It's just a story.

A month ago, Ah Jiu thought so.

At this moment, Ah Jiu was running, in the dark, running along the empty street.

When night falls, the bustling city will always be lit up with all kinds of lights instead of the setting sun, dazzling and colorful like stars falling to the earth, illuminating the whole city, but at this moment, Ah Jiu's surroundings are dark.

It was clear that the lively street was full of people not long ago, but now there is not even a single street lamp lit, only the orange light can be seen in the distance, and the two sides of the street are dyed with a trace of warmth, as if the darkness has been suddenly cut off there.

Running towards the light in front of him, Ah Jiu's face was very pale due to nervousness, but seeing that he was about to cross the dividing line between darkness and light, several street lamps close to Ah Jiu flashed and went out abruptly.

Ah Jiu fell into darkness again.

The sudden darkness did not stop the pace of running, Ah Jiu still ran forward, hard, hard to run towards the place where the light existed, but whenever Ah Jiu approached the light, the street lamp that illuminated the road would suddenly go out like Fang Cai, and so on, the darkness continued to extend and expand, even if he ran the fastest, Ah Jiu could not escape from it.

But it can't be stopped, and even then it can't be stopped.

Telling himself again and again in his heart, Ah Jiu glanced back slightly.

In the deep darkness, there should be nothing to see, but in Ah Jiu's field of vision, there is an abrupt white.

A touch of white that flies up and down slightly, gently dancing like a white and pure snowflake.

But with the white dance, there was an extremely strange sound.

Knock, knock, knock......

All of a sudden, it was like the sound of a ball hitting the ground, but it came even heavier, and in this silent darkness, it was like a drum, constantly beating on Ah Jiu's heart, like a drum.

It was clear that he was panting heavily, and his heartbeat was so violent that he was about to jump out, but Ah Jiu felt very cold, and he didn't dare to look at it again after a glance, Ah Jiu tried hard not to hear the sound of "dong dong", and buried his head in a crazy way forward.

But this can't be done, and sooner or later you will be caught up.

I don't know if it's because of perseverance or fear, Ah Jiu's speed suddenly became a little faster, and the sound of "dong dong" seemed to be farther away, and then, Ah Jiu suddenly turned around in the darkness and rushed straight into a brightly lit apartment building.

The darkness seemed to be cut off here, the white light sprinkled down as usual, but there was still no one to see, Ah Jiu did not take the elevator that stopped on the first floor, but turned around and broke into the stairs on the side, gritted his teeth and rushed up.

On the eleventh floor, Ah Jiu didn't know how he ran up, he only knew that he kept panting, and he didn't hear the "knock" sound that had been following in his ears, but Ah Jiu didn't relax, but kept rushing to the innermost door, hurriedly opened it and flashed in, and closed the door behind him with a "bang".

Quickly put on a few anti-theft locks on the door, Ah Jiu hunched over and gasped for breath, running all the way consumed too much physical strength, Ah Jiu himself couldn't even stand on his own, and could only hold on to the door to barely fall, and the voice that had been following behind him did not sound again, so that Ah Jiu's expression finally relaxed a little.

Brushing away the long hair that was wet with sweat on his cheeks, Ah Jiu gasped and wanted to take a drink from the cup next to him, but suddenly heard a faint "knock".

Ah Jiu's movements froze, and his eyes widened suddenly.

The sound was still far away, very faint, but it sounded undoubtedly, again, again.

The sound of "knock knock" like slapping a ball came to my ears from below, maintaining an inherent slow frequency, as if it was gradually coming up the stairs that Ah Jiu had walked, obviously very slowly, but incredibly louder, as if the thing that made the sound was striding forward, rapidly approaching.

The sound of panting stopped at some point, and even the sound of breathing was about to disappear, Ah Jiu just looked at the door beside him quietly and fearfully.

The sound of "dong dong" was getting closer and closer, and Ah Jiu's breathing became more and more rapid, and his already bloodless face was already pale.

Knock, knock, knock......

The sound repeated over and over again had already left the hallway and came to the hallway, slowly coming straight to this side.

Through the cat's eye of the door, you can faintly see the voice-activated lights in the corridor flickering slightly, and the sound of electricity that seems to be heard in your ears is subtle, but it constantly stimulates people's nerves.

Knock, knock, knock......

Obviously, the frequency has not changed, but the sound is far louder, as if it is running forward in stride, approaching rapidly, making Ah Jiu's heart beat faster and faster.

Boom.

Stopped.

The sound that had been sounding slowly at a fixed frequency suddenly stopped, and silence suddenly returned to the surroundings, but Ah Jiu slowly retreated with a trembling body, staring at the door with a panicked face.

Because of the sound, it stopped in front of Ah Jiu's door.

The corridor light that originally leaked in through the cat's eye has completely disappeared, and there is no light source around, Ah Jiu suddenly regretted a little, he should have turned on the light in the room first, but now it is useless to regret, the switch of the chandelier is next to the door, Ah Jiu didn't dare to get closer to the past at all, and he didn't even dare to make a sound, just stared at the door with fear in his eyes, and retreated little by little, until his body was attached to the wall.

It was silent, so quiet that it seemed that you could hear Ah Jiu's violent heartbeat.

Then, suddenly, a voice rang out.

Squeak -

The faint sound would not have attracted anyone's attention, but in the silence of darkness, it was very noticeable.

Squeak - squeak -

Again and again, it seemed that something sharp was constantly scratching the door, and the sound was subtle but piercing, continuous, as if urging Ah Jiu to open the door and let the outside things in.

The body against the wall trembled more and more, Ah Jiu squatted down weakly, shrunk down at the base of the wall, covered his ears vigorously, and didn't dare to look at the door that kept making small noises.

Ah Jiu knew what was out there, and he also knew what he was about to face.

That's why I'm so scared.

If only a horror story were just a "horror story".

Ah Jiu couldn't help but pray like this.

The sound of scratching is getting faster and faster, as if the things outside are gradually becoming impatient, and a serious smell of decay gradually comes in along the crack in the door, and Ah Jiu, who has a keen sense of smell, immediately noticed it, but still didn't do anything, Ah Jiu just continued to shrink there, closed his eyes and bit his lip hard, so as not to let his teeth make a knocking sound because of trembling.

"Squeak!"

A sharp voice that was much louder than before suddenly sounded, like the anxious scream of some monster, cold and piercing, Ah Jiu couldn't help but shrink his body hard, trying not to let the frightened scream come out of his mouth, biting his lips and cracking.

Then, the sound of scratching stopped.

After a moment of silence, the sound of "dong dong" sounded again, but this time it was gradually moving away, disappearing little by little.

Still curled up for a long time, until he could no longer smell the rotten smell in his nose and there was no sound in his ears, Ah Jiu slowly opened his eyes and saw a ray of light shining through the window at his feet.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ It's ...... morning."

couldn't help but let out a sigh, and Ah Jiu sat on the ground weakly.

But Ah Jiu knew that the current peace of mind was only temporary, and the matter was far from over.

- Because Asha's story is not over yet.

"It's been a month...... I can't...... We have to find a way to put an end to this......"

The slightly trembling voice was full of exhaustion, looking at his bandaged right hand, Ah Jiu suddenly remembered a sentence.

When you are confused, when you are afraid, when you are powerless, that person will slowly come out of the smoke and make your wish come true.

-- If you are thirsty for help, call with your heart.

The trembling hand gradually clenched, and a trace of determination slowly appeared on the pale face.
