In a small elevator.
Jiang Li and that thing stood side by side.
She used the full-length mirror on the side of the elevator to scan the corner behind the elevator, where a pool of fresh blood remained.
The unpleasant smell of blood floated in the air.
Jiang Li frowned slightly, holding back the discomfort in her stomach.
She reached out and pressed the number "1" on the elevator floor.
The elevator circuit seems to be unstable.
As soon as she touched the button, the elevator light flashed twice.
Under the flickering sight of light and dark, the female "person" standing next to Jiang Li disappeared in the blink of an eye.
at the same time.
An electronic voice broadcast reached Jiang Li's ears.
"Current floor, fourth floor."
"The elevator is going down, please pay attention——"
"The elevator is going down, please pay attention!!"
The further the sound went, the more it sounded like gnashing teeth.
As soon as the voice was finished, the white flashing light bulb in the elevator flashed twice again and returned to normal.
Inside the elevator, it was as bright as ever.
Jiang Li stood in front of the button area.
Her eyes were fixed on the electronic display in the elevator.
The number there slowly jumped from "4" to "3".
Jiang Li looked back lightly.
For some reason, Jiang Li always felt a dark swishing sensation on the back of his neck in the elevator.
It seems like there is something unclean.
Jiang Li thought for a moment, took out the flip pocket watch he had just put in his pocket, and opened it.
Through the open mirror of the pocket watch, Jiang Li could see clearly behind him.
Her scalp went numb instantly!
The disappeared woman was standing behind her, stretching out her nose and sniffing at Jiang Li's neck.
It feels like preparing to taste a delicious plate of delicious food.
Feeling Jiang Li's gaze, the thing behind him raised its head.
Jiang Li saw her face clearly.
The cheeks are thin and the eye sockets are sunken.
The lifeless skin was like dry land, with cracked lines.
Especially the corners of the woman's mouth were stained with fresh, rusty blood.
It was as if he had just had a hearty meal.
When she noticed Jiang Li looking at her, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up.
She grabbed Jiang Li's arm excitedly, "Can you... see me?"
The woman's voice was hoarse, and her vocal cords felt as if they had been stabbed with a knife.
Jiang Li raised his hand to shake her off, took a step sideways, and stood aside.
"I can't find my home, take me home!"
The woman said to Jiang Li in a commanding tone.
Jiang Li didn't want to pay attention.
"Take me home! Take me home!"
The woman fluttered back and forth to Jiang Li's left and right sides.
Her voice was sinister, and she entangled Jiang Li in pursuit.
"Go home...go home! Send me home quickly!!"
The woman was acting too impatient.
Jiang Li's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the mirror on the elevator wall.
I found that the parched skin on the woman's face was falling off piece by piece like wall covering.
Jiang Li took a step back and turned a deaf ear to the thing's request.
I struggled for a while.
The elevator's voice announcement sounded at the right time——
"Elevator level one, here it is."
"Elevator level one, here it is!"
"The elevator door is open, please be careful where you step!"
That voice broadcast was very different from last time.
This time, he was holding back a laugh.
The feeling of holding back a smile made Jiang Li feel uncomfortable.
"Ding dong——"
The elevator door opened, and the light illuminated a path for Jiang Li.
The pale woman hugged Jiang Li's arm and softened her tone:
"Please, take me home, I can't find my home."
Jiang Li pushed the woman's hand away and walked outside.
As soon as she lifted her feet, a low laugh burst out from the voice broadcast.
There was only a very soft sound, but it was still caught by Jiang Li.
what happened?
Jiang Li was stunned for half a second.
She glanced at the electronic display, and the number "1" was written clearly on it.
However, the number "1" is very strange and crooked, as if it was glued on with blood.
This time, Jiang Li tentatively took a half-step toward the elevator door.
That low-laughing syllable appeared again.
wrong.
Think of the blood on the corner of the woman's mouth and the pool of blood in the corner of the elevator.
Jiang Li's sixth sense told her that when she stepped out of the elevator, the pool of blood might be her end.
Jiang Li retracted his foot.
The uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense.
Jiang Li looked back at the woman, and the chapped face disappeared.
The woman in red seemed to see hope and instantly smiled like a flower.
"You want to help me, right? Help me go home!"
A smile bloomed at the corner of the woman's mouth.
Jiang Li stared at her suspiciously.
This woman, did she just... wipe her mouth?
Jiang Li clearly remembered that a second ago, this woman still looked like she had just eaten someone.
Jiang Li lowered his eyes and thought, and twitched his index finger.
Suddenly, she raised her eyes!
A bold idea unfolded in Jiang Li's mind——
She looked at the elevator mirror and her pupils suddenly shrank.
In the mirror, the woman in red had a ghost-like skin, her hair exploded in all directions, her pale skin cracked into pieces, and there were residual blood stains hanging from the corners of her mouth.
In the corner of the elevator, blood flowed all over the floor...
Outside the mirror, the woman's face was normal except for being a little pale.
Even in the corners of the elevator, there was no trace of a drop of blood.
Article 6 of the Corridor Code:
[Seeing is not necessarily believing. 】
So the scene in the mirror is real!
Jiang Li's scalp felt numb.
If you say that, is she missing something...
"The elevator door is about to close -" the voice announcement sounded.
Jiang Li ignored it.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something.
Jiang Li quickly took out the rules paper, held it in front of the mirror, and took a look at it.
For a moment.
All the handwriting on the note is clearly visible.
The original eight rules have now become nine!
【9. Neighbors are friendly to each other. If they ask for help, be sure not to say no. 】
So the blood stains in the elevator are what happens after rejection...
Jiang Li felt a chill running down his spine.
She recalled the scene where she asked Red Baby about the rules not long ago:
"Baby, are there any wrong rules?"
"Mommy, these are correct."
He was right, it was all correct.
Hongying didn't lie to her.
However, Jiang Li didn't expect that the trap of this damn rule would be placed here.
The woman in red is still talking, "Help me go home, help me, okay?"
Jiang Li organized her thoughts and put away the note.
She raised her head and looked at the woman as friendly as possible.
"Okay, I'll help you get home."
