On October 2, 2014, surveillance video was investigated. The screen is a road monitor, with the road name in the upper left corner and the time in the upper right corner.

The picture is a little blurry, but you can see clearly what is on the road.

Looking at the name of the road, it happens to be the Guoqiang Road at the gate of the six villages of workers and peasants. The time was October 1, 2014, the day the client Zhang Qing arrived at the office.

In the first few seconds of the video screen, pedestrians and vehicles on the road are normal.

From the end of Guoqiang Road, that is, on the left side of the picture, a person came out. A red circle appeared in the video, encircling the person.

This should be Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing walked normally, looking around, as if he was looking for a way.

As he walked to the middle of the frame, he suddenly turned his head.

The picture freezes and rewinds a few seconds.

Zhang Qing took those steps again, but before he could turn around, a red circle appeared again in the video. It was not to circle Zhang Qing, but to circle Zhang Qing's back.

Under the second street tree behind Zhang Qing, there was suddenly an extra bicycle.

The bicycle came out of thin air, and two seconds later, Zhang Qing turned around.

It is difficult to see Zhang Qing's expression in the blurry picture. But he immediately turned his head, quickened his pace, and walked out of the surveillance range.

It took another dozen seconds for the bike to disappear into thin air, just as it appeared.

Neither the people nor the cars passing by noticed the strange sight.

In the picture, there is neither yin nor other strange atmosphere.

That's it for the video.

On October 3, 2014, the client was contacted.

“……”

"Mr. Zhang, you saw it. You are not delusional and you have no mental illness. ”

"Heh......"

"What this thing is, we can't be sure for the time being. Video has limitations. We need to see this thing with our own eyes. Mr. Zhang......"

"What can you do?"

"We want to walk with you. We follow you and keep our distance from you. You don't even know we exist. ”

"Oh......"

"Are you alright, Mr. Zhang? Even if this thing is not something you imagined, with your current state of mind, it is best to relieve it. Too nervous or too scared......"

"I know, I know! I know! I...... Excuse me...... This thing...... Call...... You've seen the surveillance, the surveillance...... You don't know...... That thing is haunting. That thing kept staring at me. Everywhere I go, I can see ...... I was stared at. It deliberately let me know that it was staring at me. It...... If I don't pay attention, it will also ring the bell and make a little noise...... And...... I think it's getting more and more arrogant......"

"What happened to you when you went back yesterday?"

“……”

"Mr. Zhang?"

"I ...... When I got home, I came across ...... It follows me...... It used to be motionless. No, I mean, it didn't move as much before. It...... It just pops up, I turn a corner, I can't see it, and it's over. This...... I saw it on my way back. It is parked on the side of the road, in the middle of several bicycles. The bell rang on its own. It doesn't ring, I don't know yet. I immediately crossed the street, across the road. The road was a bit long and there were no forks...... I quickened my pace and immediately ran to the intersection. After that, it won't follow. It just pops up once or twice a day. When I go to work, when I get off work, when I go out and when I come home, it's just twice. This...... I turn a corner, and it ...... It's right in front of me...... Just around the corner of the sidewalk, right there...... I...... I'm staring at it...... I turned around and ran! I'll run straight away! When people around me see me, they look at me like that......"

"Was there anyone on the road at the time?"

"Hmm. Someone. It was only three or four o'clock when I left from you, and of course there were people. That's why I say it's arrogant! ”

You continue. Did you run home after that? ”

"I ...... As I was running, I heard the car bell. It's just across the road...... I ran all the way home and saw it three or four times...... More than ever before, more than any other day......"

"Hmm. Don't be nervous, Mr. Zhang......"

"You don't understand! I saw it again when I came today! It follows me! It followed me directly today! When I'm walking, it's on the way! It's on the way, you know? No one rides, it's just on the road......"

"You mean, it's following you on the road?"

"Yes, that's it...... If there are people around, it is also ...... I cross the street, and it crosses the street. I ran and it sped up. And rings the bell! It will follow me with a bell! It's haunted...... Around, no one around you can see ...... That's what I saw...... It kept three or four meters behind me all the way here...... That thing...... That thing ......"

"Did you do anything special on your return trip yesterday?"

“……”

"Did you do anything related to bike sharing before all this anomaly started?"

“……”

"Mr. Zhang, this thing is not a ghost. If, as you say, it's even more powerful now. We may not have much time left. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It may have malicious intent towards you, it may attack you."

“……”

"Moreover, it should have a certain sense of autonomy. We'll follow you once or twice, and we won't get to see it. So, we hope you can provide more leads. Have you ever done anything special in the process of using a shared bike? ”

"Not really...... I'll just ride normally. What special things can I do? ”

"If that's the case, let's go in and out with you for a few days as planned, and see if we can catch it."

"Hmm."

On October 2, 2014, the client was tracked. No anomalies.

On October 3, 2014, the client was tracked. No anomalies.

On October 4, 2014, the client was followed. No anomalies.

On October 4, 2014, I received a call from the client. 3。

"Hello, Mr. Zhang."

"Whew...... Whew......"

"Zhang—"

Jingle bells! Jingle bells!

"That car is with you? Where are you now? ”

“…… Huh...... I...... Call...... I'm ...... now."

Da, da, da......

"Son, what are you doing so late?"

"I, I didn't ......"

"You should rest early, don't stay up late. You're going to work tomorrow, right? ”

"Hmm...... Mom, go to sleep. ”

Da, da, da......

"It'...... Gone...... Ran away ......"

"What just happened?"

"It's in my house...... It came into my house. I heard the sound, I heard the sound of the wheels, I woke up, and I saw...... The door was slammed open. And it came in. It almost came in...... I...... I ......"

"Please calm down, Mr. Zhang. Is it convenient for us to come over now? ”

"My parents don't know. They didn't know what was just ...... I...... They ......"

"Mr. Zhang, you may be in danger, and your parents are also ......"

"I ......"

Syllable.

"Ahh

"What's wrong, Mr. Zhang?"

"I don't know. It's the gate......"

"We'll come here now."

Jingle bells!

“……”

"That car is in your house again?"

“……”

"Mr. Zhang?"

“…… Call...... Call...... Ah......h

"Mr. Zhang? Can you hear me? ”

Jingle bells!

Squeak——!

Before yesterday, I had always thought that the winter solstice was related to ghosts.

My family told me since I was a child, don't come home late on the night of the winter solstice, go home early, and don't go out at night.

I learned yesterday that there is still such a thing as "happy winter solstice". It is also mixed with dumpling dumplings...... It's so weird. _(:3」∠)_

Today's Christmas Eve, I wish you peace~

This is more in line with my cognition ~o(* ̄▽ ̄*)o

It's a pity that there is no story for the occasion. ╮(￣▽￣“)╭
