Chapter 13 12. Day 5 (early morning)

Going down the dark indoor stairs, Ji Ning tried not to make a sound. He quietly pushed open the bedroom door and groped his way to the bed.The eyes have adjusted to the darkness by this time.Before going to bed, Ji Ning naturally glanced at Doudou's sleeping side, trying to make sure he was fast asleep. The movement of him getting sideways on the bed stopped. On the other side of the bed, the blanket covered by Doudou was deflated, and no one was sleeping there. Ji Ning didn't know if he didn't see clearly in the dark, he leaned forward and gently pressed his hands on the quilt.

The sense of touch clearly told him that Doudou was indeed not on the bed! Ji Ning was stunned for two or three seconds, trying to figure out what was going on. Where did Doudou go? To the restroom?It was his first thought. In fact, other than going to the bathroom, he couldn't think of any other possibility. Sitting by the bed, Ji Ning hesitated for a moment, thinking that he should confirm it. He walked lightly towards the bathroom. When he came to the door of the bathroom, Ji Ning saw that the door was ajar, not closed, and there was light coming from inside. He breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Doudou was really going to the toilet.

Ji Ning yelled inside: "Doudou, are you inside?" no respond. He asked again: "Doudou, are you going to the toilet?" After waiting for a few seconds, no one answered.Ji Ning felt a little strange, and he slowly pushed open the bathroom door. The smallest light inside was on, and the light was a bit dim, but one could see at a glance that there was no one in the bathroom. Ji Ning's nerves tensed up - Doudou is not here, so where would he go?It's midnight now. Just when Ji Ning was about to turn around and leave, he caught a glimpse of the vanity mirror on the left side out of the corner of his eye, and he froze for a moment.

what is this? Ji Ning took a step back involuntarily, what he saw made his stomach tighten. A round, red -- symbol?Or is it a spell?Just paint on the mirror! When was this painted?Ji Ning thought in horror.He was sure he didn't have the damn thing in the shower because he looked in the mirror then. Suddenly, it occurred to him that there was only one person in the family who had this kind of paint. What is Doudou going to do?The fearful speculations in his mind sent chills down Ji Ning's spine.What does this red symbol mean? When Ji Ning looked over again, he felt that the red symbol on the mirror seemed to have some kind of magical power.Although he was frightened, he was still drawn to it.His legs dragged his body involuntarily.When he realized this, he was already standing in front of the mirror.

Now, he can see clearly. This is a complex pattern composed of circles and strange characters that cannot be understood. It seems to have some kind of frightening power. Ji Ning stared at this red symbol for a long time, and felt that his mind became a little uncontrollable.But at this moment, he heard a strange sound, and his scalp was clenched. A continuous and regular voice, someone is chanting some unintelligible words.Ji Ning gradually realized that it was Doudou's voice! What's going on - Ji Ning felt that he was about to faint from nervousness - where did the voice come from?Where is Doudou?

Ji Ning turned around in horror, looking around in the bathroom, unable to find the source of the sound.When his body turned back, he wanted to support the sink with one hand, but he accidentally pressed the switch of the faucet——with a "wow", a gust of cold water gushed out from the pipe, and the cold water splashed on his face. face and hands. Surprised by the cold water, he suddenly became a little sober, turned his head suddenly, and stared at the bathtub hidden behind the curtain. That's right, the sound came from behind here! Ji Ning walked over quickly, and lifted off the plastic curtain that impeded the water - and saw Doudou curled up in the bathtub!

Ji Ning was about to call him, when Doudou suddenly found that his eyes were closed, and only his lips were opening and closing, chanting that strange incantation.He was startled—could it be that Doudou was sleepwalking? Ji Ning hesitated, not knowing what to do for a while.He wanted to wake Doudou up, but he thought that he had read in a book that if he woke up a sleepwalking person, it might scare him out of his mind: But if you don't wake up Doudou , How long will he last in this terrifying state? By the way, first carry him to the bed. Ji Ning put his hands into the bathtub, hugged Doudou's body, hugged him out, turned and walked back.When he passed by that mirror, he couldn't help but take another look, but he didn't expect this look to scare him to pieces.

Beside the red talisman, there was an extra human face——it was my aunt's pale and terrifying face, staring at me just like on the day of the funeral! The blood in Ji Ning's body froze, and his hair stood on end.He wanted to scream, but found that the terrified scream was suppressed in his throat, making him unable to make a sound or move.After a few seconds, he frantically hugged Doudou and rushed to his room. After putting Doudou on the bed, Ji Ning quickly turned on the light in the room.At this time, Doudou had stopped making that strange sound, and fell asleep again.Ji Ning breathed heavily, closed and locked the door, then got into the quilt, teeth chattering up and down.

This is really terrible, he feels like he is going to be scared crazy! The light brought by the lights in the room made Ji Ning's terrified heart calm down a little after a few minutes.It occurred to him that the light in the bathroom had been left on, and the charm was still on the mirror—Mum would find out in the morning, and she would be terrified.However, he really didn't have the courage to go back to the bathroom to deal with these things... Let's wait until tomorrow morning to talk about everything. That night, Ji Ning kept the lights on in the room, and spent a frightening night in the alternation of insomnia and nightmares.
