3. Vigil Horror

"Wake up, what time is it! It's getting more and more unpleasant, and I'm getting lazy and lazy. I don't want to go to work!" An angry roar woke Gu Yi from his deep sleep.

Why? Everything was a dream?

And what about later?

Gu Yi was not very reconciled, pulled the quilt over his head suddenly, let himself nest in the quilt, and silently told himself in his heart, don't wake up first, don't wake up first.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop the rapid dissolution of the remnant dream. Reason has been restored. The mother's wake-up roar made Gu Yi's lingering emotions that had not yet dissipated become lost.

It was the first time for Gu Yi to have a spring dream of love between men and women, especially the woman in the dream, full of love and tenderness. Gu Yi seemed to still be able to feel the texture of the elastic flesh pressing on his chest.

Downstairs in Gu Yi's house, there is also a girl next door, named Tong Ya, who is also a child of the factory, two times lower than Gu Yi. She is very interesting to Gu Yi, and she always runs to Gu Yi's house when she has nothing to do. Once, she secretly took the watermelon she had just bought to Gu Yi's house to eat, saying that it was given by her mother. As a result, her mother was looking for the watermelon everywhere at home.

Later, her mother didn't know where she heard the news, so she didn't let them have a relationship. I heard that Gu Yi's family is poor and his status is low. made Gu Yi depressed for several days.

Originally, Gu Yi didn't mean that to that Tong Ya, but her mother actually thought that his family was poor and had a low status, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Tong Ya's father is not the director of a workshop in the factory, and he actually thinks that the status of the two families is not equal, as for it.

Gu Yi just poked his head out of the bed and found his mother standing next to the bed, ready to lift the quilt and pull him out of bed.

"Got it! get up!" Gu Yi was naturally not angry with his mother's number.

Hurriedly put on his clothes and wiped his face, Gu Yi was about to go out in a hurry, but he was stopped by his mother and stuffed two eggs in his pocket.

In the morning, the small courtyard of the substation.

As soon as Gu Yi approached the small courtyard of the substation, he saw Zhang Deaf talking to Director Su.

When Gu Yi approached, he was stopped by Director Su, and the servants walked into the duty room downstairs together.

Gu Yi only found out at this time that Zhang Deaf was holding his stomach with a strange face, saying that it was a stomachache. Director Su also made a long story short, and asked Gu Yi to be on a night shift for Master Zhang tonight.

It is said that Gu Yi is still a newcomer and a temporary worker. According to the regulations of the substation, they are not eligible to work the night shift at the moment. But since Director Su said so, Gu Yi couldn't say anything.

Director Su saw that Gu Yi agreed, so he asked Master Zhang to explain the work of the duty room to Gu Yi.

Zhang Deaf took Gu Yi to each house to explain the precautions for night duty, as well as the location and operation methods of each electrical appliance, as if he was preparing for a long-term handover.

At this time, Zhang Deaf's stomach didn't hurt anymore. After the explanation, Zhang Deaf suddenly hesitated again, and said to Gu Yi in a low voice: "Xiao Gu, if there is anything not very good at night, you can call the security office." The phone number is just under the glass pane of the table. โ€

Gu Yi didn't pay attention to Zhang Deaf's words, but just said "oh".

Seeing that Gu Yi didn't take it seriously, Zhang Deaf hesitated again and said, "Wellโ€”โ€”, don't worry, be bolder." You are young and masculine. It's okay. โ€

Gu Yi didn't understand why he was so wordy on night shift, and it was not the first time that this substation was on night shift. But the master's explanation was also kind, so he pretended to be serious and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen." โ€

"Then, you should go home and rest during the day, and you don't have to go to work, and then come back to duty at night, maybe you will have to be on duty for a few more days. Zhang Deaf saw that Gu Yi was very refreshing, so he had to add inch by inch. Then, without waiting for Gu Yi to reply, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

The practice of night shift in the substation is to be on duty at night and rest during the day. There is also extra overtime pay for night shifts, and Gu Yi thinks it's quite cost-effective. It's just that he has only been working for more than a year, and if it weren't for Director Su's consent, he wouldn't be worth it.

After all, the substation is a dangerous department with high voltage and strong electricity, and it is easy to be dangerous if the business is not proficient, which is a major matter of human life, so the work system stipulates that people who must work for more than three years can be on night duty independently.

However, Director Su asked Gu Yi to work the night shift independently, and of course Gu Yi had to obey.

That night, it was still overcast and a little windy.

Gu Yi carefully inspected the equipment in the substation and the rooms in the small building.

This two-story building in the small courtyard is actually part of the fence on the side of the hillside, because it is a slope, there is a back door in the middle of the corridor on the second floor of the small building, and a flat bridge five or six meters long is built at the door, which can go straight to the hillside ground. There's a high-powered light there.

In front of the courtyard is the work area, with two rows of transformers, fall insurance and other outdoor equipment, and outside the gate, there is a road leading directly to the factory, and street lights reflect the road in two straight lines.

There are three workshops downstairs, and the equipment switches are all located in the power distribution room on the first floor, and the other is the utility room. The duty room is the equipment inside and outside the nursing building, which is located on the first floor.

There are daily necessities such as beds, tables and chairs, and TVs in the duty room.

For security reasons, the duty room is the only access to the two rooms. In other words, if you want to enter and exit the distribution room or utility room, you must go through the duty room.

The night, gloomy and gloomy.

The substation stands halfway up the hill like an isolated castle, and it's also a bit like a lighthouse. Because it was all open and dark, only there was a bright light.

Gu Yi came to the duty room. It was the first time he had slept outside alone as an adult. Usually at home, although he has his own room, he is always accompanied by his family. However, as a man, he took the night shift as a matter of course.

What made Gu Yi a little puzzled was Zhang Deaf's ambiguous and eccentric attitude, as if he was afraid of the night shift.

Gu Yi watched TV for a while, then went to bed to play mobile games, and played until nearly twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, feeling some eye pain, then got up and went to the rooms to inspect the circle, then washed and went to bed.

As soon as Gu Yi turned off the light, he heard a sharp creaking sound coming from inside the utility room.

The sound was a bit like something scratching an iron object, the nails were hard and sharp, and the sound was very harsh, and in the dead of night, the sound was very piercing.

In the middle of the night, what's it?

Gu Yi was startled, hurriedly jumped off the bed, and sat there to listen carefully for a while.

Gu Yi saw that there was no sound, so he lay down on the bed again. But not long after he lay down, there was a sharp sound of "creaking" from the utility room.

"Rat, haunted?"

Supposedly, rats don't gnaw iron, and they don't make such a sharp sound. If it is said to be haunted, although it is said that Gu Yi has never been superstitious, Gu Yi remembered the old woman he had seen in the tree hole after all, and he was a little stunned.

What happened in the grave area, Gu Yi actually didn't understand it too much. Because Gu Yi was not superstitious and was young and strong, he was not afraid at that time. However, when I returned home and calmed down, I always felt that something was wrong, and I felt weird.

First of all, Director Su's attitude, obviously he asked him to check the line, and when Gu Yi was almost electrocuted, this Director Su actually said that he was not assigned by him, and in the morning in the substation, he didn't mention it; Gu Yi was also embarrassed to ask Director Su or Zhang Deaf at that time.

And then there's the old woman. It could have been that she saved him. Gu Yi has no memory of how he got to the tree hole now. Can this old woman carry a young man like him?

The point is, if Gu Yi was exposed to high-voltage electricity, then why didn't he die or be injured?

Gu Yi slept comfortably in the tree hollow, and had a dream.

Also, it was Gu Yi at the entrance of the tree cave that vaguely saw a woman in red flashing by. Who is that? Is there really such a person, or is it a phantom? Gu Yi was not sure.

Gu Yi didn't dare to tell anyone about this when he came back, for fear that his parents would follow. What's more, he can't say clearly. You can't tell anyone that you've seen a ghost. Director Su has pushed it all out, he can make it clear.

Gu Yi got out of bed, came to the utility room, and searched carefully.

This utility room is really messy, and all kinds of miscellaneous items are piled up to occupy three walls.

He wanted to wait for the sound to sound again, so he could know where the sound was coming from, what it was coming from.

However, that thing seemed to have eyes, and Gu Yi stood there and waited for a long time, but there was no movement.

Gu Yi had no choice but to go back to bed.

However, as soon as he lay down, there was another "creaking" sound in the utility room.

Gu Yi got up several times, and the thing seemed to be playing hide and seek with him. As soon as he gets up, it doesn't make a sound, and when he lies down, it doesn't stop ringing.

Gu Yi was a little sleepy, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore, what kind of thing did it matter.

Gu Yi could ignore the creaking sound, but then, as soon as he slept, there would be a small and strange voice outside the building: "Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak."

At the same time, you can faintly hear the mourning music of the dead and the sound of knocking on wooden fish.

What is that? Gu Yi felt a little tingling in his scalp.

He put on his clothes and opened the door to look outside.

It's dark outside, and it's windy.

Because the lights at the gate were too bright, Gu Yi couldn't see what was outside.

After getting used to it for a while, Gu Yi slowly saw a small bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, where there were a few farmhouses with a few candles flashing. Gu Yi had been there to play before, and he had stolen the corn grown by others.

Maybe it's the farmer who is doing the funeral, because that's where the mourning comes from.

Gu Yi retracted his gaze and was about to turn around and return to the house, when suddenly he saw a figure in a trance, flashed from the gate of the small courtyard, poked his head again, and quickly shrank back.

There seems to be a person.

Because the position of Gu Yi Station was too bright, I didn't see it clearly.

So, he walked quickly to the outer gate of the small courtyard, opened the door and looked outside.

It was empty, and only the road leading to the factory could be seen, which was brightly lit.

What is it? I didn't see it clearly.

Gu Yi felt that this night, the duty room was indeed a little strange.

It was only at this time that Gu Yi understood why Zhang Deaf was unwilling to work the night shift. If this is a night, he is so timid that he really can't sleep well.

Gu Yi didn't care about all this, he ignored it and fell asleep.

At dawn the next day, Gu Yi got up early.

He first checked the utility room, and then ran to the courtyard of the substation to check around, and everything was as before.

Zhang Deaf was the first to come to work in the morning, it seems that his stomach doesn't hurt anymore, or he is a little worried about Gu Yi.

Last night, he probably must have encountered the same scene as Gu Yi this night.

He quietly walked to Gu Yi's side and asked in a low voice, "Hey, did you sleep well last night?"

"I slept well. Gu Yi replied.

"There's no movement?"

"Yes, in the middle of the night, I heard mournful music outside, as if someone had been shouting Brother Long!"

As soon as Zhang Long heard Gu Yi say this, his face turned white as soon as he "brushed", and his body took a step back suddenly. Frightened, Gu Yi hurriedly apologized and said, "Oh, I'm sorry! Master Zhang, I'll tease you." How can I be? It's just a little noise in the utility room, but I don't care about it. I sleep on mine and it rings it!"

Gu Yi's attitude obviously disappointed Zhang Deaf. He was really taken aback by Gu Yi just now. Because, in his heart, he really believed in this thing. Originally, he also wanted to see Gu Yi's appearance in order to make up for the loss of that bet, at least, he could prove that timidity is a normal phenomenon for everyone.

But seeing Gu Yi's indifferent look on his face, he felt that he had to work harder and yin him.

So, he stepped forward and whispered while gesturing: "Hey, do you know what this courtyard was doing here?"

"So where do you know? โ€

Gu Yi deliberately put on a look of indifference. He knew that he couldn't ask, and the more he asked Zhang Deaf, the more he sold Guanzi. He didn't ask, but he spoke a little faster.

Sure enough, Zhang Deaf just wanted to scare him. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "This place, this hillside, used to be all cemeteries. It is also the oldest cemetery in the city, and it is said to be hundreds of years old. โ€

"Oh. So what?" said Gu Yi.

"In this cemetery, when we built the factory, we issued an announcement to let the grave owner move out. But this cemetery has been around for too long, and most of them are ownerless graves, and no one has moved them. Later, the factory was forced to flatten. In other words, this hillside is inconspicuous now, in fact, there are people buried underneath!"

Gu Yi blinked his eyes and looked at Zhang Deaf: "No wonder you all don't want to work the night shift, are you afraid of being haunted?"

"You're not afraid?"

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid I won't see ghosts. It's so lonely to be alone. โ€

"That's good, my night shift, you'll be on duty in the future. Zhang Deaf actually just wants to wait for Gu Yi to be strong so that he can get out of this ghost day, and Gu Yi still wants to work the night shift and continue this very cost-effective thing.

During the night shift the next day, Gu Yi came early in the morning at dawn. He was trying to figure out what the noise was from the previous night.

Not bad, he searched carefully several times, and finally found a large unicorn fairy in an iron cylinder in the utility room.

The "creaking" sound last night should have been brought by this unicorn. It tried to climb out of the iron cylinder, but after climbing for a few nights, it just couldn't get up.

When Gu Yi caught the unicorn, it was still alive. Gu Yi released it, he naturally likes small animals.

The sound of "squeak, squeak", Gu Yi also carefully observed the outside, it should be those wires blown out by the wind.

Because it was windy last night and noisy outside, people can't hear this voice clearly when they are awake. But when the mind is quiet, or when the person is half-awake and half-asleep, that sound is amplified. It's a masking effect.

Gu Yi finally figured out the source of the voice, and his heart brightened up a lot, so he worked the night shift for Zhang Deaf for the next few days.

Here, however, the pen turns.

Just when Gu Yi was on the sixth night shift for Zhang Deaf, that is, the last night shift, something went wrong, something went wrong!

was so frightened that Gu Yi didn't dare to breathe.

He was really scared, he had never been so nervous.

Because, this time, it was not the utility room, but the power distribution room, and there was a sound, and it was definitely a human voice, a woman's voice.

It was a soft, dry cough from a woman.

The voice was not loud, but it made Gu Yi nervous into a cold sweat.

There was a lot of electricity in that switchroom, and there was no way there was anyone hiding there. He checked before bed, no one. What's more, the only passage in this room is in the duty room, and it is impossible to hide people inside.

But facts speak louder than words. There's someone in the house, and it's worth it!
