Chapter 9: Suspicion
I woke up from a sweet dream, the piercing sound of the phone bell seemed to urge me to slowly gather the fragments of my thoughts scattered in the sea, and after opening my eyes, I stared at the ceiling for a long time before I gradually came back to my senses, and my memory gradually came back to the memory of what happened last night.
Sitting up in a hurry, I subconsciously touched my neck.
There is nothing unusual, there is no pain, looking around, it is still a familiar bedroom at home, so I have another nightmare?
When I was confused, the phone rang again, I took the phone from the bedside table, saw that it was Xiao Ai's phone, and answered it in surprise, "Hey, Xiao Ai?" ”
"Sister Yun, are you okay?" On the other side of the phone, Xiao Ai's voice was full of concern, but I asked suspiciously, "Will there be anything wrong with me?" ”
"Wasn't the company haunted the night before yesterday? Last night there was a power outage for no reason, it is said that the electric brake wire fuses are normal, but I don't know why there will be a power outage, the company has no choice, so I had to invite a Taoist priest to come and see, I heard that it was to drive away the evil spirit, but I also heard someone screaming, but I couldn't find anyone. Later, they all said that you were the last to stay in the company, but the surveillance video at the door did not show when you left, and the call to you in the morning was never answered, but it didn't scare us to death. ”
What Xiao Ai said was amazing, but I was even more confused, wasn't it a nightmare last night, I really encountered a ghost?
But I clearly remember that someone hit Ma Ziqing's ghost hard, and then picked me up, could it be that he sent me home? But if he sent me back, why didn't the company's surveillance footage record of us leaving? There is no other exit from the company, unless he climbs over the railing to get out, but the railing at the gate is more than three meters high, how can a normal person carry me over it?
The mystery of a person filled my mind, and I couldn't even remember that the phone call was not broken.
"Sister Yun, are you okay? Don't scare me. ”
Xiao Ai's anxious voice pulled back my thoughts, and I hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I left at 11 o'clock last night, and the surveillance video is broken." By the way, did you say that the company invited a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits last night? Did the Taoist priest see any evil things? ”
"It's okay if you're okay," Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I don't know, even if there is really an evil thing, the company will definitely hide the truth, otherwise which employee would dare to work in the company, let alone work overtime in the future." ”
I couldn't tell the truth when I asked, so I could only hang up the phone after a perfunctory sentence.
Looking at the white wall in front of me, I fell into deep thought.
If what happened recently is indeed very evil, but what kind of mold did I touch to get shot one after another? Or maybe I just had a dream last night, when I really came home at 11 o'clock, and the rest was full of nightmares? But why do I have no memory of any of these things, and I still remember the scenes in my dreams?
I thought about it carefully, although the person who rescued me from Ma Ziqing's hands last night couldn't see his face clearly, but he was definitely a man, because he was very tall, when he picked me up, he only reached his chest, but he was cold, like an ice brick, and he didn't look like a normal human being.
And the faint sandalwood fragrance emanating from his body, it can't be any kind of smell in men's perfumes, will there be normal men spraying sandalwood perfume on his body? The answer is obviously impossible, unless he has been in the place where sandalwood is burned for a long time, this will be contaminated with such a special smell, could it be that he is a Taoist priest hired by that company to eliminate demons and subdue demons? So after saving me, he refused to leave his name and quietly sent me home?
As to how he knew where my home was, and how he sent me in, I could comfort myself with his very human logic, at least for that reason that made me more acceptable, or more believable.
When I returned to the company, I found that my colleagues were quietly sitting in their seats, unlike some time ago when they got together to chat, and most of the topics they chatted about were related to Ma Ziqing or haunted things.
But just because they stopped talking doesn't mean they're no longer curious, and when I walked through the hallway, almost everyone was looking at me in the dark, not because I had a high rate of turning heads, but because they all believed that I had disappeared mysteriously last night, and I wonder if it had something to do with the haunting.
Ignoring all kinds of speculative and inquiring eyes, I received a call from Qiuzi, the president's secretary, not long after I sat down, her voice was sweet and gentle, and it was very comfortable to listen to, "Is it Yunya?" You're at work, that's just right, Mr. Chu said that he was looking for you for something, so why don't you take the time to come up now. ”
I feel inexplicable, after all, the distance between me and Chu Junxi is not ordinarily far, he summoned me at this time, what is the matter?
When I walked into the elevator, I suddenly thought of another problem, the last time I met him overtime, it was also when the lights flickered, which was very weird, but after he appeared, everything tended to be calm, and there seemed to be nothing wrong. But the point is, he is obviously working on the 22nd floor, and I am working on the 16th floor, how did he appear on the 16th floor in the middle of the night?
With these doubts, I walked into Chu Junxi's office, where he was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with his hands in his hands, his figure straight and upright, meticulous.
"Mr. Chu," I had to step forward to greet him, and when he heard the voice, he immediately turned around and asked me to sit down with a smile.
Of course, I had to wait until he sat back at his desk before he could sit down, and I looked at each other, and I was a little puzzled, and he was very calm, and the corners of his lips were slightly pulled, and he mainly asked me, "What do you want to drink?" Coffee or tea? ”
"No need." I shook my head and adjusted my slightly stiff sitting position.
He seemed to sense my nervousness, leaning back slightly, and his slightly leisurely posture did ease the oppression in my heart, and the atmosphere was a little lighter.
"I heard that you worked overtime to the last one last night, right?" He began to ask questions, and my heart jumped, and sure enough, because of this, although I didn't know how to answer him, I nodded sincerely in acknowledgment.
"And what strange things have happened to you?"
I hesitated for a moment and shook my head decisively, "No, I left last night after working overtime until 11:45, I don't know why there is no record of my entry and exit on the surveillance video at the gate, I think there should be a problem with the surveillance, but I really didn't encounter anything." ”
The reason why I chose to hide it is because I didn't figure out what happened last night. Second, I don't want to make myself the focus of the company because of these nonsense, I don't know if it's a person or a ghost, it will affect my normal work, and it won't have any good results for my internship results.
Seeing that I answered calmly and without pretentiousness, Chu Junxi nodded, although his eyes flickered a little, he still believed it after all.
