At four-fifteen the next afternoon, I stood on the edge of the basketball court.
Zhou Ye said that the sound repeated all night - at 4:17, the ball bounced three times and I was knocked away. I originally planned not to go out, but at noon I received a strange text message: If I don't go, I will die.
At exactly 4:17, a three-point ball missed and flew towards the sidelines. At the same time, a van rushed down the ramp. The ball bounced for the first time, and the front of the car was ten meters away from me. Play the second time, five meters. The moment it bounced for the third time, a note was attached to the ball: Get out of the way.
I threw myself to the left. The van hit the guardrail with its back, and the glass shattered all over the floor. The ball bounced a fourth time.
Zhou Ye came back at night, his face pale: the voice had changed. It said - Lin Zhao avoided it, it was not fun. It knows your name.
The phone lights up, and another message comes from an unknown number: See you tomorrow.
