In the prosperous land of Yanjing, there are also dark places.

This is the old city in the past, the buildings are all dilapidated, at a glance it is the product of the 80 years of the last century, and even some of the tube buildings in the past, once upon a time, the people who lived here were envied, but now, the world has changed, people have lived here to be ashamed.

With the modernization of the country, the construction area of the city is getting larger and larger, and many people in the old city have moved away, especially those young people, all of whom have gone to the new place to buy a house and settle down, and only some lonely and widowed old people who have difficulty moving in the old city have stayed behind.

It's hard to imagine that in a crowded city like Yanjing, there is such a place, there are no people on the street, and the supermarket is cold and cold, and few people patronize it all day long.

There is a detached house in the northernmost part of the old town, which is very conspicuous, because there are no other buildings around the house, so it looks particularly eye-catching.

Today's driver Master Zhang just had lunch, at the intersection of the first guest, he is a taxi, Yanjing taxi drivers like to chat with people, this seems to be a common cognition, Master Zhang is also a person who likes to chat, but after he saw the woman in the car, he was not too embarrassed to speak.

It's not that Master Zhang is shy, he is a man of dozens of years, and this thing is not enough, but the subtle movements of the woman's gestures and the cold smile on her face make people feel that they have no confidence in their hearts.

It's a strange feeling, maybe this is the charm of this woman, after seeing it, it always makes people feel ashamed of themselves.

The place where women want to go is the old city, Master Zhang has not pulled guests there for a long time, the old city is occupied by some old men and old ladies, those people are reluctant to pay for rent, only those young people who occasionally go back to the old city to see their families, will choose to take a taxi.

"Girl, why did you come here? are you from your hometown living here?" Master Zhang thought for a moment and mustered up the courage to ask.

Hearing the voice, the woman who was staring out the window in a daze withdrew her gaze and said softly, "No, my family doesn't live here." ”

"Oh?" Master Zhang asked suspiciously, "Girl, what are you doing here, it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient to say, I just want to remind you to pay attention to safety here." ”

"Convenient, I'm here to collect debts. The woman whispered, "What's going on here, why do you say you're going to be safe here?"

Master Zhang glanced at the woman in the rearview mirror and said, "Girl, don't you know, this old town is not very clean." ”

"What's that saying?"

"I've heard from former passengers, too. Master Zhang smiled and said proudly: "They all say that in this old city, it is often haunted at night, and some people say that they have seen it with their own eyes, but how to say this kind of thing, it will slowly become true after spreading a lot, who knows what is going on, but you still have to pay attention to safety." ”

"Oh, and that kind of thing?" said the woman, frowning slightly, "but it's not unusual." ”

"No, it may scare you to say it, they all say that there is an evil ghost living in the old town, who will come out at night, with a cloak and a foul smell, and they say that this ghost is very fierce, and many people have been killed by him. The driver said with an oath.

The woman reached out and stroked her jet-black hair, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, I'm here to collect debts, and I'll leave when I finish my debts." ”

"By the way, girl, you said that you came to ask for debts, why did you come to ask for debts during the Chinese New Year?" Master Zhang asked.

The woman suddenly laughed, with a bright expression on her face.

"Yes, if it were possible, no one would want to go to someone else's house for the New Year to ask for debts, ask for debts, others can't live, but if you don't have debts, I can't live myself. The woman's cold voice sounded very comfortable, and there was a trace of sorrow in her eyes, as if she was worried about something.

"That's right. Master Zhang sighed helplessly, and said viciously: "The people who want to pay the debt these years are all grandsons, and the ones who repay the money are the uncles, a few days ago I went to my brother to get back the money he borrowed before, but I didn't expect that people would have locked the door and hid elsewhere." ”

The woman smiled but said nothing, as if she was thinking about something.

"Girl, seeing that you are young, you should be careful if you go to ask for debts, and you don't bring anyone with you all the way, so at least you have the confidence to speak. ”

The woman looked at the scenery outside the window and said softly: "I wanted to bring someone, but he had something to do, so I didn't let him come." ”

Master Zhang sighed and didn't say anything more.

When she arrived in the old town, the woman got out of the car and walked towards the separate courtyard in the far north.

It was in disrepair, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the woman felt the rusty key from her bag, inserted it into the door lock of the courtyard, and twisted it, but the door did not open.

Wu Mei frowned slightly, stretched out her hand and pushed the door, the door lock creaked, and it fell directly to the ground.

It turned out that the door had not been opened for a long time, and the lock had been broken, Wu Mei slowly walked into the courtyard, closed the door, stood in front of the door, hesitated for a moment, and walked in.

Walking into the house, the smell of mold and foul smell came over, Wu Mei frowned slightly, and then opened another door.

Behind this door, a hole appeared in the originally flat ground, and Wu Mei glanced at the stairs that extended downward, and her expression gradually became cold.

She walked slowly down the stone steps, and in this small courtyard, no one would have thought that there was a secret room underground.

It was pitch black below, and she couldn't see anything, Wu Mei wasn't scared at all, she knew what she was going to face.

Wu Mei stretched out her hand and took out her mobile phone, and then after the faint light of the mobile phone pressed the switch on the wall, the lights in the entire secret room instantly lit up, like day.

"Click-"

There was a sudden sound of iron chains colliding together in the secret room, in front of Wu Mei's body, there was a 'prison' welded to death by iron pillars, and in this prison, there was a man with a cloak lying down, if you didn't pay attention to his face, it was easy for him to think of him as a demon!

Seeing the light, the man reached out to cover his eyes, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen the light, and when his eyes got used to the light, he saw Wu Mei standing at the door.

"You...... You ......"

The man suddenly got up and shouted sharply, "You, let me out!"
