Chapter 58: Breaking ground 15┃ Jumping the window.

Ke Xun felt good in his heart, but his heart was still tense. It was not until the old man did the same thing to 616 and then slowly left, that he was relieved.
The old man didn't go downstairs, and he didn't know where he was going. Perhaps as Mu Yiran said, the old man was a kind of field.
Just when Ke Xun was about to lie down to sleep, there was a sudden knock on the door next door 410. This knock on the door was very strange, almost unexpected to everyone.
Immediately afterwards, there was another miserable scream next door.
The scream was familiar, it seemed to come from Sha Liu.
The relaxed heart suddenly tightened again, Ke Xun came to the window lightly, but found that there was no one in front of 410's door.
Then there was another scream of horror next door, Sha Liu and Qiu Lu's voices one after another, all kinds of noises came from the room, I don't know what danger they encountered inside.
Finally, Ke Xun heard the sound of the big window opening next door, which was the big window facing the concrete wall...
At dawn, the first thing everyone rushed out of the room was to look down over the railing to see if there were corpses covered with white cloth in the courtyard.
At the first glance, Ke Xun looked forward to seeing everything in the yard as usual, and he felt relaxed but quickly complicated.
But Mu Yiran stared at something hanging on the clothesline in front of door 410—it was a plastic red whistle tied with a dirty thin nylon rope.
Although it was daytime, this blood-red whistle made people horrible. Sha Liu opened the door and came out, obviously shocked by this whistle.
"What's going on? This must be left by the ghost last night!" Sha Liu looked at the whistle that swayed slightly in the wind, and walked around far away, "Why should the whistle be tied to our door?!" "
Mu Yiran's voice was cold: "Because someone knocked on your door last night, I probably wanted to leave the whistle for you."
Sha Liu was frightened by this statement, and heard Ke Xun ask: "What happened to you last night? Where is Qiu Lu?"
Sha Liu was startled and shivered: "Qiu Lu? The knock on the door last night was terrifying. It seemed that someone had entered our house and knocked over a lot of things... She, Qiu Lu, jumped down from the fourth floor window... "
Ke Xun’s first reaction was to rush into 410. Looking down from the open window, the black and gray concrete wall still stood stubbornly in front of him, half an arm wide enough to allow one person to jump down, and Ke Xun used his mobile phone to illuminate the black hole. Below, I didn't see anything.
"Someone entered your room last night?" Mu Yiran's tone was questioning.
Saliu swallowed and nodded.
"What happened? What were you doing after Qiu Lu jumped down?"
"I... don't know anything," Sha Liu shook his head, then looked at the red whistle dangling in front of the house, "I fainted, and when I woke up, it was already bright."
Mu Yiran looked at Sha Liu with inquiring eyes, and said nothing.
Everyone went downstairs and gathered in the courtyard. Wei Dong and Zhu Haowen finally walked down. Wei Dong was still complaining there: "Make something big and big face toss about, I'm not over with him! I said how to give the curtains We picked it..."
Before Wei Dong finished speaking, suddenly several people walked in carrying a corpse covered with white cloth. Everyone's heart sank. Qin Ci asked, "How did the corpse come in from outside?"
The person carrying the body said: "The body was found at the root of the concrete wall. Please check if it is yours."
Everyone took a step back subconsciously, especially Sha Liu, hiding far away and dare not come over.
Finally Qin Ci lifted the white cloth: "It's Qiu Lu."
Qiu Lu finally died.
"Did you fall to death?" Ke Xun asked.
Qin Ci's expression was somewhat puzzled, and he lifted all the white cloth for overall inspection.
Mu Yiran also stepped forward, and Ke Xun followed. Everyone has experienced too much life and death, and now they have long lost the fear and resistance they had before facing the corpse.
Qiu Lu's expression was very peaceful, if it weren't for losing her breath, she seemed to be asleep right now.
Qiu Lu's body was covered with dirt, and her whole body seemed to be pulled out of the dirt. There was dirt in her clothes and shoes.
Qin Ci lightly pressed Qiu Lu's chin, and found that the other party's mouth was also full of dirt. He looked sideways and observed his ears, and the ears were also full of dirt.
The soil is very soft, with plant roots mixed in it, and occasionally one or two insects can crawl out.
"No wonder we didn't hear the sound of her jumping off the building last night. It turned out that she was buried in the soil." Ke Xun's eyes looked at Sha Liu who was hiding in the distance, with cold eyes.
"Okay, carry it out." The doorman's voice rang.
Soon, Qiu Lu's body was carried out of the gate again.
Wei Dong looked at the people present: "Where is Xinmiao?"
Everyone discovered that Xinmiao hadn't appeared since dawn.
"Go to 402 and see." Mu Yiran took the lead upstairs, and everyone followed.
Except for Zhu Haowen and Sha Liu.
Zhu Haowen raised his eyes from the phone: "Why don't you go?"
Sha Liu insisted on a strong tone: "Didn't you also go there?"
Zhu Haowen looked at Sha Liu with complicated eyes, did not speak any more, and continued to lower his head to play the game.
But Sha Liu turned upstairs, a little impatient.
The door of 402 was kept locked, but no one agreed when the door was called. In the end, it was knocked open by several people, but there was no one in the room.
"Xinmiao? Are you there?" Wei Dong called twice without responding.
Room 402 was the same as before, full of traces of the fire. On a large bed, 2/3 of the wooden boards were burnt black, and Xinmiao's single bed mat was placed on the innermost wall.
I don't know how this girl spent two horrible nights alone.
The inside of the bedroom opened to the large window of the concrete wall, and Mu Yiran stepped forward: "Here is the person."
Xinmiao was stuck in the narrow gap between the second and third floors. Maybe the concrete wall was not so straight. Some places were uneven. People jumped from above and got stuck in the middle.
"People are still alive." Mu Yiran's words made everyone energetic, only Sha Liu was getting farther and farther away from everyone, and his face became paler.
It may be more troublesome to save people. In the end, Ke Xun volunteered to let people tie his waist with a rope, and then slowly climbed down, and another rope tied Xinmiao's waist, which only saved people bit by bit.
Xin Miao was dumbfounded, eyes blank.
"This child is scared." Old Li Taiyong followed everyone up because of worry.
If you didn’t guess wrong, Xinmiao should have jumped out of the window because of fear when the old man appeared at the window last night. After this calculation, she was stuck in a narrow crevice in the dark for almost all night. Can't go up and down, suffocate, and terrifying.
No matter what everyone said, Xin Miao looked dazed.
Weidong suddenly became a little angry: "Why would she jump the window?"
The answer to him was the silence of everyone and Xinmiao's sluggishness.
"Obviously Yafen knocked on the door of 402 the night before. The sense of horror was no less than that of last night. Xinmiao didn't even think about jumping the window at that time. Why didn't he want to open the window last night?!" Wei Dong always felt something was wrong. Strange.
Ke Xun looked at Sha Liu who was standing at the door: "Coincidentally, Qiu Lu jumped out of the window last night. Sometimes it is like this. When there is no way out, people may be able to hold their teeth. Back road, then most people will choose to retreat to the end of the back road."
Sha Liu suddenly became angry and stared at Ke Xun: "What do you see me doing? I didn't make them jump through the window! We just discussed about jumping the window out of fear."
Weidong walked directly to Sha Liu: "Then why don't you jump?!"
Sha Liu was forced to take two steps back by Weidong, and suddenly shouted with tears: "I am afraid too! I dare not jump! What are you doing? Are you trying to force me to jump too?!"
There was a sudden giggle from the room, and it was Xinmiao.
Xinmiao stood up with a grin, as if she couldn't see everyone, humming a song and went out, doing some very professional ballet poses in the corridor, and then ran all the way downstairs.
Xin Miao was crazy.
Everyone also went downstairs one after another.
The concierge waited for everyone with the big key plate: "The lock of 402 is repaired, and the key is collected."
"Why collect the keys? 402 is still living!" Wei Dong said.
"nobody."
"But..." Wei Dong looked at Xin Miao dancing on the second floor, "We haven't checked out yet!"
As if he hadn't heard him, the concierge stretched out his fingers and started to count the number of people: "There are seven people in total, all of them are here. Let's eat quickly."
Ke Xun looked at the people around him. It was indeed seven people, but if Xin Miao was added, it should be eight people.
Everyone seemed to have thought of something, but no one said it.
Wei Dong's eye circles were a little red, and Ke Xun stepped forward and put his arms around Wei Dong's shoulders: "Xin Miao's journey in the painting is over."
Wei Dong looked at Xin Miao on the second floor, "But I know the people are still there, I can pant and dance!"
"But in the real world, Xin Miao is dead." Qin Ci's tone was also heavy.
"Perhaps this is also a relief." Ke Xun pulled Wei Dong into the restaurant.
In the end, everyone had to accept this fact and entered the restaurant in silence.
Sha Liu seemed to adjust her emotions quickly and cleared her throat before the dinner table: "Don't you think it's weird? The concierge did not tell us about 307 today."
Everyone also found it strange. As usual, after an accident last night, the concierge would summon everyone to talk about the events in the room before the accident, or it could be said that it was the origin of the death last night.
This kind of speech is often done before breakfast, but today is an exception.
"This can only explain one thing," Zhu Haowen chewed the buns blankly. "Last night's death has nothing to do with 307."
Everyone was obviously surprised by this inference, but after deliberation, this seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.
"Then how did the two of them die?" Wei Dong asked directly.
"If you scare yourself, you are scared to death." Zhu Haowen remained expressionless.
Sha Liu didn't want to stay longer on this issue, and directly analyzed: "If the 307 issue is not resolved, will it be done again tonight?"
Everyone remembered the huge face outside the window last night, a little scared and a little impatient.
Sha Liu continued: "There was no death call incident last night. Is it possible that if no door is knocked, the terrorist events of the previous night will loop indefinitely?"
Ke Xun sneered and knocked the egg in his hand without saying anything. Sa Liu is trying to prove to everyone that the reason why the NPC did not explain the death is because no member knocked on the door to summon last night, not because of other...
"This statement seems to be in line with the rules," Zhu Haowen glanced at Sha Liu. "It's just that the old man last night did no real harm to people. Unless there is an enhanced version tonight, you will really enter a dead end in an endless loop. "
"The horror room is secondary, the important thing is breaking the ground," Mu Yiran's voice rang, "We have been here for four days. If you guessed correctly, the ground breaking should be completed on the seventh day."
Yes, breaking ground is the biggest event in the whole painting.
Zhu Haowen said: "616 has become more severely deformed. The house is no longer a cube, and there has been a visible gathering of the entire patio."
"But, we have searched all the places we should look for." Qin Ci said.
"You can't be too impatient about this," Li Taiyong said. "Did Xiao Ke'er find some bamboo shoots yesterday? There must be some horns that I haven't found before."
