That night I was in a state of panic. I tossed and turned as gently as I could on the bed, for fear of waking up Guo Li next to me. But in the end, I realized that she wasn't asleep either.

"What? Haven't slept yet? I asked.

"Yes, I can't sleep." She snorted softly, "I, I'm so scared. ”

"Afraid of what?"

"I don't know."

I snorted, and had nothing to say. Because I'm scared, too, and I don't know what to be afraid of. Finally I reached out and put my arms around her. "Don't be afraid, I'm here." She was obediently tired in my arms, but her hands and feet were cold. Finally, she said, "You are the one I am afraid of." ”

Surprisingly, nothing more happened that night, and not the next day. Everything seems to have calmed down, and it seems like another uneventful week. The next day, I accompanied Liu Lei to change the tire, and on the way we discussed what happened the night before. In the end, we both agreed that it was a wild cat on the mountain. We were more glad that it happened late at night and there were no other vehicles and pedestrians on the road.

Mom and Dad, you will surely realize that things are not so simple. The facts that happened later also proved this, Liu Lei and I were just deceiving ourselves. In fact, we're all avoiding a question when we're talking about it. That is, why did the right front tire that should have exploded not burst, but the left front tire that the cat sat on above it blew? It's not that I haven't thought about this question, it's just that I can't explain it, or the answer is too terrible to accept. I think the same is true for Liu Lei.

If it had happened to someone who had nothing to do with me, I might have blurted out the answer: that cat is the embodiment of the devil!

The week was not completely peaceful. There was something going on between me and Guo Li. Guo Li began to be hot and cold towards me, which made me unpredictable. Even the occasional smiley face seems to compensate for the coldness of most of the time. The two get along alone, and there is a feeling of being on the spot. There seems to be something wrong between Zhang Yuan and Liu Lei.

On the surface, Zhang Yuan is still giggling all day long as she is fine; Liu Lei couldn't see anything, but he smoked twice as much as usual. Liu Lei chatted with me privately, saying that don't look at Zhang Yuan's giggling when everyone gets together, it's okay, and when he is alone with Liu Lei, he puts away his smiling face and becomes another person. I suddenly remembered that it seemed that every time Guo Li and I forced a smile and laughed, it was also when the four of us got along. The two girls seemed to be acting in unison for the other two people. Mom and Dad, you're all from the past, you can't imagine what it means for these things to happen, right?

This day is fourteen days before the pen fairy, and a full week from the last puncture. It's the weekend again, and the four of them have nothing to do after dinner. Liu Lei and I were tired of playing online games, and the two girls were locked in the room and cooing. Finally, Liu Lei couldn't help it: "Let's go for a ride." He closed his computer.

The two girls didn't want to go out, so Liu Lei and I drove out and wandered aimlessly. It was raining heavily, and the drips of rain were flying in front of the headlights, and it was unusually clear. Liu Lei and I were silent, needless to say, we also knew each other's minds, and we were both recalling the terrible experience of last week. Liu Lei learned the lesson of the last time, controlled the speed of the car at forty or fifty yards, and there was nothing wrong along the way. Passing by a grocery store, Liu Lei got out of the car to buy cigarettes, I sat in the car and saw a white paper pasted on the door of a pet store on the side, which could not be seen under the dim street lamp, but the word "cat" could be faintly seen. So I leaned my upper body out of the window, but I saw that it was written: "Cheap milk cats, pure black, 20 yuan each, 7 for a total of 100 yuan." ”

"Remember that black cat?" I asked as I continued on the road.

"Well, how?"

"The pet store just now sold black cats at a discount, a total of seven, which is very cheap."

"Really? Most of them are wild breeds left after domestic cats are bred by wild cats, and they are sold cheaply by their owners. Liu Lei joked. So the conversation opened. As we walked and talked, the conversation gradually turned to the mysterious black cat from last week.

"Why, you say, is that cat sitting on the hood of our car in the parking lot?" I asked.

"I don't know," Liu Lei shook his head, "Maybe it's because cats like warm places." A turned off engine dissipates heat from the outside, and the hood is warmer than the rest of the world. ”

"So, is the cat in the parking lot the same cat on the road later?"

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't. But intuitively feel yes. Did you notice that cat's eyes? ”

"Well, it's green, it's eye-catching."

At this moment, the lights in the car suddenly turned on. "Why are you turning on the lights?" I wondered. "Nope." Liu Lei's eyes widened, "God, the door is closed, how can the lights turn on by themselves?" "Who opened it if you didn't drive it?"

"Absolutely not!" Liu Lei argued, "What are I doing with the lights when I have nothing to do?" Besides, you don't know where the light switch is. Have I ever touched it? ”

Indeed, the switch is overhead, next to the light. I took a look and it was hung on the door stall, which means that the light will only turn on when the door opens. "Lines, right?" I reached out to turn it off, but the light went out the moment my hand touched the switch, but not in a normal way, but slowly, from bright to dark. I turned my head to stare at Liu Lei, and he also looked at me.

"The light switch is hung on the door stall." I trembled. "Squeak-" sounded, Liu Lei shook the plate and braked sharply, and I could see the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Open the stall?" He asked.

"Open the stall."

"That is......"

"Yes."

I can fully understand what Liu Lei didn't finish. The lights hanging from the gears automatically turned on and off, and the only plausible explanation was that the doors opened and closed without us even noticing. In a trance, I seemed to see a black hand slowly pull open the car door while I was talking and laughing with Liu Lei, sat in the car, and slowly closed the car door...... I subconsciously jerked my head back.

There's nothing out of the ordinary in the back seat, at least I can't see it. Seat after seat, seat belts sloppy together, the glass window behind the back seat was still bright and transparent, and I could see the rain staining red with the brake lights. Drop by drop, dark red, with glittering rain. It scares me even more. "Back to ...... Go home. ”

I trembled.

After returning to the road, Liu Lei drove more cautiously, but he didn't say a word. I also stared silently at the wipers swaying from side to side. There was an atmosphere of tension in the small carriage, an indescribable horror. I tried to break the silence several times, but I didn't know what to say. I began to think crankily, could it be true that what Guo Li said would happen seven days later? Are we going to encounter ...... again today? What do you encounter? Don't dare to think about it anymore.
