"Idiot, you're either a human or a ghost... Ah! No way!" Cheng Peng exclaimed as soon as he finished speaking.
"That's right!" Zhang Yi smiled evilly, approaching everyone step by step, as if he was possessed by a ghost in a dangerous building, his voice became deeper and deeper: "I feel so lonely in the building alone..."
Everyone was silent, and subconsciously took a step back, looking at Zhang Yi with uncomfortable expressions. Zhang Yi admired the horrified expressions of everyone and finally burst out laughing.
Lang Zhijia understood, punched Zhang Yi, and said angrily: "How dare you kid to play tricks on me!"
Others were relieved and smiles returned to their faces.
Zhang Yi patted Lang Zhijia on the shoulder and said enthusiastically: "Speaking of which, my friends have long been tired of playing elsewhere. How about we go explore this dangerous building?"
Several people around him applauded, but Ren Zhifei said uneasily: "Isn't this bad? Will it be dangerous?"
Lang Zhijia smiled and said: "Zhifei, are you afraid?"
Ren Zhifei's face turned red and he hurriedly defended: "Who's scared? I mean we'll come over after dinner, and now I'm still hungry."
"Okay!" Zhang Yi immediately agreed and praised: "Zhifei has a good idea. It's more fun to explore at night. That's it!"
When Ren Zhifei thought about the evening, he couldn't help but regret it, but everyone agreed and it was hard for him to raise any objections. While everyone was discussing, Ren Zhifei secretly turned back and glanced at Weilou again. The dangerous building stood there as always, exuding an air of decay and decay in the silence. Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and a low whistle came from the dilapidated doorway, like weeping and complaining. Ren Zhifei shuddered and couldn't help but look at the window on the thirteenth floor. Fortunately, the window was still dark and there was nothing abnormal. Maybe it was just an illusion before.
Ren Zhifei felt a little relieved and looked away from the dangerous building.
Everyone agreed on a gathering time, walked for a while, and finally parted ways.
The sky was getting darker again, and Ren Zhifei was regretting his previous decision. The crowds of people on the road gradually became thinner, so Ren Zhifei turned into an alley and could reach home in another two or three minutes' walk.
There was a sudden sound in the alley, like the sound of an empty can falling to the ground. Ren Zhifei followed the sound and saw a black cat jumping out. The black cat has a strong figure, its fur is shiny, and its green eyes are staring at Ren Zhifei.
Ren Zhifei usually liked animals, and the appearance of the black cat made him happy, and all the worries he had just forgotten were forgotten. He approached with gentle steps, wanting to tease the black cat. Seeing Ren Zhifei approaching, the black cat suddenly stood up, its expression became alert, and hissed in its mouth. Ren Zhifei didn't know that this was the black cat entering a defensive posture, and he reached out to touch it.
The black cat's fur suddenly exploded, and it screamed "meow" and slapped Ren Zhifei with its claws. Only then did Ren Zhifei realize that something was wrong. It was too late to take back his hand. He saw a black shadow passing over the back of his hand, and three bright red scratches appeared on it.
Ren Zhifei was so frightened that he fell on his back, and the back of his hand was in burning pain. Looking again at this time, the black cat has long disappeared. Ren Zhifei couldn't find the culprit, so he had to admit that he was unlucky and walked home with his bloody hands.
As soon as he entered the house, his mother Chen Li was frightened by the bloody hand. She asked what had happened and dragged Ren Zhifei to the epidemic prevention station to get a rabies vaccine without saying a word. The sun was setting in the west. At this time, the epidemic prevention station had long been closed. The mother and son stared at the door, and finally had to return the way they came. Along the way, my mother would inevitably scold Ren Zhifei.
"I told you to stay away from those wild cats and dogs. It's okay now. Let's see if you have a long memory in the future..."
This back and forth lasted for almost an hour, and Ren Zhifei was so hungry that he felt dizzy. Fortunately, his mother's endless nagging lost its previous power. Anyway, I couldn't hear clearly what my mother was saying, so I just nodded.
"... Pay more attention to me in the future, you know?"
Ren Zhifei nodded.
"The college entrance examination is coming soon, can you focus on studying!"
Keep nodding.
"By the way, your dad has to work overtime this holiday and the tour is cancelled."
Nodding... Well, something seems wrong. Ren Zhifei suddenly woke up and protested: "Isn't that what we agreed!"
"The plan can't keep up with the changes! But it's okay. Prepare well for the college entrance examination. Now you should focus on your studies." His mother's earnest teachings did not influence Ren Zhifei, but what could he say as a child? Seeing that Ren Zhifei was silent, her mother just accepted Ren Zhifei's acquiescence and nodded with satisfaction.
The sky has turned completely dark, and the stars are shining all over the sky. The lights on the streets have begun to light up, echoing the starry sky. Ren Zhifei couldn't help but ask: "Well... what time is it?"
"It's almost seven o'clock. Alas, dinner is already cold when we get home." Mother replied casually.
"Let's go home quickly!" Ren Zhifei quickened his pace.
The mother asked strangely: "Why are you so anxious?"
Ren Zhifei subconsciously replied: "I made an appointment with Zhang Yi to go exploring in the evening."
"What!" The mother's voice suddenly became an octave higher.
Ren Zhifei secretly screamed, he was so hungry that his brain would short-circuit, how could he tell the truth! Ren Zhifei racked his brains to save himself, but could only hold back half a sentence, "Just go out for a while..."
"Don't go out! If you go home and get caught by a wild cat like this, you can't pay back if you go out at night!" The mother refused, took Ren Zhifei's hand and dragged him back home. During dinner, his mother still kept scolding him, which made Ren Zhifei miserable. He knew that he would definitely not be able to go out tonight.
After closing the door, Ren Zhifei finally got a moment of peace, fumbled for his cell phone and wanted to say something to Zhang Yi. When I dialed the phone, I heard a female voice coming from inside.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service."
Ren Zhifei had no choice but to call other people's numbers. His phone was either shut down or turned off, but he couldn't contact anyone. Ren Zhifei looked at the alarm clock on the table. It was already a quarter past eight. The agreed time was eight o'clock, and I thought these guys were already in the dangerous building.
"Is it because the signal there is not good?"
Ren Zhifei found such a reason for himself, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Everything went really wrong today. The vacation trip was cancelled, the appointment we promised to go on an adventure together was missed, and we even got scratched by a wild cat. Ren Zhifei felt depressed and fell onto the bed. Maybe he was tired, but after a while, he fell asleep.
A slender flashlight light penetrated the darkness, scanning the surroundings as he walked forward step by step. The light of the flashlight fell to the ground, and there were messy footprints on the dusty ground, some shallow or deep, intertwined into a chaotic picture. The light turned upside down, sweeping across the cobweb-covered corners and shining toward the ceiling. Dark and unknown traces gather above like dark clouds, and from time to time a deep and long crack cuts through, like lightning interlaced in the thunderstorm night sky.
The light of the flashlight slowly retracted, illuminating Zhang Yi's nervous face. He was alone at the moment, and the darkness behind him stretched its dangerous embrace.
"Where have everyone else gone? Where is this?" Zhang Yi said to himself with a trembling voice. He felt that the warmth of early summer was being drained out of the dangerous building, and even the echoes were filled with a chill.
Zhang Yi used his flashlight to take pictures in front of him again, and suddenly he spotted a figure.
"Who?" Zhang Yi tried his best to control his voice and asked carefully: "Lang Zhijia? Or Wu Xiaofeng?"
The figure was silent, just standing there. Zhang Yi felt inexplicably that he was staring at him.
"Want to scare me? It's not that easy! I want to see if you are a human or a ghost!" Zhang Yi bravely raised his flashlight and shined a light on the figure...
Under the night, everything is quiet. Only the bright moon hangs high, and the cold moonlight outlines the outline of the city. A scream suddenly sounded in the dangerous building, echoing in the dark space for a long time.
"ah!"
Ren Zhifei screamed and stood up from the bed. The light from the window illuminated his sweaty face.
"It turned out to be a dream." Ren Zhifei scratched his head and muttered to himself. I looked at the time. It was past six in the morning, but the light outside was not as bright as expected. A crackling sound hit the window sill. There were traces of transparent threads hanging on the glass windows, which quickly converged into one, giving the transparent windows an extra layer of twisted ripples.
"It's raining." Ren Zhifei looked out the window. The water-logged streets were covered with water splashes. Pedestrians were holding umbrellas or walking in raincoats. The whole city was soaked in dark colors due to the rain. It was as if the heavy rain had washed away the city's pretense, revealing its inherent gloom.
