Chapter Three: Something on the Shoulder
"Congratulations to the two of you for successfully passing the second level and entering the final test, but today's time is not early, you go back and rest first, as for the content of the third level, I will inform you tomorrow." The baboon man snapped his fingers, and the oil lamps on both sides of the stairs spontaneously combusted, illuminating the way he came.
"Whether it is the scene layout or the operation of the mechanism, it is in place, which is beyond the psychological acceptance ability of ordinary people." I secretly approved in my heart, yes, in my eyes it was just a pretentious interview, and I firmly believed that there was no venom in those three glasses of water, which was the main reason why I dared to drink it directly.
"Wait a minute." Just as I was about to turn away, the baboon man hooked my hand, and when I approached him, he said directly: "Have you offended someone, you have such a dirty thing on your body." ”
"What?" I didn't understand what he meant at all.
"Have you been suddenly weak recently, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and you will have insomnia and oppressive feeling when you sleep?" I was shocked by the baboon man's words, how could he know my physical condition so well?
"Baboon...... Handsome, you ........"
"Hehe, you're trying to ask me why I know, right, it's easy, because I saw it, and it was lying on your left shoulder, huh....... Now it's running to your right shoulder again. ”
Hearing him say this, I quickly turned my head left and right, my shoulders were empty, what was there, he was bluffing me?
"However, the right shoulder really seems to have become a little heavier, is it a psychological effect?" My brain was a little dazed, and I looked at him suspiciously.
"It's useless to ask more, if you can pass the third level, I'll help you get rid of this little ghost, if you fail to break through, you two just go down together." The baboon man's voice seemed to become cold, and he sternly instructed us not to tell outsiders what we saw here, otherwise......
He didn't say how it would be, but he made a motion with his hand to wipe his neck.
Walking up the stairs of entry, it opens automatically as it approaches the wooden door, as if to send off a guest.
"Hmm." Stretching comfortably, I could clearly feel that the temperature outside was much higher.
"Ghosts! There are ghosts inside!! ”
The bucktooth god muttered, pulled me out and ran outside, and ran a lot out of the alley before he stopped out of breath.
"By the way, call the police!"
The bucktooth man then remembered that he had difficulty finding the police uncle, and when he pressed the button, I remembered the baboon man's warning, but I thought it was just a threat, so I didn't remind him.
"Hey, it's the police station, I'm ......"
Before the words could be spoken, the bucktooth man's face changed drastically, as if he had eaten a dead fly.
"It's really uneasy that you forget what you just said." On the other end of the phone, it turned out to be the voice of a baboon man, and the number displayed on the screen of the bucktooth man's mobile phone changed from 110 to a weird "4444".
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the Bucktooth man's mobile phone exploded for no reason, the power was no less than a single-barreled cannon, the Bucktooth man's right hand was instantly reduced by half, and the five fingers exploded and flew horizontally, because the phone was close to the right face, his right ear was directly blackened, and half of the skin of his face was also burned flesh and blood.
If I hadn't reacted quickly and kept some distance from him, I guess even I would have suffered!!
But that's not all, the high-voltage wire above the bucktooth man's head leaked inexplicably, sucking him in.
I saw that the void lit up, and the bucktooth man's entire body rose into the air.
In the next second, he fell to the ground with a heavy fall, and there was still undissipated flames on his body, and there was a foul smell of burnt meat in the air.
Preliminary judgment, the burn area is as high as 100%, what is the concept of 100%?
That's skinless!!
"Drip 5~Drip 5~"
The red and blue police lights drove away the darkness, and justice was late, but not absent.
"Put down your weapons, put your head in your hands, and don't move!" The police uncle surrounded me, and a tall and thin young man who came with the car hurriedly explained that he was one of my few friends, nicknamed Monkey, and that he had called the police after hanging up the voice call.
It took a short time for an ambulance to arrive at the scene, and the bucktooth man had long since lost his vital signs.
"Zhang Han? It's really you, why are you here? "When a young girl in a white coat and a disinfectant mask saw me, her deep eyes were filled with surprise.
Hearing this familiar voice, I was also embarrassed, I didn't expect to meet my ex-girlfriend - Zhang Qian on this occasion!
"Alright, let's bring the people back first." The police interrupted the awkwardness of the reunion and pushed me into the police car with a slight rough push.
"Qianqian, do you know that lewd man?"
"He's me....... An ordinary friend, not very acquainted. ”
The conversation between Zhang Qian and her colleague echoed in my mind for a long time.......
————
It was already two o'clock in the morning after the confession, and I was wandering the streets like a lonely ghost, thanks to the monkeys.
To the police, I lied.
The bucktooth man's death is too weird, and the phone number of "4444", there are many coincidences, it is inevitable!
Could it be that —
There really is a ....... in this world
Before I knew it, the light of the sunrise was shining on my palms, and it was dawn.
I dragged my tired body back to the alley at No. 42 Qingming Street, took a deep breath and walked inside.
Gone, the dark green wooden door gone?
When asked nearby residents, they said it was a dead alley with no buildings in it, let alone wooden doors.
When I came out, I heard the mournful cry of suona, and someone nearby was mourning, and I stopped and looked inside when I passed by.
I looked through the mourning hall and saw the image on the offering table, this deceased man felt a little familiar to me, but I obviously hadn't seen him?
Took a cigarette and got the words out of the neighbor's mouth.
The deceased was a dwarf, who died tragically from a car explosion, and last night was his first seven,
After listening to his narration, my scalp exploded, isn't this the paper-burning uncle I met in the alley last night?
Ghosts burn paper for themselves?
It's over, it's over, good luck didn't bump into it, it hit the big ghost!!
I suddenly remembered what the baboon man had said, and looked in the mirror again, although my shoulders were empty. But it's really one high and one low, and I can't lift my shoulders, as if my hands are pressing down!
"Is there really anything dirty?"
My atheism was torn apart last night, and I abandoned it after witnessing the tragic death of the bucktooth man. I'm scared, just imagine, if there is an invisible ghost lying on your stomach, can you not be afraid?
"Knock-knock-knock-"
A rhythmic series of knocks on the door brought my mind back to reality.
"Who?"
I shouted, but the person outside the door didn't reply, and continued to "knock-knock-knock-".
"Here we are."
I picked up the electric baton and walked cautiously towards the door, it was ten o'clock in the evening, and the landlord would definitely not collect rent at this point, but no one else had knocked on my door except her on weekdays!
Looking out through the cat's eyes, I didn't see anyone, and before I could breathe a sigh of relief, my spirit suddenly tightened: "Why can't I see people outside?" “
The cat's eye is normal, and you can see the stairway outside, but no one is standing at the door.
"Knock-knock-knock-"
The knocking continued, and I secretly swallowed my dry saliva, and slowly leaned down, my cheek on the ground, and my eyes swept to the crack at the bottom of the door.
Shoes, there are a pair of black leather shoes worn by adult men!
"Feet but no body?" I made up for the existence of the outside world, and said that I was not afraid that it was fake, but I was afraid that it would not solve any problems.
"It doesn't matter what kind of bird egg you are, if you scare Lao Tzu, you have to be discontinued!" I yelled to boost my morale and kicked the latch open.
"Huh?"
There were no demons and monsters in front of him, just a lonely pair of new shoes.
I stretched out my eyes and swept the staircase, but there was no sign of me, it was ....... who had just knocked on the door
A pair of ordinary leather shoes, with a bloody "V" logo printed on the toe and a scribbled note stuffed inside.
"The third level, put on these shoes, please set off from home at 10 o'clock tonight, and arrive at the Old Town God's Temple outside the outskirts of Tai Po Tau before 12 o'clock, remember, don't overtime." According to the content of the note, it can be judged that these shoes were sent by the baboon man, and they are also an important prop to the third level.
It is worth mentioning that the baboon man is quite polite, and he knows how to knock on the door!
On the back of the note is a line of small red letters: Take care of your brain and don't let me down.
What does that mean, is this an appreciation for my brother?
Although I don't know what will happen after clearing the customs, I dare not be careless if I fail to clear the customs and there must be no good fruit to eat.
Carefully inspect the shoes inside and out, there is nothing unusual, the quality is quite good, and it is very comfortable to wear.
Open the Gaode map, search for the location distance, the location of the suburbs of Tai Po Tou is relatively remote, there are more than ten kilometers away from me, not very close, but it will take less than half an hour to take the car.
"It's a little strange, the third level, it's that simple?"
