Xiaogu Huaiyu and the others tried other methods, but they couldn't open the door.
An Jiu viciously scratched the door with his claws, and instantly there was an inconspicuous scratch on the door.
It was at this time that Xiaogu Huaiyu and the others noticed an unobvious place.
At the place where the door shaft was connected, some traces like scratches could be vaguely seen inside. Because of the angle, it was not very clear, but they still saw this.
Just when they wanted to take a closer look, footsteps came from the top of the stairs.
The sound of walking was a little calm, and it sounded a bit like the footsteps of a woman downstairs.
Because of my fat body, my voice is heavy when I walk.
About their movement upstairs was a bit big, so they led the woman downstairs to check the situation.
Seeing this, Xiaogu Huaiyu and the others did not dare to stay in front of this room anymore, but returned to the room the woman gave them.
Stay quietly inside the door, leaning against the door, listening to the movement outside.
The woman's footsteps came to the second floor.
Then he turned and walked towards the corner of the corridor step by step.
Footsteps approached.
Finally, when he reached the entrance of a certain room, the footsteps stopped abruptly.
The two people and the cat inside the door held their breath and listened quietly to the movement outside.
The people outside seemed to be aware of something. Not only did the footsteps stop, they seemed to slow down their breathing.
The two people and a cat were in the room, and they didn't hear other noises outside. It was as if the woman downstairs was like them, lying in front of the door, quietly listening to the noise in the room.
When this idea appeared in Xiaogu Huaiyu's mind, she inevitably thought of more things.
For example, where did the woman downstairs stop
Another example is why she deliberately controlled her footsteps and breathing, and why she did it.
And, in the room at the end of the corridor, is there something important that can make a woman go upstairs to check just by hearing the noise upstairs.
There are no answers to all the conjectures.
But she knew that the woman downstairs had hidden something. If she knew these hidden things, then she knew why Panlong Town became like this, and she would have the answer.
The woman outside the door seemed to wait for a while, and then she continued to move on after she was sure that there was no sound inside.
The footsteps drifted away, and finally stopped again.
Xiaogu Huaiyu recognized it and found that the other party had stopped at the door of the room that the woman had warned that they could not enter.
Then came the sound of taking out the key.
It may be that there are a lot of keys, and when they were taken out, there was inevitably a crisp sound of collision.
The woman seemed to be very familiar with the door key, and soon heard the sound of the key opening the door.
The other party seemed to have deliberately put the action lightly, if it hadn't been for Xiaogu Huaiyu to listen carefully, it would not have been seen at all.
There was a sound of the door being slowly opened, and the woman whispered something, her tone seemed not very good.
Xiaogu Huaiyu held her breath and listened carefully to what the woman was saying.
"You guys be quiet... don't worry, wait later... I know... it's alright, don't say anything..."
Because of the distance, I can only vaguely hear the woman talking to someone in an impatient tone.
Until the end, the two sides seemed to have reached an agreement.
"...Okay, it's so decided... as agreed... you can... you can cooperate..." In the end, it was the sound of the door being closed again, accompanied by the sound of the door being locked, probably because I had forgotten to lock the door before. On, so this time it’s made up.
The woman's footsteps rang again, but she didn't stop as before, but walked straight downstairs.
They didn't relax until the woman left the second floor and the voice completely disappeared.
Meng Xiaotao carefully opened the door of the room and looked at the situation on both sides of the corridor. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, she turned her head and wanted to talk to Xiaogu Huaiyu and the others.
As soon as she turned her head, she inadvertently saw the door of the room at the end of the corridor from the corner of her eyes, as if someone was standing.
Meng Xiaotao lifted her heart in an instant, her mouth tightened as she was about to speak, and her breathing was visibly relieved.
Xiaogu Huaiyu obviously felt the change of Meng Xiaotao, frowned slightly, did not speak, and leaned forward to look out at the crack of the door.
Perhaps it was a matter of perspective. What Xiaogu Huaiyu saw was clearly better than Meng Xiaotao's.
At the end of the corridor, there was indeed someone standing at the door of that room.
It was just a little girl about six or seven years old. The little girl was wearing a skirt, and the edges of the skirt could still see almost worn lace.
On the little girl's head, there are two untidy claw braids, which are crooked and slanted, which seems to be somewhere, causing the hair to be messed up.
On the other hand, her skin appeared unusually bluish gray, and some faintly visible, bluish-purple blood vessels could be seen on her cheeks.
Otani Huaiyu knew that that was the appearance of a dead man.
And she also recognized the little girl. She had seen each other's pictures at her grandmother's house in the town.
Although it is black and white, the facial features are roughly the same, and there is no change.
The little girl seemed to know they were looking at her.
She spoke to them silently with her mouth open.
Xiaogu Huaiyu frowned, carefully identifying what the other party was saying.
But the distance was far, and the other party didn't make a sound when talking, so after watching for a long time, they didn't recognize what the other party was saying.
On the contrary, it was Meng Xiaotao, who didn't know what he saw. He was only looking at each other carefully through the crack of the door, but at the next moment he opened the door and rushed out.
The moment she went out, the little girl at the end of the corridor disappeared immediately, leaving Meng Xiaotao alone and standing in the corridor with a face full of doubts.
"What's the matter?" Xiaogu Huaiyu asked.
Meng Xiaotao scratched her head, and said uncertainly, "I seemed to have seen the lamb behind him just now. It seems that there is someone standing, not necessarily a person..."
The little sheep is the little girl just now.
Meng Xiaotao looked very tangled.
"People?" Xiaogu Huaiyu frowned.
She didn't see anyone just now, only the lamb standing in front of the door of the room at the end of the corridor, saying something to her.
Meng Xiaotao was also a little unsure, "It should be, he feels like a person on the whole, but his whole body is like a cloud of black mist. I'm not sure."
At this moment, An Jiu also intervened, "There was something behind the lamb at the time, but I didn't see it either. It just felt a little bit vaguely."
"And..." An Jiu paused, with a hint of disgust on his face, "And the smell of that thing is a bit strange, I'm not sure what it is."
