Chapter 32: The Stench

"It's too dark......"

Dong Xie used to buy tickets to experience horror novels to go to that kind of haunted house to experience, and the haunted house confiscated mobile phones or lighters for the atmosphere, and after countless tempering, Dong Xie finally succeeded in becoming immune to all kinds of evil spirits played by the staff. Especially when he fell out of love for the first time 2 years ago, he even went to a haunted house 3 times a week in order to heal. Perhaps because of these experiences, he has a little psychological tolerance for this kind of darkness. But now he doesn't have to face the fake ghost played by the staff!

As a result, the three of them were in the dark and didn't walk ten meters for 5 minutes!

Dong Xie knew one thing very well. The 4th floor is likely to be the dead end of this bloody mission! Trigger a dead end, which is not limited by the so-called safety interval. Otherwise, Zhao Long would definitely take advantage of the safe period of Ge Qi's death to come on an expedition!

At this moment, Dong Xie suddenly felt that he had touched a very hard thing under his feet! He was taken aback and immediately moved his feet away!

This...... What is it?

He only felt that his heart had missed a beat just now, and his imagination as a novelist made him even wonder if this was a corpse that had already stiffened.

"There seems to be something here...... I'll take a look at ......"

Dong Xie squatted down and touched the thing......

"Hmm...... This touch ......"

Only then did he realize that it was a potted plant.

He almost made the same mistake as Gurch.

"It's just a potted plant, and it should be an ornamental plant to the touch." Dong Xie breathed a sigh of relief.

Dong Ning was also shocked and said, "Always do this like this...... So dark! ”

Suddenly, Dong Xie grabbed the potted plant and said, "I have a way!" ”

At present, the only light source in the corridor is the elevator display. Dong Xie touched the wall, came to the elevator door, and pressed the button! Then the elevator doors opened!

When the elevator doors opened, the light finally came in. Then, Dong Xie put the potted plant at the elevator door! Then when the elevator door is about to close, it can't be closed because the potted plant is in the middle! This way, the light from the elevator is always shining in!

Dong Ning was stunned, this method has the style of his brother. I remember that since I was a child, my father often told my brother that he usually did not do well in the exams, but he was always very good at playing crooked and evil tricks. For example, in order to conceal the paper that he failed in the exam, he would go to the print store to remake a test paper by himself, and then do the questions and score them himself...... Later, the teacher wrote down his real test results on the student's memo that his parents had to sign every day, and he glued the page of the memo and the next page directly with glue...... Of course, Ah Ning can see through him every time. So when she was a child, Dong Xie always bought her lollipop bribes as hush money......

After putting the potted plants away, Dong Xie stood up and looked at the corridor with light, and he was also a little bold.

"Let's go."

"Hmmm......"

Of course, after a certain distance from the position of the elevator, the corridor is still very dark, but at least it is not like before, even if "those things" stand in front of you, you can't find it.

"There's no movement at all, those two policemen ......" Zhao Long whispered in a voice that only three people could hear, "we also have to be extremely careful......

The 4th floor was indeed cordoned off for a long time, the walls and doors were covered with dust, and cobwebs could be seen everywhere. In fact, when he came in before, Dong Xie felt that the musty smell here was too strong.

"Look at 402," Dong Xie said quickly, "The police may be there...... Whether life or death, it is likely to leave some traces. ”

"There are no door numbers here...... Dong Ning observed carefully, "I don't know where 402 is." ”

Soon, they came to the corner of the hallway.

When they turned the corner, they couldn't see much ahead. It is difficult for the light from the elevator mouth to reach here. Of course, they knew roughly how each floor was structured, and it wasn't too far from the end of the hallway.

"Meow ......"

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying voice came from Dong Xie's ears!

In the darkness, a pair of glowing eyes emerge!

Dong Xie immediately knew that it was the black cat!

For a while, the three of them were in the corridor, and the cat's eye in the dark began to confront each other!

Based on Zhao Long's previous experience, Dong Xie could completely judge that this black cat must also be an evil spirit!

All three took a step back. In the darkness they could only see the eyes of the black cat, and the scene was a bit creepy.

Immediately after, the cat's eye disappeared in the darkness.

"We ...... Still moving forward? Zhao Long's scalp was also numb at this time, and Dong Ning's hand holding Dong Xie also began to tremble desperately.

That cat's eye, which doesn't look like a cat at all, can make people have a weird evil aura from a certain distance!

"Keep going!"

And just when Zhao Long and Dong Ning were starting to lose their steps, Dong Xie was determined: "It's all here!" Can we still be scared off by a cat? ”

In fact, Dong Xie also knows very well that to some extent, the fear brought to them by the black cat is likely to be above the evil spirit. As a horror novelist, he is well aware that this is called the "Uncanny Valley Theory." The closer a non-human thing is, the more likely it is to be fearful.

For example, both of them are the old rulers of the Cthulhu Mythos, and Nyaratotip tends to be more fearful than Azathoth, because Nyaratotip is more human. A cat can be more intimidating when it behaves like a human and conveys a clear emotion.

However, Dong Xie felt that this also clearly revealed that there were indeed clues to life here!

Don't be intimidated!

"Dead birds in the sky! Immortal for thousands of years! We fight! ”

Dong Xie took a step, and at the same time pulled Dong Ning forward! Seeing this scene, Zhao Long had no choice but to continue walking.

Go on, there is hope!

Dong Xie did not slow down, but moved forward at a normal pace. Now if you go slowly, morale is over! He had to boost his morale!

"This?"

They came to the end of the corridor, and at this time, Dong Xie suddenly smelled a foul smell!

"What's the smell?"

Dong Xie was stunned for a moment. Then, he vaguely realized that something was wrong.

Just then, he heard a voice in front of him.

"Is there anyone out there?"

Hearing this voice, Dong Xie immediately walked up and made sure that the sound came from a door!

"Please, if anyone has any, help me contact the police station! I'm a police officer! Stuck here? ”

Yes! Dong Xie immediately remembered that this was the voice of one of the policemen he heard on the first floor before!

"Are you the only one?" Dong Xie hurriedly asked, "Is there anyone else?"

"I still have a colleague, but he's gone!"

Dong Xie stretched out his hand and turned the doorknob in front of him, and to his consternation, the door ...... It's actually open!
