I was so scared that I didn't even dare to breathe.

I felt my heart pounding and I was desperately holding my breath. The only thing I can do now is hold on to the knife that I had prepared under the pillow.

This feeling made me have nightmares for a long time to come.

After waiting for a long time, the shadow of those feet finally receded, and I heard footsteps clearly. The footsteps were very light, but the room was so quiet that I could still hear it clearly.

I know he must still be in the living room. I didn't dare to move, I didn't know what he was doing outside now, and I didn't know when he came in. In this case, I can't even call 110 from my phone.

Suddenly, I remembered the captain of the police station, and I immediately took out my phone and sent him a text message with only five words: "I have someone at home!" ”

But after sending it, I realized that it was impossible for the police officer to look at the phone at this time. But I waited with a glimmer of hope. I waited in fear as I felt sleepiness keep coming, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep before I knew it.

When I woke up, it was already past seven o'clock in the morning, I jumped up from the bed, held the knife, slowly pushed open the bedroom door, and searched corner by corner, and sure enough, I couldn't find anyone anywhere.

Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a knock on my door, and I was startled, and I quickly ran to the door and saw that it was Captain Lin.

When I saw him, I suddenly felt a burst of relaxation in my heart, and immediately opened the door.

Captain Lin's expression was a little serious, and as soon as he came in, he looked around my house vigilantly, and I quickly told him, "I've checked, and the person is no longer there." ”

But he ignored me, continued to check around, and after turning around, he said to me, "Don't you know that texting can also call the police?" ”

Seeing that I was stunned, he preached to me: "12110, this is the national SMS alarm number." Add the last three digits of the area code to the end, and the next time you encounter this kind of thing, you will directly call the police with text messages. ”

I nodded sluggishly, and Captain Lin sat down, and I quickly handed him a cigarette, and then immediately told him about last night's events.

After hearing this, he pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that you can no longer live in this place. ”

I was surprised: "What? So where do I go? ”

"Move out for the time being, go to your relatives and friends' houses, or anywhere."

I scratched my head, and before I could speak, he said to me again, "Also, you don't go to work just yet, it may be dangerous for you." You'd better find a place to stay for a while. ”

I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and I couldn't help but say, "Captain Lin...... Didn't you say yesterday that you should just stay home and leave it alone? Actually, could you tell me something about it so I could understand what was going on......"

Captain Lin was a little impatient, and immediately interrupted me and said, "It's useless if you know some things, just do what I say." ”

"That'...... Is it safe for me to move out? I asked worriedly.

"It's hard to say, but at least it's better than you staying at home." With that, he put out the cigarette in the ashtray, turned his head and left.

I was extremely unhappy, and now it seems that it is useless to find the police for these things, and he didn't help at all, but he couldn't even guarantee my personal safety, and just said that I should move out, which is too irresponsible. If you don't let me go to work, what do I eat and drink when I don't go to work?

I suddenly felt a sense of resistance in my heart, since the police couldn't help me, then I would solve it myself.

After making a decision, I went to work, I worked a little late that day, and after I came out in the evening, I had dinner with my colleagues and went home at eight o'clock. As soon as I got home, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw that everything was normal.

After sitting down on the sofa, I felt uneasy when I thought back to what the policeman had said during the day. After all, he said that, and he knows some inside story, if I insist on doing this, will something really happen?

I turned on the TV and turned the volume up as loud as I could, so I didn't think about the things that scared me. I watched until it was dark, and suddenly I heard a creepy laugh outside.

In the evening, the people who listened to this sound were chilling to the bone, and I immediately snorted.

The sound became more and more permeating and terrifying, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, and it was extremely weird.

I turned off the sound of the TV, listened carefully, and felt that the sound was coming from downstairs, and immediately walked to the window to look down, the light in the community was very dim, and there was a faint figure in the flower bed downstairs, running back and forth.

It's a madman.

Outside the flower bed, many people gathered around to watch the excitement, and no one approached.

I hesitated, and then I felt the urge to go down and take a look, so I went out and took the elevator downstairs.

When I went downstairs, I could see the man's face clearly, it was a young looking boy, and he was very cleanly dressed, the only difference was that he was wearing too thick, it was summer, but he was wearing a thick cotton jacket and cotton pants, which looked very weird.

He kept running around there, as if he was hiding from someone, and at the same time kept screaming and crying, and seeing this scene at night was extremely permeating. None of the people around dared to approach.

"This is the son of the old Liu family, called Liu Xian." Suddenly, a voice next to me said to me, and I turned my head to see that it was my neighbor, Mr. Gao.

I remembered that he was the president of our owners' committee, so he was very familiar with the things in the community. He said that Lao Liu is a resident on the first floor of our unit, he is a warm person, and everyone in the community knows him, but his son is going to college outside and has never seen him.

"Teacher Gao, you're down too," I said hello, and then asked, "How did Lao Liu's son become like this?" ”

"No one knows," he said lightly, staring at the madman in the distance, "half a month ago, the school suddenly contacted him and said that his son was missing. A few days later, the police found him in an abandoned factory, and by the time they found him, it was already like this. ”

No wonder I haven't seen Lao Liu for a while. It turned out that this kind of thing happened, taking care of this crazy son at home.

I said, "How can this be, is the police investigation clear?" ”

"No, now the police don't have any clues, no one knows what happened, everything is a mystery." Teacher Gao shook his head, and then suddenly asked me again, "Can you do me a favor?" ”

I was stunned and asked what was the matter. He said, "Come." ”

Then he stepped over the railing of the flower bed and walked towards the madman.
