Chapter 55 Evil Spirit Variations
byChapter 55 Evil Spirit Variations
"The house must be good, and the feng shui is good. The owner's son was the top scorer in science in the college entrance examination." The agent stepped out of the elevator and took the initiative to hold the door for them. After Shannan and Tong Xi came out, she continued to walk forward.
The light above my head keeps flashing, with no pattern, every few seconds, ten seconds or so.
The bricks on the floor are white, but it can be seen that they have been aged. Cracks and indelible dirt can be easily seen.There are various small advertisements posted on the walls, for sewers, water delivery, lock opening and changing...
The real estate agent led them to stand in front of a door, looking for the key in his bag, "Wait a moment."
Shang Nan took advantage of this moment to look back.
There are four households on the first floor, and the corridor is very narrow. The house they are looking at is a side house. The landlord said it has three bedrooms and one living room, but in fact only two rooms are usable.
Seeing that his friend was in a daze, Tong Xi pulled him back a short distance and said in a voice that the agent should not be able to hear: "This is the last house we are looking at. We must take a good look at it, and if possible, book it as soon as possible."School starts in two days."
The No. 16 Middle School they attended is the high school with the highest admission rate in Dal City. It also has a special repeat class. The scores in the repeat class can be 30 to 50 points higher than previous years' scores on average. There is a lot of room for improvement. You work hard.As a student, it is not difficult to get higher than 100%.Therefore, students from other places come here all year round to repeat their studies. Although the school will do its best to accommodate these students, in terms of accommodation, you have to find a way on your own, as the dormitory cannot accommodate so many people.
Shannan and Tong Xi were repeat students. They came to look at the house a week in advance. Fortunately, their families were not short of money, so there was no pressure to rent a two-bedroom apartment in Dal City, a city with high consumption.
But the key is to be close to the school. According to their class schedule, morning self-study begins at 5:30 in the morning. No matter how nice the house is, if it is far away, they will not consider it.
Near the school, there are almost all old houses in this old community. Looking all the way, there is not much difference.
The agent opened the door, waved her palm in front of her nose, turned on the switch of the ceiling light in the entrance, and introduced enthusiastically, "Although the house is old, you see, the cabinets on the sofa and the cabinets are the best we bought at that time.Yes, and just because the tenants would think there were too many things in the house, the landlord cleaned the house in advance."
"There are some books on this bookshelf," the agent looked at them. "There are also high school information books. These are ready-made for you to use."
The house is quite big. According to the rental software, it has more than 130 square meters. There is more than 110 square meters left in the apartment. There is also a small room that the landlord uses as a warehouse.
The decoration is elegant, with light apricot bed curtains and light brown leather sofas. The sofa is against the wall, and next to it is the large bookshelf the agent mentioned.
The dining table seats six, and there is a glass vase standing on the table, but there are no flowers in it, and naturally there is no water.
The agent took them around and said, "You can allocate a master bedroom and a secondary bedroom yourself. The second bedroom is connected to the warehouse. If you have anything you don't need, you can put it in there temporarily to avoid taking up space."
"The lighting in the kitchen is not as good as that of the living room and bedroom, but it's just for cooking anyway. Do you know how to cook?"
Tong Xi raised her hand, "I can, but my friend can't."
Shang Nan really doesn't know how to cook noodles.
"How about this house? If you think it's okay, we can sign the contract now."
Tong Xi was very satisfied, mainly because the rent was nearly one-third cheaper than the house she looked at before. The decoration of this house was also better, elegant but not lacking in solemnity.
He bumped into Shan Nan, "Nan, what do you think?"
"I can do either." His main purpose in coming to this world is not to keep looking for a house. He doesn't choose, whether it's a gold nest, a silver nest or a doghouse, it doesn't matter.
"By the way, the landlord also said that if you have any pets, you can keep them as long as they don't have any bad habits. But when the house is collected, if the house is found to be damaged, you will need to pay compensation."
Shang Nan looked away from the mural behind the sofa, "No way, we are all about to take the college entrance examination, so we won't have time to raise pets."
Until he signed the contract that the agent found out, Shannan had an unreal feeling of being suspended in mid-air.
Having just arrived in the new world, he still needs some time to adapt and get used to it.
My friend Tong Xi is a strong man of 1.9180 kilograms. When he was a sophomore in high school, he weighed 220 kilograms. He was very fat at that time. He lost 40 kilograms in just one year of high school. He said that this timeIf you repeat your studies, you will probably lose a few dozen pounds, and then you will be able to go to college handsomely.
In my memory, both parents used to work in state-owned enterprises. Later, they lost their jobs and started a business together.Therefore, as their children, Shannan and Tongxi are naturally like brothers.
After signing the contract, Tong Xi gave Shannan a share of the keys in his hand, "I'll carry the luggage while you clean up the place." He ran out and opened the door with such force that he wanted to pull down the door frame.
Shan Nan's ears were ringing from the shock, "You close the door gently. If the door collapses, just replace it."
Silence returned to the house, and Shannan looked at the house, thinking about where to start cleaning.
"Can you use points to help me with hygiene?"
[14:Don’t even think about it.]
"Look for the air conditioner remote control first, I'm almost overheated." Shangnan held up his short-sleeved collar and fanned it several times, wandering around the room looking for the remote control.
The feeling of walking around the room alone is completely different from that of three people walking around the room. Shannan felt weird, but he also wondered if he was too sensitive.
He thought that maybe it was because the monster hadn't appeared yet, so he was suspicious and felt that something was not normal.
The master bedroom faces the sun, and the whole room is heated by the sun outside. The second bedroom next door is much better. Half of the ground is sunny and the other half is shaded. The warehouse door is in the shadow, and the door handle isThere was a stuffed toy as big as a fist hanging.
I searched for the remote control for a long time, but couldn't find it.
But Shan Nan was already sweating profusely, and the clothes on his back were soaked with hot sweat.
He thought for a while and took out his mobile phone from his pants pocket. The mobile phone had the contact information of the landlord that the agent had given them. He sent a text message: Hello, where did you put the remote control and water and gas cards?
The sweat on his forehead ran down the tip of his hair, and a drop fell on the screen of his mobile phone. Shang Nan wiped it away with his hand.
Contact via text message was not as fast as chat software. Shannan didn't expect someone to reply immediately. After sending the message, he put his phone back in his pocket.
When he was about to leave the second bedroom, the stuffed toy fell to the ground for some reason. Shannan almost didn't think about it. He walked over and bent down to pick up the stuffed toy and hung it on the door handle again.
But it is still easy to fall off if it is hung like this. Every time the door is opened or closed or the door handle is turned, won't it fall off?
He squatted down and tried to tie the toy to the door handle, but the lanyard was made of a hard material. Once it was tied, it fell apart with a slight tug.
Forget it, let's put it in the warehouse.
Shang Nan turned the door handle and locked it. Among the several keys in his hand, he found the one that opened the warehouse door and opened the door.
As soon as the warehouse was opened, dust started to rise. Shannan was not mentally prepared and choked and coughed.
It turned out that the window was open, and there was a road with cars passing next to it. No wonder the dust was so thick and was blown all over the house.
The room was smaller than Shannan expected, except for cabinets, chairs and a tattered bucket mop.
There is a single folding bed next to the window, and a desk, but the desk is still an old and small table made of iron frames. The wall next to the desk is covered with paper, and the four corners are covered with tape.Glued.
The ceiling above your head is still cracked, and if the board doesn't fall off, you can look in when you look up. It's pitch black, and it's a bit scary to look at.
Only then did Shang Nan realize that the lighting in this room was not very good, but it was also extremely cool. The hot sweat on his body gradually lowered the temperature. On this hot day, he actually shivered and goosebumps appeared on his arms.
And this room does not have air conditioning. It is really a small warehouse.
Afraid of continuing to accumulate dust, Shang Nan walked over and closed the window, and found a row of remote controls and cards neatly placed on a cabinet. It was an unexpected surprise. There was no need to wait for a reply from the landlord.
Shang Nan conveniently placed the pendant on the cabinet and took away all the remote controls.
The pendant that was conveniently placed on the cabinet fell to the ground again after Shang Nan left.
Shannan bought new mops, buckets, brooms, and a bunch of daily necessities with takeout.
Cleaning was the most tiring thing. He pushed the mop and ran around the house. The air conditioner was already working, so even though it was spinning like a top, it wasn't as hot as before.
I pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony and looked at the green trees downstairs. The environment of this community is very good. When the agent introduced it, he said that the real estate owner who built this community later developed several communities for wealthy people, so he has good taste and quality.That's definitely no problem.
It was noon, and there were waves of heat in the air. After cleaning the balcony, Shang Nan closed the floor-to-ceiling windows to prevent the air conditioner from escaping.
He closed the window and when he turned around, he was dumbfounded.
The half-filled bucket of water was dumped on the ground, and the sewage inside had been poured out and flowed all over the ground.
[14: It poured itself.]
Shang Nan walked around the water and picked up the bucket. "What do you mean it poured by itself?" He turned the bucket upside down. "Isn't it flat?"
[14: It's flat, but it just fell over, do you know what I mean?]
Shang Nan squatted on the ground and looked at the sewage all over the ground. He paused for a few seconds and nodded, "There is a ghost in this house. Tong Xi and I rented a haunted house. That's what you mean, right?"
"The monster is in this room." Shang Nan stood up, placed the bucket against the wall, and began to clean up the mess in front of him.
[14: It has not appeared now. I cannot determine its identity and blackening value. Naturally, I cannot obtain the specific encounters it has encountered in this world.According to the rule of "there can only be one monster in each world", the monster must be around you.]
Shang Nan was panting, gritting his teeth and dragging his feet on the ground, "Didn't this appear? Wasn't this what it did?"
[14: It does not appear physically, and I can't scan any information about it. In other words, even if you can't see it, I can't see it either.]
"Then you can see the bucket pouring itself?"
[14:I can see the bucket.]
Shannan understood. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked around the entire living room. The living room was empty. He was less than ten meters away from where the bucket was placed. Next to the living room was the dining room. He looked at that location quietly.
After a long time, I found nothing, nothing strange.
Shannan's lips were inexplicably dry, and he felt a little uneasy.The information provided by 14 has a prerequisite. If the monster always uses a form that they cannot see, then they will never know what the other party is.
The monster is in the dark and he is in the light. This feeling makes people feel unsure. No one knows what it will do and whether it will hurt himself and Tong Xi.
And the difficulty of the task naturally increased accordingly.
Without being able to find monsters, 14's presence is much weaker. To put it simply, his golden finger can no longer be used.
Shannan sat on the sofa and waited for Tong Xi to come back. He didn't dare to blink, for fear that if he closed his eyes and opened them again, something strange would appear in front of him.
Fortunately, everything was normal and Tong Xi came back soon.
Tong Xi not only successfully carried their luggage, but also bought noodles and oden on the way, "Come and help!"
Seeing Tong Xi, Shannan felt like he was seeing a relative.
"I was starving to death without breakfast, so I bought these, a roast chicken and two bottles of soda." Tong Xi opened the door with her body, pushed two suitcases, and then turned back and carried two luggage bags in..
His main focus was on the food. He sat down at the dining table with several large bags of food. While tearing open the bags, he looked up at Shan Nan. It didn't matter if he didn't look at it. He was frightened by this look.He was startled, "Damn, why is your face so white?"
Shannan pulled out a chair and sat down, taking a bowl of noodles, "Don't I usually have white noodles?"
"It's usually white, but now the wall is white," Tong Xi slapped the wall next to her, "This kind of white, do you understand?"
"The temperature of the air conditioner is too low," Shang Nan said casually, and ate the noodles. The handmade noodles wrapped in the store's own sauce were fragrant and strong. Shang Nan's eyes lit up, "It's delicious."
"It's delicious," Tong Xi chuckled, "I made a guide before coming here, and this store happens to be right next to this community."
"..." Shannan took two bites of noodles and suddenly realized, "No wonder you are so eager to rent here, just because of the noodles?"
"Food is the most important thing, so I really don't know how I can get through this year." Tong Xi fed half a bowl of noodles in one bite. He ate until the corners of his mouth were covered with sauce, and he didn't seem to be worried at all.
Shannan felt a little complicated. He wondered if Tong Xi would sigh like "food is the most important" if he knew that it was because of his greed that he rented this ghost house.
But thinking about it, Shang Nan's appetite was not affected. He finished a bowl of noodles, a few skewers of oden, and a chicken leg, so that he no longer had any worries.
The rest went into Tong Xi's stomach.
Shang Nan watched the other party bite the bones of the chicken wings and slurped them clean, and felt that the possibility of the other party losing weight was not very high.
After eating, the two spent another hour packing their luggage.
When it was time to assign rooms, Tong Xi hugged a pile of clothes and asked, "Which room do you want?"
"No problem."
"You should sleep in the master bedroom. The lighting in the master bedroom is better than that in the second bedroom. You should get more sun, and you have more clothes. I don't have many clothes." After saying that, Tong Xi stuffed all her clothes into the wardrobe of the second bedroom.inside.
He hammered the part that couldn't be stuffed in. He gasped and pulled the closet door. Turning around, he saw the plush pendant hanging on the door handle. He let out a laugh, went over to poke it, and looked at it.Shannan outside shouted: "There is a stuffed doll on this door. Is there a little girl in this house?"
Shan Nan first responded to the second half of Tong Xi's sentence, "It's either a person who likes stuffed dolls or a little girl."
After he answered Tong Xi, he felt something was wrong, "What stuffed doll?"
Shang Nan dropped the clothes he was folding and ran to the second bedroom. When he saw the scene in front of him, Shang Nan's head buzzed - the plush pendant that he had put away in the warehouse appeared there again at some point.On the door handle.
His voice was slightly trembling when he spoke, "Tong Xi, why don't we change rooms? You live in the master bedroom and I live in the second bedroom."
"I won't change," Tong Xi refused directly. He sat down on the bed, "When I came here, my mother told me that you are not in good health and asked me to take care of you more. If my mother knew that IIf I let you sleep in the second bedroom, you will definitely scold me to death."
"And I found that the bed in the master bedroom seems to be smaller than the one in the second bedroom. I'm more comfortable sleeping in a larger bed." Tong Xi has already identified the second bedroom.
It looked like he couldn't move no matter what.
Forget it, after Tong Xi discovers something is wrong, he will propose a room swap. At that time, Tong Xi will definitely agree.
However, Shannan was still worried. He returned to the master bedroom, put on a quilt, and said to 14: "Help me keep an eye on the child. If he encounters any danger, you must tell me."
Knowing the truth may not necessarily be a good thing for Tong Xi. Now Shannan can't even guarantee his own safety. He even wants to rent a new house with Tong Xi, but how can Tong Xi explain it?What about the rent?What to do with the task?
Take it one step at a time.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Shannan closed the curtains and started to sleep. Tong Xi also went to bed. Both of them were very tired. They were either on the road or looking at houses with the agent in the past few days.
The room was quiet. The last person to take a bath was Tong Xi. The water accumulated in the bathroom had not drained away for a while. After they all lay down, they could still hear the water gurgling and seeping into the floor drain, but the sound was very loud.It's light, even a little hypnotic to listen to.Drowsiness has swept through all of Shannan.
The agent was right. This landlord bought the best in everything. It may not be the best now, but seven or eight years ago, it was really good. The intuitive feeling of admiring the south is that the cooling function of the air conditioner is also good.He was so capable of being beaten that he even felt that he could bear the presence of ghosts even though he was covered with a thin quilt.
The ajar door creaked and slowly opened inwards.
When sleeping, in order to keep an eye on Tong Xi's movements, Shang Nan's door was not closed tightly. Even a light breeze could successfully blow the door open.
A slight depression appeared at the end of the bed, and a pale boy's face appeared in the air.
A thin black mist lingered around this face, flowing slowly around its facial features. The bloodless face and lips made it impossible to objectively appreciate how handsome and elegant the face itself was.
It looked at Shannan on the bed and rolled its gray eyes numbly.
The boy lying on the bed felt nothing. He was sleeping on his side and had no feeling at all.
Her breathing was steady and peaceful, the broken hair on her forehead fell to one side, and her appearance was delicate and beautiful.Summer quilts are generally very thin, and most of them will slip away with just a slight movement. The other party's legs are folded together, and a large piece of the calf is exposed. They are slender and fair, and the ankle bone is attached to the leg like a jade. The toes exposed from the end of the bed are slightly curled up.With.
It opened its mouth and pulled the left and right corners of its mouth stiffly apart, revealing two rows of neat teeth, with the gaps between the teeth filled in scarlet.
It only stayed for a short while and then disappeared into the air. Shannan was still asleep and even muttered something vague in his sleep.
Tong Xi next door was sleeping with her arms and legs spread out.
Tong Xi's quilt was placed on her belly, and it only covered her belly. One of her feet almost touched the ground.
He had a sweet dream, and the dream was full of delicious food, such as hot pot, lamb chops, roast chicken, roast duck, stir-fried noodles, stir-fried noodles, soda, milk tea, potato chips, egg cakes... But suddenly, all these delicious things changed their faces, and they all turned toward each other.It came over and hit him, and he fell to the ground unexpectedly. He was so pressed by these delicious foods that it became difficult to breathe.
Tong Xi's face turned purple. He grabbed his hands in the air and pushed hard on his apparently empty body. Veins in his neck and forehead bulged due to lack of oxygen and exertion.
When he was about to suffocate, he opened his eyes suddenly, and the weight in front of him suddenly disappeared as he woke up.
He looked out the window at night and thought, having a nightmare.
But it doesn't affect his love for food.
He went to wake up Shannan. They had to spare some time at night to study the test papers.
In fact, his and Shannan's grades were not very bad, above average, and the school was not bad, but not particularly good. Their parents felt that if they tried repeating their studies, their families would not be short of money anyway.
Both parents have not considered going abroad, and they are worried.
Tong Xi found his slippers under the bed. He opened the door, and his half-dead expression instantly turned to horror. The elegant living room turned into a graveyard, with a gloomy wind blowing. There were a few pieces of paper money under his feet. There was no money in the center.There is a vague back figure on the earthen bag of the tombstone. The other person's fingers are placed on the earth beside him, tapping repeatedly.
Tong Xi's heart was almost about to explode. Without thinking, he closed the door and hid under the quilt. He shook his fingers and went to touch the phone under the pillow. When he touched the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief and put the phone away.Dragging him into the quilt, he found that what he dragged in was a blue and white hard hand.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Shannan woke up immediately when he heard Tong Xi's shouting. He didn't even have any shoes on. He ran to Tong Xi's room, turned on the light, and saw Tong Xi lying on the bed, with a pale face and yelling.
"Tong Xi? Tong Xi!" Shannan called the other party several times, but found that the other party had no reaction at all. He could only slap Tong Xi's face hard several times, and Tong Xi finally woke up.
Tong Xi opened his eyes, his forehead was covered with sweat. He stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, until he saw Shannan, he came back to his senses, sat up, and said with lingering fear: "I had a nightmare, it seemed...He was also pressed into bed by a ghost." After having a nightmare, Tong Xi realized that the things pressing on her might not be delicious.
He told Shannan what happened in the dream, his face still white, "It scared me to death. This is the first time I have such a real dream."
Shang Nan knew that this was a dream, just a nightmare maliciously created by "people".
Right in this room.
Shang Nan looked around the second bedroom, finally patted Tong Xi and said, "Tong Xi, is it possible that you don't have the right aura in this room?"
Tong Xi's heart was still pounding, and he was confused, "What do you mean?"
"Let's try changing rooms. Maybe if you go to my room, you won't have nightmares." Shonan is really worried about Tong Xi. He knows that he is brave and he has a system, but what about Tong Xi?None. If he continued to live in the second bedroom, the other party might scare Tong Xi to death.
Tong Xi looked at Shan Nan, he trusted Shan Nan very much, "Okay, let's change first."
As soon as Tong Xi agreed, Shannan felt a cool breeze blowing on the back of his neck - there was a warehouse door behind him, and he knew where the wind was coming from without even thinking about it.
