I don't believe in ghosts today

The little sun radiates a warm orange glow.Wrapped in a thick down jacket, Zheng Cheng curled up on the chair and looked at Zou Hao with some expectation: "Brother Hao, tell me a ghost story."

Zou Hao took a sideways look at Zheng Cheng with a spicy stick in his mouth. "You can talk, but if you can't sleep at night, don't blame me."

"No, no." Zheng Cheng shook his head quickly. "Brother Hao, tell me quickly."

Zou Hao fell into short memories.During the sweltering and long summer nights when he was a child, his grandmother would always take him to sit in the shade in the small yard of his house, and tell him the scary stories passed down by the villagers. "In the village where my grandmother lived, a woman surnamed Bai died many years ago. The Bai family is the wealthiest family in the village, with dozens of acres of fertile land. They were reluctant to let their only daughter marry far away, so they found A married son-in-law. Although this uncle came from a poor background, he has read a lot of books and is handsome. He fell in love with Miss Bai, gave birth to a daughter, and lived a very happy life."

Zheng Cheng listened intently, not daring to blink.

"A few years later, Miss Bai's parents passed away one after another, and all the family property was inherited by Miss Bai and my uncle. From that day on, my uncle suddenly seemed to be a different person, beating and scolding Miss Bai every day. Soon after, my uncle married again. The new concubine bullied Miss Bai and her daughter every day. Divorce was not in the mood at that time, so Miss Bai couldn't bear it anymore and jumped into the well with her daughter. The servants in the family got up in the morning , saw the blood book she left on the edge of the well, but they couldn't find the bodies of their mother and daughter no matter what."

Speaking of this, Zou Hao deliberately lowered his voice: "Since then, the Bai family has been haunted from time to time. The servants always saw Miss Bai sitting by the well, holding a comb, combing her daughter's hair. It didn't take long. Then, a fire broke out in Bai's house, and the house and crops were completely burned. One of the two concubines was burned to death, and the other ran away with jewelry. The uncle also returned to his hometown in despair, and became a poor boy again. However, People still see Miss Bai sitting by the well from time to time, combing her daughters' hair. Their hair is wet and wrapped in water plants."

"Once, an outsider passed by the village. It was very late and he lost his way. He happened to see a woman sitting by the well, combing her daughter's hair. The outsider went up to ask for directions. The woman turned around, and the two A man with black eye sockets and no eyeballs said to him: My eyes are still in the well, you help me pick them up, and I will show you the way—”

Zou Hao suddenly opened his hands and rushed towards Zheng Cheng.Zheng Cheng yelled "Wow", and almost fell off the chair.Seeing Zheng Cheng's reaction, Zou Hao laughed while clutching his stomach. "You believe that too."

"Ah, is it fake?" Zheng Cheng had a cheated expression on his face. "Didn't you say that your grandmother told you the story?"

"My grandma is right, but this story is just made up to scare children." Zou Hao said. "If the first half of the story is true, Miss Bai probably didn't jump into the well at all. She left a blood book by the well and ran away with the child, so she couldn't find the body. Later, she felt that she couldn't let the dog and man enjoy the benefits, so she came back and let the child go. I lit a fire and burned the Bai family down. As for combing your hair and asking for directions, it was all made up to scare people."

"You can't say that. There are gods up three feet. There are so many things in this world that can't be explained. We still have to be in awe."

Just as Zheng Cheng finished speaking, a girl's conversation suddenly came from the hall, and the content could not be heard clearly. There were at least five or six people listening to the voice.

Zou Hao looked up at the clock on the wall, it was almost three o'clock in the morning. "Why is there still someone so late? I'll go and see." Saying this, Zou Hao got up from his chair and was about to leave the security room.

"Brother Hao, wait a minute!" Zheng Cheng tightly grabbed Zou Hao's sleeve, not letting him go. "Look at the surveillance."

Zou Hao followed Zheng Cheng's fingers to look at the TV wall. The first screen in the lower left corner was the real-time image of the lobby on the first floor.In the camera, the entire hall is empty, without a single figure.

"Didn't we check it a long time ago? The building is already empty. It's three o'clock in the morning, there's no way there's anyone there..." Zheng Cheng said so much that he was scared. "Brother Hao, is it haunted..."

"I've grown up so much, I haven't seen a ghost with my own eyes. I'm going to see if I have the honor today." Zou Hao walked out as he spoke, and Zheng Cheng chased him out in a panic. "Why, aren't you afraid?" Zou Hao asked.

Zheng Cheng grabbed his sleeve and timidly followed behind him. "I'm more scared in there alone."

The conversation continued, talking and laughing.The two followed the voice to the elevator entrance, and the voice became clearer and clearer. It seemed that it was not only young girls, but also old people and children.Laughter echoed in the dark hall, very strange.

But there was still no one in sight.

"Brother Hao," Zheng Cheng hid behind Zou Hao, pointing to the elevator with trembling fingers, "The voice came from inside the elevator."

Zou Hao glanced at the electronic screen next to him. The elevator was indeed on the first floor. "It's so late, how could someone be in the elevator..." Zou Hao muttered, reaching out and pressing the elevator.

The moment the elevator door opened, the chatter and laughter stopped abruptly.There was no one in the elevator at all.

Zheng Cheng clasped his hands together with a "snap", and began to pray desperately: "Namo Amitabha, Namo Amitabha... We really didn't mean to disturb, old gods, please let us go..."

This is really strange.Zou Hao walked into the elevator, looked carefully up, down, left, and right, but didn't see any problem. "Let's go, let's go back." Zou Hao stepped out of the elevator and decided to close the case. "The wind must have blown into the elevator shaft."

Trembling, Zheng Cheng followed him back, and read all the way: "Namo Amitabha, Namo Amitabha, you really can't tell ghost stories in the middle of the night..."

The two returned to the security room and sat down firmly in front of the little sun. It sounded like a woman joking and the wind rang again.Zheng Cheng moved the chair to be next to Zou Hao, and leaned on Zou Hao like a puppy for the rest of the night.

Zou Hao played with his mobile phone while eating spicy strips, and occasionally patted Zheng Cheng's dog's head to comfort him. "It's really nothing, it's just the wind."

At eight o'clock, the sky was getting brighter, and the strange noise that lasted all night finally stopped.Zheng Cheng actually fell asleep leaning against him, snoring softly.

Zou Hao decided that when he saw the maintenance brother tomorrow during the day shift, he must tell him about the noise of the elevator, but nothing would happen.

After finishing the last set of icons, Gu Yang rubbed his dry eyes, then turned to ask Peng Lili who was a few tables away. "Lily, I'm done. Can you go?"

The APP revision work has entered the most intense sprint stage. In 1801 alone, more than a dozen people stayed to work overtime, and the lights were brightly lit. "I'll be fine soon. Sister Yang, wait for me." Peng Lili manipulated the mouse and keyboard skillfully, and didn't stop even during the few seconds she was talking.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll wait for you." Gu Yang turned on his phone and browsed the shopping website.Just after placing two orders, Peng Lili let out a long sigh of relief. "Okay, let's go."

The two walked out of the office arm in arm, Peng Lili looked tired. "Hey, after a busy day, I have to wash clothes and dry the sheets when I go home. I feel so tired just thinking about it."

"So, I've been urging you to get married early," Gu Yang said with a smile, "My husband does housework at home."

Peng Lili covered her ears. "I don't eat dog food! I want to get married, but the person I like doesn't like me..."

Gu Yang burst out laughing. "What you're talking about is the one in our company. I'd better advise you to give up early. You should find someone who really likes you and knows how to take care of you."

"I don't want it, I can take care of myself!" Peng Lili showed a bit of girlish shyness on her face. "I just like him."

Gu Yang shook his head. "I can't persuade you, I can only wait for you to wake up."

Just as they were talking, the elevator arrived, and the two of them walked in side by side, but the elevator issued a "beep" sound to remind them that they were overweight.

"No way," Gu Yang laughed loudly, "I've gained a bit of weight recently, so it's not like I have 1000 kilograms."

"What a broken elevator, the real estate of this building is really a bunch of useless people." Peng Lili cursed casually.She reached out to press the button on the first floor, and the elevator sounded the overweight reminder again.

"Let's go to the other one." With that said, Peng Lili stepped out of the elevator.

Gu Yang had just placed the order, and the merchant sent an address confirmation. She just looked down at her phone and didn't follow out in time.The elevator door began to close slowly, Gu Yang raised his head, and there was only a small gap in front of him.

"You go down first," Peng Lili waved at her through the gap, "I'll wait for the next trip."

The elevator doors closed completely and began to descend.Gu Yang lowered his head and continued to reply to the message. Suddenly, the elevator stopped suddenly, and the lights went out instantly, turning into a pitch-black closed space.

"What's going on..." Gu Yang patted the elevator door twice, but without any response, he raised his hand and pressed the alarm button.The surroundings seemed to be getting colder and colder, Gu Yang rubbed his hands and stomped his feet twice.

"Her hair smells so good." A clear voice suddenly sounded in her ears, it seemed to be a middle-aged woman.

"Ah!" Gu Yang screamed, turned around quickly, and took photos behind him with his mobile phone.Of course, there was no second person in the elevator, and the silver walls coldly reflected the glare from the phone screen.

A hand slowly touched her calf, Gu Yang jumped away screaming, goose bumps all over his body instantly, his scalp and back went numb for a while.

"This pair of socks is really nice," said an old woman's voice at his feet, "Are these pure cotton?"

Gu Yang kept turning around, using his mobile phone to illuminate his surroundings, but there was no one there.Gu Yang screamed loudly, but those hands and voices did not let her go.A cold hand stroked and pulled her body.

"Her earrings are so pretty, are they emeralds?"

"Her shoes are made of lambskin, so they look expensive."

"Look, there is a little baby in her stomach."

The woman's voice kept ringing behind Gu Yang.No matter which way she turns, they appear exactly behind her.

"Ah!" Gu Yang dropped his phone, squatted in the corner of the elevator, put his hands on his head, and let out a broken cry.
