"The vehicle is about to start, please stand up and support the passengers on the vehicle, the next stop..."

Listening to the broadcast on the bus, Ji Xinxi secretly shifted the center of gravity of his body from his left foot to his right foot, so as to relieve his sore legs.

She is a senior student of F University in F City, and now is the time to go out to find an internship, but today she ran from one end of F City to the other and applied for 7 companies, none of which were willing to hire her.

Tired for a whole day, she didn't have time to drink her saliva, she was so weak that she could barely stand.

"Little girl, I'm free, please sit down." A plainly dressed old woman waved to Ji Xinxi, motioning her to sit down, with a friendly smile on her face.

Ji Xinxi didn't say a word, and still stood on the bus by pulling the rings of the bus.

"Little girl, can you hear me talking to you? I see that you look very tired. Sit down and have a rest." Seeing that Ji Xin ignored her in the past, the old grandma was not angry, and still warmly talked to Ji Xin. Talk to me in the past.

Ji Xinxi took out his mobile phone and slid his fingers on the mobile phone as if he was browsing some information.

"The stop ahead, Qiutang Park." The announcement of the bus suddenly sounded, and then the body of the bus shook. The bus stopped on the platform, and the door opened with a "chuck!", and a middle-aged woman got on the bus.

She glanced left and right, strode to where the old lady was, and sat down. The passengers around her didn't respond at all, and they didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this woman's behavior.

Only Ji Xinxi could see that the moment the woman sat down, the old lady who was sitting on that seat instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated in the air. She tightened her grip on the phone and exhaled slowly. An advertisement for beriberi was playing on the screen, and she couldn't remember how she clicked it.

"Ah! I fell asleep just now. Didn't Xiaoyuan say she was waiting on the platform? Didn't she catch up?"

"You're sleepy and confused, the next stop is the one she said."

The two girls sitting behind the middle-aged woman were talking. The girl who said she was asleep just now stretched her waist, took the arm of the short-haired girl next to her and said, "Is the next stop right? Then she is lucky." Yes, the seat in front of you is empty."

Ji Xinxi was stunned and subconsciously looked over there. Wasn't the short-haired girl sitting in front of the middle-aged woman who got into the car just now?

At this time, the middle-aged woman slowly raised her lowered head, and showed a strange smile to Ji Xinxi, blood was continuously flowing out from her open mouth, and her fat neck suddenly split After a huge wound, only half of the neck was still connected, she noticed that the red short sleeve she had always thought was actually just soaked in a lot of blood, and the original color was no longer visible.

"Little girl, I told you to sit in the past. You can see that the seats are all dirty now." I don't know when the old lady was standing beside Ji Xinxi just now, looking a little regretful, and said in the shaking bus. In the car, she stood firmly without relying on any external force, and her meticulously combed hair was disheveled on her head.

The sweltering carriage was suddenly terribly cold, and Ji Xixi's heart shrank violently for an instant. She didn't dare to turn her head back, and swallowed with difficulty, her eyes still looking in the direction of the middle-aged woman, and then she sighed faintly. Said: "It's good to be young~" It seems that there is still nothing wrong with the surroundings.

"Ding dong! We've arrived at the intersection of Huifeng, please get on and off the bus in an orderly manner." The bus stopped at a new platform at this time, and a girl stepped into the bus as soon as the door opened, and the two girls who spoke just now waved to her hint.

At this time, the middle-aged woman also got up and walked towards Ji Xinxi. Ji Xinxi watched the girl who got on the bus pass the middle-aged woman's body head-on without feeling it, but the woman raised her hand to support her. Shaking her head, the section of the wound fell into her eyes during the movement.

Ji Xinxi couldn't take it anymore, and quickly got out of the car before the door closed. She could feel the old man and the woman chasing after the car door mixed with a dark wind, and then the door closed and all the sensations disappeared, but she didn't pay attention. When the old man's hand was about to grab her, a frightened and distorted expression appeared on his face, as if he had sensed something extremely terrifying.

Ji Xinxi felt the sultry summer evening wind again, recalling the scene she saw just now, she couldn't help the stomach churning, covered her mouth and rushed to the side of the road to vomit, she hasn't eaten anything today , Retched a few times and could only spit out a little sour water.

He took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped his mouth. Ji Xinxi looked around. It was two stops away from her home. Although she was very tired, she didn't want to wait for the next car. Taking out the earphones and putting them on, turning up the volume of the phone to the maximum, she hurried home.

Back home, Ji Xinxi let out a sigh of relief, couldn't hold it any longer, threw off his shoes and sat down at the dining table, picked up the water on the table and poured it down, not caring if it was leftovers from his morning drink. After a while, she felt that the sour taste in her mouth had diluted a lot, she lay down on the table tiredly, the picture on the bus kept flashing in her mind, and she closed her eyes in pain.

Ji Xinxi grew up in an orphanage. According to the director of the orphanage, her father died before she was born, and her mother passed away after giving birth. sent to an orphanage.

Since she was a child, she knew that no one would come to the orphanage to find her, and the funds of the orphanage were very limited, so she was very self-reliant and relied on the scholarship she earned to maintain her studies. It was not until her third year of high school that a lawyer found her. , told her that her mother had a house in F City, and it would be officially transferred to her name when she became an adult.

At that time, she was still a few days away from her birthday, and this news made her extremely excited. She immediately applied for a university in F City, thinking that as soon as her 18th birthday passed, she would usher in a new life.

As a result, on the day of her 18th birthday, her life changed dramatically. Not only did she own a house, but she also had a special ability on that day, that is, she could see things that ordinary people could not see.

At first, it was just that she couldn't see clearly in front of her eyes, and she occasionally saw double images when looking at things. She didn't care about it, but it was just due to visual fatigue. Gradually, this happened more and more frequently, and she began to suspect that something was wrong with her eyes Problem, so I went to the hospital for a detailed examination, and the result was that she was in very good health, all indicators were very good, and she didn't even have the sub-health that young people often have.

Ji Xinxi was an atheist through and through, so she let go of her heart and attributed it to her physical reaction caused by too much thinking, which led to excessive mental stress. She began to adjust her work and rest to maintain a happy mood.

But all this did not make the situation better, on the contrary, it got worse. She began to see some faint shadows gradually, and then those shadows became clearer and clearer, from being able to see the outline to seeing the original face clearly .

She began to understand that what she saw could no longer be explained by science. She began to search the Internet for help, and visited those so-called experts in reality, but the problem was still not resolved.

The appearance of these things is always without warning and without rules, which has seriously affected Ji Xinxi's daily life. She tried to tell people about it, but no one believed it. Those who said they believed her on the surface, secretly But Li laughed at her as a freak, so she became more and more withdrawn, and she didn't even have a friend to talk to.

She also gradually learned to adapt from being afraid at the beginning, after all, life still has to go on.

For so many years, she never dared to reveal that she could see them in front of those things. She vaguely felt that once they found out that she could see, she would never be able to return to the world of normal people.

Until today, this is the first time she can hear the voices of those things, and they seem to realize that they can see. The fear deeply enveloped her, and she felt that she was trapped in a nightmare, and she could only be alone. Struggling in a dream but never waking up.

The only thing that made her fortunate was that she had never seen those things in the house left by her mother. It seemed that her mother was protecting her from intrusion, allowing her to take a short breath .

When Ji Xinxi opened her eyes again, the pointer on the wall had already pointed to 10 o'clock. She got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower and refresh herself.

Hungry, she opened the refrigerator and found that there were only a few bottles of milk that were about to expire, and nothing else. She frowned and closed the refrigerator, and opened the cabinet next to her to solve it with instant noodles.

She reached out her hand to touch the cupboard twice, but she didn't find the expected instant noodles. She couldn't believe it and rummaged through the cabinet, and finally found the last pack of instant noodles in the corner. She sighed and started to boil water .

A few minutes later, Ji Xinxi was sitting at the dining table eating her last ration, turned on her mobile phone and began to check her balance, seeing the few hundred yuan left and a few coins in her wallet, she put down her mobile phone indifferently.

If she didn't find a job as soon as possible, she estimated that she would take the initiative to join the camp of those things.

Early the next morning, because of yesterday's overwork, Ji Xinxi missed her first alarm clock. When the alarm clock rang for the third time, she reached out to touch the phone irritably. After seeing the time clearly on the phone screen, she Hastily uncovering the cover, the muscle soreness during the action made her gasp.

She didn't care about many things, and started dressing and washing in a hurry. She had an interview this morning, which was the most promising one in her opinion, and she must not miss it.

After hurriedly leaving the door, Ji Xinxi raised her hand and looked at her watch. If she followed her original route, she would definitely not be able to reach her destination on time. She gritted her teeth and turned her head and decided to take a shortcut.
