Episode 3 Chapter 27 Supernatural
Just as Master Nan said, this night would not be peaceful. I thought it was over, but I found that it was only the beginning after the two guards left.
I don't know if they didn't notice it when they came in or when they left, but when I closed the living room door, I found that the rice noodles inside the door were trampled and there were gaps. The incense sticks were still well inserted, and I quickly gathered the messy rice. I thought it should be fine, but I didn't know that I had thought a lot of different things.
When I sat back on the sofa and told my mom and them about this, my mom and dad had both heard what the security guard had just said, which made them worry about me again. However, they did not mention moving like Li Ming and his wife did, probably because Master Nan's words were deeply rooted in their minds.
As we were talking about this , there was a sudden loud kicking sound on the door, "bang bang bang". In my mother's words, it was like murder and arson. The attention of the three of us was drawn to it, but no one wanted to open the door. Finally, my father couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up and asked who could do this in the middle of the night, so he wanted to open the door angrily.
My mother had called my father before me, saying that it was not right to open the door in the middle of the night. Just let it kick the door. As long as the door was not broken, it would be fine. What if it was an evil spirit? Wouldn't opening the door welcome them all in?
My dad just stood there in a daze, then returned to sit on the sofa with interest. The sound of kicking the door continued for about the same time as last time, and then it stopped. We couldn't sleep in the second half of the night. Maybe it was because we had seen it so many times, we were not as scared as we were at the beginning. Instead, we became unusually calm.
Then, my phone started ringing.
I looked at the incoming call and it was Shi Hu. I didn't know why he called so late at night. After hesitating for a moment, I picked up the phone. As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard Shi Hu's anxious and panting voice. The first thing he asked was if I was okay.
Shi Hu called me in the middle of the night definitely not to ask such a question. I replied that everything was fine. When Shi Hu heard me say that everything was fine and heard my tone, he said that something must have happened. So I briefly told him about kicking the door and the dummy. As soon as I finished speaking, Shi Hu said on the phone that he had called me several times but couldn't get through. It was only now that he finally got through. He said he was on his way to my house and would be there soon.
He seemed to want to say something, but his voice suddenly disappeared. I thought he had hung up, but it didn't seem like that because there was still a rustling sound on the phone. Then I heard the familiar gloomy voice: "Did you find it?"
This voice appeared suddenly, and I was so scared that I immediately put away the phone and hung up the call quickly. It was the same voice last time, and it was asking the same question. I didn’t know what was going on.
Shi Hu came very quickly. He arrived at my house about 20 minutes after I hung up the phone. Seeing how tired he looked, I felt a little uneasy. When he arrived at my house and saw that my parents and I were sitting well on the sofa, he breathed a sigh of relief. I asked him what happened and it seemed like he thought something might happen to me in the middle of the night. He said he was just worried about me, so he came to check on me.
But I felt that Shi Hu was not telling the truth. I immediately realized that it was because my father and mother were next to him, so I did not continue to ask. I asked him to sit down and told him that the guard had just come and mentioned the woman he mentioned. Shi Hu's reaction was very calm, as if he had known about it for a long time.
He also said that my family's affairs had nothing to do with this woman and asked me not to think too much about it. He said that he did know about it a long time ago, but he didn't tell me because he knew it had nothing to do with my family's affairs.
I said this was strange, how did he know it had nothing to do with my family? Shi Hu said that Master Nan felt the presence of this woman the first time he came here, but Master Nan didn't say anything. It was because Master Nan also saw it, so Master Nan said that and asked me to stay away from the seventh floor. The implication was that the roots of my family were still on the seventh floor.
After hearing what Shi Hu said, I felt that all my random guesses just now fell apart in an instant, and at the same time, I became even more confused about the seventh floor and Old Man Liu.
As for the one who kicked the door, Shi Hu said that he didn't see the dummy by the door when he was at my door. I said it was impossible, and then I thought of the one on the windowsill, so I told him about my room and asked him to come in. Dad and Mom were sitting on the sofa, not with us. When they came to the room, I was shocked again, because during the time I was away, the dummy had been lying on the bed, lying motionless on the bed.
If Shi Hu hadn't been there, I would have had the urge to leave the room immediately. Shi Hu was sharp-eyed. He asked why there was a pair of shoes under the windowsill. I told him about the shoes and what I saw, and Shi Hu stopped talking. I don't know if he couldn't think of anything to say, or if he had already formed some ideas in his mind. Then he walked to the window sill, but the person under the street light had disappeared. He turned around and asked me if I saw the person standing under the street light. I nodded and said I saw him.
After saying that, Shi Hu walked to the bedside. He looked at the dummy carefully but did not touch it. Instead, he asked me if I had a camera. I thought he wanted to take a picture, so gave him the camera. However, after Shi Hu took the camera, he turned on the recording mode and put the camera on the desk, facing the bed. Then he asked me to go out with him and closed the door when he went out.
I asked Shi Hu if he wanted to record the traces of the mannequin's activities, but Shi Hu shook his head and said he wanted to record something else.
After Shi Hu came, the door was kicked no more. We sat like this for almost the whole night. Finally, at dawn, my father and mother were busy cleaning up. I also washed up simply because I had to take my father and mother to the station to buy tickets later. Shi Hu said that I would go first and he would stay at my house. In the morning, he and I returned to the room. The dummy was still lying on the bed, as if it had never moved. Shi Hu turned off the video, pulled out the memory card and inserted it into his computer.
Shi Hu told me to be careful when driving and that he would wait for me at my house. I told him to be careful too and I sent my parents off. I went to the station to buy tickets and got on the bus. Everything went smoothly. After two hours of hard work, I sent my parents off. It was almost ten o'clock when I drove back. I bought some food and went back. When I got home, Shi Hu was watching the computer and seemed to be watching a recorded video. He put down the computer when he saw me come back and asked if my parents were gone.
I said I went back, Shi Hu said that his father and mother were there last night and he couldn't say anything, Master Nan seemed to have encountered something last night, so he was worried about me and rushed over. I was shocked and asked what Master Nan encountered. Shi Hu said that Master Nan called him in the middle of the night and said that he felt like something followed him back home, and if nothing unexpected happened, this thing should have been in my house.
I couldn't help but worry about the master and asked him if he was okay. Shi Hu said that he had contacted him by phone after I left in the morning, and he was fine now, but was followed by this thing, which meant that his arrival had alarmed the things here, so I was afraid that it would be bad for me.
After saying that, he pushed the computer to me, pointed to several videos in a folder and told me to take a look first. These were all edited by him, and all the boring scenes had been filtered out.
Then he took the things I bought and sat on the sofa to eat. I clicked on the videos one by one, and I found that without Shi Hu's guidance, I couldn't see the key points of these videos at all. With Shi Hu's prompt, I saw a shadow moving under the bed, as if it was a shadow left by someone walking, but there was no one in the room at that time. Shi Hu pointed outside the window and asked me what I saw.
I looked for a while but couldn't see anything, then Shi Hu clicked to zoom in and moved to the window, and then I saw a head on top of the window!
Shi Hu said that this thing was present throughout the entire video and had never disappeared, which meant that it was there all night and had not moved at all. So Shi Hu said that it was very likely that this thing was staring at me every night without me knowing it.
I just felt a chill rising from my spine. Being stared at motionlessly by such a thing every night made me shiver all over just thinking about it. In addition, the figure I saw that night seemed to be in that range. Could it be that thing?
