This glance made Ye Ying's hair stand on end.
She saw the man in black, standing against the wall like a shadow.
He lowered his head, and the shadow caused by the light covered his face, making it difficult to see clearly.
And the booth next to him was sitting with two people who were having a good time, chatting and drinking, as if they didn't notice the strangeness around him!
Ye Ying almost stopped breathing.
Her eyes were wide open, the environment was dark, and her pupils were dilated, looking straight there as if to **** people in.
The next second, the black figure suddenly raised his head!
Ye Ying tilted her upper body backward tactically, as if doing so was of no use.
The black shadow raised his head, revealing an ordinary face. At the same time, his partner who had been ignoring him looked up and complained: "What are you doing? A gecko? Standing against the wall for punishment?"
The man replied as he sat down: "It's a bit high, stand up and wake up."
Ye Ying: ...
Nima, you scared me soberly!
She let out a long breath, turned her head, and met Tao Zi's worried eyes.
Tao Zi hesitated and said, "Your illness is..."
Ye Ying interrupted the spellcasting alertly: "I'm not sick."
Seeing that her expression had finally returned to normal, Tao Zi breathed a sigh of relief.
She shook off Ye Ying's hand in disgust: "Brother Fried Chicken is really harmful, a good child is made to talk about it."
Ye Ying knew that Taozi would not be able to digest these strange powers for a while, so she didn't try any more.
At the same time, she secretly felt that she was probably nervous just now.
Because Huang Xize was not around, she became a frightened bird.
After all, the sound of the bell is not an uncommon sound. There is a high probability that someone's mobile phone rings, or she is too stressed and has auditory hallucinations.
Ye Ying shook her head, completely shaking out the panic that gradually subsided.
Because of what happened just now, the atmosphere has eased down. Ye Ying continued to drink and chat with Taozi.
Nothing unusual happened after that.
Seeing that Ye Ying was not in good condition, Taozi specially took a taxi to take her to the gate of the community, and asked repeatedly if she wanted to accompany her up there.
"No."
Ye Ying refused straight away, she didn't want to get Tao Zi involved in these messes: "You go back, my parents are here."
"Then be careful." Taozi was still a little uneasy: "After all, that house... Although I don't believe in those, it's always a bit awkward."
Ye Ying nodded: "Don't worry, I won't go back there. I'll go back to Huang..."
Huang Xize's name twirled on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't say it. She just pinned her sideburns, which were blown by the night wind, behind her ears: "Go back quickly, and send me a message when you get home."
But it was useless, Tao Zi still showed a loving expression on her face, which made Ye Ying's forehead burst into blue veins.
...It's annoying, this person is really annoying.
Want to beat her up.
Fortunately, Taozi still has a basic cherishment of life. The taxi exhausted and disappeared into the night.
Ye Ying watched the red tail lights go away speechlessly, then turned and entered the gate of the community.
It's almost ten o'clock in the evening, which is not too late for contemporary youth. Although there are not many people in the community, it is not particularly deserted.
One second before entering the gate, Ye Ying raised her head subconsciously and looked at the newly opened fried chicken restaurant.
The light sign of the fried chicken shop is black, standing quietly in the dim halo of street lamps.
I don't know if it's closed, or because Huang Xize is not here, it's not open at all.
Ye Ying paused, turned her head and continued walking into the community.
Because she had to go to work tomorrow, she and Tao Zi didn't drink too much. But after all, Ye Ying's drinking capacity is average, so she's still a bit over the top.
Staggering into the unit door, waiting for the elevator in the soft ceiling light, Ye Ying shuffled in.
Maybe it was drunk, maybe it was the exhaustion caused by too many things, the consciousness was in a trance for a moment, like a complete dream in a second.
At this moment, a sharp pain suddenly came from the center of the collarbone!
Accompanied by this slight tingling sensation, Ye Ying's heart palpitations swept through her heart like an electric shock.
This feeling... she is too familiar!
It's just like when she was possessed by a ghost waiting for an opportunity in the elevator, and was brought to 2202 in a daze!
The alertness caused by the palpitations instantly woke her up.
Ye Ying trembled all over and stood up straight suddenly. Like the feeling of weightlessness when falling asleep, her heart was beating wildly!
Opening his eyes suddenly, he saw a dim green light.
The brain was naturally dazed for two seconds, and the line of sight slowly focused in the darkness, gradually distinguishing where he was—
This is... the gate of 2202!
The reason why Ye Ying recognized it so quickly was because of the clear scratches on the door of 2202—this was accidentally knocked out with a shovel when she first moved in.
For some reason, the overhead lights in the elevator hall that were supposed to be on went out, and the entire space was completely dark.
The dim green light coming from the exit sign on the closed stairwell door made it barely possible to see the surrounding scene clearly.
Feeling the cold touch from her fingertips, Ye Ying slowly lowered her head and looked at her hand.
The door lock is already open.
Her hand was on the doorknob, and it was obvious that the door would be opened in the next second.
But... Fortunately, that door has not been opened yet.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the other side of the door seems to be filled with cold and boundless malice, like a predator waiting for an opportunity, waiting for her to open this Pandora's box.
Ye Ying let out a long breath.
Although Yan's attack on her was not limited to 2202, Huang Xize's house, AKA her safe haven, was downstairs.
What's more, she still has an amulet with blue flames hanging around her neck, as long as she leaves here, turns around and goes downstairs at the speed of light, then she still has a chance!
Ye Ying moved her feet and was about to leave when a familiar female voice came from behind.
"No, I thought about it, and I still think your mental state is too bad."
Ye Ying's expression froze instantly.
Under the high tension, she didn't notice the sound of the elevator opening and closing, nor did she notice that someone was standing behind her!
A hand went over her, pressed down on her hand holding the doorknob, pressed down, then pulled.
The anti-theft door opened silently.
Ye Ying let go of her hand suddenly, and took two steps back uncontrollably, blood rushing up all over her body.
Tao Zi, who came back and forth to find her, opened the door lightly. Ye Ying looked at the thick darkness in front of the door, and her whole body froze.
A gust of extremely cold wind rushed towards my face, instantly causing goosebumps all over my body. It seemed that what was opened was not the door, but the door of some kind of cold storage.
Unlike the elevator hall, which was somewhat light, the inside of the door was completely black.
Like a beast that devours everything, it opened its mouth to them with a boundless chill.
Seeing that she was not moving, Tao Zi looked back at her strangely: "What's wrong?"
Ye Ying turned her back to the city lights outside the window, Tao Zi couldn't see her expression clearly, she was so dull that she didn't notice anything wrong.
She hissed, rubbed her arms, and then looked up at the ceiling light in the elevator hall that was supposed to be on: "It's so cold... What's going on? The power is out in your building? Oh, no... You can't live here anymore Is it? Is it like me that you get on top for a while and forget?"
Tao Zi babbled, but Ye Ying didn't answer her.
In fact, she's so stiff right now that she can't even move.
In the darkness, the green light shone on Tao Zi's face, turning her face blue, making her feel cold all over.
And the green light also shone on another thing behind Taozi.
Inside the wide-open anti-theft door facing Taozi, something slowly fell from above and slowly hung behind Taozi. With the movement, it is still shaking rhythmically.
It was a pair of... blue-gray ones, suspended in mid-air, gradually descending...
foot.
