Chapter Fifty-Six: A New Audience at Midnight
But this situation is actually quite normal.
The form of the staircase that continues down is nothing special or surprising, and it is also a design that folds in half. Their line of sight can neither turn nor see, and being able to see the landing is already the limit.
Unless they go down, they can't see what's happening further down, and at most they can hear movement.
But it is precisely because of this that they are really fatal, and if they can really see it directly, they may not feel so scared.
It's just that I can't see it, and I can only rely on listening to the movement to make up for it myself, and the result is often that the grass and trees are all soldiers, and I am scared of my own end. Just like the sound effects of horror movies and suspense movies, sometimes listening to the sound is the most terrifying.
I can't see it, I can only listen to it, but how can ordinary people master such a high-end skill as "listening to the voice and arguing the position", otherwise I should be able to do it if I feel the wind and act and move when I hear the voice, and I am definitely a master of one to one.
However, the result is that when most people play the game of eating chicken, they will be beaten to cry and cry for their mother.
In the game, you can't master the "listening and arguing position", and you still expect to counterattack in reality and embark on the road of the strong? Sure enough, it's better to wash and sleep, the current version of Earth OL is not for you.
Everyone was more focused than ever before, and they paid 120,000 points of attention, pricking up their ears to listen carefully to the movement below.
“……”
“……”
But the strange noise from below seemed to be caused by something wrong, and now it was alert, and it didn't make any more sound.
But this is the most terrifying thing, the creature carpet below doesn't know how thick it is, no matter what it is, it's hard to make too much noise in that huge fleshy nest.
Who knows if that thing is slowly getting up, silently moving and approaching in their direction?
Just thinking of such a possibility is enough to make them feel suffocated-
Everyone feels the same way at the moment, always feeling that the sound of their breathing is irrepressible, always feeling that their heart is beating violently, always feeling that their upper and lower teeth are about to start fighting, always feeling ......
It seemed like a lifetime had passed, and in the midst of this unimaginable silence, there was finally an opportunity to break the silence.
Although it is said that everyone present would rather be really suffocated to death than see such an "opportunity".
Under the light of the flashlight, a wriggling black shadow seemed to appear at the corner of the staircase, and everyone thought it was an illusion at first, but they still subconsciously shone the light of the flashlight straight through, trying to see clearly.
Then, they saw it as they wished, it was not an illusion, and even the suffocating possibility they imagined had come true.
——There was a strange figure covered in darkness, and under the light of everyone's flashlights, it slowly crawled from the side of the staircase wall to this side.
It has a smooth head shell, saliva flows from its hideous mouthparts, its pitch-black body reflects its luster in the light, and its long, hideous tail seems to be dragged behind it by a chainsaw......
"Different, different—different, alien......?"
In an instant, his face was pale and colorless, and Cen Jingguo's mouth trembled, and it was not difficult to spit out these two words completely.
He had been one of the first to bring up the subject, and now he could recognize at a glance the grotesque figure below who was slowly climbing up the stairs, as if he had come out of a nightmare.
“……”
“……”
But the others did not speak, for their eyes were glazed, their breathing was sluggish, their limbs were numb and stiff, and their thoughts seemed to have come to a standstill.
……
……
A police car turns on the navigation and then moves slowly through the crowded street.
It wasn't until after two traffic lights that I turned into a relatively secluded and less crowded road, and then began to accelerate and move forward extremely smoothly, quickly driving towards my destination.
"No. 13 and No. 14, Xiajiu Road, Xicheng District, located near the Lakeside Garden Community......"
"Well, wait, aren't these those two ghost buildings? Those guys do their jobs and die, but why do they always like to pick places like this? ”
The three policemen in the car were talking.
The elderly policeman in the driver's seat looked at the terminal pointed out by the navigation and frowned, as if he felt something familiar, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly came to his senses.
"Haunted building? Or two? …… Is there such a place in our city? ”
A policeman who was relatively young and white-looking asked a little puzzled, his eyes full of curiosity. However, judging from his age, it is normal for him to be so young that he has not heard of these outdated supernatural rumors.
"Yes, it's a very old saying, because it's a conjoined building, and it was built a long time ago......" the older policeman said casually, and his opening also lifted the spirits of the two policemen in the back seat.
This is an older generation of characters, ready to tell the old story?
"It's been renovated several times, but it's the kind that the residents don't live in for long, and I don't know too much, but I've heard people say it before...... In the middle of the night, I often hear women crying in the building. ”
The older policeman thought for a moment, then said in a slow tone.
"And there are houses where there are no people, but the windows in the house open on their own, or there are people who sleep in the bed and wake up the next day to find themselves on the ground...... Slowly, word spread that there was something wrong there. ”
As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders and added with a smile: "I don't believe it anyway, but Hongfumi, you seem to be looking forward to it-"
"Ahem, master, don't talk nonsense." The young policeman grinned, "I just think it's a novelty to go to the police at night to check on such an incident." ”
"If you come a few more times, you won't find it novel, you will only think that these people are boring and troublesome, and it's a complete waste of police resources......"
The older policeman sighed and said with a helpless smile.
This time the police were dispatched because the alarm center received many calls from people, saying that a certain live broadcast team was in distress again. The people who called the police all claimed that they were watching the live broadcast, and at first they thought it was a well-arranged scene, but the more they watched it, the more wrong it became.
Because that small team has only recently become more famous, it is no problem to say that they can eat and drink spicy food, but if they can spend at least 10 million yuan to do those explosion-breaking special effects, they will not believe it.
And the production of special effects also takes time, so it's impossible to get it out for you in a few days, and it's still the kind that people can't see any flaws...... So the caller claimed that he felt that the team might really have encountered something incomprehensible.
To be honest, the alarm center is generally not very interested in this kind of unreliable alarm content.
Met a female ghost in red? Also encountered the space monster alien in the sci-fi movie? And there are people who are being hunted down, the situation is extremely dangerous, and they may die at any time?
- Peaty, what is the credibility of such a thing? You know it's funny just by listening to it, right?
There are more people spreading rumors on the Internet, and there are countless people who believe in the end of the world every day, so they can't deal with everything...... If you manage everything, there will not be enough police force.
But there are more people who have no choice but to call the police, not one or two, and some of them are more cautious in their words, not saying anything about the alien female ghost, just saying that someone in that place may be in danger.
As a result, the local police department had to deal with it carefully.
It's okay if there is no accident, but if something happens, someone will call the police, but as a public service system, there is no response, and there will be a big problem afterwards.
Besides, they actually know the live broadcast team, after all, they were in the suburbs just a few days ago, and there were still people in the police station who thought that they might be involved in some clues about the criminals' dens, so they naturally wouldn't forget it so quickly.
Therefore, after the alarm center received the content of the alarm, for the sake of prudence, it was decided to verify the information of the parties.
This is also very simple, after all, the team only made a note a few days ago, and the information and everything have been preserved, and it doesn't take much effort to find out.
But this verification has added some credibility - the mobile phones of the six number owners are all unreachable, and they try to contact them, but no one on the other side of the phone answers.
This attracted the attention of the police, and after watching the live broadcast screen of the live broadcast room, they finally decided to send the police to take a look, anyway, it is in the city, the distance is not far away, take a look.
It's just that there is a good saying, "You never know if you're sitting across the screen from a person or a dog."
Watching the image through the screen, no one can really confirm whether the shooting is real or fake, plus the times have been developing, technology has been advancing, the most intuitive is the rapid development of the entertainment industry, the effect of various special effects against the sky.
It was not uncommon for people to distinguish between real and fake screen effects many years ago.
The repeated bombardment of various Hollywood blockbusters over the years has not only brought about the improvement of people's horizons and more and more critical tastes, but also caused many people to have an illusion for no reason.
That is, when you see some images, if you find that the content is not logical, then you will subconsciously conclude that it is fake.
But this is also normal, and "unreasonable" is the best reason, as if you saw an apple fall from a tree to the sky, or a waterfall from a deep pool to a mountain...... If you don't first suspect that it's fake, do you still think it's true?
-- Subconsciously denying irrational phenomena and suspecting fraud is the normal manifestation of ordinary people.
Therefore, the three policemen who are now out of the police have actually made the mistake of such a mindset, even if they go to the live broadcast room to take a look, they will not think that it is a real thing.
Therefore, I just think that it is to go over and see what is going on, and the good result is nothing more than criticism and education, and order those dead guys not to continue to play like this, and always waste their police power.
The worst outcome is that they happen to encounter some kind of criminal's nest again, but at that time, it would be better for them to call for reinforcements.
With this mentality, the police car slowly approached its destination.
"It's the front, you don't need me to tell you can know it, those two old and deserted buildings...... Hey, what's going on on the street over there, why are so many people around? ”
The older cop in the driver's seat noticed something was wrong.
"Well, it seems that there is a taxi parked there, and there are too many people to see it realistically...... But it doesn't seem like there was an accident, maybe there was some friction and conflict? ”
The young policeman narrowed his eyes: "Do you want to go over and have a look?" ”
"Gao Yang, go and take a look, remember to inform the traffic police. You mainly maintain the scene, just don't let the situation escalate until they arrive, don't do a big deal...... Hirofumi and I went to the building to have a look. ”
The older policeman made a decisive decision.
This kind of thing can't be treated as not being seen, but it's also very troublesome to deal with, and it can take a long time...... They can't all be dragged here.
