Mei Yulan rubbed her sleepy eyes, put on her coat and opened the door. She saw no one outside the door. She walked out and looked at both sides of the street. The evening wind blew up the fallen leaves and swirled them up into the night sky. It was so quiet that it was unbelievable.
"What's going on? Is someone playing a prank?"
Mei Yulan murmured softly, turned around and went home and closed the door. She took advantage of the electric light on the second floor and was about to return to her room on the wooden stairs when she suddenly felt a little cold and couldn't help but rub her exposed arms.
When she stepped onto the wooden stairs, she didn't notice at all that there was a pile of debris placed under the stairs. A pair of dark eyes were exposed from the shadows. With the faint light, she slowly stood up.
Snapped,
After closing the door, Mei Yulan lay on the bed, yawned, and thought to herself: "I don't know if Chu Liang is used to sleeping in hotels. I'd better get up early to see him tomorrow."
With this thought in mind, he turned off the lamp beside the bed and plunged the room into darkness.
"Eh... it's really quiet tonight. Usually the cats and dogs wandering around will bark from time to time in the middle of the night, but I didn't hear them tonight."
Mei Yulan, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly had this idea flash in her mind, but she didn't take it to heart, because it would help her fall asleep faster.
only……
Mei Yulan stood up suddenly. She didn't know why, but she always felt like someone was looking at her. At first she thought it was an illusion, but then the feeling became more and more obvious and real, and she couldn't help but get up and turn on the lamp.
A faint light illuminates the front of the bed.
Mei Yulan tightened her grip on the bed quilt nervously and scanned the room with vigilant eyes, but she found nothing, as if it was just her own illusion.
at this time.
She lowered her head and suddenly saw a shadow with teeth and claws drawn out on the floor. It looked strange. Her eyes followed the shadow to the slightly opened curtains.
Mei Yulan was very scared, but her personal experience in the past few days told her that fear can sometimes become a huge stumbling block. She glanced around and found the knife on the fruit plate. She reached out to pick it up, got out of bed and walked towards the curtain step by step.
"Gulu..."
Mei Yulan swallowed her dry spit, tightened her grip on the fruit knife, and suddenly opened the curtains.
But seeing a big tree behind the glass, its branches were reflected on the floor through the street lights outside, forming a shadow of teeth and claws. It turned out that she was scaring herself. Mei Yulan breathed a sigh of relief and slumped on the edge of the bed.
But this shock immediately made her sleepless. She didn't dare to turn off the desk lamp, so she picked up a book and started reading.
After a while.
"Magnolia, magnolia, magnolia..."
The voice sounded far and near. Mei Yulan was startled at first, and then her eyes widened in disbelief. This voice was so familiar. If she heard it right, it was her boyfriend Chu Liang's voice.
Why did you come here in the middle of the night?
The sound seemed to be very close. She stood up and looked out the window, but there was no figure of Chu Liang. After careful identification, she was a little horrified to find that the sound was coming from outside the door.
Mei Yulan hesitated, picked up the fruit knife again, and approached the door step by step. At this time, she was already sure that the sound came from behind the door, and it was Chu Liang's voice. She twisted the doorknob and turned it hard.
The door opened little by little, and the dark corridor came into view. There was no one at all!
"Magnolia!"
Before Mei Yulan could think about what was going on, Chu Liang's voice came from behind. This suffocating fright made Mei Yulan drop the fruit knife in her hand to the ground.
Bang,
Slowly turning his head, Chu Liangzhen stood behind her, his expression seemed a little stiff. When he saw Mei Yulan, he was startled by him, and he even reached out to support her.
"You...you...how did you get in?"
Mei Yulan's pupils widened and she felt cold all over her body.
Chu Liang twitched the corner of his mouth and bent down to pick up the fruit knife that fell on the ground as he spoke: "There was someone in that hotel who was drunk and crazy in the middle of the night. I couldn't stand it anymore so I came here to find you. I wanted to give you a surprise."
After all, she was facing someone she was familiar with. Mei Yulan recovered from her fright. After a little thought, she understood when Chu Liang slipped into her home. It should have been when she opened the door and walked out just now.
"You are crazy, do you know that if someone scares you, you will scare them to death!"
Mei Yulan patted her heart and complained.
Chu Liang picked up the fruit knife, brushed the blade with his fingers, and made a smile at the corner of his mouth:
"I don't miss you anymore, I just want to get something from you."
"what?"
Mei Yulan responded casually, walked to the table, picked up the kettle, poured herself a glass of water and drank it. After waiting for a long time, Chu Liang's voice was not heard. Instead, when she put down the water glass, she saw a tall shadow pulling her from behind.
shrouded.
…………
Snapped,
The water glass shattered on the ground.
Mei Yulan staggered back to the wall, holding a stuffed doll in her hand and waving it desperately in front of her, and asked in horror: "Who are you, who are you!"
It was at this time that Chu Liang slowly stepped into the light of the desk lamp, and Mei Yulan discovered to her horror that Chu Liang's eyes were completely black, with no whites at all.
"who I am?"
"Chu Liang" spoke stiffly and said something puzzling, "Lan Lan, we haven't seen each other for a few days, have you forgotten your brother? Have you forgotten the way you were caught playing hide and seek when you were a child?"
in a trance,
A ferocious cheek actually overlapped with Chu Liang's face.
That day on the street, someone grabbed her wrist and said this to her: "Hey, isn't this Magnolia? She came back from studying outside. She hasn't looked so handsome in a few years. She forgot that we were young.
Did you get caught by me while you were playing hide and seek?"
It's you!
"Gou Honglin, it's you!"
Mei Yulan couldn't believe it.
The next moment.
A sharp fruit knife was inserted into the doll and slashed across Mei Yulan's cheek, bringing up a trace of blood.
"ah--"
Frightened and hysterical screams echoed throughout the house.
Mei Yulan turned around and ran away, but before she could even take two steps, a pair of big hands grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back forcefully. Immediately, the knife stabbed into her abdomen without any hindrance, and a fierce wail came from her mouth!
In the confusion, Mei Yulan grabbed the lamp beside the bed and smashed "Chu Liang" on the head.
Snapped,
After getting a chance to breathe, Mei Yulan tried her best to get under the bed. She had just gotten halfway through when she felt her ankles being grabbed by big hands.
"no no no!"
He cried and shouted, tears welling up in his red eyes.
The force on her ankle became stronger and stronger, and even digging her nails into the cracks in the floor had no effect. Her body was pulled out bit by bit, and Mei Yulan was completely desperate.
"Chu Liang" grabbed her neck and stood up, took out a silver needle with a cinnabar inscription on it from his pocket, and was about to stab her between the eyebrows.
At the critical moment.
Bang...bang...bang...
A series of impacts sounded, and "Chu Liang" looked at the window with some confusion, but saw a Kongming lantern hitting the glass with great force. Only the second time, the glass clicked and shattered like a spider web.
Suddenly.
boom!
Violent firelight rushed into the eye mask.
ps: Happy birthday to the motherland.
