Chapter 320: Return (1)

The light was supposed to be dim and turbid, but Qin Heng’s eyes had already adapted to the darkness. When it was cold and bright, it actually felt a little piercing.
A moth flew into the lampshade. Under the light, the moth flapped its wings desperately and crashed around. Its shadow was magnified many times and flickered with the light, like a demon flapping its wings.
“.. It was so smelly! It’s so stinky!”
“.. It was so smelly! It’s so stinky!”
The Echo rang twice and gradually disappeared. The light was still on, leaving only the sound of the trapped moth trying to fly out of the cage and hitting the lampshade. Qin Heng did not know why, but he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
The ceiling above his head and the surrounding walls all gave Qin Heng a heavy feeling of suppression and restraint.
His disgust for this neighborhood deepened, and he had the urge to turn around and leave. However, at this moment, the elevator finally came down.
After a ‘ding’ sound, the door slowly opened, and a stench that was a thousand times stronger than before wafted out, making him want to vomit.
“This f * eking elevator looks like it just transported zombies!”
The Echo of Qin Heng’s angry curses seemed to have many people whispering around him, which made him feel a lingering fear. At this time, his voice was much lower, as if he was muttering to himself.
The surroundings were too quiet, and the other people in the building seemed to have fallen asleep at this moment. He made such a big noise, but no one turned on the lights or scolded him. It was as if everyone had already gone to bed.
This silence made Qin Heng’s hair stand on end. It was as if his ears were ringing and he was hallucinating.
He had to mumble to himself and make some noise to dispel the silence.
‘Clang, clang, clang’. The moth inside the lampshade was still not giving up. It was unknown how this silly moth had managed to escape the net and run in here.
The shadow flickered and appeared. It was extremely terrifying. Sometimes it appeared on the gray wall, and sometimes it appeared on Qin Heng’s face, making him feel terrified. As if he was escaping from a disaster, he pinched his nose and entered the elevator.
The elevator door closed slowly. After a while, it started to move up.
The first floor, the second floor, the third floor … Its speed was extremely fast.
This was also strange. Usually, this elevator was old, and Qin Heng guessed that it had probably exceeded its service life. In the past, they had to go down from upstairs, and it took an extremely slow time to go from floor to floor. Why was it so fast today? after a while, they actually reached the tenth floor, as if they had taken a roller coaster.
He couldn’t help but curse again. A foul smell entered his lungs through his respiratory tract, and he was about to cry.
Qin Heng wiped his eyelids. From the corner of his eye, he realized that he had not pressed the ’17’ button after entering the elevator.
The elevator had already reached the 14th floor, and he hurriedly reached out to press the button.
However, before his fingers touched the button, the elevator had already gone up to the fifteenth floor, the sixteenth floor … The moment he pressed the button, he stopped on the 17th floor.
He couldn’t tell if he had pressed the button for the 17th floor, or if the elevator had automatically reached the 17th floor by default, or if someone on the top floor had pressed the button in advance because they wanted to get off.
The door opened with a ‘ding’, and the stench in the corridor became stronger. It seemed to be the source of the stench from the previous floor.
The corridor was not ventilated, and the stench did not dissipate for a long time. It brewed for a long time and made people feel nauseated. It was so suffocating that Qin Heng’s tears were about to flow out.
This smell was like someone’s pet or something that had been dead for many years and had rotted.
He felt even more disgusted with the house and was even angrier about the ■prank’ call he had received in the evening to trick him into coming home. He cursed angrily and walked along the corridor to the door.
The dark clouds were thick that night, blocking the moon. The night outside the corridor window was as thick as ink, and the lights were dim and lusterless.
The surroundings were extremely quiet. It was as if the entire building had been cast with a spell and had fallen into a deep sleep.
As he walked forward, his heavy steps made ‘ta, ta, ta’ sounds on the ground.
The sound seemed to be amplified several times as it passed through the narrow and cramped passageway. There was also the sound of ‘ta, ta, ta’ echoing, giving Qin Heng the illusion that there were countless ‘people’ following his footsteps.
He looked back from time to time, but every time he looked back, all he saw was an empty corridor and the closed door of his neighbor.
The elevator door closed and the light in the elevator was gradually locked. Only the dim lights in the corridor and Qin Heng were left.
In the safety corridor, there was a slight ‘dang’ sound, followed by a rustling sound.
It was as if a pair of eyes had been staring at him from the source of the voice, but when he turned his head again, there was only a long narrow window in the passage and the tightly closed neighbor’s door.
For some reason, Qin Heng’s eyelids kept twitching. Everything that happened tonight made him feel like his scalp was tight.
He couldn’t wait to reach the door and take out the key, but before his hand could touch the doorknob, the door creaked and slowly opened a gap.
An extremely cold wind blew out slowly with a foul smell. Qin Heng pinched his nose. Seeing this scene, dissatisfaction and anger once again suppressed the fear in his heart.
“This damned woman, she didn’t even lock the door!”
He pushed the door open and entered. He did not notice that the lock on the door, which had barely been put back in, had shaken twice. Half of the lock had fallen off, revealing the long and short electric ends that had been forcibly pulled off by song qingxiao.
The moment he stepped in, the door moved on its own and slowly closed, blocking all the weak light in the corridor!
It was so dark in the room that Qin Heng held his phone in one hand and tried to turn on the light with the other.
In the past, no matter how late it was when he came home, someone would always leave the light on for him, afraid that it would be too dark. He would accidentally knock himself into the light. This was the first time that he was greeted by a cold and lonely home.
Qin Heng cursed again and again. He touched it twice, but he still couldn’t find the light switch. He put down the hand that was pinching his nose angrily and reached out to touch the wall.
The moment his breathing became smooth again, a stench that was thousands of times stronger than before rushed into his nose, making him dizzy. His internal organs seemed to be stirred by an invisible pair of hands, making him feel nauseated.
The room seemed to be the source of the stench in this building. What exactly did Chu ke do in the room?
He touched the switch on the wall and pressed it twice, but the light didn’t light up. He didn’t know if the circuit was old or if it hadn’t been repaired after a short circuit.
Qin Heng turned on his phone’s flashlight and shone it into the house.
Under the weak light of the flashlight, there were countless fine dust particles rolling and floating in the light.
Chu ke was a virtuous person, and this family meant a lot to her. She had always taken good care of the family and would not let the house be left unattended.
There were many footprints on the ground, the sofa was in a mess, and the curtains were half drawn. It was obvious that many people had entered and exited this house!
At this time, it was like the dead of winter. Someone poured a basin of cold water with ice on Qin Heng’s head, causing his originally hot head to instantly cool down.
The joy and excitement he felt when he received song Qing’s phone call, the anger and hatred he felt when he found out that Chu ke was still alive, the dissatisfaction he felt towards the environment in the neighborhood, and the disgust and dislike he felt towards his wife all faded.
Many clues in her mind began to rush out.
In the phone call he had received the previous evening, the girl had calmly said,”
“Hello, are you Mr. Qin?”
from the security Department. Something happened to your wife. I’ve been trying to reach you but 1 couldn’t.
Miss Chu’s body is currently in the city Hall…”
“Helio … The guard Station … The body will be temporarily stored in the city Hall…”
“Old… Sir…”
“I’m, here, going back… Wait for me.”
“Wait for me…”
“Wait for me…”
“Wait for me…”
The words ‘wait for me’ turned into a curse-like demonic sound that reverberated in his mind..
