“Dinglingling——”
The intercom rang.
Bai Tianzhe and Liu Yan went rigid all over, none of them even dared to put it through.
However, after the intercom rang twice, it connected on its own.
From the intercom, the two people could clearly hear, after the jingle rang one more time, a sharp ‘pa ta’ sound also came through, meaning that the secured entrance downstairs was opened!
“…It’s over, it’s really over!”
No one moved when the intercom rang, and it went without saying as to why the door opened on its own.
At that moment, Bai Tianzhe completely lost all hope in his heart.
He was incredibly aware that they were finished. He and his wife were being haunted by a ghost!
“Tianzhe, I was wrong… It’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have hung up on the phone!
Do you think, if I sent him a text right now and said that I will buy, I will buy any of his insurance! Do you think he’ll let us go?”
Liu Yan grabbed her hair in exasperation, the tears in her eyes couldn’t help but overflow down to her cheeks. Her whole person sobbing endlessly.
Bai Tianzhe was incredibly jittery and was rather terrified as well.
However, he was a man who shouldered responsibility, and at this moment, he still didn’t forget to console his wife, saying, “Yan Zi, this isn’t your fault. Even if you agreed to him before, he still wouldn’t let us go! This is fate, this is all fate!”
Once he finished saying this, the phone in Liu Yan’s hand produced a ding again.
Liu Yan’s watery eyes turned hazy as she trembled to open the MMS.
On the MMS, there was a pitch-black window.
The moment she laid eyes on the picture, Liu Yan was still a bit slow to comprehend it, but soon after, she sunk into a deeper level of terror——
This window, it was obviously the window of the stairs to their apartment.
Although the window was black, looking at it more carefully, she could see the outside scenery clearly!
The ghost already reached the second floor!
“Tianzhe, it’s over. The ghost is on the second floor!”
“Let’s run! No… We live on the seventh floor, where else could we run away?”
Liu Yan brought her hands to her face and wailed, peeking at the window from time to time, her whole body shaking.
The voice in her heart told her to jump, jump from this place.
Even if she’d plunge to her death from jumping from the seventh floor, it was always better than falling into the ghost’s hands and being murdered by the ghost!
“Tianzhe… I’m sorry…”
Liu Yan lost her voice as she let out a whimper, looking as if she lost all rationality.
Seeing his wife fall apart, Bai Tianzhe was also on the brink of crumbling.
He has a blessed and happy family and even recently brought a clever and obedient child home.
Originally, they were living peaceful and happy lives, but who knew that barely after one phone call, they would fall into such a terrible state!
Bai Tianzhe looked at Bai Yan, feeling this was all his fault.
If he had known about this early on, it would’ve been better if he left this child under his birth mother’s care.
Even if his birth mother was scum on the streets and she would mistreat him, it was completely better than being killed by a ghost right now!
Bai Tianzhe felt a chill run from head to toe, feeling muddleheaded himself.
However, while he was at a loss, an idea gradually surfaced on his mind, as if he was grabbing onto his last glimmer of hope.
He and his wife couldn’t escape, but at least this child… This child who could survive shouldn’t be harmed because of them!
So, Bai Tianzhe didn’t hesitate and walked towards Bai Yan with large strides, leading him along by his small hand and saying, “Son, promise father one thing. Later, no matter what you hear or no matter what I or your aunt say, you should not come out!”
Bai Yan lifted his eyes, using his light grey pupils to look at Bai Tianzhe’s face that was full of despair.
Along with the sounds of the woman’s hopeless wails from earshot.
This whole cozy room was instantly smashed into pieces by misery in a split second, with the whiff of despair from the deathly stillness amid their breaths.
Listening, watching, Bai Yan’s empty expression gradually grew warmer, his face no longer having the lifeless expression it had two months ago.
However, because Bai Tianzhe’s heart was as urgent as if he were on fire, he simply didn’t notice this subtle change.
When Bai Yan nodded, he pulled Bai Yan to the closet, pulling open the wardrobe and pushing one of the panels aside when they entered.
Inside the closet, there was unexpectedly a hidden door.
Bai Tianzhe opened the door, and through it was a small bathroom, which was roughly a bit bigger than a square meter.
Besides the small sink, the mirror hanging above the sink, a gargle cup on the sink, and the chamber pot, there wasn’t anything else inside the place.
“I’ll give this to you. This is a wristwatch, can you read time? …Right, wait until the hour hand turns twice and no noise is coming from outside before coming out of here.”
“You must remember this. No matter what happens outside, you must not come out!”
When Bai Tianzhe finally exhorted this, he then pushed Bai Yan through the door.
He then told Bai Yan to lock the door from the inside and pulled the door panel of the closet outside.
The location of the bathroom was well hidden, and adding onto being covered by a door panel, no one would ever suspect that there was a concealed room inside.
Fixing the door, Bai Tianzhe hung a few more clothes in front of the door panel, adjusting the clothes to make them seem more natural.
After doing all of this, he then closed the closet and returned to his wife’s side, saying with a trembling and a bit remorseful voice, “Forgive me…”
“No, everything is my fault!”
Liu Yan considered everything Bai Tianzhe had done, but she didn’t hold resentment towards him, only choking out in between sobs, “It was me who involved you… Tianzhe, you should quickly escape. I’ve thought this through, the ghost is eyeing me! You should flee to the eight floor and hide upstairs. Maybe you could escape this disaster…”
“Yan Zi, I am with you till the end.”
Bai Tianzhe held his wife’s hand tightly. Although his body was slightly trembling, he sat beside Liu Yan without moving, clearly determined to be together with his wife through life and death.
Seeing how her husband wasn’t going to abandon her at this moment, Liu Yan’s nose grieved as her tears flowed down, creating ‘tak tak’ sounds, unable to hold herself back from crying.
From time to time, sounds were coming from the phone on the table, but this time, the husband and wife were no longer touching the cell phone.
The two leaned on each other like a pair of quails, holding each other’s hands as though they were absorbing each other’s warmth.
In the stillness, Bai Tianzhe’s face turned paler and paler, while Liu Yan’s body trembled more from the dread.
Sitting and waiting for death was one of the tortures this world had to offer.
However, this strange deathly stillness didn’t continue for much longer. A ‘boom boom boom’ sound came knocking outside the door, and at the same time, Liu Yan’s phone also began to ring.
The ghost had already reached their door.
…
The bathroom was dark.
Suddenly being confined in this bathroom, Bai Yan wasn’t afraid at all.
The weird images on the phone, the pictures with a man in a Western suit carrying a woman’s head, and also the depressing discussion between the adults…
It was Bai Yan’s first time hearing these, but instinctively, it was as if he was born knowing what these were.
Ghost.
It was a fuzzy concept in his heart.
He didn’t have a clear understanding of what a ghost was, but he knew that being involved with it would kill him.
The space inside the bathroom was narrow, but Bai Yan was quite scrawny, being much more fragile than a child his age.
He was curled up in a corner, not at all feeling cramped.
Bai Yan was quietly huddled in the corner for a while when he suddenly thought of something.
He walked in the darkness to the sink, using the gargle cup to get a cup of water. Then, he turned the faucet off, grasping the cup and returning to the nook, and like before, he sat there silently without a sound leaving his throat.
“Knock knock knock——”
There was a knocking sound on the door outside.
Even though he was enclosed inside the bathroom and was separated by a closet, he was still able to hear the sounds from outside.
Due to being separated by two doors, the knocking sounds from outside weren’t as clear for Bai Yan.
But soon, the knocking outside stopped.
It could be because no one opened the door, but after a long silence, the person outside began to smash the door.
The sound of the door smashing was deafening, shaking Bai Yan enough to get the urge to cover his ears even when hiding behind two doors.
The smashing sounds persisted for a short while before something loudly fell to the ground.
Then came a man’s bellow and a woman’s scream.
The man seemed to be lifting a heaving object, sparing no effort in his will to fight, while the bawling woman grabbed something amid the ruckus and smashed it through. Suddenly, the room was filled with noises of metal colliding.
But, these sounds didn’t continue for a long time, and quickly, these sounds were gradually settling.
In the room, two people’s groans could be heard. Moans and struggling, it was as though something was clutching the two people’s throats, leaving them powerless to resist.
After a while, the struggling sounds had also disappeared without a trace.
Amid the darkness, only a burst of weird sharp laughter was there.
“Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee…”
“Buy insurance, hee hee hee… I want to buy insurance!”
“I want to buy the 99-years one!”
“I want to buy the 100-years!”
The two people’s bursts of laughter were echoing into the closet, the sounds were quite sharp and demonic, completely different from their ordinary selves.
‘What will happen to them?’
In the toilet, Bai Yan was carrying the cup, his mind bringing up this type of question.
They… would surely die.
Dying was closing your eyes and not talking anymore.
Thinking that the two would die, Bai Yan’s heart felt incomparably bizarre. An indescribable feeling that was welling up in his heart, inside this darkness, it was as if he was looking forward to something.
Bai Yan sat quietly, and the person outside also didn’t let him wait long.
After sounds of rustling pen and paper had passed, the outside of the closet finally reinstated its peaceful atmosphere.
The man and woman lost their voices, and only rhythmic noise was tapping on the closet——
“Knock knock knock…”
“Knock knock knock…”
The knocking continued, even reaching an hour. The noise didn’t stop as though it didn’t recognize tiredness.
At this moment, Bai Yan vaguely realized that his two new guardians were truly dead.
They were dead.
In a split second, Bai Yan’s eyes drew a moist spell as the salty liquid slowly flowed down his cheek, making him can’t help but near his hands to his face, oddly feeling this damp sensation.
What… was happening to him?
Bai Yan only knew that when people couldn’t bear the pain any longer, the body would discharge physiological tears.
Furthermore, according to a book, when people were sad, they couldn’t stop themselves from shedding tears.
But, he wasn’t the least bit broken-hearted, and right now, his body also wasn’t harmed, not feeling any pain at all.
Bai Yan’s index finger streaked across the side of his lips, and the corners of his mouth were raised into a large curve.
Bai Yan really couldn’t understand this. So, he softly placed the cup down and walked towards the mirror, clinging onto the sink and standing tiptoed. In this darkness, he did his best to raise his head and affix his gaze onto the him in the mirror——
He was smiling.
It turned out that he was smiling.
Bai Yan stared at the mirror, as if he discovered a new world, feeling heartfelt joy.
This unexpected discovery led him to want to laugh, but he still remembered the man’s dying wish, so he swallowed back his laugh, crying as he silently giggled.
It turned out… to be like this.
…
Unknowingly, the hour hand had already turned twice.
The next night was approaching, but the tapping sound outside the closet continued.
According to the man’s instructions, if there were still noises outside, he couldn’t go outside. However, he had already finished drinking the water inside the cup, and Bai Yan also didn’t intend to wait any longer.
He opened the toilet’s door, gasping for air as he pushed the door panel open and crawling under the hems of the clothes.
Then, he opened the closet door.
Outside the closet, he saw two pairs of feet.
He lifted his head, and two ashen corpses with smirks on their faces were suspended from the ceiling. Every time they swayed, their toes would create a crisp noise from hitting the closet door.
“Knock knock knock…”
“Knock knock knock…”
