Chapter 60: Breaking Ground 17 ┃ Wangfu's Revenge

Views:

The red whistle whistles alone in the dark, the whistle is sometimes sharp, sometimes low, and sometimes like a whisper, like a cry of sorrow...

No matter what the tone of voice is, there is something strange about it.

After about half an hour, the whistle suddenly stopped.

This sudden silence seemed to be secretly brewing something, but it was even more creepy.

The piercing scream of Salix suddenly came from the 410 next door, and the scream was accompanied by a roar similar to that of a beast. No one could guess what happened in the room.

"Help! Help me!" Shaliu's sharp cry was insignificant in the roar of the beast, and the sound of gnawing on something gradually came from the room.

Hearing the chilling gnawing sound, Ke Xun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The pain and fear caused by beasts are different from ghosts, and the pain and fear are real and naked.

"It's like the sound of a canine animal." Mu Yiran maintained his usual calm.

There was a sound of metal collision in the next room, like Salix fighting back, and then the door next door opened. From the small window of 411, it can be clearly seen that the blood-covered Salix stumbled out. , but behind him, a huge and fierce wolf sprang up - Ke Xun rubbed his eyes, and felt that the wolf was a bit like a dog.

"Help! Help!" Although Sha Liu kept shouting for help, his eyes were full of despair. Ke Xun suddenly discovered that Sha Liu's left forearm seemed to be missing, and the blood flowed like a stream from the elbow.

The giant wolf doesn't seem to want to kill the prey directly. Today's biting is more like a game. It opens its huge mouth and drags the Salix in its mouth. It seems to be enjoying the other party's screams.

Shaliu finally knocked on the door of 411, but this time, what he called out was not help, but: "You all die! You all have to die! No one can get out alive!"

Ke Xun and Mu Yiran directly ignored the curse outside. At this moment, they separated into two rooms, waiting for the vision of Room 411 to appear.

Sure enough, after the door rang, Ke Xun, who was standing in the living room, saw a woman walking out of the bedroom, wearing those striking red slippers on her feet.

Although this scene was very strange, Ke Xun still didn't want to let go of any clues and kept his eyes fixed on this woman.

The other party seemed to be unable to see Ke Xun, so he walked to the chest of drawers with a natural expression, opened the last floor, and took out a cloth bag from inside - this bag Ke Xun had seen before, and he had also opened it when he was looking for the seal before, but it was inside. They were all old clothes, so I didn't look at them carefully.

The woman seemed to have found something from the bag, looked at it and put it back, then got up and went back to the bedroom.

When Ke Xun rushed back to the bedroom, the woman had disappeared.

The room returned to darkness again.

The screams of Shaliu outside the window continued, and the sound was gradually fading away.

There seemed to be something left in the corridor outside the door, and Ke Xun couldn't see it clearly, but he could probably guess that it was the stump of a sausage in a pool of blood.

"The whistle is gone." Mu Yiran's eyes turned to the place where the whistle was hung before.

"Who took the whistle?" It would never be the wolf-like beast.

The whistle probably completed its mission, the mission of some kind of summoned beast...

Almost two hours later, I can still hear the moaning of Shaliu from time to time. Speaking of those who died a few nights ago, Shaliu is probably the most painful death.

A whistle pierced the night sky, and the familiar hoarse old man's voice came again: "Wangfu-you finally know that you are home-"

When Ke Xun woke up, the sky was bright, and Mu Yiran had already gotten up and went out.

Ke Xun went out and found that the bloodstains and stumps from last night had also been cleaned up.

In the courtyard, everyone stood beside the corpse covered with white cloth, including Xin Miao, who was already insane, who was dancing happily around the corpse of Salix.

The old man Li Taiyong pulled Xin Miao aside and gave her a lollipop to eat.

Wei Dong had been retching beside him, and saw Ke Xun: "Fortunately you got up late, you didn't see the corpses thrown all over the building..."

Ke Xun frowned, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could imagine it.

Qin Ci said, "I just don't understand why the body turns white, and even the hair turns white."

"Because of the backlash in this room caused by her knocking on the door," Zhu Haowen answered the question, "The room where she lived in 410 was originally the room of the albino patient, and that woman also died of albinism, so she was knocking on the door. Then the body mutates."

Wei Dong vomited again: "I said how can those corpses be so white..."

In the end, Shaliu's body was carried out by people, and the stretcher trembled, making people worried that a stump would be left behind...

The uncle of the concierge walked over with the key: "Everyone is here, let's talk about 307."

Finally got to talk about 307.

"307 used to live in a cripple Liu, and Lao Liu is a good man. Although his legs are not good, he didn't find a wife, but he is diligent and capable, and his ideological awareness is also high. The money saved has been used to fund those poor primary schools. It is impossible not to mention Wangfu, that is the stray puppy that Lao Liu took in at the beginning. It has been 17 or 18 years since he was raised. One person and one dog depend on each other for life.

"When the gang of beasts from the factory came to us to chase people, they thought that Lao Liu was good at talking, so he picked up the persimmons and squeezed them softly, letting Lao Liu play an exemplary role and be the first to move! Wang Fu watched Lao Liu being shoved by those people. , I was in a hurry and bit the deputy director's leg in one bite. This time, I was in trouble. Although the clothes were thick at the time and the leg was not bitten, the deputy director refused to do it...

"The deputy director didn't say anything at the time, but Wang Fu was lost the next day, but it made Lao Liu anxious. Wang Fu was like his own child to him. I went out to look for Wang Fu and made my voice hoarse. In the past, Wang Fu would come out as soon as he heard Lao Liu's whistle or Lao Liu knocking on the dog's bowl...

"After several days, someone found Wangfu between the Tongzilou and the outer circle of cement walls. The old dog was killed by those people and chopped up several pieces by those people, throwing it in pieces. .

"We didn't dare to tell Lao Liu, for fear that he couldn't bear it. Lao Liu couldn't find Wangfu when he died. This is probably his knot."

It turned out that the person who wanted revenge was not Lao Liu, but Wang Fu.

As for why the red whistle appeared in front of the 410, it is always a mystery.

Could it be that Lao Liu sensed the murderous aura of 410 at that time? - Shaliu's guidance to Qiu Lu is actually a kind of death guidance, in other words, Shaliu is the murderer who killed Qiu Lu.

"But, how did that dog appear in 410?" Wei Dong asked.

"Because the window outside 410 was open, the dog's body was thrown into the narrow gap in the concrete wall, so the ghost of Wangfu climbed up from there..." Ke Xun said.

The concierge suddenly raised his head and looked above, because the gathering of the roofs made the light of the whole package less bright. In fact, the diameter of the patio entrance was only five or six meters, and everyone seemed to be sealed in a small jar.

The concierge showed a relieved expression: "I think the momentum is gratifying, maybe tomorrow will break the ground! You all hurry to eat! Breaking the ground is a good thing! Let's all go out!"

The concierge said and waved to Xinmiao again: "Your 215 screens have been repaired, and they will be replaced in two days!"

Xin Miao didn't quite understand, but just smiled at the doorman.

At this time, everyone was not in the mood to eat, Qin Ci looked up and looked up: "Could it be that the ground is broken ahead of schedule?"

"NPC shouldn't lie, probably because we triggered some conditions that caused the ground breaking ahead of schedule." Mu Yiran couldn't figure out the reason for a while.

Wei Dong said, "If there is a total closure before the ground breaking, we will probably be suffocated to death, but aren't these people afraid?"

Mu Yiran looked at Xin Miao not far away: "Xin Miao already belongs to one of them, so he should not be afraid."

Wei Dong suddenly found out that Xin Miao had changed into a red dress at some point: "Could it be that... the other people living in this bungalow are all... "

"They're all from the soil." Zhu Haowen replied directly.

"If it's really like what the NPC said, the ground breaking will be completed tomorrow, then the state of total closure before the ground breaking will occur today," Ke Xun analyzed the current situation, "If we can't find the seal today, it is estimated that everyone will be It's getting cold here."

Now there are six people left: Mu Yiran, Ke Xun, Wei Dong, Qin Ci, Zhu Haowen, and the old man Li Taiyong.

The old man Li Taiyong came over: "I will accompany you to find it."

But no one moved the place, and we have searched where we should be looking, but now we don't know where to start.

Zhu Haowen was the first to say: "I always think it has something to do with the opening of the patio. After all, the tips of bamboo shoots will form there."

"But it's not a rooftop after all, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to climb to the entrance of the patio." Qin Ci expressed doubts.

"When the deformation reaches a certain level, our outer wall window on the sixth floor is equivalent to the top of a bamboo shoot. We just need to break the window glass and we should be able to do it!" Zhu Haowen expressed his thoughts.

"It's not too late," Mu Yiran suddenly said, "You guys go to the sixth floor. Ke Xun and I will go back to 411. There were some visions in the room last night, maybe it's related to a big event."

Ke Xun looked at the old man Li Taiyong: "Old man, follow us too, after all, the sixth floor is too high."

So, the six people are divided into two groups, three people go to 616, and three people go to 411.

Mu Yiran asked Ke Xun along the way, "What vision did you see last night?"

After all, I was in Room 411 last night, and it might not be safe to openly discuss those visions, so I'll leave it to the day.

Ke Xun talked about the woman he saw yesterday, and suddenly looked at Mu Yiran: "Could it be that what you saw is different from me?"

"It's not the same, I saw the woman walk into the bedroom from the living room, took out the pen and paper, and started to draw her portrait facing the mirror." Mu Yiran said what she saw last night.

"In other words, that woman can draw?" Ke Xun thought that the word "painting" was very sensitive in the painting.

"Yes, it looks like a very professional sketch."

The old man Li Taiyong said directly: "I have slow legs and feet, you two go up and find it first!"

So, the two went straight to 411, first went to open the grid under the chest of drawers, and found the big cloth bag inside. Sure enough, they found a hand-stitched cloth school bag among several hand-knitted sweaters and pants, which contained some letters.

Life was at stake, and no matter what was hidden at this time, the two divided the letters and began to open them one by one.

Most of the letters were from abroad, and the two gradually learned from the letters that the woman's husband had been studying abroad a few years ago, studying oil painting.

Because of economic reasons, the man has not returned to China for many years, and the woman lives in China alone with her son, living in the Chunsun Dormitory 411 in front of her.

Seeing that the husband and wife were very in love with each other, Ke Xun also vaguely understood what the word "return" on the desk meant.

The two read the letters one by one, but there was no letter in the bottom envelope. There were a lot of notes inside. Ke Xun poured them all out and looked at them one by one. Written - The two seem to be high school classmates, and they are still at the same table, so they often pass notes to each other during class.
