Seeing this, after confirming that there was no one in the living room, the young man could not know for a while which room the guy named Li Xuanling was in. At this moment, he scanned the four doors. For the sake of caution, Chen Xiaoyao did not act rashly. Instead of finding a random room and pushing open the door, he stayed on the spot and meditated for a few seconds. The young man simply shouted directly in the living room at the top of his voice: "Li Xuanling! Li Xuanling, where are you?"
"Hey! Is there anyone there? Li Xuanling, where are you?"
The voice was loud, but unfortunately there was no response after shouting for a long time. No matter how I called and asked, no one in the four rooms responded.
There was no response to the confirmation call for a long time, and seeing everything around him still silent. Gradually, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and he became more and more frustrated under the pressure of the long-lasting silence.
Faced with such a result, he instinctively turned around and looked at each other with Gao Jikun who was standing at the door. As he watched, the young man breathed rapidly. Gao Jikun was also made to sweat by the inexplicable silence at this moment. Not only was his forehead sweating, but his heart was beating fast. It was much faster than before. The fat man was a little scared, but he never spoke. The reason was that the current atmosphere was not strictly weird, which meant that the atmosphere at this moment was still within the psychological tolerance range.
As for Chen Xiaoyao...
After looking back at his surroundings and confirming that the door and the entire room were still normal, the young man took action again. After forcibly suppressing his uneasiness and the complicated impulse to escape immediately, he moved his legs straight forward and headed towards the nearest door. Open the door and walk slowly.
………
Since the door was recently at the corner, Chen Xiaoyao's figure disappeared from Gao Jikun's field of vision when he walked towards the room. Yes, the door on the right was in a blind spot that was not visible from the living room door, so it was natural that Chen Xiaoyao rushed to it. The target, soon, the young man disappeared from Gao Jikun's field of vision. Of course, such details did not attract the fat man's attention. After all, he clearly knew what the other party planned to do. When he saw the other party, he started to look for it. Gao Jikun also never forgot his responsibilities. Still standing in front of the living room door, he held the doorknob tightly while turning his head, observing the silent surroundings with vigilant eyes.
How far is it in meters? The answer came in an instant. When he came to the door, Chen Xiaoyao took the doorknob and turned it to the left. Sure enough, since it was not the door, there was a soft click sound. With one turn, the door lock opened easily. He took a deep breath. The next moment, he pushed the door open with his arms.
squeak.
At the same time, when Chen Xiaoyao pushed the door in, the scene shifted to the door of the living room.
At the door, Gao Jikun was listening in all directions with his sensitive ears and small eyes, looking at the corridor one after another.
After a while, the sound of the young Taoist priest pushing the door and moving around reached the fat man's ears. Hearing the sound, Gao Jikun was a little curious and instinctively looked back to the living room. There was no doubt that he hoped that the other party could find the target as soon as possible, and he could only determine the target's life or death as soon as possible. Only then could he leave this troubled and uneasy house as soon as possible.
However, just when he was about to look back at the living room to see if Chen Xiaoyao had come out of the room...
Da da da.
The next moment, there was a sound.
A series of footsteps that did not belong inside the house reached my ears.
The footsteps came from the outside world, from the corridor, and there was a series of subtle but extremely clear footsteps without any warning!
………
You can imagine that at night, in a building that has been deserted for a long time, when you have been in a silent environment for a long time, and when your subconscious mind thinks that there is no sound nearby, then under this subjective impression, you suddenly hear a noise from the outside world. Hearing clear footsteps, what is the result?
As a result, everyone would be shocked. Gao Jikun was no exception to this. Not only was he no exception, but when he suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor, his reaction was several times more intense than that of ordinary people. A tremble, mixed with a sudden high in the heart. As soon as the sound came out, Gao Jikun, who had originally planned to turn back to look at the living room, instantly changed his mind and gave up turning around. Instead, he suddenly turned around and looked outside the door, and opened his eyes wide to observe the corridor outside. .
"Hoo, ho, ho."
The high nervous tension caused his breathing to become increasingly rapid. At this moment, the fat man was extremely frightened. He was afraid, terrified, afraid that he would see something he shouldn't see in the corridor, and worried about what he would do if danger occurred. Obviously, His worries are quite reasonable. Unlike He Fei, Zhao Ping or Chen Xiaoyao, who are either experienced or have superior abilities, Gao Jikun is very self-aware. He knows how much he weighs and what he is capable of. And this is the real reason why he has been keeping a low profile since he joined the team. After all, his purpose is very simple, he just wants to survive. Since the purpose is to survive, there is no doubt that the biggest threat that can hinder his survival is It must come from a supernatural mission, from that murderous and murderous... 螞!
There is no need to explain deliberately. Gao Jikun, who has survived many missions, certainly knows what kind of thing a worm is. He also knows more clearly what will happen to the attacked person once a worm attacks a human. As the saying goes, the more you know, the braver you will be. Xiao, there is no denying that Gao Jikun's mission experience is not comparable to that of other senior people. However, through recent observations and multiple inquiries, Fatty has obtained a lot of valuable information. As for Qi, he learned from senior people that there are also differences between Qi and Qi. There is a difference, but then again, no matter how big the difference between the worm and the worm is, no matter how powerful the worm is, to Gao Jikun, they are all synonymous with death, so he must try his best to avoid that kind of thing no matter what.
No one knows why Gao Jikun was able to think so much in his mind during that brief period of looking back, but at least one thing is certain, that is, the fat man reacted extremely quickly, as fast as anyone else. It can even be said that as soon as there was a noise in the corridor, In an instant, the fat man turned his head and looked at the corridor as fast as lightning.
Next…
Something happened that made him secretly grateful but also made him inexplicably uneasy, that is, the corridor was empty.
He didn't see anything. .
No matter how you stare and observe, no matter how you look left and right, there is no one nearby. The entire corridor is still as empty as it was at the beginning, with not a single person appearing from the beginning to the end.
Faced with such a result, it stands to reason that this is a good thing. After all, having nothing is better than seeing something you shouldn't see. The truth is true, but...
Why can my ears still hear footsteps? ?
Da da da.
The sound of movement was getting louder and louder, even clearer than at first. It sounded like...
It’s like he’s about to come to you!
It's getting closer, getting closer, there is something, there is an invisible thing that is getting closer to me! ! !
"ah……"
feel to
At this moment, a strong sense of terror swept through his body like a hurricane. Gao Jikun became more and more frightened. In this deathly silent corridor, the unknown phenomenon where only the sound was heard but not the shadow was sometimes more frightening than seeing the worm with his own eyes. People are afraid! The fat man's body trembled, his throat trembled, and he couldn't help but retreated. During the retreat, he didn't even dare to blink. However, unfortunately, even if his eyes were opened to the maximum, even if his nerves were highly tense, his field of vision was still You can't see anything, the only thing that exists is footsteps, only the terrifying footsteps that feel closer and closer to you!
Prompted by fear, Gao Jikun began to retreat, one after another, and kept retreating...
I don't know if it was an illusion, but during the retreat, another sudden change happened.
Boom.
"Um?"
After retreating, Gao Jikun could no longer retreat.
My back felt hard and my body felt blocked.
He was blocked, blocked by something. Sure enough, after discovering that he was blocked innocently for no reason, the fat man hurriedly turned around with a look of surprise. However, it was better not to look at it. At first glance, Gao Jikun was stunned on the spot. Live, in other words, a completely unbelievable picture suddenly appeared before my eyes:
The living room of the house that should have been behind me in my memory is gone, the door is gone, the door has disappeared without a trace, and it is replaced by a wall! A corridor wall that is exactly the same as the surrounding one! ! !
"Ah, this... this, how could this happen?"
Staring at the wall in front of him, seeing this strange phenomenon that was beyond the scope of human understanding, Gao Jikun murmured to himself that his hair was standing on end. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked again. After he concluded that he was not dazzled, cold sweat spread all over his body. Body!
It’s no wonder that the fat man was so frightened. First of all, you must know that Gao Jikun’s original location was in front of the door of Room 6 on the 12th floor. It stands to reason that even if he retreated, he would only retreat to the room and the living room. The truth is true and the logic is clear. Unexpectedly, the environment has changed drastically in just one turn, and the door of Room 6 has disappeared without a trace! ?
Why?
What about private houses? Where is the room? What is going on? .
The above are the most real thoughts and the most real doubts deep in Gao Jikun's heart at this moment. Unfortunately, no one can answer this question. After all, he is the only one left in the entire corridor. Yes, since the room Already gone, Chen Xiaoyao, who was already in the room, naturally disappeared. What does this mean?
This means that Gao Jikun has lost his support and the blessing of the young Taoist priest!
He didn't know why things turned out like this, and he didn't know what to do next.
(Will I die? Will I die? No, I can’t despair, don’t panic, absolutely can’t panic! I remember He Fei once said that the more panicked you are when encountering strange phenomena, the faster you will die. I can’t panic, I have to calm down. , calm down, take a deep breath, yes, take a deep breath!)
It has to be said that Gao Jikun is quite capable. After all, more than 20 years of social experience have made his mind more calm and firm than ordinary people. It is said to be true, but in fact it is even more true. Unexpectedly, when the fear reached the limit, the fat man did not turn over to force himself. Let yourself calm down. To be honest, it is rare to be able to do this. After all, no one can deeply feel how terrifying and frightening this fear of collapse is without being immersed in it! Getting back to the topic, if his attention was slightly distracted due to excessive fear, then with the forced calmness, when Gao Ji regained his composure, he suddenly discovered a problem, that is...
The footsteps disappeared.
Then the sound of footsteps that had been echoing in the eardrums and even getting closer and closer suddenly stopped? .
This was undoubtedly good news for Gao Jikun, so after confirming that the sound of footsteps had really disappeared, he was slightly stunned. Then, the fat man moved and suddenly ran away, running straight towards the stairs in front of him with his legs.
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
Gao Jikun ran away. After confirming that there was no danger around him, he rushed forward decisively. He neither rushed to check other houses nor tried to find Chen Xiaoyao, but immediately chose to escape. Yes, it can be said that this option is the best option at present. The reason is extremely simple. Just now, he heard the sound of footsteps without a human figure, and he also experienced the inexplicable disappearance of the room. This means that there must be something abnormal around him, and there must be some supernatural power. What thing will release the supernatural power? The answer is undoubtedly 螞! Now that we are 100% certain that there is a hawk in the building, how long will it take if we don’t run away now? He wants to escape, he must escape from here as soon as possible!
As for Chen Xiaoyao...
May you wish for more blessings. In this case, your own life is more precious. As the saying goes, if you don't take care of yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
"Hoo, ho, ho!"
The running was ups and downs, and a continuous sound of running resounded frequently in the stairwell. Due to his faster speed, Gao Jikun had already walked through the corridor and entered the corridor. He was currently running between the stairs with a nervous look on his face, faster than when he went upstairs before. Several times, the hard work paid off. After a hasty run and some ups and downs, Gao Jikun succeeded.
He succeeded, passed through each floor and successfully ran downstairs, and successfully ran to the first floor! .
Jumping down the stairs, looking at the dark night outside the building door, he realized that he only needed to run a few more steps to leave the building and reach the outside world. Gao Jikun was so happy that he couldn't even take a breath, and immediately continued running without saying a word, spreading his legs and continuing to run. He ran towards the building door. .
Then, there is darkness and night. The dark environment represents the open-air scene, and the night sky represents leaving the building.
Rushed out!
Rush out of this residential building!
That's right, just the last second, Gao Jikun ran out of Building 3 as fast as he could and reached the outside world.
only……
The next moment, as soon as he left the building and ran to the outside world, before the fat man could even be thankful that he had escaped the trap, an accident happened.
The vision was blurred for a moment, and the mind was in a trance. .
In a trance, a dazzling light appeared, and the light drove away the dark night. Because the light appeared too suddenly, Gao Jikun couldn't help but squint his eyes under the stimulation of the light. Fortunately, human beings have strong adaptability to light, and it took only two seconds for the fat man's eyes to squint. He had already adapted to the bright environment. In addition, doubts flashed through Gao Jikun's mind in the past two seconds. He was doubtful about the sudden change in the environment. Yes, it was night time now. It stands to reason that it would be absolutely dark outside the building, but This light...
Gao Jikun's doubts did not last long. As the third second came and his vision completely returned to clarity, he,
Got the answer.
The answer is right in front of you.
After getting the answer, Gao Jikun was stunned. While stunned, his heart began to beat wildly. Then, a sense of fear that made him more desperate than before escaping instantly enveloped his body and covered everything, completely forcing him to escape. To the brink of collapse!
That's because, after the vision is clear, what is in front of you is no longer outdoors, but inside the building. It is clearly a corridor, a corridor that belongs to the inside of the building! ! !
And where I am currently...
12th floor.
Still on the 12th floor! ! !
"No, it's impossible, no, it won't be. How could it be like this? Why would it become like this?"
After being stunned for a moment, Gao Jikun was dumbfounded. He was tortured to the extreme by the unbelievable and shocking scene in front of him, and was pushed to the limit by the series of incredible and strange phenomena. He almost collapsed and couldn't help but put his head in his hands and muttered to himself, constantly asking himself , asking about the series of shocking phenomena for which the truth cannot be obtained.
Fear was difficult to control, and his mind was completely covered by fear. Faced with such a scene, he who could barely calm down before lost his mind again. It was not that he didn't want to calm down, but that the strange phenomenon in front of him forced his nerves to be unable to continue thinking. In the final analysis Or caused by excessive fear.
"Chen, Brother Chen! Brother Chen, are you there? Brother Chen, where are you?"
"Chen Xiaoyao, where are you? Is there anyone in the building!?"
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone!?"
"anyone there……"
The shouting gradually began, and the cry for help gradually became louder. Although he was in fear and despair, his last trace of survival reason forced Gao Jikun to think of one person, Chen Xiaoyao, who he had decisively abandoned not long ago. The other person was very powerful. He was both a Maoshan Taoist priest and a Taoist priest. For experienced people, as long as you find the other party, you will definitely find a way to ensure your own safety even in the worst case!
As a pragmatist, when things came to a close, Gao Jikun thought of Chen Xiaoyao and did not care about continuing to collapse. He quickly scanned the corridor and shouted. Unfortunately, it was useless. There was no response. There was no answer. There was no sound from the nearby Yaque, and the corridor remained the same. As empty as before. .
After a while, perhaps he had some realization in his panic or suddenly thought of something in his despair. After confirming that his shouting was in vain, Gao Jikun stopped making any sound. Instead, he reached into his arms as if he really thought of something and took out a plastic bag. Finally he took out a black coat from the bag.
Staring at the thing in his hand, the fat man looked pleased, and then put the black coat on his body without saying a word.
After the clothes were completely put on, for some reason, Gao Jikun, who was still shaking like chaff from fear just now, calmed down for a moment. I don't know if his courage came from the clothes or because the clothes themselves had something special about them, so he put them on. After getting up, the fat man regained his confidence and stopped shouting. Then he gritted his teeth and took action again, rushing to the bottom of the stairs again.
Snap.
It is said that accidents are always unexpected. This is true. It was too late to say it, but it was too soon. Just when Gao Jikun was about to move his legs, suddenly, an arm came from behind without any warning. Just like that. There was a slap on the fat man's shoulder, and at the same time, a voice that was frivolous but very familiar to Gao Jikun came from behind:
"Hey, did you just call me?"
As mentioned above, Gao Jikun was suddenly tapped on the shoulder and was frightened to death on the spot. He was about to howl and run for his life. However, when he heard the sound that followed, he stopped. He stopped running away. He shouted in terror, and was slightly startled. The reason was that the voice behind him was very familiar. After all, he had spoken many words to the owner of that voice just ten minutes ago.
(Huh? This sound...)
(It’s Chen Xiaoyao’s voice! Could it be that someone behind me is...)
Thinking of this, Gao Jikun suddenly felt happy! .
Obviously, he did not expect that Chen Xiaoyao, who had been missing for a long time, would reappear at this time. Of course, the above was not the focus and was not his current concern. At this moment, he only knew that he was saved. With Chen Xiaoyao by his side, The chances of escaping here by yourself are undoubtedly greatly increased.
(Chen Xiaoyao, it’s Chen Xiaoyao! It can’t be wrong, it can’t be wrong!)
After confirming that the person behind him was the young Taoist priest, as expected, Gao Jikun couldn't care less about running away. He looked happy and turned around in a hurry, intending to ask him where he had been before, but...
Who would have thought that when he turned around, his sight would be completely empty. Where was Chen Xiaoyao? There is absolutely no one around!
"this……"
Just when Gao Jikun was stunned and shocked, the accident happened again.
(Um?)
He felt something, his hair seemed to be slightly touched by something.
Yes, it feels as if something is lightly touching the top of the head. Although the touch is relatively slight, the touch can still be clearly detected from the scalp.
Conditioned reflexes are collectively called neural reflexes. This reaction is the instinct of all living things in the world, not only humans, but also animals. Therefore, it is natural that when Gao Jikun notices an abnormality on the top of his head and is suspicious, he instinctively raises his head, thus subconsciously prompting him to He raised his head and looked directly above his head. .
Then, he saw a scene.
No longer looking back and seeing nothing like just now, no longer like the initial nothingness, but actually seeing something.
He clearly saw...
Directly above my head...
There is a person!
A woman with disheveled hair, a woman whose body was covered in blood and it was impossible to tell what she was wearing.
The woman is suspended directly above her head, and what just touched her hair slightly was the woman's hanging feet! ! !
A woman appeared above Gao Jikun at some point.
No, no, it's not floating. Strictly speaking, it should be hanging. He saw the rope and a hemp rope, and the bloody woman was also hung in the air with the hemp rope wrapped around her neck. This was a person who died with a hemp rope. The woman hanging from the ceiling. When she looked up, the first thing she saw was a drooped head and a face covered in blood. In addition, a terrifyingly long tongue had already been stretched out. The mouth then dropped to the neck, but even so, everything was still not the most terrifying. As his vision continued to focus, and as he looked up again, he saw the woman's eyes.
A pair of eyes as red as blood, and a pair of eyes that were so wide that half of them protruded from the sockets.
At this moment, above, the woman lowered her head and stared at Gao Jikun below! ! !
