my roommate is not human

In the quiet midnight, her voice was extremely shrill.

With the movement of raising his head, the long hair slowly slid to the sides, revealing his face.

I can't tell which part is the eyeball, her whole face is like a shiny black coal ball, covered with mottled cracks.

Gray and white bugs came out of the cracks one by one, some crawled around on the face, some crawled and fell down without standing still.

An incomparably terrifying feeling swept over his whole body in an instant, Ye Xi was so frightened that the hairs all over his body stood on end, and screamed out of control, "Ahhh!"

Unbelievably, he screamed so hoarsely that his ears were nearly deaf, but the girl's voice was still clearly heard: "Let me out! Let me out! Let me out..."

Then Ye Xi suddenly realized that the voice did not "hear" the girl in front of him "saying" from the mouth, but spontaneously sounded in his brain - "Let me out! Let me out! Let me out ..." Like a mantra, it reverberated in stereo in his head, and he felt that his headache was about to explode.

***

"Ye Xi! Ye Xi! Wake up!" Someone was pushing him hard.

Ye Xi suddenly opened his eyes.

The mottled shadow of the moon is reflected in the room through the glass window, and the pillow in front of the bed is covered with a layer of blue tulle, foggy.

Vaguely, he saw that there was indeed a person standing in front of him, but it was not the long-haired girl with a briquette face, but Yu Yun.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Yu Yun leaned over and asked with concern.

"Hmm." Ye Xi agreed vaguely, his heart was still beating wildly, and he subconsciously wiped his forehead, which was covered in cold sweat.

Jiang Kairui and the others were obviously woken up too. Jiang Kairui propped himself up on his arms, half-raised his body, stretched his neck and poked his head this way, and asked worriedly: "Ye Xi, did you dream of something terrible? Why is it called so loudly?" Loud?"

"Sorry to wake you up." After a while of silence, Ye Xi managed to mumble something out of his throat.

"It doesn't matter to us," Jiang Kairui said empathetically, "You must have nightmares when you were frightened by Brother Yu's prank today, oh, not yesterday."

Jin Peng immediately asked alertly: "Xia Yu, what did you do yesterday?"

Xia Yu glared at Jiang Kairui bitterly (given the darkness of the room, his small movements are no different from winking to blind people, so Jiang Kairui didn't notice it), and explained nervously: "I just had a little chat with Ye Xi. Just kidding, who knew he was so timid that he would be frightened." The more he spoke, the lower his voice was, because he had already felt the strong cold air emanating from Jinpeng's body.

Jinpeng said coldly: "Xia Yu, you've been busy recently, haven't you?"

As soon as Xia Yu heard his cold tone, his heart skipped a beat. He tried his best to hide under the quilt, and grabbed the corner of the quilt to act like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law: "I know I made a mistake, I don't dare to do it again, I promise to change it."

"Correct the mistake this time, and continue to make new mistakes, right..." Before Jin Peng finished teaching him, Jiang Kairui was full of thoughts about Ye Xi, and said to Ye Xi from the air: "Ye Xi, go to bed quickly, wait You fell asleep, I will call your soul for you."

"Soul?" Yu Yun frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Well, the so-called soul calling," Jiang Kairui explained solemnly, "is a custom in our hometown. If children are frightened or play too crazy, they will often lose their souls.

Usually, a mother knocks on the door of the child's bedroom with a rice spoon after the child is asleep, and shouts the child's name while knocking: 'xxx, you are home. xxx, go home. 'Shout this several times, and the lost soul of the child will come back.

I was timid when I was a child, and I was frightened at every turn. Every time my mother called my soul for me. "

Of course, Xia Yu scoffed at this kind of superstitious behavior that had no scientific basis.

However, Xia Yu couldn't wish for him to temporarily divert Jin Peng's attention and make him forget about his troubles.

So, he hurriedly said jokingly: "Do we have to have a mother? We don't know how to contact Ye Xihe/Mom/Mom."

Jiang Kairui said: "That's not necessarily true, it just means that the closer people are, the higher the success rate is. The closest person to children is their mother."

"Oh." Xia Yu thought for a while, "Yu Yun and Ye Xi are the closest among us, they are only wearing the same pair of pants, let him call Ye Xi's soul."

Carey Jiang agrees: "Whether it works or not, there's no harm in trying."

"Do you have any brains?" Luo Ke rubbed his temples and sat up slowly, "You all look like third-rate gods."

"Brother Luo, are you awake too?" Jiang Kairui greeted.

"Nonsense," Luo Ke rolled his eyes at him (Jiang Kairui couldn't see it, of course), "Ye Xi's howling is like howling wolves, and the dead will be woken up."

"Well, Ye Xi was scared by Xia Yu, and we are discussing calling his soul." Jiang Kairui didn't care about his bluntness, and said another nonsense.

Because his name was mentioned by him, Xia Yu was worried about arousing Jin Peng's anger again, Xia Yu wanted to strangle him very, very much.

"What do you call a soul?" Luo Ke sneered, "The uneducated country old ladies deceive themselves and others, you also believe it. Anyone can call back a lost soul. Why do you want a celestial master? Everyone can be a master." Great fairy."

Jiang Kairui was not angry when he taught him a lesson. Instead, he said excitedly, "Yes, Brother Luo, your family has been Taoist priests for generations, and they must be able to catch ghosts. Please help Ye Xi call his soul back."

"When did I say that Ye Xi lost his soul?" Luo Ke was speechless at this little idiot.

"But me, I think he looks a lot like..." Jiang Kairui still tried to defend himself.

"I still think you look like an idiot, are you an idiot?" Luo Ke sarcastically asked.

"..." Being despised by naked/naked again, Jiang Kairui flattened her mouth.

"Nightmare, haven't you ever done it? You haven't done it? Make a fuss." Luo Ke said impatiently, "You all lie down for me, and sleep honestly. If you can't sleep, count the sheep by yourself. Who? If it makes me sleep uneasy, I will call a few ghosts to play with you in your dreams."

Jiang Kairui quickly covered his little head with the quilt, not daring to say a word.

Yu Yun was still standing in front of Ye Xi's bed, never leaving, and asked Ye Xi in a low voice, "Do you want some water? How about I make you a glass of milk? Or do you want juice?"

Ye Xi is like a child, he likes snacks and flavored drinks, so his locker is always stocked with milk powder, fruit, potato chips, snow cakes and so on.

He shook his head: "I don't want to drink anything. I'm fine. You can go to bed too."

"How about this," Yu Yun was still worried, and suggested, "Why don't I move your bed and sleep with you?"

"No need, the bed is so narrow, two people can't sleep." Ye Xi said.

"It's okay, I'll make a point..." Before Yu Yun could finish speaking, Luo Ke impatiently interjected, "Yu Yun, are you finished? Ye Xi is a young man, not your daughter-in-law." , don’t wait on me like a delicate flower, you go back to sleep quickly.”

"Luo Ke! What are you talking about?" Yu Yun was annoyed, glaring at Ye Xi's upper bunk guy.

"I'm telling the truth, and you still share the same bed, do you think you two are Liang Shanbo Zhu Yingtai?" Luo Ke said harshly.

"Hey! Luo Ke, I haven't settled the debt with you yesterday, you actually took advantage of Ye Xi!" Thinking of the new and old hatred, Yu Yun raised his eyebrows in anger, and clenched his fists.

"First, I didn't take advantage of him. Second, even if I took advantage of him, it has nothing to do with you, it's between me and him." Luo Ke said slowly.

"It's in the middle of the night, what are you talking about?" Hearing that they were getting louder and louder, Ye Xi felt his head was getting bigger, so he quickly pushed Yu Yun and comforted him, "Go to sleep, there are classes in the morning, and I want to go to bed too." asleep."

"Are you really okay?" Yu Yun asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Ye Xi stretched out his hand from under the quilt, waving it pretending to be indifferent.

"Yu Yun, go to sleep." Jin Peng also spoke.

Yu Yun looked at Ye Xi again, and then went back to his bed full of confusion.

The room was quiet again, Ye Xi wrapped the quilt tightly, turned over, he didn't feel sleepy at all, his mind was full of the long-haired girl he just dreamed about.

It looks so weird, like Africans, but Africans also have white eyes, right?That girl, it should be the part of the eyes, is dark and blended with the black skin like a black pot, and it is impossible to tell the difference.

Ye Xi felt very strange, how could he dream of such a girl?The only darker girls he has ever seen are some African compatriots.

When he left the medical building, he clearly heard the woman's shrill cry: "Let me out! Let me out! Let me out..."

Exactly the same as what I heard in my dream.

What does this dream portend?If there was a woman screaming, why did everyone else say they didn't hear it, but he alone heard it?

Ye Xi's mind was in a mess, and he was thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard Luo Ke muttering: "It's really troublesome."

Before Ye Xi understood what he meant by "trouble", a hand was already stretched out from above, "Here, put it on and you won't have nightmares. Remember to return it to me tomorrow."

Ye Xi's heart twitched suddenly, in a trance, he felt that he knew what Luo Ke gave him.But how could he know?

The cool and hard feel is so familiar, so familiar that it is almost ready to come out.

But why does it feel familiar?When did you feel it?Ye Xi couldn't remember anything.

Hanging the cool and hard pendant around the neck, the skin felt slightly cool and smooth, and the panic and anxiety calmed down strangely.

It's really a good thing. I don't know if Luo Ke is willing to sell it?It doesn't seem good to take someone's love, let's see what it looks like, let my brother buy one for himself, Ye Xi thought about it in a daze, and soon fell asleep.

This time he slept soundly and did not dream again.
