For a while, my hairs stood up, and a lot of cold sweat oozed from my forehead.

When I came, I carefully observed the courtyard of the library, and it was completely empty, so where did this footsteps come from, could it be that there is something unclean in this world?

In a panic, I raised my flashlight and went upstairs and downstairs, but there were stairs as far as I could see, and I didn't see half a figure.

It's a bit weird, I heard footsteps, and since there was no one in the stairwell, where did the footsteps come from?

I stood still and swallowed, trying to calm my nerves.

After about two minutes I checked the stairwell again, and although I still didn't see anyone this time, my mind was as uncomfortable as if I had eaten a fly.

Just when I was a little overwhelmed, I suddenly remembered a short video I had watched.

The video shows only an empty and dilapidated hallway, flanked by closed wooden doors, and the end of the hallway is extremely dark.

Normal people will be discouraged when they see this corridor, for fear that something will appear at the wooden doors on both sides or at the end.

However, the essence of this short video is not in the video but in the soundtrack, and the background music is not horror music, but the sound of the trumpet.

As soon as the horn sounded, the dusty blood seemed to wake up, and the blood boiled for a while, even if there was something unclean, I couldn't wait to pull it out and kick it a few times.

Thinking of this, I immediately took out the spare device from my backpack, stuffed the Bluetooth headphones into my ears, and then opened the music software.

With the sound of the loud and passionate trumpet, I felt like a soldier rushing into battle for a moment.

The original fear was dispelled by the sound of the horn, and it is no exaggeration to say that the sound of the bugle is several times more effective than spirits.

Listening to the sound of the trumpet, I took three steps and two steps up the stairs, and in a few seconds I came to the door of the reading room on the third floor.

Looking at the door, the door of the reading room was open at this time, and the cold moonlight spilled on the ground through the broken window, and the white curtain on one side of the window was raised in the wind, and the whole scene gave people a bleak and eerie feeling.

On closer inspection, the structure of the reading room on the third floor is almost the same as that of the first floor, except that a box of 30 centimeters square and about 10 centimeters high is placed on the top of the seventh row of wooden tables.

This box is abruptly placed in the reading room, and it must be something that Shenhao has hidden here.

Now I see the box more dearly than my parents, because getting the box means that I have completed half of the task, and the remaining half only needs to carry the contents of the box with me for three days.

Judging from the volume of the box, the things inside are not too big, and it shouldn't be very heavy, and it doesn't matter if there is an iron lump inside, it's a big deal that I will stay at home for three days and not go out, anyway, it doesn't violate the rules, and tourists and Shenhao can't find anything wrong.

I glanced around the box, saw that there was no anomaly, and walked over to it.

As I walked, I took a closer look at the box on the wooden table by the light of a flashlight, which was similar to the box I received from shopping in the mall.

It is navy blue and has no pattern or logo, except for a red bow on the outside of the box.

Seeing this, my hanging heart finally fell to the ground, but I didn't expect this Shenhao to be quite romantic, and he actually put a bow on the outside of this box.

The delicate bow made me suspect that Shenhao was not a man, maybe he was a rich woman with a good heart.

She must have been attracted by the humor of my live broadcast, so she took this opportunity to get close to me, and inside this dark blue box was actually a gift from her.

Just as I was falling into a beautiful fantasy, I reached for the box, but the moment my finger touched the box, I suddenly heard the sound of electricity in my ears.

For a moment, my brain tingled as if it had been electrified, and my mind was pulled from fantasy to reality.

I hurriedly ripped off the Bluetooth headset, and just wanted to take out the spare machine to see if it was strung to another radio station.

But before I could reach into my backpack, the sound of dull footsteps could be heard again in the dead silence of the reading room.

And this time, the footsteps became clearer and clearer, as if they were not far behind me.

"Step on ...... Trample...... Step ......"

Every sound of footsteps tugged at my nerves, and my heart beat faster and faster in extreme panic.

My throat was getting more and more thirsty, my whole body was hot, and I could even feel my body trembling slightly.

People in situations of extraordinary panic have the illusion that they are unable to dominate their bodies.

Now I was in such a predicament, I wanted to turn around and see who was behind me, but my legs were like lead at this time, and I couldn't move at all.

I could only stand still, listening to the sound of footsteps in my ears.

After about three or five seconds, the footsteps suddenly fell silent, but I knew that the owner of the footsteps was not walking at all, but was standing behind me, because I could clearly feel that someone was blowing the wind behind me!

The wind was bitterly cold, and it poured down my neck and made me shudder.

I suddenly felt as if my body could move, and I was about to turn around when a palm rested on my shoulder.

Before I could turn around, a hoarse old voice sounded from behind me: "Young man, what are you doing in the library in the middle of the night, this place has been abandoned for several years." ”

I immediately turned my head away, and then raised my flashlight to shine on the person behind me.

Behind me stood an old man in his seventies, dressed in a black shirt and with a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet.

His head was full of gray hair, his face was full of wrinkles, his skin was like withered bark, and his eyes were cloudy, one of which was white, and he seemed to be unable to see clearly.

After seeing that the old man in front of me was a panting living person, I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and my fear suddenly turned into indignation, and I widened my eyes and said angrily: "Old man, people are scared to death!" Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night and come to the library with me? ”

The old man looked me up and down, and asked, "I also want to ask you what you are doing here, I am the doorman here, just now when I was sleeping, I heard a sound at the courtyard door, and when I went out, I found a figure entering the library, and then I followed in, saying, what are you trying to steal here, if you don't make it clear, I will call the police to arrest you now!" ”

As soon as I heard that this old man was a doorman, my original arrogance suddenly ceased to exist, this matter was originally my fault, although the library was deserted, but it was also public property, and it was indeed a little inappropriate to sneak in in the middle of the night.

I scratched my head embarrassedly and looked at the old man and said with a smile: "Uncle, I didn't do it right, I didn't know that this book has been abandoned for so many years and is guarded by the doorman, if you know, I will definitely say hello to you, I can't hide it, it's my birthday after twelve o'clock, I have a buddy who made a joke with me and hid the birthday gift given to me in this reading room, so I took advantage of the twelve o'clock to get the gift back." ”

As I spoke, I raised my hand and pointed to the navy blue box behind me, the old man glanced sideways, and said in a deep voice: "This box really doesn't belong here, since it's a misunderstanding, then you should leave quickly, don't come in and wander around in the future." ”

Seeing that the old man was relieved, I wanted to take out a box of cigarettes from my pocket to make amends, but I couldn't find a single cigarette in my pocket, so I had no choice but to give the old man half a bottle of liquor.

Anyway, people of his age have long lived through life, and they don't care if it's a whole bottle.

"Uncle, there's something I don't understand, you just said that you heard a sound at the courtyard door, where do you live? I looked at the darkness inside the guard's room, and it didn't look like it could be inhabited. I looked at the old man and asked, a little puzzled.

"You didn't turn on the lights to see, in fact, the inside is quite clean, and it's good that my old bones are used, why bother picking and choosing, it's not too early, go back quickly." The old man looked at me kindly and said.

After listening to the old man's words, I suddenly realized, and then picked up the box and said goodbye to the old man, and then left the reading room.

When I went downstairs, I felt relaxed, my steps were much lighter, and I knew that there were no ghosts or gods in this world, and they were all just scaring themselves.

It wasn't long before I arrived at the entrance to the library, and before I could get out, I noticed a taxi parked in front of the iron gate.

This place is relatively remote, taxis rarely go here, I saw that I had taken the shit luck, and was just about to go up to stop the car, but at this time a man walked out of the cab.

I looked at it through the dim street lamp, and I was shocked that this person was the driver who had just sent me here!

The driver got out of the car and looked around, then came to the courtyard gate and looked inside.

He looked at the courtyard and the library building as if he was looking for something, and I was already hiding in the hallway wall, which happened to be his blind spot.

After looking at it for about two or three minutes, he turned around and prepared to leave, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, and then bent down and picked up something from the ground.

I can't really see it because of the distance, but from the shape, it should be the Red Lotus brand cigarette I discarded earlier.

The driver glanced at the cigarette in his hand and shook his head, then entered the cab and started the car to drive off into the distance, and disappeared in a short time.

I walked out of the library building after seeing the taxi go away, and it seemed that my earlier guess was correct, and the driver was indeed not a good man.

The reason why he turned back after a while was to see if I had been stunned by the cigarette, and if I had fainted and fallen to the ground, he would have committed a crime against me, taking all my money and possessions from me, or with terrible consequences.

I didn't expect that it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil in the hearts of people in the world, but the driver who I regarded as a good person secretly attacked me, and the old man who I regarded as dirty things told me many times, it seems that everything can not only look at the surface.

After a long sigh of relief, I walked towards the courtyard gate with the box in my arms, and as I passed the guard room, I wanted to see what the old man's living environment was.

So I leaned down on the window, turned on my flashlight and looked inside.

It doesn't matter if I look at it, my head suddenly exploded in fright, and my whole body was hairy!

In the dilapidated and dirty room, there was a pitch-black coffin, and a black-and-white posthumous photo was placed on the wooden cabinet on one side.

The person in the photo is the old man I was talking to!
