The night is dark, and the night cannot dissipate like thick ink. It is midnight, and the streets of the coastal city are full of night fog.

The theater gates are closed, the shopping malls are closed, the streets are deserted, and the major campuses are no longer as hustle and bustle as the daytime.

Various figures were curled up under the brick walls on the street, and people returning home from night were floating alone under the dim street lights.

The deep nightfall made the city a little cold. From the first time humans sat around a bonfire and took turns telling strange stories hidden behind the night, various legends were lingering everywhere.

Those serial killers, terrifying madmen and terrifying monsters who are hiding in the darkness in the legend, have become creepy nightmares, making people unconsciously afraid of the night because the monsters are hidden in the darkness...

Lin Hua, who was alone at home, glanced at the golden retriever who had already lying on the sofa, and seemed to have made great determination to turn off all the lights in the house, but the lights in the bathroom were on.

He held two candles in his left hand and looked at the white light coming from the opaque glass of the bathroom door, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

Lin Hua was a little timid, or fearful, as if he was thinking in his mind that standing on the edge of a cliff might feel nothing, but once he personally stepped on the edge of a cliff and saw the abyss under the cliff, he realized that there was danger and instinct would become terrified.

After all, fear is a sign when a person is about to face danger. This is the instinct of self-protection deep in everyone's genes.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Hua subconsciously looked at the watch on his right wrist. The time displayed on the watch was exactly twelve o'clock in the morning.

This is exactly what the ancients often said from 11 o'clock to 1 a.m.!

It is rumored that at twelve o'clock in the morning, the end of the day and the beginning of the intersection, and the most vague time for the birth and death, extinction and rebirth of heaven and earth. Many unexpected abnormal phenomena often occur.

The reason why Lin Hua chose to turn off the lights and enter the bathroom at this time was that he planned to try the method recorded on parchment. After all, the content above seemed to tell him that there was a way to continue to live.

Faced with death, Lin Hua was calm about him, but he was still repelled in his heart and still longed for survival.

Since his parents disappeared, he had asked about the reason, but his uncle kept his mouth shut. At that time, he was decadent and confused, and finally survived.

At least he has eaves to cover his body and his limbs are healthy, far from being able to give up on himself completely. Compared to those with truly miserable destiny, he thinks he is lucky.

He longed to survive, at least to see his parents again. If his parents really encounter misfortunes, they must also find out the reasons. If there is really a way to survive, no matter how ridiculous it is, Lin Hua is willing to give him a try!

Outside the bathroom, the light shone on Lin Hua's face through opaque glass. The white lights contrasted with his solemn expression, making the surroundings look so quiet.

Lin Hua took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked slowly into the bathroom.

In today's era when every inch of land is valuable, the area of ​​the bathroom has been squeezed hard by developers, and it is only a few square meters at most.

Lin Hua stood alone in the bathroom, looked at the large mirror on the sink, looked at the bathroom for a while, then cleaned up the towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste and other items on the sink, and placed them on the shelf next to it.

Then place two candles on the left and right before two fingers away from the mirror.

Then go out and bring a chair, put it in the bathroom, and then close the bathroom door.

Take out the lighter, light the candle, turn off the lights...

A click!

Once the lights fade, the surroundings fall into darkness, and the only source of light is a candle.

The candlelight flashes, swaying, and the shadows are slim...

Lin Hua sat on the chair, facing the mirror, and the figure in the mirror looked at him quietly.

Maybe it was psychological reasons or the atmosphere was too weird, and the distorted candlelight intertwined through the mirror, causing inexplicable depression around the surroundings.

Lin Hua looked at the reflection in the mirror, staring at the faint candlelight shaking in his pupils in the mirror. For some reason, the ordinary image in the mirror seemed strange and strange at this moment.

This strange sense of vision made Lin Hua feel cold on his spine, and he unconsciously wriggled his eyes, moving his eyes to the burning candle.

The small space in the bathroom, the cramped environment, and the two sitting opposite each other, this scene instinctively makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Try it..." Lin Hua said to himself.

Close your eyes and your vision fell into darkness. Through his eyelids, he could only feel the faint light and shadow.

Fortunately, it is not the quietest darkness...

Close your eyes and breathing, Lin Hua noticed the candlelight that seemed to be there and there was nothing, even though this breath was equivalent to nothing.

He began to make seals with his hands. Lin Hua, who had already remembered it, made handprints on parchment paper in turn.

Three gestures are done one by one.

In this way, Lin Hua closed his eyes and did it over and over again, while silenced in his heart.

I don’t know how long it took, Lin Hua monumentally counted twenty and stopped.

Then I began to recite...

A low voice floated out.

“From wherever you come and go…”

Over and over again, as if calling someone in the mirror and calling him.

After a close recession, every time I recite it, it seems that the unknown thing in the mirror is one step closer to Lin Hua.

I don't know how long I've been reciting...

Gradually, Lin Hua became numb and repeated his movements like a puppet.

When he was numb and drowsy, the candle fire breath that he felt in his closed eyes disappeared in an instant!

Even if there is no trace...

Normally, even if ordinary people close their eyes, they can still feel the light and shadow of the outside world, even if they are weak, unless they fall asleep.

But at this moment, Lin Hua noticed the silent darkness, quietness and coldness, and without giving him a slight reaction, it suddenly came.

Completely stripped of his vision!

The strange mutation, like a needle stimulating his nerves, almost made Lin Hua subconsciously shut up.

The Adam's apple rolled, and Lin Hua immediately adjusted and continued to recite the mantra.

"Is it an illusion? Or... the candle is out..."

A thought flashed in his mind, and his heart began to be restless, and doubts gradually lingered in his heart.

"Why open your eyes and take a look...

It shouldn't be a big problem if you open your eyes...

Maybe I was scared by myself, and when I opened my eyes, I knew whether the candle was extinguished or not..."

The low whisper in his heart was like a seductive chant from the darkness, which moved Lin Hua's heartstrings, so that his eyelids began to tremble restlessly.

"Don't open your eyes!"

A cold voice suddenly appeared in his mind as he was about to open his eyes.

This sound seems to be a human being born with a survivor’s intuition that bursts out in times of crisis!

Lin Hua couldn't help but frown, suppressing the urge to open his eyelids.

He didn't know why, but he felt that once he opened his eyes at this moment, in the endless darkness, there would be a pale face that was tightly attached to him and a grim smile without making a sound...

Or a pair of soul-devouring eyes are waiting for him to submit...

I don’t know if I was scaring myself, but the messy thoughts in my mind really made Lin Hua feel cold from head to toe.

Just as Lin Hua tried his best to suppress the urge to open his eyes, he realized something was wrong again...

"Where is my voice?"

"Where did my voice go?"

When he found that his vision was completely in darkness, the candle seemed to be extinguished, suppressing his curiosity when he opened his eyes as much as possible.

The sound of reciting the mantras disappeared...

Lin Hua, who closed his eyes, felt the touch from his wriggling mouth. He was sure that he was still reciting the mantra, but why he couldn't hear the sound?
Chapter completed!
