MTL - I Can Rewind-Chapter 458 Find a substitute
Chapter 458 Looking for a substitute
Gaosheng City, Seven Star Lake Community.
Yan Junze and Zhang Xiaomo stood in front of a family on the highest floor of this house.
Looking around, Yan Junze said: "This family should be in a good family. This is a duplex building. Adding up the top and bottom, I'm afraid it's close to 300 square meters."
Zhang Xiaomo said: "At the time of the incident, only the child and the mother were at home. When the nanny entered the house the next morning, she found something unusual. Then the host returned home at noon and called 4747."
"How many weird incidents have you found a substitute today?" Yan Junze shook his head and smiled wryly.
Zhang Xiaomo was surprised: "You mean, it's still weird to find a substitute here?"
"Yes." Yan Junze nodded, "So far, I haven't sensed any weird magnetic field, which is similar to what happened to Lin Fei's family last time."
Zhang Xiaomo naturally believed Yan Junze's words, because now Yan Junze's strength has reached a terrifying level when it comes to his perception of weirdness.
Of course Xiao Mo didn’t know that it was because he controlled the field, and said that this guy had finally aroused the special physique of a super-brilliant pen, and she was a little lucky secretly: her vision of choosing a man was really vicious.
"Pay attention later, the absence of weird magnetic field fluctuations does not mean that the weirdness has no magnetic field, it just hides it very well." Yan Junze reminded.
"So anyone here may be weird." Zhang Xiaomo took the words.
Having had the weird experience of unexpectedly killing the fake Lin Fei's parents at Lin Fei's house, now she believes that what she sees may not be real.
As Yan Junze said, you must pay attention to the details, blindly using the old way of dealing with weirdness will not work, because these guys have been evolving and using a weirder way.
Before coming, I had already called the host of the house. The host was upstairs, and the two of them waited for a while before opening the door.
"Mr. Spirit Exorcist, you are finally here! Please come in!"
A middle-aged man who looked quite mature and stable stood at the door. Although his face was full of tiredness, he forced a smile and let them into the room.
This time Zhang Xiaomo walked in front, Yan Junze was behind, the two entered the room and looked around.
"Your name is Xiao Yuanrui? What's the situation at home now?" Xiao Mo asked.
The male owner nodded and said: "My wife Gao Ruolan and her child Xinxin are both sleeping in the second bedroom. Both of them were frightened that night and dared not sleep in the master bedroom again. Xinxin was frightened into aphasia. How to speak."
"Where's your wife? Is she okay?" Xiaomo asked again.
Xiao Yuanrui shook his head, then nodded again, "I have to say, the power of maternal love is great. I know my wife is usually very timid, but at that time she just got rid of the weird entanglement, rushed out of the bedroom, hugged Xinxin and hid In the second bedroom. However, there were footsteps walking outside the bedroom all night, and she didn't take out her phone, so she and Xinxin wrapped themselves in blankets and waited until dawn for the nanny to arrive."
"After the babysitter came, did the monster disappear?" Yan Junze asked.
"Yeah." Xiao Yuanrui nodded, "I arrived at noon, and at that time I heard that the number of weirdnesses had suddenly increased here, and I was also afraid, so I temporarily found a Taoist priest who had given people salvation to take a look, and the man said that the weirdness had disappeared leave, but we are not at all at ease."
"Has the nanny gone back?" Yan Junze asked again.
"Well, I will let her go back that day, and wait for my notice before coming." Xiao Yuanrui said.
While talking, he went to the kitchen to make two cups of instant coffee, gave each of them a cup, then Xiao Yuanrui went to the kitchen again, and when he came out, he said to Yan Junze and the others: "You guys sit down first, I'll call my mother Girls wake up."
After finishing speaking, I went upstairs.
Zhang Xiaomo glanced at Yan Junze, then turned her gaze to the steaming coffee in front of her.
To be honest, she is already tired now, and she just wants to drink a cup of coffee to relieve her troubles.
Yan Junze shook his head, signaling her not to touch anything.
The two of them just sat like this for the time being, neither of them moved around. After a while, Xiao Mo asked, "Do you think there is anything wrong with the host, Xiao Yuanrui?"
"I can't see it for the time being." Yan Junze said honestly, "His performance seems to be no different from normal people."
"I can't see it either." Zhang Xiaomo said.
As soon as the words fell, a man came out of the kitchen, with a smile on his face, and said to them: "You guys sit down first, I will go and wake up the mother and daughter."
While speaking, he walked up the revolving wooden ladder and disappeared quickly.
Zhang Xiaomo's eyes widened suddenly, and she became a little cute for a while, and said in surprise: "What's going on? Didn't Xiao Yuanrui go upstairs just now? Why did you come out of the kitchen again?"
Yan Junze didn't speak, and was obviously surprised, but he just frowned, leaned forward to glance at the steaming coffee, and slowly stood up.
The sound of footsteps upstairs has disappeared.
And just when Yan Junze stood up, a man came out of the kitchen again, also smiling, and walked upstairs while talking: "You guys sit down first, I will wake up the mother and daughter."
"Wait!" Zhang Xiaomo yelled immediately.
But Xiao Yuanrui didn't seem to hear it, and went upstairs on his own, and the footsteps disappeared.
"If the next Xiao Yuanrui comes out of the kitchen again, I will follow her upstairs to have a look." Xiao Mo said to Yan Junze, and she pulled out the magnetic knife after saying that.
The situation is indeed a bit weird.
Asking Xiao Mo to wait here, Yan Junze walked directly to the kitchen door.
When he came outside the kitchen, he saw Xiao Yuanrui standing in front of the kitchen counter with his back facing him, not knowing what he was doing.
"Mr. Xiao?" Yan Junze asked, then walked into the kitchen.
He walked very carefully, tilting his head, wanting to see Xiao Yuanrui's side face for the first time, to see if this guy is himself, but a weird substitute.
Until he got to Xiao Yuanrui's side, this guy still lowered his head and said nothing, as if he couldn't sense Yan Junze's arrival at all.
Leaning forward, he found that he was pouring water into the coffee cup, the water had already overflowed the coffee cup, and a lot of foam was rolling over.
But the strange thing is that the overflowing water does not overflow from the edge of the cup, but just keeps rolling in the cup.
"Mr. Xiao?" Yan Junze looked at his face and shouted again.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice from outside the kitchen: "Sit down first, I'll go and wake up the mother and daughter."
Yan Junze was taken aback for a moment. No one came out of the kitchen just now, but the voice still rang out in the living room.
But now Yan Junze is sure that the completely unconscious person in front of him is more likely to be Xiao Yuanrui.
He immediately turned around and walked quickly to the kitchen, seeing that Zhang Xiaomo had disappeared, and seemed to have followed that "Xiao Yuanrui" upstairs.
Yan Junze ignored Xiao Yuanrui who kept pouring coffee in the kitchen, but immediately followed up the spiral wooden ladder, and soon stood on the dimly lit second floor.
The layout of the second floor is as large as the first floor, but it is simple and exquisite, and it is spotlessly clean.
At a glance, there are at least four bedrooms in the direction of the corridor, as well as study rooms, children's rooms, etc., but there is no one in sight.
Yan Junze didn't move for a while.
"Master bedroom? Second bedroom?"
He turned his neck and quickly fixed his gaze in the direction of one of the doors.
The decoration of this door is much more luxurious and upscale. It seems that it should be the master bedroom, while the door opposite the master bedroom is slightly worse, it may be the second bedroom.
Just now Xiao Yuanrui said that the mother and daughter did not dare to sleep in the master bedroom, so they probably lie in this bedroom, although Yan Junze is not sure how many bedrooms there are in this room.
Walking to the door of the suspected second bedroom, Yan Junze knocked on the door, but there was no response.
He directly twisted the doorknob and opened the door, and went in to see that the window inside was drawn with curtains, and the light was very dark, but not completely invisible.
Try to keep your eyes wide open, and after getting used to the darkness inside, you find that this is indeed the second bedroom. The bed inside is not a big bed, but it is relatively spacious. The quilt is slightly bulging, and it is squirming slightly, as if there is someone underneath.
Yan Junze fully opened the door. After approaching the edge of the bed, a series of crying sounds came out from under the wriggling quilt. The voice was not shrill, but very low, like an elderly man crying like a child.
Looking down, he saw a strand of gray hair exposed near the edge of the pillow, and the crying stopped abruptly.
A dry, old hand slowly stretched out from the side of the quilt near the edge of the bed, and calmly grabbed Yan Junze's thigh.
The next second, this hand grabbed his thigh, and at this time Yan Junze just lifted the quilt.
A skinny old man with gray and sparse hair, no clothes, and skin folds stacked together, his legs were bent, and he was lying on the bed. At the moment when Yan Junze lifted the quilt, he raised his head and opened his mouth, revealing no teeth The upper and lower gums, between the gums are full of thick yellow suspension.
The black spirit umbrella that Yan Junze had prepared a long time ago opened with a splash, covering the old man inside.
But what is surprising is that instead of being strangled by the black spirit umbrella, the old man jumped at Yan Junze with a flick of his body.
Yan Junze stepped back immediately, his thigh hurt, and his sharp nails were inserted into his flesh, and he slammed the black spirit umbrella, and the tip of the umbrella ruthlessly poked down at the rushing old man.
With a pop, the tip of the umbrella went straight through the bedding on the bed and reached the wooden board below.
But what is strange is that the skinny old man who just jumped on him disappeared without a trace!
"Hey hey hey..."
At this moment, a strange laughter sounded from the open door of the second bedroom.
Yan Junze turned his head and saw that the skinny old man had already arrived outside the corridor, hunched over, walked on tiptoe from the door, and walked to the other end of the corridor.
After a few steps, he came out, stood in the corridor outside the bedroom, turned his head and saw that the old man had just disappeared into the darkness at the innermost part of the corridor.
In that direction, there seemed to be something wriggling, crawling on the dark floor, with green eyes shining slightly, watching Yan Junze's every move.
Yan Junze glanced at the darkness, sneered, and walked towards the rotating wooden ladder without looking back, never thinking about entering the darkness at the other end of the corridor.
When he was about to get close to the wooden ladder, he spoke loudly and suddenly shouted: "Ning Ji, come and clean up these guys!"
As soon as these words came out, the thing crawling in the darkness froze for an instant, as if it had sensed something.
thump thump thump...
Extremely rhythmic and slow steps sounded under the revolving wooden ladder. A moment later, a beautiful woman in white with long fluttering hair, who looked like otherworldly fireworks, came to Shi Shi with a white lantern in her hand.
The lantern girl whom I haven't seen for a while still looks like the fairy when Yan Junze saw her.
After seeing Yan Junze, Lantern Girl leaned slightly, smiled, and said, "Have you seen my husband?"
Yan Junze laughed and said, "Isn't it in your hand? I forgot again."
"This silly woman! I'm here!"
The next moment, the white lantern that Lantern Girl was holding turned into Jia Sheng's head in an instant, with a ferocious face, swaying left and right.
Lantern Girl looked down, suddenly covered her mouth and smiled lightly, bowed her body again, and said to Yan Junze: "I made you laugh."
Yan Junze also smiled and said: "For some reason, I was plotted by these guys and fell into this strange dream. Please."
"You're welcome." Lantern Girl smiled lightly, and carried Jia Sheng's head and walked lightly towards the dark corridor.
And in the darkness, there were quick movements and restless growls immediately.
Yan Junze looked down at the wound on his thigh, stretched out his hand and pressed it hard, but there was no pain.
At this moment, there was a scream in the darkness of the corridor behind him.
Opened his eyes, he was still on the sofa on the first floor.
There are two cups of steaming instant coffee on the table in front of you.
Actually, from the very beginning when he saw Xiao Yuanrui pouring coffee in the kitchen, Yan Junze suspected that it was not real.
After going upstairs and discovering that the old man was weird, the black spirit umbrella didn't work at all, which further convinced Yan Junze that the world was false.
In the end, the old man disappeared directly under the attack of the black spirit umbrella and appeared outside the door, which made Yan Junze decide to summon the Lantern Girl immediately instead of continuing to waste time inside.
At this moment, he had an idea in his mind, called "Xiao Mo" twice, and then got up...
…
Zhang Xiaomo chased Xiao Yuanrui upstairs to the second floor, and saw Xiao Yuanrui quickly walked into the door of a second bedroom.
She yelled immediately, but the other party still ignored her. Immediately followed and opened the door, but there was no one inside.
thump thump thump...
There was the sound of fast running footsteps behind him, as if someone was running from behind.
Xiao Mo turned her head sharply, with the magnetic knife across her chest, she saw a boy running towards the dark direction at the end of the corridor.
She hesitated for a moment, and said, "Xinxin?"
The child did not stop, but continued to trot into the darkness.
A sharp scream came out from the darkness, Zhang Xiaomo was shocked, and rushed towards the darkness with a few quick steps.
After a few seconds, she stopped, her eyes were fixed on the dark place, she didn't go forward, but kept a guarded posture, staring at something in the dark.
An extremely subtle gasp can be heard in the ear, which seems to be a child's breathing, but it seems to be something else.
"Xinxin?"
After a moment of silence, Zhang Xiaomo spoke.
There was no answer in the darkness, but there was this seemingly indistinct gasp that kept coming.
Zhang Xiaomo still didn't move.
"Xiao Mo!"
At this moment, Yan Junze's voice sounded from behind, and his figure came upstairs quickly, with hurried steps.
Zhang Xiaomo made a booing gesture at him, and pointed to the darkness in the corridor.
"There is a problem inside, be careful." Yan Junze approached and said softly.
Zhang Xiaomo nodded, "The child named Xinxin ran in just now and screamed. I don't know what's going on now."
Yan Junze pressed the light switch in the corridor, but there was no response.
"You go ahead, I'll push back, go in and look for it." He lowered his voice.
With a bang, Zhang Xiaomo turned around suddenly, and the magnetic knife slashed across Yan Junze's neck.
Yan Junze, who was defenseless, tilted his head and rolled down from his shoulders, but no blood flowed from the broken neck.
"Sure enough, it's fake."
Zhang Xiaomo was talking to herself, and then she heard another scream in the darkness behind her, she subconsciously backed away immediately, and stared at the darkness warily.
A moment later, it seemed that a white figure was swaying, and walked out of the darkness.
This is a woman with fluttering long hair, as beautiful as a fairy, holding a white lantern.
"Is that you?" After seeing Zhang Xiaomo, she asked politely.
His lips moved, but he finally endured it and didn't say the words "Have you seen my husband?"
