Originally, I wanted to take a break and set off again, but Jiang Lian was urging over and over again.

There was no choice but to rush to his city as fast as possible.

When he saw Jiang Lian, he looked haggard, with a sallow face, thick dark circles, and he couldn't even straighten his back.

"Isn't it," I sighed, "is it so hard to do research?" ”

Jiang Lian complained: "Whatever is work, it is harmed by that thing." As he said this, he also stole a glance to both sides.

So let's get down to business, I asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Jiang Lian looked left and right with palpitations, and whispered: "I don't know when it started, walking on the side of the road, I always feel that there is someone watching in the flower bed or in the grass." ”

"But when I look back, there's nothing."

"When I'm working, I always feel like someone is watching from a distance, but when I look up, it's empty."

I thought about it and laughed: "Could it be that you masturbated too much, dazzling?" ”

"Are you still in the mood for a joke at this time?" Jiang Lian was a little unhappy.

"When I sleep at night, the floor at home always makes a 'pop' sound, like someone walking barefoot. I heard this very well, and it was not a hallucination. ”

I said, "Isn't this explained early, because there is mold in the floor, and the stressed steel bars that have been eroded by the mold bounce back and forth, creating a crackling sound." ”

"Big brother, can you be serious?" Jiang Lian was really angry: "As a scientific research worker, I won't even know this?" ”

"Moreover, the bounce of steel is the sound of marbles falling to the ground, and someone in my house is walking barefoot."

I asked, "Have you been to any particular places lately, or have you done anything unpleasant?" ”

Jiang Lian glanced at me: "I have done a lot of good things, but I haven't done bad things, and I go home from work every day." ”

"Okay," I said, standing up, "I'll see when I go back to your house." ”

said it was home, but it was actually a house rented by Jiang Lian.

The house is in an urban village in the center of the city, a small two-storey building.

The age is relatively long, and the house looks a little old.

The first floor was rented out as a warehouse, and Jiang Lian lived on the second floor.

After entering the door, because the surrounding floors are very dense, the lighting and ventilation of the house are not very good, and it looks a little shady.

The stairwell was even more gray, and the few white sheathed wires on the wall were conspicuous.

Because the design was not reasonable, the stairs at the corner were not of the same height, and I tripped under my feet and almost fell.

After going upstairs, there is a living room.

There was a table in the corner of the living room with an incense burner on the table.

The incense burner was filled with a few burnt incense sticks, and the table top was covered with dust.

I looked up and saw a nail on the wall of the incense burner.

This nail was supposed to be used to hang the portrait, and there were tenants renting it, so the portrait was removed.

Entering the room, I casually asked, "Have you ever done anything strange here?" ”

"What can I do?" Jiang Lian said: "I'm so busy every day, and when I come back, I just want to sleep, what else can I do." ”

I frowned.

It seems that there is no direct contact, but if it is not for the resentment, the ghost will not directly harm people.

It will take advantage of people's fear, affect people's luck, reduce people's resistance, and even do things that harm themselves.

It can be seen from Jiang Lian's unguarded appearance.

Since it's here, let's solve the problem.

"You have two rooms here, I'll stay here at night."

Someone was bold, and Jiang Lian's eyes lit up a lot.

The two of them ate a few side dishes, drank some wine, blew about it, and went to sleep separately.

I'm not a very arrogant person, so I can't drink much.

The classmates were happy to meet each other, drank a little and then fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, and my throat burned panic.

Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and had to drink some water.

Slowly opening his eyes, the moonlight was reflected through the curtains.

Suddenly, a figure stood beside the bed.

I was shocked, drank and sat up.

Humanity made a silencing gesture: "Shhh ”

It turned out to be Jiang Lian.

I reached out and pulled him over and whispered, "Why don't you sleep?" ”

Jiang Lian pointed out the door: "Listen." ”

I listened to it closely, and in the mottled night, the sound of 'popping' outside the door was particularly crisp.

I lifted the quilt and got out of bed, Jiang Lian pulled me: "Don't open the altar or something?" ”

With a wave of my hand, I walked softly behind the door and slammed it open.

The sound of "popping" came to an abrupt end.

Looking around in the dark, there was no real shadow or phantom.

"This," I said aloud, "if you have any demands, you can let us know, don't be so scary in the middle of the night." ”

There was still silence outside the door.

I continued: "Just joking in moderation, you will be punished for ruining our luck, and don't blame me for not reminding us then." ”

There was no response in the dark.

I closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed and waited for a while, but the 'pop' sound didn't sound again.

I can tolerate the pain, even the itch, but I can't resist the alcohol.

After a while, tiredness hit me and I yawned.

Jiang Lian suddenly got into the quilt: "I'll sleep here tonight." ”

I answered the call and fell asleep.

There was a lot of noise outside the cultivation, and I didn't want to open my eyes, but my body was cold.

Jiang Lian, this kid, swept the quilt away again.

I reached out and grabbed the air, and when I looked down, my tentacles were cold and stiff.

I sat up violently and found that I was sleeping on the ground by the door, and Jiang Lian was sleeping soundly on the bed.

It's that cramp again.

I stood at the door and said loudly, "I know you may be playing too hard, but this is hurting others and yourself, so I advise you to go back to where you are supposed to be." ”

Jiang Lian was woken up by me, sat up and rubbed his eyes: "What are you doing there?" ”

I replied lightly, "I didn't do anything." ”

Then he asked, "Do you feel someone following you when you go to work during the day?" ”

"Yes."

In general, the spirit's thoughts or grievances are limited.

This is also the reason why those ghosts with grievances are eager for revenge.

The longer the time drags on, the more the resentment dissipates, and the less powerful the ghost will be.

Not to mention the daytime when the yang energy is abundant, it is even more taboo for ghosts.

But this narrow ghost actually follows Jiang Lian during the day, what is he going to do?

Jiang Lian's scientific research institute belongs to a secret unit, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to enter it.

Just in time I can continue to rest and try to catch that cramp at night.

During the day, there was a lot of noise outside, but there was a dead silence inside the house.

When Jiang Lian came back in the evening, he still had to squeeze a bed with me.

I whispered, "I'm going to catch him tonight and stay in a room, what if he doesn't come?" So it's better to separate? ”

"You're asking me to be bait?"

"What a bait, that one has been following you all along."

Although reluctant, in order to settle it once and for all, Jiang Lian still went back to his room.

The city gradually calmed down after a day of hustle and bustle, no sound came in, and the house looked even more deserted.

While the quilt was being pulled, the temperature in the room dropped to freezing.

My hair stood on end, and I clung to the chain of river crossings, nervously scanning my surroundings.

Suddenly, a sigh came from the side of the curtain.

I turned my head sharply, but I saw a long hair hanging down, and I couldn't see my body.

Before he could see it, his hair disappeared in an instant, but an old laugh sounded above his head.

Looking up, an old woman grinning on the ceiling.

The old woman's figure is very strange, square, only above the chest, and it looks like a photo.

Photo?

I think of the nail when I entered the door, isn't it just a portrait on the ceiling?

I faintly said, "At such an age, is it funny to make such a fuss?" ”

The image vanished, and the piece slowly oozes blood.

I clung to the chain of river crossings to see what the hell she was trying to do.

The more the blood seeped, the more it slowly formed a line of words: You are not welcome to live here.

I sneered and continued to watch his performance.

There was a gloomy laugh all around, and a chill came down my temples.

I clenched the river chain and listened quietly, this ghost seemed to have some means, and his body was full of yin laughter, and he couldn't tell the direction at all.

The blood from the ceiling seeped down, pulling blood strands, and it looked shocking.

The blood finally couldn't hold it back, and the blood fell down drippingly, turning into white smoke and snorting on the floor in front of me.

White smoke envelops the calves, making people feel cold to the bone.

There was a sound of 'popping' footsteps around him, but there was nothing when he looked around.

This ghost's methods are so clever that I won't be allowed to see it, regardless of the virtual entity?

I listened closely, and the 'pop' sound seemed to be coming from behind me.

turned around sharply, only to see a pair of bloody legs on the ground.

Before I could react, the legs vanished instantly.

The blood was still oozing from the ceiling, and I finally couldn't help it, and the chain of river crossings swung and smashed against the ceiling. The blood was instantly sucked back from the ceiling until it dried up completely, and everything was back to normal.

Jiang Lian heard the movement and hurriedly ran over: "How is it, how is it?" ”

I said, "You are not welcome to live here, so I think you should move in." ”

Jiang Lian said with a bitter face: "My brother, if I could move, I would have moved a long time ago." ”

"I rented for half a year, the rent and deposit have already been paid, and now I have only lived for three months, you let me move?"

"You know the situation in my family, how dare you spend a penny?"

I smiled bitterly: "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”

"I'm more afraid of being poor." Jiang Lian was indignant.

After thinking about it for a moment, I said, "Then contact the landlord and see whose portrait is on the nail." ”

As soon as the morning dawned, Jiang Lian contacted the landlord.

Hearing that the house was not clean, the landlord was very displeased: "Xiaojiang, you want to quit the rent." You can refund at any time if you want, but the rent deposit is not refundable. ”

"Uncle, I didn't want to quit the rent," Jiang Lian said, "But your mother is always making such trouble, no one can stand it." ”

After hearing my description of the portrait, Jiang Lian tacitly assumed that the old woman was the landlord's mother.

"My mom is messing with you?" The landlord was even more unhappy: "You are insane, how many years has my mother had a stroke, and she has been sick in bed, how can you make trouble?" ”

Jiang Lian was puzzled: "What about the old woman last night?" ”

"What old woman?" The landlord was impatient.

I stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, whose portrait was hung in the living room on the second floor before?" ”

"Our old man has been dead for more than ten years."

"How did the old man die?"

"How else can you die, old and dead."
