Chapter 0631: High Energy Ahead
The wife, the middle-aged man, and the drunken man who had remained silent all looked to where the boy’s finger was pointing.
A slight strange sound came from the end of the dark corridor, and the doorknob of a certain room gently trembled, as if there was something locked in the house and he wanted to come out.
Inside the quiet to eerie residential building, the door lock shook by itself, which made the hearts of several people all lift up.
”I just saw the lead guy heading upstairs, there’s no way the room was a passenger.” The more the middle-aged man thought about it, the more scared he became, “I’ve been to Liwan, how can I put it? Sometimes you see things in this place that are hard to explain scientifically.”
”Such as?”
”You don’t want to know those examples, all we can do is avoid them.”
”And what if it’s impossible to avoid them?” The drunken man leaned his back against the wall, his eyes locked on the depths of the corridor.
”There’s no way to avoid them, so pretend you don’t see them, try to stay as normal as possible, and then tell yourself in your head that it’s all in your mind.” The middle-aged man’s face became even paler, he recalled certain bad memories, cold sweat surfaced on his forehead, his face looked poor to the extreme: “The Liwan I went to was not yet the same as the current one, there was no that red fog, there seems to have been a new turn of events here.”
”Don’t you scare me, doggone it, why do I feel someone blowing in my ear, it seems like there’s a woman’s voice!” The drunken man turned his head violently to look behind him, the “homicidal maniac” who called himself Scissors passed by the entrance of the building, every step he took rang out two feet, his expression was very strange, obviously a man’s face, but after looking at it for a long time, he felt that the five features belonged to a woman.
The man didn’t follow them into the building, but walked towards the front.
”Is he a man or not? Or a woman?” This strange feeling made the drunk instantly tense up, and he tapped the middle-aged man on the shoulder, “There was a man who went over just now.”
”There was?” When the middle-aged man looked back, the outside of the hallway was already covered by a blood mist and nothing could be seen, “Don’t mind him, let’s protect ourselves first.”
It was a moment of concentration, the sound of the door handle trembling in the depths of the corridor disappeared, and everything returned to calm.
The blood fog thickened a few points, the surroundings became more eerie, and the sound of wind blowing through the hollow could be vaguely heard, making people feel hairy inside.
”The guy inside the door gave up?” The drunken man held onto the stair railing as he guarded the entrance to the building, ready to run outside at any moment.
”Not necessarily, it’s also possible that the thing has run out of the house.” The middle-aged man bent down and took out a cell phone from his pocket, and the drunken man noticed that the cell phone the middle-aged man was using was still a model from several years ago.
He turned the cell phone screen to its brightest and held it up to his body, something seemed to be extra in the middle of the dark corridor, but he couldn’t tell what exactly was extra because it was too far away.
”How strange.” The middle-aged man lightly touched the drunkard with his elbow, “I feel as if this corridor is different from just now, come and take a look.”
A sharp wind sound blew in his ears, as if there was a madman talking to himself, the drunkard took the middle-aged man’s cell phone and looked at it carefully for a while, “It seems like there’s really an extra thing.”
He couldn’t help but take a step forward, his brow furrowed.
Dilapidated ceilings, large patches of peeling siding, a closed door, and various miscellaneous items piled up in the corners.
”Huh?” The drunkard suddenly looked to a spot.
”What did you find?” The middle-aged man hurriedly came over and looked towards the place where the drunken man was looking, there was nothing unusual to be seen there, no imagined ghosts or corpses.
”I’m not sure, wait a moment.” The driver handed the cell phone back to the middle-aged man, took out his own cell phone, and turned on the flashlight that came with it.
The light was distorted in the blood mist, and it still wasn’t clear to see.
”It was the door to the room there that made the noise just now.” The drunk man forced himself to move forward in fear, he scrunched his neck, his arm propped up against the wall, and after a few steps he finally got a good look at the extra object, “A mop?”
There was an extra mop in the corridor, the kind of mop that was very common in life, thrown in the corridor by someone.
”It’s just a mop, are you going to scare me to death?” The middle-aged man took a deep breath and put the little boy down, his arms were a little sore.
The drunken man also breathed a sigh of relief, he scratched his head in embarrassment, “It’s me who’s too nervous …… But it seems like there was no mop in the corridor just now, right?”
”I think there was, right? I can’t remember either.” The middle-aged man and the drunkard stood together, and the two of them continued to look forward with the help of the bright light of the cell phone.
As the light reflected, the drunkard who was originally about to move forward suddenly stopped in his tracks, and he asked the middle-aged man next to him with not too much certainty, “Was the mop in that position just now? I remember it was in the penultimate third room there, how come it feels like it moved forward one room?”
”Is it?” The middle-aged man also looked towards that mop.
Under the two men’s simultaneous gaze, that mop, which was very common in life, suddenly moved, and the black pieces of rags began to shake, slowly revealing a human face underneath!
The drunkard and the middle-aged man did not expect such a thing to appear at all, their hands and feet were cold, and before they could react, that mop began to fly closer.
After the distance was much closer, the few people present all saw clearly that it wasn’t a mop at all, it was a human head with long hair.
”Run!”
The drunk man grabbed his cell phone and ran backwards, and the middle-aged man didn’t care about his wife and child frantically rushing out.
The little boy was terrified and he cried out at once until he was picked up by his mother.
Messy footsteps ringing in the building, the drunken man was the first to rush to the entrance of the building, he also hesitated at this time, is to go upstairs to find Chen Ge, or directly run out of this building.
Raising his head to look up the stairway gap, a strand of black hair fell down to his face, and a pale face was reaching down from the second floor handrail.
Screaming, he couldn’t think of anything else and sped outside.
The blood-fogged streets, the city where reality and nightmares intertwined, every building like a man-eating monster.
Heart beating wildly, the drunkard didn’t dare to stay, he shouted at the middle-aged man behind him – run this way, and then ran wildly to hide in a small two-story building next to him.
The courtyard outside the small building was not closed, the flowers and plants inside had all withered, and the most notable thing was that there was a large dog kennel in the innermost part of the courtyard.
Built with iron rails and moldy wooden boards, various bite marks remained on it.
In the courtyard, other than the small building that could hide people, there was only that dog kennel left.
With the constant sound of footsteps and women’s laughter coming from outside, the drunken man’s head was a mess and he felt unsafe anywhere.
He hurriedly ran near the dog kennel: “The houses are very dangerous, maybe we’ll encounter some dirty things, it’s better to hide here and see what happens.”
The drunkard held onto the wooden planks above the kennel, he was just about to drill inside, but before his head went in, he smelled a pungent stench.
