The dream was very long, as if a stone was pressing on me, and I had no strength at all. At this moment, I became a cutting board meat to be slaughtered, and I could only watch as the bright kitchen knife fell from above and chopped me in half with a snap.

"E" hovered between trance and reality, but I did not completely lose my mind, relying on the instinct of being a Zhu Youshi, I held back all my strength and bit the tip of my tongue fiercely.

I woke up with a heart-to-heart ache as I was sweating profusely and lying on the bed, kicking and breathing.

Looking up, the room was still a house, and the silhouette in the darkness was not unusual. Turn on the lights, and the walls are still walls, crisscrossed with several gray cracks on the whitish lime walls.

Could it be that it was a dream just now? I patted my chest and twisted my head out the window.

Tonight's sky is much more gloomy than usual, a small cool breeze blows into the house, blowing people cold, gray drizzle, slightly humid air, there is a very **, with a little rancid smell.

There was a fear in my heart that I hadn't seen in a long time. When it came, it gently tapped my heart like a hammer, causing me to kick and breathe.

"Room 404 can't be occupied?" The childish face of the little girl, mixed with pleading, anxious and other emotional words came to my mind.

I began to think that this simple situation was not so simple, and when this thought flashed, another thought popped into my mind: "Oh no, Ah Hu lives in room 404." ”

I lifted the quilt, climbed off the bed, put on my slippers and went straight to the opposite side, the small yellow bulb in the corridor suddenly lit up, and the reflected shadow was on the floor, stretched long, and there seemed to be a person on the shadow, which was slightly weird.

A quick knock on the door resounded in the corridor on the fourth floor, and as I knocked on the door, I hurriedly shouted, "Ah Hu, Ah Hu."

Maintaining this posture for several minutes, there was no movement in 404, and Ah Hu did not respond.

I immediately felt that something was wrong, Ah Hu was a retired special soldier, and later followed the old man Hou to fight the country, so it was impossible to sleep so deeply.

I took out the key in my pocket, and the key was inserted into the hole, and when I twisted it hard, the lock seemed to be rusty, and it was difficult to twist, until I twisted it back and forth several times, and the lock was finally twisted to the top.

At this time, it was like someone was pushing the door behind me, and I pushed my right hand hard several times, and even slapped hard, but I couldn't push the door open.

When I tightened the lock and was about to turn sideways to enter, the door loosened without warning, and it could be gently pushed open with one finger.

The moment the door opened, there seemed to be a green shadow flashing in the room, like a vine of a plant, and a few green shadows passed quickly, but I found that this should be an illusion, the reflection of a large tree outside the house.

"Ah Hu, Ah Hu" I pushed Ah Hu twice on the bed, but Ah Hu didn't move.

I turned on the light, and when it came on, I was stunned.

I saw Ah Hu falling asleep reflexively, his hands were attached to the mattress like geckos, his back was a little bulging, and the shape of his hand support looked like a gecko, but the whole posture looked like a turtle.

On the table to the right of the bedside sat a yellowed ancient book, and I turned to the yellowed title page, which was read in the first chapter

"Though the ox has ears, it rests on its nose; Although the turtle has a nose, it rests on its ears. Whoever speaks of a turtle's breath, should speak in his ears, and the sleeper's breath comes out of his ears, and his body is like a turtle lying down, and he will breathe and adjust his heart, and he will nourish his spirit and prove his longevity. ”

"It turned out to be a turtle breath technique." I breathed a sigh of relief when my eyes swept over the yellowed title page. The Turtle Breath Technique is an immortal skill, similar to the sleeping palace of the Taoist Chen Zhuan Ancestor. The emphasis is on longevity, sleeping for an hour and topping three, and paying attention to health.

I said no wonder...... After driving for a day and a night, and teaching me marksmanship for a night, Ah Hu's spirit is still so full? It turned out that he didn't sleep, he just slept for one day and waited for others for three days. And in the process of sleeping, no one can wake up. So before Ah Hu went to bed, he deliberately explained to me: "I'll look for you when I wake up." ”

Looking at the funny sleeping position, I kind of wanted to laugh, helped him cover the quilt, and prepared to go back to the room. But after thinking about it, I was still a little relieved. So he turned back again, put the Wuming Demon Suppression Fan next to Ah Hu to protect it, then turned off the light and exited the house.

Standing in the hallway, I lit a cigarette, and kept thinking about a question in my mind: why did the little girl keep insisting that 404 can't live in people, and what secrets did 404 have? Is this secret enough to kill a person?

No, it shouldn't be! I threw the ridiculous idea out of my head, that if there was any secret in the room, it could kill someone. Then the little thug named Monkey wouldn't have made it out alive in this room.

I think it's time to talk to the little girl. Although she wouldn't necessarily tell me the truth, I couldn't stand the inhibitions, and the only place my mother could find a place to start was to pry the little girl's mouth open.

The cigarette butt bounced off the window, marking a spark, and I spat out the smoke and walked down the exit of the promenade. At the end of the corridor, at the top of the staircase, a small crackling sound suddenly sounded, and then the lights went out, and the corridor was dark.

I stomped my foot vigorously, and a yellow halo filled the hallway again, but it was only a hallway, and the light was very unstable, like an old chandelier hanging from a broken house, and as the chandelier swayed, the light went from dim to bright.

The sensor light on the staircase is broken, and staring down into the pitch darkness and looking back at the light-filled hallway is a stark contrast between heaven and hell.

I was startled at first, but later found out that this was the staircase mirror placed by the boss.

I am a little ashamed, since as a Zhu Youshi, I am not afraid of ghosts, so I should naturally have the psychological quality to walk calmly in the dark, however, facing the dark stairs, my heart is uneasy, like a high tide falling on the ground and the sea hitting my heart again and again.

I was about to reach the turning point of the stairs on the fourth floor, when I saw that an eagle was carved on the boxy staircase mirror, which said that Dapeng spread its wings, and the swaying firelight reflected a slowly approaching black shadow, the black shadow approached, and the human figure on the mirror was slightly distorted, as pale as paper.

The mirror seemed to have an indescribable magic, luring me closer, and when I walked to the turn of the stairs and slowly approached the mirror, two points of faint green light slowly appeared on the mirror...... It's a pair of wide-eyed eyes.

The flames were extinguished by the wind, and my heart twitched, and I took two steps back. Two calls came from the empty hallway...... "Meow, meow", and when I looked back, I saw a black kitten standing at the top of the staircase where I had just stood.

The two points of green light refracted by the mirror are its eyes...... How can there be cats here?

As this surprised thought crossed my mind, the black cat seemed to notice that I was looking at it, and jumped over and ran away without a trace.

And at this moment, in the silence of the night, suddenly there was a sound of "thump, thump", and this scene immediately appeared in my mind: snakes, crawling on human skin, or crawling on cold floors.

The sound was so weird, it felt 100% like a snake spitting out letters, and I was so frightened that I quickly took out a talisman, held it in one hand, and lit a lighter with the other. The staircase was still in its dilapidated appearance, and when I looked down at the lighter, there was no sign of a snake on the low staircase. At this time, I still did not give up, and shone the lighter at the wall.

On the walls, there were a few yellow stains on the dilapidated white walls, and cracked lime cracks, and around the mirror of the building where Dapeng spread its wings, a few green, like the roots of a tree, intertwined with each other.

I searched for a long time, but there was no snake, but I still didn't give up, and I took the lighter and turned it around a few times, and I stuck in this narrow staircase. But the lighter was hot several times, and the snake shadow was still not found in the stairs.

At this point, feeling a little stuffy, I went to the small window of the stairs and pushed it open. As soon as the small window opened, the wind came in from the outside, sweeping away the stuffiness of the whole person. And at this time, I couldn't help but laugh.

The eye looks through a few rusty window irons, a few big trees in the backyard, and the thick branches swaying in the wind, making boxes in the night. When I closed the window and put my ear to the window to listen carefully, I couldn't help but smile, this tired of the sound of the snake was actually the sound of the leaf swinging, but because of the glass barrier, the sound transmission trajectory changed, so I mistakenly thought that the snake was crawling.

I breathed a sigh of relief and laughed again at my fuss. After being frightened, my body and mood were in a very relaxed state.

At that moment, there was a movement in the darkness, and something touched my ass very quickly, and the ass popped, don't get me wrong, it wasn't a fart sound.

It's on fire......

I turned my head in horror to look into my back pocket, and the tiny sparks burned and faded into palm-sized flames.

"Ahh

After the fire was extinguished, I directly held on to the handrail of the stairs on the third and a half floors, and then the handrail jumped off the third floor, and the sensor light on the third floor turned on, and I couldn't sit down from the third floor without my head.

I didn't dare to look back during the whole process, and I was sure that the back pants pocket didn't catch fire for no reason, but something must have touched me.

Because in the back pocket of the fire, there was a talisman of Zhu Youjia, something must have collided with the yang energy on the talisman, and the talisman burned itself in order to protect the lord.

I stood in the lobby on the first floor, kicking and breathing, the service desk was empty, the brown sofa had a few geckos crawling, through the narrow window, the sky was showing the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the misty light shone into the hotel, which was like a half-gray and half-white world.

"Knock...... "Knock" bell rang suddenly, on the ancient wall clock, the short needle Hao Ran stayed at four o'clock in the morning, and the long needle was in four characters.

Unlike the wall clock, which only rings at 12 with a long hand, this ancient clock rings at 4:20...... That's four to four. <
