Chapter 355 Knocking on the Door and Strange Talk

Walking through the narrow and dark streets, He Ao bought a large windbreaker that covered his entire body in a small roadside shop.

Wearing a trench coat and a bowler hat, he crossed a dark and deserted alley.

He stood at the corner of the alley, looking at a small window at the end of the street from a distance.

That was Nell's 'home'.

The house was on the first floor, damp and dark, with a bad view, and the rent was relatively cheap.

There is only one bedroom and one living room in the whole house, where two adults and six children live.

When Nell was very young, he would fight with his brothers and sisters in the small room with two bunk beds.

The third brother would sit on the small cabinet in front of the window, reading a book by the dim street lamp.

The fourth brother leaned against the bed, grabbed the railing of the upper bunk, and performed a flip on the bed for the brothers and sisters.

The second sister would sit on the lower bunk, under the dim lamp, talking fiercely while mending clothes for her younger siblings.

While the elder brother was washing clothes in the bathroom, he poked his head out to remind his younger brothers and sisters to pay attention to safety.

Fifth Sister would take out a small biscuit out of nowhere and feed it to the youngest Nell.

Mother usually comes back very late, and the lights are rarely turned on at home because the electricity bill is very expensive.

In cold and windy weather like this, my mother would be careful to close the open windows.

Howo watched the window.

The third brother who was sitting by the bed reading a book seemed to raise his head and look at him.

A figure in dirty work clothes came. She leaned against the desk in front of the window, leaned slightly, stretched out her rough palm, and closed the open window with great effort.

There was rust on the window frames and it was difficult to open and close.

A gust of icy wind brushed He Ao's cheek.

The child reading by the window, the woman struggling to close the window, and the noisy figures in the room all stopped at that moment and dissipated like bubbles.

The dark street lamps illuminate the old windows, and the lonely wind walks through the silent night.

Howe's eyes rested on the open window.

An inverted 'V' symbol painted in red paint is unusually obvious.

He pressed his bowler hat and walked out of the dark alleyway.

His figure flashed past, at an extremely fast speed, like the night passing by, closing the open window.

······
In a car on the street across from the window.

"Look, was that window originally closed?"

The young man who was driving the car rubbed his eyes and pushed the co-pilot who was dozing off.

"It seems...not," the young co-pilot took a closer look, then woke up in shock, "Get out of the car, he must be back!"

-

The night shrouded the dilapidated old building, and the old elevator creaked.

"After investigation, the bombing that occurred this afternoon is most likely related to the wanted suspect Nell.

Surveillance cameras have captured a figure resembling him moving nearby. This person is extremely cunning and cruel. The FBI reminds citizens to take precautions and call the FBI for help as soon as they meet this person. "

Jon looked at the news broadcast on the wristband, then at the empty back room, and fell into a brief silence.

He turned off the wristband, did not turn on the light, and lay on the sofa.

A faint fire was burning in the coal stove.

Outside the window is the silent night, and the wind blows through the gaps in the building, bringing whistling whistling.

For some reason, Jon felt that the weather was getting colder and colder.

He turned over the coals in the stove with a small iron rod to let air into the stove and make the fire burn more vigorously.

There were silent footsteps outside the door, as if someone was walking back and forth in the corridor.

bang bang bang-

There was a soft knock on the door.

Not Jon's room, but at the other end of the corridor.

The sound was very soft, but the sound insulation of the old building where Jon lived was not very good, so he could hear it clearly from such a distance.

For some reason, Jon remembered a strange story he heard from a neighbor this morning.

Two families downstairs were missing. When they disappeared, the door was open, and nothing in the house was lost.

The neighbors downstairs said that they all heard light knocks on the door in the middle of the night, but they did not open the door, and the two missing households happened to be the two households that opened the door.

It is said that on the lower floors, residents have also disappeared in recent days.

Jon doesn't believe these stories. Although he likes to read ghost stories, it doesn't mean he really believes them.

That kind of twisted and crazy ghost will only appear in the storybook.

He raised his hand and glanced at the time on the bracelet, it was 11:50 in the evening.

The knocking on the door was still ringing, and gradually became clearer.

The knock on the door seemed to be getting closer and closer to Jon's house.

The 'visitor' seemed to just go door to door and knock on every door.

Suddenly, its knocking stopped for a moment, and then there was the creaking sound of the old anti-theft door opening, "Who is it?"

Listening to the voice is the neighbor who told Jon the strange story about knocking on the door today. Although he likes to spread the strange story, he doesn't believe it himself. He just enjoys the feeling of spreading fear.

But after the neighbor's voice only rang once, it fell silent, and it took about a minute or two.

dong dong dong-

Suddenly there was a new knock on the door.

One sound after another, getting closer and closer.

Finally, the knock on the door came outside Jon's house.

dong dong dong-

Jon got up slowly. Without speaking, he leaned against the wall slowly and opened the electronic peephole.

In fact, Jon is now more afraid of meeting another person than meeting the rumored ghost.

He is not yet ready to face the opponent head-on.

The electronic peephole opened, and a thin middle-aged man appeared on the screen.

This was the neighbor who told Jon this 'strange story'.

For some reason, Jon breathed a sigh of relief.

This neighbor enjoys frightening others, and he is capable of this kind of behavior of pretending to frighten people.

But Jon didn't expose the neighbor, but watched him quietly through the cat's eyes.

dong dong dong-

The leader slowly raised his head and knocked on the door again.
Jon remained unmoved.

The neighbor seemed a little disappointed, he didn't knock on the door again, turned around and left,
But for some reason, Jon felt that the neighbor's movements were a little stiff, and that he was a little awkward when walking.

It's like a puppet that isn't very smooth.

dong dong dong-

A new knock on the door came slowly, and it was a family next to Jon.

Jon heaved a sigh of relief, closed the electronic peephole, returned to the sofa, and sighed by the fire.

He is still a little confused.

The knocking on the door gradually stopped. It seemed that the people outside had knocked on all the doors and got no results, so they chose to give up and left the corridor.

Time passed by, and just as Jon was about to fall asleep, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Boom...Boom...Boom

John woke up from his dream.

He got up staggeringly, walked to the door, and opened the electronic peephole, but this time, the peephole did not show the appearance of the corridor, but was pitch black.

dong dong dong-

The knock on the door rang again, but the electronic peephole was still pitch black.

"Don't play this kind of tricks, everyone is resting, and you have to go to work tomorrow."

Jon sighed and patted on the door, signaling the neighbors outside to stop making trouble.

After saying this, the knock on the door fell silent,

Jon turned and was about to get back on the couch.

dong dong dong-

There was a new knock on the door.

Jon turned around angrily, and opened the door, "Are you finished?"

However, what appeared in front of him was a man wearing a bowler hat and a large trench coat.

"Nel..." Jon was taken aback, "Why are you here?"

"I got your signal."

The inverted V symbol is the code of Jorn's Nell. When they were apprentices in the restaurant, they sometimes sneaked some food, so they invented this inverted V code, which means, 'Help!help! '.

Hearing He Ao's explanation, Jon was silent for a while, and he said softly, "Go away, you are surrounded by gangs and FBI spies, you will be easily spotted."

"You probably have more than them to worry about right now."

He Ao raised his head, thick mucus fell on his face.

The twisted and crazy heads were leaning against the wall of the door of Jon's house, just a little above the door.

They are densely packed together, with their heads down, red eyes shining brightly, staring at He Ao.
