Episode 5 Chapter 043 Possession
After I fell asleep, I felt like I was falling, as if I was in an abyss that I could never reach the bottom of. I kept falling. Finally, I felt someone pulling me up, and the sharp feeling of falling suddenly disappeared. Then I suddenly returned to reality and woke up slowly.
When I woke up, I was standing in front of the window in the room, Shi Hu's hand was on my shoulder. The pulling feeling just now was him pulling my shoulder. I looked back at him and asked in confusion what happened. But Shi Hu looked at me and said that I looked scary just now.
I had no idea what was going on. I just kept looking at Shi Hu in confusion. Then I noticed the time. It was 3:33 again. It was this time again. It was obvious that my actions had woken up Shi Hu. Shi Hu said that I was about to jump out of the window just now.
I was surprised myself. This was the 21st floor. If I jumped down, there was absolutely no chance of survival. I felt that I was stuttering. I asked why I jumped down. Shi Hu said that I looked like a completely different person, totally different from my usual self. I asked if this was sleepwalking, but I didn't remember what dream I had. But Shi Hu said that this was not sleepwalking, but more like being possessed.
Possessed?!
I was startled and told Shi Hu not to scare me. Shi Hu said that I did look like him, but it was not very obvious, so he was not completely sure for the time being. He said that he had also seen my strange expression and movements in the video, but when he saw it in person, he found that they were still very different. What he saw in reality was even more frightening.
I asked him why he was scared, and Shi Hu said that I did scare him tonight because when he woke up, he saw me squatting in front of the bed, staring at him motionlessly. My eyes were very strange, and I had a weird smile on my face. Shi Hu described that expression as like a lion looking at a dying antelope.
Shi Hu continued to say that when he woke up, he did not dare to move, but opened his eyes and looked at me. I still looked at him like that, but gradually he found that my eyes began to change, and finally became unfocused, as if I saw somewhere, so I began to straighten up and walk towards the window. Shi Hu became alert, so he immediately turned over from the bed. After reaching the window, I stood quietly, just like that for a few minutes. Shi Hu stood by me from beginning to end. He said that at that time he just wanted to see what I was doing from a close distance. He said that my eyes were open and looking out the window, but my eyes were not focused on any one point.
Then I made a sharp dive toward the window. Shi Hu was quick to grab my shoulder and I woke up from the pulling. I listened to Shi Hu's description like a fairy tale and couldn't believe it was me. When Shi Hu saw that I was awake, he asked me to sit down by the bed and poured me a glass of water so that I could take a break.
I said I was fine, I was fine after I woke up, but the things Shi Hu told me were a little scary, and I was completely unaware of them, so I was a little scared. Shi Hu said it was a good thing he was sleeping next to me, if I was alone, I would have gone through the same old thing as Huang Weilun. I kept silent, and at this moment, my phone suddenly rang.
The phone rang suddenly, completely unexpectedly. I only saw the phone flashing on the bedside table. Shi Hu took the phone and gave it to me. I looked at the screen and broke into a cold sweat again, because the number on it was my own. I didn't dare to answer it, for fear that something bad would happen. Shi Hu asked me why I didn't answer the phone, so I showed him the screen and said that this was my own number, how could I call .
Shi Hu asked me to give him the phone and let him answer it. I hesitated and gave him the phone. After Shi Hu picked up the phone, he didn't say a word. He looked at me, but his expression was unusually serious. The most important thing is that he didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just listened quietly until the phone seemed to be hung up. He put down the phone. I was more nervous than him who answered the phone. I asked who was on the other end of the phone and what was said. Shi Hu said that the other end of the phone was completely blank, no sound came out, and finally the phone hung up by itself.
No sound?
Shi Hu said he had recorded the conversation, and then he played the recording for me. There was indeed no sound. However, what surprised both Shi Hu and me was that in the middle of the conversation, I heard a voice in the recording. It was Shi Hu's voice. He asked, "Who are you?"
But I was clearly standing next to Shi Hu just now, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, so it wasn't him who said it...
But Shi Hu said that there was no sound from the other end of the phone, and how could his voice appear on the other end?
In the second half of the night, Shi Hu and I were basically worried about this matter and did not sleep. At six o'clock in the morning, Shan Lanjin came knocking on the door. When he saw the state of Shi Hu and me, he asked what happened. It looked like we had not slept all night. I had to admire Shan Lanjin's sharp eyesight. Then Shi Hu told him what happened. Shan Lanjin said that he had only been there for one night and it was like this. If he stayed another night, it would be disastrous. Then he suggested that even if something bad happened in my family, I still had to go back, otherwise the matter would only get bigger and bigger.
Shan Lanjin asked Shi Hu again if there was anything else besides this. Shi Hu said no. Shan Lanjin said that was not a big deal and without saying anything else, he went back to his room. After Shan Lanjin left, I asked Shi Hu if they usually got up so early. Shi Hu said it had become a habit and there were too many things on hand and he didn't have much time to rest.
After that, I also washed up, but I didn't have much to do. I just watched Shi Hu sorting documents and reading files. Later, as the sky gradually brightened, Shi Hu said that we should go out to eat first, then go back to my house to see what was going on there, and then go to Master Nan's house to take a look.
It was still early when we got home, and when we went in, Lu Fei was on duty. He was a little puzzled to see me come back and asked me why I was not at home. I said I had something and couldn't come back, but Lu Fei continued to say that the lights in my house were on all night, and he seemed to see someone in my house when he passed by.
I listened and looked at Shi Hu. Lu Fei might have noticed that something was wrong with my face, so he told me that I should go back and see if there was a burglar. So I went back home with Shi Hu, feeling a little worried. As a result, I saw that the door was open when I got to the door. A bad idea came to my mind. Shi Hu and I walked into the house carefully. After scanning the room at the door, we found a person sitting on the sofa with his back to us. He looked familiar. Shi Hu and I walked in slowly. The person on the sofa heard someone coming in and turned around. It was Xiao Ma.
I looked at him in surprise and asked why he was here. He had been missing since his phone was dropped on the stairs that day. It was surprising that he suddenly appeared in my house. What was even more surprising was how he got in. The situation in my house had not changed at all. The marks like corpse marks were still there, and the round mirror on the coffee table had not been touched. It was still broken.
I asked Xiao Ma how he got in, and I saw a key on the coffee table, which seemed to be the key to my house. Xiao Ma said he didn't know where the key came from. He said he remembered that he was at my house that day, but why did he wake up in another room, and slept in the same bed as if he had slept for several days. After he came out, he realized that he was on the twelfth floor. Then he found that he was holding a key with a house number on it. It was my house, so he went downstairs knocked on my door, but no one answered, so he used the key to open the door.
I asked him when he was here, and Xiao Ma said last night, which means he sat on the sofa and waited for me all night. I just felt a little unbelievable, and at the same time a little uneasy, because Xiao Ma's condition was very worrying, and more importantly, his memory was not accurate, because he was clearly going to leave that day, but he disappeared completely after leaving. I didn't expect that he was really on the twelfth floor.
As he was talking, Xiao Ma suddenly took out something from the sofa. He said that someone had delivered it this morning. It seemed to be a courier or something. Because I was not at home, he signed for it on my behalf. I saw that it was a courier, the kind that was specially used to carry documents. I was a little puzzled. What kind of courier would come so early in the morning? And recently I always seem to receive some inexplicable couriers.
So I took the package and asked Xiao Ma if the person said who sent it. I looked at the information on the list and saw the sender was Liu Wangxing. This was sent to me by Old Man Liu. More importantly, I was stunned when I looked at the time, because this was a package from three years ago, and the time on it was three years ago!
I immediately looked at Shi Hu. Shi Hu was standing next to me and could see everything clearly. I just felt that I was telling Shi Hu in a changed voice that the letter he was talking about was not lost, it was the one I was holding in my hand now!
