Mysterious country

Chapter 121 Sound
"Senior, it really...really appeared!"

The appearance of that ghost ladder obviously made Zhao Anguo very panicked, Xia Qi motioned him to calm down, and comforted him:

"Don't mess yourself up, don't worry about it, let's go back."

Xia Qi patted Zhao Anguo on the shoulder, then went straight back to the sofa, turned on the TV and watched it as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that Xia Qi was so calm, Zhao Anguo suddenly felt a little more confident in his heart, and muttered:
"What's so scary about a broken staircase..."

Watching TV absently, it didn't take long for Shen Ruotong to prepare meals, and large plates and small bowls were brought out from the kitchen.

Seeing this, Xia Qi and Zhao Anguo also hurriedly got up, took the food from Shen Ruotong's hand, and carefully placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"I didn't expect Sister Ruotong to be a housekeeping woman, and this also makes up for your flaws in character."

"Zhao Anguo! Do you want to eat or not!"

"eat."

"Eating can't stop your broken mouth!"

Shen Ruotong gave Zhao Anguo a hard look, which made Zhao Anguo shut his mouth in fright, and gave Shen Ruotong a playful smile.

Xia Qi didn't care about the quarrel between the two. At this time, he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the food. After tasting, he couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction, and praised Shen Ruotong's cooking skills:
"Ruotong, your cooking skills are really good."

"Hmm... the fish is delicious too... the pork ribs are also very fragrant..."

Xia Qi felt that Shen Ruotong's cooking skills were as good as Nangong Yun's, and the food he cooked was much better than many big restaurants he had been to.

After being praised by Xia Qi and Zhao Anguo, Shen Ruotong felt a little more ashamed, and quickly changed the subject and asked the two:

"What... what did you just say by the door?"

"What else, that ghost ladder has appeared again."

Zhao Anguo was eating vigorously at first, but when Shen Ruotong asked about it, he put down his chopsticks and turned into a bitter face again.

"Is it the stairs we saw that day?"

"Well, it's out again, right outside the door."

After hearing this, Shen Ruotong quickly got up from the sofa, walked quickly to the door, and after confirming the matter with his own eyes, he walked back with a serious face.

After sitting down, she exhaled with some difficulty, turned her head to look at Xia Qi who was still eating food and asked:
"What shall we do next? Do you have any plans?"

"Watch TV, eat, sleep, observe for a few days first." Xia Qi said his plan.

"Do nothing?"

"What do you want to do?" Xia Qi also put down his chopsticks at this time, then raised his finger to the top of his head, and said in a somewhat teasing tone:

"Are we still going up that ghost ladder to death?"

"But...if we don't go up, what's the point of us moving in?"

"You think too much. Do you think we stay in the house honestly, as long as we don't do anything, the ghosts above won't trouble us?
Do you think those victims went up out of curiosity? "

"Isn't it?" Shen Ruotong was somewhat skeptical about Xia Qi's statement.

"Maybe, but I think it's more about being lured up."

Speaking of this, Xia Qi's expression suddenly became serious, and he reminded each word:
"From now on, we must keep an eye on each other all the time, no matter what time it is, if we hear, see, or feel anything unusual, we must inform others as soon as possible.

We will conduct vigils according to time slots tonight, ensuring that two people are awake in each time slot.

Is there a problem? "

"No problem is no problem, but senior, are you sure the ghosts will attack us tonight?"

"Not sure, but since we have already moved in, we must be vigilant at 120 points, so as not to even die without knowing how to die."

"In that case, why should we sleep?"

"Rest is necessary, after all, we don't know when the ghost will attack us, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow night, or even later.

Are we going to keep going on without sleep? "

"Well, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Zhao Anguo gave Xia Qi a thumbs up, and he was completely convinced by Xia Qi.

Maybe it was because of the danger that might happen at night, so Zhao Anguo and Shen Ruotong hardly moved their chopsticks afterwards, but Xia Qi didn't think too much, and ate a lot of food to store up his energy.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it passed midnight in the blink of an eye.

按照夏天骐制订的“值班点”，1点到2点是由他和赵安国值班。2点到4点是由他和沈若彤值班，4点到6点是由沈若彤和赵安国值班。

Although Shen Ruotong didn't have much sleepiness, in order to keep herself refreshed when she was on duty in the second half of the night, she could only try her best to fall asleep.

Seeing that Shen Ruotong was already resting on the bed, Xia Qi and Zhao Anguo turned off the TV, making the room a relatively quiet environment.

The waiting for the unknown is always the longest. Xia Qi and Zhao Anguo looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

After waiting like this for about half an hour, Zhao Anguo finally couldn't hold back and said:

"Senior, let's find a topic to talk about. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to persist in changing shifts."

"Concentrate on me and Ruotong."

Xia Qi didn't intend to chat with Zhao Anguo, because in his opinion, news from upstairs was about to spread.

He remembered that Zhang Xiaoxiao once said that in the middle of the night, he heard the sound of running and jumping upstairs.

"Okay, then I'll talk to myself."

Seeing that Xia Qi didn't want to talk to him, Zhao Anguo muttered pitifully.

"When this incident is resolved, you can talk about whatever you want, and focus on me now." Xia Qi changed to a commanding tone this time.

"Senior, calm down, I..."

"Everything... blah blah blah..."

Before Zhao Anguo could finish speaking, a series of loud sounds came from upstairs.

Hearing the sound, Xia Qi hastily made a silent gesture to Zhao Anguo, and listened carefully to the sound that was still resounding.

"Everything..."

Xia Qi listened for a while, but couldn't tell what kind of sound it was.Because it sounds like running and jumping, and it sounds like a "boom" hitting a wall.

"senior……"

Just when Xia Qi was trying to distinguish the voice from upstairs, he heard Zhao Anguo's trembling voice suddenly came from beside him.

"I heard."

Xia Qi thought that Zhao Anguo was asking him if he heard the sound coming from upstairs, so he didn't even look at his answer.

"Senior...it's not the voice...it's Sister Ruotong...Sister Ruotong has disappeared!"
