When this image entered my brain, I instantly felt as if an electric current ran through my scalp, as if my hair had grown an inch longer at that moment. I screamed like a woman, and the phone in my hand fell to the ground without me holding it firmly. The screen seemed to be sticking to the ground, and the pale face in front of me instantly disappeared into the darkness again.
"Who are you? Help!"
The pale face I saw at that moment was not very clear when illuminated by the light from the mobile phone, so until now I still don’t know who this person who suddenly appeared in my room was.
But just when I asked this question, the man suddenly reached out and turned on the light in the room. Only then did I see clearly who the owner of that face was. It was Ding Yang in another bedroom!
Ding Yang looked at me with a puzzled look, bent down to pick up the phone that had fallen on the ground and looked at it carefully, and said, "I thought you were watching a porn movie, but when you saw me so panicked, you realized you were reading a novel. What's so shameful about that? Is it necessary to be so scared?"
It turned out that the face belonged to Ding Yang. After I figured this out, I immediately felt my face turn red, but I was extremely angry in my heart. I snatched the phone from Ding Yang's hand and said, "Are you sick? What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night? Are you a gay? Do you walk without making any sound? You scared me to death!"
I patted my chest with lingering fear, while Ding Yang said with a strange smile: "I just walked in normally. Maybe you were too engrossed in watching and didn't hear my footsteps. I said, do you really need to worry? Is my face that scary?"
"Why don't you try it? You were lying on the bed looking at your phone, and when you turned your phone around you saw a face. I'm pretty good at enduring it, but if it were someone else you would have scared them to death!"
Although I already knew that the face was Ding Yang, the shocking scene just now still could not be erased from my mind. I just felt that my legs were a little weak at this moment. If I stood on the ground now, I would definitely fall down.
I rubbed my legs vigorously, still very unhappy and said: "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You pretended to cry and then quietly stood in front of me to scare me? Ding Yang, how did I offend you? Do you have to do this to me?"
Ding Yang said innocently, "No, actually I came to find you because I heard you crying. Who knew you would react so strongly? If I had known, I would have turned on the light first."
After hearing what Ding Yang said, I immediately listened carefully. Indeed, the crying sound did not stop. This means that the crying sound I heard just now was not made by Ding Yang!
So where did this crying sound come from
Thinking of this, I, who had originally felt much better, felt my scalp tingling again. I turned to Ding Yang and asked, "When did you hear this sound?"
Ding Yang was obviously much braver than me. He thought for a moment and said, "About two minutes ago, I heard a sound coming from your room in my bedroom, so I came to see why you were crying. Now it seems that the crying sound should have come from the room next door."
I turned around and looked at the wall of my bedroom. Next to my room was the room of those three Shamatte guys. Could it be that something had happened to them
I immediately leaned against the wall and listened carefully. The sound was indeed coming from the Shamatte’s room, and the sound was getting smaller and smaller, as if something had happened to the people inside!
Ding Yang and I immediately put on our clothes and rushed out of the room. We came to the door of the Shamatte room and knocked hard, but after knocking for a long time, no one opened the door for us. Just when Ding Yang was ready to bang on the door, the door in front of us was finally slowly opened.
After the door opened, I immediately looked into the room and found that the lights in the Shamatte's room were on. It was still as chaotic as when we left during the day. The one who opened the door for us was Xiao Liu, the youngest member of the Shamatte. The others did not seem to be in the room.
Looking at Xiao Liu again, he seemed to have just cried. His eyes were red and his face was covered with tear marks. When he saw us, he was like seeing his own father. He immediately held our hands affectionately. He seemed to be a little excited at this time and stuttered for a long time without uttering a word.
Ding Yang and I didn't waste any time and walked directly into their room. We looked around and indeed didn't see Green Hair and Big Liu. We immediately turned around and asked, "Where are they?"
Xiao Liu wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve and said in a trembling voice, "They went out to the Internet cafe and stayed up all night."
"Are you crazy? Didn't I tell them to stay at home and not go anywhere? Why are you going out again?" I got furious when I heard that, and pointed at Xiao Liu and asked sternly.
Xiao Liu seemed to be shocked by my attitude. After a long pause, he timidly said, "Originally we didn't plan to go out at night, but this big brother came in just now and told us to stop arguing. My brother and Yang Le felt bored, so they went to the Internet cafe to play. I wanted to go too, but we didn't have enough money for three people, so they kept me."
I am completely convinced by those two shamattes. They dared to run around after getting into such a big trouble. They really deserve to be put to death!
I looked at Xiao Liu, whose eyes were still red and swollen from crying, with a puzzled look on my face and said, "You wouldn't have cried if they didn't ask you to go, right? Is it fun for a grown man to cry in the middle of the night? Isn't it embarrassing?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Liu immediately shook his head and said, "No, I didn't cry because they didn't take me with them. I was planning to watch TV to kill time, but just now, I heard a strange sound."
After Big Liu and Green Hair left, Little Liu was reluctant to stay, but he was the youngest and had the lowest status, so he had to stay and watch TV. Perhaps because of the reversal of day and night, their small TV could not receive many channels, and the programs it was broadcasting were all boring. However, Little Liu lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
Just as Xiao Liu was about to close his eyes and wait for sleep to come, suddenly, he heard someone standing at the door and whispering something.
At first, Xiao Liu thought that Green Hair and the others had returned, so he stood up and prepared to open the door. But when Xiao Liu was about to reach the door, the voice of the person outside the door suddenly became louder. At this time, Xiao Liu finally heard clearly what the person outside the door said.
"You are the only one left. Tonight is the day you die!"
When Xiao Liu heard this voice, he instantly collapsed to the ground in fear! Because he was too familiar with this voice, it was clearly the mysterious voice they heard when they were playing with the Pen Fairy a week ago!
Now Xiao Liu no longer dared to open the door. He wanted to struggle to call for help, but his legs would not obey him. The voice outside the door kept repeating this sentence, gradually tormenting his nerves. Finally, he could not overcome the fear in his heart, and he leaned against the wall and cried. This was the source of the crying sound we heard before.
After listening to Xiao Liu's explanation of what had just happened, I finally understood why Xiao Liu took a long time to open the door for us. It turned out that he thought we were the 'Pen Fairy'. However, since the person pretending to be the 'Pen Fairy' has appeared again, now is the time to grab some clues!
I immediately asked Xiao Liu: "When did the sound stop?"
Xiao Liu was in a much better mood at this time. He thought carefully and said, "If it was you who were knocking on the door, then the sound should have disappeared about ten seconds before you knocked on the door."
Since the sound disappeared more than ten seconds before the knock on the door, it proves that the person standing outside the door at that time must have heard the noise in our room and fled in a hurry. Moreover, this corridor is so empty and quiet. If he wanted to leave quickly, it would be impossible for him to leave silently. So I am sure that this person is still in the building!
Thinking of this, I didn't have time to explain to Ding Yang, so I rushed out of the room and ran towards the elevator. After all, only about four minutes had passed from the time we knocked on the door to the time we entered the room. There was still time to chase the murderer!
I quickly ran to the elevator and checked the status of the elevator. It was still on the sixth floor, which meant that the murderer did not leave by elevator but chose to take the stairs!
After figuring out the situation in the elevator, I returned to the door of Shamatte's room again, ready to take Ding Yang to the stairs to look for the murderer. But just when I called Ding Yang out, I suddenly saw the worker's room next to Shamatte's room, which we had never seen before.
If the murderer could disappear in such a short time, maybe the murderer was hiding in this house, or maybe the murderer was the owner of this house.
Thinking of this, I immediately stopped and said, "Ding Yang, you stay."
"Why? It's very dangerous for you to go alone." Ding Yang asked with some confusion.
"No, listen to me, stay here and see if there is anyone in this room. I suspect the murderer is the owner of this room!"
Ding Yang was actually quite smart. He immediately understood what I meant when he heard me say that. Although he was still a little worried about me, he still followed my instructions and stayed to carefully check the room. I didn't waste any time and immediately ran towards the stairs! After all, this was the best opportunity to catch the murderer. If I missed this opportunity, I didn't know if I would have such an opportunity next time.
I quickly ran to the stairs and rushed downstairs without thinking. But when I rushed to the fifth floor, I suddenly saw a man holding a flashlight on the stairs below the fifth floor, walking upstairs slowly! Upon closer inspection, the man turned out to be the security guard, Mr. Liu!
