    Chapter 131 Ghosts

    Behind the elevator door is a dimly lit first-floor tunnel, just as usual. However, the faint fishy smell of blood in the air reminded Lin Qiushi that things were not as simple as he thought.

    Lin Qiushi stepped forward, wanting to leave here quickly and walk outside the apartment, but when he turned a corner, he saw three identical little girls in skirts standing in front of him.

    They surrounded a huge birthday cake, which was filled with dense white candles. The cake seemed to be melting, and the red liquid dripping from it was the source of the fishy smell Lin Qiushi smelled. The most terrifying thing was the head of a woman placed on the top of the cake. Her eyes were still open, she looked at Lin Qiushi unwillingly, and even blinked at Lin Qiushi.

    This grotesque scene made people creepy. When Lin Qiushi saw them, he remembered the door that he had passed through as the clue to the Phil Xia bird. There is no doubt that they are the triplets that Lin Qiushi had seen inside the door...

    The triplets stood at the door and turned to look at Lin Qiushi, with stiff smiles on their faces, and began to sing Happy Birthday to you. One of the girls slowly raised her hand, pointed to the top of her head, and said, "Little brother, won't you eat cake with us?"

    Lin Qiushi listened to her question, but did not dare to answer. He turned around and left, heading for the other exit.

    Fortunately, the three triplets just watched him leave and didn't mean to chase.

    Lin Qiushi ran very fast and arrived at the door in a blink of an eye, but when he was about to go out, he remembered the action of a girl in the triplets. She seemed to point to the top of her head - what does this action mean? Could it be that there is something on the ceiling? what?

    To be honest, in such a situation, looking up at the ceiling is not a pleasant thing, but Lin Qiushi still took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, slowly raised his head, and cast the light in his hand toward the ceiling. His movements were slow, and he was ready to turn around and run at any time, but to his relief, the ceiling was empty and nothing

    Seeing this scene, Lin Qiushi put away the phone, exhaled and walked out, but just as he was about to step out of the corridor, an indescribable sense of crisis suddenly struck him. Lin Qiushi's footsteps reflexed, and at this moment, a corpse fell directly from the roof and smashed directly in front of Lin Qiushi. It is conceivable that if he hadn't stayed here, he would have Going out directly, I am afraid that I will be smashed by this corpse.

    The corpse fell from the upstairs and was smashed to pieces. The watermelon was broken into pieces as if his head had fallen from a high place, but judging from his appearance and clothes and the things he was holding, it was clear that this person was The man with the axe blocking the door of Lin Qiushi's house just didn't know why he fell from the upstairs.

    Lin Qiushi bypassed his body and walked quickly into the community. He stepped on the gravel road and glanced at the apartment behind him. He actually saw a person lying on the outer wall of the apartment. The person slowly climbed down from a height, completely ignoring gravity. With the dim light in the corridor, Lin Qiushi could barely see the outer wall clearly. The person on top... She was clearly Wang Xiaoyi whose head was split in half. Wang Xiaoyi climbed slowly from the wall to the place where Cheng Wen's body fell, then buried her face on Cheng Wen's body and began to chew on it. Chew like a foraging beast.

    Lin Qiushi only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze. It wasn't because the weather was too hot or what happened was too exciting. He was covered in sweat now, and the droplets of water were falling down his chin. Lin Qiushi was walking in the community. Inside, looking at the surrounding scenery, he was a little dazed for a while. He felt that there was no safe place here, and any place shrouded in darkness might appear monsters.

    Lin Qiushi walked towards the door of the community and saw two people standing at the door of the community. Lin Qiushi saw their faces and even remembered their names clearly - Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke. They were the two humans that Lin Qiushi had seen in the first door.

    Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke also seemed to see Lin Qiushi, and waved at Lin Qiushi from a distance, saying, "Come here, come here!"

    Lin Qiushi was a little hesitant in his footsteps. He was not sure whether the two people who appeared here were human or ghost.

    "Bai Jie asked us to come pick you up." Xiao Ke shouted from a distance, "The place you live is too dangerous, Bai Jie asked us to take you there—"

    Lin Qiushi frowned, he glanced behind him, Wang Xiaoyi and Cheng Wen disappeared into the night, but the dark apartment building still gave people a strong sense of ominousness. Lin Qiushi walked in front of them and didn't get too close.

    "Is Bai Jie asking you to come pick me up?" Lin Qiushi asked Xiao Ke.

    "Yeah." Xiao Ke said, "she was afraid that something would happen to you, so she asked us to come over here."

    "Where is she now?" Lin Qiushi said.

    "She? She is waiting for us at her house now." Xiao Ke replied, "Get in the car, we will explain to you slowly in the car." After speaking, she opened the car door in front of her, signaling Lin Qiushi to hurry up Click in.

    Lin Qiushi walked to the door of the car and glanced into the car.

    Xiao Ke was still urging behind him, and seemed to be very anxious, but Lin Qiushi suddenly noticed something, and the footsteps he was about to step into the car suddenly stopped.

    "What's wrong with you?" Xiao Ke asked. "That thing is coming, don't waste your time."

    "Since you were entrusted by Bai Jie to pick me up, you should know his real name, right?" Lin Qiushi stopped and stared at the ground, but his footsteps were slowly retreating.

    Xiao Ke frowned: "I know her real name, but I can't say it here, it will be heard by other things, hurry up..." She looked at Lin Qiushi who stopped, but her voice became more and more irritable. In the end, it was like roaring, "I'll let you in the car, time is running out!!"

    Seeing this scene, Lin Qiushi turned around and ran, ignoring the shouts of Xiao Ke and Xiong Qi. Xiao Ke could only watch Lin Qiushi leave with a shrill cry, and just as Lin Qiushi just turned around and returned to the community, a A huge figure appeared on the other side of the road.

    It was a tall woman with a strange shape, dragging a long-handled axe in her hand, and walked slowly towards Xiao Ke and Xiong Qi.

    Xiao Ke and Xiong Qi looked terrified and desperate. They got into the car in front of them in a panic, trying to start the car to leave here, but the car that was originally looking normal turned into a fake car made of paper. Sitting inside, naturally impossible to leave.

    The woman walked in front of the two of them, raised her hand, raised the axe high, and then chopped down heavily, directly splitting Xiao Ke into two halves.

    Xiong Qi was the second. The two of them were cut off in the middle, and they let out a miserable cry, but they didn't lose their breath and struggled on the ground.

    Lin Qiushi hid in the corner of the community and watched all this. He reached out and covered his mouth, fearing that his wife would breathe, which attracted the attention of tall women outside. This monster is the monster that Lin Qiushi had seen in the ancient temple in the first door. After she hacked Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke to death, she looked around again and didn't find Lin Qiushi, so she took the The axe turned and left.

    Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke, who were cut in two, did not die just like that. They groaned and moaned on the road, and Xiao Ke made a vicious cursing sound, as if they were cursing Lin Qiushi.

    Lin Qiushi didn't know what happened to Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke in the door after he left, but from the experience accumulated later, I am afraid that these two are not good things, but the kind of deliberately close to the newcomer. Conspiratorial old man. Fortunately, Lin Qiushi met Ruan Nanzhu, so he escaped. As for what happened to them inside the door in the end, Lin Qiushi has no idea...

    The reason why he discovered Xiao Ke's anomaly just now was because under the street lamp, he saw only one shadow of himself projected on the ground. However, Xiaoke and Xiong Qi did not cast any shadows under the light, which made Lin Qiushi feel that something was wrong, so he turned and left decisively, escaping the catastrophe.

    At this moment, Lin Qiushi has vaguely understood the meaning of the clues. There is no solution to this door, the vitality is only hidden in the door, maybe a small detail is the way to survive. Of course, whether you can find it depends on your luck.

    Lin Qiushi stood in the community, not knowing what to do for a while, but he knew he should leave, because the happy birthday song was getting louder and closer to him.

    So Lin Qiushi stood up and walked out of the community slowly. He looked back and saw that the triplets were pushing the cake towards him. The head on the cake slowly turned in a circle, moving towards He cast a malicious look.

    Lin Qiushi was accustomed to such stares, he looked back blankly, and by the way gave him a look of contempt.

    The triplets giggled happily. They stood at the door of the community and watched Lin Qiushi disappear at the end of the dark road. They stood on tiptoe and picked up the head on the cake and kissed them. They shouted happily again. sounded mother.

    Lin Qiushi was walking on the road, only dim street lamps illuminating the road under his feet.

    The surrounding shops that were full of life were all closed, and it seemed like another world, with only death and terror.

    Lin Qiushi stared at his cell phone for a while. He wanted to call Ruan Nanzhu again and ask him how he was doing, but he was afraid that when Ruan Nanzhu was in a hurry, he would call him directly. It took Ruan Nanzhu's life.

    After thinking for a while, Lin Qiushi sent a message to Ruan Nanzhu and asked him how he was doing.

    After a while, Lin Qiushi returned to Lin Qiushi: I was hiding from the cat with strange things.

    Although these words are playful, they can see the hidden murderous intentions. Lin Qiushi smiled bitterly: Hide and seek? This is your first door?

    Ruan Nanzhu: The second fan.

    Lin Qiushi: What is the clue?

    Ruan Nanzhu: The clue is...hide and seek.

    Lin Qiushi; "..." was just a few words, but a cold sweat broke out on his back, and even his mood became a little anxious. Now he really wants to go to Ruan Nanzhu's side and accompany him through everything, but this kind of The idea was obviously difficult to realize at this time. Lin Qiushi raised his hand and glanced at the time. It was two o'clock in the morning, and there were at least three or four hours before dawn.

    She came here, I won't tell you first, baby, I love you - this is the last text message Ruan Nanzhu sent to Lin Qiushi tonight.

    Lin Qiushi looked at the text message and was extremely worried, but he didn't know where Ruan Nanzhu was now, nor what he was going through. He was so powerless at this time and couldn't do anything.

    Lin Qiushi walked along the road, and the road seemed to have no end until Lin Qiushi came to a crossroads. In the distance, Lin Qiushi saw a man squatting in the middle of the intersection, with his back to him, his head bowed and stuffing something into the burning brazier.

    Lin Qiushi looked at this man and did not dare to get too close. He observed from a distance and found that this man was burning coins for the dead.

    The ashes swirled into the dark sky. Because he wanted to enter the door, Lin Qiushi learned a lot of homestay legends, and he knew that after the coin was burned to ashes, he was also a little particular.

    Lin Qiushi looked at the picture in front of him hesitantly, and was about to turn around and go back, but heard a creepy footstep sound behind him.

    Lin Qiushi turned his head, and across the pitch-black night, saw a tall figure walking towards the end of the road. The figure was against the light. Although it didn't look very real, it seemed from its outline that it was the one just now. Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke split the female ghost in half.

    The surroundings were empty and there was no place to hide. Lin Qiushi had no choice but to move forward, leaning against the wall and trying to pass the intersection in front of him.

    As he walked, he carefully observed the old man who was burning paper in the middle of the intersection. He should have seen this man too, but he didn't remember much because of the time.

    Just when Lin Qiushi was about to pass the intersection, he saw the old man put his hand into the burning ash basin in front of him, and then his body began to carbonize rapidly, but Lin Qiushi caught the subtle sound from his mouth. , he was saying: "Dead, dead... Only the dead can escape." After he said this, the whole person turned into a coke, and the monster behind him seemed to smell the unusual atmosphere here. , quickened his pace.

    The monster is huge, and the axe in his hand will occasionally fall to the ground, making the sound of metal and stone rubbing.

    Lin Qiushi didn't dare to stay here any longer and ran forward. When he ran wildly, he did not forget to observe the surrounding environment and found some changes in the surrounding environment.

    There are some white lanterns and garlands hanging on the door of the shop, like a memorial ceremony.

    And what made Lin Qiushi stop was the black coffins placed beside the road. These coffins appeared suddenly, and they just straddled the road.

    The monster behind him also seemed to have sensed where Lin Qiushi was and was heading in his direction. If he continued to run at a normal speed, Lin Qiushi would probably be caught in a few minutes.

    Lin Qiushi gasped for breath, staring at the black coffin, a crazy thought popped up in his mind. He knew that he couldn't hesitate at this time, so he turned around and walked directly to the front of the coffin, reaching out and pushing it away with force.

    Lin Qiushi originally thought the coffin was empty, but after pushing it open, he found that there was a corpse inside the coffin. The corpse looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but Lin Qiushi didn't bother to think so much, so he gritted his teeth and crawled in directly. , and then closed the coffin lid.

    "Da...da...da..." Across the coffin, Lin Qiushi heard the monster's footsteps getting closer and closer, and finally seemed to stay around him, her nose twitched, trying to find herself in the air whereabouts of the prey.

    However, it seemed that some smell disturbed her search, and the monster let out a low strange cry, and then the sound gradually faded away.

    Lin Qiushi was lying in the coffin with a numb expression. The corpse lying next to him seemed to have just died, and his skin was still soft and even seemed to have a little warmth. Lin Qiushi was muttering in his heart, "Don't blame it, don't blame it." After the sound from outside disappeared, he was about to raise his hand to lift the lid of the coffin, but felt that his wrist was suddenly directly grabbed by another hand.

    "!!" Lin Qiushi almost screamed when he was caught, but the other hand actually covered his mouth, causing him to hold the voice in his throat.

    "I haven't left yet." The corpse beside him opened his mouth. Although the voice was very low, Lin Qiushi's eyes widened after hearing the voice. This voice was so familiar to him that it belonged to Li Dongyuan. !

    The coffin was so dark that Lin Qiushi couldn't see anything. He was held tightly by the corpse next to him, who had the same voice as Li Dongyuan, and his heart was beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

    "I haven't left yet." The person next to him said another sentence, and Lin Qiushi vaguely understood what he meant and stopped struggling.

    After the silence lasted for about ten minutes, Lin Qiushi heard a woman's incomparably angry roar. This roar was only separated by a thin layer of coffin board. It is conceivable that this thing was very close to Lin Qiushi, even in his place. Beside him, if Lin Qiushi climbed out of the coffin just now, I am afraid that he would have been directly hacked to death like Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke.

    Then the woman's voice gradually became farther away, and the corpse holding Lin Qiushi also let go. Lin Qiushi pushed open the coffin lid on top of his head. This time, he finally saw the face of the person lying beside him. Li Dongyuan, who should have died.

    "Long time no see." Li Dongyuan rolled his eyes and smiled at Lin Qiushi.

    Lin Qiushi's eyes stared at him, as if to stare out a flower on his face.

    "Why are you looking at me like this?" Li Dongyuan also got up from the coffin and straightened his hair, "I saved you just now, don't you thank me?"

    Lin Qiushi: "Who are you..."

    "Dead man." Although Lin Qiushi didn't finish his words, Li Dongyuan had already guessed what he wanted to say, and laughed, "I'm dead."

    Lin Qiushi looked at him hesitantly, but Li Dongyuan grabbed Lin Qiushi's hand and pressed his hand to the position of his chest.

    "Are you really dead?" Lin Qiushi wiped his face with his hand and said, "Then why are you here? Where the hell is this place?"

    Li Dongyuan listened to Lin Qiushi's question, but smiled without saying a word. He pointed to the top of his head and said, "It's still a long time before dawn, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

    Lin Qiushi: "Where do you sleep? In a coffin?"

    Li Dongyuan said: "The coffin is also safer than you running around here."

    Lin Qiushi wanted to say something else, but heard footsteps again. This time, without Li Dongyuan's action, he closed the coffin lid by himself.

    In the darkness, the two looked at each other. Lin Qiushi had too many questions to ask. He wanted to ask Li Dongyuan what was going on, but Li Dongyuan didn't seem to want to answer these questions.

    "I know what you want to ask." Li Dongyuan said, "but I can't answer it because I don't understand it myself."

    "Do you have any memory of your own death?" Lin Qiushi asked.

    "Of course there are." Li Dongyuan said, "I still remember committing suicide by jumping off a building." His tone was a little more lonely, "I just don't know what happened to the girl."

    "Zhuang Rujiao?" Lin Qiushi said, "She is very good and has inherited your White Deer."

    Li Dongyuan was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "What kind of good thing is this?" Watching the little girl he was protecting grow up was not a particularly happy thing, because growing up always had to pay a very painful price.

    So the two became quiet again, and Lin Qiushi stared at the lid of the coffin above his head in a daze. He didn't dare to say too much because the thing kept spinning around him.

    Time passed minute by minute, and it was five o'clock, and the sky seemed to be about to dawn.

    Sleepiness swept Lin Qiushi, he wanted to persevere, but he felt that he had never been so sleepy before.

    "Go to sleep." Li Dongyuan's voice came, "See you tomorrow night."

    Lin Qiushi closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

    This sleep was very heavy. When he woke up again, the sky was already bright. When he got up, he saw himself lying on his bed, chestnut beside the pillow, and looked at him obediently.

    There were no monsters, no blood, and the door was fine. Everything that happened last night seemed like a grotesque nightmare. Lin Qiushi let out a long sigh, picked up his phone and dialed a certain number again.

    After a few seconds of waiting, an unsurprising voice came from the other end of the phone, and the call that was able to get through last night became an empty number again. Lin Qiushi rummaged through the text message box, but did not see any information Ruan Nanzhu sent him.

    "Okay." Lin Qiushi said to himself, "See you tonight."

    The author has something to say: Li Dongyuan: Aha, long time no see!

    Lin Qiushi: It's totally... just surprised, not surprised.
