Chapter 19: Thunderstorm Night
Gundam and I didn't speak all the way, and when we got to Junfa City, we went our separate ways. Gouda said that he would go to the property first to find out the situation, and then he would go to the room number mentioned in the letter in the evening.
"I'll just squat there all night and see what happens." He said.
I really admire him.
Why did he have to work for half a day with such a heartless and unending letter? If it were someone else, the letter would have been thrown in the trash, just a prank by a boring person.
So, does the person who wrote the letter know Gundam very well? Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to write him such a letter.
Neither Gundam nor I mentioned that the letter said that they were asking for my help, as if they had forgotten that sentence.
Actually, of course, neither of us can forget, and Gouda doesn't mention it, and of course I'm happy not to mention it. Confucius has said that it is not about me, and I really don't want to be nosy.
The most important thing at the moment is that I have to find a job, and I'm unemployed now.
Of course, the most important thing now, of course, is to go back and sleep hard with his head down.
When I entered the elevator from the basement floor, there happened to be two men carrying wood into the elevator, blocking the elevator and not letting me go.
The two men looked very honest and sweaty, kept apologizing to me, and gave me a cigarette and five packs of blue yellow fruit trees.
Finally moved out, and I saw that they were on the seventh floor.
"Which one are you decorating?" I asked casually.
"Seventy-two." The tall, fat middle-aged man in light blue overalls said as he handed me another cigarette.
I said it happened to be upstairs in my house.
The middle-aged man hurriedly laughed and said, "That's really embarrassing, I've been hitting the cabinet for the past two days, and the sound is a little loud." ”
I said it didn't matter, but I thought to myself, if what the letter said was true, would it be the two people in front of me who died, or one of them?
This middle-aged man has a black forehead, and if my previous guess is correct, then it is likely that this man will suffer some kind of unwarranted disaster.
Seeing him so smiling and so friendly, I really hope my guess is wrong.
The man probably noticed that I was looking at him strangely, and he was just smiling awkwardly.
I couldn't care about it anymore, so when I returned to my house, I immediately threw down my computer bag, stripped myself naked, and got into the bed.
Soon, I fell asleep.
I had a lot of strange dreams, and one of them still had a little impression: I don't know what terrible thing is chasing me, I can fly, desperately escape, but the sky and the earth are full of wires, I can only keep running high and low, through the cracks; Several times I was cornered and there was no escape.
The dream was vague, but the feeling of fear was clear.
I was woken up by the sound of thunder.
It was already night, and it was pitch black in the room.
It was raining outside, with thunder rolling and lightning blazing.
Suddenly, I felt as if all my hair was standing on end.
In the corner behind the door, there seems to be a person, a black one!
I quickly propped myself up, held my breath, and stared at the corner.
The rain was falling, the thunder was loud and light, but there was not a single lightning for a long time, and the room was as black as ink.
Here it comes!
A blinding flash of lightning flashed.
The room lit up instantly.
I rolled over in an instant, knelt on one leg on the bed, and asked sharply, "Who is it?" ”
I swear, I've never been so agile before.
The lightning flashed, and the room was plunged into endless darkness.
No one answered me.
But I'm pretty sure I can see clearly, there was definitely a tall, fat man standing in the corner behind the door, still a man!
I clenched my fists tightly, my body trembled involuntarily, I didn't dare to breathe, and I was afraid that even the other party could hear the sound of my heartbeat.
"Who the hell are you?!" I asked again.
Still no response.
After a long time, I remembered that I was really scared and stupid, and I forgot to turn on the light.
I quickly grabbed the ashtray on my bedside table and used all my guts...... Turned on the switch on the head of the bed.
The room suddenly lit up, and the light was dazzling to the eyes.
However, behind the door was empty, and there was nothing.
The door was closed, and the room was clear at a glance, except for a large bed, only the large wardrobe.
I held the ashtray tightly and slid the sliding door of the closet around, but I still didn't notice it.
I jumped out of bed and rushed out of the bedroom room barefoot, turning on all the lights.
However, not only in the bedroom, but also in the living room, the second bedroom, the kitchen, and the bathroom, nothing was found.
I searched the whole house for a long time like crazy, and even opened the cupboards and bathroom cabinets to find them, but I still found nothing.
Finally, I sat down on the sofa in the living room, threw the ashtray in my hand on the coffee table, and gasped for breath.
At this time, I realized that my heart was beating so badly, really hard, almost from my neck to my mouth.
I thought I had seen so many incredible things in the past few days, and I shouldn't be afraid, but now I understand that "fear" is the instinct of being a person, if you want not to be afraid, unless you become a ghost yourself!
At this time, I thought back to the person standing behind the bedroom door just now, and it seemed that he was the same decorator I met during the day.
It should be him.
Could he really ......
I suddenly wanted to go upstairs and have a look.
However, I still didn't dare, I didn't dare to go out on this thunderous and lightning rainy night.
And the upstairs door should be closed, I can't get in.
"What are you looking for?"
A sudden sound startled me and I jumped up from the couch.
"Ahh
Zhu'er covered her eyes tightly and quickly turned away.
My day, it turned out that it was Zhu'er's voice just now, and I forgot that there was an old ghost in my house for a thousand years.
I went limp, and I fell to the couch.
"You called a fart, you almost scared me to death!" I say.
However, Zhu'er seemed to be more scared than me, covering her eyes, not daring to let go of her hands, facing the wall, and not daring to turn her head back.
"Do you respect your own identity, you yourself are a ghost, what are you afraid of?" I didn't have the heart to say it.
"Master......" said Pearl, tremblingly, "you...... You're not wearing clothes......"
When I looked at myself, I was naked.
This time it was my turn to blush.
I'm used to sleeping naked, and when I got up to look for someone just now, I didn't have time to get dressed. And I was originally my home alone, and my bare ass was nothing, who knew that now there is another "person"?
I hurried back to the bedroom to put on my clothes and pants, and went back to the living room to sit down on the sofa.
"Alright."
Bead slowly turned around, carefully opening her fingers a slit, and then let go of her hand with a sigh of relief.
"Don't talk to me so suddenly in the future, I was almost scared to death by you just now." I was a little embarrassed, but I didn't want to apologize to her, but warned her in a blunt tone.
"Oh." Zhu'er seemed to be a little aggrieved, and asked again: "Master, what are you looking for in the middle of the night?" ”
My eyes lit up.
This is a thousand-year-old ghost in front of me, and this time comes in handy.
"I woke up just now and found someone in the room, but I searched for a long time but didn't find ......"
Zhu'er sniffed around a few times and said, "Master, you may have seen a ghost." No, it's not a ghost, it's a living soul, someone just died. ”
My heart pounded: "How do you know? ”
"I smell it," Pearl's grinning said, "Pearl's favorite thing to eat is to eat raw souls." ”
I didn't understand the meaning of her words for a while, and hurriedly asked, "Is there a dead person upstairs?" ”
"Does the master want Zhu'er to take a look?" Zhu'er said with big eyes.
"Go check it out, go check it out." I said hurriedly.
"Oh."
Zhu'er's body floated up and disappeared through the ceiling.
I didn't have to wait long for Pearl's return.
On the ceiling first appeared two feet, then two legs, then the waist, and then the whole person.
The beads fell to the floor.
"Someone is really dead," Jewel said, looking at me, "a tall, big, fat man, who was strangled to death." ”
It turns out that it's true......
