"Well, I... what are you doing?"
I didn't know what to say, so I just asked dryly.
The lifeguard looked at me vigilantly and didn't speak. The skinny boy raised his eyes and said, "We're just wondering when you appeared. We didn't see you just now."
Uh, this is the rhythm of treating me like a ghost, but it seems that they did not see me just now, but I have been sitting here, how can I explain my sudden appearance.
All eyes were on me, I smiled wryly and said, "I said I've been here, do you believe me? I came early, but you all pretended that I didn't exist, and I called you just now. "
Several people looked suspicious, but fortunately the boy said something fair: "He has been there."
Several people looked at each other, and then left the boy's position at the same time, it seemed that they also had doubts about the boy.
"Well, we are going to call the police as soon as possible. Does anyone have any ideas?" I didn't try to explain anything, because I found that everyone should stay away, and I can't tell who is a ghost now. Safer, of course, can't leave each other's sight.
My words remind everyone that everyone is talking about it, but there is no suitable solution. The mobile phone is blocked, the door cannot be opened, and the window is open, but it is only 5 or 6 meters away from the ground. .
"There is a landline in the office, maybe it can get through." The lifeguard said, pointing to a dark passage.
It was the passageway for employees, which looked very long in the dim light, and looked a bit scary in the current atmosphere.
The fat boy said, "Let's go quickly."
The fat boy glanced at the body still floating in the swimming pool, swallowed and urged him up, it put a lot of pressure on him.
Everyone discussed it and decided to go to the office to call the police on their landlines, but they obviously still doubted me and the boy and asked the two of us to go ahead.
To be honest, I don’t want to. Lulu and Little Bell are at the corner of the swimming pool. Although I can’t get through and can’t hear them talking, I feel at ease when I can see them. I feel safer here, even though there are still three dead bodies.
But I can’t go, first, what Wu Ting said is very clear, I can only save myself and everyone else if I find the ghost, maybe I can provide some clues if I go to the office, and second, everyone has agreed now, if I don’t I agree that maybe they will be regarded as ghosts instead, but I saw that skinny boy secretly hiding something like a stick behind his back.
The boy and I walked in front with a distance of one meter. This distance basically gave us time to react. There were other people 3 meters behind. I walked very slowly, paying attention to the situation behind me all the time. I don't care so much, and I have a lot less fear in my heart.
The passage is very ordinary, except for the dim lighting, there is nothing special about it. There are not many doors in the long passage. They are all white walls. Perhaps because of the dampness of the swimming pool, the walls are a bit damp, and many places have a big hole. A large piece of erosion.
Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor. After walking for an unknown amount of time, when we passed a door, the lifeguard told us to stop, and then motioned for me and the boy to move away. It seemed that this was the office. He took out a bunch of keys and opened the door directly.
Then he reached out and groped the wall of the entrance, looking for a switch. After a while, the lifeguard said: "The light seems to be broken. It's strange. It's fine this afternoon."
The words of the lifeguard made my heart tighten. The dark office is like a monster with its mouth open, waiting for us to fall into the trap.
The lifeguard took out his mobile phone, shone a light on the inside, and then moved out of the way, motioning for me and the boy to go ahead.
I didn't have a cell phone, so the boy and I could only use the weak light of the boy's cell phone to walk in. The office has windows to the outside, and it shouldn't be too late now, but the windows of the office are dark all over. None of the moonlight.
All this made me more vigilant. Since the door of this office was opened, many places seemed a bit wrong.
The office is very large, filled with rows of desks and chairs, it looks as neat as a classroom, there are things on the desks, neat or messy, it seems that someone is using it, and at the end of the office , there is a sofa, on the small table next to the sofa, a red phone is placed on it.
The phone is very conspicuous, there is no need for the lifeguard to point it out, it can be seen at a glance, the boy and I walked towards the phone slowly, I don't know if it was my hallucination, I always heard the faint sound of water droplets.
"Di, di, di" The closer the phone is, the clearer the sound of the water droplets. This is not my hallucination, my heart suddenly raised, is Wu Ting here
"Did you hear the sound of water?" I looked at the phone under the light in the distance and said to the boy.
"Yeah." The boy nodded, but looked at me strangely. It was just the sound of water droplets. My reaction was a bit loud.
I couldn't explain it to the boy, but my pace slowed down. The lifeguard a few meters away also heard my words, and said with a bit of embarrassment in his tone: "The water dispenser is broken, and it keeps dripping."
I said "oh", but I was more wary of the lifeguard, because I felt that the lifeguard seemed to be explaining this problem to me deliberately.
As it got closer, the boy's light turned to the clear sound of water dripping. There was indeed a water dispenser there. Just as the lifeguard said, water was slowly dripping into the tray. The tray was full of water and was flowing down the water dispenser. When it came down, a small puddle of water had formed on the ground.
Although the boy's light quickly turned to the phone, I still saw that the water dispenser was empty, at least from my position I couldn't see the water in it.
"Your water dispenser is almost empty, and you don't want to fix it." I asked the lifeguard tentatively in a joking tone.
The lifeguard said: "Whatever your business, go quickly."
Uh, I didn't find out any information, at least I didn't see it, but after the boy heard it, he turned the light on the water dispenser again. This time, I saw a few strands of black floating in the bucket on the water dispenser. like hair.
The boy must have seen it too. The light did not leave the water dispenser, his teeth began to chatter, and he asked, "What's in there?"
Several beams of light shone on the water dispenser at the same time. Under the strong light, the black floating objects in the water dispenser became more clear, which were a few strands of long hair.
A few screams came, and everyone became a little panicked. The lifeguard yelled to silence the surroundings, then walked to the drinking fountain, took a closer look and said, "What's strange, it's the bucket. Dirty."
After the lifeguard finished speaking, the panic subsided slightly. I subconsciously moved away from the water dispenser or the lifeguard next to the water dispenser, then picked up the landline, turned on the speakerphone, and called the police.
The phone was connected, and there was a female voice over there, but the noise of the electric current made it hard to hear. The boy seemed a little excited, and he leaned over to talk about the address and the situation loudly, but it was obvious that the other party couldn't hear us. Voice, after a burst of noise, the other party hung up the phone.
At this time, the fat boy no longer cared about how I appeared, walked up, pushed me away, then picked up the phone and dialed a mobile phone number. This time it was a male voice, but it also had a huge electric sound, which made people feel uncomfortable. He couldn't hear clearly, the fat boy yelled loudly, but there was no response from the other party, and the phone hung up after a while.
The skinny boy and I both tried it once, with the same result, no way to communicate.
I looked at the lifeguard who was still standing in front of the water dispenser, blocking the water dispenser and said, "You can try it too."
The lifeguard said: "You all can't get through, so why should I try?"
"The phone is broken." I tentatively said.
"It's been broken for a while."
As soon as the lifeguard finished speaking, the fat boy cried and shouted, "You know it's broken and let us come."
The skinny boy moved closer to me, and looked at him subconsciously. He also looked at me, and his eyes behind the glasses seemed to blink. Yes, why did the lifeguard bring us to this office when they knew the phone was broken
Moreover, the behavior of the lifeguards standing in front of the drinking fountains also made me vigilant in my confusion.
"This call is good and bad, and I am trying my luck." The lifeguard tried to explain.
The fat boy was a little angry. He walked towards the lifeguard as if he wanted to question him, but he was stopped by the thin boy. The thin boy said to the lifeguard, "Any other calls?"
Lifeguard: "Let me think about it." After speaking, he seemed to be really thinking, lowered his head, and did not speak.
Will the staff here not know where there is a phone? I thought the lifeguards were a bit weird, but initially the reaction of the lifeguards at the pool was normal.
I'm a bit puzzled, so I can only stay vigilant and see the situation.
The lifeguard seemed to have thought of something, looked up and said, "Our supervisor's office must have a phone."
Everyone looked at each other, and then I asked, "Where is the supervisor's office?"
The lifeguard pointed to the direction behind us, and we almost all turned our heads. Indeed, there was a black door not far behind, but there was no sign.
Black doors, where do you use black doors? I am very strange, because I have been to both private companies and government departments, but I have never seen a black door.
I felt a faint chill in my heart. At this time, I noticed that all the people were watching the door, and I turned my head worriedly. Because there was no light, I could only faintly see the lifeguard putting the mobile phone on the water dispenser, and the light was pointing at the ceiling. what to do.
"What are you doing?" My voice was very loud, and suddenly several beams of lights were shot at the lifeguard at the same time, and the lifeguard was facing the water dispenser with his hands clasped together, muttering to himself, but the voice was so small that it seemed that there was no sound at all. sound.
The lifeguard was startled by my voice, bumped into the water dispenser, shook the water dispenser from side to side, and the mobile phone fell to the ground with a "snap" sound, and then the light went out.
