At twelve o'clock in the night, the two women trapped in the elevator, one was half frightened to death, and the other was very sober sorting out many strange things recently. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The more tense and weird the moment, the more sober Du Lixuan's brain became, and in this completely dark environment, those strange things came to her mind recently, which made her begin to shake her godless thoughts, which she had always believed in since she was a child.
The first thing was also one night, because Shengshi Real Estate was in a huge crisis, so overtime was like a meal for her.
After working overtime that day, it was almost one o'clock in the morning when she returned home, the nanny Liu Ma had gone to bed early, and there was dinner prepared for her on the table in the dining room, but she didn't have a trace of appetite when she worked overtime, and when she returned to her bedroom, she was ready to take a beautiful bath, so she went to bed early, so that she could face tomorrow's challenges energetically.
Lying in the steaming bathtub, she felt too tired recently, because only she knew that the Shengshi Real Estate in her father's hands was not as beautiful as it appeared at all.
Thinking about it, she fell asleep in the bathtub like this, and had a dream, in which she went back to her childhood, and her mother took her to fly a kite on a green grass, and the kite was floating in the sky far away, and suddenly the line broke, and the kite began to fall from mid-air like a withered fallen leaf, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.
She woke up from this dream, and when she opened her eyes, she suddenly saw a figure standing outside the transparent glass door of the bathroom.
The figure just stood there motionless, and Du Lixuan couldn't help but ask: Is it Mama Liu? What are you doing standing there?
Du Lixuan felt a little strange in her heart, Mother Liu should have slept a long time ago, and she would not suddenly come to her bathroom, she panicked, she just
Getting up in this way, ignoring the alluring posture that made people reverie infinitely, stared at the black shadow, and walked quickly to the glass
Next to the door, I opened it, but there was nothing outside the door, and the entrance door outside was also closed at this time.
She couldn't help but press her temples hard, thinking that she must have been too tired lately, and that dark shadow just now must be her hallucination.
This fright made her no longer in the mood to take a bath, she wrapped a bath towel, prepared to put on a mask, and went to sleep, she was so tired lately that her white and flawless skin was a little dull.
But at the moment when she took off the mask and just opened her eyes, she was suddenly startled by a black figure in the mirror that seemed to be standing behind her, and after the fright, she looked carefully in the mirror but there was nothing.
These things made her heart even more unspeakably upset, and she couldn't sleep when she lay on the bed tossing and turning.
It was dawn, the sun was shining brightly on the earth, and the cheerful birds were chirping in the branches.
As soon as Du Lixuan came to the restaurant, Liu's mother, who had already prepared breakfast, looked at Miss Du, who came out of the bedroom, with a tired face and heavy dark circles, and couldn't help but ask with concern: Xiaoxuan, what's wrong with you? How does it look like you haven't slept all night?
Du Lixuan didn't know how to explain to Liu's mother, so she had to pick up the bread and say to Liu's mother with a smile: Last night, I had insomnia, I didn't sleep!
It's not okay to sleep well! People will be out of energy all day long, and when they arrive at the company, they must eat more nutritious things to make up for it!
Mother Liu said with concern again.
A few days later, she encountered something that frightened her very much.
For some reason, I always feel very tired in the last few days, not only because of the company's affairs, but also because of the feeling that I can't speak, I always feel a little weird.
That night, Du Lixuan finished taking a bath early and lay down on the bed, ready to sleep well.
At first she slept very soundly, and after some time, she began to dream again in a daze.
In the misty night of her dreams, she saw herself in a large area of ruins in the process of demolition, surrounded by ruins and broken walls, and a faint light from the house of a person whose house was intact.
She involuntarily walked to the front of the house, and through the iron window on the side of the door of the house, she could see that in the house, a middle-aged mother was accompanying a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, guiding her to do her homework, and the girl looked up at her mother's face from time to time with a mischievous smile.
The girl has a ponytail on her head, a beautiful green face, and a red scarf tied randomly around her neck to make her school uniform look even better
Not far away should be the girl's father, who smoked the cigarette in his hand and looked at the happy mother and daughter with some sorrow.
Suddenly, a fire began to burn on the ground, as if the ground had been poured with gasoline early, and the merciless roar of fire instantly burst into flames, igniting everything in the house.
The strange thing is that the family of three in the fire didn't seem to feel the flames at all, but they all raised their heads and showed a strange smile to Du Lixuan, who was looking in the window.
The next moment, the picture changed abruptly.
The flames ignited the clothes of the three people in the fire in an instant, and the mother took the child next to her into her arms, trying to resist the flames for her, but the fire burned so fast that the flames climbed up the girl's trouser legs, and the father on the other side also wanted to rush over.
But the indescribable scorching heat made him let out a heart-rending cry, and at the same time his hands desperately scratched at the burning places on his body, and after a while, he struggled and fell into the burning flames.
The mother's skin, which had been completely festered and bubbling with grease from the fire, pushed her child to the weaker window with all her might, but it was impossible for the girl to escape from the window with the steel security net.
In the fire, the girl's mother let out a vague and terrible cry: Come and save the child! Who will save my child!
As the call weakened, the whole person fell into the flames with extreme despair.
All this happened so fast, when Du Lixuan came to her senses outside, she could only see the girl with flames on her body, her hands holding the finger-thick steel bars on the anti-theft net, with hideous pain on her face, screaming: Help me! Help me!
Du Lixuan rushed forward desperately, she didn't care about the burning of the flames at all, she stretched out her hands to pull the girl out of the fire, but in addition to hearing the girl's heart-rending cry of pain, she could only hold the air with her outstretched hands with all her might.
She rushed to the front door again, only to find someone outside the door locked with an iron chain at some point.
She tried her best to break open the iron door, but the whole person was like crashing into a cotton ball, and she couldn't use her strength at all.
She returned to the window in despair and looked at the girl screaming in the fire, tears flowing uncontrollably down her face like a stream.
The girl let go of her hands holding the security net, and with extreme pain, she fell into the raging fire, never struggling again, not screaming.
The dream woke up again, and before Du Lixuan could wipe away the tears on her face, she saw that by the faint night light outside the window, at the other end of her bed, a black shadow like a human was sitting on her bed in a daze, as if she had been staring at herself for a long time.
Du Lixuan was faintly afraid, is this black shadow a human or a ghost?
She pressed the switch of the bedside lamp vigorously, and said in a panic: Who are you? How did I get to my room?
The strange thing is that after pressing the switch several times, the bedside lamp did not turn on, and in the dark night, the dark shadow that could not see clearly seemed to be staring at her.
A voice kept reminding her in Du Lixuan's mind, there are no ghosts in this world, have you forgotten that since you were a child, everyone has told you that ghosts are made up to be scary?
This thought made her not so flustered for a moment, but who would sit at the head of her bed in the middle of the night?
Is it for money? Or is it for the sake of color?
Don't say it, this Du Lixuan always has a pair of black-framed glasses on her delicate and flawless face on weekdays, and the white shirt on her upper body can better set off the pair of high and bulging peaks on her chest, and below is a high-end work dress matching the shirt, and she is wearing itchy black stockings on her round and smooth legs.
But her identity as the daughter of the boss of Shengshi Real Estate has discouraged many men, so now, Du Lixuan is 29 years old and still single, but there are also some personal reasons for her, which will be talked about one by one later.
Just when Du Lixuan was staring at the dark shadow on the other side of the bed and was in doubt, suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Mother Liu asked outside: Xiaoxuan! I just got up to go to the toilet and heard a sound in your room? Who are you talking to?
With a knock on the door, the bedside lamp in the room suddenly turned on.
Du Lixuan first looked carefully in the room, there was nothing at all, but just now she saw a dark shadow sitting on the other side of her bed?
As she got up to open the door for Liu's mother, she remembered that strange and cruel dream, everything in the dream was very clear in her mind, as if it had really happened in reality.
After opening the door, Du Lixuan still told Liu's mother in detail about the nightmare she had just now, as well as the black shadow that she would see at the bedside, and she always regarded Liu's mother as her own mother in her eyes, and never regarded her as a subordinate.
After listening to her story, Mother Liu also showed a scared look on her face, first carefully looked at her room, and then looked left and right, as if she was afraid that there was something hidden in the room, and whispered in Du Lixuan's ear: Xiaoxuan, you shouldn't get into trouble with anything unclean, right?
Mother Liu, do you say there are really ghosts in this world? Du Lixuan asked suspiciously.
After hearing this, Mother Liu did not answer this question as if she was avoiding something, but persuaded her: Xiaoxuan, rest early, I know that you are usually very busy at work, so let's do it, Mother Liu will sleep with you here at night.
For some reason, with Liu's mother by her side, Du Lixuan quickly fell asleep, and slept very sweetly.
Mother Liu, who was beside her, kept her head buried in the quilt, panting slightly, and didn't fall asleep until dawn.
The next morning, the sunny day, which had been fine recently, suddenly changed its face, and the thick dark clouds kept changing in the sky and drifting into the distance.
When Du Lixuan woke up, Liu's mother had already made breakfast, and she seemed to have forgotten what happened last night, looking at the fragrant breakfast on the table, her appetite was greatly moved.
Mama Liu, who was watching her chew on the side regardless of her image, had a worried look on her face.
After a while, Mother Liu asked: Xiaoxuan, do you remember when you asked me last night if there were any ghosts in this world? I didn't answer at the time because I was afraid that saying this in the middle of the night would scare you.
Last night? Du Lixuan looked confused, I asked you this question last night?
But how can I not remember clearly in my mind now? Could it be that my memory has become so bad?
Mother Liu looked at her in a daze, and then said: You also know, Mother Liu, I came from the countryside, I have heard a lot of strange stories since I was a child, and our hometown has always had a saying about ghosts and monsters, "believers have, if you don't believe in it, you don't have it", I see that you have been resting badly recently, why don't you go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha.
Du Lixuan seemed to have just remembered what happened last night, but the godless thoughts ingrained in her mind kept laughing at her.
She stopped the food in her hand, looked at Mama Liu, who was worried about her, and said warmly in her heart: Mama Liu! Thank you for caring so much about me. But from childhood to adulthood, whether at school or at home, don't they all say that ghosts are made up by others to be scary? Last night's incident, I think I was too tired lately, and I had hallucinations! Doesn't everyone else say, aren't you afraid of ghosts knocking on your door if you don't do bad things? I haven't done anything bad, so I shouldn't be afraid!
But she didn't expect something unexpected to happen again that night.
Standing in the elevator completely shrouded in darkness at this time, she thought back to many unusual things, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is there really a ghost in this world?" I have never done anything unreasonable since I was a child!
