"What are you doing?" I wondered.

"Burn books! Don't you see? He looked angry.

"Yes. It really should be burned! It's time to burn! Ahh

"Fuck, wasted two weeks of my time...... Lei muttered, "...... It's useless at all......"

I ran back to the living room, opened a bottle of wine and ran back to hand it to him. He then threw it out the window without looking.

"What? If you don't drink, don't drink, don't say it sooner! Waste! Hmph, kindness is not rewarded, I knew I drank it myself......"

"Can you say less nonsense? No one treats you as a mute. When are you still drinking today? ”

I know he's in a bad mood and too lazy to argue with him. After all, it's not a pleasant thing to put in a great effort and not get something in return. So I ran back to the living room, opened a bottle of wine, and sat down on the floor. Unexpectedly, Lei ran out after him, and he snatched the wine from my hand.

"What for?" I said angrily, "Don't you let others drink if you don't drink it?" Are you burning books to vent, and you want to use me to vent?! ”

Lei was slightly stunned and said, "Alas, I'm too lazy to tell you." Anyway, now you can't drink it! Something to do in a moment. When I've burned all those raushs, I'll have something to say to you. He hurried back to the bathroom.

Got something to do? He seemed to have said the same thing last week. Ignore him and continue as usual. By the time he finished burning, I was already eating almost two more bottles of wine. Squinting, he was slowly plating in, his face probably flushed from the fire.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" I'm already slightly drunk.

"Listen," he said, staring into my eyes, his eyes shining with a strange light, "those books are really useless. But I've figured one thing out. ”

"What's the matter?"

"How did that black cat die?"

"Ghost killing."

"No, the ghost can't kill it at all! It's the one that specializes in killing ghosts! ”

"How did that die?"

He looked at me coldly: "He died unjustly, he was framed and died, and he died in an extremely insidious conspiracy trap!" ”

"W-What trap?"

He said word by word: "You killed it!" ”

I shivered, and the strength of the wine turned into a cold sweat from the 3,600 pores of my body. "You...... You are talking nonsense, how could it be that I killed it?! ”

"You really killed it. There is no better explanation than that. I've finally figured it out," he stood right in front of me, breathing strangely fast, "and your words woke me up just now - 'You're using me to vent'!" I didn't take advantage of you, it was the devil who took advantage of you. Ghosts can't kill cats at all, but they can remove this obstacle through you, under the guise of your hand! So the ghost picked you and used you as their murder weapon to kill the cat! Ever since you got lost, the ghost has known that it will be difficult to deal with us while the black cat is around, so the first time the ghost got on you and encouraged you to drive and crush the cat. But it didn't work out. ”

He looked at me, and I couldn't see the usual calmness in his eyes, but the madness that I had never seen before, and my heart became more and more uneasy: "What ...... So? ”

"So, the second time, in the dream, the female ghost repeated several times to show you how to kill the cat. She's teaching you, teaching you how to kill cats! They were premeditated. Remember last week? That morning I saw the cat's trail and chased it out. The female ghost is right away from you. The black cat senses that something is wrong and comes back to you. But you caught it at the hint of the ghost and killed it. You hold it by the neck so it can't catch you, then press it into the toilet tank and drown it alive. It vomits all the blood on its body when it is dying, in order to leave a mark on you. So that others know who killed it! It was you who killed it! That's why you have blood on your hands! That's why the blood in the toilet tank dripped all the way from the floor to your bed, to your hands! "Lei's face is indescribably hideous and terrifying, this is not the Lei I know! He's been ghosted! I was so frightened that I couldn't say a word, and my hands unconsciously crossed in front of my face, hoping to block the aggressive approaching "him".

"You killed him! He did everything he could to protect you, but you killed this loyal friend and dutiful guard with your own hands! Do you know what I'm talking about? Kindness? "His" voice changed, thicker, lower and hoarse, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and a cat-like "purr" sound came from his throat, "Tell you quietly, little friend." In fact, you killed the wrong one, you killed actually Lei! ”

"Ahh

"Yes, you killed Lei. Lei has actually been dead for almost a week," he said viciously, "aren't you afraid that those blood stains are Lei's?" Tell you, that's Lei! I'm not an idiot! Hmph, don't think you're planning this very well, I've been aware of it for a long time! The first time you stinky bitch wanted to drive into me, I already knew that! ”

"What...... Stinky bitch? ”

"Pretending to be stupid!" He stretched out his right hand and grabbed my head with his claws, and suddenly I felt five hot streaks on my head. His nails are so hard!

"Stinky bitch, smug aren't you? The conspiracy succeeded, isn't it ......?" "He" attacked me in the face with two claws in a row. "Where's your stinky husband? Where did the death go? Kindness? Can you hide from me? Lao Tzu cleaned up one by one! Fight me? Look how Lao Tzu killed you today! ......" "His" two hard "front paws" kept attacking my head, so painful, it was so strong, I couldn't fight back. I had to roll on the ground, dodging its ferocious attack while shouting and explaining, "You're mistaken, I'm human!" I'm not that female ghost! That hasn't been on me yet...... Help me...... I didn't mean to kill you...... Whining...... I don't remember at all, woo......" I started crying.

"What? Ha, scared, don't dare to admit it? Its voice gradually became indistinct, but the attack became more aggressive, "Huh, is it human?" It's people who want to die! Dare to kill me? Let you taste the taste of being unjustly killed today! Suddenly, it roared in the sky, and it was the terrible and tragic voice: "Meow-" slammed down on me, opened its bloody mouth, and bit my neck tightly!

"Ahh

Suddenly, the "it" that was pressing on me loosened. A calm and familiar voice rang in my ears: "I'm sorry to scare you." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and when I looked up, the familiar Lei was in front of me again. He smiled and tossed a roll of toilet paper at my feet and lit a cigarette himself: "Why don't you go to the toilet and clean things up." ”

"Cat...... What about cats? "I was terrified, searching.

"No cats. The black cat had been dead for almost a week. ”

"You...... You ......"

"It's me, no cat." Lei's eyes did not have the madness just now, but instead he was as calm as ever.

"You...... Why are you ......" I breathed a sigh of relief, then turned into rage, "I fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations!" Why do you want to do this! ”

"Hey, it's weird to be afraid of ghosts, cats, and people. I'll give you an explanation, of course. But you've got to clean up your crotch first, it stinks! Lei covered his nose and shook his head repeatedly.

"Of course I didn't become a cat," Lei brought me a cup of hot tea when I was done cleaning up, "and I pretended to be it." I'm not trying to scare you, I'm not trying to test my acting skills, I'm just having to do an experiment for my own safety. ”

"Experiments? You say it's an experiment? ”

"It's an experiment. It's also a ploy. Because I'm afraid of being known by the devil, I've detected their plot - the one who killed the cat. What I said earlier is true, and your words remind me - use! This is a poisonous plan to kill a cat with a knife! Since you can kill cats very smoothly, it must be very useful to kill people. So I have to guard against you. However, I guess at least they hadn't thought it would kill people so far, so I'd just go ahead and strike first. ”

"I really killed that cat?"

"It's not you! It's you who became a puppet after being ghosted! You are in a state of sleep and are killed by the cat, completely unconscious. So it's not you at all! But that's what I'm afraid of, and I'm doing crazy things without even realizing it. So my other purpose is to test you to see if you've just been ghosted. You must know that today is an extraordinary time, and in seven days, you may be ghosted at any time. Of course, the end result shows that it's clear that you're not ghosted. Since you're not ghosted, it's easy to do! ”

"What's so easy to do?"

"Because today we really have to do one thing in a down-to-earth way. It's not time yet, so close your eyes and rest for a while. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Okay, okay, it's okay to tell you first. You see," Lei said, "I managed to find out the root of the black cat, but it died first. Last week was supposed to be a great opportunity for us to find the black cat. Now the only clue is broken. That's why I'm so angry about burning books: a whole bunch of rubbish, not a word is useful. Come to think of it, I think we have only one way to go. ”

"What way?"

"Please! Pen! Immortal! Lei said word by word, "Please pen fairy again." ”

Ignoring my hoarse protests, Lei methodically turned off the lights, lit candles in the four corners of the square table, and took out paper and pen - the pen used for the first summoning spirit, which had been abandoned all along, and I don't know where he found it.

"No, I'm not going to play that stuff anymore...... "I was so exhausted that I could only lie on the ground and hum. Lei grabbed me by the collar and dragged me off the ground: "Listen! It's not playing, it's a save! Save our own lives! This is an opportunity we have now! Think about it, seven days and seven days, each time more terrible than the last. From the very beginning of the horror to the ghost gradually appeared, and now even the black cat that protected us is dead! To do nothing like you is to wait for death! I have a hunch that if we continue to drag it out like this indifferently, until the next day, that is, the seventh seven days, you and I will probably be doomed. We have to do something to undo it. It's only the sixth Friday, and even if it doesn't work out this time, we still have a week's chance! ”

I was speechless, his words were right. So I had to nod my head dejectedly, and Lei added: "If the pen fairy comes in a while, you don't have to speak, just let me say hello." I've thought about the questions to ask. ”

"Shall I take an hour's rest?" I was on the verge of collapse.

"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, please come, Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, please come......"

We sat across from each other at the table, the pen between our two overlapping hands. If there is a word in the mouth, it should be a spell to summon the spirit.

“…… Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come, Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come ......"

It was cold, and I couldn't stop shivering despite the addition of clothes. The hands were cold and shivering. But Lei's warm, dry hand calmed me down a bit, and I looked at him, and he smiled at me encouragingly. I suddenly had a tragic feeling that I was going to die.

“…… Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come, Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come ......"

I put aside all distractions and focused on my pen. The pen began to shake, drawing irregular lines on the paper, from short to long, straight to curved. Compose one eerie pattern after another. The pen became more and more restless, and gradually became agitated. The line segments are getting longer and stranger, and the frequency of slashing is getting faster and faster.

“…… Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come, Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come ......"

The pen paused suddenly, and my heart trembled. I saw the pen take a few steps on the paper, then move to the left, and then walk a few times left and right without any rules. Suddenly, I could smell a stench in the cold wind, as if the smell of our clothes had become stronger.

“…… Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come, Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come ......"

At this moment, I suddenly felt a shadow appear on my left and right sides! No, not the shadow of a man! It's a ghost! I felt sweat run down my spine. But I still didn't dare to stop.

“…… Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come, Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come ......"

I felt my heart pounding, but I didn't dare to raise my eyes to look, to let them see that I was observing them, not even to move my eyes. I can only look out of the corner of my eye. The one to my right is a white shadow, is it the female ghost following me? Is the black shadow on the left following Lei? Like Lei and me, they sat opposite each other at the square table.

“…… Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come, Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come ......"

I kept talking to myself, staring at the blank paper in front of me that had been drawn horizontally, but I continued to sweep them with my peripheral vision. They didn't move either, just sat quietly at the table. Intuitively, I felt that they were watching us too. The clothes on my back were soaking wet. Gusts of wind blew on the back, and there were bursts of coldness.

“…… Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come, Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come ......"

I felt that Lei's hands were already soaked at some point, I swept Lei with my peripheral vision, and he seemed to be staring at the white paper in front of him in a daze, not daring to move again. Did he see this scene too? Sweat passed from the hands of the two of us to the pen and slid down the pen.

“…… Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come, Pen Fairy Pen Fairy please come ......"

I don't know how many times the pen walked to the center of the paper, and suddenly, at the moment when the tip of the pen crossed the center of the paper, I saw two hands stretched out from the left and right sides at the same time, pressing on the pen at the same time! No, I can't see the hands, it's the shadow of two blurred sleeves! The sleeves of the shirt are longer than the hand, hanging long, and there is a faint shape of a hand inside. On the left is a black shadow, and on the right, a white one. A strong force came from the pen, suppressing all uneasiness. I let that force carry me, and it seemed like it was going to draw circles on paper.

The pen, or two other invisible hands, took the hands of both of us and drew a circle on the paper.

"Are you haunting us?" After the circle was drawn, Lei asked in a loud voice. There was irrepressible excitement in his voice.

The pen moved a few inches to my right and drew another circle. When you finish drawing, move diagonally to the left. I felt my stomach twitch again, and the blood vessels in my temples pounded.

"Did you cause all the strange things we've been experiencing in the past few weeks?"

The pen was in place, slowly turning in a circle.

My heart beat sharply, alternating frequently between Lei and my breathing, but my mind was still in chaos. I think only someone as calm as Lei might be able to ask questions at such a time.

"Are you, or you, two?"

The pen suddenly and quickly pushed in my direction, startling me. But soon it moved in the direction of Lei, and then moved back to the middle, drawing a small circle. Does that mean that one follows me and the other follows Lei? I only heard Lei hurry up and asked, "Have I seen you already?" ”

I chuckled in my heart, thinking that this question is too presumptuous, isn't it? Out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't see any shadow, whether it was the sleeve on the pen or the figures sitting on either side. It's completely invisible. Is the pen fairy gone? Before I could react, the pen drew a circle on the paper again, and then quickly drew several lines diagonally left and right to form a huge cross! Does that indicate anger?

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to," Lei's voice was tired, "but I want to ask one more question, and I hope you can answer it: Do you want us to die?" ”

I was shocked: what if the stroke came out in a circle? I stared at the pen, which kept swimming on the paper, and it went faster and faster. I glanced at Lei with my spare eyes, maybe he was betting on the last hand. The room was eerily quiet, and even the wind outside the door seemed to have stopped, listening to the final answer. In the dead silence, there was only the sound of the pen grinding on the paper, and the heavy breathing of Lei and me.
