Chapter 17: Appeared!
Walking into the last family on the 15th floor, Xia Qi found a large amount of blood near the windowsill and on the corner of the bedroom.
There are also some fragments of clothes scattered on the ground, Xia Qi has picked up these fragments one by one and observed, and found that the edges of the fragments are irregular, and they are full of small chips like jagged teeth, which can't help but make Xia Qi think that the murderous ghost may have a row of sharp teeth like jagged teeth.
It is almost certain that the way the ghost kills people is to eat people directly, and I can't imagine how big the stomach of the ghost is, and how it eats so many people and digests them.
Of course, the body structure of ghosts is definitely different from that of humans, and there is no way to bring in the logic of humans. Just like Leng Yue once told him, only a small part of the ghosts in this world are transformed by humans after death, and the vast majority of the rest are terrifying monsters that don't know how to emerge.
They are like the natural enemies of human beings, and they have a very strong desire for human life.
Xia Qi felt that maybe ghosts were the natural enemies of human beings, and humans were born with an inexplicable fear of them.
Just like human beings when they are very young, they obviously don't know what ghosts are, but when they hear the word "ghost", they will drum in their hearts and be inexplicably afraid, and they will always be suspicious and suspicious in the middle of the night.
Regarding this, after joining this company, Xia Qi had two bold speculations.
The reason why humans are so afraid of ghosts may have something to do with the fact that humans were very young. Maybe when humans are very young, they can actually see some terrifying things, and this kind of thing is ghosts.
But as you grow up, this memory will slowly forget, but it will be stored in the subconscious. Then, when someone mentions ghosts, or encounters some strange things, they can't help but think about ghosts.
Perhaps, the reason why humans are afraid of ghosts is related to human genes.
Perhaps ghosts were originally a species in this world, and they were the earliest natural enemies of human beings. It has left indelible terrifying memories for human beings, and then this terrifying memory has been permanently preserved as the genetic code with the development and inheritance of human beings.
However, regardless of whether the truth of the facts was as he guessed, he felt that ghosts and humans must have some special relationship, otherwise humans would never talk about ghosts.
"Mr. Xia, come over and see what this is."
Just when Xia Qi's attention was a little off, Wang Sangyu's voice dragged him back again.
Xia Qi nodded after hearing this, and walked quickly to Wang Sangyu's side.
Nie Feng also walked over at this time, and saw Wang Sangyu pointing to the pool of blood near the windowsill and said:
"Look. There was a strange pattern in the bloodstain. ”
Xia Qi looked in the direction of Wang Sangyu's finger, and saw that there was a figure about seven or eight centimeters long and wide in the blood, which was somewhat like a duck's foot, and there were four of them in total.
"I think I've seen this pattern in one of the rooms I've explored before. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now it seems that this thing was not formed by uneven blood splatters.
But I don't seem to see anything. ”
Looking at the pattern like a duck's foot and saying his thoughts, Nie Feng turned his head to Xia Qi and asked:
"Mr. Xia, can you see anything?"
"I can't see it." Xia Qi shook his head, also not knowing what this pattern was.
"Could it be a coincidence?" Wang Sangyu couldn't see Nie Feng and Xia Qi when he saw it. I couldn't help but say a word on the side.
"What coincidence?" Xia Qi looked at Wang Sangyu:
"You mean to say that this pattern was formed by coincidence after the blood of the occupants was spilled?"
"We can't seem to come up with a better explanation."
Wang Sangyu smiled helplessly. As for Xia Qi, he shook his head thoughtfully:
"Since this pattern has also appeared in the previous house, it is probably not a coincidence. However, this is indeed a bit strange, how can a ghost creature appear in the shape of a duck's foot in the blood spilled by the deceased during the killing?
Could it be that this pattern is the foot of a ghost? ”
"If you can eat so many households, it shouldn't be so small, unless it's a ghost baby."
Nie Feng didn't think that the pattern was a trace left by the ghost thing stepping on it. After all, since they entered the first place, until now, except for this unknown pattern like a duck's foot, there has been almost nothing related to ghosts.
Xia Qi didn't say anything after hearing this, but waved his hand at the two and said:
"Take a picture of it. Let's get out of here first and go back to the 12th floor. ”
Xia Qi has been faintly uneasy in his heart since he entered the 15th floor, always worried that the ghost who ran downstairs to kill people would suddenly return.
So at this time, they didn't let Nie Feng and them delay any longer, so they walked out of this family one after another.
Because He Yuying was in charge of guarding the door, she stayed at the end to close the door, but the moment she closed the door, she vaguely seemed to see something, flashing from the edge of the crack in the door.
But by the time she reacted, the door was completely closed.
He Yuying was excited, and he didn't dare to stay behind slowly, so he hurriedly chased after everyone.
"Ghost ...... I just saw a ghost! ”
Hearing He Yuying say this, Xia Qi didn't even ask him, so he directly reminded a few people to run desperately, but when they desperately ran to the elevator door, they were unlucky to find that the elevator didn't know when it went down to the 9th floor.
"Damn it!"
Xia Qi hurriedly pressed the button to go downstairs a few times in a row, and saw that the elevator was slowly rising up.
At the same time, He Yuying erupted into a series of terrifying screams.
Hearing the sound, Xia Qi turned his head to look, and saw that outside the door of the house they had just left, it was actually ...... There's a big ghost standing next to it!
The creature was wearing a trench coat and wrapped its whole body inside, revealing only a huge head.
Its eyes are slightly blood-red, and its nose and mouth are as if they were assembled together, and they bulge outwards in unison, looking extremely incongruous.
The whole ghost creature is more than 2 meters tall, and the black tendons on its bare head bulge out, forming extremely disgusting lines on it.
There is no doubt that this ghost, which was extremely mysterious in their eyes before, has finally appeared at this moment.
At the moment of seeing the ghost, Xia Qi also paid special attention to the ghost's feet. The two soles of the ghost's feet were nearly half a meter in size, and there was a disgusting black mass on them, which was supposed to be a solid formed after the blood had dried up. (To be continued.) )
