Things came much faster than I thought.

It's the whole seven again, and it's the fourth Friday. In the evening, Lei and Yuan each used a computer to surf the Internet, and I sat on their bed with a novel in my arms, but I couldn't read a word. Although Lei and I didn't mention it, we knew that tonight was going to be another difficult night. I was absent-mindedly turning the pages of my book, my mind full of strange things that had happened over the past few weeks. The circle drawn by the pen on the paper, the screaming black cat lying on the windshield, the woman in white next to the window, and the black shadow following Lei......

I was in a state of panic until half past ten in the evening, everything was calm and normal, and nothing happened for the time being. But I knew that the apparent calm was only an illusion, and that the most dangerous time was between half past ten and before dawn the next morning.

At this time, Lilai called and said that there were a lot of guests today, and she was too tired to wait for the bus, so she asked me to pick her up.

"What should I do?" I turned off the phone and called Lei out of the room, avoiding Yuan's questioning. He tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Go!" Anyway, I've had an accident at home just like going out by car, and it doesn't matter if I can't get out. ”

"You, are you going?" I hesitated. Even though it's only a five-minute drive, I can't help but feel a little intimidated at the thought of driving alone in the dark of night.

"I thought, every time something happens, we're together, wouldn't it be better to be separated?" Lei stared me in the eye and said, "I think I might as well try, even if the situation gets bad, it won't necessarily be much worse than the current situation." ”

I bowed my head silently, and was about to make a casual casual conversation to cheer myself up, when Yuan pushed open the door and came out: "Are you going to pick up Li?" Okay, okay, I'll go too. It's so stuffy at home! She laughs. For some reason, I've been feeling more and more that her smile is hypocritical and contrived, as if she's just smiling at people.

Lei looked at me and smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, let's all go together" He turned around and went back to the room to clean up.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Lei come out, so I pushed the door and went in. I saw Lei sitting in front of the computer display screen with the power off, staring at the display screen in a daze. "What's wrong?" I wondered.

Lei Huoran jumped up and looked back at me. His face was so contorted that I could barely recognize it! But before I could scream, I was back to normal, "It's nothing, let's go." He walked sideways past me, sweat glistening in the light from his forehead.

I turned around and saw Yuan standing by the door, looking at us with curious eyes.

"You're going to drive." Lei threw the key to me. I understood what he meant, he was afraid that he would suddenly not be able to drive while driving a ghost, and if he had a car accident, the problem would be serious. Although I have been involved in driving accidents, I still have the correct technical handling of the first puncture, and it is not my responsibility to get a puncture. The second time, although it may have been a ghost, I haven't forgotten about driving.

Nothing to say all the way. After receiving Li, she only said thank you to me lightly, and sat in the back and started chatting with Yuan. I suddenly felt indignant. Why is this happening? It's always been good before, and it's always been a lot of affection, and it's always been me. How so?!

It's all because of that cat! I thought hatefully.

What a life it would have been if it weren't for that cat.

It's the cat!

I had an urge to kill the cat! Kill the cat and everything will be solved. Kill the cat, and everything will be over, and Leigh will be reconciled with me.

If that black cat appeared in front of me right now, I would kill it without mercy! I think.

Lei didn't notice the change in my mood at all. From time to time, he also turned back to talk to the two girls behind him.

Why? Am I not even as good as Lei in your heart? I said to Leigh in my heart.

Right! It's the cat! I'm going to kill it!

The three of them suddenly burst into laughter, and Li's crisp voice continued in laughter, as if telling something interesting. But I didn't hear a word. I felt like my heart was being crushed under a hot iron plate, tormented.

Kill it! Be sure to kill it! The first time I got a flat tire because I avoided it. Why should I avoid it? If it had been killed at the time, where would there have been any follow-ups? If it dares to appear in front of the car, it can be killed by driving it. What if in the back of the car? Just hang it up in reverse gear and grind it into pate! Yes, that's it!

I eagerly searched around for the black cat. Lei noticed that the speed of the car was slowing down, turned around and patted me on the shoulder, as if to say the right thing is to drive slower, and then turned back to talk to the two girls. I smiled coldly, of course he couldn't have known my plan.

All the way to the door of the house, which is where the tire burst on the first day. I had a hunch that the cat was there, waiting for me there!

Slow down, turn, hit the steering wheel. Sure enough, the black cat appeared in the middle of the road. It squatted on the ground, its two turquoise eyes flickering in the headlights, glowing like a graveyard ghostfire.

Your time of death has come! I screamed triumphantly and slammed the accelerator to the end! The other three let out an exclamation in unison, and I didn't pay any attention to it. The black cat scurried back to the right and dodged. It's not that easy! I quickly tapped the brakes, slammed the steering wheel, and kicked the accelerator again. The black cat scurried to the left and glanced back. Dare to watch! I was furious, and followed to the left, and the cat ran to the right, and ran to the sidewalk lined with large trees. I hurriedly followed, and kicked the accelerator hard. With the roar of the engine, the car is about to catch up with the cat.

The black cat ran frantically forward to run for its life, but it was getting closer and closer to me, and I could even smell the blood that had crushed it, but suddenly its body turned around in the air in an incredible way in the rapid run, dodging a big tree in front of it. I couldn't dodge, I didn't even have time to brake.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the car slammed straight into the tree. My head was thrown forward with a force and my nose hit the steering wheel. Suddenly, I couldn't lift my eyelids from a piercing pain. I touched my nose with my hand, and the numbness around my nose was not as good as it was still on my face, and I didn't feel anything. Touching it up, fortunately, the bridge of the nose was not deformed, but the hand was immediately soaked with something, and when I saw it, it was a nosebleed.

Lei is fine, my nose is fine, just a simple bandage to stop the bleeding. The car turned out to be no big problem, just a large piece of the bumper was concave. The two girls are suffering from neck pain. Lei and I hurriedly sent the two girls to the hospital, and after tossing for a long time, we were diagnosed with a muscle strain, no major problem, and we would be fine after a few days of rest.

Coming out of the hospital, the four were silent. It's a short walk from the hospital parking lot. As I walked, I regretted my madness, but no one spoke of it, and no one asked me why I was so crazy. I sensed that everyone seemed to be wary and kept a distance from me. Lei looked at me exactly the same way he looked at me the last time he saw me driving frantically, I opened my mouth to explain, but he gave me a look, and I immediately reacted that I couldn't let the two girls know the inside story. I tried to hold Li's hand, but she shook it off mercilessly.

Passing by a chimney in the hospital, streams of white steam slowly swayed out from the chimney mouth, like one devil after another under the starlight. The boiler room under the chimney was whining. Through the windows, you can see the dim and old yellow light inside.

Suddenly, a strange smell penetrated through the bandaged cotton cloth into my nostrils, and I immediately wanted to gag, but I felt that I had smelled it somewhere. I looked back at the three of them, and they all walked briskly with their nostrils covered.

"Do you know what this place is?" Lei suddenly opened his mouth to ask me, I was a little strange, because he just gave me a look not to speak, it seems that he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and finally couldn't help it.

I looked blankly at the chimney and thought of something, but couldn't tell.

"This is the crematorium, burning the sick and dead," Lei said in as calm a voice as he could, but his voice trembled with the trembling of his lips, "burn theirs—clothes too!"

In an instant, I could tell what he was talking about! I also understand where I've smelled this weird stench – that's from our clothes! The stench in the crematorium is exactly the same as the stench on our clothes!

That's the stench of corpses!

Back in the car, Leigh said to Lei, who was sitting in the driver's seat, "Please take me to the nearest hotel." Lei just wanted to open his mouth to say something, but Li immediately turned back to me and said, "I'm sorry, we broke up." I'll pick up my stuff tomorrow. But," she paused, "the clothes are no longer needed." Her eyes were as cold as a knife.

If what happened before was anything but dangerous, what happened this time really affected my real life. I believe that the first few events were not a thrill, but a foreshadowing of the future. So will this incident be a prelude to the next greater disaster? Now it seems that the answer is undoubtedly yes.

Li Yaoyuan stayed in a hotel with her, so only Lei and I went home for the night. On the way I tried to distract myself, trying not to think about the fact that Leigh had left me. So I asked Lei: "Before I went out, I saw you sitting in front of the computer in a daze, looking frightened." Did you see something? ”

Lei didn't answer, didn't look at me, didn't seem to hear what I was saying, and just drove silently. Suddenly, I felt a wave of fear fill my heart.

It wasn't until he arrived home safely and turned off the fire that Lei slowly spoke: "What happened to the crash just now?" You look like you want to crush the cat, don't you? What do you think? ”

I slowly recalled, telling him about the mental activity I had just had.

Lei muttered, "I didn't expect it to be like this. It seems that the pen fairy can still control his thinking. He sighed: "Actually, if you don't talk about it, I've already guessed eight or nine." I didn't answer your question just now because I didn't dare. I'm afraid that something will happen to me, you must know that we are all from other places to study, and if there is a car accident, there will not even be a corpse collector. ”

There was another cat's meow from the thunder mountain behind me, and it was tragic and terrible: "Meow-meow-meow-" The sharp sound seemed to pierce my eardrum and grind directly against my ear bones. I sat in the car and didn't dare to move, as if my body was not my own.

After the cat's voice stopped, Lei continued: "I closed the computer just now, and from the reflection of the monitor, I saw that behind me," he swallowed, "There was a man in black standing." He...... His face is only half visible from the monitor, his mouth, smiling. ”

I looked at him and felt a chill run down my back, and I looked behind him and couldn't see anything. Lei smiled miserably: "That's why I insist on asking you to drive." Because I know that the demon has come, at least it has come to me. I'm just afraid that I'll have an accident while driving, and I can't think of you...... However, there is one thing that I don't mean to scare you, but judging by what has happened these few times, it seems that your situation is more serious than mine. ”

That night we went to the supermarket and bought countless drinks, and the two of us got relatively drunk.

The next day, Rei and Yuan went home together to get their luggage. Unexpectedly, Leigh also brought a man with her. I was in agony and desperately suppressed the urge to rush up and knock one of the swaggering guys to the ground. Unexpectedly, Li's words made me speechless: "Don't look at me like that, this is Yuan's new boyfriend." ”

These words poured down like a basin of ice water, dousing my anger. But I know it's like a bolt from the blue for Lei. I looked back at Lei, and his eyes were still as calm as ever, as if everything was in his anticipation. It's just that his face is a little paler, and he can't see it at all if he doesn't look closely.

Yuanxin's boyfriend swaggered in, and actually walked around the rooms as if visiting. I followed him closely, glancing at Lei out of the corner of my eye, and as soon as he gave me the slightest hint, I would kick this guy's waist off immediately. But Lei never looked at me, just crossed his hands coldly, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him. Yuanxin's boyfriend walked into the bedroom, saw the mirror on the bedside, and suddenly gasped: "Huh? Make no mistake, why did you hang a mirror in this place? It's very wicked to hang mirrors in this place. Generally speaking, "he seems to want to show something," this position is all about hanging something auspicious, even if nothing is better than hanging a mirror. Oh my God, there's one in this room too! Hey? It's still on the wall! It's terrible, it's a big murderer! Why don't you find a way to take the mirror off yet! He said in a commanding tone, but when he saw my eyes, he quickly changed to a smiling face. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else," he sneered, "but I'm good for you." He smiled maliciously: "If you don't listen to me again, maybe you will encounter even more unlucky things." ”

Lei grabbed my raised fist from behind, pointed his index finger at the guy's chest, gestured to the door, and said one word: "Get out!" ”

Yuan, who had been packing her luggage on the side, stood up, and Li pulled her twice, so the two of them buried their heads in packing their luggage again. Lei Zizi returned to the couch, frowning, staring at the mirror on the wall, as if thinking about something. Until we left, the two girls never said a word to us, and stayed away from us like a plague god. Lei also sat on the sofa and didn't move again. I noticed that he didn't look at Yuan the whole time.

I sent the two girls out alone, Yuan glanced at me, and walked away without looking back, throwing down a sentence as she went: "What's the big deal?" I just can't get used to that guy's self-righteous look on his face......"

Leigh put down her luggage and looked back, only to realize that her eyes were actually red.

"I ...... Gone," she said, bowing her head, "take care of yourself, take care of yourself......"

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say a word.

"You, be careful when driving," she continued, after a pause, "I think you'd better stay in this house." ”

I couldn't help but reach out and touch her teardrop face, but she turned away as if she was suddenly surprised, picked up her luggage and turned away, hurriedly walked a few steps, and then looked back at me one last time: "Go, bye-bye." ”
