Finally feeling relieved, Gao Ruxue turned on all the lights in the room without even changing her shoes.
The light dispelled the darkness and eased her nervousness.
"The security door outside is not closed, but it is too dangerous to open the door inside now and go out. It would be terrible if the person hides in a blind corner that cannot be seen through a peephole."
After closing the curtains, Gao Ruxue took the fruit knife on the coffee table in her hand. As a student of the School of Forensic Medicine, she was very familiar with the various vital points of the human body.
Holding the knife, I finally felt less panicked.
Sitting in the living room, Gao Ruxue took out her mobile phone and called Chen Ge again. This was the twenty-fifth time she called Chen Ge. The message from the mobile phone still said that the call was ongoing.
"Still not working? It's already ten o'clock." Gao Ruxue looked at the messages on her phone. She tried various methods to contact Chen Ge, but she couldn't get a response.
"Did something happen to him? Every time he calls, the line is busy. No matter who he calls, it can't last so long, unless..." Gao Ruxue seemed to have thought of something: "Unless he is talking to a ghost."
Gao Ruxue clearly remembered that there was a problem with her mobile phone. When her two roommates returned to the dormitory last night, something followed them. At that time, she used her mobile phone to send messages to others, and everyone's reply to her was "Look later."
", only Chen Ge's mobile phone was the normal reply from the system.
"The figure lying behind me last night seems unable to change things related to Chen Ge. It seems unable to reply to me on behalf of Chen Ge." An idea flashed through Gao Ruxue's mind, and the phone slipped from her fingers.
It fell to the ground.
"The ghost can't change things related to Chen Ge, and it can't imitate Chen Ge and reply to me, so when I call Chen Ge, the call is always on and I can never get through."
"In other words, during the period when I couldn't call Chen Ge, it was possible that the ghost was controlling my phone."
"If this is really the case, then I used my mobile phone to call my dad before, and the person who answered the phone may not be my father."
"It's a ghost pretending to be my father, give me a reply." Gao Ruxue broke into cold sweat. She deliberately avoided her roommate and hid back home secretly, just to worry about an accident.
But in the phone call just now, she personally told her "father" that she was going to go home and spend the night tonight.
If her guess is true, then the ghost already knows that she is not in the dormitory, but in her own home.
Staring at the phone on the ground, Gao Ruxue didn't dare to move. She suddenly felt very cold.
Just as she was thinking, the mobile phone screen on the ground suddenly lit up, and someone called her at this time.
The phone vibrated on the cold floor. The sound was a bit unsettling. Gao Ruxue hesitated for a while and picked up the phone.
It was Dr. Gao who called her!
Her fingers hesitated between answering and hanging up, but Gao Ruxue finally chose to answer.
"What happened? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" The familiar and warm voice gave Gao Ruxue a long-lost sense of security.
"My phone is on mute and I didn't see it."
Gao Ruxue told the reason she had made up a long time ago. She wanted to test the person on the other side of the phone. Just when she was about to ask something that only Dr. Gao and she knew, Dr. Gao on the phone spoke in advance: "You
As long as you get home safely, it's been quite chaotic at night recently, so just stay at home, I have something else to do here, so I'll probably go back a little later."
"okay, I get it."
After hanging up the phone, the person on the phone seemed to have guessed what she wanted to do and didn't give her a chance to ask.
"It feels like something is watching me."
Gao Ruxue had an impulse in her heart. She wanted to scratch the screen of her phone with the fruit knife in her hand.
After taking a few deep breaths, reason still prevailed.
"The phone may be controlled by a ghost, or there may be a murderer hiding outside the door. What should I do now?"
This is the thirteenth floor. It is impossible to leave through the window. Going through the main entrance, Gao Ruxue is not sure whether the murderer has left or not.
Even if the other party leaves, the corridor may not be safe.
"If you use your mobile phone to call the police, the person who answers the phone may still be a ghost, and the person who comes in the middle of the night may not be the police."
"It's okay to shout loudly for help, but the occupancy rate in Qixia Lake Community is very low. No matter what, I can only try this method now." Gao Ruxue walked to the window, opened a corner of the curtain, and looked out the window.
It was only ten o'clock in the evening, and the community was already dark, and all the lights in the residential buildings were turned off.
"How can it be?"
In the dark community, only the street lights shone on Qixia Lake, bringing a little light.
"Am I hallucinating?" Gao Ruxue became even more frightened. She originally wanted to shout for help, but something was obviously wrong in the community. The surroundings were lifeless and there was a strange atmosphere everywhere.
Looking at the community outside the window, Gao Ruxue's strange feeling in the taxi emerged again. She felt that no place was safe, and there seemed to be danger hidden in every corner.
Looking away, Gao Ruxue looked at the neighbors next to her. In her memory, there seemed to be no one living on either side of her house.
The windows of the house on the left are sealed and the interior has not been decorated yet.
On the right side of the house, there are some dead flowers and plants on the windowsill, which have obviously not been taken care of for a long time.
Gao Ruxue was a little disappointed. As she moved her gaze, she glanced at the house on the fourteenth floor on the upper right.
At the edge of the window, there seemed to be a human face with eyes gouged out, also looking at her.
"Bang!"
Gao Ruxue backed away suddenly and hit the cabinet behind her.
"The body? Did the murder really happen in this community? Is it still on the upper right side of my room?"
She grabbed the knife and used the tip of the knife to open the curtain and looked at the house on the upper right again. The face was gone, and there was only a row of hanging clothes.
"Did I see it wrong?"
After hesitating for a moment, Gao Ruxue still dialed the police number on her mobile phone.
There was nothing wrong with the police's reply. Everything was normal, but something just didn't feel right.
Gao Ruxue grabbed her hair. This feeling was very similar to when she faced her roommate. The person in front of her was obviously the same as usual, but she just felt that it was not her.
"Everything around me is the same as usual, including my father's voice, the police call, the taxi driver, etc., but why don't I feel something is wrong? What is the problem?"
Gao Ruxue grabbed her cell phone and dialed Chen Ge's number for the twenty-sixth time. After two busy beeps, the system's electronically synthesized voice came.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently on a call. Please dial again after you die..."
