Chapter 356: The Gambler (2)

After dinner, I turned on the TV, intending to relax. The phone rang www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, and I picked up the microphone casually, it was Aunt Rong, who said that she had made some delicious food and asked me to come and get it. Of course I was willing, put down the microphone, said hello to Bai Xuanzhi who was washing dishes, and hurried downstairs. Lin Yao's new home is just two alleys away from here, not too far, about ten minutes to walk to arrive. What's more, just after eating, it should be regarded as a walk.

Bai Xuanzhi walked out of the kitchen, ran to the balcony, and called me: "Xiaoqing, be careful." I tilted my head and smiled at him, "Don't worry, it's been okay lately." Before he could speak, I swiped out the gate of the community. In the past year, I really haven't seen any ghosts, although I think it's incredible, and I don't pay much attention to it. But why did Bai Xuanzhi show such a worried expression? I thought too much! I smiled self-deprecatingly and walked towards Lin Yao's new house.

When I arrived at Lin Yao's house, Aunt Rong opened the door, and as soon as she saw me, she pulled me into the house with great affection, and talked a lot with me, and before I knew it, two hours had passed, and the sky had completely darkened. I looked at the wall clock and screamed no, it was already past nine o'clock. Aunt Rong also glanced at the clock at this time, and saw that the time was not early, and told me to be careful on the way home. Carrying a heavy leaf cake, he walked slowly along the path where he came. Somehow tonight, there wasn't a single pedestrian on the road.

Walking on a remote path, it feels desolate. Maybe after the college entrance examination, everyone went to the party. Originally, we also had a graduation party, but most of the people had programs, and they couldn't get together the number of people, so the graduation party was gone, and there was no follow-up. I smiled wryly, maybe my mood has become lighter, and people are prone to cranky thoughts. "Well, it's okay, it's coming soon. "I gave myself the courage to talk as I walked. Even so, what's going on with that agitation in my heart? I always feel a sense of foreboding, I haven't seen this feeling for a long time, what's going on tonight? I shook my head, I don't know why.

When I passed by the Taiping intersection, I suddenly stopped. Turning his head to look at the black alley, the darkness covers this alley, and the darkness that cannot be seen can always inexplicably touch the most primitive fear in the bottom of people's hearts. Just staring at it for a while, I felt a dull pain in my eyes. I rubbed my eyes, closed them, and opened them again. The wind gently blew through my hair, and I heard the rustling of leaves in my ears, it was a big tree on the side of the road.

I scanned my eyes everywhere, but I didn't see anyone. I turned around and was about to take a step, but there was a clear cry in my ears as someone whimpered, and it was desolate, and I smelled tears. At this time, I regretted why I had been walking slowly on the night road by myself, and if I had quickened my pace, I might have arrived home by now.

I was screaming inwardly, and my heart was beating faster. I felt that the nerves in my whole body were about to collapse, and at this moment, the fear that had been dormant for a long time was slowly waking up, and many dusty memories of the past were flooding into my mind, and a voice was always saying to me in my head: Run! But my feet did not obey the call, as if frozen by the ice and snow, I could not even make a sound.

It's all too familiar, and it's a familiar scene. My body was heavy as if I had been weighed down by lead, and I struggled to no avail, so I could only hold my breath and look at this remote and desolate uninhabited path.

The temperature around me dropped rapidly, and I felt a chill in the sweaty summer heat. At this moment, it was as if the nightmare I had had before had suddenly replayed itself, and it kept replaying before my eyes, once, twice, three times...... How many times have I even forgotten if it were a nightmare. I bit my lip and felt a pang of trepidation. I was in such a terrible pain that the invisible force of gravity weighed down on me, and I couldn't see what was pressing down on me. For a moment, I felt as if suffocating death beckoned to me.

My head unconsciously turned to the black junction and stared fixedly, not knowing who was controlling my movements. The alley, like a giant's open mouth, with its unseen fangs waiting for its prey to come forward automatically, and this prey is none other than myself. My heavy, stiff feet were moving forward little by little.

I don't know what my expression was at this point, but it should have been white-faced, perhaps more serious. I can't imagine what awaits me in the dark, whether it's an unjust ghost, or a cannibalistic yaksha, or a demon that gouges out people's hearts and devours them. I could clearly feel my heart bursting out. I held my breath in despair, thinking that out of sight was clean, and even if my skin was brutally torn apart by them, I would not be so afraid.

Suddenly, a hand was on my shoulder, I screamed in fright, and when I looked back, it was Bai Xuanzhi, who didn't say anything, just helped me carry the heavy bag of leaf cakes and pulled me out of the dark intersection. After walking dozens of steps, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, it's inconvenient to talk here, let's talk about it when we go back. Bai Xuanzhi's resolute expression made me feel very reliable, and I nodded, followed him, and returned home.

As soon as I got home, I rushed into the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and drank it all. That feeling just now was terrifying. I refilled a glass of water and drank it all again, and then I settled down. Bai Xuanzhi put the bag of leaf cakes in the refrigerator, walked up to me, handed me a towel, and asked me to wipe my sweat. Only then did I realize that my forehead and even my body were drenched with sweat. It seems that I was scared a lot this time. Maybe a year was too quiet, and I wasn't used to it. Bai Xuanzhi helped me to the living room and sat down. He put away his towel and worked for a while before he sat down next to me.

"What's going on?" Bai Xuanzhi asked kindly.

I looked at him, swallowed, put my hands on my chest, my heart sped up again, and after a few more minutes, I gradually calmed down, "I seem to see those things!" I thought about it, and finally told the truth.

"Sure enough, the seal I placed on you has been lifted. Bai Xuanzhi suddenly burst out with a sentence, I was shocked, I didn't react immediately, and after a few seconds of stunned, I realized something, no wonder I have been so quiet this year, it turned out to be his credit.

"What seal?" I asked, looking at him for a moment. My heart tensed up for a moment, and I didn't know if it was because of his words or because I remembered what I had just experienced.
