The sound of gongs and drums came from the other side of the corridor.
At present, there is a group of paper figures, colorful and colorful, with white eyes drawn by the pen and two puffs of red powder on their pale faces.
The ones blowing the trumpets were several blue paper figures in extremely bright clothes.
The ones playing the gongs and drums were several paper figures wearing blood-red clothes.
All the paper figures had weird smiles on their faces.
Behind the paper figure, several paper horses pull a red coffin.
The lid of the coffin was opened, and a woman wearing a red wedding dress and a red hijab was crying, saying she was getting married.
It's scary to see.
Sister Hong, wearing black clothes and a black hat, stood out of place next to the bride's coffin, her face unclear.
A group of wedding brides came noisily from the corridor to the lobby of the Red Building with a roar of gongs and drums.
Liu Hou and Li Xiu hid in the stairwell, closing the door with only a small crack exposed.
Just through this small slit, the two of them could see clearly.
These earthbound spirits actually got married today.
Who wants a wife?
Who is the bride?
So weird!
Li Xiu desperately covered her mouth and nose, fearing that she would make a sound and be heard by the ghosts sending her off.
Liu Hou quickly took a picture of himself and Li Xiu.
There are yin talismans that can cover the yang energy of living people.
You won't be discovered by ghosts for the time being.
It wasn't until the group of people sending them away and taking the elevator upstairs that Liu Hou and Li Xiucai heaved a sigh of relief.
They sneaked out and watched the elevator stop on the fifth floor.
"Second brother, how can a ghost get married?"
Li Xiu was very frightened.
"This group of earth-bound spirits who have been trapped for more than twenty years all think that they are still alive, so getting married is not surprising."
After Liu Hou said something, he asked: "You have been the administrator here for more than 20 days. Do you know who lives on the fifth floor?"
"Wait a moment, there is a list of residents in the administrator's office."
Li Xiu couldn't remember it, so he quickly ran to the administrator's room and took out the list.
After looking through the list, he answered: "There is only one family living on the fifth floor. It is said that it is a rich man. He bought the entire house and opened it up for living.
Tsk, tsk, if five sets of large flat floors are opened, how big will it be?
There are five members of this family living together. Their surname is Lou, and the head of the household is Lou Shengkang.
Lou Shengkang has parents in their eighties and a son in his twenties, who is said to be a fool."
"That means the silly son of the Lou family on the fifth floor is getting married."
Liu Hou touched his chin: "Forget it, let's not worry so much. Follow the stairwell to the top of the building, find the door and go out directly."
"OK."
Li Xiu was eager to leave as soon as possible.
He felt that his brain had been kicked by a donkey in the past twenty days or so. How could he come to work in this damn place?
Seeing that Liu Hou was about to take the stairwell, he tugged at Liu Hou's clothes again: "Boy, it would be faster if we took the elevator. It's too dangerous to take the stairwell."
Liu Hou glared at him: "Boss, you are so full of soy milk. This red building has been abandoned for 20 years. It has no water or electricity, and it was burned by fire. The elevator has long been out of use."
"But those paper figures just dragged the coffin into the elevator. Can't the elevator still be used?"
Li Xiu said in confusion.
Liu Hou slapped his forehead: "Boss, have you ever taken the elevator in the Red Building in the past twenty days?"
"Not really. Sister Hong asked me to climb the stairs while inspecting the Red Building."
Li Xiu shook his head.
"That's right. Can the elevator used by the dead be the same as that of the living? These earthbound spirits lived in the past twenty years ago, before the Red Building burned down.
Of course they can take the elevator.
Because this elevator is just their dying memory.
What we see is also their memory.
If we really stepped into the elevator, we two brothers would definitely miss the mark and fall into the elevator shaft."
Li Xiu was startled and her mouth opened wide.
I feel very happy. Fortunately, he has cherished this high salary for more than 20 days and has not been mean or taken the elevator because he was afraid of being tired.
Otherwise, I don’t even know how I will die.
The two of them climbed up the stairwell. After climbing for a while, Li Xiu felt that she had overlooked something.
Just before stepping onto the fifth floor, he finally remembered.
"Boy, we can't get to the sixth floor smoothly from the stairwell."
Li Xiu suddenly exclaimed.
"Why?"
Liu Hou asked in surprise.
"Didn't I just say that? The wealthy man on the fifth floor opened up the entire fifth floor. He even tore down the door and wall of the stairwell, and all the common area became his entrance..."
Li Xiu said in horror: "If you want to go from the stairwell to the sixth floor, you will definitely pass through the Lou family on the fifth floor. But isn't the Lou family holding a happy event?"
Liu Hou felt half-hearted.
He originally wanted to take Li Xiushen to the roof of the building without anyone noticing. It seemed that he would inevitably meet the Lou family who was getting married to a ghost.
Sure enough, when I arrived at the fifth floor, I saw that the stairs leading to the sixth floor were blocked.
What sealed the stairs were piles of gloomy white skeletons, all covered with criss-crossing bone spurs.
There is a sign posted on it.
The sign reads:
The Lou family is getting married, so please forgive me for any inconvenience.
The corridor is closed today, please take the elevator to go around.
Damn it, the Lou family has no quality!
Liu Hou smiled bitterly.
I originally thought I could hide it and sneaked up the stairs to the sixth floor.
Unexpectedly, the Lou family came directly to the Quality Third Company and even sealed the stairs.
They both can't take the elevator.
How to fix it?
The huge stairwell on the fifth floor is decorated with lights and colorful decorations in an antique style. If you don't pay attention, you won't think that you are in a high-rise building.
You would think it was a mansion belonging to a wealthy family.
There are mahogany furniture everywhere and white lanterns hanging around.
A gust of cold wind blew, and the white lantern swayed slightly.
Even the lights swayed together, which was very strange.
The noise sounded on the fifth floor, and it was extremely lively.
There were more than a dozen large tables filled with ghosts, and on the stage opposite, several actors were singing.
The ghosts watched with great interest and cheered from time to time.
There are cold dishes on the table, but there are some dry goods such as eyeballs, lizards, mice, etc.
On each cold plate, there is an incense stick.
The lit incense curled up and the smoke turned out to be black.
A five-year-old kid was bored watching a play and poked an eyeball with chopsticks. The eyeball was pierced, bleeding, and dropped like a balloon.
The little ghost stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and relished the taste.
A few old ghosts came closer to the incense of the cold dishes, greedily inhaling the smoke from the fireworks.
The scene on the fifth floor is psychedelic, eerie and chilling.
Like a ghost.
No, this is obviously a ghost
Li Xiu kept giving Liu Hou a cold shoulder and said, "Second brother, what should we do? There are so many ghosts, can you beat them?"
"Only those who have been beaten will find ghosts."
Liu Hou shook his head.
There are no less than fifty ghosts in this building, and their strength is comparable to that of the old ghosts on the third floor. Moreover, the earth-bound spirits in the red building cannot be killed or saved.
Without the death manual in You Yuwei's hand, he wouldn't be able to handle anything.
Forget it, let’s leave the fifth floor first and go to the fourth floor to make a long-term plan.
Since the fifth floor is so lively, it proves that You Yuwei is probably still struggling on the fourth floor.
Let’s meet up with You Yuwei first.
Thinking of Liu Hou, he took Li Xiu and prepared to sneak downstairs.
But at this moment, two pale and red faces suddenly blocked the way for the two of them to go downstairs.
"Since the two guests are here, please show your respect and attend our young master's wedding!"
It turned out to be two people stuck in paper.
As soon as Zhizhiren finished speaking, the entire fifth floor fell silent.
Chapter completed!
