C614 Shen Ruoxuan in Parallel World
As if a cold wind had blown the door open, Shen Yinbing had just turned around when the door to the living room opened behind her with an extremely soft creak.
Shen Yinbing turned her head to look at the door, and the blood in her body instantly turned cold.
It really had a soul?
After the door was opened, it stopped moving. If Shen Yinbing hadn't confirmed that the door was closed, she would have thought that it was like this a long time ago.
Staring at the crack, Shen Yinbing had forgotten to breathe. All she could hear was the violent thumping of her heart.
By this time, she had long since stopped complaining to her parents' souls. All she wanted to do was to turn around and run away from this creepy place. Even if it was her parents who did all of this, it was very possible.
But no matter how hard she tried, her feet felt like they were nailed to the ground, unable to move.
She wanted to shout, hoping to alarm the security guards of the villa complex. As long as she stood outside the door and shone her flashlight on them, she would be able to escape from her current suffocating fear and escape from the villa as fast as she could. Tomorrow, she would hire a professional demolition team and raze the villa to the ground!
However, even though her mouth was wide open, she couldn't make a sound.
The thick mist in the sky seemed to have dispersed, and the starlight shone on the ground, shining on the white steel windows. It seemed faintly discernible, but it didn't seem real at all.
It was absolutely unreal, or more accurately, it was a dream.
Otherwise, why would those two doors open slowly?
Moreover, there was a voice that Shen Yinbing was familiar with coming from the living room in the darkness.
"Xiaobing, Xiaobing, Xiaobing …"
Fear, like the summer after dark, slowly diluted in every nerve of Shen Yinbing, numbing her, making her forget her fear. Her blood started flowing again, her mouth closed, her stiff feet spread out, and she walked up the steps step by step.
The door continued to slowly open, as if someone was opening from behind. However, it was clearly dark inside and there was nothing inside.
"Xiaobing."
The voice became clearer and clearer, coming from the sofa under the south wall of the living room that Shen Yinbing was familiar with.
It was Su Beishan's voice. It was old, but it was filled with a deep love.
"Xiaobing."
A female voice rang out.
Shen Ruoxuan.
Shen Ruoxuan had died when Shen Yinbing was six years old.
A six year old child was already capable of remembering his mother's voice and smile. Thus, when Shen Yinbing heard this female voice, she was already certain that it was her mother, Shen Ruoxuan.
How many years had it been since Shen Yinbing had thought of her mother's voice on the day she died? Yet, she had always been crying.
Tears rolled down the corners of Shen Yinbing's eyes and fell on her face. She could no longer see anything in front of her, including the darkness, but she could hear her mother's gentle voice. "Xiaobing, my child."
Snorting lightly, Shen Yinbing wiped her tears away with her hand. When she raised her head again, she saw a red dot in the corner of her eye.
She subconsciously turned her head to the side and saw that the moon had already risen in the eastern sky.
Red Moon.
A red moon, like a lantern, more like a round eye, just like a strange hanging in the east sky.
Shen Yinbing raised her head and looked at the rarely seen Red Moon. Suddenly, she thought of the night her mother passed away, and the same round Red Moon hung in the sky.
"Xiaobing, my child."
His mother's voice once again sounded from the living room.
Shen Yinbing turned her face to the side and lifted her right foot slowly, walking into the living room.
At this moment, she felt that she was very clear-headed, as if she had never been clear-headed before, yet she was not afraid, as if she had already experienced this countless of times. Even though she had entered the living room, the two doors slowly closed, cutting off the starlight and Red Moon outside.
Shen Yinbing tried to keep her eyes open as she looked at the sofa under the south wall.
After the door was closed, it was pitch black in the room. Shen Yinbing couldn't see anything, but she could feel that there was someone, or perhaps a soul, in that position.
After the door closed, the voice that called out to her in a soft voice did not ring again. It was as if the voice her parents used to call her by name was just an illusion.
Shen Yinbing didn't believe it was an illusion. She was sure she heard her parents' voices.
But why did they stop talking?
Shen Yinbing took a deep breath slowly and took out her cell phone.
Right now, the phones were all large, intelligent screens. The light emitted by the screens could be used as phones in the dark.
In the darkness, Shen Yinbing raised her phone and pressed the start button with her right index finger.
As expected, the phone screen lit up.
Then, Shen Yinbing saw three people.
Two sat on the sofa and one stood beside the sofa.
The person who stood there was Tong Hai, who wore a black Tang suit. His hair was white and he had a benevolent smile on his face.
Su Beishan, who was sitting on the left side of the sofa, wore a proper Chinese tunic and black leather shoes. He was also smiling faintly, just like how he had seen Shen Yinbing every time she came home.
Sitting on the right was a woman in her forties with her hair tied behind her head. She wore a red short-sleeved qipao and red high heels.
The woman was very beautiful, even more beautiful than Shen Yinbing. The silver teeth she revealed when she smiled was neat and shiny white under the light of the cell phone's screen.
When Shen Yinbing saw the woman, her gaze stopped moving.
She didn't dare move.
She was afraid that if she blinked for even a moment, this woman would disappear.
This was her mother, Shen Ruoxuan.
Shen Yinbing dreamed of her mother countless times.
Most of the times I dreamed of my mother, it was the night she died.
So many years had passed, but Shen Yinbing still remembered it clearly.
According to local customs, the dead had to stop for three days after death, and lie in their living room, with their heads against the door. In front of their pillows, they had to place two porcelain bowls, one with a large, outrageous steamed bun (commonly known as a steamed bun, it was a family of steamed buns, but only round), while the other bowl contained cooked rice (the rice had to be high in the bowl, with a chopstick diagonally inserted in the middle).
Shen Ruoxuan was lying on the coffin, wearing a red short-sleeved qipao and a pair of bright red high-heeled shoes. She was lying there quietly, unmoving, but with a breathtaking beauty.
Tonight at this time, Shen Yinbing saw her mother once again, wearing the same clothes she had worn during the hibernation period.
Only, she was ten years older than when she died.0
Could it be that the people of the underworld would also age?
Shen Yinbing didn't understand. She just stared at the person who should have called her mother in a daze.
Shen Ruoxuan slowly extended her right hand and whispered, "Xiaobing, my child, come here."
Shen Yinbing obediently or mechanically moved her feet and walked over.
When she was about two to three meters away from the sofa, Tong Hai moved a chair over and said, "Xiaobing, sit here. Mom has been away from you for many years. Don't get too close to being angry."
With a move of her right hand, Shen Yinbing pointed the phone's screen at Tong Hai.
Tong Hai was still the Tong Hai that Shen Yinbing was familiar with. Even the old spot on his left cheek was the same.
Shen Yinbing nodded and slowly sat down. "Hai Bo, are you ghosts?"
Perhaps it was because she was too shocked, or perhaps it was because she hadn't said anything tonight, but when she said those words, Shen Yinbing clearly felt that she spoke very slowly and softly, as if she didn't say it herself.
"You can think that we are ghosts, but we think that we are humans."
Hai Bo slowly stepped back with a smile and explained, "Xiaobing, you should have learned the word 'Parallel Space' in school, right?"
Of course, Shen Yinbing knew what 'Parallel World' is, and she also understood what Hai Bo meant at this moment: "You mean, you guys are not ghosts, but from another world? Is it because you're worried about me that you've come to see me? "
Hai Bo quietly retreated back to his original position and said in a deep voice: "You can think like this, but you can also think like we are ghosts because even we don't know which world is ours."
Shen Yinbing asked again, "Then why did you come to find me tonight? Are you bringing me away?"
Shen Ruoxuan began to speak. "Xiaobing, everyone has the right to choose his way of life. As for which world you want to stay in, that will depend on you."
Shen Yinbing looked at her mother's shining teeth and muttered, "But … But I want to be with you guys forever."
"Hai."
Shen Ruoxuan sighed and said, "Then come with us." Mother promises that when you come with us to that place, we will never let you suffer even the slightest bit. We will love you even more. "
The cell phone in Shen Yinbing's hand went black.
She sat in the dark, looking at her parents. "Are you going to take me now?"
Su Beishan said, "We can leave at any time, but I want someone to go with you."
