Three days before the end of rebirth

I wrote a short story today, please read it!!

Chapter 1

At K City Airport, a plane landed slowly,

Passengers on flight S1139, please go to window 5 to collect your luggage.

A nice female voice sounded on the radio.

A man wearing sunglasses looked above,

(3)

This is No. 3. Where is No. 5?

The man turned his head and looked.

Number ⑤ is on his right,

He handed the check-in number to the staff and took back his luggage.

A suitcase, which looked a little worn out, made a creaking sound as he pulled it.

“I haven’t been back in K city for two years, but K city has changed so much!”

The man couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the tall buildings in the distance and the cars going back and forth on the road.

Then, he picked up his suitcase and stopped a taxi.

"To Xianglianyuan!"

When the driver heard about this place, he couldn't help but look back at him, and the surprise flashed in his eyes.

I wanted to say something, but my mouth opened.

"Beep, beep, beep," the cell phone in the man's hand rang at this time.

Seeing this, the driver had no choice but to drive quietly.

"Afan? What's wrong?"

"Are you here?" A bright male voice came from the phone.

"Just arrived, now in the car!" The man smiled at the phone.

"Well, have a good rest and see you at the same place tomorrow!" the man on the phone said.

"Yeah," the two chatted for a few words and hung up the phone.

Boom boom, the only sound left is the sound of the car's engine.

"Have you just come back?" Suddenly the driver in front looked at the rearview mirror and said.

"Ang! Just got back," the man who was playing with his cell phone raised his head and glanced at the back of the driver's head.

"Did you live in Xianglianyuan before?" Xianglianyuan is a community located to the west of K City and is also a suburb of K City.

It takes about 8 minutes to drive from the airport to Xianglianyuan.

"Yeah," the man said, looking at the driver's face from the rearview mirror. From the rearview mirror, the man always felt that the driver seemed to have something to say.

"No one lives anywhere now," the driver said something the man didn't expect.

"What's going on?" The man couldn't help but be a little confused. I've only been away for two years. Why is there no one living in the community? Is it demolition? The man couldn't help but think to himself.

"You should know where you live. There is a factory next door. Something happened to that factory two years ago." The driver said with a hint of fear in his tone.

"What's wrong?" The man was also curious about what happened in that factory.

"Five people died in that factory, and the murderer has not been found yet. And, they all say that ghosts kill people!" This driver must often gossip with other people, and what he told the man sounded like a ghost story.

"Uncle! What time of the year is it? Ghosts, ghosts, and snake spirits have long been out of fashion." Naturally, the man didn't believe what the driver said about ghosts and gods.

He felt that the murderer must have been too clever so he was not found by the police.

"Hey! Young man, don't believe it. These are the experiences of our older generation." Seeing that the man didn't believe what he said, the driver reminded him.

"I advise you not to stay at Xianglian Courtyard tonight." The driver said seriously.

However, the man obviously didn't take it seriously. He looked at his phone and replied casually: "Well, thank you."

Seeing this, the driver didn't say anything more. He sighed helplessly, as there was nothing he could do if he didn't listen.

The car went further and further away, and there was almost no sign of human habitation except for street lights.

Apparently everyone who should move here has moved away because of what happened two years ago.

"Just stop here, I can't get in." Just as the man was looking outside in a daze, the car suddenly stopped and the driver turned around and said to him.

The man looked around and saw that he had arrived at the room of Xianglianyuan. Not far ahead was the factory the driver mentioned. Walking a few hundred meters further, he arrived at Xianglianyuan.

"Thank you!" Seeing this man, he had nothing to say, so he handed the fare to the driver and got out of the car.

"Be careful." The driver left these words and left.

Chapter 2

Looking at the darkness all around, it feels like being far away from the city here, but fortunately, the street lights are still on.

The dim street lamp illuminated the man's shadow very long.

"What kind of ghost? It doesn't look like anything to me!" The man walked to the abandoned factory and saw that there was nothing inside.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a woman's figure appear in the window on the third floor.

It was very dark inside the factory. He couldn't see the woman's face clearly. He only saw her long hair! And she was looking at him.

Seeing this man, he couldn't help but take a step back in fear.

When he looked again, the woman's figure had disappeared.

"Is it an hallucination?" The man couldn't help but wonder if he had seen it wrong.

"Pretending to be a ghost," the man thought that there must be someone else in the factory. He didn't think too much and walked past the factory.

But what he didn't know was that he saw the woman's figure correctly. She appeared at the window again and stared at the man's back, and the man's shadow seemed to tremble.

"Isn't there no one living in the community?" The man looked at several houses with lights on in the community.

It was obvious that the man did not believe what the driver said more and more.

"Ka" the man returned to his home, the light illuminated the whole room,

"I'm so exhausted!" The man immediately collapsed on the sofa. He was so tired that he lay down directly regardless of the dust on the sofa.

The man was lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. He had completely forgotten what the driver said and the figure of the woman he just saw.

The night is getting darker!

.........

On the other side of K City, there is the police station.

"Xiao Jiang has made great contributions to this case." In an office, several people were chatting.

"Yes, it's a good thing Brother Jiang has quick hands and eyes, otherwise he would have escaped," said a young policeman.

The name of the policeman surrounded by everyone is: Jiang Fan. He is the deputy captain of the Third Division of the K City Criminal Police Team.

"Everyone has worked hard," Jiang Fan said after taking a puff of cigarette. He looked to be about 28 years old. He has a bright future in the criminal police team at such an age to be the deputy captain.

However, Jiang Fan has no intention of being in the criminal police team. Today is the day for them to close the network. Two days ago, they targeted a telecommunications fraud gang.

After two days of squatting, the group of fraudsters were finally caught.

The policemen chatted for a while and then dispersed. Jiang Fan also took out his mobile phone and looked at it.

At half past two in the morning,

It is almost common for police officers to stay up late. They get off work at 2:30 in the morning, which can be said to be early for them.

He also said that he met that boy Chen Kun in the evening. Jiang Fan shook his head.

"Huh!" Jiang Fan casually placed the cigarette butt in the ashtray and left the room.

Xianglianyuan,

Chen Kun was already lying on the bed and fast asleep. He seemed to have dreamed something terrible. His head was covered with sweat and his hands were tightly grasping his neck.

As if he wanted to strangle himself to death, Chen Kun's breathing became more and more rapid.

Suddenly he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw such a terrifying scene. He saw himself pressing on his body, and the man strangled his neck with his hands.

Just as he was struggling, that self suddenly disappeared again,

"Hoo ho ho!" Chen Kun lay on the bed and took a big breath of air.

When he slowly calmed down, he recalled what had just happened.

He actually saw himself, yes! It was another self, pinching his neck with its hands.

Is this a dream? Chen Kun suddenly felt some pain in his neck.

He hurriedly got up and went to the bathroom, where two red marks appeared on his neck in the mirror.

Seeing this scene, Chen Kun couldn't help but take two steps back in fear. What's going on? Isn't this a dream? He looked at the scratches on his neck and thought.

And the almost-death physical examination did indeed exist. At this time, Chen Kun couldn't help but recall what the driver said: "They all said it was ghosts who were killing people."

It's impossible, it should be a dream. As a young returnee from overseas in the 21st century, Chen Kun naturally doesn't believe this.

He returned to the room and looked at the time on his phone. It was already around 7 a.m.

He opened the curtains and looked at the bright sky outside. For some reason, his eyes looked at the abandoned factory again.

The gray space makes this factory look a bit scary.

After what happened just now, Chen Kun was no longer sleepy. He sat on the sofa and searched for keywords on his mobile phone about dreaming of pinching himself.

Apparently what he had just experienced also frightened him.

However, he decided to see a psychiatrist after dawn. Maybe it was because of jet lag that he was sleepwalking, and the other self he saw was just a dream.

Chapter 3

"Beep, beep, beep," a phone call woke Chen Kun up.

Chen Kun woke up with a start. He looked at Jiang Fan's name displayed on his phone.

"Hello?" Chen Kun said.

"Stop sleeping, what time is it, where are you now?" Jiang Fan said on the phone.

"What time is it? I'm at Xianglian Courtyard now!" Chen Kun looked at the time and it was almost 11 a.m.

"Xianglianyuan? Jiang Fan on the other side frowned.

"Are you going home?" Jiang Fan thought that Chen Kun would just find a place to stay first.

"Then wait for me at home," Jiang Fan said and hung up the phone.

Twenty minutes later, a white car appeared at Xianglian Courtyard, and the person who got out was Jiang Fan.

"Come down, I'm here." Jiang Fan said to Chen Kun on the phone.

Three minutes later, Chen Kun appeared in front of Jiang Fan. Looking at Fa Xiao, whom he had not seen for two years, the two couldn't help but hug each other.

But Jiang Fan noticed the scratches on Chen Kun's neck!

"Get in the car," Jiang Fan frowned but said nothing.

"Still in the police force?" Chen Kun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked.

"What if?"

"What are you going to do when you come back?" Jiang Fan turned his head and glanced at the scratches on Chen Kun's neck.

"Let's rest for a few days first. We need to adjust to the time difference." Chen Kun said with a smile.

While the two were chatting, the car arrived in front of a food stall.

After the two drank a few bottles of beer, Chen Kun suddenly talked about what happened last night.

"You know I had a very strange dream last night." Chen Kun said after taking a sip of beer.

Jiang Fan frowned, he knew what Chen Kun was going to say,

"Last night I dreamed of myself, strangling my neck," Chen Kun pointed to the scratches on his neck.

"Look!" Jiang Fan looked at the scratches on Chen Kun's neck.

"It's better not to go back to Xianglian Courtyard recently." Jiang Fan frowned and said.

"Do you know something?" Chen Kun suddenly remembered the driver's words. He heard that five people died, but the murderer has not been found yet.

"Those who died, they all dreamed of the same scene as you." Jiang Fan said something that frightened Chen Kun.

"I dreamed of pinching myself," Jiang Fan said with a frown.

"Then...how did they all die?" Chen Kun's tone also had a hint of panic.

"Strangled myself to death." Jiang Fan glanced at Chen Kun.

What!!! Chen Kun’s expression changed drastically.

"Tell me what you encountered last night." Jiang Fan had no contact with that case at the time, and only listened to what they said.

Then Chen Kun told Jiang Fan everything he encountered last night, including the driver, the abandoned factory, the woman on the third floor of the factory, and his dream.

"Do you still have any influence on the driver?" Jiang Fan asked.

"No!" Chen Kun thought carefully. He really didn't notice the driver's appearance at that time.

"That factory has been sealed and no one is inside. Are you sure you read it correctly?" Jiang Fan asked.
