The author's diary of ghost stories

The location of the carousel has changed.

This does not refer to the position of each wooden horse, but the entire machine. The positions of these wooden horses and turntables have changed.

Originally they were in the center of Sweetheart Square, but now as soon as Yu Liang entered the park, he saw them blocking the middle of the road, spanning such a distance out of thin air.

"Director, has this carousel always been in this position?" Yu Liang stopped the director and asked, pointing to the carousel on the side.

"Yes, what's wrong?" the principal asked in confusion, "Is it different from the location you saw before?"

"Well, they have always been in the center of the park." Yu Liang replied, "Including when we entered the park to play, these Trojan horses were always there."

"Is that so?" The director thought for a while, then finally shook his head and said, "Maybe you got it wrong. Let's check the power supply first."

He didn't seem to want to dwell too much on this issue, and just asked to check the power supply first.

Can't you say it?

Yu Liang made a judgment in his heart, and he could understand the director, because deepening cognition also meant an increase in mental pollution, but he had to figure these things out, so he needed to think of other methods.

"Is this the stuffed bear you are talking about?" the director asked, pointing to the big brown bear lying on the ground in the distance.

"Yeah." Yu Liang could recognize it just at a glance, but at this time, the teddy bear made no movement and just lay motionless on the ground.

The director walked up slowly, reached out and grabbed the stuffed bear, and patted the dust on it.

"Be careful, it may attack you." Xu Cixi reminded the director at the same time. She still remembered how ferocious the bear was just now, and she was still a little afraid to approach it at this time, so she only dared to hide her body behind Yu Liang.

"It's okay, they're gone." The director shook his head. He grabbed the stuffed bear, put it back to the cupboard in a nearby small house and ignored it. "The staff will clean up these running dolls tomorrow."

they?

In other words, are the stuffed bears and wooden horses just now actually the result of being possessed by some kind of ghost?

Yu Liang thought as he followed the director to the power supply box. From the moment they entered the park, the weird atmosphere in the park disappeared. There were no rustling sounds or secretly watching eyes.

They seemed to know the director's arrival and were deliberately avoiding him.

Was it ordered by "it"?

"Snapped."

The principal opened the power supply box, pressed it a few times in a familiar manner, and finally pulled the switch. The Tianxinfang campus suddenly lit up. The long-lost brightness made Yu Liang feel relieved.

"Sure enough, it's an old problem." The principal thought to himself. He looked back at Yu Liang and the two of them and smiled, "It may not be the same as you think, but it is enough for me to do these things. Maybe it's because I am the director of the garden, so they will give me face."

Yu Liang nodded. Although it was difficult to explain, he could understand it.

After all, the principal was the first person to come into contact with the original ghost story. To a certain extent, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the protagonist of this ghost story incident, so it was normal for him to enjoy some privileges.

Judging from the contact so far, the director does not seem to be a bad person. He is also trying his best to maintain his zoo, just like an experienced captain steering a rusty ship, trying his best to make it more prosperous. Travel some distance.

"What exactly are they? They should be different, right?" Yu Liang said in a confusing way, but he felt that the director should understand.

"Sorry, it's not convenient to talk to you about these things. It's better to go back to bed early. You will be much better when you wake up." An apology appeared on the principal's face, but in the end he kept it secret and refused to say more.

Yu Liang shook his head and said: "Director, it has already set its sights on me. My diary, my shadow, and my life are all traces of its existence. I don't know why it would do this to a little security guard like me." Shangxin, but it is true. I can understand your approach, but I still want to know the truth, or be close to the truth, even if it disappears completely, it doesn’t matter.”

The director was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice had changed a lot: "Is the truth more important than living?"

"Yes." Yu Liang nodded firmly without hesitation.

As if sensing that Yu Liang was different from the other employees who had asked for the truth before, the director hesitated for a moment and finally relented: "Let's go to my office and talk about it."

His eyes fell on Xu Cixi, who was silent and cold-faced.

"I want to know too, I won't regret it." Xu Cixi understood the meaning of this look and immediately promised.

"Well, since you are coming to this place to explore the secrets, your determination is obvious." The director no longer bothered with the rules he had set, and instead led the way, "Let's go, it's not convenient to talk about this here."

Yu Liang looked back at Xu Cixi, gave her a reassuring look, and then followed the principal.

The Employee Center and Sweetheart Square are not in the animal viewing area, so they are not far apart. After about fifteen minutes' journey, Yu Liang and the two arrived at the entrance of the Employee Center.

Similar to the employee center I saw before, the entire employee center is actually another campus. Scattered small buildings form the main body here, and the tallest building in the center only has five floors. The top floor is the director's office.

The buildings here do not have the infantile features that are common in zoos. These building boards and slats reveal a capable working spirit.

It was almost two o'clock in the morning, so there was no employee in the employee center, only some incandescent lights that were always on were on.

It was a bit depressingly quiet.

After going round and round, I ended up here.

Yu Liang sighed in his heart, and he followed the director through these buildings. A "Work Center" sign hung in front of the central building, and a full-length mirror was placed at the door.

When passing the mirror, Yu Liang glanced inside. The director in front of him had no animal characteristics, nor did he himself. Standing behind him was a plump and large hamster.

"This is..." Xu Cixi looked at the hamster in the mirror and was stunned for a moment. At the same time, the hamster in the mirror also had a dull look in its eyes, and it actually looked a bit cute.

"It's okay, don't worry." Yu Liang comforted her. He had already expected this, but it was not serious enough to prevent him from having fun, because he also mentioned in his diary that there were many tourists taking photos. When you look in the mirror, it will show the appearance of an animal.

"Hamster? How could it be a hamster?" The principal also noticed Xu Cixi in the mirror. He was surprised and looked at Xu Cixi with doubts in his eyes.

"Why, is there anything special about hamsters?" Yu Liang asked.

"It can be understood to a certain extent. Hamsters are indeed special." The director said, "Do you know why visitors and employees are not allowed to bring any pets into the park according to the rules?"

Yu Liang hesitated for a moment. He had also guessed this before, "Is it because it can only transform into animals that he has seen?"

"Yes, it can only turn people into animals they have seen." The director nodded in agreement, then frowned, "So what makes me wonder is, when did you see the hamster?"

"Maybe someone brought her in secretly. Is there any way to change her back?" Yu Liang didn't care who brought the hamster. What he cared about was how to relieve Xu Cixi from this state.

Although I know there is no danger for the time being, it is not a good thing to let her go on like this.

"As long as you leave this zoo, you will be able to recover slowly as long as you stay away from its shadow." The director said, his tone irrefutable, "So for your sake, please apply for resignation tomorrow. Don't worry, I will notify the personnel department. I’ll compensate you with three months’ salary.”

"Sorry, I can't leave here." Xu Cixi shook her head, "There is another curse on me. If I leave the zoo, I will die, so I have been staying at the zoo since I joined the company and have never gone out. "

"Huh?" The principal's eyebrows were mixed with lingering worries. He had never encountered this situation before. He explained to the two of them, "Generally, employees are affected by it in two ways. One is the relatively Slow, just like this, one is encountering some strange things and mutating in a very short time. Once you completely turn into an animal, there is no room for turning back, so the second one has no solution, and the first one Mutations are okay, as long as you leave the zoo.”

"Is there no other way besides this?" Yu Liang asked next. He glanced at Xu Cixi, who lowered his head with a somewhat lonely look in his eyes.

"Yes, it will label each animal with a personality." The director continued, "For example, mice are timid, snakes are greedy, etc. As long as they can show the opposite personality, they can restrain the mutation."

He looked at Xu Cixi and shook his head regretfully: "I can give advice on other animals, but hamsters... I'm sorry, I haven't seen a hamster yet, and I don't know what a hamster is in its definition. character."

Yu Liang fell into deep thought, and a brief silence enveloped the three of them, and they followed the director into the elevator and climbed to the fifth floor.

"Ding--"

When the elevator door opened, it was pitch black. There were no lights in the corridor on the fifth floor. When the elevator door closed, it returned to darkness again.

"Grab my clothes and follow me closely." The director stretched out his hand in front of Yu Liang and asked Yu Liang to grab his sleeve. He continued, it will follow the shadow, so this corridor is in some way To the extent that it can prevent it from following. "

"Yes." Yu Liang also imitated the principal's approach and stretched out his hand, but Xu Cixi in the darkness did not hold the sleeve, but touched Yu Liang's hand.

Yu Liang could feel Xu Cixi's hand retracting. She didn't seem to mean it, but after instinctively retracting, she moved forward tentatively and generously grabbed a few of Yu Liang's fingers.

"Huh?" Yu Liang asked in confusion, but Xu Cixi behind him did not respond verbally. He just tapped Yu Liang's palm with his finger.

Well.

Yu Liang frowned slightly, thinking about what Xu Cixi was thinking.

Soon, the director fumbled for the door handle. As he opened the office door, he turned back and said, "Come in, I will tell you everything I know."

The moment he opened the door, Yu Liang and Xu Cixi's hands naturally parted.

"You guys sit down first, I'll make some cups of tea." The principal walked towards the inner room of the office, and a faint sigh came from inside, "You must be alert at all times, that guy will take advantage of the opportunity and sneak in."

Yu Liang and the other two did not respond. They looked at this huge office.

Although it is large, it is not luxuriously decorated, and it is extremely simple with a little weirdness added.

There are no fish in the fish tank, no flowers in the flower pots, and there is only a row of books without titles in the bookcase. It can be seen that they are just decorative books. More space on the bookshelf is used to display different dolls, such as common little tigers, There are kittens, puppies, and turtles.

"There are no bears." Xu Cixi murmured in a low voice.

"What?" Yu Liang didn't hear clearly and turned to look at Xu Cixi.

Xu Cixi looked at her watch again, wrote down the time, and said with some uncertainty: "It only took about ten minutes from leaving the photo booth to leaving the Tianxinfang campus."

But it takes about twenty minutes to get from Tianxinfang to the director's office.

"What... wait, what do you mean?" Yu Haohao seemed to have grasped some key point, his heart was horrified, and his expression rarely changed, "The director set out here before the power outage in Tianxinfang!"

It’s hard to come up with a book title… I only have one chance to revise it after signing the contract, and I’m a bit afraid to change it QAQ
