Devil's Apartment Volume 1 Hell Apartment Chapter 12 The Sound of Footsteps Dong Ning slowly opened the door.
The room with the balcony was in a mess and it was very troublesome to walk.
She walked step by step to the balcony, where she saw the man holding the umbrella just now.
"Are there really ghosts in this world?"
As soon as she said this, she looked to the side and was suddenly stunned.
She discovered that there was an umbrella placed under the bed next to her!
Red umbrella!
It’s the red umbrella again!
Now, when Dong Ning sees the red umbrella, it can almost be said that she will have a conditioned fear.
"Look!"
Several people who were at the door also ran in and saw the red umbrella.
"Oh my God..." Aning covered her mouth, "How many red umbrellas are there?"
Dong Ning looked at the umbrella and recalled the video content she saw on the USB flash drive, feeling nervous.
"I always feel that there is a force in the dark that is preventing us from finding the truth."
Aning also nodded and said: "On this point, I completely agree with you."
"What do you mean?" The man with a middle parted head came over and asked, "Do you... have any clues?"
"When you woke up, did you have any paper or anything on you?"
"This...nothing. I only found this USB disk. Other than that, we don't have anything on us that can prove our identity."
Dong Ning's eyes were fixed on the red umbrella in front of her, and she continued: "When Mr. Lan and I woke up, there was a piece of paper under our bodies. So I know my name is Dong Ning."
"Dong Ning..." After thinking for a while, the man with the middle head thought: "Well, to be honest, I have no memory of this name at all."
"It's normal. I have no impression of this name at all." Dong Ning smiled bitterly, "I'm not even 100% sure whether this is really my name."
She did not dare to fully trust all the information she had received so far, including the people around her. She now doubted whether one of these people was the culprit who caused her to lose her memory.
"Then..." She looked at Aning again, "You also wrote something on your arm, but it disappeared after a while. The same goes for that USB flash drive. The video inside was taken by you, but now, the content inside
It actually formatted automatically."
Everyone looked at each other.
"At least one thing is certain..."
Dong Ning pointed at the middle part, then pointed at Aning, and said: "You two probably knew each other before you lost your memory, otherwise your USB flash drive wouldn't be in his pants pocket."
"But the place where we woke up is completely different." Aning also felt strange about this: "Judging from the video, I should be a foreigner who came here for the first time..."
"When you were taking the video, there were other people around you." Dong Ning continued to analyze: "At that time, I noticed that one of the shadows on the ground was you, and there were several other shadows around you. Your shadow moved
Sometimes, other shadows also move. The people around you may be us."
"So we all knew each other before we lost our memories?"
"Then why do we lose our memories?"
"That's right, collective amnesia, this is too strange."
This kind of amnesia can be said to be extremely complete. I remember basically all the common sense of life, but I can't remember any specific life experiences.
"Do you remember all the knowledge about history, politics, geography, and basic physics and biology?"
"Yeah, I remember everything." Zhong Fen nodded and said, "It seems to be some very extensive knowledge. I'm afraid even if our memory is restored, we can't remember when we first learned about this knowledge. Only knowledge that meets this condition
, we just remember.”
Indeed... most people will not remember the first time they knew one plus one, or the first time they knew the earth was round, but the knowledge itself is still deeply imprinted in the brain after losing memory. Only
I have lost even the slightest bit of concrete life experience.
"There must be something mysterious about this red umbrella... But on the surface, it looks like an ordinary umbrella?" Zhong Fen walked up to the umbrella, squatted down and took a closer look. After all, he had not had those weird and terrifying experiences, and he was still more or less courageous.
bigger.
He picked up the red umbrella, walked to the balcony, opened the umbrella, and looked...
"It looks very ordinary...just a red umbrella."
Seeing Zhong Fen holding up the red umbrella, Dong Ning's face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Quick, put the umbrella away!"
She had a strange intuition at this time. If she kept holding this umbrella, something terrible might happen!
The man with a middle-parted head was stunned for a moment, so he had no choice but to close the umbrella and put it aside.
"Anyway, let's leave this town on foot."
The content of the video just now also left a deep impression on Zhong Fentou.
"Yes, yes!" The shorter man also said: "After all, the video just now seemed to talk about something terrible happening at midnight."
It is still very early before midnight, but all those people chose to flee before midnight, which shows that it is not safe now.
"What is the purpose of the five of us coming to this town?" Aning held her chin and thought hard: "I think it is unlikely that we are here for tourism. Tourist places are all scenic spots. If they are famous
It’s impossible for a tourist destination not to know the secret of the night that everyone in this town knows.”
"This town is obviously very closed to the outside world. The town is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and most of the streets don't even have street signs. I'm afraid it is an extremely remote and isolated place." Dong Ning began to express his analysis: "So the small town
The secret of the town is only known to the people in the town. Every year, only on May 28th, after dark, something will happen that makes them extremely afraid. And this mysterious event will reach its peak at midnight...
I speculate that the few people who remain will choose to leave the town before then."
"Let's first look to see if there is a map of the town here." Dong Ning couldn't think of any results in the end, and said: "Without a map, we are not familiar with the roads, so we will probably take long detours. With a map, we can find a way.
The fastest way out of town."
"Okay..." Aning glanced at the room. All kinds of things were piled up in an extremely messy manner. "Can we find it?"
"It would be even better if it were possible... to find the secret of this town after dark." Dong Ning still holds some hope for this. "Otherwise, I will not feel at ease after all."
This point is the same whether it is Dong Ning or anyone else.
What is the horrific disaster that this small town will encounter after nightfall?
Haunted?
"It's really too messy..." Aning picked up the things scattered on the ground one by one. At the same time, he was also wondering in his heart, was she really the one who took the previous video? Indeed, it was her voice that came out of it.
In my memory, who was the person who called me "A Ning"? Although I only have a moment of memory, the other people's voices don't feel like that person.
If you must say...
She seemed to have a very close feeling to the person calling her in her memory. He was either a relative or a lover, not like an ordinary friend.
"Who is that person?"
She continued to pack her things, and finally cleared an empty space on the ground.
"call……"
Most of the things scattered on the ground were clothes. She hoped to find some newspapers, books and periodicals, which could be considered clues.
But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find the most crucial thing.
Just then...
"clatter"……
"clatter"……
"clatter"……
This voice sounds very strange.
Everyone's face became ugly.
The sound of footsteps was so strange. The interval between two footsteps was almost as mechanical as a pendulum.
Aning's first reaction was to rush to the door and gently close the door. Then, she pulled a chair and blocked the door.
Dong Ning looked at everyone and made a "shh" gesture to ask everyone to quiet down.
Afterwards, everyone gathered on the balcony. If anything went wrong, they would jump off the balcony.
The footsteps are getting closer... getting closer...
