Chapter 250: A New World (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Recommended Tickets and Monthly Tickets)
At half past ten in the morning, Su Yuan got up slowly, washed up, and had breakfast. Then turn on the TV and watch today's news.
As always, it's all trivial. No mysterious plane crashes, no terrorist attacks, no hauntings, no dimensional invasions.
Su Yuan turned off the TV and sighed helplessly. It seems that no matter what country you are in, the lower classes of people can't see the truth.
Pushed open the door and walked out of the house. Outside is a small yard that feels a bit in disrepair. Su Yuan picked up some tools and began to trim the pruning scissors on the yard. From time to time, some people passed by and looked at Su Yuan in the courtyard with a strange look.
However, Su Yuan didn't pay attention to it, but carefully trimmed the weeds in the yard. The yard was cleaned again. By noon, the yard had changed dramatically.
"It looks like a place for people to live." Su Yuan said to himself.
After cleaning, Su Yuan locked the door and went to the supermarket in town. It's just a small town, and it's impossible to buy authentic Chinese ingredients. Fortunately, Su Yuan is not picky now, and has made a bunch of eggs, steaks, sausages and the like. Then he slowly pushed towards the checkout area.
When I walked past a teenager who was holding a beer. Su Yuan paused slightly. He glanced sideways at the boy.
Brown hair, blue eyes, and somewhat skinny teenagers. The face is not handsome, and it gives people a sense of cowardice. He was a little flustered, his eyes constantly meowing around.
But the other passers-by didn't pay much attention. A few more people greeted him. A middle-aged and elderly black man asked.
"Hi Simon. Why didn't you go to school today? Came out so early to buy beer for your father? ”
"Hmm......" the boy replied with some flusteredness.
"My father has been feeling a little unwell for the past two days, and I am taking care of him at home."
"No wonder, I haven't seen Pete in days. Is he okay? ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just a fever."
"Oh, that should give him a little more rest. Tell him that I'll go see him when I have time. ”
"Thank you, sir. I'll tell my father. ”
"It's okay, you can go back quickly. Tell Pete to drink less when you have a cold. ”
"I see, sir." Simon picked up a case of beer and ran away without looking back.
The man turned around and saw Su Yuan.
"Don't be surprised, this kid hasn't been a talkative since he was a child. The older you get, the more serious this problem becomes. Hey, he's a mild social disability now. By the way, my name is William. Rogers, the sheriff of the town. Welcome to Barrow Town. ”
The sheriff said with a friendly hand. Su Yuan shook hands and returned the salute, and asked in surprise:
"The sheriff knows me?"
"Hahahaha, Mr. Grant. You don't know that everyone in the town has known you since you moved into that house. But don't stress, every town has its own quirky legends, but don't take it personally. In fact, if it weren't for my wife's disapproval, I would have bought that house as an investment. It's just a few people who died, and I saw a lot of dead people when I was a soldier. ”
"I think so too. True fear comes from within, not without. ”
"Wow, you're saying a lot better than I can say. What is your profession? ”
"Sorry, I forgot to say that. I'm a writer. A book about murder in a small town is currently being written. ”
"O'...... That's why you chose that house. I now feel like you're a better fit for that house. If you want to know what happened in that house, you can always come to me. I was already a police officer in the town, and I was the one who handled the case. It is not impossible to ensure that all information is first-hand, even if it is not published. ”
"That's great, please give me a contact information, I'll have to visit the sheriff another day."
"Of course it's no problem, you can go directly to the police station to find me. I was there most of the time. This is my business card and I look forward to your arrival. ”
The sheriff said and handed Su Yuan a business card. Su Yuan took the business card and said casually:
"The kid named Simon just now seems to have bruises on his face."
"Really? He kept his head down, but I didn't pay attention. ”
"Because I'm on his side, I can see it vaguely. It's not very clear, though. ”
"No, no, no, old Pete's temper is really not very good, and it is entirely possible to use violence against that child. He had such a criminal record. Well, if that's the case, then I'll have to take care of it. Thanks for the clue Mr. Grant. ”
After the sheriff finished speaking, he left thoughtfully. And Su Yuan also walked to the counter to check out without hurry.
"Hi, Mr. Grant." The salesman saw Su Yuan as if he had seen a star. He stretched out his head and came to Su Yuan's eyes and asked.
"Tell me, how does it feel to live in that house?"
Su Yuan tilted his head back slightly, avoiding being sprayed by his saliva.
"Honestly, nothing special. There are no weird noises, the tables don't run, the chairs don't fall down, the windows don't open for no reason, and you can sleep peacefully until you wake up naturally. ”
"That's right......" the cashier retracted his head in disappointment. I was very dissatisfied that I didn't hear the exciting and weird news. He muttered a quick checkout to Su Yuan, and then ignored Su Yuan.
Su Yuan wouldn't bother with this kind of person, so he left the supermarket with his things. Two or three o'clock in the afternoon. A dark cloud obscured the sun. A strange kind of depression and stuffiness filled the town. Looks like a precursor to heavy rain.
The sweltering weather made Su Yuan in no mood to do anything else. Sitting on a deck chair in the yard and blowing the wind. Around four o'clock, the rain arrived. The downpour instantly washed away the previous heat and oppression.
Su Yuan did quietly for a while in the torrential rain, an invisible barrier blocked in front of him, and not a drop of rain could fall on his body.
After that, Su Yuan returned to the house and made two steaks for dinner. Then I was bored and went to bed.
And not long after he lay down, a phantom appeared silently in the room. It was the image of a woman. Beside her, four more dwarf phantoms soon appeared.
The woman looked around, then pointed to the table. Several ghosts immediately stepped forward and lay on the table, looking like they wanted to overturn the table.
Under the torrential rain, the occasional thunder and lightning always reflected the ghosts in the living room. That kind of terrifying and weird scene is that a person has to be scared to pee when he sees it. But if you look closer, the living room is a different scene entirely.
I saw a ghost in the living room desperately pushing a dining table, trying to push the dining table to it. However, the embarrassing thing is that no matter how hard they try, the table does not move.
The woman looked at the table with a strange expression, then waved to lift the chair next to her. Sadly, however, even the chairs did not move.
Even the translucent phantom could now see the ghost's confusion, and she ran to the window again, trying to open the window facing the bedroom. But unsurprisingly, it failed again. The tired figures of several little ghosts have faded.
This made the big ghost look a little panicked. She didn't know what was wrong there. Obviously, he can move objects, but he has scared off several tenants before this. But now she found that she couldn't move anything in this room. She looked back at the direction of the bedroom where Su Yuan was, hesitated, didn't dare to go over, but disappeared with a few small ghosts.
And Su Yuan, who was in the bedroom, also twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and then continued to sleep.
