Chapter 2: The Ghostly Cry

I dared not answer the phone, and in a flurry, I dismissed the incoming call. I feared hearing that repeated phrase again; the woman's scream was like a spell that had driven my soul away.

I summoned my courage to turn on the switch, cautiously approached, and instinctively picked up a badminton racket, ready to defend myself against anything that might come my way

Ding ding ding ... ... ding ding ding ... ...

I glanced at the time; it was 2:00 AM. Startled by the phone call, I was drenched in cold sweat. I got up and poured myself a glass of cold water to calm my nerves

Hello, hello, hello, who are you! Help! What help, what life? I mustered my courage and shouted into the phone.

Help! Help! Come quickly! Let me go! I beg you, let me go! The other party was continuously screaming on the phone, their voice nearly breaking from the strain.

I have come to understand that the other party is shouting the same few phrases repeatedly, with pauses of a few seconds in between, and this cycle continues, nearly frightening me to illness

Ah?

Excuse me, is this your personal phone? Or is it someone else's?

No, this is my daughter's phone number. She is no longer here, and I haven't had the heart to delete her number. By the way, are you a friend of Shanshan's?

Dong dong ... ... dong dong ... ...

I removed the SIM card from my phone, and I refuse to believe you can still make calls! At that moment, I almost wanted to smash this device, but when I saw the glowing Apple logo on the back, my heart softened.

I shouted into the phone, unsure of what the other party was trying to convey, only feeling all the hairs on my body stand on end, a moment of chilling horror

Help! Help! Come quickly to save me!

After removing the SIM card, the phone fell silent, which finally put my mind at ease. However, I still couldn't sleep while lying in bed. One reason was the series of strange calls I had just received, and the other was the noise created by Di Xiaohu. I suspect this guy must have been a breeding pig in his past life; even at this hour, he is still working overtime! Is this what it means for life to be in battle?

Hello

I suddenly felt a jolt here, my whole body involuntarily trembled. What is going on? Did his daughter die? And then the phone disappeared? But she called me for help last night?

"Damn it, when will this end!" I shouted, hung up the phone, and turned off my iPhone. I've had enough of this. I will go to the mobile company to check this number, and I guarantee I will not let this go unpunished

Upon hearing this sound, I almost immediately sprang up from the bed. I clearly turned off my phone, so how could there still be a call? This time, I absolutely did not remember incorrectly; I lay down after turning off my phone!

After hanging up the phone, I found it hard to calm down for a long time. The scene that occurred in the early morning kept replaying in my mind, and everything stemmed from that Apple phone. First, I needed to clarify what happened last night... Was it a hallucination on my part, or was there really something sinister coming to trouble me...

After taking a sip of water to calm down, I heard a creaking sound beside me. I shouted at the neighbor, "I was scared half to death just now, and it turns out Di Xiaohu is still having a good time in there! It's already 2 AM and you're still working overtime? Be careful you won't be able to get up tomorrow!"

What a coincidence! The person on the phone is her! The one knocking on the door is also her! What does she do?

I was momentarily at a loss for words and didn't know what to say. A powered-off phone can still make calls for help; does that mean I have encountered a ghost

Help! Help! Come quickly to save me!

I was so startled that my arm trembled, causing my phone to fall onto the mat, nearly dropping to the ground, while the voice from the phone continued to repeat this sentence incessantly

Hmm? What is this situation? It is already 2 AM, who is still knocking on my door? Am I being scared into hallucinations?

Still that number! Still that beautiful girl's photo, the resolution of which is particularly high, her beautiful eyes wide open, staring at me! In her eyes, a sinister light flickers, as if a basin of ice water has been poured over me from head to toe

Ding ding ding ... ... ding ding ding ... ... I had just finished scolding Di Xiaohu when I heard the ringtone of my phone. I opened my eyes to see that the same number was calling again, and the screen was flashing with the photo of that girl from https://m.hetushu.com.

Help! Help! Come quickly to save me! Wuwuwuwu...

I found that phone number from last night in the call log, and just thinking about it makes me feel scared. I gritted my teeth and called it back.

Dong dong ... ... dong dong ... ... dong dong ... ... dong dong ... ...

I called your phone?" The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, sounding quite puzzled: "You must be mistaken. This phone of mine could not have called you, as it has been turned off all night.

It is the iPhone 6 that I just bought for her, alas, she has passed away, and the phone is gone as well

Dong dong ... ... dong dong ... ...

In a state of confusion, I recalled a statement made by the owner of the mobile phone store, who said that this phone was quite peculiar. At the time, I did not believe him, but at this moment, I truly feel that the phone I picked up is indeed haunted. The several calls I received just now and the woman knocking at the door outside serve as the best explanation.

I lay back down on the bed, completely devoid of any sleepiness. The sounds of movements from next door, where Di Xiaohu is, are growing increasingly loud, almost as if the wall is about to be torn down. I can feel the entire wall vibrating.

The sound of knocking at the door rang out once again. My door is made of three-ply board, and whenever it is knocked, the surface of the door always trembles uncontrollably

What the hell is going on!

My heart suddenly skipped a beat. Is it his daughter's call? Has she already passed away and is in the library?

Help! Help! Come quickly, help!

Hello ... ... The call was finally connected, and the voice was unexpectedly that of a middle-aged man, which made me feel a sense of relief.

Suddenly, I was so startled that I let out a scream; in the cat's eye, there was a woman! ... She was a woman dressed in a gray long skirt, her face as pale as paper, devoid of color, cold and staring directly at me. Her disheveled hair fell over her shoulders, and she held a yellow umbrella in her hand, wearing a strange smile.

I do not know how long it has been, but the knocking outside finally ceased. I am also unsure whether that woman has left or not. I burrowed into the blanket, covering my head and trying not to think of anything, my whole body drenched in cold sweat from fear

Just when I was feeling extremely frustrated, I suddenly heard a faint knocking sound at the door, a sound so soft that it still managed to overshadow the commotion of Di Xiaohu's battle

I listened carefully for a while, but the other party kept repeating this sentence. Feeling annoyed, I hung up the phone.

Is this a deliberate prank to make a fool of me

When I woke up, the sun was exceptionally glaring. I opened my eyes and saw that it was already 8 o'clock. I had overslept, so I hurriedly put my SIM card in and called Qin Dahai to request a leave of absence, saying that I was feeling unwell and could not go to work.

Is she here to find me or my phone? Or did she come to the dormitory because I didn't answer her call?

Once again, it is that woman's voice pleading for help from hetushu.com, the same tone, continuously repeating, the sharp and piercing screams shattering my eardrums, I am on the verge of collapse

May I ask what kind of phone Shanshan is using

My mind was in a complete mess, and the badminton racket in my hand fell to the ground in fright. That woman continued to knock on the door, her voice calm and unhurried, pushing me to the brink of mental collapse.

Hello, how are you? May I ask if you called my phone last night

Beep beep ... ... beep beep ... ... My nerves instinctively tensed up, fearing that if I answered the call, I would hear a woman's voice pleading for help, which would surely frighten me to death

I was not in a hurry to open the door; instead, I prepared to take a glance through the peephole. It was unusual for someone to knock on the door in the middle of the night, something I had never encountered before. What kind of day is it today, that both good and bad things have collided together.

Qin Dahai did not say much either, advising me to take care of my health and that it would be fine to rest for a couple of days

Who is it

I once thought that the girl was calling to ask for a phone, but who would have known that the first thing I heard upon answering was a piercing cry for help, which immediately left me stunned

I was immediately covered in goosebumps from laughter; why does this woman look so familiar? Isn't she the same woman who just appeared on my phone screen?

Knock knock ... ... knock knock ... ... There was no response from outside, so I continued to knock twice more on my door
