Outside the door, footsteps gradually began to approach.
There might be a resident outside the door, or it might...be an evil spirit.
Although Xia Li had adjusted the brightness of his phone to the lowest level and set the sound to silent, at this time, he did not dare to take risks and immediately turned the phone screen into darkness.
The evil spirits cannot sense the location of the residents... This is clearly mentioned in the scarlet instructions. However, it does not say whether the evil spirits have the ability to see through. But judging from the relatively light footsteps outside the door, it does not seem to be discovered.
Himself. Moreover, Xia Li felt that if the evil spirit had the ability to see through things, it would be more unfair to the residents in the Scarlet Mission. However, his character is just more cautious.
The footsteps soon came to the door behind him.
Xia Li estimated that the straight-line distance between him and the "person" outside the door should be less than one meter, and there was only a door between them.
Why stop at the door?
Do you suspect there is someone here?
Xia Li's brain was working rapidly, trying to determine whether the person outside the door was a human being or an evil spirit.
After about three seconds, he concluded that the "person" outside the door was unlikely to be a resident.
The reason is simple. Although there are trees outside the door, there are not many obstacles behind the house. What's more, the trees around here are relatively sparse.
The longer the "person" outside the door stays outside, the less likely it is that he is alive.
The most troublesome thing is that in this situation, once the evil spirit breaks in, Xia Li will be dead.
After a long time, no "people" outside came in, but the footsteps did not sound again.
Don't evil spirits have the ability to pass through walls? If they can, they can just go in and take a look. Or... the evil spirits have already come in?
During this process, he kept staring at the mirror next to him while calculating the time when he last spoke in the WeChat group. From beginning to end, he did not turn on the screen of his mobile phone.
Sweat continued to roll down his forehead, his eyes were fixed on the mirror, and he didn't even dare to move his fingers.
At this moment, he remembered the moment when he entered the Bato Walled City and fell into a near-death situation... At that time, he thought he would definitely die there, but he did not expect that when he came to the real world, he discovered that he was just a caricature.
fictional characters in it.
Now……
Can he continue his luck from that time?
If, on that rainy night...
He didn't see that horrifying scene...
It is absolutely impossible for him to take the crazy step of actively entering this apartment to carry out the Scarlet Mission. After all, in the eyes of anyone, this is an act that is no different from committing suicide.
Sweat flowed down his nose, gradually rolled down to his chin, and then onto his Adam's apple.
Just then...
The footsteps outside the door sounded again, and then began to fade away.
Xia Li breathed a sigh of relief, but even so, his eyes were still locked on the mirror in front of him, and he did not turn on the phone screen.
It wasn't until the footsteps completely faded away that he could no longer hear them, then he turned on the screen of his phone and quickly started speaking in the WeChat group.
Just now, I really walked around the gate of hell. It can be said that I am lucky to be able to survive.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and clutched his chest with his hands.
Xia Li once again deeply realized how fragile his life was.
But... for Xia Li, starting from the day of the Red Wedding... when her mother was dripping with blood from countless bullets, she used her own body to protect herself and smeared the blood on herself, allowing him to escape death.
day, he was already dead.
At that wedding...
All his relatives...all his friends...including his beloved lover since childhood, all fell in a pool of blood.
After that, for him, living was an extremely painful thing.
The most ironic thing is that all the misfortunes he experienced were just to create a dramatic conflict in a comic. Even the readers of the comic did not care about any of the characters who died, because they were all minor characters with few lines.
That’s it. All the death, despair, and tragedy are just a few strokes of the cartoonist’s ink.
Such a thing can be said to be devastating to anyone. As for Xia Li, he even doubted whether he could be considered a person? Can he be considered a living person?
No one can give themselves the answer.
This apartment gave him his last hope. The hope that everyone who died at the Red Wedding could be resurrected. The wish itself cannot resurrect the dead, but the characters in the comics may be able to...
At this time, in the WeChat group... Ghost's latest statement was: I still listened to everyone and ran away.
Everyone said that what he did was correct.
Ghost said: After thinking about it carefully, I was indeed too impulsive just now.
However, Xia Li had different ideas.
Has the ghost... been killed? Is the person sending WeChat messages an evil spirit now?
Of course, if what was outside the door just now was not an evil spirit...
All in all, the ghost's words and actions made him feel too strange. It was as if he was not the same person at all.
The evil spirit killed the ghost, took away his mobile phone, and then pretended to be him to speak... Xia Li thought this possibility was not small.
As the number of murders increases, the evil spirit needs one person to play multiple roles. In this case, flaws may be exposed.
However, Xia Li couldn't figure out how to find this flaw yet.
The way to survive should be to find the loopholes in the evil spirit's speech, so that people can find out that the other party is not a resident. But he has not thought of the key yet.
At present, the mobile phone has not received the footage from the drone surveillance. However, Xia Li actually does not have high hopes for this.
Now... he can't stay in this place for much longer. The evil spirit may come back at any time, and by then, he doesn't know if he can still be so lucky.
…
At this time, Zhu Yuyan gradually began to adapt to this bloody mission.
At this time, she hid her body behind a huge rockery, squatted down, and looked at the WeChat group chat records on her phone.
Because there was a lot of sweat on her forehead, her hair was stained on it. She took a deep breath, and then said to herself: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
Soon, an hour will pass. The first problem is about to take photos and post them on Moments.
Of course, there are many ways to solve this problem. Just take a photo of the sky or a weed, and you can get away with it. However, when you take a photo, you have to turn on the flash, which makes her hair stand on end.
.
She always felt unsteady when shooting towards the sky.
