"Hello, Mr. Zhang. You said you'd encountered something strange. Could you tell me exactly what happened?"
"Yeah. Lately, I've kept seeing this one bike. A shared bike, an orange QuickRide."
"You mean you've kept seeing the same QuickRide bike?"
"Yes, yes! The very same one! There's a small ad for a payday loan stuck on the crossbar. The basket's been scraped, too, and there's a corner where you can see the wire inside. I remember it really clearly. The ad is right over the 'Ride' in 'QuickRide.' I see that bike every time. That bike... it moves, too..."
"Could you be more specific?"
"It's parked by the roadside. I walk from one end to the other. At first, the handlebars are pointed at me, tilted like this. I walk past, then look back, and the handlebars are still pointed at me... I heard a sound! I heard a sound when the handlebars turned! That's why I looked back! The first couple of times, I didn't notice anything, but by the third or fourth time, I'd spotted that bike... That bike was watching me... I went out of my way to check on the weekend! I just kept hanging around the area. There were people out in broad daylight, and that bike didn't move. But all the other bikes got ridden away, and that one was left there. When I went back the next day, it had changed locations. It was following me..."
"When did you first notice something was wrong?"
"When... It must've been October...
