Chapter 10: The Nightmare of Glory

(Midnight)

Rong Wei's sturdy body was sweating profusely and was doing the most primitive reproduction movement of human beings on the bed, when a baby's cry broke the picture extremely incongruously.

In this silent midnight, Rong Wei was stimulated by the sudden cry of a baby. In this 20-storey room, it is so quiet that you can't even hear the traffic downstairs, the opposite door is an empty house, and upstairs is a newlywed couple, who have no children at all and have not heard that they have relatives recently.

"Whose child cries in the middle of the night, it's so fucking annoying."

"Why didn't I hear that?"

Rong Wei thought he was hallucinating, and then he heard baby cries one after another, and the cries became louder and louder, as if they were close to his ear.

Rong Wei said with a face and wanted to defend a few words to hide the embarrassment on his face, "I really heard a child crying." ”

"Rongwei, you won't hallucinate, will you? I didn't hear anything. ”

"I've been so tired lately, let's sleep." After saying this, the cry in my ears also disappeared. But the woman was still unwilling to caress his chest, and Rong Wei was just about to react when the baby's cry sounded again.

"It's evil."

"I've been so tired lately."

After a few mutters, he stopped talking and turned back to sleep.

Since then, whenever Rong Wei touches a woman, he will hear the baby crying.

When Lu Jia first met Rong Wei, it was in Uncle Hu's restaurant on Gui Street, and Rong Wei was still a normal person at that time.

"Master Jiang, you are a famous master in this part of Panjiayuan, you have to help me."

"Let's get straight to the point."

"Master Jiang, this is a long story, my inheritance depends on your old age."

"No, I'm young. If you have something, don't say I'm leaving, I'm still busy. The tone emphasizes the "old man"

Jiang Hao's eyebrows were raised under his sunglasses, and the mustache on the top of his mouth was moving when he spoke.

"Master, master, I say." As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Jia, "Master, this little girl ....."

"Well, this is my apprentice, girl, go buy a pack of cigarettes for the master."

"Oh" Lu Jia lifted the curtain and got up to go out.

After a few minutes, after listening to Rong Wei's narration, he asked:

"Then you can hear 'that' when you have to? Or is there a time limit, like day or night? ”

"No matter the time, as long as 'that' will be heard."

"Where? Outside of your home? ”

"It's the same everywhere, as long as I 'that' I can hear it. But no one else could hear me, and I suspected that I had fallen into an evil spirit. ”

"It's okay to just hear it, man, what are you supposed to do?"

"That being said, ..... But..."

"Is there anything you haven't said? For example, a bad thing? ”

"No, absolutely not."

"If you don't have it, go back first, this talisman is close to you, and if someone introduces you, you will be discounted and charged 4,000. Remember not to get wet, and settle the bill. ”

"Four thousand? Is it so expensive? ”

"Expensive? Someone else's eight thousand, this is an acquaintance introduced to you with a five-fold discount, don't pull it down. ”

"Yes, yes, thank you, Master Jiang." Rong Wei thanked him and couldn't wait to put the talisman around his neck and tuck it into his collar.

When Rong Wei went out, Lu Jia came in from outside at this time, still holding a pack of cigarettes in his hand, Jiang Hao said while adding a piece of meat to the little apprentice, and at the same time put the money Rong Wei put on the table into his pocket.

"Master, what's wrong with that person, why do you want that person to pay?"

"That man? The forehead is flat and wide, and at first glance it is a profiteer, such as a horse or something is typical. If he doesn't buy it, who will buy it? The master's money should be kept for the girl to save the dowry. It won't be long before he comes back to me, and I see that his Yin Tang is black, and he has been haunted by an unjust ghost. ”

"Master, then why did you let him go?"

"Girl, the master is just a fortune teller, not a bodhisattva. Although the talisman can protect him for a while, it cannot protect him for a lifetime. You have to remember that there is a rule in our business: if the employer asks, we can answer; If the employer doesn't ask, we can't say; If the employer doesn't say it, we can't ask either. ”

"Girl, you will inherit the mantle of the master in the future, you must remember: remember that you must not meddle in our business."

Jiang Hao said as he tore open a cigarette in the box with his fingers.

"Polluting the environment." Lu Jia held down the cigarette case.

Rong Wei naturally didn't know what Jiang Hao's master and apprentice were talking about. Since hitting "no" several times in a row, I think the woman is clingy, and always seduces the * in his body, but it can't do anything, so he simply let the woman move out.

After coming back from Gui Street this night, he confided in the master, and Jiang Hao said "It's okay for the time being" I felt a lot more relaxed, and I quickly fell asleep while guarding the empty room and the empty bed alone.

When I fell asleep, I felt cold on the side of my pillow, as if a familiar hand was caressing my cheek, and my breath seemed to whisper. He arched his hand and buried his face in the arm.

At this moment, he felt something sticky and greasy coming from that cold arm and sticking to his face. He reached out and wiped it, and a fishy smell rushed into his nostrils. Even in his deep sleep, Rong Wei didn't feel very comfortable, he turned around and touched a meat ball, a slimy headball......

"That's not right!"

The wriggling ball of flesh woke Rong Wei half of his sleepiness, he fumbled and turned on the bedside lamp, and saw that there was a red patch on the wall, on the sheets, and everywhere, he was startled and then understood a little, it was the lamp, it was a dream just now.

Then the nerves tensed again:

"Lights? Red lights? There are no red lights installed in the house. ”

Rong Wei didn't dare to say this.

"Tick..."

In this silent midnight, the clear sound of water droplets falling directly hit Rong Wei's eardrums. He searched for the source of the sound, looked up in the light, and saw that the usual white bedside lamp was covered with a layer of red.

On the ceiling, there was a slender, white hand, and the red blood beads were rolling down the end of a thin red thread at the wrist, impartial, dripping right on the bedside lamp, and then sliding down the bedside lamp, and in the place where the red lamp was crossed, there were blood marks.

The blood beads on the wrist seemed to know that Rong Wei was watching this scene, and accelerated the blood flow, from the blood beads to a thin red line, and then the thin line turned into a thick line and flowed down, faster and faster, the blood line hit the red light, and the splashed blood splashed on Rong Wei's cheeks, which felt cold to the touch.

Rong Wei's frightened heart was about to jump out, preferring to be like someone holding his shoulder tightly behind his back, he lay there, he could only watch the blood left by that wrist more and more, slowly passing his bed, how could it not be finished, seeing that it was about to be submerged, he wanted to call for help, but was choked by an invisible hand, and he couldn't make a sound.

Rong Wei could clearly feel the cold blood covering his feet, arms, ears, and cheeks.....

"Are you going to die......"

Despair slowly enveloped Rong Wei's heart.

"Ahem...."

Just as the blood flooded his cheeks, he finally broke free from the suffocation, and when he opened his eyes, there was darkness everywhere in the black hole, the ceiling, and the location of the bedside lamp.

"Saved." He let out a long breath.

"It turned out to be a dream."

But Rong Wei hadn't calmed down from that dream, and touched the talisman on his chest before he was relieved. Thinking of the dream just now, he didn't dare to turn on the light, as if the lamp was entrenched in a poisonous snake that might attack him at any time.

"Now that you have the talisman, you shouldn't be able to hear the damn cry. I've been so tired lately to have such nightmares in this empty house. It's time for the woman to come back and relax. ”
