Chapter 12 Chapter 11 The footsteps are getting closer...

All the lights in Building 17 were turned off, and only the dark gray walls stood in front of my eyes. Xiaojian rode a mountain bike into the corridor, jumped off the seat, threw the bike on the ground, and there was a loud noise from behind when the mountain bike fell to the ground.But he can't care about his beloved mountain bike anymore, the safety of his good friend is more important. Xiao Jian ran up the dark stairs in one breath, the sound of his footsteps becoming more piercing in the quiet night.He expects that some neighbors will come out to see the sound, will any adult protect me and Yoshino?Maybe I should knock on someone's door for help.

However, at such a time, everyone must be sleeping soundly, no one will hear the noise outside, and no one will care about the life and death of others.Every door was shut tightly.Thinking of this, Xiao Jian finally ran to the fifth floor. Xiao Jian knocked on the door of Room 508. There was no response from the room. Xiaojian put his ears to the door, but there was no sound in the room. Xiaojian knocked hard on the door again. Still nothing happens. Xiaojian was so anxious that he made up his mind to wake up Yuye even if Building No. 17 was knocked down.Just as he was about to clench his fist and knock again, he suddenly felt something moving in the mailbox on the door. Xiao Jian quickly knelt on the ground to look at it. eyes are looking out.Ah, sure enough, Yoshino!

"Yuno, it's me, Ken." "Xiaojian...why is it you? At this time..." Youye's expression was no longer frightened, but full of doubts. "Open the door first and then talk." The mouth of the mailbox was suddenly shut, followed by the sound of the door opening.At the dark doorway, Yoshino stood there alone in a sweater and jeans.Xiaojian felt very strange: Why is he not wearing pajamas at this time? No wonder, the loud noise just now didn't wake up Yuye!It turned out that he didn't sleep at all.It seems that every night, Yoshino has to wait until his mother comes back before going to bed, no matter how sleepy he is!

"Yuno, listen to me..." Xiaojian closed the door casually, and locked the door again for safety's sake, then continued to tell Yuno, "Kid King is here!" "Really?" Yoshino's face turned pale instantly, but he didn't yell like last time.He bit his lip tightly, waiting for Xiaojian to continue. "Kid Wang took your mother away when she was off work." Yoshino finally couldn't help crying.Xiao Jian was very embarrassed, because Yu Ye seemed to be unable to listen to what he said, and he thought over and over again in his mind, how could he say it more tactfully.

"Your mother was knocked to the ground by him, and the king of children snatched the key. He will come here soon and take you away." "What should I do? I'm afraid...don't catch me!" Yoshino shrank into a ball in fright, as if recalling the horrors of the past.The expression on his face became more and more rigid, which was the same as the precursor of his illness that Xiaojian saw last time. "Don't worry!" Xiaojian grabbed Yoshino's shoulders and shook him vigorously, "Hurry up and run away from here, there is my mountain bike under it, and you ride to the water tank to find your mother. Do you know the sink?"

"Yeah." Yuno gradually regained his composure, and agreed in a low voice. "You don't go directly to Building 11, it would be bad if you are discovered by the king of children. You go to the north side of the apartment, go around to the east aisle, and ride a mountain bike. It will be very fast. Also, your mother was injured, and you Don't be too surprised..." "I see..." Yoshino looked into Xiaojian's eyes, "Xiaojian, what do you do? Aren't you going with me?" "I'll call the police first, and then I'll look for you immediately." Xiaojian patted Yoshino's butt, "Don't worry, the police will arrive soon and take the kid king away."

"The police won't do anything for us at all, and we were not seriously injured." Yoshino said to himself, while sitting on the ground to change his sneakers.What counts as a serious injury?Xiaojian muttered in his heart. Sending Yoshino off, Xiaojian immediately called the police. After searching for a long time, I found the telephone on the bedside table in Yuye's mother's room. Xiaojian dialed 110, and a voice came from the telephone: "Hello, this is the 110 alarm station." It was a middle-aged man who sounded very powerful. man's voice. "Yuno's mother was beaten, please hurry up and save her! The injury is very serious, and there is blood all over her body, so please drive an ambulance..."

"Hey, kid, don't panic, where is the location?" "Maple Leaf Apartments." "What number is the room in the building?" "It's not in the room, it's next to the water tank, in Building 11..." "Is it the water storage tank next to Building 11 of Maple Leaf Apartment?" He seemed to be writing something, and paused for a while, "Is it the water storage tank? Then, where did you see the scene of beating people? From your window Is it?" the policeman asked in a questioning tone. "I saw it right next to me." "Beside? Why don't you come home so late? What's your name?"

"Guangshan Xiaojian." "Xiaojian, then..." As if he was investigating something, he made a sound of flipping something, "This is not a public phone, it is your own phone, right? Can you ask your father or mother to answer the phone?" "None of them are home." "Not at home? Why?" This guy, why do you keep asking questions?Xiaojian muttered in his heart. "This is not my house, it's Yoshino's house, don't ask so many questions, come here soon!" "Police cars and ambulances are preparing to dispatch, I just want to confirm a little bit, are you a primary school student?"

"yes." "Why don't you come home in the middle of the night as a primary school student? And why did you go to someone else's house? Yoshino... right? You called us from Yoshino's house, right?" Because the King of Kids is here! Xiaojian almost wanted to yell out, but if he said that, the police would not trust him even more.Although he said that the police cars and ambulances are ready, if he thinks that Xiao Jian is lying, he may return halfway. "Uncle policeman, please, believe me!" Xiaojian desperately asked for help from his uncle on the phone, "It's really not a prank, it's absolutely true! Mother Youye was beaten so badly and shed a lot of blood. Please Believe me!"

Hearing Xiaojian's painful voice, the policeman was silent for a moment: "Oh, I see, don't cry, we'll send someone there right away..." The middle-aged man's voice became much softer. At this time, Xiaojian realized that he was already crying. After hanging up the phone, Xiaojian wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. As a boy, it would be embarrassing to cry!Even when he was beaten by Saori for doing something wrong, even if he lost the game, when he was severely punished by Guanghao and Haiyan, Xiaojian never shed tears. Now is not the time to shed tears, Xiaojian said to himself, I have to go to Yuno quickly, and Yuno must be scared to death when he sees his mother.I must be by his side... Xiaojian stood up and walked towards the door of the living room. At the moment when he was about to open the door, Xiaojian heard a voice that made his hair stand on end-it was the heavy footsteps of the child king going up the stairs! Footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and the sound was getting closer.From time to time, he heard the collision of people and the wall, probably because he was drunk and couldn't walk steadily. That pair of black sneakers, still stained with blood, was approaching Room 508 step by step.
