escape from the world

It was milky white lily petals again, and there was a rain of white flowers all around, but there was no pungent fragrance. Fang Chen was walking forward, and he didn't know where he was going.

There was no sound, no smell, and there was no sense of the petals falling on him. The white petals that fell on the ground suddenly ooze blood, more and more blood.Fang Chen raised his head in a daze, and saw the couple again. They were lying in the middle of the road, the woman was still twitching with her mouth open, and more blood poured out of her mouth...

Fang Chen's ears were instantly filled with loud noises. People were walking and vehicles were driving. They all tacitly bypassed the couple and walked to their respective destinations without squinting.

A couple on the street was still discussing which restaurant to eat, the old lady took her grandson for a walk...the surroundings were full of excitement, and the couple lay there, struggling until they died.

Fang Chen should feel terrified, but he stood there motionless, as if his blood had turned cold, he heard a faint sigh, and he saw himself in the dream lowering his eyes to cover his emotions.

……

Fang Chen woke up very early. He didn't open the window at all last night, the curtains were drawn tightly, and the room was stuffy.

His mental state is very bad, he really should see a doctor, but maybe... He turned around and exhaled softly, it's not that he's crazy, but that there's something wrong with this neighborhood?Turning out the blank address book, Fang Chen pressed the screen slightly hard, his thumb turned white, then curled up and buried his head in his arms.He'd rather be crazy.

Fang Chen got up earlier than usual, went out and walked into the stairwell very naturally, and walked down a few steps before realizing that he didn't take the elevator again.Walking down the second floor, he heard a cat meowing, looked up, and vaguely saw a fluffy mess, and felt a sudden shock in his heart for some reason.

When he went to the hospital and was waiting for treatment, he unexpectedly met Xie Ying who lived upstairs.

Xie Ying was dressed up in a flamboyant red dress, chewing gum, and waved when she saw Fang Chen.

"... What a coincidence." Fang Chen held back two words for a long time.

Xie Ying raised an eyebrow, tilted her head and looked at him: "It's a coincidence, you also have mental problems?"

Fang Chen: "..."

Xie Ying patted his shoulder with one hand: "Why are you timid?"

Fang Chen was stunned for a second.

Having already called his number, Xie Ying even reminded him: "I'm calling you, go quickly."

Fang Chen didn't feel relaxed when he came out of the hospital. He filled out a long questionnaire and talked to the doctor a lot, but in the end the doctor just told him to pay more attention to sleep.

Is it really?

He couldn't remember the questions the doctor asked, only the doctor's slightly cold eyes and voice, and then he thought of the rotten man in his dream, and his stomach rolled.

Back in the community at noon, there was still no one downstairs. Fang Chen had never been so eager to meet Mrs. Wu, so that he would know that those were all hallucinations and fakes...

The bell of "Dingling" sounded in the corridor. Fang Chen turned his head and saw a black and white cat standing on the steps. Its left eye was all black, and the right eye was half black and half white.It didn't seem to be afraid of people, it looked straight at Fang Chen, then raised its paws and began to wash its face.

"Are you...lost?" The empty corridor echoed every word, Fang Chen thought about the pets at Mr. Xu's house on the second floor, so he moved his feet.

The cat raised its head sensitively, turned around and jumped upstairs.

Fang Chen was a little worried, walked over to look up the stairs, and saw that the cat had run away.Probably ran home.

Just as he turned his head, a woman in a white dress appeared behind him, it was Fan Yingying.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"There was a cat just now, maybe it was raised upstairs."

"cat?"

"Yes." Fang Chen was taken aback, "Don't you know? There are pets upstairs."

Fan Yingying shook her head.

"Then maybe... just raise a cat and don't need to go out for a walk." Fang Chen hesitated.

There was still no one downstairs at night, Fang Chen was a little restless and restless, and happened to meet an aunt who often chatted with Mrs. Wu, and couldn't help asking: "Auntie, did you see Auntie Wu today? "

The aunt stopped: "Who are you talking about?"

"The one on the first floor, I was chatting with you the day before yesterday." Fang Shen was flustered for no reason.

Aunt frowned as she recalled: "The one in unit three?"

"No...it's our building, Unit [-]." He felt breathless.

"Then I don't recognize it, do you remember it wrong?" The aunt glanced at their building, "Is there anyone living on the first floor? As I remember, there was only a little girl living there?"

Fang Chen couldn't control himself, and asked several people he knew well. Their answers were the same, and they all didn't remember that there was a middle-aged couple living in Building No. [-].

Is it his own problem, everything these days is his imagination, and that couple is his hallucination? !It was still bright, Fang Chen was covered in sweat, but his fingertips were cold.He squatted down and retched continuously, spitting out some sour and bitter water.

Someone handed him a tissue, and he took it to say thank you. Looking up, he saw that it was the woman from the couple on the third floor, Wang Huiwen, who was still holding a bag of apples, "Are you okay, have you suffered from heat stroke?"

"It's a little uncomfortable." Fang Chen's face was pale, and his eyes were watery.

Wang Huiwen glanced at him several times before handing over an apple: "Eat an apple and press it?"

"No thanks."

Fang Chen was in a daze, and Fan Yingying, who was standing at the door of her house, seemed to have something on her mind. When she saw him and Wang Huiwen coming in together, she didn't say hello, but just leaned against the door and watched.

Wang Huiwen was terrified by that look, and turned her head to find that Fang Chen was thinking with his head down.Looking at him sideways like this, you can see his long eyelashes and the obvious dark circles under his eyes.

The other party, Shen, had the impression that one afternoon, she and Zhang Rui leaned against the door frame and kissed, and Fang Chen walked down the stairs.There was a strange moment in her heart, of course it couldn't be a heartbeat, she didn't want to eat tender grass yet.It's just strange that Fang Shensheng is very good, why she didn't have any impression of him before.When they met again, Fang Chen took the initiative to ask, asking if they knew his name...

At two o'clock in the morning, there was a weird sound in the corridor, a bit like a baby's laughter, but a little sharper and thinner, and it kept screaming "ah, ah".

The room was very dark, Fang Chen lay on the bed and did not fall asleep.He suffered from insomnia and couldn't think anymore. No one remembered the couple. It could only be his own fault.

There was a sudden sound of scratching the door in the entrance, and sharp nails scratched the door.Fang Chen remained motionless, listening almost numbly, and then he heard a short and sharp cry, and the knock on the door stopped abruptly.

His heart was beating wildly, he felt that someone was approaching, getting closer, Fang Chen could almost feel the chill on his body, he lifted the quilt as if he wanted to get on the bed.

Fang Chen wanted to pass out immediately, but he didn't. He was so conscious that he finally couldn't help but backed away.

"..."

A dead silence.

Then it was gone, there was no cold and no rotten people, Fang Chen opened his eyes, and there was nothing around in darkness.

Fang Chen didn't know what state he should use to welcome the next day. When he got up and looked at his gloomy self in the mirror, he hardly dared to recognize it.

If none of this is true, when will he wake up.

"jingle".

He heard the bell again, and Akira found himself on the second floor.

It happened that Xu Wenluo came out of the house and was taken aback to see Fang Chen so haggard.

"Mr. Xu." Fang Chen forced himself to greet him.

Xu Wenluo nodded, and the two fell silent.

It was only when Fang Chen came out of the corridor that he remembered, "Yesterday I saw a cat in the corridor, black and white with a bell on it. I wonder if it belongs to your family?"

Xu Wenluo had already stepped forward and turned around, paused for a second before answering: "...probably not."

"Isn't it?" Fang Chen didn't expect, "Then who else has a cat around here... I don't know where it went."

Seeing Xu Wenluo walk out, Fang Chen took another step, and his wrist was grabbed again. Fang Chen was very calm this time, he had no energy to be afraid.

However, Fan Yingying seemed very broken. She grabbed Fang Chen's wrist with a little force: "Fang Chen, Aunt Wu and the others haven't come back for two days... Did something happen to them?"

Fang Chen was stunned.
