Chapter 7 Zero Point
When he saw this, Runli almost screamed, and the taxi driver in front of him turned around and took a look. = full = book = small = say = net = net =
"No... impossible..."
She would never forget the three claw marks that dismembered her parents... Originally she thought that it was a beast or a murderer... But how could this happen? She never thought it would be...
"Maybe, you can't believe it. We thought it was too incredible at that time. But the movement of the claw mark was too obvious, because the claw mark the day before was about ten meters away from the bedroom door, but this time it was only five meters at most! Such an obvious difference can be seen with the naked eye!
However, although fear is fear, we cannot explain this with ghosts. Out of caution, we decided to change the room to sleep, so we went to Runan's room. Fortunately, you are living in the school at this time, so you don't have to be frightened like this...
But it was useless! Today the claw mark appeared at the door of Runan's room! The claw mark in front of our bedroom disappeared completely without a trace. Until here, we have to admit that this claw mark is not something left by creatures in this world, it comes from another world! No matter where we escape, it can chase after it!"
Seeing this, Runli's tears had wet the diary paper, and she sobbed and said to her brother: "How could it be? Mom and Dad are good people... We have never done anything wrong, why should we suffer such a disaster? Why do we escape? Why..."
"We have to escape, this is the only way. The parents finally realized that they could not defeat this terrifying claw mark and chose to accept the fate of death. Because it was useless to escape anywhere. It was also written later in the diary that in order to avoid this terrible claw mark, they tried to stay in a hotel, but claw marks would still follow..."
The last page of the diary was written like this.
"In the end, we decided to use the last method, and we must solve this problem before you come back from school. Although we have considered asking someone to discuss it, we are worried that it will implicate more people. Tonight, we stayed by the wall outside the bedroom all night, waiting for the owner of the claw mark to arrive. No matter what monster it was, we decided to fight to the death.
Listen well... you will be back tomorrow. I will repeat it last time. If we die... we must escape! We must!"
In the end, the two died.
Strangely, the two people who were originally staying next to the wall of the bedroom and decided to wait all night for the claw mark to appear died in the bedroom. There was no trace of blood in the corridor.
This is not something humans can imagine.
Even if you hand over the diary to the police, the police will not believe it. Even if they believe it, they cannot protect them. Instead of doing so, it is better to rely on yourself and leave the city first.
"Runli, give me your cell phone."
"Huh? Why? Brother?"
"Give it to me first."
Runli took out her cell phone in confusion and gave it to Runan. Then Runan took out her cell phone. At this moment, the taxi happened to drive to the bridge. Runan threw two cell phones out of the window and fell into the river water under the bridge.
"No...brother! You, what are you doing? There are many numbers of my friends in your phone..."
"This is my purpose. Runli, from today on, we must say goodbye to our past lives. Neither relatives nor friends... will no longer contact us. We must live and we must give up all this. Runli, I cannot lose you anymore. From now on, I will take care of you!"
My brother fulfilled his promise. Everything changed. He came to a new city and changed into a new school. However, he couldn't stay in each city for a long time. After about a year or two, whenever an abnormal murder or a missing person appeared in the newspaper, my brother would immediately prepare to move to the new city. For seven years, Runli had spent this frequent migration.
The reason why he finally settled in this city was mainly because his brother was also tired of it. He also understood that no matter where he escaped, he would have an incomprehensible supernatural phenomenon. Moreover, Runli, who finally realized her volunteering to become a reporter in this city, did not want to move anyway. And his brother's horror novels became more and more successful, which made him regret not using a pen name at the beginning. In this way, relatives from the original city might come here.
But Runli was very happy. At least, she would give her relatives a message that they lived well. She always hoped that one day she could return to the city she used to live and visit her parents' graves. Several times, she almost arrived at the ticket window in front of the train station, but she still gave up because she was afraid of the claw marks recorded in the diary. The only thing she could do was to put a bouquet of white lilies at home on her parents' death day.
"Miss Yi...Miss Yi, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Jun's mother interrupted her contemplation, and she immediately woke up and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm distracted... Where did we just talk about it?"
That night, Xia Peng and Ou Xueyan stayed in the hotel. The original home was afraid to go to bed any longer. Runan never told them about Xia Peng's death the next day.
"What do you think should I do?"
It was already eleventh. Xia Peng and Ou Xueyan were still not tired at all.
"Will we... die?"
Ou Xueyan was so regretful that her intestines were so blue that she couldn't get the exclusive one. In order to get more bonuses, she has now gotten into such a terrible thing... How can I describe the other party? I can only use "things"?
"I'm also trying to figure out a way... In short, I've covered the mirror in the toilet with cloth. We've also taken the stairs up and down. We take turns to wait while sleeping, and change shifts every three hours. Don't worry, this room is very close to the escape ladder, and it's the third floor. I parked my car down below. If there is anything, we will run away immediately. In order to consider the convenience of escape, don't take off your coat when sleeping. Tomorrow, we'll find another solution to Mr. Yi and the others. You go to bed first, and I'll watch the night."
"Xia Peng...I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
"It's not your fault... If you say something is wrong, I have a responsibility. You can sleep with peace of mind. I will wake you up immediately if something happens."
After comforting Xueyan and letting her go to bed, Xia Peng walked to the window and lit a cigarette. Although there was a clock on the wall, he lifted up his sleeves and looked at his watch. It was almost midnight.
At this moment, Xue Yan's cell phone ringed, and the sound came from the bathroom.
"Ah, I put my phone in the bathroom." She quickly sat up and walked into the bathroom. Thinking of the last incident, Xia Peng was somewhat worried and wanted to follow in and take a look. Who knew that Xue Yan's a little aggrieved voice came from the bathroom: "Why... can't we come to stay in the hotel?"
The caller was Ren Jing.
"Do you think it's safe to stay in the hotel? Don't joke! Tell me the hotel address and room number. I'll come here immediately!"
Xia Peng sighed, took another breath of cigarette, and walked back to the window.
What should I do in the future?
Xueyan's hand wrapped around his neck and pressed it on his back. Xia Peng said with emotion: "Don't worry, Xueyan...we can definitely survive...must..."
However……
Xueyan's answer came from the bathroom:
"Xia Peng? I accidentally dropped the car key into the gap in the tiles. Can you come in and help me get it?"
A chill quickly rose from Xia Peng's feet to his head. Only then did Xia Peng feel how cold the hands surrounding his neck were...
A scream cut through the silence of the night, and the hands of the clock hanging on the wall just fell at zero.
With Runli's premonition, Xia Peng was ready to usher in his deadline "today".
Xueyan heard the screams and rushed out of the bathroom, but... the room was already empty. She only saw a cigarette butt that fell beside the bed, which emitted light smoke. It seemed that this was the only evidence that Xia Peng was still here just now.
"Wow—Help, help!"
Her first reaction was to escape, but she kept in mind Ren Jing's instructions on the phone just now: "Remember, no matter what happens, try not to leave the room as much as possible. According to my experience, if you are attacked by a ghost and escape immediately, the possibility of death is much higher than staying there."
When I recalled carefully, how many of the people who escaped by ghosts in the ghost film survived? After all, Ren Jing is experienced. Ou Xueyan finally kept calm and jumped onto the bed. Although she was still wearing a coat, she still tightly wrapped a yellow quilt on the bed. She was alert to the room at any time and prayed in her heart that Ren Jing would come sooner.
At the same time, Ren Jing and Runan, who were driving to the hotel, also began to have a controversy over a problem.
"Actually, there is something I always care about."
Runan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, raised a question: "Zhang Jun's death is a big difference from Xie Xiaohao... that is the corpse. Speaking of this, you should understand it, right? Xie Xiaohao's corpse was presented in a very amazing posture, but Zhang Jun completely disappeared in the public toilet. Isn't this very strange? Because you said that the one who caused the death of the two of them was the same 'thing'."
"Yes, I said it."
"If what you said is true, then why didn't Zhang Jun's body stay? Isn't that strange? Ah, don't get me wrong, I don't doubt you. I believe that what you said so far is true. I just want to talk about my own assumptions."
"oh?"
"First of all, my assumption is valid and needs to be proved. Runli said that you have shown her the photo of Xie Xiaohao's body, so can I take a look at it too?"
"She didn't describe it to you? No wonder, such a scene... I know, I can show it to you, but I will wait until the hotel to pick them up before talking."
"I actually have one more problem."
"Well, you have many problems."
Run bit her lip secretly, looked at Ren Jing's side face, and asked, "Ms. Ren, that day, I called the hotline and asked a lot of strange questions. You are right?"
"Yeah, it's me."
It surprised Runan when she admitted so readily, and at this time, the hotel was right in front of her. It is impossible to say that Ren Jing was driving too fast, and even the traffic police could not beat her and could not issue her ticket.
When he arrived at the door of the room, Ren Jing immediately knocked on the door and shouted: "It's me, open the door quickly! Miss Ou!"
After a while, Ou Xueyan opened the door. When she saw the two of them, she immediately hugged Ren Jing and said, "Xia Peng, Xia Peng is gone... Please save me, I'm so scared, I'm so scared..."
At this time, Runan An noticed that Ren Jing pushed open the door and looked into the room. Then her expression seemed to have changed significantly, and she said, "Let's go, leave here immediately."
Runan began to gradually verify his guess. He remembered that when Zhang Jun died, Ren Jing also paid attention to the public toilet. Sure enough...is it true?
Did she see something that he could not see, but she didn't say it?
Moreover, he also believed that Ren Jing did not tell him the whole truth about supernatural constitutions. She said that she was not born supernatural constitution, and the only proof was that the premonition ability she had was not as good as her father, which was somewhat unnatural. Since her father had supernatural constitution, it was natural for her daughter to inherit this constitution. Even if the inheritance was not complete, why did she flatly deny that she had such a constitution?
What this woman said should be true, because what she said is just a little investigation will tell if it is true or false. Moreover, Runli is a reporter, so it is very easy to investigate clearly. But why do you still keep some of the secrets? Can't you fully trust their brother and sister? Or is she simply using them?
I had to abandon everything and obeyed my parents' last instructions and left the city where I was born and raised. I lived a life like a fugitive for seven years and endured the threat of death one day in the future. Such a life is naturally unimaginable. Despite this, for Runli, he always forced himself to support himself and could never fall before her.
If the curse can be really untie, then he is willing to do anything. He only hopes that their brothers and sisters can get real freedom and Runli can live like a normal person... And is Ren Jing the redeemer for their brothers and sisters, or another demon?
First of all, what he was most confused about was the matter mentioned by Ren Jing about her father. Her father's behavior was completely illogical. As an omniscient and omnipotent foresight, he would naturally know his daughter's fate, but he chose to evaporate the world and let her find herself and Runli, completely allowing her to die. If he wanted to abandon his daughter completely, why did he leave that note? What is the meaning of doing so?
After returning to the car, Ou Xueyan sat in the back row tremblingly, while Ren Jing handed Runan an envelope bag and said, "This is what you want to see."
Runan nodded, reached into the envelope, and took out a stack of photos.
"How...how can it be..."
How could this be the case!
