C16 (2/2)
”A pair of shoes.”
I saw him smile and then dive into the 4-1 closet.
The appearance of Ghost Boy meant no harm. Curiosity was originally a child's nature, just like when we were young. When we see something new, we would unconsciously stop and take a few more glances.
The Ghost Boy definitely didn't expect that I could see him, so when I shouted at him, she hesitated for a long time before finally coming out.
The morgue was getting colder and colder. I crouched down to open the 4-4 cabinet, but that was against the rules. It was supposed to be here when I was looking at the body.
I don't know if he really had a stomachache or if he was trying to avoid it.
These cabinets only had a total of four boxes. When the Ghost Boy disappeared, it entered 4-1, and the bottom 4-4. I squatted down again and touched the cold cabinet with my two hands, thinking that I would see Su Lin's ice-cold body in the next moment.
Cold air came from my palms. I knew that I couldn't stay in this place for too long. Even if it wasn't some ghosts, it was too cold here, so it wasn't good for my body either.
I grabbed it with both hands and pulled it out, but the cabinet didn't budge. It was as if someone had locked it, and I suddenly thought of the key that Gao Ming had given me. Since there was a key, there must be a lock.
I put the key in the pocket of my greatcoat, and when I did not put my hands in it, I frowned for a moment, for I remembered very well that it was in the pocket of my greatcoat.
Did I accidentally fall out? Impossible, I walked through the cracks between the cabinets. I turned around and looked back. There was nothing on the floor.
I still didn't. At this time, I was really anxious, the key was missing, so I couldn't see Su Lin's body, and after I lost the key, it would be hard to explain.
I had no choice but to take off my military coat and shake it vigorously with both hands. I still didn't do so, and at this moment, I remembered that when the Ghost Boy appeared, I took it off. At that time, I vaguely felt as if something fell out and was kicked by me, because the sound was very soft and I didn't pay it any mind at the time.
Thinking of this, I quickly squatted down and looked down the cabinet. I could vaguely see a black shadow at the bottom of the 4-4 cabinet. I heaved a sigh of relief when I accidentally kicked him in.
I knelt on the floor and reached inside. The key was not far from the edge of the cabinet, and the length of my arm should be within reach.
I probed deeper and felt that it should have already arrived. At this moment, a very cold thing stretched out from within and touched my hand. The next moment, my hand withdrew from it with lightning like speed.
”Who is it?”
I lowered my head and looked inside. There was nothing but the key, perhaps because of the hallucination of fear, and it was possible that in the dark, sometimes, the human brain could create something in accordance with your fear.
I reached in again, and this time I simply lay on my stomach so that my eyes could see where it was, and if anything did happen, I could see.
Soon, I found the key, grabbed it in my hand, and took it out.
Everything was safe!
Grabbing the key, I stood up again and found the hole. With a crack, the lock opened. I grabbed the edge of the cabinet and pushed again.
The cabinet could not be opened.
It's strange, I've done it twice, whether it's locked or open, the chest of drawers for the body can't be opened.
While I was squatting there studying the 4-4 cabinet, I suddenly felt my scalp tighten, as if someone was grabbing at your hair.
I stood up quickly. My hair wasn't very long, almost to my shoulders, which was something I'd picked up later in college, when I was in high school.
My hair had actually gotten into the 4-2 cabinet. The gap in the cabinet was very small, so when I stood up, there was still a strand of hair left inside. I gently exerted my strength, causing my scalp to ache.
I grabbed the middle of my hair and gently pulled it out, and as my fingers pushed, there was a crunching, crunching sound, as if fingers were touching a cold steel plate inside.
The Ghost Boy said that he came with his mother to look for his father and was killed by someone in the end. Thus, this woman's heart must be filled with resentment, because once the resentment cannot be dispelled, it will turn into a malicious spirit that comes out to harm people.
I subconsciously took a step back. At this point in time, I had to try my best not to offend the woman inside the 4-2.
”Su Lin, it's me, Xia Mo. I'm here to see you.”
I grabbed onto the edge of the cabinet as I shouted Su Lin's name nonstop. I barely used any strength as the 4-4 cabinet actually opened itself.
