Second dimension circle of friends

Xu Fei is just an ordinary programmer. He rented a one-bedroom apartment not far from the company. The decoration is pretty good. He lives a simple life alone, but it is also stable.

One day, Xu Fei returned home after working overtime. He happened to meet the young man next door coming back from outside. The two were of the same age and lived opposite each other. They were familiar with each other for so long. The young man asked him as soon as he saw him: "Hey, Xu Fei is back. I rented a disc today. Do you want to watch it together?"

Xu Fei blinked, thinking that the young man was talking about the kind of disc that was not suitable for children, and shook his head, "No, I'm tired after working overtime."

The young man nodded, "Young people, don't work so hard, you should know how to enjoy life."

The two chatted casually for a few words and then returned to their rooms. The people in this city are inherently more indifferent than each other.

Xu Fei was really tired. After returning home, he washed up and fell asleep on the bed. However, he never expected that he would hear such a news the next day. The young man next door died. It was said that he was found by his mother who came to his house to make breakfast in the morning. The old lady fainted on the spot.

When Xu Fei came out, there was already a circle of people outside. The police had not come yet and the cordon had not been drawn. However, most people still knew that the crime scene could not be destroyed. They did not dare to go in and could only look at the door. Everything had to wait for the police to come.

In the morning, Xu Fei was still not clear about what happened. He was in a hurry to go to work, so he did not pay too much attention. When he came back from get off work in the evening, he saw the cordon and the two investigating policemen, and then he realized the seriousness of the matter.

At this time, two policemen were still looking for clues at the scene of the incident, but they searched every corner of the whole house and found nothing suspicious. The doors and windows were locked and there were no signs of being pried.

Ma Long looked at the DVD player and suddenly remembered that the DVD player was on when the police came. It should be that the deceased forgot to turn it off or didn't have time to turn it off. Thinking of this, he always felt that there was something strange in his heart. He turned on the DVD player and found a DVD in it with a scary pattern and four bloody characters, "Midnight Ring?"

For some reason, Ma Long put the DVD in his pocket. Just at this time, another policeman came to him, "Brother Ma, the person who lives opposite is back. Should we go and ask?"

"Of course we should go." Ma Long said.

Xu Fei was opening the door when he saw two policemen coming to him and saying hello, "Hello, do you live opposite?"

"Yes." Xu Fei nodded in confusion, but then he thought that something serious seemed to have happened in the morning, and the police should come to understand the situation.

"Then do you know that He Yaotang, who lives opposite you, died?" the police continued to ask.

"I heard a little bit this morning, but I was in a hurry to go to work, so I didn't know. Is he really...dead?" Xu Fei's face turned pale. This was the first time he felt that death was so close to him. The night before, the man smiled and asked him if he wanted to watch a DVD together.

The policeman nodded, with a strange expression on his face, "He was scared to death." After a pause, he said, "Are you familiar with He Yaotang? Have you noticed any strange signs about him before?"

Xu Fei frowned slightly and thought about it, then shook his head, "I'm not very familiar with him, but he is always alone when I meet him. I just met him when I got home from get off work last night, and I didn't see anything abnormal. He smiled and invited me to watch a DVD together, but I was very tired from overtime work, so I refused."

The policeman's face changed, closed the notebook, and reached out to Xu Fei, "Thank you for your cooperation, then we will leave first."

It was already quite late at this time, and it was dark outside. I don't know if it was because the sound insulation was good or for some other reason, the whole corridor was quiet and filled with a cold atmosphere.

After turning his back, before he walked far, the policeman who was following him couldn't help rubbing his arms that seemed to have goose bumps, "Brother Ma, is there really a ghost?"

The young man called Brother Ma glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't be superstitious." After saying that, the young man pursed his lips, but his heart was beating, and his pace couldn't help but speed up.

It's not his fault that he is timid. In fact, in the two years since he became a policeman, it was the first time he encountered such a strange death. How could a good guy, who was not sick or in trouble, be scared to death? What's even more weird is that they found a DVD in the DVD player, which was the famous Midnight Ring.

I remember that when he was in college, in order to train his courage, he watched several movies in the Midnight Ring series with his roommate. Although it was a bit scary, it was too exaggerated to say that it scared people to death. However, the cause of death of the deceased was not other factors except being scared out of his wits, and there was no sign of intrusion by others in the house. This is really puzzling.

After leaving the deceased's neighborhood, the two policemen did not return to the police station, but went directly home. It was already this time, and people who normally get off work had already left work.

After returning home, Ma Long lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep. All he could think about was the case. The death of the deceased was too strange, it was simply unbelievable.

Ma Long, who couldn't sleep, turned over and got up quickly, took out the DVD in his pocket, turned around, and then remembered that he didn't have a DVD player at home, so he put the DVD into the computer.

Familiar scenes, familiar plots, Ma Long sat on the bed and watched boredly. When he saw the protagonist Sadako crawling out of the well, Ma Long suddenly shuddered as she climbed on the ground. He felt as if Sadako had raised her head and exposed her eyes. Those eyes looked at him through the TV.

Looking again, there was nothing unusual. Ma Long patted his chest and felt that he was being overly nervous. But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Sadako on the computer screen crawling closer and closer. A mottled hand was raised and stretched out of the computer screen in Ma Long's frightened eyes, followed by another hand...

Ma Long was startled and almost instinctively crawled over at a very fast speed to press down the computer cover. Sadako, who had already crawled out halfway, froze, and the whole person suddenly turned into nothingness, as if she shrank back again.

Ma Long's hands were still shaking. He felt that he might never forget the touch of something pressed down when he closed the computer cover.

With a panicked mood, Ma Long took out the DVD, but didn't know what to do with it for a while.
