◎Strange roommate◎
Jiang Chuxu didn't say anything. Xiao Hei yawned lazily, revealing his pointed little teeth.
The online picture of "Cloud Marshmallow" was still shaking, the light was dim, and it could be seen that it was on the bed in the dormitory.
The third piece of paper held in front of the camera was put away. A rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other was heard in the picture, and he tried to breathe lightly.
【Why is there no movement?】
[The camera just shook, was there someone on the bed next to you?]
[Feeling like I'm avoiding my roommate]
A male voice came from outside the screen, with a hoarse voice like someone who had just woken up: "Lao Zhou? What are you doing? Why are you rustling?"
It was the caller’s roommate who asked.
The camera suddenly lowered, and it seemed that the caller had hung the phone on the bed.
Then came his voice, trying to sound calm and natural: "Huh? Nothing, just woke up and was checking my phone."
"Oh," the roommate replied, turning over, the bed creaking. "What time is it?"
"Hurry up."
"I'm starving. Do you want to order takeout?"
The camera was carefully picked up again, and the screen lit up again. The caller had already gotten out of bed, and the camera was aimed at his legs.
He lowered his voice and said to the camera, "I was just about to go out and get it."
"Damn, you ordered takeout without calling me?" My roommate's voice was a little dissatisfied.
"I ordered it for you," the caller said quickly. "The braised chicken from the place downstairs, double the meat."
"Really? Godfather!" My roommate's voice suddenly jumped with joy. "Thank you!"
The picture shook again, accompanied by the sound of light footsteps and doors opening and closing.
The light gradually brightened, the camera stabilized, and the caller seemed to have left the dormitory and found a secluded corner. Looking at the background behind him, it looked like a lawn in the school.
"Anchor, I'm here," the caller breathed, his voice extremely low and trembling with the feeling of having just survived a disaster. "I was scared to death, but I finally got out."
Jiang Chuxu looked at the face on the screen, whose eyes were blue and full of fear, and she just said, "Go ahead."
Zhou Yu rubbed his face hard, trying to calm himself down, but the panic in his eyes could not be hidden at all.
"There are four of us in the dormitory, with beds on the floor and desks below," he said quickly, as if he had been holding back for a long time. "I think something's wrong with the guy across from me, Wang Chao."
It all started over a month ago. Initially, the dormitory felt extremely cold, especially near Wang Chao's bed.
Because the temperature was not high, the air conditioner was not turned on and the doors and windows were closed, but the cold seemed to be able to penetrate into the bones. Zhou Yu thought it was because of the change of seasons that he was weak, so he quietly put on a sweater.
Not long after, the nightmare came, a real nightmare that I had at night.
And it wasn't just occasional; the nightmares were so frequent and so realistic that they were suffocating.
The content was similar, either he was trapped in a dark and narrow coffin, and could feel something cold and slippery crawling up his calves.
Or they were running for their lives in a damp and cold cellar, chased by an extremely short black shadow whose face could not be seen.
Every time Zhou Yu woke up, he was covered in cold sweat and his heart was pounding. The fear in his dream could linger in reality for most of the day.
"Every time I wake up, I always feel a chill on the back of my neck," Zhou Yu subconsciously shrank his neck and glanced around in fear, "It's like something is staring at me from behind."
Just when he was tormented by nightmares and the chill, Wang Chao seemed to be kissed by the goddess of luck.
He won a few hundred dollars on a scratch-off lottery ticket he bought casually. He crammed for a subject he usually failed the night before the exam and got all the multiple-choice questions right. He could even pick up money while walking on the street. Even the girl Wang Chao had a crush on for a long time, who had clearly rejected him before, suddenly confessed to him.
"It's ridiculous!" Zhou Yu emphasized, his face devoid of envy, only fear. "It's bizarre. He's completely changed. He used to be quite talkative, but now he's silent. His eyes are either empty or... well, sometimes I see him staring blankly at his phone or out the window, and his eyes are so bright they're scary. I feel like he's particularly greedy."
Zhou Yu wasn't sure if his feelings were right, but Wang Chao felt it was really strange.
Wang Chao's whereabouts became erratic. He often returned to the dormitory late at night, and there was always an indescribable smell on his body.
It was a mixture of earthy smell and the sultry smell of burning low-quality incense, especially like just rolling around in a cemetery. The smell was very faint, but Zhou Yu was sensitive to smells, so he could smell it clearly.
"Anchor, do you think this is normal?" Zhou Yu's voice was filled with tears.
[Good guy, it really looks like raising a little ghost]
[Yin energy absorbs Yang energy, nightmares are followed, good luck bursts and people become strange, all the elements are complete]
【Roommate's Strange Story】
[This guy went to a grave to dance in the middle of the night, how can he still sound so tacky?]
[But it's just good luck, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have raised a ghost.]
"Go on." Jiang Chuxu's voice was calm, and his hand occasionally stroked the shiny fur of the little black cat in his arms.
What really made Zhou Yu feel strange was one late night a week ago.
Zhou Yu was awakened by another nightmare, and cold sweat soaked his pajamas.
He had just opened his eyes, his heart still beating wildly, when he heard an extremely subtle sound.
"rustle……"
The sound was so clear, right next to my ear, so close!
The sound seemed to come from Wang Chao's pillow.
The dormitory was pitch black, with only the light from my roommate's cell phone who was still staying up late.
Zhou Yu lay there stiffly, holding his breath, staring at the blurry outline of the pillow on Wang Chao's bed.
With the help of that little light, he was horrified to find that the surface of Wang Chao's pillow seemed to be moving!
It was not a large fluctuation, but an extremely slight wriggling, as if there was something hidden in the pillow core, slowly arching and scratching inside.
The surface of the fabric shows irregular tiny bumps.
"My hair stood on end!" Zhou Yu's voice was shaking. "I didn't dare move. The noise lasted for a few minutes, then stopped. There was no sound at all. But I didn't dare close my eyes the whole night. I kept them open until dawn."
Ever since he noticed the unusual noise coming from his pillow, Zhou Yu felt that the attention he was receiving in the dormitory had suddenly intensified.
Especially when he had his back to Wang Chao's bed, it seemed like someone was staring at him from behind.
Even if Wang Chaoren was not in the dormitory, as long as he got close to his bed, he would feel like he was being stared at, and the temperature in the dormitory would drop even lower.
He began to notice Wang Chao's even stranger behavior.
Several times, Zhou Yu woke up in the middle of the night or pretended to be asleep, and with the dim light of his mobile phone screen, he caught a glimpse of Wang Chao taking something out from under his pillow in the dead of night.
Sometimes it is raw rice, sometimes it is a small piece of dark red and black meat, and sometimes it is even a handful of grayish-white flour-like substance.
He would place these things carefully on the bedside, his lips moving silently as if he was muttering something.
After finishing everything, he would quickly put the things away and hide them, his movements as stealthy as a thief.
After struggling to wake up from a particularly realistic nightmare, Zhou Yu suddenly sat up and gasped for breath.
Just when his consciousness broke free from the nightmare and returned to reality, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something squatting next to Wang Chao's pillow out of the corner of his eye!
The thing was extremely small and its outline was unclear. It seemed to be staring at the pillow and Wang Chao's head resting on the pillow.
The moment Zhou Yu's gaze swept over, the black shadow seemed to sense his gaze, and suddenly shrank as if being sucked in, and disappeared into the pillow with a "whoosh"!
It's so fast that one wonders if it's an illusion.
Zhou Yu's voice was filled with fear: "Ever since I saw it that day, strange things have been happening more and more."
The pens and snacks he placed on his desk would inexplicably appear on the ground on Wang Chao's side. The green ivy he carefully grew on the desk began to turn yellow and wither for no reason, with black spots appearing on the leaves.
He himself felt that he was getting more and more unlucky. He would fall when walking on flat ground, his kettle would explode when he was fetching water, his cell phone would freeze inexplicably, and he was in constant trouble.
He hinted at Wang Chao's weirdness and his own discomfort to his other two roommates, but they either thought he was neurotic and overthinking, or joked that he was obsessed with horror movies. In any case, no one believed him.
Something even more bizarre happened the day before yesterday. Because of his strange good luck, Wang Chao got a very rare short-term exchange spot in the department and had to go to the neighboring city for a few days. The other roommates were locals and also went home, leaving Zhou Yu alone in the dormitory.
After Wang Chao left, the chill in the dormitory did not seem to dissipate. Instead, it seemed even more eerie because of its emptiness.
Zhou Yu was restless in the dormitory all day. Finally, one afternoon when he was woken up by the cold, he made up his mind.
He first took out his mobile phone, turned on the recording function, and carefully started recording Wang Chao's pillow.
The camera zoomed in and focused on the surface of the pillowcase. In the picture, there seemed to be an almost imperceptible bulge on the light-colored pillowcase surface for a second or two, and then it flattened out.
Although it was blurry, it was enough to prove that it was not an illusion.
Zhou Yu said: "I watched the video again and again, and it was really recorded."
This gave him some courage. He took out a pair of woolen gloves for winter and put them on, then walked towards Wang Chao's bed tremblingly.
Standing under the bed, he looked up at the pillow.
After taking a deep breath, he reached out his hand and gently touched the edge of the pillow with his fingertips through his woolen gloves.
The first feeling is cold.
The biting cold seemed to penetrate his gloves, making his fingertips numb.
Zhou Yu resisted the urge to run away. With trembling hands, he groped for the zipper head on the side of the pillowcase.
Then he gritted his teeth and used all his strength to control his trembling hands, and slowly unzipped the pillowcase.
In an instant, an indescribable stench rushed out.
The smell rushed straight into Zhou Yu's head, and he retched and burst into tears.
He held his breath, suppressed his nausea, and reached in to feel around. Besides the fluffy pillow core, there was indeed a hard object inside!
He carefully pulled it out.
It was a hard object tightly wrapped in dark red cloth, about the size of an adult's palm.
The outside of the cloth bag was wrapped with several thick black things. I don't know how it was done, but it was tied into a knot. Zhou Yu felt that this thing looked particularly like human hair.
The curtains in the dormitory were drawn and the light was very dim. He brought the strange cloth bag close to his eyes, hoping to see it more clearly with the light from his mobile phone screen.
Just as he got closer, a voice sounded in his ear.
“Hehehe…”
The sound was like a child's intermittent laughter.
【My mental pollution】
【You are still brave】
[Just listening to it makes me feel a little dead]
Zhou Yu was so frightened that his soul was about to leave his body. His hand trembled and the cold cloth bag fell out of his hand.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, the cloth bag fell to the ground.
Just as the cloth bag fell to the ground, the hair-like thing wrapped around the outside of the cloth bag seemed to loosen a little.
The originally tight knot seemed to loosen a little bit.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu felt that the faint pulsation inside the cloth bag suddenly stopped.
The dormitory fell into dead silence. Even his own heartbeat and breathing disappeared, leaving only a buzzing in his ears.
At the same time, the malicious gaze came from the dark red cloth bag on the ground, as if it penetrated the greasy red cloth and locked onto him.
That feeling was more obvious than any time before.
Then, Zhou Yu saw a small outline rising from the surface of the cloth bag.
The outline looked like a curled child's finger!
It was trying to push open the red cloth and tangled hair from inside the cloth bag.
How did you resist running away?
[Even after something like this happened, you still dare to live in the dormitory]
[It's me, I moved out overnight]
Just at this moment.
“Click.”
Outside the dormitory door, there was a clear sound of a key being inserted into the lock and the door lock being turned!
Someone's back?!
