Chapter 9: Go upstairs
At that moment, Ning Qiushui felt that every cell in his body was frozen!
Thorn -
Thorn -
The sound of cold metal grinding sounded from behind him, making Ning Qiushui's scalp almost explode!
Is that...... The sound of a knife rubbing against a fork!
Right behind him!
And away from him...... Getting closer!
At the same time, the blinds in front of the end were blown open violently!
The icy wind, wrapped in a strong smell of blood, constantly stimulated Ning Qiushui's nasal cavity and lungs!
Fear...... Spread all over the body!
He......
Are you going to die?
At that moment, an indescribable fear came like a tide, wanting to drown Ning Qiushui in it!
He raised his hand and subconsciously wanted to turn on the light!
Light...... He needs light!
Only light can dispel this terrible darkness!
But just when Ning Qiushui's hand was about to press on the switch of the light, he stopped abruptly!
In his mind, part of the mysterious letter he had received earlier suddenly appeared-
…
【…】
[The wind doesn't light the lamp, the rain doesn't light the candle]
[Don't climb the stairs during the day, don't look at the night]
…
- The wind does not light the lamp.
Ning Qiushui gritted his teeth, stubbornly resisted the indescribable fear in his heart, and didn't turn on the light!
He withdrew his hand and walked towards the front of the corridor step by step, against the cold, blood-smelling wind!
The terrible sound of metal grinding seemed to be in his ears, constantly stimulating his nerves.
It's like something behind him that can stab a sharp knife and fork into his body and chop him up anytime and anywhere!
Ning Qiushui took a deep breath, stiffened his head, clenched his fists, ignored the terrifying sound of metal friction behind him, and moved forward step by step!
He's gambling.
Bet that you didn't trigger the death condition, the thing behind you...... Can't make a move on him!
One-step......
Two-step ......
At this moment, Ning Qiushui felt his adrenaline soaring to the extreme.
Every step he takes is a severe test for his psychology!
But he didn't dare to run, and he couldn't run.
The oncoming wind is so cold that it seems to penetrate through the skin and directly into the muscles and bone marrow...... He stiffened.
Fortunately...... Ning Qiushui was right.
The terrifying thing behind him seemed to be blocked by something, unable to hurt him, and when he came to his door with difficulty, and after holding the doorknob of the door, the sharp metal grinding sound behind him also disappeared abruptly......
The fishy wind in the corridor gradually stopped, and through the bleak moonlight, Ning Qiushui saw the shutters at the end of the corridor...... I don't know when it closed tightly.
"Is it just a hallucination......
Ning Qiushui gasped, his gaze slightly condensed.
The biting coldness behind him gradually subsided, as if something had been following him all along...... Left.
Ning Qiushui felt that his brain was blank.
He pushed the door open, only to find that his clothes were soaked with sweat.
In the dark, Liu Chengfeng's rough voice sounded, with some fear:
"Little brother, you ...... You okay? ”
Apparently, he had heard the terrifying metal grinding sound in the hallway just now!
Ning Qiushui shook his head.
"It's fine."
Liu Chengfeng walked up, groped Ning Qiushui's hand in the dark, and confirmed that Ning Qiushui had the body temperature of a living person, before he exhaled a long breath and said in admiration:
"Little brother, are you really ...... What a dick! ”
"I thought you wouldn't come back!"
"Was it in the corridor outside just now, was there a ......?"
Ning Qiushui nodded.
"It appeared."
Liu Chengfeng's eyes widened in disbelief:
"It'...... It didn't kill you? ”
Ning Qiushui was silent for a moment and said:
"It can't kill us with impunity."
"It's only after we trigger the 'death condition' that it can do something to us."
Liu Chengfeng remembered what happened before, and there were countless waves in his heart for a while!
"So...... Brother, do you know what the conditions of death are? ”
Ning Qiushui said in a low voice:
"Knowing partially."
"I've told you before."
"But those are not all the conditions for death, how many are there...... Only it knows. ”
"What we're going to do now...... It is to investigate the truth of the matter as soon as possible. ”
Liu Chengfeng's breathing voice was a little short:
"But even if we know the truth, it won't help us much, right?"
Ning Qiushui was silent for a while.
"The truth should also be accompanied by a way to deal with it."
"Remember what the man in the suit told us earlier?"
"The world behind the blood gate has more than one way to survive, which seems to be extremely dangerous, but it is not completely impossible to resist."
"Besides, the woman in the red dress warned us not to enter the third floor of the villa, which must be extremely important!"
Liu Chengfeng's eyes alternated, and finally he was ruthless, gritted his teeth and said:
"Good!"
"Little brother, when do you say you are going, I'll be with you!"
"It's a big deal to die together, and you can be regarded as having a companion!"
Ning Qiushui:
"Wait."
The two waited in the room for a long time.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that the butting sound of metal rubbing sounded in the corridor outside the door again!
Both of them knew that it was the sound of knives and forks rubbing!
The thing on the third floor...... It's down again to feed!
Even though he had been mentally prepared, Liu Chengfeng still clearly felt the countless hairs on his body standing on end, and his hands and feet couldn't stop trembling!
This time...... Who will it be?
Thorn -
Thorn -
Thorn -
As the friction sound got closer and closer, Liu Chengfeng's heart beat faster and faster.
He glanced at Ning Qiushui, who was sitting next to him, and found that ...... The other party actually drank tea.
Liu Chengfeng was stunned.
Subsequently, he once again sincerely admired the psychological quality of the other party.
"Little brother, in this case, you can still drink tea leisurely...... You're probably the first one I've ever seen! ”
Liu Chengfeng lowered his voice extremely low.
Ning Qiushui put down the teacup.
"I'm nervous too."
"But different people behave differently when they are nervous."
"When I'm nervous, I like to eat or drink."
He said this, but his voice was so steady that he could barely hear any tremors.
Outside the door,
The terrifying voice still stopped in front of them first.
The sound of knives and forks rubbing against each other sounded over and over again, as if a hungry demon was standing at their door, salivating at them......
Liu Chengfeng felt that he was very unproductive, but a lot of sweat did ooze from his palms.
He was really scared.
I was afraid that the terrible thing outside the door suddenly rushed in......
But fortunately, what he imagined did not happen.
The ghost paused for a moment at their door, and seemed to find it impossible to strike at them, so it turned its attention to another room.
This time......
It's exactly the same as last night.
The voice...... Disappeared outside the next door.
After about five minutes, Ning Qiushui, who was sticking to the door, still didn't hear the sound, so he slowly pushed the door open a small gap.
After Ning Qiushui observed for a while, he pushed the crack in the door wider, poked out half of his head, and looked left and right in the dark and dead corridor.
There was nothing in the hallway except the shutters that were opened at the end and the cold wind that whistled by.
"It's now, let's go!"
Ning Qiushui beckoned to Liu Chengfeng, and the two tiptoed out the door, cautiously sneaking in the dark, and walking towards the entrance of the building......
