Volume 3 Midnight Terror Chapter 21, Psychedelic Incense

Since the movie "Lavender" was released, boutiques on the streets and alleys have begun to sell all kinds of aromatherapy burners and aromatherapy of various flavors. Buy a bottle of aromatherapy and go back, put a little in the aromatherapy oven, light a small colored candle, and the faint fragrance will be lost in the small room.

Xiao Ding walked aimlessly in the night market on the pedestrian street, his hair unkempt, his beard scruffy, and he looked haggard and frustrated. Since it's not a weekend, there aren't a lot of people at the night market, but there are still a lot of young girls strolling around, picking out what they want to buy or don't want to buy in front of the stalls. In the past, Xiaoding often accompanied his girlfriend Xiaowen to visit the night market, but now he is furious when he thinks of Xiaowen, this watery woman!

Xiaowen and he fell in love when they were in college, and he stayed in this southern city for Xiaowen, along with Xiaoding's two good friends, Xiaoyi and his family. Jiayou's father arranged a job for Jiayou, and Xiaoding and Xiaoyi applied for a private company. Not long ago, Xiao Ding's boss lost a lot of money to the company due to the failure of a plan, but the boss put all this responsibility on Xiao Ding and kicked him out of the company. What Xiaoding didn't expect was that as soon as he lost his job, Xiaowen broke up with him and threw himself into the arms of his friends and friends. Afterwards, Xiao Ding heard Xiao Yi say that when he was in school, there were rumors that his family friend had an affair with Xiaowen, because there was no real evidence, so no one took it seriously to Xiao Ding, and now it seems that the rumor should be true.

Xiao Ding has unconsciously reached the end of the pedestrian street. The stalls here are a bit sparse, and at the end of the corner, there is an old woman selling incense. It was a very small stall, and the light was very dim, and there was no one in front of the stall. Xiao Ding felt that the old woman was looking at him, feeling it, not seeing, because Xiao Ding couldn't see her clearly. She was wrapped in black clothes all over, with a black veil over her head, and her entire face was in the shadow of the black veil. The reason why Xiao Ding judged that she was an old woman was from her figure and the snow-white hair exposed outside the black veil.

Xiao Ding stopped in front of this stall, he didn't want to buy aromatherapy, but he didn't want to go home either, he had nowhere to go. The old woman stared at him for a long time before asking him in a hoarse voice, "Do you want to buy aromatherapy?" ”

"Is your fragrance fragrant enough?" Xiaoding subconsciously asked her, she used to accompany Xiaowen to buy aromatherapy, and she also asked like this. The old woman didn't speak, poured a little incense from a small bottle into the small tray of the aromatherapy stove, blocked the wind with a cardboard, lit the small candle under the stove, and then she beckoned to Xiao Ding, "You better come and smell it yourself." ”

Xiao Ding walked over, lowered his head a little, approached the small tray of the aroma burner, took a breath, and a faint fragrance of roses wafted into Xiao Ding's nose. It's so fragrant, Xiao Ding felt that a white mist was floating in front of him, and when the white mist dissipated, Xiao Ding was surprised to find that he was standing in a large area of red roses! There is plenty of light all around, and this is definitely not the light of the night market just now! Xiao Ding looked up at the sky, the sky was bright, with large white clouds. Xiao Ding is obviously shopping in the night market, why is it dawning? And, what kind of place is this? It must be a hallucination. Xiao Ding squatted down and touched the rose, this is a real rose. Xiao Ding took a deep breath, and the fragrance of roses was still fragrant. Xiao Ding stood up, but he saw a girl in a long white dress standing among the flowers, and the girl's long hair was flying with rose petals in the wind, which was so beautiful. Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment, he wanted to walk over. But at this time, the fragrance of roses faded, and a faint white mist rose again.

"You still like the scent, don't you?" The old woman's voice woke Xiao Ding up, and Xiao Ding looked in front of him, he was still standing on the corner of the night market, in front of the dim aromatherapy stall. "What's going on?" Xiao Ding looked around, it was in the night market, yes. He looked at the incense burner on the stall again, and the candle fire was gone. "I just ......," said the old woman incoherently about the rose bush and the girl she had just seen. What nonsense, didn't you just stand here all the time? The old woman said in a flat tone. But......" Xiao Ding didn't know what to say, "you can try the fragrance for me again, okay?" ”

"No, I still rely on it for food." The old woman said firmly, "If you like it, you can buy a bottle and go back."

"How much?" The old woman quoted a price, which was the same as the price of the aromatherapy shop outside. "Okay, the one that smelled just now, give me a bottle."

"Anything else might be better, huh?" There was an indescribable mystery in the old woman's hoarse voice, and Xiao Ding felt that she was laughing behind the shadow of the black gauze, "It was rose-scented just now, do you want to buy a tulip-scented one?" ”

"Okay." Xiao Ding took out the money and was about to pay, when the old woman asked him again, "Do you have an aromatherapy burner?" ”

"Ah, no." The old woman took out an aromatherapy burner from behind her, it was a woman with a snake head, she put her hands on her chest, holding a small plate of incense, the snake body coiled many times, stretched out in front of her, holding a candlestick, her hair was very long, look closely, the hair was countless thin little snakes, the snake's head was outward, the snake's mouth was wide open, and she vomited blood-red snake letters.

"Are there any other aromatherapy burners?"

"Yes. But I've heard that with this aromatherapy burner, the effect of aromatherapy will be better. If you insist on not wanting this, you can be replaced with something else. The old woman's voice was hoarse and flat, but full of mysterious temptation.

"Alright then, that's it." After Xiao Ding finished paying, he picked up the wrapped aromatherapy and aromatherapy stove, didn't linger in the night market for a minute, and walked back to his small bucket quickly.

Ding returned to his room, took out the aromatherapy burner and put it on the floor, poured the rose-scented aromatherapy, and lit the small colored candles in the aromatherapy oven. Then he sat quietly on the floor in front of the aromatherapy stove. When the fragrance came up, the white mist also filled, and Xiao Ding saw himself standing among the roses again. The scenery around is exactly the same as last time, even the white clouds floating in the sky. The girl appeared in the same position silently, and Xiao Ding walked over without a little hesitation. The girl looked back, she was so beautiful, Xiao Ding had never seen such a beautiful girl. She smiled at Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding walked over and took her hand, and she let Xiao Ding take her hand and walk slowly among the roses. The white mist rose again, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Ding woke up from the romance just now, he was still sitting in the room, the incense in the furnace had been burned, and the candles were still burning.

Xiao Ding opened the bottle of tulip scent and poured a little more into the plate of the aroma diffuser, and after a while, the rich fragrance of tulips permeated. This time, Xiao Ding sat in the main seat of a large conference room, which is usually the chairman's seat. On the table of the conference table are two boxes of tulip flower arrangements, delicate in color, noble and beautiful. There were a lot of people sitting around the conference table, and they were standing up silently. The female secretary behind Xiao Ding came over and picked up the information in front of Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding stood up, and the group bowed 90 degrees to Xiao Ding together. Xiao Ding turned around, and a person hurriedly stepped forward to open the back door for him, Xiao Ding walked in the door, and the man gently closed the door again. It's a big office with a huge ensuite for resting. Hot water was placed in the bathroom of the rest room, and after Xiaoding took a hot bath, two girls massaged him, and one of them handed him a glass of high-end red wine. Everywhere he went, someone opened the door for him and bowed to him ninety degrees. On a whim, Xiao Ding slapped a person in the face, and the man hurriedly bowed a little deeper, with an incomparably glorious smile on his face. Xiao Ding came to his senses again, and it was already dawn outside. The candle has been extinguished, and the incense has burned out.

Xiao Ding burned the incense in the room all day, but the incense finally ran out. Xiao Ding waited until it was dark and went to the night market and went straight to the old woman who sold incense. Xiao Ding felt the old woman's smile of satisfaction. This time, in addition to the two that Xiao Ding bought last time, he bought another one: a jasmine-flavored aromatherapy.

When the delicate fragrance of jasmine filled the room, Xiao Ding sat in an elegant dining room, and opposite sat a noblely dressed and gorgeous girl, and the two cups of high-grade jasmine tea in front of them were wafting out the fragrant heat. There were only two of them in the whole restaurant, there were no electric lights, all small red candles. The waiter brought up a series of expensive dishes, and some waiters opened the red wine and poured it for the two of them. There were so many dishes on the table that if there was a banquet, they could invite one or twenty people, and they would take everything down after just tasting it. There is also a person playing the saxophone on one side, playing "Jasmine". The girl clinked glasses with him frequently, smiled, and looked at him with affectionate eyes, with infinite spring in her eyes.

Xiao Ding became a frequent customer of the old woman, buying a different fragrance every time. He hid in the room every day and enjoyed the different feelings. No one bothered him, except for Xiaoyi's occasional phone call when he remembered him. Finally, one day, Xiao Ding used up all the different flavors of the old woman's fragrance. He went to the old woman again, and he asked her, "Are there any new varieties?" The old woman stared at him and didn't say anything for a long time. You speak," Xiao Ding was impatient. The old woman beckoned to him, and he walked around the stall to the old woman's side. "There's also a fragrance that will surely make you use it all the time, but ......" the old woman nervously spoke, her hoarse voice barely audible. But what? Xiao Ding couldn't help but lower his voice and leaned down to ask her. However, no one has ever tried it before, and it is very expensive. Xiao Ding stared at her: "It's okay, but you tell me why you don't get tired of using it?" "Hehe......" the old woman smiled mysteriously, "because it is said that this kind of aromatherapy can make you 'smell' all kinds of different smells, as long as you can think of it, you can 'smell' it." Xiao Ding's eyes lit up, "Okay, I want to try a bottle." The old woman paused again and did not speak, "I can sell it to you, but you must swear not to say it to anyone." Xiao Ding swore without thinking about it. The old woman took out an ordinary aromatherapy bottle, "This aromatherapy is called 'psychedelic', and the dosage should be strict, use one small compartment at a time, and this small bottle can be used four times." Remember, less won't work, and more won't get better. The old woman said so many words for the first time, and explained to Xiao Ding in detail, "You must work hard to achieve your goal" The old woman's voice had a yin smile.

Xiao Ding carefully poured a "psychedelic" incense into the furnace, lit the candle, and a faint incense mist began to rise, as if it was a slightly fishy sweet fragrance. At that moment, Xiao Ding seemed to see the woman with the head and snake body of the incense burner and smiled evilly. There was a burst of white mist, and Xiao Ding stood in a dark room. After Xiao Ding's eyes adjusted to the darkness, he saw a luxurious bedroom, and two people were sleeping on the bed in the middle of the bedroom, as if they were a couple. How so? Xiao Ding is a little strange. He approached the bed, wanting to see who it was, in the extremely dim light, Xiao Ding trembled, wasn't that man the boss who hurt him? A hatred rose in his heart, and if there was a knife, it would kill him. Xiao Ding felt that he had something in his hand, and when he picked it up, he looked at it, wasn't it a knife? Xiao Ding couldn't hold back the hatred in his heart anymore, and took the knife and slammed it into the guy's heart.

Xiao Ding was still trembling when he came to his senses, and he really hated that bastard. Ding seemed to be very tired, and fell to the floor, and in a moment he fell asleep. The next morning, Xiao Ding was woken up by a phone ringing, he grabbed the phone in a daze, and Xiao Yi's voice came: "Xiao Ding, tell you a good news" Xiao Yi's voice was full of excitement. "What's the matter?" Xiao Ding hasn't woken up yet. "Haha, the guy who hurt you, I heard that he died last night" Xiao Ding suddenly came to his senses, "What? What did you say? Xiaoyi lowered his voice, "Your boss died last night, and his wife called to say he had a heart attack. How can such a strong person have a heart attack, I think it is retribution. "Xiao Ding is dumbfounded, how can it be so coincidental?

Before it was night, Xiao Ding couldn't wait to burn the "psychedelic" aroma, he wanted to try again, whether the death of the bastard last night had anything to do with him. The incense mist rose, and the smell of perfume on the woman's body was mixed with the fishy sweetness. Xiao Ding saw the woman with the snake body smiling evilly, and the snakes on her head were dancing. In the white mist, he came to an upstairs, huh? Isn't this Xiaowen's doorstep? As soon as there was a knock on the door, Xiaowen walked out with her sister and mother, Xiaowen walked at the end, she said and walked down the stairs with a smile. Xiao Ding walked behind Xiaowen, on the side of the stairs, he hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his hand and pushed hard behind Xiaowen, who was lifting his feet downstairs.

Xiao Ding didn't sleep after waking up, he kept waiting. The night passed, and the morning passed, and Xiao Ding didn't hear the phone ring. Xiao Ding breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little regretful. He ate something and went to bed. The phone rang suddenly, and Xiao Ding reflexively picked up the phone, "Xiaowen is dead." Fell down the stairs yesterday evening, was sent to the hospital and was not rescued, and died this morning. The phone fell from Xiao Ding's hand.

Xiao Ding got up and ran to the pedestrian street, the night market had just opened, and the old woman on the corner had not yet come. Xiao Ding sat there and waited, but he waited until the night market was closed, and he didn't see the old woman.

may be a coincidence, Xiao Ding thought to himself, how can there be such a good thing in the world, just think about it, you can make the person you hate die. Xiao Ding used the "psychedelic" aromatherapy for the third time. This time, the aroma is a strong sake, which is a little suffocating. The woman with the snake head laughed wickedly again, and she danced with the snakes on her head, spitting out the blood-red snake letter, as if the snake letter was about to lick Xiao Ding's face. The white mist was filled, and Xiao Ding was standing at the door of an elevator, he didn't know where it was. The elevator door opened, and several people helped a man out, and the man staggered and was drunk. They walked to a doorway, someone took the key to open the door, the drunk guy walked in, the others didn't go in, but turned around and walked to the elevator and pressed the elevator down. The drunk man walked back to the door and waved goodbye to the group. Xiao Ding saw clearly at a glance that the drunk person was a family friend! Xiao Ding walked into his friend's house. The group was gone, and the family closed the door and fell asleep on the couch. Xiao Ding was very frightened in his heart, but he couldn't help the hatred in his heart, he hesitated, and finally stretched out his hands to his family friend and choked his family friend's neck tightly.

Ding waited in extreme fear for the phone to ring, and the whole day passed, and there was no news. It's been three days, and Xiao Ding finally slowly relaxed in fear, and at this moment, he heard the phone ringing. The bell rang many times, and Xiao Ding didn't dare to pick up the phone, but the ringtone seemed to have a stubbornness that would not give up if he didn't get through. Xiao Ding trembled and grabbed the phone, Xiao Yi's voice was full of horror, "My friend died, died at home, I heard that there was no scar on his body, and the police are now taking his body for autopsy." In the end, Xiao Yi was silent for a long time, and said to Xiao Ding in a trembling voice: "It seems that the three people you hate the most have died mysteriously, you, you have to be careful......" Xiao Ding trembled all over, like autumn leaves in the wind. He was terrified, but he was a little excited in his fear.

He went to the corner of the night market again, and the old woman was still gone. For a few days, Xiao Ding hid in the fighting room during the day and did not go out, and went to the night market to find the old woman at night, but the old woman disappeared and never appeared again, and he thought that he would never find the old woman again. Xiao Ding stared at the aromatherapy furnace and the remaining one of the incense, all the people he hated were dead, so what would happen to the last one of the incense? He sat in front of the aroma, endured and endured, but finally couldn't help it, the worst is already like this, what else can there be? Maybe this last moment was a turning point in his life? With a trembling hand, Ding poured the last incense into the diffuser and lit it several times before lighting the candle. The candle was burning, and the incense on the plate was slowly evaporating, but there was no fragrance, and there was no usual white mist, Xiao Ding was still sitting on the floor of the room. Xiao Ding felt less nervous than just now, but he was very disappointed. He slowly lay down on the floor, letting the aroma burn.

There was a loud knock on the door, and Ding got up from the floor with a grunt, and someone was knocking on his door. Xiao Ding was like a leopard that had encountered a natural enemy at this time, and every muscle in his body was tense. The knock was louder, and he silently approached the door, looking out through the cat's eye. Oh my God, there were a lot of policemen standing outside the door, still holding pistols in their hands, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Xiao Ding's door, and some people even raised their feet, as if waiting for an order to kick Xiao Ding's door open. Ding's fear was over, and he thought he had to run away. He slowly retreated to the window, looked out for a moment, and then, as quickly as he could, climbed up the window and jumped downstairs.

The next day, Xiao Ding was found dead downstairs, as if he had committed suicide by jumping out of a window. The police opened his door, and there was nothing unusual in the room, except for a strange diffuser on the floor and an empty diffuser bottle. How does this person look like a woman, someone said secretly. After investigation, the neighbors on the left and right were not familiar with Xiao Ding, and no one paid attention to Xiao Ding's abnormalities before he died, but on the night he died, everyone said nothing, and no one heard or saw how he jumped off the building. The phone in Xiao Ding's room rang, a policeman picked up the phone, and Xiao Yi's voice said: "Xiao Ding, the cause of death of my family friend has been found out, he was drunk, and the contents of his stomach did not vomit, he poured into his trachea and suffocated to death." Hey, Xiaoding, why don't you speak? ”

……

At the corner of the night market on Walking Street, an old woman dressed in black sells perfume. Two beautiful girls were standing in front of her stall buying incense, and one of the girls was holding an aromatherapy burner in her hand, and the strange aromatherapy burner was the appearance of a woman with a human head and a snake body.
