A broken clock hung on the wall of the living room. The time was fixed at twelve o'clock. The hands were clearly not moving, but there was a ticking sound from somewhere in the room.
Han Fei leaned against the wall. He didn't know who turned off the light in the bathroom. Now he didn't want to find out what was hidden there. He just wanted to leave this strange "home" as soon as possible.
Striding to the security door of the living room, Han Fei grabbed the door handle. Before he could open the door, a very light knock on the door suddenly sounded!
Han Fei's brain seemed to be stimulated by something, and he retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted.
The knocking on the door became clearer and louder, and Han Fei's heart slowly lifted. He slowly leaned forward, and when his face was about to touch the cat's eye, he suddenly realized something.
"The knock on the door doesn't seem to come from outside the door?"
With no color on his face, Han Fei turned his head and looked at his bedroom.
As the knocking on the door gradually became louder, he was sure that the knocking on the door was coming from the bedroom.
With his pupils twitching, Han Fei noticed that the lock on the bedroom door trembled slightly...
"The guest at 0:01 knocked on the door for the first time outside the house, the second time on the door in the living room, and the third time on my bedroom..."
His mind was completely blank. Han Fei didn't know when the other party ran into his house. It felt as if someone had put it in deliberately.
Not daring to stay, Han Fei wanted to escape, but he also knew that there were more dangers hidden outside, and he would face all kinds of unknown harm.
Breathing became more and more difficult. Han Fei finally made up his mind and slowly turned the door handle.
When the circlip bounced, he vaguely heard a low gasping sound, the sound of exhalation was like that of a wild animal.
The five fingers holding the door handle were soaked with cold sweat. Han Fei opened the cover on the peephole and looked outside. The fat security guard he had seen in the morning was standing at the door of his house.
The security guard who was very enthusiastic towards everyone during the day and always smiled seemed to have a different face now, with veins as thick as his fingers bulging on his face. He seemed to be holding something in his hand and was waiting for Han Fei to open the door.
The fat security guard heard the sound of the door lock ringing, but after waiting for a while, the door still didn't open. He felt a little confused. The face was directly pressed against the peephole. He wanted to see what was inside the house through the peephole.
The face full of veins magnified in Han Fei's field of vision. He immediately stepped back and replaced the lid on the cat's eye.
"You can't go out, at least not now."
Han Fei stepped back, and different sounds reached his ears, affecting his judgment and making him more impatient.
"He is standing at the door of my house? Why is he waiting for me to open the door without saying a word?"
The clock was broken, but the ticking sound was getting clearer and clearer. Han Fei covered his blank head. His body felt uncomfortable, and waves of dizziness came over him.
"There was a security guard standing outside the security door. It seemed that the people in the bedroom were about to come out. I had to find a place to hide as soon as possible."
The closet and refrigerator were full of stuff, there was a lock on the parents' bedroom door, there was no cover in the kitchen, and the bathroom light was out, so there might be something inside.
All the known information flashed through his brain in less than a second. As he moved, Han Fei came across the tattered doll clothes next to the door.
Two sets of park doll costumes were piled together with some dirty clothes that had no time to be washed. One of them was torn and looked very worn. Although the other set was stained, it at least looked intact.
"Hide in the doll?"
His fingers touched the doll clothes, and Han Fei was not sure which one he should choose. Although the complete doll clothes could cover the whole body, the stains left on it made Han Fei very uncomfortable.
This is not mysophobia, he just feels that the stains are like blood seeping out from the inside. Since the stains can penetrate the surface of the doll's clothes, it means that the clothes must be very dirty inside.
Grabbing the torn doll clothes, Han Fei quickly put them on.
Normal people would be slow to put on a doll's coat for the first time and need to identify each part, but Han Fei was very proficient. It seemed that he had worn it many times and his muscles had memorized all the sequences.
Putting on the somewhat heavy hood, Han Fei completely hid himself in the bloated doll clothes and lay down back to his original position.
Completely shrouded in darkness, it seemed that the sounds outside could not be heard clearly.
In this small darkness, Han Fei could only hear his own heartbeat and breathing. He forced himself not to make any sound and tried his best to act like a corpse.
Looking out through the gap in the doll's hood, everything in the room seemed to be back to normal again, and everything he had just experienced seemed to be just Han Fei's own hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.
Holding his breath, Han Fei remained motionless.
About half a minute later, another set of doll clothes that he had not selected suddenly moved!
It seemed that because Han Fei had not put it away before, the cartoon head that matched the doll's clothes rolled off the dirty clothes and hit the bathroom door frame.
The head that should have stopped when it hit something seemed to be caught by something, and rolled directly into the darkness of the bathroom.
There was a crisp sound. It was definitely not the sound of the doll's big head colliding with something. It was more like someone piercing the transparent eyeball of the doll's big head with their hand.
"The pale hands clasped my eyes..."
Han Fei felt depressed. He adjusted his gaze and looked at the headless doll clothes.
The clothes that looked relatively complete on the surface had some blood scabs solidified inside, as if there were unknown poisonous insects crawling around.
Crunch…
The sound of the door being opened reached his ears. From Han Fei's perspective, he could not see the situation in his bedroom, so he could only rely on his hearing.
After the bedroom door was opened, someone seemed to be moving around in the room, and then there was the sound of turning things over. Someone was looking for him!
He walked out of his bedroom, entered the kitchen, then stopped at the door of the toilet, and finally came to the living room.
Han Fei didn't see anyone in the living room, but when the light shone in front of the coffee table, a figure vaguely appeared on the glass coffee table.
It stayed in the center of the living room for a long time, and then seemed to find the doll coats piled at the door.
Han Fei didn't see anything approaching, but the dirty clothes he put on him slipped to the ground.
He no longer dared to breathe, but the more nervous he was, the faster his heart beat.
The heavy doll's headgear seemed to be grabbed by someone. When the force wanted to take off the headgear, a strange man's voice suddenly came from outside the security door.
"Fat Liu, why are you coming to our house in the middle of the night?"
"My sister-in-law said she was worried about Han Fei being alone at home, so she asked me to stay nearby."
"Then you might as well just go inside and sit down." The strange man's voice sounded mature and steady, but there was also a strong sense of exhaustion in his words.
"Forget it. Han Fei got excited last time and almost beat me up. He doesn't believe anyone except you two." The fat security guard smiled bitterly and said: "Since you are off work, then I don't have to."
Stay here and watch for any longer, see you later."
The footsteps of the fat security guard were leaving, and at the same time the key was inserted into the keyhole. When the security door was pushed open, Han Fei also heard the sound of his bedroom door closing.
Four sounds came into his ears almost at the same time. Han Fei distinguished them very keenly. He didn't know how he did this.
"Han Fei?"
The security door was pushed open, and an old man entered the house. He seemed to be a forensic examiner from the police station. He had just come out of the autopsy room, so he had a smell that was difficult to clean off even if he took a shower.
The man's hair was half white. After entering the house, he put his briefcase on the wardrobe and walked directly to Han Fei's bedroom. It could be seen that he seemed very worried about Han Fei.
Moving forward quickly, the man was stunned for a moment as he passed the bathroom. He turned on the light in the bathroom, then reached out and took out a big doll's head from the bathroom.
Two holes were poked out of the eye sockets of the doll's big head, and the smile on the doll's face became happier.
"Isn't he asleep yet?"
The man took the big head of the doll and walked towards Han Fei's bedroom. As the man walked deeper into the room, Han Fei, who was lying motionless on the ground, immediately got up. He decisively opened the security door and wore the tattered doll coat.
Run towards the corridor.
"You can't stay in the room tonight, you must leave, otherwise I will probably die in there! There is something hiding in the closet of my bedroom!"
Han Fei ran into the safe passage. The man in the room also heard the sound of the security door being opened, and he quickly came out to check.
"Han Fei? Han Fei!"
The man with half-white hair chased after him. Han Fei was wearing a doll coat and had some difficulty moving. The distance between the two sides was slowly getting closer.
Han Fei, who had always refused to take the elevator, ran to the sixth floor and slapped the elevator buttons frantically.
The silver-gray elevator door slowly opened. Han Fei entered and immediately pressed the first floor button.
The strange man called Han Fei's name and chased after him. His face was full of anxiety, but he was still a step too late.
The elevator door closed and began to move downward.
After the man stood in the elevator and shouted a few times, he dragged his exhausted body into the corridor and started running down.
The elevator reached the first floor first, and Han Fei ran out before the elevator door fully opened.
He didn't dare to stay in this building anymore, so he left Building 4 before the man chased him.
The buildings in the community looked like coffins standing in the dark. Just looking at them made Han Fei feel extremely depressed.
He jumped into the green belt and lay on the ground wearing a doll's clothes, letting the bushes cover him.
"No matter what, I can't go back to that home. I have to survive the night no matter what, and then go to that paradise before eight o'clock!"
There was no relevant memory in his mind, but he felt that this was the most important thing.
He carried his employment certificate with him, and he just had to stay up until dawn.
Han Fei tried his best to make his body fit with the soil, and he moved little by little.
"Han Fei!"
A strange man's voice sounded nearby. He seemed worried that Han Fei would leave the community, so he immediately ran to find the security guard.
After the man left, Han Fei took off the doll's headgear and subconsciously looked around to determine the location of the surveillance.
After discovering that he was being filmed by surveillance cameras, he immediately began to move and hid in other places.
The security guard on duty was alerted and began to cooperate with the man in the search, but Han Fei seemed to have a special talent for hide-and-seek, and was almost discovered several times.
The two sides were actually very close, and Han Fei could even hear the security guards talking.
"The madman in Building 4 ran out again, please be careful!"
"Isn't this causing trouble for us? Can't we just send him to a mental hospital?"
"I heard that he suffers from delusions of being persecuted. He feels that everyone in the world wants to harm him and often does some unbelievable things. It is said that he has been blacklisted by the police because he always reports false police reports."
"real or fake?"
"No, he doesn't even believe his parents. He doesn't dare to eat food casually. He always thinks it's poisonous. Do you think it's ridiculous?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Pay attention to me! Someone has been missing in the old community near the paradise recently, so we will treat this as a practical drill!"
Several security guards and a middle-aged man with half-white hair searched together, but Han Fei was better at taking advantage of the darkness than anyone else.
The sky gradually became brighter, and Han Fei knew that he could no longer hide. He climbed over the wall of the community, determined the location of the paradise, and ran there wearing his tattered doll coat.
He has no memory in his mind and knows nothing. The only clue is the employment certificate.
"I can't believe the memories others tell me. Only the memories I find by myself are truly my own."
Although he had forgotten everything, Han Fei still had such persistence in his heart. He ran through the streets in a bulky doll coat, hiding, and finally arrived at the paradise at around seven o'clock.
Looking at the amusement park that had not yet officially opened for business, Han Fei covered his pocket, not knowing what to do next.
After waiting for a long time, the gate of the park was still closed, but there were already people queuing at the door. Han Fei walked forward wearing dirty and torn doll clothes, and all the people in line were looking at him.
People's gazes made Han Fei feel uneasy. He quickened his pace, rushed to the front of the queue, lay down at the ticket window, and called out to the only two staff members.
Taking out the employment certificate, Han Fei, who didn't remember anything, tried hard to explain.
The staff checked the employment certificate and found that there was indeed nothing wrong with the certificate, but there were big problems with Han Fei's performance.
How could anyone wear such shabby doll clothes and come to work in the park early in the morning?
The two staff members exchanged glances and then called the leader.
Five minutes later, a man with a mustache connected Han Fei to the park. He was very enthusiastic at first, but when he asked Han Fei some questions and found that Han Fei was acting very strange, his expression also changed.
Variety.
The park was about to officially open for business. Mustache did not dare to let Han Fei take up the job directly. He tactfully kicked Han Fei out of the park and told the security guards to keep an eye on Han Fei and not let him come in casually.
Holding the employment certificate that required him to arrive at the park at eight o'clock, Han Fei sat on the steps wearing bloated and worn-out doll clothes.
As the sun rose, there were more and more tourists. Han Fei seemed to be afraid of such occasions. He hid himself in the doll clothes. It seemed that only by staying in this shabby set of doll clothes could he feel at peace.
Across the high guardrail, other doll actors were dressed in beautiful cartoon figures, surrounded by happy children and adults, who distributed candies and small gifts; Han Fei stood alone outside the fence, he was afraid
Lively, huddled under the doll's clothes.
"There is also a lonely doll here. He is so ugly!"
The child's voice sounded behind him, and Han Fei felt someone pat his heavy hood. Already afraid of everything, he immediately ducked aside.
While moving, I seemed to have bumped into the child who just said he was ugly.
The child fell to the ground, and the next moment Han Fei felt himself being pushed and fell directly to the ground.
"Why is this paradise doll still hitting people?"
"Call your supervisor over here!"
The child's cry sounded, and his parents yelled at Han Fei. The doll's headband was also wet, as if someone had poured a drink on it.
Han Fei walked backwards in his bloated doll clothes, his scolding voice getting louder and louder. He wanted to run away, but everything around him made him feel very unsafe.
The heavy hood was slapped again, and the corner of Han Fei's eye inside the doll was touched, causing a stinging pain.
"It was obviously your child who bumped into him, but you still want to accuse others?" A familiar voice said: "I took pictures of them all with my mobile phone, don't go too far!"
Passers-by also came to persuade them, and then the family walked away cursing.
Han Fei, who was used to pain, opened his eyes and looked outside through the gap in his hood.
A mother came to Han Fei from a distance with a boy. The mother felt very gentle, and there seemed to be some sadness hidden in the depths of her eyes. The child next to her was much more mature than her peers, and was always cheerful.
He looks like a little adult.
"This doll is too miserable. He was bullied to such an extent that he didn't even dare to resist. I must work hard in the future and never become someone like him." The boy muttered quietly. He was a little reluctant to get close to the dirty, broken and broken doll.
Bad doll.
After hearing her child's words, the woman stopped and looked at her child.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" The boy looked at his mother in confusion: "Wearing tattered and weird doll clothes, being bullied by children on the street and throwing drinks at me, I feel so embarrassed.
.”
"Life is something that looks different as you grow up." The woman did not directly refute her child. She squatted in front of the child and said softly: "When mom is as old as you,
Sometimes, you may also feel that this job is not decent enough and will make you feel ashamed."
"But later when my mother is the same age as your brother, I will no longer feel ashamed of them, I will only feel pity for them, and I will help them within my ability."
"Later, when my mother and your father were the same age, I thought they were very respectable. They relied on their own hands to make money and live hard. No one has the right to laugh at such people."
After the woman finished speaking very seriously, she touched the boy's head: "Can you understand? Fu Tian."
