The mirror stared at the yellow lucky paper hanging below the small bell, Zoe didn't know what was written on it, he reached out his hand to touch it, suddenly the paper caught fire, Zoe was startled very quickly. Pulling his hand back, he was surprised and frightened at the sight of the paper leaf, which was now burned to ashes, and fell to the wooden floor, he was a little worried in his heart.What is this thing?... Neil, what kind of person is he to have weird things in the house? Or is that what keeps spirits from coming near this house? If that's the case, is it okay if I set it on fire? Does Neil have anything to do with this to chase me away?Zoe nervously ran down to her room and closed the window. He lay on the bed, eyes still wide open thinking about what just happened.Time passed slowly, and after a long time Zoe turned her head to look at the clock on the table, it was eleven o'clock at night. At this time, the door opened outside, and Neil had returned. Zoe stood up, he
After spending a night talking together, both Zoe and Neil couldn't sleep when they returned to their room. Zoe kept thinking about the paper on that wind chime why it burned when he touched it, and about Neil's unexpected accident when he was quite young, it was also a psychological shock that he is very difficult to overcome, it seems that he is not a person with a happy and peaceful inner life as he thought. Across the room, Neil was also lying on the floor looking at the ceiling, wondering if Zoe was asleep now or if he still remembered the accident he had just told him about.Thoughts brought anxiety until it was calm again, and both of them fell asleep when it was quite late.Because I slept late, I just dreamed that the lovely face of the person sleeping in the next room was radiant with the gentle morning sunlight, the eyes were moist, the eyelashes were very long, and the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, making people's hearts flutter. motion. Following that face, N
The car was parked on the side of the road for a while, Neil started the car, and the car drove slowly through the park. On the busy road with traffic and people passing by because today is Sunday. A few meters ahead, the traffic light had turned red. Neil slowed down again as if he was looking for something, passing the green light in front of him, a long flowing slope. Neil turned left and stopped in front of a bar, he got out and opened the car door, took Zoe's hand, and went inside. Zoe didn't understand what he wanted to do at the bar in the morning, but before he could open his mouth to ask, Neil pulled his hand and pushed the door inside. At this time, there are no customers in the shop, only one person is cleaning with a broom.As soon as he saw Neil, the glasses inside were bright blue-black pupils with a smile on his lips, and he said to the two people who were entering in a half-joking voice."Policeman, why are you checking my shop at this hour, it's open at 8 pm, would yo
From that day on, every evening Neil drove Zoe to the bar to work. The job gradually became familiar, and in a short time, he also made many new friends who were beautiful hostesses working together, they were students working part-time at this bar.Tonight it is quite cool, the night is gentle, the wind is blowing gently, it is very comfortable to ride a bicycle in this weather. Neil was busy with work tonight and couldn't take Zoe to work, so he used his bicycle. The road to the Night shop is not too far, the wheels are just like that comfortably rolling down the road. Each building with cream-colored walls, cafes, and restaurants follows the rotation of the wheel and drifts away. Colorful billboards advertising restaurant services and gas stations cast square shadows on the walls of tall buildings illuminated by street lights.It took about thirty minutes for Zoe to arrive, even though he was wet, but looking at the scenery on the road made him forget to check his watch, it was alm
The man who spoke half of the time suddenly stopped, then smiled again, and walked closer. Zoe gritted his teeth, he knew it wasn't good, but what to do now, his head was bleeding a lot, the blood reached his eyes, making his eyes sting, under the dim street lights making his vision worse. Zoe quickly wiped the blood on her eyes and clenched her fists in anticipation, her face became very unsightly. Many ghosts were flying around beside him. Zoe knew he was scared, he also knew that he was weak and could not resist the power of the other man, but at this moment, besides using his power, there was nothing he could do to save himself. Zoe's eyes were as red as blood, and her hands were cold. At this time, the distance between the two was already very close, when the man suddenly rushed over, Zoe jumped up immediately to react with all his strength, he opened his mouth wide, invisible energy was released, and nearby souls were sucked into his body, the terrifying force pushed the man away
Resting for a day at home with Neil, in the evening, although Neil did not agree to let him go to work, Zoe refused to stay at home. Because he didn't want to take a break from work less than a week ago, and also because he wanted to know how the man was last night when he was vaguely calm because he was too scared to run away, so he just rushed to see The man lay crouched and did not move.Because of Zoe's persistence, Neil had to drive him to the Night shop to work. Zoe came early today, he was injured, so Neil didn't let him use the bike, but directly returned Zoe to the bar. As soon as I entered the door, I heard the chatter of the waitresses about the man who died in the dark alley. Neil walked over to where Roger was sitting at the bar, and Zoe bowed to the boss and went straight inside to get ready for work.Roger glanced at Zoe a little confused, turned to Neil, and asked, "What's wrong with his head?""She had an accident." Neil walked over and pulled out a chair and sat down
When all the employees of the Night bar were full, Roger stood in front of Brian with a very serious expression and slowly spoke."That's all my staff members have, sir, these three are part-time students."Roger pointed to them one by one, "Myra, Sunny, May, Bie, and Zoe have only been here for two days.""Thank you, Mr. Roger."Brian stepped in front of the three girls, "I would like to introduce myself, I'm police officer Brian Smith, I would like to ask if anyone saw any strange and unusual visitor here last night?"The three girls thought for a moment and then shook their heads in unison. Bie is the longest employee here, he stood on behalf of the other three girls and said, “Most of the customers who come to the shop are regular customers, otherwise they are also friends of the owner, so we all know each other, and Only when they have all left will we be able to get off work.”"So who's the last to leave here?" Brian asked.The policeman's gaze drifted to the last standing face
Neil is the only son in the family but why does he tell Zoe that he has a brother who commits crimes and is being held in juvenile detention? How is this? Why would Neil have to lie to you?Zoe rolled her eyes and sat inside the bar, by which time Roger had left the bar. While countless inexplicable thoughts were whirling around in his head, Zoe suddenly heard a voice in his ear, a voice so familiar that he never intended to hear it again.Jill was fluttering around Zoe, excitedly blowing cold air into his ear and whispering."Remember me, Zoe?... It's sad, you'll probably never remember this lonely ghost, and I miss you so much, I'm going to find you so miserable that you want to die."“I thought you were bored with me and wanted to go and find new friends.” Zoe coldly replied to Jill.Jill stopped and sat down in front of Zoe, “Bored! I never told you that I was bored of you, that day I was pushed down the street by that guy, and then I couldn't keep up with you, so I lost you."Zoe
The morning sun shone the first ray of sunlight through the window, calling out the bright innocent face of the teenager, the eyelashes moved slightly because the morning sunlight called in and blinded the eyes, Zoe raised her hand to rub it. rub and open your eyes. He woke up and turned his head to look to the side, his eyes unconsciously curving up slowly blinking, and then slowly melting into a smile on his lips, both innocent and cute looking at Neil lying next to him, hugging him. He gently lifted his hand to the side and got out of bed. After personal hygiene, he did not forget to hastily make breakfast for Neil and then leave the house to go to school, the sky was raining sporadically, and the fog was condensing in the air, very similar to the fateful afternoon that Zoe had left.When Neil opened his eyes, there was no one beside him, even the only remaining warmth had long since disappeared, he jumped up and ran out to search, giving himself the comfort that Zoe had not left.
That evening, when he got drunk from the bar and returned home. Neil was limp like a corpse walking on the ground, he didn't care about what was around him, including Zoe.He helped him into the room and then again took warm water to wipe his face, Zoe sat looking at Neil for a long time, he propped one hand on the bed, the other hand raised to stroke Neil's hair behind his head. Neil's handsome face now revealed a ghostly expression that made Zoe unnaturally lick his lips, suddenly he lowered his head to kiss his soft lips, his hand pulled Neil to help him open his mouth, stupid tongue licking. Zoe couldn't control himself, the tip of his tongue was constantly searching for the tip of Neil's tongue. Just a light kiss made his heart beat faster with urgency, the unfamiliar pleasure made Zoe's whole body vibrate.When the kiss ended Zoe put her finger on Neil's lips gently touching them back and forth, Neil in dreamy drunkenness opened his mouth, and his head brushed against Zoe's fing
As night falls, the fading darkness covers the whole scene. The street was quiet without a shadow of people, only one bar was still active.The shop door "next to" one opened. Neil quietly walked inside, he went to the bar and patted the person sitting on the shoulder.Roger turned his head in surprise, "Wao, what wind brought you here today?"Neil pulled down a chair and gestured to Bie who was standing inside the bar, "A beer."Roger looked back and forth, "Where's Zoe?"“Go camping with your classmates.”Neil gulped down half the beer in one gulp, then brought it to his mouth to take another gulp.He extended his hand to Bie again, "Another bottle."“Hey hey, why are you drinking so hard?”Roger pulled Neil's hand while he continued to drink another bottle of beer that Bie had just passed, and after finishing Neil put the empty glass bottle on the table, silently saying nothing.“Is it about that cop Brian?” Roger asked.Neil shook his head, "It's settled, he shot people with a gun
Stepping out of the car, Zoe looked around, her eyes were met with a house that was both strange and familiar, the surrounding walls were painted white with beautiful transparent glass windows, smelling of family. On the entrance door hung a long withered Christmas wreath, all very familiar to the eye but unable to remember. Zoe mumbled, “Really familiar…” He thought to himself, “Have I lived here before?” He reached out his hand to touch the dried flower wreath and spontaneously smiled. “Is this a dream? Or… Are the dreams from the past in the past?” Zoe was a little confused, but the feeling was so unforgettable that he didn't know what was the truth. "I'll go home." Neil very naturally took Zoe's hand, he didn't pull his hand back but just looked at him and let him take his hand and lead him into the house. Neil gave him a tour of the house, then went to see his bedroom. This time after returning home with Neil, Zoe's temperament changed quite a bit, no longer as quiet as befo
Lying on the bed in the hospital, Zoe dreamily fell asleep for a long time, when the phone next to the bed rang again, Zoe tried to open her eyes, feeling like her whole body was falling apart, he opened it. The phone stared at the phone number for a long time, he couldn't remember who he knew, his mind was very confused right now.Finally, he still pressed the listen button: "Who is it?"At the other end of the phone, there was a bit of noise at first, but after a while, it was quiet again, and a soft male voice came to the ear:“It's me, Roger, are you okay? Everyone in the bar was very worried about you, at that time I was knocked unconscious by Brian so I didn't know anything, I heard that you were shot in the stomach by Brian to save Neil, and when I heard that he was awake, I called to inquire.""I am fine." Although she did not know who this person was, Zoe answered anyway."When you get out of the hospital and feel better, come back to my bar, don't mind you rest, I'll hang up
By the time Zoe passed out, an ambulance had arrived to take him and Neil to the hospital. Brian also calmed down, he tried to remember and explain to the police what happened. But he wasn't so sure because it seemed like the stories were both real and vaguely worded.Today, when he followed Zoe James to the Night bar and waited for a long time, no one came back, so he decided to go in and take a look, he didn't know that behind this bar there was a shortcut to the alley to leave the bar. , and Zoe went out that way. Brian just went inside the bar, when he passed the bar he heard a noise from behind, he gently walked over to see it, and vaguely, he saw a white shadow passing by, then he was confused. unconscious and can't remember anything. When I woke up, I found myself lying in Neil's house, my whole body ached as if I had just been beaten to death by a group of people, but strangely, there were no injuries on my body, not even a bruise. . Seeing Neil hug Zoe again and cry bitterly,
Zoe's oppressive power is so strong that it makes people shudder, an introvert who suddenly reacts with overwhelming excitement to oppress like a demon, Jill even has a deep plot was also weaker when standing in front of Zoe, he was really scared right now for a moment when his face turned pale.Jill choked on the words, “Hey hey… You can't kill me, I'm just joking, Zoe… As long as you spare me this time, I can do whatever you want… Zoe doesn't do it As for me, I feel very guilty and deeply regret what I've done.""Then why not die to atone for sin.""No no, don't be, Zoe." Jill cried without tears, her voice weak and pitiful."I don't trust you anymore, your head is full of disgusting and cruel thoughts, stinking with jealousy, I should have crushed your soul a long time ago.""Come on Zoe, if you kill me then policeman Brian will die too, do you want to kill an innocent person?"Zoe's hand tightened, and his slender neck immediately turned blue and purple, Jill wanted to scream but
Zoe subconsciously stood in front of Neil's house, thinking that she would never return to this place but finally returned. The lights in the yard and the house were still on, indicating that Neil hadn't gone to sleep. There is a wreath on the door, it was last Christmas that Zoe made this wreath to hang on the door, then Neil didn't let him take it down because he said it was his work, he wanted to keep it. it and hang it until Christmas next year and then get pregnant with a new garland made by himself. Zoe watched as the wreath on the door faded, the flowers and branches had long withered, but its owner had no intention of leaving.Zoe forbids a silk flower stem with a necklace wrapped around the wreath hanging on the door. He hesitated for a moment, then finally put the necklace around his neck and stuffed the silk flower into his chest as if it was the only memento he had from Neil. Before leaving Zoe wanted to see Neil's face once so he went to the window to peek inside the hous
Suddenly feeling impatient and angry, Neil stood up and shouted: "Hey! Come back here." The door was locked, and on the left and the right were apartments and busy traffic streets. He hoped his scream would reach someone outside passing by. "Sorry, anyone? Please help me." Neil banged on the window and then hit the wall again. If he did this in the apartment he was living in on the street, not only the people on the left, the right, and the people living around would more or less hear the noise. But what Neil didn't expect was that his house was now different in every way. No more wind chimes hanging in every window, unusual of course, no longer able to see outside through the glass windows, the house has become strange since Brian or rather Jill stepped foot. enter. No matter how much Neil shouted or made a fuss, no one would hear to come and save him. The house has been enchanted. The serious traffic accident happened on the highway during the day, in the morning to be exact. Th
