He took the elevator up to the 25th floor and stopped. The door facing the elevator was open.
2502 was Miao Xiaohua's home.
Her parents and her cousin's parents had gone to seek counseling separately. None of them were at home. Only Miao Xiaohua and her cousin were here tonight, so she was a little scared.
He had wanted to call and chat to ease the loneliness of the night, but he did not expect Little Yiren to be in Sea City.
Xie Yiren was still relatively relaxed. It should not be a problem. They were just scaring themselves. As long as he could hold on, he would definitely be fine.
But …
Miao Xiaohua stood at the door with a panicked expression. An even more horrifying sound came from inside the house.
Fortunately, there were no neighbors around.
Sea City's economic situation was deteriorating day by day. Those who had some ability and were able to leave had all left. This was considered the city center, but there were not many people living in the newly built high-rise buildings.
The other two families had bought their own houses, but they didn't even bother to decorate them.
The peephole of the door was empty. As the elevator door opened, there was a faint whooshing sound of the wind.
The wind whimpered as if it was haunted. Xie Yiren's courage instantly turned to ashes.
It was so cold.
"Xiaohua, what's wrong?" Xie Yiren felt a chill run down her spine. She grabbed Miao Xiaohua's hand and quickly walked into the house.
The door slammed shut, and Xie Yiren felt a little better.
But Miao Xiaohua did not think so. The moment the door closed, the fear on her face deepened. It seemed that the dimly lit corridor and the moaning wind made her feel safer.
"Xiaohua, what's wrong?" Xie Yiren asked.
He could feel that the temperature of her hand was very low and cold.
"Yiren, it's great that you're back." Miao Xiaohua hugged Xie Yiren's arm and almost cried.
She still felt insecure and hugged Xie Yiren even tighter. Her body trembled involuntarily.
"What's going on?" Xie Yiren asked in a small voice.
"My sister has been saying that there's a ghost at home tonight. Someone has died in this house before." As she spoke, Miao Xiaohua moved closer to Xie Yiren. Her voice became softer and softer as if she was afraid that raising her voice would attract the attention of the ghosts.
Xie Yiren felt her hair stand on end.
At this moment, she was filled with regret.
It would be better to bring Zheng Ren here. Why did he feel so flustered without him by his side?
Haunted or something, it sounded scary.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a materialist. After the founding of the People's Republic, animals were not allowed to become spirits, let alone ghosts, "Xie Yiren said randomly to appease Miao Xiaohua.
Most importantly, she wanted to calm herself down.
"Don't come over! Don't come over! "A hoarse shout came from inside the house. That kind of panic was definitely not faked.
Despair had drowned the people who were shouting like a tide.
Xie Yiren and Miao Xiaohua's hands tightened at the same time.
"Xiao Hua, don't worry. This is a newly built house. It's impossible for anyone to have lived here before. I remember it was a rough house in the past. What's there to be afraid of? "Xie Yiren's upper and lower teeth chattered, making a crisp sound.
"Yi Ren," said my sister, "the body is in the wall. There was a conflict between the workers, so they buried the bodies in the walls and poured cement over them. "Miao Xiaohua was only a few seconds away from crying.
In an instant, Xie Yiren saw the lights in front of her flicker twice and the walls tremble slightly, as if a zombie-covered cement was about to break through the wall.
In despair, she covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that she would scream and attract the zombie's attention.
She wanted to break free from Miao Xiaohua's hand and make a phone call.
However, Miao Xiaohua's hand was holding hers tightly, and Xie Yiren had no chance of breaking free.
"Be gentle, I'll call Zheng Ren over," Xie Yiren whispered in Miao Xiaohua's ear.
"Ah!" Miao Xiaohua seemed too nervous and was startled by Xie Yiren's voice.
She jumped to the side and her back hit the switch on the wall, plunging the house into darkness.
"…" Xie Yiren, who had always been mild-tempered, wanted to curse.
However, that was all secondary. In the darkness, she heard a faint, trembling voice coming from inside the house.
"You … You … You're out?!"
Xie Yiren's legs gave way and she sat on the floor.
Where were those warm hands? She was extremely regretful. Once again, she regretted not dragging Zheng Ren along with her!
How stupid!
However, who would have thought that it would be so scary?
Xie Yiren held her breath and covered her mouth with her hand, not daring to make a sound.
"I'm not the one who killed you. The killer is outside. Go and take a look."
In the darkness, the voice in the house calmed down and said softly.
Xie Yiren's body trembled uncontrollably. She did not know when she had let go of Miao Xiaohua's hand and covered her mouth with both hands. Her body curled up as if it made her feel safer.
No, she had to tell Zheng Ren.
She gathered her courage and took out her phone. At that moment, a thought appeared in Xie Yiren's mind.
In a dark place, once the phone lit up, would she see a broken face before she could make a call?
This was even scarier than a horror movie.
"Yes, it's outside. Go and take a look." Miao Xiaohua's sister said softly, asking someone in the house to come out and find Miao Xiaohua and Xie Yiren.
She could not wait any longer. Xie Yiren took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
However, it was not easy to get rid of panic.
Her hands were shaking like a sieve, and her back kept hitting the wall.
She did not know if her body was trembling and twitching, or if the wall had begun to move, as if something inside was about to break out.
After some time, Xie Yiren vaguely heard Miao Xiaohua's sobs and footsteps coming out of the house.
She could not wait any longer!
Even if she died in the next second, she had to call Zheng Ren quickly.
That honest, warm, and reliable face gave Xie Yiren strength. She picked up her phone and opened it with trembling hands.
It was dark. The moment the phone was opened, Miao Xiaohua let out a terrifying scream.
Xie Yiren did not have time to check what had happened. She found Zheng Ren's number and called him.
Pick up … Pick up …
Zheng Ren did not delay and picked up the phone after the first ring.
"Hello? Yiren. "
Hearing his deep voice, Xie Yiren's tears gushed out instantly.
Indescribable grievances were mixed with fear.
"Don't cry, don't cry. What's wrong?" Zheng Ren's voice was anxious.
"Help me …" Xie Yiren had only said two words when a cold hand reached out and grabbed her hand in the weak light of the phone screen.
A pale face appeared in front of Xie Yiren.
"Ah …" Xie Yiren screamed.
At the same time, the phone fell to the ground and hit somewhere, and the screen went black.
Xie Yiren had been staring at the phone when all the light suddenly disappeared. Her eyes were instantly blinded.
"Are you looking for someone to kill me?" A voice rang out in the room.
