Panguan

There is also a floor lamp next to the sofa. It is also made of reddish-brown wooden frame and covered with embroidered silk cloth. It illuminates the figures on the ground.

Wenshi held a piece of paper on the coffee table in his hand and stood there waiting for someone.

In fact, when he first came down, he had already walked around the first floor alone.

According to past experience, in a cage with gaps between areas like this, every time you cross an area, it is like entering the cage again.

Logically speaking, he should encounter some troublesome things during his descent - such as the fake Xia Qiao he encountered on the bus when he first entered the cage at Shenqiao. Or the two dummies walking side by side with him on the street outside Xiping Garden.

It's actually very dangerous to encounter those in the gaps, because the surroundings are nothingness, nothing and nothing. If you accidentally go in the wrong direction due to interference, or mistakenly think you have landed, you end up following those things to other places. It's very possible that he's going to die.

He was alert all the way when he heard about it, but strangely, the whole falling process was extremely clean, and nothing bothered him.

This surprised him a little. So after arriving on the first floor, he stayed alone for a while to make sure that there was really no dirty thing causing trouble, and then he sent a message to the people upstairs telling them that they could come down.

After a while, footsteps suddenly sounded on the stairs.

When he heard this, he turned around and looked over. Xia Qiao was the first to turn over from that side. When he saw him, he called "Brother" and trotted over. The second one to appear was Zhou Xu. Then came Sun Siqi, Dadong, and finally Shen Manyi and Lao Mao.

Wen Shi counted all the way and his eyes fell on the blank space behind Lao Mao: "Thank you for asking, haven't you jumped yet?"

Lao Mao was also stunned: "The boss isn't here? That shouldn't be the case. He came down before me."

Dadong and the others looked at each other: "What about others?!"

He frowned and his heart skipped a beat when he heard it.

At this moment, the gramophone on the cabinet suddenly moved, the tip of the needle scratched on the vinyl surface, and old-fashioned music sounded in the room. Occasionally, some of the notes were distorted, with a strange sense of pitch change. .

Then the walkie-talkie in Sun Siqi's hand rustled a few times, turned on, and the female voice they heard upstairs spoke again.

She said warmly amidst the changing music: "A few days after Shen Manyi disappeared, Mr. Shen's teacher suddenly left a letter saying that he had something to do at home and was returning temporarily. The housekeeper sent a telegram to Tianjin Wei and also sent a message to Mr. Li's hometown. I have received no response.”

"No one in the Shen family has slept well these days. The second floor has been empty, and everyone has moved downstairs. The two young ladies sleep with the nanny, the young master and the nanny's son share a room, and the housekeeper and Mr. Li share a room. Now Come out with an empty bed."

"One night, the housekeeper was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. He planned to go to the police station at dawn the next day. He was going through the wardrobe and planned to put away the clothes and shoes he would wear tomorrow. Suddenly he found that several pairs of Mr. Li's shoes were in the cabinet. , not a pair is missing..."

"Then what did he wear home?"

"After that day, the Shen family frequently made trouble. As soon as everyone fell asleep, Mr. Li came back..."

After the female voice finished speaking, the gramophone did not stop. It continued to play weird songs, and there was dead silence in the corner.

Zhou Xu suddenly said softly: "I understand, each of us corresponds to a Shen family member. If one of us is missing in the story, one of us is missing. It was said before that Shen Manyi was missing, but the mouse has not appeared yet. Mr. Li, who is now teaching, also Missing, so..."

"So we'll all disappear in the end?"

So the cage owner can explode.

His face turned cold when he heard it.

Chapter 41 Room allocation

He moved his fingers almost subconsciously. Dozens of puppet threads snaked out and were nailed to every door on the first floor.

Squeak——

More than a dozen heart-wrenching sounds of opening the door overlapped together, and then with a "bang", it hit the wall heavily.

Everyone was caught off guard and shocked!

Timid people like Sun Siqi and Xia Qiao trembled visibly when the door opened.

All the spaces on the first floor were opened by force.

The dark doorways were like eyes, staring at everyone with a dusty aura. When the three boys went to smell it at the same time, they shrank back and looked back uneasily, always feeling that something would come out of a certain door.

It turned out that it was Wenshi himself who sprang out something.

Just as the metal chains clanked, the black python, big enough to wrap around the entire house, appeared again.

This time the distance was extremely close. When passing by everyone, sparks flying between the chains flew close to the scalp. It wasn't really a fire, but everyone still protected their faces.

The black python swung its tail past, and before anyone could react, it had already patrolled all the rooms.

It moved too fast, and the moment it came back, it set off strong winds, making everyone stagger. If the puppet could reflect the mood of the puppet master, then everyone present could feel that Wen Shi was not feeling well at this moment...except Wen Shi himself.

All his reactions are automatic.

The black python spit out the letter and squatted, exuding a cold and chilling feeling. The birds in Dadong fluttered from a distance for a long time before they dared to get closer.

Xia Qiao tentatively called out: "Brother?"

When Wen Shi raised his head while holding the puppet string, he saw Zhou Xu's and others' suspicious and cautious eyes, and saw his own frown in the mirror in the corridor.

It was only then that he realized belatedly that he was really unhappy.
