"What's this?" Li Jiu, who had just finished his night shift, looked at the bus stop sign curiously.
There was nothing interesting about the bus stop sign. In fact, if not for the red paper, Li Jiu wouldn't have taken a second look at it.
It was a piece of red paper. Generally speaking, it was similar to the red paper used for couplets. It was a little rough and did not use tape. It looked like it was secured with double-sided tape.
"The sky is blue, the earth is green … What kind of rubbish limerick is this?" Li Jiu was immediately annoyed. Even though he was not very literary, he still felt it was inappropriate to see something that did not even qualify as a limerick.
"My little girl cries every night …" Li Jiu was stunned. He felt like this was not a poem.
"Mr. Passerby, please read it and she will sleep until the sun rises?" Li Jiu was stunned. This was the first time he had seen something like this.
"Tsk tsk, these people. They don't even bring their children to the hospital when they're sick. They believe in such things." Li Jiu shook his head, but he still read it in its entirety.
"The sky is blue, the earth is green. My little girl cries every night. Mr. Passerby, please read it and she will sleep until the sun rises." Li Jiu smiled. Then, he got on the bus that he was waiting for. He planned to go home and rest. The night shift was too torturous.
"But isn't this for the sake of living?" Li Jiu yawned. He had to take the bus to the last stop. Even with the green light, it would take fifty minutes, so he planned to take a nap on the bus.
Li Jiu leaned against the seat and fell asleep. Due to his tiredness, even on the swaying bus, he felt sleepy.
But in the next second, Li Jiu felt a pair of scary eyes staring at him. He opened his eyes abruptly and looked around with a dumbfounded expression.
There was nothing, but an old man was looking at him strangely. Li Jiu did not mind. After all, he was too tired to give up his seat.
Then, Li Jiu started to doze off again. But just as he was about to fall asleep, Li Jiu 'saw' the pair of scary eyes staring at him.
This woke Li Jiu up again. He looked up. It was the same. There were more passengers on the bus, and the old man was still looking at him strangely.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I'm working the night shift. I'm really sleepy." Li Jiu explained with a smile. Otherwise, who knew what would happen to him if someone took a picture of him and posted it on the internet?
"It's fine, young man. It's just … this is the first time I've seen someone sleep with their eyes open." The old man did not mind it at all. If anything, he was very talkative, but what he said confused Li Jiu.
Zhang Fei naturally knew about sleeping with his eyes open. To be precise, anyone who had read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms would know that Zhang Fei was a person who slept with his eyes open.
But what confused Li Jiu was that he was not someone who slept with his eyes open … How did he become like this?
Li Jiu shook his head. He thought the old man might have been mistaken.
But even after he returned to his rented apartment, Li Jiu did not fall asleep. Whenever he felt sleepy, he would see the scary eyes staring at him.
"What the hell is going on?" Li Jiu was in a lot of pain. Drowsiness haunted his brain, but he could not fall asleep, and that made him very uncomfortable.
Li Jiu lay on the bed. The familiar wooden bed, the familiar pillow, and the familiar blanket made Li Jiu close his eyes very quickly. He was too tired, and his brain desperately needed rest.
Closing his eyes, Li Jiu saw the pair of eyes again, but this time, there was another pair of eyes. The two pairs of eyes kept staring at him. Li Jiu could even see one of the eyes bleeding. The bright red blood flowed out from the bottom of the eye and slowly dripped to the ground.
"Ah!!!" Li Jiu sat up immediately. Intense fear gripped his heart, and the drowsiness disappeared instantly.
"What is going on … What is happening to me?" Li Jiu held his head in pain.
He was reminded of the poem that he had seen at the bus stop that morning, the poem that he had thought was a heretical poem.
"Mo Fei, is that the poem?" Li Jiu started to doubt his life, but he still decided to go to the hospital.
Along the way, the drowsiness did not return, but Li Jiu was very agitated. To be honest, he did not want to go to the hospital.
As everyone knew, the hospital was a very expensive place. Therefore, when people fell sick, as long as they were not seriously ill, they would rather take their own medicine.
"I wonder if a few tens of thousands will be enough …" Li Jiu scratched his head. Then, he saw a wooden door in a small alley.
If not for Li Jiu's good eyesight, he probably would not have seen this wooden door.
"If I remember correctly, this is a dead end, right? It's an abandoned building. When did this wooden door appear? " Li Jiu was curious. Since he could not fall asleep, he decided to go in to see what was behind the wooden door.
Li Jiu walked over and pushed the door open. The first thing he heard was the sound of a wind chime. Then Li Jiu saw a restaurant and a waitress in a Fallen Angel costume walking over with a sweet smile.
"Welcome to Dream Restaurant, dear … two customers, what would you like to eat?" The waitress spoke, but her words stunned Li Jiu. He had clearly come in alone.
Li Jiu turned back to look and saw a gray shadow following behind him. He … or rather, she was not wearing any clothes, but there were two pairs of eyes, very familiar eyes, staring at him.
"F * cking Amitabha Buddha, Amen!" In shock, Li Jiu uttered a string of curses and even jumped back.
"What's wrong, sir?" Betty did not mind. It was just a gray shadow. What was so strange about it?
"This person … I don't even know him! He has to be a ghost! " Li Jiu screamed in fear. Didn't he see these scary eyes when he was about to fall asleep?
"That's quite strange." Chen Ze poked his head out to take a look. In just a moment, another pair of eyes had appeared on the gray shadow.
"Manager, what should we do?" Betty was troubled. The customer was hiding under the table.
"But I don't provide exorcism service here." Chen Ze did not know whether to laugh or cry at Li Jiu. This was the first time he had seen a customer who wanted to order an exorcism set meal.
Although Chen Ze could use a magic circle to destroy Kayako, Chen Ze could also see that the gray shadow was something like a curse. If it was destroyed, the customer would be reborn.
How troublesome.
