After eating, several people took a taxi to the downstairs of Liu Yan's house.

When I called just now, Liu Yan's father's company happened to be at home, Zhao Yan couldn't tell the truth, only said that he cared about the child and wanted to go and see, and the parents rushed over after thanking him.

The surroundings were still quiet, and the breeze was blowing and sending a burst of fragrance. Everyone had their own agendas, and no one said anything, Zhao Yan pointed to the window on the fourth floor and said, "That is his room, and it was like this when I came last time." ”

A few people looked in the direction pointed by Zhao Yan, and the lights next to them were on, only the thick curtain of the window blocked it, and they couldn't see it clearly. Several people lowered their heads and were about to enter the building when Zhao Yan was stunned, and in a trance, he saw a pair of hands with white and red nails stretched out from the curtain, Zhao Yan was frightened, and when he looked closely, there was nothing, and the window was still pitch black.

Xiao Ming saw that something was wrong with Zhao Yan and asked, "What's wrong with you, sweating all over your head?" ”

"No, nothing, let's go up" After speaking, he wiped the cold sweat on his face, he didn't know if he was dazzled, but if he said it, he was afraid of scaring the big wave that followed, so he didn't say anything and walked in first.

Dabo didn't say a word all the way, and at this time he also raised his head and peeked at the window with the corner of his eye, and followed quickly. A few people walked in the empty corridor, Zhao Yan always felt that there was something behind him, and he didn't see anything when he turned around a few times, and when he walked up to the third floor, he always felt even stronger, which made him feel a little suffocated.

He stopped on the third and a half floors, because out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the shadows on the wall were not three but four, Da Bo walked at the end, and the extra shadow was lying on Da Bo's back, if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it, it was a woman's shadow, her hair was long and hanging down, on Da Bo's shoulders, only one silhouette couldn't see anything clearly, Zhao Yan's frightened heart was raised, he didn't dare to look but was involuntarily attracted to see it, he wanted to turn back but was afraid to turn back and see a terrifying grimace, Sweat ran down his back.

Just when he didn't know what to do, the voice-activated lights in the corridor went out, and it was pitch black all around, Zhao Yan heard a sound of "sand, sand", like the friction sound of a woman wearing a long skirt dragging on the ground, walking up layer by layer, very slowly, just when he was about to break down, there was a cough, and the light turned on.

Zhao Yan seemed to have experienced a few years at this moment, and he had a feeling after drowning, panting heavily, his face was covered with sweat, "What's wrong with you" Xiao Ming asked with concern.

Leaning against the wall, his legs trembling, he asked softly, "Did you hear anything?" ”

"No, there's no sound, did you hear the big wave?" Xiao Ming turned around and asked Dabo.

Dabo shook his head and didn't speak. Da Bo didn't say anything to Ben along the way, Zhao Yan looked at Da Bo, there was nothing behind him, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say it.

"Forget it, let's go up, it's his house above," Zhao Yan calmed down, turned around and walked up.

He took out the key from under the carpet at the door and opened the door, which was what Liu Yan's father told him, and he usually put the key there when no one was at home.

It was pitch black in the room, and the lights were not on. The smell of candles filled the room.

Several people used their mobile phones to find the switch, and the light came on with a "snap". Da Bo and Xiao Ming looked at the room, Zhao Yan pointed to the door inside and said softly: "Liu Yan's room, I'll go first to see if you guys are coming, don't scare the child." Xiao Ming and Da Bo had no opinion, and Zhao Yan pushed open the door of the child's room.

Liu Yan lay on the bed and slept very soundly, and Ben didn't feel that anyone came in, there were still two half-burned candles on the table, everything was no different from when he left, Zhao Yan waved his hand and called Xiao Ming and Dabo in, and several people closed the door again. The room was not large and was crowded with a few people.

The three of them walked to the side of the bed and looked around Liu Yan, the child's face was pale and bloodless, and the candlelight flickered and brought the shadows of several people on the wall, and the atmosphere was very ghostly.

Zhao Yan asked Xiao Ming gently: "What should I do?" ”

Xiao Ming waved his hand and didn't speak, took the big bag, and took out a few things from it, a porcelain bowl for eating, a red cloth, and a bag of millet. Zhao Yan and Da Bo stepped back and gave the bed to Xiao Ming.

He first poured the millet into the bowl, then wrapped the bowl with a red cloth, held the four corners of the red cloth with one hand, turned the bowl upside down, and then sat on the edge of the bed, and gently lifted the quilt with the other hand, revealing Liu Yan's entire body.

Xiao Ming took the bowl and drew circles on Liu Yan's head, muttering while drawing: "When the child comes home, he drinks water when he is thirsty and eats rice when he is hungry" repeating this sentence repeatedly.

After a while, there was no change, and Zhao Yan didn't dare to ask anything when he looked at Xiao Ming, for fear of disrupting Xiao Ming's conjuring. When he was anxious in his heart, Xiao Ming stopped his movements, straightened the bowl, uncovered the red cloth, and waved his hand to let Zhao Yan get closer.

Zhao Yan looked into the bowl and opened his mouth wide and was stunned, just now he saw that it was obviously a whole bowl of rice and now only two-thirds were left, and the less than half a bowl of millet was gone at some point.

"You don't have to be surprised, I'll fill it up in a while, repeat it a few times, and the last bowl of rice is not missing, even if the soul is brought back, but we can look at the bowl, no matter what we are afraid of, a shadow can appear in the bowl with this method, and we will know what's going on by looking at it" After speaking, Xiao Ming held up the bowl.

Zhao Yan was also curious to take a closer look at it by the faint candlelight, there was indeed a deep mark on it, but he couldn't see it clearly, Zhao Yan just wanted to ask Xiao Ming what it was, but he saw Xiao Ming's brows gradually twisted together, and he looked at it for a long time and whispered: "It's the first time I've seen this situation, it seems to be a skull on it, I can't see what's going on, for example, if it's a dog, it proves that it was scared by a puppy, if it's a person, it's scared, but there has never been a skeleton, and I don't know what's going on now." After speaking, let Zhao Yan see it.

At first, he didn't see what it looked like, and after Xiao Ming finished speaking, he also felt that it really looked like a miniature version of a skeleton.

"I'd better go ahead and wake him up first and ask him to see if I can find out why." After speaking, Xiao Ming filled the bowl with millet again, and began to summon spirits in the same way, and after a while, Xiao Ming opened the red cloth again, and several people were stunned. There was not more and more rice in the bowl as Xiao Ming said, but on the contrary, it was less than a third, and Zhao Yan looked at Xiao Ming and said what was going on.

Xiao Ming put away his things and gently covered the quilt for the child and said: "I can't continue, his soul must be detained, if there is no rice left in the soul bowl forcibly, the child can't be saved."

At this moment, the temperature in the room dropped sharply, a gust of wind blew, and the candlelight flickered as if it was about to go out at any moment. Zhao Yan suddenly saw a pair of white and bloodless Qianqian hands with red nails stretched out from the curtain behind Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming sensed that Zhao Yan was wrong and followed his gaze and looked back, at this time, several people saw a headless woman standing in the corner of the wall next to the curtain, she was wearing a white sand dress, her legs were scorched black by the fire, and in some places there were white bones exposed, and there were no feet underneath, just hanging there.

Zhao Yan took a few steps back in fright, cold sweat flowed, and Xiao Ming was also stupid and looked at the ghost in the corner without moving. At this moment, there was a grim laugh behind Zhao Yan, and he turned around suddenly, and Dabo stood behind him like a zombie.

At this time, Da Bo's face was covered with a layer of white frost, his eyes were blue, his forehead was black, his lips were red and scary, his mouth was open and he made a sound of "sand, sand" from his throat, and his numb expression stared at Xiao Ming.

There was another shadow on the wall next to Da Bo's shadow, and that shadow had only one head, lying behind Da Bo's head. The wind gusted in the room, Da Bo's stiff body suddenly took a step forward, like a hammer smashed on the hearts of several people, Zhao Yan suddenly followed and took a step back, just when he was about to collapse, a crisp gong sounded, Da Bo shivered with the sound of the gong, his body was soft as if he had fallen, Zhao Yan hurriedly stepped forward to support him, at this time the room was not as gloomy as just now, the headless woman and the hand on the window were gone, and the candle was about to burn out.

Xiao Ming and Zhao Yan helped Dabo to take something out of the room, walked to the living room, several people breathed a sigh of relief, the inside and outside of the house gave people the feeling of two worlds, a few people walked to the sofa and sat down, Xiao Ming saw that there was a refrigerator at home, took out a few bottles of water from it, and everyone felt better after drinking a few sips.

Zhao Yan asked slowly: "Xiao Ming, what's going on, was it true or false just now." ”

"Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly, it seems that we are in big trouble this time" Xiao Ming gasped and said.
