He looked at my pale face as I slowly stepped back. He smiled lightly, revealing his white teeth.

"Alright, I was just teasing you."

Damn it! How can someone joke around at a time like this! We're going to die!

I recalled our previous experience of "escaping death" in that regulated domain, and the relaxed state of mind was slightly shaken.

"Anyway, let's not go out." I picked up a pair of bright and shiny fatty beef with my chopsticks and gave it to him.

"Don't you need a nucleic acid test, dear? Haven't you seen it?" This guy intentionally disgusted me. Well, silence does relieve tension.

"It's been canceled, haven't you heard? I'm not always so absent-minded." I rolled my eyes.

"It's the nucleic acid test that got canceled." He emphasized each word.

Nucleic acid test? That doesn't sound good.

"Dang dang dang."

We looked at each other, our mouths full of chili oil. Damn it, someone's knocking on the door. Could it be a ghost?

I followed You Lin stealthily, approaching the side of the door, and looked through the peephole. Damn, it's pitch black, there are eyes!

"Who is it?" I startled and angrily hit You Lin. Why did I deliver myself?

"Hello, we're from the community service department. Is your rule card ready? Can you give it to us as soon as possible?"

"Please step back, can we confirm it?"

! He actually stepped back.

Yellow vest, black pants, black shoes, no problem, I said.

You Lin rubbed his chin. "It's a bit too simple, don't you think... Can you turn around?"

He didn't move, staring straight at the peephole, with the corners of his mouth opening like a zipper. Suddenly, he pounced on me!

I was frightened and stepped back, hearing the sound of him hitting the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

It's not even Chinese New Year, does he have to be so enthusiastic?

"What should we do? What if he's not wearing red clothes? Will calling the security office cause trouble? The number is so unlucky."

"Just call." He looked at me and took out his phone. "If something happens, it's probably the person who made the call. Remember to save me and not go looking for other men."

He laughed at me, and I was so angry that I punched him. Bastard, always making these irrelevant jokes.

"Hello! Security office? What's the matter with one of your employees banging on our door? Is this how the staff of a luxury residential area behaves? It's really hard to trust our own safety with such poor management. If you don't handle it well, I'll complain to the Consumer Association about you."

I watched him blabbering nonstop, holding onto me with one hand. Actually, I'm not afraid of people, I'm just afraid that if it's a ghost, it'll suddenly twist itself into a pretzel and come towards me. Well, walking pretzels are really scary.

Between the two of us, You Lin has always been the smarter one. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have survived last time.

Although without me, he probably would have died even earlier.

"Sorry, sir, we'll send someone to your location at 505. Please wait patiently. Lastly, may I ask if you can confirm the color of the clothing worn by the staff?"

The voice on the phone gradually became eerie, and I saw frost forming around the mouthpiece.

"What do you mean? Why do I have to determine the staff's clothing? If he's wearing flashy clothes, you won't come? What kind of management system is this? Do you know that he scared my wife? Hurry up and come!"

He "beep" and hung up the phone.

?

Can this work?

"Whether it works or not, let's do it. Remember to cooperate with me later."

We waited, and the banging outside the door finally stopped.
