Lin Chen got off at the latter stop.

His mood was still very upset. Do you want to go to work tomorrow? He doesn't have much to store for his next satisfying job. went to work and saw Shi Chunzhu's annoying old face again, which was more uncomfortable than killing him.

The crisp ringtone of the mobile phone woke Lin Chen up from his boredom.

"Where?" Xu Aqi called.

Lin Chen held the phone in his hand, turned around, and the words "Hongdu Market" across the road jumped into his eyes, and he said to the phone: "Hongdu Market." ”

"What? Visiting the market alone? ”

"Hmm!"

"Not bad! I have grown, I know how to live, and I finally know that life needs firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea! ”

"No, it's a bad mood, wandering around by yourself, so I'm here for a while!"

"Oh, you wait for me, I'll go now! Let's go to the market together! I was just looking to buy a powder, my colleague Fox is going to have a birthday, and I'm going to buy her a birthday present! Last time I had a birthday, she gave it away, so I have to give this gift back! ”

As long as shopping and shopping are mentioned, Xu Aqi is excited, and Lin Chen can feel it over the phone.

Lin Chen knew that Xu Aqi, who entered the mall, was a cow that had entered the vegetable garden, and he couldn't pull it out for a while. Trying on, looking in the mirror, taking off again, taking it again, and repeating it, it's really annoying!

It's a hassle for a woman to buy something!

Therefore, accompanying Xu Aqi to go shopping and shopping is really a big thing for Lin Chen. And this time, there is another reason why I don't want to go shopping with her.

Facing the phone, Lin Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "I think you better not come over!" Hongdu Market is far from home, and now it is the rush hour after work, and it is crowded! I wander around by myself, and I want to be quiet and quiet! I'll be back in a while! ”

Lin Chen didn't know how to tell Xu Aqi that he was about to lose his job.

"Alright then, I'll just go over! Well, after work, I also go around outside and go back. It's so boring to sit all day today! Let's eat out for dinner! I'm really too lazy to cook! ”

"Well, okay! I'll go to the supermarket by the way, buy some early tomorrow and go back, and you can go home early after shopping! ”

Lin Chen put away his mobile phone and walked in the direction of the vegetable market, but after taking a few steps, the mobile phone suddenly rang again, Lin Chen took a look, and it was still Xu Aqi calling.

"There is no salt at home, bring back a bag of salt!"

"Got it!"

Towards the market, the phone rang again.

This time, Lin Chen was a little impatient.

"Hey, can you tell me all at once? The one on the left and the other on the right, saying, what else do you want me to buy back? Soy sauce? Steamed bread? ”

On the phone, there was a hissing noise, and then, there was no sound. Inexplicable, silent phone call, the same as last time.

Lin Chen was stunned, and suddenly felt that his heart was beating wildly. He turned his head, looked around, and there was nothing special about it, so he put the phone to his ear again, and whispered into the phone: "You, are you human?" Is it a ghost? ”

A woman's whispered response came from the microphone: "Let's go play!" ”

Let's have fun!

Not again! Lin Chentie grimaced, looked at his mobile phone in a daze, put the mobile phone to his ear, and made no sound.

It was eerily quiet on the other side of the phone, and after about a minute or two, there was a blind "beep-beep-" tone.

Lin Chen stood at the door of the market, turned the sound to silent in the settings of his mobile phone, and then walked into the market.

……

Xu Aqi walked home alone, and at the corner of the roadside, an underground shopping mall was opening.

She had always loved to join in the fun, and she stopped curiously, looking back and forth, left and right, and she was wondering if she should go in and have a look.

"Sister, go get a manicure! We have just opened, and there are so many discounts! ”

A young man handed over an advertising leaflet.

"Manicure?"

"A lot of people are doing it now! A woman like you, who is so fashionable, would be OUT if you didn't get a manicure. If you do your quasi-insurance, you like, really, don't lie to you, delicate women, many of them do nail art, it reflects your taste, is a symbol of your dignity! Besides, we've just opened, half price! You can also get a membership card. ”

The young man who spoke, like a southerner, was thin, with short yellow curly hair, revealing a smooth forehead, he spoke in a small voice, his face was immature, and his eyes were sharp like a leopard when he looked at Xu Aqi.

"Sister, it's still very cost-effective to get a nail art now! It's only half price, and it's not much! It's all fun! Dare I say, you'll love it when you're done! ”

The young man's words made Ah Qi a little tempted, and she pursed her lips, as if she was still hesitating.

"Sister, just make one! I'm also new here, so it's a favor for me, and you look like you're a kind and kind person. We also have a raffle! You scan the QR code and you can participate! ”

"And the lottery? However, even if I won the prize, I don't know how to claim it! ”

"It's okay, when the time comes, you can come to me!"

The yellow-haired young man saw that Xu Aqi was still hesitating, so he smiled and said, "Sister, take your mobile phone, scan the code, and take a photo with me, I don't know how to get it, just come to me!" There are photos and you won't forget! You can rest assured! Help me, help me! Thank you, sister! ”

Xu Aqi was a little embarrassed to get up, so she took out her mobile phone, scanned the code, and after taking a group photo, followed the yellow-haired young man into the newly opened mall, found the nail counter and sat down.

There are not many customers at the nail counter.

"I'll look at your hands!"

The nail technician with a ponytail, a fair complexion, and red overalls sat opposite her, perhaps because of the needs of work, she wore a blue mask, leaving only a pair of crescent-shaped eyes that seemed to be smiling, not smiling, and looked at Xu Aqi with a blink.

"Oh!"

"Haven't you done this before?"

Xu Aqi stretched out a hand and put it on the platform.

"Nope!"

Carefully looking at Xu Aqi's hand, the nail technician praised again and again: "Your hands are really delicate and jade!" Yes, it's even more beautiful with a manicure! ”

The manicurist, with his rubber-gloved hand, opened his work box with a swift twist.

"You've complimented you!" Xu Aqi smiled slightly.

This is the first time in my life that I have done a manicure! Imagining that the well-groomed nails must be very beautiful, Xu Aqi, who likes novelty things, felt her little excitement.

"Did you know? Although the nails are not as important as the face, they are the most wonderful part of the hand, and the sexy and bright red slender nails are easy to form sexy associations with men; Neat and beautiful nails will make people feel good. The ten fingers of the slender are another implicit criterion for evaluating people. The manicurist said.

"There is so much attention to nails? You are really professional! ”

"Yes! The smaller the place, the more it can represent a person's taste and cultivation! What color do you like? The choice of color for nail art is based on your preferences and the color of your clothes. ”

The nail technician's eyes were raised, and the eyes above the blue mask were fixed on Xu Aqi.

"I'm more casual and love a lot of colors! My clothes are all kinds of colors! ”

"Well, that's easier. The more popular nail polish at the moment is translucent beige, as well as red, pale red. Light-colored nail polish is the most fashionable nowadays. Nail polish can be mixed at will, you don't have to buy a lot of nail polish to cope with the color change of clothing, just buy a few main colors, use overlapping colors, and you will receive unexpected results. I'll try this beige one for you first, using a brilliant method, it can make a space feeling, very beautiful! ”

"What does it feel like to be in space?"

"That's right! If you don't believe it, you close your eyes, I'll do it, you open your eyes, and you feel this way! Don't peek in the middle, otherwise it will affect the effect. ”

Xu Aqi's first contact with nail art, this fashionable and innovative new business, can indeed attract the attention of women who love beauty. She was also a little tired, so she closed her eyes and counted it as a rest.

Time passed minute by minute, and Xu Aqi could feel that the nail technician was working on her fingernails, trimming her nails, cleaning and soaking, wiping and trying, oiling...

Unconsciously, Xu Aqi fell asleep, she had a dream, in the dream she was in a house, in the middle of the room is a small square table, covered with elegant cloth decorations with light chrysanthemum patterns, put ancient pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and a painting hung on the opposite wall, on the picture is a few children. A look of joy and joy.

"Bang dang!"

The door was slammed open, and Xu Aqi was so frightened that she suddenly got under the table.

The small heels made a crisp sound when they stepped on the ground, from far to near, straight down to the table.

Under the table, Xu Aqi saw a floor-length red dress.

Suddenly, the tablecloth was lifted.

She was grabbed by a woman dressed in red, pressed against the table, dipped her pen in ink, and drew black dots on her white fingers, once, twice, three times, and the black ink spots seeped between her fingers, seeping through her skin, seeping into her flesh, her nails, her fingers, her whole hands were a little bit, piece by piece, piece by piece, piece by piece, blackened.

She screamed in horror and woke herself from her dream. When she woke up, she saw the manicurist in red sitting across from her.

Xu Aqi looked down at her fingers, her hands covered by a whole piece of white silk cloth.

"Can I see it?"

Xu Aqi suddenly remembered that she had just listened to them and forgot to ask the price, in case she was slaughtered, where would this be reasonable? Thinking about it, she felt a little uneasy.

"How much does it cost to make a pair of hands here? Sorry, I just forgot to ask! ”

The nail technician was speechless, tilted her head slightly, stretched out her hands, took off the rubber gloves on the other hand with one hand, and slowly took off the mask on her face with the hand that was not wearing gloves.

This face, very white, a little frighteningly white, still like a smile and a crescent-shaped eyes drooped low, and she continued to take off the glove of her other hand, moving unusually slowly.

Exceptionally slow! It's like slow motion in film playback.

The gloves were finally completely removed from her hands, and Xu Aqi froze.

Six fingers!

At this time, Xu Aqi's face was also the same as her face, as white as window paper. Look closely at the nail technician, so familiar!

Xu Aqi exclaimed, shook the white silk scarf on his hand, and the white silk scarf slipped off.

Ten black nails.

"You?" Xu Aqi trembled, at this time her heart was beating like a drum and her mouth was dry.

She suddenly found that this face, she had seen, the six-fingered woman outside the glass window of the coffee bar, Lin Chen had said, she was a corpse.

The woman stretched out her hand, the hand with only six fingers, and grabbed Xu Aqi's arm, and the bright, colorful nails were curved and hooked, piercing into Xu Aqi's flesh.

Sweat oozed from Xu Aqi's aching forehead, "Why are you arresting me?" ”

Blood, oozing from her arm.

"You?"

Xu Aqi tried to retract her arm, but the woman grabbed her dead and didn't let go.

looked at each other, which frightened Xu Aqi.

The manicurist's delicate face in front of him was changing, and his eyes were red, like a red-hot soldering iron.

"Let me go! Yes! ”

Xu Aqi screamed in fright and slapped her hand with her purse.

Her later memories of this incident were a little vague, as if someone had come up and lit a fire, and the flame rose upwards and burned to that hand, and that hand was released.

Xu Aqi ran away.

She was scared!

When I went back that day, I went straight to bed, covered my head in the quilt, and still shivered all over my body.

Lin Chen came back very late, and when he saw that she had already slept, he didn't say much and lay down quietly.

At night, Xu Aqi woke up from nightmares again and again. The last time, she grabbed the sheets with both hands, the bruises on her forehead were exposed, and her face was covered with sweat. He sat up from his bed.

"What's wrong?"

"Hell yes!"

"Today?"

"Hmm!"

"What happened today?"

Lin Chen also sat up in a daze, draped the quilt over Xu Aqi's body, and watched her in pain.

"I'm scared! Scared the hell out of me! ”

She grabbed Lin Chen's arm with her sweaty hand and shook it desperately, telling him about the terrifying nail technician she had experienced today, telling him what she had seen in her dream.

"Oh! All right! All right! Don't be afraid! ”

Lin Chen patted Xu Aqi's back and comforted softly.

"That nail technician is terrifying! Her face was a blur of blood, and her fingers were dry and bony, and her long, curved nails pierced my arms, and when I pulled them out, the curved nails were full of my flesh and blood! ”

As he spoke, Xu Aqi stretched out his arm, rolled up his sleeves, and showed his bare arm to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked at Xu Aqi's arm and checked it up and down, but there was nothing unusual, not even any traces of injury.

"Well, see for yourself, the arm is good! There are no injuries! Lin Chen said.

"What's going on! I saw blood all over my arm! ”

Lin Chen looked at Xu Aqi puzzled.

Will what Xu Aqi said be true?

Could it be that Xu Aqi also suffers from hysteria?

Nervous disorders?

It was already late at night, and Lin Chen didn't want to dwell on this problem anymore, so he said, "Sleep!" Maybe nothing happened! Don't scare yourself! ”

Xu Aqi thought for a moment, turned over and got out of bed irritably, and nervously found his mobile phone in the corner of the house.

When she presented the photo on her phone of the yellow-haired young man who pulled her to do a manicure in front of Lin Chen, Lin Chen was stunned.

Isn't this man the straw yellow in the subway!

In the talent market, he appeared strangely again, and stood with the woman in black.

Now, he is entangled with Xu Aqi again!

The weird nightmare is unbelievably real!

Again, it's not a nightmare at all!

This night, Lin Chen couldn't sleep for a long time, he opened his eyes wide, looked at the ceiling, and his ears were Xu Aqi's chaotic dream words from time to time, and outside the window, there was a sound of insects, like crickets chirping.

Lin Chen turned over uneasily, thinking to himself, would the thing he was worried about really happen!

Lin Chen thought of the fortune teller's words, and his master might be able to help them. Although there is little hope, there is still hope in the end!
