Jogging down the stairs, Gao Life didn't even use an umbrella and returned to his house in the rain.
He had a very fulfilling day, much more exciting than working in a prison for felons.
Closing the door to his room, Gao Life placed the several black and white photos he owned on the coffee table: ''When the horror game completely merges with reality, will the people in the posthumous photos be able to come back?But the ones who come back at that time, are they still themselves?"
His eyes shifted to Teacher Yao, Gao Life was a bit worried that the other party wouldn't be able to adapt to the environment over there, and he was prepared to bring the black and white photos of Zhao Xi and Teacher Yao with him the next time he triggered the Weird Tales game.
The night was as dark as ink, the rainstorm poured down, after a day of hunger, Gao Ming opened the fridge, but he was a bit reluctant to eat something from home, the first game left a deep psychological shadow on him.
"It's better to order takeaway, when the disaster is complete, someone dares to deliver, I don't dare to eat indiscriminately."After picking up his mobile phone and ordering takeaway, Gao Life stared at the standby screen of his mobile phone and fell into silence.
His phone's desktop wallpaper was a photo, taken in a neighbourhood on the far outskirts of Xinhu, of him and his parents sitting at the table for dinner, on the day he was transferred home.
Mum's apron was undone and she was carrying freshly prepared dishes, when she seemed to be chattering about how the downstairs neighbours were going to introduce Gao Fate to a date once he had a stable job.
Dad took advantage of the time when High Life attracted Mum's attention to secretly drink a glass of wine.
Gao life himself is full of helpless nodding yes, the attitude is as perfunctory as it needs to be.
This mobile phone background photo was very cosy, but High Life grabbed his hair in a bit of pain.
The three people in the photo are normal, but the question is who took this photo?
The mobile phone was far away, it didn't look like it was automatically set to take the photo, and there seemed to be a fourth person in the house at that time, but Gao Fate couldn't recall.
"The investigator said that the anomalous event would interrupt all communications, but I clearly received phone calls from my father and mother during the three days I was trapped, and their voices and tone of voice were the same as usual ..." Gao Fate was really a little afraid to continue to think about it.
"The anomalous event appeared in Xinhu half a year ago, could it be that the people who called me during these six months were all other people?"
Gao life knows his family very well, as a psychological counsellor, he is very good at insight into other people's hearts, it is very difficult to fool him.
Heavy rain closed the road, now unable to go to New Shanghai, Gao Life clasped his hands together, his finger bones creaking.
After hesitating for a long time, Gao Life picked up his mobile phone and dialled that incomparably familiar number.
A busy tone rang out, and he was even more nervous than in the Weird Tales game.
"No answer?"
Gao Life walked back and forth inside the house, he called several times in a row without anyone picking up, "Why is it suddenly unavailable?"
Sitting back on the sofa, Gao Life looked at the black and white cake family photo on the table and dialled the home phone for the seventh time.
Tick, tick, tick ...
The sound of raindrops crashing on the window gradually became smaller, and a faint chill crawled out from the shadows of the room like a small snake, slowly wrapping itself around Gao Life's ankles.
As he felt the temperature drop, his afterglow suddenly noticed a mother smiling in the black and white photo.
The busy sound from his mobile phone suddenly stopped and the call was answered at that moment.
"Hello?"High Life stood up at once as he heard a rustling of electricity on the other side of the phone and the sound of something heavy being dragged around, as if someone was approaching.
"Can you hear me?It's me, High Life!"
The living room lights began to flicker at the same time as the sound of electricity, footsteps surprisingly sounded in the hallway at this time, and Gao Life felt the heat in his body was draining away at a rapid pace.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Stay here ..." Mom's faint voice, vaguely coming from her hand, more and more shadows began to tumble in the corners of the room, as if a root of a large tree buried in the ground was breaking out.
The speed of the temperature drop increased, and High Life wanted to hang up the phone, but at this time, the voice on the other side of the phone gradually became clear.
"Stay here, stay here, stay here!!!"
The shrill voice almost penetrated Gao's eardrums, if he continued, he might meet those "dads" and "mums" again.
It was as if his body was being grabbed by an invisible arm in the shadows, and just as High Life was about to be completely engulfed by the shadows, the knock on the door suddenly rang out!
"Boom!Boom!Boom!"
"The takeaway has arrived!"
"Anyone there!Your takeaway!Answer the phone!"
Part of the shadows crept towards the door of the room, and High Life struggled with all his might to finally hang up the phone.
The temperature inside the house quickly rose, warm light appeared inside the house, and Gao Life opened the living room door as fast as he could and rushed out!
Before the takeaway boy who was knocking on the door could react, he saw Gao Life falling headfirst into the hallway, his clothes unkempt, his expression horrified, and gasping for air.
"Since when was the phone replaced?I've been chatting with Guile for the past six months?!"High Life could still feel the pain coming from all parts of his body, and he couldn't control his hands from trembling.
Seeing him like this, the deliveryman carrying a bag of cassoulet rice was also stunned, not daring to urge loudly at all, standing in the corner by himself, carefully opening his mouth, "Big brother, you ... your rice has arrived."
"Sorry, give you trouble."Gao life came back to his senses, he climbed up from the ground, looking at the deliveryman's gaze is full of gratitude, if it is not the deliveryman knocking on the door, the next thing is not known what will happen: "What is your name?How long have you been knocking on the door?If I delay you to deliver food behind you, I can send you a red envelope."
"My name is Su Mo, just give a good review if it's convenient."The delivery man raised his hand and wanted to hand the cassoulet to Gao Ming, but Gao Ming reached into his pocket, he took out two hundred yuan and shoved it to the delivery man.
Big brother, what are you doing?"
"Can't let good people chill."High Life touched half a day again, and finally took out his mobile phone, "I use less cash, this way, you add my friend, I will transfer money to you."
"Not so much not so much, it's just five minutes overtime, it's not necessary."The delivery man waved his hand repeatedly, he wanted to return both the cassoulet and the two hundred to High Life.
"This is what you deserve."Gao Life came back from the dead, and now he had a pang of fear in his heart, "Did you see anything strange outside just now?Or hear any weird sounds?"
"No."The deliveryman shook his head in bewilderment.
"It seems that as long as Creepy Dad and Creepy Mum haven't stepped out of the post mortem, the 'calling' can be aborted."High Life opened his mobile phone and checked the indoor surveillance screen.
"Ghosts?"The delivery man wasn't sure what he was hearing, and he looked towards High Life's mobile phone screen with slight curiosity.
After a busy day, High Life returned home and he made a phone call inside the house, but as he did so he suddenly stiffened up and his arms and legs spasmed.
He then seemed to go crazy, waving his hands at the air, his face incomparably hideous!
Seeing this, the delivery man's expression changed subtly, and his hand trembled involuntarily as he held the cassoulet rice and the two hundred dollars - the man in front of him seemed to be possessed!
The sound-activated lights in the hallway happened to go out at that moment, and the eerie cold light from the mobile phone screen reflected Gao Lifu's face, and the two of them stared at each other for a moment.
"Brother, don't look at me like that, I'm scared."The delivery man was on the verge of tears, "I'm a college student from the neighbourhood, I'm delivering takeaways for the first time on the side, so don't take it personally if I'm rude."
"Don't be afraid, I'm a normal person."
"Which normal person would emphasise that he is a normal person while chatting!"
The delivery man was really scared, he had long heard that the feng shui of Li Jing Apartment was not good, and many murders had happened, today he came over and found that this place was really "true to its name".
Without waiting for High Life to continue explaining, the delivery man put down the cassoulet rice and money, and dashed towards the downstairs.
"Are college students nowadays so introverted?"
Picking up the takeaway and the money, Gao Life returned to the house as he thought back to what had just happened.
"When I look at this posthumous photo while calling home, it seems like the Creepy Dad and Creepy Mum in the black and white posthumous photo will appear to change and come out of the shadows."
"This scene is scary, but it seems like it could be a card if used properly."
An image flashed through Gao Life's mind, when he and Zhao Xi ended up confronting each other in the room, Dad and Mum knocked on the door one after another carrying cakes.
