Mysterious country

Chapter 20 Shadow

After a short period of adaptation, Xia Qi gradually adapted to the current darkness, not to the point where he couldn't see his fingers.

Although there are many legends that can restrain weird things in his body, they are legends after all, and Xia Qi doesn't have the guts to gamble his own life.

So at this time, he didn't care about anything anymore, and after turning around behind him, he fled down the stairs desperately.

However, his choice to escape was not voluntary. If he could also play the tricks that the middle-aged uncle showed at the time, or the tricks of Liang Ruoyun, would he still be so cowardly? .

"I'll let you go this time, and when I find a way, I'll crush you to ashes!"

Xia Qi swore secretly in his heart, but his two legs didn't dare to delay at all, and he fled back to the first floor not long after.

During the process, he also looked up worriedly, but fortunately, those blood-red eyes did not appear again.

Even so, Xia Qi did not take it lightly at all, because his heart was still beating violently and restlessly. This feeling of imminent crisis was so strong that he didn't even dare to stay there for a second.

However it was of no use.

Because the door of the dormitory building was locked by some bastard, he tried to push it, but it didn't move at all. It was impossible to knock the door open even if it knocked his brains all over the place.

Thinking about it, the other three entrances and exits must be the same, and it is almost impossible to escape outside.

After hesitating for a while, Xia Qi finally returned to his duty room. After all, he had carefully arranged this place. As for the real defense strength, perhaps he could only ask God.

Crouching down and leaning against the door, Xia Qi tried his best to make it look like no one was in the duty room.

At the same time, the area that Li Xiaoxiao is in charge of.

"It's already 10:[-], everyone stop chatting, hurry up and sleep and get up early tomorrow..."

Because when they were in the principal's office in the morning, the principal had clarified their responsibilities as dormitory supervisors, and it was their duty to urge the students to sleep after the lights were turned off at night.

So even though she really didn't want to leave the duty room in her heart, she still walked out bravely.

Because the dormitory building was pitch black and visibility was very low, Li Xiaoxiao would turn around to look behind him after barely walking a few steps, and then use his mobile phone to take pictures there for a while.

She is actually a very timid person. She remembers that when she was in school, some classmates told stories beside her, and she was so frightened that she burst into tears before she even got to the scary place.

Although it is better than before when I grow up, I never dare to walk alone at night or stay at home alone.

"It's 10:[-], everyone, stop chatting and get some rest!"

Li Xiaoxiao tried her best not to sound so trembling, but although she kept reminding the students to go to bed, she didn't think about it at all in her heart, and she really hoped to hear some whispers from the students sound instead of dead silence like it is now.

Continuing to walk upstairs, she only felt that the sound of her footsteps was being infinitely amplified, accompanied by some echoes.

It felt like...like...someone was following her up the stairs.

Looking back suddenly, the light of the flashlight began to scurry in the darkness, and she was glad that there was nothing behind her.

Coming to the 7th floor with trepidation, the fear in Li Xiaoxiao's heart erupted like a tsunami, because this floor was filled with the sound of windows being blown by the wind.

It sounded like fingernails on plastic.

It was heart palpitations and very uncomfortable.

Of course, this was not the whole reason for her fear. What really made her feel horrified was that she suddenly remembered the conversation with Xia Qi and the others in the morning.

Whether it is Xia Qi or Leng Yue, and the interviewer who asked them to come here for a job test, they all said something about the haunted place.

Although she said she didn't believe it, but if you think about it carefully, it is not groundless. Just like what Leng Yue said to them before, if the company treats them as Taoist priests who subdue monsters, then the salary during the trial period It's not so outrageous.

"Could it be true? Could it be that there really is that kind of ghost thing here?"

This is often the case with people, the more afraid they become, the more they think about it, and the more they think about it, the more afraid they become.

Li Xiaoxiao's current situation is like this. She is terrified in her heart, but her mind has been thinking wildly uncontrollably, which makes her feel that the surroundings are full of ghostly shadows.

"10 o'clock... 10:[-] o'clock, big... Everyone hurry up and rest..."

"Dengdeng..."

Just when Li Xiaoxiao was about to turn around and go downstairs, a series of footsteps going upstairs made her body stiffen.

"Is there... anyone?"

Li Xiaoxiao asked subconsciously, her legs trembling just like her voice.

The surroundings returned to the previous dead silence again, so quiet that even the sound of the wind disappeared, Li Xiaoxiao panted heavily and patted his chest, murmuring that he had just heard wrong.

But just when she turned around again and was about to go downstairs to the duty room, her body froze again.

Because at some point on the stairs below, a woman in red appeared!
The woman's hair was loose, and her long bangs covered most of her face. What Li Xiaoxiao could actually see was her mouth.

It was a particularly weird-looking mouth, because at this time, with the light of the mobile phone, the woman seemed to be smiling.

That kind of smile is indescribable, it doesn't look like a happy smile, nor does it look like a sneer, but it looks like a...greedy smile!
Li Xiaoxiao didn't know why he thought of the word "greedy". Anyway, the smile on the woman's face made her very uncomfortable.

Of course, the woman in red brought her more fear.

Creepy horror!
"You... Which dormitory are you from...?"

Although Li Xiaoxiao tried his best to keep himself calm, the effect was obviously minimal.

For Li Xiaoxiao's inquiry, the woman in red didn't respond to her, and didn't even raise her head.

And this situation also made Li Xiaoxiao feel more uneasy, and she even began to doubt whether the woman was a human or a ghost.

"It's...it's getting late, you...you should go back to sleep early."

After Li Xiaoxiao stammered, he ignored the woman in red and planned to bite the bullet and rush downstairs, but just when she was about to bypass the woman in red, the woman in red suddenly moved up!
She raised an arm to block Li Xiaoxiao's way down the stairs, and then her face, which was mostly covered by her hair, suddenly came towards Li Xiaoxiao.

"what……"

Before Li Xiaoxiao could even make a sound, her head had left her body.

However, what was even more frightening was that the blood sprayed from Li Xiaoxiao's wound did not splash outside at all, but it only made the "red dress" worn by the woman in red look more colorful.

The woman in red stayed where she was for a few seconds, and then slowly walked downstairs.

At the same time, Leng Yue, who was resting on the bed in the duty room, suddenly got off the bed as if sensing something, and then left the duty room.

7th floor, in dormitory 703.

"Ling Yan, do you think there are ghosts in this world?"

"You ask me, I ask who to go to, maybe there is, of course, maybe not."

"Aren't you talking nonsense!"

"Okay, don't discuss this kind of thing anymore. This thing exists if you believe it, and it doesn't exist if you don't believe it."

"Yeah, you guys have been discussing this all night, and I'm so scared that I can't sleep."

"Okay, okay, sleep, let you sleep. But I have to pee first, is there any good sister who will go with me?"

"Whoosh..."

"You are really my good sisters!"

The girl saw that other people pretended not to sleep with her, so she had to pick up her phone unhappily, but when she was about to bite the bullet and go by herself, a girl stood up righteously.

"Amy, I'll go with you."

"..."

Because there is no toilet in the dormitory, if you want to go to the toilet, you can only go outside. However, the toilet is not very far from the dormitory.

The girl who suddenly had a urgency to urinate was called Yin Yanjing. In fact, she didn't want to come out at all, because she always thought that Wang Yiran was killed, not a suicide. As for the murderer, he lived in this building. a certain student.

"Thank you for coming out with me. To be honest, I was quite scared after Yiran's accident."

Walking to the door of the bathroom, Yin Yanjing couldn't help thanking this good sister who was willing to accompany her here.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Hearing the girl's promise, Yin Yanjing only felt warm in her heart, and stopped talking nonsense, and hurriedly ran into the toilet.

In the dead and silent corridor, only the girl was left with a sad smile on her face.
