Chapter 197: A Strange Signal
No matter how I press it, the phone is the same as a brick, and nothing is reflected.
I wanted to drop my phone, but ......
Whoop - Whoop –
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the room, which made the nerves in my whole body tense up in an instant!
What the hell is this...... What's going on? Did I hear me wrong? But the sizzling sound seemed to be in a corner of the room, like a ...... The same is true for broken signals......
I held my breath and looked around, but there was nothing.
Am I going to stay here tonight!? After realizing this kind of thing...... My mood immediately went up and down.
Sitting down silently against the door, I hugged my legs tightly.
It's so cold between my fingers that I don't have my instincts, but ...... I still can't do anything about it.
Bell Bell Bell –
Suddenly, a shrill phone call came, and I was so frightened that I got up from the ground!
The voice...... It's like the sound of a vintage telephone from the last century, a retro mechanical sound......
It seems to be coming from outside the door, but ...... I did see a phone when I first came in, but how could it still work!?
Click—but after the phone rang for a while, it suddenly disappeared into the room as if it had been interrupted by something.
My ears were pressed against the door, but I didn't hear any sound again.
Could it be that I'm having auditory hallucinations? I subconsciously thought so, but ......
Then the voice rang out again, and the sudden sound made my hands tremble!
But again, it seemed to have been interrupted, and it disappeared completely......
……
I don't know how long it took, but I felt a glimmer of light coming in through the window.
I stood up slowly, but I felt that my legs were all numb, and I had to stand up with difficulty holding on to the door frame.
I was not hopeful at all to see if I could open the door, but ...... The doorknob opened the moment I touched it!
There was a crisp click, and I was stunned in place!
After the door opened, I hurried out of it and passed by the phone downstairs...... I couldn't help but look twice.
But it was just an old-fashioned, ordinary-looking telephone, covered with a layer of transparent gauze, as if to prevent it from falling into the ground.
But it didn't ring, it just sat there quietly.
As soon as I remembered last night's voice, I couldn't help but shudder, and hurried out of this house—
It was early in the morning, and there was no one around, so I carefully closed the door and hurried out of the place to return to the school while no one was around.
……
But when I went back to school, when I mentioned it to Yan Yun, I didn't expect her to know!?
She actually knew the name of No. 28 Mingfu New Street!
I looked at her in a daze, I didn't expect it......
"Have you forgotten who my grandfather was? His old friends always had time to catch up on old days, and that's what I overheard at that time. Yan Yun shrugged helplessly.
"Did your grandfather say anything else?" I hurriedly asked.
"Uh...... It seems that I heard that the people who used to live in it have been wiped out, and no one has lived in it since. Yan Yun recalled.
But my heart is even more uneasy, it was Chunyang who called me over, why...... Will it involve the previous extinction of the door?
The point is...... I heard the driver master say that this house has not been inhabited for at least decades, and the woman ...... When the hell is the person!?
Thinking of the white shadow I saw that night...... I couldn't help but shudder.
"Are you alright? What do these things do? She gave me a strange look.
"What if I say...... I spent the night at 28 Mingfu New Street last night, can you believe it? I asked, looking at her gravely.
At first she thought I was joking, but ...... As if seeing my serious expression, she slowly began to become suspicious.
"You're not really going to get past it? What are you going to do there? She asked, lowering her voice.
"Because of a woman, the wife of the old man of the nail household...... Seems to have haunted me. I sighed helplessly.
But Yan Yun seemed to be frightened, and immediately took two steps back and looked at me in horror.
"You...... You're not kidding?! ”
I shook my head, is this kind of thing a joke, and...... Even if it's a joke, I won't make such a joke, okay!?
"Do you believe—"
Knock Knock Knock –
At this moment, there was a sudden cramped knock on the door of Mr. Chai Yi's office.
I hurried to open the door, only to find a strange man standing in the doorway.
It looks very unfamiliar, but ...... I glanced back at Yan Yun and found that she also looked confused.
"Who are you looking for?" I turned around and asked, only to find that the man's eyes seemed to be on me from the moment he opened the door.
"Are you Lu Yan?" He asked coldly.
I nodded subconsciously.
"With your courier, sign for it at the door." He still maintains that flat tone, so that people can't hear joy and sorrow.
My package? But I haven't bought anything online at all, have I? I hesitated and didn't leave with him.
"Don't you take it? Then I'm going to have a hard time. He said without looking back, as if he knew I wasn't following.
I was shocked and hurriedly followed, could this be the courier? But the couriers are ...... now Is it so weird?!
I followed him to the courier car at the school gate, and he handed me a package, which looked ...... It's like a book.
"Please sign for it." As he spoke, he handed me the bill and pen.
I quickly signed my name and saw the man drive away.
"What kind of courier is this? Aren't there all storage points now......" At this moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from my ears, and I turned around and saw two girls passing by.
"Drop off!?" I blurted out subconsciously.
The two girls seemed to be startled by my voice and looked back at me strangely.
I quickly covered my mouth and left the place as fast as I could.
Even if there is less criticism of me in school now, but ...... I have to say that my negative impact is still there.
When I returned to Mr. Chai Yi's office, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you alright? It was as if I had just finished a long run. Yan Yun quipped, I casually put the courier on the table, and drank several sips of water before slowly relieving myself.
"Can I take it apart?"
I waved my hand casually, but I guess it was the wrong one anyway.
But after a while, Yan Yun suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Wow, that's pretty too, right!? Did someone else send you one!? Do you still have your name written on it? But this font is really like yours......" Before Yan Yun's words were finished, I jumped up from the stool at once!
"What did you say!?" I looked over suddenly—and I saw that Yan Yun was holding a ...... in her hand Very familiar book.。
That book...... As if I've just seen it......
There are also intricate patterns on it.,Surrounded by the whole book.,Like a product of the Middle Ages in the eighteenth century.。
Isn't that what it is...... Did I see the notebook in that room last night!? Why...... Will it suddenly appear here!?
I quickly took it and opened it, but the handwriting inside was clear...... It all shows that this is the book I saw last night.
But why is that? My mind is a mess now, and I don't know what to do.
……
Back in the dormitory, I just want to throw away this notebook, but ...... I didn't dare.
I don't know why it ended up in my hands, but ...... Definitely has something to do with last night.
Did you know my notes? But someone who has a similar note to me...... That's a lot, isn't it? And the name on the title page of the cover ...... It turned out to be my own signature......
What the hell is going on?
I sat at my desk and flipped through the pages of notes, stunned for how long.
I just think it...... When I came back to my senses, it seemed to be getting dark.
Trembling hands picked up the pen on the table, I thought about it all afternoon, but decided to ...... Get your feet wet......
[Who are you?] ]
I wrote these three words, but just as I lifted the pen, the notebook ...... It seems that the traces are slowly starting to appear......
It was like a font that had been blurred by water and slowly became clear, and finally appeared in front of me.
I looked at the font in a daze, and for a moment...... The nervous heart beats wildly!
[I'm Liyang.] ]
Three crooked words...... It appears right below my words.
[Are you...... The owner of that house? ]
I wrote another one.
[No, it's my father.] ]
Immediately after that, I wrote in the notebook, looking at the name...... I even had a woman in a very old-fashioned dress come to mind.
But who is she? Why are you chatting with me today, decades later......
[notebook...... Is it yours? ]
[Yes, why in your hands, who art thou?] ]
I was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer...... But after saying this, there was no movement, as if waiting for my answer.
I struggled to organize the language.
[I'm Lu Yan, a student from City B.] ]
[How did you get it...... Why ......]
After writing this sentence, it seemed to disappear, and I wrote a few more lines, but the notebook didn't reflect anything.
It seemed like that yesterday, when it seemed like the key information was about to be spoken...... It's as if the book has suddenly lost its magic.。
It couldn't be more ordinary.
What the hell is going on? Am I ...... What secrets do you know?
When I looked up at the sky, it was gradually darkening, but the doubts in my heart made it impossible for me to stay in the dormitory at all.
I got dressed and set off—
……
When I arrived at the crematorium, I immediately felt an eerie aura blowing in my face, and I was not feeling good.
The occasional strange sound in my ears...... and the white figure that can be seen from time to time dangling by......
I seem to have gotten used to it, and this time I found the old lady's room accurately, but ...... But I saw that the door was locked, and I knocked on the door and no one opened it!
What the hell is going on!? I looked up at the number again, and there was nothing wrong here, but ...... Why isn't that old lady here!?
My heart suddenly became a little uneasy, could she ......
I quickly shook my head to get rid of this bad idea, is there something wrong with her? That's right, it must be like this......
silently brainwashed himself in his heart, but ...... The pounding chest still betrays my nervousness now......
What should I do now? The only person to negotiate is not there now...... Am I going back?!
But suddenly a spirit stirred me, and I remembered a familiar person......
Employees of that crematorium!? I quickly picked up my pace and walked in that direction—
I don't know how I remembered the room that the old lady had brought me to that day, and when I got to the door, I realized that the door of this room was unlocked!?
I was a little confused, should I go in...... But now that there's no one here, I don't know if there will be any bad results for me to go in without permission......
