Chapter 17 Trapped

The qipao woman was sure that the woman in the pajamas wouldn't dare to come near the door after she left, let alone check if the door was closed properly.

But she didn't have time to think, that eerie sound was following her, like a maggot attached to a bone.

Just as the sound got closer and closer, almost about to pounce on her in the next second, light suddenly appeared in front of her.

Unlike the light she had seen before, this light was very obvious and had a warm feeling, like the holy light radiating from heaven.

It was also a door.

A door that was half open.

A strange but kind face appeared behind the half-open door.

Jiang Cheng stood there, with a round head peeking out from behind him.

The fatty blinked, looking at her in a mess, then his pupils shrank suddenly, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

The qipao woman understood that he had probably seen the guy chasing her.

The fatty was anxiously saying something to Jiang Cheng, but Jiang Cheng completely ignored him.

Later, the fatty seemed a little angry, and even went over Jiang Cheng, trying to close the door without permission.

This made the qipao woman, who was running towards here, anxious.

"Don't close the door!"

She shouted hoarsely, the door in front of her was her only hope, and she could clearly feel the cold aura from the thing behind her.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng always stood in front of the fatty, and he was a step too slow after all.

At the critical moment, the qipao woman directly rushed in through the crack in the door, Jiang Cheng took a step back in time, and she happened to bump into the fatty.

Caught off guard, the fatty fell to the ground with a "ouch."

The next second, the qipao woman quickly turned around and slammed the door shut.

Saved...

Strangely enough, the moment the door closed, the violent running sound in the corridor disappeared.

The night returned to its previous silence.

It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Holding the door, the qipao woman gasped violently, her body trembling uncontrollably.

At this time, the fatty had already helped himself up, rubbing his sore shoulder and stomach, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and suspicion.

In comparison, Jiang Cheng's eyes were much calmer. He looked up and down at the qipao woman, as if waiting for her to rest and take the initiative to introduce what had just happened.

"Hoo—" The qipao woman took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. She turned around slowly and met Jiang Cheng's eyes, "Thank you," she nodded, her messy hair sticking to her face, looking a little embarrassed.

In fact, from the time she left room 407 to the time she escaped into room 404 where Jiang Cheng and the fatty were, it was only a few minutes, but it felt like a century to her.

This was a chase between life and death.

Jiang Cheng raised his chin, "Tell me, what did you encounter?" He paused, and added, "You are safe now, so I need you to be as detailed as possible."

Perhaps still suspicious of the qipao woman's identity, Jiang Cheng always kept a relatively safe distance from her. The qipao woman didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

To be honest, she didn't expect Jiang Cheng to let her in.

Although she was saved because of this, she couldn't help but look down on Jiang Cheng a little in her heart.

Of course, she didn't show this contempt on her face.

If she were in his shoes, she would never open the door to someone who was being chased by a ghost, firstly because it might lead to her being chased and killed by the ghost.

Secondly, no one knew whether this was a trick played by the ghost, and it was difficult to tell whether the person who was saved was a human or a ghost.

So the safest thing to do was to hold your breath, not ask or listen, and pretend you didn't hear anything.

After the qipao woman calmed down, she started from the strange friction sound that the woman in the pajamas heard in her room, and then talked about what she experienced after leaving the room: the inexplicably appearing room 407, and the thing chasing behind her.

She didn't directly say that the thing chasing behind her was a ghost, but there was no doubt about it.

After listening to the qipao woman's story, the fatty frowned and said, "You said that hearing the strange friction sound is a prelude to a ghost killing people, and those who don't hear it are?"

The qipao woman seemed to recall the chase just now, and nodded palely, "I think so."

"That's strange," Jiang Cheng thought for a while, and suddenly said.

"What did you think of?"

"I'm wondering what its purpose is?" Jiang Cheng explained, "Could it be that making a sound is just to scare people?"

The question raised by Jiang Cheng did arouse the qipao woman's interest. She habitually brushed her hair, and then subconsciously looked towards the door.

But in the next second, she seemed to suddenly realize something, her pupils shrank fiercely, and a cold aura instantly climbed up her spine.

Her blood ran cold, and her blood vessels seemed to be covered with ice.

Only her mind was exceptionally clear, and the scene a few minutes ago flashed through her mind frame by frame like an old-fashioned slide show.

In the moment when she was about to be caught by the ghost, it was Jiang Cheng who opened the door and saved her.

Yes!

It was this Jiang Cheng behind her who "pulled" open the door!

But she clearly remembered... that the dormitory doors on this floor all needed to be pushed open from the inside to the outside, how could it be...

With a "gulp," her throat rolled hard.

It's over...

The next second, Jiang Cheng's half-smiling voice came faintly from behind, the calmness in his voice was gone, replaced by a kind of weirdness and madness that was being suppressed with all his might.

"Why don't you talk?" Jiang Cheng asked in a sinister tone.

The qipao woman trembled all over, unable to say a word.

The fatty behind her also spoke, his tone also began to become strange, his voice became sharper and sharper, and more and more distorted, "Why don't you talk?"

"You speak! Why don't you speak!!" In the end, the sharp voice seemed to be able to pierce the eardrum.

Resentment, distortion, resentment... Countless negative emotions were mixed together.

It was already very clear that it was a woman's voice, not very old, but with monstrous resentment.

The qipao woman couldn't hold on any longer. She tried to push the door open like crazy, but the door seemed to be welded to the wall, and it didn't move at all.

Just as the sound behind her got closer and closer, she screamed and turned around. At this time, the originally clean and tidy dormitory had completely changed.

The wall skin was rotten and peeling off, a pile of dark things were piled on the bed, and a table and chairs with a broken leg were overturned in the corner of the room.

The moonlight from the window shone in, and there were faint traces of bright red on the ground. The entire space was filled with traces left by the erosion of time.

The figures of Jiang Cheng and the fatty disappeared.

Just as the qipao woman's expression changed from horror to doubt, she heard a strange sound, "Giggle!"

It was somewhat similar to the sound of grinding teeth, and also like something was laughing.

Above her head.
