absurd deduction game.

Chapter 243 Nightmare (4) - Corridor
The weather is getting cooler, the nights are getting longer and colder.

Zhou Xue drove into the community without saying a word the whole time, only the host on the car radio station talked about today's topic with his partner in a humorous tone.

In the darkness, the street lamps came on one by one, and the high-rise buildings were like giant beasts dormant under the concrete and steel bars, passing behind the car windows with a biting coldness and shadow.

Zhou Xue's parking space is just downstairs from her own house. She looked up at the home that was getting closer and closer, and a sense of resistance and fear welled up from the bottom of her heart.

The restlessness made her short of breath, she looked at the time, it was only 07:30.

In order to perfect and revise the plot, she worked overtime for two hours today, and when she came back, it was completely dark.

The community has been newly built in the past two years, and the street lights are brand new. It is rare for them to flicker occasionally like they are in poor contact.

Just at this time, the radio suddenly faltered, and the signal sound of Salsa was particularly obvious in the quiet and deserted space.

Zhou Xue's forehead twitched, and she directly reached out to turn off the radio, only then did she get rid of the noise that could easily cause bad associations.

But after closing it, the car fell into a deathly silence.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but she always feels that someone is blowing air on the back of her neck, the cool wind makes her shudder from the spine to the scalp.

Moreover, she has a feeling that today's car is heavier than usual.

The road gradually shortened, and finally stopped at a residential building. The residents in the building had their lights on, and the squares of bright light made Zhou Xue feel at ease.

She was about to turn off the engine and get out of the car as usual, when she suddenly heard a muffled sound.

"Boom."

With the sound, the car also swayed slightly, as if something was pushing it.

Zhou Xue froze all of a sudden, and after a long while, there was no new voice, so she mustered up the courage to look back.

Obviously there was nothing, but she had already made up a pale grimace in sharp contrast to the red.

Probably because she was too focused, she let out a short scream when the car made another muffled sound under her nose.

"……is it you?"

After yelling, Zhou Xue hurriedly covered her mouth, and then made a sound with a sense of probing.

No one answered her.

She got goose bumps all over her body, after thinking about it, she got out of the car like throwing a hot potato, closed the door and hurried upstairs.

Stepping on the soles of the shoes in the empty corridor caused the voice-activated light to light up for a short time, until a certain floor, the voice-activated light was probably broken, and no matter what sound Zhou Xue made, there was no response.

Zhou Xue, who was absent-minded, regained her senses and identified it. The stairs above her head were on the fourth floor leading to the fifth floor...and her house lived on the fifth floor.

At times like this, she didn't think it was a coincidence at all.

There is something nearby... Such a realization appeared in her mind.

With her hands trembling in the cuffs of her coat, Zhou Xue bit the bullet and walked up, and suddenly stopped at the corner.

She saw a dark silhouette looking down at her from above!

The only bit of light leaked from the small skylight in the corridor, and it shone on the figure.

The figure was slender with drooping hands, one of which seemed to be holding something, and stood right in front of her, blocking all the way.

When Zhou Xue saw "it", it was too late, it was too close to her, even if she wanted to pretend she didn't see anything, it was impossible.

Her lips moved, and she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, so she pinched herself deeply, and the sharp pain came along with her confiscated strength, which made her feel a little dazed.

...wasn't it a dream?

What Fang Xing said to her at noon today appeared in her mind, and the description of the relative who foamed at the mouth became more and more vivid.

Now there is a problem.

Does she run... or does she not run?

These thoughts lingered in my mind for only a moment, and then the figure above said: "Zhou Xue? Are you back?"

"Eh?" Zhou Xue uttered a monosyllable in doubt.

Such a familiar voice.

A beam of light appeared in the hand of the figure in front of her, from the flashlight on the back of the phone.

The flashlight was reversed, and a face that she saw every day appeared in her sight.

The exquisite meatball head makes the figure look playful and cute, and instantly lost all descriptions related to horror, and the other party even raised the garbage bag in the other hand: "I came out to throw out the garbage, and found that the light was broken, and you just happened to Go upstairs and startle me."

"Liu Ruru..." Zhou Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Anyone would feel lucky to see a very good female neighbor in this environment.

"What's the matter with you?" Zhao Ruru asked with concern as he looked at the mission target that he had waited for for a day.

In her live broadcast room, the barrage that had been silent for a long time finally became active again as she touched the mission target.

[Finally there is movement on Ruru's side...]
[It’s okay, I watched the other groups for a while, and it’s late at night when I come back here]
[Upstairs, I watched Xing Huahua and typed the code for an afternoon]
[Xing Huahua is so beautiful, but it’s a bit boring, I also watched it for two hours and slipped away]
[Did the hexagram master scare Zhou Xue?]
[Hahaha before the ghosts appeared, the scariest one was actually Zhao Ruru]
Zhou Xue continued to walk upstairs, and responded to Zhao Ruru's concern: "It's okay, I'm a little tired from work, and I've always been restless recently."

"Eat a delicious meal and relax!" Zhao Ruru's identity information has a reminder of the relationship between her characters Liu Ruru and Zhou Xue. They are residents on the same floor, and they usually have a very good relationship. They belong to those who can go shopping together during the holidays. degree.

In order to create better conditions to protect Zhou Xue, she took advantage of the situation and asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Working overtime today, Zhou Xue hadn't had dinner yet. She was going to make some casually when she got home, so she shook her head.

Zhao Ruru smiled: "Then come to my house for dinner tonight. I happened to buy a lot of vegetables. My hands were itchy and I wanted to cook, but I couldn't eat all by myself."

Faced with such an invitation with high emotional intelligence, Zhou Xue naturally had no reason to refuse. Looking at the dark corridor, she suddenly lost the courage to enter the house alone, and simply said: "I will go take out the trash with you."

The two went downstairs together, Zhou Xue tried her best to stay beside Zhao Ruru without looking sideways, but Zhao Ruru didn't ignore the license plate number of Zhou Xue's car that she found during the day.

Glancing towards the car, she frowned.

Is it an illusion?

Why does it feel like there is an uneasy aura hanging over the car?

As a divinator, she sometimes has specious premonitions like this, which are usually not wrong.

Keeping an eye out for Zhou Xue's car, Zhao Ruru did nothing. She hasn't got any information about the mission at this stage yet, so she doesn't know where Zhou Xue's crisis comes from, so it's inconvenient to interfere.

At dinner tonight, she will be able to use her advantage in intelligence gathering to make Zhou Xueyan endless!
Throwing garbage was just an excuse, she just calculated the time for Zhou Xue's return and waited in the corridor ahead of time.

Two women with different thoughts went upstairs side by side, leaving behind a series of footsteps.

"Do you feel..." Halfway through, Zhou Xue's ears moved, her voice lowered into a breathy tone, "It seems...someone is following us?"

It seemed that their footsteps would always be mixed with an untimely third type. If it was other residents in the building, the footsteps would not be so soft.

It was always slow for half a second, as if it was intentionally overlapping with their footsteps, not wanting to be discovered by them, but it seemed that it was not well controlled because of the distance.

That's what makes it suspicious.

Zhao Ruru listened to it with a sinking heart, and found that it was indeed the case. She also felt trembling in her heart, thinking to herself, could it be that she was about to be found by ghosts before she had time to know anything?

She hasn't reunited with Yu Xing and Zhao Yijiu yet, she's not suitable for confronting ghosts by herself, hey!

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The owner who followed their footsteps downstairs seemed to know that he was noticed, and suddenly stopped hiding himself, accelerated his speed, and stomped heavily on every step!

Zhao Ruru broke out in cold sweat instantly, and tugged at Zhou Xue: "Run!"

She and Zhou Xue didn't have time to say anything, and ran to the fifth floor with all their strength. Zhao Ruru took out the key while running, and inserted the key into the door lock before the people below caught up, and the door opened with a snap .

"Come in!" Zhao Ruru pushed the short-breathing Zhou Xue into the door, and he also dodged in. As the door closed, footsteps followed the door!

Zhou Xue leaned against the door, not daring to speak loudly, and could only open her eyes in horror at the unlit entrance and asked, "What's going on... what is it?"

I still want to ask you!

Zhao Ruru murmured in her heart, her heart beat faster, not much better than Zhou Xue, she put her eyes on the cat's eyes and looked out.

There was indeed a tall man outside the door.

In the dark scene, only the outline of the upper body can be seen. Guessing from the height of the viewing angle, it is conservatively estimated to be more than 1.8 meters. The figure stops outside the door, with broad and straight shoulders... Wait?
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this figure was very familiar.

Zhao Ruru took a breath and stared suspiciously at the figure——

Guessing that she was looking at Maoyan, the figure turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone, and suddenly, a smiling face appeared.

Zhao Ruru: "..." Damn it.

It turned out to be Yu Xing.

This is scaring my old lady again!
Then, she saw Yu Xing lowered his head and fiddled with the phone for a while, and pointed the lit screen to the cat's eyes.

That is the phone memo interface.

Zhao Ruru's eyes were almost blind before he could make out the words on it.

[While Zhou Xue was afraid, she got all the information out.You hold her back while I sneak into her house to have a look. 】

After a while, the screen moved away, and Yu Xing used the light to give Zhao Ruru a "yeah".

"..." Zhao Ruru realized that Yu Xing deliberately created a flaw in the sound of her footsteps, and then quickly caught up to create a sense of urgency, all of which were helping her break Zhou Xue's mind.

Presumably, Yu Xing had already been in contact with Zhou Xue during the day, but for some reason, Zhou Xue did not fully trust Yu Xing, so Yu Xing chased him home.

But...yeah, my lord!Do you think you are a sunny and cheerful persona!

In Zhao Ruru's live broadcast room, the audience who saw everything with her eyes were shocked.

[I really thought it was a ghost coming]
[I'm getting nervous, why don't you just show me this? ]
[pants off]
[Who said Confucianism is the scariest just now, I think Xing is the scariest]
[yeah! ]
[What did he say?My eyesight is not strengthened, so I can’t see clearly]
[Xing said, he wants to sneak into Zhou Xue's house to have a look, and let the divination master hold Zhou Xue back]
……

Zhao Ruru's face turned away from the cat's eyes, and he said in fear, "Let's go... What is that? Why are you chasing us? Or me or you?"

Zhou Xue trembled: "Probably me..."

Zhao Ruru didn't give her a chance to make an excuse: "Did something happen to you recently? Do you want to call the police?"

Zhou Xue hurriedly said: "No!"

Zhao Ruru reached out to turn on the light, and the room suddenly became brighter, and both of them saw each other's pale face with fright.

There was inquiry in her eyes: "Why didn't you call the police? I saw a knife in his hand! Maybe he was a pervert, or worse - a murderer? What if he comes again next time!"

"The police won't believe it. They will only say that I am mentally ill. Believe me, they will definitely say that." Zhou Xue leaned against the wall, "I still have to work, if I delay..."

Zhao Ruru keenly caught the key words: "You still think about work at this time, you are too dedicated."

"If I don't finish 'Nightmare', they will really come to me..." Zhou Xue stretched out her hand to cover her face, and at her feet was a handbag that fell to the ground at some point.

Zhao Ruru is not afraid at all now. After a false alarm, she learned that Yu Xing's thigh is around. Even if there is a ghost, she will not be without self-protection ability--the protection of teammates is also self-protection ability One kind!

She softened her tone, touched Zhou Xue's back, full of consolation: "You... I believe you, you can tell me what happened to you? You will definitely go to the worst ending if you support yourself How about this, let me make dinner first, how about we chat while eating?"

The role of "Liu Ruru" is much closer than "Fang Xing" in terms of relationship, and she is a girl. Zhou Xue didn't have any defenses, so she nodded after thinking about it: "Okay...thank you, and I'll trouble you."

……

Fortunately, Yu turned off the light on his mobile phone in a leisurely manner, and leaned against the corner of the stairwell to listen to the wall.

His five senses are all sharper than ordinary people, and so is his hearing. He heard the conversation between the two women through the door without any effort.

In this case, information collection will be left to Zhao Ruru, which happens to be her job.

He waited for the two to leave the entrance, and took out a thin wire from his jeans pocket.

Fortunately, this community does not use fingerprint locks, but key locks that have become very popular in recent years. With his lockpicking ability...

After a while, Yu Xing carefully opened the door and walked in.

A chilling feeling instantly permeated the whole body.

He pressed the light switch on the wall, and suddenly, a beam of reddish light shone on him.

"This color?" He murmured, squinting his eyes and looking at the furnishings in the house.

This house is not big, it looks like Zhou Xue, a girl who just graduated a few years ago, can afford it.

The layout is not too careful, and there is not much personality in it, except that there is a paper prick next to the TV.

Yu Xing began to wonder if the ghost this time could affect people's minds, otherwise, who would put the paper figurines for funerals at home to admire?
He walked over slowly and glanced at the corner of the wall.

...long tangled hair.

...dirty fingernails.

The things used to exaggerate the atmosphere in these horror films can be seen everywhere.

Suddenly, there was a clattering sound behind him.

He turned his head again.

At the entrance, the women's shoes that were neatly stacked on the shoe rack just now fell to the ground. In the middle, a pair of red cloth shoes that I hadn't seen before was neatly placed there at some point, with the toes pointing at Yu Xing direction.

　Audience: This man is not a good person at first sight!Scared to death.

　　Xu Shu: Sure enough, this man is a ghost!No matter how much he pretends to be a human being, his behavior style still cannot be changed!
