What Lao Chen said is right. Even if Ermeow was lying upright at the door of the second floor just to see what was going on in the house through the peephole, then how should we explain the sound when he was attracted by the sound of marbles on the ceiling?

After Lao Chen said this, I realized that maybe this was not a false alarm!

Now that Lao Chen has the key in his hand, he only needs to open the door on the second floor and we will get the answer.

However, just when I asked Lao Chen to open the door and take a look, Lao Chen instantly became frightened and his hand holding the key began to tremble!

I'm nervous too!

But if you don’t open the door and take a look, wouldn’t it be more stressful?

The only thing that comforts me is that it's daytime now, and there are three grown men here. Are you scared?

I glared at Old Chen and took the key from Old Chen's hand.

As soon as I got my hands on it, I felt that the keys were covered with greasy cold sweat, which was the cold sweat on the palms of Lao Chen's hands.

This feeling was a bit disgusting, so I had to rub it on my pants.

After opening the door, I didn't go in, but pushed the door wide open...

Standing at the door and looking inside, there was indeed no decoration inside the house. It was simply painted white. There was no furniture, not even floor tiles.

The floor is made of cement and is very smooth even without floor tiles.

However, the floor of the entire house is very clean, where did the glass marbles come from?!

"Did you hear that wrong, Ermiao?!" I could only ask.

"I...I...I..."

When Ermiao saw the clean concrete floor, she was a little dumbfounded, and she didn't know what to say with her mouth wide open.

I also know that Ermiao is a little kid, but he will never lie or joke at this juncture?

Moreover, Ermiao is even shallower than my city, and his emotions and sorrows are all written on his face. He was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat just now, so he couldn't be faking it.

I remember just now that the guy in the black hoodie said that this small building is very haunted, and that it is haunted day and night. Isn’t he an alarmist?!

It's daytime now, and even a silly and bold person like Er Meow is scared to this point. If it comes at night, will it be...

Lao Chen saw that Ermiao and I were a little timid. What he was most worried about was whether he could make money from this business.

If Ermiao and I are both cowardly, then wouldn’t this business be ruined?

Lao Chen wiped a cold sweat, smiled and said to me and Ermiao: "Oh, you two, don't scare yourselves. The sound of marbles is easy to explain. Maybe it's just a kind of physics or chemistry."

If you don’t believe this phenomenon, I’ll check it out for you online…”

When Ermiao and I heard what Lao Chen said about the physical and chemical phenomenon that sound was, we turned our heads to him and asked him with our eyes what kind of phenomenon it was.

Lao Chen directly took out his mobile phone, fiddled with it for a while, found a passage of text from the Internet, and began to read it loudly to us:

"The sound of marbles on the ceiling is caused by a type of mold that is an incomplete fungus. This type of mold will corrode industrial materials and cement. The mycelium begins to corrode into a hollow pipe in all directions. When the cement around a certain steel bar is

After the erosion reaches a certain level, it will bounce back and forth in the hollow pipe, which is the source of the marble sound..."

After listening to Lao Chen read a passage that even he himself could not understand, as if reading from a text, the sound echoed in the corridor for a while, as if it really had some kind of evil-warming effect.

Isn't there a rumor online that news broadcasts can play a role in warding off evil spirits?

I guess it may be because the correct reading voice can generate a kind of positive energy!

No matter what the sound of marbles on the floor has to do with that bullshit mycelium, after listening to Lao Chen read aloud for a while, Ermiao and I were actually not very nervous anymore.

In order to earn the 10% dividend, Lao Chen also worked hard this time. He took the remaining three keys and opened all the doors from the 2nd floor to the 5th floor, leaving them hanging.

Anyway, every room is empty. Except for the first floor, which has been renovated, the others are the same as the second floor. They have been whitewashed and the cement floor has been smoothed. There are no other fine decorations. They are just rough rooms.

After looking at all the rooms in the small brick building, there was nothing suspicious, Er Meow could only feel relieved.

Lao Chen glanced at the time, it was almost 4 p.m.

So, we got in Lao Chen’s car and headed back to the city.

When we arrived at the door of the house, it was time to eat. Lao Chen took Ermiao and I to the small restaurant where we had haggis soup before and had a good meal. Then he very diligently sent us to the door of the old community.

.

Before getting off the car, Lao Chen called me over and said: "After work tomorrow, I will communicate with the landlord. Work may start tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Xiaoma, the rest is all up to you. Take a good rest these two days...

"

After Lao Chen drove away, Ermiao and I stopped when we walked to the canteen.

Ermiao suddenly pulled my sleeve and muttered with a grimace: "Brother, I...I think I may not be suitable for this job, otherwise...I...I'd better start working in a down-to-earth manner.

Forget about the canteen..."

When I heard what he said, my nose almost turned crooked with anger!!!

If Ermiao hadn't insisted on participating, could I have accepted Lao Chen's order so happily?

My face sank, and I stared at Ermiao and shouted, "Ermiao, what do you mean? I'm so scared now that I don't dare to go, right?"

"I...I'm either a coward, or...I'm a little timid," Ermiao didn't dare to look at me, lowered his head and said cautiously, "Otherwise I won't go, just like you said,

I will open a small store step by step, and when I save enough money, I will open a small supermarket, and then I will think about getting involved in real estate..."

"Shut up, you. You insisted on asking me to recommend you to Lao Chen before. I recommended you, and now Lao Chen has agreed. You are cowarded again. How do you want me to explain to Lao Chen?"

"I...I'm just a little scared..."

"Aren't you pretty cool?" I pointed at Ermeow's nose and said, "Didn't you say before that you weren't afraid of keeping vigil at the urn storage place, and you didn't panic when brooms and feather dusters were running around the house?

…”

"No, no, it's my third uncle who is the night watchman, not me!!!"

"You promised Lao Chen everything, and I saw you didn't eat less when you were eating just now. Why didn't you tell Lao Chen yourself just now?"

"But……"

"It's not that much, but, Ermiao, if you can't say it now, it's a breach of contract. Do you understand a breach of contract? You have to pay liquidated damages. Lao Chen's real estate agency is a big company. You have the money to pay Lao Chen's company."

What?"

Ermiao completely withered after being scolded by me. Now he is not only cowardly, but also wilted.
Chapter completed!
