The mark, located at the bottom of the nameplate, had a crooked line on one of the lines.

He Qing recalled the metal scraping sound she heard last night.

She was stunned on the spot, and when she came back to her senses, she had goosebumps on her body and shivered.

He Qing buried her head and left, not daring to look at the scaffolding, until she got on the bus, arrived at the company, and blew the air conditioner, she let go of her clenched teeth.

In the evening, He Qing asked her girlfriend to have dinner together.

“…… There really is a mark! It's so long! He Qing gestured excitedly.

"No, it won't. Did it exist before? The girlfriend looked surprised.

He Qing couldn't answer that question. She hadn't looked at the nameplate before.

"Then don't go there in the future." The best friend gave He Qing advice.

"Well, definitely not leaving." He Qing nodded vigorously.

They couldn't think of anything else. After all, He Qing was not physically harmed. Exactly what she heard, she couldn't be sure.

When she went home, she passed by the gold store in the mall, and He Qing had a flash of inspiration in her mind.

"Otherwise, I'll buy some gold. Isn't there a saying that gold can ward off evil spirits? ”

"You might as well buy a jade pendant directly, many jade pendants are Buddhas and Guanyin." My best friend said.

"Buy them all." He Qing gritted his teeth and decided to bleed heavily today.

The two of them said this before entering the store, and after shopping, their thinking gradually changed.

He Qing and her best friend bought a gold bracelet with various delicate gold ornaments. He Qing's one, strung with olive branches and doves of peace; The best friend's one is daisies and bees.

When buying a jade pendant, He Qing reluctantly gave up a cute rabbit carved jade pendant and chose a bodhisattva with kind eyebrows. Her best friend grinned and took the rabbit she fancied into her pocket.

"Be careful when you go back, don't go there!" The best friend and He Qing separated, and they didn't forget to remind them.

He Qing naturally didn't take that path.

Until the scaffolding was demolished, a new fence was built in that place, and the community's civilization propaganda board was hung, there were never rumors, and He Qing never walked on that road again.

But at that time, He Qing was no longer afraid, she was just used to another route to work.

By mid-October, the weather had cooled.

He Qing didn't wear a jade pendant anymore, but the gold bracelet would be worn by her from time to time to match her clothes.

She went to work that day, and when she got off the train at the station, she only felt that her hanging hand was pulled. She immediately grabbed her wrist and grabbed the gold chain that had almost fallen off.

After getting out of the car, He Qing took a rough look at the broken chain, stuffed it into his pocket, and hurried to the company to check in.

When it was time for the lunch break, He Qing took the chain out of his pocket.

"What do you do?" A colleague passed by and asked curiously.

"The chain is broken." He Qing held up the bracelet to show her colleagues.

"You can't handle this yourself, can you?" The colleague took a closer look at the broken cut of the gold chain, "You better take it to the store and repair it." It's pretty good. Owl? ”

He Qing sighed, "It's a dove, a dove of peace." ”

"Such a fat dove of peace? Oh, this one is an olive branch. I just read it wrong. The colleague retracted his gaze and returned the chain to He Qing, "There are a few gold shops over here, you know?" Wear it from the path, very close. ”

"Hmm." He Qing replied listlessly.

I don't know if it's because of this incident, she has been a little restless all day.

He Qing remembered why she bought this chain at this time. She also remembers that she told her colleagues a ghost story about that experience during the company's team building event last month. She wasn't scared at all then, but now she couldn't help but think about it.

When she got off work, He Qing took a detour to the gold store.

The repair took some time. The chain that was regained was not much different from the past, at least He Qing didn't see the difference.

He Qing had dinner nearby, and when she walked to the bus stop, she saw that the bus she was going to take stopped in front of the platform. The car jumped with double yellow lights, the front and rear doors were wide open, there were no passengers in the car, and the driver did not know where to go.

He Qing's eyelids jumped, his steps slowed down, and one hand unconsciously touched the gold chain.

She passed by the bus stop and looked at the bus's license plate.

This is not the same route as the bus she used to take, and the license plate number must be different.

Next to the license plate is a paint-painted car number.

He Qing doesn't sit at the terminal when she commutes to and from work, and she doesn't care about the bus number on weekdays. The last time she encountered an accident, she didn't look at the number of the car that broke down, nor did she look at the number she took later, so naturally she couldn't tell if these cars were the same number.

He Qing retracted her gaze, didn't stop, and walked to the intersection, wanting to take a taxi.

As soon as I took out my phone, I saw that the screen was black. Press the power button, and a low battery prompt pops up.

He Qing's two eyelids jumped up.

Today's events and events made her very uneasy.

The memory played out in her mind.

She was a little anxious, and she broke out in a cold sweat. After standing stupidly at the intersection for a while, she remembered her best friend's address.

My girlfriend is currently living with her boyfriend, living in a new house, a high-rise building, and most of the people in the community are young people. There is also a police station nearby. Standing on the balcony of the house and looking out, you can also see a lively business district. There is a subway station platform at the intersection of the business district.

He Qing thought about the vacant land left by the demolition and made a decision.

She looked up and found the familiar subway station sign.

In the crowded subway car, He Qing relaxed a little.

She suddenly felt that she was making a bit of a fuss.

Just as she hesitated, she felt her wrist loosen.

The gold chain fell into He Qing's cuffs and got stuck in her sleeve.

He Qing was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly pulled out the chain.

The chain broke again.

This time the location of the break is different from the previous one.

He Qing reached into his sleeve again and pinched out the fallen pigeons and olive branch ornaments.

She clenched these things tightly, panicking.

Her five senses became extremely sharp, and she could hear the voices of the people in the carriage. She also rolled her eyes and surveyed the passengers around her. Everything looks normal. It's just that her violent heartbeat can't be calmed, and the chain in her hand seems to be pierced into her palm, which makes her tremble a little.

Soon, the subway arrived.

He Qing walked out of the carriage with the flow of people, and when she took the escalator up, the chain and pendant in her hand were heated by her. Her palms were covered with sweat.

He Qing found the community where her best friend lived and went straight to the building where she lived.

Pressing the door number on the anti-theft lock downstairs, He Qing listened to the doorbell music, anxious.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her, and the sound of something dragging on the concrete floor.

"Who?"

"It's me! Open the door! He Qing shouted, tears about to pour out.

The girlfriend was stunned at the walkie-talkie, but immediately opened the door for her.

He Qing opened the heavy security door, ran into the building, and without waiting for the security door to close automatically, he grabbed the doorknob and pulled the door hard.

Through the railing of the security door, He Qing saw the figure of a man.

The man lowered his head, his hands hanging naturally, and his fingers hooked a tool in the shape of a long stick. The other end of the tool fell to the ground, and he dragged it, making white marks on the concrete floor.
