Chapter 50: Little Su Qingxing
Zhou Rui is a single aristocrat who has just passed his thirty-fifth birthday. He has a stable job, his own real estate and means of transportation, insists on fitness, has dinner at least once a week, and has at least two meals a year. travel and live a life that you consider full and satisfying.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Rui, who is dressed in formal clothes and wears glasses at work, is also a rare intellectual beauty. But... just a little bit older.
On that day, Zhou Rui was the same as usual. After returning from get off work, she was just about to change her clothes and go out for a run, but as soon as she opened the wardrobe, she was spinning for a while, and after a period of confusion, she found herself Appeared in a completely unfamiliar place?
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp;
Just as Zhou Rui sat up from the thick carpeted floor, she saw a yellow-haired young man who looked very bad on the opposite side rolling on the ground profusely with sweat, he just held down his neck, His whole face turned red, and his neck was in so much pain that it "exploded". As soon as he took a breath, he continued to let out a series of screams, and the sweat instantly wet the white T-shirt he was wearing.
Although I don't know what happened, Zhou Rui, an outsider, can feel the pain of the yellow hair, and the pain and struggle looks like a character who has been slashed several times in a TV series .
But even the most skilled actors may not be able to show such real pain.
The most strange thing is that the yellow hair has no wounds on his body, it can even be said that he is unharmed.
And the bald head was holding a long and sharp watermelon knife in his hand!
"Ah!" Even Zhou Rui couldn't help shouting.
"Little brother, are you alright?" The middle-aged man who looked ordinary couldn't bear to walk up to the yellow hair, and pressed his struggling hands, "What's the matter with you? Where is the discomfort?"
Where do you feel, or do you feel pain somewhere?"
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" But after breathing, the whole talent calmed down while panting heavily.
"How can this happen...how can this happen..." After Zhou Rui saw that the yellow hair had calmed down, she chatted like an old man again, checking her neck for a while, and checking herself for a while heartbeat, "How is it possible, I should have died, obviously..."
A person who doesn't seem normal. After Zhou Rui made her own judgment, she also began to recover from the initial confusion and overwhelm, and began to look at the environment around her.
This seems to be a mansion...the kind that she can't afford to work for her whole life, because the ceilings are two stories high, and the large chandeliers are simple-looking large gourd strings, reflecting the interior be like daytime.
The decor also looks modern, with a staircase leading to the second floor next to it, a second floor corridor and a row of dark rooms.
The place where Zhou Rui is now should be the hall on the ground floor, and there is a door next to it that should lead to the outside of the villa.
…and an old man with a goatee and a dashing look sitting on a sofa.
No, there is one more!
After the bald man moved away from the front of the sofa, Zhou Rui saw a child who had not woken up lying on the sofa behind him.
The child was about five years old and was lying on the sofa with a white-haired puppy on his side. His peaceful sleeping face was like a porcelain doll. Take a few more glances.
The boy's dream didn't seem to be peaceful, his long eyelashes trembled from time to time, but there was no sign of waking up.
Feel.
"Where are we?" Zhou Rui subconsciously stayed away from where the bald man was, so when she saw the opposite direction walking towards her, Zhou Rui pretended to move her steps naturally, as if going around in circles The same goes to the other side of the sofa...that is, near the little boy.
"I don't know, I was here when I woke up." The chunky middle-aged man was also puzzled. He was looking at the uniform clothes of a supermarket, and he was still hanging Listings with avatars that look like supermarket staff.
"The owner here looks very rich." The old man sitting on the sofa touched the long beard on his chin. The man not only looked like a fairy, but also looked very calm. , "Maybe we were specially invited to be guests here."
"Hmph, you're wrong to think so."
Zhou Rui looked at the bald man who had just spoken, and found that this guy had a smug expression on his face, as if he had some understanding of their current situation, but he was holding back very badly. Say.
It is precisely because of the existence of this bald man with a knife that Zhou Rui has an urge to leave the hall.
"Boo!" The chandelier on the ceiling flashed, and then the entire ground floor hall seemed to trip, and plunged into darkness!
Zhou Rui was standing next to the sofa, but when the lights went out, her eyes couldn't adapt for a while, she only felt that the surroundings were completely black, and she couldn't even tell who was standing where. clear.
At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hall! The sudden flash of lightning lit up the hall in an instant, and then returned to darkness again.
After the lightning, there was another thunderous sound, making everyone in the living room turn to look at the floor-to-ceiling windows ahead.
Maybe it was because the lights in the hall were too bright just now, so Zhou Rui didn't notice the situation outside the villa. But when Zhou Rui's eyes got used to the darkness in front of her eyes, she gradually saw the blurry night outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as the rainstorm and tree branches that were constantly beating on the floor-to-ceiling windows!
It's raining heavily outside, and it looks like it's already raging!
The sound of lightning, thunder, and violent storms hitting the window kept reaching Zhou Rui's ears, making her temporarily give up the idea of leaving the villa.
After all, such a bad night is not suitable for an ordinary unarmed woman to go out.
"It seems that no matter what happened, we have to spend the night here." The voice from the darkness seemed to belong to the supermarket uncle, and he also expressed Zhou Rui's heart .
Although there is some light in the night outside the window, the living room is still dark. Armrest of sofa.
While Zhou Rui was groping for the armrest of the sofa, she suddenly felt something cold touching her arm!
"Ah!" Zhou Rui couldn't help exclaiming.
The lights that were originally extinguished snapped back on, making the whole living room on the first floor back to the bright daytime feeling just now, and Zhou Rui just getting used to the dark eyes Couldn't help closing it again.
But because the cold touch on the arm was still there, Zhou Rui immediately threw it away, took a step back in a hurry, and struggled to open the somewhat stinging eyes!
However... Zhou Rui didn't see anything scary, she just saw the little boy who was sleeping woke up, a pair of beautiful black eyes looked at her like this, stretched forward 's little hands are also hanging in the air.
"Just now, was your hand touching me?" Looking at the delicate and lovely boy in front of her, Zhou Rui stepped forward apologetically and carefully touched the boy's cold hand, "Sorry, I don't know..."
"It's all right." The boy's face was expressionless at first, but when he looked at Zhou Rui, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was very cute.
Although she didn't understand why the boy's hand was so cold, Zhou Rui felt a little embarrassed when she saw the cute smile in front of her, and then thought that she had thrown the boy's hand away so hard just now. After seeing a plate of peaches on the coffee table next to the sofa, Zhou Rui handed a peaches to the boy as if to please.
"Would you like a peach?"
"Well." The boy obediently took the peach from Zhou Rui's hand, then he held the little white dog in one hand and the peach in the other, and sat obediently on the sofa, shaking the little boy from time to time. leg.
I feel like a very cute child.
The most normal Zhou Rui smiled, "My name is Zhong Tian. I'm just an ordinary person who works in a supermarket. I have a wife and children at home. I don't know if they are in a hurry now."
Zhong Tian turned through his pockets as he spoke, and then sighed and said, "Hey, I don't know where the phone went. It seems that it's better to wait until dawn to find a way out."
"Old man Xuanyi." The second self-introduction was the old man who was sitting on the sofa shaking his head, "Every day, feng shui divination is perfect."
a bit."
"Catch...catch ghosts, too, it's just a little trick." Although Xuan Yi was sitting upright, his tone did not sound very confident.
"Beauty, what's your name?" The bald man rubbed the watermelon knife on his jeans, and then looked at Zhou Rui with a bad look, "From now on, We're on the same boat."
"My surname is Zhou, and I have a single name with the word stamen, the stamen of a stamen." Zhou Rui didn't look at the bald man, but nodded to the supermarket uncle named Zhong Tian on the other side, "It's just An ordinary company employee."
"Not good, not good!" Huang Mao, who had always been very unstable, hugged his head and got up from the carpet, looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window in a panic, and seemed to see something again Like something terrible, he instantly indented into the sofa opposite the boy, "There is something terrible out there! Something terrible is out there!!"
"You shout again, I will cut you first, and then throw you out of this door!" The bald man glared at Huang Mao fiercely, but the other's mental state seemed to make him He didn't notice what the bald man said at all, and maybe he didn't even see such a person exist.
"Horrible, terrifying, terrifying..." Huang Mao shrunk in the sofa, burying his entire head, murmuring to himself many words and words that Zhou Rui could not understand at all.
“Boom! Boom!”
When it was quiet, Zhou Rui could still hear the rain outside and the sudden knock on the door!
Then, Zhou Rui heard the bald man asking the little boy who was seriously eating peaches to open the door. Although Zhou Rui didn't like the bald man giving orders, the watermelon knife in the other's hand really made people feel A little scared, so Zhou Rui did not continue to speak under the coercion of the other party's force.
Besides, although it is windy and rainy outside, it doesn't matter if you open the door, maybe the person standing outside knocking on the door at the moment, maybe even the people in this villa.
"Don't open the door, the danger is just outside the door!" Huang Mao's spirit now seems extremely fragile, and even has a feeling of fragmentation, "Don't open the door!"
The strong wind and torrential rain outside pushed the door open instantly, and the violent storm swept in from the outside. The smell of rain, leaves and soil all poured into the villa at this moment, but the sound of wind and rain pouring in Among…
There seems to be some ominous atmosphere mixed in.
There was no one outside the door, and the knock on the door just now seemed to have never existed.
"In...they're in!"
Huangmao's voice can't be heard in Zhou Rui's ears, the wind and torrential rain outside the villa is still pouring into the hall, and the branches outside the window beat again and again on the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sound is really It makes my head hurt.
Zhou Rui didn't know where the courage came from, she rushed over to close the door two or three times, and very neatly took the boy's cold little hand, led him all the way back to the sofa, and took the After eating the peach that was soaked with rain, he brought a new peach for the boy and touched his little hand to show his comfort.
A series of movements were done in one go, making Zhou Rui who stopped to feel a little handsome. When she found that everyone in the hall was staring at her, Zhou Rui cleared her throat and explained, "It's the most basic principle to close the doors and windows to collect clothes in such a heavy rain, right?"
"
"Maybe it's the movement of the branches being blown to the door by the wind?" Elder Xuanyi guessed while feeling his white beard.
"There are trees outside the window, and there is only a straight road outside the door." Zhou Rui was usually regarded as the successor of socialism and had no other beliefs, but now he Feel something is not right.
They appeared in this villa that seemed to have no owner for no reason.
Six people do not know each other, but they have to stay here for various reasons.
It was a violent storm outside, and there was a sudden knock on the door. But when the door opened, there was no one outside.
Then who knocked on the door just now, what was it?
"Hohohoho." The bald man standing next to him with a watermelon knife smiled knowingly, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Zhou Rui and the others worried, as if Especially enjoy this feeling.
After looking around again, Zhou Rui chose to focus on the boy. Among these people, this child seemed to be the only one who made Zhou Rui feel seductive enough, except that her hands were cold and cold. Besides, he is a good boy with a warm smile.
In Zhou Rui's eyes, the boy who got a new peach looked at the peach in his hand very seriously, then went straight to the opposite sofa, and handed the peach in his hands to his face Painful yellow hair.
"Have a peach?" Along with the peach, the boy gave a warm smile, "The mood will also improve!"
Is this child an angel? !
Is this child an angel? !
For thirty-five years, Zhou Rui, who never felt that she was missing something in her life, suddenly had the urge to raise a child, especially this kind of good-looking, well-behaved and warm one in front of her. Variety!
"Hey, haven't you seen the children worrying about you?" Zhou Rui couldn't help but walked over and patted Huang Mao's forehead, "Why are you afraid of things that even children are not afraid of? Like this?!"
Perhaps it was the boy's peach and Zhou Rui's words that had an effect. Although Huang Mao was still curled up there, he finally stopped talking nervously, and instead stretched out his hand to take it from the boy's hand. Peaches, just staring at him blankly.
"Little brother, when you opened the door just now, did you say that your name was Su Qingxing?" Zhou Rui bent down slightly, "Do you know where your family is now?"
The boy shook his head, turned back to the sofa opposite, touched the little white dog that was there just now, stretched out his hand on the sofa for a little support, and then climbed on the sofa with all his strength and sat down. in the original place.
What does shaking your head mean?
What happened to Xiaoqingxing's parents?
Zhou Rui didn't dare to think about the story behind that shaking his head, but she felt that she felt more distressed for the child in front of her.
The boy named Su Qingxing sat quietly on the sofa, helping the little white dog in his arms to smoothen his hair again and again.
"I remember I should be dead." After a while, the yellow hair curled up on the sofa said dryly, "That feeling is too real, I don't even want that pain anymore The second time, if it's a dream...how can it make people feel so painful?"
"My name is Huang Lan, I don't...have no job." After reluctantly introducing himself, the yellow hair named Huang Lan shrank back again, as if he hadn't been able to get out of his dream of being killed. Come back to your senses.
"You said just now that something came in from outside the door?" Zhou Rui asked again curiously.
But this time, Huang Lan, who was curled up on the sofa, just trembled and didn't say a word.
"Buzz...buzz...buzz..."
Just when everyone didn't know what to do next, the big TV in the living room suddenly lit up.
The people who were startled didn't realize what picture was broadcast on the TV, they first heard the news broadcast from the TV-
“…It is reported that the perpetrator has been in and out of the villa in the secluded and quiet place many times, and has caused at least three consecutive murders…”
When Zhou Rui heard the words "murderer", "remote and secluded villa" and "killing the family", her heart suddenly trembled. A strange feeling told Zhou Rui that the sudden turn on of the TV and the sudden appearance of this news were no coincidence.
"Hey, hey, hey..." The supermarket uncle Zhong Tian was originally standing closest to the gate, but now he suddenly stepped back, "The knock on the door just now, couldn't be the murder... murderer Bar?"
"Okay, now I announce that everyone in this villa must obey my command, you shouldn't have any objections?" When he was confused, a bald man with a watermelon knife stood up, "If you have any objections, just ask the knife in my hand and see who among you can beat it!"
Speaking, the bald man looked at the other five people in the hall, and said disdainfully: "Is that the yellow-haired man who can scare himself to death? That old god? That fat man? Or A little devil like that little girl?"
"Or are you going to do it yourself, beauty?" The bald man stared at Zhou Rui for a while, "After I find a comfortable bed, you can do whatever you want."
"Bah!" Zhou Rui glared at the bald man, but didn't say anything after all, for fear that this guy who looked like a desperado would really do something to her. Before leaving this villa, Zhou Rui had to think of a way to stay as far away from this bald man as possible!
"Uncle."
The soft voice interrupted Zhou Rui's thoughts. As soon as she turned her head, she saw that the boy named Su Qingxing looked up at the bald man and asked, "Uncle wants to be the boss here. ?"
"Boss?" The bald man raised his eyebrows, "It's a good name, but I prefer you to call me Brother Guang, it's more friendly, right? As long as you are obedient, no matter if it's a serial killer Or a lonely ghost, I will use this watermelon knife to chop him in half, how about it?"
Looking at the muscles on the bald man's arm, and the watermelon knife that looked particularly sharp - Zhou Rui even saw some dark marks on the knife, which looked like It's blood... In short, everyone was silent, obviously no one planned to compete with this brother Guang for the leader's position.
"Then listen to me now." Brother Guang pointed to the direction of the second floor, "Beauty, go to the second floor with your child to observe some terrain, see how many floors there are in the whole villa, and how many there are. A room for people.”
"The fat man and the old magician over there also went to the study and other places to see if they could find some photo albums or other clues about this family."
"And you." Brother Guang directly kicked the yellow hair huddled on the sofa, "Young and strong, but not useful at all, just like a waste Same!"
Even if she said that, Huang Lan still shrank there, looking down as if she didn't dare to look around.
"Forget it, you'll be guarding in this living room." After that, Brother Guang urged everyone to leave, and he himself took the lead in walking towards the half-open kitchen next to him.
"The scum is not scary, what is scary is the scum with brains." Seeing Brother Guang walking into the kitchen, Zhou Rui couldn't help but muttered. Even Zhou Rui knew that Brother Guang's goal should be the knives that can be used in the kitchen.
Since Brother Guang regards himself as the head here, he will never allow others to have weapons that can be resisted.
However, when someone came out to give an order, Zhou Rui's feeling of being overwhelmed at first eased a lot, at least she now knows what to do.
"You stay here." The boy also jumped off the sofa, patted the little white dog lying there, and gave a serious warning before walking to Zhou Rui's side.
The cute little appearance seems to really think that the little white dog can understand what he said.
Zhou Rui reached out to the boy subconsciously, but the boy didn't seem to notice at all, and walked to the stairs leading to the second floor alone. And Zhou Rui, who failed to hold hands, could only quickly follow behind the boy and walk to the second floor.
Although the lobby on the first floor is very bright, it also makes the section of the road at the railing on the second floor bright and visible. But the two rooms in that corridor are the study room and the reception room, so Zhou Rui, who needs to find the bedroom and guest room, must go deeper into the corridor.
Last week, Rui saw a lot of light switches, but each switch seemed to be ineffective, and no light could be turned on at all!
This means that the road ahead of them will be dark, and they can only continue to **** in the dark.
"Qingxing, please follow me closely, okay? Don't run around!" Zhou Rui's mind could often see the gust of wind that rushed in when the door was opened, and That yellow-haired voice shouted at that time.
So even if there is no one but them in this villa, Zhou Rui does not think they are completely safe!
"Yeah." In the darkness, a boy's voice came, which reassured Zhou Rui a little.
Two people, one big and one small, groped forward along the increasingly dark corridor. The light coming from the hall on the first floor at the back could barely make Zhou Rui distinguish the doors. s position.
Zhou Rui would not close the door when she left the room, hoping that the dark corridor could be illuminated by these extremely weak lights.
When she reached the end of the corridor on the second floor, Zhou Rui saw the stairs leading to the third floor unsurprisingly.
But if they go to the third floor, it means saying goodbye to the only light source on the second floor. If the lights on the third floor still can't be turned on, they will definitely be faced with pitch blackness where they can't see their fingers!
Because she found that Qingxing was not by her side, Zhou Rui looked back subconsciously.
The next second... Zhou Rui's pupils narrowed, and she stared stiffly at the scene in front of her—
Little Su Qingxing just stood at the door of an open room, gesturing in the air, Zhou Rui could even hear the boy saying "...Your room...go to bed...later Come and play with you..." something like that!
It's almost as if there is an invisible person in the room talking to Su Qingxing!
"Qingxing, you, who are you talking to?" Zhou Rui swallowed hard.
"Huh?" The little boy tilted his head and said innocently, "And this child in the family, she is inviting me to play with her."
Immediately, Zhou Rui completely gave up her plan to go to the third floor, turned around and picked up the boy who didn't respond, and rushed to the brightest place on the second floor!
After reaching the corridor where you can see the first floor, Zhou Rui walked down the stairs without stopping, directly back to the hall with the brightest light, panting and putting the boy back on the sofa, she also He fell directly into the sofa.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Zhou Rui returning so quickly, Brother Guang's face was a little dissatisfied, "Is there no third floor in this villa?"
Even Xuan Yi and Zhong Tian, who were looking for information in the study on the second floor, stuck their heads out, not understanding why Zhou Rui hurried past the door just now, as if someone was chasing him like her.
"I remember the old man once said..." Zhou Rui took a deep breath, "The child's eyes are very special, you can see a lot of things that we can't see... I, I feel that Qingxing just now seems to be in the second I saw something like that!"
"That kind of thing?"
The one is Zhong Tian standing on the second floor.
"It's a ghost." Zhou Rui said the answer directly, then turned to ask the boy beside her, "Qingxing, tell my sister, what did you see when you opened the door just now?"
The boy blinked his eyes and said calmly, "I seem to see an uncle and an aunt with a little girl about my age."
"But when I was about to greet them, they disappeared again." The boy said and pointed to the second floor, "But when I was upstairs just now, I saw the little boy again. girl, so I said hi to her."
"What did that girl say?" Brother Guang squatted down and looked at Su Qingxing.
"She said that the room upstairs was her room, and no one else could go in." The child answered questions obediently, "and said that this was her and her parents' home, and now they came back…"
Now they're back...
They are back...
Back!
The boy said this sentence in an innocent chatter tone, but everyone present felt a chill behind him and a creepy feeling.
"It looks like we guessed wrong." The bald man stood up and wiped the watermelon knife on his jeans, "At first I thought the person knocking on the door was a serial murderer. That message popped up just to remind us that this villa could be the next target for a serial killer."
"But we guessed it completely wrong." The bald man's face was a little ugly, "This is not the next target of serial killers."
"It's...a scene that has been visited by the murderer! The family members have long been killed by the murderer! And now, the soul of the murdered villa owner's family has also been Come back here!"
"It's you." Zhou Rui's voice trembled, and her fingers trembled as she pointed at the bald man, "You asked Qingxing to open the door, if we didn't open the door just now, maybe those three Ghosts won't come in!"
"It's useless!" The bald man glared at Zhou Rui viciously, "Do you think they won't be able to enter their house without opening the door? That knocking on the door is no big deal at all, it just reminds us The safe time is over, and the real horror world has just begun!"
"Safe time?"
"Terror world?"
Zhou Rui and others present heard these two words for the first time, so they all looked at Brother Guang blankly.
Brother Guang didn't seem to intend to explain, just slashed at the air with the watermelon knife in his hand, and said: "It's just three ghosts, what's so great, if those If the guy is very strong, how can he be killed so easily?"
"We, we can get out of here!" Huang Lan, who had been shrinking on the sofa, suddenly raised his head, "We can get out of here, the ghost villa and the storm outside, in the end... Which is more terrifying? Some?"
For a while, everyone really didn't know how to choose.
Because Xiaoqingxing opened the villa door just now, it means that this villa is not completely blocked, and they can leave from this villa completely.
But when the door opened just now, Zhou Rui once glanced at it, and there was only a tortuous road outside the villa, and she had no idea where it would spread.
"What if there are ghosts outside?" Brother Guang smiled sarcastically, "If this kind of place could escape so easily, I wouldn't have been tossed to this point again and again!"
"Pop!"
Just when several people could not discuss the answer, the chandelier in the hall was turned off again!
When the hall became dark, everyone held their breath subconsciously, and no one dared to make a sound.
"Pop!" In just a few seconds, the chandelier lights up again!
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly saw...suddenly...suddenly saw two ghosts covered in blood standing on the stairs next to the hall! !
One was wearing a blood-stained white nightdress, with messy long hair and a pale face.
A shirt and trousers covered in blood, but the head is missing!
."
Everyone gasped, this... What is this development?
Only Xiao Qingxing, who was completely unnoticed, raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
It seems that cinnabar has designed another very interesting world.
