I helped my stiff and frozen sister to stand up, but it was just too cold for her to even open her legs.
Liu Pengqiang looked at my sister for a while, then he squatted down and carried my sister back home.
In every sense of the word, Liu Pengqiang is the savior of our family.
But he just waved his hand and left without a care.
My mom saw my frozen and stiff sister, with a complicated expression, sitting on the side sighing heavily.
After a long time, she finally spoke:
"Let's move in a couple of days."
As soon as the words were spoken, the phone vibrated with a message from a stranger.
The words "Death Notice" are written on top, and the content is even more bloody and terrifying. There is a gruesome photo of a pregnant woman who jumped off a building a few days ago, and below it is written: "At two in the morning, I will come to knock on your door on time. Don't run around, just wait for me obediently."
This is a terrifying threat message. Not only me, but also my sister and my mom received the same message. It seems that this message has been sent to the entire building. As expected, several households' lights have all turned on, and there are restless figures moving inside.
But compared to those illusory misfortunes, this is obviously man-made.
So who could have done it?
In an instant, I thought of the secret dealings with Zhang Feng.
He took out so much money and spitefully said "kill them all." It seems like everything adds up. But why did he have to kill everyone?
I put down my phone and took my sister back to her room to rest. Then I heard a commotion upstairs and downstairs, followed by a moment of quiet. It's now past 1 am, and there are 38 minutes left until the time that person mentioned.
I have closed all the doors and windows at home, always ready.
Although I am not sure if that person really intends to do so, from the abnormal behavior in these days, anything is possible.
I huddle on the sofa, closing my eyes tightly.
Suddenly, there came the sound of hurried footsteps from outside the door. The person's footsteps were very chaotic, as if someone was chasing after him. He knocked on many doors, shouting, "Save me."
But at this critical moment, everyone is struggling to survive. How could it be possible to open the door to save others?
Immediately after, a person fleeing for their life cried out, "You monster, don't touch me, get away!"
The person referred to as a monster did not speak, but instead raised their hand and the knife fell.
In the quiet room, it seemed as if one could hear the sound of the blade piercing flesh.
The process only took a few seconds, and soon the outside became quiet again.
The man's footsteps are getting closer and the knocking on the door is becoming more frequent.
Strangely, he only cares about the courtesy of knocking on the door, rather than actually waiting for people to open it.
He will force you to open the door in a more brutal way.
The man who was just killed is like this.
Soon, there were several heart-wrenching cries in the corridor.
At this moment, the phone vibrated again.
It's not a text from a stranger, but from the homeowners group. Someone who had opened the door was describing the killer's brutality in a confused manner. "His face had no features, only two nostrils!"
"No! He seems to have four arms, it's too terrifying!"
"Are you sure? I remember his head being huge, with bloodshot eyes, like an inflated red balloon."
"Ah, please stop, I'm going to be scared to death, wuwu."
"Did anyone actually call the police? We don't want to die!"
The homeowners group was bustling with excitement, with almost everyone claiming to have seen a monster.
But where in the world would there be monsters? This is ridiculous.
At that moment, Zhang Feng spoke in the group.
"This monster looks like a mutant with genetic abnormalities."
With this description, the group fell silent instantly.
They tried hard to recall the previously killed deformed babies, and the replies gradually became consistent. It wasn't until then that they realized the possibility of the killed babies coming back for revenge. They had different opinions, and the more they talked, the more mysterious it became.
I looked at Zhang Feng's WeChat account and felt strange.
Strange, shouldn't he be busy killing someone at this time?
Why does he still have the mind to reply to messages here?
Just then, the homeowners group sent a bloody picture.
It was Zhang Feng, who had been dismembered.
The photo was not censored, but the person was quickly banned, and the photo became invalid.
But in those brief one or two seconds, everyone saw the bloody and blurry corpse clearly. No one dared to send messages anymore, and everyone turned off the lights at home, not daring to make a sound. At 2:30 in the morning, I tried to contact the local police and found that the signal had already been blocked.
Communication is limited to within the community, and there is no way to get any information from the outside world.
It's as if we are completely cut off from the rest of the world.
Just when I was getting anxious, the footsteps outside the door stopped.
Immediately after, the scariest sound of the night rang out.
"Thud thud thud."
The door of my house was knocked on, and my mom was so scared that she screamed and ran directly to the bedroom to hide.
I am the only one left in the living room.
The knocking on the door outside has not stopped, continuing with a rhythmic pattern.
I take a few deep breaths and slowly move towards the door.
It's not Zhang Feng, then who could it be?
Through the peephole, I saw a man in a black leather jacket.
To be precise, that couldn't be considered a person.
Extra arms, a head that's not in proportion, and a strange way of walking.
I believe the people in the homeowners group are not lying, because this really looks like a monster.
I tried to get a clear look at his appearance, but in the dim light, all I could see was a patch of black hair.
Suddenly, he looked up and locked eyes with me.
"Ah!"
I screamed and fell to the ground in fright.
That's a monster without any facial features!
The visual impact is too strong, I can feel my heart pounding.
A loud noise interrupted the knocking at the door outside.
He stopped for a moment, followed by a very harsh scraping sound. It was as if someone was scraping the blackboard in the classroom with a knife, very harsh and unpleasant. I couldn't help but cover my ears tightly, afraid to move.
Fortunately, the person outside the door did not intend to break in. He paused for a few seconds before moving on to the next house. Shortly after, there were sounds of fighting and screams coming from the neighbor's place. My neighbor is probably dead, and it's been less than ten minutes since the incident.
I calmed down and then received a call from Liu Pengqiang. His voice sounded urgent, with a sense of excessive worry.
"Yu Xin, are you and your sister okay? I just heard a harsh scraping sound from your end. Has the culprit gone to your place?"
Uncle Liu and I are neighbors upstairs and downstairs.
The loud knocking just now was not surprising that he could hear it.
On the phone, he was anxiously asking all kinds of questions, as if he was really worried to the extreme.
I steadied my mind and replied to him, " Uncle Liu, we're fine. Just... be careful." Liu Pengqiang heard my hesitation for that second, knowing that I was scared, and didn't say anything more, letting me rest first.
I put down my phone, feeling a vague unease in my heart.
Was that just my imagination?
It's barely dawn, and I've already received a message from the homeowners group.
"Last night's performance was with seven people, looking forward to tonight a bit."
