Super Thrilling Live Broadcast Chapter 718: The Invisible Family (Part 2)
The rotten apples gave off an unpleasant smell, and the thick juice that flowed out stuck to the boy's coat. He looked a little cautious, with his dirty hands guarding his stomach, for fear that the rotten apples would fall.
"Are you going to take these things back?" I looked at the little boy, and I had countless questions in my heart: "You live in a red building, have you been rummaging through trash for a living? What about your family?"
The boy looked at me timidly, and he didn't dare to move while standing beside the tea table, only shaking his head occasionally.
"It's really hard to communicate." I watched the boy's every move, and I saw the deep anxiety hidden on his face, and I felt a little unbearable. .
I touched his head: "Where do you usually live? Can you show me?" The feeling from the palm was very strange, the boy's hair was hard, but his skin was wrinkled, I don't know if it's because of long-term malnutrition or other reasons, but in terms of texture, this child's skin is much rougher than that of his peers, and it feels like an old man in his sixties or seventies.
Same.
After listening to my words, the boy nodded slightly. He held the rotten apples in both hands, and walked past me cautiously.
"Wait." I stretched out my hand to hold his shoulder, and when my fingers touched him, I could clearly feel his body trembling slightly, as if he had been frightened.
All kinds of strange things about the boy made me suspicious.
Raising the hand holding the black bag, I pointed to the red wooden door: "Was the door unlocked when you came in?"
The boy turned around in a daze, like a puppet, and nodded his head stiffly. I knew I couldn't ask anything, so I didn't delve into it. I sighed and walked out of the room with him.
Pushing open the wooden door, there was a dead silence in the corridor, which was scarier than ghosts. "The seventh floor..." The resident of the seventh floor disappeared only recently. I originally wanted to find out the reason for his disappearance, which would be of great help to me in exploring the red building, but after meeting the little boy, I temporarily changed my mind , decided to find out the secret of this child first. After all, it is as big as the Red Mansion
Compared to people, a child is much easier to deal with.
There is a safe passage at the corner of the seventh and eighth floors, and I can’t see what is at the end of the passage even if I use my judgment: “The elevators in the building should be installed to enter other units in the red building along the safe passage. There."
Although I have no past, I can faintly feel the danger there. Every step in the red building seems to be peaceful, but in fact, if I make a wrong step, I am afraid that I will fall into the abyss, and there is no possibility of turning over.
"The little boy is a breakthrough. Even if he refuses to talk to me, I still have a way to deduce some clues through his various living habits." After closing the door of the seventh-floor rental house, I held the boy's shoulders and talked with him Back to the sixth floor together: "Which one is your home?"
The boy seemed to understand what I meant. He held the apple in one hand, and reached into his collar with the other hand, and took out a bunch of dirty keys.
"It turned out to be hanging around the neck."
The key the boy took out is the same style as the one I snatched from Bai Ya'er, only the tooth marks are different.
He was holding the apple, and approached the iron door awkwardly. Because he was too short, he stood on tiptoe to insert the key into the lock.
This was a very common movement, but what I didn't expect was that he was too nervous, he leaned over, and one of the rotten apples in his arms fell out.
The moldy and spoiled apple rolled down the stairs, and my heart was suspended for an instant. Time seemed to slow down, and my eyes followed the apple.
Before the body had time to react, the apple had already rolled into the gap between the handrails of the stairs.
Coincidentally, the rotten apple fell from the sixth floor, knocked against the iron handrail, and finally smashed in front of Doctor Zhang's door on the fourth floor with a "bang".
Speaking of which, the sound of the apple falling was not too loud, but the corridor was really too quiet, which caused the sound to spread far away.
I lay down next to the handrail and looked down. When I saw that the voice-activated lights on the first floor were also turned on, my face suddenly turned pale.
"Not good!"
I have judgment eyes, and I can see clearly from a condescending height. Under the illumination of the voice-activated lights, there is a pair of wet footprints running up the clean concrete stairs at high speed!
Obviously there is no one, but the footprints are getting faster and faster!
"It's approaching me?! It was the sound of the falling apple that attracted it! Damn, what is this!"
Even if I use the judgment eye, I still can't see it, only those fast-moving footprints are left in my field of vision.
"Is it the 'it' that Zhu Li said?" Thoughts collided like sparks. Before I could come up with an answer, when I looked down again, the footprints had already appeared on the second floor!
At this moment, something worse happened, the voice-activated lights on the first floor suddenly went out!
I clearly knew that there was something running up the corridor at high speed, but I couldn't see it. The feeling of suffocation against every second made my chest tight.
"There is only one way to get out now." I turned around and walked towards the little boy. He didn't realize the danger was coming, holding an apple in one hand, and looking for the keyhole of the wooden door with the other hand.
"It's too late!" I grabbed the key around his neck, and without caring about the child's feelings, I led him to open the red wooden door, then pushed him directly into the house, and followed closely behind.
It was so flustered that I didn't even close the iron door outside, but re-locked the red wooden door inside.
"Shut up, don't talk!" I didn't dare to turn on the light, so I pulled the boy against the wooden door and held my breath.
One second, two seconds...
Half a minute passed, and there was still no movement outside the door, it was too quiet.
"That thing is gone? Or... is it just squatting outside the door now, just separated from me by a wooden door?" My palm was full of sweat, and I took a deep breath to calm down my violently beating heart , and then lay on the crack of the wooden door and looked out.
The corridor was quiet again, it was pitch black, with a hint of coldness, and the air seemed to be mixed with the dampness of rain.
"It seems to have come..." Looking out from the crack of the door, there is a visual blind spot, so I'm not sure that thing has left.
With a frightened look away, my tense muscles eased, and only then did I have time to look at the little boy's home.
"Shoe cabinets, tables and chairs, wardrobe..." halfway through, I realized something was wrong. The architectural layout of the boy's house was the same as that of other people's houses, but the furniture inside was very small, as if it was specially designed for boys. Made to measure.
There is no sofa in the house, the dining table in the living room is as high as the tea table in Bai Ya'er's house, and there are three dilapidated wooden chairs with moldy spots beside it.
"Three chairs? Do the extra two belong to the boy's parents?" I groped on the wall for a while, but couldn't find the light switch. I followed the boy into the living room with doubts.
The boy didn't turn on the light either. He seemed to have gotten used to the darkness. He placed the spoiled apples on the dining table and divided them into three parts fairly.
Seeing the boy's strange behavior, I felt a chill run up my spine, and I muttered to myself, is there anyone else in this room?
The boy ran into the kitchen and took out two plates, and put the divided apples into them, leaving only the one for himself on the coffee table.
"This is for your mother and father? Can you take me to see them?" I asked in a low voice, but the boy neither refused nor agreed, and he entered the bedroom with the plate.
The door was pushed open, and there was a faint smell in the room. After careful identification, it was not the smell of moldy things.
The layout of the bedroom is similar to that of the living room, the bed is very low, the bedding is damp, and mold has grown on the corners.
"Is there no one else in the room?" My five senses are far more sensitive than ordinary people, and if there are other people hidden in the room, I can't hide it from me. "The rental house is so big, and everything is lower and pocket-sized than normal, and it can't hide an adult at all." I thought so in my heart, but I was not sure, because there were two pairs of clothes next to the bed. The adult's slippers, what's interesting is that the placement of these two pairs of slippers is very special
No, all the toes are facing the bed.
"Just now when the boy went to the kitchen to pick up things, I followed him. No matter the kitchen or the bathroom, all the utensils are for three people. Judging from these details, there should be three people living in the house."
I couldn't figure it out at all, I was leaning against the bedroom door with the severed hand, and was about to see what the boy was going to do next, when I suddenly found him stopped in place, holding the plate in both hands, with an indescribable expression looked at me strangely.
It's hard to imagine that I'd be terrified by a child, and with a wry smile, I walked towards him: "What do you want me to do?"
The boy didn't speak, and as soon as I left the bedroom door, he walked right past me, put down the plate and closed the bedroom door.
"You are..." Before I finished speaking, the remaining half of the sentence got stuck in my throat, and I stared at the bedroom door.
Behind this ordinary door, there is a mirror that is as tall as a person!
The lights in the room were not turned on, the mirror was blurry, and two black shadows could be vaguely seen.
"Why is there a mirror behind the door?" I blurted out, and then suddenly realized a very critical question. After I entered the red building, this seemed to be the first time I saw a mirror! "That's right, I didn't see any mirrors in the houses of Zhu Li and Bai Ya'er." Now that I think about it, it's very abnormal. It's understandable that Zhu Li and the doctor don't have mirrors at home, but Bai Ya'er, as a body model, It's unreasonable that a woman who loves beauty doesn't have a mirror at home.
Solved. "I saw cosmetics in her bathroom, but I didn't find the mirror, yes, how could I have overlooked such a crucial point!" A thought suddenly appeared in my mind: "The mirror should have a special meaning in the red building, and the mirror should have a special meaning in the red building." The first optional task in the show is related to the mirror..."
