Chapter 1: Yin and Yang (1)

It's night, and the estimated time is around eight o'clock, so if you want to know the specific time, just turn on your office computer and glance at the time displayed in the lower right corner of the screen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But Shen Jun didn't turn it on. Because time has no meaning to him.

He's dead. Now he is just a ghost.

To put it more colloquially and scariably, he is a ghost.

How he died, he didn't know.

He only knew that he was alone before seven o'clock last night.

His hometown is in the countryside of Zhongxian County, Chongqing, in addition to his grandmother, father, and mother, he originally had an older sister who was two years older than him, but his sister died in a car accident when he was in the third grade of primary school. Therefore, he became an "only child", and naturally became the biggest, if not the only hope, of the whole family.

He is also very competitive, studies very hard, from primary school to junior high school graduation, almost always at the top, after going to high school, although his grades have declined, but still in the upper middle level, and successfully admitted to a key university in Zhejiang Province. After graduating from university last year, I successfully entered a large company and became an ordinary office worker.

In short, his life has been relatively smooth.

After joining the work, he still performs well and has a good relationship with his colleagues. Yesterday morning, a middle-aged female colleague named Zhu Xu took the initiative to find him and said that she wanted to introduce him to a girlfriend. After listening to some of the girl's conditions, although he was not very satisfied, he heard that she looked very beautiful, so he agreed to meet once.

After work yesterday afternoon, instead of having dinner in the company's cafeteria as usual, he went straight back to his rental house. took a bath first, then dressed up very seriously, and waited until after a quarter past six in the evening before he went out and went to Zhu Xu's house for dinner. Of course, the drunkard's intention is not to drink, and eating dinner is only the surface content, the real purpose is that a young man and a woman will meet at the dinner table.

He didn't see the girl. Because he didn't go into Zhu Xu's house at all, let alone have dinner at her house.

He couldn't remember what had happened on the road since he left his rental house!

All he knew was that he had slept inexplicably, and when he woke up, he found himself lying in a deep wood!

What's even stranger is that I didn't wear anything on my body except for a pair of underwear!

It was completely dark, and there was silence all around, and there was neither a figure nor a human voice.

Where is this? How did he sleep in such a place? Although his mind was full of doubts, he had no time to think about it, and immediately got up from the grass and looked around for clothes.

But because the light in the forest was very dark, and he didn't smoke, he didn't have a lighter with him, so he couldn't light it.

"Am I being robbed?" Although he was a man, he was still terrified when he encountered such a bizarre thing, alone in a terrifying, silent forest, and did not know where he was.

Unable to find clothes, he did not dare to stay longer, so he groped his way out of the woods.

When he reached the outside of the forest, he realized that the forest was on the side of a road. There were no cars on the road, no lights could be seen, and he was a foreigner, so he couldn't tell what it was. It's just that it's estimated to be in the middle of nowhere.

He didn't know which direction to run away, and suddenly saw a small car coming from the right, although his appearance was really insulting, but at this time he couldn't care much about it, and stood behind a big tree on the side of the road, blocked his body, only showing his head and hands, and looked at the car nervously and expectantly.

After a while, the car drove over, and he didn't care whether there was a woman in the car, hurriedly waved his hand to stop the car, and shouted for help.

The car stopped, and he was about to grab it, but the car sped away as if it were running away!

He was so angry and anxious that he had to wait for the next car, but his luck was so bad that although he waited for a few more cars, they either ignored them or stopped, and before he could get into the car, he flew away like the first car.

He felt very strange, he didn't understand whether the current people were too indifferent, or if he was really a bit shocking like this, anyway, he learned to be obedient, and moved a few big rocks to the middle of the road, forcing the other party to stop.

Sure enough, a minivan was stopped by a roadblock.

But the driver who got out of the car was not a man, but a middle-aged woman in her forties. What's even more coincidental is that I still know each other!

In fact, I can't talk about acquaintance, it's just familiar. This woman is in the lamp business, and her store is halfway to work, and he has to pass by her store every day on his way to and from work, but he has never bought anything in her store.

He took advantage of the opportunity for the other party to get out of the car to move stones, and quietly climbed into the back compartment of the truck and hid. The car was loaded with three large cardboard boxes and more than 20 small cardboard boxes, which were estimated to be filled with some lamps and other goods. Although there is not much space left in the cargo box, it is still no problem to hide a person.

He heard the female driver scolding while carrying stones, although the scolding was very ugly, but he knew that he was wrong, and he didn't dare to talk back, just covered his ears, and didn't hear it.

After the female driver finished moving the stones, she drove on the road again. Half an hour later, the car drove into the city. After another twenty minutes of driving, it finally stopped.

He peeked out of the car and saw it parked in front of her shop. There were few pedestrians to be seen on the street, and there were few passing cars, so it seemed to be late at night.

He was unsure whether to ask for help finding a piece of clothing or calling the police, when the middle-aged woman had already gotten out of the car, opened the store with the key, and walked to the back of the car to drop off the goods.

Although there were no pedestrians on the street, he still felt very embarrassed and was at a loss for what to do, and something strange happened: the female driver saw him, but she didn't react at all, as if she couldn't see him at all, and carried the box by herself.

He was stunned, not understanding why the other party was blind to him.

But then something even stranger happened, the female driver's hand actually passed through his body and carried a cardboard box behind him directly out of the car, without going around his body!

What the hell is going on? Could it be that after a good night's sleep, I suddenly learned stealth?

He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, thinking, "Is it my problem, or is she the problem?" At this time, he was already a little bolder, so he deliberately patted the carriage with his hand, making a clanging sound.

The female driver reacted, and as if frightened, she threw the small cardboard box she was holding to the ground.

After a short pause, she had the courage to walk back to the back of the car and look into the car in surprise.

He also looked into the other's eyes in amazement to see if there was something wrong with her.

But the female driver's eyes never met his, looked at the carriage strangely for a while, and finally muttered: "Strange thing, is there a ghost?"

He shook his whole body, "God, have I become a ghost......?" Why did I sleep in that woods? Am I already dead?"

But how did you die?

Because he was so shocked, he forgot his fear, and asked, "You...... You really can't see me?"

The female driver was suspicious, and suddenly heard the ghost talking to herself, and she was even more frightened, screaming, and even the store door was closed, so she desperately fled to the street in front!

Seeing the frightened appearance of the other party, Shen Jun no longer had any doubts in his heart. "Oh my God, I've really become a ghost! What happened? How the hell did I die?"

was in a daze, suddenly heard the noise of several people in the distance, followed the sound, only to see the traffic light in front, four or five men were surrounding the female driver just now to ask, one of them was a traffic policeman. The men listened to the woman and looked suspiciously at the car.

After a while, the men slowly walked towards the car. Although the female driver was shocked, after all, the door of the store was not closed, so she couldn't rest assured, and when she saw a few men driving the way in front, she also mustered up the courage to follow behind. Although Shen Jun was a little weak-hearted, he didn't run away, and he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart that others would be able to see him. I didn't die, and I'm not a ghost!

But his illusions were shattered again, and after several men gathered around the truck, although they all had the courage to go to the side of the carriage and peek inside, they couldn't see Shen Jun.

The woman nervously watched the men's movements as she pulled out the key and scrambled to close the storefront's roller shutter.

"There's nothing in there, did you hear me wrong?" said a man.

"Hehe, what the hell is there in this world, what you said just now is decent, and it scares me!" The traffic policeman also breathed a sigh of relief, with a wry smile on his face.

When these people surrounded him just now, Shen Jun was looking forward to it and nervous in his heart, and now listening to these people say some gloating "cool words", a strange anger arose in his heart, and he really wanted to raise his right palm and slap it against the wall of the carriage, scaring these nasty guys to the point of urine.

But he still held himself back, sat silently for a while, and then jumped out of the car and left silently.

After realizing that he had indeed become a ghost, his heart was empty, and he wanted to cry without tears. Because you know that others can't see you, you walk on the sidewalk unscrupulously at the moment!

It was early in the morning, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, and the shop was not far from his rented place, so there was no one on the road.

When he walked to the alley in front of his residence, he met a young couple who were sitting in the dark and kissing, although he knew that the other party could not see him, but after all, he was a scholar, and he still knew in his heart that etiquette and honesty were shameful, so he tried to pass through the blind corner where the street lamp could not illuminate.

The house he rented was a small private western-style building with five floors and one bottom, and the aisles were so narrow that it was too cramped for a person to walk. There is only one household living on each floor, and each floor is a one-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen and one-bathroom layout. When he walked to the third floor of his rented house in despair, he remembered that not only was his clothes gone, but he also lost his keys.

"Did I forget to close the door, or did a thief enter the house?" he paused for a moment before he emboldened himself to walk to the door and peek in.

The house was darkly lit and silent.

"Maybe I was in a hurry to go to Mr. Zhu's house for dinner just now, and I forgot to close the door!" he exhaled lightly, walked inside the door, and turned on the light.

Just as he was about to close the door, a terrifying picture suddenly came to mind, he remembered that he had watched a ghost movie before, when the female ghost walked to a certain door, without the key, the door would open for her silently and automatically!

Could it be that the door of the house was opened silently for himself because he was a ghost?

Although he is a ghost, he has not yet psychologically adapted to and accepted this terrible fact, and he is still afraid of ghosts!

He stood by the door in a daze for a while, and suddenly had a thought, why not go to the door of someone else's house and try it, and see if the door of someone else's house will open for him!

So he boldly went upstairs to the door of the house on the fourth floor.

But the door didn't open automatically for him.

"The door opens automatically, those are just horror movie plots, how can they be taken seriously!" He didn't dare to think much about ghost movies, and went downstairs and into his house. He found clean clothes and pants from the simple cloth closet and put them on, then went back to the living room and sat down on the broken sofa that the landlord had given him.

"How the hell did I die?" he "calmed down" and began to think carefully about the wonders of the evening. After thinking about it for a long time, he came to a conclusion: he probably suffered a car accident after going out, and because it happened so suddenly, he died before he could react. In order to cover up his crime, the driver quickly carried his body to the car or put it in the trunk of the car, and then drove the car out of the city and buried his body in the large woods on the side of the road.

If this is the case, then it is likely that he was on the back of the alley (from his rented place to Zhu Xu's house, take the back road closer), that section of the road is part of the highway from Hangzhou to Z County, the geographical location is relatively remote, about five minutes away, and there is no one along the way.

In retrospect, he now saw that his memory had indeed been interrupted along that journey.

He made two decisions: to go to that section of the road to check for blood or other signs of a traffic accident, and to return to the woods to find his body.

Although I wanted to confirm my suspicions immediately, it was too late, there was no flashlight, and there was a sense of fear in my heart, so I decided to wait until after dawn tomorrow to do these two things.

"No matter how much price and hard work you pay, you must find the murderer and let him pay for his life!"

He thought about it angrily and sadly for a while, and then he began to think about something else. Thinking of his relatives in his hometown, his parents and grandmother who had lost their children and had no support, he was overwhelmed with grief and cried loudly.

After he cried once, the suppressed emotions in his heart were vented, and his emotions settled down a little.

After being in a daze for a long time, he suddenly thought again: "I died suddenly, Teacher Zhu must not know yet." In order to introduce me to my girlfriend, she took a leave of absence this afternoon to cook for us at home, and the girl must have gone as promised, but I missed the appointment, and Teacher Zhu and the girl must be embarrassed to come......"

Thinking of my rude no-show, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty. But then he thought: "Everyone is dead, no matter what others think, Mr. Zhu will soon know the news of my 'disappearance' or death, so he will naturally be able to understand it, and he will definitely explain it to that girl." ”

I thought again: "Alas, Teacher Zhu is really troublesome, if she hadn't introduced me to some girlfriend, I would definitely have dinner in the company's cafeteria, and I would definitely not die!" Thinking that Teacher Zhu Xu and the girl who had not yet met could be said to be the murderer who killed him in disguise, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful, and at the same time regretted very much that he shouldn't agree to meet.

He sat in a state of confusion until three o'clock in the morning, and at last he was a little sleepy, and without turning off the light in the living room, he went into the bedroom and slept with his clothes.

The next day, he had planned to go to inspect the signs of a traffic accident and to look for his body in the woods, but when he got downstairs, his skin was burning like a fire, and he was so startled that he hurried back into the shadows where the sun could not reach.

"God, the ghost can't see the light! Then I can only go out of this alley at night in the future?"

Watching some people completely ignore his existence, as if showing off something, walking into the sunshine and out of the alley, his heart seems to have overturned the five-flavor bottle, not the taste.

He stood quietly in the darkness for a while, and then he dared to go into the sunlight several times, but each time it was the same, and as soon as the sun hit it, his skin burned like fire.

Thinking that he would never see the light of day, he couldn't help but cry again.

On this day, he stayed bored in his rented house like a prisoner. I don't have the internet, I don't have TV to watch, and I don't even have books to read. I also lost my phone, and I can't call and chat with people when I'm bored like before. Eating wasn't a problem, though, because he didn't know he was hungry. As for whether the ghost wants to eat or not, he doesn't know.

It was finally at night that he could finally go out.

Because he lost his wallet, he couldn't buy a flashlight - even if he had money, he couldn't buy it, because people couldn't see him.

Without a flashlight, he couldn't go to check on those two scenes, and he didn't have the courage to do so. Like a wandering spirit, he wandered the streets for a while before returning to the company.

His colleagues had already left work, and he took the elevator to his office door on the nineteenth floor, and the door opened silently, just like in a ghost movie.

"Why didn't the door open on the other side yesterday?"

He was puzzled, so he could only guess randomly: "Maybe only the place he has entered before can be opened automatically, right?"

He walked into the office, turned on the lights, closed the door, and sat down at the window, bored looking downstairs at the streetscape.
