From a distance,the funeral parlor was very quiet.It was not only a bit quiet but also rather dilapidated.Hardly any of the glass was intact.There was overgrown grass everywhere,and some of it had even climbed up the eaves and window sills.
I stopped my motorcycle not far from the funeral parlor.The roar of the motorcycle actually caused the crows perched on the funeral parlor to cry out one after another and fly into the air.
This scene was really quite terrifying and made me feel rather flustered.
I didn't rush into the funeral parlor but took out my phone and dialed the number on the food delivery order again.
Beep beep beep...
The familiar sound rang out again,but after waiting for a long time,all I heard was the busy signal,which made me rather helpless.
Could it be that this was really just someone's prank?
I took the food and came to the front door of the abandoned funeral parlor.Although I was extremely reluctant in my heart,I couldn't give up halfway now,could I?I couldn't chicken out at this crucial moment.
I stood in front of the abandoned funeral parlor,took a deep breath,and reached out to knock on the door.
Dong dong dong.
A dull sound rang out in front of me.I felt a bit flustered,but I still summoned up the courage to say,"Hello,your food delivery has arrived."
It was completely silent inside the funeral parlor,with only the sound of the wind and the eerie cries of the crows around.
For a moment,I was torn.Should I go in or not?
I could have just left the food and run away,but for some unknown reason at that time,my mind seemed to be missing a string,and I actually pushed the door open and walked in.
Creak~
The door of the funeral parlor opened with a sound,and my scalp tingled.The dimly lit interior of the funeral parlor came into view.
The funeral parlor,which hadn't been visited by anyone for I don't know how long,was full of dust.When I pushed the door,the wind blew into the funeral parlor,raising clouds of dust.
I coughed twice due to the choking dust and couldn't help but wonder in my heart:Could there really be someone in this place in the middle of the night who ordered a food delivery?
It seemed highly likely that this was someone else's prank.
However,just as I was about to put down the food and turn to leave,a loud bang suddenly came from inside the funeral parlor,as if something had fallen to the ground.
Could there really be someone in this funeral parlor?
I was once again filled with doubt,so I stopped and shouted,"Meituan food delivery.Your food has arrived.Are you there?"
Only my voice echoed inside the funeral parlor,and there was no response from anyone else.
After hesitating at the door for a while,I still summoned up the courage to walk into the funeral parlor.
Looking back on my actions at that time,I really think I was a fool back then.I could have just put the food down,so why did I have to go in?
Da da da.
My footsteps echoed in the dimly lit corridor of the funeral parlor.On both sides of the corridor were mourning halls.Suddenly,my foot bumped into something,making a clattering sound,which scared me so much that I took several steps back.When I looked down,I found it was a white wreath used for burning paper for the dead.
Being extremely scared,I took out my phone and dialed the number of the person who ordered the food again.
On the other end of the phone,there was still the familiar beeping sound.However,I heard the vibration of a phone inside the funeral parlor.
The person who ordered the food was actually inside the funeral parlor!
But since the person was here,why didn't they answer the phone?And when I called out to them just now,they should have been able to hear me.So why didn't they respond?
