Chapter 114
"So what do we do next?"
The servant looked at the dark houses around him, and with a tearful face, he asked about Paradise.
Leyuan looked around the rooms and suddenly became interested. He said to the servant, "Wait for me here for a while. I'll go in and take a look and come out right away. If we look in all the rooms and there are no clues or people inside, then even if there is nothing, we can find a way to leave here. It's not too late."
The servant asked doubtfully, "Really? But, I think there are a lot of houses here. If we look at each one, even for a blink of an eye, it will take a long time. If we wait to see them all before leaving, it may be too late. We may be discovered on the way back."
Leyuan said: "You have come out, and you think you will not be discovered?"
The servant lowered his head and muttered, "I hope I won't be discovered. Even if I am discovered, I have to tell myself that I won't do that. Otherwise, how can I live? I am afraid that my legs will go weak at the thought of it. My life will be hard in the future. If the master drives me out of the house, I will be finished. I won't be able to live. It is better to die early than to die.
It would be cleaner for me to die. It would be better than losing face and losing my dignity."
Paradise said, "Oh, it's up to you. What do you want to do?"
The servant thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."
He shook his head and said, "I don't want to think about what's going to happen next. I always feel that it will be terrible. I don't want it to be that bad. So, please, sir, can you let me not think about so many troublesome things for the time being? I really want to relax and be at ease."
Leyuan frowned and said, "You can be relaxed if you want, but have you ever thought about it? It's impossible for you to be relaxed and carefree in your current state, as if you don't know anything."
The servant looked gloomy, lowered his head, and almost sat on the ground. He bent over and said to Le Yuan, "I know."
He hugged his head with a look of pain on his face, squatted down, and was at a loss for words. He wanted to bang his head against the wall next to him, and murmured, "I know, but if I think about it carefully, it is really a great torture. I wish I could die now, that would be my relief. This result is also a good thing. I don't have to explain to others. Anyway, there is only you here.
If you don't tell others, no one else will know. If you tell others, others will have to be able to find this place.
If I commit suicide, it will have nothing to do with other people, and I can save a lot of trouble. What's wrong with that?
I just can't think of anything! Please, sir, sir, have mercy on me, don't make it hard on me. I'm going crazy from all those countless thoughts! I don't want to be half dead, I don't want to be unable to do anything. I didn't come out to suffer and die! Please, sir, go wherever you want, do whatever you want, don't ask me what to do anymore!
I can't say it, I can't say it, just think of me as a piece of garbage, garbage can't do anything, can't do anything, you know, please, don't ever pass on any burden of anything to me, I will definitely mess it up, dirty everything, ruin the whole house, nothing will work, and you still have to tell yourself that it's because I'm not used to it, hahaha!
Ahhh—"
As expected, he held his head in pain and slammed into the wall. Leyuan was standing not far away and watching him. He didn't react for a while and didn't have time to stop him before he hit his head with a bang. A little blood flowed out from the broken wound and slowly drilled into his eyes. He blinked, and his eyes were blood red and his vision was blurred.
Seeing that his emotions didn't seem so intense anymore, Leyuan asked tentatively, "What do you think?"
The servant relaxed all of a sudden. Both of his hands loosened, and both of his arms slowly dropped down to his sides. Then he felt that this posture was not good, so he turned over and lay on the ground. He turned over, looked at the paradise, and laughed, "I'm fine! I'm fine! I'm not sad anymore, I'm not uncomfortable anymore. I don't have any problems at all. Hahaha!"
He doesn't look well, he looks crazy.
Leyuan smiled at him and said, "Okay, I'll go into the room next door, and you just wait here for me to come out. If you can wait, you can go with me. If not, you can just go to sleep and talk about it when you wake up. If you have a dream, play in it for a while. Maybe I can't find the way out even if I walk through the room. Don't be discouraged or angry, understand?"
The servant nodded obediently, like a giant rag doll that could only nod, standing still and looking at the paradise.
Leyuan finished giving him instructions and saw that he seemed to have listened. He nodded, turned around and walked into the second dark room.
The whole street here is full of dark houses like this. I wonder if the things inside are any different.
Leyuan stepped over the threshold, and the second dark room suddenly lit up, just like the countless red and green lights surrounding the huge Christmas tree at Christmas time. Leyuan was caught off guard by the brightness and covered his eyes for a moment. He couldn't see anything clearly for a while, and he only felt a stinging pain in his eyes, and then tears slowly welled up from inside.
With the power of tears, Leyuan slowed down. He came to his senses, took a deep breath, put down his hands that were blocking his eyes, moved his hands away, blinked, his eyelashes trembling, and saw the situation in the house. It was ordinary, nothing special to say, as if this house had a magical power that made everyone who entered here feel that everything was ordinary.
Leyuan walked around inside, but didn't find anything special. He gradually felt sleepy. He went to the bedroom and stretched out his hand lightly, and the door opened by itself. The reason why it was said to open by itself was that when Leyuan stretched out his hand, before he touched the door, the door creaked and slowly opened in front of Leyuan, revealing the full view of the bedroom.
Leyuan felt an itch on the back of his neck, so he reached over and scratched it. Suddenly he felt something was wrong, so he grabbed a black bug and crushed it to death. He squinted his eyes, and was so sleepy that he almost fell asleep on the ground. He knew in his heart that something was wrong, but his body could no longer perform any other activities, so he had to find a bed.
Because after finding the bed, he would feel better when sleeping. His body now only has a little mobility in this regard. It's like he is squinting his eyes now, and the only light and blurry shadows he can see are swaying. It's not because the bedroom is so special in this room that he can stay awake with his eyes open when he is extremely sleepy, but because he is looking for a bed.
His body wanted to sleep more comfortably.
Although his brain didn't think so, his consciousness was like a rusty gear that was turning with great effort. He didn't think about too many things, but he felt that there was more than one bug.
He finally walked to the bed and fell down all at once, his whole body leaning on the bed. He closed his eyes in an instant and fell asleep, soundlessly, without a sound or a movement, as if he were dead.
After a while, Leyuan was lying on the bed at an angle, still motionless. Something seemed to be relieved and quietly approached him, moved him from the side of the bed to the bed, took off his shoes and socks, covered him with a quilt, patted the pillow, and let him sleep well in his own bed.
Paradise knew nothing about this.
He was still in a dream. Obviously, this dream was not controlled by him and had no close relationship with him.
He was just an innocent passerby who was dragged into it.
Although the dream and its owner may not think so, Paradise itself thinks so, and he does not think there is anything wrong with him.
Never.
Click.
A black insect fell from a great height, and then, as if it were raining heavily, many insects fell down, some dropped from the roof, some flew in from the windows, some fell from the beams. They were everywhere, densely packed, and pitch black, covering the entire park.
Paradise is wrapped in insects, still in a dream, sleeping.
He was in a daze and had forgotten what happened before.
He became a student again.
This time, he would set out from his residence every day, walk a distance, go to the one-building school, climb the stairs, and go to school. There were many students in the school, but the teachers were almost invisible on the road. After school, security guards would appear at the school gate, responsible for opening and closing the door, holding a red round remote control in their hands.
All the security guard had to do was press that button and the door would slowly swing open, like a naked stripper dropping a hair from her skin.
It is hard to tell whether this is an attempt to cover up something or to cover up one's own faults.
It's quite funny.
Leyuan was ready to go out with his schoolbag. He lived in a small house. The house was all white. He couldn't see the details clearly, but he knew that it was beautiful and he liked it very much. He smiled at every piece of furniture, touched the sofa in the living room, and said to the bright red face of the little girl on the sofa: "I like you very much. Thank you for sleeping with me."
As he spoke, he lowered his head. The little girl struggled out from behind the sofa, touched his hair and bit it. His hair was a little shorter, but there was no streak of hair falling on the ground.
Leyuan touched his hair, smiled at the girl, turned to Cha Ji and said, "Hello, today is another new day. Please give me your advice. I like you very much. Can you say hello to me?"
The teapot shook a little, just like the sudden shaking during an earthquake. Someone next door cursed: "Fuck you! Do you have no mother? What are you doing in the middle of the night? It's so noisy! So noisy! Fuck you, if you keep doing this, I'm going to fuck your grandma's legs tonight, open your door, stab you to death, roast you over the fire, and tear off your legs to eat!"
There was a sound of saliva dripping, and the person next door seemed to make a hissing sound. Then, the sound became much weaker, and he seemed to be very hungry, muttering to himself: "It has delicate skin and tender meat, so it must be delicious. Delicious, hehehehe!"
Leyuan glanced at the white wall, ignored it, and said to Cha Ji with a smile: "I'm going to school, aren't you going to say hello to me?"
Cha Ji stretched his neck as far as he could and kissed Le Yuan, leaving a dark red circular scar on Le Yuan's neck. It looked like a burn mark with complicated lines inside. It was hard to tell what it was trying to draw or what it was trying to say. However, when Le Yuan looked at herself in the mirror, she thought it looked quite beautiful.
Leyuan smiled at Chaji and said, "Thank you!"
The tea table quickly turned red, as if it was shy. It changed from a large rectangle to a square and was still trying to shrink itself.
Leyuan chuckled and walked to the cabinet next to her, which was a cabinet filled with many useless, rotten schoolbags and waste papers. Leyuan touched the cabinet and it shook. In response, there was a loud sound inside, but there was a mouse running around. Leyuan patted the cabinet door, just like feeding a child with food accumulation.
The door of the cupboard suddenly opened, and a dead mouse fell out. Leyuan picked up the mouse happily and said with a smile: "Oh! Is this a gift for me?"
The cabinet twisted into a concave shape in the middle and nodded.
Leyuan was very happy and said, "Then I'll eat it. This is my breakfast today. What do you think?"
The cabinet nodded.
Paradise swallowed the mouse whole. Perhaps because this was a dream, even though the mouse was no bigger than a palm and a little longer than an arm, Paradise grabbed the mouse by the tail and swallowed it easily like a giant bird. The mouse went into his mouth, slid down his throat, and then went from the throat into his stomach, as if there was only one pocket inside his body.
Paradise swallowed the mouse, touched the refrigerator next to the cabinet, frowned, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are giving me this garbage now? It's so dirty. So dirty."
The refrigerator shook, and black dirt slowly flowed down to the ground.
"You become clean."
Leyuan reached out her hand curiously and touched it. This time, there was no sticky feeling. Leyuan hugged the refrigerator and kissed it: "As expected, you are the best to me! Kiss, kiss!"
The neighbor next door started to curse again: "Fuck you! You eat shit, you eat all day long, what the hell do you do besides eating? Who are you annoying here all day? It's so annoying. Who yelled and made you scream here, you fucking psychopath, it's none of your business whether others eat or not! You have so many problems, you, just pretending! Do you think others can't see that you are sick?"
Leyuan turned a deaf ear to the neighbor's words and took the refrigerator and was about to leave. The refrigerator shook, opened the door, and stretched out a pale hand to grab Leyuan's clothes, indicating that Leyuan should take some food from inside before leaving. Leyuan shook his head: "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."
The refrigerator was a little disappointed, but still closed the door. However, the microwave in the kitchen lit up and made a ding sound, as if something inside was ready. Leyuan walked over to take a look, and the microwave opened its door by itself. Leyuan lowered her head and saw a bowl of white rice inside with a little pink incense ash sprinkled on the surface, and a pair of chopsticks sticking straight up in the rice.
The chopsticks shook slightly twice, as if saying hello to the paradise.
Le Yuan smiled at them with his eyes crooked, "Okay, you guys are eating secretly behind my back!"
The warm yellow light from the microwave oven bent slightly, revealing the arc of a smile.
Leyuan touched the microwave and said, "You can eat it yourself. I'm not hungry. Really."
The microwave was skeptical and turned off the warm yellow light.
Leyuan walked out, touched the kitchen door, and then touched the top of the shoe cabinet.
The shoe cabinet made a giggling sound, as if it had tickled an itchy spot.
The guy next door couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "You f*cking bastards, are you crazy? You're making such a noise so early in the morning! Fuck you, you're going to die if you don't make noise? I'm going to fuck you all! Smash it all! Blow it up! Fuck you! Fuck you! Bullshit!"
Leyuan patted the shoe cabinet lightly, moved to the handle of a drawer near the door, and said softly, "Don't argue with them, they hate it."
The shoe cabinet pulled its drawer to indicate that it understood.
Paradise smiled at it, opened the door, and said to the furniture in the house, "Then I will leave."
The neighbor yelled again, "I'm going to scold you to death! I'm going to kill you! You all deserve to die! Your whole family! I curse you, and anyone who hears you, die! Your whole family will die! What are you pretending for? You're all fucking insane. A good person would do this? A good person would chop people with a knife? A good person would pretend? Bullshit! Disgusting stuff."
Leyuan stepped over the threshold, and the shoe cabinet almost chased out, throwing a rice ball from the cabinet, trying to ask Leyuan to take it away. Leyuan picked up the rice ball from the ground, and the floor bulged outwards, trying to touch Leyuan a little. Leyuan touched the floor and said softly: "I'm sorry, the neighbor seems to hate me. I have to leave as soon as possible to avoid being killed."
The floor was skeptical, but slowly returned to its original state.
Leyuan smiled and said, "Anyway, you can go out this morning. Thank you very much. Just take care of yourselves. I'm going to school now. I'll be back soon after school. You don't have to worry about me."
A group of things nodded, and the door slowly closed.
The park waved to them and the elevator came.
The elevator door opened with a ding sound, like the sound of a microwave. The white light inside instantly turned into a warm yellow light when Paradise turned around to look inside, like an enlarged version of a microwave. Before Paradise entered the elevator, he glanced at the red number next to it. It was the sign for the -18th floor.
The park paused and the elevator began to shake, as if a drunkard was trying to ignore everyone's advice and spend the night on the street. He didn't care at all that after sleeping on the street at night, he would freeze to death the next morning, and even his body was frozen and tidied up.
The elevator door opened and closed repeatedly, trying to get Leyuan to come in quickly. Leyuan patted the elevator door and whispered to it, "Please, I want to go to the first floor, not the negative first floor, nor the negative eighteenth floor. I know there is no negative eighteenth floor in this building. Don't go the wrong way."
The elevator quickly heated up and turned bright red, like a piece of bloody raw pork that had just been cut off.
The elevator doors stood still, gradually bending, and even dripped a lot of sticky liquid, which was either silvery white, dark black, or a gray semi-solid mixture. The gap between the elevator doors was no longer a rectangle, but an irregular semicircle.
Paradise looked at the excitement on the elevator and smiled lovingly, "You are still so cute."
The elevator door suddenly spurted out white steam, like the stuff that comes out of the steamer in the kitchen when fermented dough is ready to be put in. It was hot and wet, and I couldn't see clearly anywhere, but I knew that my joy was unquestionable.
"When the hell are you going to die? I've been through this for long enough! Fuck you."
The neighbor shouted through the door.
Perhaps thinking that Leyuan was already in the elevator, the neighbor finally couldn't help himself and opened the door of his house. Once the door was opened, he had no choice but to pull it out of Leyuan's house with a bang and fell at Leyuan's feet at the elevator door. Leyuan looked at him and asked, "Neighbor?"
The neighbor quickly shook his head: "No, no! I'm not! I don't dare!"
Leyuan said, "Then I will go to school."
The neighbor nodded repeatedly: "It's up to you, go ahead. Go as early as possible."
Leyuan smiled, and the neighbor shuddered. Leyuan entered the elevator, and the elevator door slowly closed. The neighbor started to curse: "You shameless thing! Do you think I'm afraid of you? The most I can do is that I can't run faster than you! Who do you think you are! Haha. As expected, I won. I won!"
He began to crawl on the ground.
The elevator had already left. Hearing him talking here, I opened the door and hit him with the chain. He had his back to the elevator and didn't expect to be hit again. He turned around immediately and lay on the ground again, angrily saying, "Who are you? How dare you hit me? Sooner or later I will make you pay the price! Wuwuwu, it hurts, wuwuwu——"
He reached out and rubbed the part of himself that was hit, trying hard to get back home, and the door slammed shut.
The neighbor burst into tears and threw himself at the door of his house, grabbing the door handle and shouting, "Don't leave me! I don't want to die! Ahhh——"
The door was annoyed by his noise and became furious. It was opened with a bang. The neighbor was overjoyed and was about to get up to go into the house to rest, but he was hit by the door when it opened. He cried out and flew out, almost hitting the door opposite. Fortunately, he didn't. He tried hard to grab the handrail of the stairs beside him, stood up limping with a smile, and rushed back.
He jumped over the threshold and returned to the house. He was very happy and rolled on the ground: "I'm back, I'm back, what can you do to me? Lululu~"
As if he was afraid of losing face, he suddenly closed the door of his house, and nothing could be seen outside.
The neighbor was still a little unhappy. He kicked the carpet and said, "It's all your fault. You are useless and have caused me to fall into this situation. It's all your fault. You should reflect on yourself and remember to correct your mistakes and give me a letter of apology. If not, I will ask you for it. Hahaha."
Leyuan had been taken to the negative eighteenth floor by the elevator. It was pitch black outside. It looked like a garage. Only white lights were on. There were empty spaces on the ground filled with cars. Leyuan shook his head and whispered to the elevator, "We've taken the wrong road. Shall we go back?"
The elevator shook, and Leyuan held onto the railing and asked, "Shall we go to the first floor?"
The elevator was reluctant but still went up slowly. When it reached the first floor, the elevator door to the negative eighteen floors was not closed. A group of blurry-looking people crowded into the elevator. It was just a phantom. They didn't step on the real elevator but accidentally fell into the elevator shaft. With a cry, they all fell into a mess and could only find a way to climb out by themselves.
For a moment, there were wailing and cursing everywhere in the elevator shaft.
The elevator door opened and Leyuan walked out. This was the first floor. Leyuan said goodbye to the elevator: "Goodbye, I will be back in the evening. Then, I will find you to go home!"
The elevator swung up and down, and a bright red smiling face facing the park appeared from the glass interior of the door.
Leyuan nodded and walked away.
He walked out of his residence and the building twisted and turned into a pitch-black bloody mouth with white teeth exposed. A pile of colorful things were sprayed out like garbage and flew around in the air, just like discarded plastic bags that were torn into strips and blown all over the sky by a strong wind.
A closer look revealed that those colorful plastic strips were not real garbage bags, but from the residents on the -18th floor.
In other words, they are all non-existent people who spend more time on the -18th floor than in other places. They have nothing to do all day and like to wander around. They have a lot of fun, but they don't look very happy. If someone saw them, they probably wouldn't think they were having a party instead of worrying about working in a slaughterhouse and getting too much blood and smelling too bad.
A burst of small laughter came from behind.
Leyuan turned his head in confusion, but saw no one. He continued walking forward, and the strange sound came from behind him again. He turned his head again, but saw no one. However, this time he saw a shadow. The shadow was vague and very faint, as if it did not exist. However, true non-existence should not be visible.
Leyuan rubbed his eyes, thinking that he must have seen it wrong, so he turned around and continued on his way to school.
There was a burst of laughter. Leyuan didn't want to pay attention to it, but suddenly he was patted on the shoulder by a hand. He turned his head and saw that his other shoulder was also patted. Leyuan felt a little sleepy and almost wanted to fall asleep on the road. He ignored it and let the hand pat him. Halfway through his walk, he saw the traffic lights. Cars were coming and going, and Leyuan stood by the road waiting.
When Leyuan squinted his eyes and wanted to take a rest, he suddenly saw a colorful round hand on his shoulder. The palm and back of the hand were white, and the fingers were round, as if they were cut in two sections, leaving only four fingers. They moved freely, were very sensitive, and reacted quickly. When they saw Leyuan discovered him, they disappeared in an instant.
Leyuan was too lazy to pay attention to it, so he looked away and looked at the traffic light opposite. Suddenly, something hit him. Leyuan turned around and found that there was a doll on his shoulder.
This doll has a round head, a round body, round hands and feet, and a clown mask on its face. It looks like an anthropomorphic version of a mole toy, and is associated with the circus clown.
"What can I do for you?"
Paradise asked it as softly and gently as possible.
Its stomach made a rumbling sound, and the traffic light changed. The park walked forward. The doll handed the park a promotional leaflet. The park took it, and the doll disappeared. It walked outside the zebra crossing. The park lowered its head, read the leaflet as it walked forward, and saw that it said, "The circus is open, welcome, and the address is at the door."
The park blinked its eyes, and the flyer quickly became blurred as if it had been soaked in water. It seemed to have rotted in the hand.
The park found a trash can and put the flyer in. A translucent green insect spread its long wings, called to the park, and spit out some water. It looked very cute and funny.
A person who was passing by the trash can in the same way as the amusement park did, took a look here, felt strange, saw the bug, and was immediately horrified. He covered his mouth and screamed, "Ah ...
The screams were so terrifying that before the park could react, a group of people rushed out from the side, rushed over, sprayed the bugs in the trash can with a bottle of insecticide, and used a large rag bag that looked like pig feed to sweep away the bugs on the surface of the trash can.
The screaming passerby quickly grabbed the hand of one of the people in the group, shaking it up and down, expressing gratitude repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, wuwuwu, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what I should do, it was so scary, you don't know, I was really scared at the time, I almost died."
Before he could finish his words, the screaming passerby turned into a pile of pieces that looked like McNuggets that had been put through a meat grinder.
Paradise blinked, avoided the passers-by, and prepared to leave.
The passerby was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled out a small blood-red handkerchief from his body, waved it at the backs of the group of people who had dealt with the bugs and turned away, and shouted, "I will remember you, I will thank you, I am very grateful to you, and I will find a way to let you know my feelings! I am not lying, I am not deceiving you, I am serious!"
The group walked away.
The amusement park was getting farther away, and I could no longer hear the voice of the person behind me. It was another traffic light.
Opposite is a shop, in which sits a little boy, one hand pressing a white exercise book on the table, the other holding a small ball, like a football, with his head lowered, short hair, blue clothes, white shoes. When he walks on the road, the shoes make a creaking sound, and emit colorful light in the dark, which looks very cool and probably not cheap.
At the door of the store, there was something like an armchair. Sitting inside it was a middle-aged man who looked a bit old. I didn't know how old he was. He was wearing a white vest shirt and dark blue flip-flops. He lifted his legs, as if he was exercising, but soon gave up and started breathing heavily. He shook his feet, and his shoes flew out and fell on the zebra crossing, where he was run over by a car.
Paradise blinked, the traffic light changed color, and he walked out.
The middle-aged man's eyes were always on him, like a fly accidentally stuck by glue.
Leyuan didn't like that kind of look, so he quickened his pace and walked to the school gate breathlessly.
There was no security guard at the door, so Leyuan looked around, wondering if he was too late, so he ran faster into the teaching building, climbed the stairs, and reached the classroom door. The door was open, and Leyuan appeared at the door. The bell for class rang, and the teacher was standing on the podium, talking to the students below. Hearing the sound at the door, he turned around, saw Leyuan, and smiled.
"Did you calculate the time to come? It's just in time! If the bell didn't ring, you wouldn't come. But when the bell rang, you came?"
The teacher smiled.
Leyuan had nothing to say. She could only lower her head, her cheeks flushed, and try to lower her breathing as much as possible.
The teacher finished teasing, waved to Leyuan and said, "Come in. We have class later. What does it look like standing at the door?"
Leyuan nodded, quickly went into the classroom and sat in his seat.
The teacher started the class. The content of the class was about theoretical knowledge of cooking, and also talked about fire safety knowledge that needed attention.
The class passed quickly, and Leyuan lay on the table feeling sleepy. The students around him also began to rest.
Before leaving, the teacher said to the students, "I have assigned you homework. You don't have to do it in the next class. But remember to take pictures and send them to me when you get home."
The students answered the teacher's questions in bits and pieces.
The teacher nodded, reluctantly satisfied, and left.
Soon it was time for class again. Leyuan didn't concentrate and was bitten by a spider that popped out of a small blue cloth bag. He frowned and was absent-minded since then. Finally, it was time to go home. Leyuan limped out of the classroom carrying his things. His legs were a little numb. He heard the people around him laughing. He felt very uncomfortable and didn't like them.
If only I could get home soon.
Leyuan thought so and almost jumped out of the teaching building. When he walked to the school gate, he was stopped by the security guard and questioned.
The security guard looked him over first, then held out his hand to him and asked, "Where's your student ID?"
The amusement park was not found, so I turned around and went back to the classroom to look for it. The teacher asked, "What are you looking for?"
Paradise said: "Student ID card."
The teacher waved to him and said, "Come with me to the office. A student has picked up your student ID card and sent it to me. Just take it."
Leyuan lowered his head and followed the teacher: "Oh."
The teacher handed him his student ID card and said, "Remember not to lose it so easily next time."
Leyuan nodded and turned to leave. Suddenly, the teacher's phone rang. The teacher called Leyuan and said, "Wait a minute. There's a call from home."
Leyuan had no choice but to turn back and take the phone the teacher handed him. There was no sound on the other end of the phone. Leyuan could tell that the so-called home on the other end of the phone was not the place he wanted to go back to, but it was not easy to hang up the phone directly. He could only listen in boredom. He could not hear anything, no sound. The more he listened, the more disgusted he became, and the more irritated he became. In the end, he could hardly bear it any longer.
The person on the other end finally hung up the phone on his own initiative. Leyuan breathed a sigh of relief and was a little happy. He returned the phone to the teacher. Otherwise, he might really not be able to resist throwing the phone to the ground and stomping on it to vent his anger.
If I accidentally broke the teacher's cell phone, the teacher might still say, "Give me the money in a couple of days, and I'll find a way to buy a new one." However, it would be strange if the teacher could be so good-tempered after I broke the teacher's cell phone in such an angry state.
The teacher waved her hand and said, "You can go now. Be careful on the road. Are you going alone?"
Leyuan nodded and said, "Yes."
The teacher said, "Then remember to look at the road when you walk, don't talk to strangers casually, and don't eat their food casually."
Rakuen nodded.
The teacher seemed to know something and wanted to give me some advice. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "You must be careful. Don't trust the words of people you don't know. Don't follow them. It's quite dangerous outside at night."
Leyuan nodded: "I understand."
The teacher smiled and said, "Okay, you can go now."
Leyuan nodded. The teacher looked at Leyuan's back, put away his phone, glanced at the time, and murmured, "You really know how to walk, going out so late."
Leyuan didn't know what the teacher said, so he walked to the school gate with his student ID, but found that the security guard was no longer there. He felt a little disappointed, so he packed up his things and prepared to leave. The school gate was a little open, and Leyuan was about to walk out from there, but when he reached the gap in the school gate, the door suddenly closed completely. Leyuan was confused, and turned around to see that the security guard had appeared.
Leyuan felt a little uncomfortable, but he still showed his student ID to the security guard. The security guard checked it and let Leyuan go. He said to him, "Be careful on your way. If you want to come back halfway, I won't open the door for you. Come early tomorrow morning."
Leyuan nodded and said, "I understand."
The security guard waved his hand and said with a smile, "Then you can go."
Leyuan turned around to leave, and suddenly heard a loud scream from inside the school: "What do you know? Go to hell! You bastard, do you have any reason to be shameless? Fuck you!"
Leyuan glanced at the teaching building. The security guard waved his hand and drove him away, saying, "Why don't you hurry up? You want to go in? You just went out! I won't give you a chance to play tricks on me!"
Paradise: “Oh.”
He turned and walked away.
Walking to the side of the traffic light, which was also next to the store, Leyuan glanced sideways at the place where a chair was placed at the door of the store before. The middle-aged man was gone, and Leyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although that man did not cause any substantial impact on him, theoretically, he should not think that there was anything wrong with that man, but that man just looked unpleasant.
It was that look again. Leyuan frowned when he thought of it and looked across. There were only five seconds left before the traffic light changed.
He was about to move forward when a black shadow suddenly emerged from behind him and approached the park little by little. The park could see it from the ground, but when he turned around, he didn't see anyone. However, when the countdown of the traffic light reached zero, before he could take a step forward, he felt an extra person and a pair of hands behind him. Someone wanted to push him down!
Leyuan suddenly moved aside, and the man missed. Leyuan then saw that the man was the middle-aged man sitting on the chair at the door of the store.
"Are you sick?"
Leyuan frowned and asked, "If you are sick, you can go to the hospital. If not, you can go home and sleep. What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
The middle-aged man chuckled twice, staring at the amusement park with the same gaze as before, and said to him, "Isn't it because I saw you here during the day? I thought you would definitely show up tonight. At worst, I can wait until tomorrow daytime, and you will come back, or take another road. Don't think I don't know, there are not many roads here."
Leyuan asked, "You mean you came here specifically to see me? You don't look like that at all!"
The middle-aged man scratched the back of his head and lowered his head. His cheeks and ears were slightly red. He actually realized what Le Yuan was talking about and said with a smile: "Can't you tell? I thought I had already made it very obvious!"
Leyuan said, "I think your legs are about to break."
Perhaps his words were followed by actions. With a bang, a strong wind blew and the billboard on high up suddenly broke. With another bang, the billboard fell from a height at a very fast speed. The middle-aged man had no time to react and was hit, breaking one of his legs. He sat on the ground, hugged himself, and wailed, "It hurts, it hurts, ahhhh——"
Leyuan glanced at the traffic light, turned and left.
The middle-aged man looked at the amusement park with a hint of hatred and disgust, but he could only roll on the ground: "Ah! Shameless dog! Come out and save your father! What are you still hiding in there? Everyone is gone! Do you think you are so popular that anyone wants to have a piece of you? Disgusting! Disgusting! You are so narcissistic, I never taught you that!"
The little boy who was seen during the day ran out of the store and tried hard to move the billboard. The middle-aged man was furious: "I asked you to come out so that you can get me out from under here, not to waste your strength there. Don't you think you know? You are very weak. If you have the ability to move this thing, how can you still live here? Get out! Call the hospital!"
The little boy turned around without saying a word, went back into the store, picked up his cell phone and started making a call.
After a while, a car appeared at the door. The front of the car had green lights, the body was white, the front was red, and there were some dents. It looked like it had just hit something on the road. The car door opened, and a skull came out. Its body was covered with green vines, and it was wearing small blue shoes. It walked out step by step, walked to the middle-aged man, and lowered its head to look at him.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen anyone before?!"
The middle-aged man felt humiliated and furious. With red eyes, he stared at the visitor and asked.
"Oh, it's not that I haven't seen you before, but you don't look like you. I thought I took the wrong road and recognized the wrong person."
When the skull opened its mouth, it actually spoke a sweet female voice. The middle-aged man was greatly shocked, and his whole face was frozen like lard that had been left in the kitchen overnight, motionless, as if a fly was trapped dead in the wrinkles.
The skull laughed and said, "You look somewhat similar to what I thought. Since you are like this, I will take you away."
As it spoke, it stood up and clapped its hands. Two big yellow dogs, half a man's height, jumped out of the car, carrying a stretcher, wagging their tails and gritting their teeth. They ran all the way to the middle-aged man, then stopped and stopped wagging their tails. They put the stretcher down and placed it directly on the ground, not caring whether it was clean or not.
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded: "What do you mean? Am I only worthy of being looked after by two dogs? This is a humiliation! Fuck you! I can kill you! Don't think that I can't kill you just because you are a dog. No, even if you are a skeleton, I can burn you to death with fire! Don't you know what this is? I can't move! I can't get on the crossbow by myself!"
He wanted to yell at the top of his lungs and call out everyone around him to judge.
However, the atmosphere was eerily quiet. Even though the middle-aged man's voice was loud, noisy, and unpleasant, none of the lights in the surrounding residential buildings were on. The middle-aged man was a little scared. He looked towards his shop and saw the little boy was still inside, looking at him through the glass. Suddenly, he regained his courage and anger. He turned around and shouted at the skull, "Are you sick?"
The skull asked, "What?"
Sounds like he has a good temper.
The middle-aged man shouted, "If you are not sick, how could you go out with two dogs? Do you know what you are doing? Do you know what you are going to do? You are here to save people, not to kill people! Do you think the two dogs will kill me if they are so hungry? Do you think the two dogs can help me move this huge billboard? I can't leave unless I move the billboard!"
He almost collapsed after shouting this, his voice became hoarse, and he angrily said: "You don't know anything? How can a thing like you go out? Who sent you out? Are you a waste, or are you brain-damaged or blind?"
After listening to him, the skull nodded and said, "I have no brain, no eyes, no sight, no hearing, and no thinking. But do you think I know nothing? That's not necessarily the case. Since you are so disgusted with me, fine. I won't cause you any trouble. Let's go now. It's your business if you don't go to the hospital. It has nothing to do with me."
As it spoke, it waved to the two dogs, and the two dogs quickly wagged their tails, bit the sticks of the carrier, and returned to the car. Everything was very natural and smooth.
The skull turned around and tried to get back into the car and leave.
The middle-aged man looked at the unhesitating back of the skull and began to panic, shouting, "You can't just leave me alone! I called! I called!"
The middle-aged man's voice was hoarse, but it was of no use, because the skull walked away without hesitation.
The middle-aged man burst into tears, and when he was done, he shouted to the little boy, "Hurry up, call again!"
He started to curse again while on the phone: "What a bitch, do you think others care about you? It's not like I can't find someone to help me. Who cares about you? You're still pretending! If you can't see, how can you not bump into things? If you can't hear, how do you know what I'm saying? If you don't have a brain, why are you walking? Damn it! You don't know until you tell me, and I'm shocked when I tell you, damn it."
The little boy hung up the phone, looked at the middle-aged man through the glass, and said calmly and expressionlessly: "I've finished talking, and we'll be there soon."
The middle-aged man asked: "Did you tell me the address?"
The little boy replied: "Yes, the address I gave is the store entrance. They said they are on the way and will be there soon."
The middle-aged man nodded, and suddenly asked in confusion: "How come they are already on the way? Does it mean they were coming here before? Are you sure you called the hospital?"
The middle-aged man's face gradually changed, and he said angrily: "Could it be that they heard that you are a child and wanted to perfunctorily let the car that just left come back to pick me up? I don't want it! What is their basis? Are they shameless? Disgusting! Disgusting! I look down on them! They don't like me, why should I need their help? Besides, they have already left, what are they doing back?"
Before he could finish his words, a brand new car appeared on the road in front of the store.
This car was different from the previous one. This car was pure white, with blue, white and red lights flashing slowly on the top. The wheels were black, and the license plate was blue. It was clean, dust-free, and had no signs of damage. It seemed to be moving very fast. It felt like a gust of wind blew by, and the car stopped right in front of me.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then he became happy: "Hahaha! God helps me! God really loves me! Hahaha! People in the car, get out quickly and help me move the billboard! Quickly!"
The car door opened and the middle-aged man held his breath. Even for a man with his temper, he had to step back and be more cautious in this situation.
A beautiful female nurse dressed in white, high heels and black stockings came out of the door. After she came out, she crossed her arms over her chest and looked around. She saw the middle-aged man lying on the ground, barely alive. She smiled and asked, "Are you the one who called the hospital and asked us to help you?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, it was amazing. Sister Yuyin was charming and gentle, with a small and exquisite face, cold and bright eyes, and a voluptuous and charming figure. When people saw her, they couldn't help but feel a fire in their hearts.
The middle-aged man was stunned. Then, seeing the impatient look on the other side, he didn't bother to deal with the two words. He just nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'm the one who asked someone to call your hospital. Come over and help me get me out from under the billboard!"
The woman laughed and said, "You should have the right attitude when asking for help. What's your attitude?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but cursed: "You bitch's dog! What's your attitude? This is my attitude."
He seemed to have gone mad because he thought the people would not leave this time.
The woman listened to him coldly and sneered, "Well, you are amazing. We will get someone to get you out right away. Don't worry, you will have things to do later. How could we let you die so easily?"
As it spoke, it waved its hand, and four men came out of the car. They were strong, dark-faced men, over 1.9 meters tall and over 70 kilograms. They all had expressionless faces. They came out and slapped the billboard until it became soft. Then they raised their hands and threw the extremely heavy billboard away.
The middle-aged man was horrified and thought, "Oh no! If they beat me up, I will be turned into a pile of meat paste. Meat paste is not easy to recover from!"
He wanted to hide his head and run away right now, but he couldn't stand up. Both of his legs were injured, but one leg was seriously injured, while the other leg was slightly less injured. He could hold up the other leg, but it was impossible because it was too painful. Even if he wanted to practice crawling now, it was too late.
He could only secretly hope that these people would not beat him up for his previous nonsense.
Instead of beating him, these people got out a snow-white stretcher, put him on it, and lifted him into the car. The woman got into the car and took the responsibility of driving. She stepped on the accelerator and the car drove into darkness. Before leaving, the woman glanced at the little boy in the store. The boy very consciously closed the door and locked it, and only looked out through the glass with a calm and expressionless look.
He seemed to have anticipated this situation, and seemed to be indifferent to the situation no matter what it was, and didn't care much about what happened.
The middle-aged man thought he was safe in the car and started yelling, "My hands hurt! My legs hurt! I'm going to die. It's all your fault. How could you come so late? I want to complain to you! Don't think you can rest easy now."
I tell you, if you serve me well, I might think you are good people, but if not, you can expect to be sued! Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much!"
No one paid any attention to them.
It was getting darker and darker. The middle-aged man realized something was wrong. He was horrified and huddled up in a corner. He stared at the people around him and asked, "Who are you? You are definitely not from the hospital! I know where the hospital is. I won't be fooled by you. Let me out!"
As soon as the door opened, the man said, "Get out."
The middle-aged man looked at the road outside that was passing by so fast and started to scare again: "You told me to go out and I'll go out? Isn't that too embarrassing? I won't do it! Since you brought me here as a hospital, I must let you treat me well!"
The car door closed slowly.
A cold snort came from inside the car.
The middle-aged man was not as scared as before. He just closed his eyes and thought happily that they would definitely be able to reach the hospital soon.
There was a bang, and something on the roof of the car fell down, like a heavy sandbag, hitting the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man screamed, "It hurts!"
He then started to lose his temper: "What do you all do?"
When the middle-aged man was about to continue swearing, he suddenly paused, feeling scared, and looked around, but could see nothing.
The car door opened again. The middle-aged man struggled to stand up and looked out. He saw a bright red outside. The ground was black, the walls were black, and the elevator was also black, but the lights were red. So the whole world was red. It looked very depressing and cold. The middle-aged man didn't want to get off, but was grabbed by several hands and thrown out. He fell to the ground with a bang.
The middle-aged man wailed, "It hurts! What do you want to do? I'm going to sue you! I'm going to file a complaint! I'm going to kill you!"
There was no answer.
The car disappeared, and the people disappeared too.
He seemed to be the only one here.
He tried to raise his head to see where he was, but he could only see the elevator not far away, with a red scar-like floor number marked on it. The white letters were illuminated by the red light, also red, with a faint pink feel. It was clearly the -18th floor.
The middle-aged man's face suddenly fell.
He knew this place, the legendary negative eighteenth floor, was a very scary place. It was said that there were countless evil ghosts here, who wandered between the four directions of heaven and earth because they died with their eyes open. They would devour the living, tear apart the ghosts, and smash anything they saw. Nothing could survive well here, and even if someone got out, it would not be good anymore and would be rotten.
The middle-aged man began to cry and beg for mercy: "Don't kill me! I know I was wrong!"
After crying for a while without answering Sen Wan's words, he felt safe and started to show off his power: "Let me out quickly, otherwise, I will kill you! Who do you think you are? I will be afraid if you make something fake? That's not necessarily the case. I'm not a coward, what should I be afraid of? Hahaha! It's okay for you to deceive yourselves, but why do you want to deceive others?"
Still no answer.
The middle-aged man felt uneasy and stopped talking. It was very quiet around him. He looked around and finally saw the extremely angry ghosts who were woken up by him. They were colorful and their faces were blurry. They kept approaching and could not be driven away or made to disappear. They pounced on him like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food and cut the middle-aged man into pieces.
The middle-aged man shivered and comforted himself in his heart, it doesn't matter, if they kill me, I will die, and after I die, I will become a ghost, and I will become a ghost more ferocious than them. They can't kill me, and if I kill them, I will win, and I can get out, I can definitely get out!
In fact, he couldn't even fool himself.
Because he knew clearly that according to the legend, dying on the negative eighteenth floor would not mean true death, but living endlessly as a walking corpse, with the body being torn apart repeatedly and the soul enduring endless torment of pain and unable to escape. No matter what one became, one could not escape this hell and could not live without leaving these evil spirits. It was a vicious cycle.
Apart from that, if you die here, you will not turn into a ghost. Even if you turn into a ghost, it will only be the result of the intentional indulgence of evil spirits. In the end, there is only one possibility, that is, you will turn into the weakest little ghost, and continue to suffer the pain and torture when you are alive as a pastime for the evil spirits, providing them with amusement to kill time.
