The warm water soothed his nerves. Huang Yin finally calmed down and his body regained some energy.
He shrunk the video window down to its original size. Then Huang Yin moved the video to the side and started to play comedy and cartoons on the main screen.
Listening to the funny jokes and the festive music, he dared to turn back to the video window.
The video continued to play. The man in the video used his phone to film behind him. It was clear that he was very afraid. His forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
"Has it entered my home?"
Grabbing the glass ashtray from the coffee table, the man used his phone to film around the room. It was unclear whether he was talking to himself or someone else. "Can the phone really capture it?"
The man in the video carefully inspected all the rooms. There was no ghost inside. Huang Yin also paid close attention to the man's home. He did not notice anything out of place.
"But the neighbor said that the ghost has entered my home." The man was still very worried. "Could it be that the neighbor is possessed by a ghost? Is he in cahoots with the ghost? The ghost didn't actually enter my home, he was just trying to trick me into opening the door? "
The more the man thought about it, the more convinced he was. "The neighbor is purposely trying to scare me. When I open the door to escape, the ghost will really come in!"
At this point, the man's arms were covered with goosebumps. "Thankfully, I didn't listen to him. I almost opened the door …"
Bzzt! Bzzt!
The phone that was in the middle of filming suddenly vibrated. The man had no choice but to exit the recording mode. He glanced at the caller ID and his expression softened. "Honey? Why are you calling me at a time like this? You're still awake? "
"There are too many bugs in the countryside. I can't sleep." The woman's voice was tinged with resentment. "When can my son and I go home? Did you really see a ghost in the stairwell? "
"Why would I lie to you about something like that?!" The man's voice suddenly rose. Then as if worried about being overheard by the ghost outside the door, he quickly lowered his voice. "Just hold on for a little longer. If there's no other choice, we'll figure out a way to buy this house before anything happens. Don't you and your son want to move to the new city?"
"Do you have enough money? Stop daydreaming every day! I think you should take a few days off and go see a doctor. Stop being so paranoid. "
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Listening to the woman's familiar voice on the phone, the fear in the man's heart slowly dissipated. He placed the glass ashtray on the shoe rack at the corner of the screen. "By the way, I haven't told you yet. The voice appeared again today! There's more than one of them! "
When the man lowered his voice to talk to the woman on the phone, the shoe cabinet in the corner of the video seemed to be pushed open by something. It seemed like an arm reached out from the shoe cabinet and grabbed the heavy glass ashtray.
"Let me tell you, the neighbor across the street might have been possessed by a ghost. Earlier, he came knocking on the door, saying that there is a ghost in our house, but if he really saw a ghost, would he dare to leave the house? "The man walked out of the video while talking on the phone. His shadow was reflected on the tiles.
"He still wants to trick me to go out. How can I go out at this time?"
The glass ashtray on the shoe cabinet began to move slowly, slowly disappearing from the screen.
"Honey, stay a few more days, I promise …"
When the man said that, another shadow appeared on the tiles. It was very blurry, like it did not have a physical body.
The man did not notice it at all but Huang Yin saw it clearly from outside the screen. The blurry shadow raised the ashtray and then smashed it heavily on the man's head.
Bang! Bang! Bang …
One after another, the blood splattered on the tiles and the shoe rack. Then the man's bloody face collapsed in the middle of the screen. His eyes were wide open, and they were filled with terror.
The video froze there but it was not over yet.
The man's phone fell to the ground. His wife thought that something had happened and kept screaming for help.
After a while, Huang Yin saw the arm reappear. It picked up the phone from the ground and started to imitate the man's voice.
"It's okay, honey. I just killed a rat. The strange noise these few days probably came from it."
"Then do we still need to stay in the countryside? This place is dirty, messy, and full of bugs. "
"If you really don't want to stay in the countryside, then come back tomorrow."
"Really?"
"Yes, thank you for your hard work. I'll cook you a feast."
After the call ended, blood-red shoe prints appeared one after another on the floor behind the man. The originally closed door was suddenly opened, and someone knocked on the neighbor's anti-theft door.
The window that was playing the video suddenly darkened. When it returned to normal, the video was much darker. The scene was no longer the staircase but a luxurious bedroom.
Two women with very good skin sat by the bed. One was wearing a facial mask and the other was recommending some kind of skincare product.
They were both wearing pajamas. Both of them had very good figures and their conversation was very casual.
As they chatted, one of the women suddenly glanced at the clock on the bedroom wall. The clock said it was 3 am.
Her expression shifted slightly and then she reached out to hold the other woman's hand.
"Thank you for coming to accompany me, Ah Xin. After my husband disappeared for no reason, I have to live in such a big house alone. It's quite scary. "
"Xiao Jie, don't say that." Ah Xin had average looks but a good personality. She could see that Liu Jie was in a bad mood and purposely tried to cheer her up. "If not for you, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep in such a luxurious bed for the rest of my life."
"If you want to stay here, you can come back more often." The girl called Xiao Jie hugged Ah Xin. "It's so nice to have you as a friend."
"Hurry up and go to sleep. It's such a waste to put on such expensive skincare products." Ah Xin crawled under the covers. She was about to turn off the bedroom light when she was stopped by Xiao Jie.
"Why don't we not turn off the lights? I'm afraid of the dark. "Xiao Jie also lay down in bed.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
"By the way, Ah Xin, there's one more thing I need to tell you." Xiao Jie looked at Ah Xin seriously. "I seem to have a habit of sleepwalking. If I wake up after I fall asleep, you have to wake me up."
"Sleepwalking?"
"Yes, I actually don't know. My husband told me about it before."
"I promise I'll wake you up. Don't worry, go to sleep." The two girls pulled over the covers. The bedroom light was still on.
The video playing on the small window suddenly went black. When the video came back, the lights in the luxurious bedroom had been switched off. The clock on the wall said it was 3.30 am.
Deng, deng, deng …
A strange sound came from the video. It was hard to tell what it was from the sound alone.
Ah Xin, who was in bed, was woken up by the sound. She rubbed her eyes and called out to Xiao Jie softly but there was no answer.
When she reached over to the other side of the double bed, she realized there was no one there.
"Xiao Jie?"
She sat up from the bed in a daze. Ah Xin realized someone had switched off the bedroom light.
She tried to press the switch but the light did not come on. "Is it tripped? Or is the fuse gone? "
Holding the flashlight on her phone, Ah Xin called Xiao Jie's name as she walked to the bedroom door.
The strange sound seemed to come from the kitchen. She carefully crossed the living room and pushed open the kitchen door.
"Xiao Jie?"
Xiao Jie stood before the chopping board with her eyes closed. She gripped the table knife with both hands and slashed at the chopping board. There was nothing on the board.
