Chapter 45 Children should watch fewer horror movies
Su Zixu vaguely felt that something was strange there, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Wait a minute, I think I left something behind." After saying that, Su Zixu immediately turned around and went back to the bedroom.
After entering the bedroom, Su Zixu quickly locked the door from the inside.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he felt that something was off. Was things going too smoothly?
"Brother Zixu." A voice called out in the bedroom, which made Su Zixu immediately bristle.
"Have you found it yet? Hurry up, let's get out of here quickly." The voice outside kept urging, and the tone was getting impatient.
"Two Liu Runyus?" Su Zixu wondered.
"Brother Zixu."
"I'm here." It was another soft call, as if the person making the call was afraid of being discovered.
Su Zixu followed the sound and found it was coming from under the bed. He mustered his courage and crawled down to look under the bed.
A boy who was about half a year old was curled up at the inside of the room; it was Liu Runyu when he was a child.
Just as Su Zixu was about to speak, the child under the bed made a shushing gesture.
Immediately afterwards, the boy quickly crawled from under the bed to Su Zixu's side, grabbed one of his hands, and wrote a few words in Su Zixu's palm: "There are ghosts outside."
Su Zixu immediately understood; it seemed his intuition had saved his life.
"Bang bang bang".
Violent banging came from outside the door, and the lock was being violently twisted, making a "crackling" noise.
Seeing this, the boy under the bed quickly wrote a few more words: "Make no sound, don't move."
"Can't it make a sound?" Su Zixu pondered these words.
Before he could figure it out, the door made a loud "bang" and the lock fell to the ground.
Then an eyeball appeared in the round hole left after the door lock fell off. The eyeball stared intently into the room, rolled around a few times, and finally looked at the bed.
"Damn it." Su Zixu thought to himself that this was bad. At this moment, he was certain that Liu Runyu outside the door was indeed the ghost.
He estimated that he was currently in the ghost's blind spot.
Just as he was about to crawl under the bed, Liu Runyu, who was under the bed, stopped him.
"Squeak—"
The old-fashioned door hinges groaned as the bedroom door was gently pushed open by a ghost.
"Brother Zixu, where are you? Come out quickly, we should go." The ghost stood at the door, peering into the house.
The ghost called out at the door for a moment before entering the room, then suddenly lay down and looked under the bed.
After observing for a moment and finding no one there, he slowly stood up and walked towards the wardrobe.
Since entering, the ghost had never once glanced at Su Zixu, who was crawling by the bedside.
This scene stunned Su Zixu, but he quickly recovered.
"So that's how it is. This ghost can't see stationary living things."
Su Zixu understood Liu Runyu's meaning at this moment: ghosts cannot see stationary living things unless the living thing is moving or making a sound.
After reaching a conclusion, Su Zixu first wrote a message in Liu Runyu's palm with his back to him, and then stood up while the ghost had its back to him.
Su Zixu kept adjusting his angle, only daring to move when he was sure he was in the opponent's blind spot.
Not long after, the ghost, perhaps feeling it hadn't caught anyone, sighed and left the bedroom.
Su Zixu watched the other person's figure gradually disappear through the doorway. Only after confirming that the other person had gone far away did he slowly walk out.
But just as he stepped out of the bedroom and was about to go to the room across the street, the child that suddenly appeared in his peripheral vision made Su Zixu's body tremble involuntarily.
"Brother Zixu, what are you doing? I couldn't find you anywhere, I was so worried!"
The little devil stared straight at Su Zixu, then quickly reached out and grabbed Su Zixu's arm, as if afraid he would run away again.
It turns out that the ghost had been waiting for him at the bedroom door ever since he left.
"Runyu, I was just looking for you."
Seeing that the little devil still wanted to continue acting, Su Zixu suddenly got into the mood and started making things up as well.
"I haven't found my things yet, and I was thinking of giving up, but after I came out, I didn't see you outside."
Su Zixu secretly glanced under the bed in the bedroom, and at that moment Liu Runyu also looked at him anxiously.
However, Su Zixu already had a plan in mind. He signaled to Liu Runyu with hand gestures, indicating that Liu Runyu should go to the room opposite the next room when the opportunity arose.
"Brother Zixu, what are you doing?" The little devil noticed Su Zixu's little actions, but didn't say anything.
"It's nothing. My hands are tired from looking for things. Let's go." Su Zixu took the little devil's hand and walked towards the door.
The ghost gripped Su Zixu's hand tighter and tighter, and a look of madness gradually appeared on the ghost's face, out of Su Zixu's sight.
A dark shadow flashed past behind the man and the ghost, and at the same time, Su Zixu felt something hit his back.
He turned and looked down, where a small ball made of toilet paper lay on the ground.
It seemed that Liu Runyu had moved to another location. After confirming that he had successfully gone to the opposite bedroom, Su Zixu suddenly stopped.
The ghost beside him noticed that Su Zixu had stopped, and its face instantly turned gloomy.
It turned its head and glanced at Su Zixu, thinking that the other party had discovered that it was a ghost, so it pulled hard on the other party's arm, trying to drag Su Zixu away directly.
"Runyu, is anyone else at home? I think I heard a noise in the bedroom."
Su Zixu was dragged along and nearly fell. He pointed towards the bedroom, his voice tinged with fear.
"I'm the only one home. You're saying there's someone in the bedroom? Where?"
The ghost looked in the direction Su Zixu was pointing, then looked away, staring intently at Su Zixu's face, its eyes filled with death.
"There really is someone there, it looks...it looks like they're under the bed!"
Su Zixu's voice trembled as he spoke, as if he were afraid of something.
Seeing that the ghost was still hesitant, Su Zixu mustered his courage and pulled the ghost back to the bedroom door. "Look for yourself! Under the bed! There really is something under the bed!"
"Why can't I see anyone, Brother Zixu? Where is he?" Ghost lay down with suspicion, staring intently at the bottom of the bed, but he didn't see anyone.
"Take another look, it really is there!" Su Zixu shouted, slowly backing away, then flashing into the room behind the door.
When the ghost turned around again, it found that Su Zixu's figure had disappeared.
At this moment, it realized that it had been tricked, and its expression instantly turned ferocious.
Inside the door, Su Zixu quickly locked it after entering the room.
"Brother Zixu, over here." Liu Runyu popped out from the TV cabinet and waved to Su Zixu.
The roar of a ghost gradually changing shape and the sound of banging came from outside the door. It wouldn't be long before the door was opened.
Su Zixu strode towards the television. Watching the movie playing on it, he finally understood why the current scene had occurred.
The movie playing on TV was exactly the same story he was experiencing, and the protagonist was also a child.
Liu Runyu has put himself in the shoes of the character.
"Kids shouldn't watch too many horror movies," Su Zixu said, lifting Liu Runyu up with one hand and reaching for the television with the other.
The bedroom door was quickly broken open, and Liu Runyu, somewhat anxious, urged, "It's coming in, bro, hurry up."
"Shut up."
Su Zixu's face was extremely pale. He could sense that the television was the exit, but after touching it for a long time, he still couldn't get a response.
"Remote control, bro, I used the remote control to go out," Liu Runyu said urgently.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Where's the remote control?" Su Zixu frowned immediately and turned around to start searching.
"I thought we went out in different ways." Seeing this, Liu Runyu also started searching.
"Found it! Found it, bro! Quick, switch channels, keep switching until you see the prison image!"
Liu Runyu wasn't sure if he could switch channels himself, so to be on the safe side, he handed the remote control to Su Zixu.
The banging on the door continued unabated; at this point, the door probably wouldn't last even half a minute.
Taking a deep breath, Su Zixu steadied himself and focused intently on the screen, sweat beading on his temples.
After switching between the two methods more than ten times, Su Zixu's eyes lit up, and he stopped what he was doing.
The door was smashed open at that moment, and the ghost roared as it lunged at the two of them.
Su Zixu grabbed Liu Runyu's arm and pulled him toward the old television.
The television screen showed cell 607, where the two men were lying in the middle of a circle of mirrors.
The moment Su Zixu's fingertip touched the screen, the things in front of him began to distort and detach rapidly.
"Brother Zixu, you must be careful."
Not long after, Su Zixu woke up from his dizziness. He was sitting on a bus, and Liu Runyu's last words still echoed in his ears.
