Chapter Twenty-Four: Shen Basket
"What? Suit? Did you see that too? ”
"Sister, it's hanging by the door, why can't I see it, there is a bowl of steamed buns in front of the door, and I also ate one."
"What? Did you eat it? ”
"yes, what's wrong, sister?"
The bell stared at the second wolf's cheek in horror, and there were still a few blood-stained black hairs hanging from the lower lip of his nose, and the two copper teeth that were slightly exposed between his lips were stained with red threads.
"Oh, nothing, let's go!" The bell pretended to be blind, turned his head sideways and walked through the corridor, jumped over the two wolves and went straight to room 003, and when he stopped, he found that the dead cat in the blanket was gone.
The new suit still hung on the lock handle of the door, but it was ridiculously small, the collar was not as thick as the wrist, and the sleeves were as thin as a rolling pin, like a custom-made garment for a dead man.
When the bell took off the garment, a purple orchid fell from the sleeve of the suit, which had turned yellow and had already withered when it fell to the floor.
And the suit looks very new, but it feels a little wet and heavy. The bell could still smell urine in his nose, and the smell that emanated from the collar of the shirt seemed to be smeared with a layer of cat urine.
The second wolf who followed immediately explained: "There was a dead cat lying on the blanket just now, and I smelled it so bad, so I wrapped it in this suit and was about to throw it away." ”
The bell tore open the buttons of the suit and saw that there was a dead cat covered in blood inside, staring at the scattered black hairy eyes inside.
Once this smell pierces the nose, you will feel dizzy, dizzy, and in severe cases, you will hallucinate, see something you shouldn't see, and you will have nausea and vomiting that you can't stop. The courage will also become very small, and they will feel scared of anything.
At this second, the bell was so confused that he couldn't stand on his feet, and leaned against the door with sweat. The second wolf stepped forward and put the hammer next to the door, snatched the suit in her hand, threw the dead cat inside into the trash can in front of the door, turned around and helped her again, and said, "It doesn't matter, sister, let's go out first, it's completely pointless to stay in this place." ”
The bell shook his head against the wall in a daze, and after pushing the two wolves away, he vomited blood on the ground again, and after coughing twice with his hand over his mouth, Wei stepped forward and opened the lid of the trash can.
He took out the dead cat and the suit and threw it on the ground.
"Why bother, just for that kid? Or for yourself, always worrying about other people's business! ”
The bell didn't pay attention to the second wolf at all, and after picking up the dirty suit on the ground, he took it to his eyes and touched the pocket inside with his hand, as if he was looking for something.
From the inside of the suit, she felt a photo in her hand, and when she took it out, she found that it was the black and white photo she had touched on He Wei's body before, and she didn't know who put the photo back in the pocket of the suit, and the bell stared at the family photo without squinting.
The emotions on the faces of the four people in the photo seem to have changed a little, in the same photo I saw in the toilet of the private room before, the bearded young man still had a slight smile on his face, but this time he saw a look of horizontal eyebrows and angry eyes, gritting his teeth and being constant in the photo, as if he was a living person.
The woman in the photo and the two children next to her are also a sad face, not only the expression has changed, but the whole photo is also missing a stump, and some back patterns are missing.
The bell looked at it for a while before he realized that the black cat had disappeared in the photo.
But these are not the point, the point is that the little boy in the photo, I didn't look at him carefully before, I just thought it was a little cute. But this time, when I looked closely, he looked very similar to the boy in the red riding hood I met in the kitchen before, as if it was the same person.
Bell looked back at the second wolf who was in a daze, held the mutilated black and white photo in front of the second wolf, pointed to the little boy above and asked, "Do you know him?" The boy I met before, is it the one in the portrait? ”
The second wolf took the photo, stared at it with bated breath and observed it carefully, and said, "I don't have any impression, I just saw the back of the red hat boy, huh?" However, this kid Zhang De is somewhat similar to Master He. ”
"Ho, my lord? Are you talking about He Wei? Bell asked.
"yes, it's quite like!" The second wolf bit his lip heavily, raised his head and asked, "By the way, sister, where did you get this portrait, the painting is quite realistic, I'm afraid Tang Bohu can't draw such a brush in his life." ”
The second wolf squinted and smiled and pointed to the photo with his hand, and said: "You see, this ink color, this water trace, the force is even, just right, it is really too realistic, as I expected, this painting has to be sold for at least 200,000 taels of gold." ”
The bell gave him a blank look, picked up the suit that fell to the ground and put it on his shoulder, threw the dead cat on the blanket back into the trash can, turned around and took away the photo of the second wolf walking, and said: "You quickly wipe the blood on your mouth, it's ugly and dead, by the way, wait for me here for a while, I'll go in and change this black coat, the skirt is soaked." ”
With that, the bell walked into room 003 and slammed the door. At the same time, the second wolf also wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his palm, and a few black hairs on his lips were stained on the back of his hand.
The bell who came to the room, after taking off the blood-stained skirt on his body, went to the bathroom to take a hot shower, and changed into this black suit.
However, there was a sign hanging on the chest of this suit, and the bell had not been noticed until it was put on, and it was not until I put it on that I subconsciously found that it was a pale yellow work card.
There are three small characters and three big characters written on the work card, the small character is "waiter" and the big character is "Shen Basket". The bell hand took off the badge, and after seeing these words, he didn't feel anything at first, but just threw it on the table.
Bell came to the mirror cabinet and straightened his clothes and combed his hair with his face in front of the mirror. At this moment, the lights were dark, and all sides were swallowed up by darkness, and not even a single piece of paper or hair could be seen in the darkness.
The whole round mirror reflected the red light, and the reflection in the mirror made her feel even uglier than herself, and when she looked closely, it felt that she was not the same as herself.
The black pimples on his face, and the messy black hair stained with a lot of dirt, almost covered half of his face.
The light inside the mirror is even redder than the outside, like a burning flame, and the light illuminates the entire mirror.
The bell was so frightened that she hurriedly threw the comb to the table, and the person in the mirror made the same action as her, but the emotion of that frowning and smiling was completely two faces, one black and one white, one crying and laughing, one curling and one eyebrow, and two different worlds had been formed inside and out.
The bell wanted to muster up the courage to smash the mirror directly with her fist, but she found that she couldn't lift the guts. The strange aura of the drum in the room softened the bones of her body.
But the woman in the mirror was still holding a comb and combing her hair, the movement was very fast, pressing against the scalp and pulling down her face, just like scraping the fur of a pig with a toothed knife, and there were red marks on both sides of her cheeks.
In a few moments, the whole red mirror emitted a "Bang! With a crisp sound, the entire round piece of glass cracked through the crack into a pattern of spider webs. The pale face of the female ghost inside was scattered into small pieces of white scum.
The bell sitting in front of the mirror kicked open the cabinet in a panic, and before he could put on his shoes, he got up and rushed to the door of the room.
Running to the door, the wrists of his pants were dirty with his heels, and the palms of his hands were full of sweat when he twisted the handle with one hand, and the door lock was wet with twisting back and forth. For a while, I found that I couldn't exert my strength, and the cracks in the door seemed to be stained with glue, not to mention the wind inside and outside, and even the light couldn't shine in.
I don't know when it began, but the whole room reverberated with the sound of sad crying, as if it was the voice from under the red sofa before.
And it was the crying of a middle-aged woman, the voice was a little intermittent, and the nose and mouth seemed to be blocked by something, and the sound of panting slowly.
Bell slowly turned his face with sweat dripping from his forehead, looking at the darkness in front of him, and there was a faint smell of sour urine in the diffuse smell.
A thumb-sized flame lit on the curtain facing him, and a faint purple light glittered on the balcony. After moving the time, three or four meters away, the bell heard a very miserable sound in his ear, and the sound was as low as dew falling on a rock.
Shen ...... Sink...... Sink...... Blue...... Child!!! ”
The flame fluttering under the curtain was spinning like a feather, but when viewed with the naked eye, it was like a moth seeking light. And it will make a "buzzing" sound, which will make the eardrums of the bell almost burst.
The light grew brighter and brighter, shining on everything around it, and as it flew over, the aperture enlarged from near to far, and reflected under the wine table.
At first glance, it looks like a red-hot paper lantern, which can illuminate the three circles around it, especially the red sofa next to the table, which is completely presented in the room in a dim light.
The bell standing in front of the door sped up his breathing, and his face turned to the sofa and twisted the deadbolt vigorously, eager to get out of the crack in the door like an ant.
The purple "paper lantern" moved all the way from the top of the table to the cushion of the red sofa, and it was pitch black all around, except for the whole sofa that was exceptionally illuminated, and the footsteps supporting the four sides were vividly visible.
The red high heels from before happened to be placed between the sofa and the two sides of the table, and the sound of "Shen Basket ......" echoed in the room, and the red high heels slowly began to move, as if a pair of transparent hands were pushing it, moving towards the bottom of the sofa.
Three or five seconds later, until the red heels completely disappeared from the bell's field of vision, the severed doll fell from the ceiling where the heels disappeared.
The doll's mouth was covered with blood, and her face seemed to have emotions, staring at two rigid black eyes and laughing miserably, and there were two black worms drilling holes in her neck, all the way into the doll's throat, and the baby's mouth made a sound: "Mom! Mom! Come out, don't hide, stop playing hide and seek, where are you! Don't leave me behind, it's so dark here, what's wrong with my eyes, it's all glue. ”
It was the voice of a little girl, crying around under the couch, and although no one answered her, the miserable sound continued, except for the bell breathing violently motionless in front of the door.
"Huh? Who's that? Is it my sister? Let's play hide and seek together, I'll catch you when I count to thirty, don't let me catch you! ”
Bell stared at the doll on the ground almost stupidly, until the little girl's voice began to count, and the bell cried out, "Ah! ”
When he turned around, he slammed his body against the door, and every time he hit the door, there would be a violent impact sound, but the door was as hard as a stone, and no matter how hard he hit, he couldn't open it, and he felt that his arm was about to dislocate, but he couldn't open it.
"Hahaha...... Thirty, twenty-nine!! ”
The bell covered his ears with his hands, shook his head violently, and kicked towards the door one by one, his shoes were almost kicked and holes, and his toes were covered with blood, but the door was solid and not a single crack was kicked open.
At this moment, the string of purple flames in the room flew to the ceiling and shone on the back of the bell, swaying like a chandelier with a broken thread.
"Three, two, one...... I'm coming to get you, I'm coming to get you! ”
The bell slammed the door again, and suddenly felt a desolation in her back, as if a corpse was lying stiffly on her back. The neck is cold, and it feels like it is soaked in a layer of ice.
I also slowly felt a trace of weak and cold breathing in my ears, and the bell was no longer kicking the door at this time, but just standing in front of the door without moving, and put his hands vertically on his waist, as if the blood in his body had stopped flowing.
At this moment, the flame on the ceiling fell directly to the ground, and a purple flame quickly spread in the air, burning the blankets on the ground red.
During this period, the room was still echoing with the strange laughter of the little girl, laughing three times in a row and then stopping, pinching her throat and laughing, laughing very unnaturally.
The bell stood in front of the door, his face stiff and erect on the stone slab, his eyes fixed on the door, and he did not turn his eyes for a moment, as if he were dead.
Until the sound of the girl's footsteps came from behind her, pausing with each step, slowly approaching her back, and the desolation from head to toe became more and more obvious.
When the footsteps moved to a certain distance, the sound of a lighter lighting a cigarette came from behind the bell ear, and after three clicks, the sound of a roll of paper burning in the air sounded.
And the footsteps became heavier and heavier, not at all like the steps of a girl, not so light, and the foot on the blanket cracked the glass windows on the balcony.
The back is also from cold to hot, like a man-bear standing on the back, and the stone wall by the door reflects the dark shadow of a big man.
The bell slowly shifted his gaze to the stone wall by the door, looking at the black circle reflected in the white smoke, and was so startled that a drop of cold sweat slipped from his chin to his collar, and asked in a stiff voice, "Who are you?" ”
The fierce man behind him, who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost, didn't reply, and the bell, who had completely lost his skills, stiffened his head and asked, "Who?" ”
Suddenly, a rough palm pinched the bell's neck straight from behind, and the force was so fierce that the thick layer of nails almost strangled the bell's neck.
"Ahem, ahem!" Bell wrinkled and coughed a few times, and slowly turned his head behind him, feeling a fiery sting in the back of his head and the smell of kebabs.
Holding back the pain, the bell continued to turn her head completely, facing her with a large bearded face and half a cigarette in her mouth, and quickly took several quick puffs.
"Let go of me, what are you doing?"
The big man bit off the cigarette butt with his teeth, and the cigarette core fell on the blanket, and he chewed the cigarette several times and swallowed it into his stomach.
With one hand, he threw the bell hanging in the air into the corner of the wall, and with the other hand, he held a red-hot tongs with a piece of black charcoal on it, and stabbed it directly into the bell's chest.
The red coals stabbed the bell in the belly, "Ah! With a scream, a black mark was fished out of the skin, and a hole was broken in the suit.
After that, the big man threw the tongs in his hand to the ground, walked up and kicked her twice, squatted down, picked up the burning cigarette wick from the blanket and rubbed it between her forehead.
The bell was about to burst in his throat, and he looked at the big man in a daze, and in the light of the blanket firelight, he showed a black face full of beard, and a white apron hung from his waist, and there was a pocket on the apron, and three skewers of grilled meat were inserted in the pocket.
His whole body smelled of stinking, as if he had just come out of the sewers, and the black yellow marks were all over the apron.
Bell looked at him blankly and whispered, "Who are you?" How did it end up here? ”
But the big man didn't pay any attention to him, turned to the table and picked up a wine bottle, and continued to smash it on her head, the bell was about to dodge, but it was too late, the speed was amazing, the mouth of the bottle hit the forehead, the skin was broken, and the blood flowed all over the bell's face.
It wasn't too late, the big man's eyes seemed to be full of anger, and he paid no attention to any sounds around him, turned around and ran to the table again, picked up seven or eight wine bottles, and held them in his arms.
Before and after coming to the bell, put down all the bottles on the ground, leaving one in his hand, and prepared to smash it at the bell's forehead.
At this time, the bell's limbs were weak, his waist could not stand up, his whole body was in pain except for pain, and his consciousness was blurred.
But the eyes had been closed for three or five seconds, and the bottle was not smashed for a long time, and a few seconds later, the little girl's voice came from the bell ear: "Dad, I hate you!" ”
The voice was high-pitched and harsh. Bell subconsciously opened his eyes and watched what was happening in front of him.
It was empty, only the purple flame on the blanket was still burning.
When I looked back, I saw that in a certain corner, there were two black shadows, one was a big man with a big head, and his head was bleeding and fell to the ground on his side. The other was a little girl in a blue dress, who pressed the big man's head to the ground with two small bloody hands, and bit his ear with her small teeth.
When the bell saw this, he didn't know how to make it and had some spare strength, so he sat up and leaned against the wall, carefully observing the two black shadows struggling back and forth in the corner.
At this time, the door in the room was pried open by a huge force outside, and a young man with a hammer rushed in, it was the second wolf.
After the second wolf came in, he looked left and right, and found that the bell was in the corner of the wall by the door, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Sister, let's go, there is no time." ”
"Come and help me!" The bell leaned against the corner of the wall with a bloody face, and stretched out a hand to call.
The second wolf threw down the hammer, rushed to the corner of the wall in two or three steps, lifted the bell with both hands, hunched it on his back, and rushed out towards the gate without turning his head.
The bell, whose bones were already completely soft, leaned on the back of the second wolf, and couldn't help but look back at the two black shadows in the corner of the wall, and found that they were still reflecting on the wall tearing and struggling, one big and one small, and the noise was continuous.
Just as he was about to run out of the door, the bell patted the second wolf's head and turned back and pointed, "Wait, look, what is that?" ”
The second wolf followed and looked back, and found that there were indeed two black shadows in the corner, but they couldn't see clearly. In a hurry, the second wolf couldn't care so much, and after running out of the door, he pulled the door hard, closed it, and rushed out of the porch.
While running, he said, "There's no time, let's get out quickly, this bar is about to burn up." ”
"What? Burning up? What do you mean? Can you make it clear? ”
The second wolf stepped on the glass shards in the corridor of the bar, and replied breathlessly: "Someone just set a fire outside the bar, and I don't know who did it, let's go out and have a look." ”
When the second wolf rushed out of the corridor with the bell on his back, the glass door outside was full of red fire, and there were burning curtains on all sides, and the whole hall was entangled in flames.
The bell stared at the back of the second wolf with both feet, stretched his neck and swept his eyes around, and exclaimed, "Who did this?" How is it such a big fire. ”
"Ouch, you're glaring at me, I don't know who did it, anyway, it's too late if you don't come out now."
The second wolf sped up his progress and rushed straight out of the glass door of the bar, his forehead already covered with sweat.
At this moment, a red-hot piece of wood smashed from the ceiling of the hall directly in front of the glass door, sealing the door completely.
The second wolf suddenly stopped his pace, looked down at the log, swallowed his saliva, and turned around and said, "Sister, let's go through the back door, I know where to get an exit." ”
After saying that, the second wolf bent down and rushed out towards the entrance of the corridor with the bell on his back, and every step he ran had to sweat a few drops on the blanket.
The bell put his face in front of the second wolf's ear and said, "Wait a minute, let me come down first!" ”
