Chapter 1: Tragedy
A pair of withered hands, exuding a cold aura, slowly climbed up Yu Youwei's neck.
Those hands seemed to come from hell, with cruelty and hatred, and insisted on taking all life away from her.
Yu Youwei couldn't see the owner of the hands, but she could feel that the flesh of the hands had rotted, revealing bones, and she could even smell the smell of rotting flesh.
She could hear the cacophony of her colleagues returning from lunch ready to get to work, the sound of papers being passed over her head, the sound of printer paper shaking, and her rumbling heartbeat. At this time, she seems to be connected to the world, but she doesn't, she can hear the outside world, but no one knows her struggle.
Yu Youwei tried to swear like the previous times, but this time, the evil hands were not scolded back by her, and they were still wrapped around her neck.
She tried to sit up, but her hands became tighter and tighter, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free, as if she was deliberately torturing her, little by little, until she was about to lose her breath.
Yu Youwei was ruthless in her heart, biting her tongue fiercely, the pain at the tip of her tongue and the smell of blood filling her mouth made her instantly have a strength and break free from those hands. The hands wanted to reach over again, but Yu Youwei had quickly opened his eyes and sat up.
Look at the wall clock on the wall: 12:52.
It was supposed to be the most sunny moment of the day, but Yu Youwei, a reporter from Jiangbei Newspaper in H City, was out of breath and broke free from the nightmare.
This is probably the fourth or fifth time in the last time, Yu Youwei's brain is still a little dizzy, and the rough and cold touch of her hands is still on her skin, it is so real, so real that she can't tell if this is a nightmare or if something really has found her.
It stands to reason that Yu Youwei's profession is not superstitious, she is a reporter in the supernatural section of the newspaper, in short, she is making up stories, looking for some materials that can be processed into supernatural events, and editing the draft.
In her opinion, all the supernatural events in the world are made up by people like her, but since she started to follow up on a tragedy, she often has some strange nightmares, and the guys in the dreams are getting more and more difficult every time, which is quite a bit of an escalation of difficulty.
The case of destroying the door is the most widely spread and hottest case in recent times.
The suspect's name is Xu Bo, male, 37 years old, who runs a garment factory with his wife, and has a 5-year-old dragon and phoenix fetal daughter. According to the surrounding neighbors and friends, Xu Bo and his wife have a bad relationship, Xu Bo is from a rural family, his wife married him after graduating from college, the family's house, car, and business investment are all provided by his wife's family, and Xu Bo also has to support his mother who stays in the countryside, his wife is very dissatisfied with this, and will even fight Xu Bo in public, Xu Bo always does not say a word about this, and bears it silently, so the impression of the people around him is silent and honest, cautious.
A month ago, in a quarrel, Xu Bo threw a pair of children from the balcony on the 18th floor of his house, the two children died on the spot, and his wife fainted, and Xu Bo cut open the chest cavity with a boning knife and took out the heart.
Yu Youwei looked at the photos of the scene, Xu Bo's blood-red eyes were full of nervousness and excitement, and his face was full of blood, as if he was a demon from another world. When the police made the arrest, he laughed wildly, reportedly scaring a crowd of onlookers at the scene into a heart attack, and the neighbor who was opposite the door was so frightened that he moved overnight.
This case is not complicated, the facts are clear, and the evidence is conclusive, but because it is really contrary to human ethics, public opinion has been fermenting on the Internet for a long time, and it has attracted the attention of many people. Many media reported on this case from multiple angles, and Yu Youwei, who has a sensitive sense of smell, naturally followed up as soon as possible.
And when she encountered strange things, it began on the night of her meeting with Xu Bo.
So far, it has only been a week, that is to say, almost every day Yu Youwei is tormented by nightmares, she rubbed her temples and looked at Liang Yuan beside her.
Feeling Yu Youwei's gaze, Liang Yuan raised his head and winked at her shyly.
Yu You rolled her eyes helplessly, Liang Yuan is her partner, everything is good, but her brain is not very good. She could only get up and knock on Liang Yuan's table, "Did we make an appointment to meet Xu Bo in the afternoon?" ”
"yes, didn't you see that I was just hinting that you were ready to go?"
“??” Yu You's eyes rolled to the back of her head, she really couldn't understand it, Liang Yuan gave him a new definition every time he squeezed his eyebrows, and an expression can extend countless meanings, which can be described as everything in a lifetime.
Sitting in the detention center, Yu Youwei was a little nervous, she firmly believed that the recent things were due to Xu Bo's psychological hints, and now she is inevitably a little resistant to seeing the source of the nightmare.
I haven't seen him for three days, Xu Bo has become thinner, Yu Youwei never knew that a person could lose so much weight in such a short period of time. When I first met Xu Bo, he was still a middle-aged man who was a little blessed, and when I saw it today, it was as dry as a tree trunk that had gone through several harsh winters in a row, as if the water in his whole body had been drained, and the eyes that stood out were even more terrifying.
Xu Bo still hung his head like every time they met, only raised his eyes to stare at her, with an unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth. Yu You clenched the pen in his hand slightly, took a few deep breaths as quietly as possible, and prepared to ask Xu Bo a question.
Suddenly, Xu Bo stood up suddenly, leaned in front of Yu Youwei, and said in a voice that only she could hear, "The next one is you." After being pulled away by the nursing police, Xu Bo had a hideous face, laughed ruthlessly and madly, and shouted at Yu Youwei: "Remember what I said!" ”
Liang Yuan protected Yu Youwei and looked at the crazy Xu Bo, "Is he too stimulated and schizophrenic?" Every time it's getting crazier and crazier. ”
Yu Youwei wanted to know more than he wanted to know what was going on, even if she was mentally prepared, she was scared by Xu Bo just now. The pain in her hand made her wake up, but when she raised her hand, she found that Xu Bo was too nervous when she approached her just now, and the tip of the ballpoint pen poked into the palm of her hand.
"Oops, why are you hurt, I'll take you to deal with it." The sharp-eyed Liang Yuan saw Yu Youwei staring at the palm of his hand, found that she was injured, and hurriedly pulled her away.
"It's not a big wound, I'll go home and deal with it myself, I have a first aid kit at home." Yu Youwei had already observed, the ballpoint pen poked it diagonally, although the wound was a little long, it was not deep, just simply disinfect and paste a band-aid, "Since it's all out, let's get off work." ”
Hearing that he was off work and seeing that Yu You's slight injury was not serious, Liang Yuan said goodbye to her happily.
Although Liang Yuan just said it casually, Yu Youwei agreed that Xu Bo's state was indeed very similar to schizophrenia, or maybe this was a means for him to pretend to escape the death penalty? Just as he was thinking, there was a knock at the door.
Yu Youwei has just moved into a new home, has recently bought a lot of things, and has to collect several couriers every day, usually when he hears a knock on the door, he opens the door directly, but today he somehow feels that the knock is inexplicably terrifying.
She carefully put her eyes on the door mirror, and the person at the door turned out to be Xu Bo!
His face was covered in blood, and he grinned, showing his white teeth, as if he wanted to say something. Yu Youwei covered his mouth tightly with both hands, controlling his urge to scream, and in the next second, Xu Bo picked up a bloody heart and bit it hard.
"Ah——!h Yu You sat up from the bed abruptly, gasping for air. She looked around in horror, and it turned out that she had fallen asleep on the bed while she was tending to her wounds.
Yu Youwei has never been a person who retreats when she encounters difficulties, and the continuous nightmares make her very tired, and she decides to have some fun with herself by shaking off her hands that are numb when she sleeps. But she bought this small house and spent all her savings since college, and she could only be poor and happy.
After rummaging through her phone and not finding any suitable entertainment, she decided to ask Liang Yuan, a jack of all trades, "Is there anything that doesn't cost money, and is there a place to eat and drink?" ”
"You're asking the right person." Liang Yuan is a senior expert on how to save money, "I'm working on this, wait a minute, I'll send you your website, register a member, and you can get a first-class waiting room experience coupon from Airline A, you can go in without a ticket, unlimited coffee and snacks, and massage chairs, and you only need to spend a few dollars to take the bus to the airport." ”
This idea is very good, simply bring some headphones or something, change into a comfortable sweatshirt and sweatpants, Yu Youwei set off for the airport.
Paralyzed on the massage sofa and looking around, Yu You thought slightly: "People say that fools will eventually get their thoughts, and Liang Yuan's idea is really good." ”
In front of him was an unlimited supply of snacks and hot coffee, and the sweetness of the food and the comfort of the massage chair hit Yu Youwei's comfort zone fiercely. The flow of people at the airport today is not very large, maybe she is the only one here all night, and there are 24-hour uninterrupted staff outside to give a sense of security, and Yu Youwei, who is full of food and drink, is satisfied to find a comfortable sofa and sleep.
I don't know how long it has been, Yu Youwei felt a few people around him, they walked around him, and they refused to leave. She opened her eyes suddenly, it was Xu Bo's wife holding a son and a daughter, Yu Youwei had seen their photos when she was studying Xu Bo's case, but now they obviously maintained the same appearance before they died, with blood and tears in their eyes, but they were smiling on their lips.
"You're next." Xu Bo's wife smiled and leaned back, and Yu You could clearly see her dissected chest.
"You're next." Xu Bo's childish voices are like a duet, and the children's voices that should be pleasant are as harsh as magic at the moment.
Yu You wanted to escape, but she soon found that the door of the waiting room was gone, and the place where it should have been the entrance was now only a white wall.
"This good woman ......" A clear voice, with seven points of hesitation and three points of hesitation, came into Yu Youwei's ears.
"Who is it?" Yu You turned his head slightly in a panic.
A little Taoist, alive, a little Taoist.
