stories that happened on a specific occasion
Chapter 23 The red mug on the coffee table
The twelve guests in the world are all in full bloom because of Yang Qi.
Only chrysanthemums bloom because of Yin Qi.
It is precisely because of this that the day when the chrysanthemum begins to bloom, is the time when the yin flourishes and the yang declines in this world.
At this time, I looked at the glass of wine called "Gengsheng" in front of me, and I couldn't raise my glass for a long time.
Zuo Zhenzhen was very happy, drinking one cup after another.
Looking at Zuo Zhenzhen, who was already a little confused, and the mess on the table, in the tavern at two o'clock in the morning, I was overwhelmed by the situation in front of me, with a dazed look on my face.
And all of this starts with what happened to Zuo Zhenzhen before.
Zuo Zhenzhen's cooperation with Lao Deng has become more and more tacit since the post-disaster reconstruction news in Japan has received attention, and her career prospects can be described as bright.Unfortunately, due to the deepening investigation of the "White Tiger Totem Pattern" and "Sato Clan", the recent work status has been distracted.The several news reports they wrote were frequently dismissed, even Lao Deng was implicated, and they were no longer responsible for the report on the conclusion of the Hirata Kenichi case.
Thinking that all her efforts were in vain, Zuo Zhenzhen, who was angry and sad, chose to get drunk before resting.
So, around one o'clock in the morning, my cell phone rang.
Although it showed Zuo Zhenzhen's phone number, it was a man who spoke.
This man first introduced himself, saying that he was the owner of the tavern, and then told me an address, and asked me to go and pick him up immediately.
I walked into this early morning tavern, and there were no customers inside.The business hours are written on the blackboard at the entrance, from [-] am to [-] pm.
"Don't sit here, someone."
When Zuo Zhenzhen saw me, she scolded me at the first sentence.
When the tavern owner saw me, he seemed to see a savior. He handed me the bill kindly, and said, "She just sat here by herself, talking to herself and drinking all night."
I looked at the dozen or so wine bottles that were already empty on the table, and there were all wines of various colors.After paying the bill, I tried to help Zuo Zhenzhen up.But she grabbed her and said, "Enjoy this glass of wine with me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her neck and drank a cup first, and then continued.It was the first time I saw her pouring herself a drink while shedding tears.
I had to sit down with her.
"Don't sit here, there are people." Just as he was about to sit down on her right, Zuo Zhenzhen said again.
I leaned against her and sat on the left side of her.But I don't know if she was drinking too much, or if she really saw something again, she kept talking to her right side.
"Do you know how hard it was for me to find these materials?"
"Do you know how much overtime I have worked?"
"I didn't even rest when I was sick."
While drinking, Zuo Zhenzhen confided in the vacant seat on the right.It wasn't until she called my name that I realized that she must have been too drunk to realize that I was actually sitting on her left.
At this point, I must stop the loss in time and take her away from here.
After finally loading her into a taxi, something happened again in the apartment building.
I pressed her floor, but Zuo Zhenzhen did not let go of the elevator key board, crying and shouting: "I'm not going home, I don't want to go home."
I had no choice but to coax her, and pressed the floor she had pressed off again.
"I said I'm not going home."
At this time, she seemed to be awake again, and then looked carefully at the elevator button, and pressed the floor of my house.
"I want to go here."
I sighed and looked at the time, it was almost three o'clock.
"I'm going to find this person to judge." Zuo Zhenzhen said suddenly: "Why do you think he is so serious? I just said a few words to him, but he really ignored me." Speaking of this, suddenly Zuo Zhenzhen grabbed my collar and shouted to me while crying: "Why do you say?"
I looked at Zuo Zhenzhen, not knowing how to answer.
I don't know if she can't figure out who the person in front of her is, and I don't know what she means by saying this.Just when I was hesitating, Zuo Zhenzhen suddenly let go of the hand holding the collar, straightened her arms, propped her hands on the elevator wall, and then leaned towards me.
Seeing this, I hurriedly straightened up and leaned back.
Fortunately, the elevator door opened at this moment, and I quickly helped her out of the elevator.Because of the shaking of the elevator, Zuo Zhenzhen vomited all over the floor as soon as she stepped out of the elevator door.
Finally, finally returned home.
After I settled Zuo Zhenzhen, I went out to clean the elevator and corridor.When I came back, I saw Zuo Zhenzhen who ran to my bedroom at some time, already asleep.
Helpless, I had to go to the guest room.
To get rid of the smell of alcohol, I took a shower and changed at 03:30 in the morning.After finally lying on the bed, I didn't feel sleepy at all.
The night is still long.Thinking of the website's newly changed theme "Newly moved rental house" has accumulated a lot of submissions, so I simply made a cup of coffee and took advantage of the tranquility to work overtime alone.
Although in my mind, I still think about what happened in the elevator from time to time, but soon, I was distracted by an incredible story about what happened in the lessor.
Looking at these stories, it is hard to imagine that there are so many places where supernatural phenomena can appear in a space as small as a dozen square meters or as large as tens of square meters.I made a rough count. In the submissions, the places with the highest probability of ghosts appearing in rental houses, the first place is basically in the bedroom, and the second place is the bathroom.And No.3, which surprised me a little, turned out to be a wardrobe.
However, it is true that such plots have appeared in many horror movies. When the characters are not paying attention, the wardrobe behind them opens unknowingly.As for the following plot, people who see this scene will definitely open the closet.If it is real life, such a situation is very unreasonable.
If it were me, if I found that the wardrobe door opened automatically in the middle of the night for no reason, I would definitely find a wooden cabinet, put it horizontally on the handle, and bolt it firmly, so that the ghost inside would be in a dilemma.
Thinking of this, I glanced at the wardrobe in the room.
Oops, I forgot, the wardrobes in my house are all sliding doors with no handles.
I had to change my mind and think that what should come will eventually come, and there is no way to hide.
Although I don't know how I would behave if I really met a ghost?Did he run away in a panic, or fainted from fright.But no matter what, I will never face the contributor Ms. L so calmly.
This story of Ms. L happened four months ago, when she had just moved into an apartment not long ago.
Miss L's story
Without any preparation, Ms. L was notified by the landlord that she must move out within two weeks.
The landlord that Ms. L rents is actually not an outsider, but a distant relative.
Since the relative's daughter needs to go abroad, the house that Ms. L is renting now needs to be sold so that the child can study.Although helpless, Ms. L had no choice but to agree.
In order to find a suitable housing in a short period of time, Ms. L read countless rental information in the remaining two weeks.Finally, in the last week, Ms. L found a new apartment with no mistakes.
It was a two-bedroom apartment. Although it was some distance away from the place of work, the environment of the community was very good, and most of the locals lived here.In terms of transportation, the nearest bus station is only [-] meters away, and it can go directly to the subway entrance; in terms of life, there are supermarkets, community hospitals, food and beverage delivery, etc., which are all considered complete.
Of course, the most critical thing is the rent.
If such a two-bedroom apartment is located in the city center, it is estimated that more than half of Ms. L's monthly salary will be spent on rent.But this apartment can be lived in with only a quarter of the salary, which is why Ms. L signed the contract without hesitation.
Although it is a two-bedroom apartment, until Ms. L moved into the apartment, she had not seen the roommate in the other room.
According to the new landlord, the tenant in the other room is also a girl.However, regarding the girl's occupation, the landlord also hesitated to explain clearly.
Since moving was imminent, Ms. L didn't ask too much, so she moved in directly.
The structure of this apartment is very simple.The gate faces north. There is a row of shoe racks on the right side of the entrance, and the toilet on the left side. Through a short corridor, you can go directly to the living room.To the east of the living room, there are two side-by-side bedrooms separated by a sofa, to the west is the kitchen, and to the south is a large balcony facing the community garden.
Ms. L is very satisfied with this move, and feels that she is very lucky to find such a house.What made her even more happy was that although she was told that there was another tenant, Ms. L had never seen this person since she moved in.
The door to the room next to the verandah was always locked.
Therefore, although this apartment is a shared room, for Ms. L, she is basically the only one living here.
At the beginning, Ms. L also expressed doubts about whether there was really a roommate, but some items left in the room proved that there was indeed a roommate.
Ms. L can only guess from the items placed in the room, what kind of person the roommate is like.
There are four pairs of shoes on the shoe rack.A pair of sneakers and three pairs of high-heeled shoes; in the bathroom, there is a cartoon cup with a pink toothbrush; in the kitchen, there are some Nordic-style tableware; on the coffee table in the living room, there is a red mug; on the balcony, there is A Disney suitcase.Other than that, no more information.
Ms. L guessed that this tenant should be about the same age as herself, who doesn't cook often, but pays more attention to the quality of life.
Ms. L placed her daily necessities next to the tenant's belongings.Although it feels strange, it always feels like home.
Ms. L is also a person who pays attention to the sentiment of life. She is used to drinking red wine while watching movies at night.But ever since she moved into this apartment, there was one thing that always caught her mind when drinking in the living room.
That is, the red mug placed in the center of the coffee table.
Finally, Ms. L tried to move the mug to the side of the tea table, but she felt it was wrong and put it back to the original position.
This mug is obviously unused, but it can't be taken away.It was something like this that reminded Ms. L that there was another tenant who had never appeared in this apartment.
Over time, Miss L also lost interest in watching movies in the living room.So, I sat on the bed and watched a movie with my computer in my room.
Due to the cramped space in the room and no bedside table, red wine almost spilled on the computer when I adjusted my sitting position several times.
But such a worrying thing finally happened.
While watching a tragic movie, she was immersed in it for a while, and Ms. L completely forgot the red wine glass beside her. When reaching for a tissue, she accidentally knocked down the red wine glass.
Miss L jumped up and quickly cleaned up the mess.But the pajamas and sheets were still wet a lot.
In order not to leave red wine stains, Ms. L immediately changed out of her pajamas, picked up the sheets and walked towards the washing machine in the bathroom.
Miss L opened the door and walked straight to the bathroom.
But suddenly stopped again.
When he walked out of the door and passed the living room, he seemed to catch something from the corner of his eye.
Miss L turned to look at the living room, but there was nothing but the eye-catching red mug.
Ms. L didn't pay much attention to it, she just wanted to clean up the red wine stain as soon as possible.
After experiencing the red wine incident, Ms. L decided to return to the living room to watch movies.
So, the next night, Ms. L moved the red mug placed in the middle of the tea table to the side, and then filled the tea table with snacks and red wine.
This evening, Miss L chose a comedy.In the light-hearted and cheerful plot, Miss L quickly forgot the existence of the mug and laughed while eating snacks.
Suddenly, there was a "bang bang", and Ms. L was startled.Looking sideways, it turned out to be the red mug, which fell from the coffee table to the marble floor, and there was an instant fragmented sound.
Miss L immediately paused the movie, squatted down to clean up.
At this moment, Ms. L was very disturbed. After all, this was not her own.While cleaning, Miss L was thinking about how to explain to her if her roommate came back.
Although the shape of this mug is very delicate, the quality does not seem to be very good.After shattering, the pieces scattered.
Miss L picked up the one next to the coffee table, and found that there were also several large pieces under the sofa.
So, Ms. L got down on her knees, pressed against the ground, and stretched her hands sideways to the bottom of the sofa.
At this moment, Miss L suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone on the sofa.
After realizing this, Miss L froze in place.
In order to watch a movie, Ms. L turned off the light in the living room.Today, the TV screen is the only source of light for the entire living room.
In such light, Ms. L seemed to see a person from the corner of her eye.
Less than one meter away from him, a black figure was sitting on this sofa.That person sat there upright, motionless, like a three-dimensional shadow, obviously lifeless.
Miss L swallowed, quickly retracted her hand, and then got up to look at the sofa.
Nothing.
Look at the balcony again, there are a few clothes that I have washed on it.Through the street lamp outside the window, the shadow is cast on this area of the sofa.
Perhaps she was delusional, Miss L thought so.However, although such a hypothesis made Ms. L feel temporarily comforted, Ms. L actually knew very well whether the hypothesis was true.
After that night, Ms. L's plan to watch a movie in the living room fell through.
Moreover, after returning home every day, when she saw the dim living room through the narrow corridor, Miss L still had lingering fears.
But such uneasiness gradually faded away in the calm of the next few days.
Ms. L still lives alone in this house, and the owners of those strange items still haven't appeared.
The last time I went to the living room specifically, I also rearranged the newly bought mugs on the coffee table.Afterwards, there was one missing piece in Miss L's activity area.
But it cannot be escaped, after all, the living room is a public area that connects all places.So whether it's going back to your room, or going to the bathroom and kitchen.The living room is the only way to go.
One night a few days later, Ms. L was forced to wake up because she drank too much water before going to bed.
She opened the door in a daze, then walked towards the bathroom.
After coming out of the bathroom, she felt a little more awake, so she wanted to go back to her room while she was still sleepy.
The moment Miss L touched the door with her hand, she stopped.
Because it was on the second floor, there were no curtains in the living room, so the orange street lamps illuminated most of the living room.In the orange light and shadows, a person could be seen in the living room sitting on the sofa.
But this time, Miss L only needs to roll her eyeballs, and she can clearly see that person sitting upright on the sofa, exactly the same as the picture she saw before.
Miss L just stood at the door of the room, in a dilemma.
From the corner of his eyes, the person's whole body was black, without any texture.Recognizable only in black outline, it is the shape of a seated figure.
Miss L gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and walked into her room, then quickly locked the door and hid under the quilt.
That night, Ms. L couldn't fall asleep. She sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt, staring at the door until dawn.
The next day, Ms. L took leave of absence and dared to walk out of the room near noon.
Miss L first poked her head carefully to look carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing in the living room, she felt relieved.
In the following days, Ms. L became afraid of the rental house, and her resistance made her feel tormented.
It's impossible not to go home, after all, staying at a friend or colleague's house is never a long-term solution.But if you go home, you can't go late, and you don't want to go back early. Miss L was in a difficult situation for a while.
Although I also thought about discussing with the landlord, but thinking about it, if I really found out that something bad happened in the house, wouldn't it make me even more uneasy.Moreover, the contract was signed for one year. In order to get more discounts, he paid half a year's rent in one go.It's useless to regret now, so I have to bite the bullet and live.
In this way, although Miss L could still see the figure sitting in the living room that night from time to time, she gradually got used to its existence.
Strange to say, this figure never seemed to move, but just sat motionless on the sofa.Moreover, it often appears in the living room when passing by inadvertently.
A jet-black figure sitting upright.
No features, no other colors, no more shapes.
Miss L once boldly looked directly at that figure.To be honest, if it didn't suddenly appear in her living room, Ms. L would think that it was like someone moved a mannequin with black paint from the mall.
Since everything was going well, Ms. L gradually relaxed her vigilance.
Although the sudden appearance would still startle Ms. L, but she only quietly appeared in a fixed position, which also made Ms. L feel a little relieved.
A month has passed, and Ms. L still lives alone in this apartment, and the so-called roommate still hasn't shown up.
On the night of staying for a whole month, Ms. L came home from get off work, only to find that the apartment had a power outage.
So, through the corridor, Miss L saw the black figure sitting on the sofa, and finally reappeared.
Still the same as before, sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Miss L approached cautiously, then groped along the wall towards her room.
Just as Ms. L was about to approach the door of the room, suddenly there was a scream in the living room.
It was as sharp as a bicycle screeching to a screeching halt, and as harsh as someone scratching glass with their fingernails.
Miss L covered her ears and looked towards the living room.
It was the voice of the black figure.
Miss L was so frightened by the sudden scream that her legs softened, and she sat down on the ground along the wall.
Suddenly, the power seemed to be restored.
The incandescent lamp in the living room began to flicker, and the whole space began to flicker.
At this moment, the black figure suddenly stood up, and then turned its head to Miss L.
Only then did Ms. L realize that the head of that pitch-black human figure had changed shape, from a round shape to a shape with two long heads.A blood-red gash expanded on the face of the black figure, almost covering the entire head, and the piercing screams came from there.
But listen carefully, it doesn't seem to be a monotonous scream.Instead, there were low, sharp, male, and female screams, and all kinds of screams came out of the blood-red mouth at the same time.If you only listen to the sound, the bright red opening that is still opening seems to be the gate of hell that has been opened.
Ms. L covered her ears with her hands, closed her eyes, and her lips were tight so she could not make any sound.
But the black figure slowly moved towards Ms. L bit by bit.
Just when the black figure was about to walk in front of him, the lights in the living room finally struggled to turn on.In an instant, the black and black figures disappeared together with those shrill screams.
As if nothing happened.
Ms. L, who hadn't recovered from the fright, saw a crack suddenly protruding from the mug she bought before, and it split into two pieces without anyone touching it, and then fell on the coffee table superior.
Here, Miss L was still sitting on the ground to calm down her emotions, but there was a sound of opening the door from the other side of the corridor.
Miss L's tears flowed out unconsciously, and she turned her head to look at the entrance.
It was a girl, wearing a blue dress, standing at the door with a large luggage bag in one hand.
Miss L trembled again in fright, and quickly shrank into the corner of the wall.
The girl walked towards Miss L on high heels, first looked at Miss L, and then looked at the living room.
"Are you the new girl here?" the girl asked.
Miss L nodded.
The girl then introduced herself, and it was only then that Ms. L learned that she was the roommate of another tenant who had never shown up.
"Have you ever touched this mug?" The girl asked, looking at the broken mug on the coffee table.
"I accidentally broke the previous one too, sorry." Ms. L said dully.
"Don't tell me I'm sorry," the girl said to Miss L, "That mug doesn't belong to me either. It was here when I moved in."
When Ms. L heard about it, she immediately got up and asked, "Who does that mug belong to?"
From Miss L's question, the girl immediately guessed what Miss L had witnessed.
"As long as the mug is touched, a strange figure will appear." The girl said. "That's why I moved in with a friend."
Ms. L continued to ask, but was told that this was all the roommate knew.
In the following days, the roommate stayed for a few days and left again.
During the few days with her roommate, Ms. L felt a little dependent.However, during the conversation, Ms. L discovered that her roommate had never encountered what she heard and saw that day.
"Maybe it's because you broke the previous mug, so maybe it irritated it." The roommate explained.
Since there is no other place to move, Ms. L still lives in this apartment until the day of submission.
Ms. L also found the same cup on the Internet, so the red mug was placed in the center of the coffee table in the living room again.
"At this moment, it is sitting on the sofa in front of my room, regaining its calmness."
In the end, Ms. L's contribution reads like this.
After reading the submissions, I fell asleep in a daze in the early morning.
Suddenly, I was woken up by a phone ringing.
I groped around, only to find that the sound seemed to be coming from outside the room.Not yet fully awake, I walked out of the room and found that my phone was lying on the sofa and kept ringing.
I picked up the phone and realized it was X calling.Ask me why I didn't go to work today.
I just glanced at the time, and it was already 10:30.
Although I was struggling to wake up, my head still felt very groggy.So I told X that I will work at home today, and I will send the finished manuscript to him in the afternoon.
After hanging up the phone, I pressed my temple with one hand, and flipped through the text messages on my phone with the other.Turning around, I saw Zuo Zhenzhen standing in the dining room, holding a plate in his hand.
I both stared at each other, stunned for a moment.
"You," I said first, "you're still there."
"What? Don't you want to see me?" Zuo Zhenzhen put down the plate in her hand and said.
"No." I hurriedly explained, "I thought you were going to work."
"Oh, no. I'm on leave." Zuo Zhenzhen said, "I made some food and made coffee. Would you like to try it?"
I nodded and walked towards the dining room.
I looked at the slightly battered eggs on the plate, and the ham I had kept in the refrigerator for an unknown amount of time, but I couldn't stop feeling a little joy in my heart.
"What's wrong?" Zuo Zhenzhen looked at me and asked.
"It's okay." I smiled and shook my head.
I took a sip, and the taste was not bad compared to the selling price.
"That," Zuo Zhenzhen said suddenly, "I didn't do anything strange last night, did I?"
I looked at Zuo Zhenzhen, not knowing her specific definition of "strange".I think back to the previous scene, drunk alone late at night and talking to an empty seat, pushing a man in the elevator and questioning him suddenly, and running to sleep on the bed of the opposite sex, all of which are called "strange" to me .
I shook my head.
"Really?" Zuo Zhenzhen asked again.
"No." I forced a smile and replied.
Zuo Zhenzhen let out a long breath, patted her chest, and whispered to herself: "I thought I had slipped something."
I looked at Zuo Zhenzhen, and suddenly wanted to make a joke and said: "It's true that I didn't do strange things. But I said a lot."
Hearing my words, Zuo Zhenzhen stood up suddenly, and asked in an uncharacteristically articulate voice: "I, say, I, what did you hear?"
Seeing her suddenly tense up, I immediately controlled my expression and tried not to laugh.I thought to myself, maybe this girl really has something to show for it, so that she can gain the upper hand when arguing head-on with her in the future.
Girls' secrets are nothing more than a few.It's not about my past experience, it's about love and feelings.I also know a thing or two about Zuo Zhenzhen's past experience, but the only thing that keeps her silent is the matter of yin and yang eyes.But she knew I was, so it wasn't a secret.
So, I continued to say to Zuo Zhenzhen in a serious manner: "I just said something, such as having a crush on someone and not daring to confess. Let me think about it, that person seems to be called..."
Zuo Zhenzhen suddenly called out my full name, interrupting my joke.
Not Tagawa, but my real name.
I immediately shut my mouth and looked at her.
I saw Zuo Zhenzhen blushing, then packed her things, turned and left.
I know, I've made her angry again.While thinking in his heart, he didn't know when the next time he would talk to her again, while finishing the food on the plate.
Besides my mother, she is the second woman who cooks for me.
The author has something to say: Thanks for reading:) Normal update next week!
Only chrysanthemums bloom because of Yin Qi.
It is precisely because of this that the day when the chrysanthemum begins to bloom, is the time when the yin flourishes and the yang declines in this world.
At this time, I looked at the glass of wine called "Gengsheng" in front of me, and I couldn't raise my glass for a long time.
Zuo Zhenzhen was very happy, drinking one cup after another.
Looking at Zuo Zhenzhen, who was already a little confused, and the mess on the table, in the tavern at two o'clock in the morning, I was overwhelmed by the situation in front of me, with a dazed look on my face.
And all of this starts with what happened to Zuo Zhenzhen before.
Zuo Zhenzhen's cooperation with Lao Deng has become more and more tacit since the post-disaster reconstruction news in Japan has received attention, and her career prospects can be described as bright.Unfortunately, due to the deepening investigation of the "White Tiger Totem Pattern" and "Sato Clan", the recent work status has been distracted.The several news reports they wrote were frequently dismissed, even Lao Deng was implicated, and they were no longer responsible for the report on the conclusion of the Hirata Kenichi case.
Thinking that all her efforts were in vain, Zuo Zhenzhen, who was angry and sad, chose to get drunk before resting.
So, around one o'clock in the morning, my cell phone rang.
Although it showed Zuo Zhenzhen's phone number, it was a man who spoke.
This man first introduced himself, saying that he was the owner of the tavern, and then told me an address, and asked me to go and pick him up immediately.
I walked into this early morning tavern, and there were no customers inside.The business hours are written on the blackboard at the entrance, from [-] am to [-] pm.
"Don't sit here, someone."
When Zuo Zhenzhen saw me, she scolded me at the first sentence.
When the tavern owner saw me, he seemed to see a savior. He handed me the bill kindly, and said, "She just sat here by herself, talking to herself and drinking all night."
I looked at the dozen or so wine bottles that were already empty on the table, and there were all wines of various colors.After paying the bill, I tried to help Zuo Zhenzhen up.But she grabbed her and said, "Enjoy this glass of wine with me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her neck and drank a cup first, and then continued.It was the first time I saw her pouring herself a drink while shedding tears.
I had to sit down with her.
"Don't sit here, there are people." Just as he was about to sit down on her right, Zuo Zhenzhen said again.
I leaned against her and sat on the left side of her.But I don't know if she was drinking too much, or if she really saw something again, she kept talking to her right side.
"Do you know how hard it was for me to find these materials?"
"Do you know how much overtime I have worked?"
"I didn't even rest when I was sick."
While drinking, Zuo Zhenzhen confided in the vacant seat on the right.It wasn't until she called my name that I realized that she must have been too drunk to realize that I was actually sitting on her left.
At this point, I must stop the loss in time and take her away from here.
After finally loading her into a taxi, something happened again in the apartment building.
I pressed her floor, but Zuo Zhenzhen did not let go of the elevator key board, crying and shouting: "I'm not going home, I don't want to go home."
I had no choice but to coax her, and pressed the floor she had pressed off again.
"I said I'm not going home."
At this time, she seemed to be awake again, and then looked carefully at the elevator button, and pressed the floor of my house.
"I want to go here."
I sighed and looked at the time, it was almost three o'clock.
"I'm going to find this person to judge." Zuo Zhenzhen said suddenly: "Why do you think he is so serious? I just said a few words to him, but he really ignored me." Speaking of this, suddenly Zuo Zhenzhen grabbed my collar and shouted to me while crying: "Why do you say?"
I looked at Zuo Zhenzhen, not knowing how to answer.
I don't know if she can't figure out who the person in front of her is, and I don't know what she means by saying this.Just when I was hesitating, Zuo Zhenzhen suddenly let go of the hand holding the collar, straightened her arms, propped her hands on the elevator wall, and then leaned towards me.
Seeing this, I hurriedly straightened up and leaned back.
Fortunately, the elevator door opened at this moment, and I quickly helped her out of the elevator.Because of the shaking of the elevator, Zuo Zhenzhen vomited all over the floor as soon as she stepped out of the elevator door.
Finally, finally returned home.
After I settled Zuo Zhenzhen, I went out to clean the elevator and corridor.When I came back, I saw Zuo Zhenzhen who ran to my bedroom at some time, already asleep.
Helpless, I had to go to the guest room.
To get rid of the smell of alcohol, I took a shower and changed at 03:30 in the morning.After finally lying on the bed, I didn't feel sleepy at all.
The night is still long.Thinking of the website's newly changed theme "Newly moved rental house" has accumulated a lot of submissions, so I simply made a cup of coffee and took advantage of the tranquility to work overtime alone.
Although in my mind, I still think about what happened in the elevator from time to time, but soon, I was distracted by an incredible story about what happened in the lessor.
Looking at these stories, it is hard to imagine that there are so many places where supernatural phenomena can appear in a space as small as a dozen square meters or as large as tens of square meters.I made a rough count. In the submissions, the places with the highest probability of ghosts appearing in rental houses, the first place is basically in the bedroom, and the second place is the bathroom.And No.3, which surprised me a little, turned out to be a wardrobe.
However, it is true that such plots have appeared in many horror movies. When the characters are not paying attention, the wardrobe behind them opens unknowingly.As for the following plot, people who see this scene will definitely open the closet.If it is real life, such a situation is very unreasonable.
If it were me, if I found that the wardrobe door opened automatically in the middle of the night for no reason, I would definitely find a wooden cabinet, put it horizontally on the handle, and bolt it firmly, so that the ghost inside would be in a dilemma.
Thinking of this, I glanced at the wardrobe in the room.
Oops, I forgot, the wardrobes in my house are all sliding doors with no handles.
I had to change my mind and think that what should come will eventually come, and there is no way to hide.
Although I don't know how I would behave if I really met a ghost?Did he run away in a panic, or fainted from fright.But no matter what, I will never face the contributor Ms. L so calmly.
This story of Ms. L happened four months ago, when she had just moved into an apartment not long ago.
Miss L's story
Without any preparation, Ms. L was notified by the landlord that she must move out within two weeks.
The landlord that Ms. L rents is actually not an outsider, but a distant relative.
Since the relative's daughter needs to go abroad, the house that Ms. L is renting now needs to be sold so that the child can study.Although helpless, Ms. L had no choice but to agree.
In order to find a suitable housing in a short period of time, Ms. L read countless rental information in the remaining two weeks.Finally, in the last week, Ms. L found a new apartment with no mistakes.
It was a two-bedroom apartment. Although it was some distance away from the place of work, the environment of the community was very good, and most of the locals lived here.In terms of transportation, the nearest bus station is only [-] meters away, and it can go directly to the subway entrance; in terms of life, there are supermarkets, community hospitals, food and beverage delivery, etc., which are all considered complete.
Of course, the most critical thing is the rent.
If such a two-bedroom apartment is located in the city center, it is estimated that more than half of Ms. L's monthly salary will be spent on rent.But this apartment can be lived in with only a quarter of the salary, which is why Ms. L signed the contract without hesitation.
Although it is a two-bedroom apartment, until Ms. L moved into the apartment, she had not seen the roommate in the other room.
According to the new landlord, the tenant in the other room is also a girl.However, regarding the girl's occupation, the landlord also hesitated to explain clearly.
Since moving was imminent, Ms. L didn't ask too much, so she moved in directly.
The structure of this apartment is very simple.The gate faces north. There is a row of shoe racks on the right side of the entrance, and the toilet on the left side. Through a short corridor, you can go directly to the living room.To the east of the living room, there are two side-by-side bedrooms separated by a sofa, to the west is the kitchen, and to the south is a large balcony facing the community garden.
Ms. L is very satisfied with this move, and feels that she is very lucky to find such a house.What made her even more happy was that although she was told that there was another tenant, Ms. L had never seen this person since she moved in.
The door to the room next to the verandah was always locked.
Therefore, although this apartment is a shared room, for Ms. L, she is basically the only one living here.
At the beginning, Ms. L also expressed doubts about whether there was really a roommate, but some items left in the room proved that there was indeed a roommate.
Ms. L can only guess from the items placed in the room, what kind of person the roommate is like.
There are four pairs of shoes on the shoe rack.A pair of sneakers and three pairs of high-heeled shoes; in the bathroom, there is a cartoon cup with a pink toothbrush; in the kitchen, there are some Nordic-style tableware; on the coffee table in the living room, there is a red mug; on the balcony, there is A Disney suitcase.Other than that, no more information.
Ms. L guessed that this tenant should be about the same age as herself, who doesn't cook often, but pays more attention to the quality of life.
Ms. L placed her daily necessities next to the tenant's belongings.Although it feels strange, it always feels like home.
Ms. L is also a person who pays attention to the sentiment of life. She is used to drinking red wine while watching movies at night.But ever since she moved into this apartment, there was one thing that always caught her mind when drinking in the living room.
That is, the red mug placed in the center of the coffee table.
Finally, Ms. L tried to move the mug to the side of the tea table, but she felt it was wrong and put it back to the original position.
This mug is obviously unused, but it can't be taken away.It was something like this that reminded Ms. L that there was another tenant who had never appeared in this apartment.
Over time, Miss L also lost interest in watching movies in the living room.So, I sat on the bed and watched a movie with my computer in my room.
Due to the cramped space in the room and no bedside table, red wine almost spilled on the computer when I adjusted my sitting position several times.
But such a worrying thing finally happened.
While watching a tragic movie, she was immersed in it for a while, and Ms. L completely forgot the red wine glass beside her. When reaching for a tissue, she accidentally knocked down the red wine glass.
Miss L jumped up and quickly cleaned up the mess.But the pajamas and sheets were still wet a lot.
In order not to leave red wine stains, Ms. L immediately changed out of her pajamas, picked up the sheets and walked towards the washing machine in the bathroom.
Miss L opened the door and walked straight to the bathroom.
But suddenly stopped again.
When he walked out of the door and passed the living room, he seemed to catch something from the corner of his eye.
Miss L turned to look at the living room, but there was nothing but the eye-catching red mug.
Ms. L didn't pay much attention to it, she just wanted to clean up the red wine stain as soon as possible.
After experiencing the red wine incident, Ms. L decided to return to the living room to watch movies.
So, the next night, Ms. L moved the red mug placed in the middle of the tea table to the side, and then filled the tea table with snacks and red wine.
This evening, Miss L chose a comedy.In the light-hearted and cheerful plot, Miss L quickly forgot the existence of the mug and laughed while eating snacks.
Suddenly, there was a "bang bang", and Ms. L was startled.Looking sideways, it turned out to be the red mug, which fell from the coffee table to the marble floor, and there was an instant fragmented sound.
Miss L immediately paused the movie, squatted down to clean up.
At this moment, Ms. L was very disturbed. After all, this was not her own.While cleaning, Miss L was thinking about how to explain to her if her roommate came back.
Although the shape of this mug is very delicate, the quality does not seem to be very good.After shattering, the pieces scattered.
Miss L picked up the one next to the coffee table, and found that there were also several large pieces under the sofa.
So, Ms. L got down on her knees, pressed against the ground, and stretched her hands sideways to the bottom of the sofa.
At this moment, Miss L suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone on the sofa.
After realizing this, Miss L froze in place.
In order to watch a movie, Ms. L turned off the light in the living room.Today, the TV screen is the only source of light for the entire living room.
In such light, Ms. L seemed to see a person from the corner of her eye.
Less than one meter away from him, a black figure was sitting on this sofa.That person sat there upright, motionless, like a three-dimensional shadow, obviously lifeless.
Miss L swallowed, quickly retracted her hand, and then got up to look at the sofa.
Nothing.
Look at the balcony again, there are a few clothes that I have washed on it.Through the street lamp outside the window, the shadow is cast on this area of the sofa.
Perhaps she was delusional, Miss L thought so.However, although such a hypothesis made Ms. L feel temporarily comforted, Ms. L actually knew very well whether the hypothesis was true.
After that night, Ms. L's plan to watch a movie in the living room fell through.
Moreover, after returning home every day, when she saw the dim living room through the narrow corridor, Miss L still had lingering fears.
But such uneasiness gradually faded away in the calm of the next few days.
Ms. L still lives alone in this house, and the owners of those strange items still haven't appeared.
The last time I went to the living room specifically, I also rearranged the newly bought mugs on the coffee table.Afterwards, there was one missing piece in Miss L's activity area.
But it cannot be escaped, after all, the living room is a public area that connects all places.So whether it's going back to your room, or going to the bathroom and kitchen.The living room is the only way to go.
One night a few days later, Ms. L was forced to wake up because she drank too much water before going to bed.
She opened the door in a daze, then walked towards the bathroom.
After coming out of the bathroom, she felt a little more awake, so she wanted to go back to her room while she was still sleepy.
The moment Miss L touched the door with her hand, she stopped.
Because it was on the second floor, there were no curtains in the living room, so the orange street lamps illuminated most of the living room.In the orange light and shadows, a person could be seen in the living room sitting on the sofa.
But this time, Miss L only needs to roll her eyeballs, and she can clearly see that person sitting upright on the sofa, exactly the same as the picture she saw before.
Miss L just stood at the door of the room, in a dilemma.
From the corner of his eyes, the person's whole body was black, without any texture.Recognizable only in black outline, it is the shape of a seated figure.
Miss L gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and walked into her room, then quickly locked the door and hid under the quilt.
That night, Ms. L couldn't fall asleep. She sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt, staring at the door until dawn.
The next day, Ms. L took leave of absence and dared to walk out of the room near noon.
Miss L first poked her head carefully to look carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing in the living room, she felt relieved.
In the following days, Ms. L became afraid of the rental house, and her resistance made her feel tormented.
It's impossible not to go home, after all, staying at a friend or colleague's house is never a long-term solution.But if you go home, you can't go late, and you don't want to go back early. Miss L was in a difficult situation for a while.
Although I also thought about discussing with the landlord, but thinking about it, if I really found out that something bad happened in the house, wouldn't it make me even more uneasy.Moreover, the contract was signed for one year. In order to get more discounts, he paid half a year's rent in one go.It's useless to regret now, so I have to bite the bullet and live.
In this way, although Miss L could still see the figure sitting in the living room that night from time to time, she gradually got used to its existence.
Strange to say, this figure never seemed to move, but just sat motionless on the sofa.Moreover, it often appears in the living room when passing by inadvertently.
A jet-black figure sitting upright.
No features, no other colors, no more shapes.
Miss L once boldly looked directly at that figure.To be honest, if it didn't suddenly appear in her living room, Ms. L would think that it was like someone moved a mannequin with black paint from the mall.
Since everything was going well, Ms. L gradually relaxed her vigilance.
Although the sudden appearance would still startle Ms. L, but she only quietly appeared in a fixed position, which also made Ms. L feel a little relieved.
A month has passed, and Ms. L still lives alone in this apartment, and the so-called roommate still hasn't shown up.
On the night of staying for a whole month, Ms. L came home from get off work, only to find that the apartment had a power outage.
So, through the corridor, Miss L saw the black figure sitting on the sofa, and finally reappeared.
Still the same as before, sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Miss L approached cautiously, then groped along the wall towards her room.
Just as Ms. L was about to approach the door of the room, suddenly there was a scream in the living room.
It was as sharp as a bicycle screeching to a screeching halt, and as harsh as someone scratching glass with their fingernails.
Miss L covered her ears and looked towards the living room.
It was the voice of the black figure.
Miss L was so frightened by the sudden scream that her legs softened, and she sat down on the ground along the wall.
Suddenly, the power seemed to be restored.
The incandescent lamp in the living room began to flicker, and the whole space began to flicker.
At this moment, the black figure suddenly stood up, and then turned its head to Miss L.
Only then did Ms. L realize that the head of that pitch-black human figure had changed shape, from a round shape to a shape with two long heads.A blood-red gash expanded on the face of the black figure, almost covering the entire head, and the piercing screams came from there.
But listen carefully, it doesn't seem to be a monotonous scream.Instead, there were low, sharp, male, and female screams, and all kinds of screams came out of the blood-red mouth at the same time.If you only listen to the sound, the bright red opening that is still opening seems to be the gate of hell that has been opened.
Ms. L covered her ears with her hands, closed her eyes, and her lips were tight so she could not make any sound.
But the black figure slowly moved towards Ms. L bit by bit.
Just when the black figure was about to walk in front of him, the lights in the living room finally struggled to turn on.In an instant, the black and black figures disappeared together with those shrill screams.
As if nothing happened.
Ms. L, who hadn't recovered from the fright, saw a crack suddenly protruding from the mug she bought before, and it split into two pieces without anyone touching it, and then fell on the coffee table superior.
Here, Miss L was still sitting on the ground to calm down her emotions, but there was a sound of opening the door from the other side of the corridor.
Miss L's tears flowed out unconsciously, and she turned her head to look at the entrance.
It was a girl, wearing a blue dress, standing at the door with a large luggage bag in one hand.
Miss L trembled again in fright, and quickly shrank into the corner of the wall.
The girl walked towards Miss L on high heels, first looked at Miss L, and then looked at the living room.
"Are you the new girl here?" the girl asked.
Miss L nodded.
The girl then introduced herself, and it was only then that Ms. L learned that she was the roommate of another tenant who had never shown up.
"Have you ever touched this mug?" The girl asked, looking at the broken mug on the coffee table.
"I accidentally broke the previous one too, sorry." Ms. L said dully.
"Don't tell me I'm sorry," the girl said to Miss L, "That mug doesn't belong to me either. It was here when I moved in."
When Ms. L heard about it, she immediately got up and asked, "Who does that mug belong to?"
From Miss L's question, the girl immediately guessed what Miss L had witnessed.
"As long as the mug is touched, a strange figure will appear." The girl said. "That's why I moved in with a friend."
Ms. L continued to ask, but was told that this was all the roommate knew.
In the following days, the roommate stayed for a few days and left again.
During the few days with her roommate, Ms. L felt a little dependent.However, during the conversation, Ms. L discovered that her roommate had never encountered what she heard and saw that day.
"Maybe it's because you broke the previous mug, so maybe it irritated it." The roommate explained.
Since there is no other place to move, Ms. L still lives in this apartment until the day of submission.
Ms. L also found the same cup on the Internet, so the red mug was placed in the center of the coffee table in the living room again.
"At this moment, it is sitting on the sofa in front of my room, regaining its calmness."
In the end, Ms. L's contribution reads like this.
After reading the submissions, I fell asleep in a daze in the early morning.
Suddenly, I was woken up by a phone ringing.
I groped around, only to find that the sound seemed to be coming from outside the room.Not yet fully awake, I walked out of the room and found that my phone was lying on the sofa and kept ringing.
I picked up the phone and realized it was X calling.Ask me why I didn't go to work today.
I just glanced at the time, and it was already 10:30.
Although I was struggling to wake up, my head still felt very groggy.So I told X that I will work at home today, and I will send the finished manuscript to him in the afternoon.
After hanging up the phone, I pressed my temple with one hand, and flipped through the text messages on my phone with the other.Turning around, I saw Zuo Zhenzhen standing in the dining room, holding a plate in his hand.
I both stared at each other, stunned for a moment.
"You," I said first, "you're still there."
"What? Don't you want to see me?" Zuo Zhenzhen put down the plate in her hand and said.
"No." I hurriedly explained, "I thought you were going to work."
"Oh, no. I'm on leave." Zuo Zhenzhen said, "I made some food and made coffee. Would you like to try it?"
I nodded and walked towards the dining room.
I looked at the slightly battered eggs on the plate, and the ham I had kept in the refrigerator for an unknown amount of time, but I couldn't stop feeling a little joy in my heart.
"What's wrong?" Zuo Zhenzhen looked at me and asked.
"It's okay." I smiled and shook my head.
I took a sip, and the taste was not bad compared to the selling price.
"That," Zuo Zhenzhen said suddenly, "I didn't do anything strange last night, did I?"
I looked at Zuo Zhenzhen, not knowing her specific definition of "strange".I think back to the previous scene, drunk alone late at night and talking to an empty seat, pushing a man in the elevator and questioning him suddenly, and running to sleep on the bed of the opposite sex, all of which are called "strange" to me .
I shook my head.
"Really?" Zuo Zhenzhen asked again.
"No." I forced a smile and replied.
Zuo Zhenzhen let out a long breath, patted her chest, and whispered to herself: "I thought I had slipped something."
I looked at Zuo Zhenzhen, and suddenly wanted to make a joke and said: "It's true that I didn't do strange things. But I said a lot."
Hearing my words, Zuo Zhenzhen stood up suddenly, and asked in an uncharacteristically articulate voice: "I, say, I, what did you hear?"
Seeing her suddenly tense up, I immediately controlled my expression and tried not to laugh.I thought to myself, maybe this girl really has something to show for it, so that she can gain the upper hand when arguing head-on with her in the future.
Girls' secrets are nothing more than a few.It's not about my past experience, it's about love and feelings.I also know a thing or two about Zuo Zhenzhen's past experience, but the only thing that keeps her silent is the matter of yin and yang eyes.But she knew I was, so it wasn't a secret.
So, I continued to say to Zuo Zhenzhen in a serious manner: "I just said something, such as having a crush on someone and not daring to confess. Let me think about it, that person seems to be called..."
Zuo Zhenzhen suddenly called out my full name, interrupting my joke.
Not Tagawa, but my real name.
I immediately shut my mouth and looked at her.
I saw Zuo Zhenzhen blushing, then packed her things, turned and left.
I know, I've made her angry again.While thinking in his heart, he didn't know when the next time he would talk to her again, while finishing the food on the plate.
Besides my mother, she is the second woman who cooks for me.
