Chapter 03 of the urban romance novel [Elevator Horror].
However, after doing this quietly, I felt ridiculous in my own heart. Am I so superstitious that I take ridiculous memories seriously, because I think all this is too unreliable? If we send this batch of goods over for a while, and Xiao Xiong really says that the customer has changed the order, doesn't that mean that my previous illusory experience is real? Isn't it true that Xiao Liu's mobile phone appeared in the bloodstained elevator everywhere.
Thinking of this, I wish those memories were just my hallucinations. After all, I have worked with Xiao Liu for so many years, and I am also a very good friend, and I don't want him to really have an accident. I hope all this is the illusion that I've been too tired lately. When Xiao Liu and I pulled this pallet into the old freight elevator again, everything was normal, and we went to the fourth floor smoothly. No more bizarre things happened, and I was even more convinced that it was my delusion. For the change of mobile phone time, I guess maybe it is a virus in the mobile phone, and when I go home at night to kill and disinfect the virus, it should return to normal.
When Little Bear saw us on the fourth floor, she didn't say anything, as I expected. I finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was all delusional. After that, Xiao Liu and I unloaded the boxes on the board and put them neatly one by one, and when I picked up the box that was deliberately placed on the top that could change the order, I smiled bitterly again, feeling ridiculous about my previous actions. Just when I put the box and was about to get off work, Xiao Xiong suddenly ran over, answered his mobile phone while running, and said hurriedly when he saw the two of us: "Master Su, there is a customer who has temporarily changed the order, and there is a box of cosmetics that will be taken out immediately, and the customer will come to pick up the goods later!" ”
When Xiao Xiong said the name of the box of cosmetics, Xiao Liu and I looked at each other in surprise and were speechless for a long time......
Because this box of cosmetics happened to be the one I suddenly shouted to ask Xiao Liu not to put in the box. I prevaricated with a joke at the time, but now it turns out that I wasn't joking. The bear finished speaking and left. Xiao Liu glanced at me with admiration, and then looked at the pile of boxes in front of him regretfully, and I saw an emotion called regret in his eyes. I guess I didn't listen to me before I regretted it, and took out that box of cosmetics in advance.
I patted him on the shoulder, smiled faintly, and motioned for him to hand me a wallpaper knife next to him. When I easily found the box, used a knife to cut the tape of the sealing box, took out the box of cosmetics, sealed the box again, and signaled that we could go home from work, Xiao Liu looked at the phone in surprise, and it only took me a minute to get it. What I thought was troublesome and even had to work overtime to solve was resolved by me lightly. This is all due to the fact that I kept an eye on the box and consciously placed it in the most prominent position beforehand.
When Xiao Liu and I entered the old freight elevator again, it was the rush hour after work, and the elevator was crowded with colleagues. In the elevator, I watched the numbers on the floor display constantly change, and it was obvious that the elevator was descending one floor at a time. I felt myself again, everything was normal, no more hallucinations.
After getting out of the elevator, Xiao Liu and I walked very slowly, and when the colleagues around us left in a hurry, we stopped. Xiao Liu looked at me very seriously, although he didn't speak, but I could see from his eyes that he had a lot of questions, obviously my unpredictable prophet just now really surprised him. I don't know how to explain it to him, because I'm at a loss. But when I thought of the previous hallucination, Xiao Liu seemed to have an accident, but at that moment, because of my exclamation, I was awake again, so I don't know what happened later.
I hesitated a little, but still told Xiao Liu everything before. Whether he believes it or not, I feel it is my duty to tell him all this, because it could be his life at stake. I also reminded him to go home right away, and that it was better not to go anywhere, maybe it could change the future. Just as I consciously placed the box in the last most conspicuous position in advance, it changed the fate of the two of us who originally had to work overtime.
After listening to everything I said, Xiao Liu felt incredible at first. But then he seemed to suddenly remember something, and his face was suddenly full of sadness, but the sadness was soon replaced by a hint of surprise, and this surprise gradually evolved into a kind of expectation, but in this expectation there was also a kind of determination.
"Master Su, thank you, I know what to do." After Xiao Liu said this sentence very seriously, he turned around and left. I tried to say something, but I couldn't. There was a trace of very complicated emotions in my heart, a feeling that I couldn't explain and couldn't explain. I suddenly felt that I was really indifferent and that I was not used to caring about others. Looking at Xiao Liu's back as he gradually moved away, I suddenly wanted to shout for him to come back, but I felt that even if he came back, I didn't know what to say. But if I don't call it, I always feel like I'll regret it, and I can't say why I regret it. In this hesitation, entanglement, and hesitation, I returned to my residence.
When I lay on the bed with my tired clothes untied, I quickly fell asleep. When the alarm clock went off, I sat up suddenly, and then I remembered that in my illusory experience, I just lay down without dinner. Can I really predict the future? Isn't it possible that Xiao Liu's accident is also true? Thinking of this, I didn't bother to wash my face, so I rushed out the door.
While passing by the wonton shop, I remembered that in an illusory experience, I also ate four meat buns and a bowl of wontons here. When I saw that there was also a guest eating a bowl of ravioli with a lot of chili peppers, my stomach was hungry again, but I had no appetite at all. Because the red pepper looks like a lot of blood flowing in my eyes. I was even more uneasy, I just wanted to rush to the company quickly, and I would only feel at ease when I saw that Xiao Liu was safe and sound.
However, when I approached the company, I saw the last thing I wanted to see, with many people watching and the police. I rushed over like crazy, and in a moment of hysterical distraction through the crowd, I finally got a good view of what was going on in the elevator.
When I looked at the dark red blood stains everywhere in the elevator and Xiao Liu's mobile phone, I suddenly felt an inexplicable tingling pain in my heart, and inadvertently remembered the most heartbreaking past. I was once glorious, first my dearest person left me, then my best friend left me, and finally even my most beloved person left me. Since then, I have completely fallen into the lowest point of my life, living a life like a walking dead for many years in grief, and finally experiencing seeing through, seeing through and then down. Finally, I was tired of living for fame, profit, and others, and suddenly wanted to live well for myself in the true sense.
That's why I hid all my experiences, came to this familiar and unfamiliar city, and cut off all the interpersonal relationships I once had, and lived a low-key and plain life. The lowest job, pure physical labor, the simplest interpersonal relationships, being able to support myself, being able to calm down to read books, write words, and live the rest of my life in memory has become my last wish.
With this state of mind, I have hardly made any friends in the past year, and I have become more and more indifferent. There are fewer and fewer words, and there is less and less deliberate care and concern for others. But looking at Xiao Liu's phone today, I suddenly felt that I had the feeling of caring about others again. Because it's really warm to be cared for. In the past few months with Xiao Liu, his sunshine and cheerfulness always make me feel very relaxed, his enthusiasm to help people has always moved me inexplicably, and his most sincere concern for me and his clear eyes have also touched my heart that is becoming more and more frozen.
I seem to be gradually recovering to who I used to be, and I suddenly understand that deep down in my heart, Xiao Liu is my friend who cares about the most. After so many years of silence, I finally have a friend to cherish, but because of last night's indifference, did I lose it again? I suddenly regretted it, regretted why I didn't shout last night, keep him, maybe I accompanied him last night, and he wouldn't have had an accident.
However, can we still turn back time? Although I knew the future in advance, I didn't make an effort to change it, just because of my numbness and apathy. All of a sudden, I hated myself so much, hated myself for being so obsessed with grief for so long that I had lost my true nature. Is this still the high-spirited me who dared to challenge any difficulties, and can I still return to my original self? Just as I was sinking into deep guilt, a voice that surprised me interrupted my thoughts......
"You can't go back to the original you, I'll be you from now on, you'll be me, haha......" It suddenly turned dark again, and the huge grimace appeared in front of me again, laughing at me and saying. At the same time, a strong fishy smell entered my nostrils again, and my stomach turned up again.
Looking at the grimace smiling in front of me, I was shocked at first. Unconsciously I want to go back again, but there is no way back. At this time, another grimace also floated, it was actually Xiao Liu! It's just that Xiao Liu at this moment has also become hideous, with a green face and fangs. He didn't seem to know me at all, and he was slowly opening his mouth and floating down my throat.
"What's wrong with Xiao Liu! You devil! Seeing Xiao Liu become like this, my heart ached unusually, and I forgot my fear for a while, and shouted loudly at the grimace that was still smiling.
