Chapter 3: An Invitation from Shoes
This night, Yang Jun spent the night in anxiety and confusion, and what he was thinking about now was why the owner of the coffee house disappeared for no reason, and why the paper figure was exactly the same as the owner of the coffee house. What's even more strange is that the paper figure was placed in the alley next to the coffee house, how could it appear in a wreath shop mysteriously.
It seems that all the strange sources point to that wreath shop, after all, a wreath shop that is open 24 hours a day, Yang Jun is really the first time in his life.
Yang Jun suspected more than once in his heart that the paper man might be the owner of the coffee house, but what made him wonder was how a big living person could directly become a paper man. And the mysterious man who came to drink coffee in the middle of the night is also likely to be the paper figure in the alley.
After thinking about it, there was no answer, Yang Jun covered his forehead and lay on the bed, not to mention how bored he was, everything was so messy.
Just when it was dimly sleepy, a strange "rustle" sound sounded in the corridor outside the room, and it sounded as if someone was walking outside.
In fact, none of them went back to the school dormitory tonight, and the coffee house closed at 12 midnight, and it was almost impossible to go back to school at this time, so the three of them had to live on the second floor of the coffee house. It happened that there was a big room on it, and there were two beds, so naturally Lu Qingshuang slept in one bed by himself, while he was crowded with Yang Tian.
Yang Jun pricked up his ears, and the strange sound that suddenly appeared had suppressed his sleepiness, just when he couldn't help but want to get up and find out. The voice, gone. Yang Jun began to wonder if he was lacking sleep, so he hallucinated.
Thinking about it, he lay back in bed again.
"Rustle"
Before Yang Jun could close his eyes, the strange footsteps appeared again, and this time Yang Jun confirmed that he had heard correctly, and the voice was indeed in the corridor outside the room. Listening closely, he seemed to be walking from the other end of the hallway, step by step towards the room they were in.
Closer, closer, the voice was about to come to the door of their room.
Finally, when the voice came to the door, Yang Jun sat up violently and rushed to the door, but when he opened the door, he saw that the room was empty, and there was no ghost at all.
"It's strange, obviously the sound stopped at the door, how could it be gone?" Yang Jun muttered and wanted to retract back into the room, but he suddenly noticed a pair of yellow plush slippers on the floor at the door.
These slippers are the shoes worn indoors in winter to keep their feet warm, but now it's only the autumn season, and it's not the shoes of the three of them.
The yellow cloth mop was placed neatly at the door of the room, and the front of the shoes was facing the room, and it seemed that someone was walking over with these slippers and was about to enter the room.
Unable to find the source of the sound, Yang Jun had to go back to the room angrily, looking at the sleeping Yang Tian, Yang Jun sincerely admired in his heart, this kid could sleep so peacefully no matter when. It seemed that the strange sound outside the window could not attract his attention at all, or he could not hear it at all, and he himself was startled by the inexplicable footsteps.
"Rub, it's okay if you don't want to, this thought is even more urgent."
Helplessly, Yang Jun covered his crotch and rushed to the corridor again, the location of the toilet was next to the stairs on the first floor, and the room they lived in was at the end of the corridor, which meant that he had to walk to the other end of the corridor, and then go down to the first floor to the toilet.
But just when Yang Jun stepped out of the door of the room, he suddenly noticed that something was not quite right, and hurriedly looked back, and the yellow cloth that had just been placed at the door of the room was gone.
Yang Jun couldn't help but wonder, the pair of slippers were obviously placed at the door, and no one moved, how could they say that they were gone? Moreover, there seemed to be a yin wind slowly floating in this dark corridor, as long as Yang Jun's body moved, that yin wind would stick to his skin.
"Hiss~" Yang Jun took a shuddering breath of cold air, this coffee house seems to be much colder than ordinary houses, but in the middle of the night in autumn, it can freeze people with goosebumps.
The rush of urine attacked his endurance, and he was almost unable to hold it back, and if he didn't go to the toilet again, he might become the first person in the world to hold his urine and suffocate to death. Yang Jun hurriedly ran over the staircase, and his pace slowed down as he ran, because he clearly heard that behind him, there was also a pair of feet running crackling.
The landing of the foot, the sound of the voice, completely overlapped with his own, but there was only an empty corridor behind him.
…
When Yang Jun returned to the corridor on the second floor after going to the toilet, he quietly untied the bandage wrapped around his left hand, and the white bandage also slipped off as he walked, and his black arm melted into the darkness of the corridor.
"Tread, tread, tread." Yang Jun clenched his fists tightly, and sure enough, footsteps sounded behind him, Yang Jun deliberately slowed down, the voice slowly approached him, and a cold air flow gradually flowed throughout his body.
Yang Jun turned around violently, and at this time, his body couldn't help but feel a chill, and the footsteps behind him turned out to be the pair of yellow cloth slippers, at this time, one shoe was stopped in mid-air, and the other stepped on the floor.
The two of them, oh no, were one person and one shoe confronting each other so quietly, Yang Jun's forehead had fallen a few drops of cold sweat, and the shoe hanging in the air seemed to be trembling a little unbearably. I don't know how long it took, Yang Jun finally couldn't stand it anymore, he walked directly towards the shoe, and his black left hand was still bubbling with black resentment.
Unexpectedly, Yang Jun moved, and the shoes jumped like a ghost, and he turned around and ran away.
"I'm rubbing, why do you make it look like I'm a ghost, don't run away."
Yang Jun trotted all the way after the pair of yellow cloth drags, and before he knew it, he had already chased out of the coffee house, and the place where he was at this time was the alley next to him. The alley was still as bright, but strangely, Yang Jun couldn't find out where the bright light source came from, because there was no waiting at the top, and it was even more impossible for the street lamps outside to project light in.
He still wanted to chase forward, but he was shocked to find that the resentment wrapped around his left hand disappeared. The hand is still the same black hand, and the green tendons are still violent, but the resentment that should have been wrapped around the arm, for some reason, when he stepped into this small alley, it seemed to have been eaten by something, and it turned out to be clean.
"Jun~" It seems that someone is calling himself, Yang Jun raised his head, and in front of him were two familiar but unfamiliar figures. What is familiar is that they are his two companions who are with him every day, and what is strange is that both of them are paper people. Pink cheeks, bright red lips, big round and black eyes, and a body that can be pierced with force, those big paper black eyes are rolling at him.
"Yang Tianqingshuang, how could you?" Yang Jun couldn't say any more, because Yang Tian had already dragged the paper body over, and one hand had already held Yang Jun's face.
Yang Jun only felt a smell of paper ash in his mouth, the hand that held him was powerful, but he was licked by his lips, he was scared, and his raised left hand hung down weakly. He didn't dare to touch it, Yang Tian's body was too fragile, he was afraid that he would accidentally kill the latter, so he could only let the other party slowly lift his body at this moment.
"Woo~" Yang Jun's eyes widened and struggled, this time Lu Qingshuang was already carrying a bright knife, and he walked towards him mechanically, and he couldn't see any expression on his paper face, but Yang Jun was shocked to find that there was a black figure standing behind Lu Qingshuang. The bright light couldn't illuminate him, and he could only see where a black humanoid object was located, and that person was motionless, but Yang Jun could clearly feel that he was smiling at himself.
"Jun~" The voice came from Lu Qingshuang's mouth, and the red lips obviously didn't move, but a voice came out.
The knife had already stabbed at him, and the blade glowed with a cold light, and in the blink of an eye, it could enter his body, and then bring out a blush of red
"Jun~"
Yang Jun sat up violently, Yang Tian and Lu Qingshuang stood in front of him, their faces were very anxious. Yang Jun only felt that he was soaking wet, his heart was beating so fast, and if he didn't speak in the room, he could clearly hear his heart's beating.
"Jun, what's wrong with you? Are you alright, are you having a nightmare? Lu Qingshuang walked over eagerly, looking at Yang Jun here and there with a pair of big eyes.
Yang Jun shook his head silently, he didn't speak, he didn't know if what he had just experienced could be said to be just a nightmare, or another warning. That dream may indicate that the two people in front of him will one day become a paper figure, and if that is the case, what can he do at that moment. This is what Yang Jun is most worried about now, if it weren't for the fact that the owner of the coffee house looked exactly like that paper man, maybe he wouldn't have felt so frightened.
"Jun, are you really okay? Why don't you get some rest today? Yang Tian also said with concern.
"It's okay, it's time to go back to school, let's go. I just had a nightmare, probably because of the new environment, so I don't have to worry about it. Yang Jun said and walked directly outside the room, he didn't want the two of them to see the smile on his face, it was so reluctant, and he also silently said to himself in his heart, he couldn't let that happen.
The room was empty, but no one noticed that in a nondescript corner of the room was a pair of yellow cloth slippers that did not belong to any of them.
