"Jingle Bell-"
The intercom doorbell rang.
During the day Zhe and Liu Yan froze, neither of them dared to connect.
However, after the doorbell rang twice, it was connected automatically.
From the intercom doorbell, the two clearly heard a crisp 'click' sound from the other end of the doorbell, and the anti-theft door downstairs of the unit building was opened!
"... It's over, it's really over!"
No one touched the intercom doorbell, and it was self-evident how the door opened.
At this time, Bai Zhe completely lost his luck.
He was soberly aware that they were finished, he and his wife were being targeted by ghosts!
"Tianzhe, I was wrong...it's all my fault! I shouldn't have hung up the phone!
You said, I will send a text message to him now, saying that I will buy it, and I will buy any insurance! Can he let us go? "
Liu Yan grabbed her hair, tears overflowed from her eyes, and she was sobbing endlessly.
During the day, Zhe was very irritable and also very frightened.
However, he is a responsible man. At this juncture, he did not forget to comfort his wife: "Swallow, it's not your fault. Even if you promised him at the beginning, he would not let us go! This is fate. It's all life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cell phone in Liu Yan's hand rang again.
Liu Yan's teary eyes tremblingly opened the MMS.
On the multimedia message, there is a dark window.
When Liu Yan first saw this photo, she was still a little dazed, but soon, she fell into a greater fear——
This window is clearly the window in the corridor of the apartment building where she lives.
Although the windows are dark, if you look carefully, you can clearly see the scenery outside!
The ghost has reached the second floor!
"Tianzhe, it's over, the ghost is on the second floor!"
"Let's run! No... we live on the seventh floor, where can we go?"
Liu Yan covered her face and sobbed, she looked at the window from time to time, and her body trembled.
The voice in her heart told her to jump down, jump down from here.
Even if you jump off the seventh floor and fall to your death, it's better than falling into the hands of a ghost and being killed by a ghost!
"Tianzhe...I'm sorry for you..."
Liu Yan burst into tears and seemed to have completely lost her mind.
Seeing his wife's breakdown, Tian Zhe almost collapsed too.
He has a happy family, and recently found a well-behaved and obedient child.
Originally, they could live a peaceful and happy life, but who knew that just a phone call would put them in such a terrible and desperate situation!
Bai Zhe looked at Bai Yan and felt that he was really wrong.
If he had known this earlier, he might as well have left the child with his biological mother.
Even if his biological mother is a scumbag, being abused by her is better than being killed by a ghost now!
During the day, Zhe felt cold all over, feeling dazed.
But just when he was at a loss, a thought gradually appeared in his mind, making him seem to have grasped some life-saving straw.
He and his wife couldn't escape, but at least this child... this child who could have survived shouldn't be implicated by them!
So, Bai Zhe didn't hesitate anymore, he strode up to Bai Yan, took his little hand and said, "Son, promise Dad one thing, no matter what you hear, what your aunt and I are talking about, it doesn't matter." Don't come out!"
Bai Yan raised his eyes, and looked at Bai Zhe, whose face was full of despair, with light gray eyes.
Beside her, the desperate cry of a woman rang in her ears.
The entire warm room was instantly shattered by despair, and one could smell the dead silence of despair in one's breath.
Listening and watching, Bai Yan's empty eyes gradually warmed up, and his face was no longer the lifeless expression of two months.
However, during the day, Zhe was so anxious that he didn't notice these changes at all.
After Bai Yan nodded, he dragged Bai Yan to the closet, opened the closet, and pushed a door panel aside when he entered.
In the closet, there was a hidden door.
During the day, Zhe opened the door, and there was a small bathroom in the door, covering an area of only a little more than one square meter.
Except for a small sink and toilet, a mirror hanging over the sink, and a mouthwash cup placed on the sink, there is nothing else in it.
"Here, this is a watch. Can you tell the time? ... Yes, after the hour hand has turned twice and there is no sound outside, you can come out from inside."
"Remember, no matter what happens outside, don't come out!"
Bai Zhe gave one last instruction and pushed Bai Yan into the door.
He asked Bai Yan to lock the door inside, and then he closed the wardrobe door outside.
The location of the toilet door is very concealed, coupled with the cover of the door panel, no one would have guessed that there is a room hidden inside.
After finishing the door panel, Tian Zhe hung some clothes in front of the door panel to make the wardrobe more natural.
After finishing all this, he closed the closet and returned to his wife, trembling with guilt, "Forgive me..."
"No, it's all my fault!"
Liu Yan saw what Bai Zhe did, but she didn't hold any resentment, she just choked up and said, "I'm the one who got you into trouble...Tian Zhe, run away, I've thought about it, the ghost is after me! If you escape to the eighth floor and hide upstairs, maybe you can still escape..."
"Swallow, I'm with you."
During the day, Zhe held his wife's hand tightly. Although his body was shaking slightly, he sat motionless beside Liu Yan, apparently determined to live and die with his wife.
Seeing that her husband did not abandon her even at this critical moment, Liu Yan's nose was sour, and tears flowed down again, crying in a panic.
The mobile phone on the table was still ringing from time to time, but at this time, the husband and wife no longer touched the mobile phone.
The two leaned together like quails, clasping their hands, as if they could draw warmth from each other's body temperature.
In the dead silence, Bai Zhe's face became paler and paler, and Liu Yan's body trembled more violently.
Sitting and waiting to die is one of the most painful things in the world.
However, this strange dead silence didn't last long, and there was a "dong dong dong" knock on the door, and at the same time, Liu Yan's cell phone began to ring.
The ghost has come to the door.
…
It was dark in the toilet.
Bai Yan was not afraid of being locked in the toilet abruptly.
Weird pictures on the phone, a man in a suit holding a woman's head in his arms, and two adults having a desperate conversation...
It was the first time he heard these words, but instinctively, he seemed to know what they were.
ghost.
He had this idea vaguely in his mind.
He doesn't know exactly what a ghost is, but he knows that if he is entangled in this thing, he will die.
The toilet space is very small, but Bai Yan is very thin, even thinner than children of the same age.
He curled up in the corner and didn't feel cramped.
Bai Yan curled up quietly in the corner for a while, and suddenly remembered something.
He walked to the sink in the dark, took a glass of water with a mouthwash cup, then turned off the tap, and returned to that corner with the cup in his hand, sitting quietly and silently as before.
"Boom boom boom—"
There was a knock on the door.
Even if he was locked in the toilet, he could still hear the movement outside through the closet.
Because there are two doors separated, the knock on the door is not too loud for Bai Yan.
But soon, the knocking on the door stopped.
It may be the reason why no one opened the door. After a while of silence, people outside the door began to knock on the door.
The sound of the door being slammed was deafening, and Bai Yan had the urge to cover his ears while hiding behind two doors.
The sound of slamming the door lasted for a short time before something crashed to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, there were men's roars and women's screams.
The man seemed to be lifting some heavy object, and wanted to give it a fight, and the woman was crying and smashing something, which immediately filled the room with the sound of metal collisions.
But these voices didn't last long, and soon, these voices gradually subsided.
In the room, two groans were heard. Moaning and struggling, it seemed that something had grabbed the throats of the two of them, making them powerless to resist.
After a while, the sound of struggling disappeared.
In the darkness, only weird shrill laughter remained.
"he he he he he… "
"Buy insurance, hee hee... I want to buy insurance!"
"I want to buy ninety-nine years!"
"I'll buy it for a hundred years!"
The two people's broken laughter sounded outside the closet, the voice was very sharp and devilish, very different from their usual ones.
'What will happen to them? '
In the toilet, Bai Yan was holding the cup, and this question flashed through his mind.
They...should die.
To die is to close your eyes and never be able to speak again.
Thinking that these two people would die, Bai Yan felt extremely strange in his heart. There was an inexplicable emotion surging from the depths of his heart. In the darkness, he seemed to be expecting something.
Bai Yan sat quietly, and the people outside the door didn't make him wait long.
After a burst of "rustling" sounds of paper and pen interlacing, the outside of the closet finally returned to calm.
Both men and women have lost their language, only a very rhythmic voice, knocking on the wardrobe rhythmically—
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The knocking sound continued until an hour later, and the sound did not stop, as if it was tireless.
At this time, Bai Yan vaguely realized that his two new guardians were really dead.
They died.
All of a sudden, Bai Yan's eyes became moist, and a salty liquid dripped down his cheeks, which made him unable to help but reach out and touch his cheeks, feeling the strange wetness between his fingers.
what happened to him
Bai Yan only knows that when a person cannot bear the pain, the body will release physiological tears.
Also, according to the book, when people are sad, they can't help crying.
But he is not sad at all, and now his body is not injured, and he doesn't feel any pain at all.
Bai Yan's index finger brushed against his lips, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards.
Bai Yan was very puzzled, so he gently put down the cup, walked to the mirror, grabbed the sink, stood on tiptoe, in the dark, tried to look up at himself in the mirror—
He is laughing.
It turned out that he was laughing.
Bai Yan stared at the mirror, as if he had discovered a new world, feeling sincere joy.
This unexpected discovery made him want to laugh out loud, but he still remembered the man's request before he died, so he swallowed back his laughter, and laughed more wantonly silently while weeping.
It turns out...that's it.
…
Before you know it, the hour hand has passed two laps.
The next night came, but the knocking outside the closet continued.
According to the man's instructions, if there are voices outside, you can't go out. But the water in the cup has already been drunk, and Bai Yan has no intention of waiting.
He opened the toilet door, panted and pushed the door open, and slipped under the hem of his clothes.
Then, he opened the wardrobe door.
Outside the closet, he saw two pairs of toes.
He looked up, and two livid-faced corpses were hanging from the ceiling with a sly smile. Every time they swayed, their toes would make a crisp sound on the wardrobe.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
