Prologue The First Arrival Chapter 9 The Shadow

"Open the door, Xiao Chai, what's going on inside? Are you okay?"

The man who called himself Li Chuan outside the door was still knocking on the door, feeling the vibration of the door behind him, Chai Xu was about to lose the difference between reality and illusion, in fact, he couldn't call the things he saw just now an illusion.

Originally, he was very good in his psychology course at the police academy, and coupled with his confidence in himself, he was sure that what happened just now happened when he was extremely ideologically sober, and it could never be an illusion.

But the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became, and if it wasn't an illusion, what would it be...

“... You, what the hell are you!?"

Chai Xu shouted at the person outside the door.

"Xiao Chai, I know you've encountered something bad, and I've known that you've got dirty stuff since you said you brought back a little girl. ”

Li Chuan, who was outside the door, suddenly stopped knocking on the door, and said to Chai Xu inside the door in a very serious tone: "It's all because of that pawn shop, Xiao Chai, Zhu Yan's purpose for letting you go to that pawn shop is not simple, you open the door, I can explain it to you." ”

Chai Xu calmed down, Li Chuan outside the door spoke clearly, logically, and it didn't seem to sound like a problem, he thought again, wasn't that thing in his bathroom before, if it went to the bathroom now, he wouldn't be attacked on his back.

Die to die... When you open the door, you may be able to escape and get a chance of life.

Thinking like this, Chai Xu turned his heart sideways, turned around suddenly, opened the door, and the mobile phone in his hand was raised high by him, and was about to smash it down, Li Chuan outside the door hurriedly raised his hand to block it, and shouted by the way.

"Calm down, calm down! It's me!"

Chai Xu felt that his back was completely soaked with cold sweat, and fine beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead, but he also saw that the person outside the door was indeed Li Chuan.

“... Lee, Uncle Li! It's you... It's really you!"

Chai Xu was happier to see Li Chuan at this time than to see his own father, he really needed to see a normal person to alleviate the fear in his heart now.

Li Chuan patted him on the shoulder, nodded to him, and raised his right hand at the same time, Chai Xu realized that Li Chuan's right hand was holding a big plastic bag.

"Look at you like this, you haven't eaten yet, I'll slaughter some lo-mei for you. ”

Chai Xu was still in the mood to eat at this time, but Li Chuan was here, and he was a little bolder, and after welcoming Li Chuan into the house, he closed the door.

With one more person in the room, even the lights seemed to be brighter than before.

Li Chuan put the plastic bag on the table, and he found that there was a plastic bag on the table, so he asked, "Xiao Chai, did you buy vegetables?"

Chai Xu was still a little uneasy at this time, he looked left and right in the house, as if he suddenly remembered something, and immediately ran to the house, took out a bed of sheets for changing from the cabinet, and then ran back to the living room, and directly covered the sheets in the strange mirror.

Because everything is weird, it starts with this mirror, Chai Xu has already made a plan in his heart, he must ask his relatives to dispose of this mirror tomorrow, if he doesn't come, he will definitely throw him away, but tonight... That's all there is to it.

Li Chuan watched Chai Xu finish all this, sighed, he pulled out a chair, sat down, and said in a flat tone.

"Alright, don't be busy, it's not a mirror. ”

Listening to Li Chuan's words, Chai Xu was stunned for a moment, then rushed to Li Chuan's side, pressed Li Chuan's shoulder, and asked in a hurried tone: "... So, what's the matter, Uncle Li, you seem to know something this afternoon, you, you just said the pawn shop outside the door, what does this have to do with that pawn shop!?"

"Xiao Chai, you're not a local... So you may not be familiar with some of the things in this C city... This pawn shop in the old park, if you think about it, is located in the center of the reconstruction and demolition, why can't all the departments of this city combined?"

After Li Chuan mentioned this, Chai Xu suddenly felt that this matter was indeed a little strange, not to mention that you are a desolate old mansion, even if there is a high-rise building there, as long as you are zoned as a redevelopment area, then all departments will spare no effort to erase you from the map.

But why did Director Zhu feel so helpless about this old pawn shop, he hadn't thought of this layer before, but now that he thinks about it, it is really intriguing.

"Then why is this pawn shop still standing by this old park, and why are all the forces so gentle on its methods? ”

Li Chuan nodded, he opened the plastic bag and beckoned to Chai Xu.

"Okay, let's talk while eating, I haven't eaten yet, you go get two bowls, two cups, and I've got a bottle of white here." ”

As he spoke, Li Chuan took out another bottle of liquor from under his black down jacket.

Chai Xu is not strong enough to drink, but he doesn't want to sweep Li Chuan's happiness, others bring food for him from afar, and it doesn't hurt to drink a few glasses with him, besides, after what happened just now, he still has palpitations, and it is good to drink some wine and suppress the shock.

He took a bowl and a cup from the kitchen, and the two sat opposite each other, the bowl was full of fragrant lo-mei, and Chai Xu felt a hunger in his stomach at this time...

Just as he was about to eat first as a respect, the gate... Suddenly, there was a knock again.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

Every sound shook Chai Xu's heart and gall, and his hairs stood on end, and he cast a gaze towards Li Chuan for help.

Li Chuan was also a little puzzled, scratched his head, and he made a silent gesture towards Chai Xu, intending to let Chai Xu stay quiet first and see what else happened next.

Knock knock.

Knock knock knock!

The knock on the door became more and more urgent, Chai Xu's legs had already begun to swing, and the twisted monster he saw when he opened the door just now... At this time, he still remembered vividly, he really didn't want to face that fear again, if the other party was a living person, it would be okay to come to a hundred or a thousand, even if he couldn't beat it, he would never be afraid...

But this humanoid and inhuman monster... He can really arouse the deepest fear in Chai Xu's heart.

Soon... The knock on the door stopped abruptly.

Chai Xu and Li Chuan both breathed a sigh of relief... Just when they thought it was all going to pass, suddenly... The sound of a key inserting into the lock hole rang out from the door.

“... Oh my god..."

Li Chuan is desperate, this thing... Also pick locks...

But it was too late to stop it, the door lock clicked open, the doorknob was turned, and the next second, the door was pushed open...

Li Chuan was desperate and ready to meet the appearance of the monster again, but he felt guilty in his heart, and he was really unwilling to take Uncle Li's life, so he yelled at Li Chuan.

"Uncle Li!I'll block him!!You run!!Hurry... Huh?"

Just when he was about to sacrifice his life to save people, the person who appeared outside the door made him freeze...

After the door was pushed open, the one standing in the doorway... And it is... Li Chuan?

"Eh, stinky boy, you're at home, you won't open the door for me at home, I thought you hadn't gone home yet. ”

Li Chuan: This... It's Li Chuan!?

That, that... Who was that before that... Chai Xu was blinded...

No... Oh no, wait... I seem to have forgotten a very, very important thing... the groove.. the... I rub!!

He suddenly remembered that the original owner of this house, that is, the relative, was still on a business trip, so he entrusted the key to his uncle's friend, that is, Li Chuan!

And the relatives also said in the note they left... There is also a spare key, because I am afraid of accidents, so I handed it over to Li Chuan for safekeeping... This wire bed was also brought back by Li Chuan when he went to the thrift market...

When he went to work this morning, Li Chuan had already informed himself... Such an important thing... I actually forgot...

That means that... Li Chuan wants to enter his own house... Base... Not at all... Open the door yourself... That... Until then...

Chai Xu put his head... Stiffly turned back and looked at the ... That Li Chuan...

He suddenly found that Li Chuan, who was opposite him, suddenly laughed strangely, black blood began to gush out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth, the smell of blood came to his nose, and a rustling sound also came from the bowl in his hand.

Looking down, Chai Xu screamed in fright.

The originally delicate pickled vegetables have now turned into fat and disgusting giant maggots, and they are fluttering and writhing in Chai Xu's bowl, so frightened that Chai Xu throws away the bowl fiercely.

Smack.

At this moment, the lights in the room went dark, and Li Chuan, who was standing at the gate, also let out an exclamation.

"Xiao Chai!!Xiao Chai!!"

The door of the house was slammed shut, and a few seconds ago, Chai Xu could still hear Li Chuan slamming the door, but in the third second... The whole world seems to be plunged into darkness...

The window was also covered with a black veil, completely pitch black...

Chai Xu held his breath and shrank under the table as fast as he could, he picked up a chopstick as a self-defense weapon, so strange...

It stands to reason that my eyesight is excellent, and it only takes a few seconds to adapt to the darkness, but now... Ten seconds... Twenty seconds... Thirty seconds...

Half a minute passed... Why can't I see anything clearly...

He fumbled in his pocket, trying to find something that could be illuminated, but the phone was thrown to the ground by himself in the commotion just now, and now it is extremely difficult to find it.

Fortunately, he found a two-yuan lighter, which was the one that Li Chuan threw to him before.

With light, maybe the heart can be better, I originally thought so... But Chai Xu did the one thing he regretted the most in his life...

Smack.

He lit the lighter... What appeared in front of him was a grieving, miserable white woman's face, her eyes were pitch black, and her face was covered with blood...

"Ahh!!!h

Chai Xu shouted, but he didn't expect that the woman actually opened her mouth and screamed!!

"Ahh!!h

And her voice was harsher and sharper, and her mouth grew bigger and bigger!

That mouth, as if he was going to eat Chai Xu's head... Getting closer and closer to him... Getting closer...
