He is a widow

Xie Yunyun is very afraid of the cold.

He was weak since he was a child, and he was not very healthy when he grew up.Not a disease, but some kind of congenital deficiency.At this moment, that big cold hand was sticking to his waist, causing waves of coldness to strike.

In the indescribably cold, Xie Yunyan shivered slightly.

He subconsciously looked at Gu Yingli who was opposite him, but the latter didn't notice it at all, as if he didn't realize that there was a "thing" behind him.

Is it an illusion?

The arms connected to the hands firmly restrained him.

Xie Yunyan only felt that he was locked together with a cold iron wall. He couldn't hear Gu Yingli's rambling words clearly, but it was probably those old topics. The young man's lips were bloodless, and his fingertips seemed to be transparent.

[Yun Yun, you go forward. 】

The vague, vaguely familiar voice, like an auditory hallucination, emerged from the depths of his memory. Before he could distinguish it clearly, Gu Yingli saw that he hadn't responded for a long time, and felt something was wrong, "... Yun Yun? What's wrong with you?"

The young man's face was pale and his limbs were stiff. His eyes seemed to be out of focus, and he just looked forward blankly. If it weren't for the slight trembling of the fine eyelashes, it would have been a sculpture made of Zunyu.

"It's so cold."

Xie Yunyan finally murmured, "I'm so cold."

"cold?"

A summer night of more than 20 degrees is not cold in any case.Gu Yingli glanced at Xie Yunyan's extra coat in surprise, hesitated for a moment, "I'll accompany you to add another dress? Where is your car parked?"

He glanced at the open space in front of the haunted house, the show crew wasn't ready yet.

Xie Yunyun still didn't move.

Because those hands slowly went up, then up, passed under his ribs, stroked his side, and finally made intimate contact with him in a gesture of surrounding him.

...Even leaning on his shoulders, from back to front, encircling his whole body.

Confined in place.

like a hug.

Under Gu Yingli's concerned but ignorant gaze, Xie Yunyan even froze his breath, he trembled involuntarily, as if his skin, flesh, bones... all the way to the depths of his soul, were covered by this irresistible chill Soaked.

It's like being in the deep sea under [-] meters.

Deep, dark, silent, dead.Absolute domain without sunlight, temperature, and breath, and even perception and thinking no longer exist——

A pair of blood-colored pupils stared at him without breath or consciousness.

"Thank you Yunyun!"

Gu Yingli said loudly: "Xie Yunyan?!"

The screen suddenly shattered.

Xie Yunyun was startled.

It was completely dark, and night fell. The legendary Song family's old house was not far away, heavy and oppressive like a giant beast in the night.In the open space in the front yard of the old house, the staff of the program team were busy setting up various equipment.

In the very center of the venue, a bonfire was crackling and burning, and the jumping flames brought a bit of a human atmosphere—the only female guest in this issue, the little queen Meng Jiao, was in a good mood and roasted a few bunches of marshmallows.

The fragrance permeated lightly, recalling Xie Yunyan's sense of smell.

It's an illusion.

Must be an illusion.

Otherwise, why is it only me...only me feeling alone?

The coldness behind him seemed to subside a little.At least, not for a while.Xie Yunyan observed Gu Yingli carefully, the latter was indeed not aware of it, and was still staring at him with that familiar and eager gaze.

"Where's your car parked—forget it, go to my place? Did I bring an extra suit, or should I bring you my coat?"

"Need not."

Xie Yunyan reflexively refused quickly, "It's not cold now...I'm going to warm up."

His thoughts were still a little messy, and he was a little absent-minded when he sat by the campfire.Gu Yingli followed him back, hesitant to speak.

Li Yu and Meng Jiao didn't leave by the campfire. When they saw Xie Yunyan, they unconsciously straightened their backs.

The host just came over, "It's almost time... shall we start?"

"Will you meet a ghost tonight" uses the gimmick of haunted house exploration, and every issue invites celebrities to play truth and adventure.

Telling the truth requires gossip, while a big adventure involves entering a real haunted house.Most of the guests are glamorous big stars on weekdays, but now they can only choose between being prying into their privacy and being frightened, thus attracting a large number of people who eat melons.

After the usual opening remarks, a round of small games ended with a lively atmosphere.Xie Yunyan gradually forgot the coldness just now, and devoted himself to it. Coincidentally, at the beginning of the second round, the music stopped before he read his lines with the props in his hand.

...It's true if you think about it, every guest should take turns to participate.

The host brought the card and spread it out in the palm of his hand, with the pattern on the back facing Xie Yunyan, "Come on, let's take a look."

The four cards are exactly the same, 50% chance.Xie Yunyan thought for a moment and chose the one on the far left.

"Oh, it's a big adventure."

The host smiled and said: "Yun Yan is the first time to participate in our program... First ask a customary question, are you afraid of ghosts?"

"Not afraid."

Xie Yunyan said calmly: "I even think this question is very strange."

Host: "Huh? Why?"

"Because ghosts used to be people."

The guests all looked at him curiously. With so many eyes on him, Xie Yunyan said calmly: "Why is no one afraid of ghosts when they are humans, but they should be afraid after they are ghosts? Since ghosts are transformed by humans, then in my case, ghosts and ghosts People are the same."

He actually thinks that there are no ghosts in the world, but this does not prevent him from being afraid of ghosts.

"... makes sense."

The host didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then draw again and see your big adventure mission."

This time there were more than a dozen cards, Xie Yunyan stretched out his hand, and his white fingertips drew a circle from left to right in mid-air, and stopped at the rightmost card.

Not on purpose.He observed carefully and found that the host's expression was the most relaxed here.

Seeing him pull out this card, the host smiled and said, "Well, you're lucky."

"This is the easiest task of our show this episode."

Just enter the hall of the old house and find the props.

The gate of the old house is open, and you can see the bonfire in the front yard out of the corner of your eye. Even if you are really afraid of ghosts, you still feel quite safe, so it is the simplest.Xie Yunyan stood up from Shan Ruliu, took a step, and soon stood in the empty hall.

There was thick dust everywhere, and there were messy footprints on the floor after the show crew came in.Xie Yunyan followed the footprints, and it was easy to notice the dark gray chest of drawers in the corner. Only two of the five drawers were still there, and they were tightly closed.

Beside the bonfire, Gu Yingli's eyes unconsciously followed his back and looked into the mansion.

The young man stood still in front of the chest of drawers, and the flashlight shone forward, stretching Xie Yunyan's shadow backwards.His beige coat is quite eye-catching in the dark, like a white rose that is also very eye-catching in the dark, firmly locking Gu Yingli's thoughts.

Gu Yingli moved restlessly, and in the next second, his eyes suddenly widened, and he fixed his gaze in disbelief.

Behind Xie Yunyan, there was a shadow.

In a dimly lit room, this is not noticeable.But Gu Yingli could clearly see that there was a faint black shadow on the right side of Xie Yunyan's plain coat, which almost merged with the darkness in the room.

The black figure was extremely tall and slender, much taller than the long-legged and well-proportioned Xie Yunyan.Even though he couldn't see the details clearly and only felt like a vague human figure, Gu Yingli still felt that even with a back view, the other party had a strong sense of oppression that should not be underestimated.

It's just... almost like a person, but the movements are a little stiff.

Yes, the program team made the game session, right?Where is the projector?It was so real, he almost believed it... Gu Yingli suppressed his panic and looked around, but the other guests didn't pay attention there, they were just chatting.

Only he saw it, he saw the black shadow beside Xie Yunyan.

...the shadow disappeared again.

Xie Yunyun has already opened the drawer.

The first one is empty; the second one contains a photo, black and white, with many people on it, which is probably the background setting for this haunted house adventure.Xie Yunyan pulled the flashlight closer and looked at the photo carefully.

They were all wearing summer clothes, old and young, men and women, vaguely gathered around to take a group photo, but their faces were blurred and could not be seen clearly.

If this is a prop requested by the program group, that's normal.After all, you can't use a clear face.

He sat back by the bonfire again, Gu Yingli was out of his mind, with a strange expression on his face, staring at him closely, "Yun Yan, did you see just now..."

Xie Yunyan's heart skipped a beat, and she asked him, "What did you see?"

"...No, nothing."

In front of the person he likes, Gu Yingli still wants to keep a good impression.Swallowing the words again, he pulled himself together and said, "The program team won't set up too difficult puzzles..."

He tried his best to talk a few words, but he didn't know what he said.He seemed vaguely aware that something was wrong today.

Something had happened beyond his control, and he knew nothing about it.

The props were brought back, guided by the host, everyone began to chat about the legend of this haunted house.Contrary to the stereotype, Meng Jiao, who looks sweet and lovely, is actually a lover of horror movies and knows more than the host.

"I searched online gossip posts in advance." She said with a smile: "This land used to belong to a big family. But something happened, the family fell, and all the people in the family passed away. The land has passed through several hands. , the main house was also demolished, and this much smaller house was built on the spot.”

"However, since the main house was demolished, no matter who lives in it, some strange things will happen."

A standard opening for a horror story, yes.

"The people who live here—everyone," Meng Jiao deliberately paused, mysteriously, "they will die for no apparent reason, and their end will be miserable."

"There are those who are in their prime but suddenly get sick, there are children who never run around but run out and get into a car accident, there are also invited celestial masters and experts who are all helpless, and even themselves die soon after accident. .”

"In the end, it was discovered that even the owners of the original old things in the mansion were all in trouble."

"It seems that there is an owner here who doesn't like to be disturbed, and doesn't like people to touch his things."

The photos Xie Yunyan brought back were done well by the program team, but the old cabinets are the original ones.

From a certain point of view, this can be regarded as touching the original owner's stuff.

He knew it was the formula for a ghost story.But as soon as the words finished, Gu Yingli leaned closer, seeming to comfort him, "...It's all fake, don't worry. Some haunted houses that are rumored to be very ominous are actually mostly rumors."

The corners of Xie Yunwan's lips curled up, his eyes flickered a few times, and he replied softly, "I know."

"But I hope there's even the slightest chance of that."

"That way I can convince myself that those who died may still be with us."

... Gu Yingli's face turned completely pale.
