I remember the rules carved into the walls of my room.

Among them, there is a clear statement that you can't let yourself be idle.

Originally, I didn't take this rule seriously at first, and it may have been some brainless and misleading rules.

But now it seems that if he really didn't take this rule seriously, he would really give away his life.

[Try not to let yourself feel lonely, try to find something to do, find a little fun, in short, don't feel lonely.] 】

But I didn't feel lonely at all just now, I just felt a little tired.

Could it be that this thing is so blind to judgment?

Xie Chen took a deep breath and immediately got up and left the computer desk, but this time he didn't continue to entangle with the computer.

It's already dead anyway, so let it go.

It's better to look for the problem in a different direction than to go around in circles.

Xie Chen stretched and got up slowly, but suddenly there was a particularly obvious footstep sound by the stairs.

Xie Chen quickly slowed down his pace again, and even stopped completely, listening intently to the sound coming from the staircase.

But as he stopped, the sound disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared.

Xie Chen's eyes rolled, and he muttered in his heart.

"This girl, is she playing hide and seek with herself?"

It's a pity that not long after thinking about it, the footsteps sounded again, and I saw that the sound was gradually approaching the staircase, and it was even about to appear.

But it suddenly stopped, and did not continue to move forward.

Xie Chen was a little unhappy, he had already prepared all the knives, just waiting for this thing hidden at home to appear, but this guy was like a bug himself, and he refused to show his last face.

Xie Chen took a deep breath, tried to relax himself, and didn't pay attention to the movement on the other side of the stairs, and temporarily took a few steps forward.

After all, it may be that he has stopped moving, and he will wonder if he has discovered it.

This is also possible.

Sure enough, after walking along with me, there was indeed another sound at the staircase.

But it wasn't the footsteps I wanted to hear, but a loud shout.

"Hey! Xie Chen, where did you die again? ”

Xie Chen was startled, because the voice seemed to be said by his mother.

It can't be said that it's just like it, but it's exactly the same, there is no difference.

Xie Chen didn't care about any fishing, so he quickly took a knife and rushed towards the staircase.

I'm afraid that my mother will also be involved in this strange world!

Isn't that an impure clown?

How can I live in this, and my sister is afraid that she will be taken in.

But as soon as he ran to the staircase, he found that there was not even a figure in the narrow corridor.

The voice that was so loud just now was definitely not shouted from the middle of the road, but it started to shout almost at the top of the stairs, so it had that volume.

But now that he has arrived here at such a fast speed, he has not even seen half a figure, and the development of things is not so outrageous.

This reminded me of the black shadow I had seen on the second floor earlier, and it was so fast that it could only be barely spotted by turning his head quickly from the corner of his eye.

If that thing is shouting its own, the voice is a little wrong.

"No, no, no......"

Xie Chen covered his head and shook his head, it can't be said that it is a little wrong, but it is not right at all.

It's not in the same tone at all, it's not comparable at all.

Xie Chen eased his emotions, leaned on the side of the corridor with one hand, did not put down the knife he was holding in his hand, and kept looking up.

But this time it wasn't so lucky, I didn't catch a glimpse of anything out of the corner of my eye, and the whole corridor was empty.

Xie Chen held back his resentment, but there was nowhere to release it, this feeling really made people feel a little uncomfortable.

But even if you have to go upstairs to check, just looking at the appearance of this staircase already makes you feel a little fed.

It's not something people want to go away from at all.

After much thought, I decided to go back upstairs with great difficulty, but as soon as I stepped up the stairs of the first step, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Xie Chen frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.

The knock was so soft that it looked like something was hitting a plank.

"Is it a knock or a knock?"

Xie Chen only had such a doubt in his heart, and then took two steps up, his entire waist was half-bent.

But the further I went, the smaller the sound came, and I realized that the sound was coming from the gate on the first floor, not from the second floor.

Xie Chen hurriedly made a reluctant turn in this narrow corridor, and then slowly walked towards the first floor.

Fortunately, after such a time-wasting process in the middle, this voice still exists, and it seems to be very patient.

But I wasn't so excited, which wasn't good news for me.

It's been said in the rules for a long time.

[At least today, no one will come to visit you, if someone knocks on the door of your house, it is best not to open the door for him, after all, it is now home alone, and it is important to pay attention to safety. 】

Now someone outside was knocking on the door of the east house, and if it wasn't anyone else, I guessed that it was more likely that it was the original owner of the wooden house.

But this guess contradicts the photo on the computer.

In fact, it is not necessarily contradictory.

If the leg in that photo is not the owner's child, then there is no conflict.

It is likely that the person knocking on the door outside is the original owner of the wooden house.

But if the leg in the photo is the child in the house who is still in elementary school, then it may be an adult who has not been killed yet, or someone else......

I'm not sure.

What I'm not sure is what kind of role I'm playing in this quest, if I'm the owner of the cabin in this quest.

The one who is knocking on the door outside now could also be someone else.

The meaning of the photo sent to me may also change.

If that kid was his own son, the reason why he would have posted that photo was to get a ransom for himself or something.

Of course, this is just speculation......

Xie Chen slowly came to the door that kept ringing, as if there was some pattern.

There was even a bit of rhythm when there was a knock on the door outside.

Xie Chen held the knife in his hand and stared vigilantly.
