Chapter 10: The Mysterious Room
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the house, Lu Qing knew that the nightmare of the night could be regarded as over. His head was a little heavy due to his poor rest. Chen Shuo had long been accustomed to this kind of life, so he was not affected too much. Lu Qing washed his face with cold water, took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator, and drank it all in one gulp. The carbonic acid violently stimulated his stomach and brain, and Lu Qing also sobered up a lot.
"I'll tell Luo Yike to go to the second floor first, you wash up, and go to Wen Qiao and the others in a while." Lu Qing held bread in his mouth and edited text messages with his mobile phone. "Okay." Chen Shuo's words were still not much, but his attitude had obviously changed, and he was not as wary of Lu Qing as he was at the beginning. After a few quick bites, the two came downstairs.
Lu Qing knocked on the door three times, then paused for a few seconds and knocked twice. After waiting for a while, he repeated the frequency again. This was the code to open the door among the members of the third district, and soon, Li Wenqiao opened the door.
It can be seen that the two girls are not resting well, the two yawn all day, and their faces are full of exhaustion. "Come on, come inside." Li Wenqiao welcomed the two in, and at the same time, she also noticed that Chen Shuo actually took off his hat and mask, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, staring at him several times.
Chen Shuo dodged her gaze a little uncomfortably, and Lu Qing noticed it and smiled: "People are not three-headed and six-armed, you always keep an eye on what he does." I don't know, I think you're interesting to people. After Li Wenqiao heard his words, his body was like an electric shock, and he immediately denied it: "No, I'll just take a look...... What nonsense are you talking about! Look at what I'm doing, we made breakfast, and you don't want to eat it! She stomped her feet in anger, and then pushed the two to the table, Qian Jie couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw this scene, while the two men were confused.
A few minutes later, Luo Yike and Tang Tian also knocked on the door, and several people sat at the table drinking porridge, eating and discussing.
"Brother Tang, how was you over there last night?" Lu Qing was most worried about him, after all, there was a large glass window in the security room facing the corridor, and everything could be seen clearly. Tang Tian yawned and looked very in bad spirits: "Last night, Wang Sheng pulled me to play cards, and after I saw the message you sent, I felt very scared, and I didn't dare to sleep at all, so I simply played with him until dawn." ”
"Do you need to patrol the building at night?" Li Wenqiao asked with concern. When everyone thought of the knock on the door last night, they suddenly felt creepy, and they also sweated for him.
Tang Tian shook his head: "It's not necessary, the work of the security guards here is quite strange." I guess it's because it's a murderous house, or someone has died before, anyway, after 10 o'clock in the evening, we just need to be on duty in the security room, and everything can be seen clearly on CCTV. Wang Sheng said that unless something special happened, there was no need to leave the security room. He is also very taboo about this building, no matter how bold he is, he will not dare to go out in the middle of the night. ”
"Oh, that's better." Lu Qing took a sip of porridge, and then said to Tang Tian: "Brother Tang, your identity is the most special of all people at present, therefore, you are likely to find some clues that we can't detect." So no matter what happens, if you feel something is wrong, feel free to call us. Although the mission limited our travel, we were still free to move around the building until 10 p.m. ”
Lu Qing's meaning is obvious: come to us at any time if you need it. Tang Tian was very moved, he nodded: "But I don't understand, why the mission restricts you from leaving the apartment, only I am the exception." ”
"I'm also puzzled at the moment, it's okay, it's the first day, and the further I go, the more clues I can get. We ate first, and after we finished eating, I thought it would be necessary to reach out to the other residents in the building. Lu Qing's words were agreed by everyone.
"yes, we haven't seen anyone else since we moved in...... You said there wouldn't be no more people alive in this building......" Royco's face turned pale, after all, his companion was dead, and he was scared enough last night.
"Probably not, listening to Wang Sheng, there are still quite a lot of residents in this building." Tang Tian immediately denied his opinion.
"Anyway, there was so much movement outside the door last night that no one else could hear it?" Chen Shuo rarely opened his mouth once.
"Brother Tang, weren't you on duty last night? The surveillance can see the ones outside our door...... Stuff? Qian Jie asked cautiously.
Tang Tian shook his head affirmatively: "When the captain sent me a message last night, he asked me to take a look at the situation, in the surveillance, outside your house...... Nothing. ”
"Also, if you can see ghosts in the surveillance, then I guess no one wants to do the job of a security guard." Lu Qing smiled bitterly and drank the porridge in one gulp. Because he drank a can of iced cola before, the hot porridge reached his stomach at this time, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with you? Is the porridge I cook not tasty? Li Wenqiao had been secretly looking at Lu Qing, and when he saw that his face was not very good-looking at the moment, he was suddenly a little dissatisfied in his heart.
"Oh, no. I drank cold drinks in the morning, and now I drink hot porridge, and my stomach is on fire. Lu Qing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Your cooking skills are very good, this porridge is very fragrant." It's been a long time since I've drunk someone else's own porridge. "That's good." Li Wenqiao picked up the bowl and pretended to drink porridge, covering the corners of his slightly raised mouth.
"That's right, Brother Tang." Lu Qing suddenly remembered something: "What about that Wang Sheng?" Is he home? Tang Tian nodded: "Yes, the bed in the security room is only for rest." We handed over after 7 a.m., he was on the night shift, and now he should go home and rest. ”
After a few people had breakfast, Li Wenqiao and Qian Jie were in charge of cleaning up, while Lu Qing said his plan: "Now there are only six of us, and we will be divided into two groups for a while, one group is responsible for contacting the residents in the building, and the other group is resting." ”
His words surprised everyone, and Lu Qing explained with a smile: "Everyone definitely didn't sleep well last night, and it's daytime now, so it should be safe." After a while, the first group went out to investigate, and the second group stayed with two people, and two people slept, and so on. Especially Brother Tang. You haven't slept all night last night, and when Wang Sheng is on duty tonight, I have to bother you to keep an eye on it, so you must hurry up and have a good rest. ”
Tang Tian wiped his sweat and said, "Yes, that Wang Sheng is not a companion after all, and I don't dare to sleep well if I share a room with him." I'm still struggling with how to speak, thank you so much. ”
"It's okay, then I'll be in charge of reaching out to the residents, who else wants to be with me?" Lu Qing asked.
"Me." Chen Shuo and Li Wenqiao spoke at the same time.
"It's still Chen Shuo, Wen Qiao, you should also hurry up and take a rest." Lu Qing said.
"No, I'm in good spirits." Li Wenqiao stubbornly shook his head: "Brother Tang and Luo Yi can sleep first, both of them are not in a good mental state." Qian Jie and I are both girls, and if something happens, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with. Chen Shuo is at least a boy, and he can protect his teammates when necessary. ”
"You're right." After Lu Qing considered this, he said to Chen Shuo: "Then you can stay and keep in touch at any time." ”
"Okay." Chen Shuo nodded, and then sat down.
"Then we'll go first." Lu Qing told others: "If there is a situation, you must contact me, and don't open the door easily." "Got it, Captain." Everyone was very convinced of Lu Qing, and Luo Yike also regretted it, it was safest to follow the team, if he had listened to Lu Qing from the beginning, maybe Yuan Ye would not have died...... But what's the use of regretting? Here, one wrong step will lead to very serious consequences, and Yuan Ye's death is completely self-defeating.
After leaving the room, the two targeted the next room. It was daytime, but there were no windows in the hallway, so the light was very dim. Li Wenqiao looked at the closed iron door next door, and retreated in his heart. She had a feeling that behind the iron door next door, there seemed to be some ominous aura...... Maybe at this time, I don't know what is hiding behind the door, waiting for them to arrive......
