The Exorcist

There is a phenomenon in China, that is, in a few places, cities develop rapidly but are poorly protected. The overall planning of urban construction has no long-term goals and is not coordinated perfectly. The result is that the overall urban landscape is chaotic and even destroyed. destroy. Among them, Ronghua Road in City A is a typical example of failure in this regard.

Before liberation, Ronghua Road used to be a place where foreigners and rich locals lived together. On both sides of the street are single-family buildings with Western architectural style. With lush tall trees, it was originally a very quiet and beautiful place. But in recent years, due to the independent development of real estate developers, the harmonious style here has been completely destroyed. As far as the eye can see, one side of the street is full of bustling high-rise buildings such as office buildings, large shopping malls, supermarkets, restaurants and entertainment venues, while the other side is an unplanned area, where several small western-style buildings and A The back door of the city university.

Now each of these small western-style buildings is divided into several ordinary families. Due to the housing shortage, each household built a lot of facilities on the balcony or windows to increase the area according to their own wishes. In disrepair, it looks particularly dilapidated from the outside. But these houses were very strong when they were built, so the inside is still good.

Only one small Spanish-style white building still retains its original flavor. The exterior wall has been painted and the building structure has not been damaged. The flowers are standing Tingtingyu.

The owner of the small building is named Lan Shan, and the house was passed down from his ancestors. It is said that his ancestors used to be a wealthy family, but in his generation, this house is the only one left.

He is a lazy man, and he does not think about making progress. His nickname is Lazy San. Fortunately, he has this house so that he does not become a beggar. He himself knew that this was his only way out, so he opened a small hotel with this beautiful western-style building.

It is said to be a hotel, but in fact it is just a small hotel with daily rentals. Occasionally, there will be one or two guests who stay for a period of time, mainly to meet the needs of young couples on the university campus.

These couples all live in the school dormitory and have no conditions to go out to live together, so they often come here to rent a room for a tryst. And because there is only this hotel nearby, the occupancy rate of Lazy San's hotel is very high.

He hired a woman from the countryside, Miss Wang, to take care of the cleaning. He didn't have to work hard himself, he was only responsible for collecting money, and then stayed in the attic to spend a leisurely and boring day. Sister Wang lives in the basement.

When he opened it he gave it a rather dainty name, but afterward it was called the Lovers' Hotel, and no one remembered what it was called.

Now that the school is about to go on winter vacation, and couples are about to leave, his business is even more prosperous. Facing another pair of guests requesting to stay, he made full use of the opportunity when Sister Wang went to visit her man who was working on the construction site, and accepted the same amount. The price, but they were arranged in the basement, knocking the young student couple.

There is no heating in the basement and it is very cold in winter nights. After the passion, the couple hugged each other and hid in the bed to keep warm, chatted for a while about the school's upcoming activities, and then fell into a deep sleep.

But in the middle of the night, the girl woke up suddenly. She didn't know why, but she just woke up suddenly in a very deep sleep, and she was sober as if she had never slept.

Perhaps, not awake, but frightened? The deepest panic in the subconscious!

The basement is very dark. After turning off the lights, only relying on the so-called skylight, that is, the light from the one-foot-square hemp glass at the top of the inner wall, which is almost flush with the ground outside the building, can vaguely distinguish near objects. But it was that light that made the girl feel like someone was stealing her!

In fact, she couldn't see anything, but she felt that there were darker things hidden in the darkness, watching her maliciously there.

It's not just the two of them in this room, there is also a third party!

That feeling was so strong and terrifying, it struck suddenly in an instant, and it frightened the usually timid girl so much that she didn't dare to move or scream, she just stared at the impenetrable darkness with wide eyes. . It was like a small animal hunted by a ferocious wild beast, only knowing to wait in horror to be devoured, and had completely lost the ability to escape and call for help.

After a long time, nothing strange happened, but she still felt creepy. The fear of the unknown made her passively stand in a stalemate with the things in the dark, and broke out in a cold sweat in this cold winter night!

At this time, the boy moved a bit, babbled, then turned over and hugged her and continued to sleep.

The girl took the opportunity to twist the boy's arm across her waist.

The boy was still in the dream, subconsciously withdrew his hands and grunted, but he didn't wake up, the girl could only increase his strength.

The boy was in pain and woke up in a daze, "What are you doing?"

"Turn on the light." The girl replied tremblingly, her throat was dry, her voice was very small, her eyes were still staring at the darkness, fearing that something might happen suddenly.

There is only one light in the basement that is so dim that it looks like it will hang up at any time, and the switch is on the wall on the boy's side.

"What's the matter?" The boy was sleepy and didn't want to stretch his hands out of the warm blanket.

"Turn on the lights, please!"

Hearing that the girl seemed about to cry, the boy was full of suspicion, but he turned around and turned on the light.

The weak light only illuminated a semicircle, and the boundary was blurred, extending to places where it could not be illuminated. Only then did they realize that the basement was huge, narrow and long, getting narrower as they went inside, and they couldn't see the direction of the gate from the inside.

"What's the matter?" Seeing the girl's frightened and uneasy face, the boy kept shrinking into his arms, hugged her tenderly, and asked softly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

The girl shook her head, and continued to stare at the invisible end, feeling that the thing in the darkness had stepped back for a while, and had already reached the door, but the feeling of being peeped still existed.

The boy became more and more puzzled, followed the girl's terrified eyes and looked into the darkness, but saw nothing.

"It must be a nightmare." He kissed the girl's sweaty forehead, "I shouldn't have told you about tomorrow's event before going to bed, it was too cruel. But don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"No." The girl clung closer to her boyfriend, leaned into his ear, and said nervously, "There seemed to be someone in the room just now! Now he ran out the door."

"I'll just say you're having a nightmare!" The boy smiled, "It's impossible, I'm afraid that our positions during sex are too exciting, and it's not good for people to see, so I carefully locked the door from the inside "The boy touched his girlfriend warmly, "And you forgot, this door is so difficult to open, and it makes such a loud noise when it is opened, how could someone come in!"

"But I really feel that someone is there!" The girl's panic subsided slightly, but the feeling just now still made her palpitate.

"That's your nightmare made too real."

"No, it's not, it's true, I'm sure."

"Well, if you're really worried, I'll go and have a look." The boy compromised.

"Don't go, I'm afraid!" The girl hugged her boyfriend tightly, feeling an inexplicable panic, "Don't leave me here alone!"

"Hey, don't be afraid. I'm here!" The boy coaxed her. The basement was too cold, and the boy wanted to return to the warm bed. "Otherwise, let's lie down and talk for a while. I'll be with you, so I won't be afraid." gone."

The girl nodded. Talking to her boyfriend for a while calmed her down a bit, and when the fear subsided, she even began to wonder if she had a nightmare, because there was really nothing in this room.

They lay down hugging each other, turned off the lights, and talked softly for a while, but nothing happened. Gradually, drowsiness came slowly again.

"Heh—" A strange breathing sound came.

Very light, but especially noticeable in this still and dark night.

In the haze, the girl woke up suddenly again. She stared at the dark void at a loss, and before she had time to react, she suddenly felt something was wrong under the quilt, a hand was stroking her body, dry, rough, cold and stiff——

whose hand?

She was resting on her boyfriend's left arm, and the boyfriend was lying on his back, the angle of that hand——

"Ah!" She screamed, sat up like a conditioned reflex, subconsciously pushed the hand away, and didn't touch anything, but the feeling of being touched still remained in her mind.

The boy was awakened by his girlfriend's screams in a half-dream, hurriedly sat up, and turned on the wall lamp.

Under the light, there was still nothing, and the depths of darkness were still invisible.

"What's the matter?" He asked hurriedly.

"He's coming again, and he's still touching me!" The girl hugged her boyfriend desperately, "I'm afraid, let's get out of here quickly!"

"Where can we go in the middle of the night? We can't go back to school! It's very cold tonight, we will freeze to death standing on the street." The boy interrupted the girl, "You must have resumed your consciousness just now, and then had a nightmare. "

"No, no, someone really came in. Really!"

"impossible."

"I didn't lie to you, he really—why don't you believe me?" The girl was anxious and afraid, with tears welling up, and looked at the dark place from time to time. At this time, the hairy feeling faded again, but she felt that it was not her hallucination!

"Let me go and see the head office." The boy was helpless.

"do not go!"

"You speak so convincingly, and you refuse to let me see it, how can it take a whole night like this!" Extreme sleepiness but unable to fall asleep made the boy a little impatient.

The girl choked up a bit reluctantly.

She didn't want to anger her boyfriend, but she was really scared. She doesn't know what to do? How can I make her boyfriend believe her, and how can I get out of this gloomy basement? She looked around, but nothing really appeared, even in the dark place where the light could not be seen, there was no movement. As soon as the boyfriend wakes up and the lights come on, the horrible feeling will slowly dissipate. Could it be that she is crazy?

She hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, then let's go together."

"No need, it's cold outside." Seeing his girlfriend's terrified appearance, the boy softened his heart again, "Lie down obediently, I won't go far." He got up, put on his clothes indiscriminately, and took out a lighter from his schoolbag And the switchblade that I usually use to cut fruit.

"Be careful!" the girl whispered, really unwilling to part with him.

"Don't worry! I'm fine. I'm from the amateur boxing team." The boy waved the knife and lighter in his hand and walked out.

He walked to the edge of the darkness where the lights couldn't reach, and stepped in unprepared, as if being swallowed by the darkness. This made the girl suddenly feel like parting from life and death at that moment, scared and sad.

She gently called her boyfriend by his name.

The boy turned his head slowly and turned on the lighter, "Look, there's nothing there." He illuminated the surrounding area with that faint light, "Now I'll go out and have a look."

"No, you come back, I believe it, stop being suspicious." The last 'ghost' girl said briefly, but it still made her tremble uncontrollably.

Are there ghosts here? They have come many times and never encountered a ghost! But what did you encounter just now?

"Just take a look." The boy insisted.

He hoped that his behavior could reassure his girlfriend completely and stop her inexplicable panic, so that everyone can sleep peacefully. He will be busy for a while at the school event tomorrow! He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, and if someone makes trouble, he also believes that his force is not inferior to this peeping thief.

His vigorous blood makes him not afraid of everything.

The lighter went out. The figure of the boy plunged into darkness again.

The girl couldn't see that side, only heard the creaking door, and a gust of cold wind came straight into the room.

Then, the wall lamp suddenly went out!
