Crunch –

The old wooden door was pushed open, the girl took off her coat and hung it on the hanger next to the door, the room was still dark, it was almost dusk, and it was winter, it got dark very quickly, even if the door was opened, there was not much light to give to this gloomy room.

Smack.

The girl pressed the switch of the light, and the room lit up instantly, Chang Ziming stood motionless behind the counter, and there was a yellowed book on the counter, he stood behind the counter like that, and there was no reaction to the girl's return.

What is different from before is that Chang Ziming now wears a pair of thin-rimmed gold-framed eyes, which looks more of a scholar's elegant temperament, but that expressionless cold face is completely different from this temperament.

"You should turn on the lights when you read a book. ”

The girl didn't intend to say much to him, and after closing the door, she walked towards the back room with the basket of vegetables.

"What to do with so much meat. ”

Chang Ziming didn't raise his eyes, but just said coldly.

"I do. ”

The girl was not polite, without the slightest pause, she went around the counter, and when she opened the door of the inner room and was about to walk in, Chang Ziming spoke again, this time, his tone changed a little, as if he had caught his own child and done something bad.

"You're missing an ancient coin. ”

"Well, I know. ”

"I guess, you gave the ancient money to that kid?"

The girl's hand on the doorknob slowly slid down, and she complained in her heart: Do you still have privacy?

Then she turned her head and looked at Chang Ziming's back and said.

"He was entangled, did you do it? ”

Chang Ziming straightened up, turned around, pushed his glasses, and looked as plain as water, unfazed, he smiled slightly, and nodded at the girl.

"Yes and no. ”

"What do you mean? ”

"It's true that he was entangled because he came to me, but he was entangled, in the final analysis, it was also his own problem, but I persuaded him, he insisted on ending that bad fate, and I was also helpless. ”

As he spoke, Chang Ziming shrugged his shoulders and sighed.

The girl was a little surprised, and she hurriedly asked.

“... Is he insisting? You mean, he can see it?"

Chang Ziming smiled and nodded, and the girl lowered her head, as if she was in deep thought.

"Lingxue, don't ask more, don't think too much, go cook, I'm hungry. ”

The girl known as Lingxue raised her head and looked at Chang Ziming, let out a cold snort in her nose, but she didn't say anything, and walked into the back room with the vegetable basket full of meat.

Chang Ziming didn't take this matter to heart at all, it was just an ancient coin, and he didn't feel distressed, not to mention, he knew in his heart that this ancient money would soon return to his side, and this level of trouble could not be resolved with a small ancient coin.

If it is difficult to be stunned, he may be able to earn some more money, thinking of this, Chang Ziming actually showed a weird smile, he walked to the shelf, looked at the strange bronze puppet, this is the strange bronze puppet that Chai Xu almost reached out to touch in the afternoon, he raised his hand, lightly tapped the puppet's forehead with his slender fingers, and muttered to himself.

"You think well, as long as you have some ability, you want to eat, not to mention that he is in trouble now, even if this kid can survive, it can't be your food. ”

Speaking of this, he recalled the appearance of the young policeman, Rao was such an eccentric person as him, and he also had a trace of interest in Chai Xu, which came from doubts.

“... Chai Xu, Chai ...... Alas, there are no coincidences in this world. ”

After saying that, he laughed self-deprecatingly, and after laughing, he returned to the counter again, flipped through his strange book, and just looked at it, Chang Ziming suddenly said to the back room behind him.

"After eating, I will give him another ancient coin. ”

There was no movement behind him, but Chang Zi knew that the girl's ears were sensitive, and he had heard this clearly.

————————— [dividing line]——————————

Chai Xu, who returned home, immediately started cooking, he remembered that Li Chuan said that he would come to see him in the evening, but the two did not make an appointment for a specific time, so he called Li Chuan, but the strange thing was that no one answered on the other end of the phone.

The room is not big, the lighting is not good, the wattage of the electric light overhead is also very low, the whole room looks very old, there is no extra furniture, the whole house has only one room, a kitchen, a very narrow bathroom.

Fortunately, Chai Xu has not been picky about his residence since he was a child, and it is already very satisfying for him to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, there is only a dark red sofa in the whole room, and a moldy wooden round table, and the wire bed in the corner is extremely cold.

The most strange thing for Chai Xu is that in the north corner of this room, there is a strange mirror, this mirror is a floor-to-ceiling mirror, stained with dust, when he came to salute this morning... I don't think I see this mirror.

Originally, there was no bed in this room, and the relatives went to the thrift market to pull such a wire bed back because of his uncle's affection, and in this room, Chai Xu had to pay 1000 rent every month.

"Ahem. ”

Just put the pocket on the table, and it stirred up a thick layer of ash, so frightened that Chai Xu hurriedly lifted the pocket again, this is his own dinner.

After cleaning the room briefly, he sat on the sofa, looking at this one-third of an acre, and sighed a little in his heart, can he only nest in this small C city in his life?

Patting his face, he cheered up, on the first day of work today, he thought it would be more leisurely, but unexpectedly, many unexpected things happened.

The first is Director Zhu's attitude towards himself, obviously someone named him to give Chai Xu small shoes, not to let him have a good time, and then the pawn shop, maybe because of the circle of life on weekdays, Chai Xu This is the first time he has seen a pawn shop for a living.

And the eccentric boss Chang Ziming and the unknown girl also made Chai Xu care very much, and Chang Ziming's cold eyes lingered in his heart like a dark cloud.

"Forget it, don't overthink it... Let's go cook first. ”

Since he couldn't get through to Li Chuan's phone, Chai Xu decided to cook the meal first and eat whatever he wanted, even if Li Chuan came later, they could go out for supper.

Paying attention, he got up and walked into the kitchen, but the moment he got up, his eyes... But it seems to catch a glimpse of something that shouldn't be there...

It was just a moment, but that sense of disobedience was deeply engraved in Chai Xu's mind, and he was very sure that the moment he stood up just now, he definitely saw something...

He looked around the room, but he didn't notice anything, and the sudden creepy feeling he had just felt was gone, and finally, his gaze stayed on the mirror.

Myself... Did you just catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of your eye...?

He walked to the mirror and looked carefully, when he cleaned it just now, the mirror had already been cleaned by itself, and although the dust on it had been wiped away, the mirror frame was still very worn... Wrong...

Chai Xu took a closer look at the border, the dark yellow border was covered with terrible scratches crookedly, and there were even dark red blood spots...

“... This, what... What the hell... It's better to make a phone call and ask a relative to move it out. ”

Just when Chai Xu straightened up and was about to take the phone, suddenly... Stunned...

His heart was beating faster, his throat was dry, the hairs on his entire back stood up, and just now, when his peripheral vision skimmed the mirror again, he found some kind of strange existence again, and this time, he captured what this strange existence was.

In the mirror, my figure stood there like this, nothing unusual, but terrifying... Behind him, in the place where he had just made the sofa, in the corner where his body was not blocked, a small red leather shoe was exposed, and this leather shoe only revealed part of the front section, but there was no doubt ... There was a man sitting behind him, on the couch... Look at yourself.

Chai Xu tried to keep himself shocked, silently thinking in his heart that this must be a thief or a robber, as long as he turned around to face him, it only took less than a second to subdue him...

But... But why didn't you dare to move at all... Ten seconds... Twenty seconds... Chai Xu stood in front of the mirror like this, staring at the little red leather shoes with his eyes, and finally, he understood what he was subconsciously aware...

The owner of these shoes... I've seen it myself...

Isn't this the little girl who disappeared... Are Fluttershy wearing shoes?

As soon as the mind came here, something more terrible happened, I saw the small red leather shoe that showed a small section from the lower left corner of his body, and suddenly... It moved, like a child playing with its feet crossed, and then immediately retracted.

Chai Xu couldn't hold back any longer, he gritted his teeth and turned back sharply!

The crimson sofa... There are only traces of the depression that I just sat on... There are no little girls at all.

“... It can't be, it can't be an illusion, it can't be an illusion..."

Chai Xu looked around, but he didn't find anything suspicious, of course he wouldn't find it... Behind me, in that mirror... is still facing him, that is to say, when he turned around just now, the self in the mirror did not move at all, and at this time, Chai Xu in the mirror had a gloomy expression and a vicious gaze.

He was like this, staring at Chai Xu deadly, and then... Slowly raised his hand... That hand, it actually passed through the mirror... Slowly approached Chai Xu's back.
