Chapter 93
Xu Ling’s voice was not loud, and could even be said to be weak.
But it sounded like thunder against the eardrums of the other three people.
Panpan’s fingers holding the flashlight inevitably trembled, but fortunately they soon stabilized again. “Brother” silently looked at the flashlight in her hand, then glanced at the door with the word “Fu” pasted on it not far away, and after a moment of hesitation, he quietly approached Qiu Yufei.
He whispered a few words in Qiu Yufei’s ear, and the latter looked at him in surprise, then his eyes calmed down, nodded firmly, turned around and rushed to the door panel beside him, stretched out his hand to hold the “Fu” that was about to fall off, and at the same time bit his right index finger fiercely -
and after two seconds, he turned around with a little embarrassment.
"...that one."
She held up her red, bitten finger: "Who has a knife? I can't seem to bite it open..."
"Brother": "..."
"I have one, I have one!" Panpan said quickly, half turning around and showing Qiu Yufei the pocket of her coat. Her only remaining hand was busy flashing a flashlight, so she had to ask others to help her get it.
"Brother" reached out and took out a small craft knife from her pocket. Qiu Yufei took it hastily, and was obviously stunned when she noticed the rust on the blade. After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and cut her finger hard.
Fortunately, she didn't feel any fear at the moment, and she cut it without hesitation. Blood soon oozed out of the cut. Qiu Yufei immediately followed what her "brother" said and smeared the blood as evenly as possible along the outline of the "Fu" character, and then pressed the paper against the door.
The loosened "Fu" character was fixed back, but it was not completely fixed. Once Qiu Yufei let go, it would droop down again. Qiu Yufei had no choice but to stand there and press tightly, turning her eyes to her "brother" for help. Seeing this,
her "brother" also frowned, and just as he opened his mouth to speak, Xu Ling's voice rang again.
"I remember, when Sister Tian first put this thing on, it took her ten minutes to get it completely stuck."
She said softly, her body wrapped in the light of the flashlight, and her figure visibly shrank a little. But she didn't seem to care at all, and even tilted her head to smile again, revealing her loose teeth as her mouth opened and closed:
"Ten minutes, that's a long time, right?"
"..." As soon as these words came out, the three people present were startled again, and their worried eyes fell on the flashlight in Panpan's hand again.
Even Qiu Yufei, who was the most confused about the situation, understood that the current situation was obviously not good.
The defense of the "Fu" character will take ten minutes to take effect, and the question is, can this flashlight last ten minutes? She didn't know the exact answer, but looking at Xu Ling's confident look, this matter was obviously very suspenseful.
At this time, is it better to just run away? Qiu Yufei thought uncertainly, but it seemed difficult - the corridor was too narrow, and Xu Ling was blocking the middle. Whether going up or down, she had to pass by her, which was quite risky.
And even if she ran away, at least one person had to stay behind to get the flashlight... The problem still existed. Once the flashlight failed, that person would definitely be finished.
If possible, she would rather go up and beat him up. The problem is that this is obviously very risky - or the saying goes, not feeling fear does not mean that the brave are invincible. The two big guys caught them by surprise. The opponent's skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If they really fight, it's hard to say who will win...
Holding the "Fu" character on the door tightly, Qiu Yufei's thoughts raced, but she couldn't make up her mind for a while. At this moment, Xu Ling spoke again, her voice was still weak, but her tone became much colder:
"Let me guess, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about how to run?
"It doesn't matter, just run if you want to. Go to whichever floors you want to go to, and go to whichever room you want to go to. Anyway, no matter where you run to, I will find you in the end.
"Then you will understand what regret is."
She said, tilting her head slightly, and her white eyes swept over "brother" and Qiu Yufei, and suddenly laughed softly.
"How ridiculous, I now understand that the so-called "family" is really not that important - vicious and superficial guys like you are not worthy of being members of my family!"
She still had a smile on her face, but her words were clearly gnashing. It happened that her teeth were already loose, and the more she talked, the more they shook. There were cracks on the thin teeth, and the gaps between the teeth were full of dark red blood lines, which looked indescribably scary.
Panpan listened to her expression, but always felt that something was wrong. He took a step back and secretly leaned towards the other two people: "What is it saying? It's so strange."
"..." "Brother" didn't say anything. Strange is one thing, but it not only felt strange, but also felt familiar.
So the inquiring eyes shifted to Qiu Yufei. The latter coughed and reminded awkwardly: "Yang Duoduo." What
the child said now was obviously paraphrased from the part she had just read not long ago, the part about Yang Duoduo's biological mother regretting it.
It seems that the perspective of Yang Duoduo's biological mother is still replaced... I have to say that this self-positioning is quite accurate.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yufei's expression became more complicated. "Brother" was silent again, and after a while, he whispered, "Don't read these next time."
Qiu Yufei responded with a horrified look. What do you mean next time? It's already this time, can you please not say such unlucky things!
But at this moment, something even more unlucky happened - the flashlight in Panpan's hand began to flash and made a crackling sound.
Qiu Yufei's face changed instantly, and before she could react, "Brother" had already stepped forward and stopped in front of her and Panpan.
"You two step back and go back to 302." He whispered while pushing the flashlight forward, "Walk backwards, don't pay attention to the words on the door, just go in and close the door directly."
"Don't look at it when you walk out. If you look at it, don't move your eyes away until you enter the door. Do you understand?"
"..." Qiu Yufei pursed her lips, was silent for a moment, and then nodded with difficulty.
The "Fu" character on the door will take at least a few minutes to take effect, and someone must be left outside. Although this was helpless, everyone knew it in their hearts.
Panpan's eyes widened when she heard this. She seemed to want to say something, but she held it back. She looked deeply at the "brother" holding the flashlight, and stepped back as he said.
Qiu Yufei was still pressing hard on the word "Fu" on the wall. When she saw her coming, she quickly opened the door a little. Panpan remembered the words of "brother" and tried to open her eyes wide. While staring at Xu Ling in the light circle, she walked backwards. After taking a few steps, she heard a "swish" sound -
the flashlight was completely extinguished.
The corridor was already dark, and once the original light source was extinguished, it seemed even darker and deeper, and all the outlines were swallowed up in an instant. Panpan took a breath and instinctively looked in the direction where the light source disappeared. However, the moment she turned her head, her heart skipped a beat.
Oops. She realized it belatedly.
She was originally looking in the direction of Xu Ling. And "brother" specifically instructed that if you look at Xu Ling, you must never look away...
Almost at the same time she thought of this, a pair of cold hands suddenly wrapped around her waist. She felt something approaching from behind, and a cold breath hit her cheek, and it seemed that something hard fell on her shoulders one after another.
...It was teeth.
This time, Panpan reacted immediately - those things that fell on her were most likely Xu Ling's fallen teeth.
"Sister Panpan." As if to confirm her thoughts, Xu Ling's soft voice rang in her ears again, "You are different from them. I know."
"Would you please come home with me? You can be a sister or a sister. I promise that I will return my arm to you, and I can also take your mother in. Don't you want her to be more perfect? She is just a waste now..."
...No, she is not.
Panpan argued in her heart, but her body seemed to be entangled by cold chains and could not move at all. The inexplicable fear flooded over her like the sea water, pressing her chest to ache and making it difficult to breathe. She wanted to speak, but she couldn't say a word.
However, she soon discovered another more frightening fact -
not only could she not make a sound. She could not hear any sound.
Whether it was her "brother" or Qiu Yufei, they were right next to her, but she could not hear any sound. She tried to find the outlines of other people, but all she could see was pitch-black darkness.
The darkness enveloped her from all directions, like a thick wall, isolating her from everything around her. The only thing she could sense was the cold touch on her waist and Xu Ling's subtle voice, like the roots of a plant, drilling into her skin and bones inch by inch.
"Help me, Sister Panpan."
"I'm alone, you're worse off than being alone. The two of us are more suitable to be the head of the family, aren't we?"
"Look, they don't want you anymore, only I'm still here..."
No, no... all wrong!
Someone come to save me, anyone, come and save me -
hearing the voice getting closer, Panpan instinctively closed her eyes, as if this would keep the voice further away. At this moment, through her eyelids, she clearly felt that something bright seemed to pass by outside.
She opened her eyes in surprise, and what was imprinted on her eyes was a dazzling light.
It wasn't very bright, but it was more than enough to illuminate the corridor. The thick darkness surrounding them was broken by the light. Panpan blinked with difficulty, but before he could react, he was pulled away by someone beside him. Then he heard an angry scream -
it was Xu Ling's voice.
It had originally hidden behind Panpan. As soon as Panpan was pulled away, all the light hit it again, making it unable to move again.
Xu Ling covered her eyes with her hands and cursed again, revealing her toothless mouth. Panpan looked at it in shock, and then he noticed that not only were its teeth falling out, but its lips seemed to have begun to crooked.
Looking around again, Qiu Yufei and "brother" were there. The one who just pulled him away should be "brother"...
but the light did not come from any of them. Looking closely, it seemed to be shining from the stairs.
So who was it? Appearing at this time, he was just like a god - with such emotion, Panpan looked up with emotion, her sight followed the light all the way back, and finally fell on the figure carrying the lamp.
... She saw a charred figure.
Yes, charred. The kind of charred that easily reminds people of a raging fire. The figure just stood on the stairs like that, as if one person could carry a horror movie.
... Looking more closely, the figure seemed to be carrying a disco ball. But it didn't turn.
Panpan: "..."
After a moment of silence, Panpan quietly withdrew her gaze.
And leaned towards Qiu Yufei.
"That." She spoke softly, trying not to appear frightened. "I'm a little scared."
"? Scared of what? Xu Ling?" Qiu Yufei was trying to get closer to the stairs. Hearing this, she patted her shoulder soothingly. "It's okay. She's already trapped."
... No, I'm afraid of the one that trapped Xu Ling up there...
Panpan thought silently, and moved closer to Qiu Yufei.
Just at this moment, she heard a burst of hurried footsteps. More light suddenly fell from above, and at the same time, a familiar voice fell:
"Did you catch up? You caught up, right? Fortunately, fortunately...
" "Where's the disco team? All of the disco team, follow up! Follow the previously arranged actions, all stand aside, don't block other people's light... Yufei? ?"
Someone poked his head out of the stairs, revealing a familiar face: "You came out? Are you okay? "
It was Xu Ming. "
Qiu Yufei looked up when she heard the voice, and Panpan and "brother" also looked up. It must be said that with Xu Ling as a contrast to the charred figure, this fierce face looked handsome.
Qiu Yufei had guessed that it was Xu Ming when she saw the A Jiao, and nodded quickly. So Xu Ming hurried downstairs again, twisting his body flexibly, and soon squeezed through a pile of A Jiao that were arranged in a disorderly manner. The brilliant light of the disco ball hit her profile, making her look even more eerie and enchanting.
There were about seven or eight Ajiao standing on the stairs. Some stood in front carrying disco balls, and some stood in the back holding searchlights. The different lights intertwined and overlapped, making the originally dim corridor look like a colorful stage.
And Xu Ling, like a miserable protagonist fixed by the spotlight, pursed her lips tightly and stared at Xu Ming who came down from the stairs.
"I know you." She whispered, and her voice sounded a little aggrieved and pitiful. "You are my sister."
Xu Ming ignored her and just walked towards other people. Because the space in the corridor was limited, she could only stay on the stairs, lowering her head to communicate with Qiu Yufei and others. After a moment, she nodded in understanding.
"That's okay. These lights will be enough to illuminate it for a long time." Xu Ling heard her say this, "Yufei, are you free? Can you accompany Panpan to look for her arm first? It should be in Room 301. And this one... do you mind calling you Ms. Tian? If it's convenient, why don't you go downstairs first? The space in this corridor needs to be vacated... Po Haitang? Where is Po Haitang?" As
she spoke, she turned her head and called out another person's name. Xu Ling's eyes flashed a few times, but she bit her lip as if she had made up her mind, and began to move back hard.
As a being that can also create and induce fear, the impact of this light on it is more reflected in the restriction of movement. Like now, surrounded by so much light, even if it just moves a little, it will feel a fine needle-like pain deep in its soul.
But it had to endure the pain. At this time, if it stayed where it was, it would be doomed to die. Besides, its current position was not without hope.
In order to control Panpan, it had deliberately moved behind Panpan. This resulted in its current position being on the right inner side of the corridor, which was closer to Room 302. It
just so happened that the door of Room 302 was open at this time, and the blessing character on the door had not yet taken effect. Because of the angle, the light did not fall into the interior of the house. In other words, as long as it crawled hard and crawled into the house, it could get rid of the light... Once it
entered the house and closed the door, it would be safe. No matter how many lights they had, could they still illuminate the house? Even if there was a way to break through the door, where there were furniture, it would be impossible for the light to find every corner. It would always have a place to hide.
All that was left to do was wait, wait to establish a new connection with the monsters in the building, wait for those damn lights to become ineffective. When that time came, it would rush out and kill everyone except the sister...
It could do it.
As long as it crawled over first, as long as it crawled behind the door first...
Come on, Xu Ling. Yang Duoduo could climb to the top with a broken leg, so why can't you do it!
Xu Ling gritted her remaining teeth and tried her best to cheer herself up. Just as one hand was about to touch the door panel, another round of footsteps was heard, and the guy called "Po Haitang" finally came down with a thump. He
was also a familiar person, the "sister" who was only good in appearance.
Xu Ling looked at it unhappily, and saw Xu Ming turned around and whispered to Po Haitang. Then Po Haitang cried out, "
Is it difficult for me to watch here and not let it crawl away?" Xu Ming said, pulling him down, "Hurry up, I have something else to do, I'll leave this to you."
"Okay, okay..." Po Haitang still looked a little reluctant, but still agreed. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask,
"But Teacher Xu Ming, didn't you bring all the lights down? What are you going to do up there?"
...Brought all down?
Xu Ling felt relieved when she heard that, and immediately climbed harder.
Not long after she climbed out, she heard Xu Ming say, "The first batch of lights is ready, but there is still a second batch."
Xu Ling: "..."
?
What batch? Why did it seem to hear something strange?
"The second batch has almost been loaded and can be brought down. Then we have to put the third batch into 501 for loading..."
Xu Ming said, and raised his hand to point to the side: "These disco balls are ready-made from suppliers. In fact, I have specially asked someone to make new lights, both large and small. The big ones are the headlights of cars, the high beam ones. In addition, I also ordered a batch of soft light lights, and then I will give her one on all four sides, sealing her up and down, left and right. I have asked the building manager, and the force can at least seal her for ten days to half a month..." "
..." Xu Ling was silent for a moment, and didn't care whether she would be discovered or not. She reached out her hand regardless of everything and pushed the door panel in front of her with all her might.
"The small lamp is a little difficult to make. I have to supervise the work. I plan to make a small flashlight specifically for lighting up those corners to prevent it from hiding. I also ordered a small bulb. If it hides in a corner like under the bed, I can use the small bulb to light it. If I place it in a circle along the corner, it can be blocked for a long time."
"…………"
The thin fingertips suddenly froze, stopping at the moment when they were about to touch the door.
The next second, Xu Ming's casual words completely shattered its hope -
"The floor manager also said that there are actually spare keys in this building, which are specially used to open the doors of each room. I have to go find them later, so that no matter which room it hides in, I won't be afraid..."
Xu Ling: "..."
This is not my sister - at this moment, it suddenly became extremely convinced.
Absolutely not.
Such a vicious, shallow and terrible person is not worthy of being her family! Absolutely not worthy, not worthy!!
