He is quite thin and often tells me all kinds of strange things.\ Ah Can's real name is not actually "Can"; it's just that he always looks miserable all the time, and accidents tend to happen to him. Over time, everyone forgot his real name and just called him "Ah Can."\ Ah Can really has bad luck.\ For example, one day, a group of us was leaving work together. As we reached the bottom of the building, someone upstairs threw an ink bottle out of the window. It hit Ah Can right on the head, causing him to get three stitches at the hospital. Later, the safety department investigated but couldn't find out who did it, and in the end, they just put up a few signs saying "Do not throw things out of the window."\ Once, when he was going downstairs, he inexplicably tumbled down the stairs and got bruised all over. Afterwards, he said someone pushed him from behind. The truth was, there were a lot of us present at the time, and everyone could see clearly that there was no one behind him.\ There were many similar incidents, so Ah Can gradually became well-known.\ Fortunately, he is a nice person, and there haven't been any reports of people getting unlucky from associating with him, so our colleagues aren't really wary of him.\ At some point, Ah Can started to often tell me about ghosts and monsters. I just listened casually and didn't pay much attention.\ At the end of this month, I had to take a self-study exam and was struggling with a bunch of boring terms and formulas in "Engineering Economics," and yet he came to bother me. Irritated, I said, "I know, didn't Ning Caichen meet Nie Xiaoqian? I have all three 'A Chinese Ghost Story' movies at home."\ Ah Can paid no attention to my tone and hurriedly said, "It's true! I saw it last night! It was really scary!"\ XXX, the more he talked, the more excited he got. I really regretted letting him know that I was interested in supernatural powers and mysterious events. I was the only one in the office who believed ESP abilities existed.\ I continued to read my book, ignoring him, thinking he would get the hint and leave.\ Who knew he actually came even closer and whispered, "You won't believe this. Last night, I had a couple of extra drinks, and in the middle of the night, my stomach felt uncomfortable, so I got up to go to the bathroom. Guess what happened?"As soon as I opened the bathroom door, inside...” I sighed, pushed aside the book in front of me, and looked up: “Ah Can, you just had a couple more drinks and had a nightmare. You know I have exams this month, and I haven't finished studying yet.” This was quite clearly a hint for him to leave, but Ah Can seemed not to understand at all and got even more excited. “When I opened the bathroom door, oh my god, I was almost scared to death! There was a female corpse inside, really terrifying, her head was chopped off, and she was covered in blood.” I laughed in anger: “Where's her head?” Ah Can said, “Her head was in front of her feet, and it even yelled at me: 'Give me back my life!' I laughed out loud, which drew the attention of the other colleagues in the office. Ah Can quickly said, ‘Shh, keep your voice down.'” I refused to lower my voice and shouted: “I think in your past life you did something bad and caused that woman's death, and now she's come back for revenge!” The colleagues understood what Ah Can was talking about, laughed heartily, and then went back to their own work. Ah Can's face turned red and then pale, and only after a long while did he softly say: “I knew you would say that, actually, I thought the same myself. That's why I went all the way to the temple at Baohua Mountain this morning to seek that old monk.” When he said this, I recalled that he really hadn't come to work this morning. I had also heard that there was a very mysterious old monk on Baohua Mountain, said to have mystical powers. So I became a bit curious and asked: “Did you see him?” Ah Can said: “I saw him, but he ignored me.” I couldn't help laughing: “You drank too much and hallucinated, of course he wouldn't pay attention to you.” Ah Can shook his head: “No, he said I sinned in my previous life and deserve retribution in this life.” I was stunned for a moment, wondering whether this was really what the old monk said or just Ah Can making things up. Ah Can continued: “I knelt for a full four hours before he let me in.” I said, “Oh.” Ah Can said: “He told me to come in and said he shouldn't be helping me resolve this calamity, but seeing my sincere heart, and that I had endured much suffering and repaid many sins in the past, he agreed to help me.” Wow, it was getting more and more unbelievable. I asked: “How did he help you?”"A Can said, "He gave me a talisman and made me drink a bowl of talisman water, saying that as long as I stuck this talisman on that female corpse tonight, she would reincarnate and never come looking for me again." The more I listened, the more unbelievable I felt: "Is that true?" A Can nodded seriously. I said, "Then why don't you try it tonight?" He sighed and said, "If it were that simple, I wouldn't have come begging you." I said, "Me?" What does that have to do with me? "A Can said, "That old monk said I can't put on this talisman; it must be done by someone unrelated to the matter." I said, "That old monk can't do it himself, right?" A Can gave a bitter smile: "It's already hard enough for someone to help me. How could I come down the mountain myself?" I thought for a moment and said, "So you want me to help you put up this talisman?" A Can looked pleading and said, "Yes, out of so many people, only you can help me." "I find this bizarre thing. Such things can only be seen in supernatural tales; they would never happen in real life." Seeing that I remained silent, A-Can continued to plead, "Please, just this once, I will never trouble you again." "I was curious, could there really be ghosts in this world? No way, right?" I said, "Alright, it's the weekend anyway, so there's nothing much to do tonight. Let me take a look for you." A-Can was overjoyed and whispered, "Alright, then come to my house tonight, but...... Don't tell anyone. I snapped: "Do you think I'll announce to the whole world that 'I'm going to catch ghosts tonight'?" "A Can smiled awkwardly. My parents aren't home. After work, I went home and made two packs of instant noodles. Seeing it was still early, I opened my computer and wrote a few letters. Checking the clock, it was already past 6:00, then rushed to the TV to turn it on. During this time, I had been playing "Sailor Moon," and I hadn't missed a single episode.
After watching the cartoon, it was 6:30. It was a bit too early to go to Acan's house, so I went back to keep writing letters. By the time I finished replying, it was already 8:30. Thinking about it, I guessed it was time to go out. At that moment, I couldn't help but regret it a little. I agreed for no apparent reason. How boring—do ghosts really exist in this world?But since I had promised, I had no choice but to go.\ A-Can's house is in a rather unique location, in a very remote area. However, the house is very large—it's a three-story building, built by his father five years ago. Originally, A-Can lived here with his parents, but one night three years ago, his parents mysteriously disappeared. The incident caused a huge stir in the neighborhood at the time, yet the police couldn't find any clues, and in the end, the case was left unsolved.\ Today is the fifteenth, and a full moon hangs in the sky.\ In front of A-Can's house is a large courtyard. I stood in front of the iron gate looking in, and surprisingly, not a single light was on in the entire house. The cold moonlight shone over the courtyard, turning the ground silver-white. Each window looked like a black hole, staring at me menacingly.|| For a moment, I suddenly thought of those horror movies—vampires, werewolves at midnight—and almost ran back. But the thought quickly passed. I sighed secretly; A-Can must have been living alone in such a big house for too long and developed delusions. I intended to suggest that he rent out some rooms. With more people around, he wouldn't be scared at night, constantly suspecting he might see a headless corpse.\ I pressed the doorbell.\ The doorbell must have been connected to inside the house because I couldn't hear anything from out here.\ I pressed it repeatedly, but there was no response at all.\ I suddenly felt a chill and looked around. All around were large trees, their tops rustling in the wind, sounding like many people slowly surrounding me in the darkness.\ Although the moonlight was bright, I could only make out the outlines of objects around me. I kept feeling like something in the dark was staring at me, ready to pounce at any moment.\ I felt a shiver run down my spine and reached to press the doorbell again. I decided to try one more time, and if A-Can still didn't show up, I would immediately go home and never come to this haunted place again.\ But my hand didn't touch the doorbell—it touched something soft.\ I nearly screamed in shock, turned around immediately, and realized that A-Can had somehow appeared behind me. My fingers had brushed against his face.\ A-Can said, “You're here.”\ I let out a long breath and complained, “Why did you come out so quietly?”You startled me. "A Can said, "I...... I didn't dare stay inside alone, so I was sitting under that tree over there just now, and only came over when I saw you coming. "" I shivered. A Can took out his key and opened the door. The iron door creaked, just like those terrifying castles in horror movies. I couldn't help but get nervous. A Can turned around and said, "Come in." I had no choice but to go in, and A Can turned around and locked the iron door from the inside. I said, "How did you lock the door?" A Can said, "I don't want anyone to disturb us." I didn't say anything and followed him inside, but as we walked, everything around was pitch black. I said, "Why aren't you turning on the lights?" A Can said, "All the light bulbs are broken." I said, "Then just replace them." A Can said, "It's useless. After replacing them, it broke again in less than two hours." I said, "Then there must be a problem with the circuit here. Didn't you call an electrician to check?" A Can gave a wry smile and said, "Did you forget that I work in electricity myself?" I checked several times and found no problems. "" I didn't say anything more and followed A Can inside. It was pitch black everywhere, with only moonlight streaming through the window, making out the outlines of some objects. A Can's house was very large, with a corridor over 20 meters long and many rooms on both sides. A Can walked ahead, making "click-clack" sounds echoing through the empty room. The more I walked, the more uneasy I felt. I wasn't sure if it was really or if it was just my mind, but I kept feeling a cold wind blowing on my neck. Cold sweat broke out on my forehead. The 20-meter-long corridor seemed to never end. I was too focused on what was behind me and couldn't help but walk slowly, so I suddenly realized that A Can, who was walking ahead, was nowhere to be seen. I was shocked, cold sweat immediately soaking through my clothes. I quickly quickened my pace and ran forward, calling out, "A Can, where are you?" "I was startled by my own voice, which echoed through the corridor, and just as I finished speaking, everything around me went dark. I felt a chill down my spine and couldn't think for a moment. I hadn't realized that the darkness was just the moon hidden by dark clouds.The surroundings were pitch black, I couldn't see anything, but I could hear a faint "woo-woo" sound. I didn't know if it was the wind or crying. In the dark night, it seemed extremely eerie and frightening. I almost cried out, my voice clearly tinged with sobs: "Ah Can... Ah Can... where are you?" I reached out my hand and slowly groped forward. I walked very slowly because I didn't know what I might encounter. When my hand touched the wall, my heart calmed down a bit, feeling that at least there was some support. But where had Ah Can gone? I slowly made my way along the wall, and my hand suddenly touched a doorknob. I turned it, and the door opened. I walked in slowly, calling out: "Ah Can... are you there?" There was no sound at all. By the door, I felt a switch on the wall and pressed it down. It was a light switch, but after pressing it, the light only flickered for less than a tenth of a second and then it became completely dark again. However, during that instant, it seemed I saw something, but specifically <
