Chapter 1: A Strange Beginning
I don't remember when it started, my favorite and closest girlfriend Cai Wei became more and more strange, and her personality changed from lively and cheerful to depressed now.
And the communication between us became less and less, and the look in her eyes when she looked at me gradually changed from the initial affection to a very strange look.
In her eyes, I was not her lover, like a dispensable object, and her temper became more and more irritable, often arguing with me over trivial matters.
Even more bizarrely, at night when we lay in the same bed and slept, I always had nightmares and couldn't get a good night's sleep.
This feeling became more and more uncomfortable as time went by, as if there was an invisible and insurmountable gap between us.
Although Cai Wei's personality began to slowly change invisibly, becoming more and more unfamiliar. But I love her and know that she loves me too, so I have been tolerating and comforting myself, all of this is my own heart, and it will always pass.
Because I firmly believe that as long as two people who love each other are together, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.
But what I never expected was that this was just the beginning of the nightmare.
Since then, strange and terrifying things have been happening around me......
……
My name is Shen Qinsheng, I was born in a single-parent family, I have no father since I was a child, and it was my mother and my grandparents who brought me up.
When I grew up, I went to school, graduated, and now I work in an advertising design company, with a decent salary, and I am also fortunate to meet this beloved woman.
It's all step-by-step, ordinary, and even your own life can see the end.
But the change came so suddenly, so without warning. When the trajectory of fate unconsciously deviated from a sleeper and slid from side to side, the monstrous waves that set off instantly overturned me.
In the summer of 2016, when I was returning home from work one night, something strange happened to me without warning.
First of all, a sheepdog called 'Chasing Life' that I raised when I was a child in the family saw me when he came home, and all the hair on his body stood up one by one, watching me bark like crazy.
No matter how much I called it, it didn't help, as if it were not its owner standing in front of me, but a stranger. The more I shouted its name, the more it screamed at me, like I had never seen before, so fierce and crazy that it would immediately break the chain and rush up to tear me to pieces.
At this moment, standing in front of the door, I was confused, I couldn't figure out what was going on, and I wondered if the dog was crazy, and I couldn't even recognize the owner who raised it.
With the continuous screams of chasing life, Cai Wei ran out of the house when she heard the sound, and when she saw that the person standing in front of the courtyard door was me, she was also quite puzzled, she began to shout for the chase to stop screaming, but the chase didn't seem to know the two of us, and still looked at me and screamed like crazy.
In desperation, I had to pick up a wooden stick by the wall, shouting and walking towards the chase, I did not do this because I really wanted to hit it, but to scare it and make it shut up, after all, it was screaming vigorously at night, and it would definitely make noise to the neighbors nearby.
But what I didn't expect was that as I walked towards the forehead with the stick in my hand, it screamed louder and more urgently, and this kind of cry ...... It's like chasing my life and seeing that I'm its mortal enemy!
"Chase for your life! Stop yelling, shut up! Call to beat you again!! I said and waved the stick in my hand at it.
When the chasing man saw me make this action, he did not show the slightest fear, but went even more crazy towards me, and his strong body kept rushing towards me, and the chain that tied it was also pulled by it.
Seeing the current appearance of chasing life, I glanced at Cai Wei who was standing on the side, and suddenly had no choice.
"Qin Sheng, why don't I call the nearby veterinarian to come and take a look?" Cai Wei looked at me and asked loudly.
As Cai Wei's words just fell, the chasing suddenly stopped screaming, and the hairs that had been standing up on his body fell down at the same time, and the sudden change of chasing life made me a little unexpected, and I hurriedly threw the wooden stick in my hand on the ground, looked at it and shouted:
"Chase for your life."
After hearing me call it, the chasing life snorted, wagged its tail at me, stuck out its tongue, and the look of treating me as a mortal enemy just now was completely gone, as if it recognized me again at this moment.
Puzzled, I tentatively walked towards Chaser, stretched out my hand and touched its head, and Chaser sat on the ground obediently, and poured my ears backwards, still touching its head.
"Caiwei, what's wrong with chasing it today?" I touched the head of Chasing Life with my hand, and asked Cai Wei who was standing next to me puzzled, Chasing Life was raised by me since I was a child, and this is the first time it has done this to me in so many years.
When Cai Wei heard my words, she also glanced at the chasing side and said:
"I don't know what happened to it tonight, it's not just you, you also saw it, it's ...... It doesn't even seem to even recognize me. Regarding the strange performance of chasing her life tonight, Cai Wei was also confused.
"Forget it, let's do this today, and tomorrow if you have time, take it to the veterinary hospital on Shannan Road." I said and walked into the house, today is another overtime, tired day, after work I want to eat a good meal, and then take a shower and sleep comfortably.
Cai Wei said yes after me and entered the house with me.
After eating the dinner prepared by Cai Wei, I accompanied her to clean up the dinner table.
After cleaning up, I sat on the sofa alone and watched TV, for some reason, but at the moment I completely lost the mind to watch TV, I always had a bad premonition in my heart, and my right eyelid began to beat non-stop......
The extremely abnormal performance of chasing life tonight has always made me feel a little unsteady in my heart, but I can't say where it is not steadfast, as if something is going to happen.
"Qinsheng, what are you thinking there?" Cai Wei, who was sitting next to me, looked at me in a daze and asked me.
"I didn't think about anything, but the company has been urging a few tight advertising plans recently, and I'm a little tired." I said.
After hearing this, Cai Wei got up from the sofa, went to the kitchen to help me warm a glass of milk, brought it over, and handed it to me:
"You drink the milk first, and when you're tired, rest early, it's hard for you."
I smiled, took the milk that Cai Wei handed me, drank it in one gulp, a wave of tiredness followed, and with a yawn, I went straight to the bedroom to strip and go to bed.
While I was asleep, I had a long, long dream that I was dead, and I saw my slowly blackened body lying motionless on the bed......
When I woke up from this nightmare, I broke out in a cold sweat and sat up from the bed.
When I woke up, it was already slightly bright, I let out a sigh of relief, turned my head to look at myself, Cai Wei lay quietly next to me, she was sleeping soundly at this time, her long eyelashes and fair skin made her look even more moving at this time.
I couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Cai Wei's cheek, she works for a foreign trade company and works from 9 to 5. I always thought that I could have a girlfriend like Cai Wei because I had accumulated virtue in my previous life.
She is such a beautiful girl who is willing to work hard with me, and we can't live up to her, so I have always been diligent and diligent in my work, although I sometimes feel very tired, but I have been with her for more than a year, I have lived a very fulfilling and satisfying life, she is a very sensible girl, and she is also very gentle, kind, and her personality can also make me a person with a temper that is not too good.
After retracting my hand, I glanced at the watch on the wall, it was half past six in the morning, and it was time to get up and get ready for work.
I took a deep breath and got dressed, and just as I got out of bed, I saw some small black dots under the bed, which were not very large, but they were very obvious on the wooden floor.
After I saw those small black spots, I squatted down in confusion, but a very light burnt smell came into my nose, I was even more puzzled, and hurriedly reached out and touched the small black spots on the floor, and the black spots stuck to my hands, as if they were ...... It seems to be paper ash left over after burning paper.
After confirming that these black dots were paper ashes, I was immediately confused, how could there be such a thing in the bedroom where Cai Wei and I slept?
"Qin Sheng, what are you doing squatting there?" Caiwei's questioning words came from behind me.
After hearing her words, I hurriedly turned my head and said:
Cai Wei, do you think it's weird? I could see paper dust on our floor, and I could smell burning. ”
When Cai Wei heard my words, she immediately walked off the bed, and she looked at the black dots on the ground, and she was also confused:
"It's really weird, did it blow in from the outside yesterday when I opened the window to ventilate?"
This little speck of black paper ash can also be blown into the house by the wind? Although I was puzzled, I didn't take it too seriously, washed and ate and went to work.
However, more terrifying strange things followed......
