Strange Story: Please Stop Telling

Chapter 155 The Old Man in the Refrigerator
"There are only ten words on the note."

"Songs are not sung with the eyes."

"Seeing this, I felt a warm feeling in my heart."

"At first, I thought this way of communicating with notes was a bit weird, but now, I think it's very romantic."

"That night, we talked for a long time by passing notes."

"Before I left there, I had decided to come and listen to Duan Xiaoou singing every night."

"When the night fell again, I hurriedly packed up my books, and my heart had already flown to Duan Xiaoou's door."

"It was hard to pack my things, and when I was about to leave, my classmate Liu Wenjing suddenly asked me to meet at a coffee shop outside the school!"

"To be honest, I was quite sudden."

"But she's my friend, and I'm too embarrassed to say no."

"In the coffee shop."

"Liu Wenjing is a little shy, and her cheeks are a little red."

"I saw her say: I've always wanted to ask you, but I'm too embarrassed to say it, that is——what do you think of me?"

"I'm no fool."

"When I heard her say that, I suddenly realized that she was going to confess to me!"

"But……"

"My heart is always with Duan Xiaoou."

"Thinking of this, I quickly changed the topic to Duan Xiaoou, frantically implying to her that my heart belongs only to Duan Xiaoou."

"However……"

"When I mentioned Duan Xiaoou, Liu Wenjing's face gradually turned pale."

"She looked at me in horror, and said hesitantly: Duan Xiaoou you are talking about, is that bar singer? Don't you know what happened to her?"

"That sentence just stunned me."

"I looked at her in surprise and asked: What's wrong with her?"

"Afterwards, Liu Wenjing told me something that shocked me for the rest of my life."

"That's right, Duan Xiaoou is dead."

"The night before I met her in the bar, an accident happened. The spotlight on the bar slipped and fell on Duan Xiaoou's head."

"When Duan Xiaoou fell, the last sound that came out of her mouth was her singing."

"A regional news site did a very brief report on the matter."

"It's so short that her name doesn't even appear on it, and there's no picture of her!"

"but……"

"The following two comments caught my attention."

"One of the comments is: Please stop commenting on this accident in a mocking tone. I am a neighbor of the news deceased's hometown. She is a very kind girl..."

"The second comment was also posted by the same person, but the tone changed dramatically: Don't talk about her anymore!! A strange thing happened: her body disappeared!! She has a grandma with dementia, They said they saw her body walking out by themselves in the middle of the night, but they haven't found it yet!"

"See these two comments."

"I took my phone and stumbled out of the coffee shop."

"The sky, it's drizzling."

"The cold rain, floating on my face, is very cold."

"My mind has become a mess."

"Could it be that... she is really dead?"

"All I saw was a dead man?"

"She asked me to listen to the music outside the door, because she was afraid that I would see that she was actually a dead body?"

"I thought about these problems painfully, and walked quickly into the night."

"My destination is Duan Xiaoou's house."

"I want to ask her if she is really dead."

"In addition to fear, I feel great sadness in my heart now."

"Even if she is dead, she is still a ghost who is willing to sing to me. She is still kind!!"

"When I came to Duan Xiaoou's house, I took out a pen and paper and wrote a paragraph: Tell me, is that you, the girl who died unexpectedly in the bar?"

"The moment I was about to stuff the note into the crack of the door, I suddenly became frightened."

"I could hear her singing because she didn't want me to know she was dead."

"If she is really dead, will she disappear from my life when I know the truth?"

"Thinking of this, I began to hesitate."

"In the end, I put the note back in the backpack."

"I knocked."

"Like last time, the singing came very quickly, but the situation is a little different."

"I heard that her voice became a little dry and old, and it was no longer as round as before."

"Also, the sound of her playing the guitar becomes messy from time to time."

"After the singing, we still used notes to talk: Am I in a bad state today?"

"I replied: Your singing voice is still very beautiful."

"Duan Xiaoou: Don't lie to me, I feel it myself, and I made a lot of mistakes."

"During the communication, I never revealed the fact that she was dead."

"Because I know very well in my heart that we will never be together."

"But for me, this kind of communication inside and outside the door is enough."

"For this reason, I have even made up my mind to come and accompany her every night before she disappears!"

"But what I've always wondered about is..."

"Why is there a problem with her performance?"

"But where is the problem? I have never been able to figure it out."

"In the next few days."

"Her condition is getting worse, her voice is getting dry, and her playing is getting messier."

"Until this night."

"On the note she passed, there was a drop of dark red liquid inexplicably!"

"I sniffed lightly."

"There's a rancid smell on that liquid!"

"Cold sweat instantly covered my whole body!"

"My body began to tremble slightly."

"The whole person is as if his hair has been blown up, there is no difference."

"I don't even know how I got back to my dorm."

"After I came back, I sat at the desk for the first time, opened the notebook, and wrote on it with trembling hands: I have never understood the reason why Duan Xiaoou had problems playing and singing. Tonight, she accidentally dropped a drop of liquid on the paper. , the smell of liquid, the smell of rotting corpses. I understand, the person who commented under the news is not wrong at all.

Her body was indeed missing, and it was just behind that door!

It turned out that the one who kept singing for me was her corpse!
And now, her body has begun to rot!
Her throat and fingers are also rotten, so her playing and singing..."

"Closing the notebook, I burst into tears."

"Actually, I don't have many requests. I just hope that this kind of meeting between inside and outside the door, separated by yin and yang, can continue forever."

"But I overlooked an important fact - corpses will always rot!"

"When Duan Xiaoou's body rots to a certain extent and she can no longer sing beautiful songs, she will no longer stay in my life!"

"I even know that I will lose her completely soon!"

"Sorrow, overflowing my heart."

"Soon, I made another bold decision - before Duan Xiaoou disappeared completely, I must see her one last time! No matter how rotten her body is!"

"With such a mood, I went outside her house again the next night."

"As I expected, her voice is even hoarse."

"After listening to her singing, I just stuffed in a note: I want to see you tonight."

"Duan Xiaoou: No!! Didn't we agree? You can only stay outside the door."

"I replied: I must see you!!"

"This time, Duan Xiaoou's note never appeared again."

"However, I refused to let go and frantically stuffed notes, each with the same sentence: I must see you!"

"When the crack in the door was blocked by a note and I couldn't get it in anymore, I finally couldn't control myself and started banging on the door vigorously."

"Of course I know that this is futile. It is absolutely impossible for Duan Xiaoou, whose body is already rotten, to open the door."

"However……"

"Things turned around soon."

"I just knocked on the door a few times."

"I only heard a squeak, and the door opened!!"

"My heart tightened, but I didn't care much, so I hurriedly looked inside."

"Then, I was completely stunned..."

"The person who opened the door was an old man with white hair and beard. There was no Duan Xiaoou in the room at all!"

"The old man looked at me suspiciously for a while, then suddenly smiled, pointed at his ears and mouth, and shook his head slightly."

"It dawned on me that he was a deaf-mute."

"This is obviously not where Duan Xiaoou lives."

"The owner here is this old man!"

"But the problem is..."

"The old man lives here, why would Duan Xiaoou's body be allowed to sing here?"

"I figured it out later."

"The old man is a deaf-mute person. He can't hear Duan Xiaoou singing. Maybe that's why Duan Xiaoou chose this place?"

"Of course it is impossible for the old man to have seen Duan Xiaoou, after all, she is a corpse now."

"But the problem is..."

"It's impossible for her to disappear out of thin air?"

"Then there is only one possibility..."

"Duan Xiaoou, he must be hiding!"

"I have long planned to see Duan Xiaoou for the last time. If I can't find her today, I have a hunch that she will disappear completely."

"Thinking of this, I hurriedly wrote a sentence on the paper: Can I go in and have a look?"

"The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at the note, nodded, took my pen, and wrote: You are the one who wants to buy my old refrigerator? Come in, I will show you the refrigerator."

"It seems..."

"He's been waiting for someone to buy his fridge."

"It just happened to open the door and saw me, which is a coincidence."

"I followed behind the old man, and my eyes kept scanning the room."

"The room is small, but there are many places to hide."

"Where is Duan Xiaoou hiding?"

"At this moment, I noticed the old man's movement - he reached out to pull the door of the refrigerator, wanting to let me see the inside of the refrigerator, but no matter how hard he pulled, the door just couldn't be opened."

"My eyes lit up immediately, and I hurriedly wrote: Don't read it, I want it, how much is it?"

"The old man didn't open the refrigerator door. He was a little embarrassed at first, but when he saw that I decided to buy it, he nodded with a smile on his face."

"I don't need an old refrigerator. The reason why I bought it is because Duan Xiaoou is probably hiding in this old refrigerator."

"The dust through and up showed that the old man hadn't used it for a long time and it was definitely an ideal hiding place."

"The old man wrote: Find someone to pick it up yourself. I won't lock the door. Don't disturb me in the bedroom."

"Things went unexpectedly smoothly."

"I even called a classmate and waited for him downstairs. When the two of us returned to the old man's room together, his bedroom door was closed and he seemed to be asleep."

"I didn't choose to disturb him. I moved the old refrigerator down with my classmates."

"On the way, my classmate asked strangely: Why is this thing so heavy? It seems to be pretending to be a person."

"When I heard this, I was very excited in my heart. After a haha, I told him the destination."

"The classmate is even more strange: that abandoned hut outside the school? What are you doing here? Buy such a junk, put it there, what are you planning?"

"I didn't answer him."

"After coming to the hut, the students went back."

"I turned on the flashlight of my mobile phone, faced the refrigerator, and said softly: I know you are inside, and I know you are dead, but I only have one request now, that is to see you for the last time, and open the refrigerator door, okay ?"

"After finishing speaking, I will go to open the refrigerator door."

"But……"

"It doesn't move at all!"

"I hesitated for a moment and knocked lightly on the refrigerator door."

"suddenly……"

"In the refrigerator, Duan Xiaoou's singing came!"

"I was surprised and happy, and went to pull the refrigerator door again."

"This time, with just a slight pull, the refrigerator door opened."

"My breathing started to become short."

"However……"

"When I saw the person in the refrigerator, I opened my mouth wide in surprise and took two steps back. Cold sweat instantly covered my forehead."

"in the fridge."

"A thin figure crouched."

"He was singing coyly, with a weird smile on his face, and a pair of eyes staring straight at me."

"The person inside is not Duan Xiaoou, but the deaf-mute old man!!"

"His lips are moving slowly."

"Duan Xiaoou's singing voice floated out of his mouth, it sounds extremely weird."

"I yelled in surprise: Why is it you!!"

"The old man's singing stopped abruptly..."

"Then, he walked out of the refrigerator slowly, and said with a strange smile: Although I can't hear what you are saying, I know the doubts in your heart. In the eyes of others, I am a deaf-mute, but in fact, I am not dumb. , the reason why I pretend to be dumb is because my voice is very strange!!

You should have heard it! "

"There's no need for him to say it, I've already heard it."

"As an old man, he shouldn't be making a girl's voice at all, let alone Duan Xiaoou's voice! But... what's going on?"
