Mysterious country

(There are still too few collection recommendations, and new book issues are particularly important.)

"Dong dong dong!"

"Dong dong dong...!"

The nightmarish door knocking continued, as if it would never stop until the door was knocked open.

Xia Qi leaned against the door with a cold sweat on his face, then he turned around and carefully aimed his gaze at the cat's eye again.

The blood that originally filled the cat's eyes had disappeared, and was replaced by... a face so close at hand!

It was the face of an old woman, densely covered with countless disgusting pustules.

"ah--!"

Xia Qi was so frightened that he sat directly on the ground. He was already convinced that the "woman" who appeared in the cat's eyes was definitely not a human!

Because the scenery seen through the cat's eye is relatively far away, it is impossible to be close at hand.

Unless... that woman originally lived in the cat's eye!

"**Unless you break the door, I will never open it! If you are wronged, you must be responsible, so what's going on with me!"

Xia Qi remembers hearing a classmate say that ghosts are afraid of evil people. If one day you really encounter a ghost, just act a little more ferocious, regardless of whether it is a human or a ghost, just curse him to death.

At his wits' end, he had no choice but to treat a dead horse as a living doctor. If he hadn't been brave enough, other people would have been frightened out of their wits if they had encountered such a weird and terrifying thing.

I don't know if pretending to be a villain played a role, but the door that had been vibrating finally became quiet. Xia Qi waited uneasily for a while, and then looked outside through the peephole.

The "woman" in the cat's eyes has disappeared, and the corridor seems to have returned to normal, shrouded in darkness again.

"Success?"

Although it seemed that he had returned to normal, Xia Qi did not dare to let down his guard at all. Just in case, he put tables, chairs and benches inside the house. Everything he could move was used as a tool to block the door.

But just when Xia Qi was panting and leaning against the wall, thinking that everything was fine, the sound of toilet flushing suddenly came from his bathroom.

"Wow...!"

The strange sound of pumping water made Xia Qi shiver uncontrollably. The corpses that were blocked in the toilet last night, each of them had painful, ferocious, and blood-stained faces before death. It all appeared in his mind very clearly.

"No--!"

Xia Qi didn't want to die like this. His colorful life had just begun. He didn't own luxury cars, mansions, goddesses, and all the other beautiful things. How could he be willing to die here?

It's enough to die in such a shabby rental house. If the body is stuffed into the toilet again... Xia Qi thinks that even if he is a ghost, he will lose face and cannot hold his head up.

Rushing into the bathroom, Xia Qi looked down at the toilet, which was making the sound of flushing, and then felt a strong heart palpitation.

Because the originally white toilet turned completely blood red at this moment.

Such a weird scene completely distorted Xia Qi's previous world view. There might really be ghosts in this world!

He felt that from now on, if he heard any bastard tell him that there were no such things as ghosts in the world, he would not hesitate to let that bastard die as far away as possible.

"Snapped--!"

Xia Qi put down the toilet seat tremblingly, recited Amitabha loudly and returned to the bedroom. After he came back, he immediately began to rummage through his suitcases anxiously.

"Amulets... amulets... I remember there were so many... where the hell are they all?"

Xia Tian Qi rummaged through almost every suitcase. Fortunately, his hard work paid off. He dug out a canvas bag with the word "Kun" printed in black from one of the boxes.

This bag is called the Qiankun Bag. Except for the amulets his grandfather gave him that he lost, almost all the rest are stored here. These rubbish that used to be worthless in his eyes now look as good as a bag of golden gold. .

Of course, that's assuming these amulets actually work.

However, the current situation did not allow him to think too much. After all, there seemed to be something bad crawling out of his toilet.

Xia Tian Qi hurriedly took the Qiankun bag to the bathroom, then gritted his teeth and lifted the lid of the toilet.

Xia Qi originally just wanted to throw one or two amulets into the toilet to see if it would have a certain effect, but what he never expected was that the moment he opened the toilet lid, a pale arm appeared Suddenly it stretched out and grabbed his left shoulder.

"ah--!"

A cold feeling spread all over his body instantly, and Xia Qi was so frightened that he let out a loud scream. No matter what, he grabbed a handful of amulets from the Qiankun bag and threw it into the toilet.

The moment the amulet entered the toilet, there was a burst of green light in the toilet, and then the claw on Xia Qi's shoulder suddenly retracted as if it was electrocuted.

Seeing that the amulet really worked, Xia Qi's heart that had just been suspended finally dropped, but he didn't dare to stay in the bathroom at all and hurriedly escaped from it.

After escaping from the bathroom, he originally wanted to put an amulet in every corner of the rental house. However, what made him very regretful was that due to his poor hands before, there was only the last amulet left in the Qiankun bag.

As for those that were originally placed in the Qiankun bag, he just threw them into the toilet out of fear.

Fortunately, there is still one left that can be used for self-defense.

Because he didn't know if that ghost would appear again, Xia Qi didn't dare to sleep all night, but he didn't know if his amulet worked, and nothing happened until dawn.

The messy house was completely bathed in the warm morning light, as calm as if nothing had happened.

Rubbing his cheek vigorously, Xia Qi felt that his whole body was full of fatigue and soreness, especially his left shoulder, which was in severe pain. There was a black handprint on it that was deeply visible to the bone.

"It really hurts me!"

Xia Qi carefully moved his left arm. Although it hurt a little, luckily it didn't affect the movement much.

After that, Xia Qi came to the bathroom with some anxiety. After careful inspection, he found that the toilet had returned to normal, except that there was a layer of ashes floating on it that was suspected of being an amulet.

After confirming that the bathroom was safe, Xia Qi looked at the peephole door again... It was only after he was sure that all threats were gone, that he removed the items blocked behind the door, and then fled the rental with all his savings. Room.

After coming out, the first thing Xia Qi did was go to the nearest Internet cafe.

Holding a large bowl of noodles that was a bit hot to the touch, Xia Qi casually found an empty machine and sat down.

His original plan was to go to Xinhua Bookstore to pick up his mobile phone, but thinking that his mobile phone might have been confiscated by the police or taken away by others, he finally decided to contact his grandfather online first.

After logging into his QQ account, Xia Qi was surprised to find that his grandfather was online, so he didn't even bother to eat noodles and hurriedly sent a voice message.

I thought that his grandfather would be too busy fighting landlords to take care of him, but he didn't expect that as soon as he sent it, his grandfather answered it, but... the person who spoke was not his grandfather, but his mother.

"Tianqi, what have you been busy with lately, you bastard? You didn't even mention calling your beautiful mother and telling me, are you looking for a girlfriend? You bastard, you forgot about your mother after you found a wife... By the way, do you look good, do you have a good figure, where do you live from..."

"STOP! Stop! Mom, I was wrong. I feel extremely guilty for not keeping in touch with you in time recently. But now, I want to find my grandpa!"

"Every time I talk about you, you know you are wrong, but you never change it! Why are you looking for your grandpa?"

"I will definitely change it next time." After Xia Qi finished speaking, he hurriedly said:

"I have something to do with grandpa. It's very urgent." This time he didn't lie.

"What's up?"

"My most beautiful mother..."

"Tch, if you don't tell your mother if you have a secret, it's a bad review! I'm too lazy to talk to you. Your grandpa is not at home and is traveling."

"Ah? Are you traveling? Then why did you call his QQ?"

"Your grandpa asked me to help him register and upgrade."

"Okay, I'll call him then."

"Where did your grandpa get his phone number... By the way, I just remembered when I mentioned the phone number. Did you lose your cell phone?"

After listening to his mother's words, Xia Qi suddenly remembered that his grandfather was determined not to use a mobile phone because he was afraid of cell phone radiation. If anyone comes to him with a question, they will always contact him through the landline at home.

In other words, he can't count on his grandfather these days.

"Hey, brat, do you listen to me again?"

"Listen." After receiving this bad news, Xia Qi's mood suddenly became worse, and he asked listlessly:

"How did you know I lost my phone?"

"Yesterday a man called me and asked me if I was your mother. He asked me to contact you to get the mobile phone. He gave me a location called Floor A33 of the Golden Office Building. He asked you to go there and get it.

Do you know this place I just mentioned? "

How could Xia Qi not know that because this place was where he went for an interview at the company, the person who called his mother was most likely the middle-aged uncle.

Xia Qi was not surprised at all when the middle-aged uncle got his cell phone, because either the bookstore management or the police might hand it over to him.

After thinking about it, Xia Qi felt that it was necessary to go there again, at least to get his own things back.

"Okay, mom, let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to get my phone. If grandpa comes back, you must notify me as soon as possible..."

After hanging up the conversation with his mother, Xia Tian Qi hurriedly ate two bites of noodles, got off the plane and left the Internet cafe, then took a taxi to the golden office building.
