As night fell, the entire city was shrouded in darkness.
Wang Yan lay on the bed, wrapped tightly in the quilt, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
I saw a news report a few days ago... Several girls have mysteriously disappeared recently, and the Public Security Bureau is reminding everyone to avoid living alone...
This incident has always stayed in her mind.
The most recent disappearance occurred in the room next to hers. With the intervention of the Public Security Bureau, some of the grandfather-level security guards nearby were replaced by strong young men, and there are patrols 24 hours a day.
Looking at the flashlights outside flashing around, she didn't feel safe even in such a strict situation.
I heard my bestie mention it during the day when we were chatting. It was that kind of thing. The reason they captured people was to make them brides!
I heard that they will not stop until they have captured 99 brides.
There is a lot of similar information.
Ghost marriage, vampires, perverted murderers...
…
Wang Yan shuddered when she thought of the scenes in the movie. After a long time... She felt a little stuffy under the quilt, and her brain was dizzy and she felt a little lacking in oxygen.
I lifted a corner of the quilt and felt a rush of cold air, which instantly made me feel more energetic.
Tossing and turning, she always felt that someone was standing in the corner in the dark, staring at her.
Maybe there's someone in the closet, someone in the living room, or something hanging upside down from the ceiling...
There was even something under my bed!
Just wait until you close your eyes!
The more I think about it, the stronger the feeling becomes in my mind!
Picking up the phone, she urgently needed someone to chat with.
"Are you asleep?"
"No, what happened to my wife?"
Seeing her best friend’s reply, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
One of the signs of danger in horror movies is the inability to communicate with the outside world. It seems that I was overthinking it.
…
"The story you told me during the day about kidnapping people as brides was so horrifying that it frightened me so much that I couldn't sleep at night."
Girlfriend: "Are you so timid?"
"Someone disappeared in the room next to mine. Wouldn't you be scared if it were you?"
Best friend: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You should move out now!"
The concern from her best friend eased Wang Yan's nervous mood a lot. She turned sideways and changed to a comfortable position to continue chatting.
"I just transferred the money to the landlord a few days ago. Now, apart from living expenses, how can I afford to move..."
These days, finding a high-paying and suitable job is much harder than finding a boyfriend.
I found this house a few days ago. The rent was surprisingly cheap, only half of the average price nearby in a year. I signed the contract on impulse.
My best friend: "I told you at the time that cheap houses are not available for rent, but you didn't believe me. Well, I'm alone too, so I'll stay with you tonight!"
"Thanks!"
"We are friends, and it's my duty to protect my wife!"
After receiving the reply, Wang Yan smiled and huddled back into the quilt.
The movie mentioned a method that all monsters and demons will not harm the person in the quilt. This is the rule.
I hope it’s true!
…
Tick-tock...tick-tock...
An unknown amount of time had passed when Wang Yan, who was lost in thought, suddenly woke up with a start, sweating profusely, as if she had had a nightmare. She picked up her cell phone, but the dazzling screen light made it impossible for her to open her eyes.
Have you slept for more than an hour?
I turned my head and glanced out the window. In the dark night, there were a few faint lights flickering, which made me feel inexplicably depressed.
Tick-tock...tick-tock...
The sound of dripping water rang out clearly, echoing throughout the empty room, and seemed particularly harsh in the silence of the night.
That location seems to be in the kitchen!
Didn’t I turn off the faucet?
Or is it leaking?
Impossible...absolutely impossible!
Wang Yan curled up in a corner, clutching her phone tightly with her five fingers, and quickly sent a message to her best friend.
"Have you arrived yet? Where are you? I'm so scared..."
…
Seeing that her best friend had not responded yet, Wang Yan called her again, but no one answered. Even the system voice on the phone... became a little distorted, weird, and creepy!
Wang Yan only felt her heart beating faster, as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
What’s even more frightening is that the sound of dripping water in the distance is getting louder and faster!
It didn't feel like dripping water, but more like someone had opened the main valve and the water was pouring out.
After waiting for a few minutes, there was no other abnormality except the sound of flowing water.
Unable to bear the strange noise, Wang Yan turned on the flashlight function on her mobile phone, bit her lips, bent over and walked towards the kitchen step by step.
Passing through the pitch-black living room, Wang Yan relied on the flashlight to barely see the path. She walked to the kitchen door, stopped, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to push open the kitchen door.
She was stunned for a moment.
It’s not my kitchen that’s leaking!
The sound comes from next door!
Did the person next door forget to turn off the water when he went to bed?
Just as Wang Yan was about to go to the next door to ask, she suddenly realized that there was no way there could be someone on the other side of this wall!
The owner of that house disappeared a few days ago.
So this water is...
Wang Yan only felt a chill rising from her back, and her teeth kept chattering.
…
Dong Dong Dong~
The sudden knock on the door was like a death knell, causing Wang Yan's heart to tremble violently and the mobile phone in her hand to fall to the ground.
Peng~
Immediately, the last ray of light went out!
Dong Dong Dong~
The knocking on the door didn't stop!
It was like a sharp knife stimulating Wang Yan's nerves. Wang Yan suppressed her inner fear and quickly picked up the phone.
