In the dark TV room, the projection screen illuminated a soft light yellow light. Under the night light, a little scarlet is the light of the cigarette butt, and the other light is the light reflected from the huge diamond ring on the fingers holding the cigarette.

The woman's face was blurred, with only her hands and her raised belly illuminated by the light. While she was swallowing the clouds and fog, the phone in her hand vibrated. The moment the screen lighted up, the woman pressed the answer button and put it in her ear.

The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what he said, and the woman suddenly screamed: "I almost died! I almost died last time!! Are you okay?!"

She jumped up and threw away the cigarette in her hand hard.

That little bit of Mars was beating in the darkness.

The lens moved with it, giving the half cigarette a fixed close-up.

The background was dim, and only the woman was gradually roaring, screaming, roaring, and the shaking sound of "da da da da da da" vibrating.

Da, da...

Two light sounds sounded in the TV room, not the sound of footsteps, but the sound of the doctor tapping his fingers.

Ten nails seemed to have received a signal, becoming noisy, like a group of uncivilized moviegoers.

The doctor squinted his eyes and did not care about the noisy environment at this moment.

He seemed to have suddenly lost interest. He raised his hand and calmed his nails again. He picked up the remote control and switched the channel.

...

The ringtone of the cell phone made Sheng Yao stop the button's finger.

He gestured to Bai Xiao, who was posing on the tree trunk not far away, and paused to take pictures.

Sheng Yao was slightly surprised by the name of the caller.

"Hey, hello, Miss Lu." Sheng Yao spoke first, with a question in his tone.

Lu Meimei's apologetic voice came through her phone, "I'm sorry, I'm disturbing you, Mr. Sheng. I was really sorry before, you specially... sent Maomao back. My boyfriend misunderstood you. I was the same at that time, and I couldn't say a good word to you..."

Sheng Yao was stunned.

"Sorry, I'm really sorry. Also, thank you. Ah, do you have time now? Have you disturbed you?" Lu Meimei was still a little uneasy and polite, "I want to tell you about Maomao."

"Please tell me." Sheng Yao waved to Bai Xiao and walked towards the roadside bench bench beside him.

Tourists were gathered in the sea of ​​flowers and trees, and the benches on the side of the road were empty, which made Sheng Yao avoid the crowd and answer the phone with peace of mind.

Bai Xiao followed and held Sheng Yao's hand that was stretched out. Her right hand and the ring on her ring finger were wrapped in Sheng Yao's palm. This distance also allowed her to hear the faint voice leaked from her phone.

"...We just held a funeral for Maomao. Now pet funerals are quite convenient and thoughtful. There is a memorial service and a urn. I chose a plain color with a cat's ears on the lid. Whale whale...ah, it was a little cat picked up by Maomao, and it also attended it. It was very smart and knew that Maomao was put in...it was in that small jar...it was very well-behaved, and now likes to sleep around the jar. Haha. Although it was a small one, it couldn't hold the jar..."

Lu Meimei's gentle and smiling voice came into Sheng Yao's ears.

"...I'm sorry, I've said so many things... Actually, I called to apologize, and thank you. In addition, I'm going to move. I'm going to live together with my boyfriend. We've been looking forward to a new house. It's a rented house for the time being. But that community is very good. If we prepare to get married in the future, we will buy a house in this community directly. Although it's renting a house now... we're going to hold a housewarming banquet. My boyfriend and I, two of us friends, are a couple, and whale... I don't know if you're free? You can come and have a meal together. You said before that you have a cat, right? You can bring it to play with. Whale can also meet new friends. I think... I think Maomao also wants to see new friends..."

Lu Meimei's tone was still very polite, with unfamiliarity and expectation.

Sheng Yao knew that Lu Meimei's invitation was not only out of good intentions. Lu Meimei should have wanted to know what happened when Maomao passed away. She might have discovered Maomao's difference. She recognized Maomao at a glance at that time - that was not a judgment that could be made by understanding alone, nor could she instantly believe that Maomao's cat would become that way after death.

Sheng Yao felt a little struggle in his palm.

He turned his head and saw Bai Xiao’s heart on his head.

Bai Xiao pulled his hand out of Sheng Yao's hand, put his back on Sheng Yao's arm, and leaned his head against Sheng Yao's shoulder.

Sheng Yao couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

"I'm away now and am traveling." Sheng Yao politely declined to his phone, "I believe Maomao must be very happy. He has been very happy in his life, and he likes you very much. In the last moment, it was the same."

The other end of the phone fell silent.

A few seconds later, Sheng Yao heard a faint laugh.

"Well. I know, I know. I'm very happy too. It's so great to meet Maomao..." Lu Meimei said softly, "Thank you too. Thank you for sending Maomao back in the end."

"You are welcome."

"Then, please contact me if you have time. I'll send you my new address later. You keep a cat... If you encounter any problems, you can come to me at any time."

"Okay. Goodbye."

"goodbye."

Sheng Yao put away his cell phone, tilted his head, and leaned against Bai Xiao's head.

"Are you still taking pictures?"

"There are too many people, and there is no good location."

"Then let's wait a little longer?"

"OK."

“The sun is so good today.”

"Well, the wind is also very comfortable."

"yes."

...

On the small TV, the blurry picture quality makes it take the audience to work hard to recognize the scene in the dim room.

Two figures on the double bed, one calm, the other was obviously trapped in a nightmare.

Sheng Yao's body kept trembling and flipping, and as the camera drew closer, people could see the beads of sweat on his face.

The camera is still getting closer, getting closer, getting closer...

The picture was replaced with another scene in a wonderful way:

The same dim room was filled with two figures. Only one corner could be seen in the room in the background, and the two figures were also curled up in this corner.

Bright red blood flashed by.

Two twisted faces suddenly came to the camera.

The inhalation and screaming of ten nails are like the special sound effects of this picture, pulling the viewer's nerves tight.

At the same time, the picture seemed to be pulled by invisible force. The two people in the picture became increasingly distorted, becoming the tragic hunger in the news photos, and continued to deteriorate into more terrifying portraits of evil ghosts.

The evil ghost rushed over, and a voice that did not belong to others was squeezed out from his open bloody mouth: "It's you... it's because of you!"

The screams of the nails were harsh, and they were also an inhuman voice.

The two sounds overlapped and were swallowed by the sound of heavy rain.

In this second, the picture on the small TV turned into a rainy night, with the figure of a woman standing quietly behind the glass door.

In just one second, the picture disappeared.

Instead, there are calm nights, human panting, and, normal, human-like eyes full of horror.

"Husband?" The woman's confusing and gentle scream broke all this.

The lights dispel darkness.

Sheng Yao in the TV screen raised his hand to cover his face, and a dull answer came from under his palm: "It's okay. I'm just having a nightmare."

"well enough?"

"Um."

"Do you want to get up and drink some water?"

"I'll just go by myself. Keep sleeping." Sheng Yao got up.

He walked towards the camera, and his figure blocked most of the picture. In the remaining half of the picture, Bai Xiao's half-supported body could be seen.

It was clearly a small TV with extremely low resolution, but she could still see Bai Xiaoxiao's frowning clearly, but she couldn't see the emotions in her eyes.

The camera quickly turned and followed Sheng Yao to the kitchen.

Gududu-

Water was poured into the glass, but Sheng Yao stood there motionless.

The camera moved up little by little, aiming at Sheng Yao's lowered head.

Da, da...

The doctor knocked his finger casually, listening to the mocking whispers of his nails, his dark blue eyes had no focus, and there was no change in a long time.

...

When Boss Le called, Sheng Yao was visiting the Longcheng Museum with Bai Xiao. There were very few people in the exhibition hall, which made the vibration of the phone extremely clear.

For a moment, Sheng Yao felt that the call from his mobile phone seemed to wake up many cultural relics in the glass cabinet.

Sheng Yao apologized to Bai Xiao, ran out of the exhibition hall, found a corner to answer the phone.

"Hey, you haven't been here for a long time." Boss Le's smile and a smiley voice appeared on his phone.

Sheng Yao smiled and said, "I'm away from home."

"Oh? I'm going out for a trip? Oh, I didn't disturb you, right?" Boss Le calmed down his voice.

"It's okay." Sheng Yao shook his head, "Boss Le, what's wrong with you?"
