"How could, how could it be—impossible, impossible!!" The man's eyes were red, his expression crazy, and he kept muttering to himself. One of his hands slammed heavily on the table in front of him, and the other hand was blue. Violently, he kept throwing the things in his hand on the table.
I saw two dice slid out of his palm, and after spinning a few times, they stopped firmly on the table. The two scarlet nine o'clock, like a life-threatening rope, wrapped around the man's neck. His eyes were bulging, his teeth were clenching, and three words were squeezed out from between his teeth: "Impossible— "
So again, and again, and again, he kept throwing—but no matter how many times he rolled, the two dice would only roll nine.
Dangdang, the clock behind him made a sharp chime, and the mad man suddenly stopped, his body was as stiff as a stone sculpture, he slowly turned his head, and saw a blood-red nail polish appear on his shoulder, Hands with pale skin.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It has been almost a week since Lin Banxia and Ji Leshui moved into this house.
This house is the third household on the thirteenth floor. The house number is 1303. It was bought by Lin Banxia with a down payment of 160,000 and 3,000 a month for 30 years. You can buy a house near the city at this price, which is very cost-effective. The only fly in the ointment is that the residential environment of this house is average, but compared with the cheap price, these shortcomings are nothing at all.
Ji Leshui is Lin Banxia's college classmate. The two have always had a good relationship. After graduation, they also shared a lease. After Lin Banxia bought a new house, she invited Ji Leshui to come and live together. Ji Leshui happily agreed.
"Banxia, when are you coming back tonight?"
Because he was on the night shift today, Lin Banxia helped Ji Leshui prepare dinner before he left. He was putting his head down and putting on his shoes, when he heard Ji Leshui ask in a low voice.
"Five or six in the morning." Lin Banxia said, "What's wrong?"
"I... I... Forget it, it's fine." Ji Leshui hesitated, but in the end he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.
"Are you not feeling well?" Lin Banxia looked at her roommate strangely. Ji Leshui had been looking a little nervous these days. He had to say that he heard the person next door coughing, but he didn't hear anything.
"Maybe it's a cold." Ji Leshui smiled with a slightly reluctant expression.
Lin Banxia was worried, "Are you really okay? Then... I'll be back early today."
"Okay." Ji Leshui said, "you... come back early."
With a soft sound of the door closing, Lin Banxia went out.
Ji Leshui sat on the sofa and felt that the whole room was quiet. There was a show on the TV, but the sound made the whole room even more silent. Before Ji Leshui didn't understand what went wrong, until last night, he stayed in the house and was in a panic, and went to the downstairs community alone.
Turning around, Ji Leshui suddenly found that there was no sound at all in the entire community, no insects, no human voice, and a few dim yellow street lamps shone among the dense trees, casting mottled and strange shadows. When he raised his head and glanced at the building where they lived, a layer of white sweat immediately appeared on his back. The building was actually completely dark, no lights could be seen, the tall building looked like a lonely mountain in the night, exuding a gloomy cold air.
Ji Leshui stared at the building and shivered, and suddenly realized that there were hardly any people living in this small community, and there were almost no lights in the only three buildings. His eyes wandered among the dark buildings, and finally found a window that was lit, and his stuffy chest finally sighed in relief.
"Isn't this someone living in?" Ji Leshui joked with himself and whispered to himself, "Maybe the place is too far, so the occupancy rate is not high..."
However, before the words in his mouth were finished, a black silhouette appeared in front of the lit window. Because it was against the light, Ji Leshui could not see clearly. He could only vaguely see from the silhouette, It was recognized that it was a woman, who was standing by the window and looking out.
Ji Leshui was going to pass under that window, but for some reason, his footsteps suddenly stopped. A human instinct stopped him from moving forward, prompting him to stop.
The sky was so dark that he couldn't see the woman's appearance, but could only vaguely see that the woman stretched out a pair of snow-white arms and gently pushed open the window in front of him.
What does she open the window for? It's so windy tonight and so... cold, Ji Leshui thought in confusion.
The next moment, his doubts were answered. The woman pushed open the window and paused for a moment in front of the window. Then, she jumped and jumped down!
"Touch!!!" With a piercing loud noise, Ji Leshui watched helplessly as a person turned into a fragmented corpse in front of his eyes. The blood seemed to turn into pitch-black water against the backdrop of the night, splashing Ji Leshui all over.
"Ah!!!!" Witnessing the terrifying scene in front of him, Ji Leshui let out a scream, turned around and ran away, but as soon as he turned around, he felt that something was firmly grasping the corner of his clothes. , staggered a few steps under his feet, and fell to the ground in an embarrassment.
"Ah!!!!" He had never seen a dead person so close. Ji Leshui was so frightened that he almost collapsed. He fell to the ground and kept backing up until his back leaned against a tree by the roadside. , then stopped.
"Dead, dead!!" Ji Leshui screamed hoarsely. He wanted to ask for help from the people around him, but in the dark community, it was like a tomb of the living dead, and he was the only one left.
"Leshui? Leshui, are you alright?" A vague voice came, driving away the chill from his body. Ji Leshui, who was curled up in a ball, raised his head blankly and saw a familiar face. It was his friend, Lin Banxia.
Lin Banxia seemed to be back from the night shift, and she looked the same as when the two parted in the afternoon. At this time, she was holding onto his shoulders and asked him worriedly what was wrong.
"Yes, someone jumped off the building." Ji Leshui grabbed Lin Banxia's arm and pointed to the front with a trembling, "Dead, died in front."
"Jumping off the building?" Lin Banxia was a little puzzled, he hesitated, "Is it right in front?"
"Yes, yes." Ji Leshui nodded hurriedly.
Lin Banxia looked up at the trail in front of her for a moment, then shook her head, "I didn't see it."
Ji Leshui was also anxious when he heard the words, and barely stood up from the ground with trembling legs, but his feet were still a little weak, so Lin Banxia supported him and took two steps forward.
The dark trail stretched towards the distance. Although it was not very clear, it could still be seen that there was no blood on it, let alone a corpse.
"What, gone?" Ji Leshui asked blankly, not so much asking Lin Banxia, but asking himself.
"What's wrong?" Lin Banxia reached out and touched Ji Leshui's forehead, "Are you all right?"
Ji Leshui shook his head heavily, trying to wake himself up. He looked up at the building next to him, but found that the window that was lit just now was gone, as if everything that happened not long ago was just his hallucination .
"How could this be." Ji Leshui said blankly.
"What did you see?" Lin Banxia asked.
"I saw someone jumping off the building upstairs." Ji Leshui said, "he jumped in front of me from there... blood... blood was splattered on me."
After he finished speaking, afraid that Lin Banxia would not believe it, he pulled the corner of his clothes again: "It's here, it's here."
However, through the dim street light, he saw that his white coat was not stained, and the bloodstain just now disappeared without a trace.
The atmosphere fell silent.
At this moment, Lin Banxia gently pressed Ji Leshui's shoulder and said warmly, "It's okay, let's go back first, I bought a lot of pork, let's eat something first."
Ji Leshui nodded silently.
The two walked back together slowly, and when they got downstairs, Ji Leshui only remembered to ask Lin Banxia why he came back early.
"I've got a job, and I'll come right back after I'm done." Lin Banxia said, "I stopped by the supermarket and bought some pork at a discount."
"Oh." Ji Leshui responded in a low voice.
"This pork is really getting more and more expensive." Lin Banxia said, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat pork yesterday, did you have dinner today?"
"Eat." Ji Leshui's response was still very slow.
Seeing him like this, Lin Banxia thought that he might be frightened, so she found some other topics to chat with Ji Leshui, and just walked all the way to talk, when she got home, Ji Leshui's The frightened body finally recovered.
Ji Leshui wiped his forehead and felt a cold water stain on his forehead. He sighed and said in a low voice, "I was really scared to death just now. I thought someone really jumped off the building in front of me."
"Maybe I just lost something." Lin Banxia said, "You read it wrong."
"Really?" Ji Leshui smiled reluctantly, "Banxia, we have also moved in for a week. Why can't we see a few people in this community?"
Lin Banxia said: "The previous owner said it was a new community and no one lived there."
Ji Leshui said: "But this person is too few."
Lin Banxia said, "It's a little bit."
The two happened to get out of the elevator, turned around and entered the corridor, just in time to see a door beside their house being slammed shut.
"Hey? A neighbor?" Ji Leshui asked curiously, "When did you move in?"
"Maybe... just these few days?~" Lin Banxia also felt strange.
"It's good to have a neighbor." Ji Leshui wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and exhaled, "Otherwise, it would be scary enough for the two of us in such a building."
Lin Banxia smiled gently and nodded slightly.
