Chapter 45: Only in the Mountains
The entire second floor seemed to be the only one breathing, but the sound seemed to be getting louder and louder, and I was a little strange, trying to cover my mouth and hold my breath. But what made my hair stand upside down was that the breathing in my ears did not disappear, and I was still panting regularly.
Only then did I realize that the voice didn't seem to be mine......
This time, I was in a cold sweat, and I didn't care if there was anyone in the house, so I hurriedly turned on the flashlight function of the mobile phone and took a look around vigilantly.
There was nothing, the whole house was empty.
Except for my shadow moving on the floor, the whole room seemed to be still. Everything seems to have stopped at some point in time, and everything has frozen.
I saw that the bathroom door at the end of the hallway seemed to be opened, which seemed strange when all the doors were closed.
I crept over and hesitated as I stood in the doorway.
This kind of scene is not less played in horror movies, usually when you open the door, you either see a hanged ghost hanging on the door frame, or someone who cuts his veins and lies in the bathtub, and blood flows all over the ground.
I secretly made up all the possibilities, and after being mentally prepared, I gently pushed the door open.
The bathroom was quiet and there was nothing.
Directly opposite me was a jacuzzi, and looking next to the tub was a sink with a simple semi-circular mirror on it.
It's just that I wonder why a nursing home has a jacuzzi in its bathroom? Jacuzzi is expensive, because I paid attention to the price of these things when I was renovating my home not long ago, so I am no stranger.
Because it was already dark outside at this time, the light in the room was not very sufficient, so I subconsciously touched the switch on the side of the bathroom and gently flipped it.
I was shocked, wouldn't turning on the lights at this time be telling everyone that I had snuck in.
But fortunately, the lights didn't come on, and I guess there was either a power outage or the fuse bleed.
I didn't find anything in a big circle, and I didn't see any suspicious people, except for the broken mirror, and there was no sign of anyone coming.
I took out my phone and reconfirmed the location that Lao Meng sent me, and I was sure that this was the place. Even the place where I was standing at this moment coincided exactly with the finish line he sent me.
I turned around and was about to walk out of the bathroom when I suddenly heard the sound of water dropping from behind me, which looked ethereal in the dark bathroom.
Tick, tick, tick......
I thought it was the faucet that wasn't tightened, or the shower was leaking. Then he turned around and checked the bathroom shower, reached out and touched it, the shower was dry, as if no one had used it for a long time. Not a drip from the shower, I checked the faucet of the sink again. It's the same situation, it's all dry.
It's a little strange, it's not a shower or a faucet, where is the sound of water coming from?
The sound of water droplets is continuous, and although the intervals are long, the time is very even, almost every five seconds. I was a little annoyed by the voice, as if I had been teased.
When you are inattentive, the sound around you may be just noise to you, but when you put all your attention on one of the sounds, then your mind is full of this sound. No matter how faint the sound is, it will be a loud noise in your ears.
I'm in this state right now, I'm on the verge of collapse by the ticking sound, it's in my ears, but I can't find where.
Suddenly, I felt a chill on my face, as if water had fallen on the bridge of my nose.
I stretched out my hand and wiped it casually, and when I took it to my eyes, I found that it was blood!!
My neck froze suddenly, and I looked down at the ground, which was already covered in blood. It's just that I haven't looked at my feet before, so naturally I haven't noticed.
It turned out that the ticking sound just now was not water, but blood.
I swallowed and spit, holding my phone up and slowly shining it up, almost scaring me to pee my pants.
Just above me, a bloody man was hanging. All limbs were fastened to the ceiling with a black chain, as well as one under the neck.
His head was facing me, and his mouth seemed to have been torn open to the base of his ear. It was as if someone had drawn a mouth on his face, with the corners of the mouth pointing upwards.
As soon as I looked up, I saw him smiling at me so strangely.
The blood on the ground seemed to be running down the corners of his mouth, and every hair on my hair seemed to stand up instantly, and my mind was blank without thinking about anything, and I immediately ran downstairs.
I ran for my life, as if the man would rush down from above and catch up with me at any moment, and I ran to the hall on the first floor in two clicks.
Standing in the hall, he seemed to calm down, but he was still shocked.
Who did this? It's not like an ordinary robbery or theft, it's more like a long-planned murder. And after killing someone, you have to make people look like that, it's just perverted.
I forced myself to calm down and start from scratch. Lao Meng sent me the location, and the third said that the mobile phone was still in his hand when he came here, and if he couldn't get through after sending the location, it means that he was controlled nine times out of ten.
So there are two things that need to be solved now, one is where Lao Meng is now, and the other is what happened to this nursing home.
I was thinking about it when suddenly a pair of hands reached out from behind me and grabbed me and dragged me towards the corner.
Before I could struggle, the man was pulled into a storage room under the stairs.
Lao Meng covered my mouth and shushed, and I saw that it was he who quieted down.
At this time, the old-fashioned elevator door suddenly opened, and Lao Meng's father walked out of the elevator and walked out of the door, and there was no longer the woman beside him, only the middle-aged man who accompanied him before.
Immediately after that, the strong men carrying iron rods from before walked down the stairs and followed behind Lao Meng's father.
After everyone left, Lao Meng let me go.
I hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" How did you get here? What's going on with your dad? ”
Lao Meng followed his father out, and only after making sure that there was no one else in the building did he say, "At that time, I didn't go far after the two of us ran out, and I kept hiding in the teahouse opposite." Later, I didn't follow my dad until he came out, and I followed him all the way here. When they got here, they went straight upstairs, and I listened for a while, and guess what I was listening to? ”
"What?"
"Your dad is also in Hangzhou."
This news is nothing short of a bombshell to me. It turns out that I went around in circles all over the world, and he turned around in Hangzhou?
I was a little surprised, a little delighted, and a little angry.
"How do you know?"
"I heard my dad call and said something, Lao Xiao, no one was found, and there is nothing you want, don't waste your efforts. Isn't that obvious enough? ”
But in this passage, what makes me pay more attention is that it is not the word Lao Xiao, but that people have not found it......
Before, Lao Meng's father tortured and asked about the whereabouts of a person in the massage parlor, so in this case, my father is also looking for this person?
I then asked, "Nothing else did your dad say?" ”
"Then I didn't hear clearly, I was so scared that I hurried down when I heard movement in the yard."
"You came down and broke a mirror?"
"yes, you know. I was scared to death, so I quickly wiped my footprints and hid on the second floor, for fear of being heard by the gang upstairs. But luckily their room was soundproof, so I didn't hear the two of us. ”
I was relieved, since my dad was in Hangzhou, it meant that people were safe for the time being. As long as there is no worry about life, other things can be put aside.
But if you want to get to the bottom of my questions about the whole thing, you have to find him as soon as possible.
After discussing with Lao Meng, I planned to get up early the next day to find his father, because I saw the license plate number at the door on the way here, so it was not difficult to find someone.
The two of us returned to the hotel before dark, and Lao Meng didn't seem to see the person tied to the ceiling of the bathroom on the second floor, and I didn't say anything after thinking about it, for fear that he would be stimulated one after another in a day.
When I went back at night, I couldn't sleep for a long time, and the TV program began to broadcast the credits, and there was really nothing to watch, so I just turned off the lights and went to sleep.
But as soon as the lights were turned off, my mind was filled with the bloody images I had seen in the apartment before, and I couldn't close my eyes.
After tossing a few laps, he kicked the quilt away, turned over and sat up, turned on the light and stared at the eyes to sit until dawn.
I couldn't stand it in the middle, and I slept a few times intermittently, but I was awakened by nightmares.
"Hostess, do you have any phone numbers for ordering?" I walked downstairs sleepily and stood at the counter with my head hunched.
The proprietress snapped the calculator and looked up at me, obviously startled, "Oh, you were a thief last night, and the dark circles under your eyes are so heavy." ”
I don't have time to talk to her, "Is there a phone number for food ordering?" ”
The proprietress shook her head, flipped under the counter twice, found several small colorful cards, and threw them in front of me. "See for yourself"
I just stood in front of the counter and flipped through a few times, all of which were written about the usual snacks, fried noodles, fried rice, risotto, Miss Bao, and risotto.
…… Miss Bao? I picked up one of the cards, and it had a picture of a very coolly dressed woman, with a provocative remark on it. The eye-catching words 'Miss Bao' below are in plain sight.
I smiled speechlessly, "Your service is quite considerate." ”
The proprietress stretched out her head to take a look, but she was not embarrassed, she looked at me with silky eyes and smiled, "You need to find me." ”
I threw a few business cards back, and I didn't feel like I had any appetite for the restaurant, so I just said, "No." ”
After speaking, I turned around and went upstairs, and I happened to see Yu Nian who had changed his clothes after washing.
Yu Nian seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated, and I asked, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”
She knew and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the air conditioner seems to be broken." ”
As soon as I heard this, I felt that the spirit came to me instantly, and the small theater in my brain began to play.
