Autumn night
My name is Zhang Haomin and I live on the tenth floor of a high-rise building by the Yangtze River.
One late autumn night, my college classmate accidentally broke into my home.
I am extremely excited because I haven’t heard from him for a long time, and I almost forgot his name. At his prompt, I remembered his name as Zhao Yu.
Besides being happy, I specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for him, and I celebrated the wine with him.
His expression didn’t make me happy because of my dinner. On the contrary, the years engraved more wrinkles on his face, and there were some bitterness in the wrinkles.
I don’t like to keep my eyebrows closed in a pleasant atmosphere, so I kept persuading him to drink.
He took a sip of reluctantly and suddenly asked me strangely. Do you remember that we were the best friends when we were in college?
I nodded, of course I remember, we eat together, starve together, study together, talk about women together.
He suddenly stood up and glared at me, so why did you almost forget my name?
I was stunned for a moment, but I shouldn’t have answered.
He suddenly smiled again and patted my back. In fact, I almost forgot you. Fortunately, I suddenly thought of you when I got on the elevator, so I went to your tenth floor to take a look. you.
This sentence actually made me very sad, but I still pretended to smile and toasted him.
We were a little drunk when we were half drunk. He pointed at me and said, I really remember you now.
I said with a smile, I remember you too.
He patted my head, no, I remember you, but you don’t remember me at all! Otherwise you can’t sit here steadily!
I thought to myself whether I remember what he had to do with me sitting here?
Zhao Yu looked around the room, and then said with a smile, do you remember when we were in college, we lived together in this room?
I said remember, we think the school dormitory is in poor condition, so three people moved here to live.
Zhao Yu smiled, and then we are not in the future, you bought this house alone?
I nodded, yes, I like the environment here, especially the Yangtze River outside the window.
Zhao Yu looked directly at me, we used to live with three people, think about it, who else besides me and you?
I thought about it, but I didn’t think about it, so I shook my head awkwardly.
Zhao Yu suddenly laughed, and I forgot, but this house is definitely occupied by three people, isn’t it?
I nodded in agreement.
Then Zhao Yu said, I just met a person when I got on the elevator. The person said that he used to live with us, butI thought for a long time without remembering what he was called.
I hurriedly asked, what does he look like?
Zhao Yu recalled that he wore black frame glasses and was thin.
I complained, then you should call him to my house for two drinks.
I said. Zhao Yu said, but he refused to come.
Is there something wrong with him? I asked.
No, he was crying, so he refused to come. Zhao Yu said with a smile.
Why does he cry? I don’t understand.
Zhao Yu thought about it and then looked at me and said, I can’t say it because I want to cry too.
I asked, why do you want to cry too?
Zhao Yu looked at me strangely and said, I am in the same situation as him.
Then, Zhao Yu slowly told his experience three years ago, which seemed to be beneficial to help my mind try to recall something.
Why do boys cry
Drinking here, I think I should take a break and chat.
I looked at him with no red face and asked, why are you not drunk yet?
Zhao Yu touched his face. I didn’t hurt my face after drinking.
Is it? I frowned and thought, I remember you drinking and hurting your face.
Zhao Yu leaned against the corner and seemed not very happy. Can you listen to me tell me what happened that night three years ago.
I hurriedly clenched my fists, sorry, you continue to talk.
Zhao Yu’s face was slowly attached to the table, and then he suddenly lifted it up, starting a heavy memory.
Three nights ago, Zhao Yu, me and the black glasses were chatting in the house.
Because I fell asleep quickly, I knew nothing about what happened later. And tonight Zhao Yu’s story made me start to understand. That night, Zhao Yu was diligently sweeping the garbage in the room, and then looked at me who was asleep, and said to the black glasses, you go with me to buy something, and by the way, dump the garbage.
Black glasses happened to have to go to the convenience store below to buy something, so the two of them walked down the elevator carrying the garbage together.
The elevator was annoyingly hot in the sultry weather, making Zhao Yu and the black glasses extremely uncomfortable. This discomfort seemed to last for a long time. So when heAs they stepped out of the elevator, the two took a long sigh of relief together.
Zhao Yu hummed Xiaoqu to prepare to dump the trash in the trash can outside, but found that the trash was forgotten in the elevator, but they could not control so much, the two went directly to the convenience store.
But on the road, the black glasses suddenly changed his mind. He touched his pocket, and suddenly opened his eyes to Zhao Yu. Oops, I didn’t bring my money. I have to go back and get the money. You go first.
Zhao Yu thought about it, so he went to the convenience store alone. The black glasses turned back and walked back to the elevator.
Since the night was very deep, Zhao Yu did not see a figure when he walked all the way from the elevator to the convenience store.
When he hurriedly bought a few pieces of bread from a convenience store, the corridor leading to the elevator was black and black, and only a slightly shiny “9” shook slightly in the dark, looking weak.
Zhao Yu did not slow down in the dark, but walked towards the bright red “9” beside the elevator.
When Zhao Yu groped for the button of the elevator and pressed it, the elevator slowly descended from “9”. When the red light jumped from “9” to “1”, the bread in Zhao Yu’s hands was also gnawed, and the elevator slowly opened the door. After Zhao Yu entered the elevator, he skillfully pressed a “10”, and then the elevator went up slowly.
At this time, Zhao Yu suddenly thought that the black glasses should have pressed “10”, why did I just come to see “9”?
It seems that after the black glasses went on the tenth floor, there was another person on the ninth floor. Zhao Yu thought.
When he first became aware of this, the elevator had stopped and slowly opened the door.
When Zhao Yu was about to walk out, he looked up and found a person standing directly across from him. He couldn’t help but startled, but soon he found out that this person was originally black glasses and was looking at it coldly at the moment he.
So Zhao Yu asked strangely, why are you still going on?
The black glasses looked at Zhao Yu without saying anything.
Zhao Yu looked at the black glasses strangely and asked, why didn’t you answer me?
The black glasses opened their mouths and smiled, and then Zhao Yu saw a red liquid flowing out of his mouth.
Zhao Yu was stunned for a while, he didn’t say what he wanted to say, and even forgot that he was still in the elevator.
The elevator then closed the door slowly and continued to ascend.
At this time, Zhao Yu looked up and was surprised to find that he was in the elevator, and that he had not reached the tenth floor!
So what floor was it just now? When Zhao Yu thought this, he looked at the numbers displayed on the elevator in horror.
It was the ninth floor. Why should black glasses go to the ninth floor?
I laughed at this time and asked, did you mean that you saw black glasses on the ninth floor?
Zhao Yu nodded and looked at me with a smile.
Then the elevator went up to the tenth floor again?
Zhao Yu nodded with a smile.
I asked curiously, and then?
Zhao Yu burst into laughter suddenly, which made me hard to understand. So I asked, what are you laughing at?
Zhao Yu laughed with tears in his eyes, and he laughed while wiping his tears. You are really forgetful. What did you see later?
I was even more confused, and I touched my confused mind, did I see it? Why can’t I remember?
Zhao Yu reminded that you forgot, and then you woke up and found that there was no one in the room?
Yes, I said, as if there was such a night.
Zhao Yu’s laughter was louder. I patted my back again, think about it, think about it again, what happened next?
My incoherent memories
I started to work hard to remember that night.
Yes, the three of us seemed to chat together that night, and then I fell asleep confusedly.
When I woke up, I didn’t know what time it was. I was very hungry, so I got up and wanted to ask Zhao Yu if I had anything to eat. It turned out that the whole room was empty and there was no one.
Where did they go? I muttered.
I was thinking so, the doorbell rang.
Zhao Yu must be back, I thought.
I hurried over to open the door.
Thoughts are broken here. Who did I see when I opened the door?
Zhao Yu reminded that what you saw was definitely not me.
I asked, who is that?
Zhao Yu smiled, you think about it, is it black glasses?
I started to try my best to bring the next thing closer to the black glasses, but it seems to be in vain, I really can’t remember it.
Zhao Yu sighed, you really forgot, really forgot.
I looked at Zhao Yu guiltily, and stopped talking.
Zhao Yu looked at me and said, let me help you remember.

(Tips Zhao Yu gave me)
After opening the door, I saw black glasses standing there.
I hurriedly asked, what about Zhao Yu? Are you not with him?
The black glasses stood at the door and suddenly smiled, red liquid came out of his mouth, and his teeth appeared strangely after that, all of them were blood red.
I quickly asked, why did your mouth bleed? What happened?
The black glasses suddenly disappeared.
Yes, he was gone in a blink of an eye.
I smiled at Zhao Yu, are you writing a fairy tale? Why is there such a big person saying that there is no such thing?
Zhao Yu also laughed with me, yes, such a big person shouldn’t be gone all at once, but he is not human.
I said, why are you scolding black glasses?
Zhao Yu pouted, why did I scold him? He was no longer human when he knocked on the door.
I laughed, well, so what did I do after he disappeared in a blink of an eye?
Zhao Yu’s eyes were not glorious, he looked up at the ceiling, and then, you walked out of the house in horror and walked towards the elevator.
I hurriedly said, wait, I seem a little impressed, you let me think about it.
Yes, I was a little impressed. I remember I walked to the elevator door in horror and looked around. I saw a red display on the elevator door. A “9” is flashing, so I pressed it.
It stands to reason that I am on the tenth floor. When I press the elevator, the elevator is still on the ninth floor, and the elevator from the ninth floor to the tenth floor needs at least a short time to start, right?
But I seem to remember that the door opened immediately when I pressed the elevator that day.
Then I, ah, my thoughts are confused again, what did I see?
Zhao Yu sneered and looked at me and said, think about it.
Looking at Zhao Yu’s expression, I suddenly widened my eyes and remembered that I saw you standing at the door and looking at me.
Zhao Yu nodded and was clever, what then?
I frowned, I forgot.
Zhao Yu couldn’t help smiling.
(Tips from Zhao Yu)
When I saw Zhao Yu standing at the door, I couldn’t help but ask curiously, why are you here?
Then Zhao Yu looked at me coldly without speaking.
I was surprised, I just saw black glasses talking to me at the door, but he seemed to be invisible and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Yu didn’t seem to be interested in my words, but looked at me silently.
At this time, the elevator closed again, and Zhao Yu didn’t even come out.
Recalling this, it seems that it should come to an end. I ate a piece of tomato and asked Zhao Yu ridiculously, what happened afterwards?
Zhao Yu’s smile still doesn’t change, he said to me, later? Later you should be most clear.
Can you give me another hint?
Zhao Yu sighed, I really don’t know what happened later, you should know it yourself.
I patted my head, and I really don’t remember.
Zhao Yu took a sip of wine, did you ever wonder why your memory is so bad?
I was stunned for a while.
Yes, my memory seems to be getting worse. Why am I forgetting so many important things for no reason, even the names of my good friends in college, I also forgot, is my mind What’s wrong?
Zhao Yu saw that I was thinking about it, so I added a sentence, you really don’t remember what happened that night?
I shook my head.
So good, I won’t bother you anymore, I’ll say goodbye first.
After he said this, I suddenly found out that I was the only one in the house. When did he get out of the house? I forgot.
Fortunately, my memory recovered bit by bit.
I’m really the only one in the room. I remember drinking with someone just now? What’s the name of this person? I forgot again.
What happened on the night three years ago?
I walked to the balcony in a trance, and I was relieved to see the beautiful water of the Yangtze River under my feet.
I went to the elevator at this time.
There is a “1” on the digital display next to the elevator, not the horrifying “9” just now.
I pressed the elevator, and the elevator rose slowly.
1, 2, 3…
What happened? Why can’t I remember at all?
……7, 8, 9, 10…
! The elevator door opened.
Several women and old people stood inside.
The woman holds the child in her hand, and the child looks at me strangely, with a childish look revealing terror.
They gave me a look after I came in. They seemed to be engaged in a certain topic just now, and they didn’t like being heard by outsiders, so their voice was deliberately low.
Women: I remember, I only know two people died.
Old man: So how long did the two children die after being suffocated?
Women: I found it only the next morning, the elevator would not be able to move, and it was awkward. The vent did not know the reason. There was something stuck on it, which was not there before.
Old man: There are doorbells for emergency calls on the elevator. Didn’t the two children press?
Women: It may be pressed, but who heard it?
Old man: This elevator won’t happen?
Women: No, it is domestically produced. Domestic elevators are safer than imported elevators.
Old man: Alas, it’s a pity to die at such a young age.
Women: Yeah, I heard that there was another child who was dead and didn’t sleep. The two children might have dumped the garbage. As a result, the garbage hadn’t been poured into the elevator, and the elevator door was later. When I opened it, I found that there was still garbage next to the body.
Old man: The fatal child must have been scared to death.
Women: I heard people here say that this elevator is still haunted. The fatal child has been scared into a neurosis, and he has forgotten what he said at a young age. What do you tell him, he is old It’s just like an idiot.
Old man: I can’t stand being so afraid of people.
Women: Be quiet, this fatal child is now being treated in our building.
silent for a long time until the elevator reached the ground floor.
Old man: Do you remember which floor of the elevator was stuck?
Women: NinthFloor.
