MTL - The System is Four Years Ahead of Schedule, But Weird is Still a Cub

Chapter 10 Hair under the sink

 Twenty minutes ago.

When Cheng Shengnan walked out of the office, Xiao He at the front desk was already waiting expectantly. I don't know when he started to be "touched" by this little girl who had just graduated from university and came to the company. He had to drop by her every day. Delivered to the subway entrance.

But Cheng Shengnan didn't care either. On the one hand, he was along for the ride, and on the other hand, the little girl was very lively. She chirped like an oriole every day. She also shared some positive things, and she was usually the one helping out when the secretary was not around.

“Wait a moment, I’m going to the bathroom.” Cheng Shengnan said.

"I'll go too." Xiao He followed and started chatting to Cheng Shengnan about the movie she had watched recently, chattering non-stop.

As we talked, we talked about the smell in the toilet in the morning.

“Mr. Cheng, there was a peculiar smell in the bathroom this morning. The maintenance man and I searched for it for a long time but couldn’t find the source. Oh, and Brother Shen, he also came to see it.”

 “Shen Ge?”

“Well, he said he was wondering if it was a dead rat or something else.”

 “Have you finally found it?”

"No. And...I discovered a very strange phenomenon. All the people in the company who smell the stench are women, and none of the men seem to be able to smell it."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Cheng Shengnan had been immersed in work all day, and the smell in the bathroom was not so strong after noon, so she did not pay attention to this matter.

When Xiao He walked into the cubicle, he was still talking about this matter with Cheng Shengnan, telling her her guesses and opinions until the two of them walked to the sink.

As soon as she walked to the sink, Xiao He felt a chill, but she was still focusing on sharing her supernatural conjecture about the "odd smell" with Cheng Shengnan.

 Suddenly, Xiao He's body stiffened, and she felt that the surrounding air had dropped a few degrees. At the same time, she felt a faint chill at her ankles, as if a cold finger had touched her calf.

Xiao He froze. She wanted to scream, but found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound.

At this time, Cheng Shengnan was lowering his head and reaching out to turn the pool switch. He didn't notice anything strange about her. Xiao He was extremely scared.

 “Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng!”

Xiao He was so anxious that he kept calling Cheng Shengnan in his heart, praying for her to take a look at him.

Xiao He couldn't see what was under the sink, but the cold touch already made her hair stand on end. Except for her eyes, her whole body seemed to be frozen.

Xiao He couldn't move her body, tears dripped down her cheeks and fell to the ground. She could only place all her hopes on Cheng Shengnan.

Xiao He suddenly lost his voice. Cheng Shengnan was a little surprised at first. He turned his head and found that Xiao He, who was standing next to him just now, was gone!

 “Xiao He?”

 “Xiao He?”

 Cheng Shengnan called out twice, and Xiao He was surprised to find that Cheng Shengnan seemed to be unable to see himself and looked directly through her towards the door.

At first, Xiao He thought that Cheng Shengnan was joking, or because he was afraid, he wanted to trick the dirty things under the sink into escaping by "invisible". However, she found that Cheng Shengnan looked around in the bathroom with a strange look on her face. She even opened the cubicle doors one by one, calling her name and looking around.

“Xiao He, stop joking, come out quickly, we are leaving.” Cheng Shengnan shouted.

If Cheng Shengnan also saw the dirty things and deliberately "unseen" her and wanted to escape with his life, then he could just go out.

“Mr. Cheng really can’t see himself?”

 What’s bad, what’s bad!

 A ghost beating a wall?

 It must be a ghost beating the wall!     I'm in trouble!

 Xiao He could do nothing but shed tears now, and the coldness on her ankles became more and more obvious, as if her feet were bound together.

At this moment, Cheng Shengnan's expression became more and more uncomfortable, and finally he ran out of the bathroom in a panic. When Xiao He saw Cheng Shengnan leaving, he felt only despair in his heart!

Cheng Shengnan thought at first that Xiao He was joking with her, but then she thought that she and Xiao He came out of the cubicle and walked to the sink together.

 It takes three to five seconds to get from the sink to the door, not to mention that the bathroom door is an automatic rebound door. Unless you slow down very carefully, there will definitely be a sound when the door rebounds. It takes three to five seconds just to walk out, let alone slow down the closing speed.

 She lowered her head and turned on the faucet for only two seconds. It was impossible for a living person to suddenly disappear. Cheng Shengnan suddenly realized that something was wrong.

When Cheng Shengnan thought of leaving the office, Shen Ge and several male staff members had not left yet, so he hurried to the office area and happened to meet Shen Ge who was about to leave.

 “Shen Ge! Something happened!”

"What's wrong?"

 While Cheng Shengnan told Shen Ge what happened between she and Xiao He from entering the bathroom to when Xiao He disappeared, she took out her mobile phone and called the police.

When the police heard Cheng Shengnan say that a living person suddenly disappeared, they didn't believe it at first. However, Cheng Shengnan was too serious and reported his information and ID number. His mind was clear and organized, and it didn't look like he was filing a false report. According to the appearance of the case, he said he would contact the film police to take a look.

As soon as Cheng Shengnan hung up the phone, she heard Xiao He's scream from the bathroom, and immediately rushed to the bathroom: "Xiao He!"

 “Xiao He! Xiao He?” Cheng Shengnan pushed open the bathroom door and looked in one room after another, but did not see anyone from Xiao He.

“Mr. Cheng, where were you standing just now when you noticed that Xiao He was missing?” Shen Ge asked while standing at the door.

Cheng Shengnan stood in front of the sink and pointed to the place next to him: "Just now, Xiao He and I were just one body apart. I was standing here and Xiao He was standing there. I lowered my head and turned on the water. When I looked up, I saw Xiao He. Gone.”

 “Is there still a rancid smell?” Shen Ge suddenly asked.

 Cheng Shengnan nodded: "Yes, it's much lighter than in the morning."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shengnan suddenly felt a black thing flashing under the sink. He subconsciously looked down and his whole body froze.

It was a thick, hair-like substance that slowly flowed toward his ankles. The moment it touched his ankles, a chill spread throughout his body.

 Cheng Shengnan was horrified to find that he couldn't move. He wanted to scream, but no sound came out of his throat. What's even more terrifying is that the moment her feet were tangled in hair, a person suddenly appeared in front of her, it was Xiao He who had disappeared before!

Cheng Shengnan couldn't move her body, so she could only try to raise her eyes and meet the frightened eyes of Xiao He, whose face was full of tears.

At this moment, Cheng Shengnan finally understood that Xiao He had not "disappeared". After her feet were entangled in her hair, she had been standing there, but no one else could see her!

"Mr. Cheng? Mr. Cheng? Xiao He? Are you still in the toilet?" Shen Ge called out their names. Apparently he couldn't see the person whose hair was entangled.

 Cheng Shengnan wanted to respond to Shen Ge's call, but he couldn't make a sound at all.

Hairs of hair slowly stretched out from under the sink and entangled her and Xiao He's feet. Her ankle was completely entangled, and Xiao He's calf had already been entangled with several coils of hair.

Cheng Shengnan, who had always been calm, felt the coolness coming from his feet at this moment, and his heart was filled with fear. However, the next moment, Shen Ge exited the bathroom directly, leaving only the two women -

 Despair!
