Chapter 14: The Message Left by the Dead
Grey Thief smiled and said, "I tasted it when the food came up just now, and it tasted pretty good. ”
I also smelled the smell of the food and was hungry.
Three dishes and one soup were dried up like leaves swept away by our strong wind.
Filled my stomach and felt much better.
After eating and drinking, I told Gray about the apparition I had just seen in the bathroom.
At this time, I especially need someone to help me analyze it.
"His grandmother has a leg, that old thing won't get around you. ”
Gray cursed angrily.
There were other people in the cafeteria, and Gray was a little louder when he was excited, and everyone else looked over to us.
"This is not the place to talk, go back and talk!"
I walked out of the small restaurant.
There are not many pedestrians on the street outside, and there are mostly office units around the police station, and there are more people during the day, but there are not many people on the street at night.
We walked under the street lamps, orange street lamps silently illuminating the empty streets, the light passing through the gaps in the leaves, leaving dappled shadows on the ground.
A night breeze blew, and the leaves gently swayed and rustled.
If it were normal, I don't think it's anything.
Today, however, I feel a little scary, always feeling that there is something evil lurking in the shadows on the side of the road, ready to rush out and devour people.
"Dude, are you alright?"
Gray noticed that my reaction was a little unusual.
"I may have fallen into evil!"
This time it felt different from the last time, but this time it was even more dangerous.
"Didn't the old god stick give you a talisman, it should be useful. ”
I took out the yellow charm and looked at it, and there was no change.
I carefully put away the rune paper and the money of disgust.
This is much better than the last time, the situation was even more dangerous last time, we didn't understand anything, we didn't have any magic weapons in our hands, and we survived.
"Maybe it's just that your spirit is too nervous, and I can't stand seeing the corpses that have been corrupted to the level of giants. ”
Gray tried to comfort me.
"Keep walking!"
The streets are really empty, and it is difficult to feel at ease.
The two of us quickened our pace and walked back, and the small restaurant was not very far from the police station, that is, ten minutes away.
We picked up the pace.
After a few minutes of walking, I slowed down.
Every time I pass by a street lamp, I shudder, and my heart beats inexplicably, as if there is something I don't want to be illuminated by the street lamp.
There was a street lamp in front of us, and I stopped.
"Why don't you leave?"
Gray asked.
I didn't know how to explain it, but I walked under the street lamp step by step, my eyes staring warily, and I didn't know what I was looking for.
Gray stepped aside, staring around, and I walked under the street lamp and looked at my shadow, nothing out of the ordinary.
I thought of what I saw in the mirror, looking at myself, and there was nothing.
"Do you see something on my back?"
I turned around and let Gray look at my back.
"Nothing! What the hell is going on?"
Gray said in surprise.
"Then it'll be fine, let's go back to the dormitory!"
Shadows don't seem to work, and if the real thing behind me is really visible, it can only be seen in the mirror.
Walking back to the entrance of the police station, there were no street lights.
The silver moonlight shone from behind, stretching our shadows for a long time.
I stared at my own shadow, and after a few seconds, I realized that there were only two of us, and the shadow on the ground had three heads!
Instantly, a cold air enveloped us, and I gently touched the fat man and whispered, "Look at our shadow!"
"What's so nice about shadows. ”
Gray didn't notice anything was wrong.
"See for yourself......"
Before I could finish my sentence, I saw that the head of the shadow on the ground was gone.
The other party doesn't seem to want a third person to see it.
Gray was still waiting for me to say the second half of the sentence, seeing that I was not talking, he looked around blankly and asked, "What are you asking me to see?"
"It's okay, you go back first, I want to be alone for a while. ”
It's still early, and I'm going to test it again.
"Be careful, then. ”
Gray was a little uneasy, but seeing that I was insisting, he went back to the dormitory alone.
There is an open space in front of the police office building, which is usually a parking lot, and there are only three or four police cars at night, and there are no street lights around.
The plain white moonlight illuminates the surroundings.
I walked to the middle of the room, bathed in the moonlight, and let my spirit relax.
He slowly closed his eyes and said softly: "Xie Ping'an, I know you are around, now I am alone, you can come." ”
It was quiet, and you could hear the rustle of the leaves of the night wind, the chirping of summer insects, and the sound of my accelerating heartbeat.
I just stared in silence, a minute passed, and nothing happened.
My breathing became a little heavy, and it felt like at least five minutes had passed and nothing had happened.
"Aren't you coming? Then I'm leaving?"
The last time I tried to communicate with Xie Ping'an, it was still useless.
I waited patiently for a while, nothing happened, and I slowly opened my eyes.
In the moonlight, my shadow was unusual, and the surroundings were peaceful.
It seems that my plan failed, and Xie Ping'an's unjust soul did not come to me.
As I walked back, I wondered, what went wrong?
I thought about the case from beginning to end on the road, and I was not spared in every detail.
As I reflected on my experience last night, I paused.
If I'm not mistaken, the old god tried to summon the spirits of the two dead thieves, but was unsuccessful because their spirits were gone, and they disappeared when they died.
If that's the case, Xie Ping'an's soul, which had the same cause of death, should have disappeared.
So the question is, it's not Xie Ping'an's soul, what has been haunting me?
A gust of wind blew, and I shivered, and when I looked around, I could only see the near scene, and the shadows were far away, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
I couldn't stay outside any longer, so I hurried back to my dorm.
Tonight was unusual, even the hallway was quiet, I stomped my foot, and the lights in the hallway were not on.
The moonlight shone in through the window, casting a light veil over the corridor, giving it an air of mystery.
There are not many people living in single dormitories, and when you walk in the corridor, you can hear your own footsteps.
Da ...... Da ...... Da ...... The sound is always around you, and I find the footsteps a little strange.
Got it up to speed.
When I got to the first floor of the dormitory, I slowed down, counted silently in my heart, walked three steps, and heard three footsteps.
Just as I was about to take the fourth step, a strange thought came from the darkness behind me.
Da ...... One more footstep, and I must have something in the dark following me.
I turned around, my eyes widening, and the darkness in the distance seemed to be thicker, and I could only see a black patch.
Just as I was hesitating to catch up, there was a creak behind me, and the door opened!
Gray poked his head out and asked, "Listen to the footsteps and know it's you, what are you doing standing at the door, come in!"
I took a big stride into the dormitory, closed it, made a silent motion, and pressed my ear to the door.
It was quiet, very quiet, outside, and I listened for a few minutes, and there was no movement.
When I turned around, Gray asked, "What are you listening to?"
"I'm not sure, as if there's something following me. ”
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
As soon as I said that, Gray smashed back in the room looking for a good guy.
"No need to look for it, if it does find me, we can't stop it. And I don't think it necessarily wants to come in. ”
And that really made me right, we waited in the dorm room for more than an hour and nothing happened.
Gray couldn't bear it a few times, and opened the door to look out.
Nothing but darkness.
Gray lost his patience after a while and fell asleep in bed.
I hate the feeling of waiting, things are out of control, out of control.
It was almost twelve o'clock, and Gray was about to fall asleep.
After twelve o'clock, it was the most dangerous time, and I held the money in one hand and the yellow charm given to me by the old god stick in the other.
I held my phone and watched the autopsy go by minute by minute, the phone screen showed a zero worn, and a new day began.
Everything is calm, still calm.
The curtains shook slightly, the moonlight slipped in through the cracks in the windows, the room flickered in and out, and the sleepiness that had been a little there was just now was gone.
After waiting for a while, still nothing happened, my spirit gradually relaxed, and I was dazzled by staring at the door, and still nothing happened.
Not even the cold aura that the Yin Spirit had before it appeared.
Another hour passed, and I was sleepy again, slowly closing my eyes and falling asleep.
Everything was beyond my expectations, I slept well, I didn't have nightmares, I woke up it was already dawn, I felt better, and I was full of energy.
I sat up and stretched, Gray still asleep.
I took out my phone and looked at the time, and the next morning at half past seven, I was almost at work.
"Get up!"
I let out a loud scream.
Gray stretched and said, "I slept so well!"
He quickly realized a problem, immediately rolled over and sat up and said, "Why did I fall asleep, was it okay last night!"
"Do you look like something is happening to me?"
I jumped out of bed and moved my joints a few times.
Gray said in one breath: "It's okay." But how do I smell blood?"
"How could there be a smell of blood in the dormitory. ”
I laughed twice and stopped laughing, because I also smelled blood.
A quick look around the world shows nothing suspicious.
I looked up and saw a line of blood on the roof.
"Go and save my wife!"
Look at this tone as if it was left by Xie Ping'an, this is the message given to us by the dead man
