Chapter 29 Probing
"Huh?" Qi Yi came back to his senses: "Are we here?"
Lao Chi opened the car door: "Get out of the car."
After getting off the car and going upstairs with him, Qi Yi felt an inexplicable tingling sensation on his scalp. When he turned around, he found that in the elevator mirror, his hair was actually standing on end.
His movements were not small, which caught Lao Chi's attention: "What are you doing...Why is your hair standing on end?"
Qi Yi looked at himself: he thought of static electricity for the first time, but it's strange, the elevator is also a Faraday cage, why...
Lao Chi was a little panicked and raised his hand to touch his dog's head. Then he looked in the mirror and saw that his hair was normal.
"Lao Qi, what's going on?"
"Static electricity." Qi Yi only spit out two words.
Lao Chi took a long breath, as long as it wasn't some supernatural thing.
Qi Yi lifted his shoes, bent down, and looked at the soles of the shoes.
The soles of standard leather shoes are made of thick rubber, so electric charges cannot be directed to the ground and accumulate in the body.
He raised his hand and touched the elevator to draw out the electric charge. The hair that stood up quickly fell down, and he smoothed it out.
Lao Chi also asked: "How come you have static electricity on your body?"
Qi Yi also felt strange and didn't take it too seriously: "Maybe he touched something with electric charge."
The two said that the elevator had arrived and walked to the door of Lao Chi's house.
After hesitating at the door for a few seconds, Lao Chi decided not to change his slippers, but walked directly into the living room and leaned heavily on the sofa: "Tell me, will you encounter anything strange tonight?"
After saying that, he jumped up in a serious manner, looked around, got up and locked all the windows on the balcony, and then he came back and continued to sit with peace of mind.
Qi Yi shook his head, but with Lao Chi by his side, he wasn't too afraid. He even thought about setting up a trap to lure out the pretentious guy and catch him.
It was Lao Chi's performance that made him speechless: It's so embarrassing for such a big man to be afraid of ghosts.
But considering that as a forensic doctor, I am only half qualified, I have no right to dislike Lao Chi.
Lao Chi's butt was still hot from sitting, so he stood up and went to the room where Qi Yi slept yesterday, found a fruit knife and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he felt more at ease: "I'm carrying the knife you brought yesterday for emergencies."
Qi Yi nodded. He had forgotten the existence of this knife last night. He was so uncomfortable when he was sleeping that he took it out and put it on the bedside table. However, he still had the screwdriver with him.
He asked: "Do you have any more knives? Give me one for self-defense too."
Lao Chi raised his hand and pointed: "Go to the kitchen and get a kitchen knife."
"Okay." Qi Yi took the kitchen knife and walked to the sofa to sit down. He began to look at Lao Chi's home carefully, thinking about the feasibility of the "seduce" plan.
In fact, I took a look at it yesterday. The biggest difference between Lao Chi's house and my own is that his house has a security net installed and the door locks are more advanced.
I was so frightened all night yesterday that I couldn't think about it. Now that I thought about it, Qi Yi felt that the monkey-like furry thing probably couldn't get in, so the rest of last night was uneventful.
Lao Chi took two cans of sugar-free Kuoluo from the refrigerator and sat next to Qi Yi: "What are you thinking about? You've been thinking about it all night."
"Thank you." Qi Yi raised his head and answered him nonchalantly: "Ha~! I was just thinking about something."
Lao Chi gave him a middle finger.
After a while, Lao Chi felt bored and simply turned on the TV to watch the boxing match.
"Keep your voice down." Qi Yi regained his consciousness, Lao Chi made a disgusted face and muted his voice. Qi Yi continued to be in a daze.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't say anything, just spending time quietly.
Qi Yi turned his head and looked out the window from time to time, but found nothing unusual and didn't see any crows.
No crows, does that mean tonight is normal?
No, there was no crow last night, just a furry thing.
But there were knocking sounds on both nights. On the first night, there was a knock on the window in the toilet and in the anatomy room. On the second night, there was a knock on the window at home.
And tonight...
I haven't heard any special noise yet.
Lao Chi took the can Kuoluo again and pried open the mouth of the can.
Bah...
Boom!
Qi Yi's pupils suddenly dilated, and he jumped up from the sofa as if he was electrocuted. He turned his head and looked around as if he was possessed. Lao Chi was startled by him and asked quickly: "What's the matter?"
"Did you hear anything?" Qi Yi's lips were blue, his eyes were darting around, and his fingers were holding the handle of the kitchen knife hard.
"No...no," Lao Chi was also very nervous because of him: "Nothing...I didn't even turn on the sound on the TV. I was watching a silent game. Did you hear it wrong?"
Qi Yi was not sure. The voice was very soft and familiar. He couldn't tell whether it was an illusion.
"Are you sure you heard the sound?" Lao Chi asked, and Qi Yi's reaction made him more and more uneasy.
Qi Yi didn't answer. He vaguely felt like he was about to catch something.
Wait, the TV sound is off? Silent game?
The previous knocks seemed to be without exception, in a very quiet environment, mixed with large or small movements.
The sound of dripping water in the toilet, the sound of instruments colliding with the dissecting table in the dissecting room, the sound of opening and closing bowl lids at home, the sound of just opening a Coke.
Qi Yi sat down again, took out the pen from his jacket pocket, and tapped it gently on the coffee table rhythmically. Lao Chi held his breath and stared at the cap of the pen.
Da, da, da, da...
Boom!
clatter……
Qi Yi grabbed the pen and his heart was beating fast.
Sure enough, it appeared!
Qi Yi's startled reaction made Lao Chi's heart skip a beat. He was secretly on guard, his muscles tensed up, and his right hand quietly reached into his pocket and touched the handle of the fruit knife.
Qi Yi also picked up the kitchen knife, stood up slowly, looked at the room where he slept last night, and asked in a low voice: "Did you hear it this time?"
"What did you hear?" Lao Chi was nervous and confused: "I only heard you knocking on the table, and suddenly you had a big reaction, as if you were bitten by a pen."
Qi Yi was puzzled and pointed to the room: "The sound of knocking on the window came from that room."
But Lao Chi still shook his head: "I really didn't hear anything. How about you try again?"
"You really didn't hear me?" Qi Yi picked up the pen again.
Da da……
Boom!
Qi Yi suddenly raised his head and looked at Lao Chi, his eyes wide open and filled with red bloodshot eyes.
"What's wrong?" Lao Chi asked, "Is the sound of knocking on the window coming again?"
"You still didn't hear?"
"I only heard you knock on the table twice."
"Impossible!" Qi Yi said: "It failed to get into the sound of knocking on the table this time. It took about half a second. It was very obvious. Your hearing is much better than mine. How could you not hear it?"
Lao Chi was also going crazy: "I really didn't hear anything."
Qi Yi was stunned, and Lao Chi also fell into deep thought.
The two of them were so close, Qi Yi heard the noise, but Lao Chi, who had a stronger hearing, didn't notice anything. This made Lao Chi start to wonder about Qi Yi's experiences in the past two days.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he has only heard about these nonsense things Qi Yi said and has no serious experience?
