nosy on you

childhood nightmare

Everyone present stood still, including Xu Rui who was bold and calm, as if there was a scourge ahead.

Gu Xi is not afraid of the dark, what he is afraid of is the memories derived from the illusory word "ghost".

From entering the secret room to now, he has been well protected. He didn't watch the horror video before entering the arena, and he didn't see the female ghost crawling in the strict mouth. Apart from the tense and depressing atmosphere, there is nothing much else to say scary.

Especially the antics of Chang Feng and Xu Rui blocking the door to prevent the NPC from entering the house just now, it even gave him the illusion that he was on the wrong set, and abruptly turned the horror movie into a comedy.

"Go in..." Gu Xi cleared his throat, "Our first two levels took about 10 minutes, time is tight."

"Well, I'll clear the way..." Xu Rui took the phone and walked into the corridor first, "Everyone follow closely."

"Crazy, you are dead..." Mu Xue pulled Xu Yao to follow behind him, "The two of us walk in the middle."

"Can you change the word..." Chang Feng clicked his tongue, "What's the matter? I've been passed down for nine generations, and I still want to continue the incense of the Chang family."

The area that the light from the screen can illuminate is very limited. The two-meter-wide corridor is actually not too long. Maybe it's because people tend to lose their ability to judge in the dark. Gu Xi feels like he hasn't come to the end for a long time.

As soon as Chang Feng finished speaking, the double doors of the living room were slammed shut and locked from the outside. The already narrow space was suddenly filled with screams, and the eardrums were aching from the shock.

"You talk too much, didn't you tell you to stare at the back..." Mu Xue managed to slow down, and punched him on the back with her fist, "It's all right now, we are locked up here and the sky should not be called!" The ground is not working, what do you say?"

"Aren't you too into the drama..." Chang Feng laughed, "This is just a fucking game, the worst thing is to leave early."

"That's right, I was so scared..." Mu Xue also laughed out loud, "Why are those staff members so elusive?"

There are three doors and three wall lamps on both sides of the passage, but the doors are all decorations and cannot be opened at all. There are two touchpads embedded under each lamp, which are made of black acrylic and printed with palm patterns.

If you want to leave, you have to open the iron door at the end of the corridor. Xu Rui took a photo with his mobile phone.

Gu Xi looked around carefully with the help of a weak light source. There were no switches, handles, or combination locks on the door. No matter whether you pulled it in or pushed it out, the iron door didn't move at all.

"Here's a hint!" Yan Jing pointed to the small sticker on the right corner and shouted.

Gu Xi hurriedly looked in the direction he pointed, and there were indeed two lines of words written on the palm-sized sticker.

-Recently, many tourists have entered the abandoned hotel without permission to explore. In order to prevent accidents, the police have installed traps on the iron gates of the corridors. If you want to leave, please crack them first.

"Will it be like in the costume drama, the door of the wall lamp will open automatically?" Xu Yao said.

"It's possible. Didn't you mean to lock the door? Why don't we try it." Mu Xue immediately reached out to the nearest lamp, grasped the lotus-shaped base and twisted it twice, but there was no response.

Gu Xi admired the unconstrained imagination of these two women, and those who didn't know thought they were descendants of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and they traveled to modern times because of their obsession with practicing kung fu.

"Woman Xia, don't mess with those lamps again..." Yan Jing quickly stopped her violent behavior, "If it breaks, you have to pay for it."

"If you let her turn, maybe you can find the mind method of the great movement of heaven and earth on the lamp base..." Chang Feng leaned against the wall and laughed out of breath, "If you have a high level of comprehension, we can go out after practicing on the tenth floor."

"The touchpad should be used to control these lights..." Xu Rui held the phone with his left hand, and pressed the palm print pattern on the acrylic panel with his right hand. The wall lamp ignored him and continued to darken his face, "Why is there no response?"

"Maybe you have to press them at the same time." Gu Xi turned around and walked to the opposite side of him, put his hands together, and the light bulb above his head lit up instantly. Although the light was not strong, it was much better than the blackness in front of him just now.

The corridor was empty, and there were no switches except for the lamp and the door. As long as you let go of your hand, the wall lamp would go off. After repeated attempts, the iron door was still firmly locked without any change.

"Let me try this." Yan Jing walked under the light bulb that was a door away from him, and as soon as his palm touched the touchpad, the light that Gu Xi pressed went out immediately, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

"It seems that only one light can be turned on at a time..." Xu Rui frowned, "Why don't I use the walkie-talkie to ask the staff for help, and it would be a waste of time to spend it like this."

"There are still four levels, and it will definitely become more and more difficult..." Gu Xi said, "If you ask for help so soon, what will you do next?"

When he said these words, he was very happy. Xu Rui had always looked smug and confident from the beginning to the end. He didn't expect him to stumble, and he would be sorry for his conscience if he didn't take the opportunity to sarcasm.

It doesn't matter if you can't solve the problem, it's fun to see some people make a fool of themselves in public.

"Have you noticed that there are six wall lamps here, exactly the same number of people as us..." Mu Xue suddenly raised her voice, "Didn't the boss say that this secret room requires at least six people to play?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Yao asked.

"I'm just guessing. Could it be that everyone presses the touchpad together so that all the lights will light up at the same time..." Mu Xue replied, "Only when all six lights are on can the mechanism of the iron gate be opened. ..."

"It makes sense..." Chang Feng gave her a thumbs up, "You'll know if you try it."

There is no better way at the moment, it is better to be a dead horse doctor than to stand here and stare at each other. After everyone found their respective positions, Gu Xi moved his palm away, and Xu Rui put his phone into his trouser pocket.

The light source was lost in the corridor, and there was only thick ink-like darkness in the sight, which was no different from being blind.

But Gu Xi knew that Yan Jing was standing less than two meters to his right, and he could still hear the sound of breathing.

"Are you all ready..." Xu Rui roared, "I'll count to three, and everyone should try to keep their movements consistent."

Before he could count down, Gu Xi felt a cold hand on the back of his hand. He turned his head to face Yan Jing, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, why are you touching me?"

The hand quickly retracted.

"I haven't..." Yan Jing replied in a low voice, "Don't wrong people."

"Fuck, if you don't admit it, who are you scaring..." Gu Xi pointed at him and cursed, "Be careful I beat you!"

"I really haven't touched you..." Yan Jing seemed to be annoyed, "Believe it or not, you..."

Just halfway through the conversation, a series of piercing guttural voices suddenly sounded between the two of them, which was exactly the same as the female ghost who crawled out of the bedroom closet earlier. Gu Xi suddenly felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, and his blood pressure almost Soared to two hundred.

Strictly pressed the touchpad, the dim light filled the entire corridor, Gu Xi hurriedly glanced to the side, the wooden decoration door on the right opened a gap, two pale claws were grabbing the door frame, slender His fingernails were gently scratching the wall.

"Ah—" He sat on the ground with weak legs, and retreated into the corner with his hands and feet.

All kinds of monsters and ghosts that appeared in childhood nightmares seemed to break through the seal, and rushed towards him with their teeth and claws. Some were pulling his hair, some were pinching his neck, and some were gnawing on his toes.

Gu Xi roared frantically, and slapped his hands on his head and body continuously, but those things couldn't be driven away no matter what.

"What's the matter with you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Yan Jing hurriedly stepped forward to hug him, and his shoulders and arms were pumped several times with great force, and his skin burned and hurt.

"It's okay..." Chang Feng turned on the wall lamp, staring at the pair of ghost hands that hadn't been retracted, "He was hit by a frontal blow."

"Ring the bell! I'll take him out!" Yan Jing turned around and roared.

Gu Xi was trembling, and shaking very violently, there were flashes of water in the red eye sockets, it was the first time for Yan Jing to see him so out of control, only unbearable fear would make people on the verge of collapse.

What happened to him?

Hearing the roar, Gu Xi raised his head, his arms slowly dropped to his side, leaning against the wall, his chest heaved violently, he was lifted rigorously, the security door of the corridor opened, and the staff led them back to the waiting area from the passage .

"Drink a glass of water..." Mu Xue handed the paper cup in front of him, "I would have fainted from fright on the spot."

"Thank you." Gu Xi sat on the sofa for 2 minutes and took a sip from the cup. His mood stabilized a little, but his body was still shaking, and the water in the cup splashed on the coffee table.

Yan Jing patted him on the back lightly, obviously he had a lot of things he wanted to say and ask, but there were too many people at the moment, it seemed that the timing was not right, so he finally refrained from opening his mouth.

Gu Xi looked at him, hesitated to speak several times, bit her lower lip slightly white and did not hold back a word.

"You swore you were not afraid before..." Xu Rui said with a smile in his voice, "Why are you so scared?"

This is simply a proper way to add insult to injury.

Strictly staring at Xu Rui in surprise, before he could make a sound to help, Gu Xi suddenly stood up and rushed out of the secret room without looking back. When everyone chased him out, the elevator he was on had already started to go down.

"Let's leave today..." Yan Jing kept poking the elevator button, "We will continue other activities next time."

"It's okay, you go after him..." Chang Feng said, "I'll stay and pay the bill, you don't have to worry about it."

"Thank you." Yan Jing nodded, and got into the car as soon as the door opened.

He rushed to the underground parking lot of the building next door without stopping, but Gu Xi's forklift had long since disappeared. This guy didn't know what was going on, so he left him and ran away first, without grace.

Yan Jing stopped a taxi by the side of the road and went straight back to the community.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Gu Xi's pair of AJs on the floor mat. The master bedroom was locked from the inside. He knocked for a long time but didn't hear a single reply. He almost couldn't resist kicking the door.

The moment he swung his fist and punched it hard again, Gu Xi opened the door unexpectedly. He didn't stop the car, and flew forward. After running for several meters, he fell on the mattress.

"Did you fucking do it on purpose!" Strictly maintained the posture of the toad, and cursed in a muffled voice.

"If you push harder, you can directly hit a hole in the wall..." Gu Xi didn't hold back his laughter, walked to the bed and fell into a free fall, which fell heavily on his back, "I thought You're going to play with them till night."

"Damn it, I don't know how heavy you are..." Yan Yan felt that his intestines were about to come out of his mouth, he arched his back and wanted to push him away, but failed a few times, "Get out!"

Gu Xi put his arms around his waist, put his chin on his shoulders, and said in a low voice, "The day my mother passed away, I ran to the construction site near the hospital by myself, and sat in the cement pipe for most of the night."

Rigorousness stopped struggling, turned his head and did not speak.

"I remember the wind was very strong that night, the grass was blowing non-stop, as if someone was walking back and forth, and the wild cat kept barking, similar to the cry of a baby..."

Gu Xi continued, "Later, my grandma brought someone to find me. When I got home, she told me many ghost stories. I was very scared and had a fever for several days."

"Is she sick? Weren't you only nine years old at that time..." Yan Jing was shocked, and the restraint he had cultivated over the years was instantly burned to ashes with anger, "Why did she deliberately scare you?"

"Probably because I'm afraid that I'll disappear again..." Gu Xi sniffed, "I've had nightmares for a long time, always dreaming of my mother lying on the hospital bed covered with a white cloth, and the things my grandma told me. story, every time I have to watch over my grandma to fall asleep."

"That's why you are so afraid of ghosts?" Yan Jing felt guilty, "I'm sorry, why didn't you tell me earlier."

Before today, he still thought that his grandma was already very strange, but he didn't expect that it was not good enough in comparison. Facing a child who had just lost his mother, instead of giving a word of comfort, he threatened her with words. This kind of behavior is really unimaginable.

And this person is Gu Xi's close relative, wouldn't her conscience ache?

"I thought I'd almost forgotten it after such a long time..." Gu Xi said, "But I remembered everything just now."

"It's okay, everything is over..." Yan Jing felt a little sad, and quickly added, "If you have nightmares again in the future, just call me, and I will watch over you."

"Then how do you make it up this time?" Gu Xi whispered next to his ear, sliding his hands down his side waist.

"Hey, hey, what do you want!" Yan Jing tensed his body, raised his head and shouted.

He seriously doubted that Gu Xi's previous paragraphs were for the smooth implementation of hooliganism activities, and the guilt and sadness were instantly shaken into a pile of debris, and all the scum was blown away by the restlessness in his body.

It is impossible to find another person who is so absurd to be in heat right after inciting love.

The phone in his pocket rang, and Yan Jing was very grateful to this kind person for his timely fire call, at least giving him a legitimate and reasonable excuse, after all, he hadn't fully recovered from the exhausted energy last night.

"Let go, I'll answer the phone first..." He roared, "Just in case there is something urgent."

"Head up, let me remind you that the debts owed must be paid back." Gu Xi turned over impatiently.

Sighing rigorously, he took out his phone and looked at it. How could his aunt call him at this time? It's been a week since his birthday, so it's definitely not as simple as sending blessings.

"Auntie." He pressed the answer button.

"Xiao Jin, I have something to tell you..." Auntie hesitated for five seconds, "Your father just contacted me."

"Who are you talking about, my dad?" Yan Jing was stunned.
