Chapter 1256 Ask for help, a supernatural event that is frightening!
"Dingdong~Dingdong~" the doorbell rang at the right time.
Li Xuehao had already noticed someone coming before the doorbell rang. There were two people coming, not ordinary people. They were gloomy on their bodies, which was the only service power of Onmyoji. Although they were not sufficient, they were never ordinary people. This was also the reason why they would stare at the door at 4:30. It also sensed the unusualness of the visitor, because if it were an ordinary person, it would not care at all.
Li Xuehao opened the door, and there were two people standing outside, one man and one woman.
The man is about thirty years old, in a suit and ties, with a medium figure, about 1.7 meters. Although he looks a little ordinary, he wears glasses and is gentle and looks very much like a teacher who teaches and educates people.
The woman is about the same age, wearing ordinary home clothes, and has a petite figure, maybe only about 1.5 meters, but her temperament is very good, giving people the feeling of being a gentle housewife who cares for her husband and children at home.
"Hello." The two of them were slightly surprised when they saw that the young man opened the door, and immediately greeted him politely.
"Are you?" Li Xuehao looked at the two of them in confusion. He had never seen each other before. Moreover, as a man and a woman, they had no evil spirit on their bodies, which means they did not raise Shikigami at all, which is rare in Onmyoji.
The woman was probably a little restrained, and the gentle man wearing glasses said, "Is Miss Chiba Sayuri from Chiba Shrine living here?"
It turned out that they were here to find Sayuri Chiba. Li Xuehao didn't know how the two found this place, but he still responded politely: "Yes."
"I am Saburo Sugimoto. This is my wife, Tomoko Sugimoto. We were guided by the abbot of Chiba and came to find Miss Chiba specifically." The gentle man said politely.
"Mr. Sugimoto, Madam Sugimoto, please come in." After hearing the two of them, Li Xuehao politely invited them in.
"I'm disturbing!" Sugimoto Saburo and his wife said politely, and walked in carefully.
At the entrance, Li Xuehao brought the two of them the slippers they had changed.
The Sugimoto couple were polite and also looked at the environment on the scene. There was a very cute little girl and a very cute puppy on the stage. The furry puppy was wearing a weird vest, which looked a little funny.
However, as guests, the two of them naturally would not be so rude. Mrs. Sugimoto just smiled at the cute little girl friendly.
Because of her special physique, Katoko Mizuhashi could feel the kindness or malice of others. The Sugimoto and his wife gave her a good feeling, but after all, they were strangers. She was a little shy, so she half-dragged and hugged her half-half and shyly went into the living room first.
Li Xuehao brought Sugimoto and his wife into the living room. Chiba Xiaoshuri happened to come out of the kitchen. When she saw Sugimoto and his wife, although she had a cold face, her eyes were fluctuating: "Senior Brother Sugimoto, Sister Tomoto, why are you here?"
"It was Master Abbot who told us your address, Sayuri." Sugimoto Saburo said with a smile, and even called out Chiba Sayuri's name.
Li Xuehao was not jealous or felt uncomfortable, because from his tone, we could tell that both sides were very familiar with each other. In addition, Sugimoto Saburo's name to Chiba's abbot and Chiba Xiaoshuri called him "Senior Brother", it was obvious that he was the disciple of Chiba's abbot.
Sure enough, after the introduction of Chiba Kosai, not only Sugimoto Saburo is the disciple of Chiba Abbot, but even Sugimoto Tomoko and Koba. Because they wanted to inherit their family business, they left Chiba Shrine several years ago.
"Senior Brother Sugimoto, Sister Tomokazu, are you doing something?" After the introduction, Sayuri Chiba asked them directly about their purpose.
Sugimoto Saburo was a little embarrassed to speak, probably because he was a difficult thing. In the end, Sugimoto Tomoko pushed him gently, and then he said, "Sayuri, in fact, I have something to do and ask you for help."
"Yes." Chiba Xiaoshuri nodded, and if she had a cold expression, she would think she didn't want to help at all.
However, Sugimoto and his wife obviously knew her very well and knew that she had agreed. Sugimoto Saburo took a look at the environment in the living room, and there were several people present. What he wanted to say was really inconvenient for ordinary people to know, so he looked a little hesitant: "Sayuri, we..." In front of everyone, he could not directly say that it was inconvenient to talk here, otherwise it would be too rude.
Chiba Xiaoyuri guessed what he was hesitating and said with a cold face: "Senior Brother Sugimoto, Sister Tomokazu, please come with me." This was not because she did not respect the others at the scene, but because she realized that what Sugimoto was going to say was probably a supernatural incident. Of course it didn't matter if Koji Jun heard it, but Yuki Mashima and Mai Guazuru were both ordinary people, which would scare them.
Sugimoto Saburo breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his wife, followed Chiba Sayuri out of the living room, and the three of them were talking in the corridor.
Yuki Mashima and Mai Kawasaki didn't think much about it. After all, they were Sayuri Chiba's friends, not the ones they knew.
Although Li Xuehao was unintentional to eavesdrop, the three of them were just talking through a layer of wooden boards, so their conversation clearly reached his ears.
Sugimoto Saburo said: "It starts three days ago. That night, I worked alone until very late... At about 11 o'clock, I finished my work, came out of the office, walked into the elevator and was about to go downstairs, and suddenly I heard someone calling my name..."
With Sugimoto Saburo's explanation, the supernatural incident began.
He said that when he walked into the elevator, he heard someone calling his name. He thought the other party was also a colleague who worked so late like him, so he did not press down on the floor and waited for the other party to come in together.
But after waiting for a long time, the other party just didn't come in. He walked out and was about to urge the other party, but who knew that the corridor outside the elevator was empty and there was no one figure.
At first, he didn't think about anything else, thinking that the colleague was tied up by something, so he walked back to the elevator and was about to press the button on the floor. At this time, the sound of the original name sounded again.
Sugimoto Saburo immediately realized something was wrong, because the sound of calling his name seemed to be sounding beside him, but he was the only one in the elevator, and a foul stinking smelled in his nose.
As an Onmyoji, he immediately knew what he had encountered. Although he didn't have much experience like this before, he was still prepared and immediately rolled on the spot and got out of the elevator.
Then I heard a harsh friction sound from behind me. When I turned around and saw that the elevator was nowhere to be seen and was falling down rapidly.
If there are people inside at a height of more than 20 floors, there will definitely be no possibility of survival if there is someone falling down without any protective measures.
Sugimoto Saburo was scared and sweated in cold sweat. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have died long ago.
