Chapter 157 After the old house caught fire (7)
On the spiral staircase, the man put his hands on the handrails and leaned against his body with a lazy posture, looking at the tangled girl below with interest.
Lilith was so short that she had to lean on the armrest to stand upright in order to see what was going on underneath. She held the small gift she got during the day in one hand and the kitten-shaped piggy bank in the other. , excitement appeared in his dark eyes.
The blond man threw a coin, "I bet she will choose to go out."
Lilith caught the coin and said unconvinced: "I bet she will come to find someone for help!"
The man was not in a hurry to refute. He held his chin with one hand and waited expectantly for the next development of the story. After all, Lilith was still young, so there was not as much as he thought.
He would choose to bet Chu Xiang to go out, because according to her thinking logic, she could go outside to find help from the police, and more importantly, she could also escape from the more dangerous building.
This must be a normal decision that every normal person would make.
The current bet was not the first time that Eugene and Lilith had made a bet. It is said that small bets are pleasant, but big bets are harmful to the body. In the long and boring years, they always have to have some fun.
The tall man squatted in the corner and did not dare to interrupt. Because of his huge size, even if he was squatting, his presence seemed to be taller than ordinary people. Such a large group of figures, but he squeezed out a pitiful look.
Without paying attention, the knife in the tall man's hand fell to the ground, making a big noise.
Eugene and Lilith both looked at the tall man. The tall man trembled and hurriedly picked up the knife in his hand. He hugged the knife in his arms. His curled up body was weak, pitiful and helpless.
The further you go up the stairs, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.
The man was "forced" into a corner by the danger and could only wait quietly for the other party's dangerous knife with a cold glow to fall.
As the tall man approached step by step, a vase was thrown towards him from behind. The force was quite strong and it hit his head. Even though he was tall, it was inevitable that he would be shaken.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, one hand grabbed Eugene, who was stunned and stunned, and took him running downstairs.
It had been a long time since Eugene had tried running. That was natural. Even if he wanted to catch prey, there were thousands of ways to do it, and there was absolutely no need for such crude movements as running.
He glanced at his hand that was being held, and then at the girl in front of him who was breathing erratically. There was a rare daze in his clear and beautiful eyes.
With a few "clicks", her cell phone fell to the bottom of the stairs and was smashed into pieces.
The tall man rubbed his head and subconsciously wanted to chase after him. Lilith appeared out of nowhere and reached out to stop him. The tall man bumped into her arm and fell backwards to the ground with a "plop".
Lilith put the coins into her piggy bank and said with a smile: "I won!"
She was betting that Chu Xiang would come up for help. Although Chu Xiang didn't ask for help, she did go upstairs, so she won the bet.
Lilith was very happy. She had made so many bets with her master and this was the first time she won!
As an "old man" who has not done strenuous exercise for a long time, Eugene's current situation is not good. When he stepped down the last step, there was a slight "click", his left foot tilted, and he almost lost his balance.
Chu Xiang hurriedly supported his body, "Are you okay?"
Eugene met her eyes. There was no doubt that this ignorant human girl had a deep sense of disbelief in the way she looked at people.
——He is a big man, but he sprained his foot after just running a few steps?
Eugene was silent for a while, with a smile on his lips, "I'm fine."
At this time, even if something happened to him, he had to say it was nothing.
Chu Xiang was afraid that the people behind him would catch up, so he put one of his arms on his shoulders and helped him run forward with some difficulty. She gasped and said: "You'd better run faster, otherwise if you hold me back, I will definitely leave you behind."
Eugene said "Oh", showing regret, but said tolerantly: "I can understand every decision you make."
At the same time, there was another "click" sound from his other foot, and his expression was indescribably weird.
Chu Xiang raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Are you really okay?"
Eugene smiled, "Of course I can."
As a man, it is impossible to admit that you are not good enough.
They walked out of the apartment door together, and the night wind blew, causing goosebumps all over their bodies and numb scalp.
Outside the building, the night was dark. I don't know when a layer of thick fog appeared, which also blocked the moonlight. The diffuse fog was like black sand points, waiting for ignorant people to step in and devour them. All.
In this visibility it was impossible to find your way.
Chu Xiang raised his face, "What should I do?"
Eugene finally felt a long-lost feeling of satisfied vanity.
Look, even if this woman looked down upon him and sprained her foot twice, in the end she still wanted to beg him?
He raised his eyes and smiled as usual: "There is a phone booth there, maybe we can go there."
Chu Xiang was not familiar with this place, so she could only trust the judgment of Eugene, a local. She helped him move forward into the dark fog.
In the apartment building, people in the room shouted: "She is crazy! When she walks into the fog, she will be swallowed up until her bones are left!"
The three people stood in front of the window and had been staring downstairs for a long time. The first one who couldn't help shouting was Abel.
Andre was a little sympathetic, "It's a pity that the little beauty has to become food rations not long after she arrived."
He didn't even have time to strike up a conversation, which was a real loss.
Vicky said calmly: "You can't survive in this place without growing your brain."
It was indeed impossible to tell the direction in the fog, but Eugene was able to point out the right path intuitively. Gradually, the red phone booth appeared in front of them.
Chu Xiang helped Eugene walk in and closed the door of the phone booth. He felt a strange sense of security in this small space.
Eugene leaned against the glass window, looking a little lazy. He didn't say much. His blue eyes looked at the short girl who was making phone calls in a panic. The fear and tension overflowed from her body. Being enclosed in a small space can be regarded as a delicious experience.
When she discovered that the phone calls here always only had busy signals, her negative emotions would grow stronger in an instant. For local residents, this is the best pastime.
The voice coming from the phone was always a busy signal, without any response.
Chu Xiang frowned and hung up the phone with a serious expression, "Eugene, the call can't be reached."
Eugene was troubled, "What should I do?"
Chu Xiang thought for a while and said, "You are so weak, so just wait here while I try to go out and find someone to help."
Eugene's expression stiffened for a moment.
Just because she did have strong negative emotions coming out of her body, but it was not fear and panic, but a deep dislike for her useless companions.
