In recent years, various places had prospered and flourished. Many old and dangerous buildings had been demolished and new buildings had been uprooted.
There were two apartment buildings in Longteng District.
An apartment had been demolished and converted into a new apartment.
The apartment next to it had not been demolished yet. It was said that it would be demolished and rebuilt in the near future.
The old-fashioned apartment was old and dilapidated. The walls were peeling off, and the corners were covered in moss. The years had left traces on it, like a skinny old man entering his twilight years.
As evening came, the sun gradually set and the blazing sun was bright red…
The newly built apartment was brightly lit, and laughter could be heard from time to time. It was warm and harmonious.
The old apartment next door was no longer occupied because it was going to be demolished and rebuilt. There were no lights on each floor. It was dim and filled with the aura of old age, making people feel depressed.
On the empty floor, the windows were all open.
Under the setting sun, every window was pitch black. It was impossible to see what was inside, as if there were huge mouths in the abyss.
A gust of wind blew past.
The leaves of the old trees in front of the apartment rustled.
The swaying shadows of the trees were like demons waiting for the night to fall. They watched the sun set in the west with joy in their hearts. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws, wanting to cage the people passing by into darkness.
The night gradually came.
The last rays of the sunset cast a long shadow on the old apartment. It was like a giant shadow beast was hibernating there, quietly watching the apartment.
Patter, patter.
Suddenly, a bell-like laughter came from the old-fashioned apartment. Slight footsteps sounded as if children were playing football in the corridor.
Lin Wei was a middle-aged office worker who lived in the new apartment in Longteng District.
Five days ago, Lin Wei moved into the new apartment with his wife and daughter. They didn't live in Longteng Community before.
Her daughter, Jiajia, was very lively. In five days, she had become a good friend of the children in the community.
As the old apartment was empty, it became a place for children to explore and play.
Today, Lin Wei came home from work. As usual, he listened to the laughter of the silver bells coming from the old-fashioned apartment and walked up to the old-fashioned apartment.
He wanted to call his daughter Jiajia home for dinner.
Jiajia, it's time to eat. Stop playing."
Lin Wei shouted from the fourth floor of the old apartment.
The laughter was still echoing, but no one responded to Lin Wei. He shouted again.
Jiajia, it's time to eat."
Patter, patter.
The sound of the football hitting the wall echoed in the apartment and in Lin Wei's ears. Still, no one responded to him.
However, the silver-scaled child's laughter was still there.
Lin Wei was a little angry. He had already called his daughter four or five times and she still did not reply. Was she addicted to playing?
He didn't plan to shout anymore and went straight to the fourth floor to bring his daughter home for dinner.
As soon as he stepped onto the fourth floor, the bell-like laughter of the children suddenly disappeared. It was as if a falling stone had suddenly stopped.
The surroundings fell into a deathly silence. The size of the Rakshasa in front and behind made people unable to react for a moment.
Lin Wei's step stopped in mid-air. He was a little stunned, and then he revealed an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Are you planning to play hide-and-seek?"
Obviously, he thought that his daughter was playing hide-and-seek with her friend and did it on purpose.
Lin Wei shook his head. The sound disappeared on the fourth floor, which meant that the children were hiding somewhere on the fourth floor.
There were only four or five rooms on the fourth floor, so it was easy to find them.
From left to right, he carefully searched every room, not missing a single sound.
At this moment, there was no other sound in the old-fashioned apartment other than Lin Wei's footsteps and breathing. It was abnormally quiet, so quiet that it revealed a hint of strangeness.
Lin Wei was so focused on looking for his daughter that he did not notice this. The old-fashioned apartment was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop…
In the first room, there was no one in the living room…no one in the bedroom…no one in the kitchen…no one in the toilet.
After leaving the first room, he continued to walk to the second room.
The apartment was still silent.
Soon, the search of the second room was completed. There was no one there.
At this moment, Lin Wei finally noticed something strange.
At this moment, the old-fashioned apartment was unbelievably quiet. Other than his own figure, there was no other sound.
He held his breath and listened carefully to the movements in the old apartment.
In the quiet old-fashioned apartment, he could hear his own heartbeat, but there was no sound at all.
He was terrified.
Something was wrong, something was very wrong!
Why was there not a single sound in the apartment, not even the sound of breathing?
If it wasn't for the sound of his heartbeat, he would have thought that he was deaf.
Seeing that night was gradually approaching, Lin Wei, who was worried about his daughter, did not leave the apartment. He continued to search the apartment and blamed everything on scaring himself.
The third room was empty.
The fourth room was empty.
Filled with anxiety, Lin Wei searched for the fifth room.
In the end, there was still no one!
Lin Wei's face was pale and cold sweat was dripping down his back.
How could there be no one? How could this be…
He was sure that the children would not have moved to another hiding spot while he was searching the house.
Because, after he sensed the strangeness, he had been paying attention to the sounds around him.
He would pay attention to even the slightest movement.
However, other than the sound he made, there was no other sound, not even the sound of breathing.
He was 100% sure that his daughter and the others were laughing on the fourth floor.
But why couldn't he find her?
Pa!
Suddenly, there was a clear sound of something falling to the ground. Lin Wei, who had been tense all this time, was shocked. He felt that his throat was about to jump out.
"Who is it?"
Lin Wei shouted and turned to look at the door behind him. His pupils suddenly constricted.
A ball had appeared at the door of the fifth room.
The ball bounced and bounced on the ground until it gradually fell to the ground and stopped at the door, motionless.
Looking at the ball, Lin Wei's scalp went numb and his mouth was dry. It was as if there was something stuffed in his throat. It was very uncomfortable. His chest rose and fell violently in an attempt to relieve the discomfort in his respiratory tract.
"Jiajia, is that you? Stop fooling around. Daddy is going to be angry."
Lin Wei said.
There was still no response.
Lin Wei had no choice but to take a step forward. He had never felt his feet so heavy before, as if they were filled with lead. However, he had no choice but to walk, for his daughter and for himself.
It was a distance of five to six steps, but Lin Wei walked for more than ten seconds.
Lin Wei swallowed hard when he was in front of the ball. He first looked around the floor corridor in fear.
The corridor was empty.
Seeing this, he bent down and picked up the ball under his feet. The moment his gaze moved away from the ball, Lin Wei's hair stood on end. His pupils constricted violently, and all the hair on his body stood on end.
"Uncle, are you looking for a ball?"
In front of the ball, a pair of small feet appeared. Looking along the small feet, it was a child, a little boy with a pale face like a paper doll.
"Ah!"
Lin Wei screamed and threw away the ball in his hand in fear. He sat on the ground, his back soaked, and a ball of fire seemed to be shooting out of his chest.
He looked in horror at the little boy who was as pale as a ghost in front of him. The ball gradually rolled to the little boy's feet. At this moment, a silver bell-like voice sounded behind him.
"Daddy, I found you."
It was the figure of his daughter, Jia Jia.
Lin Wei was relieved, and joy appeared on his face. He quickly turned his neck to look behind him.
"Jia…"
Lin Wei's joy came to an abrupt end after he said half a word…
"Ah!"
An endless scream of horror resounded through the fourth floor of the apartment.
