When he lived at Han Shiwan's house, which was not far from the school, Lu Ran usually passed with his friends in the class...... When his parents went home, Lu Ran's route home changed, and he could only pedal his bicycle back.

"My parents are back, we have to go this way tonight."

"Mm-hmm, see you tomorrow."

Lu Ran, who said goodbye to his friends, rode a bicycle alone, played a song "Shrimp Catcher" on a loop, and galloped home on the trail.

"Knock knock!"

Suddenly, a strange knocking sound actually overshadowed the singing in the headphones, coming from the quiet and uninhabited street, prompting Lu Ran to pause the song playback and slow down his riding speed.

The front end is about a hundred meters away.

The street lamps next to the street are dim and flickering due to the unstable voltage.

What's more, there was a woman in white squatting under the electric light...... The weird knocking sound was coming from her.

When he got a little closer, Lu Ran found that the woman was not squatting...... Instead, he was facing the street lamp and kneeling on the ground.

The sound of the knock is produced by the woman constantly banging her head against the lamppost.

If such a scene were seen by some timid people, they would probably be frightened and scream.

Lu Ran stabilized his mind, stepped on the foot pedal hard and accelerated, and when he passed the street lamp, there was a burning sensation in his spine.

At the same time, the knocking stopped abruptly.

When I looked at the street lamp again, the woman from before was completely gone.

This scared Lu Ran out of a cold sweat, his brain was almost blank along the way, and he rode home quickly.

"What's going on?? Is it because of the influence of the Hell's Road? Could it be that I have acquired the legendary yin and yang eyes, which can see unclean things...... No, the woman in the white Hanfu just now is very similar to the puppet in my house! ”

Thinking of this, Lu Ran opened the door of the house with an anxious mood, only to find his parents lying peacefully on the sofa, talking and laughing watching TV programs.

Seeing that his parents were fine, Lu Ran was also relieved, but ...... The strange puppet is still sitting next to the TV, and I think back to the woman I bumped into on the way from school, and it really looks exactly like the puppet.

Thinking of this, Lu Ran's scalp was a little numb.

didn't stay in the living room for a long time, and hurriedly returned to the bedroom, closed the door and locked it.

"Keep watching...... If something like this happens, I'll have to find a way to collect 'evidence' and upload it to Hell's Road. Calm down and start your homework. ”

After all, Lu Ran is still a high school student, although his parents often go out, he has developed an independent personality very early, but it is difficult to completely calm down and analyze when dealing with this kind of abnormal incident.

The puppet incidents kept emerging, causing Lu Ran to make the workbook extremely slowly.

"Apply the force to the horizontal and vertical directions, and the acceleration formula...... It's finally done. ”

Lu Ran closed the workbook and leaned back in the chair to stretch his waist.

At first glance, it was twelve o'clock in the night.

However, you can still hear the sound of TV programs through the bedroom door...... Neither of my parents likes to stay up late, so I go to bed early on weekdays.

Crunch!

Lu Ran pushed open the door and looked in the direction of the living room, the TV was really still on, but the sofa was already empty.

"Did you forget to turn off the TV?"

Lu Ran didn't think much about it, walked to the living room and pressed the switch of the TV.

Just when the TV was turned off, Lu Ran was startled.

With the help of the moonlight pouring in from the window, the dark TV screen reflected not only Lu Ran squatting on the ground.

On the sofa behind Lu Ran, there was also a woman in white, her feet closed, and her white palms fell on her knees very dignifiedly.

With black hair covering his face, his hands on his knees, he sat quietly and unusually quietly.

“…… Call! ”

Fear spreads like a drop of ink on the surface of a calm brain lake.

Increased heartbeat, increased blood pressure, breathing disturbances.

In the silent living room, only Lu Ran's rapid breathing could be heard...... It's not a game, it's a strange thing that happens in reality.

'Turn on the lights'! The only thought in my mind is immediately translated into actual action.

Lu Ran climbed and turned on the switch of the chandelier in the living room as quickly as possible.

When the pale yellow light occupied the living room, Lu Ran gained a temporary 'sense of security'.

When she turned her head to look at the sofa again, the woman in white disappeared and was replaced by a 'doll', leaning straight on the sofa.

Even with enough light, Lu Ran still didn't dare to touch the puppet...... Just carefully pull out your phone and take a picture of the puppet.

Instead, wash as fast as possible, lock the door, and go to bed.

But when Lu Ran just walked out of the bathroom and faced the door of his parents' bedroom, his face became ugly.

At some point, the wooden bedroom door opened a gap about the thickness of an arm's length.

Lu Ran's home is a simple structure of two bedrooms and one living room, and his bedroom is opposite his parents' bedroom.

Therefore, Lu Ran was very sure that the previous bedroom door was in a 'closed' state.

"When I first came out, I didn't open the ......"

Lu Ran cautiously approached the past, wanting to see through the crack in the door to see if his parents were sleeping normally.

Slowly...... Slowly, the eyes come closer and closer.

Just when Lu Ran's eyes were pressed against the crack in the door.

Airplanes!

A huge eye suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the door, only one centimeter away from Lu Ran's eyeball.

"Hmm......"

Lu Ran was so frightened that he took three steps back, covered his mouth with both hands, and slowly suppressed the agitated emotions aroused by fear.

If you look closely, it is no one else who is staring at him...... Exactly the 'Mother'.

The mother, who was wearing white pajamas, was standing straight in the dormitory, staring at Lu Ran with huge eyes through the crack in the door...... He stared at it quietly, neither speaking nor opening the door.

Grunt.

Lu Ran swallowed a mouthful of saliva, slowly stretched out his hand and shook it, and found that his mother did not blink, as if she was 'sleepwalking'.

Lu Ran hurriedly turned around and returned to the bedroom, and the wooden door was locked.

"There's a problem! The puppets brought by my mother had a huge problem, and I had to think of a solution. ”

For some reason, Lu Ran was in a state of high concentration due to intimidation, and it should have been difficult to sleep.

After lying down on the bed, a warmth was released from his back, prompting Lu Ran to fall asleep quickly...... When I woke up, it was half past six the next morning.

When I opened the door of my bedroom nervously and scared, I smelled a familiar scent.

Mother is in the kitchen making Lu Ran's noodles from snacks to big ones.

"Xiao Ran, are you awake?"

The mother in the kitchen was normal, and she was the same as when she stared at Lu Ran coldly through the crack in the door last night.

"Good...... Mom, I hit a ghost last night! When I went to the living room to turn off the TV for you before going to bed, I found the doll sitting on the couch by itself. ”

The mother who was cooking noodles didn't take it seriously at all, "You, you must have watched too many horror movies and made a fuss." Last night, I was watching TV on the sofa with the puppet, chatting with your dad and suddenly getting sleepy, forgetting to turn off the TV, and throwing the puppet on the sofa. ”

"This ...... Is that so? ”

When Lu Ran turned his head to look at the sofa, he found that the puppet had returned to its original position.

In fact, compared to the strange things of the puppet, the appearance of her mother standing in the bedroom last night to 'peep' on the outside made Lu Ran even more afraid, and she was also extremely worried about her mother's health.

The noodles made by his mother were still just as delicious, and after Lu Ran gulped down all the noodles, he asked tentatively, "Mom, did you sleep well last night?" ”

"I slept well last night, and slept until dawn."

"Do you sleep until dawn...... Well, then I'm going to school. ”

Lu Ran felt an indescribable sense of discomfort, urging him to change his shoes and leave this familiar home quickly.

When Lu Ran closed the door, he found that the puppet on the TV counter deflected around on its own, staring at him with eyes like dead fish.
