Chapter 58: Breaking the ground 15 ┃ jumping out of the window

Views:

Ke Xun benefited from it in his heart, but he was still tense in his heart, until the old man did the same thing to 616, and then slowly left, he was relieved.

The old man didn't go downstairs, and he didn't know where he was going. Perhaps, as Mu Yiran said, the old man himself was a kind of field.

Just when Ke Xun was about to lie down and take a nap, there was a sudden knock on the door from 410 next door. This knock on the door was very strange and almost unexpected.

Then, there was another miserable scream from next door.

The scream was familiar, it seemed to come from Salix.

The originally relaxed heart suddenly became tense again. Ke Xun walked to the window lightly, only to find that there was no one in front of the door of 410.

Then there was another scream of horror next door, Sha Liu and Qiu Lu's voices came one after another, and there were all kinds of noises in the room, I don't know what danger they encountered inside.

Finally, Ke Xun heard the sound of the big window next door opening, it was the big window facing the concrete wall...

At dawn, the first thing everyone did when they rushed out of the door was to look down at the railings to see if there were dead bodies covered with white cloths in the courtyard.

At first glance, Ke Xunba found that everything was normal in the yard, and his heart was relieved for a while, but it quickly became complicated.

Mu Yiran's eyes were fixed on something hanging on the clothesline in front of door 410 - it was a plastic red whistle tied with a dirty thin nylon rope.

Although it was daytime, the blood-red whistle made people more terrifying. Sha Liu opened the door and came out, obviously also startled by the whistle.

"What's going on? This must have been left by that ghost last night!" Sha Liu looked at the whistle that was swaying slightly in the wind, and walked around very shyly, "Why should the whistle be tied to our door?! "

Mu Yiran's voice was cold: "Because someone knocked on your door last night, probably just to leave you the whistle."

Sha Liu was frightened by this statement, and heard Ke Xun ask again, "What happened to you last night? Where's Qiu Lu?"

Sha Liu shuddered: "Qiu Lu? The knock on the door last night was so terrifying, it seemed that someone entered our house and knocked over a lot of things... Qiu Lu, she, jumped from the fourth-floor window... "

Ke Xun's first reaction was to rush into 410. Looking down from the open window, the black and gray concrete wall still stood cramped in front of him. The distance of half an arm was enough for one person to jump. Below, nothing was seen.

"Did someone enter your room last night?" Mu Yiran's tone was somewhat questioning.

Shaliu swallowed and nodded.

"What happened? What were you doing after Qiu Lu jumped off?"

"I... don't know anything," Sha Liu shook his head and looked at the red whistle swaying in front of the house, "I fainted, and it was already dawn when I woke up."

Mu Yiran looked at Sha Liu with exploratory eyes, but said nothing.

Everyone went downstairs and gathered in the courtyard. Wei Dong and Zhu Haowen finally came down, and Wei Dong was still complaining there: "If you make a big mess with a big body and a big face, I will not finish with him! I said how to give the curtains We picked up…”

Before Wei Dong could finish his words, suddenly several people walked in with a corpse covered in white cloth. Everyone's heart sank. Qin Ci asked, "How did the corpse come in from outside?"

The person carrying the corpse said, "The corpse was found at the base of the concrete wall. Check to see if it is yours."

Everyone subconsciously took a step back, especially Shaliu, who hid in the distance and did not dare to come.

In the end, Qin Ci lifted the white cloth: "It's Qiu Lu."

Julu eventually died.

"Did he fall to his death?" Ke Xun asked.

Qin Ci's expression was a little puzzled, and he lifted all the white cloths for an overall inspection.

Mu Yiran also stepped forward, and Ke Xun followed. Everyone has experienced too many life and death, and now facing the corpse has long lost the previous fear and resistance.

Qiu Lu's expression was very calm, if it weren't for the loss of breath, it would seem like she was asleep at this time.

Qiu Lu's body was covered in dirt, and the whole person seemed to be pulled out of the dirt, and the clothes and shoes were also filled with dirt.

Qin Ci gently pressed Qiu Lu's chin, and found that the other party's mouth was also full of dirt, and when he turned to look at his ears, the ears were also full of dirt.

The soil is very soft, and there are roots of plants mixed with it, and occasionally a worm or two crawls out.

"No wonder we didn't hear the sound of her jumping off the building last night. It turned out that she was buried in the ground." Ke Xun's eyes looked at Shaliu hiding in the distance, his eyes were cold.

"Okay, carry it out." The porter's voice sounded.

Soon, Qiu Lu's body was carried out of the gate again.

Wei Dong looked at the people present: "Where is Xin Miao?"

It was only then that everyone discovered that Xin Miao had not shown up since dawn.

"Go to 402 to see." Mu Yiran took the lead upstairs, and everyone followed.

Except for Zhu Haowen and Sha Liu.

Zhu Haowen's eyes lifted from the phone: "Why don't you go?"

Shaliu insisted in a tough tone: "Didn't you go too?"

Zhu Haowen looked at Shaliu with complicated eyes, didn't speak any more, and continued to play games with his head down.

Shaliu turned around and went upstairs, his steps a little impatient.

The door of 402 was locked all the time, but no one answered the door. In the end, several people broke it open, but the room was empty.

"Xin Miao? Are you there?" Wei Dong called out twice, but didn't respond.

Room 402, as before, was covered with traces of the fire. Two-thirds of the wooden planks on a large bed were burnt to black, and Xin Miao's single mattress was placed on the innermost wall against the wall.

I don't know how this girl spent two horrible nights alone.

In the bedroom, the large window facing the cement wall was completely open, and Mu Yiran stepped forward: "Here is the person."

Xin Miao was stuck in the narrow gap between the second and third floors. Perhaps the concrete wall was not so straight, and some places were uneven. People jumped from it and got stuck in the middle.

"People are still alive." Mu Yiran's words made everyone feel refreshed, only Shaliu was getting farther and farther away from everyone, and his face was getting paler.

Saving people may be more troublesome, but in the end Ke Xun volunteered to let people use ropes to tie their waists, and then slowly climb down. Another rope tied Xinmiao's waist, and only then did they save people little by little.

Xin Miao was stunned, eyes blank.

"This child is frightened." The old man Li Taiyong also followed everyone up because he was worried.

If she guessed correctly, Xin Miao should have jumped out of the window when the old man appeared in front of the window last night because she was afraid. After all, she was stuck in the narrow slit in the dark for almost the whole night. Can't go up and down, cramped and suffocated, terrifying.

No matter what everyone said, Xin Miao was dumbfounded.

Wei Dong suddenly got a little angry: "Why did she jump out of the window?"

What answered him was the silence of the crowd and Xin Miao's sluggishness.

"Ya Fen also knocked on the door of 402 the night before tomorrow. The sense of horror is no less than last night. Xin Miao never thought about jumping out of the window at that time, so why didn't he jump out of the window last night?!" Wei Dong always felt that something was wrong. Strange.

Ke Xun looked at Sha Liu who was standing at the door: "It's no coincidence that Qiu Lu also jumped out of the window last night. - Sometimes it's like this, when there is no way to retreat, people may be able to hold their teeth and hold on. road, then most people will choose to retreat to the end of the back road."

Sha Liu was suddenly angry and stared at Ke Xun: "What are you looking at me for? I didn't let them jump out of the window! We just discussed jumping out of the window because of fear."

Wei Dong walked directly to Sha Liu: "Then why don't you jump?!"

Sha Liu was forced to take two steps back by Wei Dong, and suddenly burst into tears: "I'm afraid too! I dare not jump! What are you doing? Are you trying to force me to jump too?!"

There was a burst of giggling from the room, and it was actually Xin Miao.

Xin Miao stood up with a smile, as if she couldn't see everyone, hummed a song and walked out the door, doing a few very professional ballet poses in the corridor, and then ran and jumped all the way downstairs.

Xin Miao is crazy.

Everyone went downstairs one after another.

The concierge waited for everyone with a big key plate: "The lock of 402 has been repaired, and the key has been collected."

"Why do you accept keys? 402 still lives there!" Wei Dong said.

"nobody."

"But..." Wei Dong looked at Xin Miao dancing on the second floor, "We haven't checked out yet!"

As if he hadn't heard, the concierge pointed out his finger and started counting the number of people: "There are seven people in total, all of them are ready, let's eat quickly."

Ke Xun looked at the people around him. There were indeed seven people, but if Xin Miao was included, there should be eight people.

Everyone seemed to think of something, but no one said anything.

Wei Dong's eyes were a little red, and Ke Xun stepped forward and put his arms around Wei Dong's shoulder: "Xin Miao's journey in the painting is over."

Wei Dong looked at Xin Miao on the second floor: "But obviously people are still there, they can breathe and dance!"

"But in the real world, Xin Miao is already dead." Qin Ci's tone was also very heavy.

"Maybe this is also a relief." Ke Xun dragged Wei Dong into the restaurant.

In the end, everyone had to accept this fact and silently entered the restaurant for dinner.

Shaliu seemed to quickly adjust his mood and cleared his throat at the dining table: "Don't you think it's strange? The concierge did not tell us about 307 today."

Everyone also finds it strange. According to the usual practice, after the accident last night, the concierge will call everyone to talk about what happened in the room before the accident, or it can be said to be the origin of the death last night.

And this kind of speech is often carried out before breakfast, but today is an exception.

"This can only mean one thing," Zhu Haowen chewed the steamed bun expressionlessly, "the death last night had nothing to do with 307."

Everyone is obviously surprised by this inference, but after thinking about it, it seems to be the only reasonable explanation.

"Then how did the two of them die?" Wei Dong asked directly.

"If I scared myself, I was scared to death." Zhu Haowen remained expressionless.

But Sha Liu didn't want to stop on this issue, and directly analyzed: "If the 307 matter is not resolved, will it be done again tonight?"

Everyone remembered the giant face outside the window last night, a little scared, and a little impatient.

Shaliu continued: "There was no death summoning event last night. Is it possible that if no door is knocked, then the horror events of the previous night will continue in an infinite loop?"

Ke Xun sneered, knocking on the egg in his hand, and said nothing. -Salyu is trying to confirm to everyone that the reason why the NPC did not explain the death was because no member knocked on the door to summon him last night, not because of anything else...

"This statement seems to be in line with the rules," Zhu Haowen glanced at Sha Liu, "It's just that the old man last night did no real harm to people. Unless there is an enhanced version tonight, he will really enter an infinite loop of dead ends. "

"The horror room is secondary, the important thing is to break the ground," Mu Yiran's voice sounded, "We have been here for four days. If you guess correctly, the ground breaking should be completed on the seventh day."

Yes, breaking the ground is the biggest event in the whole painting.

Zhu Haowen said: "616 has become more deformed, the house is no longer a cube, and the entire patio mouth has been clearly gathered with the naked eye."

"However, we have searched all the places we should be looking for." Qin Ci said.

"You can't be too hasty about this," Li Taiyong also said, "Did Xiao Ke'er discover some bamboo shoots yesterday? There must be horns and nooks and crannies that I haven't found before."
