Chapter 645 The Floor of Life

It was cold, damp, and dark. Tang Hanlu held her mother's cell phone, feeling as helpless as a little white rabbit falling into a wolf's den.

Fear sprouted in his flesh and blood, and the roots pierced his skin. Tang Hanlu felt that what he was experiencing now was even more terrifying than the nightmare just now.

She never asked her mother about work. She only knew that her mother was very busy and had many patients who needed her care.

It was not until she looked at her mother's address book that Tang Hanlu realized that her mother's job might be somewhat special.

After dialing the number marked as ghost, Tang Hanlu felt as if the room came alive, as if she was living in someone else's organ.

The air seemed to become sticky, and every breath was a little labored. Tang Hanlu looked around and the house looked more and more unfamiliar. A human figure vaguely emerged on the black TV screen, stainless steel kitchenware and smooth dial, constantly twisting, squirming, and approaching!
Tang Hanlu's back was against the wall. She unknowingly came to the security door and her eyes happened to see the mirror placed in the bedroom.

In the mirror, there was a piece of clothing shaking by itself, as if someone reached out from the mirror and grabbed it.

"There's someone, there really is someone else at home!" Tang Hanlu was so scared that she couldn't breathe, and the crazy woman outside the door became increasingly irritable.

"Open the door! My child disappeared in the corridor! Can you help me?" The crazy woman's mental state began to become unstable. Tang Hanlu remembered that her mother had told her the story of the crazy woman. The other party was also a poor person. Without stimulation, they could still communicate.

"In the nightmare, I never opened the door. The crazy woman lost all hope and went completely crazy. If I had helped her at that time, would the situation have changed?" The figure in Tang Hanlu's mirror became clearer and clearer. Although the man named Li Xinchen reminded herself not to leave the room, this room was really too scary.

Grabbing the door handle in the dark, Tang Hanlu opened the security door a crack. She wanted to have a good talk with the crazy woman, but when she saw her terrifying appearance in a bright red dress and with dishevelled hair, she took a step back in fear.

When the crazy woman heard the door unlock, she became even more agitated. She slapped the door with her hands and dug her nails into the cracks. “Let me see the surveillance video! Let me in, please let me in!”

Roaring and frantic, Tang Hanlu's mind was now blank. She just wanted to trick the crazy woman away as soon as possible.

Thinking quickly, Tang Hanlu screamed, "It was a fake policeman in a wrinkled uniform who took your child away! He should not have gone far, he must be hiding in the community!"

"Did you see it? You saw who kidnapped my child!"

"Yes, yes." Tang Hanlu nodded repeatedly: "The guy is very tall, not very old, and speaks with an accent from another place."

The voice of the crazy woman outside the door gradually faded away, and the house and outside became quiet. Tang Hanlu stared at the time on her mobile phone and waited for a while.

"In the nightmare, the fake policeman should have appeared at this time, but he didn't come this time. Could he be entangled by the crazy woman?" It was really uneasy to stay in the room. Tang Hanlu observed through the cat's eye for a long time. After confirming that there was no one outside, she quietly opened the security door outside. The door of the master bedroom where my mother lived was inexplicably blown open by a gust of wind. The figure in the mirror disappeared. A distorted shadow quickly passed by the dial, coffee table, and all reflective objects, as if it was ready to catch Tang Hanlu.

Tang Hanlu ran out of her house by a hair's breadth. She clearly remembered the safe passage where the crazy woman hid in her nightmare: "The crazy woman hid there before, and now she is going to find the fake police, so she should leave. Taking a step back, the crazy woman could hide in the passage in her nightmare, which means she didn't run into the fake police in the safe passage, so that passage should be safe."

Taking a step forward, Tang Hanlu turned his head and looked at the elevator whose floor numbers were constantly changing. The elevator was being used at this time, as if someone was coming up from the first floor.

"Hurry up! Run downstairs and you'll be safe!"

Tang Hanlu entered the safe passage and saw a huge blood-red number on the wall - 14.

"The 14th floor, is my home on this floor? I just remember that I am exactly 14 years old this year." Tang Hanlu took a look inside the floor. There were missing person notices posted on the walls of the th floor, as well as a large number of Yongsheng Pharmaceutical's flyers and new drug trial recruitment advertisements. The most conspicuous thing was the donation box of Yongsheng Pharmaceutical's charity foundation at the entrance of the corridor.

Most of the things on the fourteenth floor were related to the Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals. Tang Hanlu had already gotten used to it, so she went straight to the thirteenth floor, where various teaching and training flyers were thrown on the ground. The column for commending outstanding owners in the building was also built on this floor, and there was an honor behind every photo.

Without bothering to look at those, Tang Hanlu continued to run down. There were several large boxes of old books piled up on the 12th floor, and no one knew who threw them away; on the 11th floor, there were various medicine bags, beauty advertisements, and all kinds of garbage discarded by some uncivilized residents; on the 10th floor, there were wreaths, as if an elder in a family had passed away. Tang Hanlu felt that the two photos of the man and the woman looked familiar, but she was busy escaping and had no time to look at them.

Tang Hanlu slowed down only after running all the way to the 9th floor. The layout of this floor was very warm, with glittering scraps of paper and ribbons scattered on the ground, and cake boxes discarded in the trash can.

"When I was nine years old, my father and mother spent an unforgettable birthday with me. Later..."

Scratching her head, Tang Hanlu also discovered the differences between each floor. She lowered her head and walked down: "Why can't I remember it?"

Tang Hanlu hurriedly jumped down two steps at a time. She grabbed the handrail of the stairs and rushed to the middle of the 9th and 8th floors. Her pupils reacted before any other organ in the body. After it contracted to the limit, blood began to rush frantically throughout her body.

Flower buds the size of baby heads were scattered on the steps of the eighth floor, and a woman in red clothes was hanged in the emergency passage!
Her body fell down, her pale toes touching the steps, she swayed slightly, her tongue stuck in her throat, her eyes bulged out of their sockets like a goldfish, and her whole face was bulging!

Tang Hanlu forgot to scream and almost bumped into the corpse due to inertia. Her hands lost strength, her legs went soft and she knelt on the ground.

"When I was eight years old, I seemed to have seen someone hanged herself. She was hanging on a blood-red door frame, and the ground was covered with blood..."

Tang Hanlu pushed the ground with her legs and moved backwards. Her hands were rubbed raw and her clothes at her elbows were torn. She used her hands and feet but couldn't get up.

"The first memory node is at the age of eight?" A strange voice sounded. Tang Hanlu saw a man walking towards this side in the corridor on the eighth floor. The man was the bad guy who bumped into her and was suspected of picking up her house key!
