Midnight Anchorwoman - C63

At that time, I had a fit of fear in my heart. If Xu Bing and I had been sitting at those two seats last night, would it have been us?

Hearing Gao Ming’s shout, I quickly walked out and said, “Gao Ge, why did you turn off the lights?” As I walked out, Gao Ming and another person were twisting the madman around.

“Nope.” I turned around and saw that the lights were on in Room 4.

I closed my eyes and opened them again. There was no change in them, and I was really suspicious of my eyes. I was sure that what I saw just now could not be an illusion.

“Let’s go.”

I walked quickly, not knowing if it had anything to do with me or not, but if it had, the woman I was fighting with would have been pitiful.

I remember that last time I saw that scene in the dormitory’s ladies’ room, that flustered cleaning lady said that anyone who sees it would be doomed, or even die.

The doors on both sides were locked, so we could only go down the stairs. If this thing stopped, it wouldn’t really be much different from the stairs.

“Don’t move.”

I heard the brilliant shout that the madman began to be dishonest when he went up the stairs. Everyone knew that this place was not safe, but he was a madman.

“Hold him.”

The whole ladder shook as I struggled forward. I grabbed the handrail on top of the ladder and saw something roll down the ladder.

“Bro, why did you let go?”

“No, he’s too strong.”

“Hurry up and go down.”

This was not the time to complain about who was right or wrong. The escalator was not very high, but it was not a game to roll down like this.

My life was on the line. I saw Dian Ge’s speed rapidly increase as he ran down. Suddenly, his feet started shaking violently, as though an earthquake was occurring. I could only grip on to the armrest with both of my hands.

Not only him, but us as well. The ladder that was originally still under our feet actually moved. It was also extremely fast. With this speed, it was impossible for us to run down from it.

“F * ck, call the people below. Tell the people from the mall to come up immediately.” We actually went back to the seventh floor. The leader was obviously flustered and exasperated.

These people were actually run away by a madman. If this matter was spread out, it would definitely cause them to lose a lot of face.

“Captain Xiao, there seems to be a problem with the elevator. We’ve already contacted them to fix it.”

“Hurry up.” The man yelled into the phone and hung up. The escalator kept going up and we were all trapped in the top floor.

“Captain Xiao, calm down.”

Kant took the cigarette out of his pocket and handed it to the man, and I stepped aside, disgusted with the smell. The few of them stood there smoking, looking at the time on their phones.

“What smell?”

My nose was the sharper kind, and sometimes even the tiniest tang could be distinguished. Suddenly, I smelled something burning, and in Gao Ming’s hand, he was still holding a cigarette butt that he hadn’t finished smoking.

At this moment, the leader’s hand was empty. “Where’s the cigarette?”

“On the ground.”

That guy replied snappily. In his eyes, my actions just now definitely meant that the river was bubbling (extra). I lowered my head and looked on the ground.

The smell of burnt flesh is getting stronger and stronger. I can see Gao Ming covering his nose, he should be able to smell it too. “What smell? “So smelly!” I looked around but didn’t find the cigarette butt he threw away. In reality, this was because he didn’t have any moral integrity. It wasn’t right to smoke in public, but he still casually threw the cigarette butt on the ground.

“Xia Mo, what’s wrong?” I squatted on the ground and continued my search. My actions caught the attention of many people. He walked over and asked.

“The cigarette is gone.” I quickly replied.

“Forget it, it’s just a cigarette butt.” A brilliant voice.

“Bullsh * t. A cigarette butt. What do I do if it’s on fire? Are you responsible for burning the stuff?”

I did react a little too loudly at that moment, and my voice was also very loud. I wasn’t talking to anyone, and Gao Ming was looking at me with that kind of expression. In his eyes, I must definitely be some kind of unreasonable woman.

Only after experiencing a few things would one truly understand that the painful experiences were often caused by a person’s negligence.

When he was young, a fire broke out in the village, especially during the new year.

When I was a child, I especially looked forward to the New Year, because only then would I have new clothes to wear, and then my grandmother would wear a flower on my head.

I heard someone shouting outside and my grandma got off the kang. In the countryside, it was the kind of kang that needed burning firewood and torches every day, and it was especially good for my health. After so many years, I had gotten used to sleeping on the bed, but I still missed the hot kang of my childhood.

When Grandmother and I ran out, we saw flames shooting towards the sky. There were shouts from adults and cries from children. The fire was especially big. I felt as if the entire sky was burning red. I tightly held Grandmother’s hand and could only foolishly watch.

The next day, when the fire finally went out, the family’s three houses were all burnt down, and their son and his family went to the village next door to celebrate the new year with their mother-in-law. Neither of the old men came out.

The next day, when they found the corpses, they were almost burnt to ashes. When they looked at the blackened corpses, for the first time, they felt fear of death deep within their hearts.

“Fire.”

I heard someone call out that the fire was actually in there. From the location, it looked especially like the room we had just entered. Of course, all we could see was smoke.

“Put out the fire.”

At this moment, someone finally realized how terrifying the fire was.

I ran in front. As I ran in, the special smell got stronger and stronger. There was no mistake, this was where the smell had come from.

It was really room four, and the door was open. When I rushed in, it was full of smoke and I couldn’t see what was going on inside.

Of course, I made a fatal mistake. There was no one inside, so I didn’t need to rush in at this time of year. There were no windows in this kind of place.

I felt as if I tripped over something, and my entire body fell to the ground. There was no smoke in the space below, so when I opened my eyes, there was actually someone inside.

Instead, there were two of them huddled in the corner, and when I opened my eyes, I saw them looking at me with that horrified expression.

“Come here.”

I shouted at the two of them, who were younger than us, probably a couple. “Come here,” I said. As I crawled in, I didn’t realize that there was no one in the room.

I felt as if I were about to touch the two of them. They kept backing away, and when I held out my hand, I realized that it wasn’t the fire they were afraid of, but me.

“Xia Mo.”

I felt someone grab me by the back and lift me off the ground. The light in Hall 4 was on and the smoke had disappeared. I looked at the dark corner in front of me and could see a faint burn mark. There was nothing else.

“Captain Xiao.” “Captain Xiao.”

The voice came from outside. The building’s security chief ran in with a group of people and saw us standing in the middle of room 4. “What are you guys doing here?”

“There was a fire in this house. People were burned to death, right?”

I turned suddenly and stared at the man behind me, and when I called out, I could clearly feel the trace of panic in his expression.

“Yes, that was an accident. We tried our best to save them, but who would’ve thought that there was still a couple who didn’t run out and were burned to death inside.”

“Is that where they sit?” I asked, pointing to two seats in the middle of room four.

“You, how did you know!”

My guess is correct, there are many seemingly unimaginable things, and there must be some reason behind it. The couple in Hall 4 who were burned to death refused to leave this place, and every night after the building closes, they would return to their seats before they died and quietly watch a movie.
