"Hello?" Surprised, I pressed the answer button.

"Gao Wei, are you sleeping?" Zhao Qiqi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Not yet, what's wrong?" I asked, groping my way to the stool in the doorway.

"I have something very important to tell you." Zhao Qiqi paused, and then spoke in a solemn tone.

As soon as I heard this, my expression immediately became serious.

"Well, I'll listen, let's talk!"

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before Zhao Qiqi continued to speak.

"In the taxi just now, I think you can feel that we didn't talk much, right?" Zhao Qiqi said.

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, and then showed a trace of doubt: "Yes, I was about to ask you why you didn't say a word!" ”

"Actually, it was because we were aware of something at that time, but it was inconvenient to tell you directly, so we chose to remain silent." Zhao Qiqi's voice was particularly clear in the middle of the night, making people feel an indescribable sense of tension.

My Adam's apple moved up and down: "What's the matter?" ”

"I told you, you have to keep your composure." Zhao Qiqi sighed: "Actually, when you were talking to the driver, I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when I inadvertently looked around, I suddenly found ...... The taxi driver had no legs. ”

As soon as Zhao Qiqi's words came out, I only felt a buzzing sound in my head.

"What...... What do you mean? Don't have legs? ”

Before I could turn on the light, the room was pitch black, only the fluorescent fluorescence of my mobile phone hit my face, and at this time, I only felt cold all over.

"It's literal, in other words, there's a good chance he's not human." Zhao Qiqi's voice was a little dry, and it seemed that her emotions had also been affected: "Actually, at that time, the driver's legs could only be seen clearly from the angle from which I was sitting, that is, I inadvertently looked over and found that his legs appeared and disappeared from time to time. Not only that, but you may not notice that the driver is not visible in the rearview mirror. I think Du Deming should have noticed this at that time...... As for Zhang Qiang, I don't know if he was aware of this problem. ”

I was stunned, and then I suddenly remembered that at that time, all my attention was observing the expressions of the three teammates behind me, and I didn't even react, as if the mirror did not reflect the driver's appearance.

Thinking of this, I subconsciously shuddered.

"You mean, I was in the car and talked to that thing for most of the day?" I tried to break the inexplicable atmosphere and laughed dryly.

Then, I couldn't laugh at all.

Strange, so weird.

It's obviously the real world, so why do these weird phenomena occur?

I can't figure it out.

Thinking about the bizarre encounters in the past few days, for a while, I didn't know what to say.

"So what should we do?" Eventually, I reluctantly spoke into my phone.

"Don't worry, put the two talismans that the old man and the old monk gave us close to you tonight, and then put the puppets at the head of the bed, and tomorrow I will call the others to inform them, and tomorrow at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, you will gather at my house...... Well, it's my cousin's apartment. Zhao Qiqi said.

"Okay, I got it." With that, I was about to hang up.

However, Zhao Qiqi's voice came again.

"Wait!!"

"What's wrong?" I put my phone close to my ear again.

"You...... If you hear a strange knock on the door tonight, don't open the door, just treat it as if nothing happened. Of course, this is just my guess. Zhao Qiqi thought for a moment and added.

"Okay, you have to be careful at night, too." I finished and hung up.

Seeing the darkness in the room, I couldn't help but shudder, and quickly reached out to touch the position of the light switch and turned on the light.

Bright incandescent light instantly filled the room.

However, it is becoming more and more deserted in the house.

I shook my head and stood up.

Don't want to!

Resting well is key.

With that in mind, I washed up quickly, then went into the bedroom and slipped into the covers.

The wind is inexplicably strong tonight.

Even when the doors and windows of each room were locked, a whining sound could be heard, as if some terrible creature was whining and whimpering.

The windows were rustling in the wind.

The demon wind scurried around, seemingly shuttling between countless buildings, and later, it made a sound like thunder.

I was disturbed by the wind, and in the end, I simply covered the quilt and didn't think about anything.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Maybe half an hour, maybe a few minutes, and I fell asleep.

Just when I was sleeping soundly.

Bang Bang~~

There was a sharp knock on the door.

I woke up from my dream.

Bang Bang Bang~~

There was another series of knocks on the door.

My consciousness was finally pulled back to reality.

Reaching for the lamp switch, the faint light came on.

However, it was not enough to illuminate the entire dark room.

I turned my head to look in the direction of the bedroom door.

The voice, which seemed to be coming from the location of the gate.

Who could it be at such a late hour?

I was puzzled, but suddenly remembered what Zhao Qiqi had said on the phone before.

Tonight, whatever you hear, don't pay attention.

remembered the driver that Zhao Qiqi talked about, the driver whose legs disappeared from time to time.

I can't help but feel my scalp tingle.

Holding the quilt tightly with one hand, and subconsciously holding down the two runes placed close to him with the other hand, his heart was a little comforted.

It's not so easy to fall asleep again.

I just kept my eyes open, staring straight at the ceiling, my body was tired, but my brain was unusually clear.

At the gate, every once in a while, there would be a strange knock on the door, but not a single neighbor came to complain.

At this time, I hope that the aunts and uncles who are doing good things will come over and meddle in their affairs.

But...... Not a single one.

I smiled self-deprecatingly.

I'm afraid only I can hear this voice, right?

It seems like I'm really being targeted by that unclean stuff.

Now I can only wait for dawn and then discuss with Zhao Qiqi and them what to do.

When drowsiness hit again, it was already past six o'clock in the morning.

My body couldn't bear the tiredness anymore, and I finally fell asleep again before I knew it.

At about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, I was woken up by the alarm clock.

I opened my tired eyes and turned off the annoying alarm.

He sat up with a blank look.

Such nights have finally passed.

At this moment, the stomach sounded out of place.

I sighed, it seemed like I hadn't eaten in a long time.

After ordering a casual takeout on my phone, I stood up, walked to the bathroom, and started to wash up.

About ten minutes later, the doorbell rang outside.

Somewhat surprised, I stopped what I was doing.

Is it takeaway?

How did you arrive so quickly today?
