Chapter 19: A Call for Help
Basement.
Wang Yuli patted his chest, and there was a bit of complaint in his tone.
Shi Nan's sudden appearance startled him, but fortunately, it was him, in case it was a ghost......
When he thought of the word "ghost", Wang Yuli felt a wave of unease inexplicably.
He raised his head and was about to ask why Shi Nan was here, however, out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Shi Nan's shadow on the wall.
Is that!
Wang Yuli trembled, and his panic and despair overwhelmed him almost instantly.
In the shadow of "Shi Nan", there are two slender and long arms dancing!
"He" is not Shi Nan, absolutely not!
"Run!"
Wang Yuli still has a bit of a conscience, and when he ran away, he called Tan Meifeng by the way.
Fortunately, this basement is the same as going upstairs, there are two stairs on the left and right, otherwise in the current situation, Wang Yuli will definitely die!
Just as the two of them pulled out their legs and fled towards the stairs on the other side, "Shi Nan" finally stopped hiding it, "he" opened his mouth, spit out a tongue full of foul stinking mucus, and extended towards Wang Yuli and Tan Meifeng.
Wang Yuli glanced back, the terrifying tongue frightened him, he ran forward desperately, and the potential of his body had been subconsciously exerted to the limit.
However, that terrifying tongue is still approaching......
The two of them ran to the bottom of the stairs on the other side with all their might.
However, the staircase in front of him almost made Wang Yuli desperate.
"How can this be ......"
Wang Yuli muttered in despair, this staircase looks at least a hundred meters long!
No way...... It's simply not possible.
Wang Yuli and Tan Meifeng had obviously arrived at the stairs, but they didn't dare to take a step forward at all.
In the dark basement, although there was a bright light at the end of the stairs, this brought Wang Yuli not hope, but despair.
At this moment, Duan Xu's words were suddenly recalled by him.
"There is a problem with the stairs on the left, only the right side can walk."
He subconsciously thought that the rule only applied upstairs, and he didn't expect that the entire apartment would apply......
Staircase......
He wanted to retreat, but he didn't dare to retreat.
Although the terrifying tongue had retracted, the faintly echoing footsteps in the basement made it clear to him that "Shi Nan" was descending the stairs.
Wang Yuli swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his voice was now dry and hoarse, he looked at Tan Meifeng and asked, "...... What to do? β
When he said this, he turned his head, wanting to hear Tan Meifeng's opinion, but Tan Meifeng's expression at the moment almost frightened him into screaming.
Her face was as white as paper, and her whole person was in a trance, and her eyes lost focus.
What's wrong with her?
At first sight, Wang Yuli thought that she had also become a ghost.
Time does not allow him to think about it, because ...... The sound of going down the stairs is getting closer!
Shadows waving their slender arms also appeared on the walls of the basement.
It's coming!
Escape!
At this moment, Wang Yuli didn't dare to hesitate at all, he turned around and took a step, grabbed Tan Meifeng's hand, and then stepped onto the stairs.
Even if it is more than 100 meters of stairs, as long as you try your best, you should still be able to rush up.
I don't want to die, I can't die......
Wang Yuli suppressed the fear in her heart and pulled Tan Meifeng to run wildly on the stairs!
But......
He was trying to climb the stairs, but at least thirty seconds had passed, and he was still a fifth of the way up the stairs, and when he turned his head, he could see the basement floor.
He obviously stepped up three or four stairs in one step and climbed for more than thirty seconds, why was he still not far from the staircase?
Why?
Why!
Outlet...... The sun is clearly in front of you......
This unimaginably strange situation has completely collapsed Wang Yuli's emotions!
Like a madman, he let go of Tan Meifeng's hand at some point, and climbed up with his hands and feet.
No way......
No way......
I'm sure I'll be able to go up......
Wang Yuli muttered nervously, his fingers had rubbed blood from too hard, but the reality made him even more desperate.
This staircase seems to have become longer than it was before......
If when you first saw it, it was more than 100 meters long, now it is at least 200 meters long...... The light at the end has become only the size of a fist.
In the basement behind him, there was also the sound of terrifying footsteps through the staircase.
You can't climb to the top, and you can't go back.
Stamina is also draining like crazy.
The situation in front of us is simply desperate......
Although Wang Yuli's emotions have completely collapsed under fear, his most basic reason is still there, and he knows very well that once his strength is exhausted and he falls on the stairs, then there is only a dead end waiting for him.
No......
I don't want to die...... I don't want to die!
"Duan continued! Bai Feiyu! Wang Yuli suddenly raised his head and shouted hoarsely: "Help!" Duan continued, Bai Feiyu! Help me, please, help! β
He didn't care if he would be heard by the ghost behind him, he just wanted to try again one last time, and now ...... There was nothing he could do about it.
He could only hope that those two people, Duan Xu and Bai Feiyu could come to save him.
Now...... Duan Xu was standing at the door of Room 506 on the fifth floor.
He faintly heard who was calling to him.
"Someone is calling for help."
Duan Xu's gaze seemed to penetrate the floor, looking in the direction of the sound, and after carefully distinguishing it, he confirmed that the voice calling for help belonged to Wang Yuli.
"It's Wang Yuli." Bai Feiyu also heard it.
Wang Yuli's voice sounded full of despair, hoarseness and pain.
"You go in first, I'll go to the first floor to have a look."
Duan Xu made a decision immediately.
"Hey!"
Bai Feiyu screamed, she looked at Duan Xu's back and immediately turned around, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that it was a ghost disguised calling for help?" β
Duan Xu's footsteps froze, and although he didn't look back, his voice came: "I'm afraid, but I can't afford to gamble." β
With that, he hurried downstairs.
"Don't worry, if it's a real call for help, it means that there is still room for maneuver, and if it's fake, I'll find a way to get out."
Looking for a way to get out?
Way...... What's the solution...... If it's fake, where else is there to do it?
Bai Feiyu looked at the place where Duan Xu left in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He doesn't look like a naΓ―ve person, why...... To do such a thankless job?
She didn't approve of Duan Xu's behavior, but a text in the notes left by her parents appeared in her mind inexplicably at this moment.
"I make mistakes a lot, and they always say, 'I can't make it to the end.'" But...... I am a human, not a machine, and people cannot always make the right choices, and many times, we cannot distinguish between right and wrong in what we do. There are countless moments like this in life, how to choose, how to choose, determines the direction we ultimately reach, I don't want to judge whether my choice is right or wrong, perhaps, the choice itself is not right or wrong at all. Because the moment of disagreement in choice means that we are human beings, independent and special people, not machines that measure the gains and losses of interests......"
