Strange Story of Strange House

Rewind the time to three hours ago——

After hanging up Chen Ling's phone call, Xiao Ming hurriedly processed the work in hand. After finishing, he closed the computer, put on a coat, and prepared to go out.The roommate who was playing the game glanced at him: "Where are you going?"

"Go find someone in the art building." Xiao Ming replied casually.

"How long will you be back?" the roommate asked again.

"Go and go back."

"Then bring me something to eat when you come back." The roommate said while clacking the keyboard.Xiao Ming responded, confirmed that he had brought the meal card and went out.

The moment the door closed, the roommate who was addicted to the game suddenly looked up at him.At this time, neither of them knew that this was actually the last time they saw each other.

After leaving the dormitory, Xiao Ming went straight to the art building.

There are several studios in the art building, Xiao Ming searched one by one, but he didn't see Anyang.He frowned, and after searching all the studios, he stopped at the door of the last studio and stopped a girl who was about to go out.

"Student, excuse me, do you know where Anyang is?"

"Anyang?" The girl was stunned for a moment, "I haven't seen her today, you should call her."

Xiao Ming put on his signature smile: "It's a classmate like this. I was in a hurry to find Anyang, so I called her. Her roommate told me that she came to the studio without a mobile phone, so I came here to see if she was there." .”

"Oh, Anyang's studio is not with us. She is... you go forward, turn a corner until you reach the end, and you will see her studio, which is the utility room at the end of the corridor. Because she is the only one It is used by people, so there are some sundries piled up, it doesn’t look like a studio.”

"Okay, thank you, classmate." Xiao Ming followed the route the girl told him just now and looked for it. Sure enough, at the end of the corridor, he saw a utility room. "Anyang".

That's it!

The door was ajar, Xiao Ming gently opened it and took a look, but there was no one in the room.He subconsciously wanted to exit. This studio gave him a very dull and depressing feeling for no reason, but thinking of what Chen Ling said, he still settled down and walked in.

What is so unusual about Anyang?

Anyang's studio has a strong sense of randomness, with unused tables and chairs piled up in the corner, easels randomly placed in the room, drafts of finished paintings scattered on the table and the floor, and a few paint tubes thrown around the drawing paper and brushes.The most eye-catching thing in the studio is the huge painting covered with a white cloth in the middle of the studio. Looking at the painting tools scattered around, Xiao Ming thought, this is probably the work Anyang was creating during this period, right?

Some people have a strong sense of presence and are always able to attract people's attention in the first place, but this covered painting actually gave Xiao Ming such a feeling. He suddenly felt a little funny—a painting with a sense of presence?

He avoided the debris and drawing paper on the ground and walked towards the painting.He noticed that around the painting, there were only paint tubes of red, black and white. The white cloth was stained with a large amount of red paint, which looked a little shocking.The surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that he could hear the sound of his heart beating clearly, one after another, heavy and violent, echoing his footsteps.

He lightly lifted a corner of the white cloth, and the sight was pitch black. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and a thin layer of sweat leaked from his hands.And just when he was about to completely uncover the white cloth, he was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door—it was the girl he met outside the door before.

"When I went downstairs, I met a classmate in Anyang's class. She said that Anyang had gone out. She probably went to eat at this point. You can go to the cafeteria to look for it."

Xiao Ming put down the white cloth that hadn't been uncovered yet, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't have time to think about it.After thanking the kind girl, Xiao Ming decided to go to the cafeteria to look for it first, and buy a meal for his roommate by the way.

two hours ago -

Xiao Ming went around several cafeterias of S University and met countless acquaintances, but he didn't see Anyang.

In the end, he randomly chose a cafeteria to start eating, and packed a copy for his roommate after eating.

Xiao Ming wandered downstairs to the dormitory with his meal in hand, just happened to meet a buddy in the dormitory next door, after entrusting his roommate's dinner to him, Xiao Ming looked at the time, nearly an hour had passed, why should Anyang go back to the studio?

Thinking of this, he took a step and walked towards the studio again.

an hour ago -

Xiao Ming returned to Anyang's studio with ease, but there was still no sign of Anyang inside.Xiao Ming dragged the stool and sat down, thinking: I have to wait until Anyang today!

Once he sat down, Xiao Ming took out his mobile phone and started to pass the time, but for some reason today, he kept losing in the game, and he lost interest after playing for a long time.Bored and bored, Xiao Ming began to look at Anyang's studio—the furnishings in the room were still casual and patchwork. He picked up Anyang's paintings scattered on the ground. Her paintings were very spiritual, but Xiao Ming, a layman, couldn't see them. Knowing the way, I just feel that it looks very comfortable.

After reading all the paintings on the ground, Xiao Ming focused on the one covered by the white cloth—what kind of painting did Anyang spend so much energy on painting?Just take a look, it doesn't matter, right?

Suddenly, Xiao Ming approached the painting that made him feel weird again, and gently lifted the white cloth on the painting...

Unlike the ones scattered on the ground, it was a painting with a black tone, which did not give people a comfortable feeling, but a heavy sense of depression.The background is a large area of ​​black, and the painting is a place similar to a lecture hall. The empty auditorium, white tables and chairs, white stage, and white dolls hanging in the center of the stage are painted in white. In the painting The red is used sparingly, only depicting the pool of blood at the puppet's feet.

A strange idea suddenly flashed in Xiao Ming's mind - so little red is used, why is there so much red paint on the white cloth?

Xiao Ming suddenly felt a trace of fear. He raised his head and stared at the painting in front of him, as well as the exquisite and lifelike doll in the painting, as if—the doll would come alive in the next second!He was taken aback by this thought, and was about to laugh at himself for being too brainy, but suddenly realized that he was no longer in Anyang's studio.

--This is where?

At this time, he was standing in the auditorium. He looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on the stage. On the exquisite and gorgeous white stage, there were exquisite dolls in the painting hanging impressively.He suddenly remembered the nightmare that Chen Ling was talking about - will the puppet really come back to life?

As if the nightmare had come true, he soon heard the cries of the puppet, the shrill female voice kept shouting "Help", accompanied by the puppet's violent struggle, as if it was about to be strangled to death!He froze in place for a moment.

Until the sound of "boom", the puppet struggled and fell to the ground, walking towards him with "clack-clack" steps.

— run away! !

Xiao Ming, who was awakened by the sound, ran out suddenly. There was a dark corridor outside the door, and he rushed out without hesitation.The corridor was very long, as if it had no end at all. He ran and ran and ran, but the sound of "click" footsteps followed him all the time.

The hard work paid off, and after running for a long time, he finally saw the light, and the exit of the white light was dazzlingly bright, but he rushed out without hesitation...

******

In the studio, An Yang casually picked up Xiao Ming's dropped cell phone. The cell phone vibrated in her hand, and the word "Chen Ling" danced on the screen.Holding her mobile phone, she leisurely went downstairs.

When she left the art building, she heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, followed by various shouts and screams——Xiao Ming fell from the building.

At this time, she saw a panting boy appearing in front of the building, staring blankly at the direction of the accident. The panicked crowd passed by him and bumped into him from time to time.

Suddenly wanting to see his shocked expression, she connected the phone with a smile on her face: "I'm Liu Tianjin, who are you looking for?"

In the next second, she managed to see the boy's face, which became extremely pale.

******

After the meal time, the number of customers in the noodle restaurant gradually decreased. Danqing saw that she could handle the continuous customers by herself, so she sent Lin Chi, who had been busy all afternoon, to rest.The latter did not shirk, dragged a small bench and went straight to the backyard to accompany the building to pray for the sunset.

Lou Qi sat quietly in the heart of the courtyard, his silhouette was carefully outlined by the setting sun, and coated with soft gold edges, especially the slender eyelashes, which were dyed golden by the sun, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.This made the little flower beside him willingly do nothing, just quietly watching his side face.

After watching the evening children's program, Rainbow Dash kicked her bear slippers and ran down from the second floor.He first ran over and gave Lin Chi a kiss, then kicked off his slippers and climbed onto Lou Qi's recliner, burying himself in his father's arms.

For a child, the father is the greatest existence in childhood, carrying all his expectations and visions.The same goes for Yun Bao, although he lived with Lin Chi from the beginning, but this father is more like a "mother" in essence, and cannot satisfy the child's longing.

Lou Qi patted his son's little butt with his hand, helped him adjust a comfortable posture, and let him thrash about in his arms. With a few strokes, Lou Qi's neat and well-fitting shirt was messed up, revealing a small piece of skin around his waist ... This is a bargain for Lin Chi, who is nympho by the side.

Lin Chi stared straight at the parent-child interaction in front of him, envious of Rainbow Dash—ah!very nice!I want to touch it too!I really want to be buried in his arms like Rainbow Dash...

Suddenly, Lou Qi hugged Yun Bao and sat up suddenly, frowning and looking in the direction of University S.

Lin Chi, who was immersed in his own fantasies, was awakened suddenly, took the Rainbow Treasure that Lou Qi handed over, and Lin Chi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know yet, don't go out tonight." Lou Qi instructed and left in a hurry.

Shortly after he left, an ambulance roared into the school, followed by a police car.Lin Chi was very curious about what happened, but remembering Lou Qi's instructions, he had no choice but to hold back his desire to find out.

When night fell, Shen Jinghan came to visit unexpectedly.Although Lou Qi set up an enchantment in the noodle restaurant, he set it carelessly. The enchantment can only prevent some low-level ghosts from disturbing. For someone as strong and harmless as Shen Jinghan, he naturally entered the noodle restaurant with ease.

Different from the younger brother and Danqing who are facing enemies, when seeing Shen Jinghan, what Lin Chi struggles most is how to face this man - Shen Jinghan is his "father" who has been with him for six years, and the person Huaiyin hates the most .

"...Mr. Shen, what's the matter?" Lin Chi struggled for a long time, but still greeted the man.

"It hurts. Xiao Chi used to call me Dad before."

"..." Lin Chi didn't know whether he should call this father in a compromise, so he simply chose to remain silent.Fortunately, Shen Jinghan didn't care, he handed the food box in his hand to Lin Chi: "I remember you like the cakes here very much."

Lin Chi hesitated for a moment and didn't pick it up.

Shen Jinghan sighed softly: "Hey, look at me, my wife didn't chase me back, and my son ignored me." Lin Chi couldn't see the man showing a lonely expression, so he quickly took the things.

In the Nightmare Realm before, Shen Jinghan liked to feed him all kinds of delicious food. Thinking of this, Lin Chi felt a little complicated.

Seeing him take the things over, Shen Jinghan frowned, pulled up a stool and sat down: "Son, Dad, please change your school for you, look at how resentful your school has been recently. I chased your father around all day long , and can't care about you."

Lin Chi shook his head and rejected Shen Jinghan's proposal.Fortunately, Shen Jinghan had always had a good temper with his wife and children. Seeing that Lin Chi didn't want to transfer to another school, he hung a jade pendant around Lin Chi's neck, just in case he did some tricks to prevent Lin Chi from taking it off.

"Since you don't want to change schools, then wear this jade pendant properly. Dad, I chose it carefully, so it's safe!" Although Lin Chi refused to call, Shen Jinghan was very cunning. If you refused to call, then I would call He claimed to have taken advantage of Lin Chi's words.

It didn't take long for Shen Jinghan to leave. He has been busy chasing Huaiyin recently. If it weren't for the resentment from S University, he was afraid that Lin Chi would get hurt, so he wouldn't have time to come here.

Mr. Shen, who hurried to Huaiyin's side, thought to himself: The jade pendant is not safe, and if something happens to him, his daughter-in-law must not cry red-eyed!It's better to ask Secretary Hu to send someone to protect Xiao Chi, the man chasing his wife really can't afford to be hurt!

After Shen Jinghan left, the noodle restaurant returned to calm.But until the shop closed, Lou Qi didn't come back, Lin Chi waited in the room, and then fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Lin Chi learned the reason for yesterday's commotion at school from the students who had breakfast.

"Do you know, the person who jumped from the art building yesterday was Senior Xiao Ming from the radio station!" A girl lowered her voice, gossiping with her partner beside her.

"Hey! How come?! Senior Xiao Ming doesn't look like he would commit suicide!" The girl who listened to the gossip looked surprised. Xiao Ming was active in radio stations and various school activities. Many people couldn't believe it when they heard that he jumped off the building.

"Yeah! But everyone suspects that senior Xiao Ming fell down by mistake. He brought food for his roommate before, and went to the art building because senior Chen Ling asked him to find senior sister Anyang. How could such a person commit suicide by jumping off the building! "

"Senior Chu must be feeling bad!"

The girl in charge of gossip pursed her mouth: "Senior Chu has been greatly stimulated, and she has been blaming herself all the time, and said that Senior Sister Anyang killed the senior."

"Hey!! Really?"

"But the school checked the surveillance video of the art building. Senior Xiao Ming and senior sister Anyang have never met each other. After senior Xiao Ming left senior sister Anyang's studio, he went up to the top floor, and suddenly jumped out of nowhere. Go down. Senior Anyang only returned to the studio after he left. So there is no such thing as Senior Anyang harming Senior Xiao Ming!"

"What did senior sister Anyang say?"

"She said that she could understand that senior Chen Ling lost a good friend, and it was difficult to accept it for a while. She didn't care about what senior Chen Ling said."

"Sister Anyang is really kind."

"No, but," the girl lowered her voice again, "I heard from the teacher who watched the monitoring that senior Xiao Ming jumped off the building like he was possessed by a demon."

--Bewitched?

Lin Chi raised his eyebrows. Judging by Lou Qi's dedication to this matter, probably this Senior Xiao really died at the hands of ghosts, right?

******

I thought this matter would end soon, but who knows that from that day on, Lou Qi started to go out early and return late. At first, Lin Chi expressed his understanding. Lou Qi had his own business to attend to, so it was fine...but it didn’t happen for four days in a row. After seeing no one in the middle of the night, Lin Chi couldn't sit still!

Lou Qi has been a little unusual these few days. Not only does he leave early and return late every day, the most important thing is that when he returns, he won't touch Lin Chi's head anymore!

Ye Bai's matter was so difficult back then, didn't Lou Qi solve it in just one night!Why did it take so long this time!

He waits for Lou Qi to come back at the door every day, isn't it just so that he can touch his head!

Lin Chi was a little unhappy, but he comforted himself that maybe the matter was very difficult.

He waited patiently for another two days, but this time, Lou Qi not only left early and returned late, but even when he was in the noodle shop, he mostly stayed alone in the study on the second floor without seeing anyone.

——I used to be able to read books by my side, but now I can’t? !Going out early and returning late these days is actually being entangled by some goblin somewhere!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, Lin Chi sat up from the bed: I have secretly liked Lou Mei for so long, and I haven't even held her little hand, how can I make it easier for other goblins.

Lin Chi made up his mind to quietly follow Lou Qi tomorrow to see what he was doing!

Afterwards, he pulled Rainbow Dash into his arms and fell asleep angrily.

On this day, Lou Qi returned late again, Lin Chi fell asleep for a long time before he came back.Stepping lightly into Lin Chi's room, he smiled helplessly when he saw the little thing falling asleep hugging his son puffed up.

— Did you have another bad dream?It can be like this in a dream.

He reached out to touch Lin Chi's soft hair, but stopped before touching Lin Chi. The Wraith of University S has already killed two innocent people this time. According to the law of the earth, he must get rid of it.But this vengeful spirit is too cunning and good at hiding, so he doesn't appear by himself, but controls the wandering spirits in the campus to interfere with him.

The wandering spirit didn't pose any threat to him, but after all, his hands were stained, and he didn't want to touch Lin Chi with his ghostly hand... It seemed that this ghost couldn't stay anymore.
