it in the dark

Filled with resentment, Lu You turned off the phone, and the elevator made a "ding" sound and stopped at the parking lot on the first basement.

The moment the elevator door opened, a gust of sluggish cool wind rushed towards his face, which slightly relieved the sticky feeling caused by the hot sweat. When Lu You stepped out of the elevator, a small gray shadow flashed past his feet, Instantly disappeared into the darkness.

On this hot weekend when he was forced to work overtime, what was waiting for him at the entrance of the elevator in the underground parking lot was not his cute girlfriend, but a mouse.

Lu You's mood was indescribable for a while.

He let out a breath, put the phone back into his pocket, and buried the idiot leader who arranged for him to work overtime today into the darkness.

Since it was the weekend, there were almost no people in the unit's underground parking lot, but there were not necessarily fewer cars than on weekdays.

Their unit building is next to a large shopping mall nearby. People come and go, and there are always many cars. There are often not enough parking spaces in the mall. Usually, when going to work, you can see a bunch of unscrupulous drivers parking on the side of the road.

I don’t know which shrewd parking lot administrator found a business opportunity from it, and reported it to the leader. Since then, the unit’s garage has become a public toll parking lot on weekends, which not only solves the problem of random parking, but also solves the problem of supporting the family Subsistence problems.

Lu You glanced at the guard guarding the elevator entrance next to him, who was sleeping there with his eyes closed and his chin resting on his face. He looked to be in his early twenties.

Lu You suddenly became a little envious. After working in other places for a long time, it is inevitable that he will feel a little depressed. He can't wait to put down the annoying work at hand, put on sanitation clothes, and pedal a bicycle to sweep the streets.

Compared with mental work, he really envied pure physical work.

But thinking about it again, he is only 28, single, and there are two older couples in need of support at home. The pressure of life makes him have to pay the price of losing his hair and continue to stay in that stupid job in that stupid company.

Saying goodbye to the young guard who could make money while sleeping, Lu You chose to accept the embarrassing fate in front of him.

Because it is the weekend, in order to "save electricity", the underground parking lot usually chooses to turn on the lights to the minimum. Those who drive can turn on the lights, and those who walk can distinguish where is the road and where is the car.

Lu You has a low degree of myopia, and he doesn't like to wear glasses on weekdays. He squints habitually when looking at people. Colleagues said that his eyes have an unpredictable sense of blur.

This feeling of confusion still has a little effect in attracting the little girl, but it is a pity that facing the dark underground parking lot, it is useless to be confused, he can't see the way clearly.

Reluctantly, he took the phone out of his pocket again, and the moment he pressed it on, he found that there was no new news from the idiot leader. Lu You breathed a sigh of relief, and wished that idiot would have blurred eyes as soon as possible.

He turned on the flashlight and illuminated the road ahead, and the sides that were not illuminated by the light instantly fell into deeper darkness.

After walking a few steps, the phone vibrated twice. Lu You clicked on it with the expectation of a miracle happening, but the idiot leader did not disappoint him. What he was dissatisfied with had to be added at the end: the young man still needs to improve.

Lu You had the urge to throw the phone out on the spot, and let the idiot die quickly.

Just before he raised his hand to throw, a car horn suddenly sounded around him, interrupting Lu You's impulsive behavior.

He calmed down, and after a little thought, he realized that this phone was bought with his own hard-earned money anyway, and it was extremely stupid to have trouble with money for that stupid thing.

He came to his senses, replied politely, and added a smile at the end of which he couldn't understand the true meaning at the age of an idiot leader.

This little thought made Lu You feel better in an instant. Following the sound of the horn just now, he wanted to know which kind-hearted person stopped him in time, but he couldn't find it. It seems that kind-hearted people don't like to leave their names when they do good deeds. .

Probably because the underground parking lot is almost opaque, which also blocks the heat from the outside. During the dog days, the outside is so hot that it can burn people, but the inside is very cool.

Passing through a car entrance, Lu You found that the door inside was closed. No wonder the parking lot is so dark today. It was appointed that the sleeping guard was lazy and didn't open it.

Lu You walked all the way with the flashlight on his mobile phone. Because of work needs, he wore a pair of casual leather shoes. When he stepped on the ground, the sound spread out and dissipated in the surrounding darkness. He suddenly felt that the parking lot was a bit empty today. Unique.

He's now on the east side of the parking lot and has to walk a long way to the west side because he parked there.

For a long time, Lu You didn't understand why the underground parking lot was set in the direction of "∏", as if it was deliberately embarrassing, and it had to go around in a big circle from east to west.

It may be because people who drive need to exercise more while walking.

Lu You was not stupid enough to find a way for himself. His office was originally in the west building of the office building, but the stupid leader asked him to go to the east building to deliver documents. point.

He has walked this parking lot many times, and he remembers the road very well. According to his usual speed, he will arrive in 10 minutes.

Lu You was bored walking, and occasionally used his mobile phone to take pictures of the surroundings, and the densely packed cars were all there.

After working, he doesn't like to study cars very much. In this utilitarian society, most of the time, the car you drive determines your status. The price of the car rises with the price of the car, which is both disgusting and realistic.

The proportion of luxury cars today is obviously lower than usual, and the most expensive is an Audi A8, probably because ordinary people prefer to go shopping, while rich people open their own shopping malls.

Lu You lost interest after looking at it for a while, the car is just a means of transportation, it can run even if it is expensive, and it can run even if it is cheap.

He walked forward bored.

There was a buzzing sound coming from the front, and the sound grew louder as it went forward. It sounded a bit like construction. Lu You raised his phone and took a photo.

Inadvertently, I saw two people standing in front of the right. I don't know what they were talking about. The voice was quite loud, but because of the buzzing sound, Lu You couldn't hear clearly. Anyway, they were either joking or arguing.

He continued to search for the source of the humming sound, and when he got closer, he realized that the sound came from a metal pipe box above his head. He stood there and listened to it.

I don't know how the sound came from, but it is most likely coming from the air conditioner. In such a hot day, those who turn on the air conditioner upstairs are comfortable, but those who watch the car downstairs are out of luck.

Lu You saw that there was a table under the metal pipe box, and there was a sign on duty on the table, and the person on duty had slipped away.

It's normal to slip away, but any normal person will get something wrong if he stays under the movement for a long time.

The sound is so loud that standing under the pipe box is like decorating next to the human ear.

Lu You quickened his pace, just wanting to leave this noisy place quickly.

Go further, turn a corner and there is a straight road leading north.

As Lu You turned around, his eyes suddenly became brighter, because it was an open and straight road, even if there were fewer lights on, there were not so many places for darkness to hide.

Lu You happened to be tired of lifting the phone, so he turned off the flashlight and put it in his pocket.

Headed north and finally got rid of the annoying hum.

The ears were relieved from the noise, and the surroundings were suddenly eerily quiet. Except for the sound of his own footsteps, Lu You could hardly hear anything.

He realized now that apart from the sleeping guard at the elevator entrance and the two people just now, he seemed to be the only one left here.

Quiet as hell.

But he is an atheist, even if he believes in the so-called ghosts and gods in the world, he probably wouldn't feel more horrified by the temporary mission led by that idiot.

In the middle of the silence, the phone rang suddenly, and he didn't know who was calling him at this time.

He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was an unknown number with an unknown location.

These days, people have learned to be smart, and fraudulent calls with such numbers are becoming less and less common.Anyway, since he had nothing to do, Lu You thought it might be better to have a chat with him, so he picked it up.

When the phone was picked up, Lu You said "Hello", but heard a "Ding", that person seemed to have just gotten off the elevator.

No one spoke on the other end of the phone, but there was a sound of footsteps, which sounded like walking in an empty space. In more detail, it probably looked like this underground parking lot.

"Hello, hello, who are you?" I have to admit that the trick of the liar's playing hard to get worked, and Lu You really wanted to meet him.

The strange thing is that the man kept silent, as if he made a wrong call.

Lu You tried to ask the other party again, but still didn't get a response. Maybe it was really a wrong number. Although the phone is in his pocket, the probability of unintentionally broadcasting an unknown number is very small, but the small probability event is not equal to zero.

After all the fun, Lu You was about to hang up the phone, but the footsteps on the opposite side suddenly accelerated, as if he was in a hurry.

It's really not good to eavesdrop on others like this, but Lu You seemed to be seized by an inexplicable feeling and wanted to continue listening.

Although the footsteps on the opposite side are speeding up, they don't feel rushed. The pace is still even, without any confusion, as if a person walking slowly has been pressed the fast forward button.

Lu You couldn't figure out what kind of posture that person was walking, anyway, it was inexplicably weird.

As we walked, a little sound gradually sounded from the opposite side, and then it became louder and louder. It was the hum of a machine.

Lu You felt that the voice was inexplicably familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he found that the voice was very similar to the sound of the iron pipe just now.

Maybe it was just a coincidence, Lu You felt that he was overthinking. When the buzzing sound on the other end of the phone became louder and louder, he tried hard to distinguish the difference between the sound and what he heard just now, but he heard something mixed in. The voices of two people talking.

He suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing behind him, chilling his back.

Could it be that such a coincidence really happened?In this underground parking lot where you can hardly see anyone, someone accidentally dialed his phone and was walking the same way he just walked?

The most incredible thing is that those two people are still talking in that place?

Although the probability of such a thing happening has been equated with zero in Lu You's mind, it can't be a supernatural event.

So he went on listening.
