Chapter 1: The world is full of weirdness
This is the third day after the explosion of the laboratory and Yan Junze's rebirth on this planet, and the location of the rebirth is a country called Huaying Dadu.
Tianmeng District, Shuntian City, the city is equivalent to the second- and third-tier cities of the Earth China before Yan Junze's rebirth.
Unlike other reborn people, Yan Junze's parents are alive after being reborn, and he has not received a bento, and he is in good health, and even the health care product promoters who "take it all home as long as ninety-eight" have nowhere to start.
And Yan Junze is also an only son, there are no sisters and sisters, and the orthopedic control can be directly in the upper right corner.
The only difference is that this reborn world is full of inexplicable weirdness.
For example, at two o'clock in the morning, there will be a knock on the door outside the living room, and in the silence of the night, there will be a very pure, very mechanical, goosebump-giving knocking sound.
For example, it is strictly forbidden to enter the bathroom after 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, usually around 11:50, the bathroom door will be locked directly with a key.
Of course, the living can't let the feces and urine suffocate to death, so the bedrooms are equipped with simple toilets.
After being reborn, the memory of the original owner has not been restored, for this family, for this world, and for the inexplicable weirdness everywhere, Yan Junze is a cognition that has been established little by little.
It was on Saturday, the day after he was reborn, that he learned something about this world by looking up information on the Internet.
The so-called weirdness is called a paranormal event here.
Since about half a year ago, there have been supernatural events in this world, and at first I thought it was a very rare event, but soon the supernatural events spread all over the world.
Some supernatural websites have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, with a large number of supernatural pictures uploaded by netizens and supernatural videos of personal encounters, and the number of pictures and videos is unimaginable. There are also special chat groups, live broadcasts at station B, and so on.
Fortunately, if there is a paranormal event, it is basically limited to a certain area, and if you don't get close to that area, there is usually no abnormality. This is like a reason why parents do not allow Yan Junze to enter the bathroom after 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
His father, Yan Dao, had to lock the bathroom door at 11:50 every night and wait until 6:30 the next morning to open it. As for the reason, Yan Daodao was tight-lipped.
But there are always exceptions to things, not to mention that Yan Junze has just been reborn, and he has not fully formed this cognition, and he is not very suitable for the condition of this body, on this Saturday night, until he returned to the bedroom after washing, he found that his glasses were still left on the sink in the bathroom.
This body belongs to a senior dog, who has been reviewing and practicing all day and night, and has formed more than 300 degrees of myopia, but other physical functions are not bad.
As long as you survive this year, you will be a good man after the college entrance examination. The thoughts of the original body owner were a little naΓ―ve and speechless.
Yan Junze deliberately looked at the time, the clock had already pointed to 11:54, and now it didn't take a minute to take away the glasses, and it didn't violate the rules of his father Yan Daodao.
What's more, he has not yet established a deep understanding of the seriousness of entering the bathroom.
Paranormal events? Does the mouthwash cup jump up to catch the water by itself, the blood flowing from the faucet, the scary face in the mirror, and the face towel on the hook to sing Brother Mars's "Uptown Funk" count?
Before they had encountered it in person, everyone thought that the real horror was far away from them, and Yan Junze's subconscious thought so.
walked out of the bedroom, squatted in the hallway and took out the key placed under the absorbent carpet in front of the bathroom door, Yan Junze quickly inserted the key into the lock hole and twisted the door.
The space of the bathroom is narrow, a sink, a toilet occupies half of the area, and the remaining area is reserved for the shower. However, when you take a shower, the splash will definitely splash on the sink or even the mirror in front of the table.
The entire bathroom is covered with red and white square tiles, and only the sink and toilet are pure white.
Turn on the bathroom light, this narrow room glows a warm yellow, but the light in the bathroom is still dim overall.
Yan Junze's heart was a little weak inexplicably, and his blurred gaze swept over the various items in the bathroom, as if there was nothing abnormal. After a few steps, he grabbed his glasses from the sink, put them on, returned to the bathroom door, and reached for the light.
After putting on his glasses, Yan Junze's eyes were much clearer, and the moment he turned off the light, his eyes swept inadvertently, and then he shook violently, staring at the corner of the room between the sink and the toilet.
There, at some point, stood a little girl with a disheveled head.
The girl was about five or six years old, facing the corner with her back to the bathroom door. She wore a red dress with lace, her arms and calves were bare, but she was covered with bruises, and her neck was skewed one hundred and eighty degrees to the right, as if it had been broken, but her skin was not broken.
Her two little feet were not shoeed, and the ball of her right foot was flipped up, connecting only the flesh of her leg, and a piece of Bai Sensen's foot bone pierced the skin and supported the ground in place of the ball of the foot.
It's a bit like Captain Barbossa in "Pirates of the Caribbean", but the broken leg can still hold wine, which is simply handsome. But here is the girl in red, it is terrifying.
Strangely, the girl in red's entire back was bent like an old tree trunk, forming an S-shape, and she just stood there, motionless, with her sticky, dirty hair behind her.
Yan Junze didn't have time to think about Captain Barbossa and his broken leg that could only hide wine, and the intense sense of fear quickly took over, making his body tremble involuntarily, and a cold aura spread through the bathroom to the aisle.
Yan Junze felt that his breathing had stopped.
Supernatural events, what is in front of you are supernatural events that are breaking out everywhere in this world!
Seeing the news on TV and encountering this kind of thing in person doesn't feel like a hierarchical existence at all. Only now did he realize that the gap between the two was like a chasm.
Cold sweat oozed from Yan Junze's palms and back, and he wanted to close his eyes and stop looking at the back of the girl in red, but he couldn't take his eyes off at all, still staring at the weird body without blinking.
At this moment, the girl in red, whose crooked neck had been moving, slowly turned in the direction of the bathroom door, and at the same time, accompanied by the clicking sound of the friction of the broken bones, like a hundred-year-old branch being broken, in this silent night, it was particularly harsh.
At this moment, Yan Junze's limbs were cold. I don't know where the courage came from, he quickly stretched out his hand, grabbed the doorknob of the bathroom, closed the door with a bang, and quickly turned the key on the door twice, took out the key, and squeezed it in his hand tremblingly.
The parents' bedroom opened immediately, and the sleepy-eyed father Yan Daodao and mother Li Man walked out.
"Ozawa, how long have you been reviewing, why haven't you slept yet?" Li Man asked in surprise, and then looked at the bathroom door that had been closed.
"You were in the bathroom?" Yan Daodao's drowsiness had completely disappeared, and he immediately returned to the bedroom and grabbed his phone to look at the time.
There are only 4 minutes left at 12 o'clock.
Yan Daodao walked out of the bedroom again, came to the bathroom door, twisted the doorknob, and found that the door had been locked, and then looked at Yan Junze's hands that were trembling slightly holding the key.
Taking the key from Yan Junze's hand, Yan Daodao turned his head and said sternly to Li Man: "Tell you to put away the key, put away the key, don't put it away casually." β
Li Man had already read something from Yan Junze's expression that had not yet recovered, and just nodded, at this moment Yan Daodao was angry, and she didn't say anything.
Yan Daodao looked back at Yan Junze's eyes, although his gaze was stern, he couldn't hide his concern, and asked, "Did you see her?" β
Yan Junze did not answer.
"It's okay, as long as you don't go into the bathroom during the time she's there." Yan Daodao comforted.
"Dad, that thing didn't show up until exactly 12 o'clock." Yan Junze spoke.
"That's why I asked the bathroom to be locked 10 minutes in advance." Yan Daodao replied, turned his head to Li Man and said: "Next time, the key can't be placed in front of the door, I will keep it personally, I will lock the door on time every night, and open it on time the next day." β
"Not next time." Li Man looked apologetic, came to Yan Junze, and stretched out his hand to hold his shoulders.
"Dad, didn't we report the supernatural at home?" Yan Junze couldn't help but ask.
Through online inquiries, Yan Junze probably knew that Huaying Dadu had a non-governmental organization called the "Paranormal Incident Group", which was born mysteriously and had a special person responsible for dealing with supernatural events that occurred in various places.
Such people are called "soul destroyers."
As long as there is a paranormal event, you can call the special number 4747 of the paranormal incident team instead of calling the police, because real police officers cannot handle paranormal events.
It's just that the number of paranormal events is growing extremely fast nowadays, and even if you report the supernatural events, the team may not be able to deal with them immediately.
At the beginning of the outbreak of supernatural events, Buddha and Taoism were still in the limelight for a period of time, but people gradually discovered that the so-called demon-suppressing demons, demons, and ghosts-suppressing various talismans, magic weapons and other items did not play much role in today's supernatural at all.
For this reason, some people who believe too much in tradition are dying one after another, and everyone realizes that this thing can only be effectively dealt with by relying on the paranormal event group.
And the supernatural event team also paid a lot of price in order to study how to kill the supernatural. The means of killing the supernatural are very secretive, except for the special spirit exterminators, ordinary people have no chance and cannot master it.
Yan Daodao sighed: "I reported it a month ago, saying that I was going to queue up, but now I haven't lined up." β
Yan Junze was a little speechless.
Although this world is very weird, there should be no less social favors, saying that it is a queue, and it is not necessary that someone constantly cuts the queue through special relationships.
Wait until the spirit killers of the supernatural event group deal with it, but I don't know if I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. During this period, only the area will be temporarily blocked.
Fortunately, the girl in red in the bathroom doesn't seem to be the type to find trouble, although she looks a little sorry for the audience, but she looks quiet like a quail, as long as she doesn't enter the bathroom during the time she appears, there shouldn't be any problems.
His father, Yan Daodao, worked in the office of a paper mill, an ordinary employee, with a monthly salary of less than 10,000 yuan.
Yes, more than three thousand.
's mother is a cleaning aunt of the cleaning company, and the two of them have one heart, and their monthly salary is comparable to that of Yan Daguo.
Such a working family lives in an old-fashioned community, and the home is only two bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen.
It is not realistic to let the Yan family move out and leave this strange place after all.
And now that the supernatural incident is reported, it is even more unrealistic to want to queue up to intervene in the relationship, relying on the social relationship between Yan Daodao and Li Man.
So things are deadlocked.
Unless the supernatural event is very noisy and has a wide range of influences, and under the pressure exerted by Huaying, the supernatural event team will quickly come to deal with it, otherwise such a thing as a quiet little female ghost in red suddenly appears in the bathroom at home, and if you don't queue for three or five months, you will be sorry for the well-behaved and terrifying little girl.
Yan Junze returned to his bedroom, his mother Li Man followed over and comforted him for a few words, Yan Daodao checked the door lock of the bathroom again, and then confirmed that the door lock in the living room was also locked, and then the two turned off the lights and returned to their bedroom.
However, Yan Junze couldn't sleep, the scene just now was the first time in his history that he witnessed the existence of ghosts, and that real sense of experience still made him get goosebumps at the moment.
And there is another reason why he can't sleep, because after seeing the little girl in red, a map suddenly appeared in Yan Junze's mind for no reason.
