"Drop~"

The attendance machine on the wall makes an unpleasant and boring sound.

"Clocked in, Lin An, 10:07 p.m. at the end of work."

Lin An exhaled deeply, full of tiredness, only to feel that the computer bag on his shoulders was so heavy.

"Do you want to drink? I'm in for a treat. A colleague greeted him.

Lin An just shook his head with a smile.

"Ha, Andy can't drink at all, a cup of drunk, it's boring, let's go." A few colleagues in the office gathered together to discuss where to go for a while.

But the carnival was theirs, and Lin An just silently walked to the elevator with his computer bag in his arms.

He's not a misfit, he's just ......

As the crowd of people after work squeezed into the elevator, Lin An was squeezed into the innermost corner, and the air was filled with all kinds of strange smells, perfume, coffee, cigarettes, and stinky feet......

The elevator door closed slowly, the light flickered, and Lin An suffocated.

He closed his eyes tightly, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

"I'm sorry to squeeze you."

A crisp and beautiful voice sounded in his ears, and Lin An opened his eyes and saw a girl in a white shirt talking to him.

The girl next to her leaned over and whispered something in her ear, which immediately made the girl's cheeks flush and hammered her colleague's shoulder.

Then, she leaned back a little and pulled herself away from Lin An a little.

Unfortunately, the elevator was too crowded, and she was squeezed up again.

Suddenly, she was keenly aware that the breathing of the delicate and handsome little brother in front of her became heavy again, which couldn't help but make her cheeks look even redder.

Lin An didn't feel embarrassed, he just felt scared.

In his eyes, a python the thickness of an adult's arm was coiled over this girl. As he got too close, the cold scales gently scraped against his skin, causing goosebumps to crawl up.

The python slowly stretched out its long body, its huge head towering in mid-air, quickly swallowing the letter, looking around in the elevator, and finally looking at Lin An.

The cold and aggressive vertical pupils were staring firmly at Lin An's neck, as if they would pounce and bite at any moment.

"It's fake!"

"It's fake!"

Lin An muttered frantically in his heart, turned his head to look at the wall of the elevator, which was smooth like a mirror, and sure enough, the picture inside the reflected elevator did not have a python.

But the touch of this python was so real, it crawled from the girl's body to her neck, gently wrapped around it, and gently rubbed it against her cheek.

It's so cold.

It was like a nightmare, he was diagnosed with cataracts some time ago, and after the operation, he was discharged from the hospital, and he began to see all kinds of terrible images.

The little boss who ran over and asked him to change the effect of the picture, when he talked about beautiful women, the oily and powdery head would suddenly turn into a huge wolf head.

In the subway at night, when you turn your head, you will suddenly find a dead cat hanging with big eyes.

He didn't know what was going on.

He didn't even dare to go to the doctor.

Fear of being judged mentally ill.

In that case, he will definitely be fired by the company, and he will no longer be able to pay the monthly payment for the house, and he will live on the streets.

He even feared that he would be put in a mental hospital, and since he was an orphan, no one would come to visit him, and he could spend his life in a mental hospital waiting for death in despair.

He can only refrain and restrain and restrain again.

Tell yourself that you can't do anything unusual, and you can't go crazy and hurt others.

He felt that he was selfish, and if he was mentally ill, he might be able to cause harm to others because of these hallucinations.

That's why he gritted his teeth so hard and endured it.

So......

Hard life.

Tell yourself that nothing can defeat him, he doesn't want much, just live well.

But even to be alive is so difficult.

When the elevator finally arrived, he opened his eyes suddenly, pushed away the girl who was staring at his side face in a daze, and struggled to squeeze out of the crowd.

He ran in such a big stride, far away from the crowd of people who walked out of the elevator, to the flower garden next to the southwest gate of the software park, holding his knees and panting.

Then, somewhat weakly, he sat on a bench beside the flowerbed and stared blankly at the street beyond the railing.

This bustling commercial city is so noisy that even at night, it is full of people. And where there are many people, the easier it is for him to see those strange things.

Yes, he prefers to walk in dark and uninhabited alleys rather than lively streets.

Those hallucinations always seem to be accompanied by traces of human activity.

He began to be afraid of people, but he was not afraid of those ethereal ghosts.

He was so helplessly curled up on the bench with his computer bag in his arms, patiently waiting for 11 o'clock to come.

At that time, the last train of the subway, there are not too many people in the carriage to let him go home quietly and comfortably.

"I'm so tired......"

He exhaled deeply, pulled his phone out of his pocket, and flipped through the pages inside in some silence.

It was a post about meditation written by a yoga blogger about how to regulate your breathing and meditate, so that you can relax your tense nerves and get a deep relaxation under the heavy pressure of the city.

The post was long, and most of the comments were jokes like 'It's well written, put it in my collector's house and eat ashes'.

Lin An is studying so seriously.

He had to learn.

Do everything you can to keep yourself from becoming anxious and don't get overwhelmed by too much tension.

He finally graduated, started to have a not too bad job, mortgaged a small apartment not too far from the city center, and finally had a shelter from the wind and rain.

He also wants to save enough money to enjoy the kind of early retirement that others say.

When the time comes, he wants to travel, see the beautiful world outside the small circle where he lives, and want to eat all kinds of food, and he has a lot of such recommendations in his video software.

He also wants to have a girlfriend, he doesn't need to be pretty, and his personality is the best, so that he doesn't need to go out with him often.

Then, they can be in their nest hehehe......

Lin An leaned back on the bench, looking at the lights of the city streets, smirking stupidly, looking forward to a better life in the future.

Finally, he was completely relaxed, and waited for the moment when the city gradually became quieter.

So he walked briskly to the subway station, took a nap in the corner of an empty carriage, and came to a neighborhood on the edge of the city.

Happy community, a very beautiful name.

Lin An took a hot bath, opened the window, let the night breeze of the city blow in, lazily lay on the bed with his mobile phone and read a few posts to adjust his mentality, turned off the bedside light with a yawn, pulled up the blanket and fell asleep beautifully.

Knock knock~

A rhythmic thud came from under the bed.

Lin An rolled over in a daze and continued to fall asleep.

Knock knock~

The sound under the bed didn't seem to stop, and Lin An finally rubbed his confused eyes helplessly, tore off the blanket, and just lay on the bed and looked at the bottom of the bed.

In the quiet moonlight, there was a lot of shadow under the bed.

One of his heads was beating like a basketball, and he kept hitting the bed with his head.

Half-length hair, bloodless skin, only two holes in the eye sockets, and chapped lips with some dark red lines......

Lin An sighed deeply and looked at it with some pleading, "Please, can you not disturb me, I have to go to work tomorrow~"
