Since met you

Chapter 24: Those Midnight Legends in the City (1)
When a group of people get together to chat, there are only a few things: one is gossip, celebrity gossip that I don’t know where to hear, some little-known little secrets of the boss, colleagues, friends and classmates around me; Who was cheated on, who fell in love with which girl, who was chased back recently, and so on.But talking about these things often makes people happy, and people who listen to them are also very excited. It is a very exhausting thing, and it is very inappropriate at midnight when everyone's soul seems to be so tired that it is about to float.

At midnight, of course, is the best time to talk about ghost stories.At three o'clock in the middle of the night, all ghosts walk in the night, and everyone tells some weird stories in hoarse and deep voices. This is the most suitable theme for midnight.

Li Ru is obviously the organizer of each event. He turned off the lights in the hall, then let everyone sit on the floor, and lit a candle in the middle: "It's still the old rule, let's talk until the candle goes out."

"What do you mean?" Ye Shuying sniffed, "Didn't you say you want to chat until dawn?"

Xia Yu put the coat she brought over her body: "It seems that today is a special theme."

"What special theme?" Ye Shuying glanced at Xia Yu gratefully, her heart warmed a little, but her next sentence immediately made her heart cold again.

"It's a ghost story session. After chatting for two hours, the candle goes out. Or the candle suddenly goes out, it's a 'good friend' telling us: today, let's stop here." Li Ru deliberately lowered his voice, especially the last sentence , To put it ghastly and terrifying.

Ye Shuying shuddered, and Xia Yu smiled: "If you are afraid of listening, forget it."

"No!" Ye Shuying grabbed Xia Yu's arm, "I really want to hear it! Although I am really scared, I really want to hear it."

Xia Yu stroked her forehead: "Then you should hold it lightly. I haven't started talking yet. I think my arm is about to break."

"Oh oh oh." Ye Shuying let go, but still didn't dare to take it away.

"Okay." Li Ru cleared his throat, "Let me talk first. Didn't I do a science and education program before? I remember one night when I worked until two or three o'clock in the morning, I took a photo of myself and posted it I posted on Weibo, saying: I’m really tired after working so late again. But after a while, many people responded to my Weibo. I thought, don’t you all sleep at night? But when I opened the comments, they all said..."

"Hey, why is there a child's face printed on the computer screen behind you?"

"Ah!" Ye Shuying exclaimed, and the candle light flickered.

"Ah!" Xia Yu screamed, holding her arm.

"Don't cooperate like this." Li Ru felt dissatisfied that the atmosphere was destroyed by the two people, and lowered his voice again, trying to bring the atmosphere back, "Then I clicked on the big picture, and there was really a child's face printed on the screen , although it is not very clear, but the general outline is correct, it is a child."

Everyone gasped.

"Later, in the early hours of the morning, a female choreographer was afraid of going to the toilet alone, so she asked me to accompany her, and I waited for her at the door of the toilet. Then while I was waiting, I heard a man and a woman two The sound of children walking past me laughing and playing. They really walked close to me, making me break out in a cold sweat." Li Ru also took a deep breath.

After everyone was silent for a while, a boy in a red checked shirt spoke up: "Then let me tell you about mine too. I used to have a colleague who had yin and yang eyes and could see many things we couldn't see. Remember Once when we were editing a film in the computer room, she came into the computer room and found a girl with fluttering hair standing behind me, but when she turned her head, the girl disappeared. She asked me: Hey, is your girlfriend today Come to edit the film with you. I said: Don’t make trouble, where did I get a girlfriend? She asked if a friend came to see you today? I said that I was the only one in the computer room from the beginning to the end today, what’s the matter? She said that you have not been going well recently?

"I was right. I was doing a celebrity talk show at that time. All the guests I was in charge of recording, either their grandma passed away or their grandfather was sick and couldn't be there. Finally, there was one who was safe and sound and insisted on coming to participate in the recording. , and there was a car accident on the road! The leader asked me to be only in charge of post-editing for the time being, but before I finished editing the film, the star took drugs and entered it!"

Having said that, everyone looked at a boy.Ye Shuying remembered that it was the boy who met in the morning and said that he had changed the film for the sixth time and was about to resign.The boy looked nervous: "Then, how did you...crack it?"

"She asked me to go to the temple to worship, and I went. It turned out that after that, it was really much better. Another time was even more terrible. One of our colleagues said that they recently moved to a new house and rented a good location at a very cheap price. The location. But it didn’t take long to say that they were always woken up by the sound of motorcycles at night. They thought it was strange, why there was the sound of motorcycles even though the house was on the [-]th floor and not facing the street. My colleague went to see it Yes, I went to the balcony to have a look..."

"A woman in red is standing there!"

"Ah!" Ye Shuying grabbed Xia Yu's arm.

"Ah!" Xia Yu naturally felt that her arm was about to break.

"After asking their neighbors, they found out that the former tenants were a couple. Later, when they were riding a motorcycle on the road, there was a car accident, and neither of them survived." After the boy finished his story, the candle was still not extinguished. Intend.

"Let me come." Another boy with a beard said, "This time the story I'm telling has nothing to do with our industry. It's a relative's house in my hometown. My relative bought a new house and lived in it happily. He went in, but there was always the sound of throwing plates and throwing things in the room next door. He felt very unlucky, and met a couple with an unfortunate marriage. But who can stand the quarrel every day, he couldn’t help it one day I went to knock on the door, but no one answered him after knocking for a long time. He called the property management and asked the property management to help communicate, but the property management told him the next day...

"The neighbor next door didn't sell at all. My relatives panicked. After asking around, they found out that there used to be a cemetery there. When the house was first built, it was not flat. How much was the house built on the first night?" , It collapsed as soon as it got up the next day. In the end, it is said that fireworks and firecrackers were set off, and a lot of paper money was burned before it was slowly covered. Later, people in their community invited some Taoist monks to do rituals for a few days. It’s now peaceful. I don’t believe it, I think my relatives have been cheated. But one day when I was looking for friends in an office building next door to their community, I went to see their community, and I was shocked.”

"The buildings in their community are arranged very irregularly, but from the top to the bottom, it is clearly a Buddhist swastika!"

"Stop it!" Xia Yu patted Ye Shuying on the shoulder before she could react, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the story will be over soon."

The story has been told four times, and the candle is half burnt. At this time, everyone looked at Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, you have the best eloquence, why don't you tell me one too."

"I'm good at eloquence, but I also have a strong yang energy. I haven't encountered any ghosts, but I can tell you a story about my camera friend." Xia Yu cleared her throat, "I remember one time when we went on a business trip together. They were filming a commercial, and the two cameras slept in a twin room next door. One afternoon, the two of them were too tired after filming and took a nap there. As a result, one of the cameras woke up in the middle and turned over to see..."

"A woman is lying on top of another camera."

Suddenly, the candle went out at this moment.

"Ah!" Ye Shuying hugged Xia Yu, "You are the scariest."

Xia Yu couldn't help laughing, and patted Ye Shuying on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a story. And my camera friend is safe and sound in the end, he is a good ghost, a good ghost."

Li Ru turned on the light at this time, so everyone's gazes were all over.I saw Ye Shuying hugging Xia Yu vigorously, as if she would not let go of her when she was beaten to death.Xia Yu patted her shoulder tenderly, and kept repeating: "It's okay, it's okay."

"It's gone. Let's go to work." So a group of people scattered like birds and beasts with expressions of envy and resentment.

After Ye Shuying was afraid for a while, she suddenly found herself hugging Xia Yu tightly, blushing, and hastily let go.In order to ease the embarrassment, Xia Yu patted her on the head: "You are so timid, but you insist on listening. Let's go, go back to work."

"Xia Yu, do you think these stories are true? Are there really ghosts in the world?" Ye Shuying asked him in a low voice.

"I don't know. Anyway, I haven't encountered it. Ghosts are like love. Many people have heard of them, but few have seen them." Xia Yu smiled, "You didn't realize that the stories you just told were all friends. , colleagues or relatives, rarely have they experienced it themselves. If it is not something that you have personally experienced, just listen to it as a story, not as it is true.”

"But isn't that Li Ru talking about his own business?"

"Li Ru? Then you go ask him, is that Weibo still there? He must have said it was deleted. You asked him about the photo? He must have said it was deleted too. Other people's stories are definitely not made up, but Li Ru This must be a nonsense. He is just setting up the atmosphere and making a good opening statement."

"You are the only one who is smart." Li Ru knocked on the wall and shouted from the next door, "If you don't expose it, you will die?"

"What about the others?"

"Ye Shuying, do you sometimes feel that life is a bit boring? There are no superheroes, no gods and ghosts, only ordinary life, parents have short stories, and work and study?"

"Yes. It can be boring sometimes."

"So these stories are needed at this time. They are not movies, not novels, they happen around us. And even if their credibility is not high, no one will definitely find out. Because they are those who belong to The legend of the night in this city."

"These legends let us feel that this world is still novel, interesting, and peculiar." Xia Yu said with a smile to Ye Shuying, "Do you understand?"

"I understand a little bit." Ye Shuying nodded with a vague understanding.

After that, Xia Yu continued to read the material, and Ye Shuying was lying on the folding bed wrapped in Xia Yu's coat.She still felt a little scared in her heart, so she could only look sideways at Xia Yu's back, which made her feel more at ease. She just watched and fell asleep, and when she woke up again, it was already eight o'clock in the morning , Xia Yu was still staring at the screen motionless.
