Chapter 40 end
A few days later, this appalling case of murder and mutilation finally stopped hiding and concealing, and its solution made the case appear on the front pages of major local newspapers.It's just that people don't think that when they talked about this terrible incident in horror, the heroine they said had disappeared from their field of vision.She quietly left the city that left her with painful memories that can never be erased.
After quitting her job and saying goodbye to her only friend, the single woman with chills and trembling boarded the first express train in the morning.
She was lying in the sleeper car, feeling really tired.She is tired of being a tenant in a different place, and she wants to go back to that place full of affection, warmth and care.There, she doesn't have to have suspicions and doubts, and her body and mind can be completely relaxed.If she has any energy left now, she just wants to do one thing - tell everyone - the place I want to return to now is no longer a "residence", but my home.
(Finish)
The dark fire story is over.In fact, he noticed something in the process of speaking. The expressions of the audience did not seem quite right. Their eyes widened, and some were even dumbfounded.Now, he could finally ask, "What's wrong with you? Why are you all staring at me?" In fact, the listeners, like the narrator, almost wanted to interrupt the story halfway and tell him an important thing, but out of politeness or surprise, they didn't speak (and it was too late).Now, they finally couldn't bear it anymore, and several people shouted almost at the same time: "Dark Fire, your story is fouled!" Dark Fire's face suddenly changed color—at first, he thought they had this expression because they were too absorbed in listening to his horror stories—now this sentence, like a thunderbolt, made him speechless in shock.After a while, he asked in amazement: "What do you mean by...? How did I make a foul?" Qian Qiu seemed a little anxious: "Didn't you hear what we were talking about in the morning? It was what appeared in your story!" Ryoma reminded Qianqiu: "Did you forget? In the morning—in fact, during the whole day, Dark Fire didn't come downstairs!" Qianqiu let out an "ah". "It seems that he didn't hear that voice last night." Goth said. Darkfire looked at them for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Stop playing charades there! What the hell is going on? Tell me! Why is my story foul?" "Calm down, Dark Fire." Nan Tian said to him, "It's like this. Last night, at least seven of us heard the sound of running in the hall. The footsteps were fast and slow, and then stopped suddenly—just It's similar to the plot of the story you just told!" Dark Fire's face was pale, his mouth was tongue-tied, and his eyes were almost bursting open.He asked incredulously, "Is there such a thing? Why didn't any of you tell me?" "You didn't come down all day, and you didn't come out of the room until near seven o'clock. We didn't have time to tell you anything." Sajia said helplessly, "Besides, how could we have thought that your story just happened to happen last night? something similar?" "Finally getting to the point." A young and calm voice came from Chris. "Why is there such a surprising overlap between the story of the dark fire and the reality-I don't think you will think it is a coincidence?" "That's right, it can't be a coincidence." Lake said with shame, "Looking at it now, what happened last night is almost as if it happened to frame Hidden Fire, what a hell!" "But if that's the case, it doesn't make sense." Chris said, "Of the 13 of us, 7 people heard the voice, and the other 6 people said they didn't hear it. Two questions arise - one, how did that person know that the same would happen in Darkfire's story? Second, if Darkfire had heard that voice last night, it obviously wouldn't have been set up like this in the story The plot of the story—how can that person be sure that Dark Fire will not hear it?" "According to what you said, it wasn't someone who deliberately framed Dark Fire, but you said that it would never be a coincidence. Then I want to hear your analysis. What do you think is going on, little genius?" Arakaki provoked looking at Chris. Chris rolled his eyes and asked, "Dark Fire, did you sleep deeply?" "It's normal." An Vulcan said absentmindedly, appearing anxious. "If it was louder, I should be able to hear it." "The character in your story joggs at night, or makes the sound of jogging—how did you come up with that?" Hearing Chris's question, Dark Fire suddenly opened his mouth wide, as if remembering something very important: "That's right! I came up with such a plot because I was inspired by the dream I had last night!" Chris stared into Dark Fire's eyes, grasping this important clue: "What kind of dream did you have?" Dark Fire thought about it carefully: "There is no specific content, but it is composed of some absurd fragments. It's just that in the dream, there was a plot like running in the middle of the night. After I woke up, I thought this point was very good, so I created it based on this. a story." "In your dream, who was running in the middle of the night?" "...It seems to be me." "Did you have a dream, and you can remember most of the content after waking up?" "Basically it can." "Have you ever been in a similar situation before? I mean, have you ever written a novel about the content of your dreams before?" "Yes." Dark Fire nodded. "In fact, this is a special habit of mine-since I can always remember the content of dreams clearly, and I often have dreams that can provide me with inspiration, so several of my novels are written in this way .” Chris nodded slightly.After a pause for a few seconds, he asked a question that shocked everyone: "Have you ever sleepwalked before?" Darkfire--everyone, in fact--was taken aback.Dark Fire was beyond terrified: "You...you mean by asking...you think it was me last night..." Chris stared into Dark Fire's eyes: "What do you think? Is there such a possibility?" "Impossible!" Darkfire yelled, "I've never sleepwalked before!" The hall was silent for a few seconds.Xia Houshen gave a dry cough. "I read it in a book before—some people don't sleepwalk under normal circumstances, but if they are in a special environment or encounter certain special situations, they may sleepwalk. And he himself didn't sleepwalk at all. I don't know." Dark Fire responded angrily, "Whether I sleepwalk or not, I know for myself!" "The question is, how can you be so sure you're not sleepwalking?" Ryoma said. "As far as I know, people who sleepwalk—unless they're awakened—don't know they've sleepwalked." Dark Fire opened his mouth slightly, appearing hesitant to speak.He frowned and bit his lower lip tightly, as if he was struggling fiercely in his heart.After a long while, he slowly uttered a sentence: "Actually, the reason why I am so clear that I am definitely not sleepwalking is because...someone can help me prove it." This statement made everyone startled.Beidou asked curiously: "Who can prove it?" Dark Fire fell silent, and his eyes quickly scanned the crowd, apparently secretly searching and observing the person who could "prove" him.But that person didn't come forward, and Dark Fire didn't further point out who that person was—no doubt, there must be something hidden in it. After about a minute, Qianqiu broke the silence: "I think, since An Huo doesn't want to say anything, let's not pursue this matter. He said he didn't sleepwalk, so he didn't." White Whale sneered and said, "That's strange—all of us didn't admit that we went downstairs last night. It can't be haunted, can it?" "Someone is up to something," Ryoma said. "It's obvious that one of us isn't telling the truth." "Actually, in this weird place, even if it's really haunted, it's not surprising." Xia Houshen said disapprovingly. Shajia hugged her shoulders and shivered: "Mr. Xiahou, don't say such things, it's already scary enough." Besides her, several other people also showed expressions of fear and anxiety. Dark Fire suddenly stood up and said, "I want... to go back to my room and take a rest." "This story hasn't been graded yet," Nan Tian reminded. "Forget it, there's no need to grade." Dark Fire left a sentence and went straight upstairs.It can be seen that he is not in the mood to care about this issue now. Everyone watched him leave, and then they all dispersed.This matter can only be left alone now-everything seems so suspicious and bizarre, the only thing that is certain is-another inexplicable "foul" has been added. In the middle of the night, Dark Fire paced the house restlessly, violating the rules of the game made him tense and unable to sleep.Some incomprehensible questions have always troubled him. Last night, he was with someone. Only he and that person know about this matter. Looking back now, he thinks there may be fraud in it.Was that person approaching him for some purpose?Maybe it was to frame him? But—he frowned and shook his head involuntarily—it was impossible, he and that person were together most of the night.If anyone was out and about late at night, it was obviously not either of them. Could it be that I was really sleepwalking?He doubted himself.But then he thought, if this is the case, it is impossible for the person with him not to know. damn it!what the hell is it?He scratched his head anxiously, feeling irritated by these incomprehensible things.However, at this moment, he heard light footsteps coming from downstairs.His body tensed up, and the hairs all over his body stood up.He quickly realized one thing. The person walking downstairs last night was indeed not me! So, who is this person? Now, the answer is right outside the door. The sound of footsteps is still there, as long as you open the door and go out, you can immediately know what's going on.At the same time, it can also prove to others that he does not sleepwalk. Darkfire's heart was pounding wildly, and he told himself that he had to calm down—this might be a trap!The terrifying sound of footsteps in the dark night sounded like ghosts leading people into hell, full of danger and signs of death.If you go out now, you may uncover the mystery, or you may die in Huangquan. Without much hesitation, Dark Fire knew in his heart that the sound of footsteps would not last long.Finally, he finally made a decision-to fight it out!Even at the risk of his life, he must figure out what's going on! The door opened tremblingly, and the sound became more and more obvious, like heavy hammers hitting the heart of Dark Fire.Now he could clearly tell that the footsteps were downstairs, to be precise, right below where he was standing. The room with the dark fire turned on revealed a faint light, somewhat illuminating the dark hall.Dark Fire's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and he looked around vigilantly, but he didn't see anyone else coming out of the room except him.These cowards!He cursed in his heart, his eyes fixed on the downstairs.However, the person who made the footsteps seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with him, just hiding directly below and not showing up.Dark Fire was anxious and frightened, but there was nothing he could do. Suddenly, he heard the footsteps change direction, as if... walking towards the stairs.His heart clenched - the location of his room was just next to the stairs on the right.Now, the horrible footsteps were approaching him. Step by step, the voice was getting closer.Dark Fire judged in horror that in ten seconds at most, that person would appear in front of him from the stairs.Darkfire had never been so nervous before, he desperately restrained himself from shouting or vomiting, he even wanted to run back to the room immediately and hide like a turtle.But I'm afraid it's too late, his whole body was paralyzed by the intense fear, and he could barely move his body. Just when that person was about to show up, the footsteps stopped suddenly. Dark Fire's heart also temporarily stopped beating. A few seconds later, the footsteps sounded again, and it sounded like they were walking in the opposite direction. Darkfire doesn't understand what's going on at all - if he still maintains the ability to think, the only thing he can think of is - that "voice" senses that there is someone on the stairs, and he (she) doesn't want to reveal his identity in front of him , so I turned around and walked back. Dark Fire didn't have the courage to chase after him, but he was relieved instead.Suddenly, he thought of something, walked quickly to the middle of the corridor on the second floor, and looked down. He was right in his judgment, this angle was just right enough to see the person who went downstairs!And what he saw was probably the most treacherous scene in his life - a person with his back turned to him, walking slowly forward in the dark night with his head down, when he reached a completely dark corner, the sound of footsteps stopped up.That "person" disappeared like a ghost. Dark Fire couldn't control it anymore, he couldn't stay in this terrifying corridor for a moment!Goosebumps all over his body are ordering him to return to his room immediately - that temporary shelter. Dark fire locked the door, still feeling lingering fear.Only then did he realize that his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.After several minutes passed, he finally stopped shivering and regained his self-control and thinking ability. The man who had appeared in the scene he had just seen--if it wasn't a ghost, was a terrible monster who was not much better than a ghost.Characters like Frankenstein or the opera geek never show up until the moment of their final demise - that's what these guys have in common.Therefore, it is not my fault that I did not see, or see clearly his (her) face. However, it was not completely useless. Although he couldn't even judge the gender of the person in the dark, he could see the style of the clothes he (she) was wearing - the person was wearing a shirt with the collar turned up .Darkfire could be sure of this because he couldn't see the man's neck from behind, only the collar that stood up. This is an important discovery. I know what to do tomorrow.he thought to himself. Early the next morning, the dark fire came down earlier than anyone else.Although he didn't sleep well last night and his eyes were bloodshot, he was full of energy.Faith is a powerful force, especially the belief of being able to survive and regain freedom, which is an unparalleled spiritual power, which can support a person to do anything in adversity. The suspense writers got up one after another. They came down from upstairs and went to the lobby on the first floor to get breakfast.It surprised Darkfire that no one had mentioned the horrible footsteps of last night.Damn it, am I the only one who heard it this time?He became uneasy. Fortunately, Goth's appearance made Dark Fire breathe a sigh of relief. "Did you hear that last night?" He hurried down the stairs, "That mysterious footstep appeared again!" There were ten people in the hall now, and all of them (except Darkfire) were shaking their heads.Xia Houshen said, "Why can't I hear the ghostly voice you are talking about once?" "The sound last night was smaller than the night before. If you slept deeply, you might not be able to hear it. But I can guarantee that it appeared!" Gott emphasized. "I'm the one who slept like hell." Beidou said regretfully, "It's a pity that I didn't hear it once, otherwise I would definitely open the door to find out." Goth probably thought that Beidou's words were mocking his timidity, and said with some displeasure: "You haven't heard it, so you don't know how creepy that strange sound sounds in the middle of the night. If you are brave enough , stay in the hall on this floor tonight and see who is playing tricks. I guess it will appear again tonight." Beidou stopped talking. Nan Tian didn't hear the strange footsteps last night either.He thought this kind of thing would only happen once, but he didn't expect it to happen again and again.Now, he and several others couldn't help looking at Dark Fire.Apparently they haven't forgotten the hypothesis about sleepwalking. Dark fire is naturally very clear in his heart.He could confidently tell everyone that the person walking around in the middle of the night could not be him.Because he opened the door last night and saw that person, and remembered a certain characteristic of that person. It is for this reason that he chooses to remain silent.Compared with clearing everyone's suspicion and speculation about him, he has a more important purpose.At this moment, he pretended not to see their inquiring and questioning eyes, and pretended to avoid them casually, as if he wanted to go to the cabinet to get something to eat.In fact, he walked around behind everyone, observing their backs and clothes. He's been doing it since just now.But to his surprise, he didn't find anyone's clothes similar to the "mysterious night traveler" he saw last night. What made him feel even more strange was.After seeing that person's clothes last night, he felt a familiar feeling - he must have seen the person wearing this clothes before!Therefore, he was sure that this person was among them! However, to Darkfire's dismay, his careful observation lasted until 6:30 in the afternoon - he had secretly inspected everyone's backs and clothes dozens of times, but he still couldn't find "that person" ".But the sense of familiarity in his heart became more obvious, and he felt more and more that this person was by his side, but he just couldn't be sure who it was-this feeling simply drove him crazy. It was seven o'clock, and the dark fire still couldn't be judged, so I had to give up temporarily and sit around with everyone.Tonight's game begins. Ryoma is the protagonist tonight, and he looks confident.Look up at the crowd like a seasoned speaker and smile confidently.His attitude made all the writers present clearly feel that what he was going to tell next must be an exceptionally wonderful story. "I hope my story can bring you some kind of 'enlightenment'." Ryoma started with this sentence. "Every book I write, every story I create, I hope people will pay more attention to the deep meaning of the story." "Which revelation are you referring to?" Moby Dick asked curiously. "You'll know it when you hear it." Longma smiled mysteriously, making it hard for people to figure it out. "I'm starting to tell. The name of the story is 'The Act of the Living Dead.'"
The dark fire story is over.In fact, he noticed something in the process of speaking. The expressions of the audience did not seem quite right. Their eyes widened, and some were even dumbfounded.Now, he could finally ask, "What's wrong with you? Why are you all staring at me?"

What made him feel even more strange was.After seeing that person's clothes last night, he felt a familiar feeling - he must have seen the person wearing this clothes before!Therefore, he was sure that this person was among them! However, to Darkfire's dismay, his careful observation lasted until 6:30 in the afternoon - he had secretly inspected everyone's backs and clothes dozens of times, but he still couldn't find "that person" ".But the sense of familiarity in his heart became more obvious, and he felt more and more that this person was by his side, but he just couldn't be sure who it was-this feeling simply drove him crazy. It was seven o'clock, and the dark fire still couldn't be judged, so I had to give up temporarily and sit around with everyone.Tonight's game begins. Ryoma is the protagonist tonight, and he looks confident.Look up at the crowd like a seasoned speaker and smile confidently.His attitude made all the writers present clearly feel that what he was going to tell next must be an exceptionally wonderful story. "I hope my story can bring you some kind of 'enlightenment'." Ryoma started with this sentence. "Every book I write, every story I create, I hope people will pay more attention to the deep meaning of the story." "Which revelation are you referring to?" Moby Dick asked curiously. "You'll know it when you hear it." Longma smiled mysteriously, making it hard for people to figure it out. "I'm starting to tell. The name of the story is 'The Act of the Living Dead.'"
