Chapter 20: The Key

Dong Xie carefully opened the door in front of him slightly.

The corridor outside is still as quiet as ever, and it seems that there is no abnormality at all.

Dong Xie then gradually opened the door and walked out slowly. After walking outside, he breathed a sigh of relief and let Dong Ning behind him follow along. Zhao Long and Ge Qi also came out together.

"Let's go."

Zhao Long walked in the front. In any case, he is the most "old" resident after all. If he is also timid, this team will naturally not be able to lead. And Dong Xie, Dong Ning and Ge Qi followed closely behind.

Dong ...... Dong Xie, "Now everyone is very familiar with it, and they all call him by his name, Ge Qi began to speak in front of Dong Xie at this time, and he began to whisper a lot: "I may have been a little inappropriate in my words before, maybe it made you feel uncomfortable, I'll give you a compensatory here, after all, everyone is in the same disease, and they have fallen into this damn apartment, I hope you will bear with me, if you ...... If there's any danger, I hope you can give me a hand. ”

Gucci is really scared. As soon as he thought of Feng Yu's fate and his current ending, his heart trembled. The companion who was still talking to them just now was gone in the blink of an eye! Of course, it is impossible for anyone to risk their lives to run to the 4th floor to save him. Most of the current Feng Yu has already gone to the Netherworld to report to King Yama.

The fox dies and the rabbit is sad, and the thing hurts it. Ge Qi doesn't want to fall into the same fate as Feng Yu! He doesn't want to die!

"I ...... My parents are old and are both in their rural hometown, and they now think I am working in K City! I...... I don't know what their grief would be like if I died! ”

Obviously, he is playing the sympathy card, hoping that someone will pull him at a critical moment.

"Are you...... How do you get into the apartment? Dong Xie is naturally not a fool, of course he can see Ge Qi's intentions, but he still empathizes with the sentence he said, "sympathy for the same disease".

"I was originally a takeaway from Ele.me, but when I went into the community to deliver takeaways...... I was in the wrong place and walked to the front of that alley...... I was afraid that it would be late, so I was in a hurry to ......."

"It's not easy for everyone." Dong Xie patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's support each other." ”

He made it very clear that it was "mutually".

The door to the stairwell was still wide open. Zhao Long didn't hesitate much this time, and stepped out directly. Feng Yu's sacrifice also gave them a very clear hint to a certain extent: the real danger came from the 4th floor. Otherwise, why do you have to let Feng Yu run downstairs? From this point of view, "they" should not ambush the occupants here.

Dong Xie followed closely behind Zhao Long, but he still slowed down his pace slightly, intentionally or unintentionally. Next, the stairwell will pass through the 4th floor...... If something happens to Zhao Long, he will quickly flee for his life.

The four of them stepped step by step under the stairs, almost walking with a force as if they were afraid of stepping on an ant, afraid to make a little noise. Everyone's face was solemn, after all, the narrow stairwell, there were greatly fewer places to hide. Especially Zhao Long, who is at the forefront, he is also under the greatest pressure.

Outcome...... It took them almost 2 minutes to get down the stairs for such a short stretch of stairs!

The iron door from the stairwell to the 4th floor is still locked. Inside, I still can't see my fingers. When they passed by, they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to look at the iron gate. Then, he continued to walk down as fast as he could.

Then...... They came to the 3rd floor.

When we arrived on the 3rd floor, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They entered the third floor through the stairwell, and Gucci quickly closed the door to the stairwell. Then, with candles, they illuminate the dark corridor in front of them.

Will there be any clues similar to graffiti paintings this time?

The four of them began to move slowly again......

Even if Dong Xie kept holding his sister's hand, he still didn't feel at ease and had to look back at her before he dared to feel at ease. The candle's flame flickered, the only reassuring light in the darkness.

"Huh?"

Dong Xie saw that in front of a door, there was a mailbox ordered next to it, and a lot of newspapers had been stuffed into the mailbox, and most of the newspapers had been exposed.

He walked up and pointed the candle at the revealing newspaper, just in time to see the date.

"The newspaper ...... three days ago"

After all, the people who live here are all elderly, and they are probably not good at using smartphones, so they still subscribe to the newspaper to watch the news. It seems that as the landlord said, the old people here have already organized a group to travel.

Dong Xie handed the candle to Zhao Long, he was unwilling to let go of Ah Ning's hand at any time, reached out and took out the newspaper from the mailbox, looked at it, and honestly, even if a bloody handprint appeared on the newspaper page, he would not be surprised. But...... The newspaper looked normal, nothing odd, only a large number of leaflets sandwiched inside.

Gerch also came closer to take a look, but because the corridor was too dark, he accidentally kicked a potted plant at the door!

"Bang Bang"!

The potted plant toppled to the ground, making a very loud noise in the silent corridor!

At this moment, everyone's faces turned pale!

Gucci, who was in trouble, was so frightened that he immediately covered his mouth, and the others didn't dare to move. They were all afraid, will the sound just now invite some disaster? And Dong Ning's eyes when he looked at Ge Qi were as sharp as knives.

After a long time, there was no movement around, and everyone gradually relaxed.

Zhao Long glared at Ge Qi fiercely, then stretched out his finger and pointed at him fiercely, although he didn't speak, the meaning was naturally clear.

"Huh? Look! ”

At this time, I only listened to Dong Ning's words in a low voice.

They immediately looked at the overturned potted plant on the ground, and underneath the shattered potted plant, a key appeared!

Dong Xie slowly squatted down and picked up the key.

At this time, he was like playing a game, and he got the feeling of a plot hidden prop that had a huge effect on the level. The residents here are elderly, so it's likely that they have a bad memory and forgot to bring their keys to the house, so they put a key under the potted plant, right?

He immediately stood up, took the key and pointed it into the lock hole in front of him. With a gentle turn...... The door is open!

"This is indeed the key here!"

He then slowly pushed the door open, and took the candle from Zhao Long's hand to shine inside. At the doorway is a simple kitchen, while the other end of the kitchen looks like it should be a living room.

"Go in and have a look...... Maybe there's some clue inside! ”
