Chosen Son

Chapter 66 Gluttony

I heard Hu Jing say: "Nonsense, your mother just washed her hands and peeled the apples. Of course her hands are cold. The little bastard still doesn't understand me, help me do more work, just like your father, I will die of exhaustion." me."

Gu Fan: "...that's it."

He shrunk his neck and didn't continue speaking wisely.

It wasn't until Hu Jing walked out of the room and closed the door that he breathed a sigh of relief.Although Hu Jing said that, he still felt that something was wrong, because at the moment when his two hands touched, what he felt was not ordinary coolness, but a touch similar to ice cubes or glass. To describe it, it was about the same temperature as the barrier he touched in the afternoon.

This made him suddenly feel that the face that made him feel close and at ease became strange.

Could it be that, like his absurd guess during the day, all the people here are not human?So what are they?

Barriers, icy hand warmth, wind and snow...

He felt that something was breaking out of his heart, but his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a cry: "Fanpan, I'm out to eat, and the dishes are all on the table."

The dishes are still the ones he usually eats, and there is nothing wrong with them.It's just that when he looked at the faces of his dear parents again, he always felt creepy, and even his appetite became a little bit poor. After eating two bites, he slipped back to the room on the grounds that he was not feeling well.

The direct consequence of this was that he woke up hungry in the middle of the night.

Before going to sleep, he closed the doors and windows very carefully, and the curtains were drawn to the thickest layer. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were full of darkness.The sound of vehicles passing by on the road was isolated in a distant place by the soundproof windows, and the ticking of the wall clock in the room was the only sound in the silence.

When Gu Fan was a child, he searched all kinds of ghost stories for a period of time, which caused him to be afraid of the dark and often slept with the lights on, but this problem has been almost cured in the process of growing up. Only occasionally.And Ms. Hu Jing, who loves to watch dramas, often spends most of the night chasing dramas in her study with snacks and drinks in her arms, so that when he wakes up and sees the lights on at the door, he instinctively feels at ease.

It's just that now in this familiar yet unfamiliar room, he has only himself left.The sense of fear left in his childhood memories quietly returned to his mind.

He just had a very strange dream. In the dream, he was still lying in his room, but when he opened his eyes and looked at the top of the bed, a blue-faced fangs face suddenly appeared and grinned at him. , Laughing so hard that his whole body was stiff, but he couldn't move, and he struggled for a long time before he woke up from the nightmare.It's just that the scene in the dream was so shocking that when he opened his eyes suddenly, he mistakenly saw the tattered chandelier as the face in the dream, and almost had a heart attack.

He turned over and sat up, realizing that he was already covered in a cold sweat.

A light leaked from the crack of the door, and he took out the cell phone lying beside him, and found that it was only after midnight, and Ms. Hu Jing was obviously finishing up her drama in the study.He didn't care whether he would invite her or not, and turned on the light in the room with a "snap".

The furnishings in the room have not changed much, those looking eerie objects in the dark are quietly lying where they should be, looking quiet and well-behaved.

Stimulated by the light, he couldn't fall asleep for a while. After sitting on the bed for a while, he suddenly thought of the lighted window he saw in the evening, so he jumped out of bed barefoot and opened the window. He opened the heavy curtains a bit and looked towards the opposite side.

As he expected, it was still on.

Who is on the other side?

He scratched his hair a little irritably, and made a bold decision.

He left the light on, grabbed two ordinary clothes and changed into them, quietly opened the door a crack, saw that the door of the study room was ajar, closed the door behind his back, and tiptoed into the living room, seeing no movement in the room , Overjoyed in his heart, he opened the door and entered the corridor. He was not relieved until the door closed with a "bang" sound, and rushed down the corridor at the fastest speed in his life.

He must find out whether there are people or ghosts in the building opposite today!

The wind in the middle of the night is still a bit cold, especially in the weather that is said to be snowing soon.He zipped his clothes up to his chin, put on his hat, and walked to the opposite building.

Their community is relatively strict, and they require a key card to enter and exit the door, but he vaguely remembers that on the day he had a car accident, he happened to see the door of the opposite building open, and two bricks were placed under the door, which should be The credit card machine was broken and was waiting for maintenance. According to the timeline, this should be the next day. If he guessed correctly, the door was still open.

He sucked his nose that was red from the cold, feeling his heart beating faster, and when he was only a few steps away from the door of the opposite building, he managed to see the half-hidden door.

Sure enough, a brick was embedded under the door.

He was overjoyed, and ran to the door in small steps. Before his hand could touch the doorknob, he heard a familiar voice not far behind him.

His blood ran cold all of a sudden.

Holding the cold armrest, he looked back and saw Hu Jing, who was supposed to be sitting in the study watching dramas, standing tens of meters away, coaxing him softly: "Fan Fan, come back with me."

He still wasn't moving fast enough.

He let go of his hands hesitantly, just as he was about to find a reason to deal with this familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of him, his pupils shrank suddenly, and suddenly thought of something, he only had time to raise his head to glance at Hu Jing's face, and pulled away the handle violently. rushed into the building.

Total darkness.

The elevator happened to stop at the number 1, but he had to swipe his card to enter the elevator. He didn't have the card of this building, so he had no choice but to rush into the corridor.The sound of slippers kicking and tapping came from behind, and Hu Jing had already chased after her.

Gu Fan ran up one floor, but found that there was no sound of footsteps behind him, so he suddenly looked up at the elevator, and sure enough, it was slowly ascending.

Gu Fan didn't even need to look to know where it would stop.

The eighth floor, that is the floor number of his own house, and it is also the floor of the room he is facing.

He can now be sure that Hu Jing is not only not a normal person, but also a monster.

He thought of Hu Jing's face that he had glanced at just now. It was a face with expressionless face and dull eyes. Those eyes that were originally lively and concerned were full of nothingness, like a hollow machine without a soul. He spoke gentle and gentle words, but he was as indifferent as if he was performing a task.

Gu Fan was almost coaxed by such a voice, and walked to her side.At that time, he didn't know what he was about to face.

What alerted him was actually very simple.

He ran out in the middle of the night without saying any reason. The first reaction of a normal person is that he has lost his mind or has some special reason, but Hu Jing didn't even ask. The first sentence The words are "come back with me".

It's as if she knew what he was going to do when he came out.

This kind of thing can't be thought about carefully, goose bumps will come out all over the body.He shuddered violently, listened intently, and sure enough, he heard the sound of the elevator door opening and closing, and the jumping red number not far in front of him stopped beating at some point and stopped on the "8" .

I'm such a little wit.

Gu Fan slandered, heard the sound of slippers disappearing for a while, and then came to the entrance of the corridor, and hurried down, but when he ran to the first floor, he was surprised to find that the door with a brick embedded just now was locked.

It fit perfectly, no matter how hard he twisted it, he couldn't unscrew it. It was clear that he meant to lock him in the building.

Gu Fan didn't have time to think about it, and directly opened the small door leading to the basement.

The door was very heavy, and when he tried to push it open, the sound of slippers was approaching. He pushed the door firmly with his backhand, and slid down the dusty railing at the fastest speed in his life. At the end, I saw the elevator door in front of me slowly opening, revealing a piece of pink clothes.

It was Hu Jing's pajamas.

Strictly speaking, it was the color he had chosen for Hu Jing before. Although it was a little pink, it looked especially beautiful in a bright purple and earthy yellow. For this reason, Hu Jing even scolded him for perfunctory, but now When he looked at this color again, he felt terrified no matter how he looked at it, and he only had time to curse in his heart, and ran out before Hu Jing came out.

It could be that he slipped his car in the underground garage every day when he was taking his driver's license test. He was familiar with the terrain here and had a good advantage. However, after running for a while, he found something was wrong.

Hu Jing is obviously on the hook, no matter where he runs, he can accurately judge his location, as long as he stops, she will be caught by her in a short time, and she has obviously surpassed the ordinary family The women's setting is to walk faster and faster, walking like flying, and not even panting for breath. Gu Fan feels a little exhausted after running for a while.

It's just that compared with physical strength, life is obviously more important.

Holding on to the pillar beside him, he took a breath and quickly observed his position.

He was consciously running towards the exit just now, and he should not be far away from that place now, but what happened was contrary to his wishes, he found that Hu Jing was obviously aware of this, she stopped chasing and started walking towards the exit.

My dear mother, are you an artificial intelligence?

He was so shocked that he even forgot to run, he just looked at the somewhat thin figure in front of him and sighed.Hu Jing turned around and stared at him blankly, the whites of her eyes almost rolled out, she just repeated in that gentle voice:

"Go back with me."

Gu Fan's eyes darkened, and he almost passed out.
