"Listen carefully, you must immediately leave your bedroom, escape from the house quickly and safely. The police will meet you. Otherwise, the criminals will break in through the window, and you will die there."

All the hope in my heart was completely extinguished after hearing these words.

If I still believe in these people, then I'm truly damned.

The tips of my fingers holding the phone grew colder and colder, and I found it ridiculous to look at the disconnected phone.

These people are so naive, using the same old tricks. Do they really think I would foolishly believe them?

But at that moment, I heard a creaking sound outside the window, as if something was pushing against the glass and slowly sliding down due to friction.

To avoid arousing suspicion, I kept the window tightly shut, with only a small gap in the curtains.

If there was someone outside the window at this moment, it would be difficult for me to notice immediately.

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant, and I tried to grasp one or two as a lifeline to support my decision.

I couldn't leave the house; there might be an even greater danger outside the door.

But if I stayed inside, behind the window glass... would it be a person or a ghost?

Faintly, I heard footsteps, but the sound was very soft, as if someone was slowly tiptoeing forward, coming from the direction of the living room!

If it was the police outside, why were they being so cautious, afraid of alarming me?

But if it was the police, then what was outside the window could very well kill me! Could I be wrong?

But 1204 clearly said the police hadn't arrived, so why did the person on the phone say it was the police outside the door?

Who is lying after all?
