The flashlight in He Xiaoru's hand finally stopped flickering, and it shone on the figure on the ground.
There was a cat, but a monster covered in blood and flesh. The veins and blood vessels on the body were all exposed, and there was no trace of skin on the whole body.
He Xiaoru and I yelled again, and ran towards the street in a hurry, when a weeping voice came from behind: "Brother, you promised to help Xiaoling find it."
I ran faster immediately, and reached the courtyard gate in a few steps, but I tripped over the steps of the courtyard gate and fell hard on the street, bleeding immediately.
The lights on the street began to flicker non-stop, making the whole street extremely terrifying. But now I was surrounded by a sharp pain, and the blood on my head blurred my eyes, and I couldn't fully open my eyes after several attempts.
Blue and red lights came slowly from a distance alternately, and there seemed to be some sound, but I couldn't tell it apart.
In the blur, it seemed that the surroundings were very noisy. I felt myself being lifted up. It seemed that I still hadn't run away.
My whole body was still in pain, and my consciousness was not fully awake, when a familiar voice came over: "Are you awake?"
I tried my best to open my eyes, I was lying on the hospital bed, the sun was shining outside the window, and Wu Jian was sitting on the bedside smoking a cigarette.
I propped myself up hard and wanted to sit up, but Wu Jian was on the side, neither stopping nor helping, just watching me sit up with difficulty, my forehead was faintly sweating.
"What's wrong with me?" I asked, licking my dry lips.
Wu Jian flicked the soot, and said very easily: "It's nothing, I just fell and hit a rock very unluckily. Of course, I didn't die."
Of course I knew I wasn't dead, otherwise why would I be lying in the hospital with such pain.
"What did you do in Building 108 last night? Did you feel the danger again?"
Building 108, Wu Jian's words made me unable to react for a while.
"Oh, it's the haunted building you often talk about."
Ghost building, the memories of last night flooded in like a flood, and I couldn't help shivering in broad daylight.
"Scared?" Wu Jian's words were still flat.
I nodded silently and asked, "What happened last night?"
"Coincidentally, this is exactly what I want to ask. Why don't you tell me the beginning, process, and climax of the matter, and then I will tell you the end?"
To be honest, I really don't like Wu Shangjian's way of speaking, but I am still deeply shrouded in fear from last night, and I really don't have the leisure to entangle Wu Shangjian's way of speaking.
"I told you, you won't believe me." I hesitated for a while, but I still spoke.
"I believe." Wu Jian's words remained firm.
It's just that I believe these two words have been heard too much, and I can almost ignore them automatically.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Wu Jian casually threw the cigarette butt that was still burning out of the window, and spoke first amidst the abuse coming from outside the window.
"Yesterday we received a report saying that some children went to explore the ghost building and didn't go back very late, so as the patron saint of the people, I had to crawl out of the bed. Who knew that when I first arrived at the ghost building, I saw you as if you were trapped He ran out like a ghost chasing after him, and then he bumped his head against the stone on the side of the road very heroically and passed out."
I stated again that I hated Wu Jian's way of speaking, but I still asked: "Where is Xiao Ru?"
Wu Jian was taken aback: "Xiao Ru, who is Xiao Ru?"
I was also taken aback: "Xiao Ru is, uh, the girl who ran out of the haunted house with me."
"No, my colleague said that he only saw you running out alone."
I ran out alone, so what about Xiaoru? I remember very clearly that I ran out holding Xiao Ru's hand.
Wu Jian's face also became serious: "You mean there is another girl with you?"
I nodded quickly.
Wu Jian took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket and said, "Tell me everything you know."
It was about He Xiaoru's safety, and I didn't care about the weirdness of the matter, so I told Wu Jian from the beginning to the end.
Wu Jian's complexion kept changing with my narration, and finally froze into a sluggish frame. Except for no drooling, he was just like an idiot.
It took a long time before Wu Jian came to his senses and stared at me with strange eyes.
I was a little terrified of being stared at, so I said, "Believe it or not, what I said is true."
"I believe." Wu Jian said and stood up: "You have a good rest, I'll go out and play."
Hearing Wu Jian said these two words again, I really didn't want to say anything more. Seeing Wu Jian was about to leave, I hurriedly asked: "How are they doing?"
Wu Jian opened the door, stepped out without looking back, and said, "I'll tell you later."
Although my head was injured, it wasn't serious, and I didn't even need stitches, but I still looked sick with gauze wrapped around my head.
Wu Jian came in the afternoon of the second day. As soon as he entered the ward, he skillfully lit a cigarette.
Seeing that Wu Jian didn't speak, I asked, "How's it going?"
Wu Jian was smoking without raising his head: "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Ru, there are Chen Kai and the others, and more." I hesitated for a while, and finally burst out those two words: "Ghost building."
Wu Jian raised his eyebrows: "What else can I do? I checked that Xiaoru, and it is indeed an employee of the mobile phone store, but I can't find anyone now. As for the three children, they are all dead. As for Building 108, now There are rumors everywhere outside, and it is said that the higher-ups are considering whether to sell the building to eliminate the influence."
"What do you mean no one can be found?"
Wu Jian looked at me depressedly and said, "He Xiaoru hasn't gone to work for a few days, and there's no one at home. Now I'm trying to find a way to contact her family."
I almost want to slap this depressed face hard with my hand, since I can't find anyone, I should look for it quickly.
As if he understood what I meant, Wu Jian continued: "My colleagues have already gone to look for it, don't worry. By the way, do you know how the three children died? Both boys were strangled to death, and the forensic doctor identified , there was nothing in her stomach, she just died like that, as for that girl, it was even more strange, with countless bullet holes on her body, it felt like she had been shot by a machine gun."
Hearing Wu Jian's words, I looked dull, the way the three teenagers died was completely beyond my imagination.
"So, I'm wondering why you didn't die, and where is He Xiaoru? To be honest, this is the most annoying case."
"Are there many such cases?" I couldn't help asking.
"It's not much to say, but such weird cases are relatively rare. Hey, tell me, how did you survive?"
I shook my head, I have no idea how I survived, could it be because I burned paper money for them? Or is it because I didn't take the initiative to go to the second floor
Wu Jian didn't seem to intend to get an answer from me, so he lit another cigarette, butt to butt, and smoked slowly, exhaling two smoke rings from time to time.
