高人姓陶，人人都叫她做三姑。其實，她只是一個道行很高年紀很大身栽很矮小樣貌醜陋的靈媒，陶三姑渾身濕透，雨水把她打得面青唇白，眼皮睜不開，雙腳差點不隱站立。

巍峨木壁之下，冰冷的鐵閘前，大屋的兩眼發著青光，張開它那利齒森森的血盤大口，似要吞噬面前這個矮細脆弱的陶三姑，要吞噬所有的生命，吞噬整個天地，整個的宇宙。

兩分鐘過後，陶三姑終於捱不住風吹雨打，她撑起她黃色的雨傘，要敵擋天地的邪氣。她意態祥和昂首站立，與面前目露凶光、鐵口獠牙的紫紅色大屋，正面對峙著。

雨水打在屋頂上，如雷鼓動轟轟價響，聽得人心寒。雨水打落雨傘上，沙沙聲響，像給她拍掌打氣，又似是為她告別餞行。

再兩分鐘過後，紫紅色的大屋看來變得更加紫紅。然後，天閃了一個電，再打一個雷，陶三姑垂下頭，雙眉深鎖嘴唇緊合，像是陷入了無盡虛空的混沌，不能自拔的沉思，雨水打遍她身上，仿如萬箭，透身穿心。

麥浚雄等十三人搬入這大屋的第一天，電力中斷了半分鐘，這半分鐘，十三個人彷彿都看見，水從木板裡不斷湧出，浸滿了一地，到處都是水。這麼荒唐的幻覺，當時沒有人敢相信，連六歲的 Charlene 和三歲的 Gillian，也不願意說出來。半分鐘後電力恢復，眼前一切正常，大家於是在心裡肯定，那只是個忽集體的然幻覺，個人的想象。

良久，三姑抬起頭，樣貌好像一下子老了很多。她向張欣桐招手，示意她過來，對她說：「這屋怨氣很重，千萬小心。」 兩人進入屋內，一陣寒氣襲來，陰森剌骨，四周潮潮濕濕，令人好不舒服。
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP88eX7Wg42
『屋裡沒有人，為何著了燈，難道昨天浚雄離開的時候，忘記了關燈？ 』 二人走到客廳的中央，並肩站著，三姑閉目斂神，似在感應周遭旋廻流動的大氣，又似在對抗在四面游移的風雲。

孩子的房間傳出很嘈雜的聲音，爺爺推開房門，看見房內滿地是水。他還看見，在水面之上，除了他的兩個孫女之外，還有很多的小孩和她們一起在玩水槍，她們向他射水他們向他開槍，大戰連場。爺爺再看清楚，水，並不是由水槍的槍口噴出，他們手上並沒有水槍，那些水，是由他們手指的指頭射出。爺爺好像在看武俠電影一樣，見那些小孩子們，走著凌波微步，打出六脈神劍，祭起龜波氣功，人人劍來劍往，個個玩得很是快樂。

爺爺再看清楚，水面之上的小孩似虛不實，都是半透明，好像是用水做似的，在水面上忽來忽去，在空氣中半浮半沉。爺爺大驚，正要開口叫兩個孫女離開。突然，半透明的小孩都向他望過來，他們有男有女，血絲滿佈的眼珠通透沒有眼白，好像血要從眼框裡面溢出來，奶白色的瞳孔夾雜一些薰黄，最嚇人的是，他們竟然裂咀大笑，向爺爺招手，叫他過來一起玩吧。老人家受不了刺激，血湧上頭，心臟病發。

「為什麼爺爺不喜歡和你們一起玩？明明大家都喜歡他，是不是我們沒有一早叫他進來玩，氣得他躺在地上睡覺？」三歲的 Gillian 問六歲的 Charlene，她們眼裡看到空氣中半透明的哥哥姊姊們，都是蹦蹦跳跳，活潑愉快的，和一般的小孩子沒有兩樣。

張欣桐抬頭望向二樓，見一個死人躺在地上，嚇得站著發抖的她，心驚肉跳。那個死人是我，光禿的頭前額穿了個洞，血水經已流乾，她很想離開，可是雙腳像被釘緊在地板上，一動也不能。

陶三姑仍然垂下頭，雙眉深鎖嘴唇緊合，毫不在意，若無其事。

突然，她聽到有流水的聲音， 涓涓汩汩，淙淙 潺潺 ，眼前的景象，看得她目瞪口呆，神經緊張。
四周都湧出了水，地板、牆身、天花、窗台、傢俬、電器，甚至電燈泡裡，都湧出水來，滔滔不斷，凶湧奔騰，直向兩人猛衝過來。張欣桐心胆俱破，血液流轉，正要轉身逃走，一隻乾枯暗黄的小手，緊緊的捉著她肩膊。

張欣桐到病院找到Mary M，向她詢問兒子Juno 遇害的情況，無論多荒謬，都要詳細說出來。

「That day, after came home from school, Juno shouted to go swimming, so I accompanied her to play in the pool, Although Gillian's swimming was good, I still kept my eyes on her, and haven't left in half a second. (那天，Juno 放學回家後，嚷著要去游水，於是我陪她到泳池玩，雖然Juno 的泳術已經很好，我的眼睛仍然一直注視著他，沒有離開過半秒。)」

「Many times before, Juno swam alone. Every time he had a great time. Sometimes he talked to herself, sometimes he shouted loudly, as if there were friends playing with him, I don’t understand Chinese, so I didn’t know what he’s talking about, he was completely immersed in his own happy world, at first I felt strange, but this time no more surprise. However, this time was terrible, Juno only swam for not more than three minutes, his body suddenly sink quickly, I thought he was cramping, then I immediately jumped into the pool to save him. (之前很多次，Juno 都是一個人游水的，每次她都玩得很開心，有時她自言自語，有時又高聲大叫，好像有朋友和她一起玩似的，我聽不懂中文，不知她在說些什麼，她完全就是沉醉在自已的歡樂世界之中，起初我都覺得奇怪，但次次都是如此，Juno 又玩得開心，習慣了，我也就見怪不怪。可是，這次不得了，Juno 只游了三分多鐘，身體突然快速的向下沉去，我以為她抽筋，立刻便跳進池裡去救她。)」

「When I jumped down to the bottom of the pool, I saw a sence that I couldn’t believe even until now, there were many children holding Juno in the water, and pulling him to sink to the bottom of the pool. I was so terrified, and I was desperate to push Juno to the surface, however, the more I pulled, the more Juno was pushed down, I didn't know where my guts came from, I looked at them. (我一落池底，竟然見到一個我至今也不敢相信但不能不信的情況，有很多個小孩子在水裡拉著Juno，拉著她沉下池底。我嚇得魂飛魄散，但也死命的要把Juno 推上水面，可我越是推，Juno 就越是被往下壓，不知從那裡來的膽量，我竟然向她們望去。)」

「There were too many of them to be counted. It seemed that they were everywhere in the pool. I saw clearly that they have pale skin, it's transparent and terribly white, and change shapes from time to time, they were really terrified to death. They looked at me with a very gloomy face, dozens of boys suddenly opened their mouths and Rushing towards me fastly, I was so scare that I let go Juno from my hand, I ... woo ... woo ... I couldn’t save Juno, ... woo ... woo I’m so sorry mum. (他們的人數太多了，多到我數也數不清楚，好像泳池裡到處都是他們。我看得清楚，他們皮膚蒼白，白得可怕又有些透明，時隱時現，真的非常恐怖可怕，嚇死人了。他們也向我望來，面目十分陰森，十幾個男孩突然張開大口，飛似快的向我撲過來，嚇得我捉住Juno 的手放開了，我 … 嗚嗚 … … 嗚 … … 我救不了Juno，對不起 … 我救不了Juno … 真對不起…嗚嗚……嗚。)」
