Chapter 32: Midnight Show (8)

There was dead silence in the room.

It's just me and him.

I broke the silence: "You...... You have to go to work tomorrow, right? Oh, I should say today. "Kids over the age of 6 know what that means.

"It's okay, I'm on vacation." He looked at me and said.

I smiled dryly, shivering more and more.

"You're too cold......" After he finished speaking, he slowly stood up and walked over step by step staring at the placket of my clothes: "It must be that the water bag is cold, you take it out, I'll change some hot water for you." "

"No......" I flashed back.

"What's wrong with you?" He looked at me in amazement.

"Not much!"

He smiled, and there was a hint of mockery in that smile, and I clearly felt that his eyes were not like human eyes!

I put a hand in my arms and clung to the tube of insecticide, like a lamb facing a soft viper, hoping to save its life with its horns.

He suddenly said, "Did you love hide and seek when you were a child?" "

I looked straight at him, not knowing what to answer.

He smiled again and said, "I like hide and seek the most, and no one can find me when I hide." If I don't come out, they will never find ......"

I think he's telling the truth. On that day, he went from darkness to darkness, and no one knew his whereabouts.

"Can I use your toilet?" He said suddenly.

That's when I uttered two words: "...... You use. "

"Thank you."

With that, he turned and walked towards the toilet. Perhaps, it was time for him to leave after going to the bathroom......

For a long time, I didn't hear him flushing.

Suddenly, I thought of running away.

But this is my home, where am I going?

Running to a friend's house? I knocked people up in the middle of the night, saying that there was a person chatting at my house and never leaving, and I ran to your house while he was on the toilet--- isn't that ridiculous?

Gradually, I stopped shaking.

He still didn't come out.

I was a little surprised, grabbed the weapon in my arms, and quietly walked to the bathroom door, only to find that it was dark and rumbling, and the light was not turned on.

I shouted, "Evergreen!"

There was no sound inside.

I knocked on the door and called again, "Evergreen!" Are you in there? "

Where is he not in it? This bathroom is surrounded by walls and has no windows.

There was still no sound inside.

I twisted the doorknob slightly, and it was locked.

I quickly grabbed the key and opened the door: "Squeak......"

It's eerily quiet inside. I stood outside, reached in, turned on the light inside--- I was dumbfounded, it was empty, that weird security guard was gone!

This guy is playing hide and seek with me!

My eyes quickly scanned the bathroom to see where he could hide.

I jerked the shower open, and there was no one.

I opened the lid of the washing machine again, and there was still no one.

Except for these two places, there is no place to hide people.

I stood still, not daring to move, which kept my hearing extremely sensitive and undisturbed.

It's so quiet all around, like an empty house that no one lives in.

---Suppose there is a person who plays hide and seek with you in a small area, but you can't find this person everywhere, and you can't see his smiling face until it gets dark, until many years later...... You didn't find this person again! What a horrible thing to do.

There is nowhere to escape from this bathroom, the toilet pipe can't reach into a fist, the exhaust hole is not as big as the bowl mouth, and the floor drain is like a rat hole......

I'm sure he's in this bathroom, smiling secretly, but I can't see him......

The water in the toilet was bubbling a little, and I looked nervously there, and suddenly remembered my horror story: a man threw a bug covered in hairs into the toilet, and finally it turned into countless bugs and crawled out......

Could it be that this evergreen will peek out of the toilet?

I stared at it, and it didn't make any sound again.

After a long time, I finally quit and went back to the living room.

Outside the window was pre-dawn darkness.

I sat on the couch for a while, then reluctantly stood up and quietly walked to the bathroom.

Suddenly, my scalp went numb--- the light in the bathroom was turned off, and it was pitch black.

I stood outside and whispered inside, "Evergreen......"

There was not a single sound.

I took a step into the dark-rumbling bathroom and reached for the light, but it didn't come on.

My heart shook violently and I quickly withdrew.

I took a flashlight and shone it inside, but there was still nothing. I tentatively walked in, and there was a hairy thing hanging in the air, almost hitting my eye.

I took a step back and shone my flashlight at it, staring intently at --- it was a very large spider with many paws slowly dancing, and that was its expression.

I vaguely saw that it had a lot of eyes, and under the light of the flashlight, those round eyes, hidden in the dense hair, shimmered green. Some eyes are looking at me, some are looking behind me, some are looking at the dark ceiling, some are closing their eyes......

I've never had a spider in my bathroom!

Terrified, disgusted, I picked up my broom and hit it frantically, knocking it to the ground.

Then, I hurriedly looked down for a trace of it.

It's gone!

There was only one slipper on the smooth floor, and I shuddered and lifted it open, and I saw it at a glance, the arthropod curled up with all its paws as if it were dead.
