I'm a little stupid.

No matter how much I listened, I couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone.

I looked at Hu Die lying on the bed.

She lay motionless.

Who is calling my sister!?

And from the conversation between my sister and that person, it seems that the other person is planning to kill me?

Is it Xiaoyan? That female ghost who has been pestering me?

I was extremely anxious, so I roughly snatched the phone from my sister's hand, and put it to my ear while my sister looked at me in surprise.

blank.

Still blank.

There was no sound.

I held the phone in front of my eyes. The screen was dark and not bright at all.

It's like the words have never been spoken.

I woke up the phone screen and flipped to the phone's call history.

There is no call record on it, but the most recent outgoing call was actually made to me. Looking at the date, it was the day my father and I were at Hu Wenyuan's house to survey the scene.

It's just that the signal halfway was interfered by some unknown force.

Just like this time.

My sister clearly said that she has been on the phone with Hu Die in the past few days, so why is there no call record?

Is it really haunted?

"Why did you hang up the phone? Why don't you talk to her properly?" My sister looked at me dissatisfied and complained, "You two have a problem and you need to calm down and solve it properly. You are a man, please give in.

She ordered."

"You didn't delete the call history?" I was not in the mood to answer her question and asked her directly.

Just as my sister was about to answer me, Hu Wenyuan suddenly interrupted:

"Be careful, someone is coming outside."

Hearing his words, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart.

somebody is coming?

There are only a few of us in the village. How can anyone come at this time?

Is it Gao Zhijie? Or Xiaoyan?

Is it to fulfill the death announcement in the diary?

Just when I was about to ask Hu Wenyuan in detail, I suddenly couldn't say a word.

What's the sound behind the door of this cabin?

Cha... Cha... Cha...

My heart was in my throat again, and I looked at each other wordlessly with Hu Wenyuan. Neither of us moved.

"Is Xiaodie coming back? Well, is this uncle Xiaodie's father?" My sister didn't notice the tense atmosphere in the room. She heard Hu Wenyuan's voice and greeted Hu Wenyuan politely.

Hu Wenyuan just nodded without making too many moves.

"What's wrong with you?" My sister felt a little confused when she saw our serious expressions.

"Don't talk yet." I whispered to my sister and continued to listen attentively.

It's still the same voice.

Cha… Cha… Cha…

There was that intermittent scratching sound again.

It seemed like someone was scratching the broken door of this hut.

And the sound seems to be coming from the ground.

Did someone climb up to our door and scratch it?

Could it be that Xiaoyan came to claim her life?

I looked at the time on my sister's phone.

11:30.

There's still half an hour left.

At this time, the sound of scratching at the door gradually became louder, and even my sister realized that something was wrong.

"Who...who is knocking on the door?" My sister looked at me hesitantly and said, "Is Xiaodie back? Why...why don't you open the door?"

I didn't answer her.

Suddenly, there was a "thud" sound outside the door, as if something hit the door heavily, and then, there was an extremely shrill scream like some kind of animal coming from outside the door.

That scream full of resentment echoed outside the door, so close to us and so terrifying.

My sister was so frightened by the sound that she threw herself into my arms and cried.

After a while, the long-lasting screams gradually became smaller and smaller, as if they were being dragged away by someone.

Is the person who scratched the door just now asking for help?

Who was the person who dragged him away?

I can't hold it any longer. I have been experiencing horrific incidents in the past two days, so I can clearly understand the feeling of suffocation when a person is in a desperate situation and has no help.

I gently pushed my sister away from my arms, rushed to the door resolutely, twisted the door handle, and opened the small door.

A stream of cold air rushed towards my face.

The wind whistled in my ears.

The scream was almost inaudible.

I held the door handle and carefully stared at my feet and surroundings.

In the dark night, it was pitch black in the hills and nothing could be seen clearly.

There is no moon or stars in the sky, only the weak candlelight in my hand provides a faint light. The sky is gloomy and covered with clouds.

The air was so quiet that no sound could be heard.

No birds chirping, no wolves howling.

Everything stayed in place quietly, motionless.

Where is the guy scratching the door?

I held the candle in my hand, ready to continue exploring.

A dry, thin hand suddenly rested on my shoulder.

"Don't go, there is someone in front." It was Hu Wenyuan's voice.

I looked back at him, but suddenly I found that my sister had also taken a candle and followed him out with a face full of fear.

"What did you find?" I forced myself to calm down and asked Hu Wenyuan calmly.

He didn't hold a candle. In the dim candlelight in my hand, his face looked even paler and older.

"Look...look at your feet." I don't know if it was because of nervousness, but Hu Wenyuan suddenly gasped and pointed his finger diagonally at the ground in front of me.

I didn't think much and looked in the direction of his finger.

Still pitch black.

There seemed to be a dark mass lying in front.

I handed the candle over.

What appeared in front of me was a mass of bloody and rotten flesh.

What is this?

I squatted down and stared at the disgusting thing on the ground carefully.

It took me a lot of effort to see clearly that this was the owl that had been following me just now.

It's just that it had been torn in half alive, and then chewed up by some horrible animal, turning it into the slimy, disgusting piece of rotten meat in front of you.

Suddenly, a terrifying thought came to my mind: Could this bird be Xiaoyan?

And was that scream just now made by this bird?

Who did this?

Why did Hu Wenyuan know that there was someone in front of him based on this corpse alone?
