Chapter 9 Only two? (Everyone needs to work harder)
Hearing this scream, Xia Qi and Wang Yazhi both stopped subconsciously.
The sound came from behind them.
"I seemed to have heard Feng Wei's voice just now."
Wang Yazhi looked behind her with fear. In the process, her body was getting closer and closer to Xia Qi. Xia Qi could even feel the coldness radiating from Wang Yazhi's body.
In fact, Wang Yazhi was not the only one who was afraid, Xia Qi was also very uneasy.
"Well, I heard that just now."
Although the sound was already very low when it reached them, it was still quite clear because the bookstore was so quiet.
Xia Qi didn't know what happened to Feng Wei and Zhao Shuang over there, but in his mind, the most likely thing to happen was that the evil ghost had appeared!
But no matter what the truth is, he has no intention of joining in the fun. If it is true, he can only hope that Feng Wei, a sissy, will be happy for himself.
"Leave it to them over there. We just need to stay here. However, we also need to be cautious and try not to make too much noise when we walk. Can we do it?"
"Um……"
Wang Yazhi is still very convinced of Xia Qi's decision. Although the haunted situations he mentioned before have not yet appeared, this does not prevent her from truly feeling the gloominess of this bookstore building.
"I want to try calling a friend outside..."
Wang Yazhi suddenly requested.
at the same time. The other side of the first floor of the bookstore.
Feng Wei rubbed his eyes vigorously, almost unable to believe his eyes, because everything right now... was so weird.
I saw liquid that looked like blood slowly seeping out of the entire floor-to-ceiling window.
"What it is……"
Feng Wei swallowed with some difficulty, and then shouted at the top of his voice:
"Zhao Shuang, where are you? Come and have a look!"
"Zhao, Zhao Shuang?"
Feng Wei naturally did not have the courage to bear such a strange phenomenon, so his subconscious thought was to call Zhao Shuang to his side.
However, Zhao Shuang did not respond to him.
"Hello? Zhao Shuang? Are you here? I want to say something! Don't scare me!"
Feng Wei felt that with his current voice and the silence here, people on the third and fourth floors could hear clearly, so Zhao Shuang shouldn't be unable to hear.
"Hiss..."
Just when Feng Wei couldn't help shouting Zhao Shuang's name in fear, the bloody liquid that kept seeping out of the window began to spread silently on the ground, and a figure could be vaguely seen squirming on it. On!
Just when Feng Wei felt moved and wanted to look at the window again, a pale light suddenly shone on his face from one side.
"ah--!"
Perhaps this beam of light appeared too suddenly, or perhaps Feng Wei's nerves had been tense before, so he was suddenly frightened and screamed.
"Can you please stop being so surprised all the time?"
The sound of "tapping" high heels sounded, and Zhao Shuang was seen walking over from the side with an expressionless face.
Seeing Zhao Shuang again, Feng Wei suddenly let out a sigh of relief:
"Where did you run to just now? I called you so many times but there was no response. I thought you were no longer here."
After Feng Wei finished speaking somewhat unhappily, he suddenly remembered the window that was constantly leaking blood-colored liquid, so he hurriedly reminded Zhao Shuang:
"By the way, look at that window. There is blood-like liquid seeping out from inside. It's very weird."
"What liquid?"
Zhao Shuang looked at the window and asked in confusion.
"It's just...huh?"
Feng Wei wanted to say it was right on the window, but as soon as the words reached his throat, he swallowed them back.
I saw that the window was tightly blocked by the closed curtains. Not to mention what kind of liquid was in it, even the window glass could not be seen.
"Did you close this curtain?"
Feng Wei looked at Zhao Shuang suspiciously.
"What are you talking about? I just came here."
Zhao Shuang rolled his eyes at Feng Wei and turned away without bothering to respond.
"That's not right. I clearly opened the curtains just now. There are only two of us here. I didn't move and you didn't move. Could it be that ghosts moved it?"
Feng Wei was a little confused and scratched his hair, then murmured to himself:
"Forget it, I'll pull it open now and show it to you."
After saying that, Feng Wei opened the curtains with a "swish" sound, but what made him very confused was... there was no so-called liquid on the window that he had seen before.
It's just an ordinary floor-to-ceiling window, emitting a glimmering light under the moonlight.
"This...this is impossible...I clearly saw what I just saw..."
"What do you mean, obviously! You obviously don't have anything!"
Feng Wei wanted to explain something, but was directly interrupted by Zhao Shuang, who obviously found Feng Wei's behavior of looking for trouble boring.
"Forget it, maybe I was dazzled just now, or it was just the reflection of the scenery outside."
Feng Wei muttered to find a step for himself, and then he suddenly thought of something and asked Zhao Shuang:
"By the way, where did you run to just now? Why didn't you reply to me for so long when I called you?"
"I've been over there just now." Zhao Shuang pointed to the stairs not far away.
Feng Wei took a photo towards the stairs, and then asked with some suspicion:
"You went upstairs?"
"Yeah." Zhao Shuang nodded, then she leaned into Feng Wei's ear and said in a deliberately lowered voice:
"I discovered a secret up there."
…
Xia Qi took Wang Yazhi for a symbolic walk around the neighborhood. Although he did not find the switch that controlled the light path, fortunately, he did not encounter any danger.
During this period, Wang Yazhi tried to make several calls to her friends, but she was unable to get through.
What's even more weird is that the signal bar on the mobile phone is obviously full, but Xia Qi tried, but he couldn't even make a call to the police, and he couldn't get through either.
The occurrence of this strange situation brought Wang Yazhi's heart to the verge of collapse, and Xia Qi's heart began to sink deeper and deeper.
The darkness filled with deathly silence oppressed everyone's nerves.
"I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to go back to the dormitory!"
Wang Yazhi didn't know if it was because she was too scared, but she suddenly grabbed Xia Qi's arm and said with a cry.
"Good idea, we can try it." Xia Qi agreed dryly, and then changed the topic and added:
"But even if you escape from here tonight, won't you still have to come back here tomorrow?
Unless you have been killed before you come back!
It’s not like I haven’t told you what happened to me two days ago! "
Xia Qi said this, but he did not deny that he had a good impression of Wang Yazhi, so he wanted to let her survive, but more importantly, if Wang Yazhi escaped at this time, then he would be the only one left here.
"Don't scare me... I don't want to die..."
As Wang Yazhi spoke, she really began to cry, and her emotions began to become more and more excited:
"I just wanted to make more money to give to my parents...that's why I left school..."
"Why should I encounter this kind of thing...I don't want to die yet..."
Wang Yazhi cried harder and louder, and her voice became louder and louder, as if she was developing out of control.
In fact, the most unbearable and helpless thing for Xia Qi is when a woman cries.
This situation would be enough to give him a headache if he put it outside, let alone here. After thinking about it, Xia Xia Qi could only threaten in a more serious tone:
"If you still want to live and die so soon, just shut up!
Your crying will easily attract it, and then neither of us will fucking survive! "
Although being mean to women is a bit rude, who would care about this when it is a matter of life and death, not to mention that Xia Qi himself is not a sexist.
In fact, his words were indeed very effective. After hearing this, Wang Yazhi immediately covered her mouth in horror, as if she would really be killed if she made the slightest sound.
Seeing that Wang Yazhi's mood had somewhat recovered, Xia Qi's face also relaxed a bit, and comforted:
"There are always more solutions than difficulties in this world, so everything will be fine!"
There is no doubt that Xia Qi's words were meant not only for Wang Yazhi to hear, but also for himself to hear.
In fact, he was in a bad mood right now, and there was no sound at all except for them on the entire first floor. I heard Feng Wei's cry before, and I didn't know what happened over there, whether Zhao Shuang and Feng Wei were still alive.
This kind of hellish waiting is undoubtedly the most painful, because no one knows when a pair of hands will reach out from behind and strangle your neck!
Perhaps due to Xia Qi's influence, Wang Yazhi's mood temporarily calmed down.
At this moment, Xia Qi suddenly remembered something:
“By the way, there’s something I forgot to ask you before.
"When you first came here, was this place closed? Or, did you see the staff drawing the curtains inside?"
"I didn't see it. When Feng Wei and I came here, it was already closed."
Wang Yazhi shook her head and said she didn't know, but soon she thought of something again and said:
"Maybe Zhao Shuang will know. After all, she has been here before."
"What do you mean?" Xia Qi asked again without being able to hear clearly:
"Didn't you three get brought here together by that middle-aged uncle?"
"No." Wang Yazhi shook her head and explained:
"Only Feng Wei and I were brought here by the middle-aged uncle. As for Zhao Shuang, we only came out of the bookstore after the middle-aged uncle left."
After hearing this, Xia Qi felt a chill that instantly spread from the soles of his feet to his whole body.
"I will also bring two newcomers who are in the probation period later..."
Only then did Xia Qi suddenly remember what the middle-aged uncle had said to him earlier.
