it in the dark

He glanced at the first vehicle entrance that was still closed next to him. There was no ray of skylight that he longed for, but there was a young man in a security uniform with a bucket in his hand, yawning and walking towards him.It was the one that Lu You was sleeping when he got off the elevator.

"Hey, over there, what are you running for?" The young man saw Lu You's body was bright red, and ran to this side in a panic, and called him, but he was not afraid.

For the first time in Lu You's life, he was almost moved to tears when he saw a living person. He almost hoarsely shouted at the other person: "Help! Help!"

The young man obviously didn't expect him to yell like that, and was startled: "What happened?" He looked at the color of his body and thought it was the same as the one in his bucket, which was also red paint.

Seeing Lu You running towards him, the young man looked back, thinking that someone was chasing him, but he only saw an empty road.

"Nothing?"

The young man looked at Lu You with a puzzled look, and saw that the other party was really frightened, probably because he was at an early age, and when the young man felt that he could be a hero once, he thought that no matter what vicious person he was, , he can be beaten all over the ground to find his teeth.

"Ghost, there is a ghost!" Lu You pointed at the ghost figure that was approaching him, and the young man rubbed his eyes to make sure that he saw correctly, there was indeed nothing there.

He began to wonder if the man in front of him was scared out of his wits.

Before he could speak, Lu You had already dragged him to run, as if there was really an invisible ghost chasing them.

The young man ran inexplicably, threw off Lu You's hand halfway, and shouted at him: "There is no such thing in this world, are you scared stupid?"

Any child who knows something knows that there are no ghosts in this world.

But when he was looking at Lu You like a lunatic, there was a shrill scream from the empty road behind him, like a woman crying desperately.

The young man's heart tightened following the sound, and he turned his head to look at the empty space opposite him in disbelief. That sound came over for no reason.

"It's right there." Lu You pointed to the opposite side, and the ghost figure was chasing him relentlessly. At this moment, it stopped quietly in front of him, and it was so dark that the specific outline could not be seen clearly. If it had In terms of facial features, Lu You is sure that those eyes must be looking at him greedily at this moment.

But the young man at the side said that he couldn't see anything. Lu You lowered his head and found that the bucket he was carrying was filled with the red liquid with a strong aroma. Without a word, he grabbed the bucket and threw it at the ghost.

The originally unclear figure turned into a blood-red and clear existence in an instant.

The young man couldn't believe what he saw, the red shadow just floated in the air, his chest rose and fell slightly, as if he was still breathing.

"This... this..." He hesitated and couldn't say a word. It turned out that there really are ghosts in this world.

"Run!" Lu You pulled his arm and ran to the elevator not far away with the last of his strength.

It's almost here, the ghosts are afraid of the sun, as long as they take the elevator and return to the ground, they will be saved.

It was this belief that supported Lu You to run the last way. He held the young man's wrist, as if he was running with his last life.

"what!!!"

The young man beside him let out a scream. Lu You turned his head and found that the bright red ghost figure had clung to him at some point, with his head stuck on his neck, and a stream of bright red blood remained from there.

A faint smell of blood permeated the air, mixed with the already greasy fragrance, the strange smell made Lu You's breathing stagnant.

"Run... run!" The young man shook off Lu You's hand that was holding him, trying to get rid of the ghost on his body, but his hands were covered in bright red.

His lips were already pale, obviously caused by excessive blood loss, he looked at Lu You helplessly, and motioned for him to run if he could.

The bright red ghost seemed real, but when he reached out to grab it, it seemed to be nothing. Lu You stepped forward to grab a handful, but he seemed to have touched nothing.

The ghost let go of the young man because of this grasp, Lu You took the opportunity to pull him back, supported him and continued to run.

He held Xiaonian in his arms, and the two staggered towards the elevator. For some reason, the speed of the ghost seemed to slow down suddenly.

The two finally ran to the elevator entrance. Lu You almost tremblingly pressed the up button. Fortunately, the elevator stopped at the negative floor, and the door opened with a ding.

Lu You helped the young man to go in, but heard the young man yell in a low voice. Lu You felt that he seemed to be pulled by something, and turned around to find that the ghost was holding the young man's hand with one arm, and the bright red fingertips were embedded in the flesh.

Xiaonian's neck was still bleeding, but this time with his arm, his face was astonishingly pale.

Lu You didn't know where the strength erupted, and he slashed at the ghost with one hand, forcing it to let go of the young man, but the ghost seemed to be crazy, screaming and screaming, and in the madness, it grabbed the young man again. clothes corner.

The buzzing sound of the iron pipe above came here, mixed with the cry of the ghost, and went straight into Lu You's mind.

The little young man was dragged and half stuck in the elevator entrance, and the elevator door could not be closed. In desperation, Lu You pulled off the belt around the young young man's waist and lashed towards the ghost.

The ghost was drawn, but it didn't hurt. It screamed like crazy, its figure kept flickering, and the red liquid kept flowing down, as if passing through its body.

Lu You swung the round belt and pulled it towards it again, and retracted his sharp fingers just before touching the little young man. It seemed that every movement of Lu You made it dodge unintentionally.

The red color slowly disappeared on it, and Lu You found that the parts that lost the color coverage also disappeared together.

I don't know if it is also frightened, its head is constantly twisting, making a snoring sound, as if something is stuck in its mouth, Lu You waved the belt in his hand, but gradually heard it clearly in his ears.

snoring.

snoring.

The rhythm is clear.

The ghost seemed unwilling. It wanted to get into the elevator, but Xiaonian was stuck at the door. Sensing its intention, it exhausted its last bit of strength, broke away from Lu You's support, and stepped back out of the elevator, together with the disappearing ghost. together.

He pressed the door close button for Lu You at the last moment, feeling the ghost behind him grabbing his collar, the young man slowly closed his eyes.

He thought he was going to die, but before he fell to the ground, he felt a pair of hands holding him tightly, pulling him back before the elevator door closed. Squeezed hard, fell to the ground, and then disappeared into a cloud of black smoke.

He couldn't hold it any longer and passed out.

With a sound of "Ding", the elevator door opened, and the eyes were blinded by the scorching sun, and they returned to the ground floor.

Pedestrians in twos and threes outside the glass wall of the building looked sleepy in this scorching weather. Lu You blocked his eyes with one hand, and the light almost made him cry. Only now did he realize that the sunshine is so beautiful.

After that day, Lu You resigned.

The superior leader was quite surprised when he received his resignation application, and said a few words of regret, but he didn't keep him after all.

He tidied up his desk. He didn’t have many things at first. He left all the useful ones to his close colleagues. He took away the rest of the useless ones and threw them away. Nothing was taken away.

His black Volkswagen was dragged out of the ground and sold cheaply as a second-hand car. It wasn’t an expensive car at first. After selling the old one, he planned to buy a new one. This time, he won’t buy a Volkswagen. He fell in love with a friend before. The one I recommended to him in a few days has low fuel consumption and sufficient power, and it will definitely be cool to drive.

He plans to find another city to settle down, change to a new job, and go to a unit without an underground parking lot.

When he got out of the parking lot that day, he never went in again. After watching the news, he found out that three people died that day, a vacation worker hiding in a grizzly bear, a van driver who died in a freight elevator, and a man who had just been released from prison. robbers, but without his leader.

However, his leader was indeed dead, but it was thousands of miles away in Beijing. He encountered a serious traffic accident and went there on the spot.

The incident in the parking lot was reported on local TV and newspapers for a long time, but in the end, no one was able to find out who did it. It happened that the surveillance cameras at the two elevator entrances were broken that day. It is said that the driver of the van accidentally spilled red paint. It got on the monitoring line, otherwise, Lu You might be identified as the murderer.

The parking lot was closed for a period of time after the accident, and it was refurbished and put into use again. People seem to have gradually forgotten what happened that day.

Only Lu You remembered clearly that after he came out of the parking lot that day, he was covered in blood and went to the warehouse to change his clothes. At that time, he felt that if the ghost was gone when the police arrived, he might be identified as the murderer. , No one can believe that all this is done by ghosts and ghosts.

He threw away the blood-stained clothes, rubbed some blood and red paint on the young man, and rushed to the hospital as fast as possible. When asked by the doctor, he said that he was the person he met on the road, so he was spared. Go to the trouble of explaining.

The doctor said that Xiaonian was poisoned, which made him unconscious all the time, but he couldn't find out what the poison was, and he hasn't woken up to this day. It may be like this in the future. Xiaonian's family came over, his father was in tears, and his mother In a coma on the spot.

What a human tragedy.

Lu You started his brand new life, a new city, a new job, and new friends. He recently met a girl, and he intends to develop further with her. He is working hard every day to get closer to her. Going in a good direction.

He almost forgot everything that happened in that parking lot. Only occasionally when he dreamed back in the middle of the night and woke up from the fright would he feel that something was missing in his life.

He went to see a psychiatrist, and the doctor said that he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, and he had selectively forgotten something. As for what it was, he might be able to recover under certain stimuli, or he could let an insider explain it to him .

However, the doctor advised him not to try to retrieve that memory, because since he chose to forget it, it must have brought him great pain, so Lu You no longer persisted.

The only thing that puzzled him was that he could even remember everything in the underground parking lot that day so clearly, what else could cause him extreme fear and selective forgetting?

He didn't mention it to anyone, and gently buried the opened corner of the past.

One day, he returned to his hometown by accident, opened an old photo album by accident, and found a photo in a very inconspicuous place. In the photo, he was with a strange woman. The woman was young and beautiful. Although it was just a photo, Lu You fell in love with her at first sight.

But how could he have no impression of such a beautiful woman?Looking at himself in the photo, he probably looked like four or five years ago, but he couldn't remember anything.

The only thing behind them is the white SUV whose license plate number starts with the word "Shanghai". Lu You saw it in the underground parking lot before, and it was parked opposite his car. From inside the car, he heard a shrill female voice, snoring. Loud sound, that's his name.

Lu You.
