“This way!”
There was a door in the middle of the corridor that was ajar. Wang Xiaoming was also frightened. When he saw the light that had just disappeared reappear, he directly dragged Chen Ge into the room in the middle of the corridor.
As the two hid inside the door, a beam of light shone deep into the corridor.
"That was a close call! I was almost seen!" Wang Xiaoming gasped and hid behind the door.
"Although hiding in the house is temporarily safe, it increases extra risks. You know, the light is on in the room and there is someone inside. We only needed to deal with one person just now, but now we may need to deal with two or even more people." Chen Ge did not turn against Wang Xiaoming because of his unauthorized decision, because arguing at this time would not solve any problems, but would waste his precious time to escape.
"We'll just wait here for a while. Once the person outside leaves, we'll leave immediately."
"First of all, you can't be sure whether the teacher outside the door has discovered us. If he has discovered us, he must be guarding somewhere outside the door. Secondly, there are people living in the house. It is unknown whether we can stay here safely until the teacher outside the door leaves." Chen Ge never leaves his life to luck. He carried his bag and went into the kitchen by himself.
"What are you going to do?"
"Look for a window."
The room was ridiculously large, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen. It didn't look like an ordinary apartment at all.
After Chen Ge ran into the kitchen, he rushed directly to the window, but what disappointed him was that there was an anti-theft net installed on the kitchen window.
Without any hesitation, Chen Ge came to the chopping board again. He searched through the drawers and cabinets, but did not see any kitchen knife or any sharp objects.
"It's not like a dormitory, it's more like a cage."
"Xiao Lin, someone seems to be coming!" Wang Xiaoming lay on the door panel, he lowered his voice, his facial features became a little distorted because of fear.
"Lock the door and don't let him in." Chen Ge didn't know whether the man outside had seen them. After all, he and Wang Xiaoming had been hiding in the dark.
"Okay." Wang Xiaoming was so frightened that he lost the ability to think. He did whatever Chen Ge said: "It's already locked."
Even though he knew the door was locked, Wang Xiaoming was still very nervous. He held the door handle with cold sweat on his forehead.
Chen Ge didn't expect Wang Xiaoming to be so afraid of the teacher. He gently grabbed Wang Xiaoming's hand and said, "Don't panic. The more afraid you are, the more likely bad things will happen."
"This is not a question of whether to panic or not! Xiaolin, have you forgotten about the teacher after the lights are turned off..." Wang Xiaoming wanted to say something when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
Chen Ge and Wang Xiaoming's faces turned pale at the same time. They looked at each other and raised their fingers to their mouths at the same time.
"Come here." Chen Ge pointed to the empty space next to the door. He gestured, wanting to ambush Wang Xiaoming on both sides of the door, ready to rush out and control the other party at any time.
Chen Ge's plan was good, but unfortunately Wang Xiaoming had a completely different personality from him. He didn't listen to Chen Ge's instructions at all and slipped directly into the bathroom far away from the bedroom.
"Hey!" Chen Ge didn't want to stay in the living room alone, so he turned around and ran into the bathroom.
"What's the point of hiding in the bathroom? If you keep hiding, you will end up with no way out! If you don't know how to resist, you will never get the chance to choose!"
"I know, but I can't control myself." Wang Xiaoming had a sad face and gently closed the bathroom door.
The two held their breath and waited for about ten seconds, but there was no movement outside.
"Did that person leave?"
"How should I know? He might be lying outside the door right now, waiting for us to go out." Chen Ge rolled his eyes: "Let's go out and take a look."
"Yeah." Wang Xiaoming mustered up the courage to open the bathroom door. It was pitch black outside, so he turned on the light in the living room. "Everything is normal."
Finding nothing unusual, Wang Xiaoming urged quietly, but when he turned around, he saw Chen Ge's expression was very strange: "What's wrong with you?"
"I remember very clearly that the lights in the living room were on just now, but after we hid in the bathroom, the lights outside went out by themselves." Chen Ge lowered his voice: "Don't move! The people in the house have discovered us!"
As soon as Chen Ge finished speaking, the laughter of a little girl was heard in the room.
A head with loose black hair appeared from behind the sofa, and a girl was looking at Chen Ge and Wang Xiaoming with a weird smile.
"We had no ill intentions, we just happened to run in." Wang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that the person living in the house was not a school teacher, and made up a clumsy lie.
The little girl tilted her head and looked at Wang Xiaoming and Chen Ge. Her eyes were very strange, containing a morbid emotion that was hard to describe, but it didn't seem like she was looking at anyone.
"Are you the daughter of our school teacher?" Chen Ge didn't dare to approach this little girl who seemed to be normal.
"Yeah." The girl nodded. She focused her eyes on Chen Ge. Compared to Wang Xiaoming, Chen Ge seemed more attractive. "My dad is a substitute teacher at night school. His last name is Bai."
"Are you Teacher Bai's daughter? Then we didn't make the wrong choice. Don't be afraid. We are Teacher Bai's students. He asked us to come here to discuss some things. But since he is not here, we won't disturb him." Chen Ge signaled Wang Xiaoming to stay away from the girl.
"My dad asked you to come?" The girl's eyes brightened when she heard this. "It seems he still remembered the agreement with me."
"Appointment?" Wang Xiaoming had a vague feeling of foreboding: "It's getting late, let's come back tomorrow."
Wang Xiaoming was looking for an excuse to leave, but the little girl ignored him, staring at Chen Ge, and ran out from behind the sofa.
"Little brother, what's your name?" She grabbed Chen Ge's arm. Her voice was sweet and her expression was lovely, but her eyes made people uncomfortable because it didn't look like she was looking at a living person.
"Lin Sisi."
"What a cute name." When the little girl smiled, her fangs were exposed, making her look very playful.
"No matter how cute the name is, it's not as cute as yours, little sister. I have something to do tonight. How about I come to play with you tomorrow?" The hair on the back of Chen Ge's neck stood up when the girl hugged his arm.
"Tomorrow?" The little girl was a little distressed. She suddenly stood on tiptoe and whispered in Chen Ge's ear: "You are following someone who has been dead for a long time. I am afraid you won't live to see tomorrow, little brother."
The girl said something horrifying in an innocent tone: "Don't go with him. Stay here tonight."
On one side is his desk mate who has ulterior motives and seems to have been dead for a long time, and on the other side is the teacher's daughter who is weird and morbid. Chen Ge faces his first choice since entering the world behind the door.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Chen Ge was still hesitating when a strange noise suddenly came from the bedroom, as if someone was hitting something with his head.
"What's that sound?" Chen Ge looked towards the bedroom.
"It's okay, it's okay. Last birthday, my dad gave me a big dog. It was too naughty, so I tied it up." The little girl seemed to remember something happy and smiled even sweeter.
