Corner House

As the days passed, the relationship between the two was not too close. As a result, the so-called "parting ways" did not have much impact on life.

　　Occasionally, he still thinks about Lin Xingjie, but more often he worries about the trivial matters of study and life.

　　"My sister won't come back tonight. Should I buy food by myself or go out to eat... The monthly exam results are good, but the gap with the first place is still very big. I really don't know how that person learned... Strange, today Why is it so quiet?"

　　Xu Xiangyang stopped, the front of his eyes was obscured by continuous shadows. He raised his head and looked forward.

　　At the end of this road, a three-story house stands.

　　This place has probably been abandoned for a long time. There are wild grasses everywhere, and creepers cover the entire fence. Under the building, there is a collapsed wooden door leaning to one side, revealing a deep doorway. Most of the glass windows on the first floor were broken and replaced with wooden boards and newspapers. They were dim in color and covered with dust. On the windows on the second and third floors, some curtains were closed, and some were black and dull, and nothing could be seen.

　　There is a desolate atmosphere everywhere, and the neighborhood has become a paradise for wild cats and dogs. The whole house exudes a gloomy atmosphere, as if even the sun can't shine here.

　　Xu Xiangyang passed by here more than once, but every time he passed by, he felt a strange feeling for some reason. The chill that rises from the bottom of my heart can't be used anyway. Therefore, he generally chooses to take a detour, preferring to take more roads.

　　But this morning, he came here without knowing it.

　　Lin Xingjie, who was walking in front of her, had long been invisible.

　　There is no one around, only the gloomy sky, and the stationary trees like frozen in an oil painting.

　　But at this moment, a rustling sound came from the lush meadow beside him.

　　He was standing in front of the house, and a strange and slight noise came from the other side of the road. It's like some kind of fine human voice, and more than one person is talking, there are men and women.

　　What, what's going on?

　　Xu Xiangyang suddenly felt scared.

　　Obviously in his heart, he desperately warned himself that he did not want to see or could not see, but he still couldn't help but want to turn his head to see; while turning his head, he felt that his neck was making a "crack", like a costume Old machinery full of rusty gears.

　　The house in his eyes was still the same, nothing unusual, Xu Xiangyang stood stiffly, and could only hear the sound coming from inside getting louder and louder.

　　After a while, Xu Xiangyang could no longer bear it anymore, and his fear drove him to walk quickly to the tree and hide behind.

　　...

　　After a while, two men and a woman walked out of the lush grass near the strange house.

　　He was still young in his dress, dressed in loose school uniforms, and belonged to the same school as Xu Xiangyang. But looking at their jeans with ripped holes and long hair after dyeing, you can tell at a glance that they belong to the type of bad students.

　　A woman had flushed face and disheveled hair, a man Shi Shiran was smoking a cigarette, and a man was still carrying his pants. It is not difficult to imagine what they were doing in there just now, they were walking forward while talking.

　　...It turned out to be human. Great.

　　Xu Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but laughed at himself in his heart: What do you mean by "it turns out to be a human", can it really be a ghost? I was so old, and I didn't expect to be frightened by such things.

　　He adjusted his position a bit to avoid being noticed, and planned to wait for someone to leave before leaving. He didn't want to be discovered by the other party as eavesdropping.

　　It may be because there are no passersby around, and their voices are very excited, and they don't mean to lower the volume.

　　"It's pretty cool to do it here."

　　"It's just a bit dirty."

　　"Don't have a taste?"

　　A thin young man with long and greasy hair breathed out his cigarette, smiled and asked his companion:

　　"How is it? The woman before, is there any confidence to get started?"

　　"No problem, the girl finally agreed to me a few days ago. She thought she had some idea, so she wouldn't refuse me casually. But, after this time, she won't be able to help her."

Regarding the inch, the boy whose physique can be called strong among his peers answered confidently.

　　"Is that okay? I think she still looks like a chick."

　　"It's because she doesn't understand this aspect at all, so we need our enthusiastic classmates to teach me carefully."

　　When the two men talked about this nasty topic, they couldn't help laughing. The woman next to her patted her companion on the shoulder very dissatisfied.

　　"Hello, I'm still standing here, are you discussing this kind of thing?"

　　"Don't be jealous." The inch-headed man smiled and hugged the girl's shoulder affectionately. "We both need you. Otherwise, if the two of us are present, she might run away halfway."

　　The woman took a few more shots, but soon followed and laughed.

　　...

　　It was not until the three of them left that Xu Xiangyang walked out from behind the tree.

　　He recognized their faces. Xu Xiangyang has never spoken to this group of people, but knows that these people are all "persons of the wind" in the school. They belong to the unscrupulous teenagers who often skip class and fight, and also mix with people outside the school.

　　One of them always feels a little concerned. Xu Xiangyang frowned and thought about it for a while before remembering--

　　By the way, this guy is Shi Hui.

　　Although the process was very unpleasant, thanks to Lin Xingjie, he was able to remember this name. In the past, I could only remember that this face belonged to a certain "school bully", but there was no way to associate it with the name.

　　According to the statement that day, isn't he Lin Xingjie's boyfriend? It's only been a month, is it a breakup? However, judging from the life style of this group of guys, cheating is a trivial matter.

　　More importantly, what they said just now, when heard by a bystander like Xu Xiangyang, clearly released some kind of nasty and dangerous signal.

　　This group of lawless campus bastards really don't know what will happen. Xu Xiangyang felt that he should go to the teacher to report the situation. Also, there is...

　　What else can he do?

　　The only thing I can do is to remind Lin Xingjie to pay more attention to her boyfriend's situation. But if you really talked to her, would she be scolded as "nosy" again?

　　Xu Xiangyang shook his head.

　　One yard goes to one yard, his mind is not so small yet.

　　After making the decision, Xu Xiangyang picked up his schoolbag and prepared to leave. But at this moment--

　　An astonishing chill, rising from the spine, like an electric current, only felt as if someone had been poured from head to toe with a bucket of cold water.

　　As if receiving a certain signal deep in the brain, Xu Xiangyang suddenly raised his head.

　　...

　　I don't know when, but inside the glass window on the second floor, there was an old man standing in an empty and dark place.

　　The old man was tall and thin, dressed in a dark black Chinese tunic suit, and stood erect, giving people a spirited impression; Xu Xiangyang only felt that the other's face was covered by something blurry to see the color.

　　However, one thing is beyond doubt.

　　He is "looking" at himself.

　　The dark sunken eye sockets, his eyeballs were missing, but Xu Xiangyang could feel that a cold line of sight was watching him, and some abnormal evil force gradually eroded his body and mind, making his will Lost, the body became stiff a little bit.

　　"Boom boom boom!"

　　Xu Xiangyang could hear the sound of pulsing in his eardrums, blood flowed freely, and his heart beat violently like drums. For a while, his back was cold and sweaty, and the compassionate shirt in his school uniform stuck to his body.

　　What, what is that? !

　　Is it a human or a ghost?

　　The eyeless old man was motionless like a sculpture, looking down at himself.

　　Something is wrong, something is wrong!

　　After regaining his senses, Xu Xiangyang almost didn't bit his lip. Without a word, he turned his head and ran, almost falling on the road.

　　At this moment, he only had the only thought of "escaping" in his mind.
