[The night is dark, and the fog is permeating the roads of the town, adding a gloomy atmosphere to this remote town.

"I said Mike, it's so late, or... let's not go!" The fat boy with freckles curled his neck and cowardly persuaded his companion.

"Huh! You're not scared anymore! Isn't it just a haunted house, coward! What's so scary about this! Besides, I've put aside the conversation with Jessica and the others. Wouldn't it be lost if I didn't take a few pictures? My face!" A tall young man with short blonde hair, messy like a bird's nest, gave the fat boy a contemptuous look, and walked into the deserted and desolate small house in front of him.

Weeds grow in the unmaintained yard.

A strange faded symbol was painted on the dilapidated door of the small bungalow. The door leaned on the door frame, revealing the furniture covered with white cloth inside the door.

Seeing this, the fat boy couldn't help shaking with fright, but seeing his companion had entered, he still boldly walked in, not willing to be abandoned by his companion.

It has been a long time since a person died a few years ago that no one came in this house. The residents of the town kept secrets about it and scared the children that it was a haunted house and would not let them in.

However, sometimes, the more banned, the more attractive.

After a long while, after the fat boy walked in, the dilapidated door actually moved forward slowly.

In the creaking sound, the door closed tightly.

After a while, there was a sharp scream and a rushing running sound from the door, as if a fierce chase was going on.

"Ahhhhh!!! No! There is a ghost!!! Save me!"

"Oh! Mike! The door won't open!!!"

"Ahhh-"

The scream stopped abruptly.

The door of the room with spider webs was still closed, but bright red blood flowed from the gap under the door, with a strong smell of blood.

Two weeks later, a writer named Leonard saw a house sale information on Star.com. He checked the house information with great interest and was overjoyed: "Oh, hey! This is not the perfect vacation villa. !"

With that, he pressed the order button in front of him.

Ding Dong——

The button flashed and turned into a scarlet smile.

"Order successful~"]

——From "In the Mist"

!!!

It was a childish face belonging to a young man, but it was a terrifying bluish white.

The blond-haired young man squatted quietly beside Zhou Yu, his blue eyes were dull and his lips were red like blood.

It was next to Zhou Yu, staring motionlessly at Zhou Yu's bloodless face with lifeless eyes.

Zhou Yu's long eyelashes trembled, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of him, his breathing became rapid, his chest undulated violently, and finally he let himself lean weakly on the wall, his white shirt was instantly dyed Jet black color.

The blond boy was still curled up beside Zhou Yu, and it tugged at the corners of its stiff mouth, with a gloomy smile on its face.

[Brother, do you have candy?

It stretched out its scarred and rolled palm, revealing the fruit candy wrapped in the red sugar paper in the palm.

"Huh! Huh!" Zhou Yu's face became paler after seeing the fruit candy.

On the floor, dazzling blood kept flowing, soaking Zhou Yu's new shoes.

Zhou Yu didn't take the candy, just gasping for breath, the pain suppressed in his voice.

"Why? Why should it be me?"

The blond boy didn't answer Zhou Yu's question, but nestled beside him, his breath was cold and shocking.

Looking at this scarred ghost, the calm mask on Zhou Yu's face was broken, revealing the sadness and despair hidden under the mask for the first time, and even some resentment.

When he was twelve years old, he moved here with his mother for the first time, and then he encountered the nightmare of his life-Arnold.

The boy who was fourteen years old but still as thin as a child approached him with a cautious smile, willing to give everything he had, just to be friends with him.

However, he refused.

For some reason, Zhou Yu hated him from the first sight of Arnold, even breathing the air under the same sky with him would make him feel sick.

boom--

Zhou Yu tried to stand up, but fell weakly to the ground.

After a while, he braced his body weakly, ignoring the stern, blond-haired boy next to him, and climbed to the baggage capsule he was carrying-he wanted to take out the medicine bottle inside.

Patter

Unfortunately, due to the uncontrollable shaking of his fingers, Zhou Yu accidentally knocked over the medicine bottle, and the white pills were scattered all over the place, stained with dust.

At this moment, Zhou Yu, who was suffering from a splitting headache, glanced at the blond boy with an increasingly weird and terrifying expression beside him. There were big beads of sweat on his forehead, grabbing a handful of pills and swallowing it.

[Hee hee~ Why don't you eat candy, brother?] The cold breath of the blond boy touched Zhou Yu's neck and his laughter was strange.

The Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times, and Zhou Yu glanced at the blond boy who was about to pinch his neck, slowly closed his eyes, and lay on his side on the floor without moving.

His dark hair was soaked in sweat, and it stuck to the sides of his cheeks wet, with a beauty like angel abuse.

call--

A cool breeze blew in along the open windows, blowing the curtains up and down, and also awakened Zhou Yu's trance consciousness.

Opening his eyes, the wet black eyeballs under his eyelids were exposed, and Zhou Yu's expression was rarely fragile.

He sat up and looked around the attic.

In the narrow attic utility room, a lot of metal scraps and outdated cleaning tools are piled up strayly.

The dusty single bed was placed in the dark corner of the room. The spider web on the ceiling had been connected to a large area. Several dark spiders lay in the center of the web, waiting for the intrusion of prey.

Zhou Yu lowered his head expressionlessly, and saw his brand new black leather shoes-only some dust was stained on them, without the slightest trace of blood.

"Is the condition worsening again?"

Looking at the empty corner, Zhou Yuyun rubbed his eyebrows, trying to relieve the tension in his head.

He hadn’t been sick for a long time, but he didn’t expect that he would almost lose his life when he first came here—he knew that if he hadn’t taken the medicine just now, that Arnold’s phantom would have started to choke his neck and force him to eat that fruit candy.

Then, he will be greeted with a sense of suffocation that cannot breathe. If no one gives him first aid, then he will die in pain after struggling for a few minutes.

With a slight sneer, Zhou Yu stood up and quietly sorted out his wrinkled shirt.

I'm used to it, this so-called Arnold's curse, perhaps really, as the head nurse who is very mean to the patient said, will accompany him for a lifetime!

"Resentment is hard to dispel...Is it." Zhou Yu's cold and delicate eyebrows showed deep disgust.

Outside the window, in the deserted and desolate courtyard, a black crow tilted his head and screamed again: "Quack!!"

Zhou Yu returned to his senses, glanced at the crow indifferently, took a few steps forward, quickly closed the window, and then closed the curtains tightly. There was no light in his black eyes.

Oh, I should be more resentful, Arnold.

That night,

Zhou Yu was lying on the cleaned sheets, staring at the spider web above his head with his eyes open, without blinking.

In just a few hours, the original cluttered utility room has changed its appearance. All the metal scraps have been stored in cartons, the dust on the floor has been cleaned up, and even the heavily worn wallpaper has been completely renewed.

There was only the ceiling, Zhou Yu didn't move at all.

Watching the fat-bodied spiders crawling on the webs, Zhou Yu seemed to be immersed in it until midnight, unable to extricate himself.

He has been alone for so long, and now he even finds a few spiders very interesting.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Screams came from outside the window, near and far away.

Zhou Yu's dark eyes trembled, turned his head, stared at the window tightly covered with curtains, and said nothing.

Gradually, the scream subsided, but Zhou Yu still refused to look away, his pale cheeks were almost transparent in the darkness.

——

There was a rhythmic knock on the window outside the window.

Turning over, Zhou Yu, with his back to the window, pursed his lips and closed his eyes tightly.

These are all illusions.

Maybe it was really too tired today. Zhou Yu fell asleep shortly after closing his eyes. He was dizzy and drowsy, forgetting all his worries.

At the same time, the sound outside the window stopped, as if afraid of disturbing the people's sleep in the house, and as if it was really just an illusion of Zhou Yu.

The night was as cold as water, and after an unknown period of time, there was a sudden soft noise in the room.

Snapped--

Bloody footprints appeared from the window and walked all the way to Zhou Yu's sleeping single bed at a terrifying speed.

The sleeping black-haired boy seemed to feel a little bit, his brows frowned slightly, his perfect lips moved a few times, revealing his white teeth.

The unknown intruder stood by the black-haired boy's bed, bent over and got close to the boy on the bed.

The strands of blond hair dyed with blood and water fell on both sides of the black-haired boy's cheeks, bringing a slight itching sensation.

The black-haired boy showed a little trouble between his eyebrows, but he still didn't wake up.

Hoo-hoo-

The unknown intruder was pale, and his lifeless blue eyes were facing the closed eyes of the black-haired boy.

He almost greedily stared at this beautiful face that he hadn't seen for a long time, and the deep breath looked terrifying in this deadly attic.

"Good night, brother."

As the intruder's hoarse voice fell, the bloody footprints that had permeated people disappeared, and the attic returned to its former quietness.

"Get up and go to school! Little bunny, you mean to lose the face of my old lady!" The blonde middle-aged woman slapped the attic door angrily, and the door panel of Dalian couldn't help shaking because of her strength, and the dust fluttered. Fell down.

Opening his eyes, Zhou Yu woke up from his sleep.

He looked at the clock on the bedside in amazement, which was quite weird.

Because this is the first time in six years that he has not had that dream.

Outside the door, his mother Ma Xi was still yelling, Zhou Yu tilted his head and looked at the door panel that was about to be scrapped for a while, and the corners of his mouth were rarely raised.

Today is a beautiful day.

For the first time to get rid of the lingering nightmare, Zhou Yu, who has always been indifferent, has a rare experience of relaxation and joy.

He got off the bed and put on his clothes slowly, not forgetting to fold the quilt into tofu cubes.

Then, after finishing everything, he opened the torn door.

Outside the door was the middle-aged woman Ma Xi, who was so angry that she was blue-faced. She looked at Zhou Yu who was so happy, raised her slap, and was about to give a severe lesson to this disobedient idiot son.

"you this--"

Zhou Yu stood by the door and glanced at her coldly, a frightening halo actually reflected in her black and white eyes.

Marcy was shocked, her breathing was stagnant, and her raised palm suddenly froze.

"—I will pay attention to my old lady in the future!" The corners of her eyes twitched, and Marcy cursed dryly. She didn't dare to face this strangely scented son again, turned and ran down the stairs.

Zhou Yu watched the wrinkled middle-aged woman run away like a ghost, a bit inexplicable.

He was already prepared to avoid that slap, but didn't he fight anymore?

Although Maxi's weird behavior was a little strange, Zhou Yu didn't take it to heart, and immediately left it behind.

This woman's nervousness is not a day or two, he doesn't care much about the life of this woman, and he doesn't bother to explore her abnormalities.

When he went downstairs, Zhou Yu saw a family of three dining at the table.

His eyes flashed, Zhou Yu found that there were only three sets of cutlery on the table, without his share.

So Zhou Yu turned his toes and walked to the kitchen.

He is not used to being hungry, so he can only go to the kitchen to see what else he can eat.

Seeing this stepson, who had been calling for a long time, walked to the kitchen so unceremoniously, without even saying hello, the brawny man sitting at the main seat of the table immediately raised his eyebrows and became angry.

"Hey this little bastard! I don't say thank you to the one who eats the old man and the one who lives in the old one! He just shakes his face!" Then, the brawny man was about to stand up and teach the stepson who didn't know the height of the earth, but he was surprised by his wife Mar. Xi was stopped.

Marcy's turbid blue eyes flashed, and he hesitated: "My dear, let's leave now. Today that little bunny is going to class. If he is found to have injuries, the mayor will fine me the salary and the subsidy... …"

Even though he said that, Maxi's eyes flashed with the crippled black eyes just now, her heart trembled, and she subconsciously didn't want her husband to touch the weird child.

When he heard that it was about subsidies, the strong man had to swallow his grievances, and planned to teach the stepson again when he was free.

After all, their family is not wealthy, and the mayor promised to give them a monthly government subsidy because of the foster stepson, which is still very worthwhile for them.

On the other side, Zhou Yu has successfully found a few slices of bread and a carton of milk in the kitchen.

He tore apart pieces of the chilled bread and stuffed it into his mouth, his expression flat.

No matter what food is delicious or unpalatable, he has this expression.

In fact, he doesn't care about the deliciousness of the food, as long as it can fill his stomach and keep him alive, he will eat it no matter how unpalatable it is.

This is one of the most useful things he has learned after living in a mental hospital for so many years.
