The face of that figure is blurred, and it looks like it is thin and withered, this posture seems to be worshipping reverently......

"Shhh......hhh

I saw at a glance that when the man knelt down, the soles of his feet were as black as the footprints on the ceiling!

Strange, could it be that the series of footprints on the ceiling were not left by the ghost keeper at all, but by this thing?

"Knock ......" took a step forward, and he kowtowed, slowly but surely, and soon came to us.

At the same time, I heard it clearly, and the person, kowtowed, and muttered: "Thirty-five......"

Kowtowed again, and muttered again: "Thirty-six......"

I suddenly thought of the Tibetan custom of turning mountains, but this is not a religious holy place, so what are you doing?

Cheng Ke turned his head sideways and looked at the person fixedly, and habitually pulled me behind me, I had to suppress my curiosity and obediently shrank behind him, This feeling is very familiar, as if I often stand in this position behind Cheng Ke.

Me, do I often stand here?

No, it's the calamus that stands here with Cheng Ke.

The "man" didn't seem to see us at all, and went straight from us to the door, as if he was dragged by the yellow charm, climbed onto the bed, and continued to count: "Thirty-seven......

His forehead hit the headboard all at once!

"Thirty-seven...... XXXVII......"

Again and again...... And when he was counting, little by little saliva was left on his mouth, and it fell on the pillow.

I kind of understand why Lucas's head is bald! Also, when I was lying on the massage table, something fell from the sky......

No wonder, Cheng Ke didn't want me to know!

My throat is itching more and more, and I'm about to vomit.

Cheng Ke's cold hands covered my mouth, and said in a low voice: "Don't alarm it, let's see what this is." ”

What could it be that Cheng Ke didn't even know? I looked at the strange thing, it was clearly in front of me, but I could only see a rough outline, as if the camera was not focusing correctly, and everything closer than it was farther could be seen very clearly, but it was the only one, blurry, that is, I couldn't see clearly!

"It hasn't taken shape yet," Cheng Ke tilted his head sideways, looking very serious: "The number in the mouth should also have the meaning of the number." ”

The thing slammed and bumped into the bed solidly, seemingly oblivious to whether there was anyone on the bed or not, just doing it mechanically.

"Lu Qiao!" At this moment, suddenly a voice called me from outside: "What are you doing here during working hours?" ”

I could hear it, it was Shirley's voice, and besides, there was a little anger in her voice!

Strange to say, as soon as Shirley's voice came out, the strange figure immediately stopped hitting the head of the bed, as if it had dissolved into the night, and disappeared!

I was taken aback, and when I turned around, Shirley happened to walk behind me, staring at me unhappily with a pair of apricot eyes, and said, "This is your work attitude?" On the first day of work today, I was derelict in my duties, let us use you how to use you! ”

I quickly apologized and said, "I...... I'm here to help Lucas tidy up his bedroom, after all, I'm his assistant, and I thought it was the scope of work......

"The beauty salon business is your scope of work." Shirley had a cold face, took out the leader's style, and said stiffly: "Don't have a second time." ”

I quickly nodded: "Okay, I'll go down now." ”

Shirley couldn't see Cheng Ke, glanced at me, pointed to a few rooms nearby, and said, "There aren't many staff in our beauty salon now, you can stay in the room on the left." ”

I nodded, can only live on the left side? On the right side, can't you live?

Lucas's house is on the right, I paid attention to the house on the right, and sure enough, as long as I look closely, I can find that the house on the right side has a little black trace, probably that strange thing, door to door to visit.

"Come down." Shirley's tone slowed down a bit: "You have a boyfriend? ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then said casually, "It's just a male friend." ”

Cheng Ke's face immediately sank, and I pretended not to see it.

Shirley nodded and said, "That's good, I don't want you to bring people from outside into this place, it's taboo." ”

"I understand." Of course I know what she means.

"Alright, come down with me." Shirley sank, but still said, "If you see something you shouldn't see, please treat it as if you didn't see it." With that, he turned around and went downstairs.

I followed, and when I got to the first floor, Shirley pointed to the cabinet at the front desk and said, "Xiaodong has gone out, but now I have to rush to buy something, you can take a look here." ”

I quickly nodded, Shirley seemed to be a little distrustful of me, and said, "Don't touch anything, there's surveillance here." ”

"I'm not going to move." I smiled a soft and harmless smile.

It's weird.

When Shirley left, I searched left and right for a long time before I found a blind spot that could not be captured by the surveillance, squatted down, and rubbed under the large desk.

If you can open a store, you must have a business license, and if you have a business license, you must have a corporate legal person.

To find the clue behind the scenes, you have to look at this.

Cheng Ke frowned: "What are you doing?" ”

"Stupid." I pointed to monitoring.

When I pointed my finger at the monitor, I saw that the monitoring "ping" exploded all of a sudden, and a trace of white smoke came out!

"Stupid." Cheng Ke frowned and said, "It's broken, can't you deny it." ”

I half-opened my mouth, such a simple and rude, I really have a fight with my second grandfather.

But the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, while she has not come back, I quickly rummaged through the contents of the cabinet, at this time, bean sprouts swayed in from the outside, saw me rummaging things, surprised: "What is the master looking for?" ”

I hurriedly said, "It's nothing, it's just, sort out the paperwork......"

"Could it be, the master wants to check the details of this beauty salon, right?" The bean sprouts showed a feeling of understanding in seconds, and pulled out a white folder with a familiar way: "I won't tell you, since what happened to Ermaozi, I am also puzzled, I have already checked it, and it is here!" Take a look, master! ”

Bean sprouts are really a blessing like a tiger, I quickly thanked and took it, opened it and took a look, sure enough, it was the procedure for opening a beauty salon, but all the representatives were Shirley's own name!

She's the real boss here? But...... Not like! It seems that the mastermind behind the scenes is really fully prepared, and let Shirley come to the top of the tank for anything.

Looking at Shirley's appearance, even if it is a top tank, it is also a top tank without regrets......

Also for money? But that desperate look......

I thought about it, put all those documents back, and after a while, Shirley came back, carrying a huge black plastic bag in her hand, which was bulging with a lot of things, and saw me, before I was about to speak, but I saw the broken monitor, and my face sank all of a sudden, and I was about to make a difficulty, but the bean sprouts stood up: "Oh, Shirley, I'm really embarrassed, just now I put the power bank in the socket under the monitoring, who knows, that thing is not of good quality, it exploded, and even the monitor is involved." …… Otherwise, you can deduct the money for repairing the monitor from my salary! ”

Bean sprouts are so moral! Just rush this, it is estimated that he is in the Black Bully Gang, and he will be able to get ahead sooner or later! I couldn't help but cast a grateful glance, and the bean sprouts replied with a righteous "It's not a thing" expression.

Shirley's face froze, she glared at me, didn't say anything, and stuffed her bag under the desk, just as something poked inside, a stick like a stick, and the black plastic bag was almost broken.

Strange, what did she buy? Is it chopsticks?

Shirley noticed my gaze, and her high-heeled foot kicked the black plastic bag under the desk at once, and said coldly, "Go up to the second floor, there's nothing to do with you here." ”

Of course, I realized that I was troubled, so I turned around with a smile, and the bean sprouts clenched her right fist and shook it, signaling "I'm optimistic about you."

I nodded and went up the stairs.

Cheng Ke's big eyes swept over the black plastic bag with a dark look, and he followed me up.

Stepping on the soft carpet, I whispered, "What did you say, what did she buy?" The gods are mysterious, and they are not allowed to be seen. ”

"You don't smell sandalwood?" Cheng Ke said: "Inside, it is something for use. ”

Sandalwood...... With you by your side, how can I smell the scent of sandalwood in other places.

"It seems that she must have something to do with those strange things...... "I analyzed it to myself, "but she is also a human being, is it for money?" But looking at the way the account looks, the money looks like she came out of herself, which is really weird......"

I lowered my head and just cared about talking, but I didn't pay attention to hit Cheng Ke's back all of a sudden, Cheng Ke turned around, took my hand, and pointed to a painting on the wall of the staircase with the other hand.

I looked along the passenger's fingertips for some reason, and saw that the person on the painting was the beautiful woman on the humanoid stand!

And standing side by side with that beauty was Shirley.

It turns out that that beauty is indeed a person? She's quite close to Shirley, like two sisters!

Strange, what is their relationship? Is it just a working partner of beauty endorsements, or is it ......

"Knock...... "At this time, on the stairs, the sound ......of kowtowing appeared again! That thing, from the third floor, came down......

My eyes widened to see the black shadow kneeling at us from the corner of the stairs!

"You wait for me." Cheng Ke held me tightly with one hand, and with the other hand, his slender fingers moved slightly, and he was about to catch that strange thing!

"Thirty-seven...... Thirty-seven ......" The number in the mouth of that strange thing has been stagnant on this thirty-seven since just now, and it is still counting!

One of my hearts rose to my throat, staring at the thing.

Cheng Ke stretched his eyebrows, as if he understood something in an instant, and raised his hand high, but at this time, my other hand was held by a cold hand!

At the same time, a shrill voice shouted: "Run!" ”

When I looked back, it was none other than Shirley, who rushed over and pulled me hard and pushed me to the ground! Because I was caught off guard, my body suddenly lost my balance, broke free of Cheng Ke's hand, and rolled down the stairs!

There was a flower in front of me, but the afterglow swept away, Cheng Ke wanted to stretch out his hand to me, but Shirley hit Cheng Ke headfirst and crashed in the direction where the strange man was!

"Oops......" rolled a few floors, and the corner of his forehead hit the sharp corner of the steps several times, and then he fell heavily on the platform at the corner of the stairs!

"Bad luck ......" I touched my waist and stood up, looking up to find Cheng Ke, but I found that the stairs were lively just now, but now there is suddenly no one!

"Huh?" I rubbed my eyes, I just fell down so hard, why are all people gone? The lightning wasn't so fast!

I hurriedly climbed up the stairs: "Cheng Ke! Cheng Ke! ”

But the stairs were empty......

I swallowed my saliva and felt cold behind my back, the stairs were only two floors, not too long, so I climbed up, but I found that the stairs were still stairs......

What's going on? I suppressed my violent heartbeat, turned around and ran down again, but there were only a dozen steps, and after a few more steps, I could reach the hall, but looking down, it seemed like a long end in sight!

Like ...... This step is as far as the eighteen layers of hell......

Completely blinded and can't get out of the stairs?

On both sides, there are still pictures of those smiling and crying, the carpet is still soft, and even the lights on the building are still bright, but I am the only one left......

The feeling of not being able to get out is the same as encountering a ghost hitting the wall!

I couldn't help it, I thought of the plot of a horror movie, two students in the middle of the night in order to test their courage, to count whether the steps of the stairs are twelve or the legendary thirteen floors, two people up and down, at the same time, one person, counted to the twelfth floor, to the end, and the other person, the voice kept coming: "Thirty-six...... XXXVII......" Until, I never heard that voice again......

When I watched that horror movie at the time, I felt that feeling was suffocating, but the urban horror legend of "extra steps" actually made me put myself in the shoes of the people!

Above, below, it was a dense, spiraling staircase, and I couldn't find the end......

By the way, isn't this the same as a ghost hitting the wall, a kind of ecstasy hallucination? Thinking of this, I immediately came to the spirit, the second grandfather said when chatting with me, when I met a ghost hitting the wall, just spit on the repeated place, and then swear a few words, I have to try!

Thinking of this, I followed the steps to the place where I was supposed to go downstairs, spat out a mouthful of saliva, crossed my waist, and scolded: "Turtle King Bastard, get out of the way!" ”

The staircase still stretches endlessly, with no end in sight......

I must have scolded not dirty enough, and then, I pointed to the corner and scolded: "It's cool to play people for a while, the whole family crematorium!" ”

When these words came out, I was a little weak-hearted, could I use this kind of trick, could it be the master who has never entered the crematorium! Who's afraid of this?

I was annoyed again, I was anxious, I couldn't scold for a while, I couldn't scold anymore, I was full of panic!

"Giggle......

At this time, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded behind me!

The hairs on my body stood on end!

When I looked back, I found that there was nothing around!

I remembered at once, the last time I was in the Black Bully Gang, it was like this, there was a voice, like a shadow next to me, but no one else could hear anything, and after that, I forgot everything like I had a dream......

It was that voice that told me that it was the mother of pearl that cured facial sores!

"Do you want to get out?"

That voice came into my ears very clearly, and I still had the same smile as last time!

By the way, Li Minglang, the fourth aunt, and the young man who sold eye milk tea all said that I have a spirit body that can't see the clues, is this thing!

It only appeared when I was alone, and when I was with Cheng Ke, I didn't make a sound at all!

Before I could figure out how to answer it, it continued, "I can take you out." ”

It was like a voice that flowed into my head, and I couldn't tell what it was, but I could clearly tell what it meant!

Should I answer? When I was a child, my grandmother told a scary ghost story, saying that when you are alone outside, you must not reply when you hear the voice calling you, if you agree, you will be used as a stand-in by a passing ghost, and you will be pulled to the back!

"Giggle......" The voice seemed to know exactly what I was talking about, and said, "I tell you, just do it, close your eyes, keep going down, don't touch anywhere, don't think about anything, just do it." ”

It's that simple?

But when I think about it, I didn't promise anything, and I did it, so I can't do anything with me, right? I've been running up and down this staircase many times, and all I have to do now is close my eyes.

I listened to it last time, and it's true, but this time, why don't you try it too?

"Giggle......" The laughter echoed in my ears again: "Try it!" ”

Gritting his teeth, he is already trapped here anyway, how bad can it be? Thinking of this, I closed my eyes and stepped on the steps.

One-step...... Two-step ...... Three-step ...... Four Steps...... There are no more steps under your feet!

"Master......" A voice rang out: "You walk the stairs with your eyes closed?" Awesome! ”

I opened my eyes, and the bean sprouts were standing in front of me, looking at me curiously!

Looking around, I realized that I had arrived in the hall!

The feeling of the rest of my life, like the opening of a dam, surged out all at once, and I was so happy that I couldn't wait to hug the bean sprouts!

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Bean Sprouts could see that my face was not quite right, and quickly asked, "I just went upstairs, why did I come down again after such a while, is there nothing wrong?" ”

I quickly shook my head, took a deep breath to calm myself, and then pointed to the position at the front desk and asked, "Where's Shirley?" ”

"Shirley?" Bean Sprouts scratched her head and said, "Didn't you see it? You just went upstairs, and she seemed to see something, and ran up in a hurry, I thought she was looking for you! ”

Shirley, it must have something to do with that weird thing that bows to the ground and counts in his mouth! But what does it matter...... Wait a minute, what is that weird thing counting? Could it be that I'm counting the stairs just now?

I had a chill in my back, didn't I, if I stayed in the stairs, sooner or later, I would have become that weird way?

"Master, you don't have a good face!" Bean Sprouts looked at me and turned around and brought me a glass of water: "Drink something!" ”

I thanked me and took the next sip of water, and the bean sprouts asked again, "Hey, didn't your boyfriend go up with you?" Why didn't I come down with you? ”

"No, we were separated just now......" I let out a sigh and said, "I should be coming back for me in a moment." ”

"Oh, that's good, don't say it, the master's boyfriend is a master at first glance, very powerful, and everything is the truth." The bean sprouts nodded, took the cup, turned around and put it in the closet: "It's good luck this time, it's just a coincidence that you came."

"That's it, what you said is too much of a prize," unconsciously, I was humble for Cheng Ke: "That is, you know a little bit......"

When the bean sprouts heard it, they laughed twice.

Wrong...... I suddenly remembered that when Cheng Ke went downstairs with me just now, for the taboo of not allowing outsiders to enter on the third floor, he should be invisible to prevent other people from seeing him, why did Xiaodong see it?

I was a little puzzled, the four walls of the beauty salon are shining mosaic walls, can clearly reflect the figure, I raised my head slightly, I saw the mosaic wall opposite me, reflected, Xiaodong behind me a pale face, suddenly showed a strange smile, the corners of the mouth are about to crack behind the ears, and then, he opened his mouth, about to bow his head at my head, to bite?

My body reacted faster than my brain, and I dodged as soon as I shrunk my neck, and at the same time, with a "clang" sound, right in my ears, I heard two rows of teeth colliding fiercely, like the sound of biting empty!

I turned my head and looked at Xiaodong in astonishment, Xiaodong still had a weird smile on his face, looked at me fixedly, shrunk his neck, and rushed over at me, opening his big mouth!
