Chapter 67: Farewell
The five of us went to the Aoba office together. This time, I was more calm, so I knocked politely on the door and said hello before opening the door with the key. Except for the thin man, everyone else has different looks, but even the most lively Guo Yujie is very quiet, and she didn't complain about my actions, I don't know if she is still immersed in sadness and panic, or affected by the strange atmosphere of the Aoba office.
The door creaked open, and the office was still dim.
We looked at each other in the back of the room, not knowing what to do.
The fat man cleared his throat, "Brother Qi, what did you do before?" ”
"Oh, just like their client." I scratched my head in embarrassment.
If it were just me, it wouldn't be a big deal to talk to the air like that, but with so many people watching, this move would be too middle-class. In order to find out the truth of the matter, I had no choice but to sit on the butt print on the sofa, take a deep breath, and begin to tell the story of Uncle Wang's death.
There was a dead silence in the office, and all four seemed to hold their breath. The thin man only rolled his eyes and looked around warily. The three fat men were not so frightened, and they looked left and right quite normally. After waiting for a while, nothing special happened in the office.
"Go look at that door." Chen Xiaoqiu proposed.
"What door?" The fat man asked.
Chen Xiaoqiu had already walked inside, "It's the painting at the end of the corridor, which suddenly became a door." ”
I hurriedly followed, and my heart was in my throat.
Both the thin man and the fat man shuddered, "Turned into a door?" ”
Chen Xiaoqiu nodded affirmatively.
At the end of the hallway, there was a painting hanging there.
Chen Xiaoqiu stepped forward and groped carefully, but did not find any mechanism.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Painting is in a normal state, and the door is in a supernatural state. I wanted to go over and open that door, but not in the presence of so many people. The thing behind that door is probably even more terrifying than the ghost of Aunt Wang.
"What are you going to do now?" Guo Yujie asked.
"Why don't you ask the pen fairy to try?" The thin man came up with an idea, "To communicate with ghosts is to use a pen fairy." ”
I've had this idea before.
"Which of you has a pen and paper?" Guo Yujie asked again.
Five people, you look at me, I look at you. In recent years, pen and paper have become a professional tool, and who still carries these with ordinary people?
"Is it okay to write by hand on my phone?" The fat man took out his large-screen mobile phone and pulled out a stylus from the bottom of the phone screen.
This sense of the times is really delicate.
We didn't have any other tools, so we gathered around an empty desk in the office, holding the stylus with all five hands and tapping it on the screen of our phones.
"Aoba, if you're here, please give us a hint." I did the hosting.
"Please pen fairy should be a circle, a fork." The skinny man corrected me.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Aoba, if you are here, please draw a circle." I corrected it in a good way.
The first time, there was no response, and I said it twice.
"If there is no circle, does it mean that they are not there? Or is it that the ghosts here are not from Aoba? "Fat man reasoning.
I followed this line of thought and asked, "Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, are you a member of Aoba?" ”
The stylus is still stuck on the phone screen, motionless.
"I think there might be something wrong with the method."
"Mobile phones don't work at all, you have to use traditional paper and pen, right?"
Thin man and Guo Yujie expressed their opinions.
"Times are advancing, and so are ghosts. In ancient times, did the pen fairy use a pen and A4 paper? "The fat man is reasonable, and he tells the truth.
Chen Xiaoqiu directly let go and stopped messing around with us.
I also let go of my hand, "Why don't you go out and I'll stay alone and come back again?" ”
"When I burned the kimono, I was with the man surnamed Ma, and you were too...... That's it. The thin man said.
I guess what he's going to say is "ghost body".
We were wondering what to do when we heard a knock on the door.
There was a knock on the door in the silent supernatural office, "knock, knock, knock", no more, no less, no hurry, just like that three times.
My hairs stood on end, and the thin man, the fat man, and Guo Yujie who spoke closed their mouths.
Five of us stared at each other.
Knock, knock, knock.
Three more times, as if knocking on the heart!
"It's the doorway." Chen Xiaoqiu was the first to react.
We exhaled heavily. Someone knocks on the door, and it's a living person.
"There are still people here." The thin man sighed easily.
I went to open the door, and the others followed curiously.
I opened the door, and it was already dark outside, and the sun had completely set, leaving only a little afterglow.
I saw the two people standing outside the door, and suddenly my back was cold, and the questions that came to my mouth were stuck in my throat. Behind me, the thin man's exaggerated inhalation and Guo Yujie's soft exhalation sounded.
"Hehe, I said that I saw a few of them enter the building just now, and they must have come here." Uncle Wang turned his head and said with a smile to Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang bent her eyes slightly at Uncle Wang and didn't say anything.
My scalp was numb and I couldn't react at all.
"Uncle Wang? Aunt Wang? Guo Yujie choked up and shouted.
Uncle Wang's gaze crossed me, and he said, "Little girl, don't cry, I've waited for my wife, it's time to go." ”
These words dispelled the fear in my heart, and a faint sadness rose.
Aunt Wang's appearance at the moment is completely different from what I have seen before. She looked serene, standing behind Uncle Wang, and the anger and hatred had disappeared.
"Work hard and be careful." Uncle Wang carefully advised us, as if the elders were teaching the younger generations, "Don't be in a hurry about the demolition, do a good job of mobilization, and persuade everyone to proceed again." ...... here," Uncle Wang suddenly sighed.
"Don't be afraid, if you have something, come here and ask the young people of Aoba for help. They are all good people. Aunt Wang suddenly spoke. Her voice was also different from what I had heard in my dreams.
Aunt Wang's words confirmed my conjecture.
"They're all dead?" The fat man asked, stunned.
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang nodded sadly.
"Don't rush to demolish. Don't rush to demolish until it is resolved. This is where we refuge and where we are imprisoned. We can't tear it down until we leave. Uncle Wang repeated this several times.
I opened my mouth and could only smile wryly.
Demolition or relocation is not up to a few of our petty civil servants. We will do mass work in advance, and this is still a buffer period that the old leaders have fought for, which is already a lot more time than other demolition and relocation plans.
Aunt Wang pulled Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang finally said meaningfully: "This is not a good place, you should be careful and listen to those young people." ”
After speaking, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang turned around and went downstairs, and when they reached the middle of the stairs, the figures of the two slowly disappeared, and the sky outside completely turned into night.
"When Uncle Wang says this, is he referring to this office, or is he referring to this area of the workers' and peasants' community?" Chen Xiaoqiu asked a frightening question.
"He said before that 'our shelter' and 'the place where we are imprisoned', this 'we' is probably not only him and the ghosts of the firm, but also Aunt Wang, and ...... We haven't met a ghost yet. I analyzed.
It's creepy to think about.
"Hey, according to that, there are actually dead people and ghosts everywhere." The thin man said tremblingly.
"Let's do this today." I patted the skinny man on the back.
When we left the office, I was still the one who closed the door, and when I closed the door, I glanced at the filing cabinet, but this time I didn't see anything, and the door was closed by me myself, so there was nothing unusual.
