Today's breakfast is pan-fried and shrimp dumplings, as well as semi-thick porridge with lean meat.This meal was a bit extravagant. If I paid for it myself, I would definitely have to cry for a while before calming down afterwards.

After experiencing a series of worse things, eating food cooked by strangers is not scary, but not having money is the most scary thing in the world.It's not poisonous anyway, as long as you won't die if you eat it.

Picking up a crystal clear shrimp dumpling, he stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

After breakfast, Santa Karina turned on the computer and called up the surveillance screen.

On the first day, she realized that something was wrong at home. She went to the nearest police station after class that day and called the police. Since there was no conclusive evidence, the police did not want to take any action and asked her to go home first and contact her again if anything unusual happened later.

The next day, she had no choice but to buy surveillance equipment and install it herself. She hid the pinhole camera in a particularly hidden place so that she could have an unobstructed view of every corner of the house.

The perverted intruder's behavior was very extreme, as shown in the fact that some of the personal belongings used personally showed signs of being used, such as face towels, bath towels, toothbrushes and mouthwash cups for brushing teeth, and slippers.

There were water stains on the bathroom floor and bathtub for no apparent reason, and the air was filled with a light aroma, as if a young woman had taken a bath in her own home.

A young woman...it's a pity that she is a pervert.

"I will definitely catch you today."

Santa Karina stared at a fake Mona Lisa painting on the wall. Hidden in the closet behind the painting was her newly purchased camera, which could record everything that happened in the bedroom.

Since that person left no evidence, then figure it out yourself.She didn't believe that the other party could continue to be unscrupulous, hide in the shadows, continue to get carried away, and enjoy the suffering of others.

As the video files were clicked one by one, Santa Karina's expression became increasingly ugly.

No one appeared on the surveillance camera, and the door and window were tightly sealed, with no sign of being forcibly opened.From beginning to end, the main entrance remained closed.

The kitchen knives in the kitchen automatically peel and chop vegetables, the cooking utensils light up, and neatly sliced ​​ingredients fly into the pot as if controlled by magic, followed by spatulas and seasoning bottles.

One after another, excellent-looking dishes were put on the table, and it seemed like an invisible person was controlling everything.

The situation in other rooms is the same as in the kitchen. Things move on their own, and they finish the housework that should be done by themselves. It's amazing.The thing itself was pleasant, but the thought of no one else living in the house frightened Santa Karina.

"Damn it."

Isn't this a legendary supernatural event?

Recently, I have seen many similar posts on the Tianying City forum. Netizens claimed that they encountered ghosts and ate the milk powder bought for their children at home without washing the cups.

Or, a social animal who lives alone gets up during the day and finds that there are traces of someone lying on the spot next to him. At midnight, the sound of frequent pacing and a woman's chuckle comes from the door.

As someone who has received the memory of a youth in the 21st century, Santa Karina is an atheist and never believes in the strange power and chaotic gods in this strange world in the book. When these netizens wanted to brag and gain attention, they casually posted the Crossed.

Now that I think about it, maybe it's true.There are really supernatural events in the world, otherwise how can we explain the strange events that happen at home?

"No wonder, I've been feeling down and out of energy these past few days. I'm afraid I might have been sucked in by a female ghost."

After leaving the computer and walking to the dressing mirror, Santa Karina stared intently at the image reflected in the mirror.

She no longer has a white-haired Western face, but an Eastern face with long straight black hair. She is a young female college student with a height of 165cm. Her complexion is pale, and she has a unique sense of morbidity and vulnerability. She is also relatively thin, but has a career line. Not small, between C and D, small but plump.

His gray-blue pupils always showed laziness and world-weariness, lacking some of the unique vitality and passion of his peers.

Her looks are not bad, and her black-framed glasses cannot hide her overflowing good looks. Plus, she has a temperament that makes people feel distant. She usually stays alone in school and is taciturn, which has rubbed quite a few people's XP. , every once in a while, someone would push a love letter into her hand.

It is usually handed over by other people and then run away.It takes a lot of courage to deliver in person, and a thin-skinned person simply cannot do it.

Love letters written by boys will never be read and returned in the same way. Love letters written by girls politely refuse after reading them, saying that they "want to focus on their studies and have no plans to be single for the time being."

Focusing on studies is one aspect, and I have to work part-time in my spare time after class to earn living expenses.Falling in love is equal to spending extra money. There is not enough money to spend in the first place, and the student loan has not been paid off. Having a girlfriend will only make the already poor life worse.

After much deliberation, it is better to be single.

The not-so-good single life is now broken by supernatural events.After 11.45 minutes of ideological struggle, Santa Karina decided to take a look at the famous Feng Shui shop in Tianying Street, and reluctantly bought something to ward off evil spirits.

It’s too expensive and unnecessary to ask everyone to do it. Tianying’s consumption level is high and it is the capital of Xinghai Province. A casual ritual costs more than 3000 yuan, which translates into 1500 bags of instant noodles.

"Just buy some talisman paper and stick it on it, and then bring back a Shiva statue... I wonder if the Indian god can cure the ghosts of Kyushu."

A small statue of Shiva only costs 100 yuan in a store that sells idols, and it’s even cheaper to buy it on a certain online store.But the delivery of a certain product is too slow. After placing the order, you have to wait three or four days for the goods to arrive. I can't wait that long.

After making up her mind, Santa Karina took her mobile phone, keys and an old backpack and went out. When she went out, she felt a chill behind her, as if someone was hiding in a corner and watching her.

She locked the door, twisted it a few more times, and left after hearing three clear "clicks" from the lock cylinder.

The weather is so hot that roadside drink shops have become summer resorts.The outdoor temperature is as high as 36 degrees, which really makes people want to go in and buy something to cool down.

There is a bus stop right in front of the beverage shop. It is more comfortable to sit inside and wait for the bus than to stand outside.The speakers tirelessly play the ultimate brainwashing lyrics in an attempt to attract more customers into the store.

"You love me, I love you, Mixue Bingcheng is sweet..."

A thin glass door isolates the hot summer area from the outside.Santa Karina glanced at the menu and selected her favorite among the many fancy drinks.

"A glass of lemonade with lots of ice."

"Four dollars."

Scan the QR code to pay, and stand by the air conditioner to take the number. It’s so skillful that it makes you feel bad.

She is reluctant to turn on the air conditioner at home. Doing so will increase her electricity bill by several hundred yuan a month.Spending four yuan to get the pleasure of air conditioning is very cost-effective.

Next, we took a bus that cost [-] yuan, which was equivalent to resting in a moving summer palace. It was so refreshing (bushi).

With Santa Karina's ardent expectation, bus No. 191 arrived as scheduled, and the time was exactly as shown in the bus software.She had already set her sights on the best position and stood at the front of the crowd. She took advantage of the group's eagerness to occupy the seats and rushed up when the driver opened the door, allowing herself to be squeezed into the car by the group.

It doesn’t take any effort, it takes no effort at all.

Santa Karina calls this move "taking advantage of the situation". Every time she gets on the bus, she brings her own buff, and there are girls all around, so she doesn't have to think about how embarrassing it is to be squeezed into the bus. She only cares about the results.

She occupied the window seat in the back and looked outside through the gap in the curtains.The weather was sunny, and the scorching sunshine made the asphalt road emit a pungent smell.

The bustling streets are full of people, and the vicinity of the university town is full of college students in their prime who go shopping on weekends.Those people wore carefree smiles on their faces and squandered the living expenses and pocket money given by their families in various shops.

Damn it, these people’s smiles are too dazzling.

Silently closing the curtains, Santa Karina continued to browse the forum posts that she once thought were sensational.

Suddenly, I felt a chill on the back of my neck, and something wet and cold was licking my skin.

He took a deep breath and turned his head hard. Behind him was a gray metal inner shell of the bus. How could there be any weirdo exhaling?

If you are in the front rows, you can see people when you turn around. The person blowing air must be a naughty child, at most a little angry.Now there are not even a single figure, but the feeling of being blown away is extremely real.

The cold gas clearly licked the most sensitive area on the back of the neck, leaving a strong feeling of discomfort.

Is it an illusion?

In the past few days, I have been very nervous. Ever since my home was invaded by an invisible man, I have started to have mental problems.She thought about the possibility that the invisible man's invasion was an illusion, doing the housework well was also an illusion, and the several breakfasts were made by sleepwalking.

The scope of mental illness is very broad, and severe hallucinations can also be classified as mental illness.Santa Karina has watched some TV series and movies, starting from the perspective of the female protagonist, telling the impact of a mental illness called "dissociation" on life.

People with dissociation usually see people and things that do not exist in reality, or they construct a virtual world and immerse themselves in it.

There are many reasons for the onset of the disease, which are related to mental stress and life stress.

Mental illness requires medical attention as early as possible, the sooner the better, otherwise the condition will become more serious over time.But people who have no money don't care. All hallucinations are due to excessive fatigue, and they will be fine after a sleep.

She touched the back of her neck with her hand, pulled her hair over to block it, and continued to browse the latest supernatural posts on the forum.The content of the posts is diverse and all kinds, which are very suitable for killing time on long-distance trains.

90% of the posts there are fabricated, in order to attract attention and gain clicks. Some of them were confirmed by other netizens to be self-directed and self-acted false events, which are logically untenable.

The fake supernatural events are not as good as the love romances posted by bloggers in the relationship section, although the posts here are also fake. There are often some female sea kings showing off how many girls they have fucked, making them willing to spend money for them.

"Playing on forums is really a waste of time."

Having said that, I was still very honest and continued to read until the bus announced "Hello passengers, the terminal is Huangquan South Road Station. We have arrived. Passengers who need to get off, please prepare to get off in advance."

Adding Huangquan to the terminal sounds unlucky no matter how you sound.

Opposite the Feng Shui Street is the Funeral Street, and the two areas face each other from afar.Normally, business on both streets is quite deserted. After all, who would come to buy these things?

Unfortunately, today the road leading directly to Fengshui Street was surrounded by blue iron sheets specially designed for construction. It was blocked by water. There was also a sign saying "Construction ahead, please detour."

Citizens riding scooters and motorcycles cursed and turned around. Santa Karina vaguely remembered that several water pipes exploded inexplicably a few days ago. After that, water with a strange color and smell flowed out, causing considerable trouble to the surrounding area.

Repairing water pipes is a big project, and the sound of the construction team's banging came from behind the blue iron sheet.

The key thoroughfare was blocked, and Santa Carolina had to change direction and pass through the Via Funerosa.

She didn't particularly want to pass by the Funeral Street. When she saw those dead things that smelled of decadence, she would always think of the scene when she came here for the first time in her life.

It was just the first day of junior high school that year, and it happened to be a cloudy day. With a thunderous explosion, sharp purple and gold threads tore the sky into pieces, the gray clouds were cut into scattered pieces, and the sultry wind lingered in the lanes. , the dim funeral supplies store was filled with the smell of burning incense and paper products.

Big raindrops poured down from the gaps in the clouds. Santa Karina stood in front of the store like a sculpture for a long time, with no expression on her face, letting the downpour hit her roughly.

The family friend of the body's parents was discussing the details of the funeral with the owner of the funeral supplies store. There was a dark coffin near the door, shaped like a rectangular box.

These days, fewer and fewer people choose to be buried in the ground. They are sent to funeral parlors to have their ashes burned, stuffed into urns, and finally taken to a cemetery for burial.Two living people were burned until only a small box was left. She could not accept it under any circumstances.

Six years later, Santa Karina returned to her old place, feeling as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Business on Funeral Street seems to have improved recently.At the entrance of almost every store, there are ashen-faced, haggard and tired customers. Their expressions may be tired, numb, or sluggish. They are selecting among the shelves stacked with funeral supplies.

I heard that there was a hospital nearby, and some people were unlucky enough not to be saved. Their families were too lazy to bother, so they just walked a few minutes here to find a shop to help with funeral arrangements.

After following the navigation through the deep alleys, it took almost half an hour to arrive at Feng Shui Street.

The atmosphere of Feng Shui Street is more relaxed than that of Funeral Street, and it even has a more mystical atmosphere.Looking around, a whole row of shops are decorated in a retro style with dark tones, making them look mysterious and awe-inspiring from the outside.

This street specializes in products that seek good luck and avoid evil. It sells various magical artifacts and statues with blessing meanings. From ancient times to the present, from the East to the West, they have appeared in books, including the old rulers. gods.

Taking a deep breath of the hot air, Santa Karina opened her parasol and watched as she walked.

She would rarely go into stores with gorgeous decorations and large scales. People often complained about the exorbitant prices charged by these stores on omnipotent forums, seizing on the weakness of timid and fearful customers, and trying their best to trick them into tricking them into willingly buying them. Pile stuff and go home.

Passing by a store where she bought hand-painted charms, she put away her parasol and went into the store to ask about the price.Spells are generally sold in packages, ranging from a dozen to dozens of dollars.

You can also buy charms online, but it may take too long to arrive.

"Boss, how much does a pack of ghost exorcism charms cost?"

The pot-bellied middle-aged man behind the counter didn't even raise his head, and kept fiddling with the banknotes in his hands with a pair of plump hands, the kind used by people in the world.It's unlucky to do business with dead people, but you can't help but earn more.

Not long ago, the city's funeral parlor participated in a job fair held by the school to provide a job opportunity to prospective graduates who didn't want to work hard but wanted a high salary. There were actually a few who were not afraid to apply.

Santa Karina is not brave enough and will never consider pursuing employment in this field after graduation.If there weren't some problems at home, she would definitely stay away from anything related to death.

The boss answered her in a lazy voice and kept counting the money in his hand.

"The charms have been selling very well recently. They must be a little more expensive than before, two hundred."

"Two hundred...Is this thing of yours made of gold?"

It costs only a few tens of yuan. I can buy yellow paper for a few yuan and get free shipping for [-] sheets. Ink and brushes are not worth a few bucks. The cost of a set is no more than [-] yuan.

If you sell it to customers ten times more, the price will indeed be a little bit higher than [-] million yuan.

"Look where they can sell it so cheaply now? Other stores also sell it at this price, so I asked you if you want it."

"No."

After leaving the black shop, Santa Karina asked several more. They all started at [-] yuan. The first black shop was really the cheapest. The boss did not deceive her.

It is impossible to buy it. If you don’t buy it, you will regret it for a while. If you buy it, you will regret it for a lifetime.

"Forget it, go buy a Shiva statue and go back."

The money in my pocket is getting less and less, and my part-time job will not pay my salary for another week. I don’t dare to spend the remaining few thousand yuan casually. I want to save up and go to Southeast Asia for a short trip during the summer vacation to relax.

In the following time, Santa Karina moved between various stores.The old lady who lives downstairs believes in Hinduism and enshrines a statue of Shiva in her home.

Not only was her deceased husband an Indian who was very devout to Hinduism, but there had been a burglary at her home. At the critical moment, the Shiva statue fell from the shelf, knocking the culprit unconscious, leaving her and her grandchildren dead. After escaping death, the whole family respected Shiva very much and placed a statue of the god in every room.

The story is a true story, and there may be a bit of superstition in it, but Santa Karina believed it anyway.Shiva is regarded as the highest god in the universe by the Indian Shiva sect, and is the most widely worshiped among the lower class people in India. It is impossible for him to be useless at all.

The old lady downstairs was quite nice to her. Although she didn't interact with her very much, she would bring her some food during the New Year and holidays.Perhaps it was this good feeling that prompted her to choose the same protective object as the other person.

After searching for a long time, I finally bought a solid copper Shiva statue in a corner shop and reluctantly paid 120 yuan.The bronze statue is taller than the ordinary figures, more than 30 centimeters, and is very heavy in the hand.

The cold and solid bronze statue makes you feel safe just by looking at it.

On the way back, Santa Karina met a strange-looking old man.He was out of tune with the people on this street. He set up a stall under the shade of a tree, selling paper ingots, villas and cars.

The gray gown and the dirty black melon-pipe hat on the head are very contemporary, as if they are 100 years apart from the well-dressed passers-by.

The old man's skin was dry and wrinkled, like rough tree bark, and his eyes were very cloudy. There was no pupil in the left eye, only the whites of the eyes. Looking at him made me feel a little nervous.

Santa Karina had no intention of crossing paths with him and walked past holding the newly purchased Shiva statue.The old man who had been looking down at the Feng Shui book suddenly closed the book and made a hoarse voice.

The noise of metal rubbing against sandpaper is probably better than this voice.

"Girl, I saw your hall turned black. There must be something dirty on your body."

"..."

There were many examples of people pretending to be magicians and cheating everywhere. She had not yet reached such a state of insanity. She quickened her steps and was about to leave, when the other party's words came from behind her again.

"Here are some charms. I'll sell them to you for a total of 30 yuan in exchange for some cigarette money. Tianying is not stable recently. Not to mention Tianying, the whole Xinghai Province is in turmoil. The charms will only become more and more expensive in the future. "
