Chapter 54 Desperate Situation
“Officer Li!” Li Suqin, unaware of the true situation, thought she had contacted the police station and excitedly said, “We’re saved, right?”
Li Rongjun didn’t answer. He looked at the continuously ringing mobile phone and immediately gritted his teeth and hung up.
As soon as he hung up, the phone number consisting of all zeros called again.
This time, the call didn’t give Li Rongjun a chance to refuse.
The call was connected.
The pale green light of the mobile phone shone on Li Rongjun’s somber face.
“Why didn’t you answer the phone…”
A hoarse and terrifying female voice echoed in the quiet room.
The hands and feet of these two police officers had completely gone cold, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
“Why didn’t you answer my phone…”
Before it could even utter a third sentence, Li Rongjun immediately hung up the phone and completely turned it off.
However, what had happened had happened, and even after doing all this, the two of them were no longer at peace in their hearts.
Fear and unease occupied both of their minds.
Li Suqin’s trembling voice sounded.
“What… what just happened.”
“I don’t know.”
Li Rongjun’s teeth were also chattering a little. He reached for the handgun at his waist.
As things stood, perhaps only this could give him some room to resist.
He hoped that modern weapons would have some effect on ghosts and monsters…
Li Rongjun silently prayed in his heart, and at the same time, to reassure Li Suqin, he no longer hid his trump card.
Taking out the handgun, he loaded three bullets into it, and after pressing the safety button, this middle-aged police officer said.
“Things have gone beyond our expectations. It looks like we can only try to break through by force.”
“What is this?”
“A gun,” Li Rongjun said with certainty, “with bullets.”
“How did you get it?”
Although he couldn’t understand, Li Suqin’s mood had indeed calmed down significantly.
“Let’s go quickly.”
Li Rongjun took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door of the room.
The corridor outside was still very quiet.
This eerie, silent dead quiet sent a bone-chilling coldness.
Li Rongjun walked in front, holding his handgun. No matter what fierce or ferocious ghost it was, if he encountered it, he would immediately pull the trigger.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
Because the corridor was too quiet, the footsteps of the two people walking kept echoing.
Although the house didn’t look big from the outside, for some reason, the corridor they were walking down now seemed to be endless.
Looking forward was darkness, and looking back, they couldn’t see the way they came.
Even the door of the room they had just come from had completely disappeared.
“Was this place this big when we came here?”
“No.”
Li Rongjun forced himself to calm down. When the two of them stopped, for some reason, a very pungent smell of corpse began to permeate the air.
This smell became stronger and stronger, and the two of them felt as if they were standing next to a corpse, almost unable to breathe.
But Li Rongjun looked left and right, but found no trace of a corpse around him.
Just then, his mobile phone rang again.
“The sky-blue color awaits the misty rain, and I am waiting for you…”
Although the song usually sounded a bit romantic, for some reason, at this moment, it sounded so creepy.
But the problem was, Li Rongjun clearly remembered that his phone was already turned off.
How could a call be made?!
And this was not the main point, the main point was… he didn’t use this ringtone at all.
In a moment of stunned distraction, Li Rongjun’s phone was connected.
On the other end, a sentence came.
“I am above you…”
As soon as he heard this, Li Rongjun immediately aimed the muzzle of his gun upwards.
As he looked up, he saw a completely rotten face, with dry scalp tightly adhering to the skull.
The skin, devoid of moisture, was shrunken together, like pieces of dried orange peel.
The hollow eye sockets bulged as large as ping pong balls, but there were no pupils inside. Through these hollows, one could even see the tightly packed flesh and blood within.
Yellowish-long hair hung down with gravity, indicating that this corpse was a woman when she was alive.
Facing the disgusting and creepy scene, Li Rongjun felt nauseous. His instinct was to pull the trigger.
“Bang!! Bang!!”
Two gunshots shattered the silent corridor.
The bullets hit flesh and blood, and foul-smelling liquid splattered everywhere.
Even so, the corpse let out a terrifying whisper.
“Stay… stay…”
“Run!”
Seeing that the bullets had no effect, Li Rongjun quickly grabbed Li Suqin’s hand and ran along the corridor without stopping.
After running for a while, the two seemed to have returned to the residential house.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, before Li Rongjun could breathe a sigh of relief, his mobile phone rang again.
This time, Li Rongjun directly threw his mobile phone far away and continued to run forward.
Although he didn’t know where to run, it was better than sitting and waiting for death.
“No… I can’t anymore…” Li Suqin panted, saying, “I can’t run anymore.”
Li Suqin was not an front-line officer to begin with. Although she had undergone physical training, she definitely couldn’t compare to Li Rongjun.
Moreover, in a state of panic, her physical strength would naturally be consumed faster.
Seeing that Li Suqin couldn’t hold on, Li Rongjun had no choice but to find a room that looked relatively safe to hide in.
After looking around for a while, he noticed that at the end of the corridor, a rusty red iron door had appeared from somewhere.
But Li Rongjun clearly remembered that there was no such red iron door when he arrived!
What was going on?
At this moment, Li Rongjun suddenly struggled violently.
It was as if he was being grabbed by countless hands and dragged towards the iron door.
Seeing this, Li Suqin immediately sensed that something was wrong.
She stepped forward to try to pull Li Rongjun, but the terrifying pulling force was simply beyond her ability to resist.
Li Rongjun knew that he might not be able to escape death, so he shouted with his last bit of strength.
“Take the gun and run quickly!”
Saying that, the handgun in his hand fell powerlessly to the ground.
However, Li Suqin was already stunned by Li Rongjun’s hysterical shouting and the fear emanating from him. She stood there blankly, completely at a loss.
“Come in… come in…”
The eerie voice echoed in her mind. Although Li Suqin’s consciousness was clear, her body was no longer under her control.
This female police officer unconsciously picked up the weapon from the ground and aimed the dark muzzle at her own head.
Her pupils contracted, and she continuously tried to struggle, even her body began to tremble.
But it was all useless. In extreme despair, Li Suqin could only watch as her fingers, bit by bit, landed on the trigger.
