Chapter 366: Ordinary People’s Way to Break the Situation
Zhou Di breathed a sigh of relief.
After calling the police, he felt much more at ease.
But I still feel a little nervous, and more confused.
"Why would a murderer suddenly appear? And he would attack people without saying a word after seeing them."
"What's even more incredible is that I was killed twice, and each time, I was able to go back to a certain time period. This is like some kind of cycle. This is a bit supernatural."
Zhou Di muttered.
He looked at the time.
"The first time I was killed, it was almost dawn. It was the murderer who came to this floor. He must have met Brother Jia, so the dog barked. The murderer most likely killed Brother Jia, and then killed the dog. Then I happened to open the door and ran into him, so he killed me again."
"The second time, I was prepared and went downstairs an hour earlier. I ran into the murderer in the elevator. He was covered in blood, which meant that the killing had already begun and he was in the building."
"Wait a moment!"
Zhou Di took a few deep breaths.
"Why would there be a murderer? Also, is he a single person or a gang? That means even if I run out right now, I might run into him or his accomplices."
After briefly analyzing the matter, Zhou Di thought that it would be too dangerous to run out rashly now.
Even stairs may not be safe.
Relatively speaking, it is safer to hide at home, lock the door, and wait for police rescue.
Thinking of this, Zhou Di hurried to the door and locked it.
This made him feel a little relieved.
But he still held the baseball bat, and from time to time he would stand up, walk to the door, hold his breath and listen to the noise outside.
You know what, after a while, there really were footsteps.
It's very quiet, and if you're not standing close to the door, you probably won't be able to hear it.
It's not even five in the morning yet, and someone is walking stealthily in the corridor. This is obviously a problem.
Zhou Di held the wooden stick tightly.
There is nothing he can do now. He has already called the police. He just hopes that they can send someone over as soon as possible. Regardless of whether the murderer can be caught, at least it can form a deterrent. Conservatively speaking, it should not be a problem to scare the other party away.
Therefore, Zhou Di could only wait anxiously. Talking about this process, it was a bit thrilling and scary.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I seem to be able to hear some faint screams inside the building.
But it's more like an illusion in a trance.
Finally, after waiting anxiously for more than ten minutes, the phone suddenly rang.
This scared Zhou Di. He looked at the number and quickly picked up the phone.
The other party was a police officer who was on the dispatched mission. He said that he had arrived at the place and was going upstairs. Zhou Di immediately stated the floor and room number.
"Okay, let's go up and take a look. Have you spotted any suspicious people during this time?"
"I stayed in the room the whole time and didn't go out." Zhou Di told the truth.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Di breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be fine if the police came.
The police officer who called just now said that we have reached the first floor and it will only take a few minutes to go up by elevator.
But after waiting for dozens of minutes, no one knocked on the door, and there was no other movement in the corridor.
Weird!
Not to mention taking the elevator, you should even go up the stairs.
Zhou Di felt something was wrong, so he immediately found the number he had called and dialed it back.
The call went through, but no one answered.
Suddenly, the uneasiness in my heart emerged again, and it was several times stronger than before.
"Could something have happened?" Zhou Di called again.
This time, after ringing a dozen times, the call was connected.
Zhou Di was cheered up at that moment.
"Hey, hey, officer, why haven't you come up yet? Where are you now?"
There was no response from the other end of the phone.
That is, someone answered the phone but didn't say anything.
"Police officer?" Zhou Di called again.
On the other end of the line, I could hear breathing, heavy breathing, probably because someone was putting their mouth to the microphone.
silence.
Zhou Di felt his heart sinking in this strange silence.
He was 100% sure that something had happened.
Something must have happened to the police officers who came here, and it is possible that the murderer attacked them, but the question is, how did the murderer do it? And normally, those criminals should not be afraid of the police, so how could they dare to attack?
The phone was still connected and I could vaguely hear some noises, but it was difficult to tell what they were.
Zhou Di became more and more anxious, and he really didn't know what to do at this moment.
The other party didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to speak anymore. They just remained silent. About a minute later, there was a knock on the door.
Almost at the same time, a voice rang on the phone.
"Open the door!"
Zhou Di was so furious at this moment that he even threw his phone aside in fear.
dong dong dong~
The knocking on the door continued.
Not hurried or slow, but Zhou Di could be sure that the person knocking on the door was definitely not the police officer from before.
He must be a murderer.
Then the door definitely can't be opened.
But Zhou Di didn't dare to make a sound. At this moment, he seemed to be frozen, not daring to make any noise, but his eyes were fixed on the door.
"It's the security door. If I don't open it, people outside can't get in." Zhou Di forced himself to encourage himself.
The knocking sounded for a while, and suddenly the person outside stopped knocking. Just when Zhou Di just breathed a sigh of relief, something even more shocking happened that made his hair stand on end.
There was the sound of a key being inserted into the door lock, and then the door lock was actually twisted.
"Shit, does he have the key? Or can he pick the lock?"
At this moment, Zhou Di's heart sank to the bottom, and he felt a chill at his bones.
But, fortunately he locked the door in advance.
This way, even if someone outside has the key, they cannot open the door.
Sure enough, after twisting it a few times, the person outside tried to pull the door open, but still couldn't open it.
The other party tried several times, using more and more force, making a loud noise.
Zhou Di could only pray that the door was strong enough, and hoped that the other party would not be able to open the door and leave quickly, so he still did not dare to make any noise.
Next door, a dog barking was heard.
Apparently, the unusual noise startled the neighbor's dog.
Then, I heard the sound of the door opening next door.
Needless to say, it was the neighbor Jia Ge who heard the dog barking and the noise outside and wanted to come out to find out what was going on.
"broken!"
After Zhou Di realized this, he rushed to the door and shouted: "Brother Jia, don't come out, there is a murderer outside!"
"What? Xiao Zhou, what are you shouting for? It's only what time, why is there such a loud noise?" Brother Jia's voice came from outside the door. It was obvious that the other party had come out.
Zhou Di could only shout and ask the other party to go back.
But just as he shouted, he heard a scream outside and the barking of dogs became more urgent, but after a few seconds, the barking stopped.
Zhou Di grabbed the door handle and tried to rush out several times, but in the end he didn't muster up the courage.
It was suddenly quiet outside, but this silence was suffocating.
Zhou Di was certain that his neighbor Brother Jia was dead. He could even imagine how the murderer killed people one by one and how he easily cut off the dog's head.
Opening the door now will not help.
"Oh, right, phone call, continue to call the police."
Zhou Di hurried to pick up the phone.
But when he turned around to pick up the phone that had fallen on the ground, he happened to see a figure lying on the glass on the other side of the window, staring at him.
Zhou Di's breathing stagnated as he realized that one side of the apartment's windows faced the corridor.
But the window is locked.
Click~
The sound of breaking glass was heard, and the murderer in a raincoat outside climbed in through the window, grabbing a bloody knife and rushed towards Zhou Di.
Zhou Di woke up again, and in addition to fear, he was more angry and annoyed.
He unplugged the computer skillfully, walked to the window and looked outside.
"Breaking through the window, huh? If I had known earlier, I should have installed anti-theft nets at this place."
It's obviously too late to say this now.
After being stabbed to death three times in a row by the same murderer, the fear has reached its critical point, and now all he feels is frustration and anger.
"I still don't believe it."
Anger can suppress fear.
Just like Zhou Di now, in addition to escaping, he actually started thinking about how to retaliate.
After all, he was killed three times. Zhou Di could be said to be the person in this building who knew the murderer best.
After thinking carefully, he found that the killer was tall, at least half a head taller than him.
"I'm 1.75 meters tall, and that guy is at least 1.85 meters tall, and he's extremely strong."
The last time the other party broke into the room through the window, Zhou Di resisted. He used a baseball bat to hit the other party hard, and he tried his best.
But the opponent was able to grab the bat and take it away.
The opponent used only one hand, and I used both, but I couldn't pull it up either.
In Zhou Di's opinion, this murderer possessed extraordinary physical fitness, and was calm, cunning, and most importantly, ruthless.
"The police officers who came last time must have been killed by the other party. Police officers are all trained, and they don't respond alone. There must be at least two or even three people. If they were killed by this murderer in this situation, it only shows that this guy is not someone that ordinary people can deal with."
After realizing this, the thought of fighting back disappeared.
As I said, surviving is the most important thing.
But Zhou Di was sure that the killer was already in the building, and if he acted rashly, he would easily become the other party's target.
Several previous experiences have verified this.
I can’t go out easily, and it seems that I can only call the police.
But what should I say if I call the police?
If it doesn't hurt, several police officers will still be killed.
But if you exaggerate the matter too much, the other party may not believe it.
But at least you can try.
Zhou Di thought about it and called the police again. This time he described the situation as more than ten times more serious.
The police station took the incident very seriously, but also asked a lot of tricky questions. Zhou Di could only make up stories. He knew that the other party doubted the truth of the matter, but he didn't care.
As long as it can get the other side to deploy more police force, that's enough.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Di thought about it again and again and felt that this was not safe.
He knew that he did not have extraordinary wisdom, and his martial arts skills were just at the standard of a normal person, so if he wanted to break the impasse, he could only rely on external forces.
Exaggerating the second alarm is just one way to break the deadlock.
The smell of a burnt computer host still lingered in the room.
Zhou Di thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he finally thought of a way to make a miracle happen.
He walked to the table, opened the drawer and took out a lighter.
