"Pa-ta...Pa-ta...Pa-ta..." The voice outside the door was approaching little by little.

Li Manshui sneaked a glance at Xu Jian who was next to him, who was concentrating on the door, not paying attention to himself.

Li Manshui opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it, because the voice was already behind the door at this moment.

"Crack...crack...crack..." Just like that night, the slow and strange knock on the door began.

Li Manshui reached out to pull Xu Jian who was next to her. Xu Jian glanced at her, gestured for silence, then got up and got out of bed, and walked towards the door.

In order to make as little noise as possible, Xu Jian didn't wear shoes, stood barefoot behind the door, and listened closely to the knocking sound.

After listening to it for a long time, Xu Jian found that the sound was not so much a knock on the door as a knock on the door. The things outside seemed to be knocking on the door with their palms.Xu Jian looked back at Li Manshui, and waved to her.

Li Manshui got off the bed, and followed Xu Jian's example and walked over barefoot.

"Listen." Xu Jian made a mouth shape, and made Li Manshui move closer to the door to hear the strange knocking sound.

Li Manshui closed the door with one hand, leaned his ear against the door and listened carefully, but found that there was no sound outside the door.She shook her head towards Xu Jian and mouthed "no sound".

Xu Jian frowned, and in the next second she made a move that almost made Li Manshui scream, and she opened the door of the room.

Li Manshui backed away again and again, covering his eyes tightly, for fear of seeing something scary.

Seeing her like this, Xu Jian pulled her hand off, pointed to the door, and said, "There is nothing."

After hearing this, Li Manshui secretly peeked outside the door through his fingers, and it was indeed as Xu Jian said, there was nothing outside the door.

"How could it be..." Li Manshui put down his hand, a little unbelievable: "Just now... there was clearly a sound just now, I didn't have auditory hallucinations, right? You should have heard it too?"

"Well," Xu Jian nodded, "come here."

Li Manshui walked towards her obediently, Xu Jian pointed to the tiles outside the door, and said, "Something did come."

Li Manshui looked along where she pointed, and saw that the white tiles were covered with bright red blood stains, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be in the shape of a small palm.

"It's also on the door." Xu Jian pointed to the back of the door. There were also messy bloodstains on the dark brown wooden door.

"Where is that thing, where did that thing go?" Li Manshui's face was pale, obviously frightened, and he couldn't control his voice.

"It went outside." Xu Jian turned on the light in the corridor, and blood-red palm prints spread all the way to the door.

"Then what should we do now?" Li Manshui tightly grasped the hem of Xu Jian's clothes, his voice trembling.

Xu Jian thought for a moment, and said, "Follow me." After speaking, he lifted his legs and prepared to go out.

Li Manshui grabbed her and scolded: "Are you fucking crazy?! We don't know what it is, so what if something happens if we act rashly like this? How do you know it's not deliberately leading us out! "

Xu Jian was a little helpless, looked back at her, and said with relief: "If it wants to harm us, why didn't we act when I opened the door just now? Besides, do we have any other way besides going out? This is obviously to let us go out with it .”

Seeing that Li Manshui was still very reluctant, Xu Jian had no choice but to say: "If you are really scared, then I will go alone, and you stay here."

Li Manshui quickly retorted: "Are you kidding! What if it comes back to find me? I, I will go with you!"

Xu Jian seemed very satisfied with the answer, and said with a light smile, "Then let's go."

Li Manshui followed her step by step towards the gate. There were messy blood-red palm prints all over the corridor, which looked even more terrifying under the dim light.

When he reached the door, Li Manshui looked back at the fish tank in the corner of the living room.

The originally clear water in the fish tank turned blood red, and the fish inside seemed to be struggling, causing quite a splash.Li Slowshui hesitated, but in the end he didn't stop Xu Jian who was looking for something, and asked her to see what was going on.

"Here, we each have one." Xu Jian handed over an umbrella that had just been dug out of the cabinet.

It was still raining heavily outside, as if strange things would always happen on rainy nights.

"It's easier to act if we each support ourselves." Xu Jian seemed to see Li Manshui's doubts, and explained.But what she said made Li Manshui feel even more uneasy, as if something unpredictable might happen, so it would be more convenient... to escape.

"Let's go." Xu Jian took a deep breath, held the doorknob, looked back at Li Manshui again, and asked, "Are you ready?" Li Manshui nodded vigorously.

Xu Jian opened the door, and the blood on the floor tiles outside the door spread all the way down the stairs until it was hidden in the darkness.

The window in the stairwell was not closed, the sound of the rain covered everything, it was pitch black outside the window, the street lights were not turned on, only the moon was surprisingly bright.

Xu Jian walked down the bloodstain step by step, and the lights in the stairwell lit up one by one following her footsteps, until they reached the first floor.

Xu Jian stood under the eaves, and one step ahead was the pouring rain.

The rain fell, forming a small discontinuous rain curtain, making the outside scenery slightly blurred, as if separating reality from illusion.

Xu Jian turned on the flashlight that came with his mobile phone to take a photo, and found that the blood did not disappear in the rain, but miraculously formed a small "blood river" as the rain washed away, still guiding their way.

Xu Jian opened the umbrella, walked into the rain, and at the same time reminded Li Manshui: "Follow me closely."

Li Manshui quickly opened his umbrella and responded, "Okay."

The two walked into the rain together.

A small blood river guides their way, meandering into a bamboo forest in the community, and finally disappearing under a bamboo.

"No more?" Li Manshui asked.

"There should be something here." Xu Jian squatted down in front of the bamboo, and touched the soil near the place where the blood disappeared with his hands.

"It's so loose. This mud should be turned over by someone. You see, compared with the nearby soil, although this piece has been washed by rain, the piece where the blood is obviously gone is looser, and the rest is soft but solid. There is no trace of being turned over." Xu Jian compared the soil in the two places, and finally came to a conclusion.

"And then?" Li Manshui was a little confused, but in the end he still didn't understand what Xu Jian wanted to express.

Xu Jian sighed, thinking that he really shouldn't have too high hopes for Li Manshui's IQ, so he said directly: "There's something down here, we have to dig it out."

Li Manshui resisted and took a step back silently.

But Xu Jian didn't care about her at all, and just shouted: "Help me hold the umbrella." Then he squatted down, rolled up his sleeves, and started digging directly.

Li Manshui looked closer curiously, wanting to know what exactly Xu Jian would dig up. Although he was still very scared in his heart, curiosity always prevailed in many cases, otherwise the characters in horror movies would not die. up.

The things were buried a little deep, Xu Jian dug his hands full of mud, and finally dug out a big deep pit, and he didn't touch anything until he could see half of the roots of the bamboo.

Li Manshui saw that her movements stopped suddenly, and quickly asked, "What did you dig?"

Xu Jian replied: "It's hard, like something made of wood." Then, she vigorously wiped away the mud on the thing, revealing a piece of vermilion.

The rain kept falling, and the soil beside the flushing pit kept falling on the thing, Xu Jian hurriedly speeded up, and finally, the whole picture of the thing was displayed in front of the two of them.

It was a red wooden box.

Xu Jian picked up the box and looked around, and found that it was not locked, so he asked Li Manshui for advice, "Open it and have a look?"

Li Manshui hesitated a little: "It's better not to, in case there is something strange."

But Xu Jian didn't care about her answer at all, stood up, handed the wooden box to Li Manshui, and said, "You open it."

Li Slowwater: "??????"

Sister, you must be kidding me.

Xu Jian pointed to the hand wearing the silver bracelet and said, "Use this hand to open it."

The corner of Li Manshui's mouth twitched, but he still decided to trust Xu Jian.She stretched out her hand, touched the wooden box with great reluctance, and finally struggled to her death: "Do you really have to open it?"

Xu Jian looked at her and nodded.

With such thoughts in mind, Li Manshui opened the box, but just when the box was only opened a crack, a small blue-purple hand grabbed her wrist, right on the silver chain. superior.

"AH!!!!!!" Li Manshui screamed, overturned the box to the ground, and fell into the mud himself.

"I won't open it, I won't open it! Is it that thing!! That thing is really inside!!!" Li Manshui's voice became crying, crying hysterically.

Xu Jian trotted over to pick up the wooden box and opened it.

Inside was a bluish-purple fetal corpse. The skin was transparent, and the blood vessels and internal organs could be seen underneath.

Xu Jian closed the wooden box with a "click", and went to help Li Manshui who was still on the ground and lost his mind: "It's okay, the things in this box are no longer harmful."

Li Manshui stared at the box in her hand, obviously disbelieving: "It won't hurt anyone? Then what was it that caught me just now? Look!" She stretched out her hand, and the silver chain was blackened. Look carefully It can be found in the shape of a small palm print.

Xu Jian had no choice but to pull her up directly, and went to get the umbrella again.When Li Manshui fell down just now, she also threw away the umbrella, and now both of them are drowned.

"Let's go back first and change our clothes first, otherwise we'll catch a cold." Xu Jian put the box under his arm, grabbed Li Manshui with one hand, held an umbrella with the other, and returned the same way.

Finally, the two finally returned home. Xu Jian directly sent Li Manshui to take a shower and change clothes, while he studied the vermilion box carefully. Unfortunately, he looked at the box and the fetal body for a long time, but he didn’t have any clues. , I simply waited for Li Slowwater to come out and went to take a shower and change clothes.

When Xu Jian came out after washing, it was already dawn, she checked the time, it was five o'clock.

The two sat quietly on the sofa, and finally Li Manshui spoke first: "This bracelet, can I take it off?"

Xu Jian replied: "Well, take it off, that thing is useless, but if you want to wear it as an ornament, it's not impossible."

Li Manshui tore off the bracelet and cursed: "The devil wants this crap for decoration!"

Xu Jian said: "If you didn't have this bracelet just now, you would have grabbed your hand. It is rumored that silverware has a certain effect of warding off evil spirits, and it is indeed true."

Li Manshui grasped the point of this sentence at once: "Rumor? Are you using me as an experimental product?"

Xu Jian quickly changed the subject: "This thing should not be malicious, but no matter what it is, once it dies with resentment and turns into a ghost, it will inevitably have a little mental sleep or loss, and attack others regardless of good and evil. The silver chain just now is for you. In other words, it plays a protective role, but for it, it awakens the mind. For example, you are not awake when you have a nightmare, and it is difficult to distinguish between dreams and reality. If you want to kill someone in the dream, it may turn into wanting to Dance around and hit people, now I wake you up with a slap, won’t you stop beating people? Silverware can sometimes play such a role.”

Li Manshui asked: "Why do you insist on using me as an example? Have you been trying to beat me for a long time?"

Xu Jian: "..." Now I feel like fighting.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Li Manshui continued to ask: "Generally, the hospital will dispose of the fallen fetus. Being buried here means that it must not be shed normally. Does it want us to help it find the murderer? But just this one What can be found in a dead body?"

Xu Jian got up and walked to the balcony. Through the heavy rain, he looked at the bamboo forest: "Maybe, the box is not the key, but the place where the box is buried."
