Volume 4 When I Wake Up Chapter 41 Paper Man
"That's why you have this strange ability?"
Lu Yuanjun sat on the chair and looked at Li Lu with a smile, there was an empty space outside the window, the autumn slaughter was extremely clear at this moment, but the sudden cold air could not invade his house.
Li Lu sat opposite Lu Yuanjun, he shook his head, took out a cigarette, held it to his mouth, and lit it lightly with a lighter.
"You're not just coming to me to tell me about your nightmare, are you?"
"It's not." Li Lu took a sharp puff of cigarette, and then exhaled a swirling smoke, and Lu Yuanjun saw an unnatural look flash on Li Lu's face through the thick white smoke.
"This is just the .....beginning," Li Lu threw the cigarette on the ground, and the cigarette butt collided with the ground, splashing bright orange sparks, Li Lu stepped on it with his foot and crushed it left and right.
"I thought it was just a dream..... But the woman's face appeared in other strange things....."
Li Lu took a deep breath, spoke slowly, and began to tell the second story.....
Before Li Lu had that nightmare, he had seen the woman.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a female corpse and a female ghost, because when Li Lu saw her that time, she was not human.
Li Lu is in elementary school in W City, but he has always lived with his grandparents, and his mother has been living in a factory in a small county town outside W City because of work.
It was the summer vacation that year, and the little Li Lu was alone, and he got on a long bus and arrived in the small county town where his mother was.
Mom lived in a row of bungalow apartments, which were the best houses in the factory housing complex at that time, but they were still very shabby. Li Lusi's mother was anxious and didn't care about the house, but what he was a little worried about was that there was only one bedroom in the house, and his mother slept in a single bed, so he could only sleep on the spread sofa at night.
Fortunately, the sofa has a folding function, and when opened, it is a double bed that can accommodate two people. Mom carefully laid out the futon, and the sofa was cleaned up as warm and comfortable as the big bed.
The time was past twelve o'clock in the morning, Li Lu got into the quilt, his mother bent down and kissed Li Lu's forehead gently, she looked at Li Lu gently.
"Sleep, son."
With that, Mom gently turned off the light and went back to her bedroom.
Even Li Lu thought that he would have a sweet dream and spend a good night this night.
In this way, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep soundly.
I don't know when, but Li Lu suddenly woke up, the moonlight through the window, shining through, just shining on the watch hanging in the living room, Li Lu glanced at it, and found that it was only more than one o'clock.
But just a glance at this also made Li Lu aim at other things that should not be seen.
Li Lu found that beside him, on the left side of the double bed, there was a person lying there. Li Lu, who was dazed, didn't react, and turned his head stupidly to look, but before Ha completely turned around, his neck immediately froze.
Fear caused all his movements to stop immediately, and even his breathing, his heartbeat, became extremely slow in an instant.
He seemed to react that he was sleeping alone.
At this moment, Li Lu instantly understood why those characters in the movie suddenly remained motionless when they were facing danger and fear, instead of cleverly fleeing.
Outside the house, there was silence, and even the chirping of cicadas and insects had disappeared. The black air was like a rock, unshakable and pressed on Li Lu's body, making him breathless.
Maybe it's scaring yourself.....
Maybe my mother came to sleep next to me at night.....
Li Lu frantically tried to comfort himself, but his heart beat faster and faster, betraying the prototype of his fear.
Something had to be done.....
Li Lu thought about it, and he decided to call his mother and see where she would reply to him. Thinking so, Li Lu tried to lower his voice, and tried to let his mother hear. He pinched his throat and shouted softly, "Mom.....?" ”
"What's wrong son?"
Mom's sleepy voice came from the bedroom.
In an instant, a huge fear completely swallowed Li Lu. He felt a constant buzzing sound next to his ears, Li Lu's scalp was numb, because of fear and nervousness, the blood rushed to his head in an instant, making him dizzy and making his ears ring.
Li Lu finally understood that in the horror movies he watched before, why once the terrifying picture appeared, it would be accompanied by that kind of terrifying and heavy background music, in fact, it was not music, but the buzzing sound in people's ears because of fear.
Li Lu regretted it very much, after watching so many horror movies, he regretted even more that he did not strongly ask to sleep with his mother.
The little boy, who is only in the first or second grade, is actually not so bold. Little Li Lu was already about to faint with fright, he wanted to scream loudly, and then rushed out of bed as fast as he could, ran to the bedroom, and got into his mother's bed.
But Li Lu found that he couldn't do it at all. Maybe the 'thing' next to him will grab him faster than he does, and kill him.
Li Lu didn't dare to provoke it.
So what to do?
Despair and helplessness forced Li Lu to shed tears, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't even notice that he was crying. He only felt numb all over his body and had difficulty breathing.
It turns out that real fear does not make people scream, but makes people so frightened that they can't make a sound.
Mom was still asking loudly, but Li Lu didn't dare to squeak in response, he squeezed himself on the edge of the sofa, not daring to move for a moment, for fear that the thing next to him would find him. After a while, my mother stopped asking, perhaps thinking that Li Lu was talking in his sleep. But according to the past, my mother would come to see Li Lu and touch his head, but that night, my mother was surprisingly calm and didn't come out to see Li Lu.
Li Lu's last hope was gone. He felt a chill behind him, and finally, he tried to turn his head little by little, choosing a good angle. Li Lu decided to see what it was.
That night, Li Lu saw the most terrifying scene.
There was no blood, no monsters, no terrible myriaped bugs, there was no terrible appearance in Li Lu's impression, but a brand new appearance that refreshed his fear.
Li Lu knew in his heart that he had seen it before, and he knew it.
It was a paper man.
The paper figure looked like a woman, with a somewhat square face, and two blobs of blush on her pale cheeks, but it seemed to fade a little. Its two eyes were made vividly, and the eyeballs were big and round, staring at the ceiling, Li Lu felt that they were the eyes of a real person.
The paper figure doesn't have a mouth, and only a black line is drawn where it should be, but Li Lu always feels that it will suddenly say something.
Li Lu was shocked, he turned his head slightly, he didn't know what emotion it should be, he felt that he was crazy, it must be an illusion, it must be .....
In this way, Li Lu covered his head in the quilt and covered his whole body, at least in this way, Li Lu would have a little sense of security.
In this way, Li Lu fell asleep unconsciously..... Until the morning, Mom pulled his quilt open, and he still maintained the same position as last night.
The first thing Li Lu did when he woke up was to sit up and turn around, at this moment the sunlight outside the window gave him a sufficient sense of security, and he wanted to see what it was. But as soon as he turned around, Li Lu found that there was nothing on his left.
Li Lu scratched his head, and his heart that had been hanging finally regained its calm, it turned out to be just a nightmare.....
"Silly son, with such a big bed, why are you shrunk to sleep by yourself?" Mom said with a smile, stroking Li Lu's head as she prepared to clean up the mattress on the sofa. However, her mother's movements suddenly froze, and her eyes fell straight on the sheet on Li Lu's left, and her eyes were a little dull.
She saw that the folds on the sheet on the left side of Li Lu were printed with the shape of a person.
