A man covered with a quilt, his eyes closed, his brows twitching from time to time, and his breathing rapid.
Outside the balcony, heavy rain crackled against the windows, lightning jumped between high-rise buildings, and loud thunder boomed from far to near, like an explosion above the head.
Under the thunder, the man woke up suddenly, swallowing his dry throat, breathing rapidly, and in the light of lightning, the panic and uneasiness in his eyes faded away.
"It's a nightmare again..." The man pursed his dry lips and reached for the white table beside the bed. There was a glass of cold water poured last night.
Pika!
There was another loud noise, booming on the roof.
The man's hand shook and he knocked over the cup. It rolled to the edge of the bedside table and fell to the ground with a bang. A cup of cold water was poured out, and the remaining liquid dripped along the edge of the cabinet and hit the floor.
"Hold!"
The man cursed irritably, opened the cup, found the slippers by the light of lightning, walked out of the bedroom holding on to the wall, walked through the living room and entered the bathroom.
Turning on the light and turning on the faucet, the man put his hands together, poured a handful of cold water on his face, rubbed it vigorously, looked up at himself in the mirror, and gradually calmed down his heartbeat:
"Chu Yunsheng, the sky rail has not been restored as the senior said, you can't start panicking now and scare yourself!"
He swallowed another mouthful of non-existent spit, held up a cup of water, and was about to pour it on his face. The moment he lowered his head, his peripheral vision passed by the mirror. Under a flash of lightning, a shadow suddenly flashed from the living room inside the mirror. And passed.
"who!"
Chu Yunsheng turned his head suddenly, his eyes looked around nervously, his right hand quietly reached behind the door, hooked the bathroom broom, held it, and held it carefully in front of him.
The light in the living room was not turned on, and the light in the bathroom stretched his shadow very long from the door, making it appear looming and eerie in the thunder and lightning.
And every lightning strike. He could see the walls of the living room that he could see from the bathroom alternating between light and dark, and the shadows of tables, benches, and especially the refrigerator, changing in length and length as lightning appeared and disappeared. Move uneasily.
Chu Yunsheng took a breath, tightened his heartstrings, hugged the mop tightly, leaned against the wall, and carefully walked out of the bathroom. As soon as I walked out of the room, I immediately picked up the mop and held it in front of me.
"who!?"
There was no sound except thunder and lightning.
Chu Yunsheng turned sideways and stepped back to the left switch position, staring at all the dark doors in front of him, including the bedroom, as if someone would rush out at any time.
He touched the wall with his left hand, turned on the button, and the lights in the living room suddenly turned on.
Nothing at all.
Chu Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief. Could it be that he was dazzled and delusional?
At this time. Suddenly there was the sound of slippers hitting the floor upstairs, and after a while, the sound of water flushing the toilet came from the bathroom.
Chu Yunsheng calmed down a little and regained some courage. He used the mop as a weapon. He turned a corner and checked the kitchen. At the same time, he changed the mop into a kitchen knife, turned on the lights in each room one by one, and checked every room. A corner cupboard and balcony.
Still nothing!
Chu Yunsheng smiled mockingly. When did I become less and less courageous? Even a thunderstorm would frighten me like this.
The sense of security brought by the light relaxed Chu Yunsheng's uneasy nerves. He returned to the bathroom with the kitchen knife and placed the kitchen knife on the sink. He turned off the faucet and glanced at the mirror again, intentionally or unintentionally.
ah! ~
Chu Yunsheng screamed, took a few steps back, and hit the bathroom tile wall, his chest rising and falling rapidly.
He looked at the blood-stained face in the mirror in horror. It was his own face! His eyes were filled with penetrating hatred and despair. His whole body was scarred and red!
"Bang!"
The kitchen knife fell to the ground, making a crisp sound as metal collided with tiles.
Chu Yunsheng instinctively glanced at the kitchen knife on the ground, but quickly returned to the mirror. The strange thing was that the only thing in the mirror was his frightened self, not his bloody self at all.
"It's okay! It's okay! Illusion, illusion..."
Chu Yunsheng's heart was still beating fast. He pressed his chest and gasped for air. He hurriedly exited the bathroom, not daring to turn off the lights. He quickly turned on the TV and computer.
He needed voice, needed calm.
…
…
"You read that right, it only costs 988 yuan! It only costs 988 yuan! You can immediately own a handmade gold watch from Europe that is envied by everyone! What are you waiting for!? Hurry up and pick up the phone to order! "
Chu Yunsheng's head was still in shock, and he needed something with a plot to divert his attention. This obviously didn't work, so he quickly changed the channel.
"Wukong...Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful. Sister-in-law, don't leave. You have been beaten and scolded, so just lend me your fan!..."
Chu Yunsheng cursed secretly and changed the channel again.
"I want to save Qingchuan. Do you know what Qingchuan means to me? Without Qingchuan, is there any meaning in my life?
...Eighth Prince, Eighth Prince! "
Dizzy, Chu Yunsheng pressed the remote control without hesitation. This time it was even more terrifying.
"Bathing medicine, making conscience medicine, making..."
Chu Yunsheng did not change the channel this time. Being interrupted by four consecutive channels, he regained some composure. He lit a cigarette and felt no sleepiness at all. He did not go back to the bedroom. He sat on the sofa and cleared his head.
It seems that I have been too nervous recently and I actually had an illusion.
The figure was better. He had an impression. When he was a child, he felt that there was a figure behind him several times. Later, when he was studying and living in a dormitory, he also heard many ghost stories, so he thought it was a visual disorder.
But that bloody face...
I guess I’ve been watching too many American movies recently.
Chu Yunsheng exhaled a puff of smoke and concluded with a "sudden realization".
He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. It's just an illusion at most. It's no big deal. After smoking a cigarette, his mood gradually calmed down. The TV commercial also finished. TVB Hua Dan said a classic line: "Katie, when this happens, everyone is worried." I don’t want to, but as a human being, the most important thing is to be happy..."
Chu Yunsheng shook his head. He couldn't be happy now. There were only less than three months left before the date calculated in the ancient family heirloom. Time was tight and he needed to prepare all supplies that might be available in the future.
Putting his laptop on his lap, Chu Yunsheng searched for various versions of survival manuals on the Internet. While opening the EXCEL table, continue to make the list.
Food, vitamins, medicines, tools, clothes, maps, etc., whatever you can think of, you may need. Don't miss any one.
Unconsciously, the sound of the cleaner sweeping the floor and the sound of him coughing violently came from the road. Chu Yunsheng closed the computer and walked to the balcony. There was a glimmer of light in the sky, and the sun was still below the horizon.
After the heavy rain, the air is fresh with the freshness of rain, and the air on the ground and in the trees becomes much cleaner. In this city where exhaust emissions can poison people every day, this moment is very rare.
After changing his clothes, Chu Yunsheng ate bread and hurried downstairs. He was going to resign from the company today. In the afternoon, I made an appointment with an agent to discuss selling the house, and then I had to rent a new house. It was piecemeal and time was very tight.
At this time, it was shortly after 4 o'clock. Because I didn't sleep, I went out much earlier than before. The subway was not open yet, but the bus was available before 5 o'clock. I waited under the stop sign for a while. An orange Lamborghini sped past him. Chu Yunsheng was sleepy and had no time to avoid it. The water splashed by the wheels covered him in waves.
"Hold!"
Chu Yunsheng's anger was just beginning to show. Then I heard the Lamborghini make a harsh racing sound, and then with a bang, a broom flew high into the air.
problem occurs!
Chu Yunsheng was agitated, and driven by a certain psychology unique to Chinese people, he immediately ran over to this intersection. Small car accidents often occur, and sometimes you can hear fierce collisions on the road while sitting at home. The most serious one is that the owner of a battery car who ran a red light was run over by an earth-moving truck and died on the spot.
The front cover of the beautiful sports car was terrible, with white smoke emitting from it. Opposite it was a cleaning truck rolling on its side, with garbage inside scattered all over the floor. The scene was very scary.
There is a broom in the distance. No one is seen on the ground for the moment, but there is a small bridge on a flat road in front. Maybe the person was knocked away or fell into the water under the bridge. The speed of the car just now was really too fast. It was definitely Over 70 yards!
Chu Yunsheng glanced back at the Lamborghini. Behind the windshield, a girl with a delicate face turned pale and stayed in her seat, motionless, as if she was scared to death.
There was no one around. At this point in this city, most people were still lying in bed. If Chu Yunsheng hadn't had nightmares and hauntings last night and stayed up all night, he would never have gone out so early, or I've never been out so early.
The silent environment made the violent scene even more terrifying. There were no groans or calls for help, indicating that the person who was knocked away was either unconscious or dead!
Chu Yunsheng heard the cleaner coughing on another road next to his house. There must be someone there. He looked forward again, but still couldn't find it. He probably fell under the flat bridge. In the river.
The river was very dirty, and there was a lot of sewage discharge. If a person fell in, he would not float up immediately. Chu Yunsheng wanted to call the police immediately, maybe he could save someone's life, but he took out his cell phone in his hand and looked at the river. A Lamborghini with a very impressive license plate hesitated.
In China's harmonious society, not all good things can be done. Twenty years ago, an old woman would be enthusiastically "dragged" by children even if she was crossing the road. Today, twenty years later, everyone is surrounding the old woman who falls on the ground. Come on, Chu Yunsheng is just an ordinary citizen. When he meets powerful people, he will at most cynically flirt with his colleagues and friends behind his back. When he really wants to face them, he is no longer a child and knows how many risks there are. big!
A Lamborghini, an impressive Shanghai license plate number, what does it mean behind it? Chu Yunsheng knows very well that there are more than two months left before the sky rail closure day mentioned in ancient books. He never leaves the ancient books in his family. If extraneous matters arise at this time, the consequences will be even more disastrous.
The always cautious Chu Yunsheng rubbed his nose, and finally put his phone back in his pocket, chose another safe method, and turned around to walk towards the Lamborghini.
When the girl in the car saw Chu Yunsheng approaching, there was a hint of panic in her eyes, and she subconsciously touched something again.
Chu Yunsheng walked to the car and knocked on the glass.
The girl didn't look like a heinous second-generation or third-generation rich man. She might have been really frightened. The sound of Chu Yunsheng knocking on the glass made her shiver and she hurriedly lowered the window.
"Call the police quickly!" Chu Yunsheng pointed to the iPhone on the LV bag in the passenger seat and said.
The girl was very beautiful, especially her skin, which was smooth and delicate. When Chu Yunsheng reminded her, she suddenly picked up the phone and dialed 110. Instead, she dialed 110 for another person.
"Dad, I killed someone!"
After saying that, the girl couldn't help crying in the car.
A middle-aged man's deep voice came from the other end of the phone. He was very calm. Chu Yunsheng only heard the last sentence: Yingying, don't be afraid, call the police first, then wait at the scene, don't walk away, and cooperate with the police comrades to take notes. , don’t mention dad’s name, dad will ask Secretary Yang to rush over immediately and take over. "
"It turns out he is a second-generation official."
Chu Yunsheng growled in his stomach and saw the girl start to dial 110 tremblingly, so he was about to run away.
Unexpectedly, the girl quickly got out of the car and said to Chu Yunsheng: "Wait a minute, don't leave, okay?"
There were no ghosts on the road. The girl looked nervously at the messy and violent ground, probably because she was afraid that she would not know where the corpse was when she was alone. Chu Yunsheng was still alive after all.
At this time, bus No. 966 drove slowly out of the morning light like a lazy man who was not awake. Chu Yunsheng immediately quickened his pace, ran towards the license plate as if running away, and said: "I'm in a hurry to get to work."
The girl looked at Chu Yunsheng with almost pleading eyes. She kept looking at Chu Yunsheng sitting on the bus, passing by her alone, and slowly driving through the messy and violent scene.
…
Chu Yunsheng was sitting on the bus with lingering fears, thinking to himself that today was really full of evil. First he had nightmares, then he was haunted, and he encountered a car accident when he went out. The series made him uneasy and he always felt that something was wrong.
There were only two people on the bus, and the driver kept talking to Chu Yunsheng, asking about the car accident.
Chu Yunsheng didn't pay much attention to him, thinking about his own matters, and walked all the way to the company building.
He came too early today and the company had not yet started work. He waited in the lobby for a while. After about 7 o'clock, more and more people started to arrive. At 8 o'clock, he saw Yu Xiaohai rushing in with a briefcase from a distance.
"Xiaohai, this way!" Chu Yunsheng waved to him.
Yu Xiaohai was surprised, ran over quickly, and said with a wicked smile: "Brother Chu, you came so early, do you also want to show off in front of your new boss? I heard that she is a beauty, and she is also a little turtle. hey-hey."
"It's none of my business." Chu Yunsheng took the bag aside, made room for Yu Xiaohai, and said seriously: "Xiaohai, I'm here to resign. The thing I told you last time -"
Yu Xiaohai showed a surprised look and said: "Wait, wait, Brother Chu, are you kidding me? I thought you were joking! Brother Chu, boss, eldest brother! That's just a legend, absolutely impossible It’s true, I dare to bet you, just be rest assured!”
"When did I ever make such a joke with you!?" Chu Yunsheng frowned his chin and said seriously.
Yu Xiaohai was frightened by Chu Yunsheng's serious expression. He was stunned for a moment and stammered: "No, no, Brother Chu, you made me a little dizzy. I've thought about this too, but I always feel it's unreliable. Besides, there are so many people in the world and they are not afraid, so why should we worry?"
"If you don't prepare now, it will be too late then!" Chu Yunsheng stood up and walked to the elevator, knowing that he could not convince Yu Xiaohai. No one believed him now. Even his aunt on the phone was worried whether he had been sick recently.
Yu Xiaohai also couldn't figure it out. He shook his head, followed Chu Yunsheng, and said in a low voice: "Brother Chu, I heard that the little turtle has taken office as a new official. If he wants to establish international standards, he must first get engineering skills." All procedures, designs, and drawings must be standardized and modularized. I heard from rumors that she will clear a lot of obstacles in order to get results early. You are the old man who worked for the former rustic Manager Zhao. Be careful not to let her get the hang of it."
"Didn't I say that I'm here to resign? Let her do whatever she wants!" Chu Yunsheng pressed the 21st floor button and said nonchalantly.
