Abuse reformation

Looking at the curious title in front of him, Chen Maoshi didn't know what expression or words to use to express his feelings at this moment.

He originally thought that according to Uncle Xin's professional characteristics, he would write anecdotal novels related to exorcising ghosts. Who would have thought...

Although the threshold of the web writing industry is low, the competition pressure is also high, and it is a place where it is not easy for newcomers to succeed.And the quality of Dianjiang's novels is also outstanding among his peers, I'm afraid his road to online writing will not be easy.

But seeing the other party's enthusiasm, he couldn't discourage the other party's enthusiasm, so he could only laugh and say: "Then I wish you success in signing the contract, and you will be a hit."

Ye Huai smiled slightly, "I would like to borrow your good words."

At this time, Chen Maoshi didn't know that what he said casually would really become a proverb in the future.

Of course, this is all for later.

If you want to talk about why Ye Huai came up with the idea of ​​writing online articles, then this is a long story.

In addition to cultivating Taoism and exorcising ghosts in his previous life, the most common thing Ye Huai did to pass the time was reading novels.However, as an old white reader, there are fewer and fewer novels on the market that can meet his requirements, so he occasionally cuts his own legs and writes short stories, just to express his imagination.

Now, returning to the modern society, he suddenly had the idea of ​​writing a novel seriously.After all, what he experienced in the last world was also considered ups and downs. It would be a waste not to write such good material.

He is a very active person, and he does what he wants to do.

After more than a week, Ye Huai really devoted himself to writing the novel without hearing what was going on outside the window.If it wasn't for Cheng Yang's phone call, he would probably be able to sit at home for a month without coming out.

To say why Cheng Yang sought him out, it all started when he accompanied his boss on a business trip to Thailand not long ago.

Cheng Yang's boss is Xu Zhengqing, the grandson of the former chairman of Huacheng Group.After the old chairman resigned this year, he will take over the company and become the new person in power.It was he who decided to redevelop the vacant land of Huacheng Second Hospital.

Xu Zhengqing is a vigorous and decisive person.Since taking office, he has launched a series of new projects, aiming to expand the company's business territory.

Some time ago, in order to expand business abroad, he took Cheng Yang to Thailand for a field trip.During the business trip, the two stayed in a five-star hotel in Bangkok.

Because the hotel was booked late, there were only two senior suites left, one of which happened to be the last room.

Thailand, as a place with a high incidence of supernatural events, has countless incidents such as hotel collisions.Because of his previous experience in the abandoned hospital, Cheng Yang also became superstitious.He even did his homework before coming, why don't you live in the back room of the hotel, you have to knock on the door before entering, and the toes of your shoes should be facing outwards.

Xu Zhengqing was somewhat disapproving of this.

Although he asked Cheng Yang to go to the "Master" because of the suspension of the development project of Huacheng Second Hospital, in fact, he didn't believe it in his heart.The reason why he did this was nothing more than to reassure those workers.

Seeing that Cheng Yang was so opposed to the Wei room, as a "humane" boss, he simply said to Cheng Yang: "Since you don't want to live in that room, let's change it."

Although I feel a little sorry for the boss, as a person who has been chased and frightened by a group of ghosts and left a psychological shadow, Cheng Yang agreed without hesitation.

Fortunately, Xu Zhengqing did not encounter any strange things after changing rooms.

Early the next morning, the two left the hotel and met with the partner as agreed.

Because Xu Zhengqing went to Thailand this time to investigate the feasibility of Watson & Band Group's new business overseas, and to reach a cooperation, the Thai side arranged a series of fun activities for the two of them after the meeting.

Xu Zhengqing was not very interested in conventional tourism projects, so when Cheng Yang was enjoying the delicacies and beaches of tropical countries, he seemed a little less interested.

Thinking of his younger sister jokingly asking him to bring a gift before going abroad, he turned around and asked the guide where he could buy local art or antiques.

Xu Zhengqing's younger sister, Xu Jingxian, is an out-and-out literary young woman. Compared with other wealthy young ladies who like to buy clothes and collect luxury bags, her hobbies are particularly different.She likes to collect antiques and all kinds of eccentric works of art from all over the world.

It was precisely because her younger sister liked these things that Xu Zhengqing thought of following suit.

Knowing his needs, the guide immediately took him to a market called "Chatuchak Weekend Market", which is known as Panjiayuan in Bangkok.There is a dazzling array of things to look at, but there are real things and fake things.As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way.

Xu Zhengqing thought that she didn't have as good eyesight as her younger sister, so she didn't insist on buying a real antique. After all, foreign tourists in Thailand must have relevant licenses if they want to buy antiques.So he turned his goal to a small shop selling vintage handicrafts.

The decoration of this store is in the style of the Siamese era. It can be seen that there are Buddha statues and handicrafts full of Thai style, which look exquisite.According to the shop owner, the small things in the shop are all old things he found in the second-hand market. They are all orphans and cannot be bought elsewhere.

Hearing the hype of the shop owner Wang Po selling melons, Xu Zhengqing was a little disapproving. As a businessman, he knew that such rhetoric was nothing more than a gimmick to attract customers.As for whether the items sold are orphans, only the boss himself knows.

Walking around in the store, Xu Zhengqing, who was a little disappointed because he didn't find anything he particularly liked, was about to leave and try another store.Seeing that the guest was about to leave, the shopkeeper stopped him.He said that he still had one good thing that he had not displayed, and wanted Xu Zhengqing to take a look.

Seeing the mysterious appearance of the shop owner, Xu Zhengqing couldn't help being aroused curiosity.Just say, "Let's see."

I saw the store owner walk into the warehouse, and came out with a small round wooden carving box after a while.Watching the boss carefully open the lid of the box, he saw a simple and unique ruby ​​ring lying quietly inside.

"This is a ring I received a few months ago, and I haven't been able to find a suitable person to buy it."

Xu Zhengqing originally just glanced at it casually, but his eyes were immediately attracted the moment he saw the ring.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper became even more excited, "This is inlaid with authentic rubies. If you don't believe it, you can go to a professional appraisal agency to have a look."

"Also, look at the workmanship of this ring, as well as the size and purity of the gemstone, such a large gemstone with such a bright color, plus this is an orphan jewel from the last century, it is simply a rare gem Ah! If it weren't for our predestined relationship, I wouldn't be willing to take it out!"

Listening to the guide's vivid translation, Xu Zhengqing couldn't help being moved.

It wasn't because of the introductory words that the shopkeeper boasted, but because of the ring itself.

Although he couldn't read antiques, he could still recognize this valuable gem.The color in front of me is soft, and it can emit soft light with different luster under the light. It is a good pigeon's blood red.The entire stone was so well cut that it could have rivaled his mother's set of ruby ​​jewellery.

In addition, the design of this ring is special, it is difficult to see it outside, and his sister will definitely like it.

So this time he didn't hesitate and bought it directly.

"I want it."

It was the first time for the boss to see such a straightforward guest, and he was so happy to see that his teeth were missing, so he hurriedly swiped the card for him.

However, Xu Zhengqing at this time did not expect that the gift he bought for his sister would cause him much trouble in the future.

……

It was late when we returned to the hotel after dinner.Cheng Yang in the next room had already rested.

Because he was sweating in the heat after a day of shopping, Xu Zhengqing put down his things and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.When he finished packing and lay down on the bed and turned off the lights to sleep, he suddenly felt that there was something looking at him at the head of the bed.

Realizing this feeling, Xu Zhengqing couldn't help laughing at himself.

Apart from his mobile phone and the ring he just bought during the day, what else could there be by the bedside?It can't be a ghost, can it?

For some reason, he shuddered at the thought.

After a while, he quickly shook his head and thought to himself: How can there be ghosts in this world?It's all a lie.

Thinking that she was thinking too much, Xu Zhengqing closed her eyes and turned over to continue sleeping.

After all, he was too tired, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

I don't know how long it has passed, and when he was drowsy, he suddenly felt a strong sense of coldness, even if he was covered with a thick quilt, he still couldn't block this chilly feeling.

Could it be that he forgot to turn up the temperature of the air conditioner in the room?

He dazedly pressed the bedside lamp and got up from the bed. When he walked to the controller of the central air conditioner, he was stunned.

No wonder he felt cold.At some point, the room temperature in the room turned into 10 degrees!

Xu Zhengqing hurriedly raised the temperature, feeling very surprised during this period.

You must know that this kind of air conditioner can be turned on at a minimum of 16 degrees. How did the current 10 degrees come out?

He didn't dare to think about it, he just thought it was the air conditioner that was broken.After readjusting the temperature, he quickly went to bed.

However, as soon as the lights were turned off, the feeling of being watched came again.

Compared to just now, this strange feeling is more obvious this time.Even if he pulled the quilt up over his head and slept against the wall, it still lingered.

What's even more trembling is that as he moved in, the gaze seemed to follow him, as if a locator had been placed on him.

Xu Zhengqing tightened the quilt, straightened her lips, opened her eyes wide, held her breath and did not dare to move.

I don't know how long it took, but the temperature in the room seemed to drop again.

It was getting colder and colder, so cold that people shivered.

Just when he was about to grit his teeth and get up before adjusting the temperature, he heard the knocking sound of "Duo...Duo...Duo" suddenly coming from beside his bed.

Knock from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, and from the end of the bed to the head of the bed.

Listening to the rhythmic knocking sound beside her ear, Xu Zhengqing's heartbeat gradually accelerated.

He who has always dismissed these supernatural phenomena felt the creepiness for the first time.

……

Xu Zhengqing couldn't close her eyes all night.It wasn't until a golden light floated in the sky that the knocking sound beside the bed disappeared, and the temperature in the room returned to normal.

Seeing a red sun rising in the east, Xu Zhengqing, who had been curled up in the corner all night, dared to get out of bed wrapped in a quilt.

It was probably because the experience last night was so exciting that Xu Zhengqing, whose cognition was broken, did not dare to stay in that tail room anymore.So he quickly contacted the room manager and asked to change the room.

The hotel staff were also very confused when they received the guest's request to change rooms early in the morning.Fortunately, this was not the first time they had dealt with this kind of thing. After figuring out the cause of the matter, they changed another room for Xu Zhengqing.

At this time, Cheng Yang went downstairs to have breakfast, and when he saw the boss talking with the hotel staff, he curiously stepped forward to inquire about the situation.Xu Zhengqing had a good face and didn't want to reveal to his subordinates that he met a ghost last night, so he just pretended to be calm and said: "The air conditioner in that room is broken, so I asked them to change it for me."

Fortunately, Cheng Yang had no doubts.

Seeing this, Xu Zhengqing was relieved.

It was probably because Cheng Yang's "science popularization" was done very well before, so for everything that happened last night, Xu Zhengqing took it for granted that it was because the room he lived in was the first room.After changing a room, Xu Zhengqing, who hadn't slept all night, canceled all the itinerary for today and went back to the room to catch up on sleep.

It was already afternoon when I woke up.

After a hasty wash and a meal in the hotel, Xu Zhengqing began to deal with the work accumulated in the past two days.Before I knew it, it was ten o'clock.

Perhaps it was because Xu Zhengqing had had enough sleep during the day, and Xu Zhengqing was not very sleepy at this time.However, considering that he had to get up early to catch a flight the next day, he had to force himself to sleep.

Because of the thrilling experience last night, this time Xu Zhengqing deliberately checked the temperature of the air conditioner before going to bed, and after confirming that it was normal, he turned on the bedside lamp and lay down.

After changing to a new house, and the bedside table was still on, Xu Zhengqing relaxed at this time, turned over and slowly fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, that cold feeling hit again.Xu Zhengqing curled up into a ball unconsciously in her sleep.

so cold……

Why does it feel like I'm in a cold storage?

While half asleep and half awake, some sounds came from beside my ears.

what sound?

Xu Zhengqing slowly opened his eyes and pricked up his ears, only to hear a familiar and rhythmic knocking sound reappear——

"Do...do...do..."

Knock from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, and from the end of the bed to the head of the bed.

In an instant, the hairs on Xu Zhengqing's entire body stood on end...

In the middle of the night, Cheng Yang was watching the football game.While watching it wonderfully, there was a heavy knock on the door.

Who?What are you doing knocking on his door if you don't sleep at night.

Just as he was about to complain, he heard the voice of his boss from outside——

"Cheng Yang, open the door!"

Upon hearing this sound, Cheng Yang quickly jumped up from the bed and trot over to open the door.

He froze as soon as he opened the door.

I saw my boss standing outside the door nervously in pajamas, holding a pillow in his hand.

"President Xu, what do you have at this late hour..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Zhengqing pushed him into the room and quickly closed the door.The movements are coherent and done in one go.

Seeing his boss's uncharacteristic behavior, Cheng Yang was a little dazed.

In the middle of the night, two big men are alone in a room, not for drinking or for a ball game, not for a game, that's right! ! !

For a moment, Cheng Yang couldn't help becoming nervous.He quickly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xu, although I am your special assistant, I have a clear distinction between public and private, and I am not in this direction, so you..."

Before he finished speaking, he found that Xu Zhengqing didn't listen to what he was saying at all, but just looked around a little uneasily, as if he was looking for something...or avoiding something.

At this moment, Cheng Yang felt that something was wrong, and quickly asked seriously: "Mr. Xu, what's wrong with you? Is something wrong?"

Xu Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Cheng Yang's room was safe, "What did you just say?"

Cheng Yang blinked, "I just asked you 'Is something wrong?'"

"It's not this sentence, it's the previous sentence. It's something like 'distinction between public and private, not this orientation'..."

"You heard wrong."

Before Xu Zhengqing finished speaking, Cheng Yang interrupted immediately.Seeing the slightly suspicious look in the other party's eyes, Cheng Yang quickly changed the subject, "What's the matter with you coming to see me so late?"

It was good that he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Xu Zhengqing unconsciously started to feel hair standing on end again.

Seeing his pale face, Cheng Yang froze.It was the first time he saw their resolute President Xu showing such an expression.It seems that things are not so simple.

Sure enough, in the next second, the other party said in a deep voice: "I seem to have... hit a ghost."

Cheng Yang:? ? ?

It seems that the experience of the two nights was so horrifying that Xu Zhengqing, who has always had a good face, didn't care about his gaffe in front of his subordinates at this time. Instead, he told the other party everything that happened like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Cheng Yang frowned when he heard that, and pondered for a long time.

If it's really a problem with Weifang, why didn't anything happen during the first two days of living, but why did it happen during these two days?

Even if it was really a problem with the room, didn't Mr. Xu change rooms later?Logically speaking, this should not be the case.After all, the room he changed was far from the one he used to live in. It was neither adjacent nor the corresponding upper and lower floors.But even so, just now he encountered exactly the same situation as last night...

Could it be that that ghost followed Mr. Xu?

Thinking of this possibility, Cheng Yang suddenly felt horrified.Subconsciously, he shifted his gaze to Xu Zhengqing's back.Even though he couldn't see anything, he couldn't help but have strange associations at this moment.

There...is there really something there?

After thinking about it again, he felt something was wrong.I have an exorcism talisman bought from Xuanqing mountain people with a lot of money on my body.If there is really something evil, Fu should have a reaction.I remember the last time I was surrounded by a group of little blacks in the abandoned hospital, and the exorcism charms in his hand turned black...

Thinking about it, he quickly took out the amulet around his neck.When I opened it, it was intact.

Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is no evil spirit.After all, this talisman is quite expensive, and it can't withstand the repeated pretensions of those dirty things.

On the side, Xu Zhengqing looked at his sudden movement, somewhat inexplicable, "What is that?"

"Oh, this is an exorcism talisman, for body protection." He added, "I bought it from the former master who helped the company dispose of the abandoned hospital."

"how much is it?"

"Eight thousand."

Seeing his boss's burning eyes, Cheng Yang's heart tightened suddenly, "Why, what's wrong?"

"I pay double, you can sell it to me."

Cheng Yang:! ! !

To be honest, Cheng Yang was reluctant to sell at first.After all, he is now in a foreign country where supernatural events frequently occur. If he gave the amulet to others, he would have to bear a certain risk.But think about it carefully, there are so many tourists here every day, it is impossible for everyone to encounter strange things, right?

Moreover, the price offered by the boss is really attractive.

Sixteen thousand!His monthly salary is only [-] yuan.

For the sake of money, Cheng Yang finally reluctantly gave up.

On the other side, Xu Zhengqing, who got the amulet, seemed to have grasped at straws, and his heart, which had been hanging all night, was finally put back in his stomach properly.After transferring the money to Cheng Yang, he picked up the pillow and got up immediately: "It's getting late, I should go back."

After speaking, he glanced at the screen on the TV and said solemnly: "You should also go to bed early, don't watch the football game. You have to fly tomorrow."

Cheng Yang: "...Okay"

Perhaps because of the amulet, Xu Zhengqing never encountered any strange things in the second half of the night.For a while, I fell asleep peacefully.

On the second day, under the farewell of their partners, the two finally got on the plane and left here.

Looking at the thick clouds outside the plane window, Xu Zhengqing secretly thought that he would never come to Thailand again!

I thought that the matter of the evil door would end here, but I never thought that it would not be long before I returned home.

Everything he experienced in the Thai hotel began to repeat itself.

However, this time it was not him who was harassed, but his sister.

Xu Jingxian couldn't close her eyes all night.

Even though it was September weather, she felt bitingly cold.No matter how many clothes you wear, no matter how thick the quilt is, you are still shivering from the cold.Not only that, but she can hear very scary voices.

"Do...do...do"

The voice seemed to be coming from inside her cloakroom.

It was like someone was knocking on the door.

One click, one click and another.

Could it be that a thief broke into the house?

Thinking of this possibility, Xu Jingxian's scalp tingled.

After a long time, she gritted her teeth and got up from the bed, picked up the lamp on the table whose price was proportional to its weight, and walked cautiously towards the cloakroom.

"Do! Do! Do!"

The closer you got, the clearer the voice became.At the same time, Xu Jingxian's heart beat faster and faster.

She tightened the lamp in her hand, and shouted loudly: "Who's there!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound inside the door stopped suddenly.

Xu Jingxian didn't hesitate anymore, she picked up the desk lamp and was about to open the door.At this moment, there was a sudden sound from the cloakroom——

"Crack-"

Xu Jingxian's heart skipped a few beats instantly.

The voice next to the ear was extremely sharp, like fingernails scratching the blackboard, making the scalp numb.

She gasped, then locked the cloakroom, and then ran out to call for someone.

At this time, everyone else in the family was already asleep.Hearing the noise from outside, they all opened the door and walked out sleepily, "What's the matter?"

Seeing Xu Jingxian's frightened expression: "There is a thief in my room!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't even bother to sleep, and hurriedly followed her to investigate.

"It's in that cloakroom!"

Opening the locked door and pressing the switch, Xu Zhengqing walked in cautiously holding the golf club.As far as I could see, there were Xu Jingxian's clothes, bags and jewelry.I checked the closet, but there was nothing in it.

There was no one else in the room except her.

Seeing this, her mother yawned and said, "I just said that the security of our house is so good, how could there be thieves? You must have heard wrong."

Xu Jingxian was a little unconvinced when she got this answer.How could she have heard wrong?She could hear it clearly, the voice came from inside the cloakroom.

Her mother yawned and said, "Maybe there are mice in your house."

"..."

Xu Jingxian didn't want to argue with her either.It just got more and more tense.

If there was no one in the cloakroom, what was the sound she heard?

Mother Xu didn't intend to accompany her daughter to continue standing outside the door, but urged her: "Don't think too much, go to bed quickly. I have an appointment for a beauty treatment tomorrow." Then she turned and went back to the room.

Compared with Xu's mother's big and refined expression, Xu Zhengqing's expression became a little serious.

"Jingxian, is that the voice you heard just now?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and knocked on the wood beside the bed——

"Do...do...do"

Hearing that, Xu Jingxian's eyes widened suddenly, "That's right! That's it! I also heard the sound of fingernails scratching the blackboard."

Xu Zhengqing frowned, and asked again: "Then did you still feel cold just now?"

Seeing Xu Jingxian's incredulous expression, "Brother, how do you know?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhengqing frowned and his expression became more serious.

Xu Jingxian instinctively felt that the matter was not that simple, and asked: "Brother, what is going on? Are you also..."

Looking at her younger sister's face, Xu Zhengqing hesitated for a while, then nodded.

"What you just encountered, I also encountered it in Thailand some time ago."

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, feeling a bit embarrassed: "That thing seems to have followed me back."

……
