Patty said a simple hello to everyone, then picked up the bowl and ate rice in her mouth silently.
There was a faint sense of low pressure all over her body, and she didn't know what had happened to this girl.
"Buzz buzz..."
There was a vibrating sound from a cell phone. It was Patty’s cell phone.
Then she turned off her phone without even looking at it.
"Landlord, let me tell you something." Patty raised her head and looked at Mo Xiao, "If someone comes to see me recently, you can tell me a lie and drive them away."
"What's the situation?" Mo Xiao was a little confused for a moment, "Who will come to find you?"
"Hey, don't worry about it anyway, just do as I say." Patty obviously didn't want to talk more, so she just took a few bites of rice, left the dining table and went back to the room, leaving the others looking at each other.
Although she didn't understand what happened, Mo Xiao still silently wrote down Patty's words.
...
It’s another sunny day.
In the morning, Mo Xiao was on the window sill and saw a few familiar neighbors standing on the street, whispering something with solemn expressions, and looking towards his house from time to time, which made Mo Xiao a little curious.
Out of curiosity, he went to take a look, so Mo Xiao put on his shoes and went out. When the neighbors saw him, they immediately waved to him.
"Xiao Mo! Come here quickly!"
The person he was talking to was Aunt Liu, who lived next to their house. She had always been a friendly person. To be honest, the people living nearby were all old neighbors with good tempers. They usually looked down upon each other without looking up, so they were very familiar with each other.
Mo Xiao leaned over and said with a smile: "What happened to Aunt Liu? Uncle Li and you guys are also here. Let's talk about it first. Don't mention introducing a wife or anything. Just hearing about it makes me dizzy. I still have to talk about it."
I don’t want to get married.”
"Don't worry, we won't chat with you today." Aunt Liu lowered her voice and quietly glanced at Mo Xiao's old house. "Aunt asked you, have you heard any strange noises recently? Especially, especially
In the middle of the night."
While Aunt Liu was talking, others quietly came over, all very curious about the answer to this question.
Mo Xiao didn't know why, scratched his head and asked doubtfully: "No movement? No... Nothing was lost. Did you see a thief?"
"It would be easier if it was a thief..." Aunt Liu looked a little scared and gently poked her old man Qian Yuzhong with her elbow.
Qian Yuzhong was an honest man, so he immediately put his hands together and bowed in a low voice: "There may really be a ghost here..."
Mo Xiao was stunned. Could it be that the news about the haunting of the evil ghost some time ago was finally known? But then he thought about it, it has been several months since the evil ghost was eliminated. Isn’t it too late to get the news now?
Seeing that Mo Xiao remained silent, Qian Yuzhong continued: "The dog raised by Lao Li and his family didn't know what they saw a few days ago. It was frightened and refused to come out of the cage for several days. The most terrifying thing is that last night,
When your Aunt Liu went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, she saw a shadow floating outside the window..."
"As for the haunting... I also saw some unclean things." Lao Li glanced sideways at Mo Xiao, "I was watering the flowers on the balcony some time ago and saw the window on the first floor of your house opened by itself. At that time, I thought
I saw it wrong, but as you know... There is a camera on my balcony. I remembered this a few days ago and looked through the camera records..."
Lao Li shuddered as he spoke.
"What did you see?" Mo Xiao asked, he had a bad feeling.
Lao Li shakily lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep breath: "When I saw the window open, a vague mist-like thing floated into your house..."
Mo Xiao immediately closed his eyes, covering his forehead, and in his heart ten thousand grass and mud horses were galloping past. He was 100% sure that the person captured by the camera must be Patty!
When she goes out, she will wrap herself in dark red mist. This is a way to hide herself. It has a strong ability to interfere with ordinary people's naked eyes, but it is slightly inferior to electronic devices.
"I remember some time ago, Xiao Mo, there were rumors that your house was haunted." Aunt Liu's voice was trembling a little, "Aunt asked you, are there really no supernatural events happening in your house? Look at how many cats are around your house now.
, As the saying goes, cats belong to Yin, they not only attract ghosts but can also see the souls of the dead..."
Mo Xiao's head was pounding, and he quickly shook his head: "No, definitely not. If something happens to my house, do you think I will be fine? And you also know that I have several guests who have moved in, and they didn't say it was haunted or anything.
Right? And there is a saying that cats can ward off evil spirits. Feudal superstition is not advisable!"
He silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling very guilty. These people in his family were really worried, and they didn't know how to pay more attention...
Qian Yuzhong nodded slightly, seeming to agree with Mo Xiao's statement, but he continued: "What about the supernatural images taken by Lao Li? And the ghostly image your Aunt Liu saw..." p>
"If it's a ghost, I think it's the shadow of an animal or something else..." Mo Xiao explained bravely, "If it's fog, it might be a natural phenomenon caused by rising water vapor. Someone happened to open a window inside." How could a few middle-aged and elderly people understand this? When they heard Mo Xiao’s explanation, they frowned and thought hard.
In fact, Mo Xiao himself is also bullshit. Anyway, it's best to say it clearly. You don't understand it and he doesn't understand it either. In the end, it just gets over.
"No, I didn't see anyone at the window. Is there someone who can open the window?" Lao Li shook his head and said.
"Maybe it's blocked by the curtains." Mo Xiao continued to explain.
"No... something doesn't feel right..." Lao Li stamped out the cigarette butt, "I still asked my son to order a batch of yellow talismans and peach wood swords for exorcism online and put them at home...
Just in case."
Aunt Liu also echoed: "Yes...it's a bit uneasy to just listen to Xiao Mo. You have to think of other ways."
"How about calling the police?" Qian Yuzhong came up with an idea.
"The police still care about catching ghosts?" Aunt Liu glared at him, "Be careful if others arrest you as a lunatic."
Qian Yuzhong suddenly fell silent.
"Uncle Li, can you let me make a copy of the image you took?" Mo Xiao asked cautiously.
"Of course. Let's go now. I'll show you by the way to prove that I'm not lying." Lao Li patted his thigh, pulled Mo Xiao and walked home.
Mo Xiao is not worried about being able to take a picture of Patty's true body. He wants a copy of the image to show to his family members so that they can take a look at it.
"Look, the blurry fog will appear immediately."
Lao Li fiddled with the monitor a few times and called up the video playback. Sure enough, a vague black mist appeared by the window, and then the window opened automatically, and then the black mist floated in.
The fog was very light, because it was night, and not many details could be seen in the black and white image. Even so, it scared the few people watching.
"Is it a ghost?"
"It should be...it's not like the water vapor is rising or something..."
"Have you seen the natural phenomenon Xiao Mo mentioned?"
"Guess."
...
Mo Xiao took out his mobile phone, silently copied the image, and then found an excuse to sneak back home.
