At first, I didn't pay attention to his crazy words, but wanted to leave the room and look out the window at the wild flowers and dead grass, maybe I would feel better.

But as soon as I crossed the threshold, he grabbed my hand in a white hospital gown.

"Uncle... Promise me never to look in the mirror, never...".

I chuckled inwardly, and turned to look at his frightened face with a smile on my face.

"Don't look in the mirror... No... Woohoo".

He saw me look back at me, and then he shivered in the corner with his legs folded.

I couldn't help but feel a little sour when I looked at him, so I took off my clothes and draped them over him, smiling.

"Hahaha Uncle is not a woman, how can he look in the mirror finely, but can you talk to your uncle."

"Why don't you look in the mirror, what's wrong with looking in the mirror..."

I smiled with confusion on my face, but I saw him suddenly raise his head, his eyes glazed over, and he was humming an unknown song like a child of five or six years old.

I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart, but when I tried to ask him again, he had already become like this.

I couldn't get serious with a mentally ill person, so I smiled and turned away, but as I gradually closed the door.

But I heard his wail echoing through the room.

"Don't... Don't come, I didn't look in the mirror... I didn't look in the mirror. ”

I sensed something strange in my heart, so I turned around and took off the large mirror hanging on the bathroom wall, and carried it back into the room with a little bit of footsteps.

I covered the mirror with a white sheet and whispered a smile at him.

"Then Uncle will perform a magic trick on you, and then you have to tell Uncle what you see in it."

His eyes gradually revealed the innocence and joy that only a child of a few years old could have, as if he was facing something unknown and new.

Without hesitation, I counted one, two, three, and lifted the white sheet from the mirror.

The scene in front of him frightened him a lot, and his body couldn't help trembling.

"Ahhh Ghosts, headless ghosts. ”

"Boom."

Outside the window, a thunderclap suddenly fell from the cloudy weather, and the torrential rain swept the land again.

It didn't seem to have cleared up for more than ten days, and I was startled by the sudden sound of loud thunder.

The mirror in his hand didn't hold it steady, and it fell directly to the ground.

"Smack." Completely shattered.

"Don't look in the mirror... Don't look in the mirror..., there's a headless ghost in there."

"9547 What are you doing".

Behind me, the nurse in white gave me a loud shout.

I turned to look at the hideous-looking young nurse, whose flesh and skin seemed to be distorted, as if I had made some unforgivable mistake.

At first, I was a little dazed, but the next second, I saw a line of small words "9547" clearly printed on my hospital gown, and I instantly understood.

I'm very talented at pretending to be stupid, but I just learned to show a simple gaze like a mentally ill person, babbling and babbling non-stop, and finally concealed it.

As my mind gradually cleared up, I couldn't help but hesitate a little when I looked at the dark staircase in front of me.

"Why don't you look in the mirror..., what's in the mirror." I couldn't help but mutter, and little by little, I walked slowly down the "safe passage" marked during the day.

The stone steps under my feet passed silently behind me, and I held my fully charged phone tightly and turned on the flashlight to the maximum.

"Boom..."

Faintly, there were bursts of thunder in my ears, and I really couldn't understand the weather, I hadn't seen the sun for three days.

And the patients living in this strange old building like lonely souls in front of them seem to have become accustomed to this kind of rainy weather.

The intersection on the third floor leads to the so-called underpass, and there are two pairs of steps to turn back to the bottom, which is like a common design in a residential building.

A platform will be built between the two staircases for passers-by to rest.

It's just that I didn't stop for a while, but kept moving forward bravely, and my steps went down to the bottom without slowing down.

But the moment I stepped on the cold ground, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Then I turned back a little bit, and finally I discovered a very terrible pattern.

The stone steps of this staircase are not the same, to be precise, except for the iron door leading to the first floor, which is twelve stone steps, the other floors are eleven stone steps.

"How is this possible, how can there be one more."

Even if I didn't study architecture, I knew that this was a taboo in the house, and there was no way to build a staircase with a double number.

Such a thing is impossible in ancient times or now, because even numbers represent bad luck.

It is a universal law that stairs can only be singular forever.

"Shhhh

I gasped and suddenly remembered a horror story that Wu Lao Gou had told me about the stairs.

It is said that he also engaged in swagger and deception when he was down, but those years were also turbulent times.

People starved to death without food, and those who survived to death.

But there is such a family in this barren mountain range, the family is a husband and wife with a child, because the ancestors were officials in the Qing Dynasty, and the treasures left behind made life very rich.

Just one day, the child of the family suddenly told his father that when he inadvertently counted the stairs in the middle of the night, he was suddenly surprised to find that there were twelve steps in the stairs at home.

In the daytime, the entire staircase becomes eleventh, and the husband and wife will be suspicious and feel that this matter is a little strange.

I decided to try it at one o'clock in the morning that night, but the steps under my feet had just reached the eleventh step that night.

A scream suddenly came from the child's room, and the couple was so frightened that they hurried back into the house.

Suddenly, I saw a miserable white hand appear out of thin air on the bed, grabbing the child's hair little by little and lifting it up.

After Wu Laogou heard about this matter, he immediately volunteered to find the couple, and after some incorruptible tongues, the two of them believed in their "ability." ”

In fact, Wu Laogou will catch any ghosts, he once learned the art of inverted fighting with a master in his early years, but that's all.

As for his swaggering and deception, it is clear that he wants not to starve to death in this troubled world, and cheats money in the house of this haggard couple.

Until one night, Wu Laogou walked down the stairs under the admonition of the two couples.

The rule of the 12 steps has a premise, that is, the lights must be dark.

Wu Laogou is also a little capable, after all, he has encountered many evil things in the tomb, and he is also a little bolder.

But when he stepped on the 11th floor, he accidentally stumbled and rolled down.

What was supposed to be a tiled floor suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Layers of ancient stone stairs covered with moss followed.

The stone steps seemed to have no end, and when you looked up, the road ahead was already covered in darkness.

Things have almost exceeded Wu Laogou's expectations when they got here.

He is also an ordinary person with flesh and blood, and he can't help but feel a little worried about who he is at this time.

But now that things have developed here, they can only go down.

Looking down through the gap in the middle of the staircase, the rusty guardrail stretches down like a centipede, and there is no end to it.

Wu Laogou was completely frightened by this scene, and when he woke up the next day, he was lying on a lonely grave on a barren mountain.

There was a white mist wafting through the mountain forest, and it was not clear where it was.

He was a little puzzled, and then turned around to find that the huge mound actually had only a wordless tombstone.

He escaped from the fog drifting in the mountains and forests, and finally learned from the mouth of outsiders.

Originally, this was originally a mass grave set up by little devils.

Later, the little devil was beaten away, and a very wealthy couple bulldozed the grave and built a small building on it.

So far, disasters have continued.

First, the husband suspected that someone was going to kill him all day long, and finally jumped out of the river and his body was gone.

Then the wife was in a trance, shouting that there were words in the mirror, and the people nearby thought that it was because she was too sad and finally insane.

I never thought that in the end, the wife's son, who was just over six years old, jumped into the fire and burned to ashes.

Everyone said that this was a yin house, and the yin qi of the entire building had been superimposed to the point where it could no longer be attached, leading to hell.

Wu Laogou was shocked, and every time he thought about it for so many years, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

The couple he met at the beginning had actually been dead for many years, and he had eaten dim sum made by the two of them.
