Just as evil and justice belong to two opposites, fear and hope are also in opposition to each other, however, there are no absolutes in everything, in fact, there are many hopes but they are precisely the right-hand men of fear, there is no hope that you may fall into a desperate situation or may not fall into a desperate situation, life and death are unknown, but once you get the hope that should not be obtained, most of the time, your fate will be deviated, and then gradually clear from the original uncertainty, gradually clear.

At that time, a clear and clear ending is the worst ending compared to uncertainty, and this kind of ending is often extremely tragic.

………

In front of the stairs, Zhao Ping stared down.

Like waking up from a nightmare, like an electric current sitting on the body, with the unique keen intuition of a veteran, in an instant, he seemed to feel something, and then turned around suddenly, turned back suddenly, and turned his body to look at the corridor behind him at an unprecedented speed, but, when he turned his head completely, when he completely shifted his gaze, in his eyes, there was nothing, he didn't see anything abnormal behind him, the corridor behind him was still empty, after all, he had just turned around very quickly, and the whole process took less than a second, if there was really something, he should be able to see it, In fact, there was nothing behind him.

Seeing this, Zhao Ping instinctively exhaled a long breath, and his right hand, which was originally stretched into his pocket, instinctively took it and then went to support the bridge of his nose and glasses, but it was just ......

Only halfway up, he didn't even wait for the breath in his mouth to be completely spit out, and the next second, Zhao Ping froze, stunned again, and his whole face was shocked, even several times more frightened than when he first heard the sound, and together, there were lenses covering a pair of round eyes.

Cause? The reason is simple, because this time it is no longer a sound, but a real discovery.

Just now he saw that ahead, the far right side of the corridor is the direction of the corridor......

There was a person, a figure flashed quickly, and instantly disappeared into the toilet!!

Yes, because the speed of the figure is too fast, when Zhao Ping's vision captures it, the other party has entered the toilet.

Seeing this, Zhao Ping didn't make any moves or react in particular, and after getting through the initial nervousness, he stared at the toilet at the end of the meeting with his eyes slightly narrowed, and then turned around and walked away without saying a word, walking straight towards the room where he lived.

Smack.

Not long after, with the sound of a door opening, Zhao Ping returned to the living room with a flat face as when he left, and after entering the room, Chen Xiaoyao, who was pestering Zhu Yuandong to talk nonsense, just looked up at him and did not speak, and then continued to smile and ridicule Zhu Yuandong, while the old professor was still sitting on the sofa with an angry face, and raised his head from time to time to scold the young man for a word or two.

Seeing this, Zhao Ping first glanced at the watch time, and when he found that the time had entered 23:26 in the middle of the night, this time he did not sit back on the sofa and did not watch TV again, but went straight to Chen Xiaoyao and Zhu Yuandong and ordered: "Okay two, the chatting ends here, it's not too early, we should rest." ”

………

If you ask the executor who is most afraid of going to bed now, then there is no doubt that it is Zhu Yuandong.

It is often said that people's worldview is difficult to change, but once it changes, it is a substantial change, and when a person completely changes the worldview that has been maintained for a long time, it is even possible to fall into another kind of paranoia because the change is too large, Professor Zhu is undoubtedly a staunch atheist before entering the cursed space, at that time, he not only did not believe in any of the gods who said to him such topics would often be spit on by him, but God bless the wind and clouds, people have good and bad luck, the world is unpredictable, and a seemingly ordinary subway ride caused him to fall into hell, Caught in danger and thus forced to become an executor.

Then his worldview was turned upside down, completely upside down.

Evidence? The events that have been going through since he boarded the hell train are proof of this.

That being the case, what is the end result?

The result was simple: not only did he believe in the moth today, but he was more afraid of it than anyone else.

"Ahh

At present, the time has come to 23:30, hearing Zhao Ping say this, Chen Xiaoyao yawned decisively and cooperatively, and then stood up from the sofa and echoed: "That's right, it's really not early, hehe, I really feel a little sleepy when I hear Senior Zhao say this." ”

As he spoke, he walked into the bedroom, took off his coat and lay down on the bed, and then there was no movement.

The whole process is done in one go, quickly and quickly.

Looking at Chen Xiaoyao on the bed, Zhao Ping was silent for a moment, turned his head slightly, and then looked at the sofa and looked at Zhu Yuandong.

Through many observations before and now, the current Zhu Yuandong seems to no longer care about everything in the outside world, and is only immersed in his own world.

Preoccupied? What do you think? What do you care about?

The answer is self-evident, Zhao Ping knows what Zhu Yuandong thinks in his heart and can guess what the other party is most afraid of at the moment, seeing this, the man with glasses moved, walked closer, put his hand on Zhu Yuandong's shoulder and patted it slightly, and was touched by this, and the old professor immediately raised his head.

At this moment, Zhu Yuandong looked up at Zhao Ping with puzzled eyes, and the glasses man named Zhao Ping in front of him also stared at him, neither of them spoke, and the two sides fell into a short silence for a while, a few seconds passed, and they looked at each other for several seconds, just as Zhu Yuandong was about to ask, but Zhao Ping spoke before him as if he had calculated the time, and then said a sentence to Zhu Yuandong, a sentence that was at least attractive to the old man personally:

"Professor Zhu, do you want to leave this hotel?"

Well!?

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Ping's words came out, Zhu Yuandong's expression changed slightly, as mentioned above, if the old man wants to do what he wants to do most at this moment? Then there is no doubt that it is necessary to leave the hotel as soon as possible, after all, this hotel called Tsim Sha Tsui is full of moths, and the mantis are dedicated to killing mainlanders! God knows if he will wake up tonight or not? God knows what will happen in the middle of just going to sleep? In fact, this is also the main reason why Zhu Yuandong has not dared to sleep so far, so naturally, when he heard Zhao Ping's suggestive inquiry, the old man replied without hesitation: "Yes, yes!" ”

Zhu Yuandong's answer made Zhao Ping very satisfied, nodded, and then went straight to the point: "It seems that I guessed correctly, Professor Zhu really realized the seriousness of the situation, if you really want to leave, I have a way to help you leave this hotel." ”

What does it mean to send charcoal in the snow? This is called sending charcoal in the snow, seeing that the man with glasses expressed his willingness to help himself and heard the other party say that there is a way to let himself out, he was happy in his heart, and he wanted to continue to nod, but the next moment, Zhu Yuandong's expression changed as if he suddenly thought of something, and the joy just now instantly turned into doubt, and then he asked Zhao Pinglu suspiciously: "Wait, you just said that there is a way to leave?" You're not kidding me, are you? The door of this hotel is now completely closed, and none of us can get out, you say you have a way? How can it be? ”

Not to mention, a professor is a professor, even if he is old, the most basic logical memory is well preserved, if the old professor was still an instinctive reaction when he first heard the words of leaving, then when the next second came, Zhu Yuandong quickly recalled the reality and quickly recognized the reality, so as to instinctively recall the encounter during the day.

yes, what's the joke with your surname Zhao? You say there's a way to leave the hotel? How to leave? How do I leave? Have you forgotten that the door of the hotel was sealed by a grant?

As for Zhao Ping......

Facing the old man's questioning, Zhao Ping smiled, not only did not answer the other party's question, but turned around and asked the other party: "When did I say that you were allowed to go out of the gate?" ”

Zhu Yuandong was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he asked with a look of consternation: "Then ...... you mean?"

"Windows."

………

At midnight in the morning, there was a noise in the silent hallway, and as the door quietly closed, two figures were in the middle of it.

The two walked out of the room and arrived in the corridor, at this moment, staring at Zhu Yuandong with a blank face, Zhao Ping explained: "I deliberately checked during the day, and found that the windows on the first to second floors of this hotel are all equipped with anti-theft nets, and if you want to go out, you can only go out from the windows on the third floor. ”.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuandong, who now fully understood what the other party meant, was faintly flustered, and then replied in an uncertain tone: "But, but the 3rd floor is the 3rd floor after all, the height of the 3rd floor is not low, once you go down, even if you don't die, you will be broken into a fracture, and there is ...... Even if you jump out of the window, why don't you jump out of the window of the guest room and run to the toilet window? ”

Obviously, Professor Zhu's thinking is clear, the logic is smooth, it is undeniable that he is based on leaving, but no matter how anxious he is, he still wants to get the consequences, and he knows that jumping from the 3rd floor is equivalent to suicide for people of his age, plus layers of incomprehension, and the more he thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes, finally, Professor Zhu can't help it, the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks about it, the more scared he becomes.

Zhao Ping lifted his glasses and shook his head and replied, "I think you misunderstood what I meant, I didn't say that you would jump off the building, but I planned to let you climb down." ”

"Huh? Climb down? No need to jump? ”

Seeing that the other party was curious, he nodded, and the man with glasses still explained in an indifferent tone: "The reason why I gave up the window of the guest room is that the toilet is more advantageous, and the drainage pipe outside the toilet window is the drainage pipe, and the drainage pipe goes straight downstairs, unless your legs and feet are really inconvenient, you can climb down the drainage pipe slowly, and you can safely reach the downstairs and leave the hotel without even jumping." ”

Sure enough, after further hearing the other party's explanation, finally, Zhu Yuandong understood, completely understood, and the old man suddenly realized, yes, why didn't he expect that there were drainage pipes to climb, if this was the case, maybe he could really use this method to leave the hotel and escape from the cage!

"Okay, I've already said what I should say, and I've also explained what I should explain, Professor Zhu, if you still don't dare, let's go back."

"No, no, no, go, go to the toilet, go to the toilet!"

………

With joy and excitement, after a while, borrowing the light of the corridor, the two came to the end of the third floor and arrived at the door of the toilet.

At this moment, looking at the empty toilet, Zhu Yuandong, who was anxious to leave, left without saying a word, and walked into the toilet and walked to the window, and was about to probe to observe, only to notice that Zhao Ping did not come in together, but still stood at the door of the toilet for a long time without moving, seeing this, the old man instinctively turned back and asked, "Hey, why don't you come?" ”

Obviously, don't look at the glasses man has been discussing the escape problem with him, and he has frequently made suggestions for himself during the period, but in fact, Zhu Yuandong has already concluded that the other party is actually as eager to escape as himself, and the so-called helping himself earlier is nothing more than caring about face, and now the exit is in front of him, but how can the other party ......

(Huh?) Could it be that this man really doesn't plan to leave? ）

Thinking so, the reality is indeed the case, listening to the old man's doubts, looking at the other party in surprise, in front of the door, Zhao Ping shook his head and replied: "Professor Zhu, I think you misunderstood, I never said that I wanted to leave with you, and the reason why I helped you is nothing more than to see that you are too scared, okay, if you want to leave, hurry up, in case of a long delay, no one knows what will happen." ”

Hearing the other party's answer, and seeing the other party's frequent urging, finally, after confirming that the other party was really unwilling to leave, Zhu Yuandong first sighed, and then said to Zhao Ping in a slightly apologetic tone: "Hey, it seems that I, Zhu, really misunderstood you before, I thought you wanted to ...... Forget it, don't talk about this, Mr. Zhao, you and others don't blame me for being cowardly, to be honest, I ...... I'm really afraid of mantises, I've been scared since I learned that there were mantis in the hotel during the day, Mr. Zhao, you are willing to help me so much, I can't thank you enough! ”

Facing the old man's sincere explanation when he left, Zhao Ping smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing, after all, you are just a newcomer, and it is normal for people to be afraid, which is understandable." ”

"Ah, is it? It's good to understand, it's good to understand, that's it, then, then I'll go, Mr. Zhao take care, and say sorry to Captain He and everyone on my behalf. ”

"Okay, I will."

A sincere farewell ended, after that, Zhu Yuandong moved, he was surrounded by fear for a long time, he immediately turned around and climbed the window, at the same time, seeing Zhu Yuandong's movements, and seeing that the other party had completely been inside the toilet, for some reason, next to the door, Zhao Ping's expression changed, changed instantly, the smile just now disappeared, just now there was no trace of randomness, the whole face instantly became solemn, became tightly locked, and the right hand was lightningly stretched into the pocket of the coat, and the whole person quietly took a few steps back, and quickly retreated in the opposite direction of the toilet door, While retreating, he stared ahead, staring at the window, staring at Zhu Yuandong who was facing the window with his back to the door!

No one understood what it meant, let alone what it meant, some, just dead silence, just confusion, just the abrupt vigilance of the man in glasses.

At the same time, inside the toilet, due to the hurry to leave, after saying goodbye to Zhao Pinggao, Zhu Yuandong came to the window, stretched out his hand to push open the glass, first cautiously poked his head out of the window and looked down, saw that the fruit pipes below were all over, and his heart was happy, and then he climbed the window with both hands......

Can......

Just as the old man was about to climb to the windowsill, or just when Zhu Yuandong was about to climb down from the window half a meter away, a strange change occurred, and a terrible change that was both sudden and completely unexpected occurred:

An old woman walked out of the toilet. With the terrifying speed that seems to be walking slowly, but is actually fast into an afterimage, he instantly jumps out of the inner room, and enters the outer room, silently, and then stands motionless in place.

However, it is precisely the temporary stagnation of the old woman that reveals her appearance in its entirety.

As far as the eye can see, I can see that the old woman's overall outfit is old, unremarkable, wearing an old-fashioned white vest on her upper body, and black pants and black shoes on her lower body!!

And Zhu Yuandong ......

I didn't notice it, I didn't notice it, I didn't know everything behind me, and I was still struggling to climb under the joy of being about to escape.

Then, the old woman slowly turned her head and looked to the left and looked at Zhu Yuandong.

The next moment, a shocking change occurred.

The old woman walked straight towards Zhu Yuandong, who was jumping towards the window!

The next moment, something even stranger happened.

That's ......

I don't know if it's because my eyes are looking at the flowers and I don't know if I'm in a trance, in the field of vision, that is, when the old woman rushed to Zhu Yuandong's back, in an instant, the old woman faded, and the whole body instantly became translucent, and finally, the translucent old woman entered Zhu Yuandong's body, and disappeared after basically overlapping with Zhu Yuandong's body.

Gone, the old woman gone.

However, disappearing does not mean anything, because the matter is not over, it is not over, it is far from over.

In other words, when the translucent old woman overlapped Zhu Yuandong's body, for some reason, in front of the window, Zhu Yuandong, who had been struggling to climb the window earlier, also stopped moving instantly, and the whole person suddenly stiffened as if he had been shocked, suddenly stopped, and froze on the spot like a sculpture.

After freezing for a few seconds, he retreated indoors, gave up climbing the window, and then slowly turned his body, but when he completely turned his body, he saw Zhu Yuandong's face was dull, his eyes were blank, and the whole person was as dazed as if he had lost his soul, and he was stunned for a long time, and then, Zhu Yuandong moved again.

Da, da.

Shaking his body and shaking his head slightly, he walked to the washstand on the left side like a puppet, slowly reached out, first picked up the water plug and plugged the water outlet, and then turned on the faucet......

Bang, bang, bang.

With the sound of rushing water, after more than ten seconds, the pool below was quickly filled with water pouring out of the faucet.

Then......

Poof!

Zhu Yuandong plunged headlong.

He bent down and plunged his whole head into the sink!!

Grunt, grunt.

The blisters rose and fell one after another, and the body began to tremble.

………

This is an extremely strange scene, and it is an extremely terrifying picture, and at this moment, all of this is seen by Zhao Ping, and the man with glasses outside the toilet door has completely imprinted his vision.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ping's pupils shrank!!

The body trembled violently uncontrollably, and cold sweat instantly spread all over the body.

However, he did not run, did not escape, still stubbornly stood outside the door, like a spectator to witness the toilet, observing the room, only the right hand deep in the pocket of the coat was covered with green tendons, as if he would quickly come out and take out something at the slightest movement.

As for Zhu Yuandong......

The head is still in the water, and he voluntarily submerges his head in the water.

Time passed minute by minute, and as time passed, Zhu Yuandong began to struggle, and gradually began to struggle after plunging his head into the washbasin, began to tremble, began to twitch, and his hands also swayed wildly against the pool platform, it seemed that he wanted to break free from the pool and raise his head, however, even if Zhu Yuandong struggled so much, his head that was deeply rooted in the water never rose by half a point, and never left the pool.

Why?

Why is this happening?

Obviously, there was nothing beside him, and it was obvious that he had plunged his head into it, no matter how he looked at it, it was suicide, but Zhu Yuandong looked like he had been murdered and forcibly pressed into the pool by his head.

What about the facts?

The fact is that there is no, there is nothing, there is only Zhu Yuandong in the entire toilet as far as the eye can see, and only Zhu Yuandong 'committed suicide' under extremely strong crazy resistance!!

Time continued to pass, Zhu Yuandong struggled more and more, and the shaking gradually reached its peak.

After the apex is faintness, silence, the gradual disappearance of struggle, and the gradual paralysis of the body.

5 minutes later, Zhu Yuandong stopped convulsions, his hands fell down, and the whole person remained motionless like this, just keeping his head in the strange posture of sticking his head into the pool and completely solidifying, completely falling into silence.

He died, lying in front of the pool, dead inexplicably, silently, to death...... His head was still in the pool, and he had never been lifted for half a minute.

In the end, a corpse was left behind, a tragic corpse with a large amount of unknown fluid and yellow material all over its crotch.

Then, the whole toilet fell silent and fell silent again.

Sand, sand, sand......

At the same time, outside the toilet, seeing that the other party was dead, confirming that there was no more trouble, Zhao Ping also moved, slowly moved, slowly moved while moving his steps, and slowly retreated, and retreated backwards in the corridor and gradually retreated in the opposite direction of the toilet.

During the retreat, the man with glasses pressed his breathing to the lowest level, and his steps did not make a sound as much as possible, and his nerves were highly concentrated at the moment, looking around as he retreated.

It wasn't until he retreated to a certain distance, until he was far out of the toilet, and after confirming that he was far enough away from the toilet, Zhao Ping quickly turned around and returned to the room.

Smack.

"Whew, whew, whew!"

The moment the door closed, in the living room, Zhao Ping's limbs were weak, and he instinctively gasped in front of the door, fortunately, he was not very human, and the strong composure unique to the senior was not fake, in a short moment, the fear was gone, and the fear was suppressed.

What followed was contemplation, silence, the chill of an eye behind the lenses.

The man seemed to be recalling something, thinking about something, his brain was running fast, and his eyes were constantly wandering.

With a certain thought, mixed with a certain thought, the man with glasses pushed the door and entered the bedroom.

However, there are some surprises......

Upon entering the bedroom, the expected image did not appear.

In the field of vision, the bright room is clear at a glance, and the surroundings are empty, and the bed is empty.

Chen Xiaoyao is gone!

……………
