Chapter 1: A Strange Call in the Dead of Night
"Whoa......
There was a sound of pages turning, and Lin Xuan looked at the book in front of him until the last page, and then closed it with a heavy snap, falling down into Lin Xuan's hand.
He looked at the book in his hand, with a solemnity in his eyes, and kept recalling all kinds of strange events he encountered yesterday in his mind.
All the answers β will they be here?
Lin Xuan slowly opened the first page of the book, and the bits of ink on it were engraved with strange information.
"Included weird: telephone
β¦β¦
It's late at night, and behind the bustling city hides a group of confused souls, who indulge during the day and sink in the night, confused and don't know where to go. And then there will be a late-night phone call to point them in the right direction.
Be careful, though, that it is not necessarily the lamb who enthusiastically shows the way to others.
Results:
You have been cursed by the strange phone call and will receive a strange call from midnight today (23 to 1 am), which will predict the future and give you some reminders.
Note: There is a certain amount of wisdom in the weird, and the hints given are not entirely correct, so please distinguish them by yourself. β
Lin Xuan carefully looked at the contents on the first page of the book, and the speculation in his heart continued to reflect on it.
As time passed, a glimmer of realization gradually rose in his heart.
"Will all the information in this world that has been collected by you be erased, including those who have been killed by the strange?
That's a ......."
In the darkness of the room, Lin Xuan's right hand gently stroked the somewhat rough cover on the surface of the book, and turned his head out of the window.
He looked at the dark night outside, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
"From now on, let's call it the Book of Destiny, a book of the lives and existence of all men."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Whoa......
The bathroom is lit by a shower lamp, and from the outside you can see the moisture in the bathroom, and the sound of splashing on the tiled floor can be heard from time to time.
It didn't take long for Zhong Yue to get up from the bathtub, her face flushed with a hint of blush from the hot water vapor around her.
She picked up a pink towel and wrapped it around her body, gently fastening it to prevent it from falling, and then feeling that her hair was still a little wet and uncomfortable, she gently shook the strands that were still stained with some water, letting them fall softly over her shoulders.
"Snap"
Pushing open the bathroom door, Zhong Yue walked straight to the bedroom of the hotel room.
"I'm so tired today, but I did well in the interview, hum...... I always feel that the examiner looks at me with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, how can I say that the interview can be passed? β
Zhong Yue walked to the side of the bed and took out his mobile phone from his bag, and he made two hey noises for some reason, staring straight at a certain place with his eyes, as if he was caught in some kind of fantasy.
Expertly turning on the phone's lock screen, she casually glanced at the message log.
Oh, and sure enough, it's a blank slate.
"It's not urgent, or maybe the company's review is too slow."
Zhong Yueyun summarized this matter lightly, and decided to open QQ to watch a few videos first, calm down.
"Buzz"
Before I could open the software, the main page of the mobile phone screen became an incoming call interface, and the phone prompt tone became a vibration at some point.
Below the head of a small black figure on the screen shows the caller:
"Jamin"
Seeing Jia Ming's name on the caller ID, Zhong Yue's eyes suddenly narrowed happily.
Sure enough, they still care about me.
"Xiaoyue, how was the interview today, are you tired?"
A gentle young man's voice came over the phone, his voice full of concern.
"Hmm...... It's not very tiring, it's just a matter of answering a few questions, nothing. Zhong Yue held the phone in her hand and replied in a low voice.
"That's good, remember to tell me if you need to...... By the way, Satsuki, are you looking for a hotel nearby? β
"Well, in Hongyue Hotel, it's very good here, you don't have to worry about ......"
"Zizi ......"
As she spoke, Zhong Yue suddenly frowned, and her unfinished words were interrupted by the sudden sound of electricity on her mobile phone.
I don't know if it's because of the interference of the current, Jia Ming's voice on the other side of the phone was weirdly distorted, and his voice was intermittent, and he couldn't hear clearly.
"Satsuki...... Your side...... Zizi ...... Hee-hee-hee-hee...... Zizi ......"
Maybe it was an illusion, Zhong Yue seemed to hear Jia Ming laughing on the phone just now, but the voice just now was fleeting, so she didn't hear it clearly.
"Is it a string?
It's a bit of a hassle...... Forget it, let's just refight. β
Zhong Yue frowned, and was inexplicably a little irritable in her heart: What kind of thread is it to talk well, and make people have a mentality.
"Boom!"
The night outside the bedroom window suddenly brightened as bright as day for a moment, and then there was rolling thunder in the distance, one after another.
"Whoa......
It didn't take long for the windows to be flooded by the rain that was pouring down, and the water stains on the windows gradually increased, and the raindrops crackled on the windows.
Zhong Yue's gaze gradually moved away from the window, the thunder just now really startled her, and she didn't know why...... At this time, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Originally, she was the only one sitting alone on the bed in the hotel bedroom in the whole room, but it suddenly rained heavily outside, and at this time, there was a faint atmosphere called terror in the whole bedroom.
"It's an illusion......
Zhong Yue thought of the stringing incident and the thunder just now, and thought that it might be the weather that caused the signal to be unstable.
"Nourish...... Zi"
The sound of electricity in the phone continued, mixed into a strange and eerie music with the sound of rain pouring outside the window.
Not interested in continuing to listen, Zhong Yue just wanted to hang up the phone, but the ghost made a mistake, and the hand she was about to drop paused-she just vaguely heard Jia Ming's voice from the phone.
"Find ...... Zizi"
The voice was still very vague, Zhong Yue frowned, picked up the phone and put it to his ear to hear what Jia Ming was saying.
"Find ......
Look for...... to ......"
Zhong Yue was a little strange, did Jia Ming ask her to find something?
Or did she hear it wrong?
The rumbling and deafening thunder outside the window still continued to sound one after another, the rain washed through the glass and scratched the water marks one after another, and the water pipes on the balcony kept the sound of water on the roof rushing down.
Suddenly, all the cacophony on the phone disappeared and it fell silent.
Zhong Yue glanced at the screen strangely: a pitch-black villain was still quietly in the center of the screen, and below was the caller's name: Jia Ming, and below was the make button and hang up button.
"It's all normal, it should be on the call now, why is it suddenly silent, there was still a little electric sound just now." Zhong Yue put the phone to her ear again, and this time she finally heard the voice as she wished.
"Hee-hee...... Hee-hee-hee-hee......"
How do you describe this sound? Probably like the sound of a little girl laughing. Zhong Yue wasn't quite sure, because the voice was faint, as if it had come from a far, far away, and it was getting louder and louder.
"Huh? Wait, it's getting louder? β
Zhong Yue's eyes suddenly widened, she sensed that something was wrong, and she held her phone tightly to her ear and listened carefully for a while. She could feel the little girl's laughter on her phone getting louder and louder, and ......
It's getting closer!
If the first sound sounded like it was coming from the lower floor of the hotel.
That's about the second, third, and fifth floors now......
Cold sweat slipped down her forehead, and Zhong Yue noticed that something was wrong with this phone call even if she was dull at this time, and the voice inside was approaching from a distance, as if it would come to her next moment.
As the voice drew closer, there was even a moment when she thought something was about to come out of the phone.
She didn't dare to listen any further, and before she had time to think about why there was such a strange sound on her phone, she quickly pressed the hang up button to end the call.
"Whirring ......"
Zhong Yue's heart was pounding, blood was circulating rapidly in her body, and she was still a little frightened as she gasped slightly.
Looking at the screen in her hand, which was already darkened, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly.
I'm the first time I've been scared like this by a phone call, right?
After Zhong Yue regained her composure, she lowered her head and was about to turn on her phone again, when a knock suddenly sounded on the door.
"Knock knock...... Boom"
Hearing the voice, Zhong Yue looked up at the direction of the door of the room a little strangely, but because the bedroom door had been closed casually when she came in, she couldn't see the situation at the door of the living room in the distance at this time.
Who knocked on the door? But no one should come at such a late hour.
"Knock Knock"
It was only a few seconds before Zhong Yue heard a knock on the door again.
But at this time, a fine cold sweat oozed from her head, and at the same time, her eyes widened sharply, staring at the bedroom door, her eyes full of disbelief.
"What's the matter with this knock?"
Zhong Yue knew very well that she had heard correctly, the second knock on the door was just outside her door, the knock was rigid and emotionless, as if there was a ghost standing outside the door waiting for her to open the door.
"Crunchβ"
Suddenly, a tooth-aching sound of opening the door sounded in Zhong Yue's ears.
She suddenly shook her spirit, and her heart panicked. But when she turned her head to look at the bedroom door, she found that it was still closed, with no sign of opening.
It's not from my room, where is that sound? It's so close to me......
Thinking so, Zhong Yue subconsciously looked down at the mobile phone in his hand, the bright screen was the call interface just now, the dark villain was engraved in the center of the screen, looking at the screen in front of him, Zhong Yue faintly felt like being watched, which was very uncomfortable.
"Click, click"
She heard a steady stream of footsteps on the phone, as if someone was strolling in an empty room, step by step as if stepping on Zhong Yue's heart, making her panic because she could feel the footsteps approaching step by step.
"Click, click......"
Suddenly, the footsteps on the phone stopped, and there was a brief silence around them, and only Zhong Yue's breathing was heard because of nervousness.
After being silent for a while, a sweet little girl's voice came from the phone:
"Find ...... Arrive...... You're up."
Listening to the seemingly sweet but strange childlike voice on the phone, Zhong Yue's hand holding the mobile phone shook violently, and an indescribable horror suddenly lingered in his heart.
"Snap"
Finally, her phone slammed to the ground due to the loss of balance, and the corner of the screen slammed into the cold floor, and several spiderweb-like horror cracks suddenly spread on the already fragile screen.
Zhong Yue looked at the broken mobile phone lying quietly on the cold floor in disbelief, and the voice of the strange little girl just now still echoed in her head.
She remembers that when she first heard it, it felt something was wrong, but she didn't pay much attention to it, and now she thinks about it......
The call interface in that screen......
Thinking back to the call interface she saw just now, she couldn't help but feel a burst of fear in her heart, "There seems to be no talk time in the call interface just now, and when is there a black avatar in the center of the screen when you call?"
Wrong...... What the hell was I talking to? β
I don't know if it's an illusion caused by nervousness, Zhong Yue always felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a little, and she couldn't help but glance at the air conditioning screen on the snow-white wall next to her, which showed that it was indeed room temperature now.
Then she glanced quickly at the bedroom door and the rain-soaked window behind her, both of which were dark and blind, and she felt like she was going to pounce on a ghost from behind her.
But it's okay,
Neither place seems to be anything out of the ordinary.
The warm yellow light of the hotel room slowly shone from the ceiling, and everything around it became calm, as if nothing had happened before.
However, Zhong Yue still has some ...... Afraid, now that she is the only one in the room, how dare she continue to sleep.
She kept reassuring herself in her heart that it must have been a problem with the phone that showed the error just now, and the weird and oozing sound might just be a string of wires.
Picking up the phone on the ground again, she opened the address book and called Jia Ming, she really wanted to hear the voice of someone other than her now, otherwise she wouldn't even have the courage to walk out of this room now.
The constant phone call just now made Zhong Yue tremble, she felt that she might have encountered a strange incident, and now the incidents of mysterious deaths in various hotels kept flashing in her heart.
"Doodoo ......"
"Satsuki, how was today's interview? Are you tired? β
Before she could speak, Zhong Yue heard Jia Ming's inquiry on the phone, and there was still tenderness in her voice, but Zhong Yue was suddenly stunned.
This sentence...... Sound familiar?
Thinking of this, Zhong Yue couldn't help but shudder, and the fear in her heart grew like a weed.
"Hello?
Satsuki, why didn't you speak, did something happen? β
"Huh? Ah, I'm fine, just thinking about things. β
Zhong Yue tried her best to make her voice sound normal, but she still couldn't help but have a hint of tremor in her voice, what had just happened was so weird.
"Well, it's fine, but ...... Satsuki, do you have any friends over there, so it won't bother you, right? β
Jia Ming, who was on the other side of the phone, smiled softly and said with some embarrassment.
Hearing this, Zhong Yue, who was holding the phone, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, feeling a little inexplicable.
"What friend, I'm alone in this room?"
"That's it...... Every time you speak, there seems to be a little girl next to you who is also talking, but I can't make out what is being said. β
"Little girl? You heard me wrong, it can't be. β
Zhong Yue was taken aback by Jia Ming's words, and hurriedly looked around him.
She's been living here for hours since she booked the room, so it's reasonable to be familiar with the room.
But now Zhong Yue inexplicably felt that the surroundings were becoming more and more strange.
Obviously, the items were placed in the same place, but she didn't feel like the room just now, and Zhong Yue's heart was suddenly haunted by an inexplicable fear.
Jamin then added, "I did hear it...... Wait, you won't have no one around you right now, will you? Jia Ming's tone suddenly became solemn, he knew Xiao Yue, she would never joke about such a boring thing, if it was true, then ......
Thinking of this, Jia Ming immediately reminded Zhong Yue eagerly:
"Satsuki, listen to me, you ...... now Click, beep...... ......"Before Jia Ming's words were finished, the phone automatically hung up for some reason.
And Zhong Yue's face, which had already become a little pale from the fright just now, was now filled with fear.
With trembling hands, she opened the contact page again and called Jia Ming again.
"Toot toot toot...... Sorry, the phone you dialed is on a call, please call again after you die. β
Zhong Yue's eyes widened violently, and she had just ...... Is there something wrong?
