"What?" I was a little stunned. "Sorry, I didn't hear clearly. What did you say?"
"three days left."
Instantly, I felt like I was awake.
When I came back to my senses, I found that the car was still driving. Everyone in the car was drowsy. They were sleeping soundly on my shoulder during the day, and my mobile phone was still firmly in my hand.
Was everything just a dream?
I rubbed my eyes tiredly and fell asleep again.
This time there was no danger, and I slept all the way to the terminal.
Xiaotian was already waiting for us at the station. As soon as we got off the bus, he helped us carry our luggage.
He was also shocked when he saw my big and small bags. When he heard that my grandma and I brought them specially for him, he was moved to tears.
He took us to a hotel. Because it was the peak tourist season, there was only one room available.
"Didn't I book two rooms?" Xiaotian was unhappy and frowned slightly.
The lady at the front desk quickly apologized and said: "I'm really sorry, sir, because there is a problem with the backend system, we can only book one room for you. I'm really sorry, we can give you a 50% off coupon."
"This is not a coupon issue, according to consumer rights..."
Seeing more and more people watching around me, I quickly interrupted Xiaotian: "Miss, is there really no other room? Even if it's a storage room, it doesn't matter. You can't book other rooms now. There’s a room.”
"There is another room, that is..."
The lady at the front desk was a little hesitant, but I said with a smile: "It's just for one night, it doesn't matter if it's worn or worn. Just change it for me when someone checks out tomorrow."
Seeing how determined I was, the lady at the front desk said nothing more and simply helped me find a room.
"Wish you both a pleasant stay."
When I first arrived, I was a little scared when I was asked to sleep in a room by myself, but after all, she was a girl during the day. If I asked to sleep with her, given her personality, she would definitely give me a slap in the face.
After much thought, I decided to be brave and sleep with the light on at worst.
As soon as I walked into the house, there was a strong musty smell.
The house was very clean and large. I put down my luggage, opened the window to get some air, and went out to eat with the two of them.
It was already dark now, but the lights in the city illuminated the surroundings as brightly as day.
We had a big meal, and when we talked about the mobile phone, Xiaotian's eyes were full of terror.
It started the day before yesterday.
Xiaotian finished his day's work and was just about to go home when his phone started to vibrate.
At first, he thought it was the victim calling to inquire about the progress of the case.
But when he picked up the phone and fed her twice, there was no sound on the other end of the phone.
At this time, he suddenly remembered something that made his hair stand on end.
The caller was indeed his victim, but he was hacked to death before the trial.
Thinking of this, Xiaotian swallowed hard, and when he was about to hang up the phone, a chuckle suddenly came from the other end of the phone.
The voice was very quiet, but it seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet office: "There are still six days."
"What six days?" Xiaotian's voice was slightly trembling.
"There are still six days left, and I will pick you up." The voice on the other end of the phone didn't have any warmth, and was more like an electronically synthesized voice.
Xiaotian was stunned for a moment. When he wanted to speak again, the other person on the phone had already hung up the phone first.
At first, he thought it was someone playing a prank or retaliating against his family. But the next night, at the same time, he received the call again. The difference was that this call had obviously been blocked by him. Why? Can we get through again?
And from the first six days, it became five days. Now, Xiaotian was completely panicked and quickly called me for protection.
"Can you lend me your cell phone?" Bai Tian extended his hand and asked.
It was so much that Xiaotian hurriedly handed the phone to Bai Tian.
During the day, I looked carefully and dialed the number back, only to find that the number displayed on the phone was empty.
"What time will I call you every night?"
"At half past eleven."
Bai Tian leaned lazily on the back of the chair and nodded: "Okay, let's wait together."
My biological clock is to go to bed before 10:30. Xiaotian was afraid that we would fall asleep, so he asked the hotel to prepare a bunch of snacks and coffee for us.
Even so, at eleven o'clock, I was already leaning on the chair and falling asleep.
At half past eleven, the cell phone on the table rang on time, instantly waking us all up.
Everyone stared at their phones eagerly, chewing gum during the day, then directly picked up the phone and pressed the speakerphone.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a man's mechanical voice: "There are still four days."
Bai Tian whistled: "Brother, I am a timid brother. Otherwise, please remember my phone number and call me."
No one said anything on the other end of the phone, and finally hung up.
Xiao Tian timidly asked: "Will he come to me tomorrow?"
"I guess so. By the way, do you have any information about your client? Or is there something wrong with the cause of his death?"
"Yes! I am very sure that I will win his case, but who knows, the client went to a bar to dance at night, and inexplicably provoked a group of gangsters, and was hacked to death that night. But the problem is, his friend said , he has a very calm personality and usually does not provoke others, but that night it was like he was possessed by a demon."
I scratched my hair and felt that the skin on my body was getting pimpled.
"I heard that a few days ago, he actually received news that he would die in a few days."
I couldn't help but interjected: "Isn't this just a call from a ghost?"
Xiaotian immediately flattened his mouth: "Don't scare me."
"We don't know what's going on now. We're just waiting to see what comes in four days." As he said that, he yawned again during the day: "Okay, I'll go back to my room. If anything happens, I'll let you know." come over."
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. Go back and rest. I'll come back to you tomorrow."
I nodded.
After returning to the hotel during the day, standing at the door of my room, I felt a little panicked for no reason.
Seeing that I didn't go in for a long time, he couldn't help but laugh during the day and said: "Why, you don't dare to sleep alone? If you are really scared, I don't mind letting you sleep in the toilet in my room."
This sentence severely hit my face as a man. I said hard twice: "How is that possible? Good night!"
