At that time, I was indeed still very young.

I am in my early thirties, a poor little social creature, and my daily job is to type on the computer.

From work to get off work, life is extremely mechanical.

Fortunately, I still have a good friend beside me who I have been playing with since childhood.

But recently, I've noticed that he looks a little haggard... No, it's not just haggard, it's the kind of mental disorder caused by a long-term mental disorder.

Sometimes, if I slap him from behind, he will scream, as if he has seen something extremely terrifying.

On my day off, I found an opportunity to ask him to relax.

We finished dinner together, sat on a bench in the park, looked at the slowly setting sun and recalled the past.

As the sun slowly sets, the shadows of the two of us are gradually lengthened.

I asked him about recent events and said, "Have you encountered anything recently?"

After listening to my question, he was stunned for a moment, and then excitedly told about his experience.

He said that he has been suffering from insomnia recently and even has hallucinations.

"Hallucination? What hallucination?"

My friend's words successfully aroused my curiosity.

"It's just..." He hesitated for a while, "I always feel like someone is following me recently, and this feeling is becoming more and more obvious. I even feel that as soon as I turn around, he will be standing there.

Behind me!"

"Um... I'm probably too tired. I need to rest more." I comforted him.

"Well, I think so too... It seems that I have to take sleeping pills to treat insomnia. I must be too tired recently. How could someone follow me, a poor and useless person? It can't be a ghost, right?

,Ha ha."

He said with a smile.

"Haha, yes, yes, how can there be ghosts in the world~" I agreed with him and joked.

However, just as I was laughing with my friend, I suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him.

"I'm here~"

"!"

I was startled, trembled violently, and looked back without thinking.

I saw that there was nothing behind us except the shadows lengthened by the setting sun...

"Huh? What's wrong with you? Is it possible that you are as insane as me?"

"Um...didn't you hear that just now?"

"What did you hear?"

"It's just that I seemed to hear a woman's voice..." I said this with doubt in my eyes.

"Wow, don't scare me. I've been scared recently. If you scare me like this, I might become mentally ill."

The friend shook his body in fear and carefully observed his surroundings.

I saw that he was really panicked, so I had to suppress the doubts in my heart and comfort him:

"Okay, okay, I lied to you. I just saw that you were too nervous. I wanted to scare you. Please relax."

"Phew...you scared me to death~" My friend relaxed visibly, he breathed a sigh of relief and hit me hard.

I'm not annoyed either...because I really heard something...

Is it really an illusion?

After that, I pretended to be calm and chatted with my friend for a long time. It wasn't until night fell that we said goodbye to each other and returned to our homes.

A few days later, he looked much better, so I didn't take the incident seriously.

Maybe, I really heard it wrong at the time.

Another night, my friend and I got off the evening shift and took a walk on the empty street.

We were chatting, but as we were chatting, my friend suddenly seemed to feel something.

He turned his head suddenly and looked at the chair not far behind him.

"What's wrong?" I asked doubtfully.

His sudden reaction shocked me and made me a little nervous.

"That... woman sitting over there, who is it? She seems to have been following us!"

My friend didn't look back, he just stared at the streetlight and said to me.

woman?

I'm a little confused.

I followed his gaze and looked towards the chair, but...I didn't see anything...

Isn't there nothing there?

"Hey! What are you doing standing there!"

Before I could say anything, my friend quickly ran over and started yelling at the empty bench.

"Hey, why have you been following us? Answer me, why have you been following me?"

"****,****."

At first, my friend could calmly reason to the air, but in the end, he started to curse at the air.

Moreover, he pushed it into the air a few times.

Looking at this weird scene in front of me, I couldn't say anything for a while.

But the next second, he suddenly let out a scream, as if he had seen something very scary.

The next moment, he rolled and crawled away from the bench.

He ran very fast, his speed was simply different from ordinary people...

I couldn't catch up with him, and I didn't know what was wrong with him.

Helpless, I had no choice but to take a taxi and return home... In the car, I recalled his strange behavior. Suddenly, I remembered the woman's voice I heard when I was chatting with him on the bench that evening.

.

A chill ran down my back, and a creepy feeling suddenly spread all over my body.

Could he... really have encountered something?

I was frightened and fell asleep with my hands under the quilt, but what was shocking...he didn't come to work the next day.

No one knows what happened to him.

I went to his house, but the landlord told me that he moved out overnight.

Half a month later, a young woman found the company.

After asking, I found out that she was my friend's girlfriend.

While chatting, I learned that my friend was dead.

She told me that her friend suddenly seemed to be a different person not long ago. He kept saying strange things and also liked to hide in the corner with his hands behind his back and stare at the door motionlessly.

That situation didn't last for a few days before he suddenly died.

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly became a little distracted.

But she quickly replied: "I'm sorry, I've been hit too hard recently, and I'm starting to see hallucinations."

Hallucination?

Didn’t my friend often see hallucinations at that time?

I quickly told my friend the situation at that time.

She was stunned when she heard what I said.

She said that she saw a man at her friend's funeral. The man kept his head down and stood there without saying a word.

After that day, she felt like she was in a daze. She always felt like someone was following her behind her.

And this has been going on for a few days now.

Both of us felt that the appearance of this figure was definitely related to the death of our friend.

And this guy who stalked his friend should now be stalking her.

If it is not dealt with in time, something will definitely happen to her.

Through a friend's introduction, we found a famous psychic in the city.

After the psychic learned about our affairs, he sighed and said: "You... must have been entangled by the people behind you."

The psychic said that when someone is entangled with someone behind him, that person will first see a blurry figure appear in his field of vision.

Then it will silently follow you, getting closer and closer to you.

It will tempt you to touch it, and it will lie behind you and whisper to you.

When you can't bear it anymore and touch it with your hands, it will kill you in a few days and put on your human skin.
