Sherry suddenly fell silent, her racing thoughts slowing. She suddenly hugged me, "Who... who is it?" My heart pounded. We looked at each other, simultaneously thinking of the gas explosion. We checked the time: it was midnight "Ding dong" The doorbell rang again, its effect as terrifying as The Ring. We instinctively backed away from the door. Sherry, who'd just toldnot to be afraid, was now filled with terror.

I knew she was just saying something to bolster her courage. I pulled her back onto the sofa."Let's pretend we didn't hear it; just ignore it." Sherry nodded, "Mm." The nod froze mid-motion. Through the glass balcony door left ajar, midnight wind rippled the white curtains like ghostly breaths. The glass door was open! Sherry's mind exploded.
I followed her gaze and also took a deep breath. "You forgot to lock it this morning! Always rushing out last- minute!" "I promise I locked it!" Z "Calm down; we're on the 31st floor! No human could scale this-what's next, Spider-Man?" Sherry was silent for two seconds."I swear I locked it! Question my pretty face, not my excellent memory!" I was silent for two seconds. So, she meant the person knocking was a "ghost," and there was another "ghost" inside? We were surrounded? "Call the police!" "I'll do it!" Sherry immediately took out her phone. Only the police could save us now.
As she dialed, the lights went out, and the doorbell rang urgently twice. I swept my phone around the room, my heart in my throat.
"Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong-" "Knock knock knock-" The doorbell rang repeatedly, now accompanied by knocking. Sherry reported the incident to the police. The dispatcher told us to stay put and not open the door; they'd arrive as soon as possible.
Hanging up, the phone's light reflected on our faces. Our terrified, pale expressions were like a horror movie scene. We sat back-to-back on the rug, using our phones to illuminate the surroundings, wary of an attack. "Is anyone there?" After about five or six minutes, besides knocking, there were voices. Had the police arrived so quickly? Impossible.

The door opened silently. Snapping out of our shock, we scrambled to the nearest bathroom.
"You..." ) 06:51 99.4% < Chapter170 The intruder only got out one word before being drowned out by our screams. We gasped for breath in the bathroom Outside seemed quiet.
Suddenly, Sherry grabbed me, pointing to a door nearby. The bathroom had a door leading to the balcony; it was slowly opening, there was nothing outside.
We swore we were materialists, we didn't believe in ghosts. But now... a chill ran down our spines. Was there any chance that we talked about that dead boy too late at night and he had cfor us? As we thought this, a face slowly appeared, a magnified handsface right before us. Our hearts almost stopped "Ladies, don't run, it's me," Cody whispered outside, trying not to scare us.
# We really wanted to beat him up! "Do you know what tit is? You freaked us out!" "Mr. Jones sentto protect you..." Cody glanced at Sherry and added the word "two."
