Chapter 10 The Only Family

Normal people will definitely be scared and panicked after encountering ghost stories, and a moment's error in judgment will lead to death. However, Gao Ming belongs to another type of person. He directly envisions the worst scenario and lowers his expectations to the underworld before taking action.

2409 Fang Shuqi: "Brother Wang and Xiaoqiu have probably met with misfortune. Only by uniting can the remaining residents have a chance of survival. I hope Zhao Xi's family can stand up and explain clearly, because Zhao Xi will return to this building. , it must be related to you!"

2304 Li Li: "Although Zhao Xi was picked up, we have always treated Zhao Xi as a family member. But you neighbors, when you see him calling him Brother Zhao, you actually look down on him at all in your heart! Rumors are spread behind his back and he is even fabricated. Do you think I don’t know what happened between me and him? Zhao Xi was forced to death by you guys!"

Li Li's video screen was shaking. She lived on the third floor and was very scared. She hugged her child and opened the door to the living room.

The body was on the second floor, and she didn't dare go down, so she wanted to run upstairs and hide in someone else's house first.

Zhao Xi's adoptive mother followed Li Li, tears sliding down her wrinkles. The basket she held on her arm was filled with paper money.

"How long have you brought these things with you? It's you who lured him back!" Li Li scolded Zhao Xi's adoptive mother. At this time, the sound of flesh and blood crawling came from the dark corridor again, as if several hands were grabbing him. Jump up the steps.

Li Li was so frightened that she screamed. She didn't care about the old lady or the video, and ran away.

The screen was shaking and I couldn't see anything clearly.

2409 Fang Shuqi: "Li Li, you don't even care about your own mother-in-law?"

2501 Huang Mingming: "Why don't we all hide on the top floor and get together to find a solution? It's not safe to stay in the room anyway."

2607 Jiaqi: "No! Hiding upstairs is not an option. Sooner or later a corpse will come to your door!"

2707 Yao Yuan: "My house is the farthest from the corridor. Everyone, please come to my house first."

2409 Fang Shuqi: "Teacher Yao? Are you, are you healed?"

Fang Shuqi and several other neighbors were particularly shocked when they saw Yao Yuan speaking in the video. Yao Yuan is in his 70s, a retired police school teacher, a model anti-grabbing officer, good at unlocking and fighting, knows all kinds of fraud, and has excellent physical fitness.But two years ago, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Many people in Lijing Apartment knew this. Teacher Yao, who was once tall and burly, became so thin that he lost his human appearance in two years. He could only sit in a wheelchair and could not speak. , it is very difficult to eat.

"I..." The old man pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "I don't know why this happened. Three months ago, I gave up treatment and waited for death at home. I could hardly get out of bed. But tonight , I feel that my illness is completely cured. Not only do I not feel the pain, but my body has also returned to its best condition."

Seeing that no one believed it, the old man silently took off his shirt while talking on the phone. His skin was almost like that of a dead person, pale and bloodless, with a large number of black blood vessels bulging in his chest and abdomen, as if he was about to burst his body and merge with the world: " I really don’t know why I became like this, but I am very conscious and I am still me.”

No one spoke in the group video. When the neighbors saw Teacher Yao's body in the video, they unconsciously showed fear and disgust. Their looks also made Teacher Yao very uncomfortable.

Putting on his coat, Teacher Yao has experienced many things and knows that it is useless to say anything now, so he no longer proposes that everyone hide in his house.

The neighbors did not believe Teacher Yao, but Gao Ming was an exception. He had seen parents who had been replaced. Those "unknown" beings that could change were exactly like real people and would not leave such obvious flaws at all.

"According to the information revealed on the back of the photo, people who are dying can also enter the game. Does Teacher Yao fall into this category?"

All the normal neighbors in the group video made Gao Ming feel that something was wrong. On the contrary, it was Teacher Yao who looked at the biggest problem and made Gao Ming feel friendly.

"If there are ghosts among seemingly normal neighbors, they should direct their malice towards real living people and let the living people kill the living people."

Grasping the door handle, Gao Ming wanted to leave the room where Zhao Xi lived and go find Teacher Yao himself.

Gao Ming had a good idea, but as soon as he opened the door a crack, he heard rapid footsteps. It seemed that Li Li happened to be passing by on the fifth floor with her son in her arms.

"Should we tie up their mother and son?" Gao Ming leaned against the door: "This is the easiest way to determine the identity of the neighbors."

After just half a second of hesitation, Gao Ming was ready to put his idea into action. Li Li and her son were "alone". This was a rare opportunity.

"Group video can help me understand the situation of other neighbors, but it also puts me under their surveillance. What I do next is not suitable for them to see."

Covering the camera, Gao Ming opened the living room door and entered the corridor.He ran to catch up as fast as he could, but he didn't see Li Li until he reached the seventh floor.

"There's a problem! Li Li is holding a child. Even if she sets off a few seconds earlier than me, she can't reach the seventh floor faster than me!"

There was a faint rotten smell in the air. He looked downstairs. The lower floors were dark and lifeless, as quiet as the life in which Zhao Xi was killed.

"They're not really all ghosts, are they?"

Arguing sounds came from the mobile phone. Gao Ming quickly turned down the volume and hid in the corner to check.

2409 Fang Shuqi: "I can't get out! Zhao Xi is right outside my door, it's really back!"

The resident on the fourth floor sent a video in the group chat, which was captured by the surveillance camera at his door.

In the black and white picture, Zhao Xi, with twisted limbs, was squirming on the steps, his face rubbing against the ground, and his broken neck hanging on his shoulders.

Zhao Xixi in the picture seemed to have sensed something. He raised his head little by little. He showed a strange smile to the surveillance camera, and then banged his head against the door of 2409.

Just watching the surveillance video, the neighbors felt their hands and feet getting cold, not to mention Fang Shuqi who was trapped in the house.

His arm holding the phone shook more and more violently, and as the ninth knock on the door rang, he let out a scream.

Then the sound of breaking glass reached the ears of all residents, and the video screen blurred and rotated until the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground again appeared in the community.

"Oh!"

The mobile phone that had been clutched in his hand until his death fell down, and the camera was attached to Fang Shuqi's tragic face. He seemed to have been pushed down from the fourth floor, and his death was exactly the same as Zhao Xi's.

The video was stained red with blood, and Gao Ming was shocked. He endured the discomfort, ran to the end of the corridor on the seventh floor, smashed the closed window, and looked out.

"really!"

In the video, Fang Shuqi died tragically downstairs, but when Gao Ming looked downstairs, there was no body at all except for a pool of blood at the entrance of the corridor!

Those neighbors seem to exist only in the video, and they seem to be deliberately trying to create a scary atmosphere.

"There's something wrong with the video! There's also something wrong with the neighbors who made the video call! The mobile phone Zhao Xi left in the room might have been left behind intentionally by a 'ghost'!"

There was a blood vessel bulging between his eyebrows. If Gao Ming couldn't clear the game as soon as possible, his end would be ten times more miserable than Fang Shuqi's.

"In reality, Zhao Xi's cell phone would definitely not be thrown in the house like that. After he commits suicide, his vampire adoptive mother and sister-in-law will probably try to get rid of all Zhao Xi's money. After all, in the room rented by Xuan Wen, Only the barest furniture remained, and it had evidently been plundered.”

Covering the camera, Gao Ming looked at the mobile phone belonging to the deceased in his palm. He remembered his work - "The Only Family" when he helped Wei Dayou participate in a game competition a few years ago.

The male protagonist of the game is a middle-aged useless uncle, but he has a gentle and beautiful wife, a smart and well-behaved daughter, and parents who love him very much. He often uses his mobile phone to video chat with his family, and all his contacts with his family are through his mobile phone. , until one day he saw a woman who looked very much like his wife on the street.

He rushed over to hug the other person, but the woman hid in the arms of other men. The player began to investigate the truth from his perspective, and finally discovered that everything he owned was made up by his mobile phone. His life was full of despair, dark and terrifying, He imagined other people's wives and children as his own. In fact, his biological parents severed ties with him, and his only family member was his old mobile phone.

In fact, he is the biggest villain. He personally took off his layers of disguise and exposed his dirty heart to everyone.

There are three endings in the game: the uncle found the lost diary and medicine. This was actually the fifth time he woke up, but then he swallowed the medicine again and chose to live in fantasy for the sixth time; the good ending is the uncle's own hand. He destroyed his mobile phone, escaped from the illusion, and decided to start a new life. He tried hard to get rid of all his bad habits and reconciled with his parents; the final ending was a bit scary. The uncle went crazy. He regarded his mobile phone as a real family member and died with his mobile phone. They were together, and the phone was picked up by a child who was being bullied.
