There was a snap.
As the door opened, the extremely dark room came into view.
Compared with the grocery room next door, the light in this room is obviously much darker.
But in comparison, this room is not as thick with dust as the utility room.
At least from the way it looks now, this room should be occupied by people just like my bedroom.
Although the light is dark, you can still see the layout of the room.
A bed with a spring mattress and a layer of foam mattress on top. You can tell at a glance.
In comparison, I really don't want to sleep on the solid wood bed in the next bedroom.
Xie Chen slowed down and walked into the room warily, not daring to put down the knife in his hand easily.
After all, the movement of the small wooden box was real. The most likely thing was that the guy was hiding in this room, so he had to be careful.
"Where are the people, stop hiding..."
"Come out quickly, there's no point in hiding. If you have the ability, you always come out to make trouble, but now you don't dare to show your face?"
Xie Chen lowered his tone and said coldly.
But in this room I could only hear my own voice, and there was no other sound.
Xie Chen was slightly distracted and glanced at the circuit on the wall. There was a light switch next to the door.
After turning on the light, the whole room changed from dark to bright, at least much brighter than the small broken desk lamp in the bedroom at the beginning.
In this moment of light and darkness alternating, Xie Chen became even more vigilant, fearing that the guy hiding in the darkness of the room would suddenly burst out and fight him.
There are also two wardrobes in this room. If the clothes inside are taken out, it will be no problem for one person to hide in them. Even two people can hide in them easily.
Xie Chen did not rush to the two wardrobes to check. Instead, he lay half-lying at the door and checked under the bed to see if anyone was hiding.
For such a big bed, the seam is almost 20 centimeters long. Although a sheet hangs down to cover most of it, you can still see it.
"nobody?"
Xie Chen murmured and immediately stood up again with the knife.
To be honest, he looked more like a gangster who broke into a house with a knife.
After confirming that there was no one under the bed, Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Then only the two wardrobes in front of me are left.
As soon as I took two steps forward and stood beside the bed, I felt something was wrong.
This is wrong.
There are two pillows and one sheet and quilt on this bed. If you really want to compare them, they don't match the rules in your bedroom.
[Before getting ready to go to bed, remember to take a look at how many pillows there are on the bed. You are at home alone, and one pillow is enough. Please put away the other extra pillows. 】
The scene in front of me now, I am not sure if this is my bedroom.
The bedroom where I sleep may not be, but it may also be...
"So should I put this pillow away..."
While Xie Chen hesitated, he looked at the door behind him. The door of this room was intact. Unlike that bedroom, half of the door was broken and could fall down at any time.
If you are going to sleep in this room, you don't need to think about fixing the door.
But what I am afraid of is that I will sleep in the wrong room...
Xie Chen still had a headache from this, but at this moment, a strange and ethereal voice came from outside the door.
"Xiechen...where are you?"
"!!?"
This sentence was naturally heard by Xie Chen. It was a bit like an old man shouting to himself.
I only felt familiar and strange at the same time, as if I had heard such a voice in my memory.
But because of that ethereal tone, I couldn't remember it for a while.
"Who's there?!"
Xie Chen asked suddenly, not slowing down because of his inner hesitation.
But if you ask yourself, you should stand still and remain still. If you take measures in a hurry at this time, you will easily be led into the ditch.
Now I don’t know if there are people out there waiting for help.
"and……"
Xie Chen turned his attention to the two wardrobes in the room.
He had just finished screening the place under the bed, and was about to see if there was anyone hiding in the two closets, when a voice came from outside, and it was his name.
This made me even more suspicious of these two wardrobes.
Xie Chen relaxed his body and mind and tried to calm down his brain without having too many doubts and tensions.
This can easily mislead your current judgment. The most important thing is to find out who is causing trouble?
"The sound actually came from outside. It may have been through some means. It may not necessarily be the sound coming from a person's mouth."
Xie Chen murmured.
That was indeed the case, after all, the voice he just heard made him a little confused.
It cannot be ruled out that it is transmitted through some specific walkie-talkies by manipulating signal sensors or the like.
And it might be some kind of recording equipment. After I moved something in the room, I triggered the switch that was originally set.
Although my imagination is too big, these are not impossible.
Xie Chen continued to walk towards the two wardrobes without putting down the knife in his hand. Then he opened the first wardrobe in front of him with worry.
When the items in the closet were exposed in front of him, he found that there were only some fitting shirts, and they were all clean and tidy.
These shirts are all white. Except for these solid-color shirts, there are no patterns or other colors on them.
"Why are there so many clothes?"
Xie Chen muttered to himself.
This is no exception if a person has a lot of clothes in his wardrobe, but too many of the same clothes can make people feel strange.
Moreover, these clothes are all brand new, and it is basically not obvious that they have been worn several times.
These solid-color, patternless clothes don't seem to have any collection value. Why are there so many of them stuffed in this wardrobe?
There must be at least nearly 30 pieces in it, all hung on hangers in the middle of the closet.
On the wardrobe platform below, there are several books and several pairs of shoes.
The books are all old, and some of them have signs of age on their covers.
But the shoes are all new, and the labels have not been removed. The labels on each pair of shoes are still brand new, and the foam in the shoes is still stuffed.
"What kind of quirk is this?"
Xie Chen looked alert and did not dare to relax at all.
There was no sound coming from outside the door at this time, and even the voice that just called his name seemed like an illusion.
Xie Chen shook his head to regain his senses, and then quickly rummaged through the shirts and shoes to see if there was anything he had missed.
Unfortunately, there are still no results. There are no hidden compartments in this wardrobe, and there is nothing hidden in these clothes and shoes.
If there is something hidden, you can always get something if you touch and pull it.
There are also those old books, even the pages are a little yellowed, but I can't find any information in these books.
"This is strange..."
"It shouldn't be like this..."
Xie Chen looked at the closet next to him warily, and even held his breath involuntarily.
It seemed as if there was a big living person hiding in this closet. He was even afraid that if he made any big noise, this guy would get out of it.
Xie Chen pretended to pick up a book and flip through it, and even deliberately made the sound of flipping the book louder. If someone was really hiding in the closet, he should be able to hear it.
Xie Chen stepped very lightly. His approach should not attract attention. After all, he didn't even make a sound.
The closet that has not been screened is tightly closed. Even if there is someone hiding inside, it is absolutely impossible to observe the situation outside.
So moving forward little by little now is definitely the safest thing to do.
Xie Chen continued to turn the pages of the book louder, but did not speak out.
If he spoke now, at such a distance, the guy in the closet would definitely be able to sense that he was slowly approaching the closet where he was.
So it's better to be on the safe side, as I don't want to make mistakes at this critical node.
Although he was flipping through the book, Xie Chen still held the knife in his hand tightly, not daring to slack off at all.
When I approached this closet and suddenly opened it, I found that this closet was empty. Compared with the closet just now, it could be described as "poor".
Even if mice or spiders were left here, they would probably not be happy to build a nest here.
"what happened?"
Xie Chen looked surprised and put his hands on the wardrobe in disbelief, but it was indeed empty. Even after pulling out the small cabinet in the middle, he didn't find anything hidden in it.
Xiechen gritted his teeth reluctantly, he couldn't believe it.
The two places in this room that were most likely to hide people were actually not hiding anyone.
But what happened to the movement of the wooden box outside?
Is it possible that it will grow legs and run away on its own?
Xie Chen quickly circled around the two wardrobes, even thinking about moving one of them forward and pulling out the wall behind it to see if there were any hidden compartments or something like that, where someone might be hiding.
But nothing was found.
Snap!
Another sound came from outside the door. It was the sound of a small wooden box falling to the ground.
