Chapter 5 Chapter Four Falls Again

Some people say that squeezing the bus is a comprehensive sport that includes Sanda, yoga, judo, balance beam and other sports and fitness programs. I believe it now. Because I was in a hurry to go out, I didn't have time to call the car rental company, so after I got off the plane, I had to take the bus from the airport to the city. This is Wucheng, the headquarters of the Li Nuoyi family company. Since her parents died, taking advantage of her ignorance, Nuoyi's uncle and his wife forcibly seized her parents' perfume company and sent Li Nuoyi to a terrifying juvenile misbehavior correction center. go.And that weird school is where I met her.

Afterwards, the old woman Lin Zhiyan gave me a big gift for my face, secretly collected evidence, and threw Li Nuoyi's uncle and his wife into prison for the crime of rape. This smart and weak girl with a strong heart did not hold the company tightly in her hands.After breaking up the company's family system, she openly hired a CEO to manage it, and she followed my footsteps from Canada to Germany, and from Germany back to Canada, probably planning to completely rely on me aside. "Speaking of which, why didn't you call and ask the company to send a car to pick us up?" I depressedly pushed the people around me away, there were people everywhere, and I hadn't taken a bus for many years, which made me very uncomfortable.

Li Nuoyi enjoyed it, she just put her whole body in my arms, euphemistically saying that a delicate girl should be protected by her fiancé.She was smiling all over her face, her soft hands hugged my waist tightly, and she was so happy that she died. "There are still some bugs in the company that haven't been transferred out. I'm afraid I'll lose my appetite." "It seems that your company has a lot of problems. Is it really okay? It's dangerous to ignore everything. Don't be framed by some people with ulterior motives!" I frowned. "Are you worried about me anymore? Hee hee" Li Nuoyi raised her head slightly, "I'm not afraid, as long as you stay by A Ye's side, you will help me solve any problems."

My head was full of black lines, "You are lazier than me. Speaking of which, when did I become your fiancé?" "You have asked this question eleven times from the plane to the present." .” She moved her soft and boneless body into my arms again. "Of course, you are not my fiancé until you get rid of Sister Mengyue. However, I will try my best to get rid of her." Now, just put on a show and help me deal with the people in my hometown. "You won't look at me pitifully ashamed, will you? The legal heir of a big company is almost nineteen years old, and he doesn't even have a fiancé. It's a very embarrassing thing in my hometown!" She pretended to be provocative. With a pitiful look, she looked at me with big eyes, but unfortunately I don't like this at all.

"What does it mean to just settle the guardian girl? Ignore my opinion completely. Do I have to marry you? Well, of course, if there is any private transaction between you and Li Mengyue, I can think about it a little bit." I really care about this matter. When I think about it, it feels like my heart is being crawled by thousands of ants, and it itches badly. "When the time comes, I will definitely tell you. It is still a secret between me and her." Li Nuoyi stuck out her tongue cutely, and pressed her face to my chest in a very feminine way. "As for the question of whether to marry me... Ah Ye, you really don't have self-knowledge. You are a girl killer recognized by the entire detective agency, yes, literally! A killer who kills girls, and also has a serious wife All the girls I liked are dead, and only my sister Mengyue and I are still alive."

"If one day you still want to get married, you can only choose one of us. When I get Sister Mengyue, do you have any other choice besides marrying me?" , Many past events that I had been deliberately suppressing and didn't want to recall came to my mind, and my mood suddenly fell to the extreme. "I'm sorry, did I hurt you?" Li Nuoyi obviously sensed my emotions, she hugged me with great regret, and murmured: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. But you still have me, even if Even if I die, I will never leave you." "never mind." I suddenly felt that everything was boring, and forced a smile: "It's not writing a romance novel, it's just taking a bus, it makes it look like a Qiong Yao drama, it's disgusting."

"But I haven't been alone with Ah Ye for a long time, and I'm really getting carried away." Li Nuoyi suddenly pulled me towards the door, "Come on, there are still some interesting things in this city. I'll show you around." At the next stop, we got off the bus.Find a car rental company and drive around. "I have a deep memory of this lake." In the Central Park of Wucheng, we sat quietly on a bench by the lake.With the breeze blowing, Li Nuoyi scratched her long black hair and took a deep breath. "At that time, my parents were still alive, and they had just come to this city to develop, and this park was not free. At that time, the ticket price was equivalent to a half of the salary of my parents. Watching the happy children coming in and out at the door, I'm very hungry."

"However, I didn't say anything. Dad gritted his teeth, gave me money, and let me go to the park to play. Counting it, that was the happiest day in my next ten years." "When my family got richer, but I became more and more unhappy. I seldom saw my parents. Except for the servants, there was only empty furniture in the house. I ate alone and slept alone, and the driver drove me up and down on time. Study, bored to death." "Then suddenly, my parents died in a car accident, leaving behind a huge company and me alone. All relatives were watching that company, and I was exhausted from coping."

Li Nuoyi stretched out her hand and hugged my arm, "Uncle's family, I actually don't hate it. If they hadn't thrown me into that weird school, I'm afraid I wouldn't have met you, Aye, my life There is only intrigue left. Well, no, maybe in that school, I have died." I listened to her talk in silence, no wonder she insisted on coming in when driving to Central Park, it turned out that she had such deep memories.Happy families are similar; every troubled family has its own reasons.My home, why not.Cold and filled with all kinds of disgusting loneliness. "Fortunately, I met Ah Ye, and everything in my life changed."

Li Nuoyi leaned her head on my shoulder tightly, as if afraid that I would disappear suddenly, "I have a goal in life, and I am no longer decadent. As long as I stay by your side, nothing matters. You , is my happiness." Li Nuoyi closed her eyes, and when she opened them, her blissful expression suddenly froze.The arm she was holding seemed to be stiff, she glanced at it dully from the corner of her eye, and let it go in fright. What was in contact with her hand was Ye Silent's arm, it was simply a piece of wood, a piece of dead wood that was extremely decayed and full of maggots.

Looking around again, I don't know when, a layer of fog formed by the lake.Ye Silent disappeared, and the surrounding environment became strange.Here, it is definitely not the emerald green lakeside of Central Park, but a barren pond without any reflection. The endless pond in front of you is overgrown with weeds, and the reeds are blooming everywhere as far as the eye can see.A gust of wind blows, and dandelion-like reed seeds fly up, covering the sky and covering the sky. Some fall into the water and float quietly on the water surface, while more fly to the distance. Inexplicably, Li Nuoyi felt that such a scene seemed somewhat familiar.Damn it is inexplicable again in a strange space.This time it came very abruptly, where's Ah Ye?Where did he go?Is it just me who is caught in the weird space?She didn't dare to move, and just stayed where she was.The huge courtyard house last time also gave me a familiar feeling, and the reed pond this time also feels familiar.What exactly did I provoke recently, and how could I be pulled into these ghost places by some kind of force again and again. When boarding the plane, Li Nuoyi discussed her situation with Ye Buyu.He once mentioned that it is possible that he encountered the "mysterious disappearance of human beings", which is the so-called ghost pull people. The surroundings are quiet, without any sound, as if both of my ears are deaf.Li Nuoyi patted his ears lightly, but still didn't hear anything. Dead silence is the only word that can describe the surrounding environment. The position of the sun could not be seen in the gray sky, and she could no longer bear this state of silence.So Li Nuoyi took a few steps forward, his exposed skin was strangely unable to feel the breeze of the wind and the flow of air.Everything in this world seems so unreal. No, there seems to be something wrong. Li Nuoyi turned her head abruptly, and there was nothing alive behind her except for the weeds. Turning her head again, she still couldn't find any strange existence, but the feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense, just like those two paper It's the same sense of crisis that emerges from the bottom of my heart when people chase her. There is also a creepy feeling lingering in her heart now, her brain is warning her, constantly reminding him that his life is in danger. who is it?Or something wanted her life?That thing is right behind her!Li Nuoyi turned around a few times, but still failed to find out the thing that threatened her life.She had goose bumps all over her body, and the boundless chill stuck to her skin, as if her whole body had been submerged in biting ice water. A shadow, a shadow!Finally, Li Nuoyi noticed something was wrong, it was the shadow. There will be no sun in the sky tomorrow, so where is the shadow under my feet?She bent down with numbness and looked at her own shadow. The shadow was connected to the heel of the leather shoe in contact with the ground, dragging a long shadow like a crooked eighty-year-old man.The shadow stretched out its dry arms like claws, and its fingers slowly approached her neck inch by inch like knives. It was the first time in Li Nuoyi's history that her mind was so clear. She knew clearly that if she pinched her neck with a finger at that time, it might be the time of her death. don't want to die!I haven't married Ah Ye yet, and I haven't given birth to a few children for him. I really don't want to die like this!Li Nuoyi's desire to survive swelled, and she ran on the lake stand in panic, trying to shake off the shadow behind her, but how could the shadow be shaken off, it was still stuck to the sole of her shoe like brown sugar, and her claws were still invisible. Noisily grabbing her neck. "How could this be, calm down, you must be calm, there must be a way to get rid of the shadow!" Li Nuoyi panted heavily, she was panicked and panicked, and finally she couldn't run anymore because of lack of energy.Her eyes wandered in this stereotyped world, and then stopped at the dirty lake water. Some people say that shadows can be formed without the sun.Even in the absolute darkness deprived of sight, hearing, and touch, the shadows in this world cannot disappear.After all, human beings are a luminous body, with light and shadows, the shadow of the luminous body itself will still be used by that thing. So now he can only keep the shadow away from his body. I am afraid that escaping into the water is the only way he can think of so far. When swimming, the shadow is attached to the bottom of the swimming pool and cannot be in contact with the body. It's just the rules of this world, will it be the same?Li Nuoyi was horrified to see that those claws were only two centimeters away from her fair neck.Maybe tens of seconds later, she will be killed by that shadow. To fight, or not to fight?Perhaps, most of the multiple choice questions in the world have only one answer.When the black shadow was about to touch her, Li Nuoyi gritted her teeth and jumped down. I saw with my own eyes that Li Nuoyi, who was telling her life, disappeared into the air within two seconds while holding my arm. My eyes widened, my mind went blank, and by the time I realized it, I could no longer find her. This is like another piece of information about the "mysterious disappearance of human beings" that I have seen. It was Christmas Eve in 1890, in the northern part of Tennessee, near South Beit, Illinois. The disappearance of Oliver, the second son of Li Qi's family, was twenty years old at the time, and the circumstances of Oliver's disappearance were so dramatic that even outsiders would shudder. On that day, Li Qi's family invited more than 20 relatives and friends to enjoy a rich and lively Christmas dinner. At that time, even in the United States, rural people like this did not have running water on their homes, and the household water was taken from the well in the courtyard.After dinner, the guests all returned to the living room to gossip. Mrs. Leech, who was busy cleaning up the kitchen, found that there was no water in the storage tank, so she replaced her second son, Oliver, and told him, "Go get some water." Oliver picked up the bucket and went out. Then, about two or three minutes later, there was a sudden piercing wail from outside. "Help me! Help me! Catch me! Save me!" The guests were all shocked by the sudden cry for help, and they all ran towards the yard where the sound came from, but there was no Oliver there. shadow. From the kitchen to the well, you can clearly see that the footprints on the snow stop abruptly only in the middle of the courtyard.Of course, this proves that Oliver has not walked to the well, and it is impossible to fall into the well and die. However, just above the people, there was still a cry of "Help! Help!"Everyone looked up, but in the dim sky, they couldn't see anything. In the huge courtyard, there was only one bucket that fell to the ground.The cry seemed to be coming from the sky for a while, but it was quiet again after a while.Thus disappeared the young boy Oliver Leech. As for the twenty or so people present who heard Oliver's call from the sky, what did it mean?Oliver cried clearly, "Take it. Help me!" That was the problem. In science fiction, there are so-called transparent people, that is, after taking a special drug, the human body will become transparent, making it impossible for ordinary people to see with the naked eye. This is the idea of ​​Europeans. In ancient China, there was also the saying of invisibility. However, invisibility is not to make the human body disappear, but to use smoke and other blinding methods to hide in the dark when others are not paying attention, so as to achieve the effect of invisibility. In a word, transparent people are just fantasy after all, and it is impossible to exist in real life.Ke Li Nuoyi's disappearance was under my nose from beginning to end, so similar to this story. I stayed where I was, overwhelmed, and suddenly felt useless.Twice, two full times, Li Nuoyi fell into the phenomenon of "ghost pulling people", and I could only watch her disappear without a trace, but I couldn't do anything. Damn, what is the cause of the weird events surrounding her!I stood up and kept circling on that bench in Central Park. Round and round, still nothing, I sat back on the bench again helplessly, I sighed, and looked up at the sky.The sun on the dark blue sky shone on this tired world, and the strange events that happened in broad daylight made him even more powerless. This time I really have no way to help Li Nuoyi, I can only rely on her. Looking at the watch on her wrist, the pointer pointed to 11:45 in the morning, three minutes had passed since she disappeared. I forced myself to stay calm and planned to stay near this bench for a long time.When Li Nuoyi appeared in an hour, I waited for an hour. When she appeared in half a day, I waited for half a day. When she appeared in half a day, I waited for half a year.Now, the only thing I can do is this. Under the heat of Central Park, the cicadas were screaming shrilly on the willow trees. After I waited silently for more than ten minutes, I saw a series of bubbles suddenly appearing from the lake a few meters away.I rubbed my eyes, and suddenly, a girl jumped out from the bottom of the water, vaguely looking like Li Nuoyi. I stood up excitedly, and it really was Li Nuoyi!She kept struggling on the surface of the water, paddling feebly with meaningless movements, she was so exhausted that she was about to sink... No, no, I don't know if it was an illusion, but I clearly saw a mass of dark The shadow grabbed her ankle and pulled her down hard. "Hold on!" I jumped into the water and hugged her up. The lake looked deep, but it was actually very shallow, only up to my waist.Blinking my eyes, I looked down at her vigorously, the shadow was still a shadow, very ordinary.Is it really an illusion? "Aye." Li Nuoyi struggled to open her eyes, her face was pale, and she was limp in my arms as if she had collapsed.A few seconds before she fainted, she said in a faint and weak voice: "The shadow wants to kill me. Curses, those curses are all from my hometown. Take me back to Liluo Village..." Liluo Village?Curse from her old home?How is this going?Did Li Nuoyi discover some key things when he disappeared?She said that the shadow wanted to kill her. Is the so-called shadow the one I saw just now?So what I saw wasn't an illusion?I tried to recall the appearance of that shadow, as if it was a hunched old man with shriveled limbs and hands like claws.It seemed to want to pull Li Nuoyi into the bottom of the lake and drown her. It seems that the answer to the mystery still needs to go to her hometown to solve it.I hated my powerlessness just now, and secretly swore that I must dig out all the people who cursed Li Nuoyi, and let them have a terrible death!
