Chapter 253

  With a somewhat uneasy and suspicious heart, Wu Qi told Liu Chen about what had happened during the day after they returned. Liu Liang was half-believing and half-doubting, while Chen Shuang didn't believe it at all, and even thought that these pranks might have been done by the middle-aged man opposite them.

  Chen Shuang insisted on pulling the two of them to the security office in the residential area to ask questions in order to prove that she was right.

  The security guard was startled by Chen Shuang's sudden rush, but after learning that they were residents of 914 and why they came, the two security guards burst out laughing.

  "Young people, what are you afraid of? Three big men living in one house, what's there to be afraid of? Don't listen to the nonsense those people in the neighborhood are saying. There's no such thing as that. How come I never heard the original residents of 914 say anything about ghosts knocking on doors? That middle-aged man who lives across from you... We can't say too much, just don't believe what he says."

  "Do you know how the residents of Room 914 originally died?" Wu Qi asked.

  The young security guard looked at the older security guard.

  The older security guard said:

  "The original residents of Room 914, one died from illness and the other from an accident. The one who died from illness was a migrant worker without medical insurance, and the one who died from an accident was the old lady who lived in front of you. At the time of the migrant worker's death, there were ten people living in the house, all of whom went out early and returned late every day, so it's not surprising that someone got sick. Moreover, if something really existed in that house, it wouldn't have only killed one person, would it?"

  As for that old lady, oh dear, she's over 70 years old and lives alone. She fell in the bathroom and can't get up. It's all because her sons and daughters are no good, at such an old age they don't even find someone to take care of her.

  "I'm telling you, it's all just a coincidence. The house number doesn't sound good either, so some nosy parkers spread rumors that it's a haunted house. But actually, there's nothing to it. You can rest assured and live here safely. If anything happens, just contact us. Next time someone knocks on the door randomly, call the security room and we'll send someone to check."

  Chen Shuang heard this and turned her head with a pleased expression, looking at Wu Liu duo. Her face clearly showed the words "I told you so".

  After thanking the security guard, the three of them felt much more at ease and chatted and laughed as they walked back to their dorm building.

  It was getting dark and time to eat, Liu Liang cooked dinner, and the three of them ate together. After dinner, Chen Shuang took charge of cleaning up. Once they had finished their evening hygiene duties, they watched TV for a while before realizing it was late and each returned to their own room.

  Wu Qiguan went up to the door, hesitated for a moment in front of it, and then turned the lock with his finger.

  Uh, isn't this not quite right?

  If Chen Shuang and others come to find him and discover that he has locked the door, will they misunderstand that he is on guard against them?

  Wu Qi turned around and unlocked the door again.

  But...

  It's better to lock the door, who knows what will happen.

  But if they found out, how would he explain it?

  Wu Qi thought this in his mind, and at the same time, he locked the door again with his hand.

  Wu Qi dragged a large cardboard box that was placed near the door of the house to the front of the bed, sat on the floor in front of the bed, opened the seal, and took out the things inside the box one by one.

  Temporarily put things that don't know where to place on the bed for now, and get up to arrange those that have already decided their position.

  It wasn't until after midnight when they finally finished packing up the two trunks.

  Wu Qi picked up the calendar on the bed and listened carefully to the movements of the other two, seemingly already asleep. The whole room was quiet as if no one lived there.

  Dead silence.

  Wu Qi remembered that during the day, he could still faintly hear the sound of cars coming from the distant streets outside his house. He had previously thought that at night these sounds should be more pronounced.

  When did the sound start disappearing? When I just entered the house? Or...

  Wu Qi coughed loudly and turned on the CD player he had bought a long time ago, afraid of disturbing others, he kept the volume as low as possible.

  A slightly melancholic melody flows from the CD player, and for a moment, it's hard to tell which singer it is.

  Wu Qi held the calendar ring in his hand and looked at the four walls. Where should he hang it?

  He made a gesture in front of the wall on the left side of the window, but decided to hang it on the right side instead. Wu Qi walked towards the right side of the window with the calendar in hand.

  As he walked by, the curtains on the windows fluttered gently a few times.

  Wu Qi turned his head back.

  The curtains fluttered a few times and then returned to their former calmness.

  Wu Qi let out a laugh from his nose and scolded himself for being suspicious and frightening himself.

  Shaking his head, Wu Qi stopped paying attention to the curtains and walked over to the wall on the right side, picked up a calendar and stuck it on the wall to see how it looked.

  A little higher, a little lower, leaning left a bit, tilting right a bit, Wu Qi's posture gradually stiffened.

  Perhaps because he didn't pull it tight, a thin gap was exposed between the floor-to-ceiling curtains and the wall on his left.

  He just tilted his head and it fit perfectly into the gap.

  Someone is watching him from that gap.

  Wu Qi remembered that the window in his room was a large bay window with an arched outer convex and a platform in the middle. If he remembered correctly, the platform was just the right size for an adult to lie down on it.

  Could it be Chen Shuang? But I clearly saw him walk into his own room.

  A thief?... That's unlikely, right?

  Wu Qi's hand holding the calendar began to feel sore and weak.

  The room was filled with music, but for some reason, the feeling of silence could not be dispelled. Chen Shuang, who usually loved to make noise, was surprisingly quiet tonight.

  Little by little, Wu Qi's gaze shifted to the left.

  Suddenly with a swift step, Wu Qi "whooshed" as he fiercely pulled open the curtains.

  A man was watching him from behind the window.

  Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Wu Qi's heart was racing so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat.

  At first glance, the man felt very familiar.

  When Wu Qi calmed down and gathered his courage to look out of the window again...

  "Haha!" Wu Qi burst out laughing.

  That face was indeed very familiar, because he had already seen it in the mirror a thousand times.

  Wu Qisheng loosened his grip on the calendar, its edges already creased from being clutched.

  He chuckled twice and muttered to himself: "It's really scary to scare people to death, let Chen Shuang and the others know that it's not funny."

  "Bang."

  "Who!" Wu Qishan suddenly turned around.

  There is no one else. He is alone in the room.

  Wu Qi swallowed his saliva and looked around but couldn't find the source of the sound.

  Wu Qi felt he could no longer bear this strange and abnormal atmosphere, so he decided to go take a look at whether the other two were asleep or not.

  He opened the door and came first to Liu Liang's door next door.

  Wu Qi raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

  After waiting for a while, there was no movement inside.

  "Liu Liang." Wu Qi called out in a low voice, unable to help himself.

  Liu Liang's room was still quiet and there was no sound of movement.

  It's strange, Liu Liang can sleep so soundly?

  "Liu Liang!" Wu Qi shouted loudly.

  This volume is not just Liu Liang's house, but also in Chen Shuang's house on the corner of the living room can be clearly heard.

  But no one answered him, neither Liu Liang nor Chen Shuang. If it were usual times, Chen Shuang would have run out to ask what was going on.

  "Liu Liang! Open the door and listen if you can hear me? Liu Liang!" Wu Qi pounded on the door with great force, shouting loudly at the same time.

  "What are you kidding me? Open the door quickly! Are you dead asleep?" Wu Qi was anxious and angry, unable to hold back his scolding.

  "Chen Shuang! Chen Shuang! You damn well better come out!"

  Wu Qi ran to the door of Chen Shuang's room and kicked it open.

  "Chen Shuang! Can you guys hear me?! This joke isn't funny at all! Get the hell out here!"

  Wu Qi went crazy!

  Both rooms seemed to be locked from the inside. No matter how hard he tried to twist the doorknob, both large doors remained motionless.

  He suspected someone might be hiding in the bathroom and ran to the bathroom door.

  The bathroom door is closed.

  One push, didn't push it open.

  This is a folding door, which can be locked from the inside but cannot be locked from the outside.

  "Liu Liang, Chen Shuang, are you two inside?"

  Wu Qi pressed his ear against the bathroom door, and it was quiet inside.

  If no one is inside, how can this door not be opened? He remembered that it was still fine when he used it before entering the room.

  Liu...

  "Knock knock."

  Wu Qi stopped clapping his palms against the door and listened intently for the faint sound he had just heard.

  "Knock knock."

  Now I've heard it clearly.

  Someone is knocking on the door from outside.

  Wu Qi was overjoyed and rushed to the living room, but just as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, hesitating as he peered through the peephole.

  Outside is pitch black.

  The night lights in the corridor are voice-controlled and will automatically turn on only if a relatively loud sound is emitted.

  Wu Qi withdrew his gaze from the cat's eyes and took a step back with his feet.

  There was no one. Not a hint of human presence. He couldn't see it, but he could feel it.

  He stood still for a while, and when he heard the third knock on the door, Wu Qi rushed towards Liu Liang's room like crazy, kicking and punching wildly, shouting frantically:

  "Chen Shuang! Liu Liang! Can you hear me? If you don't come out now, this relationship is over! I won't live with you guys anymore! I'm moving out tomorrow! Can you hear me? You damn well better get out here right now!"

  "You two bastards! How dare you play this kind of joke on me? You're simply damn idiots! Open the door, can you hear me?!"

  Kicked with all his might, the door creaked loudly. The noise was so loud that even a dead person could be awakened, but strangely, Liu and Chen's house remained as quiet as before, without any reaction at all.

  Phone! Where's the phone? Where is my cell phone?

  Wu Qi rushed into his own room and searched everywhere for his mobile phone.

  Where is the phone?

  The bag was emptied, all the drawers were opened, and the bed was turned upside down. The house that had just been tidied up became a mess again.

  Sweat dripped down from Wu Qi's forehead.

  He didn't dare lift his head.

  Wu Qi stepped back towards the door, holding onto the bed sheet step by step.

  He just forgot to pull the curtains back up.

  Just now, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a figure in the window.

  At first, he thought it was his own reflection.

  But as he moved his body, he gradually became convinced that the shadow did not belong to him. The shadow just stood there, inside the window, motionless.

  Wu Qi retreated to the door and, with some unknown source of courage, lifted his head to gaze out the window.

  He is watching him.

  A face he had seen countless times, his own face.

  He smiled with his lips parted in the window.

  Wu Qi knew he wasn't smiling, his facial muscles were as stiff as a frozen pig that had just been taken out of the freezer after three or four days. Forget about smiling, he couldn't even change the expression on his face.

  The man in the window raised his hand, holding something and brought it to his ear, tilting his head as if he was making a phone call.

  That's his cell phone!

  Wu Qi turned around and rushed out of his room towards the gate.

  Open the first lock, then the second one.

  He can't take it anymore! He has to leave this house! He has to get out of this godforsaken place!

  One push, can't push through.

  Push again, still can't push it open.

  What's going on?!

  Wu Qi hastily lowered his head to examine the door lock. No problem, they had all been opened by him. Now he just needed to push the door open as usual.

  Push!

  Crash!

  Hurray!

  Clap hard!

  Kick! Kick! Smash!

  Wu Qi's tears fell down.

  He has never been a brave person and doesn't like excitement like Chen Shuang does.

  He had just graduated from college and found a cheap but nice place to live, ready to start his new life...

  Window!

  Wu Qi suddenly remembered the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room that led to the balcony. He rushed over to it at top speed, but as soon as he pulled open the curtains, he saw him again.

  Wu Qi no longer had the heart to distinguish whether the reflection in the window was himself, and without even thinking about it, he instinctively picked up a chair beside him and smashed it towards the floor-to-ceiling window with all his might.

  Liu Liang and Chen Shuang woke up at the same time.

  They lay in their own beds in their respective rooms, unaware of what had happened and unsure of what had startled them awake.

  "Bang!"

  As soon as they heard the huge sound of shattering glass coming from the living room, both of them jumped out of bed and rushed to the living room.

  All I saw was chaos in the living room.

  A large hole was smashed in the floor-to-ceiling window facing the balcony. Wind blew in from the hole. Chilly.

  A person was lying on their side between the balcony and floor-to-ceiling window, surrounded by shattered glass.

  Liu Liang stared blankly at this scene, unable to move.

  "Wu Qi!"

  Chen Shuang let out a loud roar and rushed towards the man lying on his side on the shattered floor-to-ceiling window.

  Liu Liang was startled awake by Chen Shuang's loud shout and hastily rushed towards Wu Qi with unsteady footsteps.

  Liu Liang was just about to reach out and help Wu Qi up when he was suddenly grabbed by Chen Shuang, who was kneeling beside Wu Qi.

  "Hit, hit one two zero... fast!" Chen Shuang's voice suddenly became hoarse.

  Thick, dark red blood was flowing out from Wu Qi's waist, as if it had its own will, and seeping into the wall along the window sill.
