Chapter Twenty-Four: The Man Who Goes Ahead
Li Bai's blood seemed to be frozen, and if the light was turned on now, he would definitely be able to see that his face had turned white with fright. His hand holding the phone trembled.
"You... Who are you? Although Li Bai's eyes were aimed at the door, he still asked angrily.
The scratching of the door continued, and only a faint scratching sound could be heard on the other end of the phone at this time.
"What's wrong?" Lei Baoquan heard that Li Bai's voice was a little wrong, and asked.
Li Bai changed the phone to speakerphone, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes... Someone... Let me give her... Open the door..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a high-pitched and mournful voice suddenly shouted on the phone: "Open the door!" β
This terrifying shout sounded in the corridor across the door at the same time, scaring the two people at the same time, and Li Bai even threw his mobile phone on the bed.
At this time, the two heard the door of the next room being opened, followed by Jin Guo's shout: "Who?!" β
When Lei Baoquan heard this, he also hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door. At this time, the Kingdom of Jin had come to their door.
"What just happened?" Jin Guo asked.
"I don't know, but I heard a knock on the door." Lei Baoquan replied.
Uncle Li came out of the house while getting dressed and asked, "What's the situation?" The moment you pulled the door just now, it scared me a lot. β
Jin Guo said apologetically: "I vaguely heard movement in the corridor just now, and then I heard that there seemed to be a knock on the door of their room. As soon as I wanted to take a look, I suddenly heard a woman shouting in the corridor, so I rushed out to take a look. β
"Yes, someone did knock on the door just now, and a woman called Xiaobai to ask him to open the door, not to mention how terrifying the sound was." Lei Baoquan said.
Uncle Li and Jin Guo walked into the house, saw that Li Bai was still sitting on the bed and did not slow down, and asked, "Xiaobai, are you okay?" β
Li Bai still had the terrifying female voice just now in his mind, and it took a while to come back to his senses and say, "I've told you all about it, as long as I'm here, no matter what the hell it is, they will only come at me......"
Uncle Li looked at Li Bai's frightened appearance, returned to his room and took the satchel. Take out a compass-like thing inside.
"What is this?" Jin Guo asked.
"This is what my father restructured on the basis of the compass." Uncle Li explained.
"So high-end? What is it called? Lei Baoquan asked.
Uncle Li glanced at him and said, "It's also called a compass." β
Lei Baoquan smiled awkwardly and watched Uncle Li walk around the room with a compass.
Although Li Bai was frightened, like the previous times, when he saw Uncle Li take out the guy and make a move, he was more curious than afraid.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Li Bai calmed down and asked.
Uncle Li saw that he was much better, and said, "I'm looking for the one who scared you just now." β
"Can this be found?"
Uncle Li snorted lightly and searched intently. Lei Baoquan and the three of them also surrounded him, only to see that there were actually four pointers in the middle of the modified compass, which were turning in a mess at this time.
"What's going on?" Jin Guo asked.
Uncle Li frowned and asked, "Are you sure there is only one 'friend' here?" β
The three of them were stunned after hearing this, what does this mean?!
"Uncle, you mean, there is more than one here?" Li Bai couldn't believe it.
"I don't know how many, but there must be more than one." Uncle Li said affirmatively.
"It's over, we're in a haunted house." Li Bai leaned back in frustration and lay on the bed.
"Young man, this is scared?" Uncle Li smiled.
Li Bai sat up and said helplessly: "It's false to say that I'm not afraid, who asked me to summon ghosts, they all came at me, you definitely don't have to worry." β
Uncle Li laughed after hearing this, and said, "Don't worry, Uncle is here." Then he stared at the compass for a moment, then walked out of the room and into the hallway. The three men followed him out.
"Uncle, is it in that room?" Jin Guo pointed to the room at the end of the hallway.
Uncle Li looked at the pointer on the compass and said, "There is indeed something there, but it's not the one just now." I'm looking for the one right now. β
The rain is still falling outside, and it hasn't abated. The four of them walked to the corner of the hallway, and suddenly there was a "squeak" sound at the corner of the stairs.
Li Bai was startled, grabbed Uncle Li's arm, and ran behind him.
Uncle Li was taken aback by Li Bai and shouted, "Why are you so shocked? I was so scared that I almost threw the compass out. β
"He's like this, he's been scared a lot more." Lei Baoquan said with a smile.
The four of them looked at it, and it turned out that the window at the corner of the staircase was not closed, and it was swaying back and forth by the wind at this time, making a "squeak" sound.
Jin Guo walked over, and just wanted to close the window, when he suddenly thought of something, and said, "When we came up last night, was this window open?" β
The other three were stunned for a moment, and then recalled that they seemed to be locked up when they came up.
"Someone opened it?" Lei Baoquan was puzzled.
"Little fatty?" Li Bai thought of the waiter downstairs.
"It can't be the one who knocked on the door, right?" Jin Guo said suddenly.
The four of them were silent for a while.
"Xiao Jin, you go down and ask that little fat man, we'll look for it here." Lei Baoquan said.
Jin Guo agreed, closed the window and went downstairs. Uncle Li held the compass and his expression was a little unpredictable.
Li Bai glanced at Uncle Li and asked, "Uncle, is that the one just now?" β
Uncle Li didn't speak, but nodded. Lei Baoquan's heart tightened and asked, "She came in from outside?" Is it a ghost or something? β
Li Bai was even more anxious and said: "What I'm wondering about now is not what she is, what I'm wondering about is why she knows my phone number." β
As Li Bai was talking, Uncle Li suddenly waved his hand to signal him to be quiet, followed the pointer on the compass, and looked upstairs.
"There's another layer up there?" Uncle Li asked.
Li Bai looked up and said, "It seems to be." β
"Let's go, go up."
There was no light upstairs, it was pitch black, and the three of them walked upstairs lightly, and Uncle Li put away the compass and walked in front.
When you go upstairs, you can't see your surroundings at all.
"Why is there no light?" When Li Bai spoke, there were echoes around him.
"Split up and look for it." Uncle Li said.
"Find? Looking for the one who just knocked on the door? Li Bai asked.
Uncle Li didn't respond, and went straight inside. Lei Baoquan patted Li Bai with a smile and said, "What are you afraid of?" Isn't there Uncle Li? After speaking, Lei Baoquan walked in another direction.
Li Bai stood in place, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards Uncle Li.
"Uncle, do you say that this hotel has bad feng shui or because it has died, why are there so many dirty things?" Li Bai followed behind Uncle Li, and in order to break the quiet atmosphere, he spoke.
Uncle Li walked in front slowly and said "um" softly. It was pitch black all around, and Li Bai only vaguely looked at Uncle Li's back and followed.
"Uncle, according to your experience, which one is more powerful this time or the previous ghosts?" Li Bai asked again.
Uncle Li still said "um" softly. Li Bai couldn't stand this atmosphere, touched his body, fortunately with his mobile phone, he took out his mobile phone and turned on the flash, and caught up with Uncle Li.
"Uncle, why don't you tell me a word..." Before he finished speaking, the "Uncle Li" beside him suddenly turned around, there was no trace of blood on his face, his two bulging eyes almost protruded from the entire socket, and the corners of his mouth were cracked to the root of his ears. Li Bai screamed in fright, and ran back.
After running less than ten meters, he was suddenly caught. Li Bai flew up in shock, the other party reacted quickly, and immediately dodged away, shouting: "Xiaobai, it's me!" β
Li Bai looked at it and turned out to be Lei Baoquan.
"What's wrong with you? What do you see? Seeing Li Bai so flustered, Lei Baoquan must have discovered something.
"Lee, Lee, Lee... Uncle Li, he ......," Li Bai stammered and couldn't speak.
"What's wrong with me?" Uncle Li suddenly appeared beside the two like a ghost.
"Ahh Lei Baoquan and Li Bai were so frightened that they screamed at the same time.
"Are you two fed? What's the call? Uncle Li was so shocked that he covered his ears.
Li Bai pointed at Uncle Li and said, "Uncle, your eyes just now... Mouthβ" he said, gesturing to his face.
Uncle Li looked at it inexplicably and said, "Just now? What did you do when you saw me? β
"I was walking behind you just now, and I took a picture of you with my phone..."
"Wait." Uncle Li didn't wait for Li Bai to finish speaking, and then interrupted him: "You were behind me just now?" I've always been on my own. β
Li Bai was stunned and shook his head: "Impossible, just the two of us here just now, I have been walking behind you." β
Uncle Li pointed to a door not far away and said, "I wasn't in the corridor just now, I saw that this door was open, so I went in and took a look." β
Uncle Li said it easily, but Li Bai was covered with hairs.
Who is the one I have been following just now?
