Chapter 019: Old House, Black Cat

It was a black cat, and its hair had fallen out in many parts of its body, revealing rotten polyps, which looked like it had been scalded by boiling water, but its black hair looked like it had been burned. The black cat was lying on the ground, and the light of the flashlight shone on it when it suddenly stood up.

The black cat cries at night, always like a burst of baby crying, it is not afraid of people at all, and its two round eyes are staring straight at me, to be precise, staring behind me. I subconsciously turned my head and looked back, and there was a strong wind outside, and the weeds were dancing wildly.

It's so dark in the grass that you always feel like something is popping out of it. There was nothing behind me, and as soon as I turned around, the black cat suddenly rushed towards me like crazy. I took a step back in a panic, and just as the black cat's paw was about to grab me in the face, I swung my fist and the black cat was knocked aside by me.

With two wails, the black cat ran out of the house and into the grass. I patted my chest, to be honest, I don't like small animals, I can even say that I am a little afraid of small animals, especially this kind of crazy, just now the black cat, like emerald-like eyes, is deeply reflected in my head.

I looked around, and finally I grabbed the handrail and went upstairs. The house was so old, and the stairs were all wooden, and I doubted that the small planks would be able to hold my weight when I stepped on the thin planks. With each step up, the entire staircase shakes and makes a "crunch" sound.

Cautiously, I climbed up with difficulty, and at the top of the stairs was connected to a small wooden door, but this small wooden door was about to turn into charcoal. I pushed it lightly, and the charred door "slammed" and fell to the ground and smashed. With this smash, all the dust on the ground was raised, and I waved it vigorously in front of me.

When the ash was gone, I took a fresh look at the old house. Like the first floor, there were scorched tables and chairs, and on the side of the door was a bed, all blocked by a black curtain. When I stepped on it, I only felt a tremor under my feet, and the floor on the second floor was also wooden.

In such an old house, the wood in the room has already been damp and rotten, I took a flashlight to look around, this old house, is indeed a little strange. Even after more than ten years, the traces of the fire are still obvious, but the strange thing is that the wooden walls and wooden floors have not been burned, but a large number of tables, chairs and wooden utensils have been scorched.

I was worried that the floor would not be able to hold my weight, so I decided to leave immediately, but I had barely taken a step when I stopped because I heard another person's breathing......

The night was quiet, and I could hear any sound in the house. The sound of even breathing came from my left front, and there was the only bed in the room. The bed was right next to the door, and a high black curtain hung down from the roof, enclosing it all.

"Who's there?" I called tentatively, but no one answered.

It wasn't a hallucination, I plucked out my ears, I could still hear the breathing, I picked up my flashlight, and walked towards the bed step by step, my heart was beating fast, not scared, but uneasy. With every step I took, the floor made a crunching sound, and the sound of my breathing became a little faster.

Finally, I reached the bedside, and I reached forward vigilantly, and after pulling the black curtain, my breathing stopped abruptly. Without hesitation, I pulled hard, and a bright red color hit my pupils. It was a woman, dressed in red, with her back to me, crouching on the bed.

Her hair was all scattered and draped behind her, this dress, I know, was worn by Shen Nuo during the day.

"Ms. Shen?" I screamed softly, I wasn't sure if the woman in front of me was Shen Nuo, I remember that during the day, Shen Nuo's hair was tied up.

The woman didn't answer me, her movements were very strange, she didn't wear shoes, she was squatting with her back to me like that, her body was still shaking, the sound of breathing just now was clearly from her, but at this moment, I couldn't even feel that she was breathing. The uneasiness intensified, and I screamed again, and this time, she finally moved.

Professor Li ...... "I'm sure that the woman in front of me is Shen Nuo." Although her tone was a little mournful at the moment, completely different from the playfulness of the daytime, her voice would not change.

I breathed a sigh of relief, "Why don't you answer the phone?" "I noticed that Shen Nuo's feet were her mobile phone.

Shen Nuo didn't answer me again, the atmosphere was a little wrong, Shen Nuo didn't turn his head, I asked her to go with me, and she didn't react at all. I put my hand on Shen Nuo's shoulder and wanted to pull her up, but I was stunned. Shen Nuo's clothes were very thin, and there was no temperature on her body at all.

"I knew you would come......" Shen Nuo suddenly said quietly.

I stretched out my hand back, and the words of the old man suddenly flashed in my head, all four members of the Shen family died in that fire.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked in a deep voice.

"Do you know, fifteen years ago, there was a fire here, and that fire burned four people, a loving couple, a twelve-year-old brother, and a younger sister who was less than nine years old......" Shen Nuo didn't answer my question, and slowly talked about the fire. Shen Nuo had her back to me, so I had no way to see her expression," Professor Li...... Do you know what that little girl's name is......"

Shen Nuo spoke very slowly, I don't know if it was an illusion, the temperature in the room was getting lower and lower, the wooden window was blown open, and a cool breeze poured in. Shen Nuo's hair draped behind him, and he flew up with his teeth and claws, but unfortunately, the flashlight ran out of power again at a critical moment.

The pale moonlight shone through the window on Shen Nuo's back......

"You, do you want to say, that little girl's name is Shen Nuo?" I asked.

After a period of silence, Shen Nuo spoke faintly again: "Don't you believe in ghosts and gods? ”

"I don't believe it." Without the slightest hesitation, I gave Shen Nuo an answer directly.

"Then you, why are you sweating profusely at the moment......" Shen Nuo's voice suddenly became ethereal, the wind stopped, and her hair returned to calm. I reached out and touched my forehead, and sure enough, my forehead was already covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, Shen Nuo didn't turn around, but he knew that I was sweating.

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer Shen Nuo, and it was at this time that Shen Nuo suddenly stood up. She stood on the bed with her hands down, her head almost reaching the roof. I looked up at Shen Nuo's back, and she was turning towards me little by little.

Finally, I could see clearly that under the black hair, her face was not bloody, and the pale moonlight made her face even pale. Only her lips were so red that they seemed to drip blood, and her red clothes, in the moonlight, looked like they had been skinned and oozing blood.

Shen Nuo walked towards me, I subconsciously took a step back, she had already stepped on the edge of the bed, suddenly, she closed her eyes, her whole body fell forward, seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, I reached out and caught her. Not only her shoulders, but her whole body was cold, and I shook Shen Nuo, who fell in my arms, a little worried.

Shen Nuo didn't react at all, I took out my mobile phone and wanted to call someone, but Shen Nuo suddenly laughed out loud, stunned, I understood, Shen Nuo was pretending, I actually fell in love with this naughty girl! Under the knot, I pushed Shen Nuo to the side.

Shen Nuo screamed in pain and rolled a few times on the wooden floor, shaking the entire floor.

Shen Nuo struggled to stand up, she patted the dust on her body, and said to me with a smile: "Professor Li, do you look like this to women?" ”

"Ms. Shen, do you know that I'm very busy, is it fun for you to pretend to be a fool of me like this?" I clenched my fists, and this time, I was really angry.

Shen Nuo didn't care at all, she stuck out her tongue and jumped in front of me, "Are you concerned about me?" ”

"Ms. Shen!" It's been a long time since I've had such a big fire, "I'm busy, please don't do this again!" After speaking, I turned around and was about to leave, but Shen Nuo shouted behind me, saying that I was not afraid that she would wear red clothes and be targeted by the murderer of the woman in red.

I stood still, a little helpless, I really can't just leave Shen Nuo alone, I suppressed my anger that was about to erupt, and let her go down with me. Shen Nuo was very happy and immediately jumped up and down. The wooden floors were already old like this, but Shen Nuo turned a blind eye to them, and was not worried that she would collapse the floor if she jumped like this.

We came out of the back door, and within a few steps, Shen Nuo screamed, I turned my head and asked her what was wrong, Shen Nuo seemed to be really frightened this time, covering his mouth with one hand and pointing to the ground with the other. I followed her fingertips, and in the corner, a black cat was lying there, its rotting body, right in front of us.

This black cat, the same one I saw before, it didn't move, I picked up a branch from the ground and poked it lightly, but it still didn't move. This cat, which was fine just now, didn't expect to die so soon. Shen Nuo squatted on the ground, covered his face and cried.

"Ms. Shen, it's just a cat, come with me quickly." I looked at Shen Nuo who was sobbing, and wondered in my heart, how could Shen Nuo dare to come to such a gloomy old mansion alone at night, and be frightened by a black cat that had already died.

After crying for a while, Shen Nuo stood up again, she pulled my sleeve with a dead face, I wanted to go back quickly, so I didn't get rid of her.
