Chapter 371 Laughter from the Ceiling
"Things are not what you see."
Zhou Bai said something to Papa Lin.
But Papa Lin seems to be more willing to believe what he sees.
The faint light outside the house let Zhou Bai know that he had no time to delay any longer.
Papa Lin walked towards Zhou Bai slowly with a knife in his hand.
And hugging Zhou Bai's bear with both hands, the expression on his face gradually became a little numb.
The uneasy feeling in Zhou Bai's heart became more and more intense.
It feels like, this dark night is a dividing line, and I will soon come to a completely different world.
He looked at Xiong Xiong on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Then I can only be sorry."
After finishing speaking, he controlled the strength on his feet and kicked away the hands that were hugging him fiercely.
Xiong Xiong did not cry out in pain.
The almost completely darkened light also prevented Zhou Bai from seeing the expressions on the faces of Father Lin and Mother Lin.
Zhou Bai broke free from Xiong Xiong's hands, turned around and walked towards the door.
The shoes he was wearing fell on the floor and made a "slapping" sound.
And Zhou Bai could clearly feel that when he made his voice, the three people in the house all turned their heads to look at him at the same time.
Rules of night survival in Xingfu Building, Article 4.
【Happiness building is at night, it is forbidden to make too much noise and make too many movements. Especially if you have other neighbors around you. 】
Zhou Bai was in the darkness, feeling the three eyes looking at him from behind, so he could only slow down his pace,
"Pa... da..."
He dropped his footsteps lightly.
Immediately afterwards, three different footsteps of "pat", "pat", and "pat" sounded behind him.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhou Bai's back.
what happened?
What will happen to his neighbors at night?
Zhou Bai held back his curiosity and didn't turn his head to look.
Experience in multiple dungeons told him that if he turned his head now, he might see a human head, or something even more terrifying, suddenly appearing behind him.
If you have time to watch it, you might as well find a way to get out of this room first.
He looked at the door that was only a few steps away.
Slowly raised his foot, then put it down gently.
Hearing that there are no more footsteps behind him and continue to sound.
Zhou Bai followed the same pattern, continued to lift his foot up slowly, put it down again gently, and took another step forward.
He just walked out of the door like this.
However, just when he thought he was out of danger, a gust of wind blew by.
There was a "bang".
The door behind him slammed heavily on the wall.
When Zhou Bai heard this voice, his scalp went numb.
Behind him, the sound of three "click, click" objects turning at the same time sounded.
Immediately afterwards, I heard three more footsteps approaching him non-stop.
Zhou Bai's palms were sweating, and he dodged close to the wall, so that his figure would not be seen by them.
Then towards the door of his own house, he rushed over in three steps and two sides.
Snap, snap, snap...
Following Zhou Bai's high-speed movement, the sound of footsteps behind him also accelerated.
The door of his own room is in front of him.
He reached out and turned the handle, walked into the room, and closed the door behind him with his backhand.
And just as he was about to lock the door, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the ceiling.
"Hehehe..."
Zhou Bai felt that this laughter seemed somewhat familiar.
But for a while, he couldn't remember where he heard this voice.
Zhou Bai put his hand on the doorknob.
There was no way to lock the door, so he could only maintain the original movement and stand motionless.
Rules of Night Survival in Xingfu Building, Article 6.
【If you hear laughter from the ceiling, no matter what you are doing, please stop your movements. Do not continue until the laughter stops. 】
Zhou Bai has no way of knowing now whether other people in the Xingfu Building, like him, need to abide by this rule.
Because he couldn't go downstairs, but other people in the Xingfu Building, he has seen them go downstairs.
So now this rule, he is also uncertain.
The door in front of him was just closed.
If the three members of the Lin family catch up now, they can easily open Zhou Bai's room door at any time.
But Zhou Bai could only stand there motionless.
He thought of this, and the palm of his hand holding the doorknob slowly oozes sweat.
"Hehehe..."
"Looks like you all had a great time..."
The familiar voice kept ringing from the ceiling.
Zhou Bai kept his original movements, stood inside the door, and focused his ears on the sounds outside the house.
That's it, I don't know how long it has been.
That strange laughter finally stopped.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of footsteps outside the house also sounded simultaneously.
They need to obey this rule too!
This was an idea that popped up in Zhou Bai's mind immediately.
Immediately, he quickly locked the door of his room.
And just as he locked the door, his doorknob also turned.
But because he had already locked the door, the person who turned the doorknob had no way to open the door.
There was no knocking or trying to break the door to enter.
There was no sound outside the house, and everything returned to calm.
Zhou Bai didn't dare to take it lightly, he gently picked up a table and blocked it behind the door, and then left the door.
Zhou Bai didn't have the heart to eat dinner, so he lay on the bed directly.
In my mind, I kept thinking about what happened today.
Ah Zhen’s reminder in the morning, I just saw the state of the three members of the Lin family, and the somewhat familiar laughter on the ceiling.
What does all this represent?
Zhou Bai recalled the rules he had obtained one by one in his mind.
Combined with what I have encountered in the past few days, I try to see through the hidden secrets of this happy building.
Outside the room, there was no sound.
This night was so peaceful, as if the conflict just now had never happened.
Zhou Bai lay on the bed, and after a while, he closed his eyes heavily.
It wasn't until around seven o'clock the next morning that I was woken up by voices coming from outside the door.
"I'll go, what are you doing standing here?
Being a goalkeeper? "
Zhou Bai could tell that the voice was Aaron's.
It's just that he seems to be standing at his door now.
stand right here? Be a goalkeeper?
Recalling what Aaron said just now, Zhou Bai had a bad premonition,
Hurriedly sat up from the bed, put on his shoes, and walked towards the door.
"Whoa whoa whoa...
You are still holding a knife, I can't tell, you are very fierce. "
