Chapter 56 A Frightened Soul
“A red door?” Qin Liu was greatly surprised, then said, “Is it a blood-red, rusty iron door?”
“Yes…”
“Did you go in?”
“No… I didn’t go in.”
Hearing Li Rongjun’s answer, Qin Liu also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn’t know what that door was.
But from Liu Haoyu’s words, once you entered, you might never come out.
“That’s good… if you go in, people will die.”
Qin Liu’s words made Li Rongjun sweat profusely.
Although he didn’t understand what had happened, it was very likely that the red shadow had saved his life.
After thinking about this, Li Rongjun felt much better about the chilling red shadow.
While Li Rongjun was observing Qin Liu, she was looking for Liu Haoyu.
Qin Liu was already very familiar with this place. Even though the corridor was pitch black, she still knew clearly where to go to lead these two people out.
Following behind Qin Liu, Li Rongjun also found that everything around him began to feel familiar, and even moonlight could shine into the room.
This finally made him, who was somewhat frightened by the oppressive environment, breathe a sigh of relief.
But the matter was far from over.
Li Rongjun suddenly remembered the corpse of the woman on the ceiling that he had encountered earlier, and immediately said:
“There are other ghosts in this house.”
“I know.”
Qin Liu wasn’t too surprised by this.
Her purpose for coming here with Liu Haoyu was to find ghosts.
Hearing Qin Liu’s calm reaction, Li Rongjun fell silent.
Right, she was also a ghost, so what was there to be afraid of?
His reminder seemed to be useless.
After walking for a while, Li Rongjun found that he had arrived at the entrance of the staircase on the first floor.
So, he looked back behind him with a look of surprise.
He had walked so far, but the distance between the staircase and that wall was… only ten meters.
Then where had he and Li Suqin gone?
Li Rongjun couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine as he thought about this.
If it wasn’t for the red shadow leading him out, he and Li Suqin would have really been finished.
“Ah!!!”
At this moment, a terrifying scream suddenly sounded from above.
The sound was extremely tragic and sharp, even making Li Rongjun’s ears hurt a little.
And along with the scream, there was the roar of thunder.
“What is this?”
Li Rongjun was confused, but Qin Liu was overjoyed.
As expected, Liu Haoyu was very powerful!
Even the fierce ghosts in this house couldn’t do anything to him.
“I’m going upstairs. You guys just go back the way you came along the corridor.”
With that, Qin Liu disappeared before Li Rongjun.
Seeing the red shadow disappear, Li Rongjun paused for a moment, then he looked at the dark corridor in front of him.
After careful consideration, he decided…
He would go upstairs with the red shadow!
Although there might be ghosts upstairs, what if he and Li Suqin got lost in the endless corridor again?
So, the middle-aged police officer started climbing the stairs.
Without the protection of the red shadow, his recently calmed mood became tense again.
Because he was carrying Li Suqin on his back, when he stepped on the wooden stairs, they would make a “creak” sound.
This sound made people’s teeth ache.
And in this gloomy environment, it was even more chilling.
In order to see the road ahead clearly, Li Rongjun took out Li Suqin’s mobile phone. Perhaps due to the ghost phone call he had encountered, he struggled internally for a while, but ultimately decided to turn on the flashlight.
His own flashlight had long since been lost somewhere, so he could only use his mobile phone’s flashlight for now.
But the phone’s light could not penetrate the darkness of the house. The dim light could only illuminate about two meters ahead.
In the dim visibility, Li Rongjun saw that the stairs, walls, and handrails… were all covered in dark red bloodstains.
And at the end of the light, he could faintly see the red shadow.
Seeing this, Li Rongjun quickened his pace.
The stairs were not long, so after a short while, he arrived on the second floor.
The second floor was filled with a strong stench. For Li Rongjun, a police officer, this smell was all too familiar.
It was the stench of decaying corpses.
He secretly swallowed his saliva.
But looking at the faintly visible red shadow not far away, he resolutely followed.
However, before he could take a few steps.
Heavy footsteps could be heard from not far away.
Tap…
Tap…
Tap…
Listening to this strange sound, Li Rongjun stared intently ahead and instinctively tightened his grip on his police baton.
“Who is it?”
Li Rongjun shouted.
But no one responded to him.
The footsteps continued to echo on the second floor, getting closer and closer…
Li Rongjun felt that these footsteps were a bit off.
A normal person walking would absolutely not have such long intervals between steps.
Thinking of this, his heart tightened, and he dared not make a sound. He could only watch the direction of the sound and slowly retreat back to the staircase.
“Who’s there?”
Li Rongjun shouted again.
But this time, no one responded to him either.
Having already experienced so many terrifying things, coupled with these heavy footsteps, it made him a startled bird.
Now he didn’t dare to chase the red shadow, he could only stand at the staircase, carefully shining the light towards the source of the sound.
But the phone’s light could not dispel this gloomy darkness. No matter how Li Rongjun shone it, he couldn’t see the appearance of the sound’s source.
“Ah!!!”
Another piercing scream, accompanied by thunderous roars, nearly scared the soul out of Li Rongjun.
At the same time, he saw a person wearing a black trench coat and a gas mask appear in the shadows not far away.
In his left hand, he held a blood-stained fire axe, its blade emitting a sharp cold light.
And in his right hand, was a woman’s head.
This person hadn’t found him yet…
Run!
Without knowing if the other party was human or ghost, Li Rongjun dared not linger. He immediately turned and prepared to go downstairs.
He followed the corridor all the way back and finally reached the main door of the house.
Tentatively twisting the doorknob, Li Rongjun was pleasantly surprised to find.
The main door was open!
So, he did not dare to delay, quickly escaped, put the comatose Li Suqin in the back seat, then got into the driver’s seat and sped away from this place.
Looking at the scenery receding on the roadside, Li Rongjun, who had just escaped from the gates of hell, completely collapsed.
He leaned back in the leather seat, enjoying this moment of peace.
“Finally escaped…”
Li Rongjun, who didn’t usually smoke, lit a cigarette for himself at this moment.
Through the rearview mirror, he saw that Li Suqin was still unconscious.
But judging by the rhythmic rise and fall of her chest, she was probably just asleep.
“I’ll take her home first.”
After driving for half an hour, Li Rongjun parked the car in the parking space downstairs.
He carried the unconscious Li Suqin on his back and walked towards home.
He arrived at the main door and was about to take out the key to enter the house.
At this moment, the middle-aged police officer was stunned.
In front of him, there was a red iron door.
