Ten o'clock in the middle of the night, boys' dormitory.
"Zhao Lun calls his girlfriend in the middle of the night every day and doesn't care about our feelings at all. I can't sleep well lately. I really can't stand it anymore."
Lin Le glanced in the direction of the bathroom and complained to the others in a low voice.
"Aren't all couples in love like this?" I answered while scrolling through the video, but even though I said that,
But I felt really unhappy.
Xu Jing didn't make a sound. He just tiptoed to the bathroom door and listened to the noise. Then he walked towards us and whispered: "How about this? While the guy is taking a shower, let's pull out his mobile phone card to save the time."
He called again."
I hesitated: "Isn't this good..."
"What's wrong,
He doesn't care about our feelings, so what if we make a joke with him? I'll pay him back when the time comes."
Lin Le curled his lips,
He nodded and said, "I agree."
"Okay, but don't let anyone destroy the phone card." I said helplessly.
About ten minutes later, the sound of running water in the bathroom became quieter, and Zhao Lun's voice came from inside, wondering: "No, why did you turn off the lights in the bedroom?"
He groped his way from the balcony into the bedroom, in the dark, and seemed to have bumped into something.
We all pretended to be asleep and no one said anything.
After a while, I suddenly heard movement next to me and knew that Zhao Lun had walked under his bed, probably looking for his cell phone at this time.
I couldn't help but slow down my breathing,
After all, I just did something wrong,
I always feel a little guilty.
Suddenly, a string of cheerful music sounded. This was Zhao Lun’s favorite cell phone ringtone.
However, to me at this time, it seemed particularly harsh.
Isn't this Zhao Lun's cell phone ringtone?
But his mobile phone card has obviously been unplugged, how could there be a call coming in?
I opened my eyes and saw that Zhao Lun was putting the lit screen of his mobile phone to his ear, his mouth opening and closing silently, and it was hard to tell what kind of expression he had on his pale face.
"Hello?"
With one of his movements, the ringing suddenly ended, and he seemed to have really received a call.
I suddenly shuddered. My phone without card could actually answer calls. What was that thing on the other end of the phone? Was it really a person?
Under the bed, Zhao Lun seemed to be really talking to someone on the phone. He chatted in a low voice and laughed from time to time. It looked particularly weird in the night, just like a cat's claws scratching the glass, which made people shudder.
I just felt creepy and noticed that there was no movement from the other two roommates. I wondered if they were also frightened.
I was about to turn over slightly to observe Zhao Lun better, but unexpectedly I bumped into the bed frame.
There was a moderate noise, but just this sound made the entire dormitory instantly become extremely silent, as if the mute button had been pressed.
"Shh..."
"It turns out that my roommates are not asleep yet, please wait a moment."
After a long while, Zhao Lun was heard speaking softly into his cell phone, "Let's not talk now. Let's wait until they fall asleep and then continue talking... okay?"
His voice was particularly cold, with a weird smile. I felt my scalp numb. I couldn't help but secretly opened my eyes and found that the dormitory had become dark and the screen of Zhao Lun's mobile phone was no longer bright.
The dormitory was completely silent. I tried my best to listen, but I couldn't even hear anyone else's breathing.
It was as if...as if everyone else had turned into corpses.
"What are other people thinking and planning to do? Are you just pretending to be asleep? Zhao Lun doesn't seem normal. Is the person calling him really a human being..."
I was so confused that I had to try my best to keep my breathing steady and pretend to be asleep.
I didn't dare to move. I don't know how long it took. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. I planned to open my eyes to confirm the situation.
I quietly turned my head and squinted my eyes. Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened my eyes, the fluorescence of the mobile phone screen immediately appeared in front of my eyes.
Zhao Lun's face was pale, with a weird smile on his face. When he saw me opening my eyes, he immediately closed the distance a little bit, and his nose was almost touching my face——
But I couldn't feel his breathing.
"Aren't you asleep yet...?"
"ah!"
I screamed and shrank back in fear, pressing my body against the cold wall, looking at the face in horror.
This guy actually kept lying next to my bed and looking at me!
But why is there no sound?
"Hahaha, no, no, no, I'm going to die laughing!"
Suddenly, Zhao Lun's figure disappeared, and the light in the dormitory was turned on. He pointed at me and laughed, laughing so hard, "Don't think that I don't know, you still plan to tease me like this, I'm so scared."
Bar?"
Xu Jing and Lin Le got up from the bed one after another, with doubts and annoyance on their faces, as well as a hint of fear: "I'll go, you kid actually scares us like this, but it's wrong, your phone card is gone, what's the ringtone?"
Noisy?"
We all stared at Zhao Lun with shock and uncertainty in our hearts.
Zhao Lun suppressed a laugh, and then said angrily: "Who doesn't have music on the phone? I heard what you said in the bathroom. You want to punish me for speaking so loudly. I'm dumbfounded."
We knew we were in the wrong and couldn't argue with him, so we returned the phone card to Zhao Lun, turned off the lights, and started playing with our phones.
The bedroom became quiet.
Looking at the light emitted by the mobile phone and the three pale faces in the darkness, I couldn't help but shudder.
I don’t know if it was my imagination, but I felt that the way Zhao Lun answered the phone was not an act, and when he was next to my bed just now, I seemed to really hear a strange female voice——
Gentle but cold.
…
We all slept very late last night. Fortunately, there was no class the next morning, so I slept until eleven o'clock and found that everyone else was still sleeping.
I woke up a few people and paid special attention to Zhao Lun, but found that there was nothing weird about him, so I had to put aside my doubts.
We walked towards the cafeteria and looking at the couples coming and going, I suddenly felt confused.
The relationship between Zhao Lun and his girlfriend seems to be very good, but why have we never seen any trace of this girlfriend’s existence?
Whether it is for daily meals or some important festivals, it seems that Zhao Lun has never gone out to accompany this so-called girlfriend.
Could it be that... this girlfriend was a figment of his imagination? I frowned and had more doubts in my mind, why didn't we realize such an obvious problem before?
...This isn't quite right.
I looked at Zhao Lun, and he happened to look at me and smiled at me. I immediately withdrew my gaze. His appearance last night still left me with lingering fears.
We were eating when Xu Jing suddenly pointed in one direction and winked: "Look, beautiful Su."
Su Rou is the monitor of our class. She also noticed us, nodded and smiled, and said hello to us.
"She is alone. Maybe she doesn't have a boyfriend. Do you think I have a chance?" Lin Le asked.
"You must be in trouble, you still need to see me." Xu Jing shook his head seriously.
Zhao Lun immersed himself in taking two mouthfuls of rice, then suddenly stood up without saying a word, thought for a moment, handed the phone to me again, and said, "Hold it for me first."
Then he walked straight towards Su Rou.
"Let me go, this guy already has a girlfriend and is still so carefree, what a scumbag!"
I didn't pay attention to my roommate's complaints, but suddenly looked at the phone in his hand.
Perhaps it was because Zhao Lun had just triggered the fingerprint unlock, but the interface was still on the homepage. I hesitated for a moment and clicked on the call history.
Zhao Lun and Su Rou didn't know what they were talking about, and they came back after a while. I ate in silence and returned the phone to Zhao Lun.
"You beast, you are eating what's in the bowl and still thinking about what's in the pot."
"He's just not a human being."
Lin Le and Xu Jing attacked him crazily.
Zhao Lun looked at us with confusion and said, "What are you talking about?"
Without waiting for their answer, I couldn't help but ask: "Um, do you have the habit of deleting call records?"
"No, why delete the record if you have nothing to do?"
The three of them shook their heads and wondered why I asked this question.
I lowered my head and glanced at Zhao Lun with the corner of my eyes, sweating all over my body.
Zhao Lun's call history does not contain any call records from the past few nights, and there is no note similar to his girlfriend's in his contacts.
If Zhao Lun did not lie, there are only two possibilities, one is that he has severe delusions, and the other is that the person who was talking to him...
Not human!
No matter which situation it is, it's scary to think about it.
I didn't tell others about Zhao Lun's weirdness, because he didn't usually behave too strangely. At the same time, I also thought of the third possibility.
Is it because he is too face-saving that he made up a girlfriend just to make us envious and jealous?
After all, we are all single...
I hope so.
Today is the weekend. I came to a place far away from school to work part-time. After working hard all morning, I was about to find a restaurant for a meal, but I found that the nearby buildings seemed familiar.
I thought about it, and then I remembered that Zhao Lun's home was not far away. He took us here once last year.
Zhao Lun didn't stay in the dormitory over the weekend. He should have gone home. Why don't we go find him now and maybe see his girlfriend?
I was really curious about Zhao Lun's condition, so I immediately came to his door and knocked on the door.
After a few seconds, the door opened.
At a glance, I saw Zhao Lun sitting on the sofa in the living room far away, smiling at me: "You are so free today, why did you come to me?"
"I work part-time around here." I looked around, casually came to sit on the sofa, and asked, "Are you home alone?"
"What are you talking about? Aren't there three people in the room?"
Zhao Lun was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head and his voice became a little strange.
I was startled, looked around again, and then smiled: "What, you want to scare me again? It's obvious that there are only two of us."
"I said it was three people."
Zhao Lun's voice became a little shrill, he raised his head and his tone was unusually calm.
I was startled. I was too far away to see clearly before. Only then did I see half of Zhao Lun's face clearly. It was a face that had been painted pale, with a scarlet red mouth that extended to the corners of his mouth, like
The remaining blood.
"Damn it, are you wearing makeup?"
I moved a little to the side and instantly confirmed my thoughts... This guy is indeed sick.
"I don't have makeup on. It's my girlfriend who puts on makeup, okay?"
Zhao Lun's voice suddenly returned to normal and he said angrily.
"Hello."
Before I could speak, he spoke again, but his posture changed to that of a little woman, and his voice became shrill.
When this kind of look appeared on a man, coupled with the makeup that I couldn't bear to look at, I just felt extremely sick, and at the same time a little scared, not knowing what was going on with this guy.
"Your girlfriend... is so beautiful." I forced a smile.
Zhao Lun didn't speak, just stared at me.
The air is quiet and the atmosphere is strange.
After a while, he suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha, you kid has been deceived again. I am the only one in the family. You really believe everything I say."
As he spoke, he began to remove his makeup.
"You're so boring. I'll leave first if I have something else to do."
I have no intention of getting involved with him, who knows what he will do next.
As for what he said, I didn't believe it at all. Who would put on makeup at home just to scare others? Besides, he didn't know I was coming...
Isn't it a split personality?
When I left his house and saw the clear sky, I couldn't help but feel a little better. But I don't know why, but I always felt a little uneasy and felt that I had overlooked something.
What exactly is it...
I remembered Zhao Lun's smile when he opened the door, and his strange behavior, and suddenly I felt creepy——
Wait, Zhao Lun was clearly sitting on the sofa when I opened the door. I didn't hear any footsteps at that time, and it was impossible for him to open the door and run back so quickly at such a distance, so...
