Chapter 58 (39/95)
“Bang!!”
An extremely heavy impact sound that even shook the floor.
Liu Haoyu took a step back.
He knew exactly what was outside.
He also knew that without weapons, he had virtually no chance against these three people.
“Open the door!”
“Bang!”
Each impact was more violent than the last, and even the iron door was shaking precariously.
With such a great commotion, there was no reaction from outside, which indicated that it was truly a ghost.
“Open the door… open the door… open the door…”
The voice from outside the door became increasingly ethereal and strange, as if merged together, completely losing its distinctiveness.
It turned into that overlapping, emotionless mechanical sound.
“Open the door…”
The rust on the door frame fell off, and the supposedly incredibly sturdy iron door was forcibly dented in pieces.
This was definitely not human strength.
At such a critical moment, Liu Haoyu immediately grabbed Qiu Leling’s hand and ran towards the interior of the house.
The impact continued, each sound louder than the last.
The current situation was completely beyond Liu Haoyu’s control.
According to the A4 paper, daytime was supposed to be a safe time.
Could it be that people killed by ghosts can act during the day?
The problem is, how many living people are left outside now?
“You hide in the cabinet.”
“Then… what about you?”
“I’ll try to slip away from them.”
The master bedroom was relatively spacious. If the other party rushed in, Liu Haoyu could still try to deal with them.
Moreover, the cabinet was located in the corner of the kitchen. If not inspected carefully, it would generally not be found.
“But…”
Qiu Leling wanted to say something, but Liu Haoyu had already closed the cabinet door.
The young girl hid in the cabinet, with an expression of helplessness.
The crashing sound that had been echoing in the room stopped abruptly without any warning.
The entire room fell back into that deadly silent state.
The sudden and strange disappearance of the crashing sound made Qiu Leling’s heart skip a beat.
Had those monsters outside already come in?
What was the current situation for Liu Haoyu?
Qiu Leling hid in the cabinet, but felt that besides the fishy smell in the air, there was also the smell of decaying corpses.
Immediately after, footsteps echoed from the living room.
The footsteps were very heavy, as if four or five people were superimposed.
Qiu Leling placed her hands on her chest, her eyes glued to the slight gap in the cabinet door.
From here, she couldn’t see the entire living room.
The white light filtering in from outside made the room appear even darker and gloomier.
The heavy footsteps echoed in the room, and Qiu Leling silently prayed in her heart, hoping that the other party wouldn’t find her, and also hoping that Liu Haoyu could escape and survive.
The footsteps stopped, but Qiu Leling still couldn’t see the monster’s location.
She felt her heart about to jump out of her throat. The tension and panic in her heart made her body as tense as a stone.
“Tap…”
The footsteps sounded again.
Through the gap in the cabinet, Qiu Leling saw a huge black shadow appear in the living room.
Her pupils contracted, and her breathing stopped.
Although she couldn’t see the true appearance of this black shadow clearly, judging by its height, this was indeed the 1.9-meter tall strong man she had encountered before!
This guy was looking around as if searching for Liu Haoyu’s location?
In the silent stillness, the tall figure continued to walk in the living room.
It came under the white light, and with the help of that faint and dim white light, Qiu Leling finally saw the appearance of this figure.
It was a pieced-together corpse.
Parts of four or five people were sewn onto the tall man’s body.
The stitching was torn and bloody, a horrific sight, with the exposed white bones visible inside.
An arm stuck out from its abdomen, and female sexual organs were attached to the man’s back, opening and closing, vaguely revealing… two rows of unknown teeth stuffed inside.
Because it bore the weight of four or five people, the entire upper body of this corpse was crooked.
The various stitching points were rotten and black, and the flesh on the palms was gone, showing a sickening black color in the white light.
Even more terrifyingly, hideous and terrifying human faces grew from various parts of its body, undoubtedly these were people killed by ghosts.
“Tap…”
The heavy footsteps sounded again and approached directly in Qiu Leling’s direction.
The girl in the cabinet was startled.
Had this monster discovered her?
The footsteps outside the cabinet continued to approach slowly.
The closer it got, the more intense the smell of blood and rot in the air became.
Until it stopped in front of the cabinet.
In the dimly lit room, dead silence fell again.
Qiu Leling’s body tensed, and she subconsciously held her breath and closed her eyes.
Even without looking, she knew that she was separated from the monster outside by only one door.
She dared not move, nor breathe.
At such a close distance, if her breathing exposed her existence, it would truly be over!
Just as Qiu Leling’s face turned red from holding her breath and her body trembled, a rapid knocking sound suddenly erupted in the living room.
This sound seemed to be the sound of a table leg knocking on the iron door.
Upon hearing the sound, the monster suddenly disappeared from Qiu Leling’s sight.
As if teleporting, it went somewhere unknown.
The smell of rot in the air had faded considerably.
Although silence was restored, this time, Qiu Leling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The monster had left, but the problem was, what about Liu Haoyu?
——————
On the other side, Liu Haoyu successfully bypassed the pieced-together corpse and reached the iron door that had been forced open.
He saw that the monster was still searching the house. To ensure Qiu Leling’s safety, he suddenly knocked on the iron door several times before starting to run towards the first floor.
This ghost’s strength was very strong, even stronger than a chángguǐ.
But Liu Haoyu had plenty of experience with ghosts.
It was just that he didn’t have any weapons…
Liu Haoyu returned to the first floor. The apartment where countless people had hidden was now extremely quiet.
It was as if everyone had died.
In the empty hall, Liu Haoyu searched for anything he could use.
Even a piece of white paper would allow him to draw a Zhenlei Talisman on the spot.
However, after all this time, Liu Haoyu couldn’t find a single complete piece of white paper in this place.
The A4 paper in his hand was written on both sides, so he couldn’t draw a talisman.
Just as Liu Haoyu was at a loss, a heavy thud came from his feet.
He quickly turned his head to look, but when he saw the object that made the sound, he was slightly stunned.
Isn’t this… isn’t this my backpack?
