our supernatural life

After the small year, it is the big year.On the [-]th day, Mai closed the store early.A few customers saw him lowering the door panel when they passed by, and asked with a smile: "Little boss, it's so early today, you don't do business anymore?"

Mai Mai smiled back: "It's New Year's Eve today, go home to celebrate the New Year." When he said this, he was really happy.Ever since his mother passed away, he has been celebrating the New Year alone, and because of the tight budget, it is not the same as usual. Sometimes when he hears the sound of firecrackers outside, he still feels extraordinarily bleak.This year is different, with Shao Jing here, clamoring for Xiaomai to prepare this and that, and buying a bunch of fireworks, it made him feel like the New Year.Originally, he wanted to take Shao Jing back to grandma's house for the New Year, but the Xiao family's affairs couldn't get away, so he had to forget it.

Putting down the door panel, Mai Mai said "Happy Chinese New Year" to Gui Zi'er and Ye Ding in advance, then sent them a red envelope, and parted happily.Shao Jing went to Xiao's house from time to time these few days. It was said that Xiao Shiqi's health was very poor, and he was afraid that he would not be able to make it to the first day of the new year, so Shao Jing went to Xiao's house again today, and promised to be back before seven o'clock. Go home and prepare the dishes first, and serve dumplings as soon as he enters the door. After the New Year's Eve dinner, he just started watching the Spring Festival Gala.Although the Spring Festival Gala is becoming more trash every year, it still has an atmosphere.

Although it was only six o'clock, there were very few people on the street, and everyone went home early to prepare for the New Year.Mai Mai walked a few steps to the station, thought for a while, and then took a detour to Santiao Street to buy some ice cream. Shao Jing likes to eat cold drinks from this shop.

Because it was inconvenient to go to the usual station to take the bus after taking this detour, so Xiaomai took another bus, and arrived home anyway, but got off in the other direction.

This road is very quiet.Nearby is a newly built building, the supporting facilities have not been fully built, and not many people have moved in, so it looks particularly deserted.Mai Mai hurried away with her things, while thinking about what to cook.He was so engrossed in his thoughts that when he reached a corner, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the shadow he cast on the wall.

The street lights were very bright, and his shadow was clearly cast on the ground and the wall along the way, but at this corner, Mai found that his shadow had changed shape.For the first few seconds, he didn't react. He subconsciously looked at his own shadow while still walking. It wasn't until he turned the corner and reached the straight road that he suddenly realized that something was wrong!

The street lamp was behind him, casting a long shadow in front of him, but it was not a human shadow, and something sticking out from the waist of the shadow was shaking gently. After careful inspection, Maimai was sure that it was a tail .

Mai Mai subconsciously turned around to look behind him. Of course there was no tail. He didn't have a tail in the first place, and there was nothing like a tail dragging behind him. So where did the tail on the shadow come from?

Xiaomai suspected that he was wrong, but when he looked back, he found that the shadow had changed again—the shadow had changed into four legs.Yes, indeed four legs.He has now walked between two street lamps, and his shadow is much shorter than before. With these four feet and a tail, this is no longer his shadow, but that of an animal!

Mai Mai felt a chill down her back.animal?what animal?Now he is the only one on this road, and there is no other living creature at all, so what is it that casts his shadow?

Mai Mai was so nervous that his body was a little stiff. He walked mechanically, kept observing the shadow, and quietly touched his pocket with one hand.Since he discovered the Xuanyuan Mirror last time, Shao Jing asked him to take it with him, saying that it was better than amulets for dispelling yin.It was originally prepared for them to go to Xiao's house to deal with the stand-in array, but Xiaomai carried it with him in advance for fear of forgetting it.Now he put his hand quietly into the pocket of his coat to feel for the mirror.Afraid of losing it, he tucked the mirror in the interlayer pocket of his coat. Now that he was holding things in his hands, it was even more difficult to touch.

The streetlight in front is getting closer and closer. At this time, the shadow should continue to shorten until it reaches the foot, and then move behind and then gradually lengthen.But Maimai found that the shadow on the ground no longer shortened, but gradually expanded until it tripled in size.At this time, the four legs and a fluffy tail can be clearly seen, but the head is always hidden in the shadow of wheat, so it cannot be seen clearly.Two of the four legs coincided with the shadow of Maimai, so every time Maimai took a step, he saw two legs moving forward on the ground, that feeling - he saw so much that he almost tripped himself by taking a wrong step.

It was very cold, but Maimai felt that his back was wet, and even his underwear stuck to his back.He wanted to run, wanted to call Shao Jing, but Shao Jing was too far away, even if he flew, he couldn't come over right away, and he was afraid that something would provoke this monster, and maybe he would kill him passionately...

The shadow swelled up again, no, it wasn't swollen, it was the head of the shadow that appeared, and those things that looked like mane appeared on the shoulders of the wheat, it looked like the head of the wheat grew on a monster, and those The mane is still slowly growing upwards, from the wheat's shoulders to the head.

Xiaomai suddenly realized that it wasn't the mane growing, but the head of the invisible monster following him, which had been raised to a level with his head.

The floor tiles under his feet seemed to have turned into cotton, and Maimai felt that his legs were going weak. He finally touched the mirror and held it up in front of him with slightly trembling hands.The mirror surface was smooth and shiny, reflecting the face of wheat, and then he moved the mirror to the side. At this moment, he smelled a stench coming from behind, just like the smell of the lion and tiger mountain in the zoo, and then he saw the mirror surface blacken.

Mai Mai's tense nerves finally broke, he turned around suddenly, and smashed out the ice cream box in his hand.The moment he turned around, he saw a black hole behind him. The road, street lights, and even the high-rise buildings on the side of the road seemed to be missing a piece. In this black hole, he vaguely saw a few white things. It took him a second to realize that it was four canine teeth...

A ray of light hit the bronze mirror, it was the light from upstairs on the side of the road, and it was already very weak here.But the bronze mirror suddenly lit up, Xiaomai flipped the mirror subconsciously, and a white light shot out from the mirror.Mai Mai heard a strange whistling in his ears, like the sound of air being forcibly pulled out, causing eardrums to hurt.Then the street lamps and buildings appeared again, but the ice cream box he threw disappeared.

If he didn't remember that he must have bought ice cream, Xiaomai would almost think that the black hole just now was just his illusion, but the cold feeling of holding something in his hand is still there, so everything... should be real...

Mai Mai took out her mobile phone with trembling hands, dialed the number and looked left and right. The surrounding was quiet, and she could vaguely hear the sound of other people's TV sets, but Mai Mai just wanted to run wildly.The phone was connected, and Shao Jing's voice came over: "What's the matter? I'll be home soon."

"I, I met--"

"What's wrong!" Shao Jing immediately heard something wrong in his voice, "What's wrong? What happened to you? A robber? Or—take out the mirror! Where are you?"

Wheat announced the place: "I took out the mirror, and that thing seemed to have disappeared, but I don't know if it's still there."

"Hold the mirror and keep looking around, I'll be there soon! Turn on the phone, I want to hear you anytime."

Mai Mai held the phone in one hand and turned the mirror left and right with the other, but the mirror was never as bright as before.About 10 minutes later, a Paloje rushed up at a high speed like an F1, and a drift made an emergency stop. Before it stopped, Shao Jing opened the car door and jumped out: "Wheat!"

Mai Mai's tense nerves did not relax until this time. Shao Jing held the mahogany sword in one hand and the talisman paper in the other, observing the surroundings vigilantly, and beckoned after a while: "Get in the car."

Pajero started and drove out of this road, Mai Mai was still holding on to the mirror: "Is that thing gone?"

"It should be gone." Shao Jing grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and hugged him with the other, "What did you see?"

"A black hole... I guess, it should be an open mouth."

"Black hole?"

It was only then that Mai Mai calmed down, and told Shao Jing about the changes in the shadow in detail, and she couldn't help but get goosebumps while talking.Shao Jing frowned after listening, "Shadow? Could it be some kind of ghost? It's in the shape of an animal..."

"The tail is a bit like a lion." Wheat recalled, "and the hair on the head is also like a lion's mane."

Shao Jing shook his head: "I've never heard of such a ghost."

"Could it be a lion spirit?"

Shao Jing still shook his head: "The dragon had nine sons, but one son was named Suan Ni, who was shaped like a lion, but he didn't appear as a shadow."

"What's that?" Mai Mai couldn't help looking back at the car.They have already arrived at the gate of the community. After such a toss, it is almost seven o'clock. Someone in the community has started to set off firecrackers. The lively atmosphere, bright lights, and no shadows exist at all, so his heart is at peace. down.

Shao Jing stopped the car and pulled him upstairs: "I don't know what it is, but it probably didn't follow. Are you scared?"

Mai Mai felt somewhat ashamed: "I...can you teach me something?"

"Taoism?" Shao Jing smiled indifferently, "Teaching is fine, but just because you have yin and yang eyes, it doesn't mean you can learn Taoism. In this way, when the Xiao family's matter is resolved, you can learn it."

Wheat nodded.As a man, he doesn't want to show weakness. He also feels a little awkward being protected by Shao Jing all the time.

Shao Jing patted him: "I forgot to ask you, what are you doing on that road over there if you don't go home after get off work?"

"I'll buy you ice cream—" Mai Mai spread out her empty palms, "But...I smashed that thing with it, it's gone..."

Shao Jing laughed loudly, hugged him and kissed him in the corridor: "Go, get the firecrackers, let's set them off too! It's booming, let's celebrate the new year!"

Mai Mai struggled: "I haven't eaten yet!"

Shao Jing smiled maliciously: "Oh, yes, eat. Let's go, eat first, then set off firecrackers, and then... eat you! From this year to next year."

Shao Jing did eat wheat from this year to next year, oh, now it should be said that he ate it from last year to this year, that is, from 11:30 to midnight.Then, it was interrupted by a phone call.Of course, this call was from the Xiao family. Xiao Shiqi's condition suddenly deteriorated and he couldn't hold on anymore.So Shao Jing had no choice but to get up in the heat of the day and rush to the hospital.

Xiao Shiqi lives in a private hospital, the same hospital where Bai Luobo works, the top floor is the intensive care unit.

Mai Mai has a good memory, so he always remembered that when he said he wanted to follow Shao Jing to watch him practice, Shao Jing once told him not to be scared, but he made a face and said, "I'm not so timid".

Sometimes a good memory is not a good thing, at least Xiaomai thinks it is not good.Now he stood in the hospital toilet, pouring cold water over his face to suppress the nausea that was surging in his chest.As soon as he entered the ward, he saw Xiao Shiqi lying on the hospital bed. His face was already covered with dark purple blood vessels, and the muscles on his face were stiff. When he looked carefully, he could see the skin was vibrating constantly, as if there were countless blood vessels underneath. An ant is crawling.A little bit of dark red blood seeped out from his seven orifices. Although his eyes were wide open, he couldn't see anything. The whites of his eyes were also covered with red blood, and blood flowed from the corners of his eyes, like tears.There was only one lawyer in the ward, and although he tried to be calm, he still showed an expression of fear.Seeing Shao Jing coming, it was like seeing a savior: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xiao, he, he..."

Shao Jing walked to the hospital bed and took a look: "He's dying. What did you inject him with?"

The lawyer's lips trembled slightly: "Morphine... the old man said it was too painful, and he started injecting morphine a few days ago."

Shao Jing shook his head lightly: "Injections are useless. Physical pain can be solved with anesthetics, but spiritual pain, no one can do anything about it."

Mai Mai stood behind Shao Jing and looked at Xiao Shiqi.Xiao Shiqi was not dead yet, and his eyes rolled from time to time, indicating that he was still alive and suffering.Mai Mai took a few more glances, and suddenly grabbed Shao Jing, and his voice changed a bit: "His ears..." Xiao Shiqi's ears were filled with black energy, and when he looked closely, he found that they were two villains, with half of his body already It got into his ear canal, leaving only two feet outside.Shao Jing sighed slightly: "It was the two ghosts who were outside the glass that day, and they came to claim their lives."

The lawyer couldn't see anything, and hearing Mai Mai and Shao Jing's words was even more creepy: "What, what the hell? Where is it?"

"Drilling into his brain." Shao Jing took off his coat casually, and said flatly, "Eating flesh and skin, this is a deep hatred. If they don't finish the report, people can't die, and the debt can't be paid off."

A thin layer of sweat broke out on the lawyer's forehead: "Then, then... what should I do?"

Shao Jing looked at his watch: "How long has it been like this?"

"Yes, it's been more than three hours."

"Then it won't be long. Cremation done?"

"Cremation?" The lawyer didn't respond for a moment.Shao Jing frowned: "The ashes are collected by filing the bones. Once you die, you will be cremated immediately. The ashes will be scattered on the mountain to be trampled by others. Not one grain will be buried in the ground."

The lawyer's expression changed in shock: "But...but the family members haven't come yet..."

Shao Jing said impatiently: "I don't care about others, the person I want to see will be called over immediately."

The lawyer still wanted to speak, but Xiao Shiqi on the hospital bed suddenly trembled, and a whooping sound came out of his half-open mouth, which didn't sound like a human voice, but rather like the futile howling of a dying beast.The two small figures in the ear had been completely drilled in, and then began to bleed out from his ear canal, with some lumpy white unidentified objects in the blood, half-stained red by the blood.The lawyer took a step back and asked in a hoarse voice, "This, what is this?"

Shao Jing replied, "Brains."

Mai Mai vomited as soon as he turned around, and all the things in his stomach that hadn't been digested in time rushed up together, so he didn't care about anything else, he rushed out of the ward, went straight to the toilet, and vomited upside down in it.

So now he's standing in the toilet with cold water running down his face.The corridor was already bustling, and Mai Mai heard a woman's sharp voice talking about something, roughly speaking of inheritance, shares, and the like.Mai Mai didn't want to go out, he felt that the Xiao family was very cold, and the people inside probably hadn't died yet, so they started arguing?It is said that these people are not short of money, so what are they arguing about?

I don't know how long it took, the corridor was quiet again, Mai Mai probed out to have a look, and the people had dispersed.He walked to the door of the ward, thought about it but didn't have the courage to go in, so he sat down on the chair in the corridor.After a while, the door of the ward opened, Mai Mai looked up, and it was Shen Gu who came out: "Uh, Brother Shen--"

Shen Gu was a little surprised: "Mai? Why are you here?"

Just as Mai Mai was about to answer, Shao Jing also came out: "Have you finished vomiting?"

Mai Mai's face turned pale, and he felt his stomach churning again.Shao Jing sneered, and took out a handkerchief: "Dry your hair, go out and put on your hat, or don't blame me if you catch a cold." As he said that, he showed a twitchy look in his eyes, obviously mocking.

Mai Mai snatched the handkerchief and wiped her head resentfully.It's not the bastard Shao Jing!Why didn't he say that Xiao Shiqi would be... don't think about it, think about it and throw up!Shao Jing smiled nonchalantly: "Let's go."

Mai Mai hurriedly told Shen Gu to follow each other, and Shao Jing asked as he walked, "How long have you guys known each other? Why are you still calling so affectionately?"

Mai Mai was taken aback, and quickly turned around to look. Fortunately, Shen Gu didn't follow, probably because he didn't hear this sentence: "What are you talking about! Didn't you say that Brother Shen was the landlord of the magazine I applied for before!"

Shao Jing snorted, "Landlord? Did the landlord call you Maimai?"

"What's the name if it's not called Wheat?" Wheat didn't know what to say, "Everyone calls it that..."

Shao Jing frowned: "Gui Zier, they all call you Maizi?"

Mai Mai didn't understand what he meant, and was about to speak when Shao Jing's cell phone rang: "Zhou Qi?"

"Young Master, Happy New Year!" Zhou Qi was laughing and laughing on the phone, and the voice was very lively, "I'm in Longhu Mountain now. By the way, let me tell you something, Liangzi is out of customs, we will go there together tomorrow, Liangzi said, he also wants to see wheat."
