global pollution

Opening the closet, there was a row of clothes neatly hung inside, ranging from light long skirts to down jackets. Xia Ren's heart moved, and he opened a small drawer on the lower left. There were indeed more than half of the drawer's underwear stacked inside.

"It's not littering like my sister."

With this thought, Xia Ren scratched his head in doubt.

"I have a sister?"

This question also has no answer.

Zhao Mingyue lived a delicate life and liked to clean. The quilt on the bed was as soft as if it had just been dried out. When she put her hand in, there was still a slight warmth inside, as if the owner had just gone out temporarily.

He picked up the pillow and sniffed lightly at the tip of his nose, it was the same scent as he smelled on Zhao Mingyue.

She slept here not long ago.

But how is it possible?

Although no one lived there for a long time

This sentence was said by Zhao Mingyue herself, but all the signs in the house showed that she had been living here, even until today.

"Did she lie, or..."

Xia Ren would rather be Zhao Mingyue who lied.

Because another possibility is...she doesn't exist!

Xia Ren was frightened by his sudden idea, maybe because of panic, or maybe to verify the authenticity of the idea, he went to the next room and opened the door.

Unexpectedly, this room is not a second bedroom, but a study room. There is a row of bookshelves against the wall, with all kinds of books scattered here and there. Next to the bookshelves is a desk with a desktop computer on it. Sitting on the chair, he tried it, and it turned on without a password.

The study was also very clean.

Click on the system update, and the last inspection time displayed is December 18, which is half a year ago.

winter.

"Zhao Mingyue went out in winter. After she left, for some reason, the time here stopped?"

Although it is a bit of a fantasy, if you think about it this way, everything can be explained logically. The cold wind when the door was just opened and the remaining cold air in the house are the temperature of that winter. The cleanliness of the room is because time has not passed at all. These clothes were not taken away, it may be that Zhao Mingyue did not expect that they would not be able to return.

Her skin was strangely white, she didn't shake hands with her, and she left in a hurry after handing over the key.

So to say,

her identity.

"Regardless of whether my guess is correct or not, I must leave immediately!"

I have read many ghost stories since I was a child, and the part about water ghosts is very clear now. In my impression, they just lure strangers here, and then they get relief.

It was nearly seven o'clock now, and it was completely dark outside without realizing it.

Darkness can always aggravate the fear in people's hearts, Xia Ren opened the door and walked out quickly as if fleeing for his life.

As soon as I came out, I could feel the stuffy air outside.

Because the community is relatively old, there are no stairs, so he can only climb stairs to go up and down.

The corridor was pitch black, and you could hardly see your fingers. The voice-activated light seemed to be broken. Xia Ren clapped his palms, but there was no response.

He could only take out his mobile phone, relying on the faint light on the screen, he leaned on the railing and went downstairs.

I don't know if I'm afraid of something, the doors of other residents are tightly closed along the way, and there is no sound coming from inside, and the entire corridor is deadly silent.

Finally arrived at the corner of the second floor, and Xia Ren would be able to get rid of this place by going down one floor soon, but at this moment, a cloudy wind suddenly blew, and the originally broken lights suddenly turned on downstairs.

At the same time, there was the sound of knocking on the door.

His heart tightened, and a bad premonition arose, Xia Ren stopped, stretched his head, and observed the scene below through the gap in the stairs.

The dim light illuminated the corridor on the first floor, and a white-haired figure was standing in front of the door, raising his hand, knocking on the door once and again.

Xia Ren felt that this figure was somewhat familiar, and after careful reflection, he realized that this old lady was actually a neighbor who lived across the door that he had seen not long ago.

"But doesn't she live on the fifth floor? Visiting at this time?"

Feeling that the situation was not right, he did not rush down, but chose to continue to observe.

No matter how hard the old lady knocked on the door, there was no response. Her stooped body then bent even deeper, her cloudy eyes stuck to the door, looking through the cat's eyes to see if there was anyone inside.

After failing, she turned around slowly and walked towards another door.

No, it's floating away!

Xia Ren's heart was pounding, he clearly saw that the old lady's legs were not moving, but her whole body was moving!

She went to another door, and then repeated the behavior just now.

No wonder all the residents do not open their doors at night, because they dare not!

"What should I do, rush down at this time?"

Xia Ren immediately rejected this plan.

There is an unknown danger upstairs, and Zhao Mingyue's identity, in the final analysis, has always been his own guess, so it may not necessarily harm him, but the old lady at this moment is the real deal!

Without giving him much time to hesitate, the old lady had already given up on the residents on the first floor and turned her way up!

"You must run, you must not be caught by her!"

Xia Ren no longer struggled, turned around and rushed upstairs.

When he ran to the third floor, he saw that the lights on the second floor were also on, but there was no knock on the door.

"Is she chasing me? She has already noticed my existence!"

Not daring to stop for a moment, Xia Ren groped for the railing, ran to the fifth floor as fast as he could, took out the key, opened the door and hid in.

He sat slumped in the porch, gasping for breath.

What he didn't notice was that in the oil painting hanging on the wall next to him, a pair of eyes appeared in the cabin hidden among the trees, watching him quietly from behind.

Chapter 3 Tentacles!

After a while, there was still no movement outside the door, it seems that the old lady did not follow.

"Escaped."
