what the hell is

Who is this person? I don't know.Whether it's a man or a woman, I don't know.There is a blurry shadow on the wall, which looks a bit like a black-and-white portrait of a person seen from a surveillance video with extremely poor resolution.

This person is suspended in the air, his whole body is black, only his face is white.The facial features on the white face are blurred, only two dark eye holes, and a black snake-like mouth in a triangular shape can be seen.

Wang Chen's first impression was not fear, but horror. He thought he was hallucinating or the special light and shadow effect caused by the interlacing of flashlights in the dark corridor.When he was about to look away, he found that the shadow was moving, and its body was getting bigger and bigger. There was a very strange visual effect - the wall was like a window, and the figure was getting closer and closer from a far away place. , trying to get off the wall.

What's more, according to Wang Chen's description, although the facial features of the figure on the wall were unclear, he could feel that figure's shrill smile, and its loose black hair dancing wildly.

Wang Chen said with certainty that if the figure on the wall had a gender, it must be a woman.

He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, his whole body was stiff, as if he was being haunted by something, and only he and the ghostly figure with teeth and claws were left in the whole world.At the moment when the ghost shadow filled the wall and seemed to break through the wall, it suddenly changed direction, followed the wall all the way up, and disappeared in the direction of the roof.

The whole process is complicated to say, but in fact, in just two or three seconds, Wang Chen seemed to have experienced hell-like torture, and his head was sweating profusely.This kid is very cool, with long bangs, which are stuck to his forehead at this time, in a lock, and he looks very pitiful.

Hearing Wang Chen's description, Li Yang and I just let it go, but Qin Dan didn't have much fear, but frowned and thought.Tongsuo was the most cowardly, kept licking his lips, leaned close to us, and flicked his flashlight on the stairs leading to the roof indiscriminately.

After a while, Li Yang said: "Maybe this is some kind of blindfold, to scare us back, as a warning."

I thought about it, and said to Wang Chen, "Why don't you go back, this place is really not suitable for you, let's do what we can, no one will laugh at you."

Wang Chen nodded dejectedly, finally knowing how much he weighed.He hesitated: "I, I, Lao Liu, come with me."

I wanted to laugh, he was visibly scared.All right, whoever asked me to bring it, I will be responsible for his safety no matter what the situation is.

I said to Li Yang and the three of them: "Don't move, I'll send him to the elevator and come back."

Li Yang said: "Don't worry, if you don't come, we won't go."

I took Wang Chen down and started to walk down. The stairs below were only three meters long, so I walked there in a few minutes.I couldn't help complaining to him, it's not that you don't want to do porcelain work, but you still want to hang out with us, just as I was talking, I suddenly stopped.

Wang Chen stopped behind me and asked what was wrong.

I turned my head, and he was frightened by my ferocious expression: "Old Liu, don't scare me, it's not such a joke. What did you see?"

My heart beat faster and I said to him: "Quick, quick, go back."

The two of us ran back and forth, and Wang Chen almost climbed all the way back to the landing.Li Yang and the others were standing and talking, seeing that we were back, they hurriedly asked what was going on.

Out of breath, I pointed down and said, "We... can't go back."

"What happened?" Li Yang's eyes widened.

I really couldn't calm down and describe what happened, so I forced myself to calm down and told them slowly.

Just now, I went down the stairs with Wang Chen, and I walked in front.Light flickered in the darkness, reflecting the scene below the stairs.

It was a space of about a hundred square meters, full of sundries, and two thick white iron doors were very conspicuous, with locks hanging on them, and they were tightly buckled.Written in black ink on the door: The roof is dangerous.

At that time, my heart was beating so fast that I almost didn't pull my trouser pockets. Yes, there should be a deep corridor in the doorway directly under the stairs, and that was the only way for us to leave.Now it has turned into a roof top floor!

The roof should have been in the direction above the stairs.What's going on? !Going down, actually went around in a circle and came down from above.Is this a ghost hitting a wall?

Li Yang pondered thoughtfully: "We have been to the rooftop many times. It is already the highest top floor. There must be no stairs to go up. If you are going around in circles, how could you appear on the stairs that do not exist on the rooftop?" ?"

Tongsuo said: "It's not easy? I have the best way to deal with ghosts hitting the wall. Let's divide into two groups, one group goes up to the rooftop, and the other group goes down to see if we can meet in the end."

We looked at each other, and it was inconceivable that an experience that only exists in fiction should allow us to bump into each other.

The atmosphere at this time was very dignified, but Qin Dan chuckled lightly: "Not bad, little copper lock, you can use your brain."

Tongsuo said: "I've always been smart, okay?"

His proposal is the best choice under the current circumstances, but there is something faintly wrong in my heart, I can't explain the reason, my eyelids are twitching, and I feel that something is going to happen.

"Even if you divide into two groups, you have to pay attention to one problem." I said: "When each group is exploring up or down, it is best to stay on the stairs instead of going over the stairs to the rooftop."

"What are you worried about?" Li Yang frowned.

I took a deep breath: "I'm not at ease. I always feel that the ghost hitting the wall that I hit this time is evil. We will explore different spaces separately. I am afraid that once we lose contact, we will maximize the danger."

Li Yang nodded: "Old Liu is right. How about this, Tongsuo and I go up together, and the three of you go down together, and see if we can meet in the end."

After the division of labor, there is no nonsense, Li Yang led the copper lock up the stairs, and I took Wang Chen and Qin Dan down.

Soon, we descended to the middle of the stairs.Qin Dan shone down with a flashlight, and the girl's face was also full of horror.Below the stairs is the rooftop where sundries are piled up and the iron gate is closed.

This time I was mentally prepared, and I was calm enough to observe carefully.

Our current location should be the inner wall on the west side of the roof.And according to my memory, the area on the real rooftop has no stairs at all, just a tall white wall!

The three of us continued to walk down to the bottom of the stairs, and there were still a few steps before we reached the rooftop.According to everyone's agreement before departure, our range of activities can only be on the stairs, and no one is allowed to cross this boundary.

The powerful light beams of the three wolf-eye flashlights swept across the top floor of the rooftop in front of them, and within the range of the light, there was not a single figure to be seen.We focused on the stairs leading to the roof, and there was no one there.

Suddenly, without any mental preparation, Qin Dan yelled in the sharp voice unique to girls: "Li Yang, Tongsuo, can you hear me?"

I was so scared, damn it, this girl couldn't say hello in advance before she shouted.Wang Chen was a young child, and he was as timid as a mouse in this environment. The flashlight in his hand was so frightened that it fell on the stairs unsteadily, rolled down the stairs, and even rolled onto the top floor platform.

The flashlight still maintains super brightness, and as the scrolling direction keeps changing, the huge light and shadow reflected on the wall are also constantly shaking, like a spotlight in a dark theater.

We looked at each other, Wang Chen's face was pale, and he grabbed me tightly, teeth chattering.

At this time, from a seemingly far distance above, the buzzing voice of the brass lock came: "Here... we are one step short of going up to the top floor, and we are using a flashlight to shine a circle of light on the wall, do you see it? "

Qin Dan turned his face sideways and shouted: "I didn't see it!"

It is now certain that the rooftops that our two groups went to were basically two places!

The pores of my whole body opened instantly, and a strong fear surged like a tide.At this time, I made a decisive decision: "Go up!"

But both of them were dumbfounded in place, motionless, especially Wang Chen, his eyes were bulging, his throat kept moving, and his hands tremblingly pointed in one direction.

I followed his hand to see that the flashlight rolling on the platform had stopped, and the beam of light shot out from the top of the flashlight, shining on the two tightly closed large white iron doors leading to the roof.

Just in the spot of light, a black shadow hangs faintly.What is frightening is not its size, but its strange shape.

It is the shadow of a person.

It can be about 1.5 meters long, with a big head, which looks like a rural bamboo basket, and a strange crooked body, with two arms as long as its body faintly appearing on both sides, which looks a bit like A primitive man who has just learned to walk upright.

Although it's just a vague outline of a shadow, the first impression is that it should be facing away from the light, not facing the wall.

Don't ask why, that's how I feel.

If it was just such a shadow, at least Qin Dan, who had experienced many battles, would not be frightened and stiff on the spot.Because there are many reasons for the illusion of shadows, such as the interlacing of light from different light sources, the transmission and refraction of special objects, etc., the reason why we are so afraid now is that this shadow is alive.

It's moving.

Smart readers will remember this detail.Wang Chen's flashlight is still on the platform at this time, and the light source it emits is also stable.In other words, the shadow is moving, not because of the visual difference caused by the change of the light source, but because it is really moving by itself!

The hunched figure seemed to be looking for something, and the shadow changed from big to small.In my feeling, its position is changing, suddenly it is very close to the wall, and suddenly it is far away from the wall.

Its movement is not haphazard, but seems to have a certain purpose.

My hands were covered with cold sweat. At this time, the stairway was silent, and neither of us spoke.I guess the two of them can't even move their legs now.

The black shadow on the wall stopped and did not change.Suddenly, it turned its head, very slowly, once and for all.And the direction of turning his head is facing the stairs where we are.

Wang Chen was so frightened that Qin Dan was a girl after all. Although she had experienced a lot, at this moment, she was on the verge of collapse.It was only me who remained calm.It's not that I'm a brave person, it's because my personality is very restrained, no matter how frightened I am, I will squeeze my emotions to the greatest extent and not release them.This kind of mentality is very bad, and it is easy to be depressed, but in some cases, I am the most sober.For example now.

I yelled: "Run." I grabbed Wang Chen with one hand and Qin Dan with the other, and desperately dragged them both up the stairs.

The shadow on the iron gate should have spotted us, and it actually staggered in the spot of light, dragging two long arms, moving faster and faster towards us on the wall.

The two people finally came to their senses, rolling and crawling, only hated that their parents had lost two legs, so they ran wildly upstairs.We didn't dare to look back, and I felt numbness in the back of my scalp, and I really felt that there was something following me not far behind, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

This kind of psychological oppression makes people unable to breathe.I stepped on the ground and fell to the ground. Regardless of the burning pain in my knee, I quickly got up and continued to run up.

After running not far, they saw Li Yang and Tongsuo coming down the stairs.Two people stood on a high place, shaking us with flashlights, Tongsuo was surprised: "I'm sorry, what's wrong with you? You were kicked out by ghosts."

Qin Dan ran between the two of them and leaned against Tongsuo, the girl gasped: "Really, there really is a ghost!"

Wang Chen hid behind Li Yang, shivering into a ball.

Not to mention that Li Yang really has the aura of a superior, the more tense the situation is, the more calm the face will be.He patted Wang Chen on the shoulder to signal not to panic, and asked me who climbed up: "Old Liu, what's going on?"

After I found the main force, I felt a little more at ease. I turned my head and shone the flashlight down. The depths of the stairs were dark. Although I couldn't see anything, I always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in the deep darkness.

I rubbed my forehead, leaned against the wall panting, waved my hand: "Let Qin Dan talk."

Seeing our panic-stricken look, Tongsuo was also a little scared, so he carefully shone the flashlight on the stairs below.

Qin Dan calmed down and explained what had just happened in detail.I made some additions on the side.
