Night Eighty-Four: A Red Lantern

An original little story every night to accompany you through those sleepless nights...... I'm a ghostly maniac, are you ready?

Zhang Xiaokai's luck today is really bad, he just came out of the unit, because it was dark and the weather was cold.

Xiao Kai rode a motorcycle just lightly wiped the glasses, but he didn't expect to hit a big truck parked on the side of the road, but the truck didn't do anything at all, but Xiao Kai fell down with the car and the glasses, and the glasses were broken directly!

People who are not myopic will never be able to understand how painful it is for people who are short-sighted to lose their glasses.

Xiao Kai is also very responsive, there is nothing wrong with his body, and the car is much stronger than him, so naturally there is nothing wrong.

To say that the truck driver is also immoral enough, after finding that Xiao Kai was rear-ended, he drove the car and ran away, and when Xiao Kai got up from the ground, he had already run away.

Xiao Kai could only sigh that he was unlucky, wearing incomplete glasses, picked up the motorcycle, and rode slowly towards home, because he couldn't see the road clearly, he didn't dare to ride too fast.

Fortunately, his home is not very far from the unit, and this road has been walked hundreds of times, even with his eyes closed, he can probably touch his home.

But I used to be able to see clearly with glasses, but now I see everything like a mosaic, and it's foggy.

In this way, it seems that the road home every day suddenly becomes a little strange, and everything is no longer what I remember.

In the past, it only took ten minutes to go home at most, but now this speed is about half an hour at most, and it's a big deal to push back, and it is estimated that you can go back in an hour, thinking happily.

At this time, Xiao Kai passed by the moat that passed every day, and when he saw the familiar river, Xiao Kai's heart became a lot more steady, and he felt that this road was no longer so strange, it was still the road he was familiar with and remembered.

The river doesn't look very clear at night, but you can clearly hear the sound of flowing water.

There are white stone railings on both sides of the road, and there are street lights every other distance, but unfortunately these street lights are basically in disrepair, and many of them have been extinguished.

Suddenly, Xiao Kai saw a big red lantern hanging on a high street lamp post, the light inside the lantern was not very bright, but the red color of the lantern seemed to illuminate this dark night unusually dazzling.

Without glasses, Xiao Kai saw everything very vaguely, only this red lantern he could see very clearly, and when he passed the lamppost, Xiao Kai stopped unconsciously.

As soon as the car stopped, I heard the sound of people wading through the river, and then I saw a person walking out of the moat drenched in water.

Seeing such a person in the middle of the night, Xiao Kai unconsciously took two steps back, kept an absolutely safe distance from him, and looked at each other cautiously.

After the man was completely ashore, he stopped under the red lantern and raised his head to look at Xiao Kai, who finally saw the other party's appearance clearly.

It was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, a little thin, I don't know if he had been soaking in the water for too long, and his face was a little scary.

The man climbed up the slippery lamppost in three or two clicks, took off the red lantern on it, and then said to Xiao Kai with a gloomy face: "It's late, you can give me a ride."

Xiao Kai didn't dare to refuse the other party directly, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "This big brother, you see that I am a short-sighted eye, my eyes have been broken, and I can't see the road clearly, you let me carry you back, it's too dangerous, why don't you go to find someone else?"

"Where is so much nonsense, don't you want to go home!" The other party's tone was very cold, so frightened that Xiao Kai didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to start the motorcycle and prepare to drive the other party back.

It's strange to say, I don't know if Xiao Kai was scared, but after he got on the motorcycle again this time, he found that the road in front of him looked much clearer, and everything was seen clearly.

"Big brother, where are you going?" asked Xiao Kai cautiously.

"Stop wherever you are!" the other party replied simply, and fell silent again.

Xiao Kai thought to himself, does this guy want to know where his home is and make a long-term robbery plan?

"Big brother, I'm a little single, I'm alone at home, the house is a second-hand house bought with a loan, and I haven't paid it off yet, otherwise I will definitely invite you to have a cup of tea in the middle of the night."

"Why are you so annoying, hurry up and send you home so I can go on an errand, you hurry up, I can't help you when the red light goes out."

Xiao Kai didn't understand what this person meant when the red light went out, and he couldn't help himself, but at that moment, he felt that the other party didn't seem to have any ill will towards him, and he really wanted to help himself.

Xiao Kai decided to take a gamble, and soon carried the man to the gate of the community where he lived.

"Big brother, I'm home, do you want to go up and sit and have a cup of tea?" asked Xiao Kai timidly.

"Drink tea or wait for next time, remember to keep going upstairs, don't look back until you return to your house, otherwise I don't care if I'm scared, the lantern is about to go out, you should leave quickly."

Xiao Kai answered and hurriedly walked upstairs, but when he walked to the door of the unit, he suddenly thought of the man's words, at this time, something terrible will happen when he turns back, what will it be?

Thinking of this, Xiao Kai couldn't help but look back, only to see that the man picked up the red lantern and blew out the candles inside.

At the moment when the lantern went out, Xiao Kai saw that there was not even a ghost shadow quietly around the man, but now a large number of men, women and children suddenly appeared.

Although there are no lights to illuminate, the appearance of these people can be seen clearly, and their appearance is like a group of zombies!

The whole body was covered with wounds of various sizes, all of which were bleeding from the inside, and some of the flesh around the wounds had been severely decomposed.

In addition to wounds, some bodies have become incomplete, some stumps have not been lost and hung on their bodies, many of them are fatal injuries, so that those who can still walk cannot be alive!

Xiao Kaiwei screamed, and ran upstairs with a roll, he regretted that he didn't listen to the man, and secretly glanced back.

However, when Xiao Kai finally ran to the door of his house, he found that there was a red lantern hanging on the door of his house!

The fire in the lantern suddenly went out at the moment when Xiao Kai was in a trance, and a group of men, women, and children suddenly appeared in the silent corridor, and the man was the one who took the lead.

"I said I wouldn't let you turn back, but you won't listen, so let's join us together!"

"The ghost wants to be with you!" Xiao Kai shouted, and jumped out of the window of the corridor!

It is said that these ghosts do exist, they are all around us, and we can see them through some medium, or some unexpected accident.

But it's not a good thing to see them, and they're probably going to stay!
