Obsession [Quick Transmigration]

===== Strange People and Things =====

Yu Li was awakened by a knock on the door, and the alarm clock at the bedside reminded him that it was 05:48. He sat up slowly, his eyes were extremely sleepy.

Hearing the soft voice at the door.

He was puzzled for a while: who would come to him early in the morning?

City a has been raining a lot during this period, and it has been raining continuously for several days.

He stood in front of the glass window, the wind was howling outside, and the raindrops hit the window with a burst of sound.

But he is not looking at the rain.

Under the eaves at the corner downstairs, stood a thin boy.

That person, Yu Li just met this morning - a tenant who knocked on the wrong door.

*

Yu Li likes energetic things, which are as contagious as the sun shining down, so he placed some vibrant green plants and flowers in his house. He wanted to use these to decorate the monotonous and boring life, but the effect was not very good.

Those plants were competing to bloom and bustling, but he was even more lonely.

It was as lonely as that skinny boy hiding from the rain.

"Hey."

He went downstairs with an umbrella and called the man softly.

The other party turned his head to look over, and there was a pale and dull face under the hair that was blown by the wind. He was very young. The heavy rain that poured down from the sky slightly wet the ends of his hair, which made his thin appearance even more perfect.

Yu Li pursed his lips, and told him the news from inside the building: "Aunt Zhou suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage and was admitted to the hospital last night. The situation seems to be not very optimistic. You don't have to wait any longer."

The man's dark eyes looked at him quietly, Yu Li felt a little cold all over his body, and before he could say anything, he heard the boy say indifferently: "Thank you."

Yu Li was stunned for a moment, and said, "No need."

After delivering the words, he actually breathed a sigh of relief, as if the lonely figure stuck in his mind had finally disappeared.

But when he was about to go back, he suddenly glanced over there.

He subconsciously invited: "It's raining so hard, do you want to come up and sit down before leaving?"

The other party looked at him again, and after a while: "OK."

Yu Li led the people upstairs, feeling a little annoyed, because he felt that he was meddling again.

Door number 401.

"Sit whatever you want, I'll get you a towel to dry your hair."

The man nodded slightly, but he didn't obey and sat down. Instead, he looked around the whole room. Yu Li came out of the bathroom, and the other party was still standing in the living room.

"My name is Yu Li," he said as he handed over the white soft towel, "What's your name?"

"Jiangmu."

Jiang Mu took the towel and gently wiped the ends of his hair. Standing beside him, Yu Li felt that the man was thinner than he had seen before.

Outside the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was howling.

Looking out of the glass window, it was still morning but it was as dark as night.

Yu Li is not a person who is good at dealing with people, and being in the same room with others will make him a little cramped, but fortunately, this man named Jiang Mu doesn't have such a sense of aggression on his body.

"Are you, a student?" Yu Li tentatively asked that very young face.

"reporter."

This answer is quite surprising.

"Is there no place to live at the workplace?"

"Small company, no place to settle." Jiang Mu turned to look at a room over there, "What do you do, live alone?"

Yu Li shook his head subconsciously, but soon his expression changed. He said, "Yes, I live alone. I'm an art teacher."

Jiang Mu glanced at his hand and responded, "Very good."

"How did you get in touch with Aunt Zhou?"

"She put the information online and I saw it."

"...It's unfortunate."

"Ah."

"Do you have a place to live now?"

"Hotel."

"Not going to work?"

"take a vacation."

Yu Li asked again and again, he is not a person who likes to get to the bottom of the matter, and he doesn't have so much curiosity on weekdays, it is rare to say so much today, even he himself is surprised.

After about half an hour.

The rain had almost stopped outside.

Jiang Mu got up and prepared to leave.

Yu Li made a strange mistake and said, "Why don't you rent my house?"

"Ok?"

"I live alone, and there is another room that is vacant. If you don't mind, just move here."

Jiang Mu glanced at the door over there: "Someone lived there before."

"..." Yu Li also turned his head to look over, "There is no one now."

"it is good."

As for the rent price, Yu Li asked for it very cheaply.

Jiang Mu felt that this person had never dealt with tenants before, but these were out of his consideration. After leaving Yu Li's house, he was stopped by a man hiding at the corner before he reached the elevator. Very old, with a scruffy beard and long hair, and looks about 30 years old.

The man came over and said mysteriously, "I saw you entered 401."

"Is something wrong?"

"Why are you there?"

The man has a pair of cloudy eyes, which hide different emotions.

Jiang Mu replied: "I just moved here."

"Moving here?" The man seemed a little surprised, rolled his eyes and felt a little relieved, "You said you just moved here?"

"Ah."

He scratched his hair and said with a smile: "Yes, that's right, I was thinking too much."

Jiang Mu didn't ask what he meant, he glanced at the man, then walked past him to the elevator.

Just at this moment, the elevator slowly came up, the door opened, and standing in the corner was a five or six-year-old boy, with pale skin, soaked all over, and a pair of big dark eyes staring at him.

Jiang Mu walked in, and the door slammed shut!

The elevator shook violently and went up. After a while, the lights began to flicker, and the elevator became very dark. He stretched out his hand and tapped the boy's head with his expression unchanged.

The elevator returned to normal in an instant.

Fourth floor, fifth floor, sixth floor, seventh floor, eighth floor, ninth floor

--Ding!

The elevator door opened slowly, and the little boy walked out with his head down, dripping with water, and the ground was also wet.

===== Strange People and Things =====

Cheng Xue saw the four plastic mannequins in front of that Xinxin clothing store again.

Two men and two women, naked.

They were about the same size, so close together that from a distance they seemed to be whispering.

One of the female plastic models, leaning sideways and tilting her head, stared at her with a slight smile, as if inviting her to join them.

Cheng Xue didn't dare to look at it, turned her head away as if she didn't see anything, and walked away quickly again.

She circled Huaiyuan Road for a long time, but couldn't get out.

Cheng Xue is 43 years old and works in a law firm, which is three streets away from her home, neither far nor near.

This afternoon, she was in the office arranging materials and organizing files, which caused her a lot of headaches. Thinking that her car had not yet been picked up after being sent for repairs, and the evening breeze in early autumn outside might relieve her tired nerves, Cheng Xue decided to walk back.

Now, though, she regrets the decision.

Cheng Xue felt that this place was a circle, and she kept turning in circles, going round and round.

*

Tianlan Community is located on Huaiyuan West Road, and it usually takes only 10 minutes by car. This is when the traffic volume is heavy and congested, but now she can't remember how long she has been walking.

One hour?two hours?Or six hours?

The screen of the mobile phone was inexplicably black, and she didn't wear a watch, so she could only continue walking with her own memory.

Huaiyuan West Road should be here soon, right?

But this question, at this moment, no one can answer her.

Huaiyuan Road is an old road, and there is a very famous night market street in the middle. Cheng Xue used to like to eat here, but since her son had a bad stomach last year, she never bought anything in the night market street.

It's delicious, but it's not clean.

Cheng Xue is walking on Huaiyuan Road now, but she misses the atmosphere of the night market very much in her heart.

There are shops with closed doors on both sides of the street. The night market street is not open tonight. Is there any leader from the province to inspect the street?

She was thinking in a mess, the street lights stood alone on the empty street, starting from turning into Huaiyuan Road, this road became more and more strange, although she also thought that there would be a fork in the road or simply go back to the same road and live in tonight Law firm, but no matter how she walked, there was no way to go back to the previous street.

"It's Huaiyuan Road again." Cheng Xue murmured, staring at the road sign at the fork.

The street sign reads "Huaiyuan Road" brightly.

Yes, she walked back again.

Looking at the intersection, Cheng Xue gritted her teeth and walked over. After walking not far, she met the four plastic models.

The female model still stares at her with a smile.

Cheng Xue stopped and stared at the past.

Two people, a dummy and a living person.

Looking at each other in the empty streets.

Not long after, Cheng Xue turned her head away.

She was afraid that if she stared any longer, the three dummies next to her would also look over.

So, she stepped forward again.

The sound of the high heels stepping on the ground was very loud. This kind of movement was too loud, as if her position was completely revealed in the dark, which made her very disturbed.

She thought of the dummy watching her from behind.

suddenly!

The sight of someone staring at him became extremely intense.

No way?Cheng Xue's face froze, and her heart started beating extremely fast.

But she dared not turn her head to look over.

She was afraid that she would see four fake faces staring at her, perhaps standing silently behind her.

*

The sky was gloomy, with no moon or stars.

The street lamps were dimly lit, barely illuminating the road.

She walked silently on the deserted road.

Cheng Xue felt something was wrong as she walked, the feeling of being stared at didn't seem to be the result of her wild imagination, she really felt that someone was following her!

Holding the cold mobile phone in her pocket, that kind of touch can clear her mind but it can't support her, not even the courage.

She didn't dare to look back, to see if anyone was following.

Cheng Xue pulled the satchel on her body, took a deep breath, and then ran forward quickly.

The sound of running high heels became louder and more urgent. Cheng Xue's ears listened carefully to everything around her, and she heard a heavy footstep amidst the noise.

Really, someone was following her!

This realization made Cheng Xue panic instantly. There was no way she could do it. She was 1.6 meters tall, but weighed only [-] kilograms. Even a thin man could drag her away with one hand.

She could only run forward desperately.

During the run, Cheng Xue was ready to fight to the death with the people behind her. She put her hand into her satchel and tightly held a small knife for self-defense. She thought that if the other party caught up with her, she would stab her out with her backhand. , if you are lucky, you may be able to stab the opponent's important parts.

But this idea did not materialize in the end.

She ran to the fork in the road again, and it was different from before, but this time there were two road signs, leading to two directions respectively.

"Huaiyuan Road", "Huangquan Road"

Is there Huangquan Road in Qingjiang City?Cheng Xue didn't dare to think about it.

Just then, a bus came from Huangquan Road.

Taking advantage of this gap, Cheng Xue quickly turned her head and looked behind her.

Fifty meters away from her, there is a very strong middle-aged man, grinning, staring at her.

The man was well dressed, but his expression was very strange.

He ran towards her step by step, Cheng Xue took two steps back and hurriedly waved to the bus.

The bus stopped in front of her, and the man ran up to her.

"You keep running."

The man lowered his voice and said maliciously, and directly grabbed her arm with his upper hand, which was extremely strong.

Cheng Xue knew that she had encountered a bad guy, but she was not completely confused, so she shouted for help to the driver at the top of her voice.

The lights in the bus compartment were not turned on, and through the street lights on the road outside, she could see that it was full of people.

This is the first time she has seen so many people on a late-night bus.

The door opened slowly, and the driver stared at them coldly.

The middle-aged man also knew that there are too many people to rob, so he flattered and said to the driver: "It's okay, it's okay, our husband and wife are having trouble."

Cheng Xue struggled, but this time she didn't call for help, she shouted: "I want to get in the car."

This is correct. Most people probably don't care about the private affairs between "husband and wife", but a driver will care about whether passengers can get on the bus or not.

The two of them stood in a stalemate for a few seconds, the middle-aged man glared at her fiercely, the bus door was still open, no one was urging it, but there was invisible pressure.

The man looked at the driver, lowered his head and leaned close to her ear and grinned grinningly: "You think you can run away like this, and I will drag you down at the next stop."

He was right in thinking, most people don't care about the private affairs between husband and wife, and naturally they don't care about their quarreling and getting out of the car. There will be people meddling.

The man dragged her into the car. As soon as he got in, Cheng Xue lowered her head and suddenly stretched out her hand holding the knife and stabbed her in the waist!

The knife was completely pierced into the flesh, and the man let go of his hands in pain. His body was unstable and he fell into the car. Cheng Xue jumped out of the car and ran away when he saw the opportunity.

The direction of the car was Huaiyuan Road, but she ran desperately in the opposite direction. At this moment, she didn't care if there was Huangquan Road in Qingjiang City.

Anyway, as long as you stay away from that dangerous man, it doesn't matter even if you encounter ghosts hitting the wall again.

in the bus.

The middle-aged man grinned in pain, he was very angry, he got up with his back and planned to go down and kill that smelly woman, but before he could go down, the car door was suddenly closed and the car started.

"Hey, stop! I want to get out of the car!" The man turned his head and cursed.

No one in the car paid any attention to him, so he yelled at the driver: "Stop the car quickly, do you hear me!" He slapped the driver, but what he didn't expect was that the driver's head fell off ...

"You can't go back."

*

Cheng Xue was panting heavily on Huangquan Road. Her high heels were actually very low, but she was still exhausted from running like this. I don’t know how long it took. When she calmed down, she found herself in a strange street, no, it was a strange road.

There is nothing on both sides of the road, it is empty and black.

When she looked back, it was a dark road, and when she looked forward, it was still a dark road.

Where exactly is this place?

Cheng Xue has nothing now, her satchel was left on the ground during the fight, and only her clothes remain on her body.

She rubbed her arms, planning to take a taxi at the intersection later.

Cheng Xue walked in silence, and after a few minutes, she suddenly heard a strange cry.

The voice is very thin and high-pitched, like a cat meowing?

Almost every household in Cheng Xue’s hometown has cats. When she was a child, she could always hear cats meowing, some in spring, some fighting, and some howling in boredom. She was afraid of cats since she was a child, because the sound was too human-like. To be precise, meowing is too much like a child crying.

When people make animal sounds, it seems that there is no special feeling, it is just a ventriloquist, but when animals make human sounds, it is more frightening.

Just like a cat meowing at this time.

She shook herself, not sure whether to keep going or what.

The desolate road, the miserable cat meowing, Cheng Xue froze on the road, she suddenly felt something wrong when she heard it, this sound was not a cat meowing, it seemed to be a child crying like a cat meowing, and it was getting closer.

This realization made her discouraged, and Cheng Xue slumped down on the ground. In the dark night sky, the cool evening wind, and the crying in her ears, she covered her face as if she wanted to cry but couldn't cry. After a while she thought of her son who was still at home, Cheng Xue stood up again, she couldn't stay here, she had to go home.

After a long, long time, she was walking and saw someone in front of her!

The man was also walking, looking very thin from the back, with short hair, he should be a man.

Cheng Xue's heart rose again, she stopped, and the man stopped too.

Cheng Xue didn't dare to speak. She saw the man turn around. For a moment, she was afraid that she would see a face without a face, or a person with the same front and back.

But nothing horrible happened.

The person in front is a very young man, judging by her age, he can almost be called a boy, about eighteen or nineteen or early twenties, with a dull face and indifferent eyes.

"……Hello?"

The man nodded slightly: "Hello."

The voice was very soft and cold, with no ups and downs, and no emotion could be heard. Cheng Xue calmed down. She was sure that the other party was a safe person, so she walked to him quickly.

The man looked at her quietly, neither curious nor defensive in his eyes, just looked at her lightly.

Cheng Xue asked, "What kind of place is this?"

The man replied: "A path."

Cheng Xue said, "I've never heard of such a road in Qingjiang City."

The man said, "I often walk this way."

Cheng Xue looked at him: "I want to go back to Huaiyuan Road."

The man pointed to the front: "The front is Huaiyuan Road."

"Impossible," she pointed to the back, "Huaiyuan Road is there, I came from there."

The man shook his head without speaking, ignored her, and continued walking.

Cheng Xue watched his back gradually drifting away, and suddenly seemed to hear crying again.

"Wait, wait for me." She shouted hastily.

And the man stopped as expected, neither angry nor irritable, and still looked at her quietly like that.

Cheng Xue couldn't figure out what happened next, she followed him for less than 5 minutes, and at a corner, her eardrum seemed to explode, and the surroundings were suddenly full of noise.

The night market on Huaiyuan Road?

She turned her head and looked over. The road she just walked turned into a narrow alley. The alley was so dark that she couldn't see what was inside.

"Did we just come out of here?"

"It's just a path."

The man continued to walk, walking through the night market, but the bustle here seemed to not touch him at all. After passing the night market, he went to Huaiyuan West Road.

Cheng Xue followed beside him: "Where are you going?"

He said, "Sky Blue Community."

Cheng Xue asked, "Are you also from Tianlan Community?"

He said, "Yeah."

Cheng Xue asked, "I've never seen you in the community before."

He said: "I just moved here, 401, Building [-]."

As soon as the words fell, they had already reached the gate of the community.

Cheng Xue looked at him and wanted to say something, but the man pointed to the door: "There's a bag over there."

She looked over and found that it was the satchel she had left at the fork in the road.

The doorman came out just in time: "Eh? Sister Cheng, are you back so late?"

Cheng Xue picked up her satchel, and that person had already entered the community.

She asked the doorman brother: "Xiao Yang, can you see that man?"

Xiao Yang turned his head: "Oh, you said that Mr. Jiang just moved here, what's the matter?"

Cheng Xue shook her head and didn't speak. Xiao Yang saw that her face was not looking well and didn't ask any more questions. After a few instructions, she went to bed early and went into the duty room.

There was no one else in the community at this time, she walked into Building No. [-], saw the young man walk into the elevator, she paused and turned to enter the stairwell.

When I got home, my son was already asleep, and high school was under a lot of pressure.

Her husband was not at home on a business trip tonight, so she washed up lightly, lay on the bed, thought about it, got up and took the phone out of the satchel, but the strange thing was that the phone turned on and the battery was fully charged.

Cheng Xue sat up and searched carefully. The money and nothing were lost, only the knife was missing.

She lay back on the bed and looked at the ceiling. It was one o'clock in the morning, and it was 09:30 when she came out of the lawyer's office.

I couldn't figure it out, did I really meet a ghost hitting the wall?

She couldn't figure it out, but sleepiness gradually eroded her consciousness after a while.

In the dream, it was still the deserted Huaiyuan Road. She was running there, and the middle-aged man was chasing after her, clutching her waist. She ran and ran and turned aside into Huangquan Road. Crying, and then another turn, she saw the young man talking to something, opening and closing his mouth, but couldn't hear clearly.

In a daze, Cheng Xue felt that his face was too pale.
