Chapter 28: Facing Fear
"Hiding here?"
"Well, hide in the cupboard, it's a big place here." The boy struggled to lift the clothes that were pressed on his body, and his skin was covered with a red rash: "I won't hurt you, this cabinet can hide a lot of people." ”
There was a strange sound coming from the closet behind the boy, as if it was a suppressed cry for help, Zhu Miaomiao was very worried that as soon as she opened the door of another cabinet, she saw the body of her colleague folded inside.
"My dad and mom are coming, they're in a bad temper, you'd better come over quickly." The boy's voice was soft, and he never seemed to dare to speak out loud: "If my dad and mom find you, you'll be chopped up." ”
It's hard to imagine that such words as chopping would come out of a child's mouth, Zhu Miaomiao clenched the fire axe, and the only thing that could bring her a sense of security at this time was the axe in her hand.
"My dad and mom are fierce, they will destroy everything, and they will want to kill everything in the most vicious way." The boy waved his hands and gestured to Zhu Miaomiao: "They are three meters tall, Dad is very strong, Mom often picks up sharp objects, they resent each other, but their bodies are fused together, and they can't shake each other off." ”
Under the boy's description, Zhu Miaomiao couldn't help but imagine a monster.
A three-meter-tall rude male and a woman with a sharp weapon twisted together, they swayed in the hallway, constantly hunting down other colleagues.
As soon as these thoughts popped up in her mind, Zhu Miaomiao heard heavy footsteps suddenly appear in the corridor.
"Don't talk! My dad and mom are over! ”
The boy covered his mouth, and Zhu Miaomiao was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe hard.
As footsteps approached, the sound of a man and a woman arguing and insulting entered the house.
"Stinky bitch! I'm going to strangle you! ”
"Am I wrong? You are a wreck, you will only be in the nest, and you are really lucky that your son is not a seed. ”
"***, I'm going to kill you!"
All kinds of foul language can't even be listened to by Zhu Miaomiao, an adult, and it's hard to imagine their children's inner reactions every time they hear these words.
The shoes stepped on the glass shards, the woman's nails scratched the wall, and all the abnormal sounds suddenly disappeared when she passed in front of Zhu Miaomiao's door.
Her palms were full of sweat, and Zhu Miaomiao felt that the monster was just outside the door, and she raised her head.
The decorative window above the door frame was forced open by something, and a strand of hair fell into the house, Zhu Miaomiao's face turned pale with fright, and when she was almost unsteady, there was a sudden sound of the door lock being opened in the corridor.
The brunette who was about to enter the house slowly withdrew, and the monster seemed to leave.
Zhu Miaomiao didn't dare to open the door, she carefully put the fire axe flat, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, stuck the corner of the small window on the door frame, and exposed the camera.
Standing on tiptoe, Zhu Miaomiao stared at the phone screen, she just glanced at it, and her heart beat uncontrollably.
The picture on the screen is not very clear, and you can vaguely see that there is a three-meter-tall deformed man standing against the wall next to the door on the opposite side.
His arms are several times thicker than ordinary people, and there is a woman wrapped around his body, the two of them grow together, four eyes staring at the door lock that made a strange noise just now, and his eyes are vicious and vicious, which makes people feel extremely frightened!
"Monster!" The terrifying monster was almost the same as the ghost that Zhu Miaomiao had imagined herself, and it could even be said that the monster seemed to have changed according to her imagination.
Biting her lip, Zhu Miaomiao didn't make a sound, cold sweat slid down her forehead to her chin, she knew that she might meet monsters before joining the Investigation Bureau, but she didn't expect to come back so quickly this day!
Green tendons appeared on her neck, Zhu Miaomiao didn't dare to make any sound, her arms froze, she didn't dare to move at all.
The silence in the hallway remained like this for a moment, and the people hiding in the opposite room probably thought that the monster had left and wanted to check on the situation.
The doorknob slowly turned, and the old apartment door was slowly opened a crack.
The people in the house didn't know that the monster was hiding next to it, and Zhu Miaomiao's heart had already raised his throat at this time.
"It seems safe."
A familiar voice came from inside the room, it was the voice of another newcomer.
The door panel was slowly pushed open, and the face of the colleague appeared in the crack, and the terrifying monster moved its body with it, the deformed man clenched his fist, and the deformed woman clutched the sharp knife.
The cold was overwhelming, and the tip of the knife hovered above the face.
"Be careful!"
Zhu Miaomiao couldn't sit idly by, she pushed open the door at the last moment, lifted the fire axe, and reminded loudly: "The ghost is at the door!" ”
The deformed man and woman turned their heads at the same time, Zhu Miaomiao's legs were weak in fright, she didn't dare to resist at all, she couldn't have other thoughts in her head, and fear made her instinctively start to run away.
The investigator hiding in the opposite room also reacted, but by the time he tried to close the door, it was too late.
The deformed man pulled the door open, and as if drunk, he swayed, and rushed into the room in a very rough manner.
In the life of a child, a man seems to do such things all the time, and some of his habits are still in their former state.
"I'm going to hold it off! You go first! The sound of the brawny driver's voice echoed through the rental house, followed by the sound of glass shattering and heavy objects falling to the ground, and the most reliable brawny investigator seemed to be pushed downstairs.
However, when he attracts the attention of the monster, the rest of the rookie investigators and Shirahashi run out.
"Scatter and find a room to hide! Find clues and rules! The way to get out of an anomalous event is often hidden in the place where the anomalous event occurs! Shirahashi tried to calm everyone down, but the newcomers, who were carried away by fear, ignored her, and the training they had received at the Investigation Bureau had long since forgotten everything, and they rushed downstairs.
"Don't leave the site of the anomaly! Entering the fog outside the venue will make you lose yourself! Never to come back! ”
Baiqiao's reminder was useless, the rookie investigators only wanted to leave quickly, fear had already taken root in their brains, destroying their sanity.
The hallway was full of wails and footsteps, everyone was running outside the building, and the child who had been hiding in the cupboard was also mixed in with them, and the rookie investigator, who was only thinking about running for his life, didn't notice that there was another person around him.
"Come back! Don't let fear rule you! ”
Bai Qiao chased after the outside of the building, and it seemed that Zhu Miaomiao was the only one left in the building.
"What should I do?"
On the first page of the Bureau of Investigation's training code, it is written that if you are involved in an anomalous event, you must not run around, and once you get lost, you will never find your way home.
The code is very clear, but where can you hide if you don't run around?
Zhu Miaomiao looked at the opposite room in despair, the huge and terrifying monster overturned the table and wardrobe, like a tyrannical madman, and all the complete things in its hands would be destroyed.
Stepping on the blood on the ground, the deformed man slowly turned around, and he carried the deformed woman and stared at Zhu Miaomiao.
It seemed that he was the only one left in the entire building, and every nerve in Zhu Miaomiao's body trembled with fear the moment he was seen by the monster.
The monster continued to expand in her vision, and the deformed, ugly body seemed to grow from her fear.
Zhu Miaomiao seems to have returned to many years ago, her childhood self was surrounded by a fire, everything in the house was burned, smoke, flames, high temperature scorched her cheeks, and her skin continued to dry out.
"Help me, is there anyone else......"
The calloused hand was already a little unable to hold the fire axe, but Zhu Miaomiao still did not fall, she used all her strength to aim the axe blade at the monster.
"It's over, there's no way."
The monster completely occupied Zhu Miaomiao's field of vision, and indescribable despair filled his mind, Zhu Miaomiao felt that the fire axe in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and when the axe was about to fall, the sound of chains colliding with metal guardrails suddenly came from the end of the corridor.
The deformed man's head had reached in front of her eyes, but the crisp voice seemed to have a special magical power, which made Zhu Miaomiao become a little more awake, and she looked in the direction where the voice came from.
In the dark hallway, a young man without a uniform from the Investigation Bureau was rushing towards it.
His left hand was wrapped in a pitch-black chain, and there was no trace of fear in his eyes.
Stepping on the mottled wall, the young man slammed into the monster's back, his hands grasping the chains, and strangled the deformed monster's neck!
"Don't be afraid!"
Hearing the young man's voice, Zhu Miaomiao seemed to be back in a trance when she was six years old, and when the fire was about to swallow her, a firefighter broke open the door and rushed into the fire.
At the time, the firefighter seemed to have said the same thing.
