Wang Xiaoshuai opened his eyes and saw darkness beyond his reach.
The bed board beneath him was extremely cold, and the surrounding area was no longer filled with the strange aroma brought by the vanilla from the restricted area that he bought at a high price, but a very unpleasant smell.
He suddenly had an unknown premonition.
When I wanted to get up, I bumped into something, like solid iron, and my forehead hurt.
He stretched out his hand and tried to touch the light switch on the wall, but instead of touching it, he touched the cold and hard thing again... Judging from the touch, it seemed to be a wooden board.
The uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and Wang Xiaoshuai realized one thing - he was in a narrow space, and this was not his original room!
He shouted his wife's name loudly, but the voice seemed to be trapped in a small space. It kept echoing in his ears and gradually became distorted, as if it gradually turned into another human voice, letting out a vicious laugh.
No one responded, it seemed that my wife was not here.
Wang Xiaoshuai was so anxious that he hurriedly touched his body until he felt a hard object in his left pocket, and then he calmed down a little——
Fortunately, the phone is still there.
The dim light on the phone screen came on, and he turned on the flashlight, only then did he realize where he was.
coffin.
Red coffin!
The space inside the coffin was so small that he couldn't even turn around. The unpleasant smell filled his nostrils, making him almost spit out his dinner.
Seeing that there was no signal on the mobile phone, Wang Xiaoshuai's heart suddenly went cold.
He didn't know how he appeared in this place from the apartment, but he knew very well that the factor behind it was definitely some kind of weird supernatural power.
Have you offended a transcendent?
Quickly searching his memory, he couldn't remember anyone he had offended recently, let alone anyone he had such hatred with that the other party would risk being arrested by the Bureau of Prohibition and Exclusion to mess with him.
But other than this speculation, he really couldn't think of any reason why he would be involved in such a thing.
Could it be that...
Wang Xiaoshuai recalled one thing, but he didn't have time to think about it. The first priority right now was to get out of the coffin as soon as possible.
The lack of signal on his mobile phone meant that he could not call for help. He tried to push the coffin lid, but veins popped out, but no matter how hard he tried, even if his physical fitness was close to that of an E-level genetic warrior, he could not push the coffin lid open.
A feeling of powerlessness flooded into his heart, and Wang Xiaoshuai was extremely convinced that this was no ordinary coffin, and there was definitely the intervention of extraordinary power!
After a while, he steeled himself and prepared to check the environment inside the coffin. Using the light of his mobile phone, he saw the scratches on the coffin wall at a glance.
A sudden thought occurred in his mind. He looked at the scratches several times and felt that something was wrong. These scratches looked like scratches made with fingernails.
Has anyone else been locked in a coffin before?
Wang Xiaoshuai observed carefully and found that there were many red spots and stripes around the scratches, which were somewhat different from the red color of the coffin itself, much like blood stains. There were also some condensed soil in the gaps, also mixed with a hint of dark red.
"Gulu."
An image emerged in his mind: a person was locked in a coffin, unable to sense the passage of time. He was gradually deprived of oxygen in a dead and dark environment, his face was distorted, and he couldn't help scratching the coffin wall with his fingernails in pain.
Broken, so that blood oozed from it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a deeper association - could this unpleasant smell in the air be the residual smell of blood?
He looked at the dark red coffin and felt that the red color was very uneven, with different shades, as if...
...It's as if the entire red coffin was dyed red one after another with blood.
Perhaps because he was in fear, Wang Xiaoshuai's hearing was particularly sensitive at this time. When his ears moved, he suddenly heard a voice outside the coffin.
"Crunch——"
There was a harsh and long sound, much like the sound of an old wooden door being pushed open. Wang Xiaoshuai suddenly became nervous. He realized that someone had come in from outside.
"Who is outside? Who are you! Let me out quickly!"
No one answered.
"Answer me!"
"Answer me..."
"Answer me..."
"I……"
He roared loudly, but it was eerily quiet outside, and no one paid any attention to him. Only the distorted echo kept echoing, like a cold mockery.
He shivered inexplicably, lowered his tone, and tried to communicate with the people outside the coffin. After a while, it turned into pleading, but no one responded.
Wang Xiaoshuai was scared. Since he woke up from the coffin, except for the sound of the door opening, he had never heard any sound again.
It's as quiet as a cemetery here.
But even so, he still felt a strong sense of uneasiness, as if there was a "person" standing outside the coffin, staring at him.
The man was not breathing, and there was only a cold look of death in his eyes. He pressed his face against the coffin expressionlessly, as if listening to what was going on inside.
In this eerie silence, Wang Xiaoshuai's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. He did not dare to make a sound, as a string seemed to be tightened in his mind.
And the next second, the string broke.
"Dong dong dong dong dong!"
Rapid knocking sound suddenly sounded from above. Wang Xiaoshuai was startled. Someone was knocking on the coffin!
"Who is it? Who is outside?" He mustered up the courage and spoke anxiously.
The knocking sound quickly disappeared and no one responded.
But not long after, the knocking sound outside the coffin sounded again, and it was still extremely urgent, as if there was something urgent.
"Please, let me out!"
The other party was like a cold machine, not responding at all. It would only knock on the coffin again and again, making rapid and strange knocking sounds.
Not only that, something even more desperate happened.
Through the light of his mobile phone, Wang Xiaoshuai suddenly noticed that something was seeping through the cracks in the coffin.
It's mud!
He quickly recognized what was seeping in - someone was filling the coffin with mud!
This is obviously to kill him!
Wang Xiaoshuai roared loudly and begged for mercy, but the mud continued to seep in from the cracks in the coffin, bringing with it some strange warmth, covering the back of his neck, ears, cheeks... and almost covering his mouth and nose.
He will die!
Perhaps because his desire to live was too strong, Wang Xiaoshuai stopped begging for mercy and began to hammer the coffin frantically, even if his hands were bleeding.
Under the influence of blood, the bloody coffin became more and more red, adding a bit of weirdness.
“Bang bang bang bang!”
"Bang!"
Finally, thanks to the strength that exploded between his life and death, the coffin lid was finally pushed open. Although it was still dark in front of him, he could no longer see anything.
The light of the mobile phone suddenly disappeared.
In the flash of lightning, he vaguely saw a dead face covered in mud.
"Dong dong dong dong dong!"
Wang Xiaoshuai suddenly woke up and rubbed his slightly sore eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his face brightened, and he tentatively pressed the switch on the wall. Light suddenly filled the room, and the scene in front of him was so familiar.
He's back.
"Is it a dream..."
Wang Xiaoshuai let out a long sigh of relief. Before he could completely adjust his emotions, he heard a rapid knock on the door again.
"Dong dong dong dong dong!"
His whole body froze, and he turned his head with a horrified look on his face. He saw the closed bedroom door shaking slightly, as if it was being knocked by something.
"who?"
"Me." My wife's helpless voice came from outside the door, "The bedroom door is locked for some reason. Come and open it."
Wang Xiaoshuai was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his wife who was sleeping beside him was no longer there.
He hesitated for a moment, then got out of bed and opened the door. His wife in a nightgown stood outside the door, her face wet.
"What's wrong with you? Your head is covered with sweat?" Seeing his appearance, his wife asked doubtfully.
"It's a nightmare." Wang Xiaoshuai sighed, not wanting to recall the previous scene, "A very strange dream."
Unexpectedly, the wife's expression changed drastically after hearing this, and she quickly asked: "What kind of dream?"
Wang Xiaoshuai felt that his wife's reaction was a bit strange, so he became nervous and whispered: "I can't explain it, I heard a voice in my dream..."
"Sound?" The wife seemed stunned for a moment and said in a panic, "Is it a very rapid knocking sound?"
"Yes, how do you know?" Wang Xiaoshuai was shocked.
"Is it pitch black in the dream and you can't move, only to find yourself in a red coffin later?"
"right."
"Is there someone who keeps knocking on the coffin, feeling very anxious?"
"right."
"Did someone then fill the coffin with mud and try to submerge you in it?"
"Yes!" Wang Xiaoshuai felt cold in his heart and looked at his wife with a horrified expression, "How come you know everything?"
"Because I had the same dream..."
The wife looked strange, and the water on her head kept dripping to the ground. "Do you remember what that knocking sound sounded like?"
"What does it look like..."
Wang Xiaoshuai thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't remember clearly. I think it would be better for us to contact the Bureau of Prohibition Removal as soon as possible?"
This thing is so weird that it can no longer be explained clearly with just two words: nightmare...
However, the wife not only ignored this suggestion, but stared at him directly and continued to ask: "Then do you still remember what the person knocking on the coffin looks like?"
"I didn't see clearly..."
Wang Xiaoshuai suddenly became frightened. He felt that his wife was acting strangely.
"Why is your hair wet?"
He was frightened, and when he lowered his head, he realized that his wife seemed to be holding something in her hand. Mud kept seeping out from between her fingers, carrying a fishy smell.
"Wait for me."
Before he could say anything, his wife suddenly closed the bedroom door.
The two were once again separated by a door, and the air became inexplicably depressed.
Wang Xiaoshuai stood in the empty bedroom, feeling a strong uneasiness suddenly surge in his heart.
Time passed by, and the air became extremely silent.
"Dong dong dong dong dong!"
I don’t know how long it took, but a quick knock on the door suddenly sounded. Wang Xiaoshuai’s face turned pale, and the terrifying memories began to revive. This sound...
It’s obviously exactly the same as in the dream!
Could it be that...
He was trembling all over, but he opened the door by accident.
Outside the door, my wife's face was covered with wet mud, her nose and mouth were all covered with dirt, her expression was gray and numb, like a dead corpse.
"Remember, the person who knocked on the coffin..."
She opened her mouth, her voice was strange and dry, and the dirt on her face fell, mixing with the dripping water drops, forming two mud footprints on the ground.
