C18 (1/2)

At the end of the summer, at a place called the Flying Plaza. Although it was close to one in the morning, there were still quite a few people wandering about.

Du Lee really drank too much tonight, it was red wine, and also foreign wine. After getting out from the KTV, she rushed towards the fountain and spat all over.

Now that everyone else had gone home, there were only and Yang Lan, her best friends left, to accompany her.

Yang Lan and Chen Zhijun were both classmates in Du Lee's university, so they could not be more familiar with each other.

”How is it, are you feeling better? They are truly afraid that they will not be able to kill you by drinking it with their lives. ” Yang Lan wiped Du Lee's mouth and complained.

”Aiya, it's my birthday. I'm very happy.” Chen Zhijun laughed.

”Happy my ass, you also want to blindly stir up trouble? What if you get drunk and send it to the hospital, you'll be responsible for it!” Yang Lan choked Chen Zhijun.

”It's fine. It'll be fine after a while.” Du Lee waved her hand, signalling for them to stop. She also had a headache.

”Where's your car? Where did you park it?” Yang Lan asked Du Lee.

Du Lee drove her father's car here, and Yang Lan and Chen Zhijun drove the other car. Seeing that Du Lee had drank so much, Yang Lan could only let him drive Du Lee home first, and then the two would take a taxi back and get their own cars.

But when Yang Lan said this, Du Lee felt that it was troublesome.

”Why don't you all accompany me for a walk? If I were to blow the wind outside, the wine would wake up a bit faster. It would be quite troublesome if you all ran around here and there. Wait for me to go back by myself.” Du Lee said.

Yang Lan thought that this would work, since she didn't need to go to work on Sunday tomorrow anyway.

Therefore, the three of them decided to stroll around the streets. Chen Zhijun became even more excited, and said that he wanted to find a stall to eat supper.

They continued to chat, and before they knew it, they had arrived at a relatively secluded path.

On both sides of the road were many parasol trees and old houses. They were all local people, and they recognized that the road used to be an old street. Now that all the merchants had moved away, it was basically deserted.

At this time, Du Lee felt a strong urge to pee. She had drank too much alcohol, she had to find a bathroom.

”Are there any toilets nearby?” Du Lee asked.

”I don't know. Is there?” Yang Lan asked Chen Zhijun.

”Let's go ahead and take a look. I'm not sure either.”

They moved on.

Du Lee could not hold it in anymore and looked around with a frown.

”Why don't we go back to the square? There must be something in the plaza. ” Chen Zhijun suggested.

”Are you crazy? To walk from the square to here for at least half an hour, you have to suffocate her to death!” Yang Lan scolded.

”Take a taxi!”

”No, there isn't even a ghost here. Where did this taxi come from!”

Just as he was at his wit's end, Chen Zhijun suddenly called out, as if he had discovered a new continent.

”Look, look! It's a bar!”

Du Lee and Yang Lan looked over at the same time, seeing a three-storey building in front of them, a sign on the third floor said: Fei Chang Bar.

”What happened to the bar?” Yang Lan asked.

”Idiot, do you have any more experience? If it's a bar, then there must be a toilet.” Chen Zhijun said proudly.

”Tsk, you're experienced. You must be satisfied that you have been flirting with girls in bars all day, right?”

”Haha, how would I dare!”

The two of them were teasing each other, when Du Lee said: ”The bar shouldn't be open, right? ”The lights are not on.”

It was only then that Yang Lan and Chen Zhijun noticed that the windows on the third floor were indeed pitch black.

”That's impossible, isn't this the most lively time of the bar?” Yang Lan asked.

”Aiyo, it doesn't matter whether you open it or not, as long as there's a toilet, it's fine.” Chen Zhijun said impatiently.

”Right, then come with me.” Du Lee said while grinning.

”No problem.” Yang Lan dragged her words and replied. She knew that Du Lee was timid, but this house seemed a little eerie.

They successfully found the passageway to the stairs. Du Lee was already feeling really bad, so even though the corridor was dark, she walked very fast. As a result, they found an iron gate at the entrance of the building.

As they passed the street lamps outside, they saw a piece of paper affixed beside the iron gate. On the piece of paper, it read: ”Due to an accident, this bar is temporarily closed. Please inform each other!”

”No wonder. So it was closed.” Chen Zhijun said.

”Then why is there no time to reopen the store?” Yang Lan was suspicious.

”Hey, big brother, big sister, please take care of me first, I'm almost suffocating!” Du Lee immediately said.

Du Lee did not wait for the two to reply and directly pushed open the door and entered.

The hallway on the third floor was extremely narrow, but there were a few windows that were relatively bright. There was a large door in the middle with a red curtain hanging on it. It was obviously the entrance to a bar.

When they opened the curtain and walked a few steps, they came to the bar, which was dark and very hot because the lights were not on.

Du Lee glanced at the bathroom's logo and signaled to Yang Lan with her eyes. Yang Lan turned and said to Chen Zhijun: ”Wait here.”

”Alright, you guys hurry up.”

Accompanied by Yang Lan, Du Lee went to the toilet. Luckily, there was still light inside the toilet. Du Lee did not hesitate and immediately squatted down to solve her problem. Yang Lan stood outside the door and waited.

After finishing everything, Du Lee returned to Yang Lan's side. She was already sweating profusely from the heat, but she still showed a relaxed expression.

”Is this great?” Yang Lan laughed.

”Of course, but it's so hot.” Du Lee used a tissue to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

When they were walking out, Du Lee's mood gradually calmed down. She couldn't help but to notice her surroundings and suddenly felt that even though the bar was buzzing and noisy, the moment the lights were turned off, it would also look very eerie. She thought again that if she was alone, she wouldn't have the guts to come here.

Besides, she found it excruciatingly hot and smelly.

Du Lee and Yang Lan rushed to the door, but they did not find Chen Zhijun. Just as Yang Lan was about to call out for her, the circular dance floor's moving colored light suddenly lit up.

”How is it? Am I smart?” Near the DJ Stage, Chen Zhijun's voice came.

”What are you doing?” Yang Lan asked.

Chen Zhijun straightened his body with a silly smile on his face. He was actually standing in front of the DJ Stage with all kinds of switches on his body.

”Did you turn on this light?” ”Sure you can.” Du Lee laughed.

”It's nothing.”

Yang Lan looked around the DJ Stage and snorted: ”Isn't it just those few switches, I'm so proud of you.”

At this time, Chen Zhijun pressed something again and the colorful lights started to sway. The dance floor instantly became dazzling, especially in the dark environment, it was even more dazzling.

She started to walk around casually, observing her surroundings. Gradually, she discovered that this bar seemed to have been around for a long time, the walls, sofas, floors, all of them were broken through, and every corner of the bar was pitch black, as though it had been roasted.

Du Lee still remembered the notice from the iron gate that an accident had happened at the bar, but she did not specify what happened.

While Du Lee was deep in thought, Yang Lan and Chen Zhijun had already woken up on the dance floor. The music was played using their phones, and with the cool light shining down, it really did feel like they were celebrating in a bar.

”Lili, come on, jump with us!” Yang Lan greeted Du Lee.

”No, no, you guys go ahead and play. I'm too hot, let's have a rest.” Du Lee said as she found the closest sofa and sat down.

”Tsk, boring!” Yang Lan retorted, then continued to twist her butt with Chen Zhijun.

What Du Lee said was the truth, she was really too hot, from the moment she entered, she was extremely hot, as if her entire body was about to burn up.

After sitting for a while, she saw that Yang Lan and Chen Zhijun were having fun, so she took a recording of the event. She even took a photo of herself and sent it to her WeChat Moments, with a message accompanying: ”Everyone, guess where I am?” What an unforgettable birthday, haha!

Then she put the phone away and went to bed.

However, when she completely calmed down, she suddenly felt a strange feeling, causing her to feel a chill from head to toe.

She looked around and saw nothing out of the ordinary.

However, this strange feeling continued to expand, assaulting her heart.

Sometimes, the senses of a human can catch onto a subtle phenomenon more easily than a rational person. This was how Du Lee was now.

Slowly, she heard deep, light sounds, sounds she was sure she hadn't heard before.

It gave her the feeling that something was walking back and forth beside her.

In other words, there was something extra in this lobby.

For some reason, a mysterious aura came from behind her. She suddenly turned around, but did not discover anything out of the ordinary.

Behind her, there was a long sofa, some broken tables and chairs. Other than that, there were only black walls.

She sat back, but her heart began to beat faster.

She saw that Yang Lan and Chen Zhijun were still shaking their heads on the dance floor, as if they hadn't noticed anything abnormal at all.

She wanted to shout loudly, then immediately bring Yang Lan and Chen Zhijun out of the bar, but she couldn't muster up any energy.

And because of the tension, she felt hotter and hotter, as if she were sitting in a fire.

Just when she couldn't take it anymore and was about to rush to the dance floor, she saw it. She saw it very clearly, on the dance floor, other than Yang Lan and Chen Zhijun, there were also many other legs that were playing with the two on the dance floor. There were too many people to squeeze through.

Du Lee was shocked, his heart felt like it was suffering from a heavy blow.

The key thing was that Yang Lan and Chen Zhijun were still jumping there, not even glancing at Du Lee. If not, Du Lee could have just gestured at them.

Du Lee really did not dare to say yes, she was afraid that she would alarm the 'people' dancing with Yang Lan and Chen Zhijun.

She had a feeling that Yang Lan and Chen Zhijun would never be able to return.

Therefore, she decided to leave, leaving by herself.

Then, without another word, she stood up and rushed out of the bar.

During the time that she was downstairs, Du Lee's mind was completely blank. She sprinted back to the street outside at a top speed that could only be used to run and dance.

Finally, she took another look at the bar and without stopping, she ran straight to the Plaza and got into her own Toyota sedan.

At the moment, Du Lee was extremely tired. She panted loudly and drank as much water as she could, gulping down the entire bottle of mineral water in one go.

Then she started the car and headed home.

On the road, Du Lee pulled the car to a speed of 120 yards per hour. She was in too much of a panic to even remember her way home. Besides, even with all the windows open, she still felt hot and dry, as she had when she was sitting in the bar, as if she had a fire under her ass.

She was sweating profusely, and her clothes and pants, including the seat, were all wet. In this state, she was home.

When she got home, she didn't greet her parents. Instead, she locked herself in her room and sat on the bed with her hands on her knees, staring blankly into space.

Even now, she still hadn't recovered. She was still scared and trembling all over.

Especially when she recalled the strange postures of those shadows on the dance floor, it made her hair stand on end.

When she was still a student, she had read many supernatural novels. She guessed that Yang Lan and Chen Zhijun must have been bewitched by those shadows, and the problem must have been within the bar.

She regretted that she had to go to the bar to use the toilet. If she didn't go, nothing would happen.

It was at this moment that a voice came from outside the door: ”Lili, you're back?”

Du Lee jumped in fright, only after recovering from her shock did she realize that her mother was asking her.

”Yes.” ”No,” she replied.

”How are you today?”

”It's alright …” Mom, I'm going to sleep. ”
