Volume 1 Quicksand Mystery Chapter 4 Strange Marks
The shopkeeper looked at me, hesitated for a moment, looked around again, and said in a low voice: "Actually, there is another thing, not long after the old house was abandoned, I don't know where it came from, a group of people got into that building with a fully armed appearance, but unfortunately, no one came out alive, and the people nearby heard several screams, and finally reported to the police station, and then they carried those people out, and when they were carried out, they were already out of breath, and they were all covered with white cloths, and somehow there were gusts of wind, Half of the white cloth was lifted, and the scene was extremely unspeakable, and I also listened to our boss, so don't spread it casually. The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva and continued: "The man who died was almost unrecognizable, his ears, eyes and nose were torn off alive, and he felt palpitations when he thought about it, and after listening to the few policemen who ran into the search, he couldn't sleep and eat for a while, because the incident was so bad and bizarre, the relevant departments informed those who knew about it that they were not allowed to tell each other, so as not to cause panic." ”
I hurriedly asked, "Then do you know the black figure?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned and said, "What black figure?" All I know is that the people who lived there before often felt wet black hair on the ground or on the wall, and it smelled of dead rats, and I heard that it might be the hair of an old lady who disappeared before. ”
The fat man gave me a look and motioned me not to say more, I laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, someone told me some just now, maybe it's funny for me, it sounds quite evil." I wiped my mouth and felt like I didn't have much appetite anymore to continue eating.
The guy shook his head and stood up: "These things are mixed with truth, don't believe it, don't believe it all, and your accent doesn't look like a local, it's better to go to that place less." With that, the man went back to receive the other guests.
I turned to the fat man and said, "It seems that that place is indeed a bit strange, let's go back first, and then discuss the rest of the matter." ”
The fat man picked up the last bun and swallowed it in two bites, burped and said, "I haven't eaten much yet, so I'll go back, fortunately, the fat man I ate a lot at noon, so I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
"Man, check out." I ignored the fat man, and directly called the shop guy to give the food money, and when I walked out of the store, I looked at my watch, it was already past six o'clock, and I inadvertently glanced at the shop guy: "Fat man, we should be careful in everything, I think the other party must have some conspiracy, since the other party is not money, it may be for a bigger conspiracy, if the other party is attacked again, maybe it will not be as lucky as today." ”
The fat man rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't we call the police?" ”
"It's useless, there is no evidence and no motive, it's a waste of time to go, and maybe it will be treated as a psychiatric hospital when the time comes."
The fat man smiled: "Don't worry, with you fat man here, you can put ten hearts." After saying that, the fat man patted his chest and almost choked.
The night Scissors Lane is not as dreamy and illusory as the daytime, the scattered plane trees from time to time have a few yellow leaves, there are two or three old women sitting at the door pulling the home, and the old gentleman carrying the birdcage in the day is gone, sometimes this is the case, just when you want to return to peace, fate suddenly pulls you into the hustle and bustle, when you are immersed in the crowd coming and going, fate pulls you into the depths of no one, the world is always impermanent, but even so, We still have to step on these thistles and walk forward, and no matter how dark the road lies ahead, we can't turn back.
As soon as the fat man and I entered the door, they each lay down on the bed, thinking about what happened during the day, and the fat man turned over and sat up: "Why bother, did you really see a black figure in that building?" ”
I looked at the ceiling and fell into deep thought, and when I heard the fat man ask, I immediately said, "Yes, I can still lie to you, if you hadn't pulled me away at that time, I guess the next thing would be more than just today." ”
The fat man nodded and said, "Although I didn't see the black figure you mentioned, I felt that incomparably gloomy aura, and there was only one thought in my mind at that time, and that was to leave quickly." The fat man lay down again.
After listening to what the fat man said, I jumped up from the sofa at once: "I'll go and close the doors and windows, take a shower and sleep well." After I closed the doors and windows to make sure that they were correct, I took off the clothes I was wearing directly, and subconsciously took them in my hands and smelled them, there was really a smell of dead rats mixed with the smell of mold, thinking that it might be too long to stay in that room, the house was uninhabited all year round, the space was extremely narrow, and the air was not very circulating, all kinds of messy smells mixed with musty smell crowded inside, and some dead rats were normal, but the smell was an indescribable sense of depression.
I took a shower while thinking about what happened today, the hot water flowing down from the bath head was drenched on every inch of my skin, the sound of gurgling water passed by my ears, and the comfort from top to bottom blended into my whole body, and the fatigue and cold of the day were also swept away, and the whole person became extremely relaxed, unlike before, there was a feeling of rebirth, and the whole person was extremely relaxed.
I gently scrubbed my arm, suddenly felt an itchy pain, I subconsciously raised my arm to look, there was a strange pattern on the arm, it looks like a black diamond pattern with two pointed ends, I in order to look more carefully, then reached out and turned off the shower, wiped the pattern on the arm with a towel, look closely, there are three rings in the middle of the black diamond pattern, the outermost circle and the color of the diamond pattern are the same, are black, The inward direction is white and silver-gray, with the silver-gray ring in the center being the most prominent, and the whole pattern is roughly the size of two flat lids.
I stood in front of the mirror and wiped my face with a towel, propped up my hands, looked at myself in the mirror, and raised my hand to look at the strange pattern on my body, trying to scrub it off with my hands, only to find that this thing was like growing in flesh, no matter how I wiped it, it didn't change in the slightest, until I rubbed the skin too hard, and the blood hole the size of the needle's eye began to redden, I covered my arm and rubbed it, only to rub it two or three times, I suddenly found that the pain on my arm disappeared, I raised my hand again, The blood-red marks on my arm were gone, and my eyes widened for a moment, thinking I had been dazzled, but no matter how I looked, there was nothing on my arm except the diamond pattern.
I couldn't help but take a few steps back, remembered the events of the day, wrapped myself in a bath towel and rushed out of the room: "Fatty, you get up, I'll look at your arm." ”
The fat man was reading the villain book at the moment, and I threw the towel that wiped my head into the fat man's arms: "Don't look at it, lift your arm up." ”
"What? Why, I'm not good at that, I'm telling you, don't mess around. As he spoke, he threw the villain book on top of me and looked at me like a fool.
Probably due to the panic in my heart, I hurriedly wanted to confirm some things, and I didn't have time to explain more to the fat man, so I exposed my arm to the fat man and said, "Look, this is on me, I didn't have it before, you let me see your two arms." ”
