Chapter 1: Do You See It (1)
Liu Qingming hissed and inhaled the cool air, he had gained weight recently, his pants were worn tightly, and he couldn't help but pee.
There were two more glasses of wine at the dinner table, maybe he was old, and the urge to urinate came violently, he turned around the third floor a few times, and the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't find a place, so he hit the idea to the fourth floor.
The KTV on the third floor has two large boxes on the fourth floor, which are usually not opened, and there are toilets inside.
The fourth floor of the mall is occupied by a movie theater, and several popular films have begun to be screened, so there are not many people wandering outside, so it is quieter than downstairs.
He walked forward with his legs between his legs, and when he passed through a sandwich passage, there was a strange sound behind him, like smooth skin connecting to the wet ground and then slowly being peeled off, and the thin tearing sound was reflected by the walls on both sides, and clearly reached his ears.
Liu Qingming glanced back, but there was no one.
"Excuse me?" He muttered, but unaware that a muddy handprint appeared on the ground rubbing his heel.
I don't know who opened a big box, and the ghosts and wolves were crying and singing in it, and I couldn't hear the original tune.
He looked left and right to see that there was no one, pushed open the box door on the right and slipped in.
The box was pitch black, and the toilet was even more so.
He didn't dare to turn on the light, squinted his eyes and tried to align them, the water poured down, and he sighed comfortably.
"Brother Liu......"
Suddenly someone called him in his ear, like a sigh.
He was startled, and turned his head sharply, but he didn't see anything, just a mirror, reflecting the faint light outside the glass door, showing some coldness.
It was still dark outside.
His fingers were a little stiff, and he didn't care about stuffing them in a hurry, pulled the zipper and walked out.
On the other side, the cold wind sounded like a sigh.
"Brother Liu."
The box was eerie and cold in vain, and he didn't dare to look back again, and walked out little by little without squinting.
The screens on the four walls of the box don't know when they start bouncing small signs, and a little light is facing the large sofa in the center.
The leather sofa reveals the glow of the skin's texture in the light.
There was a man sitting on it crying.
The couch was facing away from the toilet, and all he could see was a head hanging down, shaking with crying.
Liu Qingming stood at the door of the toilet and did not dare to take a step.
"It hurts...... It hurts......"
The woman cried faintly, her voice hanging in the air, and she went straight to Liu Qingming's ears lightly.
The voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
A red light suddenly lit up above the woman's head.
Liu Qingming's back tightened.
The red fell with a let of breath and fell to the place where the couch was covered, and he heard the woman whimper, and the cry was louder.
"I hurt so much...... Brother Liu, Brother Liu......"
"No, no, no, it's not me...... It's not me......" His lips trembled, and he slowly walked out with his back against the wall.
The aisle to the toilet was short, the sofa was between the door and him, and he had to pass in front of the woman to get out.
He stopped at the end of the aisle and whispered to the woman, "It's not me, I didn't do it, let me go, please......"
The woman was silent and sat quietly on the couch.
Liu Qingming stood for a while, and the woman didn't move, he had the courage to go out, and he carefully landed quietly, and when he was about to walk through the sofa, the woman screamed softly.
"Brother Liu......"
He didn't dare to look back, so he held his breath and continued walking.
However, the cry suddenly sounded close to his ears, and he stopped in place for a moment, but there was no sound for a long time. Liu Qingming couldn't help but glance back, the sofa was empty, and the woman was no longer there.
His chest twitched and he took a breath, and the heart that had jumped to his throat fell back into his stomach.
Liu Qingming wiped the cold sweat on his face, and wanted to leave quickly, but his feet were stuck in place and couldn't move, there was a cold and hard thing around his ankles, the cold invaded the bone marrow, he shook his lips before he could make a sound, he was pulled violently, and fell heavily to the ground.
He crawled forward desperately, his eyes looking back, and a wet hand grabbed him through his pants.
"Ahh
He screamed and kicked his feet, but the other hand did not move, and even another hand grabbed his pants and climbed up, and his smooth body struggled out of the darkness and hung on his lap.
She had no eyes, no lips, no teeth, she opened her mouth, no tongue. She grabbed Liu Qingming's trouser legs with both hands, her pale hands had no nails, and the nail bed looked like ten scarlet cigarette scars.
"Ahh
He lay on the ground and struggled wildly, I don't know if the resistance was too fierce, and the woman was actually broken free by him.
Liu Qingming escaped from the box with his hands and feet, the smooth floor made him slip constantly, he only knew to run forward, hit his head, and fell into a noisy space.
He slipped under the cramped coffee table, his feet dangling around.
They have shoes, they have pants.
They crouched down, their features full.
The red lips that wrapped their teeth and tongues opened and closed, and the sound grew farther and farther away.
Suddenly, the coffee table where he was hiding was pushed away, and a few pairs pulled him up, and his fat body was swept into the sofa, and the fat shook a few times with the spring.
"Uncle? Uncle? Are you okay? ”
The young faces were filled with surprise and concern.
Except for one person......
The man stood far away, leaning against the coffee table at his feet, his face colored by the light of the screen, but without the slightest expression, out of place in the middle of these emotional faces.
Liu Qingming couldn't help but stare at it.
He saw the man turn his head and look out for a moment, say something to the person next to him, and then leave.
Soon, the man returned, holding his phone in his hand, and the light on the screen slowly dimmed.
Liu Qingming had a bad premonition, he wanted to leave, but the boy next to him suddenly stuffed a cup of hot tea.
"Uncle, drink some water."
He didn't want to drink water, but the boy deliberately pressed his hand firmly on his shoulder.
The man walked towards the crowd and said a few words to whom, in the dark, there were many figures, and Liu Qingming couldn't see clearly.
The music then stopped, and a girl took the microphone and said it's scattered, let's go back.
Disappointed, the young men sighed and prepared to leave.
Liu Qingming was forced to sit in place, and the other shoulder was pressed by another person, and the expressionless person knelt beside him with one leg bent, telling those people over and over again.
"You go first, I'll wait a minute."
It's a girl, with very short hair, very tall, dimly lit and hard-boned, and you can't tell it's a woman if you don't speak.
It was only after they were almost gone that she said the next sentence.
"Did she come back to you?"
The screen was red and green reflecting her face, like a ghost.
Liu Qingming's nerves were as fragile as a bean sprout at the moment, and he broke it again with a bang, and he got up and ran in a panic, and his neck hurt after he didn't run two steps, and he fell to the ground, completely silent.
Mo Bei hissed and shook his hand twice.
Who would have thought that such a fat man could have such a big bone bulging from the back of his neck.
She pulled the person back into the couch and pulled out her phone to call the police.
“…… He said he saw a man get into the couch. ”
"yes, he was stunned."
Liu Qingming woke up at the right time, wiping and chirping to open his eyes when they were about to call an ambulance.
The tall man politely said to him: "Mr. Liu, we found a female corpse in box 611, I heard that you are an eyewitness, please go back with us to make a record." ”
He subconsciously refused: "No...... I didn't see ......."
The man had no intention of consulting him, and repeated gently and forcefully, "Please come with us." ”
Liu Qingming's hands and feet were weak and he was helped out of the box, and it happened that the stretcher on the opposite side was also carried out with a white cloth.
Liu Qingming's face was as white as paper, and he muttered as if he had lost his soul: "I don't know her, I don't know her......"
"Mr. Liu, don't worry," the man said slowly, "We just want to know some details, and we hope you will cooperate." ”
He motioned to the people next to him to take Liu Qingming away, and stopped the person who walked last.
He flipped through the notebook in his hand: "Is Mo Bei right?" Did you call the police? ”
She nodded.
"My name is Tang Song," he said, "you wait a minute, I have something to ask you." ”
Mo Bei was stunned for a moment: "Someone has already made a record." ”
Tang Song had an inexplicable smile on his face, which made people feel dangerous, he gently tapped the edge of his right hand with his notebook, the joint between his little finger and the palm, lowered his head slightly, and his voice was in his throat, adding some ambiguity.
"He's done it, but I haven't done it yet."
“……”
Mo Bei put his hand behind his back and stretched out his hand, gently wiped the base of the little finger of his right hand, and nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, he straightened up and pointed to the box where she was staying: "That's it." ”
Tang Song opened the door for her and closed it with his backhand.
The box still maintained the mess after Liu Qingming made trouble, eating and drinking were scattered all over the floor, several sofas were placed, and the black leather reflected the light, a kind of soft patches similar to the skin produced by the light.
A female corpse was dug up from the couch next door, making them look ominous.
"Is there a corpse in there?"
Mo Bei was startled, and subconsciously wanted to turn around, but he didn't know when Tang Song was already standing behind him, and pressed her shoulder to stop her movements, and the edge of his thumb accidentally crossed out of the part wrapped by the collar and touched the skin on the side of her neck.
She didn't answer, her body was tense, and her breathing was a little shorter, Tang Song thought she was scared, so he heard her take a deep breath and say calmly: "No." ”
The surroundings were quiet, and there were some conversations in the distance, which made the box even quieter.
"Is it not or do you not know?"
When he approached, his hair rubbed, and the collision between the tip of his tongue and his mouth and teeth clearly fell into Mo Bei's ears.
Mo Bei leaned over and took off his hand, the tinnitus had not stopped, and the noisy sound filled his ears again.
She turned to look at Tang Song: "No." ”
He was a little surprised, and then smiled again, this time he finally looked like a kind servant of the people: "It's not early, I'll send you back." ”
"No, you don't."
"The bus to the National Normal University has stopped, and it is not safe for girls to take a taxi alone."
It's not necessarily safe to walk with you.
He walked behind her: "You went the other way around. ”
"......," she snorted.
Mo Bei thought that he was going to ride a police car through the city, not a black private car.
She habitually hooked the co-pilot's door handle, paused, and sat in the back.
Tang Song didn't say anything this time, and sent her back to the dormitory.
The school has not officially opened, only the new students who have stayed far away after the military training, and there are only high-rise buildings all the way in, all with the lights out, and the windows are like dark holes.
There are only a few lights in the dormitory building, and it is as quiet as a ghost building.
When Mo Bei was about to get out of the car, he heard him say softly: "I'm sorry." ”
She shook her head in silence and got out of the car.
