Chapter 217: Shadow of the Night

"Mom, you've been doing well with Dad lately, aren't you?"

"At this point, where can I be if I'm not at home?"

At half past eleven in the evening, Ke Shiqing walked home alone, and the company had been working overtime for half a month, which meant that she had the opportunity to call her parents in her hometown when she commuted early tonight.

Ke Shiqing walked through the underpass, looking at the streets that had become empty, and her heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

After graduating from college, her parents wanted her to return to her hometown to find a stable and comfortable job, but she refused and insisted on going to the big city.

However, Ke Shiqing, who was born in a small county town, has no friends and no connections in the big city at all, and can only rely on her own hands to work slowly, in order to be able to gain a foothold in the big city, Ke Shiqing works hard and does not miss any opportunity, because of this, she has been working overtime for two weeks in a row, and almost every day after work until two or three o'clock in the second half of the night.

Thinking that she would continue to work overtime the next day, Ke Shiqing's nose was a little sour, but when she thought of her parents on the other end of the phone who were worried about her, she forcibly suppressed the grievances in her heart and said to her parents on the phone with a big grin.

"I'm fine here, don't worry!"

"By the way, the day after tomorrow will be paid, and there will be a bonus of 3,000 yuan this month, you can buy whatever you want, don't be reluctant to spend it."

Ke Shiqing calls her parents every month for more than half of her salary, leaving only more than 1,000 for her own use, and the life is called a sham, and even her friends can't stand it anymore.

However, Ke Shiqing never begged anyone, even at the end of each month, when the money was not enough to spend, she never saw her begging anyone.

On the phone, Ke Shiqing had already walked downstairs to the apartment he rented.

"Okay Mom, I'm going to go to bed, you and Dad should rest early."

After a few more greetings, Ke Shiqing reluctantly hung up the phone.

Because I considered that the signal was not good in the elevator for a while, I was afraid that my parents would worry, so I could only hang up the phone before going upstairs.

After hanging up the phone, Ke Shiqing walked briskly into the apartment building.

Because the map is cheap, the apartment she rented is located in the old city, and she has to take the subway for an hour to get to work every day.

Although the house is a little old, it is still quite clean in general, at least that's what she told herself.

But just as she got on the elevator, her phone suddenly rang in a hurry.

Ke Shiqing picked up the phone while walking into the elevator.

"Mr. Zhao, what's the matter?"

The caller was Ke Shiqing's department head in the company, and this department head likes to arrange work for his employees during the off-duty time, Ke Shiqing is simply annoyed by this, otherwise he would not have seen the phone call and drilled into the elevator.

"Ah, I'm in the elevator, what's the matter with you?"

Faced with the call of the top boss after work, Ke Shiqing could not refute the face, and could only hope for the elevator, a place that could isolate the mobile phone model.

"Hello? What do you say? ”

Sure enough, the old-fashioned elevator did not disappoint Ke Shiqing, as soon as the elevator door was closed, the mobile phone signal was immediately gone.

Hearing that there was no movement on the phone, Ke Shiqing was relieved.

However, Ke Shiqing didn't know that the reason why her mobile phone signal was disconnected was not just because the elevator blocked the signal.

A pair of owl-like eyes like owls in the dark night came out of the gap in the elevator, staring directly at Ke Shiqing who was alone.

Finding that the phone had been disconnected, Ke Shiqing took the phone in front of her, but as soon as she took the phone down, she saw that the photo on the phone screen that was originally her wallpaper had been completely spent.

This......

Seeing that there was a problem with her mobile phone, Ke Shiqing couldn't help but scold, you know, she hasn't paid her salary yet, she has to save on meals, and she has no money to repair her mobile phone!

Ke Shiqing walked out of the elevator in great distress, but she didn't see it, just behind her, a dark mist followed her......

Ke Shiqing came home alone and threw her phone aside.

But just as she was about to go to wash up and go to bed, her mobile phone suddenly rang.

This time, it was one of her colleagues with whom she had a good relationship in the company.

"Are you home?"

Ke Shiqing saw that it was his news, and his tired face suddenly revealed a little sweetness.

This boy is in the same company as her, and he expressed his admiration for Ke Shiqing a long time ago, but Ke Shiqing felt that this boy was much younger than herself, so she didn't agree to him for a long time.

Although Ke Shiqing did not agree to him, she should know in her heart that she had already liked him.

"Just got home, ready to wash up, what about you?" Ke Shiqing quickly knocked down this line.

She came home to reply to messages, and she didn't even have time to turn on the lights in her room.

If she had turned on the lights in the house as soon as she got home, she wouldn't have lost sight of the queen of hearts on the table.

and, the black, viscous liquid that flowed from under the thin playing card......

"I'm sorry, Lao Zhao suddenly arranged a lot of work for me today, otherwise I would definitely send you ......"

Seeing this news, Ke Shiqing smiled.

Indeed, during the half month of overtime, he sent himself home every day, every day, that is, something happened temporarily today, so she took the subway home by herself.

"Stupid or not, I'm not a three-year-old child, I can go home by myself!"

Ke Shiqing leaned on the table next to him with his mobile phone and typed down this line of messages.

But just as she was about to press the "send button", her mobile phone suddenly had a splash of screens.

"Ah...... Looks like it's really going to change my phone......"

Ke Shiqing was annoyed for a while, and she was about to restart by pressing and holding the shutdown button, but at the moment when the phone screen went black, she suddenly saw a pair of eyes from the reflection of the screen.

A pair of eyes that are close to your body.

This......

Ke Shiqing was stunned at that time, and was stunned for two seconds before reacting.

"Ahh

Ke Shiqing screamed and turned around suddenly, but behind her, there was nothing to see at all.

Could it be that I am dazzled?

Ke Shiqing was relieved to see that there was nothing behind him.

She comforted herself that maybe she hadn't rested well for a while and was hallucinating......

She trembled and reached for the table next to her, trying to take a sip of water to suppress her shock, but just as she reached for the glass, she suddenly touched something slimy......

"Ahh

The screams were drowned out by the sound of muck cars whizzing through the street outside, and the light from the headlights filtered in through the window, reflecting the strange and twisted reflection of Ke Shiqing's body on the wall......
