Chapter 35: The Cabinet
The lateness in Xiao Mo's mouth was naturally obliterated, obviously reminding them that they should speed up.
"Since I found Du Dandan's mobile phone in this direction, I think it shouldn't be very far from the experience hall in this direction, so let's keep walking in this direction. There's nothing good to do about it at the moment. â
The crowd set off again on one side, and on the other.
Tang Shao kept panting, and in his impression, he had already run a distance of no less than five hundred meters. However, the front end of the corridor is still unabated, and the children's voices behind him are still haunted.
"I saw you, I'll go get you now."
The ghost boy said with a resentful "giggle" grin. Its voice came, and Tang Shao heard it clearly, only feeling as if he had been poured cold water, cold from his head to his feet.
He didn't dare to answer, let alone stop, so he just stubbornly ran forward. But no matter how fast he ran or how desperate he was, the ghost boy behind him followed closely.
The ghost boy seems to have done it on purpose, as it has been jumping and hopping, always maintaining a constant speed. And didn't desperately chase him, or teleport directly in front of him.
But this kind of "slow" catch-up did not make Tang Shao feel better at all, because the feeling of being close to death was always permeating his heart. He believed that as long as he stopped, as long as he was caught by that ghost boy, it would definitely be a dead end.
He had no idea what was going on, why the entertainment city that was just a "haunted house" was popping up, and why this ghost was staring at him.
Tang Shao felt that he must be dreaming, from the moment he entered the midnight area, from the moment he entered this hide-and-seek experience hall, he had already fallen into a deep dream. Because in reality, how can there be ghosts, and how can there be such a hellish place!
But there was no doubt that it wasn't a dream, at least he couldn't wake himself up.
He tried to call the police on his mobile phone, but there was no signal on his phone. Even an emergency call can't get through. Turning his head to look behind him, under the light of those human skin lanterns above, the figure of the ghost boy was becoming clearer and clearer!
It's catching up!
The figure behind him frightened Tang Shao almost away, and he was almost at the end of the tree now. Usually neglected to exercise and indulged in alcohol, he couldn't even catch up with the system of ordinary people, and when he ran a distance, his eyes were already black and his body trembled.
"No more...... I can't run...... I'm going to die here......"
The more frightened Tang Shao felt in his heart, the softer his feet became, and the more his body could not exert his strength. He looked back and looked at it timidly. Then he saw that the ghost boy was getting closer to him!
"I don't want to die......"
Tang Shao roared in his heart, in fact, no one was willing to die so inexplicably. Especially a rich second-generation son like him who eats and drinks without worrying and spending a lot of money.
His life seems to outsiders to be like a waste of money and a drunken obsession with money, but it is also slowly filled with helplessness that ordinary people can hardly understand. Because he has no goal or direction in life, he can't raise even the slightest interest in anything.
Like a thought-provoking interview, a reporter interviews a child from a wealthy family and asks him what he wants to do in the future. The kid sued the reporter. He doesn't do anything in the future, doesn't go to school, doesn't struggle, just lives. The reporter was both surprised and amused by his answer. At the same time, I feel that this child is a natural loser.
However, the reporter continued the interview and asked the child again why he didn't want to go to school and didn't want to struggle. The reporter's answer was touched. For the child replied:
"People have to struggle because they want to live a good life, and people have to study because they want to change their fate, but I have a total of 20 properties in my family. I'm living a good life now, and my destiny doesn't need to change at all, unless I'm a natural fool. â
Of course, Tang Shao also knows that he is too dependent on his parents, once his parents' business fails, then he will immediately fall from the sky to hell. But habit makes him indifferent to everything, like a machine, asking for money, spending money, bored, looking for excitement every day......
Even he knows that he is a rich second generation who is envied by outsiders, a waste that even he thinks.
Just like that classic movie line, if people don't have dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish?
But no matter what, Tang Shao felt that his life should not end here, at least, he should not die like a salted fish.
He wants to live!
In the desperate environment, Tang Shao erupted into his last madness, and the desire for life once again infused his legs with strength, and his speed was significantly faster than before.
It's just that he didn't choose to continue to flee, because he knew very well in his heart that his body was not infinite. The potential of the body will not be developed all the time, and it is only a matter of time before he collapses from exhaustion.
Therefore, after throwing the ghost boy chasing behind him out of sight, Tang Shao bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and took advantage of this pain to speed up a little. He leaned to the side, then pushed open the door of a nearby cubicle and slammed in.
The small door of the compartment closed silently again, Tang Shao was so frightened that he had to use all his strength to breathe at this time, he clutched his heart that was hanging high in pain, and searched the entire compartment in horror.
The area of the compartment was very small, and there was hardly a place for zĂ i to hide, but Tang Shao found that there were two cabinets stacked at one end. Although the cabinet did not look large, with his thin body, he might have gotten into it if he really curled up.
The ghost boy could rush in at any time, so Tang Shao didn't have time to think about it, he came to the cabinet in two steps, then opened the cabinet door, and curled up and struggled to get in.
The area in the cabinet was smaller than he expected, and he was already very reluctant to get in, so there was no way to free up his hands to close the cabinet door. He struggled to reach out inside, but his body seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't make any movement at all.
Time passed in such a state, because it was so quiet that he could clearly hear his own heartbeat, and of course, the approaching jump.
The sound of jumping stopped abruptly at this moment, and at the same time, the small door "creaked", and someone pushed a gap open from the outside.
A grimace with a sinister grin came through the crack in the door! (To be continued......)
