After a long time, the door finally appeared in front of me. But the once warm and familiar home, the home where mother and daughter once depended on each other, has now become a terrifying condemnation and execution ground.

Even if no one blamed her, no one knew all this, she still couldn't control herself from thinking about it.

Dou Xinwei stood at the door of the house, but she didn't have the courage to step into the threshold, she couldn't face the short nightmare. She wanted to search for her lost family in the depths of the night, but she knew it was almost impossible.

The mobile phone vibrated again, but it was the sister who had packed up her clothes who opened the door and was surprised to find Dou Xinwei standing at the door, her eyes slightly red and she didn't have time to hide it.

Dou Mengyao hugged her sister tightly, looked at the money and rope in her hand, and hurriedly comforted: "Did you wrestle, why did you come back so late, Da Hei?" ”

"Da Hei, Da Hei ran away, I didn't hold ......" The fear and worry in his heart made Dou Xin lie without even thinking about it. But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt that cheating on her sister would not lead to good results, but she didn't have the courage to bear all this.

"It's okay, you go home for dinner first, and my sister will go out to find it."

"But it's almost 11 o'clock, or I'll go with my sister to ......" Dou Xinwei was doing a very fierce ideological struggle, she was thinking more than once: If the facts are told directly, will it affect my sister's study for the exam?

If it's their own fault, will my sister and mother forgive me? If I had known that things would turn out like this, would it be better to stay outside until dawn than to trust the prompts on my phone?

Dou Mengyao squatted down and hugged Dou Xinwei to comfort: "Obedient, my sister is already an adult, you are still young, can you stay at home obediently?" My sister will be back soon. ”

Dou Xinwei wanted to say something, but he could only watch his sister disappear into the night.

Autumn is coming, and the crickets are calling. When the door is closed, the town at night is no better than the center of the bustling business circle, and the insects that suddenly stop in the silence occasionally reveal a bit of silence and weirdness.

A single-family house is no longer than a high-rise building, and the distance between people sometimes seems farther away.

The meal was already warmed up, but Dou Xinwei had no appetite and barely took two bites.

I was flustered, restless, and fidgeting with my phone over and over again, but I couldn't find the previous picture. It's like a searchable WiFi signal in a specific area, and once you walk past that site, the traces disappear completely.

The night was silent, but the sound of the wall clock in the house was getting louder and louder.

The monotonous rhythm of click, click, click, every time hit the depths of Dou Xinwei's eardrum, so that she could never deceive herself into sleeping.

In Dou Xinwei's mind, the truck and the stone came up again and again.

Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and sat up from the bed. But the night is already dark, and a junior high school student encounters this kind of thing, and her parents are not around, what can she do?

"Why hasn't my sister come back yet?" Dou Xinwei subconsciously looked at the wall clock, she obviously felt that a long time had passed, but the wall clock showed that it was less than half an hour.

"Why don't you take a shower first?"

Take out clean clothes and put them in a water storage bucket and put them in the bathroom. The warm and bright bath bomb lights will give people a sense of security, and the water is not yet hot, but there is a knock on the door.

"Did you find the Big Black?" Dou Xinwei was slightly stunned, she completely remembered every detail at that moment. If you are hit like that, even if you can survive, you may have to go to the pet hospital and spend a lot of money, and even if you are cured, you may not be able to live for a few more years.

Da Hei is old, the life span of a dog is much shorter than that of a person, if you don't care about the cost to treat it, the family's savings will be very tight, and it will cost a lot of money for your mother to get sick. What will I do with my sister in the future?

Da Hei will always get old, and when people get old, they will disappear quietly like their grandparents.

It's a big deal to go to someone else's house for 20 yuan and buy a little black dog, anyway, the dogs are not serious, and the people in the town are not willing to spend money on birth control, and the result is a bunch of raw ......

"What the hell am I thinking?" Dou Xinwei was afraid of her changes, and she walked with her day and night, giving her safety and protection, but she didn't expect to be given up by her so soon.

"Call my sister and tell her everything! Let her stop looking for it, it's impossible to find it, Da Hei is dead! ”

"No... I can't say, how will she blame me if I say it? Will my mother and sister not allow me to come home in a fit of anger because they are sad? Maybe we will one day accept reality......"

Dou Xinwei felt that her head was hurting more and more, and several different thoughts were competing for her decision, making her feel more and more that she was not wrong.

Holding down his chest and touching a hard object, Dou Xin only remembered the moment when he and Da Hei were in distress, and the talisman in his arms seemed to suddenly become very hot.

At that time, the rope happened to break, otherwise he would have flown to the truck with Daikoku.

Taking out the talisman, Dou Xinwei's eyes were hazy. All she knew was that this smooth little stone carved with the face of a beast had been taken to a temple by her mother and sister when she was a child, and the town had not been renovated.

The town's elementary school teachers say times are changing really fast. If the government is willing to mobilize funds and manpower to vigorously develop the town, many old gadgets will be banned.

It's like a numb car that I rode in when I was a child, but now it's hard to find it.

Having been worn on the body for many years, the surface of the small stone has become smoother and warmer, and it does not look like an item that can be easily bought online or near school.

When I took it out, the small stone on the beast face was already full of cracks, and when I held it in the palm of my hand and pressed it in my arms, Fang Cai's violent ideological struggle suddenly weakened a lot, and even she couldn't say why.

The knock on the door sounded again, you really should go to bed early at this time, and the slightest movement will break the composure that Dou Xinwei finally recovered in his heart.

"Who's at the door? Don't speak, don't open the door. Dou Xinwei approached the door, heard that the other party did not speak, and immediately locked the door.

I vaguely remember when I was a child, there were some strange stories circulating in Taiping Town: before dark, you must go home as soon as possible. If someone hides from you, don't answer any questions asked.

I remember that when I was a child, there were several strange things when my classmates got lost, and adults got drunk, but they were found in the mountains the next day. I once heard the old man who sold candy skewers on the side of the road say that it was because this kind of thing often happened, so the village once found the location of people and built a temple.

Since then, there seems to be less of a weirdness.

But in recent years, with the popularization of education and the development of towns, when villages have become towns, tiled houses have also become single-family buildings. The land temples in many villages have been demolished, and many old things slowly fade out of sight until they can no longer remember.

Is fading out really the same as disappearing?

Does hiding it mean that it does not exist?

The knock on the door rang again, and Dou Xinwei suddenly became afraid. She opened the cat's eye and peeked cautiously, only to see a dark woman with a disheveled hair standing at the door, and she couldn't even see her face clearly.

The light outside the door went out for some reason. Dou Xinwei only found that the woman's head moved, and her heart began to beat wildly, and in a panic, she tripped over her slippers and sat on the ground, but saw a long steel bar, which directly penetrated the cat's eye.

The steel bars were covered in sticky, filthy black blood, and coagulated with the hair and fragments of unknown animals.

Call the police, be sure to call the police immediately! There's a madman at the door!

Dou Xinwei kept retreating, took out the phone and was dialing, the steel bar at the door slowly fell to the ground, and a bloodshot eyeball appeared at the cat's eye, which scared Dou Xinwei and couldn't help screaming.

"Is it a police uncle?" Dou Xinwei heard a large murmur of electricity coming from his mobile phone, and hung up the phone in a panic.

She ran deeper into the room, and the horrible strange woman reappeared at the window.

Dou Xinwei crawled on the ground, approached the windowsill, and closed the curtains, but there was no one on the curtains.

Suspiciously opening the curtain, Dou Xinwei and the woman's faces were separated by a layer of glass less than 1 centimeter.

The scream sounded, and the beast-faced small stone once again emitted residual warmth, but the dark woman suddenly revealed her facial features at this time. Like a woman covered in a mask of sea mud, she rinses clean with a handful of water.

She was obviously stunned for a few seconds, and when Dou Xinwei was about to collapse in fright, she disappeared.

Everything was silent again, and even the uncle's dog next door did not bark.

Dou Xinwei began to regret it, she was worried that her sister would really encounter an accident if she went out to find Da Hei so late.

What made Dou Xinwei even more strange was that the beast-faced small stone in his arms was no longer warm, but exuded a biting chill. It felt like a lump of ice stuck to the body, and all the warmth that had been saved up would be sucked away, and even the skin was frozen unconscious.

Dou Xinwei hid it and shrunk in the quilt tremblingly, tired to the point of coma and frightened to wake up.

Time passed in a daze, and Dou Xinwei didn't remember whether she fell asleep or not.

Until dawn, my sister did not come home.

Luckily, the phone can be dialed.

The local police station said that it did not report the disappearance for less than 24 hours, and in a daze, Dou Xinwei could only dial the police number in other places.

Lao Li's phone rang, and then Dr. Zhu, who had only been in contact with Dou Xin, knew about it.

Xu Yunge, who was about to go to see Professor Tang with Zhao Wenlan and ask about the "details of the case", as a person who had contact with Dou Xinwei yesterday, unfortunately also learned all this.

"You guys check first, I still have something to do here." Xu Yunge did not reveal his whereabouts, but was only surprised by the little girl's words.

As for the strange things that happened to her, there was also a stone throwing to ask for directions that led to the death of Daikoku (missing?). The details are almost identical to the routine of horror urban legends. It's just more fraudulent, although it successfully lifted her from the lost state of being suspected of hitting the wall, but she almost took away two lives.

Did the person who kidnapped Wang Baozhi do it? Lao Li said that the face shooting, restoration, extraction and comparison are already narrowing the scope of suspicious objects, and it can be narrowed down to 10 people by noon today at the latest.

Xu Yunge deliberately mentioned that the strange man may not be a local, the traffickers and kidnapping gangs are secretive, and there may be flaws in the riding records of subways, buses, bullet trains, etc. (after all, the flaws in the itinerary are the most obvious when they are teleported), but it is not good to say that the other party has other preparations.

"First it was her dog who saved Wang Baozhi, then it was her dog who ruined the masked man's plan, and then it was her dog who saved her. If I were a demon trying to do something to her, I would have wanted to kill this dog who had been destroying her again and again. The enemy may not be weak, but it will not be very strong, otherwise if you encounter a black dog that can protect the master, you will not miss so many times in a row! ”

"I don't know if it's my delusion, the horror urban legend is like a living thing, even if the other party didn't ask for the curse in the first place, it seems that more and more innocent people will be involved."

"Wang Baozhi and Professor Tang, was it really okay at the beginning? The former was almost tossed to the point of insanity, and the latter had a curse on him, and this matter was definitely not that simple. ”

Looking at the direction of the classroom staff building, Xu Yunge sat in Zhao Wenlan's car and put on his mask again.
