Episode 7 Chapter 061 Night Visit
What was that thing in my room? Shan Ranjin kept it a secret for the time being. He said we should do it the other way around. I would stand behind the door and watch, and he would be the blind man and come to find me. I asked if this would work, and Shan Ranjin said let's try it. So I helped him put a black cloth over his eyes, and then took him to the guest room. Then I came out of the guest room and stood behind the door. I heard Shan Ranjin count to ten before he came out.
I stood behind the door and didn't dare to make a sound. Shan Ranjin knew I was standing there. I wondered if this game would be too deliberate to continue, but soon I felt that I was overthinking it, because I immediately heard the sound of slapping from the refrigerator in the kitchen, which obviously led Shan Ranjin there. I heard it clearly, but I didn't dare to make a sound. Shan Ranjin really walked to the refrigerator, but after he walked over, I heard footsteps coming from the kitchen to the living room. There were only footsteps, but no one was there.
But something unexpected happened at this time, because I seemed to hear the same footsteps in the corridor outside, and the footsteps in the living room sounded together. I listened carefully and felt that the footsteps reached my door and then stopped. I looked at Shan Lanjin while paying attention to the movement outside the door. I felt my heartbeat speed up. I don’t know if the same scene happened when Shan Lanjin stood here just now, but he didn’t say it was true just now.
While I was distracted, Shan Lanjin had already walked to the sofa, but I suddenly felt something was wrong, because Shan Lanjin walked into the sofa and was walking towards the coffee table, because I knew that was the hanging middle-aged man. My heart suddenly tightened. At the same time, I suddenly heard a few light knocks on . The knocking sound was very well controlled, just loud enough for me to hear. My mind immediately shifted from Shan Lanjin to outside the door. Who was outside the door? I thought it couldn't be a good person, otherwise why would he come to make trouble at this critical juncture.
When I looked again, Shan Lanjin had already walked around the sofa and was walking towards the room. I could hear another "pa, pa" sound of footsteps, but I didn't dare to say a word. Seeing Shan Lanjin walking to the door, I remembered that Shan Lanjin had just called me, so I was going to call him, but when I was about to speak, I felt like my mouth was covered by something and I couldn't speak. What's worse is that I can feel something behind me, but I can't see anything.
I watched Shan Ranjin enter my room, and then the door closed without him noticing. At the same time, I heard the door behind me creak open by itself, without the handle being turned or the lock being locked, as if it was just half-closed and then opened.
I felt a gust of cold wind blowing in, and I felt a force pulling me towards the door. The force was so strong that I didn't have any room to resist. I wanted to shout but all I could hear was "Ha, ha" panting sound, and no sound came out at all. Then I watched myself being dragged out to the corridor outside the door. The corridor was completely dark, and the voice-controlled light showed no sign of turning on. I could only hear the sound of myself being dragged, a "rustling" sound, and then I heard a slight sound of the door being closed and the sound of the lock core jumping. My door just closed like that.
The sound of the lock cylinder jumping made the voice-activated light in the corridor light up. I saw a person standing in the depths of the corridor. I could barely see his figure. Then I was dragged to the corridor. When I entered the corridor, the force restraining me suddenly disappeared, and even the force dragging me disappeared. The force disappeared , and I fell to the ground with a dull sound.
I immediately got up from the ground and ran home desperately, but when I got to the corridor, I found that the corridor had completely changed. There were only walls but no doors. I walked in as if I had entered a gap, and even the corridor behind me disappeared. I looked around anxiously, and there were only dark corridors on both sides, with only that dark shadow in the depths, seemingly watching me all the time.
So I ran towards him, but no matter how I ran I could not reach the end, and I could not get close to him. The more I ran, the weaker I felt, and the less I knew where I was. Then, I woke up suddenly, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself leaning against the corridor outside, and Shan Lanjin was squatting in front of me.
I looked at the corridor, which was normal, as if I had returned to reality. I asked Shan Lanjin what happened to me. Shan Lanjin looked at both sides of the corridor, helped me up from the ground, and said we should go in first. After entering the room, Shan Lanjin closed the door. I sat down on the sofa in a daze. I clearly remembered that I was pulled out and came back, as if everything was real. How could I faint? I remembered the situation when Shan Lanjin was taken to the room, and I asked him if he was okay.
Shan Lanjin shook his head and said it was okay, but he said I scared him. I seemed to be possessed just now, sitting in the corridor with my eyes rolled back and kicking my legs. He finally managed to steady me, and then I woke up. He asked me why I suddenly ran out when I was fine behind the door just now.
I told him what happened just now, but Shan Lanjin seemed confused. He asked how could this happen, and I shouldn't be like this. Seeing Shan Lanjin's confusion, I asked him how he got out of the room after entering. When I asked this, Shan Lanjin's expression suddenly became serious. He said he almost got tricked, and he said I should go in and take a look myself.
He then led me to my room, and when I reached the door, I saw the whole room was in a mess. The books on the table, quilts, pillows and other things were scattered all over the floor. I looked at Shan Lanjin and asked if he did it. Shan Lanjin nodded, but shook his head and said that it must be the thing in my room that did it, and it got on him just now.
I was stunned. Even Shan Lanjin was possessed. The situation seemed to be getting more and more weird. But Shan Lanjin said it was nothing. He woke up soon, so it was not a problem now. During this time, he seemed to see something. I asked him what he saw. Shan Lanjin said that after he was possessed, he seemed to see someone. I asked who it was. Shan Lanjin hesitated and said it was me.
I was a little confused, but Shan Lanjin went on to say, I thought the reason why he woke up after being possessed by the ghost was because he saw me. Then I pushed him, and this push made him completely sober. He hurriedly took off the black cloth on his eyes, and then saw the mess on the ground.
I was even more confused and just asked, "It was me?" But why was it me? I had clearly been dragged to the corridor at that time, and I didn't know what did it. It seemed that it was telling me not to help Shan Lanjin. Shan Lanjin himself seemed to be unable to figure out what was going on. In the end, he just told me that it seemed that Shi Hu was right to let me be a psychic consultant, and that I could save lives at the critical moment.
After that, Shan Lanjin and I returned to the sofa, and Shan Lanjin asked me for a piece of white paper and a pen. He drew three dots on the white paper. He said that one dot represented a thing lurking in my house, one was in the living room, one was behind the door, and one was in the room. He asked a question, why the paper man I carried back from 721 was always behind the door, while the hanged middle-aged man was always hovering around the sofa, and why the thing in the room was so fierce.
Shan Rankin further analyzed that is it possible that the things in the room have always been there, and may have always existed in this room, or may have always been with me, so naturally, when I entered the room, it was there. As for the other two, the one behind the door was brought back by me, so how did I bring it back, and when did I bring it back?
I felt that I could not keep up with Shan Lanjin's thinking at all. It was not until this time that I realized that Shan Lanjin came to me tonight with full preparation and planning. It was not until I asked this that Shan Lanjin said, "I have to go to work at the funeral home tomorrow, but there are things at home that don't want me to go. At present, I don't know which of the three people who are preventing me from going, but no matter who they are, the purpose is very obvious, which is to prevent me from getting in touch with the secrets of the funeral home. In other words, at least one of them is from the funeral home."
So Shan Lanjin fumbled around on the sofa, and then he broke the sofa apart, but the sofa was sewn together. Shan Lanjin took a fruit knife from the coffee table and told me that he would compensate me with a sofa. Then he stabbed it with the knife and cut the leather of the sofa. He tore the gap open and widened it. Finally, I saw him take something out from it. I saw it clearly. It was nothing else but an urn.
He said there was something else, so he reached in again and took out a pair of black and white cloth shoes, which were the same pair that often appeared inexplicably in my house. I looked at the cloth shoes in Shan Lanjin's hand and the urn on the table, and my face turned pale.
But Shan Ranjin looked like he had expected this. I heard him tell me that if he just took another look at what was behind my door, he could basically guess what the thing in my room was.
