Chapter 25
I walked all the way towards the city, still did not see a car, the main road is just me alone, even the sound of footsteps seem extra loud.
Occasionally blowing through a cold wind, the roadside trees blowing rattling, I was already very sensitive these days, always can not help but probe to look at the shadow of those eerie trees, the heart is always hanging put down.
Walked for a while, listening to their own clattering footsteps, suddenly felt wrong up, I stepped down one step, but the sound of footsteps is two!
I started to think I had misheard before I paid very careful attention. I stepped down so softly that I couldn't even hear the sound myself, but there was still a "tah" sound at my side.
I looked back in disbelief, but behind me there was only the long highway, and the shadows of the trees that were being blown by the wind, and I couldn't see a single sign of anyone.
I looked around warily, after all, even if I hadn't stumbled upon a ghost, there was still a mugging and murdering maniac wandering around this town right now, so I couldn't afford not to be on my guard.
I took a step back slowly, and there was another "ta" sound, but this time it came from behind me, but very close, as if someone was sticking to my back.
I had goose bumps on my hands, and was considering whether to turn back, when the sound disappeared again.
I stood still and didn't dare to move, then I thought, my current situation is no better than a ghost, Ding Ding also said that I am a half-ghost, I have to be afraid first, my own momentum will be short. As the old saying goes, people are afraid of ghosts three times, and ghosts are afraid of people seven times.
If the person hiding nearby is a human, then I can only say sorry for scaring you. If a ghost, the big deal is that ghosts scare ghosts.
I think so in my heart, can not help but laugh, this road echoed the miserable laughter, I was laughing at myself chilled, think this occasion is really not right, but also think, I seem to be not so afraid of the beginning.
Just hit the ghost of those two days, see anyone is blindly run with eyes closed, now see more, seems to have the courage to resist. This might be what Tintin meant when he said that sooner or later you get used to it.
With a thought, my head flew up from my body, leaving only my body standing on the ground. As the saying goes, stand tall and see far, it's the same when the head flies high.
I suddenly feel that being a ghost is also quite beneficial, just like the way I am now, my head can freely fly out and retract, it is that this ghost died a miserable death ……
But I crouched in the air and looked toward all sides, and I didn't see any weird things nearby at all. Again, I think it may be that I am too nervous, and the night is too quiet, maybe it is a loud noise from somewhere.
I slowly raised my feet and continued to walk forward, but with every step I took, I could still hear the repetitive sound of footsteps ringing out, and just before I took a few steps, I stopped again.
The sound seemed to have been following me, and was extremely close, as if it was right next to me, but I still couldn't see any sign of anyone or ghosts.
I just thought it was strange, but suddenly I realized that there was something strange about the shadows on the ground; the streetlight was in front of me, and my shadow was hitting the back, dragging a long, long way, but at least I could make out a person's appearance.
The first glance is not too concerned, but on second thought, my head is still in the air, where is the head in the shadow on the ground! And I could tell from the shadow that the shadow had long hair, like a woman, and it wasn't me at all!
I tried to move my arm, the shadow on the ground also followed a little, I was surprised in my heart, if this shadow is connected to my body, then where did my own shadow run to?
I tentatively moved a few times, but the shadow of the woman on the ground repeated the same movement, and when I didn't move she didn't move either.
I waited for a while, thinking that the ghostly thing was not dangerous, and then I watched her while cautiously continuing forward.
The tada tada sound once again, I realized it was the sound of the shadow walking, every movement on the body is very coordinated, only her feet seem to be slow to hurt a beat, always after I landed on the ground before the shadow and the soles of my feet to fit together.
Walked not far, I suddenly saw the headlights in front of me, which realized that there is a cab is coming towards my side.
My heart was happy, busy head and body together, standing on the side of the road waiting for the car.
I was quite lucky that there was none in the car and it stopped just as soon as I waved. I stood by the side of the car and looked inside, it was a very naive looking master, told him the address and he was willing to go, so I got into the car.
When I got in the car, I also glanced at the shadow on the ground, it was still quiet and stayed where it was, there was nothing scary about it.
I got in the car and sat on the back seat, always feel that this position to be a little safer, after all, late at night, murder is not without that chance.
The driver and I have a sentence to chat, I realized that he is to send people to the airport, just back, just ran into me.
After chatting for a while, he suddenly asked me what I was doing out here in the middle of the night?
I smiled, to cover him, out to look for friends did not find, delayed for a long time did not find a car, but fortunately met you this valuable person.
He said, "I drive a taxi, what kind of a nobleman. And this line of work is not very safe, if not to see you kind face, a person in this road is also poor, I will not pull you.
I said right right, uncle you are right, a person in the outside well, be careful is always right.
The driver nodded, said yes, and recently the news always say that it is not peaceful, always remind the public to be careful, the public attention to safety.
I think this is the thing for that robber and murderer, then casually agreed to two sentences.
The driver said the rise, and then said, before that news you have not seen, in fact, the death of the girl it, think about quite poor.
I heard him seem to have something to say, so I asked, how uncle, you know this person ah.
He said not really know, just live in a neighborhood. Usually seen a few times, look quite beautiful, poor it, so young to go.
I heard a door, busy, I heard that her family has been buried, I do not know where to go?
The driver looked at me from the rearview mirror, said the young man quite good news.
I hemmed and hawed a smile, said it is not, in the Bureau of a friend, heard him talk about some.
He then "Oh" a sound, I thought he would not be testing me, but also worried that I am the murderer, so no longer speak.
He saw me silent, the car suddenly quiet, pause for a while, as if he could not resist the topic, only to continue to say, the family ah, crying can be miserable, you think during the day is still a living living person, the night is gone, but also died so tragically, the head is gone.
I thought to myself that the remnants of her head is still in my body, but it is a pity that you can not see.
The driver also said that the girl's family did not do anything about the funeral, everything is quite simple, but out of this, our neighborhood are a little hairy.
I laughed out loud and asked uncle are you afraid ah?
He said how not afraid, we drive a taxi in this line, also taboo these things. Usually nothing to listen to more ghost stories on the radio, these fucking write things always like to say what cab hit the ghost of things. If you listen to it too much, you'll be grossed out.
I said this is true, I used to take a taxi also heard a lot.
He also said, yes, so driving at night is actually quite hairy, the neighborhood and this kind of thing, always can not help but associate.
As soon as the driver got to this point, we circled into the city.
The city was full of lights, much brighter than the highway. The lights whipped past my face and the driver's words suddenly stopped.
I even heard him shiver.
I looked over at him strangely and realized he was also looking at me in the rearview mirror with a puzzled look on his face.
I asked what was wrong.
He froze for a moment before stuttering, no …… nothing …… looked at the eyes, thought there were two people sitting in the car.
As soon as I heard this, I felt quite out of place, so I turned my head toward my side, but found nothing.
Just as I looked up, the streetlight swung again and shone on me, and I suddenly also saw a projection in the mirror of what appeared to be a female person sitting beside me. The driver saw it too, and owled!
The foot brakes slammed on, and all of a sudden, he ran out of the car.
The car was parked under the streetlight, and I hurriedly looked at the empty seat beside me. But all I could see was the long-haired shadow, crookedly imprinted on the seat. Turning my head to look in the mirror in front of me again, I was shocked to realize that what shone out of it, was a black-haired, black-clothed woman, full of sadness, sitting right well beside me.
I also panicked for a moment, opened the door and jumped down. I didn't realize that the shadow was still following me around, but luckily it hadn't been doing anything out of the ordinary.
I turned my head to look at the driver, who was already screaming and running away. I have no way to this woman's shadow, I can only let her follow, and feel quite sorry for the driver, let him be scared once at night, I guess I won't dare to drive a night car in the future.
So escaped the money, pressed under the steering wheel, gave him some more.
Well not far from home, I walked back, all the way this shadow did not go, just follow me home.
I think this ghost and the previous encounter are different, other either seen once disappeared, or come up to attack, Wang kind of more special point.
This one, on the other hand, followed me all the way, not knowing what it wanted to do.
When I got home it was already five o'clock, but it was still dark, this shadow kept following, as long as there was light shining on me it appeared.
I gently pushed open the door to my house, the lock had been broken for a few days and hadn't been fixed until now, but there wasn't time to get a repairman over.
I go to the bathroom to use the toilet and wash my face with a real urge to headbutt it.
Behind me was just a shadow, but when I looked in the mirror, the woman with black hair and black clothes had been standing behind me. Looking at me with a face so full of ghostly grudges that it made one's scalp tingle.
It was a bit overwhelming to have to look at her movement almost every time I wiped my face. Luckily, like before, she didn't overstep her bounds except to keep following.
I tiptoed into the room and took a look, Lin Tian was sleeping heavily and there were some slight whistles.
This whole night of running around, I was so tired that I could almost fall back asleep.
But being followed by this shadow, still not quite at ease, and ran to knock on Ding Ding's door again.
Knocked for half a day, Ding Ding in the inside yelled, cursed death ah, still let people sleep.
I have been taught his wakefulness, so I did not talk to him, and directly said the current situation.
He listened to half a day after no movement, I stick on the door of the room to listen, only to realize that he even fell asleep again!
I rushed to wake him up, the results of his anger is even greater, directly yelled sleep your sleep, something I just said, this ghost is harmless!
After saying that, I do not know what to throw over, I only heard a boom on the door of the room, and said smash can not be my things.
But Ding Ding so I also feel relieved, this female ghost although let a person cautious panic, but since it is harmless, then I sleep well to my sleep.
I walked into the room and tried to keep my movements as quiet as possible, so that I wouldn't wake up Lin Tian and have to suffer from his waking up.
As a result, I just turned on the light, and Lin Tian suddenly sat up with a brush. I thought he had woken up, but his eyes were very disoriented, and after looking towards my shadow falling on the wall for a while, he suddenly collapsed again and continued to sleep.
Immediately followed by a shallow breathing sound, making me very puzzled. I always felt that there was something strange about Lin Tian's appearance, but I couldn't say where exactly it was strange.
