Chapter 4: The Quilt

This time, the elevator came quickly. Lin Quying rushed into the elevator and quickly pressed the close button of the elevator, until the elevator closed, then he loosened the button. At this time, he leaned against the corner of the elevator wall, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt like he hadn't hit evil. Then, he quickly took out his cell phone and dialed a number. "Pick up the phone, pick up the phone! Pick up the phone!" The phone rang for about a long time before it was finally connected. At this time, the elevator just reached the 10th floor. Lin Quying took an arrow step and stepped out, returning to this familiar place, he even had a feeling of hot tears. "Hello …… Ah Lin ah? Why did you remember to call me?" "Cao Zhong! Yes, it's like this, can you come over and stay with me for a few days? Didn't your girlfriend go to Japan with her girlfriends to play? You're bored at home anyway." "Why would I come over to stay with you? I'm not interested in ladies' man!" "Who's bullshitting you! I'm begging you, come and stay with me! How about this, I'll recharge you to buy the King's new skin?" "That's something to consider, I've actually always wanted to buy that Fa Mulan skin, but I just quit my last job, and now I'm still squatting at home. Alas, what are you calling me for? It's not going to be live with you, is it?" "You come that's it, don't ask about the rest." Lin Quying lifted his shoulder to hold the cell phone in place while quickly taking out the key and looking back while quickly opening the door. After the door opened, he quickly carried his purchases inside, closed the door, and then locked every lock. "By the way, Cao Zhong, can you bring someone over again?" "Bring who? You're having a party? Wait, I can't bring beautiful women." "Don't want a pretty girl, preferably the kind with a tiger's back and big guts to come over!" "What do you mean, also tiger back and waist, when did you taste so heavy? Let me first state that I am 100% straight ah!" Lin Quying where in the mood to joke with this detrimental friend, he thought about it and said, "Alright! You …… bring someone over as much as you can! It's okay if I don't recognize them! I manage the meal, okay?" "Also become it. I'll try, say what kind of fart are you boy holding back?" "You'll know when you get here! What time can you get here? Better come at noon, I'll cover lunch! What do you like to eat, I'll place an order for you." "You kid seems to have made a lot of money doing live broadcasts, okay, then I'll be there at about 12 o'clock. As for calling people, I don't know and no one is coming, try it." After determining the time, Lin Quying was finally relieved. After hanging up the phone, he returned to his bedroom and lay on the bed, then took out his cell phone, intending to play a handheld game to eliminate his fear. After playing the handball game for a while, he kept getting KO'd, making him more irritated instead. "Forget it, no more playing!" He threw his cell phone towards the table and just lay on the bed for a while longer. Lying down, his head slightly swept towards the side, and he saw the high powered telescope. At this moment, he suddenly regretted buying this telescope. He stood up and walked over to that telescope, wanting to put it away completely and never look at it again. However, just as his hand touched the telescope, in his heart, the two emotions of fear and curiosity began to intertwine and started to fight. This is how people are, they tend to harbor these two feelings at the same time for the unknown. In the end, he did not move the telescope away. He brought his eyes towards the binoculars and once again looked at the building across the street. Inside the room of the woman in red on the 11th floor, there was still no one at this time. And looking from the mirror of the dresser, the red dress was still properly placed there. At the same time, he aimed his binoculars at the window next to him, that window, the curtains were half-drawn, while he saw three people sitting inside, among them were the man and the woman that he met at the convenience store just now, in addition to an extra man. The three people were holding a bunch of things to eat and drink at this time, it should be the convenience store just bought inside. At this time, he thought of the woman wearing a scarf earlier. He thought about it and quickly judged the room she walked out of, corresponding to which window. "Eh?" He soon realized that the place where the woman wearing the scarf lived was directly below the room where those three people were! He then looked at the window below, the woman in the scarf had just gone out, and the area visible from the window was empty. Lin Quying always had a feeling of uneasiness at this point, but he still watched that room carefully. That bedroom was generally quite tidy, while on the bed was a quilt …… "Hmm?" It was then that he took a closer look and realized that there was someone under the bed's rumbling quilt, there was a pair of feet sticking out from underneath that quilt, while the head of the person underneath the quilt was completely covered inside the quilt. Inferring from the size of those feet, it should be a man under the quilt. "That woman's husband or boyfriend?" He stared at the bulging quilt for a while, and the person under the quilt remained motionless. Wouldn't you find it hard to breathe in such a way of sleeping? "That quilt …… is very thick ah?" A quilt that thick in this season? And sleeping with your head covered? This won't be smothered and heated to death, right? The same goes for the woman just now, wearing a tweed suit and covering her entire neck with a scarf, and the same goes for this man inside the room. What is this situation? "What kind of weird people are these?" Lin Quying didn't want to look anymore, he pulled the curtains tight and sat in front of the computer, intending to watch a funny variety show, otherwise he felt too depressed. Clicking on the variety show video, he soon began to laugh out loud. Finally gradually began to get rid of the previous haze, looking back, he felt that he should have been overly concerned, right? An hour later, his cell phone rang, and it was Cao Zhong calling. "Hello, Cao Zhong?" "Ah Lin, I still had to come alone. I'm getting on the subway now." "Okay, Cao Zhong! What do you want to eat? I'll place an order for Meituan." "You take care of it, I'm not a picky eater." "Okay!" Thinking that Cao Zhong would be coming over soon, Lin Quying's heart was greatly settled! "Worthy of being a detrimental friend from college, I'm quite relieved when he's here." But then it occurred to him that he can't be allowed to show up for the afternoon live broadcast, when it comes to a live broadcast it will be a few hours, let him play the game in another room. When he was in college, he was said to be a sissy by many people because his looks were too pretty, while Cao Zhong and himself were the opposite, a full man, he started playing basketball from high school, his head was a full meter eighty-seven, and he was the rebound king of their department in college. Later on, he became a fitness expert, not a few days in the circle of friends in the sun muscle and mermaid line, and his girlfriend is in the gym to meet. Frankly speaking, his friends around him, only Cao Zhong knew that he was doing live broadcast, or dressed up as a female big brother. This kind of thing is still a little difficult for him to say, otherwise more people will say he is a sissy. He was doing live broadcasts to make money, never really enjoying being a pseudo-female. "Speaking of which ……" Lin Quying suddenly thought of something, that is, the "blood word" vocabulary that he heard in the convenience store before, always felt a bit familiar. "The fifth blood word …… the fourth blood word …… how does it feel like I've heard this expression before?" The more he thought about it, the more familiar he felt, but for a moment he couldn't think of where he had heard it. "It should have been recently!" He then began to determine that it was a memory very close to the present, but for a moment he couldn't remember when he heard it. At this time, he inadvertently scanned the video playback history and saw the viewing history of that reality show teaser, and suddenly remembered! "Right! It's Black Ghostfire's new book, The Devil's Apartment!" Several years ago he was a loyal book fan of Black Ghostfire's masterpiece, Mansion 444, before abandoning the pit because of the Cthulhu Mythos style of the book, Necrotic Cinema. Not long ago when he was browsing the Dragon Sky Forum, he saw a post commenting on Black Ghostfire's new book, The Devil's Apartment. The book was about the protagonist and his sister entering into a horror apartment, where the siblings were cursed and had to survive ten blood word quests to break away. The so-called bloodletter quests mean that upon arriving at a certain place, evil spirits and monsters are bound to appear, and the occupants can only survive if they find a way to survive. "No?" The more Lin Quying thought about it, the more he felt a few heartbeats. He slowly paced and walked to the front of that telescope again, looking at that window from before. At this moment …… he saw that in that bed was still that bulging quilt, and that pair of exposed bare feet, even the position did not look like it had moved a little! He just went to see the video to now are more than an hour, so long …… this person has been covered with the quilt to sleep until now? A horrible idea began to sprout from his mind. He couldn't be …… dead, could he?
