Chapter 12 Terrifying Results
Wang Yazhi actually wanted to ask if the person who was constantly approaching her was Xia Qi, but the only remaining reason in her brain kept reminding her not to do that, or even make the slightest sound.
Covering her mouth tightly, Wang Yazhi opened her eyes wide in horror, trying to capture something in the darkness.
However, all she saw was darkness.
"Tap..."
The sound of gentle and slow footsteps, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects being dragged on the ground, came to her side in an instant.
Although she couldn't see it with her eyes, it didn't prevent her from being able to hear clearly, and judged from this that the "person" was standing very close to her.
It may be beside him, or he may be... standing opposite him!
And what is that thing that "he" dragged here?
Is it an item? still……
Wang Yazhi tried her best to control herself not to think about it anymore, because she was afraid that if she continued to think about it like this, she would completely collapse.
At this moment, the "person" hidden in the darkness seemed to be doing the same thing as her, and was also listening with bated breath.
If she hadn't really felt the approach of that "person" before, she would never have thought that there was another "person" hidden in this darkness...and he was very close to her!
There was no sound at all, and the near-dead silence made Wang Yazhi dare not breathe at all.
Because any sound will be amplified to an infinite extent here.
After holding her breath for a while, Wang Yazhi reached her limit, and there was only a prayer in her heart that the "person" could go away.
I don't know if her prayers had an effect. Just when Wang Yazhi was about to lose her breath, the sound of the footsteps that had stopped before and the sound of heavy objects being dragged finally gradually moved away.
"H-h-h-!"
Wang Yazhi took a greedy breath until he was sure that "person" was gone. For the first time, she felt that being able to breathe was such a happy thing.
After taking a few hard breaths, until she felt that her chest was no longer as tight as before, Wang Yazhi stood up gropingly. Then, relying on his own judgment of the direction, he walked in the opposite direction to that "person".
But not long after walking, she found that her path was blocked by a wall.
In other words, she could only choose to turn back or stay here.
Stopping, Wang Yazhi tried to feel around, and finally came to a conclusion in her heart - this is the women's bathroom.
Because not only did she touch the mirror here, she also touched the faucet, and there was no urinal unique to the men's bathroom.
After confirming that this was the women's bathroom on a certain floor, Wang Yazhi's mind came up with the outline of the entire bathroom based on the memory of coming here to buy books. In fact, after her previous exploration, she already had a pretty good understanding of the overall environment here.
After weighing it in her mind, Wang Yazhi decided to stay here temporarily because she felt that it would be relatively safer if she hid in the compartment. The evil spirits won't search the bathrooms one floor at a time, but rather look in the cubicles one by one.
With this in mind, Wang Yazhi's hand, which had been groping in the darkness, had already grasped the small door of the compartment, and then carefully pushed it open.
Because there was a urinal in the cubicle, she didn't go too far inside and just stayed at the door.
Turning around and leaning her back against the partition on one side, Wang Yazhi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she should be safe for the time being.
But not long after she had this idea, a series of extremely harsh pumping sounds suddenly sounded from the urinal behind her!
"Whoosh-!"
The sudden sound of pumping scared Wang Yazhi, and she couldn't figure out why there was such a sound.
She tried her best not to think of the scenes in horror movies, and subconsciously stretched out her hands to touch where the urinal was, and then...
He actually touched a face... covered in mucus!
"ah--!"
At this moment, Wang Yazhi felt like she was falling into an ice cave.
While screaming, Wang Yazhi desperately groped for the small door of the compartment, trying to open the lock and escape, but she didn't know if it was because she was too scared to touch the lock at all, so she had to panic again and again. It hit the door panel.
"Everything...!"
However, before she could break open the door and escape, a cold claw suddenly grabbed her neck from behind!
At the same time, Xia Qi shivered uncontrollably, stood up from the ground suddenly, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the scream, even though all he could see was the damn darkness!
"What happened to the scream just now... was it Wang Yazhi's?"
Just for a moment, he vaguely heard a woman's scream, although it was only fleeting.
Xia Qi swallowed hard, feeling that his back had been feeling cold since just now. You must know that more than an hour has passed since the middle-aged uncle appeared, but he has lost information as if it was lost in the sea.
If the middle-aged uncle had successfully killed the evil ghost, then under normal logical thinking, he would have deliberately made some noise to remind them, but in fact he did not.
Furthermore, this is what he thought of through that woman's scream.
In this bookstore building, there is probably only one woman named Wang Yazhi, so if a woman is killed, it is most likely Wang Yazhi.
As for the person who killed her, it could only be the ghost.
But that ghost was being dealt with by the middle-aged uncle, so how could it come out to kill Wang Yazhi?
Unless...the middle-aged uncle was also killed by it!
Although I was unwilling to accept this inference from the bottom of my heart, if the scream really came from Wang Yazhi, then the truth is very likely to be like this.
The middle-aged uncle did not kill the evil spirit, but was killed himself. After that, the evil spirit found Wang Yazhi who was hiding upstairs and killed her.
As for what's next...it's his turn!
Thinking of this, Xia Qi shivered uncontrollably and felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot.
The uneasiness in his heart intensified again, which made Xia Qi hurriedly shake his head, forcibly blocking his random thoughts.
After all, instead of scaring yourself with random thoughts here, it is better to take advantage of the gap before the ghost comes to find you and think about what you are going to do next, or in other words, what you are going to do to save your life.
After calming down and thinking for a while, he came up with two solutions.
The first way is to set a fire in this bookstore.
As for the reasons, they were the ones he had thought of before. He thought that the ghost was afraid of light and heat, and he also added that it could only exist by relying on the building of the bookstore. Once the bookstore is gone, it may be gone.
As for the consequences of burning down the bookstore, he didn't consider it at all.
As for the second method, Thirty-Six Strategies is the best. Even a middle-aged uncle who is so powerful can't defeat evil spirits. If he continues to stay here, isn't he waiting for death?
So I can only escape from the bookstore first and see if I can go back to the golden office building to find a solution or something else. In short, I can't continue to sit back and wait for death like now.
Now that he has thought of two ways, he must make a choice. Xia Qi knows that he does not have much time to hesitate, because there is no chance that the evil ghost will stand in front of him in the next moment.
After thinking for a short time, Xia Qi finally decided to combine these two methods into one.
That is to say, they both set fire and escaped.
However, for safety reasons, he decided to wait until he got down to the first floor successfully.
Make up your mind and do it without procrastination. This is also Xia Qi's basic code of conduct. In fact, he was a little surprised at his calmness and felt that he could no longer call himself a talent. To be precise, he was - genius!
He is a genius, a genius who can only calm down when he encounters a ghost.
Although Xia Qi thought so funny, his feet were not idle at all. With the help of the brief light of the lighter, he quickly ran towards the nearest stairwell.
Because the flame of the lighter lasts for a limited time, and it can easily attract evil spirits as a light source, after Xia Qi entered the stairway, he did not use it to illuminate it, but walked down the stairs in the dark.
Calculating the floors in his mind, Xia Qi soon reached the third floor. But just when he took a breath and planned to continue going down, there was a strange sound from above that did not belong to him.
Hearing this noise, almost all the hairs on Xia Qi's body stood up. Regardless of what happened, he hurriedly ran downstairs.
At the same time, there was a series of footsteps rushing downstairs from above!
"Is that you, the middle-aged uncle?"
"Middle-aged uncle?"
"Wang Yazhi?"
The other party must have discovered him, so Xia Qi didn't mean to hide anymore, so he asked with a trembling voice, but he didn't get a response.
From this point alone, Xia Qi was almost convinced that the evil ghost chasing him downstairs was the evil ghost. His previous speculation came true!
"Damn it!"
Xia Tianqi cursed and ran downstairs. At this time, he no longer concealed himself and began to use a lighter to illuminate.
The flame of the lighter lit up, and Xia Qi's hastily escaping figure was immediately pulled away by the old man. However, behind him, there was another one that was approaching - a terrifying ghost!
Getting closer to him!
"It's over... I'll be caught up..."
"What should I do... I'm about to be caught up... What should I do...!"
Feeling that the cold claws were getting closer and closer to his back, Xia Qi's fear completely burst out from the bottom of his heart. This also made his legs weaken and he rolled down the stairs.
"ah--!"
