Chapter 15 This time, she saw herself
Xia Lili quickly got up from the bed: "Okay, I'm coming!"
Half an hour later, Xia Lili returned home and the clock on the wall showed 6:30 in the afternoon.
Returning to her small rental house of less than 20 square meters, Xia Lili felt as if she was in another world.
This was the environment she was familiar with, a cramped rental house in the urban village where even sunlight cost money.
Touching the jade bracelet hidden in her sleeve and looking at the rental house in front of her, Xia Lili felt a little disconnected.
With one million in her pocket, Xia Lili wondered if she needed to rent a new house.
Suddenly, Xia Lili's eyes fell on the wardrobe in the corner.
This is an old wooden wardrobe. Because it is very old, the door cannot be closed and there is always a gap.
Every time, Xia Lili has to manually pry open the bottom of the cabinet door before it can be closed.
Xia Lili remembered that the cabinet door was closed when she went out to work that morning.
But now, a crack appeared in the cabinet door again.
I guess it was blown by the wind.
Out of caution, Xia Lili checked the house again. The house was no different from when she left, still clean.
Xia Lili took out the luggage she brought back from the hospital and put it away. She didn't bring anything when she went to the hospital, but when she came back, she had a bunch of big and small bags, all of which were newly bought by Coach Chen, Jiang Yun or the hospital.
The first thing Xia Lili took out was the drawing board and easel, as well as the sketches she had drawn in the hospital these days.
Teacher Yao, who teaches sketching, praised her for her talent and couldn't help but admire and express regret while teaching her. She said that if Xia Lili had chosen the path of fine arts, she would definitely be able to go to the Central Academy of Fine Arts or Tsinghua University.
Xia Lili didn't feel anything. After all, it was difficult for art students to find jobs nowadays, and many art masters made money by switching to manicure.
After putting her things away, Xia Lili prepared to take a shower and go to bed early to play with her phone.
She glanced at the wardrobe and then at the bags of clothes.
She was limping now and was too lazy to walk so far to the closet to get clothes, so she went into the bathroom carrying the bag of clothes.
Xia Lili is used to brushing her teeth before taking a shower. After brushing her teeth carefully for three minutes, she lowered her head and spit out the foam in her mouth.
Then she looked up at herself in the mirror.
Xia Lili stared at her eyebrows carefully, wondering whether she should use an eyebrow razor to trim them.
However, when Xia Lili looked into the mirror, her vision became blurred.
Xia Lili got goosebumps all over her body in an instant!
A chill rushed straight to the top of my head.
Because this time, she looked at herself in the mirror!
The hallucination appeared again.
In the hallucination, the power suddenly went out while she was taking a shower.
She quickly showered, put on her clothes and left the bathroom.
The main door of the room was outside, so she didn't leave the room out of caution.
There are many cases of murders of single women on the Internet where the criminals turn off the power, lure the victims out to check the power, and then take the opportunity to commit the crime while the victims are out.
She was very scared, and quickly unplugged her charging mobile phone, held it in her hand, and turned on the flashlight.
She took great pains to drag tables and chairs to block the door, fearing that some criminals would break in.
However, just as she finished doing all this in her hallucination, she turned around and found that the door of the closet in the room was open within the range of the flashlight on her mobile phone!
A strange man holding a folding knife jumped out of the closet and suddenly appeared in front of Xia Lili.
The escape door was blocked tightly by her own hands, and she had no way to retreat!
With the help of the light from the mobile phone, Xia Lili saw the man's face clearly.
He had an ordinary face - a round chin, slightly puffy eyelids, a nose that was neither high nor low, and thin, pale lips that seemed to be pursed all year round.
His eyebrows were sparse and very light in color, almost blending into his skin color.
Xia Lili remembered that she had seen this person on the wanted poster!
A-level wanted criminal Qu Zhong, who cruelly killed and dismembered people, has a reward of 300,000 yuan from the police!
When she was at her poorest, she still dreamed of catching a wanted criminal and getting rich from the bounty.
Now the wanted criminal has really come to her doorstep, Xia Lili is scared to death!
Because I'm really going to die!
——The following scene almost made Xia Lili’s breathing stop.
Xia Lili "saw" herself in a hallucination falling in a pool of blood, her eyes as wide as a dead fish.
At this point, Xia Lili's vision of the future ended.
Xia Lili's vision returned to clarity.
This time she actually foresaw her own death.
She looked at herself in the mirror and saw a cold sweat on her back.
Xia Lili clenched her fingers tightly on the sink, holding back her screams, and forced herself to calm down and think of a solution.
Although there was no power outage, she couldn't judge the situation outside the house.
The murderer was still hiding in the closet, tinkering with the switch.
Or, the murderer had an accomplice outside turning off the power? !
The more Xia Lili thought about it, the more scared she became. She didn't know whether she should go out to get her cell phone at this time.
Her phone was charging on the shelf by the door, ten steps away from the bathroom.
Xia Lili didn't dare to gamble.
She looked around and found that there was nothing blocking the door of this narrow bathroom.
Xia Lili began to fill the empty bucket with water, letting the sound of water cover up the noise in the bathroom.
She saw an iron clothes hanger in the bathroom, which was made of iron wire.
Xia Lili used all her strength to restore the clothes hanger to a wire, then tied the bathroom handle and the other end of the wire to the mop handle.
After the bucket was filled with water, Xia Lili struggled to move the bucket to the bathroom door and put the mop into the bucket, thus forming a simple door stopper.
I remember that the oxalic acid solvent used to clean toilets is highly corrosive, and dragging it onto a person is no different from burning them with fire.
Xia Lili quickly put on plastic gloves and held a bottle of oxalic acid solvent tightly in her hand.
This batch of oxalic acid solvent is the only weapon she can use to defend herself now!
The moment Xia Lili got the oxalic acid solvent, the lights in the bathroom and outside the door went out.
The surroundings fell into deathly silence.
Just like in the hallucination, the power went out.
Xia Lili bit her lips so hard that she could even hear the sound of water dripping from the faucet hitting the ground.
Xia Lili's tears fell on the floor tiles.
She doesn't want the 300,000 yuan that is delivered to her door!
She vowed to bring her cell phone into the bathroom every time she took a shower.
Time passes by every second.
This seems like a test of endurance.
Xia Lili held the oxalic acid solvent in one hand and the disassembled shower head in the other.
The metal shower head hits your head with quite a bit of force.
The bathroom window was so small and high that she had no way of getting out.
There is an alley outside the window, and occasionally people who take a shortcut pass by here.
She tried throwing things out of the small window.
Worried about hurting someone with objects thrown from high places and ending up in jail, Xia Lili only dared to throw small things: toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels...
However, just as she was struggling to throw something out of the window.
Xia Lili clearly heard a "crunch".
It was the sound of the wooden door of the wardrobe opening.
It was like a death warrant from hell, making Xia Lili's scalp tingle and her whole body tense.
