Tick, tick.

The sound of water came from the bathroom, although the room was not empty, but against the backdrop of the night, the sound of this tick was like an echo of the hollow, knocking on Wei Fang's heart. He opened his eyes in the chaos, and the window was opened at some point. The noisy night breeze blew the curtains down together, and the whirring wind seemed to indicate what was about to happen.

Tilting his head to look at the bed, only a pillow with indentations remained, and the cold air of half a thin quilt.

He understood that the reason why he woke up late at night was probably because the cuckoo was not covered with a quilt, so he was woken up by freezing.

The sound of water in the bathroom should be that the cuckoo went to the toilet without tightening the faucet.

This window......

The so-called night is as cool as water, and the windows are so wide open, don't you worry about catching a cold?

Wei Flails barely stood up, sneezed loudly, and shrank back.

With the cuckoo in mind, he didn't close the window, leaving behind a two-finger-wide vent.

Wei Flai's consciousness was still floating in the void, and he lay back on the bed, but there was an indescribable sense of incongruity.

This indescribable sense of incongruity made his consciousness gradually clear.

He looked at where the bathroom was, there was no light, and the bathroom was not lit.

The bathroom did not turn on the light, and he could understand that the cuckoo was trying to save trouble, and he used his mobile phone to illuminate the toilet.

However, this is obviously wrong, the cuckoo is afraid of the dark, and the toilet is such a cold place. Even during the day, she has to turn on the toilet light to be at ease. Moreover, they had only experienced that strange coughing sound that night, and he knew that the old woman's cough was not caused by the sound of the wind, and he had not seen anyone through the cat's eye, which added a bit of weirdness to the matter.

Hardly anyone would do such a prank at midnight, right?

On such a dark day, in the middle of the night, just staying in the corridor does not make people involuntarily secrete fear.

Worried that Cuckoo would be cranky, he did not tell her the truth, and he inexplicably developed a sense of distrust towards Cuckoo. It's not a sense of mistrust between men and women, it's a suspicion between two very different species.

Both of their mobile phones are placed next to their pillows, and if the cuckoo goes to the toilet and does not turn on the toilet light, how can he also need lighting equipment. If you don't turn on the light in the bathroom and close the door again, your eyes will definitely be blind in an instant, and you can only dimly perceive things in between after adapting.

Wei Flail was inexplicably a little nervous, and the sleepy worm in his head didn't know when he would slip away.

He stood up, put on his black slippers, and brought his cell phone.

In fact, he doesn't need to bring his mobile phone, he just needs to turn on the light in the bathroom to know what's going on inside.

However, a strong sense of crisis in his heart made him hold his mobile phone in his hand. The phone in his hand is not a qualified weapon, but holding the phone in his hand gives him some peace of mind, even if it is useless in the face of gangsters or some kind of unspeakable terror.

The sound of water in the bathroom, still ticking, is like a naturally formed clock, with a kind of hypnotic magic. It was just the unexplained nervousness and fear that made Wei Flails pay full attention to all movements. If you put your hand over his shoulder, you can feel the muscle tissue that has stiffened due to excessive tension.

His eyes widened, his heart pounding, and he could only hear his own heartbeat.

One-step, two-step, three-step, four-step......

There was still only the sound of water dripping, and he didn't even hear any human-related sounds coming from inside.

He remembered that when he got up, the touch of the bed where the cuckoo slept was as cold as a piece of iron. Such a temperature shows that the cuckoo has been away for longer than he imagined. The door was locked, the cuckoo was only wearing a nightdress, and the wind outside was so strong that she wouldn't go far even if she went out.

Suppose she forgot to bring her keys and mobile phone when she went out, she should also knock on the door and call her name, and none of this happened.

Close, close, the bathroom door is ajar, the light switch is not outside the bathroom, but inside the bathroom, open the door to the left hand wall, open the door and reach out again, you can turn on the light.

But......

In the thick darkness, there seem to be unpredictable creatures, unknown beings that surpass all known human knowledge.

The reason why human beings are afraid and fearful is that this emotion actually stems from the unknown, and in the face of unknowable, inexplicable, and uncontrollable abstractions like fate, human reason is like a translucent thin paper. The intellectual light that mankind is proud of, in the face of the boundless abyss, is as small as Gulliver in the land of giants.

Wei Fang cautiously pushed open the door of the bathroom, obviously he had been in and out of this bathroom a lot, but he never knew that the door of the bathroom would make a noise.

It's like this building is a living creature, and the door of this bathroom is its organ of sound. It was talking, it was talking, and because of the huge difference in their life forms, he couldn't tell whether it was talking or whether it was making meaningful sentences.

The darkness of the bathroom seemed to be formed into a ball, and Wei Flails tried in vain to peek out of this abstract darkness. But with the eyes of man, he saw only the darkness that filled the air.

At this time, he realized that the moon outside the window was actually obscured by clouds. The small window in the bathroom, facing the east, is where the moon rises, although the moon is faintly like a gust of wind, but with the help of the moonlight, you can still barely see in the bathroom.

Wei Flails took a deep breath and touched the light switch.

During this time, he kept wondering if he would suddenly feel a cold hand, or a part of some human tissue, or a dead human head with blurred flesh and blood suddenly appeared in front of him.

The light flickered a few times, illuminating the situation inside under the period of Wei Flai. The incandescent light did not have a trace of temperature, but the presence of light gave Wei Fang some comfort.

If there are ghosts in the world, and he encounters them, then he expects to die after a fight with them, rather than being attacked and calculated by ghosts for no reason.

He didn't rush into it, his eyes scanned carefully, not sparing every inch.

He adjusted his angle, peeking left and right, while his ears were overloaded, picking up sounds from the outside world.

The lamp emits a long-lasting and steady near-blue-white light, which seems to make a small cracking sound as the current passes, like the trivial movement of insects, which sneers on and off.

Wei Fang was sure that the bathroom was not dangerous, and another question rose in his mind.

Where did the cuckoo go?

There was no one in the house, she wasn't in the bathroom, and she was unlikely to be in the hallway. Could it be that such a big living person disappeared out of thin air?

His doubts were quickly answered, and after finding that there was no danger, he entered the bathroom alone.

During the day, the white tiles, painted as white as a mirror, relentlessly reflected the light of the electric lamp, and he felt as if he had broken into another world.

The sound of water was ticking, and Wei Fang saw that the faucet was dripping, and drop after drop of water flowed out of the water faucet, dripping onto the washbasin overwhelmingly.

He saw himself in the mirror, he reached out and turned on the faucet, and the transparent water rushed out white waves, which flowed loudly. There were a lot of surprises this night, and Wei Fang wanted to wash his face to calm down, and then go out to see if the cuckoo was outside.

The nights are cold, so if you stay outside in a nightdress, you're sure to catch a cold the next day. Moreover, he was not familiar with the tenants here, and the other tenants in the house were all men. A beautiful single woman, lingering outside, puts herself in the shoes of herself, who may ignore the hidden danger and take the risk to bring the woman into his room.

Wei Flails turned off the faucet, the sound of the water stopped abruptly, and he took down the towels hanging from the shelf. This shelf was bought by him at the supermarket, and it was glued to the tiles with the glue that was sent, and the load was not large, but it was okay to hang a few towels.

After wiping the water stains off his face, he tried to put the towel back on the towel rack, but saw a small piece of baby pink fabric on the edge of the mirror.

He was so frightened that he took a big step back.

Baby pink cloth? The nightdress worn by the cuckoo is this color.

This nightdress has followed Cuckoo for many years, so Wei Flai, as Cuckoo's boyfriend, knows it well.

Immediately he knew the owner of the fabric, perhaps the cuckoo he was about to go out to find.

"Wife, in the middle of the night, you don't scare me."

Wei Fang said angrily, he was frightened several times in one night, and no one could stand it. Life is not a movie, and the ups and downs of the plot are fascinating in a work of art, but unbearable in the real world.

I didn't see the cuckoo just now, maybe because she was hiding behind the door, right in her blind spot.

Wei Flail yawned a lot, turned around to pull the cuckoo to the bed to catch up on sleep, he didn't forget that the two of them had to go to work in the supermarket tomorrow.

However, when he turned to look at the woman in the pale pink nightdress, he found that it was a strange woman.

This body, he knew that it belonged to his girlfriend Cuckoo, but the head above the neck was another strange woman's face.

Her face did not bear any resemblance to that of the cuckoo, her eyes seemed to have two curved crescents, revealing two shallow pear sockets because of her smile, and she had two small tiger teeth. This absolutely cute strange woman feels extraordinarily weird, like a puppet manipulated, her eyes are dull, and even if Wei is in front of her eyes, there is no eye movement caused by the slightest nervous reflex. Most importantly, Wei Flails didn't hear her breathing, and her chest hadn't risen or fallen since he saw it, like a lifeless corpse.

Corpse?

Wei Fang shuddered.

He found a shallow red mark on the strange woman's neck.

A voice in his heart told him that this strange woman was a cuckoo.

He felt that this strange woman's face would be a mask, and he could remove this human skin mask.

There was a voice in his heart that was telling him this. In fact, he did the same, just like lifting a cool skin, and the coolness of the skin chilled Wei Fang's fingers. At this point, the wisest thing to do was to leave the bathroom immediately and go outside to find help, or wait until dawn to find a solution, however, as if enchanted, he gently lifted the human skin.

Under the human skin, could it be the face of a cuckoo?

He told himself that it should be the face of the cuckoo.

The cuckoo may have become dead because he didn't feel her body temperature.

But when the human skin mask was completely removed by him, he realized that he was wrong, ridiculously wrong!

Under the skin of a person, there is naturally flesh and blood!!

Bright red muscle tissue, pale yellow is fat, white is human bone, and between white and yellow is the lymphatic and connective tissue of the human body.

Wei Flails repented of her intestines, why did she take off this woman's face with her hands?

He was now riding a tiger, staring blankly at the woman's face, holding in his hand the human skin face that Fang had removed.

Suddenly!

The woman in front of her moved, her eyes first rolling, then her hands.

She grabbed Wei Fang's hands, smiled bloodily, and asked, "Am I good-looking?" ”

It was the voice of the cuckoo!!

Wei Flai's sanity was knocked down by the fear in his heart, and he didn't want to face it all. All this is too unacceptable, following yourself, sharing a bed with you every night, and having the most intimate contact with your lover, turned out to be a disgusting skin monster?!

He was eager to faint immediately, in fact, his consciousness quickly withdrew from his body and plunged into endless darkness.
