Towards midnight and the last five minutes, the street lights in the left and right rows of Villa 13 were dimmed one after another from the outside to the inside, the light source was swallowed up and invaded, and the whole street was suddenly unusually quiet.

Finally, Villa 13 became the home of darkness.

There are still three living people left in the villa.

Leaning against the corner of the stairs, a middle-aged man clutched a voice recorder tightly, gasping for breath and sweating on his forehead.

"Dead, all dead! It's just an ordinary-level mission, how can this be? Sheng! Where is the way to live? ”

And while he was thinking, a drop of sweat finally couldn't withstand the gravity, slipped from the corner of his face, and "ticked" and smashed to the ground. The sound is not loud, but it is exceptionally clear in the quiet villa.

This voice seemed to ring the death knell in the man's mind, his body trembled, and in an instant his complexion changed greatly, he bounced directly from the ground and rushed up the stairs, like a sharp arrow off the string, and rushed to the second floor without looking back.

"It's coming"

"That evil spirit, if you don't kill us, it will never stop!"

The man didn't dare to look back, he knew that the evil spirit must be behind him, he couldn't do anything, he couldn't do anything but escape!

At the head of the staircase where the man was before, a slender figure with a height of nearly two and a half meters appeared in the darkness, slowly walking on slender legs, chasing him step by step. If you look closely, the proportions of the slender figure are very strange, the upper body is very short, but the legs are as long as two adults.

That is, although it does not move fast, its one step is equal to two steps for a middle-aged man!

Although it walked, its speed was about the same as that of a man, and the distance between a man and a spirit was approaching, and it was only a matter of time before it was overtaken.

The middle-aged man ran deeper and deeper in the corridor on the second floor, he didn't know when he would run to the end, but in the current situation, he could only run like crazy. The wheezing sound was already extremely heavy, and he felt his legs getting heavier and heavier, and now he was completely supported by the survival instinct of man.

However, he ran desperately like this, he could only drink to quench his thirst, he had seen the dark wall in front of him, his face became more and more pale, his legs began to tremble, and finally the second floor was run to the end by him, and his body hit the thick wall in front of him uncontrollably.

You can't retreat, you can't escape!

He shivered and glanced at his watch, 11:58:30, the last minute and a half minutes before the end of the mission, the most desperate one and a half.

The cold and chilling aura behind him approached step by step, and he knew that he was completely in a desperate situation.

The man turned around and leaned against the wall and lost all his strength, his body slid down little by little, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and his face was full of unwillingness, resentment, and disobedience.

"It's really hopeless this time, or it's a desperate thing to get into that place, and it's just a joke that I abandoned my humanity and struggled by any means."

In the gloomy corridor less than five meters ahead, the slender evil spirit had already been revealed, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was looking forward to the next bloody scene.

People are really just ants in the face of evil spirits!

However......

When the man sat on the ground, waiting for death, a slide appeared in front of him, and the man raised his head in surprise, and a secret door appeared on the ceiling above the slide.

In the small door, a frightened and trembling woman appeared, and a little boy was trembling and hiding behind the woman.

"Quick... Come on. ”

The man was overjoyed, grabbed the slide and climbed it with a pedal belt, this slide was like an escalator to heaven for him, and he could live if he went up! Because there's only one minute left until the end of the mission!

The evil spirit in front of him realized that the lamb in front of him was about to escape, and took a step to grab the slide, but it was still a step too late. Finally, the slide was torn off, but the man had already climbed into the secret door.

The man sat next to the secret door and locked the door, waited for a moment, and found that there was no sound below, and the feeling of cold disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he almost couldn't believe it, and the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made him tense his nerves and get a chance to relax.

Above the secret door is the attic of this villa, full of children's toys, presumably the secret base of this little boy, although not big, but enough for the man, because he is about to complete his mission and leave this ghost place.

He looked at the mother and son curled up in front of him, the little boy trembled his lips as if he was frightened, the woman hugged the boy tightly, trembled, and asked the man in a low voice: "You, what about the rest of you, what about my husband, ......?" ”

The man didn't pay attention to her, but frowned and stared at the mother and son, he thought that the mother and son had died at the hands of the evil spirit, but he didn't expect to save his life now, could it be ...... Immediately, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and was about to speak.

Bang!

The three of them jerked their heads up, only to see the evil spirit enter through the skylight of the attic, bringing with it a large piece of broken glass.

The tall evil spirit can only bend over in this attic, but it is enough, it can kill all three people in front of it in a few seconds.

How could it be! How can it come in from outside the villa, the mission is not written like this!

This time the man was closer to the evil spirit, and he could see the evil spirit's expression clearly, which was cruel pleasure.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, looked at his watch and had only half a minute left, and then fell into death again, such a small room was simply helpless, and he couldn't even delay time!

"Huh? Stalling for time......" he looked at the mother and son who kept leaning against him in fright, "Yes, my partner is dead, why can you live!" ”

"I can't wait for the opportunity, while they are scared silly, throw out a substitute ghost, I may still have a chance to complete the task."

The man's bloodshot eyes widened, and he grabbed the woman beside him and shoved her hard at the demon's feet. At the same time, he grabbed the little boy's arm in case of trouble.

The woman didn't expect that the man she saved with her own hands would push her out, and she was directly trampled under the feet of the evil spirit, and this step flattened her head, and all the red and white sprayed out, splashing the man and the little boy.

The spray of blood stimulated the nature of the evil spirit, and began to bow its head and torture the woman, ignoring for a moment the two people who were close to it.

The little boy watched his mother fall into the hands of evil spirits, frantically struggling, now at a young age, he understood something, his father should have been more than lucky, he and his mother hid here to live until now, he can not lose his mother again.

I wanted to rush to the evil spirit to protect my mother, but I couldn't break free from the man's shackles at all, and I was in tears and screamed loudly, but I could only watch my mother being tortured and killed by the evil spirit.

Seeing that it was really effective, the man excitedly brought the recorder that had never been put down to his mouth, and muttered non-stop, midnight zero finally arrived, and a white light sprayed out from the inside out of the man's body, and suddenly the whole person disappeared into the attic.

And what happened in front of him was beyond the psychological tolerance of the 9-year-old boy, who was still shouting "Mom" a second before he passed out!

"Mom"

Boom, a thunderclap exploded from the window, and Xu Lang woke up instantly, sweating profusely.

"Did you dream about that again......"

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Xu Lang had no intention of sleeping anymore, grabbed his glasses from the bedside, put them on, put on his shoes and walked into the bathroom.

Wow....

There was water on the faucet, Xu Lang's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the mirror in front of him sluggishly.

In the mirror, he has a medium-thin figure, an almost sickly white complexion, a pair of black-framed glasses that do not match the proportions of his face, and a long untreated hair, which looks particularly depressed, and looks no different from an addict.

Xu Lang pulled his hair, sat at the window after changing his clothes, lit a cigarette, and his thoughts returned to that dream.

It wasn't actually a dream, but an experience he had when he was 9 years old, and it haunted him 18 years later as he dreamed back at midnight.

After he fell into a coma, he woke up to find his aunt sitting next to him in the hospital.

When his aunt saw that he was awake, she came up and taught him a lesson: "I messed around at a young age, didn't go home after school, and caused trouble outside." ”

At that time, although Xu Lang was frightened, he was not stupid, he didn't understand that he hadn't been at home all the time?

After crying and spilling, his aunt told him that Xu Lang's parents had died a long time ago, and he had been living in his aunt's house since he was a child.

Of course Xu Lang doesn't believe this set of rhetoric. As he argued about what had happened last night, there was a hint of boredom in his aunt's eyes, accusing him of seeing too much of the odd thing, how could there be such a thing in the world.

Xu Lang, who did not believe in evil, later verified that the villa was not his home at all, and even tried to dig up the toys buried when he was a child on the lawn of the villa, but found nothing; His parents also died in a car accident a few years ago, and it was his aunt's family who adopted him.

Xu Lang grew up little by little, and his aunt's family became more and more strange about Xu Lang, as if he had changed since that hospitalization, he had become a different person, becoming taciturn, stubborn and extreme, in my aunt's opinion, Xu Lang seemed to have become a problem teenager, with wrong views. If it weren't for Xu Lang's father leaving a large amount of property before he died, she wouldn't want to care about this child at all.

Xu Lang's changes come from shock, confusion, and doubt...... There was also some fear.

There is a great contrast between reality and memory, and he has been looking to verify what went wrong in his memory since he was 9 years old.

9 years of illusory family affection, the shocking evil spirit, and the middle-aged man who killed his mother, everything is like a huge labyrinth, and Xu Lang is like a lost person who is obsessed with finding an exit, unable to extricate himself.

Xu Lang, who has grown up, still can't let go, he has no friends, no relatives, he doesn't trust anything, he only firmly believes that his memory is right, he wants to find out the truth about the murder of his parents, and he wants to prove that there is really that kind of horror in this world.

So he chose to be a private detective, not investigating extramarital affairs or helping people find cats and dogs, but specializing in investigating supernatural events.

But at the age of 27, he has been in the industry for almost three years, investigating many cases, large and small, and all the cases can be explained by science in the end, and the supernatural seems to have disappeared from this world.

The smoke burned out, and Xu Lang's thoughts were pulled back to reality.

The sky was already cloudy, and just as Xu Lang was about to make a cup of coffee and study the case at hand, his mobile phone emitted a dazzling light in the dimly lit room.

Xu Lang picked up the phone, and the moment he saw the content, the whole person stood in front of the window as if he had been electrocuted.

Unknown number, sent a text message: "It's time, Xu Lang." Give you a chance to find evil spirits, will you come? ”
