When I opened my eyes again and woke up, my first feeling was a splitting headache, as if the world was spinning and my brain was going to burst on the spot. Then I felt cold again, as if someone had poured a basin of water over my head in winter, and then I realized that it was because my clothes were soaked in cold sweat when I was unconscious.

No wonder I'm cold.

After a while, when my head didn't hurt as much as I had just now, and I felt a little more comfortable, I was in the mood to look at the room I was in, I didn't get up and turn on the light, but the moonlight shone through the window, it wasn't bright, but at least I could see things clearly.

The room is not big, except for the bed where I am lying, there are some containers, cardboard boxes, sacks and other items next to it, and even a few small cardboard boxes are placed on the bed.

At first glance, you can see that this is a room dedicated to placing miscellaneous items.

Why am I in a utility room?

I thought about it for a long time, and finally I thought that this matter had something to do with the second brother, it should be that after I vomited blood and fell into a coma, he brought me home, because the relationship between me and the eldest brother and the second brother was not harmonious, and they disliked my profession, so there was almost no contact on weekdays, and I never went to their house.

So, this utility room, I'm here for the first time.

Thinking of this, I lay down in peace and thought back to what had happened before I vomited blood and fell unconscious.

I have been following the master for nearly 20 years, and I have never seen the master vomit blood and fall into a coma on the spot like me after painting the portrait, what is the reason for this?

Also, every time before painting a posthumous portrait, in order to avoid being too involved in the process and accidentally forgetting the time, I will set an alarm on my mobile phone in advance, I obviously remember that I have set the alarm clock and confirmed it again and again before painting the portrait of Boss Huang and his wife, but why did the alarm clock not ring in the end?

Could it be that there is something wrong with the phone?

I immediately took out my phone to check, and after I checked it many times, there was no fault in the phone, so why didn't the alarm go off in the end?

After thinking about it, in the end, I thought of the three taboos that my master often told me in my ear.

I broke the taboo and I was punished as I deserved, and I didn't know what the consequences of breaking the taboo would be, but now I know it.

But is that really all the consequences of breaking a taboo?

To be honest, I don't know.

Maybe all the consequences.

Maybe it's just getting started.

Because Master only said that you must not violate the three taboos, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, Master did not tell me in detail what would happen if you violated the taboos.

For a moment, I fell into deep thought.

Just as I was deep in thought, I felt as if someone was lying gently beside me, I swear, I was absolutely not in a state of confusion, at this moment, I was very conscious, although I opened my eyes and woke up with a splitting headache, and there was a dull pain in my chest, but this did not affect my consciousness.

The next second, I quickly looked to the other side of the bed.

Empty!

I'm the only one in this utility room.

"Whew!"

Seeing clearly that there was no one on the other side of the bed, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then secretly laughed at myself for being too sensitive.

In fact, I can't be completely blamed for this, mainly because I've been doing this for a long time, and I've seen more dead people, and sometimes I can't help but wonder, in this world, do ghosts exist?

I asked the master this question, but unfortunately the master did not give me a clear answer.

Or to be more precise, the master did not reply at all, because at that time the master only smiled lightly.

I have a strong desire to learn, just because of the master's gentle smile, and then I secretly went to the cemetery in the middle of the night to stay, just to confirm whether there are ghosts in this world, but unfortunately, I spent the night in fear and didn't see anything.

Until now, although I have not seen a ghost with my own eyes, the slight smile of the master is enough to explain something.

Perhaps, in this world, there are really ghosts.

It's just that I haven't seen it yet.

I don't know why, but the more I think about it, the more I feel that there seems to be an eerie aura slowly emanating from the other side of the bed.

I shuddered.

It may be that the clothes on the body are soaked with cold sweat.

I gave myself an excuse and immediately sat up and undressed, and when I was done, because the sheets and mattress were soaked with sweat, I had to take a cardboard box and tear it on the mat, and then sleep on top of it.

Sleeping on the soft cardboard box, I felt much more comfortable, not as cold as just now, so it didn't take long for me to feel sleepy, slowly, I closed my eyes and began to sleep, but just when I closed my eyes, suddenly, a cool breeze blew across my face.

The first time a cool breeze blew, I didn't particularly care, because there was a shutter on it, and it was not unusual for the occasional cool breeze to blow in.

But the next second a cool breeze blew, and, for a third time... Fourthly... For the fifth time...

Gradually, I sensed that something was wrong, as the cool breeze that blew across my face less and less like it was blowing in from outside the blinds, but more like... Someone came up to my face and deliberately blew on my face.

Is there anyone else in this utility room besides me?

No, absolutely not, because I didn't hear anyone open the door and come in, in other words, it was impossible for the second brother to come in and tease me on purpose, besides, my relationship with the second brother was already doomed that the second brother would not sneak in and trick me.

So...

Who's blowing at me?

Suddenly, I opened my eyes instantly, I wanted to see who was blowing at me, but unfortunately, after opening my eyes, I didn't see anything but the ceiling, and subconsciously, I looked to the other side of the bed.

It's still empty.

In addition, there is another strange thing, when I opened my eyes, the cool breeze that kept blowing on my face when I closed my eyes just now was gone.

At this moment, even if I have a lot of courage and often come into contact with dead people, I can't help but feel a burst of hair in my heart.

This is the first time I've encountered such a strange thing.

Where does the cool breeze come from?

After a few minutes, I decided to turn on the light and go to bed, but when I went to turn it on, I realized that the light was broken.

Is the light in this utility room long broken, or...

The more I try to calm down, the more messy things come into my mind.

After a long time, I took a deep breath, then pretended to calm myself down and looked at the other side of the bed, and although there was nothing, I had a very strange feeling.

I felt, right now, as if a pair of eyes I couldn't see were staring at me.

It... They're staring at me.

In reality, there is only one wall in my eyes.

"You're staring at me, aren't you?" I looked at a wall and said something like this, and when I finished speaking, I was startled by myself, and if others saw this scene, they would think I was crazy.

No one responded in the utility room!

"That's right, who else is there in this room but me?" I muttered something to myself.

Never mind!

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided that no matter so much, I dare to stay alone in the cemetery for one night, what else do I have to be afraid of?

With a decision in mind, I lay down and closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

After a while, all the strange sensations I had had had had felt were gone, as if they had never been there, and I fell asleep soon after I was sleepy.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn, in fact, I didn't wake up by myself, but was woken up by the angry voice of my second sister-in-law.

"Chen Bin, what did you promise me? You said that you would never let your unlucky, short-lived brother into our house in this life, and now? You actually brought him back to sleep in our house? Are you trying to me off? ”

Hearing the second sister-in-law questioning the second brother so angrily, and what she said, if I said that I didn't mind at all, it would be a lie.

In fact, if I had a choice, I would never study this particular 'art'.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a choice.

But now I'm slowly getting used to it, after all, I've been in this industry since I was a child, and I don't know anything except painting portraits of the dead.

"Daughter-in-law, you speak quietly, be careful of being heard by my brother."

"Why should I be quiet? This is my home, I scream when I am happy, I shout when I am happy, what happened to him when he heard? ”

"Yes, yes, don't be angry, let me explain to you."

"Explain the fart, I send the child to school, and if I come back and see him at our house, I'll immediately take you to feed the dog."

After that, there was no movement outside, and a few minutes later, I heard a 'bang' of the door closing, apparently the angry second sister-in-law had sent the child to school.

The second brother is afraid of the second sister-in-law, our family knows this, as for why they are afraid, the fundamental reason is that there is no money, although the second brother is not considered to be rich, but this house is indeed the second sister-in-law's family, as the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, I sympathize with the second brother.

In order not to embarrass the second brother, I deliberately stayed for about ten minutes before getting ready to get up, but the second brother suddenly opened the door and broke in, looking at the second brother's panicked look, I asked him strangely: "Second brother, what's wrong?" ”

"I don't know how to tell you for a while, in short, the boss's family had a big incident last night, don't sleep, you get up and come with me."
