Chapter 5: A Cold Smile

The dark night is like a cloak, wrapping my body, only the moon that reflects the sun's brilliance is like a spotlight on the stage, dispelling the darkness so that I have nowhere to hide, this sticky moonlight, whether I am fast or slow, follows me closely, making me the brightest star on the road of claustrophobic fear and loneliness.

Moonlight panicked, this is true, this moon is like a grudge against me, no matter where I go, it has been shining on me, this is good, the surrounding environment looks more dark and permeable, and the occasional rustling sound from the dead grass makes me extremely nervous.

If a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it was the most frightening, and my mind started to think again, really, I found that the more I tried to control my brain, the more I couldn't control it, and it would instinctively give orders to my body, which in a modern phrase is "My brain has its own thoughts." ”

I can't help but smile bitterly, this is why some specific professions need to be cultivated from an early age, because children are young and do not accept the messy and useful information from the outside world, so they do not hesitate to do things.

Most people, who have been exposed to new things since childhood, have been exposed to a lot of miscellaneous things, and when you need to be calm to judge and think about something, they will constantly jump out to interfere with your thinking and make you fall into trouble.

My mind was spinning, but fortunately my steps didn't stop, and while I was thinking, I realized that I had reached my destination, which is not quite accurate, because I had only reached 43 Yinming Road.

Sure enough, there was no No. 44 Yinming Road at all, and I looked at this small second-floor with No. 43 Yinming Road, the wall tiles were gray and white by the moonlight. Along the way, the small second floors are all whitewashed adobe buildings, but this one is different, its perimeter is covered with neat white ceramic exterior tiles, which is too strange.

I looked back at the small second floor closest to me on the road I had walked before, and yes, the material was completely different. Suddenly, as far as my eyes could see, a figure flashed into the darkness, my body was like an electric shock, and instantly there were goosebumps, the Adam's apple rolled, I swallowed, and suddenly felt a chill in my back.

No way... Could it be... Behind me...

I don't dare to think about it anymore, today is definitely the worst day of my life.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, let's go!" I muttered to myself and threw a punch back that unexpectedly smashed into the air, leaving me with nothing but darkness behind me.

It seems to be a false alarm, I let out a long breath, I don't know if I was too frightened today, I actually felt a little stimulated, I don't know if it was a precursor to mental illness.

I looked at my phone, it was already past ten o'clock, it was too bad, it was more than the agreed time, and now I have no time to hesitate and think about it, so I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, push the door and try it.

What is incompatible with the wall is that this door is actually a wooden door, and it feels very thick to the touch, there is no cat's eye on the door and there is no doorknob, it is impossible to pull it out, I can only push the door inside.

I tried to push the door, but it didn't move, because it was too heavy? I pushed the door with both hands, but there was no response, I was a little angry, and I pushed the door with all the strength of my shoulders and body, but the door was like it was rooted, and I couldn't push it in at all.

Damn, play with me? I took a few steps back, ready to rush over for a flying kick, and just as I was about to rush back, the door suddenly slapped down on me from above, like a drawbridge in a European castle.

I opened my mouth wide open, and it was... It's incredible, it's the first time I've seen a real drawbridge door, and the inside of this door is pulled by a huge chain on the left and right sides, and there must be a mechanism inside this door, which can pull up or down the kind of joystick-like switch of this suspension bridge door? I can't describe it, it's weird.

If this is the case, such a door can only be opened or closed when there is an occupant in the house, so does the owner of the house never go out? Or is there more than one person in the room?

My eyebrows are furrowed, I haven't walked in for a long time, anyway, it's already past the agreed time, and I don't care if it's more than a few minutes, from the door opening to the full landing, because there is the sound of the mechanism operating, so I can't hear any movement in the house at all, and after the door lands to the ground, it's about two minutes now, and I haven't heard any sound, which is very strange, could it be that the switch of this door is far away from this door, so the person who opened the door has enough distance and time to leave after opening the door for me, And won't I hear it?

Looking at the inside of the black hole, I swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, to enter, or not to enter?

I've already made it here, there's no reason not to go in, and I'm in my current situation... It can be said that there is no way to go back, if I really take over the live broadcast job they gave me, I can save my family, according to what they said, I can also get a bonus of 10,000 yuan for a live broadcast, so to speak, I have no reason to refuse, I am too short of money.

I made up my mind to pay off my credit card, I quit my job, and with a little calm, I turned on the flash of my phone, and with the white light of my phone, I stepped into this strange two-story building.

When I fully walked into the house, the door was lifted without warning, and it closed heavily, and I was instantly stunned, your uncle! This is to seal my way out, is this bullshit company sick!

The air freshener in the room and the smell of moldy wood objects mixed together to impact my sense of smell, I felt dizzy after inhaling, this smell, shouldn't it be toxic, I covered my mouth and nose with the neckline of my clothes, and pointed the light of my mobile phone at the wall on the side of the door, I remember this kind of door switch, it should be nearby, you must find it, you can escape if you find it, it doesn't matter what the hell is live or whatever, it matters to save your life first, and I silently recited a few words in my heart, "I'm sorry Mom and Dad." ”

However, things were not as simple as I thought, I didn't find the mechanism I imagined, but instead I saw something like a light switch, this thing, it can't really be turned on the light, right?

I can't help it, just press it and see.

"Bang" The whole room is illuminated by snow-white lights, I am really speechless, because this lamp is still a gorgeous ceiling lamp, the decoration style of this room is really weird, a large solid wood table, a few plastic chairs, a cup with Peppa Pig printed on the table, and even a dungeon and warrior figure.

I can't imagine what kind of guy the owner of this room is.

"Hey, hey, hey! How did you turn on the light, do you know how much electricity this light consumes?! And why don't you go from the side door, you have to go to the front door, this door is very easy to wear, it took a lot of time to repair the door last time, and also, do you know what time it is, why are you not punctual at all, I don't like employees who are not punctual at work! "Woman, it was a young woman who said this, and by the light I saw that there was a staircase going down directly from the door, and the door at the top of the staircase was open, and the sound was made by the woman standing at the top of the staircase.

Of course, this was all seen when I was so frightened that I was lying on the big hanging door.

After a while, my mood seemed to calm down, and after knowing that she was a person and not a ghost, I suddenly calmed down, and I thought it was a little funny to look at the objects in the room and the angry waist of this woman when she spoke.

"Hey, what are you smirking at there, hurry down for an interview, you are overtime, do you know, you always overtime when you go out on dates with beautiful women? You can't fall in love like this, ah, you're a bachelor, no wonder. The woman was chattering, and there was no fear at all.

Wait, no" Hey, that text message, you sent it to me, right?" "I put away my smile and put on a serious face, interviews and everything are secondary, my main purpose here is to save my parents.

The woman smiled at me and said, "That's right, I'm the one who sent the text message or something." ”

"In other words, my parents were also kidnapped by you, right?" My expression was gloomy, and my tone was cold without a hint of warmth.

"I don't know about that kind of thing, come down for an interview, maybe you'll know the answer you want." When the woman said this, she walked in the door without looking back.

My fists creaked, this guy, what did she think of human life, and how did she do it, how did she kidnap my family silently, and how did she erase the traces of my family's existence? Is this really something that human beings can do?

I don't seem to have a choice but to do so. The creaking sound of shoes stepping on the wooden stairs made people listen to the scalp tingling, the more down the road, the more oppressive and dull the air became, quiet, except for the creaking sound of the stairs, there was no other sound, perhaps because of the environment, I began to inadvertently control my breathing, quiet, too quiet, I could hear my own heartbeat.

I tried not to think about it, and walked briskly down into the room at the end of the stairs, where the light was on, but it was not only much dimer than the ceiling lamp outside, but it also looked too rudimentary, just an incandescent light bulb.

The room was small, except for a square table of the kind common in small taverns, two round chairs with simple shapes, and no other furniture.

Actually, I should call her a girl, because she doesn't look very old, only about 16 or 7, with a playful and cute face, wearing a nose ring and earrings, but her hair is combed into a double ponytail, wearing a large white shirt with sleeves rolled up, revealing a pair of fair and slender legs under the shirt, probably because the shirt is too big, covering the shorts she is wearing, and looking down, she only wears a pair of slippers, and her red toenails look cute.

As I observed her appearance, she said in a somewhat displeased tone, "Hey, what are you looking at, pervert?" How could you look at the cute girl you met for the first time with such obscene eyes? By the way, do you think I'm cute? ”

I coughed lightly, sat down on the stool in front of her, calmed down and said, "Who are you?" Why? ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I thought you were going to say something, but shouldn't people who meet for the first time tell each other their names?" Okay, let me say it first, you can call me "super invincible, cute, sexy and charming Linlin", if you are troublesome, you can call me Linlin directly. ”

The black line in my head... After thinking for a while, he said, "My name is Du Xin, so, can you answer my question now?" ”

Linlin patted her hair, pouted and said, "Why are you so boring, I am Linlin, Linlin is me, as for why I did this, you shouldn't know very well, of course, it's to provide you with a job." ”

"Offer a job? Then why are you kidnapping my family?! Also, I didn't send my resume to your company, let alone agree to come for an interview, why did you do that?! I jerked to my feet and slammed the table in rage.

She wasn't angry at all, she smiled and said, "I can do what I want, and you're not short of money, aren't you?" Also, I can't provide you with all the equipment and props you need as a streamer for free, right? I'm not interested in money, I'm interested in what you cherish the most in your heart. ”

What she said made me creep, what the hell is she, no, she's definitely not human, she must be a monster, yes, she's a monster.

My body couldn't help but retreat, and I couldn't stop shivering with a chill, but she stood up with a smile, and used her snow-white beautiful legs to get closer to me little by little, approaching me, and the "popping" sound of the plastic slippers pressing against the floor was like the sound of the noose on my neck tightening the flesh.

"What the hell are you going to do?" My body trembled and my voice trembled. She still kept smiling, pressing me step by step, she stopped when she was two steps away from me, stretched out her slender fingers to pick up my chin, her fingers were cold and warm, like the fingers of a dead man, she said to me softly, "How stupid are you, didn't I just say it, I'm here to provide you with a job." ”

She tilted her head slightly, bared her white teeth and smiled at me, "You look so cute when you're scared, what should I do, I like you a little, but rules are rules." She turned around gorgeously in front of me, sat back in her previous position, patted the table lightly with her palm, and said, "Come and sit down, even if you like you a little, you can't skip the interview stage and break the rules, but it's not okay." ”

Listening to her words, my mind was a little dizzy, my fear dissipated, and my body couldn't help but walk towards her, step by step...
