Chapter 174. [Case 21] In the office

Hu Zongren stopped chewing potato chips in his mouth. The clicking sound in his mouth was probably similar to the sound of the old woman eating carrots. So he threw back the potato chips he originally held in his hand.

In the packaging bag, he took the opportunity to clean up the powder on his fingers, and then asked Teacher Yang, so he had his first witness at that time. What he witnessed was that an inexplicable old lady appeared in the supermarket in the morning.

The supermarket was not open to welcome customers at that time, and then I saw the old lady eating carrots, right?

Teacher Yang said, that's about it, this is just the beginning. Hu Zongren asked him again, cough, what you just said, the staff member actually heard it from several different places before he saw the old lady.

The voice is right? Teacher Yang said yes, according to what the staff member said. Hu Zongren asked again, why did he only see an old lady? Teacher Yang said, isn't this the reason why you need to be asked to investigate?

?Anyway, this was the first time this happened that day, and I only saw one person, that old lady.

Hu Zongren asked Teacher Yang, what was the reaction of your staff member when he saw the old lady? He couldn’t just see it and then ignore it, right? Teacher Yang said that he himself said that when he saw the old lady,

When we saw the old lady eating carrots, our staff’s first reaction was not that they had encountered a ghost. They just felt strange, so they asked the old lady who she was and how did she get in? But the old lady didn’t answer.

Instead, he slowly and leisurely retracted his half-stretched body back behind the shelf, blocking the staff's view. And our staff put down the dishes in their hands and planned to follow over to see what was going on. It was only a few meters away.

, he just turned around to look, but found that there was nothing behind the shelves, and the old lady was nowhere to be seen. So he began to wonder if he was in a trance and hallucinating. Just when he was wondering, he saw

There was a pile of carrot residue on the ground, and a carrot with the end chewed off.

Teacher Yang said that it was only then that he realized that it was not his hallucination, but that he might have been a ghost.

Teacher Yang went on to say that our employees have been selling goods at this time for a long time. Since we are night shift workers and we are also some older people, as they work in this profession, they usually understand that there are occasional things that happen during night shift work.

Some situations he encountered, as well as some taboos that needed attention, etc., so he mustered up the courage to keep reciting Amitabha in his heart until dawn, and then he continued to sell goods. So when we opened the door that morning, the dishes were not yet available.

Be prepared, he told me this situation when I asked him about it that day.

In fact, I also know that Teacher Yang is right. Workers who work night shifts for a long time usually have some unwritten rules or experience left by their predecessors. For example, taxi drivers usually do not walk at night.

We will not carry passengers in the wilderness, let alone in the wilderness. For example, bus drivers, the drivers of the last bus, will also use a broom to clean the car after the end of the shift, and while sweeping, they must mutter "Get off, get off."

For example, if an actor needs to take a night scene, if he needs to urinate urgently and wants to be relieved, he will silently say something like "no wonder, no wonder", because in the eyes of most people, night is regarded as a place where supernatural events happen.

During the high incidence period, although this is a common phenomenon, there is currently not much evidence that ghosts only appear at night. It is just that relatively speaking, people are more sensitive and more likely to be afraid at night, and they may sometimes pass you by during the day.

The person passing by is just a ghost.

Teacher Yang went on to say that it was only the first time. I didn’t take it seriously when I heard it. As a working environment like a supermarket, everyone often hears gossips, some of which are weirder than ghosts.

I just heard it as a story. But about a week after that day, Teacher Yang himself was delayed due to work that day, so he got off work late. It’s not necessarily late, but it’s just for the time of commuting to and from get off work.

It was late, but the supermarket was still open at that time, the sales area was crowded, and the supermarket had not yet closed. I walked to the duty manager's office and told him to finish the remaining important work after closing.

So I planned to leave the supermarket and go home. Just as I walked out of the supermarket, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't picked up my mobile phone, so I returned to the office to get it.

Teacher Yang said that it was already dark at that time, and the lights and windows in the office were turned off when I left, so if I didn’t turn on the lights after opening the door, I would definitely not be able to see anything. After that, he pointed to his

Desk, I have a habit. When I am in the office, I usually don’t put my mobile phone in my trouser pocket, but put it on the table. So when I opened the door and was about to turn on the light that day, I saw my mobile phone light up.

The light came on, and it went out quickly. Teacher Yang said that he didn’t think much about it at the time. He thought it was a message or a call that happened to come in, so he turned on the screen. When he turned on the light, he looked at his phone.

, but found that there was no message or call record, but on his screen, he saw a dirty fingerprint that looked like a thumb. Teacher Yang subconsciously looked at his finger and found that it was actually clean and there were no

Any dirty thing, but at this moment, he found a dark fingerprint on his desk. The fingerprint was incomplete, at least the little finger and the belly of the palm were invisible. After comparing it,

I found that the black handprint on the table was the same thing as the mark on my mobile phone. I looked carefully, but I couldn't tell what it was.

When he said this, Teacher Yang seemed a little uneasy, so he grabbed the potato chips in the potato chip pocket in front of Hu Zongren, stuffed a few slices into his mouth, and said while chewing, that black substance cannot be explained.

What is it specifically, but it is very similar to the kind of damp soil or coal ash mixed with water. It can be wiped off with a tissue, but when you put it up to your nose and smell it, it can

There was a fishy smell and a bit of a stink.

I hurriedly asked Teacher Yang, is the smell like that of dead rats draining into the ditch or rotten eggs? Teacher Yang frowned and thought for a while and said, he couldn’t describe the smell. It was a bit like the smell of something becoming moldy due to excessive moisture.

Because of this strange fingerprint, he began to mutter in his heart, but since he had never seen it in person, he did not dare to make a conclusion. He just regarded it as a strange thing and paid attention to it secretly. Teacher Yang told us that that day

After returning home, I thought about this matter over and over again in my mind. Although it seemed that it had something to do with hauntings based on what happened before and this incident I encountered, I couldn't convince myself.

So he guessed that there might be a thief in the office. Just when he was about to steal my mobile phone, he let me break into the door, so he hid. When he arrived at the office the next day, he planned to check the windows or doors for anything.

There were no signs of damage, but as I looked at it, I started to feel something was wrong.

Teacher Yang pointed to the top of the office door and said, "Both of you are not short, but can you kick it to such a high place?" I took a closer look and discovered that it was almost two meters above the ground.

, there are two footprints on the white wall. The footprints are small, but they are not the footprints of children. Considering the previous situation in the supermarket, I think these are the footprints of the old lady eating carrots. However,

The footprints looked like they were juxtaposed on one left and one on the right. It would be fine if someone was playing a prank and deliberately kicked them so high, but now it looks more like a person standing perpendicular to the wall and facing the ground.

, with his back to the ceiling, maybe that day Teacher Yang went back to the office to get his mobile phone, and when he opened the door, the old lady was standing above his head, looking straight at him.

Although it is a bit weird, one of the main obvious characteristics of why ghosts easily scare others after being seen is that they often make some postures and movements that are difficult for us to understand, or have behaviors that make people uncomfortable at first glance.

The appearance of fear of fire? If not, why are people afraid of ghosts? If children deliberately make some intriguing postures, it is because they are innocent, and if adults deliberately do so, it can be understood as pretending to be crazy, but if it is a ghost,

That's just to get your attention.

In fact, this is not difficult to analyze. For example, the old lady's ghost didn't need to be noticed by the clicking sound on the supermarket shelves at first, or it didn't need to be noticed by that one staff member, but it just did it.

For example, the weird laughter and the half-figure that the staff member saw when he turned his head are actually unnecessary, because the fear of ghosts towards living people is largely the same as the fear of living people towards ghosts.

Yes, what I’m afraid of is just the unknown and unpredictability. Teacher Yang went on to say that when he saw the pair of footprints that day, he stepped on the stool to take a look and found that the black part of the footprints happened to be the same as the previous night.

I found something black on my phone and on the table. In addition, the footprints appeared so strangely and everyone in the office saw them. Everyone in the office speculated for a while, and finally Teacher Yang revealed what happened.

Teacher Yang said that our working environment is like this. After a strange thing occurs, it quickly spreads to everyone. So within a few days, the rumor that the supermarket was haunted spread throughout the logistics department and management.

The news spread like wildfire. More people spread the news, and even though they were not afraid, they couldn't help but become afraid. Teacher Yang said, look at the few empty seats there. It's because they quit their jobs after our incident came up.

Hu Zongren said with a smile, what kind of psychological quality did he have to be frightened so easily, and he didn’t see it with his own eyes. After being silent for a few seconds, Teacher Yang tore open a pack of shrimp crackers with a loud noise, and ate them while talking. Later, he really

I saw it, and more than one person saw it.
