C1

It was the river again, stifling in the mists, and a big white hand was reaching out from under the dark water, and at the same time I clearly felt the grip on my ankle and the tug on it.

I struggled with all my might, continuously pouring the fishy water into my mouth. Gulp, gulp sounds came from the water, a string of bubbles rising upwards. At this moment, I felt as if I was falling into the dark water.

"Help!"

Finally, I cried out, jolted awake, and sat up, gasping for air, my heart pounding.

The pale moonlight shone in the room, blurring everything as if it were a dream.

It occurred to me that I had fallen asleep at sunset, that the curtains had not been drawn, that the windows had not been closed, and that the breeze of the night was blowing so lightly that I could feel that I was still alive.

His pajamas had already been soaked wet by his sweat, giving off a bone-piercing chill. In this sweltering midsummer night, it gave a comfortable feeling.

Since two months ago, when I went swimming in the river, I had been flooded, of course, and then taken to the hospital, where I was saved for a long time. According to the others, they all thought I was dead, but I woke up when I was lying there, and I can't remember what it was like.

Since then, for two months now, I have been having this nightmare, in which a pale hand grabs my ankle and pulls me underwater, bubbling around me.

Frightened by the nightmare, I found the slippers by the bed in the moonlight and shuffled to the bathroom door. Although I had just rented the house because I didn't want to stay in college, I could still remember the light switch by the door.

The weak light of the energy saving lamp flashed non-stop for some reason. Only then did I realize that the lamp was broken. I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"I just rented a house and I have to repair it. That's too much to worry about." Complaining with my bad luck, I forced myself to go into the bathroom.

Girls were just like this. They always wanted to go to the toilet. Just now, they were shocked, but going to the toilet was unavoidable.

Just as I finished discharging the garbage from my body and bent over the tap to wash my hands and face, I felt the smell of the water on my face.

"Something's wrong, why is the water so fishy!"

I sniffled and looked up at myself in the mirror, but when I saw the mirror, I couldn't help but scream.

How could there be water droplets on my fair and pretty face? It was clearly red blood!

In the constantly flickering light, the mirror reflected my face, which was full of blood, which was beginning to twist and distort. The white skin was cracking, the small nose was bulging, and the red lips, which I was most proud of, were protruding two rows of fangs.

As the fangs were sticking out of my lips, I saw that my cheeks were festering, and white bones were showing through the dripping blood.

Every inch of my skin is melting into blood, and my head is turning into a terrifying skull.

The blood kept dripping down, both on the bottom and in the water basin that was still flowing out of the tap. The water inside the basin was also bright red with a thick smell of blood.

I stared in horror at the skull in the mirror and let out a piercing scream.

It was at this moment that a pale hand reached out of the mirror and grabbed at me. I was very familiar with that hand. It was the hand that I saw in my dreams.

I screamed, but I couldn't move my body. It was like I was in a nightmare, unable to move.

Just when I was feeling extremely frightened, the big hand suddenly swung itself in the air and abruptly swiped back. The skull in the mirror was instantly erased, as if the picture that was imprinted on it had been erased.

At this moment, replacing the skull in the mirror was the face of a man whose face was covered in blood.

His face was still dripping blood, and I could see his dark skin, his sharp cheeks, his high nose bridge, and, to my horror, he was staring at me with his two eyes that did not have lids but were shining.

My gaping mouth froze for a moment as I stared stupidly at the person in the mirror. My mind was blank …

"Are you all right?"

An extremely magnetic baritone suddenly sounded in my ear. I couldn't help but feel a jolt in my heart, thinking that no matter who it was, it would be my savior, my lifesaver.

"Help!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

The moment I shouted out, my body trembled. I could actually move.

I turned my head, but there was no one in sight. In the mirror, a man with a face covered in blood was smiling at me. His protruding eyes were still rolling around.

I don't know how I got back on the bed, but the moment I jumped on the bed, I covered my head with the blanket.

Just as I was trembling in fear, I heard a male baritone filled with magnetism whispering to me from outside the blanket, "Are you hot?"

My heart leaped, and I couldn't help but shout, "Ghosts!"

To my surprise, this time the voice laughed. "You don't have to be afraid, I just had a problem and wanted you to help me."

What, he's not a ghost, he just came to find me for help. Damn it, that scared me to death, but in the middle of the night, how did he come in, and where did he hide?

Although the burglary was quite scary, it was much better than the face and skull of the man whose face was covered in blood.

"Are you afraid?" The magnetic baritone sounded again, and though it was separated by the quilt, it sounded as if it were whispering into one's ear.

You f * cker, if it were you instead of me, it would be really unlucky. In such a short period of time, not only did I run into a ghost, now there's a robber here.

"You, who are you?" I finally stammered, my voice full of fear.

He didn't answer, I thought he must be standing there quietly looking at me, this made me even more uneasy, I was afraid that he would give me another cut or something, I was not afraid of losing my money, I would not want more from my family, but if my sister's life was gone, then there would be nowhere else to take it.

"I have money in my bag and a necklace on the table. You can take it. It's dark and I can't see your face clearly. Just take your things and leave." When he thought that this was more likely to be a thief, he thought of the idea of going to finance the disaster.

I said it so sensibly to the thief, but my voice, my God, it was so creepy to hear it myself.

But at that moment, my phone rang. I immediately became crazy inside. Although I was scared, my hands moved as fast as lightning, grabbing the phone under my pillow.

Mom's familiar voice sounded on the phone, and I immediately became excited. I wanted to tell Mom about my situation here, but I didn't expect Mom to be in such a mess. She didn't listen to me at all, only focused on her own story.

"Oh my god, did you have that nightmare again? It's the same nightmare again, mom just found someone to break it for you, then she broke it tonight. Mom spent more than 5,000 yuan, I told you to wrap it well, miss, you don't have to be afraid anymore, you will never have that nightmare again …"

Without waiting for me to speak, Mom started talking nonstop. I was so anxious that I could shout into the phone, but I was still unable to suppress Mom's voice. I sincerely suspected that Mom didn't listen to me.

The breakthrough is one of the mystification activities in our area. There is something strange in the house that no one can figure out or understand, but it is the kind of thing that you suspect of having fallen into a trap and gotten into a ghost, so you go find a fortune-teller or a great god to calculate and burn some paper money or something like that, which is considered breaking the barrier for you.

He said that the thing that was bothering him would no longer come to find him, but that had to be trusted by the person who had something to do. It wouldn't work if he didn't believe him. To put it bluntly, it was purely psychological.

Actually, it was just to fool those superstitious people and earn some money.

But how did she break through this barrier? This time, not only did I have a nightmare, I also saw a horrifying event when I woke up. She also said to wrap everything up well, how is that good?

Not only did I have to curse in my heart, I met with both a ghost and a robber here. It was a double disaster, while my mother was tricked by others.

Suddenly, the phone seemed to have been snatched away by someone. An unfamiliar woman's sweet voice came from the other side, "That Ke Er, I'm your mom's good friend, this time we've invited Guru Hongyu to help us out, he broke our family's seal, he was going to go into closed-door seclusion, but on account of our relatives' face, he decided to just come out and break it for you. In the future, nothing will happen to you."

Who is this, and how can you say that nothing will happen in the future, that I can't pass right now, and in the future, can't you just listen to me, I yelled at the top of my lungs, but my mom was still in chaos, as if she hadn't heard anything.

At this moment, I heard the woman talking to my mother. "I don't know which kind of person it is, but on the day our Ke'er was injured by the water, she drowned in the river. We haven't even recovered her corpse yet, so it must be him who pestered our Ke'er."

"Help!" I screamed.

But just as I was screaming for help, the phone went dead. Why am I so tragic?

"Do you know who I am now?" The extremely magnetic voice rang out again.
