[Traveling] Stepfather Clearance Plan

I don't know when he left from outside the door, he didn't make a sound, neither footsteps nor breathing.I was still waiting blankly for him to continue talking. It wasn't until a moment later that I suddenly smelled a smell and realized that he was no longer behind the door.

The smell of rain that reappeared on various occasions related to Bai Jinghao.

The smell of very heavy rain was so heavy that it even gave me the illusion that even the air had become damp and cold as if it had just rained heavily.That kind of cold was sucked into my body one by one with my breathing, until my whole body was shivering with cold, and I couldn't stop no matter what.

That was the smell of Bai Jinghao.Now this smell is so strong, as if he wants to burn his whole life tonight.

The crystal that I have been holding in my hand has become very bright.White light shot through my palm, turning a blinding bright red.Liu Liu in the palm of my hand was scalding hot, I thought about what the little ghost said, but I never dared to let go.

The weird laughter suddenly stopped when it became extremely clear.Then there was a very brief thud of something bumping, like someone knocking over a chair while walking, that's all.

I thought the kid was going to at least say a few words to that person or do some tricks, but there was nothing.After the sound of the chair being knocked down, the surroundings became completely silent.I pricked up my ears, the only sound I could hear was my own heartbeat.

It was a horrible feeling, and I felt like I was going through hours like that.But in fact, this extreme silence didn't last very long, maybe only ten minutes.

What broke the silence was a small crackling sound, and then the faint hissing sound of the electric current became discernible, and the pure white cold light of the fluorescent lamp shot in through the crack of the closet door.

...Call?

When I went to look at the hand holding Liuliu again, I realized that Liuliu had darkened at some point, and the cold sweat in the palm was dripping down the edge of the palm.

"Little ghost, are you still there?" I took a deep breath and shouted loudly.

No one answered.Not even a sound that could be called an answer.

I yelled again, still no response.

... If the call means that the matter is over, and the huge danger that I haven't figured out until now is gone, does it mean that I can go out from here?According to the little ghost, the person he has to face is very terrifying, so is he seriously injured now?When he came out of the basement of Bai's house, he bled so much, the smell of rainwater was not as strong as it is now...

I don't worry about the little ghost's situation, and I don't care about my fear. I just want to get out of this closet as soon as possible.Originally, I was quite dissatisfied with the fact that the little devil locked me here alone. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, I can't avoid it. If I go out this time and run into the dealer who sells Pixiu, I will use soldiers to cover it up. Bar.

This closet was originally a small and not well-utilized space in the layout of the room. The owner partitioned it out during the renovation and added a door to become a closet.Therefore, the door of the closet is a steel-wood interior door that matches the room decoration, and the door lock is also a ball-type door lock that is popular among interior doors.

I thought about this door lock thing when I first moved in.From the perspective of the bedroom, the door of the closet is an inward-opening door. No key is needed for locking or opening from the bedroom side, so if there is a burglary, the lock does not exist, and there is no need for the things in the closet. No protection at all.It just never occurred to me that one day I would be locked in a closet myself.

This kind of door is much stronger than ordinary wardrobe doors with locks. Once it is locked from the outside, it is basically impossible to break open with my body.When I was arguing with the kid before, I bumped it hard a few times. Except for the severe pain in my shoulder, the door didn't move at all.

However, the anti-theft coefficient of this kind of door lock is very low, and it is relatively easy to pry it open.I rummaged around in the closet looking for tools to pick the lock, and finally fixed my eyes on the clothes hanging in the corner.

The closet is mainly used for hanging clothes. Most of the clothes were thrown out by the kid before, and only a few pieces are left in the farthest position.One of them was my suit, which was the one I wore when I went to the city inspection for the interview.Later, when I officially started my internship, I realized that the environment of the city inspection does not require a suit and leather shoes every day. This suit has not been worn again after dry cleaning, and has been hanging in the corner of the closet.

So now there is still a simple wire hanger like a dry cleaner on it!

As if I had found a treasure, I saw the hanger almost bursting into flames, I tore off the dust cover outside the suit, threw the suit aside, and took the hanger.After removing the plastic wrapping on the outside, the iron wire inside is still very thin, just right for picking the lock.

I tore off the plastic and straightened the hanger into a shape suitable for picking a lock.Because there are no tools, the only thing I can use is my hands and teeth, but these two things are far less powerful than pliers. It took me a long, long time to finally get it done. There was a strong fishy smell in his mouth.

Fortunately, the process of picking the lock went smoothly. I don't know if I was lucky. It only took two or three minutes to successfully pick it open.Finally coming out of the closet, I glanced at the wall clock on the wall, the time was 3:1 in the middle of the night.I actually spent almost 5 hours in the closet.

The surroundings were very quiet, and the pile of clothes thrown out by the kid was still piled up on the ground in a mess. Other than that, everything in the room was still as it was.There was no sign of a fight, no sign of anyone coming.

I went to the living room to check again, and a chair next to the dining table fell to the ground. Maybe the sound I heard before was made by this chair.Everything else is pretty much the same as it was before, at least not with my eyesight.

The gate was securely locked.The anti-theft door of my house cannot be closed without a key outside the door. Based on this alone, it seems that no one has ever entered or exited.

There is no sign of the imp anywhere.

I searched carefully from the bedroom to the kitchen to the living room, and even the bathroom. There was no blood, and there was no other trace except for the fallen chair.

There are only two and a half apartments in total, and there are not many pieces of furniture, so you can see the bottom at a glance.What's more, if the little ghost is here, there is really no need to avoid me like this.

There is no sign of the imp anywhere.However, the strong smell of rain in the air is still reminding me that something must have happened here.

Reluctantly, I called out the kid's name again. The voice was like a stone thrown into the lake, and was soon swallowed up by the silence of the night.

Could he have climbed out of the window?My family lives on the fourth floor, so I'm not tall even if I'm short. The kid is so good at it, it shouldn't be a problem to climb up to the fourth floor, right?

Thinking of this, I went to the window of the living room.After autumn, because the weather is still very hot, the windows of the living room are kept open.No footprints could be seen on the windowsill, and the screens didn't look like someone had touched them.

I pulled open the screen window and poked my head out of the window to look down. There were no cars passing by on the small alley the window faced, and the street lamps on the side of the street were shining dimly.There are no balconies on this side, and the drain pipe outside the building is three windows away from where I am.It would be crazy for ordinary people to climb down here without tools.

But what if it's a kid?

I was thinking about the possibility of the kid climbing down the window, but halfway through thinking about it, I felt distraught and shook my head fiercely.

He must have climbed down from here.There is no other possibility.

I closed the screen again and went back to the house. I went to the bathroom to wash my face with cold water, and when I was drying it with a towel, I discovered something unexpectedly.

The imp's towel was gone.

The day he came to live with me, I found him a new set of toiletries, and the towels ended up hanging on a hook next to the sink.But now there is nothing on that hook, and the toothbrush and mug are gone too.

I went back to the bedroom.His original T-shirt and jeans that day were torn many times and stained with a lot of blood, so they were no longer wearable.After returning from the hospital, I allocated a layer of the closet to store the home clothes I brought him and a few other clothes he bought.That shelf of the closet is empty now.

Not only that, the medicines and bandages brought back from the hospital were originally placed on the lower floor of the coffee table in the living room, but now they have disappeared.Including the rice, oil and various seasonings he bought for cooking, he couldn't find them.

This thing is so puzzling.It was barely possible for the little ghost to climb down from the window on the fourth floor by himself, but if he carried so many miscellaneous things on his back, he could not imagine climbing down from the fourth floor safe and sound.

And what is he doing with these things?Towels and toothbrushes, clothes, medicine, and best of all, a bag of rice and a bucket of oil.These things are not expensive, where can I not buy them?Instead of trying to move away, it's better to go to a new place and buy it again. With his character, he probably wouldn't do such a thing.

But if it wasn't the kid who took these things away, things would be even more incomprehensible.All these things are related to the little ghost, and the only one who knows this is me except himself.

I don't know what method the person who took these things used to do it.But judging from the results, it seemed like it was going to erase all evidence that the kid had lived here.

This thought made me tremble, and I hurried to the bookcase in the corner of the living room to find something.After I came back from Bai's house, I took out the photocopied case file from my bag, and put it on the top shelf of the bookcase together with the photo album I got from Bai's house.Now those are gone.

With the last hope, I sat down on the edge of the sofa and turned on the computer.

Xiaoguitu conveniently saved the resumption form directly on the desktop, which should have been seen as soon as it was turned on.This time, however, there is no such icon on the desktop.
