"The person is missing? ... That can't be possible. We just met in the hall!"
I was surprised and asked again, "Master Liu, didn't you call your daughter?"
Liu Deshui sounded a little impatient on the phone and said, "I called, but no one answered. I'm in the lobby now. I've searched upstairs and downstairs, but there's no sign of anyone."
I thought about it and comforted Liu Deshui, saying, "Master Liu, don't worry. My girlfriend Sun Xiaoli should have been with your daughter just now. I'll go ask Xiaoli if she knows where your daughter has gone. After all, they are all adults, so nothing should happen."
"Okay! Then ask Miss Xiaoli to see if she knows where Xueqing is."
After that, I hung up the phone and called Sun Xiaoli, but her phone was also turned off.
Oh my god, what happened? Why did the phone turn off
I hurried out of the room.
There were eight rooms on the north side of the first floor, six of which were mine and Sun Yaowen's. I knocked on the doors of the six rooms one by one, but no one answered.
There was no choice but to push the door open, but there was no one in all six rooms.
That can’t be possible. Why isn’t Sun Xiaoli in the room? Could she have gone to Uncle Sun’s place
Then I walked next door and knocked on Sun Yaowen's door.
The door opened and Sun Yaowen must have fallen asleep, rubbing his sore eyes.
He looked at me and asked, "What's wrong, Tianyi?"
I hurriedly asked, "Uncle Sun, is Xiaoli here with you?"
Sun Yaowen was stunned for a moment, then a light flashed in his eyes and he said, "No, what happened? Xiaoli is missing?"
There was tension in his voice when he spoke.
I looked miserable and shook my head, saying, "I don't know either. Just now, Xiaoli and Master Liu's daughter Xueqing had another quarrel, which made me upset, so I went back to my room alone. But just now, Master Liu called and said that his daughter Xueqing was missing, so I thought that maybe Xiaoli knew where Xueqing was. So I came to find Xiaoli."
"But I searched every room, but I didn't see Xiao Li."
Sun Yaowen's expression became uneasy, and then he quickly put on his clothes and said quickly: "Let's go, didn't you say that Master Liu is in the hall? Let's go over and take a look."
I nodded, and the uneasy feeling in my heart became stronger and stronger, and my chest felt a little stuffy, as if something was blocking it.
Soon, Sun Yaowen and I rushed to the hall.
Liu Deshui was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the hall, smoking. When he saw us coming over, he put out his cigarette in the ashtray and asked hurriedly, "How's it going, Miss Xiaoli? Do you know where my daughter is?"
I frowned and said, "Master Liu, my girlfriend Xiaoli is not in the room either. I think the two of them must have gone out together!"
"You went out together? ... Did you call Miss Xiaoli?"
I nodded and said, "I called, but the phone was also turned off and I couldn't get through."
"how so?"
Liu Deshui frowned and slowly sat down on the sofa.
Sun Yaowen thought for a moment and said, "They are both girls and adults. They probably left the villa to go shopping. I wonder if we are overthinking it."
I didn't say anything, I thought this was very likely. But the two of them had argued before.
Liu Deshui shook his head and said solemnly, "Although my daughter Xueqing is not very obedient, she never turns off her cell phone. This is what I have told her since she was a child, so that I can know where she is and whether she is safe. But now her cell phone is turned off, which is very abnormal."
I and
Sun Yaowen also sat on the sofa with an uneasy look on his face.
I tried to dial Xiaoli's number again, but still couldn't get through.
Oh my god, what’s going on? Could these two girls have made an appointment
Time passed minute by minute, and the three of us sat on the sofa anxiously, waiting.
It was completely dark outside, and the crescent moon was like a sickle hanging in the sky. The black clouds covered most of the stars, and except for the lights on in the villa, it felt dark everywhere outside.
The darkness makes me feel depressed, as if there is something unknown hidden in the darkness.
I don't know where the two girls went.
This makes me feel uneasy.
Liu Deshui sat there, fiddling with his phone. I knew he was trying to contact his daughter Liu Xueqing. But his increasingly gloomy face told me that he hadn't been able to get in touch with her yet.
"I don't know where this damn girl has gone. Her phone is off and she hasn't come back."
Sitting there, Liu Deshui, in a very depressed mood, said unhappily.
Sun Yaowen rubbed his hands together and said, "Why don't we go out and look for them? After all, they are both girls. If something happens to them, it will be difficult to deal with."
Liu Deshui denied it and said, "It's late at night, where can we find two living people hiding? I know my daughter Xueqing. Although she has a bad personality and acts impulsively without thinking, she never goes to those messy places."
"And Miss Xiaoli is also a quiet girl. The two of them would not go out for no reason."
Liu Deshui was right. But now the person is missing, which makes things difficult.
Silence!
The three of us waited while smoking.
During this period, Liu Deshui called several people he knew, but they all said that Liu Xueqing did not go to their place.
Soon, the time was approaching nine o'clock, and at this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang.
I quickly looked and it was a call from Sun Xiaoli.
After picking up the phone, I hurriedly asked, "Xiao Li, where are you?"
Sun Xiaoli did not answer me directly, but lowered his voice and whispered: "Brother Tianyi, Xueqing and I are in trouble, please come and save us quickly, there is really a ghost in this building."
I could faintly hear a girl crying from the phone. It should be Liu Xueqing.
I hurriedly asked: "How did you encounter a ghost? Where are you now?"
Sun Xiaoli explained tearfully, "Liu Xueqing and I made a bet. She said she was not afraid of ghosts. I said I wasn't afraid either. Then, we had an argument and came here... We are now in an abandoned building next to the No. 3 Middle School in the city. The building is number 34."
When Liu Deshui saw me pick up the phone, he came over and said, "Brother Yang, ask Xueqing and Xiaoli to wait, we'll be there soon."
I nodded and told Xiao Li on the phone, "Xiao Li, you and Xue Qing are together, don't worry, Master Liu and I will be there right now, nothing will happen. Don't run around."
Sun Xiaoli cried and said, "But Brother Tianyi, there really is a ghost in this building. It seems there is more than one. If it weren't for the jade gourd pendant on my chest, I'm afraid Xueqing and I would have been captured by the ghost."
I let out a long breath, tried to relax myself as much as possible, and said, "Okay, okay, I got it. We'll go over there now."
Afterwards, Liu Deshui took the phone from me, chatted with his daughter Liu Xueqing for a few words, and then hung up.
After hanging up the phone, we got up, picked up our bags and walked out of the villa.
Sun Yaowen was worried about Sun Xiaoli, so he followed along.
After all, she was his daughter, so I didn't stop her.
Soon, Liu Deshui drove and the three of us rushed straight to the abandoned building No. 34, the Third Middle School of the city.
In the car, I asked Liu Deshui some questions about the abandoned building No. 34. I didn’t expect that Liu Deshui actually knew about it.
He said that the building was a haunted place and it was haunted very badly in the past.
Later, the people in the building invited Taoist priests and monks to catch ghosts, but none of them succeeded and some people were killed by ghosts.
Later, the building was abandoned and no one dared to enter it, not even the people from the demolition office dared to take action.
It can be said that many evil spirits and resentful ghosts live in that abandoned building.
People who know that the building is haunted call it the "haunted building."
Damn it, it’s already a haunted building, but Sun Xiaoli and Liu Xueqing still dared to go in. I don’t know what they were thinking, they are so heartless.
The car was speeding on the road, honking its horn constantly, like a madly running beast.
Liu Deshui's face was shrouded in gloom and he said nothing.
Sun Yaowen and I sat in the back seat, and I noticed that Uncle Sun kept muttering and sighing. He was praying that nothing would happen to Sun Xiaoli.
Although I was anxious, I was still calm. After all, now that the incident had already happened, there was no point in getting anxious.
Soon, our car arrived in front of the No. 3 Middle School of the city. Not far away, a dark building appeared there.
After getting out of the car, Liu Deshui pointed to the building and said, "That's it. That's the haunted building No. 34."
Looking at the haunted building from afar, my heart was beating wildly, as if someone was grabbing my heart and squeezing it continuously.
The haunted building stood there like a giant hidden in the darkness. In the night sky, the bleak moonlight shone down, as if the giant's body was pierced, with dark holes appearing.
I focused my eyes on the "spirit" and found that the entire building, which was more than ten stories high, was shrouded in a layer of evil spirit. Wind blew into the windows of the building, which had no glass, and made a "woooo woooo" sound, as if countless people were hiding in a dark corner and crying non-stop.
I took out my cell phone and tried to contact Sun Xiaoli again, but I couldn't get through.
"How is it?" Liu De asked me.
I shook my head and said, "I can't get in touch with you. It seems like we have to go straight up."
"Okay, let's go straight up. Saving people is the most important thing. There are many vengeful ghosts in this haunted building. It may be difficult for the two of us to deal with them, but it shouldn't be difficult to save them and leave. I hope they are both okay. If they are, even if I, Liu Deshui, die in there, I will avenge my daughter."
Without saying anything else, after giving Sun Yaowen an amulet, the three of us found the entrance and walked towards the abandoned building.
The building was in a large yard. In the yard, there was a lot of garbage, wood, building materials, and other things piled up. The weeds were everywhere, almost enough to cover a person.
When the wind blew, the grass stalks kept shaking, making a rustling sound, as if countless reptiles were approaching us.
In order not to alert the enemy, we did not turn on the flashlight.
A few minutes later, the entrance to the haunted building appeared in front of us.
At the entrance of the building, glass was scattered all over the floor, the iron door at the entrance had fallen down, and faded banners were sticking to the wall and fluttering in the air, looking very much like soul flags.
Also, waves of chilly evil spirits surged out from the entrance of the building, making people feel chilly and their backs cold.
"Let's go. This haunted building has only one entrance. We can only go upstairs from here."
