Chapter Twenty-Three: Who Can Open the Door?
"Whoa......
The pumping sound in the bathroom was getting louder and louder, Xia Qi carefully groped along the wall, and Zhao Anguo behind him was also following inch by inch.
I groped around the wall, but I still couldn't find anything.
Xia Qi sighed helplessly, completely giving up the idea of continuing this useless work.
The whole house is down, and the area of more than 30 square meters can almost be said to be in full view, and if there may be anything missing, it is only the bathroom with the door closed.
Just as he was thinking about whether to go over and take a look, he heard Zhao Anguo's frightened voice behind him again:
"Blood...... Blood! Predecessor...... There's blood coming out of the bathroom! ”
Hearing Zhao Anguo's shout, Xia Qi subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw that a large amount of blood was seeping out from the crack in the door below.
"Really?"
Seeing the blood oozing out of the bathroom, Xia Qi couldn't help but walk over quickly.
When he came to the door of the bathroom, the sound of pumping water coming from inside was even more harsh, Xia Qi stood in front of the door and hesitated to open the door, but at the same time, Zhao Anguo took a step forward and directly blocked Xia Qi with his body.
"What are you doing!"
"Senior ......"
Being yelled at by Xia Qi like this, Zhao Anguo suddenly cried out and said silently:
"I'm trying to do something too...... I don't want to be a drag oil bottle......"
After speaking, without waiting for Xia Qi to speak, he screamed and pushed open the bathroom door.
Zhao Anguo did this, obviously seeing Xia Qi's worries, and was afraid that if he opened the door suddenly, he would be attacked by ghosts, so he gritted his teeth and volunteered to stand up and take this risk for Xia Qi.
How could Xia Qi not understand what Zhao Anguo meant, and his heart was mixed for a while. There is an indescribable feeling.
After the door of the bathroom was opened by Zhao Anguo, Xia Qi's gaze also penetrated directly into the interior, and then his and Zhao Anguo's bodies trembled suddenly.
They saw Shen Ruotong.
Merely...... She was dead.
Shen Ruotong's body fell next to the toilet, and her head was completely sunk into the toilet, accompanied by a piercing pumping sound, blood kept pouring out of the toilet. Then it flows under their feet and goes outside.
"Sister Ruotong......!"
Seeing that Shen Ruotong, who had mysteriously disappeared before, died tragically here, Zhao Anguo suddenly collapsed on the ground with an emotional breakdown, and he couldn't cry anymore.
Although Zhao Anguo and Shen Ruotong are not related, they are in the same team, and they are both newcomers who have just turned positive, so their relationship is naturally quite deep.
But crying like this, Xia Qi thought about more rabbits and foxes, and thought that he might also end up with a tragic death.
It's not just Zhao Anguo. Seeing Shen Ruotong's corpse, he was also quite uncomfortable in his heart, after all, Shen Ruotong had a very good impression on him before.
Of course, it is undeniable that he, like Zhao Anguo, also has a little sadness in his heart, which once again made him feel the cruelty of the incident.
Shen Ruotong had already confirmed his death, so Xia Qi forcibly suppressed his sentimental emotions and tried to regain his composure.
"Shen Ruotong has been found, which means that her disappearance is limited to this room. In other words, disappearing is equivalent to death......"
This moment. Xia Qi felt as if he had grasped a certain key, and as long as he continued to scrutinize, he would be able to gain insight into the key.
"Let's go out first."
Xia Qi dragged Zhao Anguo, who was paralyzed on the ground, out of the bathroom like a dead dog, and because of the relationship between falling to the ground, his body was covered with blood with a fishy smell.
and dragged Zhao Anguo to the door again. Xia Qi suddenly felt something, and then looked towards the sofa, and saw a white mark in the air that crossed the entire room.
But in the blink of an eye, the white streak disappeared without a trace.
Xia Qi's eyes widened in horror, and suddenly a very terrible fact came to mind.
That was Shen Ruotong's death. Could it have something to do with that white mark?
At first, the white streak appeared by the window, then it moved to the bed, then to the sofa......
"Could it be that the white streak is extended, and sooner or later it will cover the whole room?"
Thinking of this, Xia Qi hurriedly grabbed Zhao Anguo's collar, lifted him up from the ground, and asked loudly:
"When Shen Ruotong disappeared, did you see a white mark!"
"I don't have ......"
"A thing that resembles a white line, maybe very faint, you are thinking about whether you have seen it, even if it seems to have seen it!"
Because the white mark disappeared very quickly, even if Zhao Anguo saw it, he might only see a little trace.
"White line...... I seem to see ......"
Zhao Anguo is not very sure, but this is enough for Xia Qi.
If he guessed correctly, the white line must have the ability to drag people somewhere, and then randomly drop the body back somewhere in the house after killing them.
Shen Ruotong should have been caught by the white line in his sleep, and then randomly thrown into the bathroom after being killed.
Think of the white line as if it were a fishing net, it gradually unfolded in the house, and when it was fully unfolded, it was time to completely close the net.
At that time, all the living mouths in the house will be taken to the unknown "ghost domain" to be killed.
"No wonder the possessed ghost has always refused to come out, it turns out that there is such a big killing move being prepared."
Although Xia Qi had figured out the reason, the most crucial thing he didn't think of was how to leave this haunted house.
The windows are surrounded by iron railings, and they can't get out even if they smash the glass, and it's the height of the 8th floor, so what if they can get out of the window?
But the door has been sealed again, and they really have no way to go up and no way to go down to the earth.
Can you just stay here and die?
"Nope! There must be a way! ”
Xia Qi is by no means the kind of person who is willing to wait for death, he has already experienced some desperate situations, and it is definitely the stupidest act to give up willingly.
"Senior...... We're going to die......"
"Shut your foul mouth, I won't die!"
Xia Qi really wanted to step down and trample Zhao Anguo's soft persimmon to death.
"It's a haunted house...... This is a place where only the dead can go out...... We can't get out...... I can't get out of the ......"
After Zhao Anguo finished speaking, he cried even more:
"I don't want to die...... I don't want to die......"
"If you don't want to die, shut your mouth so that I can think of a way quietly......
Wait a minute! What did you just say? You say this is a place where only the dead can get out? ”
Xia Qi suddenly realized something at this time, and a touch of joy couldn't help but appear on his face, he slapped his head fiercely, how could he forget about it.
Because just like Zhao Anguo said, every time the door of the haunted house is opened, it is opened by a dead person.
The possessed ghost possesses the dead man, then goes downstairs and goes home, killing another victim who is waiting at home.
When you think about it this way, this door is indeed a door that can only be opened by the dead! (To be continued......)
