Chen Mengting pouted slightly, with a look of displeasure on her face.
"Okay, Inspector Yang, I have put all the information you need on the floor for you. I will go home and change clothes and come back to you."
Chen Mengting waved to me and said with a smile.
"..."
【Protect Chen Mengting.】
I opened my mouth, originally ready to say goodbye to her, but I didn't expect that a faint notification sound from the system came to my ears.
[It seems that this urban legend is indeed true...
Now that the system has opened its mouth, I can be sure of two things:
First, from now on, my goal is to protect her, and the way I can protect her is to prevent her from leaving my side.
Second: The system promised me that it would prompt me to make a choice at a critical moment. Then, this time is the so-called critical moment.
So I should actually intercept her actions now and prevent her from leaving the house.]
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but squint my eyes and thought for a moment.
Seeing Chen Mengting preparing to leave in front of me, I couldn't help but become a little nervous, and then quickly said: "Don't leave yet. You can stay here for the next few days. As for the clothes, just wear mine."
"Why?"
Chen Mengting tilted her head and asked with some confusion.
"This is for your safety."
I looked at her very seriously and answered.
"Ah, then if I stay here with you, is the space in your house enough? I don't think it's particularly nice..."
After hearing what I said, Chen Mengting couldn't help but swallow softly, and asked me nervously.
"Regardless of whether the location is sufficient or not, for the sake of your safety, I still ask you to stay with me for a few days. After all, if I can't protect your safety, then how can I make money?"
I snapped my fingers, smiled softly, and slowly explained to her.
"But, may I ask Inspector Yang, where should I live?"
Chen Mengting gently grabbed the hem of her skirt and spoke to me nervously.
"You can turn on the light and look for someone with a bed."
I couldn't help but sigh when I heard her question, and said helplessly.
[After all, this is my first time in this room. I don’t know the general layout of this room at all. I can’t even see the door or window now.]
Although I felt extremely helpless at this time and was not even sure whether this house had modern electrical appliances, I still had to pretend to be calm and indifferent.
"Snapped."
Just when I was about to say something more, a sudden voice interrupted me.
As the voice sounded, the electric light above the head suddenly shone with white light, spreading the light throughout the room.
Therefore, the furniture layout and visit of the entire house also caught my eye.
In fact, directly opposite me, not far behind the chair, were the black security doors and dark red windows.
This window seems to be to prevent outsiders from peeping, so they cleverly closed the black curtains. Although the curtains are not big, it is impossible to see inside from the outside.
This is probably the reason why I couldn't see the windows and doors just now. In addition to the dim color of the furniture, the dim light in the room may also be a reason. To be honest, under the light, I felt an inexplicable sense of security.
feel.
The place where I sit now is the reception room, and to my right, which is the left when I enter the door. There is also a huge black hanging hanging here.
The colored curtain, as Chen Mengting pulled it, the room behind the curtain also appeared.
If you take a quick glance at this room, you can see three huge bookshelves.
The bookshelves are packed full of books, as if this is a place dedicated to checking information and reading books.
Even on the ground, various supernatural events and mystery books fell.
Next to the bookshelf, in addition to a small bed, there is a white wooden door not far away.
Seeing her wanting to continue exploring, I stood up and followed her quietly.
With a "squeak" sound.
The wooden door was gently pushed open by Chen Mengting, and the arrangement behind the wooden door appeared in front of Chen Mengting and I.
The house behind the wooden door is completely different from the layout in front of the wooden door. Compared with the mess of the previous house, this house looks very neat, as if it is not the house of the same owner at all.
The scene before me couldn't help but make me a little suspicious.
The house behind the wooden door is divided into three small rooms. On the left is a small kitchen with everything. In the middle is a small bathroom and washroom. On the right is a very neat bedroom.
In general, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
Following her, I patted her shoulder gently and said softly: "If we both rest at the same time, you can sleep in this room, and I will sleep on the small bed outside. Then I will just sleep."
If there is any emergency, you must call my name, you know?"
"Well, I understand."
Chen Mengting bit her lip and nodded lightly.
"Okay, now go and see if there are any clothes in my wardrobe that are suitable for you. I'll wait for you outside. After all, it's really inconvenient for you to move in this outfit."
I waved my hand to her and said to her very calmly.
"I know...I'll change it now."
Chen Mengting's pretty face turned red, she walked gently into the house and closed the wooden door tightly.
"Having said that, I'd better check the time first to avoid anything happening while she's changing clothes."
While muttering to myself, I lowered my head slightly and looked at the watch on my hand.
【3:17】
[Is it past three o'clock now?]
I was thinking a little doubtfully as I walked to the window sill, ready to open the curtains and look at the sky outside.
I carefully opened a little of the curtains. Just when I was about to check whether it was day or night outside, the scene in front of me scared me. Goosebumps and cold sweat also rushed to my body in an instant.
"Well!"
I was a little frightened and covered my mouth, trying not to make any sound at this time.
What appeared in front of my eyes was a dark figure with red eyes. I saw him crawling on the window sill, seemingly looking into the room, but I had clearly closed the curtains, but he was still here observing.
He seemed to be looking for something, and seemed to be waiting for something.
With some fear, I tried to put down the curtains in my hands early to avoid his sight.
But he suddenly turned around in an instant, and their eyes met for a moment.
"Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom!!"
My powerful heartbeat began to beat in my ears.
Obviously, the scene in front of me was quite frightening.
I was so frightened that I collapsed on the ground and watched helplessly as the monster in front of me stared at me.
He looked at me and I looked at him.
"You are Feng'er! I am Sha! Brilliant and endless~ to the end of the world~~"
Just when my body couldn't move due to extreme fear, there was something in my pocket
My cell phone vibrated and sounded suddenly, and the ringtone also interrupted the affectionate look between the two of us.
"..."
After he heard the sound, he stared at me with his red eyes, and then disappeared without a trace as a purple particle effect floated by.
"beep......"
As the phone in my pocket rang, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, one day, my life was saved by the sound of sand sculpture ringtones...
I was quite emotional after the disaster. At this time, I stood up tremblingly, touched my back which was already wet with cold sweat, and sighed softly.
As the dark shadow dissipated, the bright sky outside appeared in front of my eyes.
[Is it daytime at this time?]
Feeling a little scared, I couldn't help but ask myself questions.
"Dong Dong Dong! Dong Dong... Dong... Dong..."
Gradually, I lost my fear and my heartbeat finally stabilized.
〔Just now……
What on earth was the dark shadow that looked at me just now?
Is it possible? Is this guy...the murderer of all the ladies?
Could it be that... he is the real murderer behind the so-called urban legend?]
Thinking of this, I looked at the window with some fear. People were coming and going outside the window, which was naturally scary.
"...Phew, calm down."
I struggled with my trembling body, took a breath of cold air, stood up and walked to the window, tightening the curtains to block the view inside the house.
After being frightened, I rubbed my somewhat pale cheeks and lightly slapped my forehead, forcing myself to regain my thoughts.
[Calm down, Yang Chen, calm down!!]
Although the beating of my heart slowed down, once the cautious moment sounded, my body couldn't help but tremble, and fear surged into my heart one after another.
At this time, I was pinching my thigh and trying to use the pain to apply cold compress to my brain. On the other hand, I kept telling myself to calm down my mind.
"Gulu."
I swallowed lightly and continued to say to myself: "Yang Chen, you have to calm down. If you... are frightened just by encountering this small difficulty, then you will not be able to complete the subsequent tasks..."
I took a few more deep breaths to finally stabilize my mind, and my overall fear also dropped a lot.
[Let’s first see which boss called me. It’s really interesting. I didn’t expect there are already mobile phones in this place.]
Thinking of this, I gently took out my phone and looked at the missed call record.
Click on the contact details.
【135xxxxxxxx
Has been noted by 15 people: promotion, advertising]
"Ah……"
Seeing this scene in front of me, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and secretly lamented that fate has played a trick on people.
Back then, I was very tired of these people selling advertisements. After all, every time I played games or went to class, these guys would come in, which was very troublesome.
But... what I never expected was that one day I would be saved by an advertisement that I hated so much back then.
It's really unimaginable.
"Tsk."
I shook my head, put down my phone gently, and stuffed it back into my trouser pocket.
The occurrence of this incident relieved my fear very well, and my little mind with random thoughts began to calm down for the first time in a long time.
[Yang Chen, calm down and analyze the situation calmly.]
