My House of Horrors

The clouds covered the city and the sky seemed to be within reach.

Lehman stood by the window and watched the rain slide down the glass, leaving a trajectory behind.

The clock ticks on the wall and the dull time flows quietly through the cabin.

“At 5: 30, work is done.” Lehman stretched his lazy waist and moved the succulent meat from the windowsill into the house and walked to his desk.

She put the sign on the table with the marriage registry in the drawer and looked at the big words on the wall - administration according to the law, civilized service.

“It's raining so hard today, no one should be registering for marriage. ”

Lehman hummed, started cleaning, she was the only one in the empty marriage registry, and the employees of the divorce registry next to her had left 15 minutes earlier.

“Hello, is this the wedding license?” The door was pushed open and a mature, magnetic male voice came from the door.

The voice is so beautiful, people must be very handsome.

Lehman looked up and stood at the door of the wedding registry a man in a black raincoat.

He looks ordinary, but he has an unspeakable temperament.

“Yes, you... do you want to get a marriage certificate?” Lee Man carefully measures the man, the first person she sees wearing a raincoat and carrying a mountaineering bag to get a marriage certificate.

“Well, I made an appointment online today. ”

“Let me check. What's your name? ”

“Chan Song. ”

Lehman typed in Chen Gong on the computer and saw his application for an appointment: “I'm almost off work. Let's get this over with. Do you have everything? Both male and female household books, identity cards, and the fact that you two do not have direct blood relatives and blood relatives within three generations. ”

“Bring it all.” The man opened his backpack and started looking inside.

Lehman heard a cat scream, and she glanced curiously into the man's backpack.

The bag was stuffed with a repeater, comic book, a doll, a ballpoint pen, and a white cat.

“Please.” The man handed Lehmann two account books and two ID cards: “Everything is here, and I've met the lady's family, and they're happy with me. ”

“Looks like you made a lot of preparations.” When Lehman finished registering the man's information and was about to start registering the woman's information, she suddenly realized that the magnetic strip on the ID card was no longer available. She looked at the name on the woman's ID card and suddenly realized one thing.

The man in front of him came to register the marriage, prepared all the information and even brought a cat, but he did not see his girlfriend.

“Wait a minute, sir.” Lehman, stop the job. "You're here to get married, aren't you? ”

“Mmm.”

“What about your girlfriend? How do you get married by yourself?” Lee Man smiled bitterly: “The marriage license must be in person. ”

The clock ticked on the wall, and the more rain outside the house, the man gently rubbed his lips and looked up at Lehman: “She came and stood right behind me. ”

The raindrops hit the windows hard and the air in the house slowly solidified.

“Sir, don't be ridiculous. Marriage must take place in person. I can't help you with that.” Li Man covered her chest and she didn't know why she suddenly couldn't breathe.

“She's really here, and we're inseparable, and where I am, we have her.” Men have clear eyes and a stubborn tone.

Looking at the man seriously, Li Man held an ID card that had long been demagnetized in her hand, and suddenly she thought of a possibility.

Turn over the woman's account book, on the page where the woman's name is printed, with the stamp of the police station's death pronounced, and the time of death was still several years ago.

“Sir…” Lehman wanted to say, but she looked at the man's stubborn expression and moved.

The man's backpack was swept with his eyes, and Lehman looked at one of the items in the bag.

Isn't this what the girl used? Is it the memory of the two of them that is kept in the treasure? Was this the cat the girl had before?

In an instant, Lehman understood why a man brought a bunch of things to the marriage registry, and why a man said that a woman was with him all the time.

The eyes were astringent, Li Man held the girl's ID card, she did not know what to say, to comfort the man, or to tell the man the cruel truth.

Her lips opened slowly, and Li Man couldn't say what was right. She looked at a man like a child in front of her and was in a complicated mood.

She barely made herself smile: “Sir, you must love her very much, right? How did you two meet? ”

“She chased me, and the first love letter I ever received in my life was from her.” The man's eyes were flickering, as if he remembered the past: “Our first date was at an abandoned school. ”

“Abandoned school? First date to abandon school? ”

“West City Private College, where she had her obsession and past, I stood in the lobby where she had practiced dance, backing up against the mirror, backing up against her, and we talked to each other. ”

Lee Manmo listened, and a picture appeared in his head.

On a quiet evening, the two of them recalled the past in their abandoned alma mater, the former academy was beautiful and lively, now there are only two of them, back-to-back, snuggling each other, what a wonderful love!

“The second date was in a psychiatric hospital, and she was dressed in red, stunning and beautiful. ”

“A psychiatric hospital? ”

“Because of my parents, I...”

“Got it, sorry.” Before the man finished, Lehman apologized. She didn't like to unravel others' scars. Perhaps her parents were another part of the man's heart.

“The third date was in a building, and I stuck the man who had made her unhappy in the elevator and taught him a lesson he would never forget. ”

“You really spoil your girlfriend, and I'm sure she'll be very happy to know about it. ”

“She was right next to me.” The gentle man reminded me of the black-haired elevator in the club building.

“The scene must have been very romantic and warm.” Lehman thinks the man in front of him is a boyfriend.

“The fourth date was in the underground cadaver of the Faculty of Forensic Medicine, and she was wounded but didn't tell me that she was sitting quietly with me, as if she was holding me in secret.” The man's voice was very nice, the sand dude had a mature rhyme, and he was remembering the past, and that faint feeling even made Lehman unconsciously ignore the special dating place of the underground morgue.

“The fifth date was on the roof of a small town, very similar to today, and it was raining heavily outside, and I leaned against her. ”

Compared to abandoned schools, psychiatric hospitals and underground morgues, the normal date location made Lehman a a little uncomfortable: “Did you tell her that day? ”

The man nodded softly: "I stood at the top of the town, shouting my heart out to that strange world, and I don't believe there is anything more romantic in this world than a lifetime of shadow. ”

“Wow.” Lehman heard a lot of people's stories, but none of Chen Song's stories shocked her, probably because she saw the death certificate on the account book and knew the reason for the results well in advance: “And then what? ”

“Later...” Chen Guo took a gentle breath: “She fell asleep, it took a long time to wake up, I've been waiting for her. ”

The death certificate on Housekeeper proved that at this moment she stabbed Li Man in the heart like a steel needle, and her tears burst into her eyes unconsciously.

Keep your head down, Lehman pretends to be looking for something, and when the computer covers her face, she snuck a tear, and she knows the end of the story.

There was no one to talk to. After a while, a man broke the peace. His hand gently rested on the empty seat beside him, as if sitting there with his girlfriend: “Our sixth date...”

It doesn't matter what the man says after, Lehman knows that after his wife's accident, he trapped himself in a cage called Love, and he thinks his girlfriend is still in the world.

Refuse to believe the fact that they have left because they love each other deeply.

Hands held together, fingertips gripped white, Li Man wanted to tell Chen Song the truth, but she couldn't bear to say it.

She buried her face behind the computer and entered all the information on the application form. She wanted to complete a dream for the man in front of her, but when she pressed the OK button, the computer popped up with a page that did not match the registration data.

The girl died many years ago, and there was no such person in the household registration data.

The reality is like a pot of ice water poured on Lehman, she looks at the man's memorable face and bites his lip: “Sir, we have incomplete data here, the system is being upgraded, we can't handle it for now, come back in a week. ”

Lehman wanted to help the man in front of him, even if he did it himself, to make a little red book that had no legal effect.

“Okay, that bothers you.” The man got up slowly, packed everything and went out. When he walked to the door, he suddenly took off his raincoat and put it over his head, as if there was another person standing beside him at the moment: “Zhang Ya, don't get too far away from me, it's raining heavily. ”

Lehman saw clearly in the house that there was no one under the man's raincoat but himself.

Looking at the man's far back, Li Man rubbed his eyes: “Perhaps this is love, love to you, loyalty to you, heart to you, end to you. ”
