Chapter 2: The Phantom in the Mirror

Chapter II

At half past two in the middle of the night, when the ghost was wandering, Xue Wenli and I were finally able to get out after making a record at the Public Security Bureau.

In the sub-bureau, I learned that the corpse that fell from the sky and was torn apart was actually my college classmate and colleague Li Ming. We've known each other for years, but he was so broken that his head was a broken watermelon that he couldn't be recognized.

I even admired myself a little that I didn't vomit on the spot.

Xue Wenli and I were the only witnesses at the scene, so naturally we had to cooperate with the police to make a record.

Although Xue Wenli and I were both informants, I was more troublesome, because I was the last caller on Li Ming's mobile phone, so the police officer handling the case interrogated me carefully for several hours. I almost broke down before I gave up.

I was annoyed before I remembered that Li Ming's kid was a Nokia ash fan when he was alive! Everyone was broken, the phone was still strong, and I was drunk.

But I also don't understand how Li Ming, who is usually full of liveliness, could jump off the building and commit suicide! And I don't understand that this thing still asked me to work for me during the day, and jumped from the staff dormitory building at night, and fell to my death.

It's a coincidence. If I were a police officer, I would have suspected that there was something wrong with me.

After making the record, the police handling the case were quite humane, and sent me and Xue Wenli home separately in a police car.

My home is in Shibei Garden, a very old community.

In fact, I am a countryman, but when I was in high school, my father made some money from antiques, and bought a house in the county, but the location is not good, not only close to the train station, the noise is loud, the unit where I live is still in the innermost part of the community, it is very inconvenient to enter and exit, and the only benefit is that the price is cheap.

At this moment, it was almost three o'clock in the morning, and except for a few street lamps in the community, which still emitted a dim light, the rest was pitch black.

Walking on the quiet community path, lined with black holes and buildings without a trace of light, it feels really a bit crazy, as if you are in the ancient ruins.

But I am a medical student, and my courage is not ordinary, and I absolutely do not believe in the theory of gods and ghosts, just because what happened today is too miserable and weird, and my mentality is inevitably affected.

My unit is in the northwest corner of the community, walk along the center road to the end, and turn west to arrive.

But when I got to this point, I was in almost pitch black darkness, the street lights had been broken for more than half a year, and the damn property hadn't been repaired, but the property fees were collected by the grandsons on time like clocks.

Fortunately, I'm familiar with it, and I can walk well with my eyes closed.

Through this darkness, I came to the downstairs of my house, and a small dim lamp was lit at the entrance of the staircase, illuminating a palm-sized piece of road in front of the building.

I stood on the edge of the light, looking at the clear cracks on the concrete floor, my heart couldn't help but tighten, as if I had been pricked by a steel needle, I took a deep breath, bypassed the bright road, and took out the key to unlock it.

"Crunch" opened the heavy security door, and a straight figure stood in front of me, close at hand, this guy's face under the hat was pitch black, and I was almost scared. With a whoosh, faster than a mouse that saw a cat and a mouse, he jumped out of the door, and the security door slammed shut in front of me like a cannon.

, it's a human or a ghost! The cold sweat on my forehead came down, and I guess even my hair stood up.

I stood outside the door and calmed down for a moment, feeling that something was wrong, if the black shadow just now was a person, who was sick and stood at the top of the stairs in the middle of the night to be scary. But if the hell is it, I guess I'd have hung up by now.

No, the figure was tall and thin, could it be ...... I think I know what it is.

I reached out and grabbed the doorknob, pulled it open, and then quickly flashed to the side, and the light at the top of the staircase shone into the hallway, and sure enough, as I expected, a clothes rack was standing by the door, with an overcoat hanging on it, and even more infuriatingly, a hat buttoned on top.

"I'm fucking Nima, who the fuck put this!" I shouted in a rage. This prank is so hateful, my nerves have been greatly stimulated today, and I am about to collapse, this frightens me for no reason, I provoked someone!

I wanted to scold again, but I found that there were still a lot of cardboard boxes and some pots and pots and pots and other daily utensils next to the clothes rack, and then I understood that someone had moved.

After seeing it, my anger immediately dissipated a lot, but I was still very unhappy in my heart, who is this, I can't put anything, this is me, change to another one, I was so scared that I had a heart attack, and I had to faint on the spot.

I muttered as I walked upstairs.

This building was built in the late eighties, has a history of more than 20 years, narrow corridors and closed small windows caused the whole building to have poor ventilation, the corridor has a perennial smell of poor air, especially in the rainy season, up and down the stairs can smell a very heavy smell of mold and rot.

The lighting installed in the corridor in the building was incandescent lamp, which was replaced by voice-activated lamps in recent years, but unfortunately the quality was uneven, either so bad that it could not be used, or it was sluggish and stomped on the floor slab and would not light up the tatters.

My house was in the attic on the top floor, and I almost climbed to the top of the building.

At this point, it is estimated that the family is sleeping soundly. I carefully unlocked the door and gently pushed the door open, and the living room was bright.

I was stunned, but I walked in.

I saw an old man with a gray face sitting on the sofa. In his fifties, he was wearing an old camouflage uniform and was chewing a piece of Jiangmi noodles with relish.

And next to him stood a half-aged in light-colored translucent gauze pajamas, smiling with low eyebrows. She is my stepmother, Chen Meng.

Although this woman is nearly forty years old, she does not look old at all, with peach blossom eyes, a water snake waist, plump buttocks and thin legs, and a coquettish temperament without losing her charm. It's a world of difference from the guy next to her who looks and temperaments like a country ragged. To be honest, I wondered, what did she fancy my dad, why did she marry him such a redbilly with no money, no power and no interest?

That's right, the old man who drank the inferior liquor on the rice noodles was my father, and he was in the antique business, but I think he was more like a tomb robber. Not long ago, he didn't go to Shanxi to sweep the goods, why did he come back?

I closed the door casually, stood in the living room and said with some embarrassment, "You, you haven't slept yet?" ”

"Xiao Soul is off work? It's really late today, haven't you eaten, I'll give you some heat. When Chen Meng saw me, he immediately gave up his father and walked towards me with a smile.

"No need, I've eaten it, thank you!" I politely waved my hand.

No way! Chen Meng'er is also too sexy to wear today, the low-cut, snow-white large, deep furrow is even sexier than Xue Wenli's, and the skin is excellent, as delicate as mutton fat jade.

Don't look at indecent acts! I hurriedly lowered my eyes, but found that this girl was really sassy, the gauze pajamas were too thin, and the sea blue inner part of the lower body was unobstructed. I hurriedly lowered my head again, and saw a pair of white and tender little feet, playfully wearing red nail polish, I will strangle it!

I turned my head, walked around her, looked at my father, who was drinking, and whispered unnaturally, "Dad! ”

"Oh, by the way, your dad just entered the door, he has been out for months, and he will go out again tomorrow, so you can't stay at home with our mother!" The last sentence was addressed to my dad, and the tone was full of resentment. It gave me goosebumps.

"You think I don't want to, support my wife," my dad said as he took a drink, licked his lips and looked at Chen Meng's big breasts with a smile.

"You are a father, and your son will not pay attention to it when he comes back!" Chen Meng glared at his father with a shy smile and complained.

"It's all mixed up with you!" The father grinned with his big yellow teeth, and he turned his head to me and smiled, "Come on, son, have a drink!" ”

"Who's drinking your pee!" Chen Meng glanced at his father and said to me, "Xiao Soul, I'll go get a beer, you sit first!" With that, he walked to the kitchen.

"No, no!" I hurriedly stopped, "I'm tired, Dad, eat slowly!" ”

"Oh, okay, then you go and rest!" Chen Meng was as kind as he was, and nodded and said kindly.

I politely nodded like my father, and went straight back to my bedroom, and boom, the bedroom door closed behind me. I leaned my back against the door and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more natural.

I don't like any of those two people outside. One is away from home all day, and the other, hum! She doesn't belong in this family at all! If only Mom were alive!

My heart ached again.

With a long sigh, I felt the corners of my eyes moisten, and I covered my face with my hands and let out a low roar, only then did I feel more comfortable. I threw my backpack down the computer chair next to the bed and turned around to wash my face before going to sleep.

Pushing open the door, the lights in the living room went out, and my father and Chen Meng went back to their bedroom. I didn't want to see them, but that's good, and I seem to be in a better mood.

After a few steps into the bathroom, turning on the lights and turning on the faucet, I washed my face a few times, and the cold water stimulated my face and made my body and mind feel a little refreshed.

I raised my drenched face, shook my wet hair, and naturally stared at the mirror in a daze, but the next second, I was stunned.

It wasn't my face in the mirror at all, it was an old face, and a pair of sinister yellow eyes stared at me. No way!

I took a step back in fright, and looked in the mirror again, and it was my panicked figure and frightened face.

What's going on? Was it just dazzling? But it's so clear! …… I looked at the water-stained mirror, shook my head and sighed, I'm afraid I'm too nervous today!

The water from the faucet was still flowing, so I stepped forward to turn it off, reached for a towel and wiped my face, and when I was done, I looked at the mirror again with some anxiety, but there was still a skeptical expression in the mirror. It seems that I am really dazzled, and I really need to rest and rest.

As soon as I turned around, there was a person standing at the door of the bathroom, it was so sudden that I was so scared that I almost sat on the floor.

Through the dim light of the bathroom, I could see the figure clearly, it turned out to be my father, when he stood behind me, why didn't he make a sound at all, I was so frightened that my heart was pounding, and I was about to complain. But I found that my father was very strange, did not speak, and his eyes were very weird, so bright that he was frightening, and released a ** that was ingested, as if I was a piece of fat and he was a hungry wolf.

I felt a chill down my spine, and then Chen Meng appeared, she grabbed her father's arm, and said softly but firmly, "Lao Xiao pressed my back, it hurts so much." ”

Without saying anything, he pulled his father back into the room.

I took the opportunity to flee back to my room, closed the door tightly, and felt uneasy.

Kazuki lay on the bed, my heart couldn't calm down for a long time, that gaze was really terrifying, which was the human gaze, it was clearly the greedy and ferocious gaze that only wild beasts can have when hunting.

I took a deep breath and wondered in my heart, but the exhaustion crept in, and before I could figure out why, I fell asleep unconsciously.
