chapter 7
The lights in the corridor went out.
The hallway was plunged into darkness once again.
I continued to lean against the door, observing for a while. After making sure there was nothing unusual, I finally returned to my room.
The residential complex was very quiet at night.
From time to time, I could hear the faint cries of cats.
Thinking of the news that popped up earlier in the evening, all my sleepiness vanished.
I stood by the window with a glass of milk in my hand.
There was an iron gate at the entrance of the building, and you needed to swipe a card to get in or out.
The sound of the iron gate opening and closing was very loud.
But I stood by the window for a long time and never heard the sound of the gate closing.
Could it be that the Property Management staff hadn’t left yet?
But no one lived on the sixth floor.
Even if he knocked on every door on the sixth floor and then went down to the first floor,
it wouldn’t take that long.
Very soon,
a terrifying thought appeared in my mind.
The man who claimed to be from Property Management was still inside our building.
