Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, he stopped, and the noise from upstairs also stopped.
The room was very quiet, so quiet that one could hear Tang Ning's breathing. This eerie silence made people feel even more panicked.
Why did the upstairs neighbor just happen to stop
Tang Ning's Adam's apple rolled and he glanced around. The sticky gaze was still lingering on him, but he couldn't see the guy hiding in the dark and observing him.
Is it above your head
Tang Ning's heart was beating violently, his chest was tense and hot, and fear was draining strength from his body. He slowly raised his head and looked upwards.
Pale white ceiling.
Tang Ning stood still in the room for three seconds. Without waiting for any other strange movements, Tang Ning pretended nothing had happened and walked towards the door.
The sound from upstairs still did not come back, as if it was just a coincidence.
But there are definitely not so many coincidences in the card world. When he was pulling the drawer of the bedside table, the sound appeared once. He lay under the bed to observe, and the sound appeared again. When he decided to leave the room, the sound rang above his head for the third time.
Every time he appears at a moving position, it's as if he is unscrupulously declaring "I know your position very well."
He walked out of the room quickly and bumped into Jiang Mianmian. Seeing that it was Jiang Mianmian, Tang Ning felt a little relieved.
"Did you find anything?" Jiang Mianmian saw that Tangning looked unhappy.
The feeling of being watched still did not go away. Tang Ning wanted to use his phone to type, but the moment he picked up the phone, he felt the annoying feeling of being watched even stronger.
If something hiding in the dark could make a sound.
At this moment, there should be strange laughter.
Tang Ning pulled Jiang Mianmian to another place. He walked very quickly, but he could not get rid of that sight because the whole room was filled with this disgusting thing.
Tang Ning took a deep breath and paused. He simply leaned close to Jiang Mianmian's ear and lowered his voice to tell her what he had discovered.
When Tang Ning mentioned the snake's crawling traces, Jiang Mianmian's expression was relatively calm. However, when Tang Ning said that he felt someone was following him upstairs, Jiang Mianmian turned his head towards Tang Ning and stared at Tang Ning.
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment.
Because at this moment Jiang Mianmian's eyes were extremely focused.
"Do you really think there is someone following you upstairs?" Jiang Mianmian asked word by word.
Tangning nodded and asked hesitantly, "Haven't you ever felt this way before?"
Jiang Mianmian said something that Tangning was not expecting, "My mother had felt the same way before."
Tang Ning couldn't help but think of the half-burned medical report.
Jiang Mianmian did not mention anything about her mother. She pulled Tangning to the bathroom and said to her, "Can you feel anything here?"
The bathroom in Jiang Mianmian's house has a common washbasin, a mirror, and a bathtub.
The bathroom was different from other rooms. Even in a normal house, one could feel a chill seeping from all directions and corners as soon as one entered the bathroom. After Tang Ning walked into the bathroom, the chill he felt was even more obvious. It was as if there was something dark hiding in the corner that they could not see, spying on him all the time.
Tang Ning recalled that according to the diagnosis, Jiang Mianmian's mother's condition seemed to have worsened in the bathroom.
What was this thing? Was Jiang Mianmian's mother really sent to the hospital because of paranoia? Or was there really something in the house? Tangning wasn't sure.
He briefly looked around the bathroom and saw himself in a blue cheongsam in front of the wide mirror.
Tangning had never taken a close look at herself in a cheongsam. She looked at the mirror for a while, and the "her" in the mirror was also looking at Tangning.
"She" is beautiful.
Standing in the frame, it's like a moving painting.
In Jiang Mianmian's home, Tang Ning did not hesitate to guess the worst and speculate about the layout of the house. The mirror easily made people think of a two-way mirror.
A two-way mirror, in which the person cannot see the outside, but can see inside.
There is a method circulating on the Internet about judging a two-way mirror. It is to put your hand on the mirror. If there is a gap between your fingertips and the fingertips in the mirror, then it is an ordinary mirror. If your hand can directly touch the fingertips in the mirror, then it is a two-way mirror.
Tang Ning slowly approached the mirror. As he got closer, the stunning face kept pulling the mirror. If one looked at Tang Ning from a distance, this cheongsam beauty was like a ball of smoke emitting a faint floral fragrance that could neither be grasped nor seen through.
Then as Tang Ning moved closer to the mirror, the mysterious smoke slowly dissipated, revealing an even more breathtaking beauty.
Her slender fingers gently touched the mirror, like a feather touching one's heartstrings. The beauty in the mirror had such a focused expression. After confirming that there was a gap between her fingertips and the image in the mirror, Tang Ning withdrew her hands with a bit of disappointment.
This is just an ordinary mirror, not a two-way mirror, so where does the feeling of being spied on everywhere in the bathroom come from
The disgusting feeling of being spied on became stronger and stronger, giving him goose bumps all over his body. Tang Ning reached out and covered his arms.
This simple action was performed by "her" in an extraordinary way, which made people feel pity. Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but ask; "Are you cold?"
Tangning looked at Jiang Mianmian. She was just as aware of being spied on as he was. Tangning asked, "Don't you feel like the sense of being spied on is getting stronger in this bathroom?"
After Tang Ning finished speaking, Jiang Mianmian did not agree with her.
They looked at each other, and Jiang Mianmian asked in surprise: "Can you still feel that prying feeling now?"
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Mianmian added: "From the living room to my room, and now to the bathroom, has that sense of peeping never stopped?"
Tangning already felt something was wrong, so he nodded again. Jiang Mianmian looked at Tangning and said something that made Tangning's hair stand on end, "Actually, I only felt the spying in the living room at first, and then the feeling disappeared. I thought it left halfway, so..."
That's why she cut the sofa with a chainsaw.
"But I just realized now that it doesn't seem to have left."
Not only did he not understand, he was also extremely interested in Tangning. He was so excited that he didn't even have time to pay attention to Jiang Mianmian.
How could this happen? Why did the monster keep paying attention to him
Tang Ning held the porcelain doll in his hand, trying to gain a sense of security. However, he had already dropped the doll three times. Tang Ning was not sure if the doll would break completely if he dropped it again this time.
Unlike Tang Ning who was frightened, Jiang Mianmian looked surprised, but more excited.
She whispered, "Where do you think it is?"
When she said this, her attitude was just like when she was standing in front of the sofa with a chainsaw and asking Tang Ning where the snake was.
It was just like every time she cooperated with Bai Wuliang, Bai Wuliang would tell her the location and she would kill the monster with one shot.
Tang Ning and Jiang Mianmian looked at each other. He saw desire and trust in Jiang Mianmian's eyes. Jiang Mianmian regarded him as a trustworthy teammate and trusted him as much as she trusted Bai Wuliang.
In this room now, he is the only one who can feel the sense of being spied on. He is also very likely the only player who can feel this strong sense of being spied on and the sound of footsteps. If he cannot provide Jiang Mianmian with the specific location, Jiang Mianmian will be like a blind man living in a trap full of dangers.
Tangning clenched the porcelain doll in his hand and whispered to Jiang Mianmian, "I'll be there for a minute."
I'll give you a moment. Let me think about it.
This guy was not very courageous. At first, when he was sitting on the sofa, something, maybe a snake, touched him. When he actively looked for it, it hid again.
When he entered Jiang Mianmian's bedroom alone, it made strange footsteps and kept following him. When he walked out of the bedroom and met Jiang Mianmian, it hid again.
Finding its exact location, it is more suitable for Tang Ning to stay somewhere alone.
Tangning told Jiang Mianmian her thoughts. Jiang Mianmian lowered her voice and asked, "Can you handle this alone?"
Tangning nodded. He had the porcelain doll as his trump card.
"Then the question becomes how to convey the message." Jiang Mianmian frowned.
Because even if Tang Ning was the only one who knew the monster's location, when Jiang Mianmian came in, the monster could move quickly.
The quickest way to pass messages is to communicate via mobile phone, but they took out their mobile phones before, and even though the signal showed full bars, they couldn't, which meant that the supernatural thing was in this room.
At this moment, there were two knocks on the bathroom door. Tangning and Jiang Mianmian turned around and saw Bai Yingxue standing at the door. She was holding a black box with what looked like antennas on it. As Tangning and Jiang Mianmian stared at her in confusion, Bai Yingxue said, "This looks like a signal jammer."
Tangning was stunned for a moment, a little bit unable to believe what he heard.
Bai Yingxue added: "I turned it off. There should be a signal now."
Tang Ning took out his phone and saw a lot of new messages in the chat group. Players were all asking about the situation inside Jiang Mianmian's house and why Tang Ning and his friends had been here for so long and had not yet left.
Tang Ning had always believed that signal loss was related to the supernatural, and he actually forgot that there was such a scientific thing as a signal jammer.
Jiang Mianmian quickly told the other players in the group about their new discovery, and soon everyone discussed a series of things.
Bai Wuliang: "Tangning felt footsteps coming from upstairs. Is it possible that the monster is not in Jiang Mianmian's house, but in the upstairs neighbor's house?"
Lin Yun: "They stopped men from entering Jiang Mianmian's house. It's probably because of the game's instructions that only girls can enter the house with boys cooperating with them to deal with this monster."
Zhou Kang: "It may not be upstairs, it may be the neighbor next door or downstairs. There are exactly four of us, we can squat at the door of the four neighbors' houses, and wait for you to determine the location, and then we will rush in."
I simply analyzed it in the group and now everything is ready, except for the specific location of the monster.
Lin Yun: "Why is it that only Tangning can sense the spying?"
Jiang Mianmian: "My stepfather is a sex maniac."
After she said this, no one in the group felt strange about it anymore.
Jiang Mianmian put down her phone. She looked at the charming "her" and subconsciously softened her voice. "Which room do you want to be alone in?"
Tangning felt the strongest in the bathroom. Jiang Mianmian's mother also fell ill in the bathroom. If he rashly changed rooms, Tangning was unsure if the monster would continue to follow him. After hesitating for a moment, Tangning asked, "Can you tell me what happened in the bathroom that caused your mother to fall ill?"
"Have you seen the diagnosis?" Jiang Mianmian was silent for a moment before she said, "I don't know either. I'm still young. I only know that she took a bath that day and became mentally ill halfway through."
bath
If he just doesn't take a shower, it shouldn't increase the difficulty of using the bathroom, right
Tangning said to Jiang Mianmian, "I'm right here."
They were afraid of being heard by the monster, so they kept their voices low. Even Men Bai Yingxue couldn't hear their conversation. After Tang Ning made a decision, Jiang Mianmian turned and left, closing the bathroom door for Tang Ning before leaving.
Now Tang Ning was the only one left in the gloomy bathroom.
And there are those eyes hiding in the dark.
Tang Ning didn't dare to stand in front of the mirror. After entering the card world, the mirror easily reminded him of strange things.
It was strange to stand in the bathroom alone. Tang Ning bent down and opened the drawer to take a look. There were simple toiletries, laundry detergent, and a hair dryer inside, but no sign of the snake.
Tang Ning walked to the toilet again, lifted the toilet lid, and there was no snake inside.
Tang Ning walked over to the bathtub. The empty bathtub was clearly visible. It didn't look like a place where a snake would hide.
After pretending to check it, Tang Ning had no idea what he was doing in the bathroom. Was he just standing here waiting for the monster to appear
The sound of trickling water could be heard. Tang Ning looked over and saw that the faucet on the sink was not turned off for some reason and water was trickling down.
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment while thinking.
How did the water suddenly turn on
Who is driving it
The only sound in the dead silent bathroom was Tang Ning's breathing. Blue figures were reflected on the four smooth walls. Tang Ning looked around and those blue figures looked back at him.
Tang Ning was sure that there was something hiding in the dark, staring at him, but he couldn't find that thing.
Tang Ning's whole body was tense, his back was straight. He stood there for a while. The only sound in the bathroom was the running water. Tang Ning took out his phone from his bag and looked at the room. Three minutes had passed since he was alone in the bathroom.
Did he turn it off
Tang Ning slowly turned on the faucet, and the water that came out was normal, clear and cold.
Tang Ning hesitated for a moment. Before he could decide whether to turn it off, the sound of running water suddenly erupted. Tang Ning was startled. He turned his head and saw that the shower head in the bathtub was spraying hot water as if it was out of control.
The hot steam rising from the bathtub dispelled the coldness in the bathroom, but it was unable to dispel the chill that enveloped Tang Ning's heart.
A steady stream of hot water poured onto the surface of the bathtub, causing more water to splash everywhere.
What now
Did he leave the room
Tang Ning retreated to the sink and heard the splashing sound again. He saw that the faucet, which was originally dripping, began to spray hot water like crazy. If he left the bathroom, Tang Ning would definitely be splashed by the water.
Tang Ning could only stand next to the toilet with difficulty. He kept looking at the out-of-control faucets on both sides. A drop of water splashed on Tang Ning's snow-white skin. Tang Ning looked down in panic. There was nothing unusual about the place on his arm where the water dripped. Except that the water was a little hot, which made Tang Ning's delicate skin quickly turn a little red, there was no other impact.
Before Tang Ning could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a loud noise!
"Bang!!!" The water pipe suddenly broke, and a column of hot water hit Tang Ning. It was extremely hot and contained tremendous power. In addition, the ground was wet, and Tang Ning dodged to the side without noticing. His slippers slipped, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The porcelain doll and the phone were both in a bag. The bag was on his back and had not been dropped yet. Tangning subconsciously touched the porcelain doll in the bag. He wanted to throw it on the ground, but the situation was not critical yet. Tangning withdrew his hand and supported himself on the ground with both hands. The cheongsam on his back outlined his thin waist, and his beautiful shoulder blades could not stop trembling.
Ignoring the pain from the hot water, Tang Ning struggled to stand up, but the water pipe that kept gushing out jets of water hit Tang Ning's knee joints and ankles accurately as if someone was controlling it. Tang Ning had just stood up a little when he fell to the ground again.
A little moisture seeped out of the corners of his eyes.
His cheongsam was already soaked, the blue color continued to deepen, the underwear was completely clung to his scalded skin, and his weak and slender legs were unable to move due to the fall and the pain, just like a mermaid who had just been caught by humans and could not control her legs.
Tang Ning tried his best to shrink himself into a corner. He wanted to call for help, but the scalding water shot out at him!
Tang Ning lowered his head in panic, and water drops fell from the ends of his hair like pearls from a broken string. His snow-white face was flushed by the steaming heat.
The bathroom door was slammed open. Hearing the noise, Jiang Mianmian and Bai Yingxue rushed over.
In the narrow bathroom filled with fog, "she" curled up in the corner, her whole body wet, her jet-black hair stuck to her rosy cheeks and neck, her brows were twisted together in pain, and it was unclear whether it was water droplets or tears sliding down "her" face and dripping into the bathroom covered with water droplets.
The whole bathroom mist seemed to be tinged with a faint fragrance.
Jiang Mianmian turned around quickly and ran to turn off the water supply valve.
Bai Yingxue pulled down a thick bath towel hanging on the side and threw it at Tang Ning. Tang Ning caught the towel and draped it over himself, hiding his face under it.
Although the bath towel could block the hot water, its surface was too rough. The scalded skin was rubbed by the bath towel, causing Tang Ning to shed natural tears in pain.
After a while, the sound of flowing water stopped, and Jiang Mianmian successfully closed the valve.
"Can you walk out by yourself?" Bai Yingxue asked Tang Ning while standing at the door.
His hands were already red, so Tang Ning had no choice but to suck his fingers and turn on the Suckle brand to relieve the burns. After the simple treatment with the Suckle brand, the burns healed a lot. Tang Ning opened his bag and found his slightly wet cell phone.
He wiped the wet part of the towel with it and pressed the power button. The phone was still working. Tang Ning lifted the towel and took a look.
It's not Bai Yingxue who is watching the gate.
With eyes covered by fog, I was looking at the bathroom ceiling. On the ceiling above the bathtub, a human figure vaguely emerged.
It seemed like there was a person lying on the ceiling.
Tang Ning's heart was beating wildly. He only dared to take a quick look for fear of alarming the monster.
Tangning hid under the towel again and sent a message to the chat group, "I saw the monster. It's upstairs, above the bathtub in the bathroom. Jiang Mianmian, Bai Yingxue, don't go into the bathroom. I'm worried that it will run away if you pass it."
Jiang Mianmian and Bai Yingxue stopped in their tracks after seeing Tang Ning's message.
Jiang Mianmian: "I'll leave now."
Bai Wuliang: "The door upstairs is a little hard to open. It will take me three minutes."
The bathroom door was closed again.
Tang Ning poked his head out from under his bath towel once again. He looked up at the ceiling above the bathtub and discovered that the material of the ceiling was very special, as smooth as a mirror.
As the mist rose, the ceiling revealed a human figure lying on it. However, as Tang Ning looked at it timidly, the human figure moved a little, as if leaving that position!
How could this be possible! Bai Wuliang and his men could immediately unlock the door and break in!
Tang Ning took off his bath towel, and his wet body was exposed to the air.
The monster that was originally moving stopped and its disgusting and sticky gaze fell on Tang Ning. It seemed to be staring at Tang Ning greedily, unwilling to let go of any corner of Tang Ning's body.
But this scrutiny only lasted ten seconds before the monster started moving again.
— "My stepfather is a porn maniac."
— "All I know is that she took a bath that day and became mentally ill halfway through the bath."
Tang Ning's mind flashed back to what Jiang Mianmian had said. He made up his mind and walked away from the bathtub filled with water.
The crawling monster stopped again, as if waiting for something.
But Tang Ning had a feeling that if he just stood there, the monster would definitely slip away quickly, so he had to give it some sweet treats to keep it hanging.
Tangning was so anxious that she cursed in her heart, what good thing? Did he lift up his cheongsam to tell this monster that there was a surprise under my skirt
As the figure on the ceiling shifted again, Tang Ning's mind flashed back to the prince's special preferences.
He gritted his teeth, with the mentality of trying everything possible, supported himself against the wall with one hand, leaned forward slightly, and raised his foot.
The socks on her feet were already soaked by the water. Tang Ning reached out and took off the socks, revealing her delicate bare feet.
"Her" feet are very beautiful, like carefully carved jade, with a faint pink on her ankles, soles and toes, and her toenails are round and cute, making people want to hold them in their hands and play with them.
A drop of water rolled down the back of the foot.
The sticky and cold gaze fell on Tang Ning's feet and did not move for a long time.
It looks really attracted.
