Jerry knelt on the sofa, peeking out of the living room window at the car.

Sean kept asking “Who the hell is Laird?” Jerry had to tell the story of his stepbrother being

sent away again. He never told his friends that he had a brother, after all, his parents wouldn’t take the initiative to mention Laird to anyone.

After listening, Sean looked at him with strange eyes, and said that everyone in his family was strange.

Jerry asked him what he meant, and Sean said, “It’s already obvious that your family completely ignored him and that’s why he’s what he is now.”

“What is he now?”

“Just…you saw it just now, that’s all. Wearing black clothes and strange accessories. If

someone like him knocks on my door, I will definitely call the police.”

Jerry had long been a little bit embarrassed by his stepbrother, but luckily Laird wasn’t in

Squirrel Town, and others didn’t know he was from the Cates family.

Laird used to only come back once a year on Christmas Eve, and only then Jerry and Cates had seen his eccentric dress and accessories, but now it’s better, not only Sean has seen him, but he will even appear on future TV shows ..

 

Jerry explained to his friend, “Actually, Laird is not the kind of person you think he is, he is really a medium, studying ghosts or something.”

“You believe this?” Sean shook his head.

“I don’t want to believe it, but I’ve been through really weird things,” Jerry muttered, “you’re weird too, you say you’re sure you saw the door, but you’re skeptical…then What the hell do you think you saw? Alien abduction? Seriously, even aliens are kind of supernatural.”

“How dare you mention it! You saw it as I did, but you changed your confession for the sake of face. You told the police…”

Jerry hurried away from Sean, now that there were no adults in the house to protect

him.

“Okay, okay, can we put this on hold for now?” He shrank to the corner of the sofa, “It’s all my

fault, I’m timid and cowardly… But the point is not how I should reflect, but to find out the truth!”

Sean glanced out the window: “How to check? By your brother or by “Deep Quest”?”

“Of course it’s “Deep Quest”,” Jerry stroked the show’s logo on his T-shirt. “They have

professional equipment, and they can also invite real psychics, and even visit the Vatican staff. You also Remember the tenth season of the show? They investigated a witchcraft sacrifice murder case in the 1970s. They communicated with the soul through Vegapan, and looked for clues from the results of the communication. They found that things in the 1970s turned out to be the same as the

contemporary ones. A serial murder case was involved, and the police intervened halfway through the show, but their interviews and investigations continued…”

“Shh!” Suddenly, Sean made a gesture, interrupting Jerry’s glowing recollection.

“What?” Jerry lowered his voice cooperatively.

“I think I heard something…”

 

The two remained silent for a few seconds. Jerry heard nothing.

“What did you hear?” he asked.

Sean looked around in confusion: “I heard something running just now… You don’t have a dog at home, do you?”

“Is it the dog outside?”

“Then why can’t you hear?”

The two listened carefully for a while, but still nothing.

Jerry asked, “Where did the voice you say come from?”

Sean stood up, walked to the stairs, and pointed to the storage room under the stairs: “It seems that he ran along the wall and ran into it.”

Jerry’s back shivered, and his hair stood up.

He did tell Sean why his stepbrother was sent away, but he kept it brief and didn’t mention the puppy running into the storage room.

Sean wanted to open the door of the storage room and have a look. Jerry quickly grabbed his arm: “No no no, don’t open it! We can’t act rashly…”

“What?” Sean didn’t understand why he reacted so violently.

“It could be dangerous…”

“Maybe it’s just the neighbor’s cat, or a raccoon, a big mouse…”

“No,” Jerry firmly dragged Sean back, “could be that door too.”

 

Just when Sean looked at him suspiciously, there was a thud in the direction of the storage

room, as if something moved on the shelf and hit the wall behind.

Both heard it this time.

They looked at each other, turned and trotted off the stairs together, opened the door, and ran towards Levi Karadzer’s car.

Levi was talking with Laird about the things happened more than ten years ago when he suddenly saw two children running out screaming.

Before they were about to slap his windows, he hurriedly got out of the car.

Jerry shouted “the door is here again”, Sean then said “maybe not”, the two were arguing on their lips, but their hands were quite tacitly pulling Levi from left to right, and moved him to the side.

The house that pulls.

Hearing this, Laird also got out of the car and entered the door before the three of them,

looking excited.

Levi felt a little strange. Laird was terrified by the abnormality when he was a child, and now he heard that the “door” may have appeared again, but he wanted to find out in such a hurry… Is it because he has been researching paranormal phenomena all the year round, so he is no longer afraid of the” door”? But when he talked about old things just now, he clearly showed a nervous look…

After entering the house, Levi managed to get rid of the two young men’s left and right holding, and Laird had already walked down the stairs and opened the door of the storage room.

In the storage room, everything is as usual, and there is no “door”.

Even though Sean misheard the “dog” sound, the crash was heard by both Sean and Jerry. The sound was obvious, it was an object with a certain weight hitting the wall, not the sound of something falling to the ground. And nothing in the storage room fell on the floor.

Laird closed the door of the storage room and looked at Jerry: “Jerry, don’t be afraid, even if the ‘door’ does appear, you will be fine if you ignore it.”

“Really?” Jerry had pulled back on the sofa again.

“Really. You recall the day of the accident, your two classmates walked in on their own

initiative, right? Besides them, there are many people in the room, and the others have never

approached the ‘door’, so there was no accident. .”

Jerry breathed a sigh of relief: “But… inside that door…something ran out…”

“Maybe so.”

“what!”

“You’ll be fine if you don’t go near that ‘door’,” Laird said firmly.

Jerry clutched the sofa cushion nervously. “Wait, Laird…how do you know? How do you know what’s going to come out of the ‘door’?”

“I’m a psychic and occult researcher,” Laird squatted on the living room carpet, opened the

silver suitcase he brought, and rummaged in it, “You also know that terrible things happened to me when I was a child, So, I’ve been working on that since then.”

“Do you know what the ‘door’ is about?”

“I don’t know, but maybe I know more than you.”

Laird took a few things out of the box and looked at Levi’s backpack on the sofa. Levi’s

backpack was much bigger than Laird’s suitcase, like a survival one, and he hadn’t opened it since entering the house.

Laird asked, “Dear, do you have an electromagnetic detector?”

“No. Don’t call me that,” Levi said. “Electromagnetic detectors won’t work here.”

Laird said: “Looking for the ‘door’ certainly it won’t work, but it can detect abnormal fluctuations, so you can infer whether the ‘door’ has appeared briefly. In most cases, the ‘door’ will not be open all the time, maybe just for a moment.”

“How many times have you seen the door?” Levi asked. He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

“Just twice.”

“The first time was when you were ten?”

“That was the second time.”

“So, when did you first saw the ‘door’…”

Before Levi finished speaking, Laird waved his hand: “I’ll tell you more about it later. There’s not much time today, so I have to quickly verify if it was a real ‘door’ just now.”

After he finished speaking, he took out a pair of sponge earplugs, his eyes wandered around

the three people in the room, and finally stopped on Sean.

“You look strong…” Laird stared at Sean.

Sean looked bewildered. Jerry next to him said: “He is on the basketball team, and he is still studying outside to learn free combat.”

Laird nodded. “That’s great. What’s your name… Sean? Okay, Sean, I want to ask you to do something, maybe a little weird, but I hope you’ll agree.”

 

Sean was staring at him uncomfortably: “That depends on how strange it is…”

“Wait a minute, I’ll put on earplugs and close my eyes,” Laird sat down, took off his glasses, and placed them carefully on the coffee table. “Then, I want you to punch me.”

“What?” Jerry and Sean said in unison.

“I’m a psychic,” Laird said earnestly. “I’m not a masochist, it’s for psychics. I need to be

confused without being completely unconscious, in short, a state of absent-mindedness in pain.

The vertigo will take away some of my normal senses, and the pain will maintain my sanity.

Actually, it wasn’t always hitting… I have also tried drugs instead, but it doesn’t work well and it’s not safe.”

The two young men were stunned. Levi couldn’t stand it anymore and asked, “What kind of trick are you doing?”

“In the trance state, I can perceive a lot of things that I wouldn’t normally perceive,” Laird said.

“This is a method I learned as a child, when I was in a mental hospital.”

“You mean that because someone in the hospital beat you up, you learned a kind of spiritism instead?”

“We’ll talk about these things later, we can’t waste time,” Laird said, putting on earplugs. “The information left by the ‘door’ will become weaker and weaker.”

The earplugs were pinched and swelled up, completely isolating him from other people’s

voices.

He hooked his fingers at Sean, turned his face and pointed to the vicinity of his cheekbones.

 

Sean looked at Jerry helplessly: “What should I do?”

“How do I know? I’ve never hit anyone!”

“Did I hit you?”

“You beat me when you were a kid! It was when you were in the kindergarten… You are still practicing kickboxing. You should be very good at this kind of thing.”

“That’s different! Besides, this person is your brother!”

The two chatted for a long time, but didn’t do anything. Levi sighed, rubbed his brows, stood up, and walked to Laird.

“I’ll do it…” He looked down at Laird condescendingly.

Laird put on earplugs and closed his eyes, not knowing who was in front of him.

Levi made a half-empty fist and slammed into Laird’s upper abdomen. Laird choked and

screamed, but he couldn’t make much noise, and when he slipped sideways, Levi hugged him from the side to keep him from falling to the ground.

Due to a conditioned reflex, Laird opened his eyes for a while, and Levi put one arm around his body and covered his eyes with the other.

Heard he needs to lose some of his normal senses… Then maybe it’s better to cover his eyes.

The two young men looked dumbfounded.

Jerry asked in a daze: “Uh…Mr. Karadzer…why…didn’t you slap him in the face…”

Levi said: “If I hit the head, I might not be able to get the strength and it would be easy to

get into trouble.”

“Then he…now…is he all right…”

 

“People have nerve plexuses in their abdomens, which are very fragile. But don’t worry, I paid attention to the severity of the attack. Now he must be very uncomfortable and confused, but he will not completely faint.”

After speaking, Levi thought for a while, and then added: “You must not copy me , I did it when I was sure.”
