Two bright lights suddenly shot out from the dark corridor, and the next second, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared at the entrance of the stairs.
Xia Yuxi held a powerful flashlight, kept a distance from Bai Mo, and said casually: "Because I can see that you are also interested in this matter."
She said this, but she had another thought in her heart: "This guy is still a bit suspicious, I need to find a chance to test it out."
"By the way, what's with the yellow mud on your shoulder?" She shined the flashlight on Bai Mo's shoulder.
"Yellow mud?" Bai Mo was stunned, and then he realized that there was indeed a stain on his left shoulder. He wiped it with paper and frowned, "I don't remember where I got this stuff."
A certain thought flashed away, and he suddenly remembered that when he went upstairs, his left shoulder seemed to have hit something...
Could it be...that what I bumped into was the so-called corpse?
Quickly putting aside this terrible thought, he thought: "It must have been when I peeked into your room just now, I accidentally rubbed against the door..."
As if he suddenly remembered something, his voice suddenly stopped, and the air suddenly became quiet.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Haha," after a short silence, Bai Mo changed the subject with a smile, "By the way, the lights in your apartment are not on. I see there is electricity in your house."
"I don't know, there must be something wrong." Xia Yuxi curled her lips and suddenly said solemnly, "By the way... have you noticed that the apartment is too quiet?"
The two of them had already moved from the fourth floor to the seventh floor. They saw muddy footprints at the door of many rooms, but not every room had footprints. Knocking on the door seemed to be random and without any rules.
"Indeed, it stands to reason that if you hear a knock on the door, the residents will more or less open the door and take a look."
Bai Mo climbed up from the first floor, so he was naturally more aware of what was wrong.
Xia Yuxi found it a bit exciting. She has had a heart eager for adventure since she was a child, but she is also very sensible and knows clearly which material she belongs to.
With her fighting power, entering the restricted area will only lead to death.
Although she knew this, Xia Yuxi still paid close attention to the information about restricted areas and monsters, and her adventurous spirit did not die. Otherwise, she would not go to Lanbei Street to join in the fun, let alone spend a lot of money to buy special pistols and bullets.
Now, something suspected to involve a strange supernatural event occurred in the apartment, and the danger didn't seem to be high. She actually ran out just to have a good time.
but……
She looked at the guy named Bai Mo next to her and thought that although this guy was an ordinary person, he was obviously very courageous and dared to do such a thing.
and……
This guy is so natural at pretending to be crazy and stupid. When faced with any abnormality, he can analyze it according to common sense and never think from an extraordinary perspective.
He is simply a model pacesetter who wholeheartedly abides by the new regulations of the Prohibition Eradication Bureau.
The two of them walked all the way to the ninth floor, and saw a lot of footprints along the way, but they never saw anyone going out to investigate, nor did they hear any more knocking on the door.
No exception.
Although Xia Yuxi was relieved, she was a little disappointed. It seemed that her apartment exploration trip was about to end...
Fortunately, her little satchel contained a lot of things.
Just when the two were about to go downstairs, the lights in the corridor suddenly turned on.
The warm light spread up and down, making the entire corridor look like daylight, eliminating all the fears of the two of them.
Bai Mo said thoughtfully: "There should be something wrong with the lights in the corridor. It has been fixed now."
Xia Yuxi was not convinced and asked him why some kind of force couldn't cover the apartment, making it impossible to turn on the lights in the corridor.
But when she thought of the rules of the Ban Bureau, she had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
The two were about to go downstairs when the door to the room on the right suddenly opened a gap.
A middle-aged man stuck out half his head and looked at Bai Mo warily: "Were you knocking on the door just now?"
"It's not us." Bai Mo stopped and explained, "We just went upstairs to have a look because we were curious about who was knocking on the door."
"What do you want to do?" The man seemed unable to hear him.
Bai Mo was stunned: "Uncle, I told you, we are not the ones knocking on the door."
The man looked at the two of them with wide eyes, a look of suspicion on his face.
"Then get out of here! Get out as far away as possible!"
"Neuropathy."
Xia Yuxi felt angry and didn't bother to argue with this inexplicable family member, so she quickly went downstairs.
"What are you doing?" Bai Mo ignored the middle-aged man and followed him quickly.
"go home!"
"The elevator seems to be working. Your home is on the fourth floor. Why don't you take the elevator?"
After a moment of silence, Xia Yuxi's voice came from downstairs: "I'm happy!"
…
The voices of the two people gradually faded away. The middle-aged man hid half of his head behind the door, stood there for a moment, then entered the room and closed the door.
Not long after, a woman came down from upstairs.
"Did you knock on the door just now?"
The sudden questioning startled the woman. She turned her head and saw a middle-aged man opening the door, sticking half of his head out from behind the door, and looking at herself.
"not me."
The woman was slightly startled, smiled and shook her head. Just as she was about to go downstairs, she heard the man continue to ask: "What do you want to do?"
The woman paused, smiled gently, and explained: "You misunderstood, I didn't want to do anything, and I never knocked on your door."
"Then get out of here!" The man yelled with eyes wide open.
The smile on the woman's face disappeared. This man was obviously deliberately looking for trouble and was about to argue with the other party, but he suddenly covered his mouth and turned pale with shock.
I saw the man's head hiding behind the door suddenly trembled, and he actually fell directly from the air, rolled twice on the ground, and rolled to the woman's feet.
He seemed unaware of his own abnormality, staring at the woman with his dead fish-like eyes and opening and closing his lips.
"Get as far away as possible!"
…
When Bai Mo left the apartment, the rain had lightened up a lot, and he looked back.
Although this woman named Xia Yuxi has a bad temper, she is still a good person.
Not only did I bring him a flashlight when I went out, but I also gave him an umbrella after learning that it was raining outside.
In the woman's words, she had plenty of these things, and they didn't cost much anyway.
She seemed to be a rich woman, not a vicious criminal... Bai Mo was not sure for a moment whether the sound in the room was the sound of bullets being loaded.
However, without evidence, he certainly cannot call the police casually.
After looking at the sky, he walked into the rain curtain holding an umbrella.
Not long after, Chen Shi walked out of the apartment expressionlessly, watched Bai Mo leave, and made a phone call.
"The target has left the Sunshine Apartment, and no abnormalities were found during the process."
"In addition, a corpse of a middle-aged man stained with yellow mud did appear in the Sunshine Apartment. The characteristics are as follows: short hair, Chinese character face, wearing a blue shirt... It is suspected of knocking on the doors of many residents, and there are footprints on the door.
,unclear meaning."
"Has the body been disposed of?"
"It escaped, sorry."
Chen Shi's expression was cold, but there was self-blame in his tone, "Its ability to move is beyond my understanding. By the way, the corpse once passed by the target, but the target did not notice it."
Lu Zhan spoke a little faster and asked, "You mean, after seeing the target, the body was still moving, right?"
"Yes."
"I understand. This matter is not simple. I can't blame you. I will come personally later."
After a pause, Lu Zhan continued, "Now there is another matter that needs you to deal with. The bureau received a report that a body appeared in Room 905 of Sunshine Apartment..."
"Except that there is no yellow mud on its body, its characteristics... are very similar to the corpse you described."
