curious

Like a cat,

Sometimes it's hidden in the dark,

Sometimes it lies in the sun.

And I,

Follow it,

Into the darkness,

also into the light ......

……

Chen Yan didn't know that although he had rejected the temptation of the man's money.

But at that time, he also fell into another trap.

Since that incident, Chen Yan has been unable to ignore the locked room.

What will be inside?

A cat?

A woman?

Or, nothing?

Chen Yan paused abruptly as he walked through the door.

It wasn't for her to stop.

Only, suddenly stopped.

"Chen Yan, what are you doing standing there?"

The employer's voice sounded, and Chen Yan was taken aback.

"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."

Chen Yan walked away, and the things in the room seemed to snicker triumphantly.

Today, the man in the hat is still here.

It's just that his spirit is very poor, and he may not have slept all night.

When playing mahjong, I even made a mistake several times.

For a whole day, the man didn't say a single superfluous word, and seemed to have become the taciturn he used to be.

Or maybe he felt that he would lose too many words, so he deliberately didn't speak.

When the cards were gone, the employer took his key and opened the door.

He would go in once in a while.

Maybe it's because I'm afraid that something inside has been stolen.

Chen Yan saw clearly, the key was copper yellow, and it hung separately on a silver keychain.

When the employer went in, he put the key in his jacket and pocket.

No one is going to put the keys in that pocket.

That pocket, against your own heart. The things in it are usually very important.

Chen Yan didn't know why she went to see this, but she just watched it.

……

If you want to do something.

And, from the heart.

Well, one day, you will succeed.

Chen Yan finally waited for an opportunity, and when his employer left one day, he left the coat at home. And the keys are still in that pocket.

Chen Yan swore that he only looked at it, and it was not for the man's 100,000 yuan.

People die for money, especially when someone gives you a lot of money and then just asks you to do something so simple that it can't be simpler, then you should pay attention.

Chen Yan opened the door.

There was a faint smell of sandalwood in the room, mixed with a hint of fish.

Chen Yan could see that on the ground in the middle of the house, three half-burned incense sticks were inserted.

A white porcelain bowl is placed in front of the incense.

What's inside the bowl?

Now that the doors have been opened, and the employer is not at home.

Chen Yan still decided to go in and take a good look.

When Chen Yan was about to go in, he found that under his feet, there was a crooked dark red line, which directly formed a crooked rectangle along the wall of the room.

The fishy smell comes from the lines.

Chen Yan stepped in, and in the white porcelain bowl, there was a small half bowl with a pale yellow liquid.

It looks more like an oil ......

"Bang ......"

I don't know if it was the wind or what's wrong, but the door to the room suddenly closed.

The room was plunged into total darkness.

Chen Yan's courage is relatively large, although he is a little afraid.

But this did not deter the cool.

"In a normal room, there should be a light switch at the entrance." Chen Yan thought secretly in his heart.

Chen Yan followed the wall and felt the switch at the door.

"Smack......

The lights are on......

It's daytime, but the door is closed, and since there will be no light at all.

Is this house windowless?

Chen Yan looked at the two side walls of the room, and the windows were still there, but they were nailed up with wooden boards.

So there will be no light coming in through the window......

There was nothing else in the room except for these things.

It's empty, as if it's just that incense to be sacrificed to a god.

Chen Yan was about to open the door and go out.

A voice rang out.

"Sister......

It was a little boy's voice, not loud, and there seemed to be a hint of fear.

Hearing the voice, Chen Yan glanced around the room again.

Three half-burned incense, white porcelain bowls.

and the crooked red line, the fishy smell emitted by the red line made Chen feel a little familiar.

However, she hadn't figured out what it was like for a while.

didn't see anyone, and Chen Yan felt a chill in his heart.

"You are?"

Chen Yan asked in a low voice.

"Sister...... Are you a bad person......?"

The little boy's voice sounded, it seemed to be very close to Chen Yan, to be precise, the voice came from directly below her.

Chen Yan took two steps back, trying to keep a little distance from the voice.

"Not ......"

After Chen Yan finished speaking, a little child slowly appeared.

The child is wearing a red kimono and looks very honest.

I think I'm about four or five years old.

Although the child looks cute, the way it appears still makes Chen Yan a little scared.

Add to this the strange smell of sandalwood and fishy smell mixed in this room......

Chen Yan opened the door decisively and fled......

……

"Chen Yan, I'm back."

When Chen Beibei came back, he went to Chen Yan's room to say hello to her.

Chen Yan, who was thinking about the day's affairs, was shaken in fright by Chen Beibei's sudden sound, and knocked over the water cup on the bedside table.

"Chen Yan, are you okay?"

"I ...... I'm fine......"

The things of the day are still too weird for Chen Yan.

At this time, she had a little bit of a fantasy about that child, because she was influenced by that man.

After all, since the man said that he would give Chen Yan 100,000 yuan and let her go to that room to have a look.

Chen Yan didn't consciously think about what was in that room.

And she can feel that her mental state is not so good.

"If it's okay, go to bed early. Chen Yan, I feel that you are a little strange these days. ”

After Chen Beibei finished speaking, he planned to go back to his room.

"That...... Can you let Firefly come and accompany me? ”

Chen Yan looked at Chen Beibei and said softly.

"Well, okay."

Chen Beibei let Firefly go to Chen Yan's room, and he went to bed and slept with the three-tailed fox.

The fur of the three-tailed fox is still so smooth and supple to the touch.

The body still exudes a faint warmth.

On a rainy day, when the temperature drops, it can still give Chen Beibei a trace of warmth.

In the dark night outside the window, Kaoru, who had disappeared for days, returned to the branch.

From time to time, a few "coo-coo" sounds are made in the mouth.

Drops of water on the eaves, a ...... Falling to a puddle on the ground.

It has a very peaceful feeling.
