I was completely stunned by this horrible thought. I kept yelling "don't let it in" and my hands fluttered wildly in the small space in the car. Lei is no better. In the confusion, someone's hand touched the wiper, and the wiper drew two arcs firmly and powerfully, sweeping the black cat away. The black cat rolled twice on the hood, rolled over and got out of the car, and disappeared.

Everything happened so fast, and I couldn't believe all of this because the black cat came and went without a trace. Only the two wipers, still swaying from side to side unhurriedly, can prove what just happened. I was stunned, holding the steering wheel with both hands and panting. Until Lei said, "Let's go!" Take a fork in the road! ”

There was another rush, I didn't care about how much oil was in the tank, and I didn't care that the road was slippery and easy to get into trouble when it rained. "He's probably given up, right? Or do you want to take one last gamble? What is Leigh doing? Why are the trees on both sides of the road exactly the same as they were just now? Where are we? Why aren't there houses on the side of the road? What should I do if there is a tree in front of me? How much oil is left? Do you want to spend the night in the car and wait for dawn before walking? Why is this road an uphill climb...... "Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, but I didn't slow down at all, I didn't hesitate to turn left and right, turn left, turn right and turn left again - the unthinkable happened, I found myself on the way to my doorstep! I breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped my face, which was covered with sweat.

After parking the car in the garage, I wanted to get out of the car and rush back to the warm and comfortable home, but Lei, who had not said anything, held me down: "Don't tell the two women about today's events." I agreed, and he added, "When you were driving back just now, I discovered something extremely horrible! I was startled and looked at him with wide eyes, his eyes were bloodshot.

"You must wonder why I didn't speak all the way," he said in a hoarse voice, "and tell you it, it's because I'm too scared to speak." ”

"W-What?" I was frightened by his appearance and subconsciously looked at the back window, there were no cats, nothing.

"It's not a cat!" He knew what I was looking at, "It's just now, the road that keeps going down, where do you think it leads?" ”

"I ...... I don't know. "I refuse to think for myself.

"What's the matter with those two fallen trees?"

"I don't know. Forget it, don't think about it. Didn't we come back well? ”

"That's not right!" He interrupted me loudly, "We didn't come back 'well'!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Looks like you really don't know." Lei sighed, "The way you drove just now was weird. And, just now, do you remember how you turned in the last three corners? ”

"The last three corners? It seems to be a left-hand ...... Then turn right......"

"It's a left, right, and left."

Right! I remember. Because I was afraid of always going around in one place, I alternated left and right turns. I was especially impressed by the last turn, a sharp 90-degree left turn - oh my God! I opened my mouth wide and subconsciously pressed my mouth with my hand. I thought I was going to scream out loud, but I couldn't even scream.

The house we stayed in was at the end of a cul-de-sac with Thunder Mountain in the background. The street is not a straight road, but there is a turn, a turn to the right. In other words, if we were driving home, the last time we turned the steering wheel would have to be to the right, and there could be no other possibility. But in fact, the last time I turned the wheel was to the left!

Got it! The only explanation for the last turn left is that we are coming out of the thunder mountain behind us! Our way home simply doesn't exist!

As Lei expected, another quiet week ensued, and nothing special happened. But Lei and I spent our time in anxiety and restlessness. I have fully believed in a great tribulation every seven days later. Lei also began to believe that we seemed to be disturbed by some mysterious force. "But I still don't think Bixian's statement is very reliable." He said. He was a staunch materialist. I asked him if there was a better explanation, and he didn't answer positively, just saying that there are many things that can't be explained scientifically yet. But, as he said this, I saw the trepidation in his eyes. At that moment I realized that he had begun to waver, but he did not admit it verbally. This deepened my fear, because I lacked a solid spiritual support.

Every day I was in a state of panic, feeling top-heavy all the time, and my mind was just thinking about how many days were left before the dreaded Friday came. It's a feeling like a man who knows how many days he has to live, counting his death. It's not a pleasant feeling. As I watched day after day of bad luck approach, I even wished that the nightmare would come early, and it was undoubtedly torture to wait for the horrors that were bound to happen.

Leigh noticed that I was not right, and she asked me if I was sick, and I could only smile bitterly. Since they hadn't told the two girls about the last week, and they hadn't encountered anything strange that night. So for them, almost half a month was peaceful, and they almost forgot to invite the pen fairy and the strange things that followed. Only Yuan occasionally smiled and joked: "Be careful, it's not easy to get out of being caught by the pen fairy." Lei and I were dumbfounded, speechless. Recently, cigarettes have become more and more ferocious, and two people have to buy three boxes of cigarettes a day. I said, "Isn't it time for us to quit when this is over?" Lei smiled wryly. I know what he means—are we okay with this?

Leigh is still hot and cold to me. She got a job as a waitress at a café, and every night she worked from half-past six to half-past ten. In the first two days, I drove Lei's car to pick up, and then I was embarrassed to trouble Lei, and secondly, it was indeed not far from home, and it was only fifteen minutes to walk, so I was too lazy to go. Yuan whispered to me that there was a man chasing Li in the café, and I was very distressed about this. Lei comforted me and said, "Let it be." ”

In the blink of an eye, it was the third full seven days after inviting the pen fairy. Lei and I discussed for a long time that afternoon, and we both felt that it was best not to go anywhere and stay at home. After dinner, I moved my computer to Lei's room, and the two began to face off against CS. Yuan listened to music and read a book on the sidelines. Because I didn't sleep well the night before, I was worried about what would happen today, so I didn't really have any interest in playing games, but in order not to sweep Lei Lei's interest, I still cheered up and accompanied him until nine o'clock. Eventually, I was so sleepy that I couldn't lift my head, so I said hello and went back to my room to sleep.

As soon as my head touched the pillow, tiredness suddenly filled my body. Half-asleep and half-awake, I thought that nothing had happened today after all, and my heart was relieved, and I fell asleep.

I had a lot of dreams, and it was very confusing, as if I was bringing Li home to see my parents and the two of you. In my dream, my family was still in the small courtyard where I lived ten years ago. Our white cat is still there. Leigh came to me and said, "The white cat is gone!" "I went to the patio and opened the lid of the tank, and the white cat's body was floating on the water. I don't know why, everyone said that I killed the white cat, and I somehow thought that I killed it myself, and I still regretted and felt guilty in my heart, and I was very sad. Until Leigh whispered to me, "I killed it!" ”

I woke up to find that Liz had come back at some point, sleeping right next to me. I put my hand around her, and she was obediently cowered in my arms, but her hands and feet were as cold as ever. Sleepiness came back.

I closed my eyes, and the dream continued. Leigh said don't tell others whether it's good or not, and I say okay. Leigh said she didn't mean to, and I said I did. She said she killed the cat because the cat wanted to kill her, and I laughed......

It was a little cold, and when I opened my eyes, the window was not closed, and the cold wind poured in through the cracks in the window. I wanted to get up and close the window, but my body was nostalgic for the warm and comfortable bed. Close your eyes, and the dream resumes again.

Leigh scoops up the dead cat from the tank. No, she's killing cats! Why did she kill a dead cat? She's showing me the show! She strangled the cat's neck with her hand. She actually laughed. At this moment, I was surprised to find out that she was not Leigh. The cold wind is blowing again. I opened my eyes and saw Li's clothes standing neatly by the window, and the moonlight shining through the window cast a miserable white trim on her. What does she want to do? I tried to see, but I couldn't see her face clearly. But I knew she was looking at me, staring at me. The wind blew in through the window again, blowing her long white dress around, didn't she never wear a skirt?

I sat up abruptly and realized it was a dream. There was no one by the window, only the wind blowing and shaking the white, half-open curtains. The moonlight casts the flickering curtain on the wall, creating a large, constantly flickering translucent shadow. Only then did I realize that there was no one on the pillow, and Liz was gone. "Let's go to the bathroom." I thought to myself, and lay down to go back to sleep, but I couldn't sleep anymore.

Looking at my watch, it was one o'clock in the morning. I tossed and turned in bed for a while, strangely sleepy. Looking at the watch again, at half past one, Leigh has not yet returned.

I felt strange in my heart, got up and went to the bathroom, but there was no one. So I pushed open the door of Lei's room, and the bright lights suddenly pierced me from opening my eyes.

"Awake?" Lei asked, still surfing the Internet at his computer. Li Zheng and Yuan were sitting on the edge of the bed talking, but I didn't say anything when I saw me coming in. I stared at Leigh, who wasn't wearing a weird long dress or pajamas, but was neatly dressed in a shirt and jeans. I thought it was a little strange for her to look at me, so I asked, "Why don't you sleep?" ”

"Me?" Leigh's eyes widened, "You're sleepy?" When have I ever slept? I've been here since I got back from work. ”

Lei and Yuan both nodded, and a chill instantly penetrated my body.

The figure standing by the window may be a dream, but what about the woman sleeping in my arms? It was definitely not a dream, I'm sure, I remember "her" cold hands and feet. If not dreaming, who would it be?

A terrible thought crossed my mind.

At this moment, there was a sudden "boom" of flushing in the bathroom, and I was startled before I realized that it was the sound of a flushing toilet. Something wrong again! As I said earlier, the toilet is broken and keeps leaking. That's why we always turn off the faucet and turn it on when we need it. I had just been in the bathroom, and I bet the faucet on the toilet pipe was turned off at the time. Could it be that someone opened it? Who is it? I shuddered, and looked back at the three people in the room, each with wide eyes. Lei's face is even more sallow. "You forgot to turn off the switch when you went to the toilet just now, right?" He gave me a look, and I nodded, but I didn't dare say a word.

The two girls were so frightened that they hurriedly covered their bodies with quilts, huddled together, and never got up. Leigh said to me, "I don't dare to sleep with you today." The two of you sleep. ”

Helplessly, Lei and I rubbed in the room for a while, and finally waited until the toilet was silent before we dared each other out. The two of them went to the toilet to check the following, everything was normal, and the faucet was turned off. "Maybe the faucet is broken?" Lei said.

Just then, I heard a "meow-" sound. Meow! The cat's voice was clear and loud, coming from my room! Lei jumped up and rushed over, and I followed closely behind. Pushing the door open, a shadow flickered around the unclosed window and vanished. Lei snatched it up with an arrow.

To this day, I don't know why I turned my head to look at the mirror on the other wall at that moment. But I did it at the time. This unconscious action allowed me to really see something that could make my soul fly for the first time. When Lei Fei flew past the mirror, I actually saw two figures flying in the mirror!

It was a black shadow, very close to Lei, almost attached to his back. It seems to be the shadow of a man.

"It's the black cat!" Lei leaned on the windowsill and said, "All of a sudden, it's gone, damn thing." ”

"Lei ......," I said in a trembling voice. What the? He turned around.

I swallowed, calmed down my emotions, and slowly told him what I had just seen, and then told him about the woman in white in the strange dream just now. His face was cloudy, and he kept smoking.

"Remember," Lei said slowly, after listening to my narration, "last week today, we got lost, and when you drove back, I said that you drove a little strangely. ”

I don't know why he mentioned this, but I was vaguely impressed: "So how?" ”

"It's not weird! Be...... It's ......" he couldn't say, it wasn't like him.

"What is it?"

"At that time, I was sitting next to you, so scared that I couldn't even speak," he took a deep breath, "I was scared by you!" At that time, you were laughing while driving! ”

Laugh! I felt like the hairs stood on end.

"I told you this to test your tone," Lei continued, "but you didn't even know it. From that time on, I thought that the ghost was going to say—"

"I've been ghosted?!" I blurted out.

"I was going to ask you what you were laughing at, but then I realized that you were laughing wrong. You laughed, how to say, like a woman's laughter, and even 'giggled' out loud for a few moments, it wasn't you, it was another woman's voice......"

"Don't ...... Stop it. "I didn't dare to listen to it anymore.

"Listen to me!" Lei waved his hand vigorously, "Later, after turning into a fork in the road, you didn't smile anymore, but instead showed a hateful and angry expression on your face. You're driving at a speed of one hundred and fifty or sixteen, and several times I thought you were going to run out of the road, because I couldn't see where there was a road and where there wasn't. But you are so familiar with it that you can find your way in the dark, as you have done many times before. ”

"I have never walked through, the conscience of heaven and earth ......"

"No one said 'you' walked by! And, the cat! There is no doubt that the black cat that appeared on those occasions is the same one! The problem is with that cat! You were right, it wanted to get in! Why did it come in the car? ”

"It wants to...... Kill us? ”

"Impossible! It can't even deal with the wipers, how can it hurt you and me? And the road, which was lined with big trees, straight down the old road. It stands to reason that a long one should be found on the map, but I looked through the map and there was no one! In the past two days, I have been going out to look for it by myself without telling you, asking people in the vicinity, and no one has heard of such a road at all. As for the way back to your car, it's even more impossible......"

"No, it won't be Huangquan Road......" I whispered.

"Well," Lei sighed, "it seems that you still don't understand. Even if it's Huangquan Road, what does the big tree that prevents us from moving forward mean? We can't die for a while? Actually, it's useless to say so much, the smile you didn't notice at the time can already speak for itself. ”

"What does it mean?"

"Ghost top! The ghost is real. Coupled with what happened today, it is enough to prove that we are all ghosted. Most of the black-clothed male ghosts in the mirror are following me. And the real female ghost in white who didn't know if it was in a dream was following you. ”

"That'...... I...... I still sleep with her......" I felt my stomach contracting, I was nauseous and I wanted to throw up. I quickly shifted my train of thought: "What's the deal with the automatic flushing of the toilet in the toilet?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't thought of it yet." Lei shook his head, "I was thinking about the dead cat in your weird dream." ”

"The white cat? What's there? ”

Lei was silent, it seemed that he hadn't thought it through yet. Finally, he said slowly, "Anyway, it seems that the ghost is indeed real," he smiled miserably, "The question now is what to do?" ”

What can I do?

The night was eerily quiet. Lei closed the windows tightly and pulled the curtains open completely.

The moonlight sloped through the window, casting the shadows of the trees outside the house on the wall. The forked branches resemble the claws of an open demon. Lei and I sat in the claws of the devil like this, waiting for the dawn to come.

I was half-lying on the bed and began to nap again. Messy dreams followed. Suddenly, I felt Lei touch me with his elbow, and I woke up suddenly. "Listen!" Lei whispered. I listened closely, as if it was the voice of Rei and Yuan in the next room. No, it's another woman's voice. The voice was not clear, it seemed to be in our room, and it seemed to be far away in the mountains behind. If I listen carefully, I can't understand a word, maybe it's a language I understand? Suddenly, a man's voice came out, and I couldn't help but shiver, looking at Lei, he was looking down and listening.

Both voices were excited, as if they were arguing about something. I still don't understand a word, and I try to continue to distinguish the source of the sound, but I still can't hear it. After a while, the sound died down, and there was silence.

I waited for the voice to appear, but nothing. After a long time, Lei said, "Don't tell the two girls about this," his face was blue and expressionless, "Go to sleep." If anything, just let it be. Alas. ”

I thought that was all I could do, so I closed my eyes.

Again, as on the last few days, nothing happened during the six blank days. Lei and I agreed that when the four of us were together, we would never mention it, and we would do whatever we wanted. We went to class during the day, and when we came home from school, we were as bored as ever. I felt that Leigh had spent a lot less time talking to me, and sometimes she didn't talk to me almost all day. Privately, I told Lei about this situation, and I didn't think that he was also trapped for the same thing. Lei said that one step at a time counts as one step, and I think it is. Lei seems to be preoccupied, the computer is no longer playing, and he is bored in the room alone every day, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. Even when he told him about Yuan or Li, he was absent-minded. Alas, I'm not about the same.

The weather is getting worse and worse, and the sky is either cloudy or rainy. I can't dry the laundry, I finally dried, and there is a strange smell, an indescribable smell, and it is very uncomfortable to wear. After a rewash, the smell was even stronger, and in the end the smell was so strong that I almost gagged. So I had to use perfume a lot.

Mom and Dad, I remember that during this time, you wondered if something was wrong with me on the phone, and kept saying that I had something to hide and didn't tell it. Now you know why I'm stumbling on the phone. Would you believe it even if I had told it at the time? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you believe it, how can it help things except to increase the worry of two people?

I lived in the shadows every day for a week, doubting everything I saw. Even an unrelated cat on the side of the road can scare me half to death. When Lei and I were alone, we also stared at each other and smoked cigarettes, and we had nothing to say. I happened to talk about the short happy time in the first few days, and I couldn't help but regret and regret - why did you want to play that pen fairy?! As soon as the topic came to the strange things that followed, I deliberately diverted the topic, unwilling to recall the horrific scenes. Yes, I don't dare. I no longer have the luxury of expecting things to get better, not to have a week without cats and nothing strange to happen, nor to expect everything to disappear and never come back all day at a time. As long as things don't get any worse, I'm content.

I thought about what happened before and after, and if every accident was as dangerous as the last two times, and didn't have any actual impact on us, then it wouldn't be a big deal. It's nothing more than a fixed time every week when something strange happens, just watch a free three-dimensional horror movie every week. Occasionally, when I was in high spirits, I joked to Lei: "Maybe in a few weeks, we will all get used to this kind of life, and the more we practice, the more courageous we get." He shook his head and smiled wryly. In retrospect, I was just trying to comfort myself.
