Haunted Places Live

Early the next morning, Lin Qi and Chu Yang left the mansion, and the driver drove to Puxi.

The 8-cargo shopping mall is located on a bustling street, with huge tacky posters hanging on some dark and dull buildings, a long queue of traffic on the road ahead, and noisy horns everywhere.Sitting in the motionless car, Chu Yang saw the old and rustic commercial building from a distance compared with the modern office buildings around him. He saw people coming and going in front of the gate of the shopping mall. Will have something to do with haunting.

Lynch was still flipping through the information on 8huo on his mobile phone, "It was established in 1954, and the original site used to be a maternity hospital. It is said that sometimes guests will hear strange noises similar to babies crying in relatively quiet places, especially After the shopping mall closed at night, many patrolling security guards reported hearing the same sound. Moreover, their night shift security guards changed frequently, and most of them would resign after less than a year. Later, rumors of 8 ghosts spread like wildfire. .”

Babies... are obviously such pure existences, but they are always associated with the most primitive fears.

"So we have to find a way to stay until after closing? Are we too early?"

"Of course it's to step on the spot first. And I asked a former security guard who has resigned to meet us at a cafe near here." Lynch turned off his phone, pouted aggrievedly, an extremely contrived silly white sweet heroine Expression, "It took a lot of effort, a lot of money, and a lot of supercilious looks to invite him here! Please comfort and hug!"

Chu Yang opened the car window in a state of vomiting.

However, two seconds later, Lin Qi realized that Chu Yang was not pretending, because he was indeed retching.Lynch hurriedly asked the driver to find a place to stop on the side of the road, and pulled Chu Yang out of the car, looking at him as if he was about to vomit out his intestines.If it wasn't for not eating in the morning, I'm afraid that what I vomit now is not just gastric juice...

Lynch patted him on the back, with embarrassment and grievance on his face, "Hey... I pretend to be cute, is it so lethal... Why didn't I see you exaggerating when Bai Dian pretended to be cute..."

Chu Yang managed to catch his breath, straightened his waist, and while wiping the physical tears that overflowed from retching with the palm of his hand, he had to comfort the inexplicably jealous boss in time, "No... I don't know why I suddenly feel like vomiting... I never had motion sickness before."

"Maybe it's because of the stigmata that the body hasn't fully adapted to it." Lynch took out a handkerchief from the inside pocket of his coat like a trick, and handed it to Chu Yang, "Bai Dian also vomited when he first received the stigmata."

Chu Yang took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, only to find that the handkerchief even exuded a faint scent of cologne, and there was a flowery English letter "L" embroidered on one corner.He suddenly remembered that he had heard that British gentlemen always carried perfumed handkerchiefs with them, so that they could be lent to ladies when they shed tears for various reasons. Afterwards, most of the ladies would keep the handkerchiefs and return them later when they found a chance. From now on, you come and go, making a good story or a romantic affair...

As expected of a person who survived that era... But holding this handkerchief now makes me feel even more awkward...

"Eh... I'll wash it up and give it to you later?" Chu Yang said more and more awkwardly...

"Okay." Lynch smiled, "It's okay if you don't give it, just treat it as a token of love."

"...I will definitely wash and iron it and return it to you."

Since the former security guard was unwilling to enter 8huo anyway, they made an appointment to meet at Starbucks across a wide road from 8huo.That man was much younger than Chu Yang imagined, he probably just turned [-], a young and clean guy, he was a little embarrassed seeing them.Lin Qi saw that the other party hadn't even ordered a drink yet, so he ordered Chu Yang to buy him and the security guy a big cup of black tea latte with half sugar, and some roses had to be sprinkled on the milk foam. Chu Yang waited in line for a long time and hurried When he came back with three drinks in his arms, he saw that Lynch had already taken out his phone and was recording.

"I started working there as a security guard in March this year. I was not assigned to work the night shift at the beginning, but I also heard from many seniors that the mall was haunted." The security guard took the latte that Chu Yang handed him , smiled honestly, "Ah, thank you. I didn't believe it at first. I thought to myself that in what age such low-level rumors are still being spread. As a result, after about three months, after I started to assign night shifts, I no longer I dare not speak big words..."

The former security guard was named He Tian, ​​and he resigned after working in 8huo for half a year.

The shop closes at 09:30 every night and opens at [-]:[-] the next morning.At night, two security guards will be arranged to patrol the six floors in turn, but most of the time is spent sitting in the duty room listening to music, watching movies or online novels to pass the time.

One night about a month later, He Tian encountered a strange thing.That night he was on duty with Master Wang, who was ten years older than him. At that time, Master Wang was out on patrol. He was sitting alone in the security room, playing popular songs, and reading the novel on the starting point with relish.At this time, the intercom rang, and Master Wang said that he had finished patrolling the fifth floor, and now he would go to the sixth floor and come back.He Tian agreed, took out a bag of potato chips from the drawer, opened it, and continued to read the novel while eating.

Looking at it, I always feel that the song being played is a bit strange.Obviously he was the one who had listened to Mao Buyi's Dispelling Sorrow countless times. When did babies start to cry in the accompaniment?

wrong……

Shocked, He Tian sat up straight, turned down the volume of the mini stereo, and listened carefully.

But outside the security guard, among the shelves and counters that were dimly shadowed in the darkness, there was the chilling baby's cry floating indistinctly and faintly.It seemed to be coming from far away. It should have been extremely sharp and heart-piercing crying, but it was intermittent like a tape recorder that was about to run out of power.

How can a baby cry in a closed department store?

He immediately remembered all those rumors about the former maternity hospital site, and the hair on the back of his neck immediately stood on end.The dark blue silence and darkness that he was used to outside the window suddenly became dangerous and unpredictable.He was so stiff that he didn't even dare to get up to lock the door of the security room.It seemed that as long as he didn't move, the crying baby spirit wouldn't see him.

However, the next moment, the lights in the security room suddenly went out.He screamed in terror and fell off his chair, spilling potato chips all over the floor.However, the light flickered only for a moment, a bit like a bad light bulb, and soon stabilized again.He hurriedly got up from the ground, looked around, and found that the security room was still the same as before, and there was nothing unusual except for the potato chips scattered all over the floor by him.

Until his eyes fell on the glass of the security room.

In the lower right corner of the glass, there is a small, slowly disappearing... small handprint.

He Tian said that he didn't have any memory of how he opened the door and ran out. The only thing he remembered was that Master Wang grabbed him and pulled his soul back.Trembling, he immediately told Master Wang about the voice he heard and the fingerprints he saw just now. Who knew that Master Wang acted like he was used to it, and comforted him by saying that such things would happen occasionally, and he would just ignore them. will disappear.

Chu Yang and Lynch looked at each other the same way, and the manager Anna told them the same way at Tirosa Hotel.I don't know if it's a crooked attack or if this Master Wang knows something.

Lynch asked, "It's all like this, why don't you resign immediately?"

He Tian scratched his hair and said with a sad face, "It's not easy to find a job in Shanghai. I graduated from a vocational high school. I don't need anything. I have to send money to my family every month. This job is stable and the income is not bad. I I must be reluctant. And what Master Wang said is right. Ignoring those voices at the beginning is indeed effective. Generally, as long as you pretend that you don’t hear anything, the voice will disappear after about 1 minute. And it doesn’t happen frequently. It won't happen once, and when I add the first time in October, I've only heard it twice."

"Then what happened later that made you decide to resign?" Chu Yang asked.

He Tian's expression became visibly nervous, and he drank a few mouthfuls of black tea latte, "Later... then I saw... I saw them eat Master Wang..."

"Eat it?" Lynch suddenly became interested, "What did you eat Master Wang?"

"Babies..." He Tian's eyes were filled with deep fear, "Many, many babies..." They were piled up like a mountain, sticky blood-red babies whose flesh and organs seemed to be connected together, There was a terrible deafening cry, accompanied by the crisp sound and scream of Master Wang's bones being crushed.Every time he thinks about that horrible scene, he can't sleep all night.

Chu Yang frowned, and took out his mobile phone to search for news about the disappearance of security guards around October, but found nothing.

"You can't find it. Someone suppressed this matter, and the manager also gave me money to stop talking nonsense."

"Ah?" Lynch was surprised, "You didn't mention this before, is it okay for you to tell us now?"

"Anyway, I'm not working there anymore, what else can they do to me? The Chinese New Year is just over a month away, and I haven't even got enough money to buy the train ticket to go home."

Lynch thought for a while, and then deleted the recording on the phone, "Xiao He, you should not mention this matter to anyone other than the two of us. Is your manager still in 8huo now?"

"Are you still there? Her name is Sun Xiuyun."

After He Tian left, Lynch said softly, "Interesting, it's just an approximate multi-observation point, how could there be such a thing as someone missing? If that He Tian didn't lie to us, there must be something wrong with the manager of this mall."

Chu Yang was a little worried, "Listen, isn't this the stronghold that the elders will be responsible for guarding? So there is no internal response? We have to find a way to stay until after the door is closed. Do we need to find a place to hide?"

"Don't worry, most things in this world can be solved with money." Lynch blinked his right eye triumphantly at him, "I've already contacted the security guard who will be on duty at the mall tonight, we can hide in In the warehouse on the fifth floor, they will deliberately release water for us."

Chu Yang nodded, took a sip of coffee, and looked out the window.

After a glance, he suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong?" Lynch asked, looking out the window in confusion.People come and go, nothing special.

Chu Yang also showed confusion on his face. Just a moment ago, he seemed to see a figure in a gray coat in the gap between the crowd.But looking at it now, it's gone again.

Is it because he was too nervous these days and had hallucinations?
