At the same moment.
Gaosheng City, Seven Star Lake District.
In a 270 square meter duplex residence, there are only two people at home at this large house—a child and an adult.
The child is about five years old, and he seems very energetic, showing no signs of sleepiness even though it’s late.
Sitting in the living room, his mother, Gao Ruolan, is beginning to feel sleepy, and the drama on the TV becomes a blur in front of her eyes.
She yawns and says to the child: “Xinxin, shall we go to sleep now?”
The child, called Xinxin, is holding a plush teddy bear and talking to it, dressing it up. Upon hearing his mom’s suggestion to sleep, Xinxin immediately looks unhappy.
“I want to wait for Daddy to come back. I’ll sleep when Daddy is home!”
“Sweetie, Daddy is on a business trip, he’ll be back tomorrow afternoon,” Gao Ruolan says with a smile, coaxing softly: “Let’s go to sleep, and when we wake up, Daddy will be back.”
“No!” Xinxin shakes his little head, still busy dressing the plush bear.
Gao Ruolan pretends to be angry, stands up, and begins walking upstairs: “Then I’ll go to sleep first, you stay here and play until your daddy comes back.”
She walks slowly, constantly paying attention to Xinxin’s reaction.
Sure enough, seeing that his mother no longer paid attention to him, Xinxin hugged his plush bear tightly, looked around the room, and then with a sobbing tone said: “Mommy, I want Mommy, I don’t want to play alone…”
“I’m going to sleep now, so are you going to sleep as well?” Gao Ruolan deliberately asks with her hands on her hips.
“Yes, Xinxin wants to sleep with Mommy.”
A smile appears on Gao Ruolan’s face, she goes over to pick him up in one swoop, turns off the TV, and heads upstairs along the spiral staircase.
After reaching the second floor, she turns off the light switch at the stairway landing, plunging the downstairs into darkness.
Just then, while still holding Xinxin, Gao Ruolan suddenly hears a soft thud, thud coming from downstairs, as if right under the spiral staircase.
She immediately looks down, but since it is pitch black below, she can’t see anything.
With one arm holding Xinxin and another reaching for the light switch downstairs, she intends to turn the light back on.
“It was the ball,” Xinxin suddenly says.
Gao Ruolan pauses, and asks: “Are you sure it was the sound of the ball just now?”
“Uh-huh,” Xinxin nods vigorously.
Gao Ruolan withdraws her hand, thinking it must have been the ball they often play with, which must have rolled off the sofa earlier unnoticed.
Holding Xinxin, she turns and heads to the master bedroom. After entering, she turns on the light, locks the bedroom door out of habit, and padlocks it.
She takes Xinxin to the bathroom to wash up clean, soaks his little feet in warm water until they turn rosy, then dries them off and lifts Xinxin onto the bed in the bedroom.
She helps him out of his clothes, lets Xinxin lie on the bed, tucks him in, turns on the soft light on the bedside, and softly says: “Xinxin, be good, fall asleep now, Mommy will come after washing her face. Maybe you’ll be asleep when Mommy arrives!”
Xinxin obediently nods his head, burrows under the blanket leaving only his head out, staring intently at Gao Ruolan.
Gao Ruolan bends down, kisses him on his forehead, tucks him in snugly, then turns to head to the bathroom,
She takes several minutes to hastily remove her makeup before beginning to wash up.
While brushing her teeth, she seems to hear someone talking and a muffled “thud, thud, thud” sound.
Due to the loud noise coming from her mouth at this moment, the sound is barely audible, Gao Ruolan pauses slightly, stops brushing her teeth, and freezes in place.
A moment later, no other sounds come.
She assumes she must have misheard and continues brushing her teeth, and after rinsing her mouth, thud, thud, thud, three soft knocks are heard again.
This time, she hears it loud and clear, the sound comes from outside the bedroom.
Gao Ruolan raises her eyebrow, takes a face towel, and wipes her mouth while stepping out of the bathroom.
Just as she reaches the door of the master bedroom, close to the bathroom, the door she had locked from the inside begins to knock again with three sounds, thud, thud, thud!
Who is knocking outside?
Gao Ruolan shivers in fear, goosebumps all over her body, she doesn’t make a sound but immediately clamps her mouth shut, not daring to make any noise, and hastily walks toward the big bed.
“Mommy—”
Suddenly, the voice of her son, Xinxin, comes from outside the door.
Gao Ruolan shudders, turns her head to look at the locked bedroom door, she not only keeps her lips tightly shut without responding, but even her breath is held.
“Mommy—”
Outside, Xinxin’s knocking and shouting are heard again, his voice trembling, seemingly frightened, conveying a sense of helplessness.
Gao Ruolan comes to her senses, immediately takes a few steps forward, then looks towards the big bed and sees that it is indeed empty—her son is gone.
She turns back around, looking at the door again.
At this moment, the knocking outside the door resumes, and Xinxin’s voice comes through: “Mommy, open the door, I’m scared!”
“Xinxin, how… how did you get outside?” Gao Ruolan wants to open the door, but something in her mind is stopping her.
She must figure it out first!
“Mommy—”
At the same moment, from under the big bed behind her, another familiar voice suddenly emerges.
Judging from the voice, it also sounds like Xinxin.
Gao Ruolan turns around again, her expression filled with terror, her gaze directed under the bed, but it is pitch black under there, she can see nothing.
