Chapter 1337: Locked room, loud noise
"What was that?" Rong Wei woke up and questioned. His eyes warily looked around the room but he did not find anything. However, he was sure that he heard something just now!
Captain Lei also stepped down from his bed. He was looking at the direction from where the sound came from but there was nothing but a wall! Did the sound come from the room next door?
"It must be the kids," Yun Yi yawned and then turned to the other side of the bed. He said, "There is no need for you to worry." Yan Shan agreed with him, the children living in the room next to them must have dropped something on the floor. It was three in the morning, it was normal to drop something while moving in the darkness.
There was no need to worry.
However, it turned out that there were indeed a lot of reasons for worrying. Because the one thud that echoed in their room once, soon turned into slow repeated knocks on the wall. That wasn't all, there were scratching sounds followed by low groans. It was terrifying in the silence of the night.
"What ...what is going on!?" Rong Wei could no longer ignore the thuds and screeching noises. It was as if something crazy was locked in that room!
Even Yun Yi couldn't sit still. He slid down the bed and said to the rest, "I will go and see what is going on. Stay where you are."
With that, he walked out of the room, without waiting for the others to speak.
Captain Lei, on the other hand, looked at Rong Wei. The two of them exchanged a look feeling a bit weird. Yan Shan on the other hand couldn't help but remark, "Just now... when we came... wasn't that door locked?"
His words jolted a memory in the heads of Rong Wei and Captain Lei. That was right, the room next to them was locked. So who was inside?
However, before she could make a call her body suddenly fell to the ground. She couldn't even move her finger, she stared at Song Yan before asking, "W..What did you do?"
Song Yan smiled as she slowly crouched down and sat on her heels. She cupped her cheek and stated, "Nothing. Since I cannot have you call the police, I immobilized you for a second. However, don't worry as long as you answer my questions you will be fine."
"And if I don't answer?" Director Dai asked as she looked at Song Yan nervously. She could not understand how she provoked this woman!
Hearing her question Song Yan opened her eyes and then smiled at the woman before saying, "If you don't then I will leave you like this. Maybe you will get better in a day or two?"
Of course, she was only scaring the woman as the talisman would lose its power in an hour at most. She did not and could not harm humans as per the heavenly law.
However, Director Dai thought that Song Yan was speaking the truth. Her eyes widened and she said to Song Yan, "I will answer whatever you want to know. Just let me go."
"Well, wouldn't that depend on you? The sooner you answer my questions, the sooner I will get out of your hair."
