Jayne recalls, "At that time, I was given an assignment to conduct an interview with the demon pattern in this old lady's apartment. If the interview is successful, I will be able to truly become a reporter for the U City Daily. ”

"At that time, I thought that everyone lived so close and so familiar, and this little request, Mrs. Seth should not refuse. ”

Tess turned around to photograph the other side, and didn't forget to interject, "I think your request must have been denied, didn't it?" ”

"Isn't it?" said Jerryne, still angry, when he talked about what happened at the time, "You didn't see her look at that time, it's so hateful." As soon as she heard my request, she immediately rejected me, this hateful, impersonal old lady. ”

"Hehe!" Tess couldn't help but smile, old lady Seth was stubborn, indeed impersonal, this point, Jerion said not at all, she thought for a moment, and then asked, "Did you just give up like that?" Jerryne. ”

"Of course not. Jerry immediately replied in the negative, "That job is very important to me. ”

"That's just as well. Tess nodded in agreement, "If it were me, I wouldn't give up." What did you do afterwards?"

"Later, I broke into this villa without permission. Jerryne had a pensive look on his face, which seemed to be a little surprised, and there was a hint of fear in the surprise.

He then shook his head, as if speaking to Tess. He seemed to say to himself, "The scene at that time, now that I think about it, is like a dream." Ms. Acheson, you must not believe what I saw. ”

"What do you see?" Tess was busy with her hands, and she didn't have any thoughts to think about it, so she asked the other party directly.

Jerry didn't answer directly, and said in a deep voice: "The events at that time have bothered me for a long time, and I have been doing it until now. I can't even put it down. All the qiē should be fake, but for some reason, I always feel that it is real. ”

"What are you going to say? Tess finally realized something. I couldn't help but glance back at Jerryne. Then he frowned.

"Well, I'll start at the beginning. Jarien sighed. Then he added: "I hope you will have this patience, Ms. Acheson." Because you can't understand the whole thing if you don't start from the beginning. ”

"Okay. I'm listening, Jerryne. Tess said, turning back and getting busy again.

Jerion followed her, his eyes fell on Tess's slightly upturned buttocks again, and he couldn't help but move closer, as if this proximity made him feel the heat emanating from the other party's buttocks even more, which made him feel a little different in his heart.

Jerion was about to speak, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and he couldn't help but look back, and when he turned around, Tess followed suit, apparently hearing footsteps as well.

Two young girls were coming up from downstairs, down the stairs, into the hallway, and happened to see the two of them.

One of the young girls, who knew each other as the tenant of the apartment, was a middle school student named Corinna, about fourteen or fifteen years old, who attended the nearby Bauhinia Middle School.

The other girl, about Corinna's age, seems to be her classmate.

This girl, if Xu Mo saw it, he would definitely be able to recognize her, she was the girl Emily that Xu Mo met on the long-distance bus.

Corinna apparently saw Tess and Jerryne as well, and quickly stopped and greeted the two, "Ms. Acheson, Mr. Scon, are you all here?"

"Hello, Corinna. Jerry greeted the other man.

"School, Corinna. Tess asked with a smile.

"yes, I'll take my classmates to my house to play. Corinna said, introducing Tess and Jayry to Emily, "She's my classmate, and she's called Emily. Emily, this is Ms. Acheson, this is Mr. Scone. ”

"Hello, Emily. ”

"Hello, Ms. Acheson. Hello, Mr. Scone. Emily greeted the two politely.

Corinna continued, "Ms. Acheson, Mr. Scone, what are you doing here? I remember the third floor was where Mark, Fili, and Fils lived? Oh, by the way, there was no one in 302, did you come to see the house? Somebody was moving in?"

"Ugh. Tess was stunned when she heard this, and the girl said so many things in an instant, and the guess she made, although it was wrong, was already very close to the truth, so she said: "It was Fils who asked me to come here to help him do something." ”

Tess said perfunctorily.

Corinna apparently did not suspect her, and smiled, "Then you are busy, Lady Acheson, and we will not bother you." By the way, I live on the fourth floor, room 403, if you need help, come to room 403. ”

"Okay, Corinna, thank you. Tess agreed.

Corinna said a few polite words, and then led Emily upstairs.

After the two of them left, Jerry continued the topic just now, only to hear him say, "I didn't know about this apartment, and the reason why I knew him was because of a friend of mine." That friend, who used to be a resident of this apartment. ”

"How long has that friend of yours lived?" Tess asked as soon as she heard that she was a resident of this apartment.

In Mrs. Seth's villa, she had heard Mark and others talk about it, and it seemed that anyone who stayed for more than a year would be affected by the demon pattern in this apartment.

"Probably...... A year. Jarien recalled, looking unsure.

"A year?" Tess couldn't help but be taken aback again, and said casually, "I guess he must have encountered something strange at the time, didn't he?"

"Isn't it?" Jarien replied casually, and when he was done, he suddenly realized something, looked at Tess with a strange expression, and said in surprise, "Ms. Acheson, how do you know?"

"Hehe! Let's go first, Jerryne. Tess was not in a hurry to sue the other party.

Jerion hesitated. He said, "Okay." ”

"What did he encounter?" Tess asked.

Jerry imagined the scene, frowned deeply, and replied, "This friend of mine has always been very good, at least until he moved into the apartment, and he didn't feel bad until he entered the apartment. It was fine at first, but as time went on, it came later. Especially after a year. He actually had nightmares every day. ”

"Nightmares every day?" Tess asked, with a look on her face.

"yes. Jarien nodded, "That friend of mine dared to promise me before moving into the villa. He had never had a nightmare like that. What do you guess he dreamed about? Ms. Acheson. ”

Tess stared at one of the demons on the mural. He replied, "How can I guess?"

"Okay, I'll tell you directly. Seeing that the other party had no intention of guessing, Jerry had no choice but to directly state the facts at that time. "All he dreamed of were the murals in this apartment, and these demons in the murals, you say, strange or not?"

What's so strange about that, Mark and the others are affected by the murals, and the injuries in the dream can appear in reality.

Tess thought so in her heart, but said, "Isn't it? It's strange to dream of the demons in these murals, and I think that friend of yours must have been thinking about it day and dreaming about it at night." ”

"Yes, yes, think about it day and dream about it night. Jerion chimed in, "Still, it's a little weird that he's only starting to be affected a year after he moved here. ”

Tess nodded, but she was very unimpressed.

But Jayne added, "But my friend doesn't think so." ”

"What does he think?" Tess asked casually, but she already had some thoughts in her mind.

"He ......," said Jaryne, "he was frightened, and thought these demons were alive, Ms. Acheson, and you think it's not ridiculous?"

"Ridiculous?" Tess asked casually, trying to put on a sympathetic look, "Your friend is so pitiful. I'm afraid he was frightened by his own nightmares. ”

"That's what I thought at the time. Jarien said, "But, it wasn't long before my friend could no longer bear the evil that he dreamed of every day in this room, and moved to the country." ”

"What about later?" Tess heard that the other party had moved to the country, and her heart was terrified, and she hurriedly asked about the future.

Later, he died in a car accident. Jerry said.

"Oh!" Tess replied lightly, with a look on her face that was slightly puzzled.

But Jayry continued: "Before the accident, my friend sent me an e-mail, but unfortunately I didn't have that e-mail with me, so I told you the general meaning of it, Ms. Acheson. ”

"I hope it's not presumptuous for your friend to know the contents of the email. Tess said hurriedly, but she was a little more curious.

"No, it won't. Jaryne smiled, as if he was happy to be able to share something with the other party, "The matter on my friend's email is not private, and the content is very simple, that is, he has always firmly believed that the mural in this apartment is ......."

At this point, he suddenly stopped and reminded Tess, "Lady Acheson, I hope the rest of the words will not scare you." ”

"Say, am I ready?" Tess replied with a smile, in fact, even if Jerion didn't say it, she could vaguely guess something, but she still wanted to hear what Jerryne's friend said.

"Okay, if you say that, I'll be relieved. Jarion seemed relieved, and continued, "Until his death, my friend had always firmly believed that the murals in this apartment had a strange magic that could affect people's minds, and make people think that the demons in the murals could come to life and enter people's dreams. Even...... Even ......"

Speaking of this, he seemed to feel that his words were too incredible, and after a pause, he stared at Tess's expression and continued, "Maybe one day, I can come back to life." ”

When Tess heard this, she couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart. His face was impassive, "What do you think of it?" ”

"Myself?" said Jerryne, with a wry smile on his face, "I started out. Naturally, I think this thing is too ridiculous. ”

"So, you changed your mind, didn't you? Tess keenly caught the hidden meaning of the other party's words.

Jaryne nodded and continued, "It's still because of that interview. ”

"It was around that time that I wanted to apply for a job as a reporter for the U-City Daily. At that time, the newspaper gave each of us a task, each of us to find a news, go to interview, and admit whoever did the best. ”

"You had this apartment in mind?" Tess immediately guessed something.

"Yes. Ms. Acheson. Jayrain replied in the affirmative. "At the time, I couldn't think of any other big enough news that my friend had left me with a dying message that I decided to investigate the apartment. Then. I reported my intentions. The newspaper listened. I immediately agreed, and expressed great interest in my interview, so I asked me to make such a news. ”

"And then?" asked Tess casually.

And so...... I found Old Lady Seth. Jaryne smiled wryly.

"And then she refused?"

"Yes. As soon as she heard about my plans, she scolded me without thinking about it. Jerry remembered the scene and still looked indignant.

"And you broke into this apartment alone?" Tess asked casually.

"Yes, I broke into this apartment alone, and I thought to myself that Old Lady Seth wouldn't let me interview her, so I could go into the apartment alone and investigate. Jayrain continued.

Tess vaguely realized that something was going on, stopped asking, and waited quietly for the other party to continue. Sure enough, Jayne continued, "Because the door to the apartment was always open, I didn't do anything at the time, and went straight into the apartment and headed for room 302. Room 302 is the one where my friend used to live, and this is the one that is. ”

As Jerion spoke, he suddenly walked to the door of Room 302 and reached out and twisted it on the doorknob. The door was locked, and of course it wasn't unscrewed.

When Tess heard that it was room 302, she couldn't help but be shocked again, the room that Mrs. Seth rented to Xu Mo was also room 302. Unexpectedly, this house was actually where Jerryne's friend lived before, and in this house, Jerryne's friend had an accident.

She secretly prayed in her heart: "Xu moved into this house, so that nothing else would happen." ”

But just now the prayer came out, and he couldn't help laughing, thinking of Xu Mo's ability to show, it doesn't matter if someone else has an accident, even if there is a demon in this villa, it is absolutely impossible for him to have an accident, and his worries are really a little redundant.

Jerion pushed the door, but didn't open it, and continued, "When I came in, I was ready. I even made a trip to this house first......"

He held the doorknob, "The same lock that was locked on the door at the time." When I entered, the door to this house, as it is now, was locked. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but hold the doorknob tightly, and when he turned it, the door of the house was locked, and this time, naturally, it didn't open either.

So I went out again, trying to get the tools I had prepared and open the door. Time ......"

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and continued, "It's about the same as now, and when I walked out, got the tools back, and was about to break the lock by force, another thing happened, hell, Ms. Acheson, guess what happened?"

How could Tess guess, but he was already attracted to Jerryne's story, and subconsciously asked, "What did you find?"

Jaryne remembered the scene at that time, and suddenly became nervous, and even couldn't help but gasp slightly, "Hell, when I came back and wanted to use a tool to open the lock, I grabbed the doorknob and twisted it as before. ”

As he spoke, he turned the doorknob again and continued, "This door...... The door just opened, hell, as if it had never been locked. ”

"I was shocked, surprised, and thought it was someone's prank. And I know that Old Lady Seth has always gone to bed early, so even if someone plays a prank, it is definitely not her. ”

Tess nodded, her face a little ugly, this result, to be exact, was indeed somewhat unexpected to her. When Jayon came in for the second time, the door lock was opened, if it wasn't anyone's prank, could it be the devil in this apartment?

But Jarien continued: "I saw this kind of scene, but I didn't dare to enter the room, I stood outside the room, waited for a while, and then ran to the window, the staircase, and ......" and pointed to the window at the end of the corridor, and then to the staircase, "I looked at several places, but found nothing." But I still didn't believe in evil at the time, so I thought it was a prank. ”

"And then?" Tess felt in her heart that it was definitely not a prank, this Jerryne, I am afraid that it was also affected by the murals on the wall and the dream of Old Lady Seth.

And then ...... I searched everywhere, but of course I found nothing, and finally, I suspected that someone had moved into this room, so I entered the room. I didn't dare to go in directly, so I reached out and knocked on the door, and whispered to the house, 'Is anyone there?'"

Despite having guessed that no one was in the house, Tess couldn't help but ask, "Is anyone there?"

Jerry shook his head and said: "Of course there is no one, I asked several times, but no one answered, so I was sure that there was no one in the house, and I began to suspect that I didn't open the door before, in fact, it was just my own wrong operation, so I mustered up the courage and walked towards the house."
