In a brand coffee house in Dadong District, Fengtian City.

Li Mengzhu and I were sipping fragrant coffee and chatting very leisurely.

This is the third time we have "dated" since the end of Hu Dongfang's case, the first two times were to eat and watch movies, this time Li Mengzhu said that she wanted to drink coffee, so I accompanied her out to breathe.

The location is not far from Li Mengzhu's community, I have to say that the area where Li Mengzhu lives is a place where rich people gather, such as this coffee house, a cup of caramel macchiato costs more than 100 yuan, and there is no palm-sized snack, more than 200 yuan, the two of them can drink some coffee and eat some snacks, it will cost more than 500, what is the rhythm?

However, the environment is really elegant, the lighting is soft, the music is pleasant, and the customers around me talk and communicate quietly, which reminds me of the library I used to go to when I was in college, and I used to feel this way at that time.

At this time, Li Mengzhu took a small spoonful of dim sum in a very ladylike bite, chewed slowly, and asked softly, "Did you really quit your previous job?" Just because of Hu Dongfang and Zhang Dawei? ”

I leaned over, almost face to face, and whispered, "Actually, I didn't want to do it for a long time, I didn't develop!" "I sighed in my heart, we both drank coffee here, it was worth a week's salary, it was really not interesting.

Li Mengzhu seemed to be a little unbearable and kept staring at her with my eyes, moved her body back slightly, and pretended to be casual, "That'...... What's next for you? ”

I was about to answer. Suddenly, a shrill female voice roared behind him, "Enough, I don't want to hear your nonsense anymore, you're a psychopath, a psychopath!" "Together with me Li Mengzhu, more than ten tables of guests in the room immediately turned their eyes over. Li Mengzhu also frowned, his expression was a little disgusted, after all, relaxing in such a quiet place, everything around him was quiet, and suddenly there was such a loud quarrel, which was incompatible with the surrounding environment, and it was very discordant.

Seeing that the people around him were not kind to him, the man at the next table who was arguing with the woman suddenly blushed and stammered and explained, "Little ...... Xiaoru, what I said is true, you ...... You know me, I'm a man, and I've never ...... Never, I really saw the eyes that day......"

Hearing this, I suddenly remembered the last letter Hu Dongfang sent me in prison. At that time, he said that I guessed everything correctly, but the eyes found in the wall at the end were not his ghosts. At the time, I thought he was talking nonsense and deliberately scaring me, but today I accidentally heard something about "eyes" again, and I had to recall it again!

At this time, the girl known as "Xiaoru" stomped her foot angrily, turned around and left, no matter how the man pulled behind her, how to persuade, how to call, just didn't look back, and soon, the girl walked out of the coffee house, leaving the man standing in place with a depressed expression, quite at a loss.

The people around him pointed at him and whispered about it. I took the opportunity to whisper in Li Mengzhu's ear, "Wait for me!" And went straight to the man!

Soon, the man's round face came into my field of vision, I looked at the other party, and found that he was about 175 cm tall, neatly dressed, and well-behaved, but he was sweating a lot on his forehead, and he had a pair of diamond glasses on the bridge of his nose that looked expensive, constantly refracting a bright and cold light to the surroundings.

I leaned over, stretched out my hand very kindly, and said in a low voice, "Hello, my name is Jiang Xiaohe, can I talk to you?" ”

The other party hesitated for a moment, looked at me suspiciously, did not speak, and did not stretch out his hand.

I didn't care at all, continued to maintain a friendly attitude, smiled slightly, and said, "Hello, my name is Jiang Xiaohe, can I talk to you?" ”

The man said, "Hello, my name is Liu Mingyuan, but I don't know you. What do you want to talk to me about? ”

I was silent for a while, and suddenly pointed to my eyes, staring straight at him, and not long after, Liu Mingyuan subconsciously shuddered, as if he understood what I meant, looked around, and nodded. At this moment, we didn't communicate in words, but Liu Mingyuan seemed to get closer to me and invited me to the seat where he and the girl were sitting just now.

Later, I glanced back at Li Mengzhu and found that she was also constantly looking at us, with a curious expression. I secretly dialed her phone, and then put the phone in my arms, so that Li Mengzhu could hear the next conversation between me and Liu Mingyuan, so that she wouldn't have to be bored when she sat there by herself.

Then, Liu Mingyuan asked for two cups of coffee very carefully, and while we drank it, Liu Mingyuan said, "Mr. Jiang." The one just now is my girlfriend, and you are looking for me to talk to me...... Eye...... The eye-catching thing? ”

When it comes to eyes, I don't know why, Liu Mingyuan and I looked around at the same time, as if we were being watched.

I suppressed the heat in my heart, nodded, and said, "Yes, eyes." Do you see the eyes too? ”

Actually, my question is a bit abrupt, and if it were an ordinary person, it would be inexplicable. Because who hasn't seen the eyes? Everyone has to see many eyes every day, their own, their colleagues', their classmates', their relatives', and passers-by...... What's so strange about that?

But I believe that if Liu Mingyuan really had a very special experience, he would definitely understand what I really wanted to say. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Liu Mingyuan to take a big sip of coffee, take several deep breaths in a row, and said, "I saw strange eyes in a very special place, and so did you?" ”

I don't answer the rhetorical question, "Where did you see that?" Is it in the wall? ”

"That's right! Wall! It's the wall! As soon as he said this, Liu Mingyuan, who was originally very nervous, suddenly became extremely excited, probably because he had been talking to his girlfriend for a long time just now, and the other party was just angry that he was talking nonsense and didn't believe it at all. At this moment, my attitude undoubtedly showed that not only did I believe what he had to say, but that I had been through the same experience as him, and he was naturally very excited.

I waited for him to calm down for a moment before I slowly asked, "Then where are you, where and on which wall do you see your eyes?" What kind of eyes is it? Is the color red or black or something else? ”

Liu Mingyuan tilted his head sideways and recalled carefully, "The specific location is in the 'Thrilling Castle'. It's a place to play a live-action escape room. That eye, how to describe it, anyway, when I looked at it, the strange feeling was like looking out through the cat's eye of the security door at home, and suddenly seeing another eye. The color is also quite scary, it's the kind of blood red, by the way, have you ever seen a Western vampire movie? It's that weird bright red! ”

There is no doubt that the feeling I felt when I saw my eyes inside the wall was the same as Liu Mingyuan. The only difference is that the eye I saw was only a normal color, perhaps to be correct, a normal Chinese eye color, while Liu Mingyuan saw a red eye.

Do we not see the same eye?

But why are there eyes in the walls? How is it possible for the eye to exist independently of its own "master"? With what I learned in college, these things simply couldn't have happened. However, what could not happen happened, but it happened, and Liu Mingyuan and I really saw the eyes in the wall. What the hell is going on?

Next, Liu Mingyuan and I sat there for a long time, drinking coffee silently without speaking. Maybe it was because things happened so weird, Liu Mingyuan and I didn't find the answer to the question for a while, we just kept thinking.

It didn't take long for Liu Mingyuan to seem to be comforting himself, "Friend, your name is Jiang ...... Jiang Xiaohe, right? I thought that the eyes I saw might be a deliberately designed trap by the staff inside the 'Thrilling Castle'. You think, who would believe that you found an eye in the wall for no reason? Yes, that's right, it must be like that! You tell me? ”

I smiled bitterly in my heart. If I hadn't experienced Hu Dongfang's case before, I would have agreed with him, but now, I think anything can happen. However, despite the mess in my heart, I still smiled reluctantly on the surface and said, "It should be like this." ”

Only then did Liu Ming remember and asked curiously, "By the way, why do you believe my words?" Have you ever been to the Castle of Horrors? ”

I didn't want to tell him that the eyes I had seen were inside the walls of an ordinary hotel. So he nodded perfunctorily, "Yes." I think the eyes we see are all deliberately left by the designers of the castle! ”

"Okay." Liu Mingyuan's expression perked up slightly, and after he drank the last sip of coffee, he politely left me a mobile phone number and left. When I returned to Li Mengzhu's seat, Li Mengzhu looked at me with a slightly pale face, shook the phone in his hand, and said bluntly, "It seems that we have encountered strange things again!" ”

"Yes, you heard it all." I nodded a little tiredly, "But this time, I'm not going to meddle in it." What eyes, nose, hair, nothing to do with me. I just want to find a job now, earn some pocket money, and save my family from worrying. ”

"I think so!" Li Mengzhu obviously sighed insincerely, and said, "Otherwise, I'll help you find a job, my dad's company is very short of people, after we had dinner together last time, my dad said that he admires you very much, if you have the opportunity, I hope you can come to our company to help, what are the conditions, you just mention it!" ”

"Thank you! But I still want to continue to rest at home for a few more days, and I'll talk about it later! It can be seen that Li Mengzhu is actually more interested in the strange "eyes", and with my understanding of her, her curiosity is heavier than mine.

So I casually asked, "By the way, after your third aunt Li Tong died, what happened to that hotel?" Have you been there again? ”

"It's out." Li Mengzhu said, "I don't know who to give it to, and I haven't been there for a long time." But according to my dad, it seems to have been converted into a playground, and its name is ...... Oh my God, it's not going to be ......"

Speaking of which, Li Mengzhu and I were stunned at the same time, and they realized one thing at the same time, and blurted out to each other, "Thrilling Castle!" ”
