Chapter 25: Fear
The pajamas, which should have been light and comfortable, were all soaked with sweat at the moment.
The boy sat still all the time, but he could feel himself sweating like rain, and his whole body was already sticky.
Because of his fear, his extreme fear suddenly turned into pure anger, but he didn't dare to look back directly at what was behind him, but turned his anger on his parents.
Why......
Why is that......
Obviously, they just couldn't sleep before, and if they wanted to get up and play games, they could often find out, and then they often came over and scolded them!
Now I really need them to come over, but they can't find out?! Are you really biological? They are not qualified at all as parents!!
As the minutes passed, he stared anxiously and terrively at the reflection of the dark screen of the computer, to be precise, at the "thing" that was reflected-
Am I being too neurotic? What's going on?
If I look back, I won't see anything, I won't see anything......
But what if it's really "that"?
The boy was almost breaking down and maintaining his current state, every second was an unimaginable torment, he didn't know how he had persevered until now, but he felt that he might have gone crazy.
Or are you in the middle of a nightmare? And it's the kind of nightmare that you can't get rid of?
He didn't know how many times he had tried to deny reality, desperately trying to convince himself that it was impossible.
Unfortunately, he was not able to convince himself, and the "thing" behind him did not disappear.
Slowly, he even noticed that the air in the room seemed to be filled with a rather thick moisture.
It seems that in addition to the sweat oozing from his body, it seems that there is some other source of moisture in the room......
But the boy kept his posture stiff for an unknown amount of time, and he only had the courage to roll his eyes slightly, so there was no way to look back to see what was going on.
And not only did he feel that his cervical spine was getting stiffer and stiffer, but even his whole body was about to lose consciousness.
Staying in one position for a long time, not to mention the slightest thing, and being affected by the breath of the "thing" behind him, his state is being tortured both physically and mentally......
Unlike ordinary people who have no inspiration and no psychic ability, this boy belongs to the more gifted category.
But—
Since he can see, it means that he has established a certain connection with beings who do not belong to this realm, that is, he can be interfered with.
Therefore, it is definitely not a good thing to be able to "see" without "power" at the same time...... It should be said that there is nothing more unlucky than this.
Maybe only a few minutes have passed, maybe it's been hours, and the sweat makes the boy's eyes tingle.
But he didn't dare to blink his eyes, just stared wide, staring-
Although what he saw was really crushing and terrifying, closing his eyes would make him even more scared...... The strange aura had been peeking behind him, as if waiting for an opportunity to come.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from behind him! It seems that that "thing" is about to make a move!!
“……!!”
The boy suddenly felt a chill on his back, goosebumps all over his body, and at the same time, a chill rose from his shoulders and went down his back!
"Ahhhh——!!h
He couldn't bear the growing fear anymore, he screamed like crazy, jumped up like an electric shock, picked up the monitor on the table and threw it behind him!
He couldn't sit still!
No matter what the situation was, even if it was really his own hallucination, he had to make sure that there was nothing behind him!
In order to escape from this state of really collapsing and clearing the SAN value!!
Bang!!
The wires of the computer monitor were rudely torn and thrown on the floor with great force, instantly bursting into four or five pieces, and sparks flickered!
This was followed by a series of collisions, or the loud sound of something heavy falling to the ground!
Even the residents downstairs were startled by this unusually obvious movement, so it was naturally impossible for the parents, who were only separated by two walls, not to know!
The father woke up from his sleep, and then immediately got out of bed and put on his shoes, and cursed, and opened the door and went straight to his son's room, in his opinion, the boy must have stayed up late playing games again!
And he actually dared to smash things irritable because he lost the game?!
This time it must make him look good!
"Taro!"
The wife rubbed her sleepy eyes, and hurriedly put on her shoes and walked out of the room quickly, she frowned tightly, she was resentful of her son, and she was also worried that her husband was really mad, and he didn't do it lightly.
Bang!
The sound of kicking the door open made his wife's heart jump even more.
She quickened her pace, but as soon as she reached the door of her son's room, she heard not any angry scolding coming from the room, but some strange sounds that seemed to be a dull struggle.
Inside, it seemed that all kinds of debris were scattered all over the ground, computer monitors were torn apart, desk lamps were also thrown to the ground, and tables were overturned.
The wife only felt a suffocation in her chest and hurriedly rushed into the room, trying to stop her husband from beating her son. Although he is usually a little grumpy, he doesn't really do it.
But the current situation is different, coupled with the bonus increase of getting up qi, his blood is surging for a while, and it is very possible that he can't control himself under the rage!
"Taro, don't ......"
Goko's anxious mother rushed into the room, and just as she screamed, it stopped abruptly.
Her pupils contracted suddenly, and there seemed to be a cold air coming at the back of her neck, giving her goosebumps all over her body.
The room was dim, and only the lamps on the floor could illuminate some places, but it was enough, and the woman realized that what was going on here was not what she had imagined.
His son seemed to be strangled by something invisible, and he was pressed against the wall, his legs half a meter off the ground.
He waved his arms desperately, kicked his legs indiscriminately, and struggled with all his might.
Although it seemed that his struggle was of little use, the husband had already rushed forward desperately, pulling hard at the "thing", trying to save his son.
Even if there is no physical existence, it can be interfered with in reverse at the moment of launching an attack or physical interference, so under the punches and kicks of the father and son, a pale and abnormal color is faintly revealed in the air.
It seemed to be a vague phantus of a woman with a cloak of hair, and two arms that were also as white as dead people strangled the boy's neck.
Someone's order is not to take the initiative to attack, but once attacked, it is certainly impossible for these ghosts not to fight back...... In fact, this "thing" has just been confirmed and is ready to leave.
But the boy broke down in fright, and at the last moment he could no longer maintain his composure, and attacked when it was about to leave.
Compared with the average person who is ignorant and unconscious, he can see nature and be able to contact it, so although the effect of his attack is negligible, he still attacks, so naturally that "thing" is instantly ferocious.
But the bottom line is also there, so in fact, it can't really hurt people, at most it can only make people lose their mobility.
Therefore, if the parents are not alarmed, the boy will actually pass out until dawn, and wait until tomorrow to start wondering if he is having a nightmare, or simply doubting life.
Nothing else would be a big deal, but at that time, his parents would certainly not believe his nonsense.
But what kind of ending will this situation end with...... It's a little hard to say.
"Ah——!!h
At this time, in the midst of the high-pitched screams, the mother finally broke free from the cold and sudden fear and rushed forward.
……
……
At the same time, the city under the darkness of the night.
At the intersection of a busy shopping street, a restaurant is located by the window on the second floor.
"I see it! I really saw it! Just ...... Why don't you believe me! ”
The man roared profusely and his voice trembled, revealing an unconcealable panic.
The tie of his suit and tie was torn open, and the buttons of the white shirt inside were also unbuttoned, and he was pulled to the side at will, looking a little unkempt.
But in fact, he had just escaped from a horribly dark part of a nearby backcountry street, and had seen with his own eyes something that would collapse his worldview.
Until now, he sat in the brightly lit place, hoping to dilute his fear with the noise and screams of the other customers in the store. However, instead of abating, the feeling has become more and more severe.
He always felt as if he was about to suffocate, and the more he tried not to think about what had just happened, the more he couldn't help but think about it, and eventually he even ran out of breath.
The most important thing is that the woman opposite not only didn't believe in herself, but even thought that he wanted to rely on that kind of means to keep her...... It's a great shame.
"Kota Nishida, please be serious, even if you want to play tricks at this time, you can at least find a better reason......"
The woman mocked the other party coldly, and picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of the drink, her expression cold and her eyes disdainful.
She felt that this man was really getting more and more naïve, and now he even dared to use the kind of nonsense he just said as an excuse, so naïve that it was almost disgusting......
When she remembered that she used to think that such a person was more pure-minded and didn't have so many hearts, she was a little disgusted.
"What I say is true! I didn't mean to be late, and I didn't think about using such a clumsy way to play tricks! Kota Nishida said in a low voice.
"Oh, whatever you want, anyway, we have to sign the divorce agreement by the end of the month......" the woman said with a shallow mocking expression on her face, biting the straw.
A wave of anger suddenly surged in the man's chest, and he shouted hysterically, "I'm not going to do it to this extent...... Don't be sentimental! ”
“……”
“……”
The shop on the second floor fell silent for a moment, and the noise of the previous noise seemed to be gone, and the surrounding customers cast surprised glances.
After a few seconds, all eyes were focused on the woman, with an element of pity and sympathy.
Clearly felt this strange gaze, the woman almost didn't bite off the straw at once, she felt like she was going crazy. But she still held back her anger, put down her cup and grabbed her bag—
"Good! Then I'm going to go to the place you mentioned before, and I'll see how you can make up a story!" ”
"Huh?"
Kota Nishida was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, but when he subconsciously stood up and was about to chase after him, he suddenly touched the table again and knocked over the drink.
I was in a hurry for a while, but when I came back to my senses, I found that the woman's figure had appeared on the road outside.
"Hey, you wait for me!"
