Chapter 1: Fantasy City

A person has just come to a strange city, going around and dragging his small suitcase to find a place to perch, now this year is really not easy, let's get here today, the interview manager who made an appointment in the morning actually pigeon buddy me, and how to calculate the 200 yuan certificate fee paid?

"Brother security, why don't you let me in, I'm really a tenant here, it's really not a matter for you to stop me......" At this time, I was stopped outside the door of a community, and the landlord who had been contacted before did not answer my phone, seeing that it was not early, I was tired and I really didn't know what to do.

"Young man? Renting a house? Come to me, I'm cheap here......"

At this time, a curly-haired aunt appeared in front of me, oh? Soliciting? This year is also rare, look at this aunt does not look like a bad person, then look at the security guard who stopped me from entering, look at the smiling aunt in front of me again, a little tired, I gave up the idea of entering the community, followed this aunt who took the initiative to solicit customers left the community, and got on a broken bread that led to the urban-rural junction.

The smell of the car was a little pungent, and in addition to the driver, there were already two people on it, both of them were girls, and they looked very nervous, probably job seekers who couldn't find a place to live like me...... I smiled kindly at them, one of the girls smiled and nodded at me, and the other younger girl ignored me and continued to look at the other side of the window and feel the world in the headset.

The car was parked on the side of the road and did not drive until about 10 o'clock in the evening, during which my aunt did not find any more guests, and my journey also began from this moment......

My name is Jia Xunwei, I am 20 years old this year, I dropped out of school, the reason is that I want to be self-reliant, I came to this strange city, and the job I contacted online before seemed to be a fraudulent black agency, for which I felt very sad and helpless.

At this time, I was living in the room assigned to me by Aunt Solicitation, which was only 20 square meters, no air conditioning, no hot water, no signal, I thought that this housing trip would be interesting, but tragically found that the two girls who came with me in the car lived in another building.

Sometimes I feel a little excited to live alone, but when you settle everything down and are ready to go downstairs for a meal, you will find that there are only two restaurants downstairs, there is no choice, you eat the most unpalatable meal in your life and return to the place where you live, you will find that the mobile phone still has no signal, in fact, the 20 square meters of rental house is also quite large, this is really a dark rental house......

I took out a figure in the suitcase and placed it in a conspicuous position in the rental house, this is the only thing I can take out of it, and then next to the figure, I placed the second thing I took out of the suitcase, a statue, the author of the statue should be an abstract person, according to my experience of having it for almost a year, this should be a statue of a Yaksha ghost, and most people are going to say, it is not good to put such an evil thing at home, but I don't have this awareness, because in my opinion it is my spiritual sustenance, It's the same as the young lady figure next to it.

It was a year ago, and since that incident, I've been looking forward to it happening again all year long...... Sometimes I ask myself if it's a dream or not, and whenever I think about it, I look at the back of my hand and the abstract statue of Yaksha in front of me.

One day a year ago, I was still in school looking for a part-time job, that was the first part-time job I found, and of course it was the first time in nearly three months that a company contacted me. But I didn't find the so-called company all night, only saw a land temple at the address given by the company, there is such a statue of a yaksha ghost in the temple, and then I began to walk bad luck that night, not exactly this night began to go bad luck, in fact, I have been bad luck for a few days, but tonight is particularly back, I encountered the legendary robbery, yes, I only heard about it before, but I haven't encountered it, today I was unlucky to break through the sky, and it seems that the other party is still a novice, Because I saw his hand holding the knife trembling, probably because of nervousness, I was stabbed by the other party when I committed the crime, on the back of my hand, I was very scared, all the way back to the land temple, the robber didn't know what was wrong, kept chasing me, in this low land temple, I was cornered, so I grabbed the statue of the yaksha ghost placed in the middle of the offering table, the blood on the back of the hand stained the statue red, the statue was glowing, the robber with the knife was scared away, and when I reacted, Where else is there a land temple here, there is just me sitting alone in the garbage can, holding a statue of a Yaksha ghost in my hand, and the unstoppable blood on the back of my hand.

At that moment, I knew that I had encountered a paranormal phenomenon, but I didn't expect that there really was a supernatural phenomenon in this world, I brought the glowing statue back to the dormitory, and the knife wound on my hand also scabbed overnight, but I was left with a yaksha grimace that was exactly the same as the statue, which made me even more convinced of my previous thoughts, the supernatural! Although the statue has not been abnormal since that glowing event, and my life has returned to normal, I have always believed that the day I encounter the paranormal again, there is one more thing, and that is that I will become more unlucky...... What to drink water and be choked on eating, things are often lost, can't find a job, never won the lottery, these are all small things, the most important thing is that all the big and small things related to me will become very complicated, even terrifying, such as going out to go shopping, just get off the bus that the bus has a traffic accident, go to a restaurant to eat, there will always be bumps and bumps, the most serious one is that the waiter almost burned me to the hot pot. In the face of such an unfortunate life, ordinary people may have collapsed, but I firmly believe that this is some kind of supernatural phenomenon, I have become unlucky, and nature has become stronger, this is the law of conservation of energy, although I have not known where I have become stronger, but my previous luck is very good, and the deterioration is a few months before the encounter with the statue began to undergo subtle changes, and then after the encounter with the statue of the unlucky life, until this moment I firmly believe that the statue in front of me will appear again, and said to me: "Young man, You are the chosen one with great fortune, you have successfully made it through the unfortunate transition period, and now let me give you the strength to take you on a different life from now on......"

In the 20-square-meter dormitory, the light was dim, and I thought back to the scenes of my life, raised the statue of the Yaksha ghost in front of me, and threw it heavily against the wall, and the statue fell apart for a minute...... Two minutes...... Ten minutes...... There are no imagined paranormal phenomena...... I sighed, it seemed that it was time to abandon the idea that I had been holding on for more than a year, in fact, it could not be said that it was a year, and it could be said that I had such a dream since I could remember......

"The rent here is really cheap, I only charge 300 a month, water and electricity are all included, I don't know whether to say that I am lucky or unlucky, I have a place to live, and the next thing is to find a job. By the way, there seems to be a small advertisement on the telephone pole downstairs before......"

I started talking to myself, it would be a distraction, and by the way, since I moved here, should I say hello to the tenants here?

Where I live, there are a total of five floors of residential houses, each floor has six single rooms, and then this building is standing alone on the edge of the rural town, to the east is the rural town, to the west is a road leading to the city, in the true sense of the urban and rural junction. There is a bus to the city in the town, but there is also a bus stop where I live to the west, compared to the bus stop in the town, I am downstairs to the west of the bus stop closer, I now live on the fourth floor, the fifth floor is not a residential area, and it is not open to us for the time being, so I haven't gone up, the fourth floor seems to be my family, the other five rooms are not lived, it turns out that the whole floor is my family, some careful loss, I went downstairs, I actually saw the girl I saw on the broken bread before, Isn't the girl who responds to my smile living in that building on the other side of town? How did you move over?

I greeted her: "Hello, we've seen you in the car, you live here!" Coincidentally, I live upstairs, and I'll take care of it in the future! ”

The girl smiled and nodded to me: "Take care of me in the future!" By the way, I'm going to go down and buy some daily necessities, do you want to come along? ”

"It's such a coincidence, I just happen to buy ...... too"

That's it, I went downstairs with this beautiful girl and walked to the town, in fact, I have already bought daily necessities, but it's okay to buy more daily necessities, this town is called Dongmu Town, there are not many shops in it, most of them are residential areas, and the only convenience store stands alone in a somewhat bleak night, this store looks out of place with Dongmu Town, it is more like a department store in the city, bright lights, automatic sensor glass doors, and the salespeople inside, It's completely different from some of the retro buildings in Winterwood, and I was surprised that I actually knew the salesperson here! It's also the girl in the van before, it's another younger girl, she still wears a cotton hat, her long black hair is scattered over her shoulders, and her neck is a somewhat old scarf, at the moment she wears those headphones even if she goes to work, she actually works as a salesperson here, where does she live? Did you just come to this winter wood town? Or are they locals? How old is she? Do you have a boyfriend? Can I talk to her? What was she listening to?

My eyes stayed on the girl until another girl who had come with me to buy groceries poked me on the waist.

"Oh, you're done?" I scratched my head in embarrassment, and at the same time stole a glance at the reaction of the girl with the headphones, after all, I was embarrassed to stare at people like this.

"Well, you can buy it quickly, buy it and we'll go to the town......"

That's what the girl in front of me said to me.

"My name is Jia Xunwu, what about you?" I said this out of the blue.

The other party obviously realized that he didn't know the names of the two parties for so long, and said with some embarrassment: "Hmm...... My name is Ma Yuerong, I just came to this strange city and need some friends, it's nice to meet you, here I want to make friends with you, are you willing? ”

The ponytail girl in front of me looks very beautiful, and at this time she has the shyness of a girl, and more I feel the warmth from her, there is no other meaning, only the joy of being able to make friends in a strange city.

I stretched out my hand and shook hands with Ma Yuerong in the convenience store, in front of the headphone girl, at this time I had already made up my mind, I may have liked the young girls working in this convenience store, and Ma Yuerong who shook hands with me in front of me will become my friend, I will cherish them.
