In the evening, on a pedestrian street in Fenshan City.

Although it is still the first day of the Lunar New Year, while visiting relatives and friends, some people who cannot stand loneliness will come out to meet during this rare long holiday and stroll around to eat. The atmosphere and atmosphere of the holiday are particularly strong at this moment.

A woman walked out of a small shop on the street with her mobile phone. She held the fresh chestnut she had just bought in her other hand and walked towards the direction where her friend was, preparing to share with her the relaxation and comfort of this holiday moment.

Suddenly, a man who rushed out of the crowd accidentally hit her side, and her body that was instantly unbalanced made her only grasp what she thought was more important in her subconscious mind.

Rolling bones.

The originally warm chestnuts rolled all over the ground, and quickly cooled down in the cold winter wind.

"Hey you...?"

The woman looked at the chestnut all over the floor, feeling both distressed and angry, and couldn't help but want to question the man in front of her.

Seeing this, the man in front of him immediately retreated to a distance of five meters, as if he would be detrimental to him in the next second.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry, I'll compensate you."

Seeing the woman looking at him in confusion without further action, the man breathed a sigh of relief and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

But the subsequent screen that did not light up made him realize a serious problem - after one night and one day, his phone had already run out of power.

"I……"

The man looked at the woman awkwardly, and the latter seemed to have noticed the former's current dilemma.

"Forget it, I'll buy another one, but you can pick up all the ones that fell on the ground and throw them away. Sprinkle them here. If someone step on the ground and falls, it will be bad. Be careful next time."

Seeing the other party not knowing how to speak, the woman thought about it and said, then pulled her friend and turned around to walk back to the chestnut shop.

"Okay... I'm really sorry."

After the man said that, he immediately bent down and picked up chestnuts quickly. The quick grasping speed and the behavior of constantly looking around during the period made the woman who looked back quietly feel curious.

It seemed like... something around him that made him feel alert or fearful.

This man is Jiang Mian, who had been in trouble before.

Time goes back to the night before.

In the old apartment that Jiang Mian rented, there was a resident's home.

"I said Lao Wang, did you buy the wrong brand of cooking wine today? I felt something was wrong when I was having supper."

In front of the kitchen stove, a woman who looked over 60 years old was wearing an apron and constantly weighing the pot. The churning green onion and eggs in the pot looked particularly crystal clear and attractive surrounded by steam.

Next to the dining table outside the kitchen door are several older men of similar age.

"Oh, it's not reasonable? Isn't that seaweed brand?"

One of them gently touched the back of his head. It was the uncle next door who woke Jiang Mian up at the elevator door the day before.

"It's the conch! It's really Alzheimer's disease. See clearly, it's this!"

Uncle Wang's wife heard this and walked out of the kitchen with one hand in the small wok, poured the dishes into the ceramic plate that had been prepared, and then took a pack of used cooking wine packaging and signaled it.

"You're so confused. Next time you buy the wrong one, you'll be deducted a month's money for cigarettes!"

"Okay, OK, it's okay, I'll buy it tomorrow. Come on, Lao Li, when you just saw you touching mahjong plaques, you kept screaming. Hurry up and try my wife's fried eggs with scallions, this is a specialty, and you can't eat it in other places."

Uncle Wang hurriedly picked up a few chopsticks for the old friend next to him, and then called the others to try this newly served dish.

In the living room not far away, several older women were sitting around the sofa, watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

"Hey, Lao Wang, why does it seem like water seeping on the ceiling of your house?"

While eating and drinking, one of the friends suddenly pointed to the top of the room and said in confusion.

"Hmm? Let's take a look."

Uncle Wang stood up when he heard this. Although his eyesight was deteriorating due to his age, the shadow mass, which was slightly darker than the surrounding area, still made him see it very clearly.

"It's true, it seems we have to talk to the upstairs."

"Let's go there quickly, I'm afraid it's going to drip down." The old man surnamed Li said while eating.

"I probably fell asleep in the middle of the night, no, right... It seems that this is not a leak, Lao Wang."

Another friend seemed to feel something was wrong because of his good eyesight.

The other people also noticed that the water stain seemed to be changing rapidly. They originally thought it was causing the gradual seepage, but ordinary people knew that there would be no shrinkage and deformation during the leakage and seepage...

At the same time, Jiang Mian's home.

At this moment, Jiang Mian was staring at the human-shaped shadow on the ceiling in front of him.

As the human figure shadows continue to change their body and distort and deform, fear gradually overflows from Jiang Mian's heart.

Although at first glance, the human shadow seemed to be the same as when I first saw it, just twisting my body very slowly on the wall.

However, if you carefully distinguish it, you will find that its twisting speed has accelerated a lot.

But what scared him the most was...

Because the previous time I saw it, its movements were so slow that Jiang Mian didn't quite understand what it was doing from beginning to end.

But this time, the behavior that had accelerated the deformation speed made Jiang Mian suddenly realize during observation that it was posing one human pose, like a human being who was constantly deforming when acting at different light sources.

It is really doing all kinds of movements.

Apart from the strange behavior that keeps cycling or sudden changes, it seems that it is really a human shadow.

This verified strange inference made Jiang Mian subconsciously take several breaths of cold air in the coldness of this winter.

He immediately stood up and opened the wardrobe, prepared to bring some necessary clothes and cell phones, and then left here immediately.

He remembered that he did not see this human shadow last night, and thought that it should only be left in this room.

While looking at the direction of the ceiling, Jiang Mian accelerated the movement of stuffing clothes randomly in the trunk. He didn't want to stay in this room for a quarter of an hour, no, he didn't want to stay for a minute.

The human shadow was still fiddling with his body, sometimes sitting there for dinner, sometimes standing up and waving, and several movements alternated back and forth.

Suddenly, it made a completely different move, like holding something in its hand, and then walked up the non-existent stairs, but before it could finish a few steps, it fell forward like a dog eating shit.

Since the human shadows only have human-like actions and no complementary objects, each action seems a bit ridiculous like a silent drama without real objects.

But not only did Jiang Mian not only couldn't laugh, but the level of fear in his heart instantly rose by several levels, almost reaching the upper limit.

For Jiang Mian, all the movements of the human figure before were daily movements such as walking, sitting or even lying, and they were not very recognizable, so Jiang Mian did not realize the reason for doing these movements.

But Jiang Mian is definitely the most familiar and profound person in the world when the action is circulating in front of him.

Because, it was at the company's annual meeting not long ago that he made a big embarrassing move in front of the entire company.

At that time, he was arranged to give a female colleague in the department who was responsible for performing and singing shows to a big bouquet of flowers to work. However, because the stairs from behind were a little slippery, he accidentally made a mistake when he was about to step onto the stage. Then, in the stunnedness of nearly a thousand people in the audience, he greeted all the colleagues and leaders present. Jiang Mian still remembered the laughter of tsunami.

No matter how much clothes were taken care of, and even had time to take the key, Jiang Mian put on a down jacket, put his phone in his pocket and turned around and ran to the entrance immediately, opening the door to prepare to run for his life.

But the scene outside the door made his panic reach its limit in an instant.

Outside the gate, in the corridor where the lights are dim and flash from time to time.

Neighbors who were familiar or unfamiliar in the past have stood around at the door of his house since then.

At this moment, he was staring at him who had just opened the door with a wooden expression that was not like a living person...
