"Finally back..."
Looking out the car window at the old building below Crimson Moon, Lu Xin let out a long sigh of relief.
After more than four days of trekking, Lu Xin and his team finally returned to Qinggang.
The return trip would take a day or two longer than the trip there, so there was nothing we could do about it. After all, it was Gecko who drove the car when we went there, but when we came back, Mizang and everyone else drove a car. Driving skills varied, so in order to prevent falling behind, everyone had to slow down a bit. After driving for several days, everyone except Gecko felt sore in their buttocks...
Fortunately, Han Bing had already contacted Qinggang in advance, and this support mission was very important, so he was received early by the people sent by Qinggang. I didn't enjoy the courtesy when I left Black Marsh City, but I enjoyed it when I came back.
Helicopter pick-up and military escort are nothing. Having someone drive for you is the most important thing.
After a simple inspection of these off-road vehicles picked up "accidentally", Chen Jing sent people to deliver them downstairs to his home.
A group of them went to the headquarters to report as usual.
Because Han Bing had already prepared the mission report in advance, the report was very simple. He basically went through the procedures and then came back for vacation as usual. Originally, a celebration banquet was prepared at the headquarters, but their group unanimously refused.
It really hurts my butt.
Gecko was the first to leave. Before leaving, he solemnly asked Lu Xin a few questions:
"Captain, do you know my phone number?"
"Do you know where I live?"
"Do you know which store I usually go to?"
"..."
After Lu Xin answered seriously, he got into the taxi, turned off the phone, took out a fifty-yuan note and handed it to the master, saying solemnly, "Master, just close your eyes and drive. Go anywhere, as long as it's fun..."
"Don't take me home, and don't tell me where to go in advance, just leave..."
"I don't even know where I'm going. Let's see who can recruit me temporarily..."
"..."
The seriousness and solemnity on his face looked quite scary.
Chen Jing sent someone to escort Lu Xin out and told him to have a good rest and discuss anything after his vacation.
Lu Xin heard her concern and said with a smile, "In any case, the mission has been successfully completed and all the team members have been brought back."
"... Including your secretary."
"..."
When he heard the word secretary, Chen Jing was obviously stunned for a moment. "What secretary?"
Although she remembered it quickly, some unknown little monster shed tears all over the floor.
Rejecting Chen Jing's suggestion to rest for one night in a hotel arranged by the headquarters, Lu Xin flew out that night after completing the mission report. The helicopter landed at the Guard Department, and then Lu Xin came out. After looking around, he didn't see the young policewoman, so he had to leave Guard Department hungry. I called a car casually and rushed back to the old building where I lived.
When I got out of the car, I first saw the off-road vehicles and large trucks parked downstairs.
Lu Xin has been driving for several days, but I still like it very much.
The feeling a man feels when he owns his first car cannot be described in words...
... What's more, Lu Xin has four cars!!
After walking around the car first to make sure there was no damage, Lu Xin's mood suddenly became better.
Then he took a long breath and looked up at the old building under Crimson Moon.
I have to say that after everyone had been having fun together for more than ten days, when they suddenly left, it felt strange and lonely.
With a sigh, Lu Xin checked that all the cars were locked, then picked up his luggage and entered the old building.
"Da da da..."
When Lu Xin walked into the desolate and cold corridor of the old building, my sister quickly appeared on the wall, crawling quickly and rushing inside. The father looked at his sister's anxious back, snorted coldly, and then followed Lu Xin obediently.
But he just followed and had no intention of carrying Lu Xin's luggage.
"My sister is young. She has been out for so long and finally returned home. What's the point of being happy..."
Lu Xin carried the bag and suitcase by himself, slowly climbed the stairs, and looked back with a smile.
Now the relationship between his father and himself has become more and more relaxed, and he has begun to listen to his own advice, but he is still very cruel to others.
Lu Xin also wants to persuade him from time to time.
On the other hand, my father, after hearing Lu Xin's words, subconsciously sneered, "Ha, do you really think this is home?"
"Huh?"
Lu Xin looked back at his father curiously.
The father was suddenly confused, his expression was a little unnatural, he waved his hand and continued to move forward.
The old building is still so quiet and dark, and almost none of the voice-activated lights work well.
Every time you pass a corridor entrance, you can see that the long corridor is a kind of gray with dense cobwebs.
Buildings are used to live in.
But in this old building, only my family lives.
So, when my whole family is outside, is this building dead?
Lu Xin had some strange thoughts in his mind.
There are indeed many places in this old building that seem strange. In his memory, it seemed that this old building was not just home to his family from the beginning, but had neighbors before. There are not many neighbors, just some occasionally.
However, it seems that many of these neighbors had conflicts with Mom, and slowly, they all disappeared...
There are many reasons for disappearance.
Some have returned to their hometowns, some have gone to seek refuge with relatives, and some have simply disappeared...
In short, in Lu Xin's memory, there used to be many neighbors in this building, but if we think about it carefully, there were none.
Lu Xin walked in and out of this building before and never felt anything strange.
But now, as he walked in the corridor, he suddenly became curious about the closed rooms one after another.
What is behind these doors?
Is it a warm haven just like your own family?
"How about... go in and take a look?"
The tall father followed Lu Xin, watching him turn his head and look to both sides from time to time, and suddenly said.
"Huh?"
Lu Xin was a little surprised and turned to look at his father.
His face was submerged in the darkness of the corridor, and his expression could not be seen. All he could see was that he seemed to be smiling.
"She's not at home anyway..."
The father's voice was very low and sounded softly, "Go in and take a look, wouldn't you?"
Lu Xin was slightly moved, and indeed a little curious.
After pondering for a while, he nodded slightly, and then slowly approached a room very close to his home. He still had a vague impression of this house. There seemed to be a woman named Zhang living in it. She was fashionable and beautiful, and she often peeked at him through the cracks in the door.
Later, she disappeared.
With such curiosity, Lu Xin gently approached the door handle and twisted it slightly.
There was a low "click" sound, and the door was actually unlocked.
My heart was pounding. Lu Xin I had never done this kind of thing like breaking into someone else's house before.
Even though this house has been empty for a long time.
Now, he had a feeling that he was doing something bad.
But out of consideration for a neighbor he hadn't seen for a long time, he took a deep breath and gently opened the door.
Squeak!
The door opened slightly, and the layout inside appeared in front of you.
The room was dark, and one could see dense cobwebs, messy and overturned furniture, a broken full-length mirror, and unpacked dinner plates. You can even see a few clothes hanging on hangers, and there are some dark red stains on the ground.
Just by taking a sneak peek inside, I could smell a strong musty smell.
The cold and fine wind swirled gently in the room, and seemed to bring some incomprehensible murmurs.
"Want to go in?"
Father stood behind Lu Xin, seemingly also full of curiosity.
Not far away, my sister, who had returned home early, saw that they had not followed for a long time, so she ran back along the wall.
"Yeah, you guys..."
Seeing Lu Xin and his father standing in front of the leader's house, looking around, they immediately wanted to speak.
"Shh..."
But Lu Xin and his father turned their heads at the same time, stopped their sister, and then looked at the empty room again.
It's dark and rundown, but it actually has some kind of attraction.
Just when Lu Xin gathered up her courage bit by bit, she raised her steps and prepared to walk into this room...
"Ding Lingling..."
Suddenly the phone rang rapidly.
Abrupt, anxious, and even can make people feel a sense of excitement and excitement.
The bell rang in this empty room that didn't look like it was inhabited at all.
Why is the phone ringing in Xu Yi's vacant room?
Lu Xin was startled for a moment, and then suddenly heard another phone ringing.
From my own home.
He was suddenly startled slightly.
Ding Ling Ling...
Ding Ling Ling...
The two bells sounded gradually, as if they were comparing and rising, and even had some intense connotations.
One rang at the house of the neighbor who disappeared, and the other rang at his own house. There was a fierce urging in the voice, as if he was strongly asking Lu Xin to come and listen. The ringing almost filled the entire empty old building.
Lu Xin I felt like I was suddenly caught in the middle.
He could go directly into his neighbor's room and listen to the call in the long-vacant room.
Or you can go home and listen to that increasingly anxious phone call.
But for a moment, he seemed to not know what to choose.
He subconsciously straightened up and looked back at his father, only to see that he had taken two steps back and was leaning against the wall nonchalantly.
He turned to look at his sister and saw that she was hanging upside down in the corridor, covering her eyes with her little hands, swinging back and forth.
This is quite embarrassing...
After pondering for a long time, Lu Xin finally made a decision, stepped back slightly, and closed the neighbor's door.
When he closed the door, the neighbor's phone call suddenly stopped.
However, the phone ringing from the direction of his home continued to ring, with no intention of hanging up.
"If you answer that call, wouldn't you tell others that you were here?"
Lu Xin decided to go back and answer the phone at home, while giving his father a complaining look.
He was the one who encouraged him to go in, and he was the one who backed away immediately when the phone rang. Really, it was nothing...
