Chapter 7: Fear
"Figures?" The old lady took the photo from her hand, picked up the magnifying glass and looked at it carefully, "Where is there a figure, girl, I don't know how many times I have seen this photo, and I have never found any shadow." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I was wrong." Wu Xi smiled to hide his embarrassment, "But you just said that Ai Kang is no longer there, is he dead?" ”
The old lady sighed, "He left, I heard that he went to a department store in a foreign place to work as a watch repairer, it was a year before the factory closed, my family was sick at that time, Ai Kang also went to the hospital to see him a few times, but when he was discharged, he found that he had left the factory, and even moved his home, and since then, we have not seen him again." ”
Wu Xi walked off the bus with a bag of Lantern Festival given to her by the old lady, she completely left the interview behind, and her mind was full of the figure she saw in the photo, he was reflected on the glass of the dial, vaguely unable to see clearly, but she could still vaguely see that he was smiling, that smile was eerie, as if she had seen it somewhere.
She walked into the hallway and saw a group of people gathered next to the elevator talking.
"Why is there a sudden power outage?"
"I heard that the circuit was burned, and the property said that it would be an hour before it was repaired."
"Then how do you go back, climb the stairs, the twenty-eighth floor of my house, who is going to be tired, I'd better go shopping and wait."
Wu Xi stood at the top of the stairs and hesitated for a while, and finally decided to climb upstairs, Xu Xingjia was on the fifteenth floor, saying that he was not tall, he was not short, and it was not impossible to climb up, so he had the right to exercise. Walking up the stairs with her was a girl of a similar age, who lived on the eighth floor, and the two of them used their mobile phones to shine a light on the dark hole, chatting and walking up.
"You said that we, the office workers, were busy from day to night this day, and all the money we earned was paid for rent." The girl ate the fried skewers she bought for dinner and complained to Wu Xi beside her.
"But isn't it," Wu Xi suddenly remembered his interview, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, tomorrow she will be scolded by the director again, with his lion-like loud voice, if he doesn't scold her until everyone in the office knows it, he will definitely not stop, "The bosses all over the world are the same, eating people and not spitting out bones, and assigning such a difficult task, youcanyouup." ”
The girl didn't answer her words, Wu Xi glanced at her, and found that she was not eating the fragrant fried skewers, but followed her silently with her head down, her long hair hanging down, covering the side of her face, swaying with the action of going upstairs.
Wu Xi felt a little embarrassed, she searched her stomach to find the topic, but helplessly found that her brain juice had been used up today, fortunately, the eighth floor was about to arrive, so she quickly turned her face with a smile, "There are people to accompany you along the way, and it is quite fast to climb the stairs, but your house has arrived, and I have to continue the long march." The girl still didn't speak, so Wu Xi laughed dryly twice, waved at her stiffly, and walked upstairs by herself.
A thin voice suddenly came from behind, "I want someone to accompany me, all the time...... Someone accompanied ......" The voice was like laughing and crying, and it gently drifted into her ears.
"You say...... What the? Wu Xi held her breath and didn't dare to move, she heard her heart beating violently, as if it was about to explode in the next second.
There was another nervous trill, the voice was a little closer to her, and then, a few sharp things pressed against her waist, "Bell...... The bell rings, kills ...... People ......"
Bell? What does that mean? Wu Xi turned her head and touched a pair of eyes that were squinting at her from between her hair, its black eyes were almost rolled to them, revealing only a large area of whites. "Who are you?" She suppressed the fear in her heart and forced these words out of her lips.
"Zhang ......" Halfway through her words, she suddenly lit up the things in her hand, which were those fried skewers, and she lifted these sharp iron skewers and stabbed them into Wu Xi's face. Wu Xi subconsciously used the backpack to block it, but he didn't expect to hit her shoulder, the backpack flew out, and the girl didn't make a sound and fell straight backwards, and the whole person stumbled down the stairs.
"Are you alright?" Wu Xi was so frightened that she hurriedly ran down the stairs, she tried it on the tip of the girl's nose with her hand, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, there were only a few steps, she still had breath, she should just faint. But what happened to her just now? Is it really possessed by some resentful spirit? And what did she mean by the bells?
"Come with me." Wu Xi's wrist was suddenly pulled, and the woman on the ground opened her eyes, her five fingers clasped her arm tightly like eagle claws, the corners of her mouth were raised upward, but her eyebrows and eyes were flat like two straight lines, "Accompany me, I'm so scared...... I'm scared. ”
Wu Xi desperately snapped her fingers, "What are you afraid of?" Why the hell are you coming to me. ”
"Click......" There was a sound of a bell in her ears, and the sound was exactly the same as she had heard in the family courtyard of the watch factory, coming from the dark corridor below, and spilling into her ears little by little.
Wu Xi stared intently below, it was dark and scary, she couldn't see anything, but she could feel that something was coming towards her, accompanied by this strange bell, approaching her little by little.
The world around Wu Xi seemed to freeze, her heart seemed to be pressed by an invisible boulder, her mouth trembled unobeyedly, her mind was blank, she just stood in place, and let the voice swim towards the place where she was standing like a poisonous snake, until she stopped a meter away from her, staring at her face to face, and no longer moving forward.
Two dark blue trousers suddenly appeared in the darkness, and Wu Xi was so frightened that he took two steps back, and was tripped and fell to the ground by the woman who was sitting on the ground shivering.
"I'm afraid...... Woo...... Woo...... "The woman's babbling cry made her heart even more confused, and she didn't know whether she should guard against the one behind her or face the unknown thing in front of her.
A rough hand stretched out from the darkness opposite her, and slowly poked towards the chest of the woman who was crying, and the woman's throat made a gurgling sound, and then, a faint shadow was stripped from her body, and the shadow was also a woman, she looked frightened, desperately stretched out her hand to Wu Xi, as if asking for her help, but in an instant, she was sucked in by something in the darkness and disappeared.
