black mist

Chapter 25

As soon as she stepped into the corridor, Jian Tong sneezed because of the stale smell blowing towards her face.

The buildings in the old-fashioned residential area will emit some musty smell more or less because of their age. It has nothing to do with which world they live in, but I don’t know if it’s because of the feeling of being spied on before. Jian Tong looked at the narrow corridor , I can't help but feel a little uneasy.

But he and Wen Yan were already cautious enough. Before entering the building, they even checked the surroundings, and found nothing unusual or anyone who might be peeping.

Because she didn't want Wen Yan to worry too much, Jian Tong endured it and temporarily suppressed the anxiety in her heart.Wen Yan already had a lot of things to worry about, so he had to let his brother worry less.

The slightly dilapidated residential building in front of me has five floors, and the old lunatic Zhang Hezhong's house is the one on the right hand side of the top floor.

Jian Tong scanned the surrounding environment for the last time, and after making sure that there were no strange-looking things such as old shoes, she followed Wen Yan closely on the steps.

The dilapidation of the building is reflected in all aspects. The walls are mottled and peeled off because they have not been taken care of for a long time, and there is a musty smell. The cobwebs in the corners are densely packed, dotted with spider trophies, and the handrails are rusty... Even in reality In the world, this is not a comfortable environment, let alone it also appears in the mirror lake world, adding three points of terror for no reason.

The lighting in the corridor is not very good, as soon as you step into the corridor, the light is completely dimmed.The voice-activated light is also not sensitive, and it is often necessary to clap your hands or stomp your feet a few times to wake up the voice-activated light. Cast the shadows of the two on the mottled wall.

I don't know which pipe is leaking water. Along the way, Jiantong heard the sound of water droplets "tick, tick" falling on the ground.

He looked at his own shadow reflected on the wall, and couldn't help swallowing, the uneasiness that was originally suppressed in his heart emerged uncontrollably.

He subconsciously quickened his pace and moved closer to Wen Yan.

Noticing the movement behind him, Wen Yan looked back at him: "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

Jian Tong's little head shook like a rattle: "No, I just want to follow you closely."

"Okay." Wen Yan smiled and nodded, "Follow me closely."

Along the way, Jian Tong never let down her vigilance for a moment, she turned her head to look behind her from time to time, and was extra careful when passing the doors of houses on each floor, for fear that something would rush out of the door.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the wind is jittery with that caution.

But even so, there was still something he didn't notice - when he reached the middle of the third floor, a hand suddenly protruded from the gap between the stairs and the lower part of the handrail, and caught Jane's naked ankle unexpectedly.

Jian Tong only had time to take a look—it was a severed arm, severed from the elbow, and the wound was bloody.

Before Jian Tong could react, the hand that grabbed his ankle pulled him back fiercely. In a blink of an eye, Jian Tong fell forward...

Fortunately, Wen Yan turned around to support him with quick eyes and hands, so that Jian Tong's tender little face didn't slam hard on the steps. If he really slammed down, he would have to be injured all over his body.

"Thank you brother!" Jian Tong broke out in a cold sweat, holding his brother's arm and trying to stand up with strength, when he suddenly realized something was wrong——

He glanced at the side from the corner of his eye - when he went upstairs, the handrail of the corridor was clearly on his right side, why did it become on his left after he fell down?

Jian Tong called Wen Yan tremblingly: "Brother..."

The person who supported him chuckled lightly: "Brother?"

Jian Tong is still in the posture of leaning forward, his head resting on the man's abdomen, and he has to raise his head vigorously to see the man's expression clearly.

But he's already realized...

The familiar voice sneered: "Do you want to look up, am I your brother?"

Jian Tong froze in place, but she dared not raise her head.

Because he always felt that once he looked up, once he saw that person's face, something terrible would happen...

So the moment his feet stepped on the ground, he pushed the man away and ran downstairs...

Jian Tong's legs are long and his motor nerves are developed. Almost instantly, he has already rushed downstairs. When he was about to step out of the residential building, he suddenly thought of Wen Yan—Wen Yan was clearly in front of him. If that person appeared in front of him In front of him, he appeared between him and Wen Yan... If he runs away now, what will Wen Yan do?

Worries about Wen Yan defeated his fear, Jian Tong gritted his teeth, and was about to turn around when someone hit the back of his head with a stick, his eyes went dark, and his whole body softened...

…………

He couldn't tell what it was like, but at that moment, Wen Yan felt that he should go back and check Jian Tong's situation.

But before he could turn around, Wen Yan saw Jian Tong staggering from the corner of his vision, and rushed towards him.

He hurriedly turned around to catch Jian Tong, but who knows, when he turned around, there was no one behind him...

Wen Yan was stunned, he was sure that Jian Tong was obediently walking behind him a minute ago.

His current position is in the middle of the stairs, a certain distance from the upper and lower residential doors, so it is impossible for someone to drag Jian Tong into the door to hide, and he did not hear any abnormal noise.

So, how did Jian Tong disappear from behind him without a sound?

Wanting to get Jian Tong back, Wen Yan couldn't help himself, so he quickly forced himself to calm down.The corridor is very narrow, it is impossible for Jian Tong to pass him and go up, it is only possible to go down.

Wen Yan glanced up and down the corridor, and chased down towards the exit of the corridor.

Wen Yan's speed was very fast, and he rushed downstairs in a short while, but along the way, including looking around after stepping out of the residential building, he didn't see Jian Tong.

Logically speaking, he turned around immediately after realizing something was wrong, and even chased after Jian Tong missing without a moment's delay. If Jian Tong was taken away, why should he catch up?

But he just didn't catch the slightest trace of abnormality, let alone Jian Tong's trace.

Wen Yan pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered the guess that Jian Tong had told him on the way here—could it be that the monster in this space would only be seen by its target?

Wen Yan turned his head to look at the old building he had just come out of—could it be that Jian Tong was trapped in the building?

Thinking of this, Wen Yan turned around and returned to the residential building. Starting from the first floor, he carefully checked along the corridors. While checking, he called Jian Tong's name, but he didn't get any response.

After searching the top floor, Wen Yan wanted to go into every house to take a look, based on the principle of “rather killing by mistake than letting it go”. However, all the doors in the building were locked, which brought a lot of difficulties to his search. trouble.

Fortunately, the door locks in this building are all old-fashioned door locks, and a bank card can still be picked after a while.

Ten households on five floors took Wen Yan a lot of time, but unfortunately nothing was obtained in the end.

Wen Yan was not trapped in the building, and now that he found it, Wen Yan also began to feel a little anxious.

The ghosts in the mirror lake world seem to have deep hostility towards Jian Tong, but Jian Tong just moved to Chunxia Town, what did he do to block their eyes?

Wen Yan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down again.

Jian Tong must not have disappeared for no reason, there must be signs, but they were ignored.He calmly recalled everything that happened today, it seemed normal, except for one thing - they met a girl today.

No, to be precise, Jian Tong met a girl. Wen Yan was in the car at the time, and had never met that girl face to face.

Could Jiantong's disappearance have anything to do with her?

The girl who didn't stay in front of Jian Tong for a long time, thinking about it now, was her appearance and departure too deliberate?

This makes it hard for Wen Yan not to suspect her, but the problem now is that he can neither find Jian Tong nor the girl.

Wen Yan tried hard to recall the girl's information, recalled her appearance and clothes, hoping to get some clues, not to mention, the more he recalled, the more familiar he seemed, he seemed to have seen this girl somewhere.

Wen Yan frowned, and first ruled out people he knew, he was sure he didn't know this girl.Secondly, there are people who have met a few times, but Wen Yan doesn't have much impression.

Besides, the girl doesn't look very old, and she's still wearing a school uniform, so she's probably about the same age as Jian Tong.It has been a while since Wen Yan left Chunxia Town, and he has basically never seen many children of Jian Tong's age.

But if he hadn't seen her recently, how could he find her familiar?

Wait, he seems to have seen a few students recently...

Wen Yan took out his mobile phone and opened the screenshots in the album. Like Jian Tong, he also saved the information he saw in the local forum through screenshots.

That's right, Wen Yan read a lot of missing person notices on the local forum last night, and there are many students among them, could she be one of them?

Wen Yan opened the screenshots and checked the missing person notices one by one. Sure enough, he saw her again on a missing person notice...

The girl's name is Chai Qiuying. A few years ago, she and several companions raped her classmates. This school violence eventually led to the victim's suicide. Because she and her companions were not yet adults, they were only lightly recorded as one. Greater than.

The victim's family could not accept such a result, so they kidnapped her.

In the end, she disappeared in a fire, and since then she has never been seen alive or dead.

And now, she appeared in the mirror lake world.

Wen Yan checked the post about their disappearance again, which repeatedly mentioned the burning warehouse, and also mentioned a piece of information in the post - the warehouse was burned to ruins by the fire. A piece of land was sold out, but because no one took it over, a new warehouse was finally built on the original site.

However, after all such things have happened, the utilization rate of the warehouse is not high, and most of the time it is idle.

If Jiantong's disappearance is really related to Chai Qiuying, will they go to the warehouse?

There is no point in guessing any more, anyway, I can't find Jiantong here, so Wen Yan decided to go to the warehouse to try his luck.The warehouse is not very far from the location of his community. If you drive, you can get there in about 5 minutes.

Wen Yan left the community and drove to the location of the warehouse. He had a hunch that in this warehouse, he should be able to find what he wanted...
