Midnight Anchorwoman - C28
Seeing that it was still early, I went back to the dorm first. The girl called An Xia was also there. When I pushed open the door and entered, she was standing in front of the table looking at herself in the mirror.
“You’re back.”
I smiled. “I didn’t disturb you last night, did I?”
“Last night? “No, I’ve always been dead asleep. According to my mom, I wouldn’t even know if I was carried out to sell.” An Xia laughed as she finished speaking.
I quickly walked forward, then turned around to look at the back. An Xia’s figure and body were really similar to the woman who looked at herself in the mirror painted by Su Lin. Maybe someone would ask, why are you so sure that it was just a painting?
Painting is different from writing novels. Just based on imagination alone, it is definitely not possible, there is a very strict ratio inside, and of course, there are certain differences in angle. When we were in university, we played a lot of role as models for Su Lin.
The lady on the painting was standing in front of a mirror, and only the edge of the mirror was exposed, because the mirror was hung on the wall, that person must be very tall. An Xia was around 1.7 metres, that’s why I had such a feeling.
“You like to look in the mirror?” I asked, intentionally or not.
“Yeah, all women like to look in the mirror.” After An Xia finished speaking, he started to pack up the items on the table. I kept my eyes on her back, because she had short hair, she couldn’t possibly be the person in the painting that was standing next to the cabinet.
“Oh yeah, when are the two people from your dorm coming back?”
“That’s hard to say, because we are all interns here. If we can’t get the company’s contract, then I will have to leave in a few days.” An Xia sighed, her situation was the same as when I first left, of course, my situation was not much better than hers, if the live broadcast studio didn’t have any income, I would have still packed my luggage and left.
The current companies are all interested in benefits, and don’t care about favors. The amount of benefits you can bring to the company will determine your position and salary, just like that woman called Weiwei, who is basically spoiled like a treasure. I just can’t understand why she would like that fat director.
“So you have pictures of them?”
“Yes.”
An Xia took out her phone, and I walked over. On the screen, four girls’ faces could be seen, Su Lin was standing at the middle position to the left, and An Xia was beside him. The other two girls were actually both had short hair.
“Is there anyone here with long hair? “Almost here.” I gestured with my hand, An Xia should be very familiar with the other dorms.
“Yes, it’s Wu Li, but I heard that she jumped off a building and died last night, why do you ask?”
“I’m fine.” I was a little messy at the time, and that long haired woman couldn’t possibly have been imagined by Su Lin out of thin air. Could it be that Wu Li, for some reason, felt that it wasn’t so?
“Oh right, how did you become a policewoman? Did you take the exam or go through the back door?” An Xia looked at me, and I was stunned for a moment. This question was indeed not easy to answer, I was already an imposter.
I smiled. “I was confused and got admitted.”
“Liar, when I was recruiting, I also signed up, but I didn’t even get the chance to get an interview.” After An Xia finished speaking, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh. I understood her heart very well, just like how I used to.
“That’s it. I was even envious of you. If you could stay here, your salary would be at least several hundred thousand yuan. By then, you would have everything.”
I decided to change the topic. I wasn’t the kind of person who was good at lying. If I were to continue questioning him, I would expose my true identity.
“I hope so, but no one seems willing to stay now.”
“Because of those two falls?”
An Xia nodded her head, “Yes, even though it doesn’t seem like anything on the surface, we are actually all especially afraid. Because the one who is in trouble is the person beside you, you wouldn’t understand that feeling.”
“I understand.”
Looking at the tears that flickered in An Xia’s eyes, at that instant, I thought of Su Lin once again.
This is the place where Su Lin had always lived during this period of time. The brushes on the table and the white paper that was scattered everywhere, I could even feel some of the things that had happened to Su Lin here.
“Xia Mo, you feel so good, like a big sister.” An Xia wiped the tears off her face and said.
“If you like, you can be my sister in the future.”
“Can I?”
“Of course.”
“Let’s go eat. I’ll treat you.”
The place to eat was on the 17th floor. As it was a work meal, it was very cheap, so Gao Ming and Zhang Yue came down together. When they saw me, they couldn’t help but put their brilliant hands behind them.
“Do you want me to buy a pig’s leg as compensation?”
Gao Ming quickly waved his hand, “No need, really no need.”
After eating, we returned to the 18th floor. An Xia had a project to take care of, so I could only lie there by myself and play on my phone, but right now, almost everyone was relying on this to pass the time. I felt a little bored instead, my WeChat group never lit up.
Around 10pm, I heard some noise coming from the corridor, so I got off my bed and walked out. An Xia kept on tapping her keyboard with her headphones.
“Xia Mo, can I go out and watch the show with you?”
When I pushed open the door, An Xia took off her earpiece and said, “Of course I can.”
“Alright.”
An Xia quickly stood up, and my eyes inadvertently fell on An Xia’s computer’s screen. The computer’s desktop was actually using the picture of the four people An Xia showed me.
Just as An Xia’s finger was pressing downwards, I vaguely saw that there was another person standing behind the four of them.
“Don’t move.”
I walked over, and when An Xia placed her hands on it, I squatted down. There were only four people in the photo, Su Lin, An Xia and the other two girls. I slowly moved the computer’s screen up and down, and that moment did not happen again.
It was very possible that it was due to the light that my eyes hallucinated. If it was just a normal shadow, it wouldn’t have caught my attention. At that moment, I clearly saw a long-haired woman standing behind the four of them.
As I stood there, my body couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. That long-haired woman could very likely be related to the things that happened here, including Su Lin’s death.
Unfortunately, Su Lin is already dead, and I have no way of knowing why she was able to see me. I realized that An Xia was looking at me with that strange expression in her eyes, and I must be exceptionally abnormal right now.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
“Let’s go out.”
“Alright.” An Xia closed the computer and when we were about to go out, she turned off the light. Just as the door closed, the computer flashed, and a black figure slowly appeared, standing between the table and the cabinet. His entire head was covered by black hair.
