There is endless silence all around.
Jiang Yaoqing hugged the quilt, but she couldn't fall asleep.
The lantern beside the pillow burned red, and you could still feel the faint warmth.
My eyes are a little sore, but my spirit is in a tense state.
My mind is uncontrollably recalling everything that happened today, and I am also uncontrollably making some not-so-good deductions about future situations.
Although these deductions are groundless, Jiang Yaoqing is used to introducing many possibilities and preparing for the worst.
After all, he is not strong enough and can only rely on his IQ.
"Dong dong dong——"
After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door in the corridor.
Jiang Yaoqing's heartstrings trembled, and her spirit suddenly returned to clarity. She held her breath and tried to identify the source of the sound.
He should be in the corridor, listening to the echo, and it should be still some distance away from him.
The knocking on the door stopped, and several people seemed to have a few words of conversation, but the sound was too vague and Jiang Yaoqing could not hear clearly.
"Dong dong dong!"
Coming closer.
Jiang Yaoqing heard the sound of high heels hitting the ground, and the dull sound of footsteps behind her. It sounded like the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground.
The harsh sound of the rubber soles rubbing against the ground made Jiang Yaoqing's ears uncomfortable.
As if they were sure that no one was in the room, they headed to the next room.
"Dong dong dong——!"
The knocking on the door was closer, as if it was coming from a few rooms next to my own.
But in fact, there was no one else living here except Jiang Yaoqing, so they had only one purpose of knocking on the door - to determine which room there was someone in.
A slight cold sweat broke out on Jiang Yaoqing's forehead.
The heartbeat is a little fast, but this does not affect Jiang Yaoqing's analysis.
The person wearing high heels should be "mom", and those behind wearing leather shoes should be "they".
According to Lance, these people should be going through a selection process now.
The knock on the door rang again, and this time Jiang Yaoqing heard it clearly, it was right next door to her.
Jiang Yaoqing heard the sound of a woman knocking on the door with her fist, along with the crisp sound of something colliding and the sound of the door being knocked creaking.
The footsteps sounded again, walking towards the door of his room.
But then, there was the sound of a bottle breaking from behind the door, as if it had been hit by something, followed by the sound of tables and stools colliding.
The crisp loud noise was particularly eye-catching in the silent night.
He stopped walking in his direction.
He should have turned around and gone back.
[The optional favorability level 10 has taken effect]
A system prompt suddenly sounded in Jiang Yaoqing's mind.
what happened?
Jiang Yaoqing was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to her senses.
It wasn't just a coincidence.
It was the favorability I added to "mom" that worked.
but……
How could this happen? I clearly didn't violate any rules.
Could it be that I missed it somewhere?
Jiang Yaoqing broke out in a layer of cold sweat, her palms were slightly moist, her nerves were overly tense and her thinking was extremely sharp.
The corners of her eyes turned slightly red, Jiang Yaoqing sniffed and began to search for information that she had missed.
“Dong dong dong!!”
Because of the loud noise just now, "Mom" was knocking on the door fiercely next door. The door was creaking loudly. Jiang Yaoqing had no doubt that if she kept knocking like this, the door would be smashed in a while. rotten.
If there was someone in that door, it would probably not be easy.
So what did I neglect?
Jiang Yaoqing's eyes swept across the room, and the sound of her heart beating almost merged with the sound of "Mom" knocking on the door.
What exactly is...
His eyes suddenly fixed on the glowing red lantern.
Sisili's words echoed in his mind.
"Don't let the lantern go out. The corridor is too dark. A little light is safe."
Jiang Yaoqing caught the key words in this sentence almost instantly.
The corridor is too dark.
It's not that the room is too dark.
If there is a light in the room, there is only one consequence.
It will attract "mother" and "them" to death.
