The Urban Legends of Monsters: Playground (Part 1)
Playground
"Lin Rui, someone is looking for you..."
Lin Rui raised his head and looked outside the classroom through the window amid the greetings from his classmates. The man had already arrived at the door of the classroom. He stood up slowly and walked out, still muttering: "It's so long-winded, what are you doing here again..."
Outside the classroom is Lin Rui's cousin Lin Liwen.
Lin Liwen's high school is near Lin Rui's elementary school, so he would wander here from time to time to see Lin Rui, sometimes bring him some snacks, and sometimes just say a few words, but he Even Lin Rui had to endure the impatience in his heart to deal with the concern shown by this little cousin.
Lin Rui came out of the classroom, thinking that he didn't know what he was going to talk about again. If it was more cost-effective to send food or fried chicken legs, if it was to say that some things were not worth it, it would be even more exciting. Unbearable. Why is a high school student in trouble like an old lady? I really don't know what will happen to him when he gets old? Lin Rui walked out of the classroom with this thought in mind, but unexpectedly saw Lin Liwen's face very ugly. He was rubbing his hands and pacing back and forth. In this big winter, there were even beads of sweat on his temples, and his face was written "" anxious" four words.
Lin Rui felt nervous for a while, rushed over and asked loudly, "What happened to my mother? What happened to my mother?"
"Second aunt? What happened to the second aunt?" Lin Liwen looked confused after hearing his question.
Lin Rui immediately knew that he was thinking crooked. Seeing relatives rushing to find him, he suddenly thought of whether something happened to his mother, the one he cared about most, but he forgot the little magic he cast on his mother. If the mother is in any trouble, she is the first to know. Since it had nothing to do with his mother, Lin Rui immediately regained his composure, looked at Lin Liwen and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Xiao Rui, do brother a favor." Lin Liwen grabbed his hand as if he had seen a savior, "Do you have a talisman, can you lend it to brother for a few days?"
"Huh?" Lin Rui was at a loss.
Lin Liwen said in a mysterious and nervous voice: "Xiao Rui, I seem to have seen a ghost... No, I must have met a ghost, Xiao Rui, I know that you have an enlightened amulet. Can you give me a few days? You don't want to watch me get killed by a ghost, do you?"
"Ghost? What the hell?" Lin Rui saw that the teacher who stopped by the side had already thrown at them because of the words that frequently appeared in their conversations, which were detrimental to children's physical and mental health, and belonged to the category of feudal superstition. He caught his attention, so he blinked his eyes pretending to be innocent and asked, "The teacher said that those are all feudal superstitions and shouldn't be believed. There are no ghosts in the world."
Lin Liwen said anxiously: "What do those teachers know, they will deceive children! Only honest people like you believe them."
The teacher next to him looked even worse at the boy who wanted to ruin their top student, and was about to speak and drive him away. Lin Rui cursed his brother who couldn't wink in his heart, and quickly pulled him aside and asked, "What's the matter? Can you stop screaming in front of the teacher?"
"Teacher...Oh, your teachers are fierce..." Lin Liwen seemed to have just seen the teacher standing there, "Xiao Rui, I have met you these past few days... I can't tell you this, in case I'm scared What are you going to do, anyway, just give me the amulet first, don't ask anything else." Lin Liwen said repeatedly rubbing his hands.
"Okay..." Lin Rui pulled out a red cloth bag hanging around his neck from his clothes, took it off and handed it over. This amulet was specially requested by Lin Rui's grandmother after his serious illness. It is said that an expert has opened the door to him, and it can bless him in the future. Smart and clever, everyone loves him... Anyway, my grandmother spent her money and money to get it, but I don't know that the real Lin Rui's soul has already drifted into reincarnation, and now it's just that loneliness that has assimilated with this body. And the little nine-tailed fox who longs for motherly love.
Lin Liwen took it, and immediately hung it carefully around his neck, then patted Lin Rui's head: "If you think something is wrong with it, ask me to give it back to you immediately. Don't follow me when you go back. Lord, I will find a way myself."
"It's strange that that kind of **** is useful." Looking at Lin Liwen's back with the amulet on it, Lin Rui pouted in disdain.
In his opinion, that amulet was created purely to deceive superstitious old people like my grandma, let alone ghosts and monsters, even the remnants of the spirit body wandering in the air would not have the slightest of fear. He wears this kind of thing just for the image of a good boy who is obedient and filial. However, occasionally thinking of his dignified nine-tailed fox wearing this kind of amulet, which is said to be able to deal with monsters and monsters, he can't help but secretly laugh, not to mention that if other monsters in Lixin City know what they can produce The "laugh" is fruitful. It would be great if Lin Liwen could take it and never return it.
But is there really something wrong with him? Lin Rui wrinkled his nose and glanced a few more times in the direction Lin Liwen was going.
"Xiao Rui, your cousin is coming to see you again?" Shen Aixiang leaned over to see that Lin Rui didn't have snacks in his hand and couldn't help but feel disappointed. Lin Rui's cousin who studied at the high school across the road often gave Lin Rui delicious food.
"I didn't eat." Lin Rui spread his hands to him, "It seems that he is overly nervous about the exam, saying that he has seen a ghost, so he borrowed a talisman from me." He said half to Shen Aixiang and half to Xiang The teacher who stretched out his ears next to him explained.
"Look, see...ghost...ghost..." Although Chen Aixiang had a monster friend, he was most afraid of these strange and chaotic things in his life. When Qingtian heard it, he couldn't help but tremble.
"The teacher taught us that there are no ghosts in the world, and we should believe in science!" When the teacher walked past, Lin Rui said righteously and sternly and loudly.
Lin Liwen is the son of Lin Rui's uncle. Among Lin Rui's three cousins and cousins, he is the one who cares most about Lin Rui.
Probably out of sympathy for his younger brother who lost his father and was in poor health, he relied on the fact that the high school he attended was similar to the primary school that Lin Rui attended, so he ran to Lin Rui every three or five years. One is to declare to Lin Rui's classmates that Lin Rui has a tall and mighty brother like me nearby, and none of you want to bully him; the other is to always think that Lin Rui is weak and use his own pocket money Buy some chocolate or something for Lin Rui to eat.
On weekdays, he knew that Lin Qingping was busy with work, and he often took the initiative to take Lin Rui to play and party with his friends. Although there were many activities that were not suitable for elementary school students, such as ghost stories, his friends and classmates also "bring children" to him. His behavior is often ridiculed, but he still perseveres and fully shows his love for Lin Rui, his younger brother. Therefore, Lin Rui always thought that he was long-winded, and he still had feelings for this cousin in his heart. When he realized that something was wrong with him, Lin Rui really took it to heart.
After dinner, seeing her mother go out to the school to take the students to study in the evening, Lin Rui, who had been pretentiously doing homework in front of the desk, immediately jumped up, throwing a phantom of herself and pretending to be asleep on the bed , leaving another ghost envoy to serve as a security guard and liaison officer, and then rushed out of the house and went straight upstairs.
When Lin Rui rushed into Zhou Ying's house, Huo'er was occupying the entire sofa, drinking Coke, throwing fried diced pork, ice cream, and peeled melon seeds into his mouth, while watching cartoons with all his attention ——This guy never has to pretend to be a good boy. He has always been unscrupulous, doing whatever he wants.
Lin Rui grabbed its drink and took a few sips, then said, "I'm going to catch ghosts, are you going?"
Huo'er blinked: "What the hell? Is it delicious?"
Lin Rui shook his head: "I don't know what the **** is, but most of the time, it won't be delicious."
Huo'er was boring: "What are you going to do! Why don't we go hunters, I haven't eaten people for several days."
Lin Rui dragged it and left: "It's alright, alright, accompany me to do business first, and then I'll accompany you to the hunter."
Huo'er was pushed out of the window by it, and Lin Rui turned into a nine-tailed fox and jumped on its back: "Go, go to my stupid cousin's school, he said he met a ghost."
"Oh... that cousin who always likes ghost stories. He must be very happy now that he finally met a real ghost." Huo'er still had a vague impression of Lin Liwen, remembering that he likes ghosts very much story people. But I don't know that for human beings, liking ghost stories and liking ghosts are basically two concepts.
"No wonder he's happy..." Lin Rui muttered to himself.
According to Lin Rui's instructions, Huo'er quickly flew to a corner of the city, bargaining along the way: "Let's talk about it first, I will take 70% of all the prey, and you will eat the rest." /
"If it's a ghost, I don't mind giving it all to you."
"This is what you said, don't be rude!"
"When did I lose my skin?"
"Last time, last time, last time, last time... why did you jump down, I haven't finished counting yet!"
Lin Liwen lives in the school's student dormitory.
A small dormitory was crammed into eight beds and accommodated seven students. There are neither air conditioners nor fans, and in such a hot season, there is only a window that can only be opened halfway for ventilation. Seven and a half boys live together, and the sanitary conditions and living habits are naturally not much better. The smell inside is really "intriguing".
Lin Liwen can go back and forth between home and school by bicycle every day. A 40-minute bicycle ride is not far in a big city like Lixin City. You can even live in Lin Qingping's house. Lin Qingping's home is close to the school, and only Lin Qingping's mother and son live. Although life is more difficult, the environment is at least much better than the school dormitory, and Lin Qingping also welcomes him. However, in the rebellious period, the children's incomparable desire for freedom and the shackles of leaving their elders made Lin Liwen refuse all this and insist on living in the school's dormitory. According to Lin Liwen's mother, who once went to the dormitory to deliver things for him, she said, "It's not a place for people to live. This child has been squeamish since he was a child, how can he bear it..." But she didn't know how comfortable her son lived. Happy not thinking about Shu.
When Lin Rui jumped to the window sill of the dormitory, he saw that four of the seven boys in the dormitory were lying on the bed smoking cigarettes. Among these smokers, there was his Cousin Lin Liwen. "What a bad boy!" Lin Rui made such a remark in his heart. He came to protect Lin Liwen, but the other party was secretly smoking. I'm really sorry for his worries.
"Where is the prey? Where is it? Why didn't I find a ghost?" Fire fell on the windowsill and looked around. The smell in this room was really incompatible with the word "delicious", and its original enthusiasm was instantly extinguished by nine-tenths. Fire's ability to sense things like ghosts is very low. Presumably because its abilities are so far removed from ghosts, just as the human eye has trouble noticing tiny insects, it's also hard to notice what ghosts are. Lin Rui pulled it just in case, and didn't expect it to help find ghosts.
Lin Rui glanced at the room, and there was indeed nothing unusual. It was different from the cold ghost he noticed from Lin Liwen in the morning, because the seven big men who lived in this dormitory made the There are very few wandering spirits here. "Am I mistaken?" Lin Rui said to himself with a flick of his tail.
"You must be mistaken, why didn't I see any ghosts. Let's go, let's go hunting." Huo'er didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.
Lin Rui nodded, looking at Lin Liwen's way, it makes people feel that he is too worried about him: "Let's go to Nan Yu's place first, my mother has been sleeping hard at night recently, I'm afraid she's aware of using too much magic, Ask Nan Yu if there is another way."
"Okay, okay, I like to see Nanyu." Huo'er raised his wings in favor of this proposal. Nan Yu's house is one of his favorite places to go. What monsters are specially reserved for him, stories he has never heard before, and exquisite gifts, as long as you go, you will gain something. It is estimated that if Lin Rui proposed to find someone like Liu Di, he would definitely make a scene.
In the house, Lin Liwen did not know when he had finished smoking the cigarette, and had already climbed down from the upper bunk, playing with a few classmates.
"I'm actually worried about this idiot, it seems that I'm the idiot myself!" Lin Rui pouted, jumped on Huo'er's back and walked away.
The closer it was to midnight, the tighter Lin Liwen's heart tightened.
I wonder if I will be bothered by that nightmare tonight? I wonder if that ghost will come to haunt me tonight?
Although in front of his classmates, he pretended that nothing happened out of face, but when it was time to turn off the lights and the classmates fell asleep, the sense of helplessness flooded into his heart.
"Maybe it won't come tonight, maybe Xiao Rui's amulet is useful, maybe..." Lin Liwen thought in his heart, and covered himself with a towel, but he didn't dare to fall asleep, he just kept going I prayed in my heart that I would never let Xian experience such horror again tonight. No matter how hard he tried to keep his spirits up, he didn't want to fall asleep, but he was at the age when he needed enough sleep, and he hadn't slept well for several days in a row, and finally fell into sleep unknowingly.
"Brother, let's go to the playground..." In the dream, Lin Liwen vaguely felt that he was holding Lin Rui's hand, and Lin Rui was happily running and jumping in front of him, insisting on dragging himself to the playground. This little cousin has been well-behaved since he was a child. Lin Liwen likes Er Gu very much, and he also has pity and love for this cousin who lost his father at a young age. He wished he had a chance to make him happy. Now that he wants to take him to play, of course Lin Liwen will not refuse.
"I wanted to take you there on Sunday. I told you a long time ago that you can tell when you want to go out and play. It's always good, adults don't care if you want to go out or not! Remember me When I was a child, I wanted to ask my dad...to ask my mom to take me to a park (to take care of Lin Rui, who lost his father when he was young, he changed his words abruptly), and I had to cry and make a scene. Second aunt is so busy, don't you? Said she wouldn't have time to take you out to play. But it doesn't matter, where do you want to go, simply say, they don't take you, and me!" After speaking, he wanted to withdraw his held hand and pat his chest to assure, But found that the hand could not be pulled back.
"Go to the playground, go to the playground..." The little figure in front kept running and jumping, pulling his hand forward.
Look at the back, look at the hairstyle, it's not Xiao Rui at all! Lin Liwen shook his hand vigorously, trying to break free: "Who are you? Where do you want to take me?"
The child's tiny fingers were as powerful as a mouse trap, and Lin Liwen couldn't break free. And he ignored Lin Liwen's question, still jumping forward, seemingly very excited. While trying to get rid of him, Lin Liwen looked around, but found that he didn't know where he was. He was pulled by the child as if he was running in a long passage. There was a dark red color in the darkness. The light, the foot is high and the foot is low, there are places like puddles from time to time. In my heart, I was glad that I couldn't see the surroundings clearly, because this is probably not a place that would make people happy to see it, and it might be better to see it than to see it.
At this time, Lin Liwen already vaguely understood that he was dreaming again, and he knew very well the development of this dream, so he struggled again and again, trying to break free from the child's hands, Break free from this nightmare.
"Brother, why hasn't the amusement park arrived yet?" The child seemed tired of running too, stopped, turned around and asked Lin Liwen.
Lin Liwen let out an exclamation, where was the face of a child, it was clearly a skeleton, a skeleton wrapped only in a layer of skin. The child's eyes were deeply sunk in the sockets, his lips were too thin to cover his teeth, his white teeth and red gums were exposed, and he smiled at Lin Liwen: "Brother, take me quickly. Go to the amusement park."
How dare Lin Liwen to talk, he slapped the hand he was holding onto himself, and kicked him fiercely with his feet.
The child's face became more and more ugly. Blood began to bleed from the originally bloodless skin. After a while, it turned into a **** appearance, and he was still shouting: "Take me to the amusement park, take me to the amusement park. Paradise, you said you took me there!" The other hand also grabbed Lin Liwen. Lin Liwen slapped him not to let him catch him. At first, he was still in the shape of a child, but in the entanglement with Lin Liwen, his appearance gradually changed. , first a bone finger swung out from under the skin, then another, then an arm, then another arm, and finally, when his entire skeleton jumped out of the skin, two eyes because of the loss of the protection of the eyelids , it flowed out of his eyes at once, he dragged it with one hand and stuffed it back, when he stretched out that hand to Lin Liwen again, Lin Liwen shouted in disbelief, and sat up from the bed at the same time. .
Fortunately it was a dream...
The cold sweat on his face had flowed down his neck all the way to the pillow. Lin Liwen touched his hands and feet, all of which were cold. He sat on the bed for a long time, lit a cigarette, and finally broke free from the nightmare.
This kind of dream started a month ago, and I have it every night. It is the child in the dream, and I have to take him to the amusement park. At the beginning, the child's image was acceptable, just a weirder boy, but as time passed, his appearance became more and more terrifying, making Lin Liwen struggle in nightmares every day.
"What broken amulet is useless!" Lin Liwen angrily threw the amulet he borrowed from Lin Rui aside, but after thinking about it, he picked it up and hung it around his neck, lying on the bed with his eyes open. Staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Lin Rui, who was standing on the head of the bed, blew a breath at Lin Liwen. Lin Liwen, who had not slept well for many days, suddenly fell asleep. If there were no accidents, he would sleep until the afternoon, although it was not enough. The lack of sleep during this period was made up for it, but it could also relax his nerves.
Fortunately, I turned around and looked at it, because the trick used by this ghost was too small and too innocuous, and it almost made Lin Rui lose sight of it. He looked at Lin Liwen with a thoughtful look on his face.
That nightmare was just caused by a ghost "seed" imprinting in Lin Liwen's mind. It was not difficult for Lin Rui to track down and find the little ghost, and it was easy to deal with the other party. It was enough to let a ghost pass. But after seeing that dream, for some reason, a kind of fear arose in his heart, and he hesitated to follow it right away.
That little ghost is called Brother Sen Liwen, could he be...
Lin Rui had an unspeakable feeling in his heart, staying there and unable to move.
He suddenly remembered that his name was Ming'er, yes, he was not Lin Rui originally, but Bai Yiming, a somewhat feminine name, but now if someone called "Bai Yiming" behind his back "Yi Ming", it must have taken him a long time to reflect who the other party was calling, right? Although he used the name for a hundred years, Lin Rui only used the name for a short year.
Alas...
He let out a long sigh and flew in the direction of his house in a dejected manner.
Huo'er chirped behind him: "Fox, fox, where are you going? We haven't started playing yet..." Who knew that Lin Rui disappeared from its field of vision, making Huo'er angry Gotta jump straight.
"Lin Rui... Lin Rui... Who is Lin Rui..."
Lin Rui stood in front of the mirror and looked at the handsome and fair boy in the mirror. This is not Bai Yiming's face, but Lin Rui's, but is it Bai Yiming who is standing here? Or Lin Rui? Who are you? Is it Bai Yiming who occupies Lin Rui's body? Or Lin Rui with Bai Yiming's soul?
He suddenly began to feel frightened. With a wave of his hand, the mirror was obscured by a cloud of fog, and he could no longer reveal the figure in front of him.
"Mom...Mom..."
Lin Qingping was awakened from her sleep, and a small figure threw herself into her arms.
"Mom, I want to sleep with you." Lin Rui's eyes were red, as if he had just cried, Lin Qingping hurriedly hugged him: "What's wrong, Xiao Rui? What's wrong with you?"
"I had a nightmare, I want to sleep with my mother." Lin Rui buried his head in his mother's arms, his body trembling.
Lin Qingping took him into the bed, let him lie on his pillow, stroked his hair, and gently sang to him until he fell asleep. Staring at Lin Rui's sleeping face, Lin Qingping sighed pitifully.
Perhaps because he has experienced too many hardships in life, Xiao Rui is too well-behaved and sensible. Especially after a serious illness, his physical growth rate seems to be much slower than that of children of the same age, but his mind seems to be much more mature than children of the same age. He never causes any trouble for adults, instead, he always thinks of adults in everything. He never put forward various material requirements to his mother like children of the same age, but did his best to undertake housework. Of course, Lin Qingping is also proud of having a child with excellent learning, good character, obedient and well-behaved, but she hopes that her child will be happy and healthy. These two things are really more important than everything else.
"I'm sorry Xiao Rui, my mother is always busy with work and cares too little about you. You are mother's baby, mother's baby... Mom must make you happy..."
Lin Rui felt his mother's kiss fall on his face, and he hugged his mother's arm tightly. This is my mother, my most important mother, I can do anything for her, I want to be "Lin Rui", I am Lin Rui, no one wants to take away my mother, no matter who it is, I will not Concession, if anyone dares to influence my life, I will...
After getting up the next day, Lin Rui's eyes were still red, and according to Zhao Huo'er, he was "more like a fox".
He has been in a state of absent-mindedness all day long, distracted in class, walking into trees, and throwing magic tricks at people when he is in conflict. Even his friend Chen Aixiang, who has always been more nervous, noticed something was wrong. , followed him and asked again and again: "Lin Rui, are you sick? Why are you so wrong today? Go to the infirmary and see!"
Lin Rui didn't want to say anything. As soon as the school bell rang, he rushed out of the school, dismissed Shen Aixiang in a few words, and went straight to Lin Liwen's school.
Lin Liwen was sitting on the bed and yawning.
After experiencing that nightmare last night, I somehow fell into a deep sleep, and it was noon when I woke up. While cursing the group of unscrupulous guys in the same dormitory for not asking him to go to class~IndoMTL.com~, he did not stop doing it after half a day of absenteeism, and then climbed back into the bed and slept beautifully until this I get up when my stomach is so hungry that it growls. He sat there eating a pack of instant noodles that he had only found after rummaging through the dormitory, and stretched comfortably - but he made up for the lack of sleep in the past few days. Did Xiao Rui's amulet work? I slept all day and didn't have that nightmare again, take him to the amusement park on Sunday to repay him?
Lin Liwen was enjoying himself heartlessly, while nibbling on the instant noodles, he subconsciously understood that his experience of "meeting a ghost" was over.
Lin Rui stared at him angrily, really wanting to put a spell on him to make him have worse nightmares for the next month. After he deeply processed the trace in Lin Liwen's thinking and cut off its connection with Lin Liwen, Lin Rui breathed lightly on it and watched it meandering and sliding out of the window and drifting into the distance.
"It's cheap for you this time, and next time I make trouble, let's see who will help you!" Lin Rui put down the threat that the other party didn't even know about Lin Liwen, who didn't know his existence at all, and followed the "line". go.
