Dong Xie carefully opened the door in front of him slightly.
The corridor outside was as quiet as ever, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Dong Xie then gradually opened the door and walked out slowly. After walking outside, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked Dong Ning behind him to follow him out. Zhao Long and Ge Qi also followed out.
"Let's go."
Zhao Long walked at the front. In any case, he is the "oldest" resident after all. If he is also timid, the team will naturally not be able to lead it. As for Dong Xie, Dong Ning and Ge Qi, the three of them are
, followed closely by.
"Dong...Dong Xie," everyone was now familiar with each other, and they all addressed him by his first name. At this time, Ge Qi began to speak in a lower voice in front of Dong Xie: "I may have been a little awkward with my words before.
OK, maybe it makes you feel uncomfortable. Let me apologize to you. After all, we are all in the same boat and ended up in this damn apartment. I hope you can bear with me. If...if there is any danger, I hope you can
Give me a hand."
Ge Qi was really scared. When he thought about Feng Yu's fate and his current ending, his heart trembled. The companion who was still talking to them just now was gone in the blink of an eye! Of course, it was impossible
Who would risk their lives and run to the fourth floor to save him? Now Feng Yu has probably gone to the underworld to report to King Yama.
When a fox dies and a rabbit dies, everything hurts its own kind. Ge Qi doesn’t want to end up like Feng Yu! He doesn’t want to die!
"I...my parents are old and are retiring in their hometown in the countryside. They now think that I am working in K City! I...I don't know how they will grieve if I die!"
Obviously, he was playing the sympathy card, hoping that someone would help him at the critical moment.
"How...how did you get into the apartment?" Dong Xie was certainly not a fool. Of course he could see Ge Qi's intentions, but he still felt the same way he said "we share the same problem."
"I originally ordered takeout from Ele.me, but when I entered the community to deliver takeout... I found the wrong place and walked to the front of the alley... I was worried that the delivery would be late, but in a hurry..."
"It's not easy for everyone." Dong Xie patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's support each other."
He made it very clear that it was "mutual".
The door to the stairwell was still wide open. Zhao Long stepped out without much hesitation this time. Feng Yu's sacrifice also gave them a clear reminder to a certain extent: the real danger came from the fourth floor.
Otherwise, why bother letting Feng Yu run downstairs? From this point of view, "they" should not ambush the residents here.
Dong Xie walked closely behind Zhao Long, but he would still slow down slightly intentionally or unintentionally. The stairwell would pass by the fourth floor... If something happened to Zhao Long, he would quickly run backwards for his life.
The four people stepped down the stairs step by step, almost as if they were walking with force as if they were stepping on ants to death, just for fear of making any noise. Everyone looked solemn. After all, there was only a narrow stairwell with little room to hide.
Greatly reduced. Especially Zhao Long, who was at the front, was under the greatest pressure.
As a result... it took them almost 2 minutes to walk down such a short flight of stairs!
The iron door leading to the fourth floor from the stairwell was still locked. Inside, it was still invisible. When they passed by, they were particularly frightened and did not even dare to take another look at the iron door. Then, they quickly walked
Continue walking down.
Then... they came to the third floor.
After arriving on the third floor, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They entered the third floor from the stairwell, and Ge Qi quickly closed the stairwell door. Then, they held candles to light up the dark corridor in front of them.
Will there be any clues similar to graffiti this time?
The four people began to move forward slowly again...
Even though Dong Xie kept holding his sister's hand, he still felt uneasy and had to look back at her before he could feel at ease. The light of the candle kept swaying, becoming the only light that made them feel at ease in the darkness.
"Um?"
Dong Xie saw that there was a mailbox in front of a door, and a lot of newspapers had been stuffed into the mailbox, and most of the newspapers were exposed.
He walked up and pointed the candle at the exposed newspaper, so that he could see the date of the newspaper.
"The newspaper from three days ago..."
After all, the people living here are all old people. They are probably not good at using smartphones yet. They still subscribe to newspapers and read the news. It seems like what the landlord said, the old people here have already organized a group to travel.
Dong Xie handed the candle to Zhao Long. He was unwilling to let go of A Ning's hand at any time. He reached out and took out the newspaper from the mailbox. He looked at it. To be honest, even if there was a bloody fingerprint on the newspaper page, he would not let go.
It wouldn't be surprising. But... the newspaper looks normal, there is nothing weird about it, I just see a large number of advertisements inside.
Ge Qi also came closer to take a look, but because the corridor was too dark, he accidentally kicked a potted plant at the door!
"Clang"!
The potted plant fell to the ground, making a very loud sound in this silent corridor!
At this moment, everyone looked pale!
Ge Qi, who had caused trouble, was so frightened that he immediately covered his mouth, while the others did not dare to move. They were all afraid that the sound just now would cause any trouble? Dong Ning looked at Ge Qi's face.
His eyes were as sharp as a knife.
For a long time, there was no movement around, and everyone gradually relaxed.
Zhao Long glared at Ge Qi fiercely, then stretched out his finger and pointed at him fiercely. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning couldn't be clearer.
"Huh? Look!"
At this time, I only heard Dong Ning's words in a low voice.
They immediately looked at the overturned potted plant on the ground. Under the broken potted plant, a key appeared!
Dong Xie slowly squatted down and picked up the key.
At this time, he felt like he was playing a game and had obtained the hidden plot props that were very helpful in passing the levels. The residents here are old people, so they may have poor memory and forget to take the keys when going out, so he just
Is there a key placed under the potted plant for backup?
He immediately stood up, took the key and inserted it into the keyhole in front of him. With a slight turn... the door opened!
"This is indeed the key to here!"
He then slowly pushed the door open, took the candle from Zhao Long and illuminated the inside. The door was a very simple kitchen, and the other end of the kitchen seemed to be the living room.
"Go in and take a look... maybe there will be some clues inside!"
