When it comes to the puppet, Fang Ting is full of questions.
What was so strange about it? Not only did Qu Ya lose his sense of proportion, but Cheng Zhan's attitude towards the puppet was also different.
"You just said it was a shadow. What do you mean?" Fang Ting asked Cheng Zhan.
Cheng Zhan thought for a long time and said to Fang Ting, "Some things are difficult to explain to you, but I can tell you clearly that the shadow you saw in the room before was not an illusion."
Fang Ting was excited.
"You're talking about shadows, not people?"
"not human."
Fang Ting felt like her scalp was exploding. To be honest, she did feel that it was more like a shadow at that time, but it was obviously a human figure. How could that shadow exist independently? It must be someone who has a shadow.
Now Cheng Zhan's meaning is clear, he is just a shadow!
She would rather she saw a human being at that time. Even if it was an elusive figure, she would recognize it. At least it was the same kind. That shadow... what on earth was it?
She didn't know how to ask these words, and she always had a vague premonition in her heart that many things were beyond her scope of cognition. Once she really got to the bottom of it, she might fall into an irreversible situation.
Finally, she murmured, "If it's a shadow, then what... does it want to do?" This was the only question she could ask.
But this issue is critical.
Cheng Zhan thought with his eyebrows, "Maybe it's looking for a host."
Fang Ting trembled.
Lao Guan couldn't sleep, so he saw the three of them still sitting in the coffee area chatting, so he put some snacks on a wooden plate and brought them over. When he put the plate down, he glanced upstairs and saw that the lights in Qu Ya's room were already turned off.
"That girl Qu Ya, I think she's very thoughtful. We've been friends for many years. It's normal to bicker. Don't take it seriously." He advised Fang Ting.
But Fang Ting didn't hear Lao Guan's words at all and didn't react at all. Her mind was filled with Cheng Zhan's words "It's looking for a host."
Yes, the shadow is virtual and the body is real. Only when the body is found can the shadow continue to exist.
But listen to this...
"Isn't this just looking for a substitute!" Fang Ting reacted, her eyes full of horror, "It's like an innocent soul wasted in vain and has to find a substitute before he can be reincarnated!"
Lao Guan was next to him. He originally wanted to go back to sleep after delivering the food. He was startled when he heard this, and reflexively asked Fang Ting, "What, why are you looking for a substitute?"
It was okay that he didn't speak. As soon as he said this, Fang Ting suddenly reacted, stared at Laoguan, and blurted out -
"The previous inn——"
"It has nothing to do with this kind of thing." Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhan interrupted Fang Ting's words very promptly and lightly, and at the same time left a trail of words.
As expected, Fang Ting didn't care about his blocking her from questioning Laoguan about old things, and her attention was focused on what he said.
"What does that have to do with?" She was impatient and frowned, "Unidentified creatures? Alien invasion? It doesn't seem as convincing as an innocent soul seeking his life."
"There are many things in this world that are difficult to explain." Cheng Zhan smiled, perhaps because he was amused by her irritable look. In short, the corners of his mouth were curved.
"Since I intervened, I will take care of it to the end, don't worry."
So, strangely, Fang Ting felt that the fire of fear in her heart was extinguished.
But Lao Guan was confused and asked him, "What on earth is that?"
Cheng Zhan looked up at him and asked him a question -
"Have you seen the doll Qu Ya brought back before?"
Lao Guan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, saying that he had never seen it before.
Fang Ting asked another one about this question, "Then there must be a place where I can buy it, right?"
Fang Ting's face was grave, "That's what someone else gave her? Who would give her such an unlucky thing? She must be unkind!"
…
"If it has anything to do with Qin Laosan's matter, could it be that Sister Qin San gave it to me?"
It was late at night, and Si Ye couldn't sleep, so he ran to the house again.
Cheng Zhan had just taken a shower, so he didn't rush to open the door when he saw him knocking on the door. When he was let in, Cheng Zhan had already put on a wide T-shirt and big shorts, and his hair was still wet. He sat down and held the
Wipe hair with towel.
Si Ye looked at his body, which was strong and smooth. He didn't look like a weak scholar at all. At least he was very agile when he broke into Qin Laosan's fur shop at night.
Cheng Zhan just let his eyes roll around, snoring three times to make his hair look better, and said to Si Ye, "Looking at it now, there is a high probability that Fang Ting said that Qu Ya went into the fur shop."
"Judging from the time, when Fang Ting saw it, Qu Ya's doll was already in her hands."
Cheng Zhan nodded, "So it's very likely that Qu Ya has been in contact with the fur shop for a long time."
This is quite strange.
Si Ye simply turned his face to look at him, half-smiling but not smiling.
Cheng Zhan leaned lazily on the back of his chair and said calmly, "It would be more interesting to see it with your own eyes."
"Can I see it with my own eyes?" Si Yexiao asked.
"Of course." Cheng Zhan said, "Maybe, soon."
…
Si Ye didn't know how fast Cheng Zhan said it, but in short, he fell asleep soon after he returned to the room.
But he actually knew very well that being able to touch the pillow was not because he was sleepy at all, but because there was "someone" looking for him.
He was dreaming.
It was like a dark tunnel, with only fireflies of light floating in the air in small clusters.
There was a person sitting in the middle of the tunnel.
There was a girl with her back to him and her hair disheveled.
Wearing a jacket, squatting there.
It was also dark in front of her, and she couldn't see the end of the tunnel. It looked like she could just keep walking until she reached the point of no return in the underworld.
He came closer and squinted slightly to try to see clearly, "Sijia Yi?"
The girl slowly turned back.
It was obviously a very dark environment, but fireflies flew over and landed scatteredly on her hair, and her face was clearly visible.
It’s Qu Ya!
Her face looked sad and her mouth was moving, as if she wanted to say something to him.
Si Ye walked forward, wanting to hear clearly.
But no matter how he walked, there was always some distance between him and Qu Ya. She was obviously sitting there without moving, but he couldn't get close to her.
Finally he stopped and stared at her mouth.
She is saying: Save me.
Si Ye's eyes moved away from her, and through the bright lights in the tunnel, he saw a person standing at the corner.
He is an older man.
Wearing a coarse cloth gown and dark trousers.
He was hunched over and drooping his head, tilting his head slightly, as if looking this way, and his two arms were slightly bent, a very strange posture.
After all, it was still too dark.
It was too dark to see clearly the man's appearance, but Si Ye had a vague premonition in his head.
He was immersed in the darkness, so unreal that he didn't even look like a human being.
Like a shadow.
When Si Ye opened his eyes suddenly, he heard Fang Ting screaming. The sound echoed in the empty inn, which sounded quite scary.
He sat up immediately, got out of bed, grabbed some clothes and went out.
Fang Ting's newly opened room is on his right, and the innermost room is the room she chose herself, so it's quiet.
There was no one at the inn, so her desire to be quiet was just an excuse. In fact, she just wanted to stay away from Qu Ya.
There was no light on in the room, so Fang Ting could only be heard shouting.
The door at the other end also opened, and it was Cheng Zhan who rushed towards Fang Ting's room without saying a word, Si Ye followed closely. Lao Guan also heard the noise and hurried up from downstairs again.
I kept asking what was wrong.
There was no movement in Quyana's house, not even the lights were on.
But no one cared whether Qu Ya was sleeping too soundly or something else, their attention was all on Fang Ting.
The door is locked and cannot be opened.
Fang Ting screamed in surprise in the room, obviously she was frightened.
Cheng Zhan asked Lao Guan if he didn't have a spare key. Lao Guan nodded repeatedly and said yes, and turned around to go downstairs to get it. Si Ye said, "What time are you wasting?"
He raised his leg and kicked the door open.
The room was too dark and the curtains were tightly blocked. You couldn't even see where Fang Ting was, so you could only locate her by the sound. Cheng Zhan touched the switch next to the door and clicked it twice, but the light didn't turn on.
Lao Guan shook his head from behind, and Cheng Zhan whispered, "Turn on the lights in the hall."
He hurried to the switch.
Fang Ting in the room suddenly stopped talking.
Just as Si Ye was about to go in, Cheng Zhan reached out to stop him, indicating to him to observe the environment first.
As soon as he calmed down, Si Ye felt that there was a cool air in the room, as if the air conditioner was turned on, and the cold air rushed straight to the door.
The curtains in the room are moving.
Then he raised it slightly, and through the raised corner, he discovered that the window was not open at all.
"Fang Ting." Cheng Zhan called her.
There was a whimper inside, "Cheng Zhan, Si Ye...save me!"
The voice sounded very strange, as if the voices of two people were mixed together. Si Ye recognized that one of the voices was Qu Ya.
Thinking of his previous dream, he pushed Cheng Zhan's hand away and stepped inside.
Cheng Zhan shouted urgently, "Be careful!"
But it was too late, and Si Ye was thrown out. Cheng Zhan quickly grabbed him with his quick eyes, and he fell to the ground, thus avoiding the possibility of falling downstairs.
Si Ye got up from the ground and leaned on him. The fall was not light, at least he was grinning.
"what's the situation?"
Cheng Zhan approached the door.
There was obviously nothing in front of him, but when he stretched out his hand, he could see the flash of blood. The blood seemed to form a wall, making it impossible for anyone to enter.
There is also liquid flowing down in the direction. At first glance, it looks like bleeding. How to describe it? It is not an exaggeration to say that this door is bleeding, but this situation is too bizarre and weird.
The people in the room were still crying, crying in fear, and occasionally screaming.
Si Ye was stunned, "Do you act on TV? Barrier?"
"Heart knot." Cheng Zhan said.
"What the hell?" Si Ye didn't understand.
Cheng Zhan's face was grave, "Why are the lights in the hall always not on?"
Not only did the lights not come on, even Laoguan didn't come up.
"I'll go take a look." Si Ye had a bad premonition. Just as he was about to leave, he took another look at the room.
Cheng Zhan said, "I am here, go find Laoguan."
Si Ye looked serious and nodded. Although he was worried about this, he still believed Cheng Zhan, told him to be careful, and hurried downstairs.
Only Cheng Zhan and the things in the room were left on the entire second floor.
