===========================================
Xiao Xia screamed softly, jumped to the side, and turned his head to see that he was just a lazy three.
"Boss Lan, you're going to scare me to death!" Natsu stroked her chest. Seeing that Lazy San was so drunk that he couldn't stand on his feet, and he didn't fall out of nowhere, he didn't fall in the winter, but his clothes were indescribably dirty, and his vomit was stained on the placket, and the stench that came with the wind came from this.
Xiao Xia pinched his nose and walked away, not realizing that he had almost retreated to the basement passage in order to avoid Lazy San, "Boss Lan, I advise you, drinking so much wine will hurt you." ”
"Come out quickly!" Lazy San suddenly shouted, causing Xiao Xia to shrink in fright, not knowing who he called out. She saw that Lazy San was not drunk at all at this time, as if she was awakened by an instant, and pointed at her with a pale face.
"Don't go inside!" As he spoke, he suddenly rushed over and grabbed Xiao Xia out at once.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Xia was frightened by his demeanor, and he couldn't care about the dirt on his body, so he asked in horror.
Lazy San stared at the entrance of the basement passage, with a white face and did not speak. Xiao Xia followed his gaze and saw that there was nothing there, just the dark passage that made people feel a little palpitation.
"I'm visiting the house, can't I go there?"
"Can't go!" Lazy San said nervously: "I'll tell you, don't trespass on the girls' house, it's haunted!" He said the last two words in such a low voice that he almost touched Xiao Xia's ears, and his eyes rolled around his bones.
"Ghosts?" Xiao Xia was a little frightened, not so much believing his words, but his frightened and mysterious demeanor, and the cool breeze blowing on Xiao Xia's neck made her even more scared, "I heard someone talking inside, so I wanted to go in and have a look." ”
"Someone talking?" Lazy San was so shocked that he almost sat on the ground.
"I'm not sure, it seems to be a man and a woman."
Lazy San first flinched, and then suddenly shouted, "A man and a woman!" One man and one woman! It's the murderous soul! They have come to evil me! You have the ability to take revenge, why are you bullying Lao Tzu?! The alcohol and indignation stimulated his courage, and for a moment he had a desperate thought, pointing to the passage in the basement and scolding, though he still did not dare to take a step closer.
He's messed up enough, but he's still bullying him for no reason! He was angry and didn't understand why he had a clean house, so suddenly a lot of inexplicable things happened, the police said it was a murder, and the rumors outside were haunted, shattering his hopeless but peaceful life. Did he do something unreasonable? He deserves to be unlucky?
"Don't go there, don't hear me!" He blushed and shouted at the frightened Xiao Xia, posing as a big man, thinking proudly in his heart, after all, he had just pulled this ignorant chick out of the basement entrance.
Xiao Xia nodded indiscriminately, and then ran quickly up the stairs, she could be considered to have seen the horror of a drunk man.
Tomorrow I want the company to change her place to live, it's too weird here, it's better to stay away as soon as possible, she doesn't want to encounter ghost incidents again, otherwise she will trouble Ruan Zhan again. She now understands that Ruan Zhan longs for a peaceful life, whether he is self-enclosed or hates life, she should probably think of other ways to help him, instead of forcing him to intervene in these supernatural events for no reason.
Thinking of Ruan Zhan, her heart was hot, and she suddenly remembered that he had mentioned to her once that when a person is about to die, people with vision will see the dead state on his face. Thinking like this, she subconsciously looked downstairs and happened to see Lazy San looking up.
Since he had his head up, the most prominent thing he saw from the angle of Xiao Xia, who stood at the corner of the stairs, was his face—pale, puffy, covered with a faint layer of gray, with heavy shadows under his eyes. He smiled at Natsu and grinned, but Natsu only felt eerie and weird, and ran all the way back to the room in fright.
Let's hope she's wrong, and hopefully he'll be okay and move tomorrow anyway!
She locked the door tightly, dug out the gifts of Ruan Zhan that she had carefully kept—the charms—from her bag, and decided to do some preparatory work, pasting the dozen or so charms all over the room.
She didn't know whether to use glue or not, but after trying to stick one on the door, she found that the charm could automatically attach to the object, so she climbed up the stacked tables and chairs on the doors, windows, walls, bed corners, floors, and even the roof, until the whole room was surrounded by charms, and she felt a little more relieved.
The rest of the one, she posted on the TV, lest Sadako climb out!
She was stuffed in her room and didn't go out, listening to the sound of footsteps coming and going on the wooden floor on the third floor all night.
First of all, the Japanese named Kenji Okamura, whose steps were steady and light, paused as he passed by the door of Konatsu's room, as if hesitating whether to knock on the door to say hello, but finally left. This made Xiao Xia breathe a sigh of relief, she didn't like this Japanese very much, and felt that he was a little impenetrable, but given that she was a big country and a citizen of the Etiquette Gang, and she had to maintain a good demeanor, so it made her very difficult. If he didn't take the initiative to talk, she would have been much more relaxed.
Kenji Okamura didn't come out again after returning to the room, and he stayed in the room all night like Xiao Natsu, and he didn't make any sound, even the sound when he closed the door was small.
Then there was the footsteps of Sister Wang. Contrary to the Japanese, she walks with a 'tumbling' sound, which is almost a sonic shock in the quiet of the night. She is a responsible rural woman, because there are too few guests in the hotel recently, Lazy San does not give her much money, and she urgently needs an income to support her family, so Lazy San allows her to go to the market to sell vegetables during the day, as long as she can clean the room when the guests go out, and prepare dinner at night. She was probably grateful that Lazy San had done this to her, so she cleaned the other rooms every night, even if no one was there.
Most of the footsteps Xiao Xia heard all night came from the busy Sister Wang.
Finally, it is the footsteps of lazy three.
At that time, Xiao Xia had already fallen asleep, and in her dream, she heard Lazy San's irregular and heavy steps walking upstairs, and then the sound of glass breaking, she guessed that it was breaking the wine bottle, but she didn't dare to go out to confirm it. Fortunately, after that, Lazy San went up to the attic, and without making a sound, Xiao Xia fell asleep again.
But Lazy San was not as lucky as her, and she couldn't sleep at all.
I scolded him with the strength of the wine just now, although he was happy in his heart, but he was a timid man after all, and he began to be afraid after sobering up a little. He sat there for a while, then ran out again to drink, and did not come back until now.
Sure enough, he was drunk and courageous, and when he entered the building from the outside in the dark, and when he passed through the hall on the first floor, he didn't feel hairy, as if he had never had a perverted murderer or a murderous ghost. But as far as a wine worm like him was concerned, the strength of the wine quickly passed, and before he could fall asleep, he felt the fear of his soul again.
It seems that the wind is blowing.
He felt the air in the attic and thought that maybe he should change the room, there was no one living here anyway, so why bother with himself. The old man said it well: the hole with the eye of a needle is big and the wind is big. In other seasons, it is not obvious, but in winter, when the wind blows, you can feel the difference.
In a daze, he felt the chill already soak into the room, he couldn't tell from which direction, but the cold seeped through the walls, and there was a little dampness. He wrapped the quilt tightly, but the cold still made him shiver.
"Damn, tomorrow I'll move to the Japanese devil and let him change rooms—" He cursed in a low voice, but suddenly shut up, staring at the opposite wall with wide eyes.
On the moonlit walls, there were strange changes. Patches of black shadows poured out, like mushrooms emerging from the ground after the rain. However, the mushrooms were of different sizes and strange shapes, their colors became darker and darker, as if they were soaked in water, and then they began to move slowly and intensively in one direction, and finally they formed a human shape!
The child's body was staggered, his eyebrows and eyes could not be seen clearly, and his whole body was black, and he walked down from the wall as if he had broken free.
Lazy San was so frightened that he couldn't scream, so he just took the things around him and threw them at the shadow. But everything slipped through and fell straight into the opposite wall.
Pillows, drinking glasses, alarm clocks, ashtrays
The sound of 'crackling' objects cracking sounded clearly, it was so harsh in the night, but Lazy San found that no one in the building seemed to hear it, only the little ghost suffocated and continued to approach.
What to do? Gotta escape!
He turned his consciousness into action and hurriedly rolled out of bed, trying to get out of bed before the ghost caught him.
He slept in the attic, so his door was really just a movable plank on the floor that he could jump under and call for help. He threw himself to the ground, grabbed the hoop from the plank, and pulled it up with all his might.
Beneath the plank, a round thing hung there looking up, close to Lazy San's face lying on the ground—a human head, but without eyebrows, just a few large black holes in a ball.
"It's your turn!" The sound of human hair being born hard.
Lazy San was so frightened that before he could react, he felt a chill in his back sink into his lungs, and then he was dragged back by a strong force and fell to the bed.
He quickly got up and stepped back, his arm throwing something in vain, but he had no more 'weapon' to throw at him, only the movement of his arm, and his panicked behavior made the little ghost laugh in a nutshell.
Taking advantage of the little ghost's distraction, he pushed open the window and wanted to jump off, despite the danger that he was above the third floor. But he forgot how small the window of this attic was, how big his body was, and he was stuck in mid-air, and no matter how desperately he struggled, the iron bars of the window were firmly on his stomach, so that he could not get out or go back.
In mid-air, he saw the bleak street outside the courtyard, the street lamps were weakly on, and downstairs was the small flower garden of the house, and he was desperately waiting for death.
He had never felt that death was so near, and the view in front of him might be the last of his life.
He felt a round thing bumping around in the lower half of the room, as if the human head was biting him, and on the wall of the outer eaves, the little ghost had come out of nowhere, crawling on the wall like a gecko, facing him.
"It's your turn!" It said the same thing.
"Why?" He finally asked, wondering what the reason for all this was.
"Because I like to kill!"
Lazy San only felt a chill in his waist, and subconsciously understood what was happening.
Surprise, fear, and anger welled up in his heart.
"Bastard! Grandpa, I'm waiting for you in hell! ”
In the face of death, he, a cowardly and useless man all his life, finally spoke the most heroic and manly language in his life.
