I became superman when I died

Chapter 167 Should be a dead person
Jack stepped up the old stairs, walked through the long and narrow corridor, and took out the key.The hoarse deadbolts creaked, as if tired of years of locking together.

Jack walked across the living room, opened the door and entered the bedroom.The only light source in the dark environment was a broken TV, which reflected the walls into an ice blue.

The skinny woman was lying on the bed, the skin and flesh on her severely malnourished body was as thin as a cicada's wing, and her knuckles were protruding everywhere.The uneven skin is quite strange under the fluorescent light.

The woman raised her eyelids when she saw him enter the door: "Failed again?"

"Otherwise?" Jack said savagely, "a bunch of blind guys. They say I have no resume, no experience, and I'm not suitable for this job.
grass.Talking like they can do anything, a bunch of fat stupid guys"

The woman sighed lightly and did not speak.

But this sigh seemed to touch her husband's sensitive nerves.He immediately raised his head like a stimulated beast, and said angrily, "What do you mean by sighing?"

The woman was frightened: "It's nothing, I just... just feel a little pity. But it's okay, we can look for a job tomorrow, there will always be a chance"

"You just think I'm useless, don't you? You're thinking we can't make money, and we can't even pay the water bill." He said angrily, "So you never thought of moving your matchstick Go out like an ass and find a way to make some money?"

The woman fell silent.

This isn't the first failed application, and it certainly won't be the last.They have been swirling in this vortex for a long time, as if there is an ominous cloud hanging over the sky, which will not dissipate for a long time.

Jack had a fit of exasperation, but soon got bored without a response.He took off his clothes and socks and jumped directly onto the bed, with a strange smell on his body.

He picked up the remote control by the bed and changed the channel he was interested in.The wife followed him for a few minutes and felt bored for a while, so she lay down with her back to him, pulled the quilt on her head and pretended to be asleep.

But Jack turned up the volume on the TV and wouldn't stop for a moment.

Now there was a man on TV jokingly saying, "Honey, where are you?"

Then there was a burst of giggles, accompanied by the sound of opening the door: "It's so handsome, and it's also mighty."

It's the kind of midnight party show you never want the kids at home to see.

There was a sudden buzz.The TV screen suddenly went out, the only light source disappeared, and the whole room fell into darkness.

Jack broke out again, cursed vaguely twice, and glared viciously at his wife beside him.

"The electricity bill is gone?"

"Shouldn't it be?" The woman got up from the quilt in a daze, "The last handover should be... last week?"

It's too fast anyway.

"Maybe it's a power outage."

dong dong dong.

knocking.

"Who is it?" Jack asked impatiently.

Then he felt a cold hand grasp his arm, shaking uneasily.

"What are you doing?" Jack frowned and looked at his wife who was shaking like a sieve.

"He knocked on the bedroom door." The woman said tremblingly.

Only then did Jack realize the problem.There were only the two of them in this shabby house, and the knock on the door undoubtedly came from the living room, so who was in their living room?

An inexplicable fear welled up in my heart, and the ominous darkness made this emotion more intense.

But Jack didn't think he was a coward.The unexpected visit made him a little nervous, but it didn't take away his fighting spirit.He picked up the bedside lamp and jumped out of bed, dragged the long cable connected to the plug, and walked lightly towards the door.

He took a deep breath and knocked open the door.

But there is nothing behind the door.

Silent darkness mocked the living room like an invisible wall.A terrible, suffocating breath is echoing in this space.

Then the voice came again.

This time it was the sound of knuckles tapping on a window.

For a moment, Jack felt that Jane was frozen, and his heart beat almost out of control due to the great horror.

This is the ninth floor.No one can knock on that window outside.

He yelled, and threw the lamp in his hand towards the window desperately.With a crisp impact, the bedside lamp rolled to the ground, and deep cracks appeared on the window.

There is a figure behind the crack.

A skinny old man stood outside the window expressionlessly, his wrinkled face like a dead man, and his empty eyes clearly reflected the dark room.

Fear finally swallowed Jack in the dark.

He began to hiss and scream, his body desperately backed away from the window with his hands and feet like a demon, shouting something indistinctly, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.

Obviously Jack was very unconscious at that time.He didn't even notice when there was an extra person in the room.

"Okay, don't be nervous, it's all right sir."

Jiang Bei comforted the out-of-control strong man.

"You don't have to tug on my cloak anymore, no one will hurt you"

"what?"

Jack came back to his senses, raised his head in a daze, and saw the young man in blue uniform in front of him, and he didn't know when he was desperately tugging at the other man's cloak.

The wife poked out half of her head behind the bedroom door, secretly observing the situation, still shivering.

Jack looked at Jiangbei blankly: "Are you superman? But what's wrong with you?"

"I'm rushing to another place, just passing by, I heard your voice calling for help to see the situation."

Jack glanced at the window with lingering fear.

The bedside lamp thrown by him fell to one side, and there were clear cobweb-like cracks on the window.But the terrifying old face behind the window seemed to dangle in front of his eyes, lingering in his mind.

No, that's not an illusion.

Intuition told him so.

That is true.

He turned his head in shock: "Superman. Did you see any strange or supernatural phenomena when you came here?"

Jiang Bei shook his head: "I only see what you are afraid of. Maybe the other party has already left when I came. Tell me in detail, what did you see?"

"I um. Okay."

Jack let out a long breath.

Jiang Bei doesn't often move around in this area, and Jack's knowledge of Superman only stays on the content of the Internet.But even so, he also knew that this was a real boss, or at least that's what was rumored on the Internet.Now he can only hope that the ability of this Superman himself is not much worse than the rumors on the Internet.

"I saw an old man outside that window." Jack glanced at the window with lingering fear, and paused, "And he looks, uh, it should be my father."

"So he's a transcendent?" Jiang Bei asked.

"Do not."

Jack shuddered, and his expression became frightened again.

"...he should be a dead man."
