Chapter 36: Neighbors

The elevator was like a mirror on all sides, and when I pressed the floor, the elevator doors closed mechanically and slowly rose.

I leaned against the wall, looking at my own face on the elevator door, but I thought of the black cat corpse I had received during the day.

And the courier who wrapped himself tightly and was able to avoid the doorman.

The numbers on the monitor stopped on the fourth floor, the elevator clanged, and the doors pushed open in both directions before my eyes.

My thoughts were disrupted for a moment, and I looked out, and a man in a gray sweater walked in, he glanced at the floor buttons, but didn't press them.

The door closed again, and the elevator swayed slightly as it ascended. The man stood beside me, staring straight ahead, not moving.

I looked at him in the mirror of the elevator door, and the man's figure was very familiar, and he was the same as the courier who had delivered me during the day.

Looking up, I looked at his face, but I was surprised to find that his facial features could not be seen clearly in the mirror, as if covered with a thick layer of fog.

And next to the man, my face can be seen clearly.

I was apprehensive, didn't look at the elevator door again, turned my head a little, and looked cautiously at the side of his face.

The man's side face line is very good-looking, but the skin is as delicate as jade like Xu Yijin, and there is no trace of pores and blemishes, and there is no ruddyness.

Perhaps sensing that someone was watching, he turned his head slightly to meet my gaze, and he smiled at me.

I looked away a little embarrassed, didn't look at him again, pressed my head low, and looked at the shadow of the light in the elevator.

My shadow was slanted on the ground, looking short and large. I looked at the feet of the man beside me again, and there was no shadow under his feet, and he was clean.

The alarm bell sounded in my heart, and I regained my gaze and looked at the man's blurred facial features on the elevator door.

The elevator shook a little, the door gradually opened, I didn't dare to stay with the man next to me, and immediately carried the food in my hand out of the elevator.

What I didn't expect was that the man followed me and got out of the elevator!

The baby's cry was still loud in the safe passage, not as loud as on the first floor, but it could be heard clearly.

In this dark night, it looks even more eerie.

I quickly turned on the voice-activated lights, and the dim light illuminated a small part of the hallway. I walked to the door of the house by the light, but I didn't dare to take out the key, so I kept ringing the doorbell, hoping that Xiaohong would open the door for me.

Although Xiaohong is not a living person, she is much safer than the unknown man behind her.

The man's footsteps came closer and closer, and at last seemed to stop behind me, and my heart hung in my throat, as if it could jump out at any moment.

I don't know when my palms are sweating, and the shopping bag in my hand is crumpled by me. The door of the house still didn't move, probably because Xiaohong didn't hear the doorbell, or she wasn't at home at all.

I shuddered and turned around suddenly, and was surprised to see the man opening the door on the other side, and he drove into the house with ease.

The door was quickly slammed shut, making a loud noise.

I froze in place, looking at the closed door of the room opposite, and I felt inexplicable.

He didn't hurt me as much as I thought, but he lived across the door from me, which meant we were neighbors.

But is he alive?

The answer is clearly no.

I stared at the door for a long time, and when the voice-activated lights were about to go out, the door opened.

Xiaohong's pale face stood behind the door, and she said, "Come in." ”

I came back to my senses, and when I entered the door, I put the food in my hand in the refrigerator and said, "Xiaohong, the neighbor across the street from our house seems to... Not quite normal. ”
