Xiaozi was no longer in the mood to watch the live broadcast. The surrounding Yin Qi was extremely dense, and drops of water had already condensed on the wall.
The water droplets fell to the ground, making a dripping sound.
In the dark and gloomy room 4, the walls were filled with knife marks that looked like wounds. The white paint on the surface had fallen off, revealing the blood-stained walls. It was a shocking sight.
Holding the dagger, Xiaozi sat by the bed, just like Sister Hong. Although his body was tired, he still stared at the door with his eyes wide open.
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Time slowly passed. Gradually, fatigue and sleepiness swept over him, and his eyelids became extremely heavy. However, just as Xiaozi was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a strange sound and immediately woke up.
呯呯呯--
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was like a knife cutting a chopping board, accompanied by the crisp sound of plates clashing.
This sound was very common and had appeared in many people's kitchen before. However, when it appeared here and now, it made people's hearts jump.
Chop the meat!
The sound of meat being chopped came from downstairs. It sounded like it was right below Room 4.
The old landlord was chopping meat in the middle of the night?
His mood tensed up again. Xiaozi's eyes were wide open, and he was no longer sleepy.
It was already past three in the morning. The livestream room was quiet. The netizens seemed to have gone to sleep.
Only a few of them were talking casually.
Without the company of his fans, there was only a strange woman who was sleeping beside him, and the other female ghost, Xiaozi, was nowhere to be seen!
Deep fear rose in his heart.
Imagine a bun shop with a rumor of human barbecued pork buns. What would you think of the sound of meat being chopped in the middle of the night?
呯呯呯--
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of meat being chopped was unusually clear in the gloomy and quiet hotel. It knocked on Xiaozi's fragile nerves.
A terrifying scene appeared in his mind.
A malevolent-looking old man was holding a bloody kitchen knife and chopping the meat on the chopping board.
Xiaozi shuddered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Perhaps this old man had some special hobby and liked to chop meat and make buns in the middle of the night?
He had just escaped a calamity, so it was better to avoid trouble. As long as that old man didn't do anything to Xiaozi, Xiaozi wouldn't care what he was doing.
Although he comforted himself like this, it was impossible for Xiaozi to fall asleep. There were still more than two hours before dawn, so he might as well stay awake.
He glanced at Sister Hong. Her breathing was steady and she was sleeping well. There shouldn't be any more trouble.
Getting up from the bed, Xiaozi paced back and forth in the room, moving his numb hands and feet, and then there was nothing else to do.
The room was only so big. Xiaozi didn't dare to open the door without knowing if the ghost was guarding outside.
Looking at the empty livestream room, he suddenly missed his fans.
With them chatting and joking, not only did the fear and depression in her heart fade, but time also passed faster.
"Is there anyone else here?"
There were only a few viewers left in the live broadcast room, but no one responded. Xiaozi guessed that they should have fallen asleep with their phones in their arms.
The sound of chopping meat continued. The landlord seemed to be stomping very carefully and seriously. It was unknown when he would stop.
It made people feel upset and uneasy.
Holding the Spirit Stabilizing Talisman tightly in his hand, Xiaozi felt that time had never been so difficult. He almost couldn't help but go downstairs to investigate.
The mission given by the live broadcast was to stay in Room 4 for the whole night. If Xiaozi ran out halfway, he might be deemed as a failure in the live broadcast and might even be directly erased.
Xiaozi didn't dare to try.
"Endure it!"
She took out a tissue from her bag, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into her ear. Finally, she felt a little better.
Fortunately, about an hour later, the numbing sound of meat being chopped finally stopped.
The bun shop returned to silence, and Xiaozi let out a long sigh of relief.
If he persisted a little longer, the sky would be bright soon. Hopefully, nothing terrible would happen tonight.
However, according to the law, the more one feared something, the more likely it would happen.
When it was almost dawn, the sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs could be heard from outside the corridor.
The old man went upstairs?
What was he doing upstairs at this time?
An ominous premonition rose in his heart. Xiaozi quietly got off the bed, walked to the door, and put his ear on the door.
There were light footsteps in the corridor, and they were getting closer and closer.
The old man was here!
Panicking, Xiaozi looked left and right, and finally crawled under the bed.
Damn it, Xiaozi didn't think that the old man would be so easy to deal with. The system wouldn't let him take advantage of the loophole.
He put his phone on silent mode and covered the screen to calm himself down.
The other party was clearly an old man with one foot in the grave. Xiaozi did not know why he was so afraid, and his eyelids twitched violently.
Clack--
The locked door was opened again. With a creaking sound, the door was pushed open.
"Honey, don't worry. The dipping sauce will be ready soon.”It was the old man's hoarse voice. He seemed to be talking to someone.
?
What was the dipping sauce in his mouth?
The lights were switched on.
The dim yellow light lit up. From Xiaozi's angle, he could only see a pair of feet wearing black cloth shoes walking in.
If the old man was alone, then who was he talking to?
The black cloth shoes stopped at the side of the bed, less than a meter away from Xiaozi. Xiaozi's heart was beating fast.
"Damn it! Why is there nothing?" The old man's shocked voice sounded. He seemed to be very angry as he quickly paced back and forth in the room. After a while, he stopped by the bed.
"My wife won't be happy if there's no sauce.”The old man spoke again. His voice was filled with strangeness.
Xiaozi's heart trembled inexplicably, and a sense of uneasiness instantly spread.
Originally, Xiaozi thought that Sister Hong was already strange enough, and that tonight's experience was also terrifying enough. However, the fear that these two combined gave me was not as great as the fear that this old man currently gave me.
The old man stood by the bed and seemed to be doing something, but Xiaozi, who was hiding under the bed, could not see him at all.
The strong uneasiness was like a powerful hand that tightly gripped my heart. Xiaozi felt that if I didn't go out now, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Gritting his teeth, Xiaozi grabbed the old man's skinny ankle and pulled hard.
Caught off guard, the old man's body swayed and he fell to the floor.
Ding! Ding!
At the same time, a bloody kitchen knife fell beside the old man.
As expected!
Before the old man could react, Xiaozi quickly crawled out from under the bed and grabbed the kitchen knife first.
The other hand grabbed the old man's foot and threw him against the wall. The wall was shaken by the powerful force, as if it would collapse in the next second.
What shocked him was that the old man actually stood up again under Xiaozi's powerful strength. Which old man could do this?
Xiaozi knew that it wasn't that simple.
The old man was shocked. His aged face wrinkled, and his turbid eyes looked at Xiaozi angrily.
He probably didn't expect his prey to have such strength.
Sister Hong, who was lying on the bed, had already woken up. She hugged the blanket and curled up at the foot of the bed. She looked at the scene in the room with a very bad expression, as if she was thinking about something.
"Come here quickly. The boss is not a good person.”Xiaozi shouted at her anxiously.
Sister Hong understood what he meant and slid down from the bed like a fish. She quickly ran behind him barefooted.
The old man got up from the ground and stared coldly at Xiaozi with a gloomy face. His eyes were indescribably terrifying.
"Don't come over. Don't think that I don't dare to hit an old man!”Xiaozi waved the kitchen knife at the old man.
Unfortunately, he wasn't a threat. Not only was the old man not afraid, but he also walked towards me in large strides.
His expression was ferocious, and his old face began to twist. It was a strange feeling, as if something was about to come out of his body.
At this moment, a thin ray of light passed through the window and shone on the white tiles.
The sky was finally bright!
Xiaozi heaved a sigh of relief. Generally, no matter how strong a ghost was, they would be afraid of sunlight. Even if they were not afraid, their strength would be greatly weakened. At that time, Xiaozi would not be at the mercy of others.
