Chapter Ninety-Eight: Jiangbei Inn 2

"How so?" I smiled, sitting up slightly straight.

Lu Huaimeng said lightly: "You don't need to be vigilant, I don't have the ability to do anything to you?"

Lu Huaimeng's calm performance surprised me very much, but the other party didn't seem to feel the surprise he brought us: "I've been hiding here for ten years, and I don't want to hide anymore." Whether you are good or bad, I am willing to cooperate with you. When you get what you want, please take me away, or kill me. ”

I stared at Lu Huaimeng and said, "You're not afraid of death?"

Lu Huaimeng said with a smile: "If you are confined to an empty building and get along with a group of people who don't know whether they are dead or alive for ten years, you will not care about the so-called life and death." ”

I opened the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, put it in my mouth, and casually threw the wallet-style cigarette case on the table: "You speak slowly, I listen." ”

Lu Huaimeng said: "My grandfather found a map many years ago. He insisted on believing that there was an astonishing wealth buried beneath that map. After many twists and turns, he finally found this place. At that time, the current building had already been built here. It is said to be a Japanese pseudo-building. ”

"My father thinks that since someone has already built a building here, the treasure in the map must have been dug up, and persuaded my father not to waste time. However, my father did not believe it. He took out all his savings and bought all the houses in the building one by one. If someone doesn't want to sell the property, he will come to the door again and again until he convinces the other party. ”

I heard this and interrupted the other party: "Your father killed someone, right?"

"I don't know. Lu Huaimeng shook his head and said: "My grandfather didn't say the specific process of buying a house, but I think this process should not be gentle." ”

Old man Lu is good at using witchcraft and secret arts, and he said that he had never done anything out of the ordinary, and he wouldn't believe it if he was killed.

Lu Huai dreamed that I didn't ask, so he continued: "My grandfather's purchase of a house went very smoothly at the beginning. In the end, it was stuck in the hands of a family, and that family lived at the entrance of the building. ”

"The concierge?" I passed in front of the door both times when I entered the building. The structure of the house is a typical gatehouse, with windows facing the entrance and the door facing the staircase. Although the original owner had bricked the windows, there are still traces of later repairs.

"Yes!" Lu Huaimeng said, "There is an old man living in that gatehouse. No matter how high the price my father offered, he refused to move out. Afterward...... He later died in the house. The police came to collect the corpse. Among his belongings were a contract to sell the house and a sum of cash. That house was naturally in my grandfather's name. ”

Lu Huaimeng took a deep breath and said, "My grandfather bought the entire old building as he wished, but my family's nightmare began at that time. ”

Lu Huaimeng pointed to the room: "My father has four sons and three apprentices. Together with daughters-in-law, grandchildren and other relatives, more than two dozen people live in this building. One by one, they began to disappear. Inexplicably missing. There were even people who entered the corridor with their front feet and disappeared in the blink of an eye. ”

"My grandfather was also panicked, he was a top warlock, but he couldn't explain why those people were missing. He had to go to his brother to come and help. When his brother came, he said that the problem was in the porter. The two of them dug three feet into the ground in the gatehouse, and finally dug up a plaque that read 'Jiangbei Inn'. ”

I couldn't help frowning when I heard this: "What does Jiangbei Inn mean?"

Lu Huaimeng shook his head again: "My lord has never been able to understand the meaning of 'Jiangbei Inn', so he can only guard it with his senior brother, and after they squatted together for a few days, they finally figured out the reason why our family would suddenly disappear." That's because there's always a door in the building, a door that doesn't exist. People, as long as you walk in, don't think about coming out again. ”

"Although my father has found the culprit, there is nothing he can do about him. In the end, his brother went into the door by himself to save our family. I don't know how he got in touch with my father. Every time, we were reminded to hide before the door appeared, and our whole family was like rats, hiding at the slightest disturbance, not daring to show our faces, until the wind subsided. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but interrupt the other party: "How do you know when that door will disappear?"

"Do you believe in feelings?" Lu Huaimeng asked rhetorically, "If you repeat the same thing too many times, you will have a certain feeling." I am like this, only I can feel the door in the entire Lu family, when it will appear and when it will disappear. Therefore, I am the person who has lived the longest in the Lu family. ”

Lu Huaimeng continued: "That gate is like a hunting beast. They will look for opportunities, and they will wait for opportunities. Sometimes the door only appears for a moment, and sometimes it stays outside for days. When it doesn't move, none of us dare to go out. ”

"I watched my aunt hug my sister with a high fever and beg her to take the baby out to see a doctor, even if she died. But no one allowed her to go out, and in the end she could only watch the child swallow in her arms. She's also crazy, wandering around the house like a ghost. Speaking inexplicable words, she was even more terrifying than the door. ”

"My dad finally couldn't bear the psychological pressure and hacked her to death. Hehe......" Lu Huaimeng smiled weirdly: "That was the first time I saw someone killed." Real murder. ”

Lu Huaimeng stopped at this point: "After that, the strange things in this building began to increase and more, even if most of us were warlocks, we also fell into a panic. My family is either going crazy or dying. Some people thought about fleeing, but they could escape from this building, but they couldn't escape the door. ”

"However, my grandfather also discovered one thing after witnessing others fleeing several times. That door can only appear in one place, and when it is chasing and killing others, it will not appear in the building. In the end, my father came up with a solution that was not a solution, and that was to flee with his last apprentice, his son. Try your best to live, as long as they don't die, the door will no longer enter the building to find people. ”

"Ten years ago, my father fled with most of them, leaving me and my brother, my brother. They attract the door from the outside, and we live in this building, waiting for the day when they can find a way to break through the gate. That's it. ”

Lu Huaimeng looked at me and said, "If you can find it, I know that my father must be missing." ”

Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask when he heard this: "How can you stay alive in this building?"

Lu Huaimeng smiled and said: "It's okay to have money, as long as you have money, someone will send you something, food, and use, there will be no less." Besides, that door won't go to trouble others. ”

I raised my eyes to look at Lu Huaimeng: "Didn't you say that your brother and brother are also in this building? What about them? I seem to have heard from the property that you are the only one in this building, right?"

Lu Huaimeng said: "There are four people in this building. However, only I can get out because I know when that door will come. So, in the view of the property, the building is just me. ”

I said in a deep voice: "Over the years, you have often gone to see Old Man Lu?"

"Only occasionally. Lu Huaimeng said: "My grandfather lives in a Taoist temple, and I will go to see him during the Chinese New Year, but I also have to see if the door will be found." ”

I wondered, "Didn't you say that if the door is looking for someone outside, it won't look for you?"

"Theoretically, I don't know why it occasionally appears in the building. While Lu Huaimeng was speaking, his two eyes suddenly stared at the door: "It's outside." ”

Ye Xuan and Chen Sanjinteng beside me stood up suddenly: "How do you know that there is a door outside." ”

Lu Huaimeng said quickly: "That's a feeling. I knew she was coming. ”

I looked at Lu Huaimeng and said, "Won't that door enter the house?"

Lu Huaimeng stood up, grabbed the iron rod placed in the window, and smashed it on the heater a few times before he replied: "Yes! So when the door comes, you can't go to a place where there is a door, and you can't be deceived by the things in the door, don't remember." I'm going to hide, don't call me, call me, and I won't answer. ”

After Lu Huaimeng finished speaking, he hugged his head with both hands, blocked his ears, and lowered his head to his chest. Closed his eyes tightly.

Does she mean not listening, not looking, not moving?

Lu Huaimeng wants to hide until he leaves the door?

When I looked at Lu Huaimeng, I suddenly heard a sound of the key on the door from the door, and after a while, I heard someone insert the key into the keyhole and twist it twice, and then someone said to himself from the door: "What's the matter with the key, is it broken?"

Lu Huaimeng's voice?

She opened the door with a key at the door?

I was shocked in my heart, and Ye Xuan and Chen Sanjin also looked at me together, meaning: What's the matter?

I waved my hand lightly to the two of them, walked to Lu Huaimeng's side gently, reached out and patted her arm twice: "Hey, you move, I have something to ask you!"

When my palm touched Lu Huaimeng, she obviously had a spirit, but she was holding her head and shrunk on the edge of the sofa motionless.

It wasn't until I sat on the sofa that Lu Huaimeng subconsciously hid to the side and kept a distance from the sofa as much as possible.

Lu Huaimeng didn't move, even more panicked than when she suddenly screamed. Her reaction now means that something once walked through the door into the house, touching Lu Huaimeng like I did just now, and wanted to talk to her. even sat motionless on the sofa, looking condescendingly at the top of Lu Huaimeng's head, waiting for her to have a nervous breakdown, give up resistance, or run out of the door by herself.
