The Realm of Evil Spirits

(There are more than 100 subscriptions, which is not very ideal. My goal is very low, breaking 24 in 300 hours. I don’t know if everyone can help me achieve my wish. Please!)

Zhang Xiaoxiao threw her mobile phone on the sofa in agitation. Just as she was about to get up to get a bottle of drink from the refrigerator, she heard a series of loud "dong" sounds from upstairs.

It sounded like it was being renovated upstairs, and the ear-splitting bang was that some workers were smashing the wall.

"This damn upstairs, it doesn't stop at night, and it doesn't make people quiet during the day and day!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao was already very annoyed in her heart, but now she was completely ignited by this "boom".She casually found a coat in the closet and put it on, and went out angrily.

Pushing open the door, a very dilapidated staircase came into her sight, giving her the feeling that she was in an old building in the 90s and [-]s.

Zhang Xiaoxiao was only thinking about going upstairs to argue with the family above her head, so she didn't pay much attention to the dilapidated staircase, so she went upstairs directly with two steps.

But when she reached the seventh and a half floors, her hurried steps stopped abruptly.

Because at this moment, she suddenly remembered one thing.

Wait, isn't her house on the top floor?

She remembered very clearly that because it was on the top floor, the average price of her house was lower than those on the lower floors, and she also gave them fine decoration.

In addition, she didn't know how many times she had been here just to see the house before, and she never knew that there was even a floor above her head.

"Strange? Why don't I have any impression?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao doesn't remember that there are still eight floors in this building. The houses in this community are all multi-storey, and the highest is the 7-story top floor.

But right now, the 7th floor is under her feet, and she can clearly see the red door facing the stairs from here.

There is a layer of dark red paint on the door, and there is only this one family on the entire 8th floor. Zhang Xiaoxiao thinks that this room is at least 300 square meters.

The uncomfortable dark red door was slightly open to her. I don't know if it was because the people living inside didn't draw the curtains, so Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was standing on the stairs, couldn't see the inside clearly through the gap in the door.

But what makes Zhang Xiaoxiao very uncomfortable is that she always feels that there is a pair of eyes peeping at her from the crack of the door.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao asked tentatively, but there was no one responding quietly outside the door, and the ear-shattering "boom" she heard in the room before was completely inaudible at this time.

"strangeness!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao muttered, and wanted to go up to have a look, but she felt some inexplicable fear in her heart, so that she stepped on the upper steps with one foot, but the other foot hesitated and refused to step up. .

Just when she was hesitating and didn't know whether to go up or down, the red door was closed with a bang.

"what--!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao was taken aback by the sound of the door closing suddenly, and she was sure in her heart that someone was indeed hiding in the door and peeping at her just now.

"This damned person deliberately scares me!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao was completely irritated this time, and the sudden anger in her heart also burned out the panic that had shrouded her heart.

A few steps to the 8th floor, standing outside the red door that made her feel a little uncomfortable, Zhang Xiaoxiao clenched her fists and knocked loudly:

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there? I'm downstairs..."

After knocking for a while, there was no response from the door.

"Play dead with me, right?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao knocked hard twice again, but there was still no answer in the room.She put her ears on the door and held her breath to listen to the movement inside the door, and it didn't take long for her to gain something.

She vaguely heard a series of "hissing" sounds coming from the door.

It sounds like... like someone is crawling on the ground!

During the process, Zhang Xiaoxiao did not forget to continue to smash the door. At the same time, the "hissing" sound inside the door became louder and louder.

It was as if the thing that was climbing on the ground was approaching the door little by little.

The more Zhang Xiaoxiao listened, the more panicked she became. In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she cursed and ran downstairs quickly.When she opened the door and returned to the house, she vaguely heard a creaking sound of pushing the door, which came from upstairs.

Undoubtedly, the door that she had knocked on for a long time without opening had just been pushed open.

Zhang Xiaoxiao felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart, and this feeling was even worse than the irritability she felt before going upstairs.

The right eyelid twitched again without warning, and she pressed her hand firmly on it, with unconcealable panic already appearing on her face.

Turning on the TV again and changing to a music store, Zhang Xiaoxiao's restless mood gradually calmed down.

I don't know if it was because she didn't have a good rest last night, and her nerves were a little tense before, so that she fell asleep not long after.

When she woke up again, there was no light in the room, it was pitch black, and she could hardly see her fingers.

Reaching for the phone from the sofa, she turned on the screen and found that it was past 8pm, but her husband Zhang Chen still hadn't come back.

"This dead Zhang Chen, the stinky Zhang Chen, told him to come back at night, but he didn't come so late!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao muttered while calling her husband Zhang Chen.The waiting notification sound keeps coming out of the phone, but no one answers the phone for a long time.

"Where do people go when they die?"

Just when Zhang Xiaoxiao wanted to make another call, there was a sudden knock on her door.

"Dong dong dong..."

Zhang Xiaoxiao became a frightened bird again, but thinking that her husband might be back, she hurriedly put on her slippers and ran to the door.

Through some cloudy cat eyes, Zhang Xiaoxiao discovered that the person who knocked on the door was not her husband, but two strangers, two men and one woman, whom she had never seen before.

"Who?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao asked tentatively.

"Hello, may I ask Ms. Zhang Xiaoxiao? We are from the Dongyu District Police Station."

There is no doubt that the three strangers who came to the door were Xia Qi and the other two newcomers.

Xia Qi took out his work card, made a symbolic gesture at the cat's eye, and saw Zhang Xiaoxiao in the room opened the door, and asked strangely:

"What's the matter, is something wrong?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao had no idea what the people from the police station were doing at her house this late at night.

"Is something wrong with my husband?"

Thinking that it might be because of Zhang Chen, Zhang Xiaoxiao's face turned pale in an instant, and asked quickly:

"Did something happen to my husband?"

"What? Are you the only one at home?"

Hearing this, Xia Qi asked back.

"Well, it's just me at home."

Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded anxiously, and asked again:

"Did something happen to my husband?"

"Don't you want something to happen to him?" Shen Ruotong, who was standing behind Xia Qi, was the one who spoke this time.

"What do you mean, how could I want something to happen to my husband!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao glared at Shen Ruotong unhappily, but Shen Ruotong ignored her, and just replied lightly:

"That's good."

"Ms. Zhang." Xia Qi called Zhang Xiaoxiao at this time, then smiled and said:

"Recently, the higher authorities have stepped up strict investigations and asked us to go door-to-door to confirm our identities. We have already verified the houses on the opposite side. This building is short of your house, so I hope you can cooperate with our work and answer a few questions. question."
