Mansion Raiders

Just like many people who learn to draw, after watching the teaching video several times, I feel that I know it well, but when I really started to paint, I was stunned to draw the ice cream taught by the teacher into a lump of cake.

Comrade Xia Leyang is like this. After being possessed by a female ghost twice, he thought he had completely mastered a certain skill, but when he really moved his mouth, he couldn't control the force, and his teeth scratched Shang Tingzhi several times without saying anything. , and gnawed the root hair down.

"You're going to kill me laughing." The female ghost sat on the kitchen counter, looking at the poor banana in Xia Leyang's hand, "Didn't you see that you gnawed off a layer of skin on that banana?"

"That's why I want to practice." Xia Leyang stuffed the banana into his mouth for a while, then took it out, and sincerely asked the female ghost, "What about this time?"

"Are you breathing air?" The female ghost laughed so hard that her stomach ached, "Why don't you try it with a popsicle."

"There are no popsicles at home." Xia Leyang muttered.This banana is also the winner he selected among cucumbers, eggplants and other ingredients, because the flesh of the banana is soft, and you can clearly see whether his teeth have been knocked or rubbed.

"You can't do this." The female ghost crossed her legs leisurely, "A banana won't tell you how it feels."

Xia Leyang wondered: "Then..."

"You might as well ask him to sacrifice again," the female ghost said, "Just use him to practice."

Hearing this, Xia Leyang immediately frowned: "That's not acceptable." It's too embarrassing.

It was Shang Tingzhi's first attempt before, making him so comfortable, but when it was his turn to play, he performed so poorly. He didn't want to admit that Shang Tingzhi was better than him.

Especially last night when he went out of the bathroom and asked Shang Tingzhi if he wanted to continue, Shang Tingzhi looked like he saw monsters and ghosts, and said "no" three times in a row, which deeply hit his self-confidence .

"Or how about this." The female ghost curled her hair with her index finger and suggested, "You let me possess you, and I will demonstrate and teach at the same time."

"Hey, this method works." Xia Leyang slapped his chin, thinking that this proposal is good, but he immediately thought that Shang Tingzhi would find out, and said with a sad face: "It still doesn't work, so he knows I'm asking you for advice?" .”

The reason Xia Leyang practiced secretly in the kitchen was because she didn't want Shang Tingzhi to know.

However, the kitchen in the Gu family mansion is an open kitchen. As early as Shang Tingzhi passed by the courtyard for the first time this morning, he had already found Xia Leyang talking to the air while eating bananas in the kitchen.

It wasn't a big deal at first, after all Xia Leyang had been hanging out with female ghosts every day for the past few days, but when he saw Xia Leyang eating bananas, he immediately understood what Xia Leyang was doing.

He thought it would be good for Xia Leyang to practice more, but when he passed by the courtyard for the second time, he happened to see Xia Leyang lose his patience in practicing, and bit off most of the banana in his hand.

He swallowed silently, forcing himself not to think too much.

When Xia Leyang took a nap in the afternoon, there was an extra email in his mailbox, which was sent from Wang Zuyu's work mailbox.He didn't expect Wang Zuyu to reply to the letter, but he didn't expect this female celebrity to be so unassuming.

Wang Zuyu didn't know who Xia Leyang was talking about, and if Xia Leyang could provide some photos, she could help to look at them, but she couldn't figure it out based on Xia Leyang's description alone.

However, she mentioned that in their era, many wealthy businessmen from the mainland went to Hong Kong to do business, and many of them married to the mainland.

Since Wang Zuyu was willing to help, Xia Leyang's first thought was to ask Xu Zhiruo for a photo.

Back then, the female ghost committed suicide in the Gu family mansion. There must be records. However, when Xia Leyang approached Xu Zhiruo, he realized that there was no electronic filing of the archives in that era. Later, when it was recorded in the computer in a unified way in 30, suicide cases like this were not recorded. Handwritten archives from [-] years ago are likely no longer to be found.

Xu Zhiruo said it very tactfully, at first Xia Leyang wanted to ask him to look for it, but Shang Tingzhi reminded Xia Leyang that Xu Zhiruo probably found it troublesome and didn't want to help.

"Then how else can I find the picture of the female ghost sister?" Xia Leyang was worried with his mobile phone, not knowing how to send a message to Xu Zhiruo.

"Would you like to describe her to Wang Zuyu?" Shang Tingzhi looked at the surrounding air, he only heard Xia Leyang said that this female ghost is very beautiful, but he didn't know what this female ghost looked like.

Xia Leyang thought for a while in silence, and suddenly a flash of inspiration: "I see."

The next day, Xia Leyang got the Polaroid from online shopping, and he stuffed the camera into Shang Tingzhi's arms: "The ghost images in the movie were all shot with Polaroids, come and help us take a picture."

Shang Tingzhi: "..."

Xia Leyang specially greeted the female ghosts to sit on the sofa in the living room, each with their backs straightened, their hands neatly placed on their knees, as if they were taking a family portrait.The female ghost even followed Xia Leyang's suggestion and pushed her bangs to the back of her head.

However, after Shang Tingzhi pressed the shutter on them, Xia Leyang was the only one in the photo that came out.

The female ghost twitched her lips, turned around and floated upstairs: "I just said it's useless."

"Hey, don't go." Xia Leyang looked at the photo in his hand, and if he looked carefully, he could still see a very faint silhouette on his side, "Is it because your mana is not strong enough during the day, why don't you take pictures at night? "

The female ghost ignored Xia Leyang and went back to rest in the bathtub.

Xia Leyang suddenly felt a little distressed, obviously the female ghost was talking to him every day, the interaction between the two was so real, but he couldn't find any evidence that the female ghost had lived.

Seeing Xia Leyang's disappointed look, Shang Tingzhi rubbed his head and asked, "Is that why you want to help her?"

"Yes." Xia Leyang said with drooping shoulders, "She is so nice."

Shang Tingzhi thought for a while and asked, "How about I go and find out who went to Hong Kong for business?"

"Huh?" Xia Leyang suddenly raised his head and looked at Shang Tingzhi, "Are you willing to help?"

Xia Leyang knew that Shang Tingzhi didn't care about the female ghost at all, and almost treated her as if she didn't exist.Besides, Shang Tingzhi himself is not a nosy person, so Xia Leyang never thought of asking Shang Tingzhi for help.

"Don't you need it?" Shang Tingzhi asked.

"No." Xia Leyang chuckled, "Thank you, how about I help you tonight..."

Shang Tingzhi was startled, and quickly waved his hands: "No more."

Xia Leyang gave a "cut", thinking that it was rare for him to be kind, and this magic stick was not happy.

At night, Xia Leyang took a Polaroid and dragged Shang Tingzhi to the bathroom, and called the female ghost out again.

The female ghost sat lazily on the edge of the bathtub and asked listlessly, "What are you doing?"

Xia Leyang shook the Polaroid in his hand, and said to the female ghost: "Try to see if the effect will be better at night."

The female ghost rolled her eyes in disgust: "Do all the work that is useless."

But she lifted her bangs up in cooperation.

When Xia Leyang came to the bathtub, he felt that the edge was too narrow to sit on, so he discussed with the female ghost to sit in the bathtub.The two sat down facing each other, the female ghost leaned against the head of the bathtub, while Xia Leyang leaned against the end of the bathtub.

After setting up the pose, Xia Leyang made an OK gesture to Shang Tingzhi, and Shang Tingzhi got the signal, picked up the Polaroid and pointed at the two of them and pressed the shutter.

With a crisp "click", the light in the bathroom flickered suddenly, Xia Leyang looked up subconsciously, and when he looked back, he was the only one sitting in the bathtub, and the female ghost had disappeared.

"Where is the person?" Xia Leyang stepped out of the bathtub, looked up and down, and somehow the female ghost disappeared.He walked up to Shang Tingzhi and asked, "How about the photo?"

Shang Tingzhi frowned and looked at the photo in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Look for yourself."

The colors on the photo paper gradually became clearer, Xia Leyang stared at the photo blankly, holding his breath in fright.

The bathtub is still the same bathtub, but the surrounding scene is different from the present, obviously the scene from the past.Xia Leyang was sitting in the bathtub, smiling brightly at the camera, but he was surrounded by blood, and the opposite of him...

The female ghost's head was resting on the edge of the bathtub, her face was bloodless, her eyes were staring at the camera lens blankly, her blood-soaked hair was scattered outside the bathtub, and under the hair was a knife covered in blood.

"This is the scene where she died?" Xia Leyang stammered, his back turned cold with fright.

"It should be." Shang Tingzhi looked up from the photo, and looked around calmly.

"What about her?"

Xia Leyang looked around and called out, "Sister female ghost?"

A murmur sounded from the corner of the bathtub, and the figure of the female ghost gradually emerged. She looked at the bathtub in a trance, raised her eyes and said to Xia Leyang, "Has the picture been taken yet?"

"Uh..." Xia Leyang glanced at the photo in Shang Tingzhi's hand, but what was strange was that the female ghost disappeared in the photo, and the scene was still the same, except that he was sitting in the bathtub alone.

Xia Leyang swallowed his saliva and said, "I still haven't captured you."

The female ghost sat in the bathtub without saying a word. Xia Leyang thought she was feeling lost and was about to comfort her, but the female ghost suddenly said slowly, "I remembered something."

Xia Leyang asked: "What's the matter?"

The female ghost said: "I don't seem to have committed suicide."

Xia Leyang was taken aback, then stammered and asked: "Yes, someone killed you?"

The female ghost nodded gloomily.

Xia Leyang asked again: "Then do you remember who it is?"

This time the female ghost shook her head.

Xia Leyang took a deep breath, looked at Shang Tingzhi and asked, "What should I do?"

Shang Tingzhi couldn't hear the female ghost's voice, but he probably guessed the conversation between the two from Xia Leyang's words.He asked, "Did she be killed?"

Xia Leyang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Go find Xu Zhiruo tomorrow." Shang Tingzhi said, "Does she remember who the murderer is?"

Xia Leyang said: "I don't remember."

Shang Tingzhi exhaled, and comforted the nervous Xia Leyang, "Don't worry, we can ask the police to investigate."

It was the first time Xia Leyang encountered such a thing, even if Shang Tingzhi kept comforting him, he couldn't calm down, and he was still lying on the bed tossing and turning in the middle of the night.

Shang Tingzhi was so disturbed by the movement around him that he couldn't sleep, he pressed Xia Leyang into his arms, but after a few minutes of being honest, Xia Leyang lifted the quilt again, got up and turned on the bedside lamp.

"Yangyang?" Shang Tingzhi's eyes didn't adapt to the light for a while, and he narrowed his eyes slightly to look at Xia Leyang who opened the iPad.

Xia Leyang picked up the capacitive pen with a serious face, and wrote and drew on the iPad: "I can't just wait like this."

Shang Tingzhi said helplessly, "We'll go to the police tomorrow."

"I don't know when the archives will reach." Xia Leyang stared at the screen intently, "I'll draw the female ghost sister first and show it to Wang Zuyu, maybe I can find out her identity as soon as possible."

The soft light from the bedside lamp shrouded Xia Leyang who was serious about painting, as if outlining a shining golden line.

Shang Tingzhi was caught in the heart by this golden thread, and the more he looked at Xia Leyang, the cuter he felt.

He thinks he is not a great kind person, nor does he have the good qualities of being brave and saving lives.But Xia Leyang is different. Although this little annoying person is often stingy, he is kind-hearted and willing to help others.

Thinking of this, Shang Tingzhi stood up and asked softly: "Can you still draw?"

The capacitive pen in Xia Leyang's hand moved rapidly, he frowned slightly and said, "Who knows how to draw?"

Shishi Tingzhi had already sat up, and his eyes fell on Xia Leyang's screen.

He looked at what could barely be called a stick figure on the screen, twitched the corners of his mouth, and lay down again with empty eyes.

Alright, thank goodness that this little annoying person won't make any trouble.
