"Where is your home? Let me take you home."
"Home? This is my home."
After hearing his words, I was stunned.
This time, luck was on my side. I completed both tasks.
If I hadn't taken him home when we ran just now, I don't know what would have happened. Besides, we were hiding in his house.
Feeling that he can communicate, I tried to ignore his face, and I wasn't as afraid of him anymore.
Now that the task of taking the neighbor home is completed, we also hid from those without shoes.
I really don't have the courage to run out again, so I asked him shamelessly,
"Can we stay here for one night? We promise not to disturb you, and we'll leave at six."
He didn't answer me, just nodded, and then opened the red coffin and went to sleep inside.
I sat on the ground with Jin Fei, leaning against the wall.
There are good and bad neighbors in here, and we have to learn to distinguish.
There's nothing wrong with taking friendly neighbors home, but if you encounter someone like the one without shoes, you might lose your life.
Finally, we endured until six o'clock, and Jin Fei and I looked at each other, survivors of a catastrophe.
I walked to the side of the coffin and whispered,
"We're leaving. Thank you for sheltering us last night."
There was no movement in the coffin, and Jin Fei and I immediately left his house.
"Sister, sister..."
Jin Fei's voice trembled as she called me.
I turned back to look at her in confusion, and I was also shocked.
I saw that the room number we came out of was not 4009, but 4004.
No wonder that ghostly thing almost opened the door last night. We entered the wrong room.
But I remember it very clearly. It was definitely 4009 at that time. Could someone have intentionally reversed the door number?
And why is this neighbor's eye in the hands of the person without shoes?
It feels like there are many secrets among the neighbors on this floor.
After Jin Fei and I went downstairs, we found all the residents standing at the doorway.
Seeing us return safely, they all showed kind smiles towards us.
After all, we are still living beings in this place, which is better than not knowing what kind of ghostly thing is around.
The old man looked at us, his mouth making hoarse sounds.
"Which neighbor did you take home last night?"
"The neighbor from 4009."
"Did you encounter someone without shoes?"
"Yes, we hid in room 4009 to escape."
After listening to my words, the old man looked at me with a penetrating gaze.
After a while, he turned around meaningfully and left.
I politely greeted the neighbors on this floor and went to catch up on sleep with Jin Fei. We hadn't slept all night, and we were extremely tired.
