[BL] I Wasn't Born Lucky (Unlimited Flow)

Chapter 259

The old TV in the room was playing an outdated idol drama. The hero held the heroine and refused to let her go, expressing his thoughts affectionately. Xiao Li sat cross-legged on the sofa and Shen Chenzhi hugged him from behind.

The doll was hanging from the withered hanging orchid in the room. Tan Li was holding the remote control and changed channels from time to time. However, they were all variety shows and dramas from five years ago. There wasn't the latest hot show.

Outside the window, there were changes in the light and dark of the sky but the window couldn't be opened. The entire building was fixed at a point in time. Dust flew in the light like a group of moths that didn't know life or death.

Xiao Li was actually a bit sleepy. The speed at which his upper and lower eyelids met was significantly increased. Shen Chenzhi lowered his head and kissed Xiao Li's eyelids. "Go to bed?"

Xiao Li shook his head. He grasped the last trace of clarity in his mind and held the other person's arm to change to a sitting posture. He left the embrace of the young man behind him and gradually woke up.

The next-door neighbours had been quiet for a long time but Xiao Li always felt that something was going to happen. It was his intuition that had been exercised throughout the year.

Around the time when the clock pointed to midnight, the change suddenly emerged. There was the sound of a heavy object being dragged next door. The sound clearly entered his ears like the wall blocking them wasn't made of cement but a piece of thin paper. It didn't provide any sound insulation.

Xiao Li could even make up what the person next door was doing. It could be a man or a woman dragging something forward. The location was close to the door. Then...

The dragging sound stopped abruptly and was replaced by a chopping sound. It was a dull sound one after another. Occasionally, the sharp weapon used to chop something would get stuck. Then the next second, the sound became louder like the person chopping the object had increased their strength.

The person next door chopped for a long time. If it was a piece of meat then it should've been turned into mince.

It stood to reason that the chopping sound was so loud the baby next door should've awakened. Yet at this time, the baby was completely silent. There was only this chopping sound and not of the baby crying. Was it dead or fainted?

If this was the memory of the unnamed female corpse, was she the one killed and her husband was chopping things? So what type of role did the 'neighbours' play, listening to the sound coming from next door every night...

Xiao Li listened quietly before turning his head to look at the door. He opened the door and found Wang Huai and the others standing there.

Due to the poor soundproofing, they all tacitly made no sound. Wang Huai followed Xiao Li's gaze and typed in his mobile phone before raising it. [The sound insulation is too bad. All of us were staying upstairs and we heard it clearly.]

Xiao Li read the words on Wang Huai's phone and didn't respond. He paused for three seconds before going straight next door and knocking. "Is anyone there?"

He moved too abruptly, especially in this quiet night. Gong Mingming hadn't worked with him too much and was startled. The moment there was a knock on the door, the sound in the house stopped. It brought an invisible sense of deterrence and people couldn't help thinking of the scene inside:

A person holding a kitchen knife heard a knock on the door. The kitchen knife froze in the air and they slowly turned their head...

"Is there anyone?" Xiao Li saw there was no reply and knocked again.
