Chapter Eighty-Six: Mental Effects
Sitting on the bus, Xu Ertong's eyes kept staring out the window, and the figures back and forth kept passing in his eyes. There was also a girl sitting next to him, eight or nine years old, with a pair of beautiful eyes that were smart and energetic, and at this moment she was blinking those big eyes, staring at Xu Ertong.
"I said Li Xin! Your home doesn't seem to be going in this direction. Xu Ertong suddenly turned his face to look at Li Xin, "If you follow me like this, aren't you afraid that your family will worry." ”
Li Xin shook his head, but he was very interested in Xu Ertong's whereabouts.
"Wherever you go, I'll go."
Xu Ertong's face suddenly turned straight, and he said seriously: "Classmate Li Xin, are you really not afraid of your family's worries?" ”
Li Xin shook his head lightly and said, "You are not afraid, why should I be afraid." ”
Xu Ertong nodded with satisfaction and praised: "You have the demeanor of a woman, then let me ask you, are you afraid of the dark?" ”
Li Xin shook like a rattle, and her big eyes were shining.
"What do you want to do?"
Xu Ertong suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"Wait a minute, I'll take you somewhere."
On Chaoping Street, the No. 2 bus slowly stopped, Xu Ertong got off the bus with Li Xin, and walked straight in the direction ahead.
"Ertong! What are you doing here, I've heard that a man died on this street late at night. Li Xin suddenly stopped and pulled Xu Ertong.
"I know, it's a pregnant woman." Xu Ertong also stopped, looked back at Li Xin suspiciously, and raised two black eyebrows, "Are you afraid?" ”
Li Xin's face turned straight and said, "Who would be afraid!" In fact, she was so scared that her little heart was pounding.
"That's good! You are waiting for me here. Xu Ertong didn't care if she was really not afraid, she raised her foot and walked to a nearby convenience store.
"Hey! Xu Ertong, you wait, I'll go too! Li Xin suddenly felt a chill behind him, shrunk his neck, and caught up with Ertong as he spoke. I often look behind me, for fear that a shadow will suddenly appear beside me.
Because there have been dead people on this street, the yin qi is also relatively strong, I don't know if it is Li Xin's illusion, she always feels that there is a figure around her blowing cold air on her, and her face instantly turns pale.
After Xu Ertong finished shopping, when he turned his head, he suddenly saw that Li Xin's expression was wrong, and after a closer look, he found that her little hands were a little trembling.
This little girl must have been scared.
couldn't help but say, Xu Ertong took her little hand and walked towards the platform. Li Xin's dissatisfied voice came from his ears.
"Xu Ertong, why are you pulling me?" Li Xin's big eyes looked at Ertong suspiciously.
"Send you home!" Xu Ertong said with a serious face.
"I'm not going home, it's still early, and there's no one at home." Li Xin broke away from Xu Ertong's hand.
"If you don't go back, I'm afraid you'll be scared half to death after a while." Saying that, Xu Ertong also made a grimace to scare her.
"You're not vicious at all when you're scary, so I'm not afraid of you." Looking at that cute grimace, Li Xin suddenly burst into laughter.
Xu Ertong sighed helplessly, it seems that his appearance just now is indeed not scary enough. However, Li Xin was determined to follow him, and Xu Ertong had no choice, so he couldn't drive her away.
After this joke, Li Xin's mood is also much better, she looked at this boy who is much taller than herself, and suddenly wondered, in her impression, Xu Ertong has always been mysterious, she has never seen his family, and she can always find some big people around him, such as the police of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the executives of Tianwei Group.
"Li Xin! What do you mean by looking at me like this, do you have a flower on my face? Xu Ertong touched his face suspiciously, and felt that there was nothing unusual on his face, so he looked at her again.
Li Xin shook his head and buried the doubts in his mind: "You didn't tell me, what are you doing on this street?" ”
After Li Xin's reminder, Xu Ertong came to his senses and still had something to do.
"That's right! Be careful for a moment and don't make a sound. ”
"What the hell are you going to do?" Li Xinhu said suspiciously, she had asked many times, but she never got a response from Xu Ertong.
"You'll know when you go." Xu Ertong grinned, and the smile on his face was both immature and mysterious.
The two walked more than 100 meters and walked into the community as if nothing had happened. There are three buildings in this complex, the tallest of which is more than 20 floors. And the direction Xu Ertong walked was the floor where he died that night.
Entering the door, the security guards saw that the two of them were elementary school students, so they didn't pay much attention to them, but glanced at the two of them and looked away.
Xu Ertong held Li Xin's little hand, just like his brother and sister, one tall and one short, envious of others.
At this time, there were only two people in the elevator room, and I don't know if it was because of the death, there was always a yin aura lingering in the stairwell.
The two of them took the elevator up to the highest floor, the eighteenth floor, only one floor away from the roof.
At this time, Li Xin's little hands were a little trembling, her face was exactly the same as when she was walking on Chaoping Street, her little face was pale, panicked, and her eyes were looking everywhere, after all, she was still an eight or nine-year-old girl, and she could bear the gloom here. Xu Ertong could also feel that the atmosphere at this time was very weird, and it seemed to be much more gloomy than outside the street.
The elevator suddenly clanged, the door slowly pushed open, and Xu Ertong and Li Xin walked out with broken steps.
The doors to the top of the building are on either side of the building, one on the left and the other on the right.
Xu Ertong walked in front cautiously, chewing gum in his mouth, and when he saw the monitor hanging on the wall, he spit out the gum in his mouth and ejected it directly onto the glass mirror of the monitor.
This bullet immediately stuck to the lens above.
Xu Ertong slapped the saliva on his palm and said to Li Xin behind him.
"It's almost there!"
"Ertong, I feel like we're thieves, sneaking around." Li Xin tiptoed behind Xu Ertong, and after a while, with the movement of his steps, he finally walked up to the stairwell on the left.
Xu Ertong's eyes froze, and he said seriously: "We call it exploring the truth, and we are not informal." ”
Li Xinhu glanced at Ertong suspiciously, remained silent, and continued to follow him.
In front of it is an iron door, the lock is very new, and there is still a characteristic smell of the packaging box on it, which seems to have just been replaced.
"And so it was!" After seeing the lock on the iron door, Xu Ertong touched his nose thoughtfully.
"What do you mean!" Li Xin took a closer look, pointed to the door lock, and said, "You came here from afar, just to see this lock?" ”
Xu Ertong raised his index finger and shook it in the air, and said, "Of course not, do you know why I will come here?" ”
Li Xin was simple-minded, where could he guess Ertong's thoughts, shook his head, and said, "I don't know." ”
"Then I'll tell you." Xu Ertong suddenly smiled, stared at Li Xin and said, "There were people who died in this building today, and the location is here." ”
"Ah" Li Xin was suddenly taken aback, his little hand instantly grabbed the corner of Xu Ertong's clothes, probed his brain and hid behind Ertong, his eyes looked around in horror, and suddenly felt a yin wind coming, and his body shook involuntarily, "Then you are still here." ”
Xu Ertong smiled: "Are you afraid, I said that I would scare you half to death later." ”
"Ertong, why don't we get out of here first, I feel that this place is gloomy." Li Xin kept shaking the corners of Ertong's clothes and looked around in horror. She regretted a little that she had followed Xu Ertong here.
Xu Ertong smiled and waved his hand, and said to Li Xin: "Those are all psychological effects, as long as you don't think about it deliberately, you won't be afraid in your heart, and those inexplicable feelings will be solved." Li Xin, you think about something happy, try it. ”
Li Xin looked at Ertong suspiciously, and then recalled those happy past events in his mind, and after a while, he felt that those gloomy feelings disappeared.
She sighed, "I don't think I really feel that way anymore." ”
Then she blinked her big eyes and looked at Ertong: "Ertong, how do you know so much, I feel that I am not at the same age as you."
Xu Ertong just smiled, did not reply, but took out a wire, skillfully inserted into the keyhole, and after two seconds, the door lock clicked, and it was directly opened by him.
Li Xin looked at Xu Ertong's unlocking action in shock, both a little surprised and a little incredible.
Why did he pick the lock? Could it be that he is a thief?
Thinking back to the policemen who often appeared around him, after a while, the word thief flashed in Li Xin's mind.
"Xu Ertong, you won't be here to steal things, right?"
As soon as he thought that he had followed Ertong to steal things, Li Xin's face suddenly turned red.
"Li Xin, what nonsense are you talking about, is my Ertong that kind of person." Xu Ertong suddenly frowned, glanced at Li Xin behind him, and then pushed open the iron door and walked out of the inner door.
Li Xin also walked out, and said as he walked: "Then why did you pick the lock." ”
Xu Ertong turned his head and glanced at Li Xin behind him. "Whoever said he could pick the lock, he must be a thief, is it the boss who drives?"
Xu Ertong said this, Li Xin was stunned for a moment, yes, those who can unlock the lock are not necessarily all thieves.
"Then what are you doing here, you can't say it's here to see the scenery." In order to alleviate the embarrassment in her heart, Li Xin had to change the topic to another topic.
Xu Ertong suddenly beckoned to Li Xin behind him and said, "Li Xin! Come and help me. ”
Li Xin ran over with broken steps, and when he saw the cigarette lighter Xu Ertong was holding in his hand, he couldn't help but be stunned, and glanced at Ertong with disdain.
"Ertong, are you secretly learning to smoke?"
"It's not! to others" Xu Ertong is colorful.
"Ahh Li Xin's face turned red, "Mom said that girls had better not learn to smoke, that would be bad for their health." ”
Thinking that Li Xin had misunderstood what he meant, Xu Ertong immediately shook his head and said, "It's not for you to smoke!" ”
"And who are you pumping?" Li Xin's little heart suddenly pounded, and when he looked around at the empty roof, there was no first three people except for the two of them. As soon as he thought of this, his pink face instantly turned pale again.
"Xu Ertong, don't tell me, are you pumping for them?" Li Xin shuddered and pointed to the air around him.
Xu Ertong glared at Li Xin: "Don't guess, this is just for me to suck myself." Actually, he wanted to say that it was for another self.
"Then you say you're not learning to smoke." Li Xin said angrily.
"Suck and pump are two concepts, you don't understand it, just watch it." Ertong lit the cigarette, and then brought it to Li Xin, "You help me take it, the cigarette butt is facing the sky." ”
Li Xinhu took the cigarette suspiciously, not knowing what Ertong was going to do next.
Then she looked shocked and looked at Ertong blankly.
Xu Ertong leaned his face over, inhaled a wisp of white smoke deeply with his nose, and the heavy smell of smoke flowed down his nose into his lungs, his brain became blank, and everything in front of him became blurry.
Li Xin looked at Ertong's strange appearance, called his name softly, and then saw that he had no reaction, so he was so frightened that he threw the cigarette in his hand directly on the ground.
"Ertong!" She called Ertong's name again, but saw Ertong slowly stand up without turning a deaf ear, looking around blankly.
White smoke rises, seemingly summoning the dead spirits.
The scene on the roof of the building quickly turned into late night, the lights were bright, and the two iconic buildings stood tall, at this moment Xu Ertong seemed to be in the scene of that night.
