Chapter 92 The Sound of Marbles from the Ceiling
"What's in the tea can?!" I asked nervously with a sense of empathy.
"The tea can is full of gray-white powder," the man in the black hoodie replied with a horrified look on his face. "Pour it out and look carefully, it's all human ashes!!!"
I heard this guy in a black hoodie tell a ghost story. Although I knew in my heart that it was not necessarily true, I still felt a chill down my spine after listening to it!!!
I pretended to be curious and continued to ask: "Where did the ashes come from and what is going on?!"
"Don't worry about what's going on. If you say I'm afraid, you'll be even more afraid. Anyway, just listen to my brother's advice. No matter how cheap the house in this building is, you can't buy it..."
Maybe the big brother in the black hoodie wanted to say something more, but Lao Chen's car had already driven over in the distance, so he turned around and left.
When Lao Chen drove over, he also saw the man in black who was talking to me.
After getting out of the car, Lao Chen asked: "Xiao Ma, who was that person just now?!"
I told Lao Chen: "There is a neighbor who lives in the community. He said that this house is not clean and I can't buy it no matter how cheap it is..."
Lao Chen pouted fiercely at the ground: "What we as intermediaries hate the most are these boring people who spread rumors..."
With that said, Lao Chen took out a bunch of keys, and we walked into the building door again.
I stood at the door of the room on the first floor and shouted: "Er Meow, come out, you don't want to go upstairs to have a look, Lao Chen has brought the key..."
But after I shouted and waited for more than ten seconds, Ermeow didn't come out on his own?!
I was impatient to wait, so I went straight into the house and had a panoramic view of the small apartment of more than 50 square meters...
However, the room was empty???
wipe……
Where did Ermeow go?!
He's missing?!
How come it has disappeared after so much effort? How strange is it?!
Lao Chen asked me: "Did he run upstairs?!"
When I heard this, I felt that what Lao Chen said made sense. I had been standing at the door chatting with the man in the black hoodie. If Ermeow came out of the building door, there was no way I could not see him. There was no other way except going upstairs.
Walk.
With that said, Lao Chen and I hurried up the stairs together...
In this small brick building, the height of each house seems to be higher than in the old community, maybe more than 3 meters, so when I go up the stairs, I feel that the stairs are longer.
Lao Chen is relatively fat, but I am agile and climbed to the second floor ahead of Lao Chen.
Sure enough, I saw Er Meow at a glance...
After seeing the second cat on the second floor, not only did I not relax, but I suddenly became even more nervous!!!
Why?!
That's because...
Er Meow’s movements look so damn weird!!!
Otherwise, let me describe the action first!
Ermiao was standing at the door of the second floor, with his face facing the door, his body stiff, his legs standing straight, his arms tightly attached to his sides, and his forehead pressed against the room.
Door.
If there is no key on the second floor, Ermiao will definitely not be able to open the door.
What's wrong with him?
Are you trying to push the door open with your head?
During the two or three seconds of observing Er Meow, Lao Chen from behind had already caught up with me. He saw that I was standing still, and originally wanted to ask me what was wrong, but when he looked up, he saw that Er Meow was moving very fast.
strangeness?
So, Lao Chen didn't open his mouth, but asked me with his eyes: What's going on with that kid?!
I didn't dare to disturb Er Miao, so I walked behind him on tiptoes, raising my hands, trying to turn Er Miao's face to look...
But just when my fingers touched Er Miao's shoulder, a picture suddenly came to mind...
Because there are similar plots in many horror movies. A person stands motionless with his back turned. When the hero walks over and turns the person around, he will see a bloody and terrifying face...
Thinking of this picture, my heart beats faster!
but……
The more frightened I became, the more worried I became about Ermiao. I could only turn my head, grab Ermiao's shoulders, and turn him around at once!
Although Er Miao's face remained unchanged, it was also covered in cold sweat, as if she was very nervous!
I asked: "Er Meow, what are you doing standing at the door?!"
"I...I want to see if there is anyone inside..." Ermiao replied.
Hearing what Er Miao said, Lao Chen and I became nervous again!
Because the door on the second floor is still locked, there is no one inside at all!
Why did Ermiao suddenly say such an inexplicable statement?!
Did he discover something?!
Lao Chen came up and asked, "Have you discovered anything?!"
Ermiao glanced at me, then at Lao Chen, shook his head strangely, and nodded again.
Damn, I’m so worried!!!
"Er Meow, are you talking?" I urged loudly.
After being yelled at by me, Ermiao seemed to wake up a lot. It turns out that this is what happened...
Just now, Lao Chen drove to get the keys, and I left the corridor to go outside for some fresh air. I met a man in a black hoodie and chatted with him for a few words.
Er Meow was sitting alone on a wooden chair in the room on the first floor to rest.
Originally, he looked indifferent and didn't expect anything to happen here. Just when he was about to take out his mobile phone and play for a while, he suddenly heard a series of sounds coming from the ceiling...
The sound was very strange, like the sound of some glass marbles scattered on the floor. It lasted for four or five seconds. It was very crisp, but the sound itself was not very loud.
The sound was not loud, but Ermeow heard it very clearly.
Moreover, Ermiao also knew that no one lived on the second floor and the door was locked, otherwise Lao Chen would not have gone out to get the key.
But the question is, since no one lives upstairs, where did the sound just come from?!
Ermiao wasn't too nervous at this time, so he walked out of the room on the first floor and went directly to the second floor. He thought that someone might have deliberately not opened the door in the room on the second floor, for example, hiding some children secretly playing with marbles?
So, Ermiao started knocking on the door...
Dong dong dong...
After knocking a few times, no one opened the door for him, and there seemed to be no movement inside?
But……
Just now, you clearly heard the crisp sound of marbles falling from the floor?!
If there is no one, what's going on with the marbles?!
Therefore, Ermiao really wanted to see what was going on in the room on the second floor?
There happened to be a peephole on the door, so he put his face against the peephole and looked inside...
But a cat's eye can only be seen from the inside out. If it could be seen from the outside in, would it still be called a cat's eye?
Just when Er Miao was looking inside seriously and with all his concentration, Lao Chen and I had already walked up to the second floor. This is what happened...
After listening to Ermiao's explanation, I took a breath and felt that it was just a false alarm!
