sunk in yesterday

Xia Youjiang was not yet 40 years old when he died, but at that age, resistance to marriage has always been a thorn in Xia Hong's heart.

The Xia family has always been the parents in charge of the marriage, choosing a son-in-law or daughter-in-law who can match the family.Xia Hong wanted to break his son's legs time and time again and throw him at the wedding venue, but it would undoubtedly be a scandal if he really wanted to do so.Since Xia Youjiang was separated from him and his sweetheart, he ran away without saying a word, and returned home very rarely every year.

Therefore, after feeling the aggrievedness of the rebellious and hard-to-handle younger generation, Xia Zhuo's easy-going personality made him feel very comfortable.But he never thought that Xia Zhuo's obedience was only because he bore the title of "grandpa". Without this family relationship, he would be nothing.

To be more specific, it is not fear, but respect.

Others have picked up on the matter of the door, and I don't know if he thought about it before he died.

Now Mr. Xia is resting on the second floor, and his assistant is busy on the first floor. Xia Zhuo and the others can't go anywhere.

After arriving at the safe children's playroom, Tan Nian's main character came forward.

He has a quiet personality and is usually used to being alone, so he hugged a jigsaw puzzle from the shelf and sat at Guan Yuzhou's feet to fiddle with it.

Xia Zhuo had nothing to do, and filled in the debris with him, one big and one small surrounded by the same person, looking from a distance like a parent with two children.

Seeing Tan Nian's red face obsessed with it, Xia Zhuo touched Guan Yuzhou with his arm, and secretly said, "Tan Nian is so cute, shall we raise a younger brother for him in the future?"

After cooperating for so long, he still thinks about his son.

Guan Yuzhou was thinking about something, but was suddenly interrupted by such an interruption, and his thoughts were completely messed up.His expression was a bit complicated, seeing Xia Zhuo's serious look, he suddenly smiled, "I'm afraid Xiao Hei won't allow it."

Xia Zhuo thought about it, and it seemed to be the case.

The door of the room was not closed. Not long after, the sound of stray footsteps appeared near the stairs from far to near. Xia Zhuo immediately stopped the movement of his hands and listened to the movement with his ears up.

"They're here." Guan Yuzhou whispered.

Several people got up at the same time, without making any noise, they walked towards the stairs together.

There were about three or five people who came, laughing and talking while walking.But after careful analysis, those words were like layers of sound-shielding panels, and they couldn't be heard clearly.

Fearing that he would cause trouble if he faced him head-on, Xia Zhuo deliberately slowed down and stood still at the corner next to the stairs, using the wall to hide his figure.

But as soon as they stopped, all the footsteps and conversation sounded as if a hand had pressed the pause button, and there was no echo left on the empty spiral staircase, leaving only a strange silence in the air.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, this tranquility was not broken, but instead created a depressive atmosphere from shallow to deep.

what happened?

Xia Zhuo tried to take a few steps back, but there was still no movement on the stairs.

If the enemy doesn't move, I don't move. This consumption took 5 minutes.

The long silence made them wonder if those people had gone home instead of going upstairs.

Or went to the second floor?Didn't come to the third floor?

But you have to keep an eye on everything, Guan Yuzhou thought for a while, and gave Yu Ziang who was closest to the light switch in the corridor a look.

Yu Ziang received his message, raised his hand to rest on the porcelain white sensor button, and pressed down lightly.

--"Snapped".

The corridor on the third floor was immediately plunged into darkness.

At the same time, trembling suddenly spread from the bottom of my heart, and the scene in front of me made people feel cold from head to toe.

In their oblique direction—on the wall facing the stairs, four twisted figures were reflected.

They were vaguely pasted on the dim yellow wall under the orange light, and they stood there quietly in strange postures like dead things, as if they were attending some kind of ancient and weird ball, more like waiting for the appearance of victims .

Due to the lack of light, the ceiling above gave people a crooked feeling, and formed an uncomfortable angle with the wall. At first glance, they seemed to be in the throat of a monster.

Chu Jin cursed in fright, and suddenly regretted why he followed out just now.

He immediately dismissed the idea of ​​going to the basement. The more secrets he knew, the faster he would die. He should just be a vase in peace and stability.

At this time, the lights on the stairs dimmed, and the dim wall lamps barely illuminated the corridor they were in, and the intertwined and stiff shadows appeared even colder.The shadows changed accordingly, their hands and feet began to tremble, and something was about to break out of the cocoon, making a strange rustling sound.

"hiss."

Xia Zhuo suddenly took a breath.

As soon as his voice jumped out, like a spark beside the sleeping magma, Tan Nian, who was already tense, trembled three times.

Human senses are infinitely magnified in the dark, and all senses of touch become extremely sensitive.

Xia Zhuo lowered his head in a daze, he saw a faint green light on his chest, the jade pendant was very hot, obviously warning him something.

At that moment, the lights on the stairs went out.

Darkness comes.

The suffocating silence oppressed their nerves, and the cold chill climbed along the spine to the back of the head.Yu Ziang reacted quickly to turn on the lights in the corridor, but the alternating sounds of the switch being turned on and off came one after another, and the lights on the wall were short-circuited and never turned on again.

There was the sound of shoes rubbing against the ground on the stairs, and there was no carpet to isolate the sound, so the dragged footsteps appeared more clearly.

Guan Yuzhou made a decisive decision and pulled Xia Zhuo up who was squatting on the ground.

The only road was blocked. At this time, which room to hide in was self-inflicted. For a while, everyone didn't know where to go.

There was no moonlight outside the window, and there was no light downstairs, the whole summer house fell into a deep sleep, only the strange footsteps were still approaching a little bit.

Xia Zhuo's neck was restrained, and the jade pendant floated in the air like it had life force, pulling him in one direction.

In the morning, the injured knee was still in hot pain. After squatting for a long time, the tight jeans tightened his flesh, which made the pain a little bit deeper.Suddenly being carried away by a force, he almost tripped over himself, but managed to stabilize himself by holding on to the wall beside him.

However, with such a support, he got goose bumps all over his shoulders.

The original hard wall became squishy, ​​with mucus secreting on it, and a disgusting stench could be smelled close.

He felt his stomach, which had been subdued for a long time, begin to churn again.

Tan Nian stumbled and followed behind them. He had a poor sense of direction and his legs were weak from fear. He accidentally tripped over something on the ground and fell down.

A gust of wind blew through his hair, and the cold feeling made him unable to move as if he was frozen. The people who had already run to the door turned their heads when they heard the movement, and the beam of the flashlight hit him directly behind him. What wind, but a monster nearly three people tall exhaling.

Stimulated by the light, the monster slowly raised its head.

It has a total of four pale heads, and its swollen body looks like a huge sarcoma. The two arms are as long as bamboo poles, and the spliced ​​body is still stained with blood.It turned all the gray eyeballs and looked straight at Guan Yuzhou holding the flashlight.

The shaky light beam hit some metal object, and the reversed light made people squint their eyes reflexively.

Tan Nian didn't dare to turn his head, and crawled forward two steps with hands and feet together, his eyes filled with tears in fright.But the ground under his feet changed, and the wriggling floor stopped him from moving forward, instead pushing him behind.

Xia Zhuo's heart was also lifted violently along with the crying, he was holding on to the door firmly, but the jade pendant pulled him in without stopping, regardless of his resistance.

He had to cast his eyes on Guan Yuzhou and let the man find a way to save him.

It's a pity that the flashlight is not enough to deal with such a huge monster. After only a few seconds of pause, Tan Nian felt that the sense of intimidation that was about to suffocate him was getting closer to him.

He wiped away tears in frustration, and barely turned over to escape when a gust of wind rushed towards him.But the speed of the monster was obviously faster than him, and a hand was about to grab his ankle.In the nick of time, he touched a small piece of mirror from his pocket—it was smashed off the bathroom mirror, with a sharp corner.

Xia Zhuo's heart almost reached his throat.

Tan Nian grabbed the lens, his face flushed red due to the rapid surge of adrenaline, and he swung it wildly crying, which actually made him cut a few times, and the stinky blood spattered on the wall.The monster roared angrily, taking advantage of this gap, he fell on the ground several times in a row, and finally returned to Guan Yuzhou with several flesh wounds.

Xia Zhuo felt strange that Tan Xiaohei didn't come out this time.

But he didn't care about that much anymore, the monster approached them at a faster speed, as soon as Tan Nian came, the five of them entered the room with Xia Zhuo, and locked the door from the inside.

The sound of violent impact kept coming, and Yu Ziang and Guan Yuzhou moved pieces of furniture to block the door panels to delay the time to breathe.

The flashlight was in Xia Zhuo's hand, and he used the light to scan around, with a clear look in his eyes.

The hanging curtains on the opposite side completely covered the windows, and the long table had been replaced with clean tableware, and there was still a faint smell of food in the air.

The jade pendant actually brought them to the restaurant, but the reaction disappeared after entering here, and now it feels only warm and cool to the touch.

Chu Jin jumped to his side in surprise, "What have you been through, how could such a disgusting thing appear?!"

Xia Zhuo twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly. He felt that Chu Jin was rare and strange, and he was not as stable as him at all.

Seeing that all the movable things in the room were piled up at the door, but the strength of the monster became more and more fierce, and it might break into the door at any time, and it would be like catching a turtle in a jar.

He took a deep breath, clenched the flashlight with his fingertips, and the coolness brought by the cold metal shell penetrated into his skin through his palm, slightly driving away his worries.

Guan Yuzhou walked towards Xia Zhuo, and Yu Ziang followed behind him, "It has a key on it."

"...the key?" Chu Jin asked, "What key?"

"I saw it just now, and it is hanging on its body. I don't know where the door can be opened." Guan Yuzhou paused for a while, and said: "It is now in a state of being enraged, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to force it. The most urgent thing is to leave here first."

For Xia Zhuo's safety, he could only take a step back temporarily.

Chu Jin pointed at the door: "How do you get out? Let alone through the window."

Leaving aside the specially raised three-story building, there is nothing but darkness outside, who knows if there will be any accidents if you step out of the house half a step away.

"Don't go out the window." Guan Yuzhou glanced to one side.

Xia Zhuo followed his gaze to remove the flashlight, looked carefully, and then noticed the one-meter-high metal cabinet embedded in the wall.

The digital display on the control button shows the number "3".

By the way, they can take the lift!
