Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Goosebumps

Why do people get goosebumps? According to scientific research, it is because when people feel cold or scared, goose bumps will naturally appear on the body.The scientific name of goosebumps is piloerection. The tiny muscles at the root of each body hair combine to look like little bumps growing on the human body. Goosebumps had practical significance long, long ago, when humans had natural "fur coats."After the hair becomes fluffy, the air between the hairs acts as an insulator to keep the body warm. Ruffing up hair is a threat to predators or enemies, and cats will bow and prick their hair when facing a dog.

Evolution has made human hair thinner and thinner.Now, of course, goosebumps are not a medical problem. If you don't like showing off your degenerated organs and getting goosebumps all over your body, you can dress warmly, stay in a quiet environment, and avoid being frightened. But Chu Yun has been getting goose bumps lately, no matter how thick she is wearing, no matter whether she stays indoors or not, the goose bumps keep popping up. Gradually, she discovered that perhaps the cause of her goosebumps was not the cold.When a cat sees a dog, its fur all over its body will stand on end. It is so afraid that it gets goosebumps.And what about myself?Could it be because of fear?

Then what are you afraid of? she does not know.There was nothing nearby to frighten her. No dogs, no suspicious strange uncles, and no robbers on the overpass. So Chu Yun is very troubled, the human body really carries too many mysteries, maybe this is one of them. However, things often don't develop as expected.Things happened for a reason, and there must be no groundless rumors. Chu Yun gradually discovered that the goosebumps on her body had a certain regularity. She thinks that since the causal relationship stated on the surface of things is not established, it is better not to be confused by the false causal relationship on the surface, and to find the real reason behind it from the superficial phenomenon.

So Chu Yun planned to spend a Sunday to find out the cause and law of her goosebumps. On February 22nd, not long after the New Year's Eve, Chu Yun woke up early in the morning. She got dressed and simply set up the work schedule for tomorrow. When Chu Yun was in college, she dropped out of school due to some reasons and started to work early, but it was also because she didn't have a diploma that it was really hard to find a job.In addition, she had to provide for her younger sister to go to school and support her, so Chu Yun cherished her current job even more. Breakfast is also very simple, a piece of toast and a cup of milk heated in a microwave.I looked at my watch, it was six o'clock in the morning, the morning sun was only dimly reflected from the window, and the outside world could no longer be seen clearly from a slightly further distance.

After walking out the door, I realized that there was a not so thick mist in the morning. Although Yushi Township is only a small village, it is famous far and near for its production and processing of jade, and a large number of people from all over the country flock to buy jade.The economic situation is good, so even a small village develops as prosperous as a medium-sized city. Chu Yun wrapped her coat tightly and took a light breath.It's very cold. The weather this year is a bit abnormal. This place has a subtropical climate. In previous years, the temperature in February should have warmed up long ago, but this year it is still as cold as deep winter.

She hurried back to the house and added another scarf before going out the door. The mist rolled around her. On this cold morning, the sun was light and dark, and Chu Yun felt as if she was in another world.She walked step by step along the usual way to work, slowly, as if taking a walk. There was no one on the street, which was a good feeling.In another two hours, after people get up and go out, this empty street will probably be full of crowded vehicles and pedestrians. Usually sitting in the car, I don't think that the street looks so wide when it is really empty. Chu Yun brought her hands to her mouth and let out a breath, it was really cold!

After walking like this for about ten minutes, suddenly, she felt the goosebumps all over her body stand up, she lowered her head and opened the sleeves, and clearly saw the goosebumps on her arms popping out at a rapid speed, Without any warning, it just appeared so inexplicably. Is there a problem with your own physical condition?Nothing stimulated her!I wasn't frightened, and my body didn't feel cold. Chu Yun looked around and found that she was standing at the entrance of Yushi Township Central Hospital. The bright red signboard of the hospital was clearly visible in the fog, and it looked so cold at this moment, which made her shiver involuntarily.

It's strange, I don't know when, Chu Yun began to feel that the hospital has become cold and scary, as long as there is nothing to do, she would rather take a detour than pass by its door. I don't know, it shouldn't be long.After all, I only had a drip in this hospital for a cold more than a month ago. At that time, I didn't feel the abnormal feeling now. Shaking off the doubts in her heart, Chu Yun continued to walk forward.The strange thing is that after leaving the hospital, the goosebumps on my body gradually loosened up. After walking for about eight minutes, for no reason, goosebumps all over her body appeared again.

This time, it was at the gate of Yushi Township Primary School. Weird, really weird.Some people on the Internet say that hospitals and schools are the places with the heaviest yin qi, and they are most likely to attract ghosts and foul qi. Could it be that I have suddenly become a physique that can feel ghosts?Speaking of which, I heard that this school was still a mass grave ten years ago, it was gloomy and scary. Chu Yun thought jokingly. Continue to go forward and come to the intersection of a street.This is the downtown area of ​​Yushi Township, and it is also the central trading area. This is the busiest place in this small village, and all jade trading is carried out here.

Just walk through this street, turn another fifty meters or so, and you will arrive at the office building where she usually works. There is no pedestrian crossing on this main road, and the only way to cross the street is to use a pedestrian bridge. To be honest, Chu Yun didn't like this bridge.Just because it is across the sky of the roadway, it compresses the routes of the residents on both sides of the street into this small passage of fifteen meters long and three meters wide, so this is also a place where vendors fight for every inch of land. During the day, those peddlers sell all kinds of counterfeit products and obscene CDs on the overpass, and there are many scammers who use various excuses to trick the money in your pocket and passbook into his trouser pocket.

At night, here is the best place for all kinds of sex transactions.Prostitutes are scattered on the bridge waiting for business, and some immoral homosexuals are also looking for one-night stands here to spread AIDS. In the middle of the night, many bachelorettes and prostitutes were robbed, raped and then killed on this bridge. All of these are the reasons why Chu Yun hates this flyover. Of course, there is the most important point, as long as she gets on this kind of bridge, she will be inexplicably afraid. Standing in front of the stairs of the overpass, Chu Yun took a deep breath before walking up slowly. "Ah!" As soon as she got on the bridge, she suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart. She always felt that something was different about this overpass that had been walked countless times. The bridge was still the same bridge, and the white mist continued to roll around her, covering all the scenery not far away.There was a dead silence all around, no sound, only the hollow sound of her own high-heeled shoes trampling on the ground echoed in this space. What's different? Chu Yun's eyes searched around, it was strange, there was no difference.Could it be that it has been a long time since I got up so early, and I have a vague sense of strangeness to the bridge in the early morning? She was about to move forward when suddenly, a chill came over her.At that moment, goosebumps all over his body popped out like crazy, more intense than ever. Chu Yun felt a deep sense of fear in her heart for no reason, as if there was something not far away that frightened her. But the things on the flyover are clear at a glance, and the ground is also clean and clear.Nearby, there was nothing that could threaten her. No, not right. In the middle of the overpass, there seemed to be a black shadow in the billowing fog. Chu Yun rubbed her eyes, she was right, there was indeed a black shadow.The shadow floated in the air, floating with the rolling mist. As if sensing Chu Yun's gaze, the black figure slowly turned around. God!What kind of thing is that! Chu Yun was horrified to find that she saw a face, a face of a woman floating in the air. That face has been distorted and deformed, with horrifying resentment, and the two eye sockets are dark, without anything.She grinned ferociously, and her pale tongue hung down long, almost falling to the ground. Chu Yun rubbed her eyes vigorously, no, it wasn't dazzled.No matter how you look at it, the head of the woman in front of you is still real, not an illusion in the subjective consciousness. No, it must not be aware that it has seen it. Subconsciously, such a thought popped up deep in Chu Yun's heart.She wanted to turn around and run, but that would reveal the fact that she had seen it. calm down!calm down!I don't know what kind of evil I bumped into, but I can suddenly see ghosts.According to the experience of so many horror novels, it is said that as long as you don't pay attention to this kind of objective existence, let it not know that you can see it, nothing will happen. The terrifying female head slowly floated towards her, and as it approached, the goosebumps on Chu Yun's body came out faster and faster.Only then did she realize that after a long time of messing around, the reason for her inexplicable and unexplained goosebumps turned out to be this. Does every goosebump signal a sign that a ghost is passing by? When Chu Yun thought of the experience of getting goosebumps countless times in the recent period, her whole body shivered with cold. The human head was getting closer and closer to her. Although she knew that the thing in front of her would not have a smell, there was still an unbearable stench in her nostrils. Chu Yun's heartbeat speeded up, and she had to keep a calm mind and move forward step by step. This was an inhuman torture.The female ghost's head seemed to be very interested in her. It floated in front of her eyes, and looked at Chu Yun's eyes with empty, cold eyes. Can't see!Just pretend you can't see it! Chu Yun murmured silently in her heart. The female ghost smiled miserably, and her pale tongue, more than one meter long, quickly rolled up like a snake, and licked her face vigorously. This sudden movement scared Chu Yun's heart almost out of her chest. Her heart was beating wildly, but she felt something sticky and wet like kelp swept across her face, rubbing against the ghost's tongue and her own. Between the face, there is still a long stretch of elastic and disgusting yellow mucus. In an instant, the stench in the nostrils became more intense. Normal heart!Normal heart!Can't see!Can't see! Chu Yun suppressed the discomfort and nausea in her heart, and tried her best to show a calm tone on her face.She walked to the middle of the overpass, suddenly tapped her head with her right hand, stuck out her tongue and tried to pretend to blame herself and said to herself: "Oops, look at my memory, I forgot my briefcase!" She sighed, turned around and walked back, and said, "It's unlucky, I have to go back and get it. The boss is really serious. He actually asked him to go to work so early. With his little salary, it's easy for me!" As he said that, he walked slowly to the stairs of the overpass and walked down slowly. It took about a century before Chu Yun reached the position where she could no longer see the bridge. She looked around carefully, and finally let out a long sigh of relief, and said softly, beating her throbbing chest, "Fortunately, I didn't chase after you, huh, Miss Ben will resign tomorrow, it's too scary, and I won't leave there again." It’s an overpass. Go to a temple with good incense today and ask a Buddha to wear it on your body first!” Facts are often not as simple and easy to understand as imagined. Just when she thought it was safe, a strand of long hair suddenly fell from the sky, the female ghost grinned ferociously, and stared at her with empty eyes. Chu Yun was so frightened that she almost died, and was about to pretend to be calm.The head laughed sternly, and the piercing voice filled the empty street. "You can see me!" the female ghost screamed sharply. "You can see me!" The decibels of the screams became higher and higher, and the female ghost opened her huge mouth that couldn't be bigger, as if she wanted to swallow her whole alive. Chu Yun couldn't pretend anymore, she screamed, waving her hands wildly in the air, turned around and fled in the opposite direction of her head. After running away like this for an unknown how long, Chu Yun was so exhausted that she was out of breath and could no longer run.She clutched her waist and leaned on the wall with her right hand, panting hard. "Did you catch up? Shouldn't you?" She looked around in shock.Fortunately, there was no shadow of that head. The fog on the street has dissipated a lot, and the white fog has become thinner, as hazy as the silk clothes of the city, with a little mystery.But in the eyes of Chu Yun now, the deserted streets, cities and fog are full of strong strangeness and danger. Chu Yun didn't know what happened to her?Not only do I love to get goosebumps recently, but today I'm really alive!If this continues, it's no wonder that her fragile nerves are not destroyed and go crazy. Fortunately, it's almost dawn, and the book says that after the sun comes out, ghosts and ghosts will hide! Chu Yun took a deep breath, straightened her body, and prepared to walk to the main road with more traffic. But where is this? When she was really about to leave, she suddenly found herself in an extremely strange place. Although Yushi Township has a relatively developed economy and rapid urban development, the streets are built on the basis of the township level after all, and the planning is not complicated.There are only a few main roads that come and go. For a person like her who has been in this ghostly place for several years, the road in the Xiangzhong District is not familiar, at least it can be regarded as knowing the basics, no matter what, she will not be unaware, but now Chu Yun had never been to the place. Is there really this small alley in Xiangzhong District? This is a very deep alley, the streets on both sides are very old, the alley is paved with blue stone slabs, very similar to the thousand-year-old town on TV. Chu Yun was a little scared. She tightened her coat and looked back. The streets behind her were extending in all directions, and she didn't know which one was the way to go back.It seems that we still have to move forward. So she swallowed, gritted her teeth, and walked forward step by step. The alley is very deep, I don't know how long I walked, the light is getting lower and lower, and the light coming in from nowhere, dragging the shadows on both sides of the alley very long. Chu Yun was the only one walking the whole alley, it was empty and scary. The fog dissipated at some point, Chu Yun's high-heeled shoes stepped on the bluestone slab, and the sound was hollow, almost every time she touched her own heartbeat and nerves. The alley continued to extend in front of my eyes, straight, and I didn't know where it would end. Chu Yun felt that she was about to go crazy. The length of this road was probably several times longer than that of the Xiangzhong District. If there were such an alley near the Xiangzhong District, it would have been excavated and developed by the developer long ago. The jade promenade is gone, why bother to demolish the old street opposite the overpass. Based on Chu Yun's experience in jade trading in Yushi Township for so long, she can understand with her knees that this place is more suitable for the jade corridor plan that some developers dream of.What's more, after walking for so long, I didn't see a single window or door. There were only walls, bluestone brick walls made of the same material as the bluestone slabs on the ground. Based on this alone, it should be understood that things are definitely not simple.I'm afraid, this alley really doesn't exist on the map! Chu Yun turned around and looked behind her, only to see that in the distance behind her, the road was piercing straight into the darkness, the straight darkness, the darkness like a nightmare, just looking at it would make people shudder. Sure enough, there is no way out at all, and we can only move forward. Chu Yun turned her head and was suddenly taken aback.The seemingly endless alley just now has come to an end when I look back. Not far away is a dead end, built high with towering bluestone bricks.She looked up, but she couldn't see the sky. There was only a gap in an alley extending upwards, and then upwards, there was a billowing white mist. She smiled wryly, and her heart was already numb.Since early in the morning, he has encountered strange things, and he has provoked whom. Suddenly, she felt something passing by her ear.Chu Yun turned her head to look, but saw nothing. But the goose bumps all over his body popped out like crazy, as if he had encountered extreme cold. Hair, strands of black long hair, black and shiny hair like ink, hanging from the top of the head...
