Tang Ning's brain buzzed, and the hand that was around Geng Xi's neck unconsciously used a little more strength. When one person is holding another person and walking, how can they stand on tiptoes steadily without even the slightest shaking of the body
Is it the amazing balance
Or is it
No, maybe I was seeing things. After all, the corridor was completely dark. Only the places with security signs could emit a faint green light. It was common to get dazzled by this weak light.
Tang Ning tried to comfort herself, but she knew it was just self-consolation. It was easy to verify whether it was just a mistake. She just needed to take another look.
Tang Ning stroked the ring on his left hand and bravely took another look at it.
This time, Geng Xi kept his feet close to the ground and walked on tiptoe, as if everything that had just happened was just Tang Ning's illusion.
Is this an illusion? Or is it a hallucination caused by the poison? Is there an outbreak of the poison now
Tang Ning felt dizzy, and he wasn't sure whether it was due to the poison or because of too many problems.
At this moment, Geng Xi suddenly stopped and stood in the middle of the elevator entrance.
There were only the two of them in the dark and silent corridor. The building was very cold at night. Tang Ning couldn't see Geng Xi's expression, but could only hear Geng Xi's low voice: "I don't know which way he went."
Tang Ning's heartbeat quickened when he heard Geng Xi talking. He pushed Geng Xi's hand, signaling Geng Xi to put him down. With a click, the sound of Tang Ning landing on the ground caused a voice-controlled light to light up.
The bright light seemed to drive away the evil spirits around, but Tang Ning's body began to tremble slightly.
Du Feng didn’t know whether he was going upstairs or downstairs, whether he was taking the elevator or the stairs, but these were not the main points.
The key point was that under the light, Tang Ning could clearly see two fresh creases on Geng Xi's leather shoes.
Those are the marks left by walking on tiptoe.
Gengxi did walk on tiptoe just now!!!
Under Tang Ning's trembling gaze, Geng Xi raised his foot, pointed the toe of his shoe at the toe of Tang Ning's, and slowly approached Tang Ning.
Tang Ning's scalp tingled and his spine felt cold. He tried his best to remain calm and took out his cell phone from his pocket to see if there was still a signal.
An unread text message appeared on the phone screen, and the owner of this text message was the mysterious number from before!
Seeing Geng Xi approaching, Tang Ning quickly opened the text message and glanced at it.
"What's wrong?" Geng Xi leaned over.
The screen went dark at that moment. Tangning had just turned off her phone and was unsure whether Gengxi had seen the contents of the text message.
"Du Feng is going to Building No. 4 in your community now."
Building number four
Tang Ning currently lives in Building No. 1 in the community. Will Du Feng move to Building No. 4
Although the distance between Building 1 and Building 4 is not enough to span most of the community, it still takes seven or eight minutes to walk. Even if Du Feng is very fast, it is impossible for him to run to Building 4 in one go. How did the owner of this text message know that Du Feng was going to Building 4
Is this text message a trap, specifically designed to lure people to Building No. 4
Tangning's mind was in a mess.
"Do you want to continue chasing? Why don't you go back first?" Geng Xi advised.
Tangning glanced at Gengxi nervously, worried that cold sweat would break out on his forehead, or that his facial expressions would get out of control.
What is the current situation in Gengxi
Is it an illusion or is there something wrong with Gengxi? No, Gengxi has always had problems, but he just disguised himself. Maybe Gengxi knows Du Feng's whereabouts now, but he just doesn't want Du Feng to be found.
If Geng Xi goes back now, he will definitely be frightened and even meet with misfortune. Tracking Du Feng will also be frightening. It is better to choose the latter, at least he can get a little more information.
Tang Ning wasn't sure whether Du Feng was actually in Building No. 4. But it didn't matter. If Du Feng was really heading towards Building No. 4, he should be still far away now, probably near Building No. 2 or Building No. 3. If they went down to chase him now, they should be able to see Du Feng.
Thinking of this, Tang Ning said to Geng Xi, "Let's go down and take a look first!"
Taking the elevator was the fastest way to go down. Although Tang Ning was very afraid of elevators, time waited for no one. Accompanied by Geng Xi, Tang Ning gritted her teeth and entered the elevator. She did not dare to look at her reflection in the elevator. She could only touch the ring in her hand and take deep breaths.
The numbers on the elevator kept jumping, and soon the elevator door opened. Tang Ning couldn't wait to walk out. Geng Xi accompanied Tang Ning through the dark corridor, and they walked quickly out of Building No. 1.
It is about ten o'clock in the evening. There are few people outside the community. The light of the street lamp is not bright, and can only barely illuminate the area within about half a meter. The coldness spreads on the silent road.
A cold wind blew past, and Tangning couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body. He saw that both sides of the road were surrounded by tall, dark trees. At the end of the road, a familiar figure appeared -
Du Feng walked vaguely in the night.
Du Feng walked very fast, so Tang Ning had to walk fast to keep up with Du Feng. He didn't dare to get too close for fear of disturbing Du Feng, nor did he dare to get too far for fear of losing him. They kept a distance of about two meters, which allowed Tang Ning to see more of Du Feng's weirdness.
His feet were still on tiptoe, his head hung low. When he reached the door of Building No. 4, normally one would need to swipe the access card to get in, but Du Feng could just open the door and walk in.
The door closed again.
Tang Ning was a step slower and was isolated outside the door. Looking through the glass door, she saw Du Feng's figure disappearing into the darkness and she couldn't help but become anxious.
At this moment, Geng Xi pulled out the access card for Building No. 4 from his pocket and opened the door with a swipe. Tang Ning was a little confused. Geng Xi was obviously from Building No. 1, so how could he have the access card for Building No. 4
In the face of Tangning's puzzled gaze, Geng Xi calmly explained, "Your colleague Qin Jiaqi, who is ill, lives in Building 4 of this community. I came to visit her, so I specially prepared the access card for this building."
Did Qin Jiaqi actually live in Building No. 4? So did Du Feng come to Building No. 4 to visit Qin Jiaqi
With a lot of doubts in his mind, Tang Ning followed Geng Xi into this unfamiliar building. They caught up in time and saw Du Feng on the stairs. Although Du Feng was climbing the stairs on tiptoe, his speed was much faster than that of ordinary people.
It was extremely difficult for Tang Ni to keep up with Du Feng. In order not to alarm Du Feng, Tang Ning had to control his strength and try not to make too much noise with every step he took.
It was when he walked like this that he realized how difficult it was to walk as quietly as Gengxi and Du Feng. Just like at this moment, although Gengxi was following Tang Ning, if Tang Ning was not sure that the other party was right next to him, he would not be able to detect Gengxi's existence just by listening to the voice.
I kind of want to see how Gengxi walks, but I'm worried that I'll see something dirty.
When they reached the second floor, Tang Ning couldn't help but gasp for breath. Just as he exhaled a little, Du Feng, who had been walking in front of him, suddenly stopped. Before Tang Ning could react, Geng Xi quickly reached out and covered Tang Ning's mouth.
The next second, Du Feng suddenly turned his head!
The sensor light was not on and the building was dark. Tang Ning could only vaguely see Du Feng's appearance through the pale moonlight pouring in through the window. He still had his eyes closed, and his nose twitched slightly, as if he was sniffing something.
Tang Ning's whole body was tense, and he was held motionless in Geng Xi's arms. Still remembering Du Feng's dog nose, he was panicked that he would be discovered in the next second, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.
The hand that covered Tang Ning's mouth and nose was filled with Geng Xi's scent, so fragrant that Tang Ning felt that their identities were about to be exposed.
But Du Feng just twitched his nose, as if he didn't smell anything. He stopped for a while unwillingly, then turned around and continued to walk upstairs quickly.
Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief temporarily. His tense body showed signs of softening. He clenched his fists and rejected Geng Xi's idea of climbing the stairs. He gritted his teeth and insisted on following Du Feng. They climbed from the first floor to the fourth floor. Tang Ning's legs were as soft as two noodles.
When he reached the fourth floor, Du Feng stopped running upstairs and walked straight to a closed door. Du Feng didn't even need to knock on the door, the door opened by itself, as if someone had been guarding the door waiting for Du Feng's arrival.
"It's Qin Jiaqi's home." Geng Xi lowered his voice.
When Tang Ning saw this scene, it suddenly occurred to her that in addition to using the access card to enter Building No. 4, visitors could also contact the tenants in advance. As long as Du Feng and Qin Jiaqi agreed in advance, the door could indeed be opened smoothly like they had just done.
But when Tang Ning thought about it this way, he was confused. Why did Qin Jiaqi take the initiative to open the door for Du Feng? And why did Du Feng come here like a sleepwalker in the middle of the night
Du Feng walked into Qin Jiaqi's room, the door was closed, and Tang Ning looked at Geng Xi, wanting to see if Geng Xi had any ideas this time.
In the darkness, Geng Xi's sharp eyes were dark and bright as he stared at the door, with an unspeakable greed in his eyes.
"Ahhhh!!!" A shrill scream came from Qin Jiaqi's house. The pain and fear contained in the wailing could make the listener shudder and feel panic even through a door.
What happened?!
Why does this scream sound so much like Qin Jiaqi's? !
Tang Ning's heart was beating like a drum. He pricked up his ears to try to make out more details. Finally, when the scream became so faint, Tang Ning heard a clear sound of swallowing saliva.
This sound did not come from Qin Jiaqi's house.
It came from Geng Xi who was beside Tang Ning.
Tang Ning's scalp went numb and his muscles tensed. He turned his head stiffly and heard Geng Xi swallow his saliva again. The thick night obscured Geng Xi's face, but the light in his dark eyes became brighter and brighter, so bright that Tang Ning instantly thought of him as a hungry wolf.
Does a hungry wolf have such a greedy look when watching its companions eating
