Chapter 11: The Night of the Lonely Building
The sleeping man, with his eyes half-open, looked in the direction the man pointed in a daze. At this look, he woke up in an instant, and sure enough, the black shadow took his head off his neck and put it on his hand, making it look like he was combing his hair. And then it was still lifted, dangling around.
"Ah......h
I thought it was the man from the day before who was going crazy, but when I saw that it was another man, everyone asked what was going on. When this man speaks the same tone and tells the same scene. Everyone present was silent.
If it was just that one person who said this the day before, everyone could say that he was dizzy and talking nonsense!
But today, a different person said the same thing, which had to make everyone's hearts more or less terrifying.
Most of the people who sleep in this square are men, but after all, this is a struggle against the content of the natural world that they are not familiar with, and many people have grown up listening to all kinds of horror stories, so naturally there will be bold people who don't believe it.
So, someone suggested going to the roof of the opposite building to have a look.
Some timid people are just waiting where they are. Four or five people who volunteered were ready to go.
The small building opposite, which used to be a factory, was later converted into a residence. But in that building, except for the first floor, there were no residents on the other floors. It is the only building here that has few people.
A few people found the staircase to go upstairs, and by the moonlight, they felt the darkness and went up the narrow staircase. Residents on the first floor enter and exit directly through their own small doors, and do not need to enter the interior of the building through the passageway.
The passage inside this building has a very desolate feeling. The dust fell thickly, and no one cleaned it. The wooden boxes piled up in the corner, in the dimness, looked a little scary.
Several people, in a state of blindness in the black light, stumbled and bumped. Finally, I went up to the fourth floor, and then went up the stairs to the roof balcony.
At that time, the buildings built were not very high, however, in the seventies and eighties at that time, such small buildings were already very good.
Several people stood there and stood still, and one of them said, "I will take the lead, and you will follow."
If they want to say they are afraid, in fact, they are not afraid until seeing is believing. But nervousness, there will definitely be.
So, several people, one by one, came out through the small door on the top floor.
The large platform is surrounded by this stairwell, one is two, and the side where they are is not the side that the two people saw downstairs just now, they have to come out and go around the roof of this stairwell to get to the other side.
The roof of the building is illuminated by direct moonlight and starlight, and it is much brighter than the downstairs and the passage. Everything on the big platform was clearly visible, there were some large discarded cardboard boxes, a lot of shards of wood, glass, and some garbage and dust that I don't know what to do. But overall, it's not so dirty that you can't get off your feet, and it's okay to get by.
They walked cautiously on the rooftop, for fear of touching objects that had been in the dust for a long time.
Turned around, on the other side, much cleaner. No big cardboard boxes, no thick dust. There is no dark shadow that the two men just said.
A few people stood there, talking about how the two men should have misunderstood. One of them proposed, "Why don't we go to the side and check the whole thing?"
"Okay. "Everyone agrees, check it out, and they are relieved.
At the edge of the roof, there was no guardrail like now. A small fence only half a meter high blocked it.
A young man in his twenties, walking to the corner, he had just noticed that there seemed to be some mark on the corner. When he came over, his face turned white with fright. Hurriedly shouted: "Come here, there is blood here." "Sweet potato
The few people who were scattered heard the shouts and quickly moved closer to him.
Sure enough, on the ground in the corner, the blood stains sprinkled were clearly visible.
They were all stunned, what does this mean at this moment? Could it mean that the black shadow just now really cut off his own head, leaving blood?
They didn't dare to think that everyone's hearts were no longer brave at this moment, and they were replaced by fear!
Suddenly, I don't know what the crowd downstairs saw, the people standing on the top of the building, only saw a commotion downstairs, and then people began to shout, "Run, run." ”
The people on the top of the building were already struggling with fear, and when they heard such a shout, they were forcibly brave in their hearts, and they immediately collapsed, and they all turned around and ran away!
In one breath, they ran downstairs, and all the people who had been in the square just now were gone. These people also ran back to their homes in one go, closed the door, and couldn't figure out what had just happened, and everyone spent this unquiet night in such a panic.
It wasn't until the next day, at dawn, that a lot of people gathered together and talked about what happened last night.
It turned out that the people standing downstairs saw a headless black figure behind them, waving the big knife in his hand and raising it towards them, but they didn't know it, so they shouted to them to run.
When these people heard this, they all broke out in a cold sweat, and they also told everyone about the bloodstains they had seen on the roof of the building earlier.
It's daytime, and some people say they want to go up and see it again, and even if there is anything unclean, they can't do anything to them during the day!
So, they went upstairs again, and for this place, they had to figure out what was going on. After all, this is their home, and there are dozens of households.
The roof of the building is in full view during the day.
The blood was still there in the place where it was found yesterday, but the shadow didn't know where it had gone.
"Everyone knows that kind of thing doesn't come out during the day, why don't we organize it tonight, have more people, and deal with that thing together?"
Everyone looked at each other, yes, yes, right. There is a lot of strength in people, come together at night, so you won't be afraid.
Night, again!
Because of the advance preparation, several people hid on the roof of the building early. They found some large cardboard boxes, buckled them to their bodies, and made holes in the cardboard boxes, so that they could see the situation outside, but the view was not good.
Time passed minute by minute, everyone in the big cardboard box was squatting and sweating, after all, it was summer, after all, there was no ventilation in the cardboard box. Patience is tormented in everyone's heart.
Finally, it was one o'clock in the night. The air became tense, and they knew that it would not be long before that thing would appear.
Those who are hiding hold their breath and wait......
At that moment, time seemed to pass very slowly, stagnant in the scorching air.
Suddenly, a chill, I don't know where it came from, hit the people hiding on the roof of the building, and they all involuntarily shivered......
