Chapter 14: Hanging Upside Down
"Shi Yuan!" Mi Xiaoxiao slammed open the door of Shi Yuan's room and shouted loudly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Are you hallucinating again?" Shi Yuan said.
"It's a dream. I just dreamed ......"
"A teacher lecturing in a dark classroom." Shi Yuan said first.
"That's right! After that, there were a lot of ghosts in that classroom, trying to hunt me down. ”
"It's definitely a hint for this mission." Shi Yuan said as he recorded the content of the dream just now.
"These hallucinations are too terrible, do you have to endure the torture of hallucinations until this mission is completed?" Mi Xiao's eyebrows tightened, and he said hatefully.
"Maybe."
"I thought it wouldn't be too late to look for clues when the mission started. But now, I wish this mission was over soon. I said, is there no other way to find that person in advance? As long as we know who it is in advance, we will send that person home as soon as the mission starts, and the mission will be completed. ”
"It's easy for you to say. Tell me, who is 'somebody'? ”
"I don't know, you're so smart, you must know."
Shi Yuan didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and turned his head to look at his backpack.
"What do you think the backpack is for? Is there anything in there? Mi Xiao was keenly aware of something.
"Nothing. If you don't have any new clues, go back first, I'll think quietly by myself, you're too noisy here. Shi Yuan said, pushing Mi Xiao outward.
"Oops...... Okay, I'll go. Mi Xiaoxiao said angrily.
After closing the door tightly, Shi Yuan immediately took out the locator from his backpack, luckily opened the task text message in his mobile phone and put it next to him, concentrated the currently known information in his brain, and silently observed the movement on the locator.
After waiting for a long time, the locator was motionless.
"Still no, it seems that you have to know the name and appearance, otherwise, you can't locate it at all." Shi Yuan muttered to himself.

The sun rises and a new day finally arrives.
For some, a new day is as precious as a new life.
Recalling what happened last night, Yuchun was still cold all over his body. Maybe it was because the night experience was so terrible, Yuchun didn't seem to have slept well all night, and now when he woke up, his head was still groggy and dizzy, and it seemed that the blood in his whole body was rushing to his head, and his cheeks were also swelling and aching. She rubbed the back of her head and narrowed her eyes.
How do you feel that something is wrong?
She got out of bed, no shoes, and stood barefoot on the wooden floor.
Looking around the room, an indescribably strange feeling filled my heart.
Beds, bedside tables, computer desks, wardrobes, dressers, chairs, windows...... All the furniture and furnishings are exactly the same as before, there is no difference, but Yuchun just feels that something is not normal.
The head and face swelled violently. She was suddenly startled, could it be that my face was swollen? There's going to be a concert tonight, so there's no problem at this time!
She threw herself in front of the dresser and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Ahh She screamed in horror.
Her face was swollen and reddened all over the place, and worst of all, somehow, her features seemed to be pulled upwards by some kind of force, and became a little distorted.
But, the weirdest thing is that her hair is standing on end, as if there is a force sucking it from above.
She straightened up in a panic and looked around the room again.
The furniture is still the same as before, with no signs of movement or change.
Finally, she realized what had changed in this room.
It's the height, and this room gets taller.
Her gaze looked up at the wall where the dresser was, where the ceiling should have been, or the wall. Her eyes continued to climb upward, and her eyes widened.
Finally, when her gaze was completely perpendicular to the ground, she saw.
She saw the ceiling.
And the one hanging upside down from the ceiling, a man.
The man was looking up at her, too.
"Ahh She let out a frightened scream, but the scream quickly stopped due to lack of breath. She didn't dare to look anymore and covered her face with her hands.
The man on the ceiling looked calm.
Such a scene, even if it is in a dream or hallucination, has never been seen.
The man on the ceiling looked exactly like her.
That's another her.
The other self.
"What are you shouting?" The man on the ceiling said coldly, "I'm the one who should be shouting, right?" ”
What the?
She looked up again in surprise.
"Don't you understand?" The man said, "This is my room, and you're the intruder, because ...... The one hanging upside down from the ceiling is you! ”
The last three words pierced Yuchun's heart like three sharp swords. She was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word.
Because what the man said was right.
She finally understood why she felt dizzy, why her face was swollen, why her facial features were distorted, and why her hair stood on end.
It turns out that she is the one who stands upside down, she is the "other self", she deprives herself of time that does not belong to her, so she always feels that time flies quickly, because one person's time is used by the two of them.
Why is this happening?
"Why is this happening? You still don't get it? The man said, "Sister, you are already dead, but you are holding on to my body, occupying my body, pretending that you are still alive." Sister, on a rainy night five years ago, you fell off a cliff and died on the spot, and you have been haunted ever since. You refuse to admit your own death, and you have been fighting with me for this body, which is why there is the illusion that time has flown by. ”
Yuchun shook his head like crazy and muttered, "No, it's not like this, it's impossible...... I'm not dead, I'm not dead! The one who died is you, it's you! ”
"Rain pure...... That's not your name. The man said again.
"Shut up! You shut up! Yuchun covered his ears with his hands and screamed hysterically.
She snapped her eyes open.
It's a dream.
She let out a long breath, got up and got out of bed, walked to the window, and pulled back the curtains.
The rain has long since stopped, and the ground in the neighborhood does not seem to be waterlogged.
Did those things really happen?
Yuchun's eyes flashed with those terrible images from last night, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Let's hurry up and go to the company, at least there are more people there." With that in mind, she glanced at the wall clock.
Seven and five a.m.
After washing, she looked again.
Seven thirty-seven.
Still is...... It's the same......
Yuchun felt a fluster, got dressed, and walked out of the house as quickly as possible.

Early in the morning, Gao Yingchun left school and came to the venue where the concert was held. She sneaked to the secret passage she had seen before, and when she saw that there was nothing unusual, she immediately smiled.
"Hehe, great, not found."
She tightened the straps of her crossbody bag, got into the bushes, and crawled into it on her stomach and feet.
It seems to be a storeroom, with a lot of cardboard boxes and dust on them, and it looks like no one has been here for a long time.
"Great place!" She whispered.
She opened the crossbody bag first, took out the bread and a carton of milk, and ate and drank it as breakfast. After eating, she crept around to check, and if she found the slightest trace of someone, she immediately fled. However, she quickly checked the route, and before the concert started in the evening, she promised that she could squeeze into the audience.
