There is a phenomenon in China, that is, in a few places, cities are developing rapidly but not well protected. The overall planning of urban construction has no long-term goals and is not coordinated and perfect.
The result is that the overall urban landscape is messy and even destroyed. Among them, Mudanjiang is a typical example of failure in this regard.
Before liberation, both sides of the street here were lined with small single-family buildings in the Western architectural style, coupled with lush tall trees, it was originally a very quiet and beautiful place.
However, in recent years, due to the individual development by real estate developers, the harmonious style here has been completely destroyed.
As far as the eye can see, one side of the street is filled with bustling high-rise buildings such as office buildings, large shopping malls, supermarkets, catering and entertainment venues, etc., while the other side is an unplanned area with several small Western-style buildings and universities.
city.
Each of these small western-style buildings is now occupied by several ordinary families. Due to housing constraints, each family has built many facilities to increase the area on their balconies or windows according to their own wishes.
In addition, the small building has been in disrepair for a long time, and it looks particularly dilapidated from the outside. However, these houses were very strong when they were built, so they are still good inside.
Only one small white building still retains its original flavor. The exterior wall has been obviously painted and the building structure has not been damaged. It stands out among this mess. It can almost be said to be a flower among the rocks.
Tingting stands tall.
The owner of the small building is named Huang He, and the house was passed down from his ancestors.
It is said that his ancestors were once wealthy, but in his generation, this house was the only one left.
He is lazy and has no ambition to make progress, so he is nicknamed "Lazy Egg". Fortunately, this house prevents him from becoming a beggar.
He himself knew that this was his only way to survive, so he used this beautiful western-style building to open a small hotel.
It is said to be a hotel, but in fact it is just a small hotel that rents rooms on a daily basis. Occasionally, one or two guests stay for a period of time, mainly to meet the needs of young couples on the university campus.
These couples all live in school dormitories and have no means to live together, so they often come here to rent a room for trysts.
And because this is the only decent hotel nearby, the occupancy rate here is very high.
He hired a woman from the country, Sister Sun, to be responsible for cleaning. He didn't have to work hard himself, he was only responsible for collecting money, and then stayed in the attic to spend the day leisurely and boringly.
Sister Sun, on the other hand, lives in the basement.
The classmates in the university town all call this place a love hotel, and no one can remember what the previous name was.
Now that school is about to be on vacation and couples are about to part ways, his business is even more prosperous.
Facing another pair of guests who requested to stay, he took full advantage of Sister Sun's visit to her man working on the construction site. He charged the same price, but arranged for them to stay in the basement and beat up the young student couple.
Pen.
There is no heating in the basement and it is very cold in winter nights.
After the passion passed, the couple hugged each other and hid in the bed to keep warm. They talked for a while about the upcoming activities held by the school before falling into a deep sleep.
But in the middle of the night, the girl suddenly woke up.
She didn't know why, but she suddenly woke up from a deep sleep, as if she had never slept before.
Perhaps, it’s not soberness, but panic? The deepest fear in the subconscious!
The basement is very dark. After turning off the lights, only the so-called skylight, which is the top end of the inner wall that is almost flush with the ground outside the building, and the light coming through the one-foot-square hemp glass, can blurry distinguish nearby objects.
But that little bit of light made the girl feel like someone was stealing from her.
She actually couldn't see anything, but she felt that something darker was hidden in the darkness, spying on her with malicious intent.
There are not only the two of them in this room, there is also a third person.
The feeling was so strong, so terrifying, and it suddenly hit me in an instant. It scared this usually timid girl to the point where she didn’t dare to move or scream. She just stared at the invisible darkness with wide eyes.
.
Like a small animal hunted by a ferocious beast, it only knows how to wait in terror to be devoured, and has completely lost the ability to escape and call for help.
A long time passed, and nothing strange happened, but she still felt creepy. The unknown fear made her passively stand in a stalemate with the things in the dark, breaking into a cold sweat on this cold winter night.
At this time, the boy moved a little, then turned over and hugged her and continued to sleep.
The girl took the opportunity to twist the boy's arm across her waist.
The boy was still in a dream, and subconsciously shrank his hands and grunted, but did not wake up. The girl could only increase her strength.
The boy woke up in pain and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Turn on the lights."
The girl replied tremblingly, her throat was dry, and her voice was small. Her eyes were still staring at the darkness, fearing that something strange would suddenly come.
There was only one dim light in the basement that looked like it might go off at any moment, and the switch was on the wall on the boy's side.
The boy was sleepy and didn't want to stretch out his hand from the warm bed, "What's the matter?"
"Turn on the lights, please!"
The boy felt suspicious when the girl seemed to be crying, but he still turned around and turned on the light.
The weak light only illuminated a semicircle, and the boundaries were blurred, extending to places where it could not be illuminated.
Only then did they realize that the basement was actually very large, narrow and long, getting narrower as they went inside. They couldn't see the direction of the door from the inside.
"What's going on?" The boy saw the girl's face full of fear and anxiety. She kept shrinking into his arms, hugged her tenderly, and asked softly, "Are you having a nightmare?"
The girl shook her head and continued to stare at the invisible end. She felt that the thing in the darkness had retreated a little and was already outside the door, but the feeling of being peeped still existed.
The boy became more and more puzzled. He followed the girl's frightened eyes and looked into the darkness, but saw nothing.
"It must be a nightmare." He kissed the girl's sweaty forehead, "I shouldn't have talked to you about tomorrow's event before going to bed. It was too cruel and inhumane. But don't be afraid, I'm here!"
"No." The girl pressed closer to her boyfriend, leaned into his ear, and said nervously: "There seemed to be someone in the room just now! Now they have run outside the door."
"I just said you were having a nightmare!" The boy laughed, "This is impossible. I was afraid that it would be too exciting when we did it, and it would be bad for others to see it, so I locked the door carefully from the inside.
.”
The boy touched his girlfriend ambiguously and said, "And you have forgotten that this door is so difficult to open and makes such a loud noise when it is opened. How could anyone come in?"
The girl's fear subsided slightly, but the feeling just now still made her heart palpitate, "But I really felt that someone was there."
"That's your nightmare that is too real."
"No, no, it's true, I'm sure."
The boy raised his shoulders and said, "Okay, if you really feel uneasy, I'll go take a look."
"Don't go, I'm scared!" The girl hugged her boyfriend tightly, feeling an inexplicable panic, "Don't leave me here alone."
The boy coaxed her, "Be good, don't be afraid. I'm here!"
It was so cold in the basement that the boy wanted to get back into the warm bed. "Why don't we lie down and talk for a while, and I'll stay with you, so you won't be afraid anymore."
The girl nodded. Talking to her boyfriend for a while calmed her down a little. When the fear subsided a little, she even began to wonder if she had a nightmare, because there was really nothing in the room.
They lay down hugging each other, turned off the lights, and talked softly for a while. Sure enough, nothing happened.
Gradually, sleepiness slowly came back.
"Hey!" came a strange huffing sound.
It's very light, but it is particularly obvious in this silent and dark night.
In the haze, the girl suddenly woke up again.
She stared at the dark void at a loss. Before she could react, she suddenly felt something was wrong under the quilt.
There was a hand stroking his body, dry, rough, cold and stiff.
Whose hand?
She was resting her head on her boyfriend's left arm, and he was lying on his back. The angle of that hand...
"ah!"
She screamed, sat up as a conditioned reflex, and subconsciously pushed the hand away. She didn't touch anything real, but the feeling of being touched still remained in her mind.
The boy was awakened by his girlfriend's scream while he was half asleep. He hurriedly sat up and turned on the wall lamp.
Under the light, there was still nothing, and the depths of darkness still could not be seen.
"What's wrong?" he asked hurriedly.
"He's here again, and he's touching me!" The girl hugged her boyfriend tightly, "I'm afraid, let's get out of here quickly."
"Where can we go in the middle of the night? We can't go back to school! It's very cold tonight. We will freeze to death standing on the street." The boy interrupted the girl, "You must have regained consciousness just now, and then had a nightmare.
.”
"No, no, someone really came in, really."
"Impossible."
"I didn't lie to you, why don't you believe me?"
The girl was anxious and scared, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked into the darkness from time to time. At this time, the hairy feeling faded away again, but she felt that it was not her hallucination.
The boy was helpless, "I'll go check on the head office."
"Don't go!"
Extremely sleepy but unable to sleep, the boy began to become a little impatient.
The girl choked up with reluctance.
She didn't want to anger her boyfriend, but she was really scared.
She didn't know what to do? How to make her boyfriend believe her, how to leave this gloomy basement?
She looked around, but nothing really appeared. Even in the dark places where light could not be illuminated, there was no movement.
As soon as her boyfriend wakes up and the lights turn on, the terrible feeling slowly dissipates. Is she crazy?
She hesitated for a long time and finally said: "Okay, let's go together."
"No, it's cold outside." Seeing his girlfriend's frightened look, the boy relented, "Just lie down and I won't go far."
As he spoke, he stood up, put on his clothes haphazardly, and took out a lighter and the spring knife he usually used to cut fruit from his schoolbag.
"Be careful!" the girl whispered, really unwilling to be separated from him.
The boy waved the knife and lighter in his hand and walked out, "Don't worry! It's okay."
He walked to the edge of the darkness where the light could not reach, and stepped in without warning, as if he was swallowed by the darkness.
This gave the girl a sudden feeling of separation, fear and sadness at that moment.
She gently called her boyfriend's name.
The boy slowly turned his head and turned on the lighter, "Look, there's nothing." He looked around with the faint light, "Now I'll go out and take a look."
"No, you can come back. I believe it, and I won't be suspicious anymore." The last 'ghost' girl said it in passing, but it still made her shiver uncontrollably.
Is there a ghost here?
They have been here many times and have never encountered a ghost! But what did they encounter just now?
The boy insisted, "Just take a look."
He hopes that his behavior can completely reassure his girlfriend and stop her from being inexplicably frightened, so that everyone can sleep peacefully.
He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all. If someone is causing trouble, he also believes that his own strength is not inferior to that of the peeping thief.
His strong blood makes him not afraid of anything.
The lighter went out.
The boy's figure fell into darkness again.
The girl couldn't see over there, she only heard the creaking of the door, and a gust of cold wind came straight into the room.
Then, the wall lamp suddenly went out.
Suddenly, the surroundings were dark, with only the cold wind blowing in, mixed with the whine of the wind in the open space. Other than that, there was no movement. The boy's message seemed to suddenly disappear from the world.
The girl was frightened and huddled in bed, feeling the cold wind touching her face.
The loneliness and fear made her lie stiffly for a while, and then she plucked up the courage to start calling her boyfriend's name softly.
In the dark winter night, accompanied by the whining wind, a woman's voice slowly called out to her sweetheart. This scene was no different from a ghost movie, but it frightened herself first and she immediately fell silent.
However, at this moment, a voice came from the darkness and began to respond to her call.
First there was the sound of the door squeaking, then the sound of the door being locked and the sound of footsteps.
One step, one step, one step!
One side of the bed felt like it was sinking downwards. Someone was sitting on the edge of the bed, but he didn't speak.
The girl held her breath and asked, "Is that you?"
The person beside the bed didn't answer, but only made a squeaking sound, as if he was twisting his body, and then with a snap, a small cluster of firelight lit up, and behind the firelight was the boy's face.
He looked at the girl intently, his face looking uncertain in the flickering light of the fire, and a bit gray and ferocious.
But the girl finally felt a little relieved when she saw her lover's face, so after the fire went out, she couldn't help complaining: "You didn't say anything, you scared me to death, I thought you were gone."
The boy still didn't speak, and just got into the quilt.
For a moment, the girl felt the cold outside rushing in, making her shiver, "Did you find anything?"
silence.
The girl was a little annoyed when her boyfriend kept silent. Just as she was about to say something, a hand suddenly crossed under the quilt and began to caress her body roughly.
"Don't do this."
As soon as she finished speaking, a thought in her mind made all the hairs on her body stand up. The touch of this hand could not be clearer to her, it was dry, rough, cold and stiff.
She screamed and pushed the strange hand away with all her strength, but nothing touched the tentacles, as if they were traveling through the air.
"You brought him in!"
She screamed uncontrollably and tried to get up, but found that she was being held down and couldn't move at all.
With a snap, the cluster of firelight lit up again, still illuminating the boy's face. But this time the girl felt something was wrong.
The firelight was not emitted by a lighter at all, but emitted a faint blue light, flickering strangely. It did not have the warmth that fire should have, but instead felt cold and whooshing.
And the most important thing is that the boy did not hold a lighter in one hand, the fire appeared out of thin air.
The boy finally spoke. Although his voice was the same, his tone was very stiff, "Isn't it me?"
The girl was frightened and wanted to jump up, but she was still unable to move. She could only look at her boyfriend's turned head at close range, facing her in a pure 90-degree posture that is impossible for humans.
"The light is broken." She was so frightened that she could hardly speak. She could only murmur in a low voice. Even she didn't know what she was saying. "I never want to come here again."
"How about that? If you don't come, I can't get you," the boy continued, "If you like the light, I can give it to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wall lamp turned on again.
The flash of light made the girl feel dazzling, and she closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw the boy's head resting on the pillow, with the quilt covering his chin, and a pair of eyes staring at her.
It looked weird and eerie, because his eyes didn't blink, and there were no undulations under the quilt that a human body should have.
Subconsciously, she violently opened the quilt.
And something under the quilt made her let out a scream that shook the night.
The next day, the murder case seemed to have wings, and everyone knew about it. When Xiaoye, the leader of the dark forces in the university town, learned about the incident, he was shocked at first and fell into deep thought for an instant.
Judging from some of the cases involving Zhongnanhai bodyguards, it was definitely not done by ordinary people at this time. Could it be...
Xiaoye secretly complained, how could he be allowed to do all the strange things? Why is God so unfair? Damn it!
