Chapter 31 031. The smile will never disappear

The first time she read this text, Gu Yingying, a college student holding a saxophone in her arms, suddenly felt a chill coming from her back.

wind?

She turned around hastily, but behind her there were only unpruned nurseries, with branches stretching out untidy and motionless, and there was no evening breeze blowing from behind.

Frowning slightly, Gu Yingying turned around and continued looking at her phone.

But just as her eyes swept across the bushes, Gu Yingying suddenly caught a glimpse of a pale face looking at her in the deep bushes.

Ding——

Gu Yingying's heart stopped for a beat. She immediately rubbed her eyes and found that it was just an illusion caused by the mottled shadows of the trees.

Turning her head, Gu Yingying found Qiao Mu staring at her seriously, a little embarrassed.

She cleared her throat pretentiously and put away her phone.

"It's already very late. I'll go back to the dormitory first and watch it in the evening."

Gu Yingying didn't look into Qiao Mu's eyes.

"Yeah, no problem, you can watch it at night."

Qiao Mu was not in a hurry.

What is coming will always come.

I can't brush it during the day, but I'm shocked at night.

Gu Yingying packed up her musical instrument, carried the suitcase and left the riverside, walked onto the subway, and took two stops to Jiangcheng University, where she studied.

As usual, she went to the cafeteria to eat, wash up, and lie down on the bed. Only then did Gu Yingying remember the Shudong.com account she had followed in the evening.

Opening the Shudong.com APP, she found that this account had a few more fans. She didn't know if it was Qiao Mu who was dragging people by the river and pressing their heads to get attention.

Gu Yingying clicked on the long picture and continued reading.

The story is very simple, that is, "I" is a psychiatrist. One day I received a consultation. The other person said that he had such and such problems and wanted a doctor to come to the clinic for treatment. Only then did "I" find out that the patient worked in a funeral parlor.

To be honest, in Gu Yingying's opinion, the language is just a passing level, and most of the descriptions are plain and straightforward.

But as she watched, Gu Yingying felt a little cold around her, and couldn't help but pull the quilt closer to her body.

Moreover, although the writing is new, it feels inexplicably very immersive. When the people in the story are talking to each other, Gu Yingying even feels that the words are ringing in her ears.

"Doctor, I see you."

The moment she saw this line of text, Gu Yingying's phone vibrated, and WeChat notified her that she had received a picture.

"Fuck!"

Gu Yingying shuddered and was so frightened that the phone almost hit her face.

She immediately checked WeChat and found that it was a sand sculpture picture posted in a friend group.

Gu Yingying couldn't help but laugh.

She set WeChat to do not disturb mode and continued reading the story.

She didn't know what kind of magic this short article had. Gu Yingying just felt like she was in a lonely funeral parlor with strange rules. There was only a strange security guard staying with her, and there seemed to be something around her. nothing.

Gu Yingying soon saw a power outage, the security guard went out to check, and only her own paragraph was left in the room.

At this time, the protagonist of the short article had already noticed that there was the sound of metal dragging on the ground outside the door, and then——

Boom——

There was a knock on the door, and Gu Yingying suddenly realized that the sound was not her fantasy, but something real.

Boom——

A dull knock came from the direction of the dormitory door, but the four people in the dormitory were already lying on the bed. Who was knocking at this point when the lights were about to go out?

Gu Yingying, who was closest to the door, took a breath, because sleeping on the upper bunk, she seemed to see a man in security uniform standing at the door through the window on the door.

How could a man come in this girls' dormitory?

Suddenly, Gu Yingying felt her heart beating wildly, her eardrums buzzing, she got goosebumps, and she didn't dare to move.

"Who?"

It wasn't until the roommate who slept across from me asked, that the person outside the door spoke.

"Hey, have you finished your homework of counting points? Let me have a look."

It turned out to be a classmate in the next dormitory.

Gu Yingying took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a girl outside the door. She might have been dazzled before.

"Scare yourself"

She thinks so of herself.

When the girl left with her homework, the dormitory door had just closed.

snap——

The whole building suddenly went dark, and at the same time there was a burst of boos on the campus.

It's eleven o'clock, lights out.

Gu Yingying's eyes adjusted to the darkness. Instead of reading the article, she glanced at the dormitory.

The other three people were all playing with their mobile phones, and the fluorescent light hit their faces, making them look extremely pale.

Gu Yingying swallowed, curled up, and continued reading.

Unknowingly, she seemed to have really arrived at the funeral parlor, being chased by the ferocious and crazy security guard. There was a sound of knocking on the freezer door in the morgue, which made Gu Yingying's blood become cold and her breathing became cold. It also became urgent.

Countless hands stretched out from the wall and grabbed Gu Yingying's shoulders, arms, thighs, and ankles.

She felt a coldness on her ankles and subconsciously moved her feet, only to find that a hand was actually grabbing her feet.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Gu Yingying couldn't help but curse, and her whole body trembled as if she'd been electrocuted. She sat up and leaned back until her back was pressed against the cold wall.

Her muscles spasmed, her mouth opened and closed, but she could no longer make any sound. People who are extremely frightened and stimulated cannot scream at all.

Gu Yingying's eyes moved. In the dark dormitory, she saw only the dim light. The roommate in the next bed was sitting on the bedside with her mouth open, her hand still resting on Gu Yingying's quilt.

"Are you okay? I'm just teasing you. I didn't mean to do it."

The roommate obviously didn't expect Gu Yingying to react so strongly, and was stunned for a moment.

Gu Yingying was in shock. When she saw the other three people getting up and looking at her, the little girl's mood suddenly collapsed. As soon as her nose became sore, tears burst out of her eyes. Her shoulders twitched and she couldn't stop.

The roommate in the next bed originally wanted to comfort her, but as soon as she got closer, Gu Yingying immediately started to tremble, as if those were not her classmates, but vicious and cruel security guards, those haggard and mournful corpses.

"No, don't come over!"

Wails echoed in the dormitory.

It wasn't until after twelve o'clock that the dormitory building finally became quiet. Gu Yingying finally calmed down a little. She had used up a whole pack of tissues.

In fact, she feels much better now that she can cry. Emotions always need to be vented. If they cannot be released and are held in their hearts, they will cause problems.

Lying back on the bed, Gu Yingying looked at her phone.

There is still a final bit of ending to the story.

She was curious.

Very scared again.

In this dark dormitory, everyone lay down and prepared to sleep. No one chatted, only the sound of slight breathing.

After swallowing, curiosity still made Gu Yingying look at the screen of her phone.

She saw that in the ending, "I" seemed to have solved the problem and found the root cause of the funeral home's problems. The sun rose and everything was full of hope.

With a sigh of relief, Gu Yingying discovered that there was one last tail.

Then she read that the message "I" sent casually caused a reminder to sound among the crowd.

Buzz——

Gu Yingying's cell phone vibrated at the same time.

She didn't even have time to confirm what application prompt it was, before she fainted and her consciousness sank into the deep sea.

In the dream, Gu Yingying seemed to have experienced a lot. She saw the deserted funeral parlor, the burning crematorium, the cold and stiff corpse, and the man chasing her in the corridor with a crowbar. Crazy security guard.

She opened her eyes suddenly and realized that it was only one o'clock in the middle of the night and she had only slept for an hour.

Tossing and turning because of the nightmare, Gu Yingying turned on her phone and saw that there were still people chatting in the high school classmate group, so she sent a message.

[Gu Yingying]: I read a horror short story and couldn’t sleep.

[Zhao Yuanyang]: What a short story? Is it really so scary?

One of the classmates who was chatting asked casually.

Seeing this sentence, Gu Yingying suddenly felt a different emotion in her heart.

Yes, why am I the only one scared to cry? Why am I the only one who has lost sleep because of this story?

She was thinking about it, and suddenly she grinned and forwarded the tree hole article to the group.

[Gu Yingying]: That’s it.
