Weird story about rules: I can see hidden hints

Chapter 7 Who Opened the Door
The blood-red eyes flashed away, as fast as an illusion, but Gu Sheng knew that it was not, and what he definitely saw was a real image.

His heart was beating wildly, and the face reflected in the elevator door was horribly pale, even scarier than Sakura's geisha.

Gu Sheng's finger pressed firmly on the door button, not daring to let go at all. The time just now was too short, and there was no chance for the omniscient pupil to activate, so there was no way to know what kind of eye it was.

He waited until the elevator reached the first floor and saw light coming from outside through the crack in the elevator door, and then he calmed down a little.

Although he was startled just now, Gu Sheng always felt that those eyes were familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere, but he couldn't remember them.

Fat Orange in his arms was so stiff that he looked like a bamboo pole from head to tail.

Gu Sheng reluctantly comforted Fat Orange for a few times, and then he took the time to walk to the front desk. He didn't have much time, and there were important things to do at twelve o'clock.

"Guest...how can I help you?" A calm voice sounded in Gu Sheng's ears.

He shivered all over and took two steps back suddenly, only to see clearly that the person speaking was a security guard.

The security guard stood there quietly, the shadow of the brim of his hat covering the upper half of his face, leaving only a bit of his glasses visible.

"You...don't you make any noise when you walk? You're so scary..." Gu Sheng shouted.

The security guard was not annoyed. He rolled his eyes and continued to answer in a calm voice: "Does the guest need my service?"

Gu Sheng waved his hand, took two quick steps to get rid of the security guard, and came to the front desk. Miss Xiao Qin still looked the same as she did in the morning, even her movements did not change.

"What does the guest need?" Xiao Qin said with a smile.

"I……"

This situation of having to buy even though he knew it would cost a lot made Gu Sheng hesitate, "Let me ask, how do you sell chicken legs?"

The smile on Xiaoqin's face seemed to come alive, "Chicken legs come every five years."

"What? Five years...what five years?" Gu Sheng had some bad omens in his heart.

"Of course it's about longevity. We have clearly marked prices here." Xiao Qin pointed to the price list in front of her and said, "Meat requires longevity, and pasta requires physical strength."

Gu Sheng's throat trembled. Now he finally knew what vitality was. It was reflected in people's lifespan.

"Guest, do you still need something? It's twelve o'clock, we will be closing soon." Xiaoqin looked at the hesitant Gu Sheng, and there was a hint of teasing in her smile.

Gu Sheng clenched his fists and said fiercely: "Bring me two!"

Although his heart ached with pain, Gu Sheng did not lose his mind. With Zhou Yingying's appearance this afternoon, one person might not be enough.

"I'm sorry, guest. We only have one item per person per day here. How about you choose other food?" Xiao Qin said slowly.

Gu Sheng glanced at the clock in the hall and said anxiously: "Then take one, hurry up!"

When he took the food from Xiaoqin's hand, Gu Sheng felt that something was missing from his body, but it was not obvious.

Without thinking too much, he grabbed the chicken legs, got on the elevator and quickly headed towards the fourth floor.

The moment the elevator opened, a ball of hair appeared on the ground in front of Gu Sheng, spread out in a fan shape, as if someone was lying on the ground with their hair spread out.

"Your sister!" Gu Sheng cursed secretly, and ran towards the room without caring about his eyes and hair.

In the silent corridor, the sound of heavy footsteps suddenly echoed, accompanied by faint screams.

"Open the door, open the door for me quickly..." Gu Sheng slammed the door vigorously.

The cold feeling around him became more and more severe, the air around him seemed to be solidified, and the vague and non-existent screams became more and more real.

The door opened, revealing Zhou Yingying's empty eyes.

Gu Sheng couldn't care less, so he stuffed the chicken legs into Zhou Yingying's hands, knocked her away, took the blood-red wedding dress at the door, and threw it outside with all his strength. "Click!"

The clock on the wall chimed softly, and the hour and minute hands overlapped at the highest point.

It was twelve midnight.

Gu Sheng gasped for air, his body trembling due to excessive tension. He leaned against the door and slowly collapsed to the ground.

It was just a second before he would break the rules.

Zhou Yingying turned a blind eye to his performance, crunching and tearing the chicken legs, as if sleepwalking, and lay back on the bed.

After a long while, Gu Sheng stood up from the darkness, stumbled into the bathroom, washed his face, and calmed himself down. His originally clear eyes were no better than the bloody ones in the mirror just now.

"Meow meow meow!"

The rapid meowing of a cat startled Gu Sheng from the bathroom.

He saw Fat Orange standing at the end of the bed, baring his teeth and screaming toward the door, his voice extremely harsh.

Before Gu Sheng had time to ask what happened, the door was suddenly knocked, and the sound of "dong dong dong" was very rhythmic.

Fat Orange stopped screaming, and Gu Sheng froze in place.

He didn't know what was outside, but it was definitely not a human being. How could anyone knock on the door like this at night? Besides, the only resident on this floor was Chen Tao next door.

The person who knocked on the door knocked slowly for two or three minutes, and then the sound of shuffling footsteps came from outside.

Strangely enough, there was a loud knock on the door, but Zhou Yingying didn't seem to hear it and was still asleep.

Gu Sheng slowly moved to the end of the bed, picked up Fat Orange and smoothed its fur, then picked up the water glass next to him, keeping a careful eye on it.

"Boom boom boom!"

The knock on the door rang again, but Gu Sheng heard it clearly. It came from Liu Hang's room next door. He knew there was no one next door, so he waited patiently, fearing that the knocker would come back.

"Crack...crunch!"

Gu Sheng's eyes suddenly widened, his hand holding the water glass tightened suddenly, and his body froze in place, not daring to move at all.

This is...the sound of the door opening.

Isn’t Liu Hang from next door gone?Why is there still a sound of opening the door?

Could it be that something outside has a universal key card?
Gu Sheng thought like this, his eyes constantly patrolling the room, planning to find a new self-defense weapon.

"Chi...ka...chi!"

Gu Sheng's self-defense weapon was not found, but he heard the sound of a fierce fight, accompanied by sharp and suppressed roars.

The battle didn't last long, and there was no movement in just a few minutes. There was only deathly silence in the whole room, and the sound of two people and a cat breathing.

Gu Sheng did not dare to let down his guard and listened carefully, but did not notice that Zhou Yingying next to him opened her eyes at some point and a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth.

More than half an hour passed before Gu Sheng slowly let down his guard. There was still no sound from outside.

Gu Sheng was lying on the bed, staring, constantly thinking about what had just happened in his mind, trying to find any clues from it.

Whose blood eyes are they?Who is knocking on the door?Who is the person in the next room?
Thinking like this, Gu Sheng turned his head and looked at Zhou Yingying who was sleeping soundly. It seemed that she was also very abnormal tonight.
