Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Darkness Behind You

"Huh? Brother Xiaolong, how do you know it's not this one? It's the smallest building, right? Wang Ying asked puzzled.

"It's that only this building is the shortest, not just the smallest." Chen Li shook his head, looked around, and said, "Moreover, the location of this building is just blocked by other buildings, and the lights of this building cannot be seen from outside the community." ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Ying still didn't understand.

Chen Li didn't bother to explain to her, and walked straight to the ten-story unit building.

Push open the door of the unit building, and there is an security door on each side after entering, and then in the middle is the staircase that goes up to the second floor.

Wang Ying was a little uneasy following Chen Li, and hesitated: "Brother Xiaolong, this building has ten floors, so it can't be considered a small building......

"Which is bigger, two times ten or six times six?" Chen Li asked.

Wang Ying was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized: "I understand, there are at least six units on each floor of that six-story building, and the other eight-story buildings are similar, only this building has only two households on each floor!" ”

Chen Li nodded, saying so, but he was not sure if this building was a cursed small building.

He decided to move to the six-story unit because the stocky man didn't enter the building.

Compared to the previous six-storey building, this building has better lighting, and even if there is no light, you can see the surroundings clearly.

Chen Li pushed the doors on both sides, which were locked, and he took Wang Ying to the second floor.

There are only two security doors on the second floor, which are also closed, Chen Li was about to continue to go up to the third floor to have a look, when suddenly a loud noise came from upstairs, and the sound should be above the fifth floor.

"Someone's slamming the door!" Chen Li's face moved, guessing that it should be a short and fat man, he quickened his pace and ran upstairs.

"Brother Xiaolong, wait for me!" Wang Ying shouted in the back, and then another "oops" came, as if she had fallen.

Chen Li ignored Wang Ying, ran all the way to the sixth floor, and finally saw an open security door.

He gasped for breath and clung to the handrail of the staircase to rest for a while, noticing the difference between this level and the others.

On the walls to the left and right of the door that had been opened, people had written with graffiti pens, and between the lines were curses.

The one who was scolded was a girl named "Han Xiaoyu", and the name should be a girl.

I don't know who wrote it, but through these words, Chen Li could see how heavy the resentment in this person's heart was.

"Is this what it's called a curse?" Chen Li shook his head, feeling a little nonsense.

The figure of the short and fat man walked out of the room, glanced at Chen Li, who was panting, and said, "You come in and take a look." ”

With that, he turned and went into the house again.

Chen Li's eyes flashed, and he was more wary of the short and fat man, so he didn't go in directly, but came to the door to observe the situation in the room first.

It was a two-bedroom room, the furniture was still there, it was covered with dust, and the short and fat man was not in the living room, he should have entered a bedroom.

The black phone rang suddenly, and Chen Li's heart jumped, it was six o'clock!

I took out my phone and looked at it, and I received a prompt message that the game had started.

"When the game started, my sister looked at the celebrity scandal and said to me with a smile that she also wanted to make headlines, and that night, I turned off the lights ......"

"She is my good best friend, we have had a good relationship since high school, we didn't get into college, we went to work in a chemical factory together, she was with someone I liked, and that night, the lights in her house didn't ......turn on"

"I heard a roar from the other side, I hid under the covers and didn't dare to move, I knew that the demon had gone to her house in the darkness......"

"When darkness falls, the curse spreads, don't let the darkness behind you catch up with you, no one knows, what kind of ...... is hidden in that darkness Dangerous! ”

The lights in the stairwell suddenly turned on, and Chen Li glanced up and frowned.

There are no rules of the game, no saying how to play this game.

Don't let the darkness behind you catch up with you?

Chen Li glanced back behind him, and then looked ahead.

There was no light in the room, but the stairwell was lit instead.

The contents of the black phone's screen changed, and a countdown appeared in the time, which was ten minutes.

The short and fat man came out of a bedroom, holding a bloody kitchen knife in his hand, he grinned at Chen Li and said, "It seems that this game doesn't need to kill people." ”

"You just wanted to kill me?" A trace of panic flashed in Chen Li's eyes, and he took a deep look at the short and fat man.

"Don't worry, it's all over." The short and fat man threw the knife in his hand and muttered, "It's a pity for that guy, he died unjustly." I can't be blamed for this, who called the rules of the game not clear. ”

Chen Li didn't say a word, and ran downstairs, it was too dangerous to be with this short and fat man, listen to him, he had already killed someone.

It was probably the man who had entered the sixth floor earlier.

By the way, the inch-headed man also entered the six-story building, and he didn't come to this building, is there an accident now?

Chen Li thought in his heart, his feet did not stop, and he ran all the way to the third floor, and vaguely heard a voice coming from the first floor.

"What to do? This door can't be opened, and we may not be able to get out before the game is over? It was Wang Ying's voice who asked, and I didn't know who she was talking to.

"It's good that I found that you guys weren't reacting, damn it, almost waiting for the game to start on the sixth floor!" Another voice came, it was from the inch-headed man.

He actually came to this building.

Chen Li ran to the first floor, and sure enough, he saw the two of them.

"Brother Xiaolong, what did you find upstairs? Is that Humpty Dumpty there? Wang Ying asked him with a happy face when she saw Chen Li.

Chen Li nodded, his gaze swept over Wang Ying and the inch-headed man's faces, and said, "That guy is a madman!" Watch out for him! ”

"Who isn't crazy about playing this game?" The inch-headed man smiled, not caring.

"You've all received text messages, haven't you? Now what? I didn't even understand how to play this game. Wang Yingxiu frowned slightly.

Chen Li glanced at the door, stepped forward and tried to open it, only to find that it had been locked, and even if it was inside, it needed a key to open it.

"Don't look at it, you can't get out, even if you can get out, do you dare to go out? Don't forget, this is where the game will be. The inch-headed man sneered.

"Bang !!"

Another loud bang came from upstairs, Chen Li and Wang Ying glanced at each other, and said, "That Humpty Dumpty is slamming the door again, go, go up and have a look!" ”

The three of them walked together and walked upstairs, this time Chen Li did not rush to run first, but walked slowly upward with Wang Ying.

When passing by the sixth floor, the inch-headed man and Wang Ying also saw the door that had been smashed open by the short and fat man before, but they didn't say anything, and they didn't want to go in to have a look.

"Wait a minute, go in and search for something." Chen Li's eyes flashed and he stopped, and suggested to the two.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Xiaolong." Wang Ying nodded and followed Chen Li into the house.

The inch-headed man hesitated for a moment and then followed.

The light in the room was very dim, and he could only barely see through the light in the corridor, Chen Li faintly felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't say it.

Picking up the kitchen knife that was thrown away by the fat man before, Chen Li prepared to use it for self-defense.

The inch-headed man glanced at him vigilantly, grabbed Wang Ying, and asked Chen Li, "What do you want to do with a knife?" ”

"Just in case." Chen Li pointed to the kitchen with a knife and said, "You can also find out if there are any weapons, mainly to guard against that Humpty Dumpty." ”

The inch-headed man nodded suspiciously and walked to the kitchen.

And Wang Ying didn't look worried, and walked directly to Chen Li's side: "Brother Xiaolong, you have to protect me." ”

"Huh?" Chen Li's gaze inadvertently swept over the window, stepped forward and opened the curtain, and his face suddenly changed.

"What's wrong, Brother Xiaolong?" Wang Ying came to the window and looked outside, her face also changed: "What's the matter?" It's suddenly dark outside? ”

"It's dark?" The inch-headed man came out of the kitchen with a spatula in his hand, the only thing he could find that looked like a weapon......

When he came to the window, the inch-headed man frowned, raised his hand and wanted to open the window, but Chen Li stopped him.

"Don't open the window, forget what that text message says?"

"Darkness?" The inch-headed man's face changed, and he pointed out the window and said, "You mean the danger comes from outside?" ”

"I don't know." Chen Li shook his head: "It's better to be careful." ”

After rummaging through the room for a while, and finding nothing else to use, the three of them left the room and continued their way upstairs.

Listening to the previous voice, the short and fat man should be on the seventh or eighth floor.

Chen Li walked in front, the kitchen knife was horizontal in front of him, and Wang Ying hid behind him.

Because Chen Li was holding a knife in his hand, the inch-headed man didn't dare to get too close to him, and hung far behind.

When I went up to the seventh floor, the security doors on both sides were still there, and there were no traces of being smashed, and the short and fat man was not on this floor.

"Hey, did you two hear anything?" The inch-headed man caught up with Chen Li and them, and asked with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"What sound?" Chen Li frowned and looked at him.

"The sixth floor, the room we just came out of." The inch-headed man pointed behind him and said with a shudder: "I seem to have heard someone in the room talking just now. ”

"Don't scare me......" Wang Ying shrank and hugged one of Chen Li's arms.

Chen Li glanced at Wang Ying, even if she was holding her hand at the airport, she didn't feel it at all, it was really boring.

"Did you hear me right?" Chen Li asked.

"I don't know, or ...... Let's go back and see? The inch-headed man was also uncertain.

"Let's go up and see what Humpty Dumpty is up to, there's only three minutes left in the countdown." Chen Li shook his head, glanced at the time on the black phone, and continued to walk upstairs.

When they came to the eighth floor, they were stunned by what they saw.

I saw that the door on the right had been opened, needless to say, I knew that it was a short and fat man, and what made the three of them stunned was that the light in this room was on.

Chen Li and the others had tried before, and the light switches on every floor were broken, including the room on the sixth floor that was open.

The light in this room turned on, Chen Li instantly figured out something, and said to the two: "Enter the house!" ”

But before they could make a move, Humpty Dumpty appeared at the door, grinned at them, and closed the door!
