart.He doesn't want to be alone, he wants to have someone beside him, even if he doesn't speak, just stay like this.

"...Where should I sleep?" Han Xu hesitated. The room is not very big. The bed is larger than a single bed, smaller than a double bed, and there is no sofa or anything.

"Sleeping on the bed," Lu Yuan thought for a while, "I sleep on the floor."

Han Xu sighed, opened Lu Yuan's cabinet, and rummaged inside: "Just a set of bedding, you..."

"That's all in bed..." Lu Yuan didn't know what was wrong with him, he just didn't want to be alone today.

He usually doesn't like to be lively, and rarely goes to crowded places, and because of his professional relationship, he doesn't often go to friends' houses either.He never thought about sleeping with two people, even when he was with Xu Jiayin, he never thought about living together, let alone Han Xu... But this meeting seems to be possessed Same, I just want to keep Han Xu to live.

In the end, the two of them lay side by side on the bed, the desk lamp was placed on the ground, and the light was turned to the minimum.

"Can you sleep with the light on?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Well, it's much brighter than this when I'm taking a nap."

Lu Yuan stopped talking and closed his eyes.He couldn't sleep, and Han Xu probably couldn't sleep either.I didn't prepare enough today, the time was too tight, and he only wanted to see Xu Jiayin's state alone in the bedroom, so he just told Han Xu to monitor, and didn't say that he needed to record.

The weird images they saw were Xu Jiayin's last message.He can be sure that what he sees clearly is not a hallucination. It is impossible for him to have the same hallucination as Han Xu at the same time.In the past few hours, he has sorted out the most unbelievable and the most unacceptable, but also the only conclusion——

Xu Jiayin may have died, just after sending the photo to him.

Lu Yuan had a feeling that the Xu Jiayin he saw today was like the female corpse still parked in the cold storage cabinet. There was some kind of connection behind the strange phenomena on their bodies.

He suddenly remembered what he said to Peng Zhibang that day, even though it was just nonsense, but thinking about it now, it turned out to be the most reasonable explanation.

"Can't sleep." Han Xu said softly beside him.

"Yes, me too."

"Where do you think Miss Jiayin has gone?"

"I don't know, what do you think?"

Han Xu was silent for a while, then said hoarsely, "Maybe...the mirror..."

Lu Yuan had heard some legends about the mirror, and he laughed it off before, but now he dare not be as sure as before.The mirrors in Xu Jiayin's room were covered with blankets. After she disappeared, the blankets covering the mirrors slipped down. Did Xu Jiayin knock it off during the struggle, or was there some other reason?

"In the past, there was no mirror in the bedroom." Han Xu turned over and faced him, "There is a curtain on the mirror, called a mirror curtain, and the mirror is blocked by the mirror curtain at night... "

"Well, I've heard of it." Lu Yuan heard from Peng Anbang that people used to think that they could see things they shouldn't see in the mirror in the middle of the night, so they would block the mirror at night.At that time, he thought it was a psychological effect. No matter whether there was something or not, it was uncomfortable to look in the mirror in the middle of the night.

"Sister Jiayin, why did you cover up the mirror?"

"Didn't she say something was coming out of the mirror..."

"Can you stop it?"

"how could I know……"

Before Lu Yuan finished speaking, Han Xu's question made him think of some other possibilities.If something was about to come out, how could a blanket stop it.If it wasn't to block something from coming out, maybe it was just that she didn't want to see the mirror—Xu Jiayin saw something in the mirror that she didn't want to see.

Han Xu didn't ask any more questions. He reached out from under the blanket and took Lu Yuan's hand.Normally, he would definitely throw it away, and it is impossible for Han Xu to make such a move towards him, but now, Han Xu's cold fingers made him feel a little soft-hearted. Han Xu didn't need to go through these things.

"Brother," Han Xu squeezed his hand, "I said, you should move."

"Ok?"

"This house is evil."

"what happened?"

"Feel."

Lu Yuan knew that Han Xu was referring to the room next to him, the room where Sister Tang said someone had died.This was a bit scary in the first place, but coupled with what happened today, it is inevitable that Han Xu will have some other associations.

"Go to sleep, don't think so much."

"I can't sleep well..." Han Xu was interrupted by Liuliu's cry just after he finished speaking.

Liuliu was already asleep, but now he stood up, clawing at the cage with his front paws, barking at the wall.

"What's the matter, Liuliu?" Lu Yuan turned on the light, and found that Liuliu was not only barking, but also bared his teeth at the wall from time to time, looking very nervous, as if he was facing an enemy.

Lu Yuan looked at it like this, a little confused, want to come out to play?He sat up and was about to get out of bed to open the cage and let the little thing out.

"Don't go!" Han Xu grabbed his arm behind him.

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw Han Xu's expression was a little frightened and his face was pale.

"Listen..." Han Xu pointed to the wall beside the bed, and Liuliu was also barking at the wall.

Lu Yuan didn't move, and listened carefully, and found that there was some sound coming from the direction of the wall, mixed with Liuliu's cry.It was a slight rustling sound, and there was some other movement, which he couldn't make out for a while.

"Someone is grabbing the wall over there..." Han Xu's voice tightened.

There was some sound coming from the other side of the wall, which was not a strange thing. The sound insulation of this old house is very poor, and the footsteps of neighbors walking around can sometimes be heard.But the wall where the sound came from now is the room where someone died, and no one lives there.

Liuliu had stopped barking, and now he was staring at the wall with a low, menacing sound in his throat.

"I'll go and have a look." Lu Yuan patted Han Xu. He couldn't hear the voice clearly, so he couldn't conclude that it was scratching the wall.What happened today was outrageous, and he felt that Han Xu might be a little nervous.

Lu Yuan ignored Han Xu who still wanted to hold him back, jumped out of bed and walked to Liuliu's cage, opened the door of the cage, and wanted to see who the little thing was fighting against.

Liuliu quickly jumped out of the cage, rushed forward a few steps, stopped when he was about three steps away from the wall, and then continued to bark. It seemed that there was indeed something scaring him next door. to or provoked it.

Lu Yuan's feeling at this time was different from Han Xu's. He just felt that even if what happened to Xu Jiayin was incomprehensible, it didn't mean that there was something wrong next door.He was a little annoyed, for what happened to him recently, he felt that if there was a ghost next to him, he would throw his fist at it in a fit of anger.

Without thinking too much, Lu Yuan opened the door and stepped out.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was startled by a dark figure standing outside the next room as he rushed to the corridor.

"Who?" He took a step back and looked over.

"I."

"Su Mo?" Lu Yuan realized now that the black shadow standing there was actually Su Mo.

"Scared you?" Su Mo smiled lightly and turned his face away.

Under the cold moonlight, his smile made Lu Yuan feel more lonely in his heart.

"The sound you made?" Lu Yuan asked.But seeing that the big lock on the door of the room was still locked, it shouldn't be Su Mo, and the voice didn't come from the corridor, it must have come from the room.

He leaned over to the crack of the door and looked in, but couldn't see anything clearly, and put his ear to the door to listen again, but he didn't hear the sound just now.

"It's gone," Han Xu poked his head out from the room, "The sound will disappear as soon as you open the door."

Seeing Han Xu, Su Mo raised his eyebrows in surprise, and smiled at Lu Yuan: "It's a mouse, it's an old house, and the mouse can grow as big as your puppy."

Lu Yuan didn't speak. He felt that Su Mo's look at him was a bit meaningful, and he thought of the day he asked if Han Xu was his boyfriend... He suddenly regretted that he had to keep Han Xu to stay tonight.

Su Mo didn't say anything else, turned around and went back to his room, and closed the door.

After hearing that both Lu Yuan and Han Xu had entered the room, he let out a long breath and leaned against the door.

He looked down at his left hand, blood was dripping down the fingers.
