Gou Ming followed the map navigation, carefully avoiding the police booth and advancing towards the Tamagawa apartment.

It's not that he wants to be sneaky. It was already past 12 o'clock, but he was hanging around outside in his high school uniform, and the patrolman who was a little more responsible would stop him for questioning.

In order to avoid trouble, Gou Ming could only avoid the sentry box cautiously like a thief.

As for surveillance, he is not too afraid, after all, he is a good citizen, and he is not going to kill people and set fires.

When Gou Ming arrived outside Tamagawa's apartment, his mobile phone showed that it was close to one o'clock in the morning.

Gou Ming looked at the 18-story apartment in front of him and couldn't help frowning.

Judging by the exterior décor and the location, this is undoubtedly a high-end apartment building.

However, I don't know what happened, and the whole apartment building looks very desolate.

Even though it was close to 1 a.m. in the nearby apartment building, there were still many windows with lights on, and pedestrians walked by the door from time to time.

However, this building ...... Gou Ming observed that many pedestrians even deliberately bypassed the door of Tamagawa's apartment.

The entire Tamagawa apartment is like a forbidden area of life in the city.

Gou Ming looked up, except for the second and third floors, there were two lights on, from the fourth floor to the top floor, it was pitch black, and from a distance, the entire apartment building was like a huge tombstone standing in the dark night.

Gou Ming tightened the strap of his schoolbag and slowly walked into the Yuchuan apartment.

As soon as he walked into the hall on the first floor of the apartment, Gou Ming suddenly felt a cold chill hit him.

You must know that it is early spring, and the temperature is suitable, neither cold nor hot, which is the most suitable for going out.

Ke Gou Ming walked into the Yuchuan apartment, the temperature dropped sharply, and it felt like entering the morgue of the hospital.

Gou Ming subconsciously grabbed the crowbar in his schoolbag with his backhand and observed vigilantly.

This Tamagawa apartment really hasn't been maintained for a long time, and it's full of rundown, and the air is filled with the disgusting smell of things deteriorating and rotting mixed with urine.

On the left side of the hall against the wall is a row of mail cabinets, but many of the doors of the mail cabinets have been forcibly pried open, the paint is scratched, the name tags are thrown on the floor, and the walls behind them are painted with all kinds of strange graffiti.

The lamps installed on the ceiling of the hall have a total of six lampholders, but only two have bulbs, and they are still flashing and flashing, a picture of poor contact.

There are two elevators on the right, one of the doors is open, and there is a bench stuck in the doorway, which seems to be broken, and the other elevator is exactly stopping on the 14th floor.

The elevator doors are also covered in graffiti.

"Young man, what are you looking for?"

Just as Gou Ming was looking around, a voice suddenly came.

Gou Ming was startled, and a short figure appeared in front of him at some point.

It was an old man in old clothes, with a rickety figure and a wrinkled face. He had his hands behind his back and seemed to be holding a bunch of keys in his hands.

A pair of cloudy eyes stared at Gouming's face, making him feel uncomfortable.

Gou Ming noticed that a door on the opposite side of the hall had opened, and the old man seemed to have come out of it, and the room seemed to be the duty room of the apartment security guard.

Gou Ming couldn't help but look weird, with such a security guard, even if something happened in the building, it wouldn't make a difference.

"Young man, did you hear me?"

Just as Gou Ming looked at the old man, the old man raised his voice.

Gou Ming had an idea.

"I'm really sorry, old man, I'm looking for a house to live in. I saw online that this apartment has good facilities, convenient transportation, and is very cheap, so I took a look. ”

Gou Ming's words actually can't stand scrutiny, how can anyone come to see the house at midnight.

The old man didn't seem to care about his intentions at all, but half-squinted his cloudy eyes and admonished meaningfully.

"Young people, if you want to rent a house, you should go somewhere else, it's not very clean here."

Gou Ming's heart moved, the old man who acted as a security guard seemed to know something, so he hurriedly asked.

"Sir, why do you say that? Could it have been something that ever happened here? ”

The old man seemed reluctant to say more, he waved his hand and admonished.

"Young man, I'm doing this for your own good. This apartment is dangerous, especially after 12pm. Don't run above the 10th floor. ”

Then the old man turned around, barely making a sound, and walked towards the duty room.

Under the dim light, the shadow of the old man pulls the old man.

"Old man!"

Gou Mingming screamed.

The old man paused and did not look back.

"Remember, especially on the fourteenth floor, don't go up."

Leaving these words, the old man walked into the duty room and closed the door.

The hall fell silent again.

Gou Ming looked at the door of the duty room, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

The old man obviously knew something, and was very kind to persuade him.

Unfortunately, he had no choice.

Gou Ming resolutely came to the elevator that was still running and pressed the up button.

The elevator that had been in disrepair immediately emitted a mechanical roar, and the red '14' on the display screen on it immediately became '13', and then decreased in turn.

Soon after, the elevator doors opened, and Gou Ming walked inside.

The moment the elevator door closed, Gou Ming vaguely heard a sigh from the duty room.

When the elevator door closed, Gou Ming couldn't help but cover his nose.

A disgusting odor rushes in, and the enclosed environment makes the odors even stronger.

Gou Ming covered his nose with one hand, endured his nausea and began to look at the entire elevator.

His gaze slid over the yellow, dried marks in the corner of the elevator, and a pile of vomit surrounded by flies.

The uneven floor was littered with discarded newspapers, fruit pits, cans and other miscellaneous items.

The other three walls of the elevator are each equipped with a large mirror, including the closed elevator door, and the strange graffiti is painted in various colors of spray paint, with the words 'XX owes money' and 'go to death'.

Gou Ming could only see his blurred figure through the gaps in the graffiti.

Soon the elevator reached the 14th floor.

Bite!

With a soft thud, the elevator doors opened.

The corridor outside was pitch black, except for the pale white light in the elevator that illuminated a small area in front of it, and the unlit areas on both sides seemed even darker, as if a monster would pop out of the darkness at any moment.

The hallway was quiet, and the entire 14th floor was as quiet as a hospital morgue.

Gou Ming looked around, then raised his legs and walked out.

At this moment, the elevator door suddenly slammed! It was closed with a bang.

Gou Ming was a little surprised, reached out and pressed the door button, and the door slowly opened.

However, as soon as he opened his legs, the elevator door suddenly closed quickly.

An unexpected anomaly occurred, and Gou Ming suddenly became nervous.

He pressed the button again, and at the same time raised his leg and walked out, his eyes fixed on the button panel of the elevator.

The elevator doors snapped shut again.

And this time, Gou Ming saw it clearly.
