Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but the moment I walked upstairs, the depressing and terrifying feeling just now seemed to suddenly disappear.
The corridor was still dark, and the white ink illuminated the rooms on the left and right. There were two muddy footprints on the floor in front of the door. They were the same as those downstairs. The heels were together and the toes were twisted to both sides - it was impossible for a normal person to stand like this.
"So is this a prank?"
Bai Mo was a little confused. He had clearly heard a knock on the door upstairs, but when he came up, he didn't see anyone. Could it be that the guy ran up again?
Normally, if a person knocks on the door without shoes and with muddy feet, he shouldn't leave footprints only in front of the door. He can't appear at someone else's door out of thin air, right?
But Bai Mo walked along and didn't see any muddy footprints on the stairs.
He looked at the stairs going upstairs. There were also no footprints on the stairs. This was not in line with normal logic at all, unless the person who knocked on the door didn't walk on his feet...
He speculated that these footprints might have been smeared with mud by someone in order to scare the residents of the apartment.
Thinking of this, Bai Mo's heartbeat couldn't help but slow down a bit. He thought that the corpse knocking on the door was indeed nonsense, and he had already found the truth.
He thought for a while and was about to continue going upstairs to take a look when he suddenly heard a small and crisp sound.
"Click."
Bai Mo was stunned.
This sound...
It sounds like the sound of a bullet being loaded?
He panicked and quickly looked at the house number of the room on the left - 404.
…It’s such an auspicious number.
The door was closed tightly, and there was some wet yellow soil stained half a person's height, as if it had been rubbed on with hands. It looked very disgusting.
The sound came from this room.
"Could it be that the owner of the room was frightened by the knock on the door and was so angry that he took out his gun?" Bai Mo guessed, "That's not right, how could ordinary people have guns..."
Holding his breath and concentrating, he tiptoed closer to the door, vaguely feeling that he might have stumbled upon another serious case.
…
The knocking on the door stopped, and the premonition of danger disappeared.
Xia Yuxi was sitting on the sofa in the living room, filling the pistol magazine with bullets of different colors.
These bullets are all specially made, made by stone engravers, and cost a lot of money. Each bullet is engraved with strange patterns and is designed to target some kind of weird creature.
Even if the opponent is a human being, he will not feel better after being hit by these bullets.
The thing outside the door definitely had bad intentions. Although Xia Yuxi was a person with abilities, she might not be inclined to fight. To be on the safe side, she decided to take out her gun.
She had considered asking for help from the Forbidden Bureau, but since she could not confirm what was going on outside, she could only rely on herself for the time being.
With the pistol in hand and the bullets loaded, Xia Yuxi felt confident.
She is a firearms master.
Three minutes passed, and the strange knock on the door never came again.
Xia Yuxi did not lower her guard because of this and continued to wait.
Another three minutes passed. She carefully took off her slippers, hid the pistol behind her back, and walked towards the door with bare feet without making any sound in the process.
Still no feeling of danger.
Holding her breath, she looked out through the peephole.
The light in the corridor seemed to be broken, and it was pitch black outside, with nothing there.
Just when Xia Yuxi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly saw a constantly rotating eyeball popping out of the cat's eye.
Her heart trembled, and she found that the owner of the eyes seemed to be startled, and took a few steps back, revealing his body, and his face was pale in the dim light of the mobile phone.
Her hair stood on end, and she suddenly looked strange, feeling that the guy outside the door looked familiar...
Wait, isn't this the guy who thought she was a man?
Why is this guy standing outside my door in such a sneaky way? He was responsible for everything that happened before.
wrong……
Xia Yuxi quickly ruled out this conjecture. After thinking about it, she put the pistol in the shoe cabinet and opened the security door.
Seeing the door open, Bai Mo secretly thought that something was wrong. His heart was beating fast at this moment. He didn't expect to be spotted as soon as he peeked into the room. He was about to run away, but he heard a cold female voice coming from behind him.
"What do you want to do sneakily?"
Bai Mo was stunned for a moment, inexplicably feeling that the voice sounded familiar. He turned around and saw a short-haired woman in a bathrobe standing at the door, looking at him with an unfriendly expression.
it's beautiful……
This was the first thought he had after seeing the woman.
Seeing Bai Mo's dull expression, Xia Yuxi didn't know what the other person was thinking. She snorted coldly, but felt happy in her heart.
Humph, you dare say that I am a man, and haven’t you been conquered by my beauty now?
She said coldly: "What are you looking at? I ask you what you want to do standing in front of my house?"
"this……"
Bai Mo quickly came back to his senses and remembered the sound of the gun being loaded. He hesitated a little, thought for a while and said, "I just heard a knock on the door."
Seeing the woman frowning slightly, he pointed at her feet and said, "Someone knocked on your door."
Xia Yuxi looked in the direction he pointed, her expression changed slightly, and then she looked at the opposite door. Sure enough, there was a mud footprint on the floor in front of the door.
What is this...
She felt terrified and suddenly looked at Bai Mo warily: "What does it have to do with you if someone knocks on the door? Why do you want to look into my room?"
"Because..." Bai Mo kept calm, thinking about what reason to make up, and quickly looked at the woman, thinking that there didn't seem to be any place to hide a gun on this woman...
Suddenly his eyes stopped on the woman's chest, he realized something, opened his mouth wide, and showed an incredible expression.
He understood what this familiar voice was about...
"Is it you, the eldest brother from Lanbei Street? No, eldest sister!"
Of course Xia Yuxi noticed Bai Mo's eyes, and she was filled with grief and anger. She never thought that the way this guy confirmed her identity was by looking at her breasts...
It’s just a flat chest, how representative is it?
She felt insulted.
What's even more annoying is that this guy actually dares to call her eldest sister?
"Who is your eldest sister!" Xia Yuxi resisted the urge to beat Bai Mo and said coldly, "I ask you what you are doing here?"
She did not give up her suspicion of Bai Mo, and even became more vigilant, wondering whether yesterday's encounter was not accidental...
Seeing that the other person was pretending to be expressionless, she was about to use her [telepathy] ability to touch this guy's heart, but she remembered the rules of the Special Investigation Bureau——
No one is allowed to use extraordinary abilities in City Three!
At this moment, Bai Mo replied: "Actually, the reason why I am here is because I heard that there was a corpse in this apartment that would knock on the door."
"The corpse knocking on the door?" Xia Yuxi was stunned and asked, "What kind of corpse?"
"A corpse covered in dirt."
Bai Mo explained, "I saw muddy footprints downstairs similar to those in front of your door, but there was nothing on the stairs. I suspected someone was playing a prank, and I heard a knock on the door upstairs..."
mischief……
impossible!
Xia Yuxi believed in her intuition. The moment the knock on the door rang, there was definitely something dangerous!
"From which floor did you start seeing the footprints?"
"It's just below this floor."
"Where's upstairs?"
"I haven't seen it."
Xia Yuxi thought for a while and said coldly: "Stand here and don't move. Wait for me to change clothes and let's go upstairs to take a look."
After saying this, she closed the door tightly, leaving only a dull white ink on her face.
