Since ancient times, it is difficult to live by being amorous, and cause and effect eventually regard oneself as death.

White-collar Xiao Nan is a workaholic, under the pressure of serious industry competition in the involution, she also has to work harder, if she is eliminated, the final result is to be eliminated. And the basic performance that best reflects hard work is overtime, which means that Xiao Nan has to face the dark and unmanned environment alone every time he gets off work, even if he is afraid, he is still supporting himself.

In order to save time on commuting, Xiao Nan rents an urban village close to the company, which, like many big cities, is like a scar on clean skin, which affects the beauty but cannot be eradicated. This kind of place is also the ideal place for countless people to want to stay, because it is cheap, because of the good location, and the bad thing is that it is also a good place to hide dirt and dirt, and countless people from all religions and nine streams gather here.

At ten o'clock that night, Xiao Nan walked alone in the alley, and the only few street lights in the alley were also on and off, which made the short journey home particularly ups and downs, and it was false to say that she was not afraid, after all, Xiao Nan was a girl. The alley is narrow and deep, and the echo is very loud, walking to the dark realm without lights, I always feel as if someone is following behind me, Xiao Nan suddenly looks back from time to time, afraid that something will follow him.

Xiao Nan's rented place is the first floor of a private house, one bedroom and one living room, the location of the private house is at the intersection of two small alleys, the only thing she is not satisfied with is that at night, the broken street lights in this place make her only use her mobile phone to light the road, while taking out the key from her bag, several times the key fell on the ground and had to find it for a long time. I have reported this to the landlord a few times, but every time it can't solve the problem, after a long time, she won't bother to care, anyway, it's not her own house, and when she saves some money, she will change places to live.

With a nervous mood, Xiao Nan finally walked to the door of the house, she turned on the flashlight of the mobile phone while rummaging for the key in the bag, one did not pay attention, the key that had just been turned out of the bag fell to the ground with a "click", she quickly adjusted the flashlight and bent down to find it. When she was seriously searching, Xiao Nan suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on her back, she snorted, and when she looked back, there was a sound of high heels in the alley not far away.

Xiao Nan felt an inexplicable sense of tension in her heart, she didn't know what she was afraid of, the sound of high heels was getting closer and closer, and Xiao Nan also happened to touch the key at this time, she quickly grabbed the key and ran home. ran to the door of the house as if he was escaping, and quickly opened and closed the door, during this period, the piercing sound of high heels has been lingering in his ears, and after calming down, Xiao Nan himself didn't know what he was nervous about, but he felt weird.

Maybe it's a tenant who lives nearby, she thought to herself, Xiao Nan hasn't lived for a long time, and she doesn't know how many people live in this place, and she really doesn't have time to inquire. After the landlord took her to see the house, he also explained to her, saying that this place is very messy, don't go out at night, and every female tenant who rents his house will explain it like this, for fear that something will affect him.

Soon Xiao Nan put the nervousness just now, and the double fatigue of body and mind made her hastily eat something and fall asleep, some people say that if you sleep deeply, you won't dream, because dreaming also requires energy. But Xiao Nan seems to have enough strength tonight, in the dream she walked in the alley, there were a lot of footsteps behind her, but as soon as she turned around, the voice behind her stopped abruptly, as if there were many invisible people who had been following her.

Xiao Nan walked from the beginning to the later run, the voice behind her was getting closer and closer, more and more noisy, the sound was like a magic barrier that kept stimulating Xiao Nan's brain nerves, she was more and more afraid, but the alley was like a bottomless pit, no matter how she ran, she couldn't see the end, and she couldn't see her home. Just when Xiao Nan's heart was about to collapse, she finally saw the door of her house, she hurriedly took out the key from her pocket, made a mistake in the hurry, the key fell to the ground in response, Xiao Nan hurriedly bent down to pick it up, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of high heels behind her, and this time it was running high heels.

The voice was getting closer and closer, Xiao Nan seemed to have been immobilized, staying in place and unable to move, she looked back with all her might, and in an instant, a pair of red high heels appeared in her sight, and her eyes looked up along the shoes, and they turned out to be two highly rotten legs.

"Ah~"

Xiao Nan woke up from the bed violently, gasping for breath, and while her consciousness slowly recovered, she also realized that it was just a dream, and glanced at the time, two o'clock in the morning. Xiao Nan lay back on the bed, the nightmare just now made it difficult for her to sleep for a while, just lying on the bed staring at the ceiling, people are very quiet and dark around, hearing and smell are strengthened, and gradually regaining her calm, she smelled a faint smell, the smell is very faint but you can still smell it if you smell it carefully.

The tiredness made her too lazy to turn on the light to check, and this smell did not affect her sleep, so she fell asleep slowly again, and when she slept until dawn, the mechanical life began again, and she hurriedly ate breakfast and went to work to make her forget all about last night. The day dispelled the night, and by the way, it also dispelled a lot of demons and monsters hidden in the darkness, and against the morning sun, Xiao Nan seemed to have more hope and courage for the future in his heart.

The day passed quickly, and it was no accident that Xiao Nan worked overtime until late to go home, but fortunately, tonight's alley was not her own, at this moment there were pedestrians in front and behind Xiao Nan, and there were several stalls selling supper at the intersection not far in front. Xiao Nan is a foodie and has no resistance to food, so she ran to the stall in three steps and two steps to order a roast pig's trotters and a bunch of barbecue, and then stopped.

In the process of waiting for food, Xiao Nan heard the sound of high heels in her ears, this time Xiao Nan was not afraid, but turned her head to find the source of the sound, after looking around, she found that there was a woman's back in the alley not far away, and the sound was from the high heels on the woman's feet. Due to the dim lighting in the position and direction of the woman's walking, Xiao Nan couldn't see clearly, so she could only judge by feeling that she was a match for dresses and high heels.

Holding fragrant food in her hand, Xiao Nan was in a good mood, at this moment she just wanted to go home as soon as possible to eat, and it didn't take long for her to walk to the alley of the house, but when the key was taken out, Xiao Nan actually saw the woman she had just met also walked into the private house she rented. It's a coincidence, the first time I met other tenants, Xiao Nan was not very surprised, this private house was transformed into many rooms by the landlord, and she would definitely not rent it alone, thinking of this, she shrugged her shoulders and opened the door and went home.

After a simple wash, Xiao Nan couldn't wait to sit on the table and eat, gnawing on the pig's trotters, she looked at the cabinet that was locked by the landlord opposite, according to the landlord, this is the last tenant's leftovers, and not long ago, the tenant sent a message saying that he had something urgent to go back to his hometown, and then there was no news, and the rent was paid for two months. In desperation, the landlord had no choice but to lock the cabinet, thinking that he would return the things after the tenant came back to make up the rent, because it did not affect Xiao Nan's residence, so she didn't care.

Xiao Nan, who was eating pig's trotters with her mobile phone, felt a wind blowing in her face, she looked up and found that the window in the living room was not closed, thinking about going to close it and then coming back to continue eating, just when she just stood up, a foul smell mixed with the wind blew into Xiao Nan's nose. She frowned, went to close the window first, but the stench was still spreading in the air around her, and after a brief search, she found no source of the smell, so she had to take out the air freshener and spray it, and then returned to the table to continue eating.

At night, Xiao Nan in her sleep was haunted by nightmares again, and the strange thing was that the dream was still the same dream she had the day before, but this time she ran into her room, but the high heels followed her. It's two o'clock in the morning again, Xiao Nan who was awakened looked at the time on the phone and was a little confused, at this time she smelled the smell again, this time the smell was a little bigger, she got up and picked up the freshener and sprayed it wildly before lying back on the bed satisfied, thinking about waiting until the next day to react to the landlord and let him deal with it.

After a night of silence, the first thing after dawn, Xiao Nan sent a message to the landlord, and only after getting a reply did she go to work satisfied, and she could still smell the stench before closing the door and leaving home. Because she made an appointment with the landlord to deal with the smell in the room, Xiao Nan took half a day off, and when she arrived at the door, the landlord was already waiting at the door, and also brought a few cleaners. When the group opened the door and entered the house, the stench greeted them, which was no longer the faint smell at the beginning, and the landlord also frowned, urging the cleaners to start cleaning.

During the period, after the landlord and Xiao Nan had a brief understanding, the two of them looked for it in the room, and after some tossing, they did not find the source of the smell, and the cleaners had already cleaned the whole room inside and out, and they did not find where the smell came from. In the end, I really had no choice, so I could only spray disinfectant in the room a few times, and then light the aromatherapy, which made the smell slightly weaker, and watched the landlord and his party leave, Xiao Nan could only accept the status quo.

I only worked for half a day today, so after dinner, Xiao Nan went to bed early, thinking that he could take this opportunity to sleep well, but the nightmare still came as scheduled, this time Xiao Nan ran into the room and closed the door heavily. Thinking that he could avoid the rotten legs wearing high heels, he didn't expect it to pass through the door, walked to the locked cabinet in the room in front of Xiao Nan, and after a pause, he began to kick the cabinet door regularly, and every time he kicked the door, carrion fell from the rotten legs, and Xiao Nan screamed in horror.

"Ah~"

Xiao Nan, who was sitting on the bed, was really frightened, she wrapped the quilt tightly and curled up together, at this moment, a strong stench hit, she covered her nose and wanted to get the freshener and spray it again, just when she just got up, there was a very regular sound of kicking the cabinet outside the bedroom. Dark and quiet night, this voice is very harsh, Xiao Nan is very sure that it is not her own auditory hallucination, she screamed in horror again, got into the quilt, sobbed in fear, and the sound outside the door came again and again, like a death bell from hell.

Xiao Nan just shrunk in the quilt and stayed up all night, as soon as it was dawn, she called the landlord, told her what happened last night, and asked the company for leave, the landlord quickly rushed over, as soon as he entered the door, the strong smell made him realize that the matter might be very serious.

Soon, the police found a highly decomposed female corpse in the cabinet in the room, the body was wrapped in a blanket, and it was identified as a tenant who had returned to his hometown according to the landlord.
