"It is fear itself that we fear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"Fear is a human instinct, people are afraid of the unknown, afraid of the unknown, and at the same time full of curiosity about the unknown. But if the frightening unknown befalls you, will you still stare at it with a pair of curious eyes?

Six years ago today, on a sunny afternoon, I wandered aimlessly down the street. I don't know why, I often exercise on weekdays, and I feel extra tired today, "I didn't do anything, but why can't I always lift my energy?" I thought to myself. Suddenly, I felt that my eyes were drawn to the contents of a store, and I couldn't help but look at a thrift store down the street. It was a very inconspicuous thrift store, the windows and signs were covered with cobwebs and thick dust, and the handwriting on the signs was already a little blurred, and only a faint word "Yu" could be seen.

Curious, I stepped forward and pushed open the door that seemed to have not been opened in a century. It was empty, the room was a little dark, and the ceiling was a little low. I stepped into the room, and the low ceiling nearly hit my head. "Is anyone there?" I asked tentatively. Seeing that no one answered, he asked again, still empty, as if he was in another world, the room was unusually quiet, and the noise of traffic on the road outside the house had completely disappeared. Just as I was muttering in my heart, a chill in my back went from the soles of my feet to my backbone, and I subconsciously shivered.

Just as I slowly turned around, a hand was placed on my shoulder, and I shrank back and hurried to the door. When I came back to my senses, I saw a scrawny old man standing in front of me, his eye sockets so sunken that I couldn't see his eyes clearly. His hair was pale and his face was wrinkled. In addition, the lighting is dim, which is a bit scary.

I knew that I was rude, so I quickly settled down and said, "Are you the boss here?" The old man replied in a deep voice, "Yes, I'm sorry, the young man scared you just now, do you want to inquire about things, or do you want to buy something?" I looked around at the shelves and said, "I want to find something, I don't know ......," and before I could finish speaking, I felt like I was attracted to my gaze again. I quickly looked around and searched, hoping to find something in the pile of old bottles and cans, even I didn't know what I was looking for.

At this moment, my eyes stopped on a small box, which was a very old box, and I quickly pointed to the box and asked the boss, "Uncle, can I pick up this box and take a look?" The uncle pondered for a while and nodded, I couldn't see his expression and I didn't know if he didn't want me to touch the box. After nodding, the old man pulled an old chair from the side, sat on the side, and smoked.

Seeing that my boss had agreed, I stepped forward and picked up the box and blew off the dust. I wiped it in my arms, and now I was sure that it was this box that caught my eye outside the store. After blowing off the dust, a closer look reveals that the box was made of a very strange wood, small but heavy, and bright red as if it had been infected with blood. On one side of the box there was a small black lock, which seemed to be quite strong when I pulled it, and the top and the front and back sides were carved with delicate patterns, and the grooves of the patterns seemed to be filled with a material similar to cinnabar, and shimmered red in the light. "If you don't use the key, you won't be able to see what's inside," I thought to myself, and at the same time opened my mouth and asked, "Boss, is the key to this box still there?" The old man didn't see it, so he said, "It's been a long time, and the key doesn't know where to go for a long time." "Do you know what's in it?" I pressed on. "Ghost ......" Uncle snorted softly, and then coughed twice. I was shocked and thought, "Did I hear it wrong, or did I say..."At this time, the old man slowly raised his head, and at this moment I saw clearly that his left eye had no eyeball, only a red and sunken eye socket. I was taken aback and took two steps back, only to tripped over a copper kettle behind me and fell to the ground. The old man was so surprised to see me, and sneered and said, "You are not the first. So saying, he stood up and walked over to me, and stretched out his hand to pull me up from the ground. The moment I touched the old man's hand, a piercing coldness penetrated my heart. Although the old man's hands were bony but had considerable strength, I pulled me up without any force. After standing still, he was surprised and hurriedly apologized to the uncle, asking him if he had broken anything and needed compensation. The uncle smiled and said: "These are bad things, it's okay, it's okay, young man, are you injured?" I hurriedly waved my hand to show that it was okay, patted the dust on my body again, and hurriedly picked up the box that fell to the ground. Surprised, driven by curiosity, I asked the old man about how he got his left eye to look like it is.

Unexpectedly, the old man did not hide it, he sat back on the chair and straightened up, lit a cigarette and said slowly: "Don't look at me now, you may not be able to believe that I am only 39 years old now" I was shocked, and my face could not hide the look of surprise, the old man... Oh, no, it's more appropriate to call it Big Brother now. Undenied by my surprise, he continued: "At that time, I was very young and extremely curious about strange things. As long as it is related to these things, I will pay attention. It wasn't until my parents died that I became even more obsessed with ghosts, to the point of madness, and I wanted to see them again by all means. So I asked around about the self-proclaimed master who could be psychic. But it backfired, and most of the people I found were some people who deceived the world and stole their reputations. I was looking for several years, and by chance I met a master surnamed Yin, from his mouth, I learned that mortals who want to see ghosts unless they have something called Void since birth, if ordinary people want to see ghosts, they can only rely on the power of the outside world Void and temporarily introduce it into their own body. But there are good and bad vainness, you can see what kind of vanity I have introduced when you look at me now..."After the boss finished speaking, he lowered his head gloomily and smoked again, looking a little sad.

I was noncommittal, even though I was an atheist, I couldn't help but believe what I was looking at. After a long pause, I asked, "Did you see your family for the last time?" The boss shook his head and sighed and said: "I know that you are half-believing now, and it is also because no one has spoken to me for a long time, and you are the person I said was born with a void, so I told you these things without taboo, you can't see the ghost now just because the void eye is not opened, my left eye is the price paid to leave a void eye so I can see the void in your body, and the weakness of the body is also because of the erosion of the void to become what it is now, thanks to the fact that I expelled it as soon as possible." If not, I would have been overcovered by loess. I didn't know how to answer for a while, and suddenly remembered something and opened my mouth to ask, "Then will I also be eroded by the vanity you said and finally become you..." I hope you find out the secret. ”

Hearing the boss say this, I actually felt a little relieved, seeing that the boss generously wanted to give me this box, I hurriedly said: "Although we have a fate, but you still have to do business to live, I bought this box, we should also make friends, in the future, I will often come to you to listen to your story, let's come and go, my name is Shen Xu, dare to ask your surname" "My name is Yang Wei, you can call me Lao Yang." ”

I forced Lao Yang to give 1,000 yuan, thanked him, left the store with the box, and returned to the noisy street, and had no intention of wandering around again, just wanting to go home and take a good look at the box. I walked to the side of the street and raised my hand to hail a taxi: "Master, Fenghui Community" and "Okay" taxi driver replied.

There was nothing to say all the way, and I was always thinking back to the weird and bizarre words that Lao Yang said just now, to say that it was too absurd to believe it, to say that it was not believed, Lao Yang's appearance made people have to believe it, and I was thinking about it in a blink of an eye, and the car stopped in the community where I lived, I paid the car and thanked the driver and turned around and walked into the gate of the community. This is not too high-end single apartment, the environment is not bad, but the rent is a little more expensive, the landlord said that he is ready to rent to two people, and now I live alone to charge the rent of the two of me, hey, who makes me like this, fortunately, I used to partner with friends to do some business and some savings, even if I rent a person is not too luxurious for me.

When I got home, I looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, I ordered a takeout and sat on the balcony and began to look at the wooden box, in the reflection of the sunset, the box looked more red and bright, suddenly I found that something was shining in the keyhole, I got closer to see that it was a crystal clear small stone stuck in the keyhole, "No wonder Lao Yang can't open it with a key, or he doesn't need to use a key?" I was looking at it carefully, and suddenly a doorbell pulled me back from my thoughts, I quickly put the box on the table next to me and ran to the door to check the access control, it turned out to be a food delivery. I opened the door with the access control, and saw the takeaway brother panting and running up from the stairwell, I quickly took the takeaway in his hand and gave him the money, he complained to me while looking for money: "I don't know what's wrong with sending several of this community today, the elevators are broken, I'm tired to death" I thought: "This community has only closed for a long time, how can the elevator collective be broken, is it a renovation?" Obviously I was still good when I came up just now" I was muttering in my heart, the takeaway brother handed over the good change, I took the money, thanked him and closed the door, just about to take the takeaway to the balcony to enjoy the sunset while eating, just the moment I turned my head, I saw that the keyhole of the box was bubbling out one by one with red blood......
