Chapter 035: The Red Rope That Can't Be Shaken Off
There was a man who followed me all the time, holding a red rope, constantly changing tall, short, fat and thin, even everyone I knew.
As long as I stay in one place for more than 24 hours, he will appear near me and slowly get closer.
Then he squatted at my feet and tied the red rope in his hand to my feet.
I didn't know what he was doing, but the first time, I was quick to avoid it and shout accusations.
But what I didn't expect was that what I saw was the strange eyes and whispers of the people around me.
At this time, I realized that no one but me could see him, and he was like a person in my imagination, only existing in front of my eyes.
I was scared, so I had to keep running away, and I even had to be careful about the time I had to go home, but fortunately, 24 hours was a long time, so I could easily escape.
Gradually, I even turned this evasion into an instinct, and gradually, I ignored his existence.
Until one day.
I lay asleep in my bed, and in a daze, I felt an itch in my feet.
When I sat up, I was horrified to find an old woman I didn't know was tying the red rope in her hand to my feet, the knot had been tied, and I only needed to pull it lightly, and the red rope would tie me tightly.
I shrank my feet quickly, and my whole body curled up on the bed and shivered.
The old lady had no expression on her face, and slowly walked around the bed to the side, holding the red rope in her hand and stretching it out again.
Fear stiffened my whole body, and apart from the ignorance of the moment, it was the first time I had been so close to him. It wasn't until the red rope touched my ankle that I violently reached for the other side of the bed.
The old man glanced up at me slightly, still without any expression, and slowly walked to the other side, and continued to stretch out his hand.
Regaining a little bit of my senses, I jumped out of bed with a scream and ran to the living room.
The parents who heard my voice were only powerless in the face of my fear, they didn't believe everything I said, and even secretly said that they would take me to the doctor.
But I clearly saw that the old woman was right behind them, walking slowly towards me, and the red rope in her hand was so conspicuous.
I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I ran out in my pajamas amid the anxious cries of my parents, and I didn't stop panting until my aunt's supper shop.
With my aunt's comfort, I gradually calmed down, but I still didn't feel the slightest warmth, and deep fear surrounded me.
Not just because of that scene, but because I discovered a terrible truth.
It's not 24 hours yet.
No one could help me, not even my aunt, who loved me the most.
In the days that followed, I plucked up the courage to face it, only to find that the time was gradually shortening, 23 hours, 22 hours...... 18 hours, 17 hours...... In the end, there were only three hours left.
As long as I stay in one place for three hours, he will appear with a red rope and come towards me little by little from a distance.
The evenings were the hardest, and after the alarm clock was confiscated by some angry parents, I had to force myself to wake up every once in a while.
My body was crumbling day by day, and my parents, who thought I had a mental problem, began to take me to all kinds of psychiatrists, who didn't know anything and even forbade me to leave the hospital in order to make money.
I had to allow myself to behave normally, and a deep sense of loneliness haunted me while escaping being treated as a psychopath.
No one understands me, no one helps me, and no one even believes me at all.
I was lonely and avoided the red rope that would come to me at any time, and many times, I wanted to give up, but every fear made me run away unconsciously.
Time is getting shorter and shorter, and one day I can't escape, and I will finally be tied to that red rope.
......
After telling her story, Li Xueer did not show any fear, as if she was talking about other people's things.
Ling Tian and Ling Tongyu couldn't help but look outside the store, but Li Xue'er showed a smile: "There is still an hour and 21 minutes before he comes." ”
She didn't look at her phone, but she accurately reported the time, but that faint smile made people feel inexplicably heartache.
"So ......." Ling Tian nodded: "Do you want to prove that what you saw is true?" ”
"No, I know that's true. I just want to know, how to let him stop pestering me, people don't know, ghosts may know. ”
When she said this, Li Xue'er's expression was a little excited.
Ling Tian nodded and agreed, but even if he took Li Xue'er's money, the system did not sound a prompt like the hearse incident.
Li Xue'er had obviously learned in advance, and had already walked over and turned the roulette wheel in Ling Tian's surprise, not giving him time to react at all.
The roulette wheel spun rapidly, and after a while, it slowly stopped, and Ling Tongyu read excitedly.
"The person who loves you the most: she loves you very much......." Ling Tongyu scratched his head: "What do you mean, you don't even have an address?" ”
Ling Tian ignored her words, the information of the system had already arrived.
'Ding'
Horror Tourism System: Only fear can make people awe.
Mission: Love
Reward: Random
Note: She is the person who loves you the most, and she will not hurt you even if she gets hurt.
"What do you mean, there's not even a hint?"
Ling Tian couldn't help but complain, he was a step slower because of reading the system information, which caused the strange eyes of the two women, and hurriedly coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.
"Ahem, I'll go to the bathroom."
Walking into the bathroom, Ling Tian immediately took out He Yao's ballpoint pen, touched the cracks on it, and asked the doubts in his heart.
Soon, a distinctive black card appeared in the air and landed on the washstand with a snap.
"The person who loves you the most is often forgotten by you, but she still loves you deeply. Taboo: She won't hurt you, it's just that you have to make your own choices. ”
Ling Tian read it again, this time there didn't seem to be any danger, but all the information was very vague, making people confused.
walked out of the bathroom, put the card in front of Li Xue'er, and the three of them looked at each other.
I racked my brains and didn't think about how this project should go.
In the end, I sighed with emotion, and sure enough, the person who loves you the most has been forgotten by you.
Without clues, in the end, you can only take the most foolish way.
Ling Tian took out a pen and paper: "Li Xue'er, who are the people who love you the most, you can tell them one by one." ”
Li Xue'er nodded and counted them one by one: "My parents must love me, as well as my aunt and cousin, ......." ”
Dense names soon appeared on the paper, and even Li Xueer blushed and said the names of some male classmates.
Looking at the names on it, the three of them were weak for a while, it was better not to write it, not only did it have no effect, but it made several people even more confused about where to start.
Ling Tongyu shouted irritably: "Ah, how do you get this?" You can't just ask them all. Besides, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you love her, but it looks like you are using evil magic to harm people. ”
Ling Tian's heart moved, and he repeated Ling Tongyu's words, and finally kept chanting four words: "Cast evil arts." ”
