Xie Xiaoyu stiffened and stood on the spot.
An icy chill penetrated her entire body.
She couldn't hear any sound coming from the receiver, she could only hear her breathing and her heart beating wildly.
boom! boom! boom!
boom! boom! boom!
The heartbeat was beating so fast that it even hurt my chest.
It seems like it can pop out of your throat at any time.
Xie Xiaoyu felt something cold, which seemed to be whirling on the back of his neck.
It was as if some unknown existence appeared behind him at some unknown time.
At this moment, he was breathing cold breath close to his neck.
what is that?
Is it a ghost?
Xie Xiaoyu froze in place.
She clenched the phone receiver in her hand and stood there blankly, staring straight ahead.
Xie Xiaoyu saw Wang Qing standing not far ahead, standing under the street lamp.
Wang Qing faced her.
But Wang Qing stood there, motionless.
He didn't seem to notice what was happening to Xie Xiaoyu in the phone booth.
Xie Xiaoyu's whole body was cold, and his hands and feet seemed to be immersed in an ice cellar.
The most important thing is that the cold wind is blowing on her neck, getting closer and closer.
The glass of the phone booth was extremely smooth, and Xie Xiaoyu could vaguely see his own silhouette from above.
But through the glass, she couldn't see what was behind her.
Xie Xiaoyu hesitated whether to look back.
Suddenly, she heard a voice coming from the phone receiver again.
It was still a girl sobbing, but this time, it was accompanied by painful gasps and low moans.
The man seemed to have left.
Xie Xiaoyu couldn't hear the man's voice on the phone.
The beatings seemed to have gone away.
Xie Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
I don’t know if it’s for myself or for the girl on the phone.
Just when Xie Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl on the phone started talking.
"I didn't do anything wrong, why are you doing this to me?"
The girl's voice was filled with sobs, as if she was asking herself or Xie Xiaoyu who answered the phone.
Xie Xiaoyu held his breath, bit his lip, and said nothing.
She didn't seem to know what else to say at this time.
Was she going to speak out to comfort that thing in Dianli who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost?
After the girl asked this question, she was silent for a while, as if waiting for Xie Xiaoyu's answer.
But Xie Xiaoyu said nothing.
Finally, the girl spoke again.
"Why me... I just want to do something good and help a bunch of people around me."
"I didn't do anything wrong. Didn't my parents say that I should help them when they encounter difficulties?"
"Who can help me……"
Xie Xiaoyu couldn't say anything.
She just stood there quietly, holding the receiver against her ear.
In the receiver, the girl's voice gradually became weaker, and even her sobs gradually disappeared.
But Xie Xiaoyu could feel the coldness behind him getting stronger and stronger.
It made him just want to hang up the phone call as soon as possible.
Can't hear the sound coming from the phone.
Xie Xiaoyu couldn't help but wonder, is the phone call over?
She silently recited the rules she had written down in her mind.
[5. When the phone booth on the street rings, please go forward and answer it. No matter what the other person says, please listen to it to the end. 】
Once you've finished answering the phone, you should be able to hang up.
Xie Xiaoyu was hesitating whether to hang up the phone.
Suddenly a voice sounded in his ears again.
A voice very similar to the girl on the phone.
But this time there was no sob, and it was cold without any emotion.
"[Rule 11, never look back.]"
Xie Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment.
Immediately, she realized that the voice was not coming from the phone receiver.
Instead, it was pressed close to her ear, accompanied by a cold breath that faintly passed into her ears.
Xie Xiaoyu counted down with hair all over his body.
There is indeed something behind her.
However, that thing didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her.
Xie Xiaoyu realized this and forced himself to endure the urge to rush out of the phone booth, but still stood there.
Hear Rule 11.
Xie Xiaoyu immediately remembered a folk custom he had heard about not turning back when walking at night.
According to legend, there are three fires on a person's head and shoulders. If you turn your head, the fire on your shoulders will be extinguished.
At this time, ghosts from the outside world will take advantage of the situation and sneak in.
And the voice continued to speak in Xie Xiaoyu's ears.
She said: "Look at your shadow."
Another... shadow.
Rule 10 is, [Look down at your shadow. 】
Is there anything special about shadows?
The woman's voice continued to repeat:
"Watch your shadow."
"Look...your shadow..."
"Your...shadow..."
The faint air-conditioning kept pouring into Xie Xiaoyu's ears.
Xie Xiaoyu finally thought of something.
She stopped staring ahead.
His stiff neck slowly bent, his head slightly lowered, and he looked at his feet.
The cold light of the street lamp shone through the glass into the phone booth.
Xie Xiaoyu's shadow was reflected on the ground, a little blurry.
However, Xie Xiaoyu clearly saw that
There seemed to be something superimposed on her supposed normal shadow.
That thing was hanging on her back.
Like... a woman?
Or... is it the ghost who is talking to her behind her neck and ear?
Xie Xiaoyu immediately understood——
This is a reminder!
By looking at the shadow, she can be reminded if a ghost exists!
At this time, the woman's voice, close to Xie Xiaoyu's ear, sounded again.
"Thanks……"
A very light sound.
Like it will dissipate when the wind blows.
As the words fell, Xie Xiaoyu felt a lightness on his back.
The cold chill disappeared.
The ghost...has left?
Xie Xiaoyu stood there blankly, still holding the phone receiver in his hand and not putting it down.
"Du-du-du--"
From the phone receiver, there was the sound of the phone hanging up.
The phone call is over.
Xie Xiaoyu quickly hung up the phone receiver in his hand.
She rushed out of the phone booth.
Walking in the direction of Wang Qing.
After taking a step or two, Xie Xiaoyu stopped again.
Her eyes fell on the shadow at Wang Qing's feet again.
A very normal shadow, illuminated by the streetlight above, looked a bit short.
but……
Xie Xiaoyu's eyes fell on Wang Qing's hand.
The plastic bag fell heavily.
The shadow of the plastic bag is also cast on the ground by the street lamp.
But is it really just a bag of garbage?
"What are you doing there now? Why don't you come over?"
