Chapter 1201 Horse Hoof Sounds
Everyone has experienced similar tasks, which are similar to hide-and-seek, but the one who came to them tonight was not a human, and they couldn't even be sure if it was a ghost, because it was accompanied by an incomprehensible sound of horse hooves.
"Although this house has three floors, the overall area is not very large. I have seen outside, and there are not many places to hide people. We have 12 people." Zhang Shiwei's tone was not optimistic.
"It should be 13, you haven't counted him yet." Ding Zhenzong raised his chin at Song Keli on the bed.
"When Zhang Shiwei and I came back, I saw a big lock in the housekeeper's hand. It seems that after all of us enter the house, the door will be locked from the outside." Li Shanru recalled.
Everyone present had the experience of hiding and escaping from being chased by ghosts, but this time was particularly tricky, and they had too little information.
It was uncertain what ghost was chasing them, what characteristics the ghost had this time, and even when and where the ghost would appear.
The mission left them with only a crazy and frightened person, and this person could not provide help, and even needed their protection.
As the target person, everyone knew the importance of Song Keli. If he was found and killed by the ghost, then the mission would fail.
Everyone knew what the failure of the mission meant to them.
"It's useless to think about it now. What is coming will come sooner or later. While it's not completely dark now, everyone should go around and get familiar with the terrain."
Jiang Cheng's suggestion was very pertinent and was naturally adopted. Lin Qianqian took out a few flashlights from the drawer of the bedroom, tried them, and barely worked, so she distributed them to everyone.
"Doctor, why do we have to separate? This area... It's scary around here." The fat man held the flashlight in his hand and shone it everywhere, even the ceiling. The footsteps of him and the doctor echoed in the empty corridor, even bringing out some echoes, and the teammates didn't know where they ran.
This building looks like it has been there for a long time. The circuits are aging badly. Some lights in remote places are simply broken. It is shrouded in a vague darkness, as if there are strange things standing inside.
"It's not just us who want to separate. Everyone thinks so. Everyone is looking for a suitable place to hide. For safety reasons, this location can only be known by oneself." Now time is not very tight, Jiang Cheng explained in detail. He pushed open a closed door, looked inside, and then closed the door and continued to walk.
After walking through many rooms, some fat men looked safe and not easy to be found, but the doctor didn't seem very satisfied.
Suddenly, the fat man's mind moved, and he realized: "Doctor, I understand, you want to find a few more hiding places, right? Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone you!"
Jiang Cheng paused, and then he didn't look back, just sighed softly, and continued to walk.
After walking around the building, they came to the sofa where they had sat before. At this moment, Yao Shunyu was sitting comfortably with his legs crossed, squinting his eyes, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and he didn't look nervous at all.
Seeing Jiang Cheng and the other person coming, Yao Shunyu blew a puff of smoke into the sky, grabbed the cigarette box and matches on the table and pushed them forward, "Want one? The cigarettes here taste good, but they are a little strong."
"No." Jiang Cheng refused directly.
Yao Shunyu didn't care, just smiled with the corners of his mouth, but that smile made people feel uncomfortable.
During this time, it started to rain outside, and there were gusts of wind, which seemed to indicate that tonight was an unusual night.
More and more people gathered on the sofa. Judging from their faces, they all seemed to have an idea of where to hide next. Lin Qianqian saw that the fat man was still holding a flashlight and reminded him, "You don't need the flashlight now, turn it off quickly. Save power for emergencies. If you want to light up, just use the flashlight on your phone."
"Oh oh."
Just as everyone was starting a new round of discussion on the task, suddenly, there was a sound of something falling from upstairs, "Bang!" The sound was not very loud, but it was particularly clear under the premise that everyone was highly nervous.
Everyone quickly went upstairs and opened the door. The scene in front of them made everyone's heart twitch violently.
The quilt on the bed was messy, and Song Keli, who was originally lying on it... disappeared!
"Where is he?" The fat man panicked instantly.
Jiang Cheng took a few quick steps, came to the bed, and put his hand into the quilt, "The quilt is still hot inside, and the person just left."
He Ping and Ding Zhenzong rushed to the window, opened the curtains, and looked out. It was pitch black outside. "There is no sign of the window being opened. He was not taken away from the window." Ding Zhenzong said anxiously.
"Don't panic. Song Keli was not taken away by those things, at least not for the time being. He won't go far. Let's go outside to look for him. He must be nearby!" Luo Tianhe said in a deep voice.
After that, a group of people ran out. Luo Tianhe was the last one. He did not forget to close the door before leaving. A burst of hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor, gradually fading away.
The bedroom was quiet again.
About 1 minute later, the silence was broken. There was a very slight noise in the bedroom, "Zi..., Zi..." It was like something was rubbing against the floor.
About 10 seconds after the sound, without any warning, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Luo Tianhe and Jiang Cheng Fatty and several others rushed in.
At this moment, Song Keli was crawling out from the corner, his whole body like a fleshy worm, wriggling on the ground. Seeing someone suddenly break in, he was so scared that he started to tremble and tried his best to get under the bed.
A moment later, the few people who had run downstairs to act came back. Seeing Song Keli like this, Ding Zhenzong was furious and wanted to teach him a lesson, but was stopped.
The fat man He Ping stepped forward and grabbed one of Song Keli's legs and dragged him out. Although this man looked sick and dead, he was surprisingly strong. He hugged the bed leg and refused to let go, "Here it comes! I want to hide and don't make any sound... I heard it, I heard it!"
"What's coming? What the hell did you hear?" He Ping suspected that this old guy was acting with him. He listened for a long time. Except for the noise they made, the surrounding area was very quiet.
Taking advantage of the situation, Song Keli turned around and bit He Ping's hand with a ferocious face. Fortunately, He Ping reacted quickly. As soon as he let go, Song Keli instantly got under the bed.
He curled up in the innermost part, covered his mouth with both hands, and trembled like a sieve.
Suddenly, Yuan Shanyuan, who was standing at the end, changed his face slightly, "No, it's too quiet."
At this time, everyone came back to their senses. Indeed, the surroundings were too quiet. There was no human voice or dog barking, and even the sound of the wind disappeared. You know, it was still raining outside.
Before everyone could react, the lights above their heads began to dim slowly, and finally went out under everyone's nervous gaze.
Not only the lights in the bedroom, but also the lights in the corridor went out. From the outside, the whole Su residence fell into darkness.
"Da."
"Da."
"Da."
...
A crisp sound floated in from the window. It was not very clear, and it felt distorted, as if it came from another world, but every time it seemed to step on everyone's heart. No one knew who took the lead, but everyone rushed out like a swarm of bees.
No one thought of exploring the source of the sound, and everyone hid in all directions.
The sound of horse hooves... really appeared.
Song Keli did not lie.
