Chapter 14: Hanging
Next door to me.
I took a few steps back and looked up to see a blue sign nailed to the wall at the very top of the door frame that read: 803.
And at the top of the door frame next to me is clearly written: 804.
Because the house number is rarely used now, since I moved here, when I said the address, I reported the direction, the southwest of the eighth floor, so that I have no impression of this own number at all.
In other words, the place that the text message said and the woman on the phone told me to go was actually next door to me.
Of course, it is not excluded that it is another building or even another community, but such a coincidence makes me think that she should be referring to my next door.
But I had already been there next door yesterday, and what I saw in it still haunted me.
I don't know who wrote the warning in it, but I subconsciously felt that I should trust the person who wrote the warning.
In other words, I suspect that this woman who called and texted me was actually trying to harm me.
Thinking of this, I don't plan to go over.
Besides, I closed the door again when I left yesterday, and now I have to find someone to unlock it if I want to go in again. Forget it.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and I was feeling a little tired, so I was going to go to bed early, but then I suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.
When I heard it carefully, I was sure that it was knocking on my door, and I thought that it was probably Mr. Gao, and no one else would come to me at this point.
Suddenly came to me so late, is there any new clue? I quickly put on my shoes and walked out, but when I got to the door, the knocking stopped, and I was a little strange, looking out of the cat's eye, there was no one outside.
I gasped and felt a little weird, but I had enough strange things to do, so I just ignored it and turned around to go back to the bedroom. But at that moment, I saw a masked man standing in front of me.
He had an axe in his hand. It's less than three meters away from me.
The man in front of him was wearing a crow mask that covered his entire face and was dressed in black. And wearing gloves, the whole person is completely covered.
Beads of sweat began to appear on the top of my head.
In the two seconds we looked at each other, my mind went completely blank, and before my head could get back up and running, he raised his axe and slashed at me.
I didn't have time to open the door and run away, I subconsciously flashed, and then got under his arm, he turned and continued to walk towards me, I grabbed the glass on the coffee table and threw it at him, the teacup didn't hit, and shattered on the wall.
I immediately smashed another one, this time exploding right above his head with a terrifying shattering thud, and I thought it was strong enough.
But I didn't expect him to continue walking towards me without moving. It was as if I had no effect on him at all.
Such a compelling momentum made me feel great horror, and at this time I threw everything I could throw, and I couldn't help but step back step by step. I felt a pang of despair in my heart.
Am I going to die here like this?
The masked man raised his axe and slashed at me again, and I suddenly noticed that his movements were stiff, like a robot, or rather, as if ...... A zombie.
I dodged again, and this time I didn't hesitate, rushing all the way to the door, unlocking it as fast as I could in my life, and rushing out.
I rushed all the way down the stairs, and when I rushed outside, I saw a security guard walking towards me, I immediately grabbed him, panted and said, "Hurry, hurry...... Come with me. ”
I talked incoherently about someone in the house who was trying to kill me, and then dragged him upstairs, and when I went upstairs, I saw that my door was still open, so I didn't dare to go in, and the security guard walked over with an electric baton, first looked inside, and then walked straight around, and after a while he came out and asked suspiciously, "Where is the person you are talking about?" ”
I was stunned, so I hurriedly walked into the house and looked everywhere, but there was no one anywhere.
Another hallucination?
The security guard looked at me like a psychopath, and I was at a loss for words.
Naturally, there is no way he can leave this building, so where the hell is he now?
It kept me tumbling all night, and I locked all the doors behind me. Hold the kitchen knife under the pillow tightly until dawn, and then fall asleep.
Nothing else happened until noon the next day, when the phone rang again.
I was woken up by it, and my head suddenly moved, and I turned on the recording function of my phone and put it aside.
"Why haven't you come yet?" After connecting, the woman's voice was heard again. I immediately turned on the hands-free.
I made up my mind and said, "I've already come." Didn't see you. ”
"Why haven't you come yet?" The woman asked again.
I was stunned, not knowing what she was trying to say, so I immediately asked, "I've already been here, where are you?" ”
"Today is the last day, and if you don't come again, you won't have a chance."
Her tone seemed calm, as if she didn't care what I said, and before I could answer, she was already hanging.
I thought to myself, she said this, is this 804 really not my next door?
I don't think it's likely, there shouldn't be such a coincidence.
But in addition to that, there was another thing that caught my attention, and that was that this woman spoke like a robot, without emotion, as if she was not talking to anyone at all, but talking to herself.
Most importantly, every response she gave had nothing to do with my words and was repeated like a machine.
In other words, it's like a pre-recorded sound.
When I thought about these clueless things, I realized that the morning had passed, and Zhang Yi had not called me when he returned to the present, and he had already opened the door at this point. I felt a little strange in my heart, and I called him to ask him if the computer had been repaired, but no one answered after calling.
I felt that something was wrong, so I called a few more times, but no one answered. I thought I shouldn't, so I decided to just go to his shop and look for him.
So I went straight to his store, through the dirty and noisy corridors of the computer city, and I didn't see him in his store, but the security door wasn't closed. So I asked the owner of the store next door, and he replied that he hadn't opened this morning.
I'm a little strange, where did this guy go? The door to the back room was closed, I went over and knocked on the door twice and no one paid attention, I tried to push it, but it was not locked, so I pushed the door open and went in.
There was no light on in the room, and there was still a musty smell, and I couldn't help coughing, wondering if he was still there or asleep.
But then I could see in the darkness that there seemed to be a figure hanging from the ceiling of this room, and a man in a hoodie swaying slightly.
I immediately turned on the light, and the tube flickered and suddenly lit up—
Hanging from the room was none other than my old classmate.
