Chapter 1 Lu Ming
Late autumn, cold night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the carnival, the streets looked deserted, and a few plastic bags that had been thrown by people wandered aimlessly on the road. Next to a convenience store on the street, a well-proportioned man in a black jacket is slowly smoking a cigarette.
Under the smoke, his fingers appeared straight and slender, and his face had the masculinity of a man in his prime, but his eyes revealed a sense of vicissitudes that did not match his age. He stood there muttering to himself from time to time, and looked up at the stars from time to time.
"It's supposed to be Christmas.,I don't know how Apple is.,I should have gone to elementary school.。。。。
"Manman, are you alright? Are you still resentful of me? ”
"Is it really going to go on like this endlessly? Can't you go back? ”
The man in black is called Lu Ming, 29 years old this year, like hundreds of millions of ordinary young people on the earth, he has an ordinary and happy home, and his parents have handled his life, study, work and even marriage since he was a child, and he is so obedient and lives a step-by-step life.
Of course, for marriage, it is not that he doesn't love the woman named Qiu Xiaoman, but he fell in love at first sight and quickly fell in love. It's just that their acquaintance was at a blind date under the pressure of their parents, and naturally there was a taste of feudal society. Life after marriage is not shocking, Lu Ming is busy in a large state-owned enterprise every day, and after returning at night, he plays games, reads novels, accompanies his wife, and lives a life of two points and one line of otaku. It wasn't until the birth of his daughter "Apple" that it seemed to bring a color to his life, but soon it was like a stone sinking into the sea, drowning in ordinary days.
Until one day, because of a trivial matter, he had an argument with his wife, and then as if the sleeping irritable blood in his body erupted, he lost his mind and threw things frantically at home, without paying any attention to his daughter who was trembling with fear and his wife who was crying bitterly with his daughter in his arms. After doing these things in a daze, he ran downstairs at a loss, leaning against a locust tree in the green garden of the community, with his head bowed and his fingers tightly clasped in his hair.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, and he had always felt that he had had enough of such ordinary, boring, and trivial days at any time. The company's related customers suppressed him, the pressure of housing loans, the comparison of friends and classmates around him, and even the bullshit sponsorship fees that children have to pay when they go to kindergarten. These things were like a catalyst that made him lose his mind a little, and made him suddenly feel that his character for the past 20 years, his life has been suppressed in such an ordinary and boring and helpless life, and he is anxious to find an outlet for catharsis, to get out of this life.
"Hee-hee-hee, what's wrong with you? Tired of this life and want to get out of here? Do you really want to? Well? Hee-hee-hee-hee," a shrill voice came from behind.
"Who?" Lu Ming was so frightened by the sudden voice that he suddenly stood up, and hurriedly turned around and shouted.
But except for the locust tree, there was no one behind him, and looking around, he even found that there was no one in the usually lively community, and even the square dance aunts who must come every day were nowhere to be seen. He suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him had become a little weird, and the original anger and remorse dissipated instantly, only to feel a gloomy cool air surging around his body, so he asked with a trembling voice: "Who... Who's where? ”
"Hehehehe, didn't you see me? You were leaning on me just now, but now you don't know me? Hee-hee-hee" The shrill voice came again.
Lu Ming's face turned white in an instant, because he was horrified to find that this sound actually came from the locust tree in front of him! Suddenly, he remembered that when he was a child, he had heard the old people say that the word "huai" is dismantled and the word "ghost" is added next to the word "wood", which is one of the few species in the plant kingdom that can be psychic. If a child sleeps under the locust tree at night, he will be absorbed by the locust tree to absorb the "cool spirit" (the second soul of the three souls, in charge of people's intelligence, reaction and judgment), and become stupid and stupid.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming swallowed his saliva and shouted boldly, "Who is it?" Don't pretend to be a ghost here, come out, come out quickly! I see you. I have to say that Lu Ming is still a little clever at this time, if he was an ordinary prankster, he might have been deceived by his words, but what happened next was obviously beyond his expectations.
"Hehehehe, okay, since you've found out, then I'll come out, don't be afraid, hehehehe" As the voice dissipated, a woman in red clothes with a bewitching appearance emerged from the trunk of the locust tree with a burst of mist, and slowly floated in front of Lu Ming, looking at him with a smile. Lu Ming was so frightened by this sudden change that he sat down on the ground, he felt that all the hairs on his body had stood up, and the blood in his heart instantly condensed to his throat and eyes, and at this time he couldn't even say a word.
"Hee-hee-hee, what's wrong? Didn't you just say you saw me? The shrill voice seemed to come from the woman's celestial spirit cover.
"Hee-hee-hee, look into my eyes, I'm asking you, answer me, hee-hee-hee" The voice came again.
There was a test in psychology that some people would go blank in the face of extreme fear, some would become trembling and trembling, and some would become extremely angry and try to use anger to restrain fear. Lu Ming obviously belonged to the latter at this moment, and after the girl said these words, he suddenly got up, stared at the girl and yelled: "Get out, don't pretend to be a ghost, get out, I'm not afraid of you, you get out." Watch out for me killing you! ”
"Hehehehe, I didn't say you were afraid of me, didn't you confess yourself. You humans are so funny, you are already scared like this, and you dare to talk to me like this. No, you were yelling at me, were you? Is that so?! As soon as the words fell, the woman's facial features distorted and squeezed together, and her mouth suddenly opened as huge as an adult's face, revealing black fangs inside, accompanied by a fishy smell, and a roar came from the depths of her throat.
Lu Ming was completely stunned this time, the courage he had just mustered up because of anger disappeared in an instant, he didn't expect that the woman in front of him would suddenly change like this, and what was even more desperate was that he had already firmly believed that this woman was a ghost! It's still a ghost under the locust tree! He's dead!
"Hee-hee-hee, why are you dumb again? Weren't you fierce just now? Aren't you humans supposed to be polite? You haven't answered my question yet, why don't you answer it? Hee-hee-hee-hee," the woman instantly returned to her original form and continued to ask.
"What? What's the problem? I really don't know, I don't know you either, I don't know, I really don't know! Lu Ming said in a panic.
"Hee-hee-hee, forgot so quickly? I asked you if you wanted to get out of this life? Do you really want to? Would you like to? Answer me quickly. This time the woman looked a little impatient.
"You, how do you know, know that I'm tired of living like this." Lu Ming saw that the woman didn't make the next move, and couldn't help but be a little bolder. It's not that he didn't think of running, but he was so frightened that he sat on the ground at the first time, his legs were weak, let alone running, and it was difficult to stand up. And the woman doesn't seem to walk on her legs but floats around like a ghost, and whether he can outrun or not is one thing. So, after calming down a little, he decided to follow the woman's questioning.
"Hehehe, you don't have to worry about this, I just asked if you would like to, I can give you a chance to get you out of such an ordinary and boring life, would you like to go to our world, hehehehe" The woman in red asked.
"What are you going to do? I won't go with you, I don't want to be a ghost, I don't want to. Lu Ming was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Hee-hee-hee, fool, I really admire your imagination, do you think I'm a ghost and want to take you to the underworld? Haha, that's ridiculous. Don't worry, I won't kill you, and I'm not a ghost, I'm just a guide, the guide of the 'strange world', I just ask you if you are willing to leave the ordinary life now, go to the 'strange world', where you will find the novelty, exciting feeling, you will find the true meaning and value of life, are you willing? The woman in red suddenly floated into Lu Ming's ear and whispered to temptation.
"I... I... I still have a wife and children, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really don't want to go, can you let me go". Lu Ming pleaded, his intuition told him that there must be something wrong with the "strange world" that this woman said, and he must not agree.
"Hee-hee-hee, really? Is that really what you're thinking? Don't you want to see what you're really capable of? Are you really willing to live an ordinary life all the time and wait for death? Why suppress yourself, why not give yourself a chance? You're going to get something that you haven't been able to get in the last few decades, and you don't want to check it out? At this moment, the woman seemed to be incarnated as a gold medal lecturer of a pyramid marketing organization.
"No, no, I really think life is good now, you let me go, I beg you."
"Hehehe, since you don't want to, it's a pity, I just have to eat you and wait for the next person, hehehehe" The woman smiled weirdly.
"No, no, don't... No, I do, I do. The threat to his life made Lu Ming hurriedly change his mind and shouted.
"Hehehehe, so afraid of death? You're so cute, I'll tell you the truth, if you don't want to leave this world, you won't see me. But if you don't say yes, you won't be able to leave this world, and I, as the usher, can't eat you at all. Then, dear fool, enjoy the pleasure that the world of treachery brings you! After saying that, the woman quickly opened her mouth again and instantly engulfed Lu Ming.
Before Lu Ming could react, his eyes went dark, and his last thought before he fell unconscious was - this woman swallowed me directly with her mouth, and she won't "pull" me into their world again, this is also disgusting...
