Chapter 16: Life and Death
Xie Ruoni jumped up quickly, almost as if there was a spring under her.
Looking at the WeChat group of apartment residents who were completely in a mess, her face instantly turned pale.
At this time, the candle next to it also flickered instantly.
"This ......"
On the side, Zhao Qishan, Wu Hui and Qiu Feng's expressions were not much better, looking at the mobile phone, their faces became quite ugly. Qiu Feng even shouted "I'm damned" into his mobile phone!
"What's wrong with you?" Mei Yue noticed that their emotions were not right and asked, "What did you see?" ”
Xie Ruoni soon received a message from Qiu Feng, didn't the group of residents keep saying that evil spirits couldn't enter the apartment? What's going on? ”
Xie Ruoni directly ignored Qiu Feng, took a bottle of Evian in a box of mineral water placed next to the sofa, and unscrewed the cap and drank it.
Fortunately, the evil spirit was swallowed by the apartment. It's just that things seem to be a little bad.
She quickly sent a message to Dong Xie: "Are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, it's okay."
Xie Ruoni saw the news, thought about it, and sent again: "You can send me a voice." ”
She was still a little worried about Dong Xie's situation, and wanted to hear his voice to judge his current situation.
For this ex-boyfriend, she has long lost the slightest love between men and women, but after all, she has been dating for so long, and she is also the person she has thought about spending her life with, and she doesn't want anything to happen to Dong Xie.
"Well, I said ......"
At this moment, suddenly Wang Fan said: "That, is it a bit ...... for Tang Yun to go down?" Long? ”
"Well, still, okay." Mei Yue looked at her phone and said, "I guess he's a little scared, let's walk slowly." ”
In the course of this ritual, they could not contact Tang Yun. Therefore, Xie Ruoni and the others didn't know Tang Yun's current situation.
Tang Yun didn't come up for a long time, which was really frightening. But according to the rules of the Scarlet Quest, it is not possible to go down to find him.
Xie Ruoni glanced at the candle not far from her, afraid that the candle would suddenly go out in the next moment.
At this moment, there was movement at the door. Everyone immediately gathered at the door and saw that Tang Yun had finally returned.
"Are you alright?" Xie Ruoni was the first to walk up and asked with concern, "Nothing special happened, right?" ”
Tang Yun's face was quite bad, his hands trembled and he held a selfie stick, and walked into the room quickly, without saying a word.
At this time, Xie Ruoni remembered what Dong Xie had said to herself.
People who come back......
It may not still be a "human".
She looked at Tang Yun and subconsciously covered her chest......
Mei Yue leaned over to Lin Sen and whispered, "Won't these people know each other before?" It doesn't look like we just met today. ”
"I think ...... too It's like pretending not to know each other. ”
"Well, Mr. Tang, just now...... Did you have any special encounters? Lin Sen walked up to Tang Yun and asked, "If there is, please tell me." ”
Tang Yun bit his lip and said, "Well, no, nothing special happened. ”
"Apple ......" This is the question that Lin Sen is most concerned about: "Apple is still the same, right?" ”
Everyone immediately focused their eyes, and everyone pricked up their ears.
"The number of apples is still the same." Tang Yun immediately replied: "There is no problem! ”
"Well, that's good."
When Lin Sen said this, he obviously felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Before deciding to make a micro-film this time, he didn't think too much about it. But the strange dream and the incredible coincidence of reality made Lin Sen begin to have some fear.
Tang Yun then quickly sat on the sofa, picked up his mobile phone and saw that Xie Ruoni and others had sent him WeChat to inquire about the situation.
"Are you alright?"
"Did you notice anything wrong?"
"yes, let's talk about it!"
Tang Yun trembled and typed on his mobile phone, and quickly sent it to the other four people.
"Nothing special happened. It is...... When I came back, when I was sitting in the elevator...... I always felt like someone was watching me from behind. ”
Seeing this, I can't help but feel creepy.
Then Tang Yun continued to send new texts: "I didn't dare to look back at that time, I didn't dare to read it." ”
Zhao Qishan and Tang Yun have been roommates together for four years, and they know his ostrich-type personality very well, which really fits Tang Yun's style.
Zhao Qishan raised his hand lightly and stroked his forehead.
In his impression, Tang Yun was indeed a person with a strong sixth sense. When he says this, I'm afraid it won't be without purpose.
"You're too nervous, aren't you?" However, Zhao Qishan still sent him such a message: "You haven't looked back, how do you know that someone is watching you?" ”
"I just know. Do you remember when you used to live in the dormitory together? Sometimes I go to bed early, you go to the Internet café to play games, and when you go back to the dormitory, no matter how soft the sound is, I can feel it and wake up. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Qishan couldn't help but feel a sigh.
And Wu Hui, Qiu Feng and Xie Ruoni's faces also became ugly. Next, they must go down too! When you come back, you have to take the elevator too!
The elevator is an enclosed space, and if there is really an evil spirit hiding in the mirror during this process, then the consequences are unimaginable.
But...... In desperation, they must follow the instructions for taking the elevator, or they will be killed by their own shadows.
Xie Ruoni's hand clenched the mobile phone in front of her, and the words sent by Tang Yun, each of which seemed to be constantly enlarged, occupied all her sight.
Lift...... Mirror...... Apple......
She must find a way to integrate all the clues she has at the moment and find as much of a way out as she can.
There are no deaths (or ostensibly no deaths), so perhaps all the clues to the way out haven't been given yet.
In fact...... Xie Ruoni felt that if she really wanted to say it, the best thing to do was not to perform this ceremony, but the blood letter instructions stipulated that the death ceremony must be strictly enforced.
At the same time, there is another problem. The apple in the ritual cannot be used as an absolute guarantee of the appearance of evil spirits, and perhaps this is the apartment taking advantage of the psychological blind spots of the residents. Just because the apple doesn't disappear doesn't mean the evil spirit doesn't come out. To put it mildly, even if the evil spirit were standing in front of her right now, it was very possible, but she couldn't see it.
"Okay, that's me next." Xie Ruoni heard Wang Fan's voice and raised her head to look at him.
Xie Ruoni was the last one.
I'm afraid, it's also the most dangerous one.
Others also knew this, and when they looked at Xie Ruoni, they would have sympathetic eyes.
Xie Ruoni picked up the mineral water bottle and took another sip.
In this world, there is no one who is not afraid of death. Xie Ruoni, naturally, is no exception. Especially after a bloody experience, her fear will only be stronger than that of ordinary people.
Then, Xie Ruoni turned her head and looked in the direction of the candle again.
……
As time went on, one person went down and one came up.
Qiu Feng was the eighth to go down, and when he came back, even his face had turned green, and even his back was completely wet with cold sweat.
Then, it was the eighth person, Lin Sen.
At this time, evil spirits may come at any time.
After Lin Sen took the apple, he went out.
As soon as Lin Sen left, Xie Ruoni knew that she would be next.
"I, I'll go to the bathroom."
Xie Ruoni ran to the bathroom and sat on the toilet with the lid on, her hands trembling and clutching her phone.
Will she die?
Will she die next?
Lift......
What should she do when she enters the elevator?
She buried her head deep in her knees, desperately trying to figure out how to survive.
She doesn't want to die!
It had been about three minutes before she looked up, her face already full of tears.
In the past three minutes, she had already thought of her past life like a marquee. She remembers that when her father was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, he recalled his life almost instantaneously.
The life of an individual is so insignificant. Only when death comes to oneself can one realize how precious life is and how one can live...... By no means a matter of course.
At this time, a WeChat message from Dong Xie was sent on his mobile phone.
Xie Ruoni looked at it stunned.
"Come on, Johnny! We'll see you again! ”
