Paranormal Case

  A dark shadow flashed across her face, thudding to the ground. Su Yingzhen instinctively stopped in her tracks, and on the ground, there were two round, blue, glowing lights staring at her like ghostly eyes.

  Su Yingzhen felt a chill in her heart, took two steps back, turned around and ran away.

  A faint, pitiful meowing sound came from behind, it was Mimi! Su Yingzhen stopped in her tracks and turned around. Those two dim blue bright spots quietly approached her slowly.

  Su Yingzhen held her breath, meowing softly, it was Mimi's spoiled voice. She kept rubbing her soft and affectionate body against Su Yingzhen's feet. It really was Mimi! Su Yingzhen's suspended heart finally put down, bent down to pick her up, and rubbed her face back and forth on its smooth silky fur, as if finding strength, finding comfort, the previous fear gradually dissipated.

  Mimi didn't know where she got frightened, her body was shaking violently like autumn leaves, and her small body wasn't warm as usual, but cold. Su Yingzhen held her tightly, and the little body gradually calmed down.

  As she walked out of the exit, Su Yingzhen felt a sense of rebirth. The evening breeze blew in, and her entire body was cooled down, but it was an uncomfortable cold sweat that covered her from head to toe.

  Tonight, the moon is round, bright and close, as if within reach. The roundness is eerie, the brightness is dazzling, and it's a pale white that sends shivers down one's spine. There are no stars in the sky, as if they're all hiding from something. The air is filled with the scent of river water and flowers, but the fragrance is so thick and eerie that it makes people feel suffocated and short of breath for no reason.

  Su Yingzhen turned around to gaze at Bai Xue's home, the 18-story high-rise building was shrouded in layers of fog in the night, faintly visible and seemingly illusory, giving people an unreal feeling.

  Almost home, Su Yingzhen was a little excited and quickened her pace, but found that the building where her house was located had disappeared!

  Her mind went blank in an instant, as if struck by five thunderbolts, and she was stunned like a wooden chicken. This can't be! She closed her eyes tightly, then opened them suddenly, but it still didn't change, her heart sank like it had fallen into an ice cellar, cold and unable to beat. Suddenly, she felt afraid, extremely afraid. She urgently wanted to find someone to ask, but all around was quiet, not a single person, only the rustling of leaves blown by the wind, whispering with a hint of crying in the air.

  Su Yingzhen wanted to cry but had no tears. She walked to a household and knocked on the door, shouting in a crying tone: "Is anyone there?" The response was endless silence, eternal silence. She stood helplessly in the garden of the residential area, unable to find her way back or forth. It wasn't until then that Su Yingzhen realized that not a single building or household had their lights on, and even the streetlights seemed to be broken, dark and round like eyeballs staring at her maliciously. Only the cold and bleak moonlight poured down, desolate and gloomy. The flowers, grass, trees, pavilions, and buildings, all the high and low objects looked hazy and gray, a depressing and melancholic grayness that oppressed one's spirit.

  Mimi let out a low growl in his arms, like a trapped beast, his body tensed up, that was his reaction to feeling danger.

  Su Yingzhen lifted her lovely face with pear flowers and rain, and vigilantly scanned the surroundings. The footsteps sounded again in her ears, some heavy footsteps.

  How is it footsteps again?

  The footsteps got closer and closer, then stopped abruptly in front of her. Su Ying's heart was also uneasy, she sensed a hint of danger. She looked around nervously, but couldn't see anyone, so where did the footsteps come from...

  Su Yingzhen didn't dare think about it anymore, a thick chill rose from the bottom of her heart, causing her to unknowingly fall into fear.

  The kitten in her arms was twisting and turning restlessly, as if it sensed the approach of a natural enemy. Its fur stood on end, and it let out a shrill cry before suddenly leaping up and scurrying away. Su Yingzhen was left standing alone, frightened and at a loss, feeling like a giant python was wrapping itself around her, making it hard for her to breathe.

  At the same time, a gentle and familiar call: "Zhen Zhen" warmed like a spring breeze that blew away the cold ice, rescuing her from the depths of terror. For an instant, she was dazed, and when she came to, she found her big brother standing in front of her, greatly surprising her.

  The big brother's expression was even more surprised than hers, and he stared at the place where Mimi disappeared for a long time, saying: "What were you doing wandering around downstairs?"

  Su Ying was shocked and her heart skipped a beat, herself wandering around in front of her own house?

  The older brother looked at her with a profound gaze, took her hand and headed home: "Don't be too scared, maybe we've just hit a dead end." He gently patted the back of her hand a few times: "It's okay now."

  Upon hearing the word "ghost", Su Yingzhen was so frightened that she stopped in her tracks. Could it be true that a ghost was really following her, lingering and refusing to leave? Otherwise, how could one explain the series of events that had occurred today?

  She felt her head was heavy, as if it weighed a thousand pounds. She told her big brother about the doubts in her mind. Her big brother just smiled and said: "You've had neurosis since you were young, and only by wearing that blue sapphire can you calm your nerves. Now that the amulet is gone, your nerves are sensitive, and it's normal to see ghosts everywhere. In two days, I'll go find another amulet for you to wear, and everything will be fine." He gently rubbed her head with his hand: "Look at our real true, we're really scared, and our faces have lost their color."

  Is that so? Su Yingzhen made an effort to recall, and deep down in her memory, there really was a period of time when she seemed to have stayed in some snowy white place. It was desolate and lonely, with a feeling of isolation.

  At night, her elder brother stayed with her until she fell asleep, and only left when her breathing became slow and even.

  Although Su Yingzhen was asleep, she wasn't calm at all, and kept having intermittent dreams. Strange dreams.

  She dreamed of walking on a dark and desolate mountain road, the road was narrow and barren, and she couldn't see the end at a glance. The two ends of the road were shrouded in mist, unable to see where she came from or find hope.

  Su Ying was hesitating, when a faint and indistinct melody came from afar, like sobbing and complaining, low and melancholic, drifting and uncertain, as if telling a sad story.

  Su Yingzhen was immediately captivated by the sound, and involuntarily fell into a deep and inexplicable sorrow, like a lone butterfly fluttering in a withered flower cluster, searching for her lover with tears.

  Irresistible, she was firmly caught by music, walking along the path, and in the darkness, there was a voice reminding her to stop, hurry up and stop. But her feet seemed not to be her own, and inevitably, step by step, she walked towards the dark distance...

  A butterfly flew in from the front, colorful and spotted, perched on her fingertips, followed by another one, and another... more and more, densely rushing towards her.

  Su Yingzhen wanted to take a step forward, but her feet seemed rooted to the ground and she couldn't lift them no matter how hard she tried. She cried out loudly, and the only response was the sound of the wind wailing like a ghost.

  In an instant, the butterfly engulfed her layer by layer. Su Yingzhen felt suffocated, she thought life was slowly leaving her body.

  She suddenly realized it was a dream, but the feeling of death was so real, her mouth and nose were blocked by butterflies, and every time she inhaled, she sucked in the powder on the butterfly's wings, unable to breathe in even a wisp of air.

  Su Ying struggled desperately, she didn't want to die in such a mysterious and inexplicable way in her dream. She wanted to escape this damn dream, but her feet couldn't move no matter how hard she tried. She kicked with all her might, her body shook violently, and finally woke up from the dream.

  Su Ying lay on the bed, her eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, still not fully awake from the terror of her dream, her heart racing uncontrollably.

  The thick floor-to-ceiling curtains moved without wind, and Su Yingzhen, who was in a state of tension, felt more sensitive than ever before. She immediately noticed that she was on high alert, forgetting to breathe, her mouth wide open with extreme tension as she stared at the curtains. The curtains were lifted, and a dark mass quietly emerged, two eerie blue lights staring at her in the room...
