Chapter 242: Nightmare
These cremated corpses really smell of barbecue.
The skeleton was getting closer and closer to me, and suddenly, he stretched out his ten claws and clamped down on my neck.
I couldn't breathe because of him, my face flushed, and my eyes rolled white.
I was about to suffocate, dying in this empty second-floor banquet hall, at the hands of this performer woman whose face I couldn't see clearly.
A cold sweat welled up on my forehead, and my limbs were struggling in the air, my legs thrashing desperately.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came to my ear.
That voice came from Niu Baiye!
There was a huge fleshy hand that kept slapping my back.
"Brother Xiao Wang, Brother Xiao Wang, Wang Zehan, what's wrong with you?"
I was pulled from danger to reality by this sudden sentence.
I opened my eyes suddenly, and I didn't think about it. The empty banquet hall, the female dancer who performed alone for me. The blackened skeleton. It turned out to be a dream of my own.
Niu Baiye sat up from the bed and turned on the lamp on the bedside table.
"My mother, Brother Wang, you have a nightmare!"
"Yes!"
I don't know what I've answered.
All I know is that my whole body is soaked with sweat.
I lay helplessly on the bed, my eyes fixed on the ceiling.
Take a big breath of unbridled recklessness.
In my dream, I was almost strangled to death by the skeleton.
I just felt like I was deprived of oxygen, and my body was limp like a puddle of mud.
Niu Baiye sat cross-legged beside me.
One hand touched my forehead, which was covered with cold sweat.
"What kind of nightmare are you doing? Keep screaming in your mouth, kicking your feet all the time.
This kicked me on the ground, almost kicking me to the ground. ”
I closed my eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, Brother Niu. I dreamed of being chased by a skeleton, but fortunately I was here. ”
Niu Baiye picked up his phone and glanced at the time.
"Yes, it's two o'clock in the middle of the night.
Just now, I was kicked by your heartless kick, and my sleepiness was completely gone.
This is also the night shift at the Huangquan Dumpling Restaurant all year round. The biological clock is chaotic, and when it comes to night, it is mental, and when it comes to day, it is so sleepy that I can't open my eyes.
Now, if it's normal time, it's also the time for us to work the night shift.
It's a pity that for so many years, I haven't said that the group has been built and traveled.
As soon as the turn came out, it was really a little uncomfortable. ”
I was scared by the nightmare just now, and I didn't feel sleepy.
But in this room, there is not even a 24-inch broken TV.
Luckily, there's also a big old-fashioned black radio on the bedside table.
I turned on the radio in boredom. All the squeaky chirping inside was the sound of snowflakes.
I pulled the antenna out and teased it.
Finally called up a radio station with sound. But all the words spoken in it are in Korean that we don't understand!
Niu Baiye half-leaned on the back of the bed and lit a cigarette casually.
Frowning, he smoked a cigarette and complained.
"It's a poor place! It's not interesting to stay at all. ”
I said too.
"The priority now is to find the arsonist.
Otherwise, we will really be trapped in this parallel time and space, and after three days, we will also be reduced to a coke with all the guests. ”
Suddenly, I heard the sound of pacing in the door of the hotel room.
It seems that there is also a woman babbling and singing some tune.
I closed my eyes and listened carefully. sang "Heavenly Monarch" on the stage on the second floor tonight.
Niu Baiye crossed Erlang's legs on the bed.
While smoking, he spat hard into the ashtray with thick phlegm.
"This group of Korean Hancheng people is too. The big night doesn't stop. Singing and dancing every day, this is to have fun all night 24 hours a day. ”
I frowned in confusion.
"What's the matter? You also heard a woman singing "Heavenly King"?"
Niu Baiye said.
"Isn't it the stinky show in the banquet hall on the second floor?
These people really have perseverance, singing from morning to night.
Over and over again, just like that. They don't get tired of singing, but I get tired of listening to it. ”
I suddenly slapped my thigh with my hand. Surprised.
"Brother Niu, this voice is wrong.
Tonight, in the banquet hall on the second floor of our house, I saw that the performer of the lead singer "Tianjun" was a man.
Now this voice is obviously coming from the mouth of a woman. ”
The voice is so familiar, so clear, so tactful, so long.
This voice. Isn't that the one I was hearing in my dream. Is the voice of the skeleton singing for my solo performance?
I immediately made up my mind.
"Brother Niu, there is something wrong with this voice, let's go out and have a look. ”
Now we are staying in the same hotel as we were 50 years ago.
The floor of this room is on the fourth floor. The soundproofing of this hotel is quite good, and it is the big wave that lives next door to us.
Big Wave gets up every morning and hangs every night before going to bed.
He is a graduate of the Yenching Conservatory of Music. If he doesn't sing a song anytime and anywhere, he feels uncomfortable.
But last night, before Niu Baiye and I went to bed, I didn't hear the sound of big waves and voices.
He didn't even hear the faint sound of bathing water coming from the bathroom of his house.
Suffice it to say that the soundproofing in this hotel is quite good.
Also, the banquet room is on the second floor.
We're on the fourth floor right now. There is also a third floor in between.
On the third floor is the meeting room and kitchen.
It stands to reason that we live in a room and never hear the sound of a performance on the second floor.
Therefore, the voice that Niu Baiye and I heard now must have come from our neighborhood.
In other words, there is a high probability that this voice is coming from outside our door.
Thinking of this, my hairs suddenly stood on end.
Just now, there was a woman. In other words, it should be a female ghost who has been dead for more than fifty years.
just lingered outside the door of me and Niu Baiye, singing "Heavenly Monarch".
Who is this woman? He lingered at our door repeatedly. and he scratched the door of our house with his fingernails.
They even sang at our door at two o'clock in the middle of the night.
The most important thing is that this woman can still enter my dreams. Turned into a black skeleton and tried to strangle me.
I snapped out of the bed and sat up.
"Brother Niu, why do I suddenly feel so scared?"
Niu Baiye slammed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray.
"Old man, what are you afraid of?
Don't worry, isn't this still me?"
With Niu Baiye by my side, I was immediately relieved.
This old cow is strong, bold, and skilled.
Staying by his side, I really have an inexplicable feeling of being protected.
This should be the sense of security that most girls want.
But I'm obviously an old man, and now I'm as delicate and shy as a young girl.
What the is going on?
I said to Niu Baiye.
"Brother Niu, you can go out with me to have a look. ”
Niu Baiye got up from the bed very righteously and put on a huge gray coat for himself.
"Let's go, don't worry, I'm here.
With your brother Niu here, nothing is unexpected. ”
Not to mention, this old cow is really hot. He is also down-to-earth and righteous.
It's a pity that this kid's life is not good. took advantage of his own future and married a beautiful lady like a flower.
As a result, he was also put on a sturdy green hat by that Fang raider.
I quickly got up and put on my clothes.
Just in case. I also took a fruit knife from my bedside table.
Niu Baiye and I opened the door one after the other.
Unexpectedly, the corridor was empty.
As far as the eye can see, the long corridor is clean and pure white.
You can only see the staircase at the corner not far away, connecting up and down.
"No, this ......!"
I scratched my head in surprise.
"I heard the sound of someone pacing in front of our door.
Even if no one lingers at our door, at least the woman's singing?"
Niu Baiye and I both held our breath and held our breath. Listen quietly with your ears.
I want to capture the source of that little bit of sound again.
However, the whole corridor was empty, quiet like a closed examination room for students in the college entrance examination.
Even a strand of hair falling off can be captured by me and Niu Baiyang immediately.
Yes, this corridor is too quiet, and the silence seems to be a little permeating.
