Chapter 9, only two

At the moment when Feng Wei was screaming Zhao Shuang's name in unrestrained fear, the blood-red liquid that continuously seeped from the window began to silently spread across the ground, and a shadowy figure could be faintly seen writhing upon it

Feng Wei scratched his head in confusion and then murmured to himself

"Good idea, we can give it a try," Xia Tianqi replied dryly, then changed the subject and added:

What are you talking about? I just arrived.

Wang Yazhi looked back in fear, and in the process, her body drew closer to Xia Tianqi, who could even feel the cold emanating from Wang Yazhi's body

Well ... ...

Where did you just run off to? I called you so many times and there was no response; I thought you were no longer here

I was just over there" Zhao Shuang pointed to the stairway not far away

In this world, there are always more solutions than difficulties, so there will definitely be no problems

Zhao, Zhao Shuang

Zhao Shuang looked at the window and asked in confusion

It is ... ... Huh

Why do I have to encounter such things ... ... I still do not want to die ... ...

I discovered a secret above

Are you upstairs

Hiss ... ...

Upon seeing Zhao Shuang again, Feng Wei let out a long sigh of relief

What is that thing

The sound of high heels clicking echoed as Zhao Shuang approached with a blank expression from one side

By the way, you should quickly look at that window; there has been a liquid seeping out that resembles blood. It is particularly eerie

After listening, Xia Tianqi felt a chill instantly spreading from the soles of his feet to his entire body

Only Feng Wei and I were brought by that middle-aged man, while Zhao Shuang only came out of the bookstore after the middle-aged man had left

Aren't the three of you brought here together by that middle-aged man?

"What does it mean?" Xia Tianqi asked again, somewhat unclear about what he had heard.

During this period, Wang Yazhi attempted to make several phone calls to her friends, but all of them were unable to connect

Feng Wei wanted to explain something further, but was directly interrupted by Zhao Shuang, who clearly found Feng Wei's behavior of stirring up trouble for no reason quite tedious

Well, I just heard that too

If you still want to live and do not wish to die so soon, then you better shut your mouth! Your cries could easily attract it, and at that time, neither of us will be able to survive

This... this is impossible... I clearly saw it just now...

Later, I will also bring two new interns over for a trial period

It was only at this moment that Xia Tianqi suddenly recalled the words spoken to him earlier by the middle-aged man.

Wang Yazhi, as she spoke, truly began to cry with a "wuwu" sound, and her emotions started to become increasingly agitated

This bizarre situation has caused Wang Yazhi's heart to be on the verge of collapse, while Xia Tianqi's heart has also begun to feel increasingly heavy.

Just as Feng Wei was feeling something and wanted to look out the window again, a beam of pale light suddenly shone on his face from one side

The sound came from behind them

The suffocating darkness, filled with an oppressive silence, weighs heavily on the nerves of every individual

Zhao Shuang may know, after all, she has been here all along

Feng Wei swallowed hard, then shouted at the top of his lungs

I just want to earn a little more money to send to my parents... that is why I left school...

Feng Wei rubbed his eyes vigorously, hardly believing what he was seeing, for everything before him... was simply too bizarre

I just seemed to hear Feng Wei's voice

However, Zhao Shuang did not respond to him

I no longer wish to stay here, I want to return to the dormitory

What is even more bizarre is that the signal bars on the phone are clearly full, yet when Xia Tianqi tried to make a call, he was unable to even dial the emergency number, as it too could not be connected

At this moment, Xia Tianqi suddenly recalled something:

Forget it, perhaps I was just seeing things a moment ago, or it could be the reflection of the scenery outside

After speaking, Feng Wei swiftly drew open the curtains, but what puzzled him greatly was that there was no trace of the so-called liquid he had seen earlier on the window

Such a bizarre phenomenon was something that Feng Wei naturally did not have the courage to face alone, so his instinctive thought was to call Zhao Shuang to his side

Ahーー ! ''

Did you pull this curtain up

Feng Wei believed that with his current volume, combined with the quietness of the surroundings, it should be clear enough for anyone on the third or fourth floor to hear him, so Zhao Shuang should indeed have heard him

By the way, where exactly did you go just now? Why didn't you respond to me after I called you for so long?

In fact, the thing that Xia Tianqi finds most unbearable and also most helpless is encountering a woman in tears

The window was completely obscured by tightly drawn curtains, making it impossible to see anything, not even the glass itself.

Let them handle that side; we just need to stay here properly. However, we also need to be cautious; when we leave later, we should try not to make too much noise. Can we manage that

Without a doubt, this statement by Xia Tianqi is directed not only at Wang Yazhi but also serves as a reminder to himself

By the way, there is something I forgot to ask you. When you first arrived here, was this place already closed? Or did you see any staff inside pulling the curtains?

Wang Yazhi suddenly requested

I would like to try making a phone call to a friend outside

Feng Wei originally wanted to say right at the window, but just as the words reached his throat, he forcefully swallowed them back down.

What are you clearly talking about, clearly! Clearly, there is nothing at all!

"That can't be right. I clearly just opened the curtains. There are only the two of us here. I didn't move, you didn't move, so it couldn't possibly be a ghost that moved them, could it?"

Perhaps influenced by Xia Tianqi, Wang Yazhi's emotions have temporarily calmed down

In the summer, Qi would say that he certainly had a good impression of Wang Yazhi, which is why he had the thought of wanting her to survive as well. However, more importantly, if Wang Yazhi were to escape at this moment, he would be left all alone here again

Zhao Shuang shot a glance at Feng Wei, too lazy to engage, and turned her body away.

What liquid

Seeing that Wang Yazhi's emotions had somewhat recovered, Xia Tianqi's expression also relaxed a bit, and he comforted her

No," Wang Yazhi shook her head and explained

This hellish wait is undoubtedly the most excruciating, for no one knows when a pair of hands will reach from behind and tightly grip your neck

Don't scare me... I don't want to die...

Could you please refrain from being so startled all the time

Zhao Shuang, where are you? Come over and take a look!

Feng Wei glanced towards the stairway and then asked with some suspicion

Although the sound was already faint by the time it reached them, it still sounded relatively clear due to the profound silence in the bookstore

Meanwhile, on the other side of the first floor of the bookstore

In this situation, it is not just a matter of placing it here; even if it were to be changed to outside, it would be enough to give him a headache. After some thought, Xia Tianqi could only threaten with greater emphasis:

Hello? Zhao Shuang? Are you there? Please say something! Don't scare me!

In fact, his current mood is quite terrible; on the entire floor, apart from them, not a single sound can be heard. Previously, he heard Feng Wei's shout, but he has no idea what happened over there, and whether Zhao Shuang and Feng Wei are still alive.

Wang Yazhi cried harder and harder, her voice growing increasingly louder, seemingly heading towards a trend of losing control

I did not see it; when Feng Wei and I arrived here, it was already closed for business.

Xiatianqi was unaware of what had happened to Feng Wei and Zhao Shuang over there, but he believed that the most likely occurrence was that the evil spirit had already appeared

Hmm. Zhao Shuang nodded, then leaned closer to Feng Wei's ear and deliberately lowered her voice to say

Wang Yazhi, perhaps overwhelmed by fear, suddenly grasped Xia Tianqi's arm and said with a sobbing tone

... ...

Upon hearing the scream, Xia Tianqi and Wang Yazhi instinctively halted their steps

In fact, his words were indeed very effective; Wang Yazhi immediately covered her mouth in sheer terror, as if making even the slightest sound would result in her being killed

But even if you escape from here tonight, won't you still have to return tomorrow? Unless you are killed before you even have the chance to come back! I have mentioned my experiences from a couple of days ago before!

However, regardless of the truth, he has no intention of joining the fray. If it is true, he can only hope that Feng Wei, this effeminate man, can fend for himself

Feng Wei, somewhat displeased, finished speaking and suddenly recalled the window that was continuously oozing a blood-colored liquid, so he hurriedly reminded Zhao Shuang:

Feng Wei looked at Zhao Shuang with suspicion

Alright, I will open it up for you to take a look now

It is merely an exceedingly ordinary floor-to-ceiling window, radiating a faint glow under the nurturing light of the moon.

In fact, Wang Yazhi is not the only one who is fearful; Xia Tianqi is also extremely anxious.

Feng Wei muttered to himself as he found a way out, then he suddenly remembered something and asked Zhao Shuang:

Although being harsh towards women may seem somewhat unbecoming, at a critical moment concerning life and death, who can still afford to consider such matters? Moreover, Xia Tianqi is not a gender discriminator himself

Wang Yazhi shook her head to indicate that she was also unsure, but soon she seemed to think of something and said:

Wang Yazhi is still very convinced of Xia Tianqi's decision, even though the ghostly occurrences he mentioned earlier have yet to manifest. However, this does not prevent her from genuinely feeling the overwhelming eeriness emanating from this bookstore building.

In the summer, Xia Tianqi took Wang Yazhi for a symbolic stroll nearby. Although they did not find the switch to control the streetlights, fortunately, they did not encounter any danger.

Perhaps it was the sudden appearance of this beam of light, or perhaps it was because Feng Wei's nerves had been taut all along, that he was suddenly startled and let out a scream

Only the entire floor-to-ceiling window could be seen, from which a liquid resembling fresh blood was slowly seeping out.
