I Wasn’t Born Lucky

Just when the reincarnations fell asleep again, the security guard on night shift was reading a book in the office. It was a book of strange talk.

After turning a page, he looked up at the clock on the wall, and when it was almost time, he closed his book and stood up, ready to take the last shift.

While he was waiting for the elevator in the lobby, the security guard scratched his neck and thought of the woman sitting at the front desk.

At first, when he remembered this, he hypnotically told himself that it might be that Xiaoqian's child was cured and she returned from leave, but the manager forgot to tell him.

But thinking about it now, he always felt that something was wrong. Although Xiaoqian's hair was black and long and straight, it seemed not as long as that woman...

And every move of the woman revealed an indescribable strangeness.

Or... ask Xiaoqian to confirm.

The security guard walked into the elevator. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened Xiaoqian's WeChat account. The editor said, "Xiaoqian, how is the child's illness, is it all right? Also, did you come to work today?"

He considered the words and sentences, and finally pressed the "send" button, waiting for the other party's reply.

The lights in the elevator hit the security guard’s mobile phone screen. He didn't feel any difference at first, but after the elevator went up two floors, his eyes widened suddenly, as if he saw something incredible on the phone screen. thing.

On the screen of the mobile phone, the silhouette of a woman appeared in the reflection and refraction, standing behind him.

The security guard froze, when he came in... there was no one else in the elevator.

He turned his head and looked behind him, there was nothing.

The security guard picked up the phone, he pressed off the screen, held the phone high, and then looked through the screen—

The woman is still there.

She was wearing a red dress and stood motionless against the security guard.

Could it be...

The security seemed to think of something immediately, and there was a look of shock on his face. It was not like something incomprehensible appeared, but more like an emotion like "it turned out to be true".

He turned around and threw himself to the side of the elevator, holding the phone tightly, his eyes crossed between the phone screen and reality.

However, the woman remained still, which made the security guard a little relieved.

As long as the elevator opens, he will immediately escape!

In the gaze of the security guard, the elevator rose from floor to floor, but just as he kept looking up, he once found that the ghost in red appeared directly in his naked eye.

Not through the reflection of the phone screen, but standing directly in front of him.

The mobile phone slipped from the security guard's hand to the ground, and he was too shocked to scream. He could only watch the female ghost appearing in the elevator walking towards him.

…………

The morning sun spilled in from the revolving door of the Cavill Hotel, making the two pots of plants at the door more comfortable to stretch their branches and leaves.

It's just that the other staff in this hotel are not so comfortable now-although the hotel is usually very idle at this time, there are a lot less guests coming and going than usual, but it is obviously different today.

The cause was that a guest found a body in the elevator.

One pass two, two pass three, three pass a hundred, because the guest’s high-pitched scream caused many people to gather in front of the elevator and give pointers.

This is true even for ordinary guests, let alone reincarnations.

Ye Zeqing and others had already left the house and stood outside the crowd when the first scream appeared.

"What's going on here?" Ye Zeqing asked casually, arching a man standing outside.

The man glanced at Ye Zeqing, probably because he thought he was extraordinary, but he was not angry at his rude behavior. Instead, he said in an exaggerated tone: "It's dead."

"what's the situation?"

"The woman in front wanted to take the elevator out, but as soon as the elevator opened the door, I saw the body of the security guard lying inside."

Ye Zeqing: "Well, that's really terrible."

He squeezed hard to the front and glanced into the elevator: the security guard's face was already blue and stiff, but there was a shocked look on his face, as if he had seen something incredible.

And his mobile phone dropped to the ground. The screen of the mobile phone was cracked. There was a WeChat message from Xiaoqian on it: [Don't mention it, it's still burning. I'll be with him in the hospital.

Ye Zeqing retracted his hand and squeezed out of the crowd again, translating the news he had heard to the rest of the samsara.

Xiao Li was not inside. He was in Shen Mirzhi's room. Ye Zeqing stood at the door of the room and hesitated for a while before daring to go in. He chose to wait for the other party to wake up naturally.

In the door of that room, Xiao Li didn't hear the noise from the outside world. On the contrary, the room was very quiet, the curtains were half opened, soft sunlight came in, and the temperature was neither high nor low.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Shen Mirzhi noticed it.

The young man was sitting by the bed, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes did not fall on it when he looked closely.

His legs are put together naturally, and they are smooth and beautiful.

Shen Mirage straightened up. He saw Xiao Li wake up, put down the book in his hand, and moved his throat unobtrusively: "You are awake."

This kind of greeting to Xiao Li, who just woke up, was something he had been looking forward to for a long time. He even smiled at every ending in his words-if he was like this, it would be seen by any god who knew him in the high-dimensional world. When they arrive, they will doubt their eyes.

It is also because of this that Shen Mirzhi had to deliberately calm down his tone, otherwise Xiao Li could easily see that something was wrong with him.

Xiao Li rubbed his eyes. He slept for a long time, and his eyelids were almost sticking together. His open black eyes sparkled like sunlight through the shade of a tree, with water patterns on the neck of the boy. The arc is just right slender.

"You woke up very early." Xiao Li said vaguely, with a soft, coquettish nasal voice when he spoke at this time.

He is not usually like this, he wakes up very quickly, but I don't know why, it was like someone put a sleeping pill on him last night, and now he can't open his eyes.

Ah, too cute, foul.

Shen mirage thought.

He hadn't slept all night and said nonsense with his eyes open: "Fortunately, only a little earlier than you."

Xiao Li opened the quilt and walked into the bathroom. He habitually washed his face with cold water. After forcibly sobering himself, he roughly combed and walked out.

"Go for breakfast?" Shen Mirchi had already dressed up, he looked cold and handsome, but what he actually did was quite soft, he asked after looking at the time.

Xiao Li picked an apple from the fruit basket, and his tone of voice had returned to the usual way: "I usually don't eat breakfast."

Suppers are often.

He also handed one to the other party by the way. Shen Mirage reached out and took it. He looked at the other party's face still dripping with water and the action of preparing to go out, and lowered his eyes: "Are you going out?"

Xiao Li had already reached the door, ready to open the door: "Yes."

Shen Mirage stood behind him. At the doorway, he felt a little impulsive to reach out and press the door of the house, but after all, he dropped his hand to his side.

——

Room 908.

When Ye Zeqing saw Xiao Li, he was eating a steak packed from the restaurant, and said narrowly, "Did you sleep well?"

Xiao Li sat down blankly and asked instead, "What's going on outside?"

The elevator side has been sealed, and relevant personnel are investigating.

Ye Zeqing recounted the matter roughly, and then pretended to sum up: "I don't know what kind of strange talk the security has encountered, but I personally think that the crying woman has no time to trouble others."

In other words, there is a high possibility that the fourth strange story has appeared.

Xiao Li took out the little yellow book, and when he picked up the pen, he wanted to remember something, but he was taken aback for a moment when he opened it. Several lines of writing appeared on the little yellow book: [Hair looks black and cold, but it feels like it touches But it is very different, very soft and warm.

[I have been thinking about giving you a kiss, wrapping your hair around your fingers, then holding you, and taking you completely.I never thought that restraining possession is such a difficult thing.

[What kind of person would you like?

As for the previous words, Xiao Li was already quite familiar with it. He bit his pen and wrote a line under the last question: [Good-looking.

He turned this page and wrote a few key words about this task.

Riyan hasn't started the live broadcast yet, but he still holds his camera and doesn't let go. He uses a selfie stick to support it to see things through it almost all the time, for fear that something will appear.

Ye Zeqing couldn't see it and asked, "Boy, why do you keep holding this stuff?"

"Isn't it because I'm afraid of ghosts coming, I don't know." Ri Yan said with a smile. "The woman who cried before was also the same. At first, I could only see it through the camera..."

When he said this, Xiao Li suddenly asked: "——At first you could only see the crying woman through the camera?"

Riyan: "Yes, I was scared to death at the beginning, I only heard the sound, but didn't see him."

"But when we came, we saw it directly with the naked eye." Xiao Li put down the pen and said thoughtfully, "At first I thought the camera was only useful for Room 909, but now it seems...weeping The strange story of women did not exist in reality at first, or in other words, it could not be seen through the naked eye."

When he said this, Hull guessed while translating, and said in English: "In the West, cameras have a special magnetic field. Through it, you can see something invisible to the naked eye."

Xiao Li: "Then there are two possibilities now. First, this is a special homicide method that uses a camera to capture one's own traces and finally reappears; second, they can only exist in the camera at the beginning, and until the end, Step by step into reality, away from the medium."

Hull: "The second possibility is like going from a two-dimensional world to a three-dimensional world, from a plane to a 3D?"

"I thought of Sadako. It spreads the curse through a video tape, and finally can crawl out of the TV. From the video tape to the entity, it also crosses a dimension." Ye Zeqing said as he cut a steak and sent it to the entrance. After pushing the steak aside, he lost his appetite.

Reiko: "At present, it seems that the strange talks have not been connected before, and I don't know where the source is..."

In the cloud and mist as Riyan listened, he pricked up his ears and played with the phone for a while, and then said: "I have asked a lot of people, but no one knows the exact source of these strange talks. They are all passed on from person to person. The source has been found long ago. Not anymore."

Taotie sighed silently: "This is normal. Now if you ask me the specific source of the Bloody Mary, I definitely don't know."

Hull walked around the room, and he said a little eagerly: "It's not a problem to sit like this, I'll go outside and ask about the situation—"

He just opened the door and stayed where he was.

When the other reincarnations saw this, they also stood up and went to the door of the room together, only to see that the outside was no longer the corridor of the hotel, but a small alley instead.

It's like the small alleys in southern cities, extending in all directions, the ground is full of pitted stones, the alleys are narrow, and the light that can penetrate is very limited.

As soon as the door opened, the interior of the room also changed, becoming one wall after another.

"The fourth strange story...?" Riyan's voice trembling broke the silence. He immediately chose the barrage guard, set up the selfie stick, and opened the live broadcast room.

The time in this alley is obviously not the same as reality. In reality, it is broad daylight, but here it is close to night, the sky is dim, and the rain is not raining, and there is drizzle rain falling on everyone's shoulders.

On the side of the alley are residential houses with low eaves, made of bricks, but there are no people, and the doors and windows of every house are tightly closed.

There was a mountain of rocks piled up in the corner, and an old bicycle was parked at the end of the road. It was not locked, but the iron chain on it was rusted, and the seat was taken away, leaving only a steel pipe.

Xiao Li: "Go ahead and look."

The reincarnations took a few steps forward carefully and walked into the alley, trying to find a way to leave.

The alley looked darker, and the houses on both sides blocked a large part of the light, but what made Xiao Li strange was that there were no street lights on both sides of the road.

Generally speaking, alleys in cities, especially those that live in people, will put some lighting things, sometimes lanterns, sometimes street lamps.

But there is no such road, and there is a decadent breath in the air.

The light is very dim.

Maybach first took out a flashlight from his pocket. He pressed the switch and the white light penetrated the darkness, but it hadn't turned on for ten seconds. With a cracking sound, the bulb of the flashlight exploded and went out automatically.

The alley fell into darkness again.

Xiao Li thought of a strange story that also circulated in reality: Wudeng Lane.

According to legend, No Lamp Alley was the only way to approach a certain slaughterhouse in the old days. The most notable feature of this alley was that street lamps could not be installed at all. Once installed, the light bulb would burst the next day, and walking in the alley would also be able to use a flashlight. Will go out inexplicably.

Will this be the lampless lane in urban rumors?

No one knew how to get out of this strange talk, so they had to move forward.

This alley didn't seem to be long, but everyone walked a distance. However, when it was about to reach the end, Xiao Li, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped.

Ye Zeqing has been paying attention to him, and he took back his pace in time to avoid the bad luck of the crash: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Li didn't answer, he followed the opponent's line of sight, but this look shocked him.

There was an old man beside the bicycle that was parked on the side of the road.

The old man had a bald head, he lowered his head, he couldn't see his features clearly, and he was wearing clothes from the last century.

He held the handle of the bicycle with one hand, but his other hand was raised horizontally as if showing them the way, pointing to the right.

This is... the meaning of asking them to go to the right?

Xiao Li observed the old man closely, but before he could react, the old man had disappeared without a trace.

It was as if he was a ghost on this street, who appeared on purpose just to show them the way.

Xiao Li walked two steps forward, and he looked at the end of the road: After going out of this alley, there are two choices on the left and right. Both of these choices lead to another alley. It is almost doubtful that this will be the case. The endless fork in the road.

"Is this a ghost hitting the wall?" Ye Zeqing touched his arm, and he asked with lingering fear.

"No," Xiao Li denied. "Although they look roughly similar, the details are different. This is more like a... huge maze."

"Have any of you heard this weird story?" Ri Yan asked the audience, holding his selfie stick.

[No, where is this?

[It looks so oozing, the boss protects me.

[Except for the Cavill's, the strange talks you have experienced, I have never heard of anything else, and there is no news on the Internet.

Perhaps it was because they were delayed here for too long. On the wall in front of this alley, several figures appeared one after another, all of them bowed their heads and pointed to the right.

It's like a few street signs without emotion.

"These little ghosts all ask us to go to the right. Do we want to listen to them?" Taotie carefully squinted his eyes and looked at the alley on the right, but only saw darkness.

"I think it's better not. Who knows where ghosts will point you? Maybe...their nest?" Reiko bit her lower lip, stumbled and expressed her opinion in English.

"But in case of this strange story, use our psychology..."

Ri Yan looked left and right, and finally leaned against Xiao Li: "Mr Moriarty, what do you think?"

Xiao Li's response was to get out the phone. He said naturally: "Wait a minute, I'll ask a professional."

Riyan:???

Xiao Li dialed a number.

The corner of Ye Zeqing's eyes jumped, and he could roughly guess who the other party was calling, but Hull and others are still unclear. Although Xiao Li had made a ghost call in front of them before, he said at that time In the clouds and mists, plus it was spoken in Chinese, they didn't understand too much, so this time Hull took the initiative to ask: "Mo, who are you calling? Didn't we have no signal? ?"

Xiao Li: "Electronic navigation."

Ye Zeqing took the initiative to interpret for him, saying in English: "High German map."

Hull: "............???"

What the hell?

After the beep, the ghost caller connected the phone.

Xiao Li didn't talk too much nonsense, and went straight forward: "Can you locate me where I am?"

The phone ghost was silent for a moment: "No."

Xiao Li: "Don't be so ruthless, you think about our relationship, but we have to talk every once in a while--"

"I mean," said the phone ghost, "I can't locate you. Another force has blocked my signal."

Xiao Li: "Oh? So you are really on the signal? Then it seems that next time I have to bring a signal booster with me."

The ghost stick on the phone read: "...The phone you dialed is turned off, please try again later."

The words are not bad, but Li Gui's hoarse voice full of resentment is far from the sweetness of normal customer service.

Xiao Li broke it through: "You read this yourself, right?"

The next second, the phone ghost hung up.

Xiao Li retracted his phone, and shook his head to Ye Zeqing, who looked concerned.

"Then you can only rely on intuition now." Ye Zeqing said happily, "Or you can cast a dice to decide, Ou Huang."

Xiao Li glanced at him leisurely: "Yes, but not necessary."

Ye Zeqing: "What do you mean?"

"Listen." Xiao Li nodded his ear.

Ye Zeqing listened intently for a while, and there was a faint voice from the right side of the alley. It was a voice that seemed to be blown away by the wind: "Is there anyone..."

"Help me...ah...it hurts, help me...ah..."

This voice has been repeating this paragraph intermittently. The voice is not stern, but it is full of tempting to rescue.

"Don't believe this kind of help, it must be a ghost. I encountered Siren in a copy, and once you answer it, you will—" Reiko spoke quickly, trying to silence the cry for help.

But before she finished her words, Xiao Li was already refreshed, and suddenly responded: "Where are you, I'm here to save you!"

Reiko: "......"

She turned green and was frightened.

The author has something to say: Help the ghost: Help me...

Xiao Li: Where are you, I'm here to save you!

Help ghost: is it you? No no no (kick your legs and crawl back) don't want you to save me
