Chapter 33: The Ghost Is Coming
Qin Ming was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, listening carefully to the sounds of the outside world, and he hadn't opened his eyes since he heard the clock at zero o'clock.
Jiang Qian was already asleep at this time after thinking about him for a long time and being completely ignored by him. The reason why Qin Ming let Jiang Qian live with him was not because he wanted to use him as a guinea pig for experiments, but completely out of the idea of wanting to protect him.
Otherwise, if he didn't care about Jiang Qian, with Jiang Qian's atheistic tone before, he would never light any candles, so it was basically impossible to survive.
If you want to say that the most likely victim to be spared, it should be Xu Lu, who lives with An Zili. It's not that he is optimistic about Xu Lu, but he thinks An Zili will try his best to help her.
Qin Ming didn't pay too much attention, because doing so would only make him more uneasy, after all, he didn't have much confidence in this method of closing his eyes in his heart, so sometimes it was not a bad thing to let his attention diverge a little.
There was an endless stream of movement outside, but he and Jiang Qian were unexpectedly quiet here, and it felt like nothing was going to happen.
However, he was not paralyzed by this feeling, in fact, the more calm he seemed, the more cautious he became. This is also one of the lessons he has learned from participating in so many events, because the most important thing that sneaky things to do is to surprise you.
And the unexpected premise is to let down your guard and be unprepared.
As a veteran, Qin Ming will never allow himself to make such low-level mistakes, and he will unswervingly do and execute whatever he decides, which is also the biggest characteristic of his character.
From the time Qin Ming heard the bell at midnight, it had been about ten minutes before he suddenly smelled the smell of danger.
He heard a series of knocks on the door, followed by the sound of mirrors shattering in the bathroom. Then he heard the sound of the door lock being unlocked and footsteps coming from the bathroom.
Because his eyes were closed, he couldn't see the situation in the room at all, but from this series of sounds, it was not difficult for him to judge that in addition to him and Jiang Qian, there were at least two ghost things in this room.
One was at the door, while the other was walking from the bathroom towards the bed he was in.
And faintly, he seemed to hear the sound of a knife cutting through the wall.
More than 70% of human beings' understanding of the world is understood through their eyes, so every able-bodied person will be in the habit of believing in what they see, and they will rely on their eyes to observe the world they live in.
This is also why people are so afraid of the relationship between the dark, not because of how terrible the dark itself is, but simply because people are not used to it, and their eyes lose their due role.
Qin Ming, like most people, is habitually afraid of things that his eyes can't see. If someone asked him what kind of ghost he was most afraid of, he would definitely reply that he couldn't see what kind of ghost he looked like.
Human fear is not pure, so strictly speaking, the vast majority of people cannot accurately distinguish what fear is and what is despair. However, these two emotions are very easy to distinguish here in Qin Ming, because when looking at him, the emotion that arises from the unknown is fear, and in turn, what is born from the known and cannot be solved is despair.
Perhaps because of this, the sneaky will usually kill the victim after they actually see it. For it is only at this stage that the fear it acquires is at its purest.
Like his current state of mind, he is trapped in the purest fear.
The eyes cannot be used, and they can only judge the changes in the outside world as much as possible through sound. He was sure if there were two ghosts in the room, or more ghosts, and if they still had any sharp weapons in their hands.
They may have fierce eyes, or they may be smiling, and although he is already trying to control his brain, he will still place all kinds of images that make his scalp tingle, and those who are slowly approaching him.
And just as he noticed the sneaky approach, it suddenly felt a change in the bed, as if someone had just climbed onto the bed.
"Are there three ghosts in the room?"
Qin Ming kept taking deep breaths, trying to alleviate this fear to the greatest extent, but it didn't take long for him to be frightened again.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Qian suddenly asked him in a daze, and Qin Ming replied after hearing it:
"It's okay, go to sleep. You just dreamed. ”
"It's not Qin Ming, what are you touching on my face!"
As soon as Qin Ming's words fell, Jiang Qian said again dissatisfiedly. This time, Qin Ming didn't speak again, because it was obvious that the hand that was on Jiang Qian's face was not his.
"Talking to you Qin Ming,, you're crazy."
Qin Ming heard the sound of Jiang Qian waving his hand vigorously, and then, the mattress sank down a few more points, obviously Jiang Qian sat up.
"You must not open your eyes......"
"What is this TM! Qin Ming, wake up, puppet! There's a doll in bed! ”
Before Qin Ming finished speaking, Jiang Qian suddenly shouted, and then he felt that someone was constantly pushing him.
"Hell! There are ghosts! ”
After Jiang Qian pushed him a few times, he didn't know what he saw again, so he heard a plop, as if he had fallen off the bed.
Qin Ming's heart was beating uneasily, obviously Jiang Qian had opened his eyes and saw the sneaky appearance.
"Is it a puppet?"
Qin Ming suddenly thought of the contents of the letter.
"Qin Ming! There are ghosts in the room, those puppets...... The puppets are alive......
Help me...... Help me!!! ”
Jiang Qian was so frightened that he cried at this time, and in the process, Qin Ming also heard a series of struggling sounds, and not long after, he heard a series of footsteps fleeing to the door, thinking that Jiang Qian wanted to escape from the room.
The two footsteps were intertwined, and Qin Ming could hear that the two seemed to be a little distanced, in fact, just as he thought, with the sound of opening the door, Jiang Qian's voice shouting for help echoed in the corridor outside.
Qin Ming could feel cold sweat sliding down his cheeks, he was still insisting on taking deep breaths, and trying his best to suppress his urge to take a look.
Jiang Qian's cries for help only echoed in the corridor for a few seconds, and then he returned to calm with a terrible howl, obviously, he had been killed by sneak.
Qin Ming wasn't sure if Jiang Qian was chased and killed by the sneaky people in the room, or if he was dealt with by the curse-like power, if the answer was the latter, then it meant that the things that chased Jiang Qian just now were still here and didn't leave.
In fact, it didn't take long for Sneaky to confirm his conjecture with practical actions. Because he suddenly realized that his hands and feet were suddenly caught by sneakers.
Not only that, but he could clearly feel that a hand was moving up his chest, and finally pressed it on his face.
The body was attacked, which also made Qin Ming subconsciously urge the fire spirit in his body, but the sneaky next action made him calm down again.
