◎Strange ghosts + heartwarming moments + a game of courage◎
Duoduo was so frightened that she lost her voice for a moment, and quickly moved to the side a little so that she could not see the long-legged aunt on her mother's neck.
She seemed a little nervous, so she took another peek. The long-legged aunt didn't look at her anymore. She seemed to be reading a magazine with her mother.
At this time, Duoduo came to the camera again. She did not talk about what happened just now, but started talking about what the long-legged aunt did.
"When Mommy was combing her hair, she would lie on Mommy's shoulder, her face pressed against Mommy's. Her face was so white, and her eyes were two black holes. When Mommy looked in the mirror, I could see her reflection, but Mommy couldn't see herself!"
As Duoduo spoke, she couldn't help but shiver again.
[Fuck, I’m most afraid of this]
[Little sister let her sister go, don't be so specific]
Duoduo swallowed, her face tense. "It wasn't like this at the beginning. The long-legged auntie was sitting on Auntie Lin's neck."
"Auntie Lin?" Jiang Chuxu asked.
"Yes! It's my mother's good friend, Aunt Lin!" Duoduo nodded vigorously.
"Auntie Lin used to come to my house all the time and bring me candy, but she stopped coming later. Mom said she was seriously ill."
Duoduo's voice lowered, filled with confusion and fear: "One time, my mother went to see Aunt Lin, and I secretly followed her. Through the small window on the ward door, I saw Aunt Lin.
She, she became very strange, she kept laughing, laughing, and she kept scratching her neck with her hands, scratching so hard that it was bleeding!
Lin Jinlan didn't actually scare Duoduo that day. On the contrary, she had given Duoduo a big scare one day before that.
It was daytime, and Duoduo was playing chase with her friends in the community when she suddenly heard a noise coming from the children's playground not far away.
A few kids who loved to join in the fun immediately ran over to the sound, and Duoduo followed curiously.
The crowd formed a small circle and pointed and talked, with Aunt Lin Jinlan at the center of the circle.
Aunt Lin looks so strange.
Duoduo remembered it very clearly. It was April, the weather had become warmer, and everyone was wearing light clothes.
But Aunt Lin was wrapped in a thick red down jacket with the zipper zipped up to her chin, and a faded scarf was wrapped around her neck.
Her hair was disheveled and her face was covered in dust, but the most eye-catching thing was her feet. She was not wearing shoes or socks, and her feet were just stepping on the cold and rough concrete floor.
Aunt Lin was like a frightened trapped animal, pacing around in the small circle formed by the crowd, her eyes empty and panicked, and she was making meaningless hoarse sounds from her throat.
Sometimes she would use her body, which was covered by a heavy down jacket, to bump into the onlookers nearby. Her strength was so great that she could push away those who were blocking her way.
Sometimes she stopped and scratched her neck with her hands. She even opened the collar of her down jacket, revealing the red skin underneath.
"Get out of here, all of you! Get down, get down right here!" Aunt Lin suddenly roared at the sky, her voice hoarse and cracked, filled with extreme pain and anger.
Just as she turned around again and faced Duoduo, Duoduo saw more clearly.
The long-legged auntie sat steadily on Auntie Lin’s neck!
Every time Aunt Lin scratched, her fingers penetrated the dark legs, but she could not touch the entity at all.
Aunt Long Legs' mouth was grinning, as if she was smiling.
"Jinlan, Jinlan, what's wrong with you?" An adult who knew her shouted anxiously, wanting to go up and hold her back.
Lin Jinlan seemed not to hear and suddenly rushed in another direction with such great strength that she knocked away two neighbors who tried to stop her.
She ran unsteadily, her bare feet making a clattering sound on the ground. The inappropriately thick down jacket wrapped around her made her running posture look clumsy and weird, like a puppet controlled by invisible strings.
"Catch her, catch her quickly, don't let her run away again!" someone shouted.
Just as several adults tried to gather around them again, Duoduo felt her hand being tightly grasped by a familiar and warm hand, which pulled her back forcefully.
Grandma is here.
"Duoduo, stop looking and go home!" Grandma's voice was urgent, with a harsh rebuke.
Duoduo stumbled as her grandmother dragged her. She subconsciously pointed at Aunt Lin, who was still stumbling forward, and was eager to tell her grandmother what she had seen: "Grandma! Look at Aunt Lin's neck..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Grandma interrupted her suddenly, her voice very low, with an unprecedented fear.
Her rough palms were a little sweaty, and she covered Duoduo's mouth almost fiercely, blocking the rest of the words.
Grandma's hands were clasped tightly together, and Duoduo could even feel her fingers trembling slightly.
At the moment when grandma covered Duoduo's mouth, the long-legged aunt riding on Aunt Lin's neck suddenly turned her head!
Those eyes penetrated the chaotic crowd and accurately fixed on Duoduo's face.
All the blood in Duoduo's body seemed to freeze instantly.
She couldn't make a sound, she could only stare wide-eyed, looking straight into those inhuman black eyes through the gaps between her grandmother's fingers.
The corners of Aunt Long Legs' mouth widened even more.
Grandma seemed to feel the chill, her body stiffened, and she held Duoduo's hand even tighter, almost half dragging and half carrying Duoduo home, her steps fast and chaotic.
Grandma kept muttering in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the child is dazzled and may have seen wrongly, there is nothing..."
[It drives a person crazy]
[Oh my god, if that ghost knew the little girl could see her, would it come after her?]
[Running barefoot in a down jacket is so weird]
Duoduo was almost dragged back home by her grandmother. Only after the door was closed did her grandmother let go of the hand that was covering her mouth. She leaned against the door and gasped for breath. Her face looked not much better than Duoduo's.
"Duoduo," grandma squatted down, holding Duoduo's small shoulders tightly with both hands, her eyes more serious than ever, even with a hint of pleading.
"Listen to grandma. No matter what you saw just now, just pretend you didn't see it. Don't tell anyone. Do you understand? Don't say a word!"
Duoduo looked at her grandmother's frightened and extremely solemn face, and remembered the pair of eyes staring at her. Her little body was still shaking, and she could only nod in confusion and fear.
Later, Aunt Lin was sent away and never appeared in the community again.
Duoduo only heard fragments of information from her mother and grandmother's hushed conversations, saying that Aunt Lin was ill, very ill, and had been transferred to a mental hospital.
Later...the long-legged aunt appeared on my mother's neck.
After Duoduo recalled this experience, her little body was still trembling slightly.
"That long-legged aunt has been on me." Duoduo scratched her head, not sure if what she said was right.
"But it was only for a moment, and then it disappeared. But afterwards I kept hearing the sound of marbles under my bed. That night."
Duoduo was referring to the night when she saw Aunt Lin running wildly in the neighborhood after she was targeted by the long-legged ghost.
That day, Duoduo was forced to go to bed by her grandmother, who only left a dim night light on.
Duoduo had just been frightened in the morning. She lay in bed with her eyes wide open and her ears erect. The pair of pure black eyes that had appeared during the day seemed to still be staring at her in the darkness.
Just when she was finally a little confused, she suddenly heard a tapping sound.
The sound was very light and crisp, like small glass beads falling on the wooden floor and bouncing a few times, followed by the sound of marbles rolling.
Duoduo's sleepiness disappeared in an instant. She held her breath and listened carefully.
The sound came from under the bed, intermittent and irregular, and was particularly clear in the quiet night.
She remembered her grandmother's words and tried to pretend she hadn't heard them. She closed her eyes tightly and pulled the quilt over her head.
But the sound seemed to penetrate into my ears, becoming clearer and clearer.
Dadada...
The sound became more and more frequent, like several marbles running around under the bed, colliding with each other, bouncing at the foot of the bed, and then rolling away.
Duoduo couldn't bear it any longer. She suddenly threw back the quilt and crawled to the bed like a frightened little rabbit. Holding her breath, she carefully stuck her head out and looked at the dark bottom of the bed.
The dim light of the night light barely outlined the outline of the bottom of the bed.
There was nothing under the bed except a thin layer of dust, and nothing else. The sound had also disappeared.
Duoduo lay there and stared for a long time, her eyes were sore, but she didn't see anything. She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly retreated into the quilt and lay down again.
Just as I closed my eyes and covered myself with the quilt, the sound of marbles rolling rang out again, more frequent and louder than before.
Duoduo was so scared that she almost jumped out of the bed. She didn't dare to lie down anymore. She quickly lay down on the edge of the bed again, almost sticking her head under the bed to look.
Quietly.
She took out the hidden flashlight and turned it on in a panic. The dazzling beam of light instantly filled the area under the bed.
The ground was flat, there were no marbles, nothing that would make any noise, it was completely empty.
The sound disappeared the moment she leaned down.
The only sound she could hear in the bedroom was her own heartbeat. She remained lying on her stomach, not daring to move.
She held the flashlight tightly in her little hand, and the beam of light swept back and forth under the empty bed, hoping to illuminate something, even a rolling marble.
But no, there was nothing, only deathly silence.
She even suspected that the long-legged aunt would press on her neck again while she was looking under the bed, but she didn't.
【Marble ball sound, classic haunted configuration! 】
[The key is that it knows the little girl is watching, so it waits until she lies down before making the sound!]
[I said, this is scarier than seeing a ghost directly]
"I didn't see anything until I was back in bed."
That day, the flashlight shone all night and the sound of marbles rang all night, but she didn't dare to look anymore.
Duoduo fell silent after she finished speaking. She scratched her face and chin, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
"Pick up your phone and quietly walk over to your mother, facing the camera towards her. Don't let her see you, and don't make any noise."
Jiang Chuxu's voice broke the silence, making Duoduo less scared.
Duoduo sniffed hard, wiped away the tears hanging on her eyelashes, and held the phone tightly in her little hands.
She tiptoed out of her room silently.
The light in the living room was brighter than in the children's room. Her mother was sitting on the sofa with her back to her, holding a magazine in her hand, looking relaxed.
The camera slowly moved forward and focused on the woman on the sofa.
Jiang Chuxu's gaze penetrated the screen and fell on the woman's unaware shoulders and neck.
There, a female ghost with long hair covering her face was "sitting" in an extremely twisted posture.
Its slender neck was bent at a strange angle, and its pale face was pressed tightly against the back of the woman's head. The most terrifying thing was its two legs, which, as Duoduo described, were completely drooping, with the ends disappearing in the shadow cast by the sofa.
Its entire body was black, except for its pale face. Its eyes had pupils that were unclear, looking like two holes.
The long-legged ghost seemed to have noticed it. It tilted its head slightly, and through the gaps in its long hair, a pair of pure black eyes without whites accurately locked onto the camera of the mobile phone in Duoduo's hand, and a strange curve appeared at the corners of its mouth.
[Holy crap, that's a leg? I thought it was a shadow]
Help!
No, don't scare me like that.
[The uncanny valley effect has occurred, this is neither human nor inhuman]
"Tsk." Jiang Chuxu made an almost inaudible sound with a hint of disgust.
Without any fancy moves, an invisible force seemed to follow the live broadcast signal and accurately locked onto the long-legged ghost.
This time she didn't even follow her usual habit and ask the ghost why it targeted Duoduo and the others.
"Ugh!"
A shrill scream that was so shrill that it didn't sound like a human voice suddenly exploded, and the sound seemed to ring directly in the minds of all the viewers watching the live broadcast and Duoduo's mother.
"Ah!" The woman on the sofa was frightened by the sudden scream and the magazine in her hand fell to the ground.
She covered her ears in horror and jumped up from the sofa as if she had been electrocuted. Her face turned pale as paper in an instant.
"Who? What's that noise?!"
The camera shook violently, and Duoduo's hands were shaking with fear, but she still held the phone tightly.
The long-legged ghost seemed to be thrown into boiling magma. The whole ghost figure twisted wildly, and the body was torn apart. The evil energy gushed out from the torn parts, accompanied by its extremely painful howls.
【Just take action directly? 】
[The host is amazing! Silent casting]
[The ghost is smoking! Smoking in the physical sense]
The long-legged ghost felt the fatal threat, and for the first time, extreme fear appeared in its eyes. It gave up clinging to the host, and its remaining body exploded into a ball of yin energy, and like a frightened snake, it slipped away from the woman's shoulder.
Its goal was extremely clear. It ran towards the huge floor-standing fish tank at the other end of the living room. It wanted to escape through the water!
"Having legs that are too long is quite a nuisance, what do you think?" Jiang Chuxu commented calmly as he looked in the direction where the long-legged ghost fled.
The audience in the live broadcast room had no idea what she did. They only saw that the ball of evil energy in the fish tank suddenly stopped moving. After a few seconds, it began to rush forward wildly.
But no matter how hard it hit, it seemed unable to escape from the fish tank. Every collision made the Yin energy in its body thinner, and its howling became more miserable and weak.
[Caught the turtle in the jar! So cool! ]
[Let it run! See how long it can hit you! ]
[Duoduo's mom: Who am I? Where am I? What happened just now?]
Duoduo's mother slumped on the ground, watching the madly fleeing black shadow through the live broadcast. Her mind was blank. Duoduo was also stunned, with her mouth open, and she had forgotten to be afraid.
Jiang Chuxu leaned on the sofa, looking at the black shadow on the screen whose aura was getting weaker and weaker, and it seemed that he had no intention of taking any further action.
After a few minutes, the black shadow stopped moving, but the negative energy around it was still slowly dissipating.
Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Chuxu began to explain: "This kind of ghost that can be seen at a glance as non-human is very complicated to form, and it is basically not a human that changes into a ghost."
Jiang Chuxu just said a few simple words without going too deep into details, but it also let the audience know why he took direct action this time.
If you encounter this kind of ghost, there is basically no need to hesitate, just kill it first.
In the picture, the yin energy completely dissipated, as if it had never appeared.
Jiang Chuxu nodded with satisfaction: "It's solved, the ghost is gone."
Duoduo looked at her mother, who was slumped on the ground with a pale face but gradually regaining clarity, and then looked at the calm Jiang Chuxu on the phone screen. She couldn't help but burst into tears. This time it was a cry of release and grievance.
“Thank you, sister!”
She didn't care about her phone anymore, she threw it on the sofa, rushed over and hugged her mother tightly, "Mom, Mom, you're okay! That bad aunt was beaten away by my sister!"
Duoduo's mother held her daughter in a daze, completely unable to understand what had happened. She only remembered the horrifying scream and the black shadow that flashed before her eyes. However, her daughter's warm hug calmed her frightened heart a little.
Jiang Chuxu said nothing more. With a flick of his fingertips, he severed the connection with "Little Star".
"Next."
New connection requests are answered almost instantly.
The screen lit up, revealing a young girl in her early twenties with huge panda eyes.
She was hugging a brown stuffed bear that was almost as big as her, huddled in the corner of the bed, her eyes darting around in fear. The background was a warmly decorated but slightly messy bedroom.
"Help!" the girl's voice was faint and tearful. "I, I've seen a ghost! It's in my room!"
[Wow, another one?]
[Those dark circles, did you stay up too much last night?]
[Looking so pitiful hugging a bear]
Jiang Chuxu leaned against the sofa, Black Cat put his hands in her lap and said, "Tell me."
"It started yesterday!" The girl hugged the bear tightly, as if trying to draw courage from it. "When I went to sleep at night, I felt like someone was standing by my bed. It was so real! It was freezing cold, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to move. I held my breath and pretended to sleep. It felt like it stood there for a long, long time before it left."
"And then?" Jiang Chuxu's tone was flat.
"And this morning!" the girl's voice rose, revealing her fear.
"I got up and went to wash up, and when I came back I found that my quilt was actually folded! I never fold my quilt, even if my mom scolded me eight hundred times, I still wouldn't fold it. But this morning, the quilt was folded neatly like a piece of tofu and placed at the end of my bed!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke: "Anchor, there is definitely something! Not only did it watch me sleep last night, it also folded my quilt for me. What's wrong with this? Is it a pervert?"
【Bed-folding ghost?】
[In "The Snail Girl", are there girls in the underworld?]
Please, give me one.
[Give me one. It would be even better if you could help me with my homework.]
The comments started to go off track. The girl looked at the comments anxiously and angrily: "Don't laugh, it's really scary!"
"Also, my closet has been tidied. If I stay up late, I feel like ghosts will attack me! And the curtains will be inexplicably opened in the morning."
Jiang Chuxu didn't look at the barrage, his eyes fell on the background behind the girl, as if he was looking at something.
Xiao Hei moved in her arms, changed to a more comfortable position and continued sleeping.
"Don't be afraid," Jiang Chuxu said, "It's not something that will harm you."
Jiang Chuxu looked into the air, or rather at a place behind the girl, and asked, "Is it grandpa and grandma?"
The girl froze instantly, her eyes widening.
In the camera, two shadows so faint that they were almost transparent suddenly appeared beside the empty bed behind the girl.
They were two very old men, wearing plain old clothes, with hunched bodies and a gentle and somewhat awkward smile on their faces.
They stood side by side, right where the girl had just said she felt someone standing last night.
[Are they really grandparents?]
[Oh my god, what a reversal...]
"They, they..." The girl finally found her voice. She turned around suddenly, but her naked eyes obviously could not see anything. She only saw the empty bed.
She turned back, tears streaming down her face. "Grandpa? Grandma? Is that you?"
The old lady's shadow nodded slightly, her mouth moved, and a gentle old lady's voice with a strong country accent sounded directly in the room. Although it was very soft, it was clear enough.
"Don't be afraid, Nannan. It's your grandparents. Seeing that your quilt is a mess, just like when you were a kid, we folded it for you and tidied your wardrobe. We didn't mean to scare you."
The voice of the old man's shadow also sounded, with a hint of the pride of an old naughty boy.
"Is it folded well? Your grandma's skill! This morning, I saw you kept saying that the room was dark, so I opened the curtains to let the sunlight in."
The girl cried even harder, not out of fear, but out of longing: "Grandpa and Grandma, I missed you so much! Why are you here?"
The old lady's voice was filled with reluctance. "I came to see you. You've grown up so much, living alone, and you keep the house so clean... well, you have quite a character. Are you tired from work? Do you eat on time? You don't look well. Did you stay up late again? It's not good for your health."
The old man's voice took over, with a look of relief: "We're relieved that Nannan is doing well. It's just that you didn't make the quilt, and the room is a bit messy, so I couldn't help it. I'm glad I didn't scare you. It's time for us to leave."
"Don't go!" The girl subconsciously stretched out her hand, trying to catch the invisible shadow, but her hand passed through the air in vain. "Stay a little longer, just a little longer!"
The shadows of the two old men became more transparent and their outlines began to blur, but the smiles on their faces were extremely peaceful and contented.
The old lady's voice was like a warm breeze: "It's fine, my daughter."
The old man's voice was filled with laughter: "Eat on time, go to bed early, remember to fold the quilt occasionally and tidy up the house."
The sound gradually faded away.
The shadow disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared, and the faint chill in the room also dissipated.
The girl hugged the bear, staring blankly at the empty bed, tears flowing silently.
After several seconds, she wiped her face and looked towards the camera. Her voice was still heavily nasal, but it was much brighter: "Anchor, thank you, thank you so much."
Jiang Chuxu hummed: "Their wish has been fulfilled, and they left peacefully."
The girl nodded vigorously, crying and laughing.
"Next one." Jiang Chuxu didn't pause for long and pointed with his finger.
The connection is connected in seconds.
This time the picture was a little shaky and the lighting was dim, not like it was indoors.
The camera is filled with three young but frightened faces, two women and one man. They seem to be standing on the side of the street with a car with its hazard lights on parked behind them.
"Anchor, save us!" The boy with glasses in the middle spoke in a hoarse voice with a crying tone, almost shouting.
"We hit the real thing, people are dead, one is already dead!"
The girl next to him also looked unhappy. Her lips trembled as she added, "It's a game of courage! We went to that abandoned haunted building in the suburbs a few days ago and played it. It's the one that's all the rage online!"
"The four of us went together. Xiaokai, the one who didn't come yesterday, died!"
[Someone died?]
[Something went wrong while playing the game of courage]
[Four people went, one died, and now these three...]
[Ever since I watched the live broadcast, I gave up on committing suicide]
"How did he die?" Jiang Chuxu sat up straighter.
"Sudden death! The hospital said it was sudden death!" Another girl waved her arms excitedly, speaking incoherently, "But it's not true at all. He sent us a message in the group before he died!"
The man with glasses took out his mobile phone with trembling hands, opened a group chat, and put the screen in front of the camera.
Zooming in, I could barely make out a latest message, which was sent around 2:00 AM yesterday.
The sender’s note is “Kaizi”.
[Kaizi]: Damn! There’s someone looking at me from outside my window.
"But he lives on the 20th floor!"
Kaizi also sent a photo to a few people. It looked like it was taken casually in the chaos. It was not clear at all and was very blurry.
But you can see that there seems to be a person floating outside his window, and that person is staring at the camera, or rather, staring at Gao Kai behind the camera.
"We enlarged the photo and took a closer look, and found that..."
It turned out that there was more than just that "person" outside Gao Kai's window.
There are also faces densely packed on the windows.
