Chapter 107 Obsession
Chapter 107 Obsession
Jiang Ning groped his way up step by step. The stairs had been corroded and were falling apart, so he had to be careful with every step.
"Puppy? Where are you?"
She shone the flashlight around, and the beam of light hit the wall, looking hideous and terrifying.
The wind came in through the broken glass, making a strange humming sound, and occasionally blew into her face.
Jiang Ning continued walking. Now her back and waist ached and she was out of breath. According to the structure she remembered, she should be on the 42nd floor now.
I shone the flashlight on the floor signs on the wall, and it actually said the 22nd floor.
"Ah? Impossible, absolutely impossible, I clearly counted every floor, how could this happen?!"
Jiang Ning rubbed his eyes and confirmed again and again, but it was still on the 20th floor.
"Could it be... a ghost wall?!"
Although she didn't want to believe it, this seemed to be the only reasonable answer at the moment.
She thought of what was said in the movie. It seemed that this kind of situation could only be solved if other living people came in.
"Wow, God, have I offended you? Why do you give me so many obstacles?"
Jiang Ning stood alone in the dark corridor, not knowing whether to leave or stay. Moreover, the place was surrounded by police. Unless someone as idle as she was came in, this closed loop might never be broken.
She squatted on the ground and looked at her cell phone. Although she remembered to fully charge it when she came, there was no signal at all now. What's the use of charging?
But when I thought about it, that group of things were not living people, I was afraid that even if I found her, it would be useless.
Just then, a rhythmic sound of footsteps rang out in the corridor, clattering, clattering, and each footstep deeply pierced Jiang Ning's heart.
Jiang Ning cursed in his heart: "What the hell!"
Listening carefully, the sound seemed to come from above, but how could someone be walking around in this abandoned building wearing leather shoes?
Jiang Ning was completely frightened and didn't dare to think about it any further.
So she began to think of ways to save herself and decided to run down regardless of the consequences, because she thought this would save more energy than climbing up.
No matter what, we should at least avoid that voice.
She also made a risky decision, which was to place the only light source on her at the moment on the stairs as a reference, so as to determine whether she had run out or not.
Jiang Ning covered his ears, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and rushed down, fearing that he would slow down.
After going down one level, she carefully opened her eyes. It seemed to have worked a little, as her flashlight was not seen on this level.
"As expected of me, I am so smart. I solved this situation so quickly."
Just when Jiang Ning was feeling complacent about this, something happened that made her feel cold.
As far as she could remember, Jiang Ning only ran down one floor, but when she looked up, she still could not see the light from the flashlight.
"Did I run over there?"
Jiang Ning turned on his cell phone and used the light from the phone to take a look at the floor number on the wall. It showed: 43rd floor.
At this moment, an idea exploded in her head like thunder. Could it be that everything just now was fake, and the current self was real?
She pinched her arm hard, and it hurt so much that she was sure that all this was real.
"I should have thought of this method earlier."
Jiang Ning felt a little regretful, but then he became excited again after thinking about it, as if he had been reborn after a calamity.
"Forget it, let's hurry up and go upstairs. There are so many things to do."
But this time Jiang Ning learned her lesson. She looked at the floor every time she went up, then hit herself to confirm that everything was real before continuing to go up.
"Jiang Ning! Jiang Ning! Where are you?!"
Jiang Ning stopped in his tracks. It was the sound of a puppy!
As soon as she came out of the corridor she started shouting, "I'm here! Hey!"
Three seconds later, the puppy appeared in front of her.
As soon as she saw Jiang Ning, before she could even open her mouth, Xiao Gou scolded her:
"Where have you been? I flew down to look for you but you weren't there. I thought you might have come up, so I looked for you in the building, but after searching for a long time you couldn't even find your shadow! Do you know how worried I was? I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Jiang Ning thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Wait, why should I apologize? It was obviously because I couldn't find you that I went up there!"
"No, no, it's just..."
The puppy was beaten back to his stomach by Jiang Ning before he could even finish his words. Jiang Ning asked him:
"Forget it, let's stop arguing about these useless things. What did you see?"
The puppy was hesitant and couldn't explain clearly. Jiang Ning could see the discomfort on its face, the feeling of wanting to say something but not being able to. But he really couldn't empathize with it.
"What's wrong? Didn't Gu Yuan let you speak?"
Jiang Ning originally asked casually, but he didn't expect the puppy to nod vigorously, which made Jiang Ning dumbfounded.
"I just asked casually, you didn't really meet Gu Yuan, did you?!"
The puppy still nodded frantically, but couldn't speak.
Jiang Ning suddenly thought of something someone had told her a long time ago.
The man said: If a person still has deep obsessions after death, he will not be able to reincarnate. He will turn into a soul floating in the world, but he will not be able to say anything and can only watch.
And they will look for the most trusted person to help the deceased fulfill his or her last wishes, and no one else can see it.
She looked at the puppy's current condition again, and it was almost exactly the same as what the man had said.
"Really? Why didn't I think of this at first?"
She knew there was something fishy about this matter, but she just didn't think about it that way.
Jiang Ning slapped his thigh and decided to get some information out of the puppy. Since he couldn't tell her directly, he would let her ask.
The puppy's expression became excited, as if Jiang Ning's approach was exactly what it wanted.
Jiang Ning found a quiet place where he would not be disturbed, sat down, and began to ask questions.
"Did you come to me specifically for help?"
The puppy nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"
Jiang Ning felt secretly happy, it seemed that he did have some talent in this area.
She then asked, "Does your last wish have anything to do with me?"
The puppy shook his head.
"Does it have anything to do with Li Yiming?"
The puppy still shook his head.
Jiang Ning thought: That’s strange, we don’t have many mutual friends.
Besides, there are only these few people she is familiar with. If there are other people, it is unlikely that Jiang Ning would know them. Then why would Gu Yuan come to her for help?
The puppy was so anxious that he jumped up and down and flew around the room. He almost killed himself, but he couldn't get Jiang Ning to tell him the correct answer in his mind.
Jiang Ning sat on the ground, looked at the puppy, and said to it:
"Hey, don't fly. I know you're anxious, but am I not anxious too?!"
In a hurry, the puppy struggled to utter a few words, barely forming a sentence:
"No, you're wrong! It has nothing to do with you!"
"You come to me when it has nothing to do with me? You did it on purpose!"
Jiang Ning yelled at the thing. She had a stubborn temper and didn't want to pay any attention to it after being yelled at.
Those things had expressions of inexpressible pain on their faces. Perhaps only today did they truly realize what it meant to be a dumb person eating bitter herbs and not be able to express their pain.
Seeing that the puppy was so anxious that it was about to cry, Jiang Ning's attitude finally softened a little.
"Okay, sorry. You know I didn't mean it. If you insist on thinking that, then I can't help it."
The puppy was originally feeling good about himself, but this sentence undoubtedly dealt it a fatal blow.
That thing repeatedly argued:
"Oh, literally what I said is, it has nothing to do with you. It just has nothing to do with you guys, but it doesn't mean that this matter has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Ning looked at its face that looked similar to Gu Yuan, and a different feeling arose in his heart.
If Gu Yuan was still here, he would definitely say nothing, then handle everything and then throw the result in Jiang Ning's face.
Jiang Ning lowered his head to reflect on himself and tried to wake himself up.
"You've done so many wrong things, why can't I help but think of you now?"
She hit her head hard, hating herself for not living up to her expectations.
Jiang Ning's tone finally softened, and he said to the puppy:
"Okay, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."
There was an unprecedented calmness in his tone, as if nothing that had just happened had happened, and it was no longer Jiang Ning who said those angry words.
