"That's so exciting." someone said.

"Exciting" Lao Wang stared at his eyes: "This is because I have lived so long and have seen so much. If an ordinary person encountered someone who jumped from a building, he would have had a heart attack. I still feel tight in my chest, and when I close my eyes I feel

I think of the red pajamas in the pool of blood, dazzling in front of my eyes like this. No, I have to tell my boss that he needs to give me a raise. If this happens from time to time, I will lose ten years of my life."

"Is the deceased who jumped from the building really pregnant?" I asked.

Before Lao Wang could say anything, the old man pretended to be smart: "Do you have any documents? Is this a place you can just enter?"

I became popular right away. You don’t care if there are so many old ladies coming in. When you see me, you become energetic. No wonder, I look relatively gentle, with gold-rimmed glasses and a simple and honest face. Who would have seen it?

They all wanted to bully me. Lao Wang leaned back on his seat and drank hot tea: "Young man, go out quickly and don't pry around."

The old women next to me also sneered: "This person is really bad in society now. When something happens, it depends on whether someone dies or has a good spirit. He is just waiting to be laughed at."

Being squeezed by them, I became angry and slapped the table: "Don't talk nonsense there, I'm here to rent a house."

Those people looked at me as if they were mentally retarded. They just jumped off the building and died, and there were others who got on the pole and ran here. Could it be that the door caught their brains.

After saying this, I also regretted it. The house I rented together now has half a month to expire, and I have gotten used to it and want to renew the lease. Who knew that my brain was short-circuited for some reason, and I had to run here to rent a house.

"Really or not, don't joke with us," the old man said.

"How can I have time to tease you?" I took out my bank card and ID card from my pocket and slapped them on the table.

Lao Wang wore reading glasses, took a worn notebook from the table, opened it and searched carefully: "Everyone who wants to rent a house in this building has registered with me. Let me show you. 8th floor, 15th floor, 21st floor

There are all available rooms in the building, which one do you want to rent?”

I secretly touched Ma Danlong's address and said, "On the 21st floor. I like peace and quiet."

Lao Wang glanced at me with a strange look on his face and said nothing. He put on his sleeves in a hurry and looked businesslike. He took the landline phone and checked the number to call: "Sister Liu, someone is here to rent you a house."

My house, are you at home? Come down, it’s a young man, he’s in the reception room.”

I was very uncomfortable. I originally wanted to come over and have a look, but who knew I would actually live there? Who would be happy living in such a haunted building?

Not long after, an old woman in her fifties came down. She looked sluggish, with no blood on her face, and a sad face. She came in and asked, "Who is renting the house?"

"You are Sister Liu, let me rent you," I said.

"Young man, where are you?"

"I work nearby and want to find a house closer to live. The place I lived before was too far away and the transportation was inconvenient."

Sister Liu picked up my ID and looked at it: "Okay, come up with me and see the house first."

We took the elevator and went up. This building is really old, and it still uses the oldest elevator. There was a bad smell in the elevator. I frowned and covered my nose. Sister Liu stood in front.

, with his back to me, he couldn’t see my little movements.

None of us spoke, and the elevator was silent.

We soon arrived at the 21st floor. After exiting the elevator door, we turned a corner into a corridor, with windows facing the street on one side and the entrance to the house on the other. The corridor was empty and deserted, and there were not even the most common door items at home. Liu

The eldest sister walked in front with a hunched back, and I followed behind. Looking through the window, the 21st floor, not to mention its height, the cars below were like matchboxes, and all the living beings walking among them looked like ants.

After walking through this corridor, who knew there was another corner, which was a deep doorway with no lights and was as dark as a cave. Sister Liu continued to walk in, and I felt a little uneasy. If you live in the corridor outside,

It's just a room, but there is such a gloomy place.

Fortunately, there are sensor lights in the corridor, which light up when meeting people. However, the lights are dim and emit a dark yellow light. The corridor is like an old photo from many years ago, glowing with the yellow color of time.

Sister Liu came to a door. The door was painted with red paint, and there was actually the word "福" (福) from an unknown year and month posted on it. The dirty paper was incomplete and was placed upside down on the door. The so-called saying

blessing.

Somehow, I suddenly remembered the scene in the basement that Peng Gang mentioned. At that time, he was standing in front of the basement door, and there was such a blessing sign on the iron door.

Thinking of this, I felt a little strange and unexplainable. Before I had time to think about it, Sister Liu opened the door.

The room inside is two bedrooms and one living room. The living room is very deserted. There is a broken sofa, opposite a 30-inch LCD TV, and a dining table in the middle. I touched it with my hand and found that the tabletop was quite clean.

There is a faint smell of oil, so someone probably ate here not long ago.

The toilet is against the wall, and the two rooms are on the left and right of the toilet door, with the doors facing each other. I saw that the door of the room on the right was locked, and there was a pair of men's slippers at the door. Sister Liu opened the door on the left and walked in.

It's only twenty to thirty square meters, with a bed, a wardrobe, and a computer desk. White curtains with small petals hang on the windows. It's clean and tidy, like a girl's boudoir.

I was about to sit on the bed when I suddenly thought of something and jumped up like an electric shock: "Oh shit, Sister Liu, please don't hurt me. Is this the room where the girl who jumped from the building lived?"

Sister Liu looked at me in surprise: "Where are you thinking? No matter how wicked I am, I can't do that. The girl's name is Lin Xia. She also lives on the 21st floor, over in the corridor. But you are right, here

The previous tenant was indeed a girl. She moved away a long time ago and the house has been vacant and has not been rented out."

"Who lives across the street?" I asked.

"There is a young man opposite you, about the same age as you, and he moved in half a month ago. The young man is quite rich, and he paid half a year's rent in one go."

I blinked and asked tentatively: "What does he do?"

"Who knows what it's for. I'm not annoying. As long as you pay the rent and don't cause any trouble for me, I usually don't inquire about tenants' privacy. If you want to know, you can deal with it on your own in the future. I can tell you, that guy

He is an honest person and does not look like a troublemaker, so don't worry."

"I see the door is locked"

"It's Sunday today. I might have gone on a date with my girlfriend. That's normal. But I haven't looked at this young man several times since I've been here. Maybe he's busy with work. Okay, that's the only condition. I don't have much.

Yes, the monthly rent is five hundred. You can ask around the world if there is such a price in the city. I will tell you the truth, the reason why it is so cheap is because something happened in this building. This morning you

Saw it too."

"I always feel uncomfortable. What happened to the girl who jumped off the building?"

Sister Liu looked at me and sighed: "Xiao Liu, we are from the same family. The eldest sister is a real person and cannot cheat you. Let me tell you the truth, I rented the house where the little girl who jumped off the building lived. Just because

The police have been questioning me about this matter all morning."

"Why did she jump off the building?" I asked.

Sister Liu rolled her eyes: "Let me tell you whether you want to rent it or not. I'll let you know after renting the house."

"Rent it." I nodded. I had a hunch that I had touched the edge of the whole situation.

Sister Liu is a year-round renter, and she always carries the contract with her. We signed a rental agreement, and I paid a quarter's rent and deposit. The old women's faces lit up with joy, and then they talked about the girl who jumped off the building: "This

The girl's name is Lin Xia. She moved here last year. It seemed that she and her boyfriend went through the formalities together. I remember there was such a young man. But the two did not live together. Lin Xia has always lived here by herself. What can we say?

This little girl is so nice. She is chubby and looks very cute. She is also sensible and keeps the house clean. Sometimes when my family has something to do, she even takes the initiative to help. I never expected that such a good girl would jump off the building.

Already."

She sighed long and short.

"I heard she's pregnant, right?" I asked.

Sister Liu blinked mysteriously: "Sister, I am not a person who cares about people behind my back. She is indeed pregnant. I remember a month ago, she came to me secretly, holding a test pregnancy stick in her hand, and said that she had been menstruating for a long time.

Not coming. We have experience. We knew she was pregnant at first glance and even congratulated her. But as soon as she heard that she was pregnant, her face immediately turned ugly and she went back without saying anything."

I rubbed my forehead and thought about it carefully. Assuming that Ma Danlong does have the ability to travel between the realms of yin and yang, then the suicide accident that occurred in this building must be more or less related to him. Don't ask me why, I just

It feels like this. It's like the room suddenly smells bad. One person in the room has a bad stomach and says that it has nothing to do with him. No one would believe it.

I originally doubted whether Lin Xia's death was related to Ma Danlong, but after hearing what Sister Liu said, it seemed that there was no connection. Lin Xia's boyfriend could not be Ma Danlong. She jumped off the building while pregnant. It was entirely due to a problem with her emotional line.

It seems to have nothing to do with Ma Danlong.

I was thinking about it, and I felt a little trance. Unknowingly, it seemed that I was the only one left in the room, and Sister Liu disappeared inexplicably. There was an unspeakable coldness in the room, slowly sinking in like swamp water,

It spread all over my body. I suddenly got goosebumps all over my body, and the coldness soaked into my bones. My thinking seemed to be restricted to an extremely narrow range and I was shivering with cold. It felt like I was trapped in a nightmare.

Guess what I remembered at this time. I remembered when I interviewed Brother Peng, he described his experience of having a heart attack while swimming in the winter. He couldn't move, he was exhausted, the ice water soaked his bones, and his consciousness gradually dissipated, like being sucked into a black hole.

Same.

My upper and lower teeth chattered, and I didn't know where to burst out with energy. I shouted: "Ah." I suddenly stood up and saw Sister Liu standing in front of me. She was so scared that she covered her chest and turned pale: "

Xiao Liu, what are you doing? You scared me to death."

I looked at her, swallowing saliva, and there was cold sweat on my forehead. Ever since I saw the word "福" posted on the door, I felt something was wrong. Why did the experiences mentioned by the Peng family and his son appear in my life one by one?

The one next door to Malay is so fucking evil

I wiped my sweat and said with a smile: "Sister, I'm sorry, I fell asleep just now for some reason. I had a nightmare and woke up again."

Sister Liu seemed to see me for the first time. She patted her chest and said, "Xiao Liu, don't scare me. If I'm scared by that girl Lin Xia once, if I scare you again, I'll definitely have a heart attack."

This bitch has such a bad mouth, how can she compare me to a dead person?

She explained a few more words to me and then left. As soon as she left, my heart felt empty. Looking at the unfamiliar room, I felt like I had a weird dream.

I sat on the bed for a while, picked up my phone and called my roommate.

As soon as he heard that I was moving, he immediately ran away and scolded me on the phone for five minutes. We have a good relationship and agreed to continue renting a house together. This time I broke my promise. I have to scold me.

Xippie smiled and lent him his car for moving.

I made an appointment to move in the afternoon, and I had to go back and organize my things. I came out of the room and walked to the corridor outside. I realized that the lighting here was very poor. It was not yet noon, and the light in the corridor was a little dim.
Chapter completed!
