Chapter 1: The Ghost Press
"Huh・・・・・・ ha・・・・・・huh・・・・・・ ha・・・・・・"
Looking at the dimly lit bedroom in front of him, which seemed distorted and unreal, the young man lying on the bed gasped as hard as he could, trying to break the deathly silence with his breathing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's quiet, and the silence in the bedroom is terrifying, and you can't help but want to yell.
However, the body could not exert the slightest strength, and no matter how much the boy struggled, he could not control his throat and make normal sounds like he usually did, only the rapid and heavy breathing sound kept ringing in the silent and dim bedroom.
"Huh・・・・・・ ha・・・・・・"
The boy tried again, and with his unconscious or vague consciousness, he sent nerve signals to his entire body, hoping that his body would be able to move even slightly.
It's okay to just do it all at once.
However, apart from the indescribable fear in his mind, the boy's struggle did not play any role.
"Knock・・・・・・ knock・・・・・・ knock!"
Faster and louder voices echoed in his mind, as if the footsteps of a demon were approaching, shaking the boy's head and destroying the boy's will. An inexplicable sense of fear that he would fall into the bottomless abyss without struggling grew from the bottom of his heart, making the boy breathe harder.
"Huh・・・・・・ ha・・・・・・ huh・・・・・・"
In this way, he hopes to attract someone's attention, or to get his body back moving.
It's just that there is no one else here, and his body still can't move.
His half-open eyes looked at the closed door of the bedroom in horror, and in the blurred and distorted vision, the boy faintly noticed that something seemed to open the door quietly, even under the torture of endless fear.
Despite his confusion, the boy still remembers that he locked the door before going to bed.
And the key, only the one next to the boy's bed.
'Damn ・・・・・・'
At this moment when the boy was about to lose all consciousness, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, even the fear that almost swallowed up all his mind could not stop him from cursing desperately.
'Why is ・・・・・・ always like this?! ’
Watching a strange black figure enter through the crack in the open door and staggering towards him, the boy's breathing rate and fear almost climbed to the top.
"Huh・・・・・・ ha・・・・・・"
It was only then that the struggle, which had not been given up, finally paid off, and as had happened countless times before, the toes farthest from the brain began to be controlled, allowing the teenager to instinctively move his toes with all his might.
It's not that there is any pattern, just do your best to move, so that the feeling that you can regain control of your body 'all the way' down your toes, like ignited gasoline, quickly covering the whole body.
The process was really fast, as if it had been rehearsed countless times, and it took the boy less than a second to gain control of all parts of his body.
At this time, the black figure who couldn't see clearly, or even the outline, staggered to the side of the bed, and was about to stretch out his hands to the young man's head, but the young man was already able to move, how could he just give up resistance?
Instead of raising his hand to block it, or getting up to flee, the boy just took a deep breath, then opened his mouth wide and shouted with all his might, his eyes filled with fear.
"Ah!!!!!h
"Boom !!!!!"
Just after the boy shouted this almost hysterically, everything seemed to be a shattered illusion, quickly crumbling in a bang, blurred and distorted, like a combination of reality and dream. And the young man's brain also suddenly woke up at this moment, and the inexplicable sense of fear was expelled by this sober will, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Everything returned to normal in an instant, as if it had never happened.
Except for the heart of the teenager.
For no reason, the young man's heart was beating wildly at this moment, and this feeling of palpitations reawakened the fear in the young man's heart that had not completely faded.
But the boy knew that as long as he survived this period of time, he would be safe.
So the boy closed his eyes tightly and did not open his eyes for the first time, but tried to calm himself as much as possible and let his heart return to normal beating. Even if he was desperate to open his eyes immediately, to confirm that the black figure had really disappeared, to confirm that he was really safe.
"Knock T
I don't know how long it was, maybe a minute, or an hour?
None of this was important to the teenager, because by this time he had almost lost his concept of time, and he only knew one thing now, and that was that his heart had finally returned to its normal beating rate.
And this also means that now, he can finally open his eyes boldly with confidence.
So, the boy suddenly opened his eyes.
In his pitch-black pupils, which were almost constricted into a pin's eye, there was an eagerness to return to normal, and a suspicion that the current situation was normal.
But more than that, it's the fear of the experience just now.
If he could, the boy really hoped that that wouldn't happen again.
Although he himself knew that such an idea was just an unrealistic expectation.
"Hoo ・・・・・・"
Scanning the bright bedroom, the boy didn't notice anything unusual, knowing that he was safe, he couldn't help but let out a long breath of relief and tiredness.
Slowly propping himself up, the young man just shrunk back and leaned against the wall tiredly, despite the sweat all over his body.
Looking at the locked door again, the boy was sure that no stranger had entered his room.
Although just a few minutes ago, a black figure crept in without a sound.
Raising his head slightly, the young man's pupils, which had returned to normal size, looked at the white roof in confusion, and held his forehead with his right hand.
"Damn ・・・・・・"
The boy was not a cynic who liked to complain, but after two years of suffering from this horrific experience, he unwittingly developed this not very nice mantra.
The boy knew what had just happened.
It wasn't a paranormal event, but a special state of sleep known as the 'ghost press'.
In medical terms, the scientific explanation is that it is a condition called 'sleep paralysis'.
It causes people to experience hallucinations in a half-asleep state, accompanied by a sense of fear, which can last for several minutes.
At first, the teenager was very panicked and frightened, and went to the best hospital in the neighborhood to do the most comprehensive examination to see if there was something wrong with his brain. He even went to the so-called 'Half Immortal' and spent money to get a 'Soul Suppression Charm'.
The boy was not superstitious, but he was tormented by nightmares every night, and tried all the methods he could.
However, the doctor only said that the teenager was under too much mental pressure, and it would be good to pay attention to regular rest; As for the half-immortal・・・・・・ the spell was thrown away by the boy the next day.
Because the ghost press still appears every night, and it gets worse every time. Regular routines and charms don't work at all.
Just like that.
"Hoo ・・・・・・"
Exhaling a long breath again, the boy shook his head violently, trying to clear his head a little.
Coming here several times a day, the boy felt that his condition was getting worse and worse. Although I have been insisting on exercising, in terms of figure, I can envy others, but this does not prevent the ghost press bed from 'coming on time' every night.
While kneading his forehead with his hand, the boy got off the ground, put on his slippers and stood up.
Because he sweats profusely every time, and basically has to go through it two or three times a night, the teenager is too lazy to take a shower, just wipe his body with a wet towel, and then change the bed sheet and pillow towel.
For this reason, the teenager also bought more than a dozen sheets and pillows for washing.
Picking up the key on the bedside table, the boy walked to the door, inserted the key into the keyhole with a little suspicion, and opened the door with a "click".
The black figure would appear in the hallucinations of the 'ghost press bed' every time, so that the boy now always has an indescribable mentality about such things as opening the door.
They think it's just a hallucination, but they worry about whether they will actually find something behind the door.
"Damn ・・・・・・"
Shaking his head violently again, the boy gritted his teeth and pushed the door straight out of the way.
Looking to the right, the neat sofa, the clean floor tiles, the polished reflective dining table, and the eyes swept over the living room and kitchen, and the teenager did not find anything suspicious.
Looking at the kitchen window, the dark window is also very normal.
There really is nothing.
I thought too much and didn't have anything. ’
Thinking of this comforting self, the young man sighed, turned around slowly, and walked to the bathroom on the left.
Since the lights in all the rooms were left on all night, and the doors were open except for the door of the boy's bedroom, the boy could see the situation in the bedroom of his parents opposite. Although it is no longer inhabited, the boy still cleans it every day.
Casually glanced at it, and an unusual sign made the young man's heartstrings, which had just calmed down, suddenly tense.
'What's that?!' ’
The boy was sure that he had absolutely cleaned his parents' room during the day, and that there could be nothing on the floor.
But at first glance, the boy noticed that on the floor between the bed and the curtains, a black object was exposed, like the corner of some great black wooden object.
If I had to talk about the first impression, the boy only thought of one thing.
Coffin.
"Help Me ・・・・・・"
Before the boy could think about anything, a faint voice suddenly sounded in his head, making the hairs on the young man's back rise.
"Who?!"
The boy immediately clenched his fists and placed them in front of his chest, and his instantly narrowed black pupils stared at the black object that appeared to be a coffin.
And at this moment, the black thing suddenly trembled!
