Chapter 33: Coughing Sound

The moment the door opened, the stench immediately became even clearer, almost giving Dong Xie the feeling that he wanted to vomit! Then, he saw a man in a black police uniform at the door! "How can …… this door open?" The officer also revealed an expression of surprise before looking at Dong Xie and saying, "Are you the residents of this building?" "Officer, what's with the foul odor in here?" Dong Xie couldn't help but cover his nose at this point, and Dong Ning and Zhao Long did the same. That police officer then said, "I don't know, my colleague and I also followed this stench over here, and the door was able to open at that time just as it is now, but then we split up and searched here, and we didn't find the source of the stench, but my colleague disappeared!" Hearing these words, Dong Xie realized that the other officer had probably already died in the line of duty. Thinking of this, he immediately cursed and Ge Qi, this beastly thing, inwardly. However, there was no point in saying this now. He immediately said, "It's like this, officer, we are the residents who just moved into this building today. What exactly happened that you came here?" "Someone called the police, saying that there was a fight here. So we came over to check things out. Do you guys know where 402 is? Is it this room?" "We just moved here, we're not sure." Speaking of this, Dong Xie continued to pursue, "Officer, I want to ask, did you guys find anything in here? We just moved here, did a criminal case happen on the first day?" "This place looks like it's obviously been unoccupied for many years, and I don't know if this stench is emanating from the fact that no one has cleaned it for years. Other than that nothing could be found. But my colleague inexplicably disappeared, I tried to contact inside the institute, but my cell phone was inexplicably turned off." "There is no phone inside ……?" "No." Dong Xie pondered for a while, he had to decide one thing at this time. Whether to personally go in and check it out, or to ask this officer for information. The latter was definitely safer, but the intelligence might not be comprehensive, but there was no doubt about the level of danger in the former. "Do you have a cell phone, I need to contact the office." Hearing the police officer in front of him say so, Dong Xie just wanted to say that none of us had a cell phone, but suddenly thought, no one has a cell phone this seems to be too unthinkable, in this era of mobile payment where no one can live a normal life without a smartphone, I'm afraid that saying that we don't have a cell phone will be suspected by the police, right? So Dong Xie had a bright idea and said, "It's like this, officer, the three of us also heard a strange sound here on the 4th floor before, so we all went out and wanted to come to take a look, and then the wind blew and closed the door, and the key was in it, and our cell phones were all in it ……" Dong Qi this sentence out, behind the Dong Ning heard a blank stare, this reaction is also too fast! Both explained why the cell phone was not with them, and also explained why they had come to the 4th floor. Sure enough it was just like what dad said back then, although my brother has always been bad at studying and taking exams, he is amazingly intelligent and resilient when it comes to some crooked ways. So growing up at home, she was always the good girl and her brother was the unconscious king of mischief. Dong Ning couldn't help but recall that when she was a student, her brother used to secretly buy comics outside behind her parents' backs. As a result, her parents used to raid his bookshelf to see if there were any new comics, and every time, her brother had the bright idea of pushing them to himself (because Dong Ning's grades were much better, her parents never objected to her buying girls' comics). At that time, Dad always asked why the covers of the comics she liked as a girl were all male. As a result, her brother told a lie and implied that he would buy her a year's worth of sweets if he helped him fulfill his lie. Dong Ning is actually quite regretful, because of this lie, her parents thought she was a rotten girl until her death …… Dong Xie finished this lie in one go, which was a relief. Next, he wanted to ask the police carefully if they had found anything. "Officer, is there anything unusual in here? I'm quite worried because I live right upstairs." Dong Xie's words were, in fact, not a lie. The officer then said, "If you don't have a cell phone, I'll have to make a trip back to the police station to report the situation and get reinforcements." Getting reinforcements? What a joke! If a whole bunch of police officers came, wouldn't they all come to die? But just at this time …… "Cough cough cough …… cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough ……" Behind them, an incomparably familiar voice entered the ears! This voice caused Dong Xie, Dong Ning, and Zhao Long to all change color in unison! After all, they were too familiar with this voice! A few hours ago, they had heard this voice! The coughing sound of the landlady who was supposed to be dead! And that sound, from behind them, began to come from far and near! The three of them immediately rushed into this room, and Zhao Long, who came in last, even looked back, resulting in the darkness, he vaguely saw what appeared to be the silhouette of a human figure approaching! Frightened, he immediately closed the door behind him! "Cough cough cough cough ……" Outside the door, that coughing sound still kept coming, and moreover, it was getting clearer and clearer! The policeman immediately asked them, "What's wrong with you guys? Why are you closing the door? What kind of person is outside the door?" All three of them were scared out of their wits, while the coughing sound stopped when it was almost close to the door. Instead, the policeman walked up and turned the doorknob! "No……" Zhao Long was so scared that he was about to go up and pull the policeman back, but the policeman was unable to open the door again! "What? Just now was not open? This door outside open inside can not open?" Now, they all realized that they were trapped here again! What should we do? Dong Xie looked at the door in front of him, still in a state of shock. A door, it simply couldn't stop an evil spirit. It was even possible that she might have already come in! The policeman looked at the three of them and continued to pursue, "Do you know anything? Was it you guys who called the police?" "No, it's not!" Dong Xie quickly thought of something to say again in a flash, "We were upstairs before and heard someone fighting downstairs, and then the one who was fighting said he wanted to beat the other to death, and he was coughing while doing so. So we were scared ……" "Don't you guys live upstairs? That's all you can hear?" "Well, the landlord told me that the rooms here are old and in disrepair, so the soundproofing is poor." Although there were still some loopholes in these words, Zhao Long still admired Dong Xie's resilience. As for Dong Ning, he had long since seen it coming. The policeman obviously still didn't believe it, "With a policeman like me around, you guys are still afraid?" That's right, this was the biggest loophole in Dong Xie's words. "This …… didn't react for a moment just now ……" Just at this time, Dong Ning added on the side: "My brother is very timid, you don't look at him so tall, he has never won any fights in school before." Dong Xie could only giggle twice, Zhao Long thought that Ning must be telling lies to round off the conversation, how could he have known that this was actually true. At the same time, he began to survey the room in front of him. It was a living room with no windows, so the light was weak and only some simple furniture remained. And after coming closer, the stench of the foul odor, became even stronger. And soon Dong Qi realized that the stench …… was coming from a room on the right!
