That memory was not thrilling for Laoguan, but it was definitely unforgettable.
He didn't know how he left the shop at that time, but as soon as those two laughs penetrated his ears, a chill immediately hit him from the top of his head to the root of his tail.
"It's so scary!" Lao Guan emphasized.
As for whether there was something abnormal in the cemetery, he didn't dare to intervene. "I had a very strong premonition at that time..."
Having said this, Lao Guan paused, a bit waiting for them to take the initiative to ask questions.
Fang Ting was the most frightened person during the whole listening process. Her ears were always bent, and she couldn't wait to ask questions after hearing the words. Lao Guan found a sense of presence and continued talking.
"I think Qin Laosan is not dead at all."
Fang Ting:……
The air around is quiet.
Lao Guan looked at Si Ye and then at Cheng Zhan. Seeing that their expressions were indifferent, he became anxious and said, "I'm not talking nonsense! I heard it really loudly. That voice belongs to Qin Laosan! And, not only is it...
I heard it, and someone else saw it!"
Diagonally across from Qin Laosan's fur shop was a Tibetan clothing store. It was said that it was a dark and windy night, and the owner of the shop, Ren Zhen, was late closing the shop. Mainly because a few friends came to eat and drink in the shop.
It was already early in the morning when Renzhen left.
When he passed by the fur shop, he raised his head inadvertently, just as he should have, and what he saw was a scene that sent shivers down his spine.
Someone is standing by the window sill on the second floor of the fur shop!
The wind was also very strong that night, but it did not blow away the clouds, so the moonlight was not much bleak. Renzhen rubbed his eyes and checked again, and found that it was indeed a person standing.
At the beginning, there was a figure, the body was slightly hunched, but judging from the posture, it was a man.
Renzhen was still thinking at the time, Qin Laosan was gone, how could there be a man in the fur shop? A relative of Qin Sansao's family?
While I was thinking about it for a while, the strong wind blew the window loose, and the window on the second floor opened and closed with two snaps.
It only takes a second or two from opening to closing.
In just a second or two, Renzhen saw clearly the face behind the window.
It’s Qin Laosan!
"Ren Zhen told me that he clearly saw Qin Laosan standing in front of the window on the second floor, hunched over, looking straight out with two eyes, and his face was so pale that it was scary."
When Guan said this, the goosebumps on his arms rose again.
The July Inn only receives people who travel around the country. Similarly, Lao Guan is very popular here and has a good relationship with the owners of various shops. Everyone likes to come to his place to talk about home affairs when they have nothing to do.
Renzhen usually loved to eat yak jerky made by Laoguan. When he was not busy, he would always eat one or two bites of it as a pastime. But that day, he mysteriously told this story.
"Later, Renzhen also had some doubts about whether he had made a mistake while drinking. When he thought about what happened that night, he was hesitant, but I always felt that he might have made a mistake." Lao Guan analyzed.
This incident happened after Lao Guan heard laughter, so how could there be so many coincidences?
"Everyone in the ancient city knows that Qin Laosan's mourning hall has not yet been evacuated, and there are many rumors about it."
Only then did Si Ye understand the reason for the cryptic expression on Lao Guan's face when he mentioned Qin Laosan.
"So I thought, since Si Jiayi disappeared mysteriously, everything has been quite weird." Lao Guan came to a conclusion, "Of course, it's possible that I'm overthinking."
Lao Guan couldn't tell whether there was any connection between things. All he had was a feeling, and there was no scientific basis for such a thing.
But isn't it weird?
He could explain the previous events as random thoughts or even auditory hallucinations, but what about the current events?
He really saw Qu Ya clinging to the wall like a mutated creature, and Si Jiayi who had disappeared long ago. Look at her look...
Isn't it a ghost?
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. I pinched the cigarette rod hard with my fingers, and the shredded tobacco inside broke out.
"That Qu Ya..." Lao Guan glanced upstairs and didn't say the rest.
Fang Ting pursed her lips for a long time, with anger in her eyes, "Is she the girl you are talking about? That's why Qu Ya became like this!"
"Sijiayi is also a victim." Si Ye said.
Fang Ting raised her eyes and looked at Si Ye, "Didn't Lao Guan see Si Jiayi? This means that she is always trapped in the inn, unable to be reborn, and is looking for a substitute!"
For all this, she can only use the theory of ghosts and gods to explain it, otherwise? Quantum mechanics?
Unexpectedly, Si Ye laughed and replied to Fang Ting, "She came with me."
After saying this, I felt excited in my heart.
Fang Ting had just used the word "sleepy" when describing Si Jiayi, which did not surprise him.
Si Ye's words were confusing, at least Fang Ting didn't understand, and her eyebrows were as tight as a rag. Lao Guan, on the other hand, slapped the table and said, "So not only can you see ghosts, you can also attract ghosts, and you can make ghosts do things for you."
right?"
Si Ye:……
After a long while, he replied wordlessly, "No."
cannot?
Lao Guan doesn't believe it anymore. If not, then what's the point of letting ghosts lead the way? And Si Jiayi he saw just now...
Before a bunch of questions came out of his mouth, Cheng Zhan, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up——
"Lao Guan, if you think about it carefully, besides hearing laughter, did you see anything unusual that night?"
Anomalies……
So the weird dialogue and laughter are not abnormal?
While Lao Guan was thinking hard, Si Ye vaguely understood what Cheng Zhan meant and guided Lao Guan, "For example, have you seen anything like a shadow?"
Cheng Zhan turned his head and glanced at Si Ye, his eyes flashing deeply, as if he was smiling. Si Ye was next to Cheng Zhan, and even without looking directly at him, he knew he was looking at him.
He lowered his voice and said, "I know you admire me, but you don't need to show it so obviously."
Cheng Zhan chuckled, "You're overthinking."
Well, I thought too much.
Then you just think I'm pretty.
After being reminded like this, Lao Guan's eyes suddenly lit up and he slapped his thigh suddenly, "I remembered it! Yes! There seems to be a shadow!"
It doesn’t seem like it, it just is.
Whenever I recalled that period before, Lao Guan's focus was on Qin Sansao's dialogue and laughter, and he didn't pay attention to the rest. But now that I think about it carefully, it is the "others" who were not taken seriously that make people even more horrified.
.
He saw a shadow!
When he first entered and left the shop.
"As soon as I entered the door, I felt something was wrong, as if something was flying in front of my eyes, but I didn't pay attention. Later, I was so scared that I left the shop, and then I felt something was moving on the wall, and I even glanced at it.
!”
Lao Guan swallowed.
"Because the light was not good, I couldn't see clearly. Now that I think about it, it's that painting! It seems like something got into the painting, and then the people in the painting are moving!"
painting?
Si Ye carefully recalled the furnishings in the fur shop, and it seemed that there was a painting.
"What painting?" he asked.
Lao Guan shook his head, "I don't know, I've never looked carefully. His shop moved once. It may have been left behind by the previous store, or it may have been collected by Qin Laosan who doesn't know where. Anyway, there are many people there.
.The elders all say, don’t take things home with portraits, because the older they are, the more evil they are.”
Speaking of this, Lao Guan slapped his leg again, "I remember! Ren Zhen! He also said casually that he saw a shadow!"
It was indeed said in passing.
Renzhen said at that time that he saw Qin Laosan at the window sill on the second floor. He also saw something stuck behind Qin Laosan through the opening and closing of the window.
Dark.
"It's like the shadow stood up, that's what Ren Zhen said at that time."
Si Ye and Cheng Zhan looked at each other.
After Lao Guan said this, everyone fell into silence again.
Dawn finally breaks on the horizon, and the sun barely breaks out from the clouds. Today is not a sunny day, there are clouds, so even at dawn, it is dark and unclear outside.
Fang Ting's yogurt bowl was always full, without a spoonful being touched. After a long time, she asked Cheng Zhan, "What will happen to Qu Ya?"
Now she was sure that the two big boys in front of her were definitely not human beings, especially this Cheng Zhan. She believed that he knew the reason why Qu Ya became like this.
Cheng Zhan raised his eyes to look at her for a moment and asked instead, "Aren't you curious about the shadow?"
Fang Ting was stunned for a moment, "Okay, I'm curious, I definitely want to know!"
"Really?" Cheng Zhan smiled unexpectedly.
Fang Ting was unhappy and stood up, "Cheng Zhan, what do you mean?"
Cheng Zhan leaned back on the chair and said calmly, "Where's Qu Ya? I'm afraid she won't wake up for a while, but there is no fear for her life. As for you..."
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised again, looking at her with a half-smile.
Fang Ting's heart skipped a beat, "What's wrong with me?"
Cheng Zhan stood up and walked slowly in front of her. The smile on his lips was still there, but there seemed to be knives hidden in his eyes. When he looked at Fang Ting's face, she felt very uncomfortable.
She took a step back, but Cheng Zhan took a step closer.
Laoguan was trembling with fear from Cheng Zhan's words just now. He was thinking that if Qu Ya couldn't wake up, her parents would have to be notified from time to time. That would be very lively. Who would dare to stay at the July Inn in the future?
But seeing Cheng Zhan running towards Fang Ting, still looking very interested, I was really puzzled. I also felt that his behavior was indecent for a girl, so I wanted to get up and stop him.
But before he could stand up, his shoulders were held down by Si Ye.
He smiled and signaled Lao Guan to calm down.
Lao Guan is confused, what is going on?
On that side, Fang Ting made a move, turned around and was about to run upstairs. But as soon as she stepped on the steps, she saw a red flying knife chasing after her from behind, and actually passed through the back of Fang Ting's head!
Lao Guan was so frightened that he shouted, "Cheng Zhan, what are you doing?!"
Cheng Zhan ignored Lao Guan and looked coldly at Fang Ting in front of him.
Fang Ting was seen standing upright in the stairwell. Soon, something jumped up from her Tianling Cap. It was black and fuzzy, like a small ball, but it was in a pulling state.
Cheng Zhan's hand suddenly retracted in mid-air, and the knife quickly turned around, stabbed the black thing, and headed straight towards Cheng Zhan.
Cheng Zhan's palm spread out, and the knife disappeared into his hand together with the black object.
Fang Ting, on the other hand, fell backwards and was hugged by Si Ye in time.
He seemed helpless and sighed, "Cheng Zhan, you are such a ignorant person."
