unspoken

Have you ever experienced that feeling that you're dead the moment you realize it?

Have you ever experienced the feeling that all the bones in your body are broken into pieces, and the pain is so painful that you want to die immediately?

Have you ever seen... the picture of your own dead body when you open your eyes?

You must have never experienced the painful feeling of being reincarnated every time a broken soul is bound by an object.

——"On that day, don't take the elevator to the fourth floor."

- "What day?"

——"The day when something in the cabinet disappears."

--"why?"

——"Hush..."

After celebrating my grandfather’s birthday, the Chinese New Year will follow, but Yin You and the others have no plans to spend the holidays in the country because Father Yin has returned from the army, invited a few colleagues and family members, and booked a room at the M City Hotel New Year's Eve dinner.

As his two sons, Yin You and Yin Sha were naturally going to be there.

M City Hotel, the most upscale hotel in the city center, has a total of 31 floors and a rooftop swimming pool. It can be seen that the people who come here are either prominent or wealthy.

Heat, floral scents and elegant music.

The two brothers entered the hotel one after the other. Because Yin You seldom came to this kind of high-end restaurant, he craned his neck to look around as if he had discovered a new world, lying on the marble wall for a while, and licking the high-end vase for a while. The fake flowers made passers-by look at them with strange eyes.

Yin Sha rubbed his forehead. If they hadn't dressed very formally and looked neat, they would have been thrown out by the security guards within a second of entering the restaurant.

Even when you take the elevator, you will be amazed by the crystal chandelier above your head.

Fortunately, there were only Yin Sha and Yin You in the spacious elevator, so no unnecessary trouble was caused.Yin Sha looked at Yin You, who was full of energy, and showed an imperceptible smile.

Ding.

The elevator reached the fourth floor, and the door slowly opened.

A man with a cold face came in, and Yin Sha recognized him as soon as he looked up.

"Teacher Lin?" Yin Sha called out the other party's name.

"Yin Sha." Lin Yi heard the sound, glanced at Yin Sha, and then turned his gaze to the other person in the elevator, "And..."

"This is my brother, Yin You." Yin Sha introduced, and secretly nudged Yin You who was still not knowing what he was doing with his elbow.

"Oh! It's Yin Sha's teacher? Hello, it's a great honor to meet you." Yin You came back to his senses, and reached out his hand to shake Lin Yi.His palms were as cold as Yin Sha's.

"Well, what are you doing here?" Lin Yi asked.

"Eat New Year's Eve dinner." Yin Sha replied, "How about you, Teacher Lin?"

"Work." Lin Yi said concisely.

Ding.

Lin Yi looked up at the digital display, "Let's go first, goodbye."

"Goodbye, teacher." Yin Sha nodded.

Lin Yi got out of the elevator on the 16th floor, but he didn't go far. Instead, he said something that confused the brothers before the door closed.

"By the way, don't take the elevator to the fourth floor after 23:4."

The door closed.

"..."

"..."

The two brothers looked at each other in blank dismay, Lin Yi's unfounded words completely bluffed them, after 23:4?elevator? [-]th floor?

"By the way, besides working at school, your teacher also comes to work in this kind of big hotel?"

"This... I haven't heard of it." Yin Sha also had a look of disbelief, "And Teacher Lin's family is considered a big family, so it is impossible for them to be poor enough to work part-time at the same time."

"Family? Such a grandeur!" Yin Youle was delighted. To be called a family, one must not only be popular, but also have a reputation. Only those who have a large number of talents in a certain field can call themselves a family.The Yin family used to be called a family, but that was the era when cold weapons were still popular.

Just as they were talking about Lin Yi, the elevator reached the floor they were going to.

As soon as the two brothers entered the door, they were hugged by Yin's father Xiong.

Yin You looked at this father who looked like Yin Sha, but his personality was far from Yin Sha's, and kept pushing away the arm that strangled his neck.

Father Yin warmly greeted them to sit down, and then introduced his two sons to his colleagues who he was proud of.

Yin You chatted with Yin's father's colleagues very naturally. Don't look at Yin You's laziness at ordinary times, but he is quite demeanor when talking at the dinner table-it's all practiced, because Yin Cha just nodded aside, and occasionally Respond to simple words like "yes" or "no" and be extremely reluctant to get involved with these people.

Yin's mother arrived a little late, and when she arrived, everyone was there, and then began to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

A lively meal, with the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside the hotel one after another and the vulgar Chinese New Year music on TV, the atmosphere of Chinese New Year is getting stronger.The meal is almost finished, and desserts are brought in. Adults are not interested in desserts after a meal. At this time, most of them will open the window and smoke a cigarette to relax.

Yin You didn't smoke, and was allergic to the smell of smoke, so he reported it to Father Yin, and then slipped into the corridor.

"Ah, very full, huh?"

Yin You was walking in the corridor, stepping on the carpet comfortably, and saw a familiar figure.

"Isn't that Yin Sha's teacher?" Yin You thought to himself, just as he was about to go up to say hello, he saw a man standing opposite Lin Yi, in a suit and leather shoes, with a bluetooth headset clipped to his ear, anxiously talking to the indifferent Lin Yi talking about something.

Yin You knew at a glance that the person talking to Lin Yi was neither a customer nor a waiter, but looked like someone from the front desk or a manager.

"Wow, does Lin Yi have something to do with the owner of this hotel? Oh no, maybe this hotel is not necessarily owned by his family!"

Just when Yin Youyou was thinking about it, the man in the suit suddenly yelled: "I paid you to hire you, but you actually said that this matter can't be solved? The descendants of the dignified ghost hunting family can't even do this kind of thing completely?"

"..." Lin Yi's iceberg face was a little moved, and anger flashed in his eyes, "You still have something to hide from me. If you don't explain it clearly, I won't do it."

"I spend money, you do things, and you still ask so many people what to do!"

"I have done some research. In 1991, this hotel was just an ordinary small hotel. It has become such a large-scale star hotel in just 20 years. If your boss is not really capable, then it is because you have raised capable people. The brat who brought you wealth." Lin Yi said calmly, not being angered by the man in the suit, "Besides, the business of this small restaurant was not very good, and an elevator accident in 94 should make it even worse. Poor, but it became prosperous in 99, the money rolled in, and Feng Shui became better. It all depends on the incident in 94, the corpse, and the props for recruiting little ghosts. place, right?"

The man in the suit showed a terrified expression, as if Lin Yi was right.

"Don't waste my time, or do you want the police to solve it?" Lin Yi's eyes, which were usually like calm pools of water, now showed a falcon-like light.

The man in the suit lowered his head like a pickled cabbage.

"Hmph...so that's the case." Yin You said.

"Oh...so that's the case." Yin Sha, who was standing behind Yin You, said.

"Drink!! Yin Sha, when did you stand behind me?!" Yin You was startled.

"Since you sneaked out." Yin Sha said, "Speaking of which, you have a hobby of eavesdropping. I discovered it for the first time in my 19 years of life."

"How dare you call me..." Yin You thumped Yin Sha's head.

Yin Sha avoided it easily, "But I really didn't expect Teacher Lin to be a ghost hunter, although I felt that way from the beginning." But I was a little surprised when it was confirmed.Taking his class every day, I can more or less notice that he has a different feeling from ordinary humans, whether it is the feeling of being close to another world, or the feeling of stepping into another world, the feeling that Lin Yi gave him It feels like I will never be an ordinary teacher.

The ghost hunter is named after Siyi, a person who hunts ghosts.Unlike magic sticks, real guns and live ammunition, speak with strength, never come to falsehood, usually someone pays them to do things.Many ghost hunters work alone, and very few of them act as a family. The Lin family is currently the largest ghost hunting family, and none of the descendants they have cultivated are fuel-efficient lamps.Having said that, there are very few people in this industry at present, and 1000 out of 2 people is considered too much.

"Not everyone can see ghosts like us, and there are even fewer who are capable of hunting ghosts." Yin Sha analyzed, "So you can't do this kind of thing. You don't have more than ten years of study and actual combat. Ghost hunters will die."

Yin You's eyes froze, "I wouldn't do this kind of thing, I wouldn't take my life as a joke." Just kidding, if he died, wouldn't Yin Cha tear down the entire Great Wall, um... probably It will also lift Qinling.

When Yin You and Yin Sha were arguing here, Lin Yi had already finished talking with the man in the suit, and the man in the suit left with a displeased expression on his face. Lin Yi was not idle, and turned to go to the elevator.

"Let's go and have a look too!" Yin You suggested, and before Yin Sha could react, he sneaked up on Lin Yi.

"Wait!" Yin Sha yelled softly, but he didn't wait for a response, obviously being selectively ignored by Yin You.Yin Sha looked at Yin Youyuan's back in annoyance, and had no choice but to follow.

The author has something to say:

Lin Yi is one of the protagonists from my other supernatural short story "Ten Nights Talk" (the name in the text is Xiao Yi)

It's just that in "Unspoken" is equivalent to being in a parallel world.In this world, Lin (Xiao) Yi was not abandoned by the Lin family, but was brought up. He went to school normally, entered a higher school, graduated, and then became a teacher at M University (because of family reasons, he was a teacher on the surface and a ghost hunter secretly).

Therefore, if you didn't enter a certain city's No. [-] middle school, you didn't meet Gu Yang... (One of the protagonists of "Ten Nights Talk")

I wanted to write this kind of "butterfly effect" setting for a long time, and I was a little excited just thinking about it! !
