Chapter 21 Who Is Knocking On The Window
At this moment, Qiu Leling finally understood one thing.
What she was controlling in the computer was not a game character at all.
It was a ghost!
Even more fatally, she vaguely felt hurried footsteps coming from behind her.
Something was running towards her!
The character in the game also became uncontrollable, emitting strange laughter.
And, the same laughter also appeared behind her.
The sounds from the game and the sounds from reality mixed together, making it so harsh and terrifying.
Qiu Leling wanted to stand up, but a pair of ice-cold hands had already touched her shoulders.
That icy chill made Qiu Leling unable to move.
Just as she despaired, the jade pendant that Liu Zining gave her on the computer desk suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.
The white light became brighter and brighter, just like the sun in the night.
“Ahhhh!!!”
Under the illumination of the white light, an unbelievable and piercing scream came from behind.
The hand pressing on Qiu Leling’s shoulder also loosened.
She regained her freedom.
This white light had become Qiu Leling’s only lifeline.
Taking advantage of the fierce ghost being blinded by the white light, she grabbed the jade pendant and turned to place it against her chest.
It seemed as if this could drive away the fierce ghost that had intruded into the house.
The screaming gradually disappeared, and the white light emitted by the jade pendant also dissipated little by little.
When the room returned to darkness, she slumped onto the gaming chair, her face, which had been terrified, turned pale.
What had just happened was so real, and it made her understand one thing.
There are indeed ghosts in this world.
But what should she do now?
Was that ghost dead or not?
Qiu Leling’s hand tightly grasped the jade pendant.
She didn’t know what to do. Leaving the house was dangerous, and staying in the room didn’t seem much safer.
What was even more fatal was that there were “bang bang bang” knocking sounds from the window.
Qiu Leling quickly turned her head to look at the window.
The window was empty, with nothing there, and she could still see the moon outside.
Could it be the wind?
No… that’s not right.
Soon, she remembered something.
In the game, before she entered the villa, there was a fierce ghost with a swollen face from being soaked in water, clinging to the window.
In other words, it was the ghost knocking on the window…
The more she thought about it, the more her scalp tingled.
Her nerves were stretched to the extreme.
Any slight disturbance could scare her half to death.
Holding the jade pendant, the young girl faced the window and retreated.
She retreated to the bed and turned on all the lights in the room.
The bright and soft light could not warm her icy body.
She returned to the computer, and the screen still showed the scene of that horror game.
It was just that the game had completely frozen at the moment she entered the room.
But just from this scene, Qiu Leling could clearly see.
On the window beside her… there was indeed a ferocious and terrifying fierce ghost clinging.
That ghost was constantly knocking on the window, as if it could break into the room at any second.
This scene made goosebumps cover her entire body.
Qiu Leling’s hand tightly clenched the jade pendant, and due to excessive force, her palm was pressed white without any blood.
Cold sweat dripped from her forehead.
That’s right!
Since this jade pendant was given to her by Liu Zining, she must have some way to deal with it.
Thinking of this, Qiu Leling suddenly grasped a glimmer of hope for survival.
She quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed Liu Zining’s number.
After a long waiting tone, the call finally connected.
“Hello?”
But when Liu Zining on the other end of the computer spoke, Qiu Leling suddenly felt a faint sense of unease in her heart.
Why was her tone…
It was like receiving a call from a stranger.
However, the voice was indeed Liu Zining’s, so Qiu Leling didn’t think too much about it.
So she quickly said.
“Ningning, there’s a ghost at my house!”
“Your house?” Liu Zining on the other end of the phone was very confused, but still asked with a solemn expression, “Who are you, and where is your house?”
But after getting this answer, she was stunned.
No… no, no!
How could Liu Zining not recognize her!
The person on the other end of the phone was very likely also a ghost!
So, Qiu Leling immediately hung up the phone.
She leaned back on the chair, her breathing becoming very erratic from extreme fear.
The knocking sound on the window continued.
That sound was like the death knell of a god of death, constantly torturing Qiu Leling’s nerves.
Holding the jade pendant tightly, Qiu Leling took a deep breath and focused her gaze back on the screen.
She tried to control the character on the screen. Perhaps heaven heard Qiu Leling’s prayer, and she soon found that she could control the character on the screen again!
Although she didn’t know what the principle of this game was, she, who had read many horror novels and ghost stories, knew very well that to escape this predicament, she had to rely on the computer screen in front of her.
The fierce ghost outside, which she controlled, seemed to follow the instructions on the computer.
Even if there was no way to make the game character commit suicide or die, before the fierce ghost on the window smashed the window, she made the character run far away, and then she would take the opportunity to escape the room.
Now, that’s all she could do.
Qiu Leling controlled the game character, left the villa, and walked along the forest path.
After a certain distance, Qiu Leling could escape to a place with more people from the opposite direction.
As long as there were more people, that ghost shouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous.
As time passed, Qiu Leling controlled the fierce ghost on the screen and entered the vast forest.
At this time, the knocking sound on the window was still continuing. Qiu Leling took a deep breath, then opened the room door, and holding the jade pendant in her hand, ran forward with all her might.
She left the villa.
Even though there was a faint white mist outside, she was very familiar with this area, so even with the mist, she knew how to get to the roadside.
“I see the road!”
Qiu Leling knew that as long as she crossed this road and ran another hundred meters, she could directly reach the bustling pedestrian street. Although it was 3 AM, there were many people living there, and if shouted a couple of times, someone would probably hear.
“Beep beep!!”
But when she reached the road, a piercing honking sound sounded beside her.
At some point, a bus stopped in front of her.
Looking at the bus that suddenly blocked her way, Qiu Leling was stunned.
At this hour… where did a bus come from?
She suspiciously looked at the bus’s license plate, but when she saw the number 514, she was instantly startled to her wits.
Not long ago, she had heard a rumor.
Every night at midnight, the 514 bus, which had fallen into the river years ago because a passenger grabbed the steering wheel, would appear silently. Once you got on, after getting off, that person would no longer be yourself…
Qiu Leling slowly took a step back, wanting to escape, but at this moment, a pair of pale, swollen hands suddenly appeared behind her.
This hand pressed against Qiu Leling’s back and pushed her forward with force.
The force was so great that Qiu Leling had no time to react before she was pushed into the bus, her head hitting the ground with a dull thud.
“Creak…”
The bus door slowly closed.
Qiu Leling covered her slightly swollen forehead and struggled to stand up.
She looked up and observed the situation inside the bus cabin.
The seats on the bus were full. The moment she got on, these passengers with pale, swollen faces all turned their heads in unison. Their hollow, lifeless eyes met Qiu Leling’s gaze and fell upon her.
But even though these people had no expression, Qiu Leling could still feel the greed and malice they cast upon her.
The young girl retreated helplessly.
Their eyes seemed to want to devour her.
She wanted to get off the bus, but the doors were locked, and she couldn’t escape.
Jumping out the window… she didn’t have that much courage.
Just as Qiu Leling was at a loss, the bus suddenly stopped.
A few pale-faced passengers got off, but a few more got on.
Qiu Leling wanted to squeeze out, but the other party gave her no opportunity at all.
She could only watch as the door closed again, with only despair remaining in her heart.
“Everyone, raise your hands…”
At this moment, a newly boarded passenger suddenly uttered a low voice that was fierce and intimidating,Ling Meng Ang (nine) Neighboring ⑤ Three (eight) Qi Yi ⑶.
Qiu Leling turned her gaze to this passenger.
The person was wearing a grim gas mask and holding a blood-stained fire axe in their hand.
“This bus belongs to me now.”
Isn’t this the delivery guy?!
