There is a phenomenon in China, that is, in a few places, cities develop rapidly but are not protected properly, and the overall planning of urban construction has no long-term goals and is not coordinated and perfect. The result is that the overall landscape of the city is chaotic and even damaged. Among them, Ronghua Road in City A is a typical example of failure in this regard.

Before liberation, Ronghua Road was once a place where foreigners and local wealthy people lived. Both sides of the street were single-family buildings with Western architectural style, and lush tall trees, which were originally a very quiet and beautiful place. However, in recent years, due to the independent development of real estate developers, the harmonious style here has been completely destroyed. Looking around, one side of the street is office buildings, large shopping malls and supermarkets, catering and entertainment venues, and the other side is an unplanned area. There are several Western-style buildings and the back door of the University of A City.

Each of these small foreign buildings now has several ordinary families living in each of them. Due to the tight houses, each household has built many facilities to increase the area on the balcony or window according to their own wishes. In addition, the small buildings have been disrepaired, which looks particularly dilapidated from the outside. However, these houses were very sturdy when they were built back then, so they were still good inside.

Only a small Spanish-style white building still retains its original flavor, the exterior walls have been obviously painted, and the building structure has not been destroyed. It is particularly eye-catching in this mess. It can almost be said to be a flower surrounded by rocks, standing gracefully.

The owner of the building is named Lanshan, and the house was passed down from his ancestors. It is said that his ancestors were once rich families, but in his generation, only this house was left.

He is lazy and unprofitable, nicknamed Lai San. Fortunately, he did not become a beggar with this house. He himself knew that this was his only way to live, so he opened a small hotel with this beautiful foreign building.

It is said to be a hotel, but it is actually just a small hotel that can rent a daily house. There are only one or two guests who have lived there for a while, mainly to meet the needs of young couples on the university campus.

These couples live in school dormitories and do not have the conditions to go out to live together, so they often come here to rent a room for a try. Moreover, because there is only this hotel nearby, the occupancy rate of Lai San's hotel is very high.

He hired a woman from the countryside, Sister Wang, to clean it. He didn't have to work hard on it himself. He was only responsible for collecting money, and then spent the day leisurely and bored in the attic. Sister Wang lived in the basement.

When it opened, he gave the hotel a very elegant name, but later people called it the Lover Hotel, and no one remembered what its previous name was.

Now that the school is about to be on the winter vacation, the couple is about to part, his business is even more prosperous. Faced with another couple who are requesting to check in, he makes full use of Sister Wang's opportunity to visit the man she works on the construction site, charged the same price, but arranged them to the basement and knocked on the young student couple.

The basement was not heated and it was very cold in winter nights. After the passionate couple hugged each other and hid in bed to keep warm. After chatting about the school’s recent event, they fell asleep.

But when she slept until midnight, the girl suddenly woke up. She didn't know why, but she just woke up in a very heavy sleep, and she was so awake that she seemed to have never slept.

Perhaps, it is not sober, but fear? The deepest terror in the subconscious!

The basement is very dark. After turning off the light, it only relies on the so-called skylight, which is the upper end of the inner wall, which is almost flush with the ground outside the building. The light that the square foot of the hemp glass vaguely distinguishes the closest objects. But it was that little light that made the girl feel that someone stole her!

She actually couldn't see anything, but she just felt something darker hidden in the darkness, and was spying on her with malicious intentions.

There are not only the two of them in this room, but also the third party!

The feeling was so strong and so terrifying that it suddenly came suddenly, which scared the usually timid girl so much that she didn't dare to move, and she didn't dare to scream, but just stared at the invisible darkness. It seemed that the little animal hunted by a ferocious beast only knew that she was waiting in horror to be swallowed, and she had completely lost her ability to escape and call for help.

After a long time, nothing strange happened, but she still felt creepy. The unknown fear made her passively stalemate with the things in the dark, and she broke out in a cold winter night!

At this moment, the boy moved, muttered, and then turned over and hugged her and continued to sleep.

The girl took the opportunity to twist the boy's arm across her waist.

The boy was still in his dream, subconsciously shrank his hand and muttered, but he did not wake up. The girl had to increase her strength.

The boy woke up in a daze, "What are you doing?"

"On the light." The girl replied tremblingly, her throat was dry and she was very small, and her eyes were still staring at the darkness, fearing that something unusual would suddenly come.

There was only a dim light in the basement that seemed to be hanging at any time, and it was switched on the wall on the side of the boy.

"What's the matter?" The boy was sleepy and didn't want to stretch out his hand to the warm quilt.

"Open the light, please!"

The boy heard that the girl seemed to cry and was full of suspicion, but he turned around and turned on the light.

The faint light only shone into a semicircle, the boundary blurred, extending to places that cannot be illuminated. Only then did they realize that the basement was actually very large, narrow and long, and the narrower it became, the more they were inside, and they could not see the direction of the gate at all.

"What's wrong?" The boy saw the girl's face of fear and anxiety, and kept hudding into his arms, hugging her gently, and asked softly, "Have you had a nightmare?"

The girl shook her head and continued to stare at the end that she couldn't see. She felt that the thing in the dark had retreated for a while and had already reached the door, but the feeling of being peeped out still existed.

The boy became more and more puzzled, and followed the girl's frightened gaze and looked into the darkness, but saw nothing.

"It must be a nightmare." He kissed the girl's sweaty forehead. "I shouldn't have told you about the event tomorrow before going to bed. That one is too miserable. But don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"No." The girl pressed her closer to her boyfriend, leaned into his ear, and said nervously: "It seemed like someone in the room just now! Now she ran out of the door."

"I just said you were having a nightmare!" The boy smiled, "This is impossible. I am afraid that our posture will be too exciting when we love, and it will be bad for someone to see it. I deliberately locked the door carefully from the inside." The boy touched his girlfriend warmly, "And you forgot that this door is so difficult to open, and it makes such a loud noise when it is opened, how could someone come in!"

"But I really feel that someone is there!" The girl's panic diminished slightly, but the feeling just now still made her heart palpitations.

"That's your nightmare that's too real."

"No, no, it's true, I'm sure."

"Well, if you're really uneasy, I'll go and have a look." The boy compromised.

"Don't go, I'm scared!" The girl hugged her boyfriend tightly, and arose inexplicable panic, "Don't leave me alone here!"

"Be good, don't be afraid. I'm here!" The boy coaxed her. The basement was too cold. The boy wanted to return to the warm bed. "Otherwise we will lie down and talk for a while and I will be with you, so I won't be afraid."

The girl nodded and said something to her boyfriend for a while to calm her down. When the fear subsided, she even began to doubt whether she had a nightmare, because there was really nothing in the room.

They lay down hugging each other, turned off the lights, and said softly for a while, but nothing happened. Gradually, sleepiness slowly came again.

"Ha--" A strange sound of breath came.

It's very light, but it's particularly obvious in this quiet and dark night.

In the haze, the girl suddenly woke up again. She stared at the dark void at a loss. Before she could react, she suddenly felt something was wrong under the quilt. A hand was stroking her body, dry, rough, cold and stiff -

Whose hand?

She is pillowing on her boyfriend's left arm, and her boyfriend is lying on his back, the angle of that hand -

"Ah!" she screamed, sat up like a conditioned reflex, subconsciously pushed the hand away, and did not touch anything, but the feeling of being touched remains in her mind.

The boy was awakened by his girlfriend's scream in a half-dream and sat up in a hurry and turned on the wall light.

Under the light, there is still nothing, and the depths of the darkness are still not visible.

"What's wrong?" he asked hurriedly.

"He is here again, and he is still touching me!" The girl hugged her boyfriend desperately, "I'm afraid, let's leave here quickly!"

"Where can you go to midnight? The school can't go back! It's very cold tonight, and we will freeze to death when we stand on the street." The boy interrupted the girl, "You must have continued your consciousness just now, and then you have a nightmare."

"No, no, someone is really coming in. Really!"

“Impossible.”

"I didn't lie to you, he really - why don't you believe me?" The girl was anxious and afraid, and tears came out, looking at the darkness from time to time. At this time, the feeling of hair faded again, but she felt that it was not her hallucination!

"I'll go and see it." The boy had no choice.

"Don't go!"

"You are so sure and refuse to let me see it. Could it be that it took me a night like this?" The extreme sleepiness but unable to sleep made the boy a little impatient.

The girl choked up with grievance.

She didn't want to anger her boyfriend, but she was so scared. She didn't know what to do? How can she make her boyfriend believe her and how can she leave this gloomy basement? She looked around and there was nothing, and even the darkness that could not be seen was no movement. As long as her boyfriend woke up and the lights were on, the terrible feeling would slowly disappear. Could it be that she was crazy?

She hesitated for a long time and finally said, "Okay, let's go together."

"No need, it's cold outside." The boy softened again when he saw his girlfriend's frightened look. "Lying down, I won't go far." As he said, he got up, put on his clothes casually, took out the lighter and the switchblade that he usually used to cut fruit from his schoolbag.

"Be careful!" the girl whispered, really unwilling to be separated from him.

"Don't worry! It's okay. I'm from the amateur boxing team." The boy waved the knife and lighter in his hand and walked out.

He walked to the edge of darkness that could not be illuminated by the lights, and stepped in without any warning, as if he was swallowed up by the darkness. This made the girl suddenly feel a sense of separation from life and death at that moment, both afraid and sad.

She called her boyfriend's name softly.

The boy slowly turned his head and turned on the lighter, "Look, there is nothing." He shone around with the faint light, "Now I'll go out and take a look."

"No, come back, I believe it, no longer suspicious." The girl in the end said the "ghost" and said it, but she still shivered for a moment.

Are there ghosts here? They have come many times and have never encountered ghosts before! But what did they meet just now?

"Just take a look." The boy insisted.

He hopes that his behavior can make his girlfriend completely relieved and not be inexplicably frightened, so that everyone can sleep peacefully. The event held in the school tomorrow will require him to be busy for a while! He doesn't believe in any theory of ghosts and gods. If someone makes trouble, he also believes that his force is not inferior to that of this peeping thief.

His blood and energy made him fear more than anything else.

The lighter was turned off. The boy's figure fell into darkness again.

The girl couldn't see the other side, she could only hear the creaking sound of the door, and a gust of cold wind rushed into the room.
