Chapter 33 The Sole Survivor
Yes, the armchair moved!
I moved it myself!
My mind went blank and my mouth made some noises, as if a candied haws had died. I couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Liguo, it's Liguo, are you back?"
The old woman widened her eyes, put down the kitchen knife, and walked excitedly to the armchair.
Crunch——
Crunch——
Crunch——
Crunch——
In response to her, the armchair began to shake even more violently.
Dangdangdang——
The old clock on the wall struck twelve o'clock noon.
"Old man, you are finally back..."
The old woman bent her legs, knelt on the ground, stroked the armchair, and cried loudly.
This scene is so weird.
There were no windows in the room and no wind at all.
But the armchair started to shake automatically.
Could it be that it was really Wang Liguo’s ghost that came?
I swallowed without having time to think. After all, this old woman was no less dangerous than a ghost.
While she was sad, I tiptoed past her and then ran away like crazy.
I didn't dare look back, for fear that this crazy woman would chase me with a kitchen knife. I ran out of the tunnel in one breath, panting and gasping for breath.
There were a few old men outside who were still practicing Tai Chi. When they saw my appearance, they all came over and asked me what happened.
I said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me that Wang Liguo's wife had gone crazy?"
Several old men looked ashamed, and one of them said, "I thought you were from the hospital, so I deliberately made you suffer."
I don't understand why people from the hospital have to suffer when they come here. Do you hate hospitals?
"That's not right. The reason why Lao Wang became like this was because of that damn hospital! They knew there was something dirty there, but they still made him keep watch. Isn't that intentional and harmful?"
"Yes, a friend of mine who was in the same industry as me went to see that place and said it was a very dangerous place. Even a person with strong yang energy would get into trouble if they went there, let alone Old He who was ill at the time."
They spoke one after another, all filled with indignation.
I probably understood what they said. They thought I was from the hospital, so they didn't tell me even though they knew Wang Liguo's wife was crazy. They just wanted to make fun of me.
I asked them, how did you know there was dirty stuff there?
"Do I even need to ask? Weird things often happen in that damn place. Lao Wang used to be a cheerful person, but after he came back, he became suspicious and crazy... By the way, there were several night watchmen before and after him, and some of them died or went crazy. Who would believe that there is nothing wrong with that place?" an old man snorted.
Hearing this, I became even more panicked.
It turns out that everyone who enters Building D cannot escape a tragic fate?
Even someone like Lao Wang, who had left Building D for a long time, got into trouble.
And from the old woman's description, it was clear that Lao He's death was not simple and was most likely done by the baby boy in black.
I once thought that as long as I didn't go to Ward 404, I would be safe and would not encounter the baby boy in black. But from yesterday's surveillance, it was obvious that Ward 404 could not trap the baby boy in black, and he could enter and exit freely like a vegetable garden door.
I took out a cigarette, lit it, put it in my mouth, took a deep puff, and frowned.
Things had obviously reached a very scary point. Perhaps from the moment I stepped into Building D, some unknown hand in the darkness had already left its mark on me.
A brand that cannot be escaped no matter where you go...
…
After leaving the Land Bureau Civilized Community, I hailed a taxi and headed towards the home of the second night watchman, Cai Kun.
I felt inexplicably worried.
Even Wang Liguo was killed by the dirty things, can Cai Kun escape?
If Cai Kun died too, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to me.
Looking at the scenery whizzing , I felt an indescribable irritation in my heart.
"The vast ocean laughs, the tides on both sides rise and fall with the waves, only remember that the sky laughs today..."
The cell phone suddenly rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was Cheng Xiaoyan calling.
"Hey, Xiaoyan, what's wrong?"
"Zhiyong, I heard from Chen Wei that you took a leave today and didn't go to school, right?" Cheng Xiaoyan said on the phone.
"Oh, yes, I have something to investigate." I nodded.
There was silence for a few seconds before a voice came out: "So, will you be back tonight?"
I was stunned: "Where to go?"
"Building D, will you come back?" Cheng Xiaoyan said.
I laughed and teased her, asking her if she missed me.
"Stop messing around. I'm serious. Will you come back tonight?" Cheng Xiaoyan said.
I said, "Of course I will go back. I will not go to work, but my salary will be deducted."
"Oh, I think you'd better not go back." Cheng Xiaoyan said after hesitating for a moment.
"What?" I suspected that I had heard it wrongly, and asked, "Why? Xiaoyan, are you hiding something from me?"
"No, no, anyway... I'm doing this for your own good. Try not to go back to Building D tonight." Cheng Xiaoyan said.
I was confused: "If you don't let me go back, you have to give a reason."
"Because tonight is the night of the full moon."
"ah?"
Beep, beep, beep…
The phone hung up.
I felt confused.
What the hell is going on? On this full moon night, why can't we go back to Building D?
Zhen was thinking about the meaning of Cheng Xiaoyan's words. The car stopped on the side and the driver said, "We've arrived."
After paying and getting off the bus, I walked into the Muyang Lake Community, asked a security guard, and found No. 13, Zone C that Lao He mentioned.
This is a newly built residential area nearby. A large company has joined the community. It is quite famous. The housing prices are not cheap . It is completely different from the tube building where Wang Liguo lives. I didn’t expect Cai Kun to be quite rich. I just don’t understand why he risked his life to be a night watchman in Building D since he has some money in his pocket?
I came to Cai Kun's house and knocked on the door.
Not long after, the door opened and a middle-aged woman in her 40s stood inside. Except for her haggard face, her appearance and temperament were pretty good, and her figure was plump.
She looked at me warily and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
With the old lady's lesson in mind, I decided to make my purpose clear before entering the door.
"I'm from the hospital."
"oh."
I thought women would be disgusted with me.
On the contrary, her eyes lit up and she asked me to wait while she changed her clothes first.
I was confused. Why did I need to change clothes to meet a guest?
After a few minutes, the woman opened the door and let me in.
The room is very big, it's a duplex, almost two hundred square meters. The furniture inside is all brand new, and there is a very exquisite carpet on the floor. It's obvious that a lot of money was spent on the decoration.
"Is Cai Kun at home?" I asked.
The woman's face sank, and she said unhappily, "Nonsense, he's like this now, where else can he go if not at home?"
I wondered, “How is he?”
The woman suddenly stopped, looked at me suspiciously, and said, "Are you from the hospital?"
I quickly said of course.
“Since you are from the hospital, how come you don’t know that KunKun has gone crazy!” The woman looked at me coldly.
