The trace was located at the bottom of the nameplate, and a crooked line was drawn on one of the lines of characters.

He Qing recalled the metal scratches I heard last night.

She was stunned on the spot. When she came to her senses, she had goose bumps on her body and shivered.

He Qing left with her head and didn't dare to look at the scaffolding. She didn't let go of her clenched teeth until she got on the bus and arrived at the company, and was blowing the air conditioner.

In the evening, He Qing made an appointment with her best friend to have dinner together.

"... There is really a mark! It's so long!" He Qing gestured excitedly.

"No way. Did it happen before?" My best friend looked surprised.

He Qing couldn't answer this question. She had never observed the nameplate before.

"Then don't leave there in the future." My best friend advised He Qing.

"Well, I will definitely not leave." He Qing nodded vigorously.

Apart from this, they could not think of any other way. After all, He Qing was not actually hurt. It is impossible to determine what the sound she heard.

When he returned home, he passed by the gold shop in the mall and had a flash of inspiration in He Qing's mind.

"Otherwise, I'll buy some gold. Isn't it a saying that gold can ward off evil spirits?"

"You might as well buy a jade pendant directly. Many of the jade pendants belong to Buddha and Guanyin." said the best friend.

"Buy it all." He Qing gritted her teeth and decided to bleed heavily today.

The two of them said this before entering the store, and after shopping, their thinking gradually changed.

He Qing and her best friend bought a gold bracelet, which was strung with various exquisite small gold jewelry. He Qing's one was strung with olive branches and doves of peace; the one of her best friend was daisies and bees.

When buying the jade pendant, He Qing reluctantly gave up a cute rabbit carving jade pendant and chose a kind-hearted Bodhisattva. Her best friend smiled and hugged the rabbit she liked and put it in her bag.

"Be careful when you go back and don't go there!" My best friend and He Qing separated, and he didn't forget to remind him.

He Qing naturally didn't take that path.

Until the scaffolding was removed, a new wall was built in the place, and a community civilization propaganda board was hung. There was never any rumors, and He Qing never walked on that road again.

But at that time, He Qing was no longer afraid, she was just used to another route to work.

In mid-October, the weather has turned colder.

He Qing did not wear a jade pendant anymore, but the gold bracelet was worn by her from time to time and matched with clothes.

She went to work that day, and when she got off the bus at the station, she felt that her drooping hands were pulled. She immediately grabbed the wrist and grabbed the gold chain that almost fell off.

After getting off the car, He Qing took a rough look at the broken chain, stuffed it into her pocket, and rushed to the company to check in.

It was during lunch break that He Qing took out the chain from her pocket.

"What are you doing?" my colleague asked curiously.

"The chain is broken." He Qing raised the bracelet to show it to her colleagues.

"You can't help but fight this yourself, right?" The colleague looked at the broken corner of the gold chain carefully, "You'd better take it to the store to repair it. It's pretty. Owl?"

He Qing sighed, "It's a pigeon, a dove of peace."

"Such a fat dove of peace? Oh, this is an olive branch. I misread it just now." My colleague withdrew his gaze and returned the chain to He Qing. "There are several gold shops here in the past, do you know? It's very close."

"Yeah." He Qing responded listlessly.

I don’t know if it’s because of this, she feels a little restless all day long.

He Qing now remembered why she bought this chain. She still remembered that she told her colleagues about that experience as a ghost story during the company team building event last month. She was not afraid at all, but now she can't help but think about it.

When he got off work, He Qing took a detour to the Golden Shop.

It took some time to repair it. The chain I got again was not much different from the past, at least He Qing didn't see the difference.

He Qing had dinner nearby. When she walked to the bus stop, she saw the bus she wanted to take was parked in front of the platform. The car was jumping with double yellow lights, and the front and back doors were wide open. There were no passengers in the car, and the driver did not know where to go.

He Qing's eyelids twitched, her steps slowed down, and she unconsciously touched the golden chain with one hand.

She passed by the bus stop and looked at the bus license plate.

This is not the same route as the bus she took before, and the license plate number must be different.

Next to the license plate is a car number printed on paint.

He Qing didn't even take the terminal to and from get off work, and she didn't care about the bus number on weekdays. Last time she encountered something, she didn't even look at what number the broken car was, nor did she look at what number she was riding later, so naturally she couldn't tell whether the cars were the same number.

He Qing withdrew her gaze, did not stop, and walked to the intersection, wanting to take a taxi.

As soon as I took out the phone, the screen was dark. When the power button was pressed, the low battery prompt jumped.

He Qing's two eyelids jumped up.

Today, all the things made her extremely uneasy.

The memory was played repeatedly in her mind.

She was a little anxious and was sweating coldly. She stood stupidly at the intersection for a while, and remembered her best friend's address.

My best friend is currently living with her boyfriend, living in a new house and high-rise building. Most of the community are young. There is also a police station nearby. Standing on the balcony of the house and looking out, you can see a lively business district. There is a subway station platform at the intersection of the business district.

He Qing thought about the open space left by the demolition and made a decision.

She looked up and found the familiar subway station sign.

In the crowded subway car, He Qing relaxed a little.

She suddenly felt that she was making a big deal.

Just as she was hesitating, she felt her wrist relax.

The gold chain fell into He Qing's cuffs and stuck in her sleeves.

He Qing was shocked and hurriedly pulled out the chain.

The chain was broken again.

The location of the break this time is different from the previous one.

He Qing reached into her sleeve again and pinched out the fallen doves and olive branch jewelry.

She held these things tightly, feeling extremely nervous.

Her five senses became extremely sharp and she could hear the voices of people in the carriage. She also rolled her eyes and patrolled the passengers around her. Everything seemed normal. However, her violent heartbeat could not calm down. The chain in her hand seemed to have pierced into her palm, which made her tremble a little.

Soon, the subway arrived at the station.

He Qing walked out of the carriage with the crowd. When she took the escalator up, the chains and pendants in her hand were heated up by her. Her palms were covered in sweat.

He Qing found the community where her best friend lived and went straight to the building where she lived.

Press the door number on the anti-theft lock downstairs. He Qing was anxious when she listened to the doorbell music.

Suddenly she heard the footsteps behind her, and the sound of something dragging by the concrete floor.

"Who?"

"It's me! Open the door quickly!" He Qing shouted, tears coming out.

My best friend was stunned at the walkie-talkie, but immediately opened the door for her.

He Qing opened the heavy security door and ran into the building. Without waiting for the security door to close automatically, she grabbed the door handle and pulled the door up hard.

Through the railings of the security door, He Qing saw a man.

The man lowered his head, his hands drooped naturally, and his fingers hooked a tool that looked like a stick. The other end of the tool fell to the ground, and was dragged by him, leaving white marks on the concrete floor.
