Earth, Block 67, New York, United States,

The location of the city, which is exactly opposite Hell's Kitchen, is home to older buildings and less prosperous economies, mostly inhabited by the elderly.

It's because of the relatively poor relationship, and the general gangsters are reluctant to take over here, so it is a relatively peaceful street in New York.

On this street, there is an apartment called the ghost building, which is an old apartment with more than ten floors, the equipment and facilities are relatively old, and there are more migrant workers who are not very wealthy, but have dreams, there are middle-aged people and young people, and of course there are some idle floors, there have been some haunted legends here, but for the people of the United States, this legend is just a joke after dinner, they never believe that there will be ghosts in this world.

For the rumors that many people have died here, they are even more scoffed, where have no people died in this city, and some places are rivers of blood, for the long-tested people of the United States, as long as it is cheap enough, it doesn't matter if they live next to the cemetery, they are not as superstitious as the people of the Celestial Empire.

But this world is not what you think it doesn't have, then it must not exist, this scary name apartment, there are indeed some evil doors, there will always be some strange movements, and the 13th floor penthouse that is always idle and refuses to be rented, people who die unexpectedly from time to time, in short, there is no shortage of stories here.

And people have long been accustomed to this place, every time a room is vacated, someone will immediately move in, no one cares, what happened here, how many people have died, as long as the rent is cheap enough, people will always be for some small profits, and there is a fluke mentality, which creates the reason for the tragedy never stops.

On this day, there was another tragedy in the ghost building, a couple on the 12th floor died tragically at home, as if they were scared to death by something, their faces were hideous and terrifying, and when someone found them, the corpses had already begun to rot and stink. The accident caused another commotion, and the tenants clamored to know the truth, but the landlord didn't care, he was used to this kind of thing, although these people were arguing fiercely, it was just to reduce some rent, as long as he lowered the price, it would not be long before they calmed down.

As for the dead man's mind about him! As a landlord of a capitalist, he will not care about this kind of thing, anyway, there are people in New York who can't afford to live in a house, and if one dies, there will be again. As long as the thirteenth floor is not opened for others to live in, there will not be a large number of deaths, so his building can still be rented out with peace of mind.

Thinking of the thirteenth floor, the round landlord Huck, scared out of a cold sweat, he has been living here for almost 50 years, and this ghost building has been built for 20 years, during which it has been renovated several times, originally this place was not called a ghost building, at that time it was still very beautiful and peaceful, friendly and harmonious between people, and every resident was full of happiness.

However, the good is always short-lived, and there was a sudden murder case here in ten years, and the whole thirteen-story building, seven families, seventeen people, all died overnight, and the deaths were different, but they were all very tragic. Since then, the building has never been peaceful, and people have died almost every month, and the number of people who have died varies in their ways, but they all have one thing in common, and that is that they have been to the thirteenth floor.

The landlord had a headache for a while, and even the business plummeted, and the rent fell again and again, as if he was barely able to make ends meet. It was useless for him to ask for a mage priest and so on, as long as he went up, he would never be spared, Huck was so frightened that he didn't dare to go to the thirteenth floor, and even found someone to seal the entrance and set up a slogan.

But it's useless, only the people of the United States owe it too much, saying that it sounds good is called adventurous, and if it doesn't sound good, it is death, the more they don't let go, the more they want to go, there are always some who want to hunt for curiosity, or break in by mistake, or for some reason, they go up in a daze, and it doesn't even work to seal the entrance.

Every once in a while, someone will die because of this, so the landlord has long been used to it, just calling someone to call the police and clean up the bodies of the husband and wife, he is already very skilled in this set of procedures, but these are all done by others. And Huck himself would never enter this ghost building, even to collect rent, he would always stand outside the building, and would rather not accept it than go in. So a lot of times, if the tenants here want to rent and can't stay in the building, Huck will take them and have no choice, so he can jump to his feet in anger and shout and curse outside the building.

So this time the death of the couple, Huck just watched from a distance, the police car carried the body away, and then routinely, drew a cross on his chest, and muttered two words of Amen with palpitations on his face, even if he confessed the matter.

Huck casually took out a white handkerchief from the pocket of his suit, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, straightened his corrupt belly, turned around and walked towards his house, complaining as he walked: "Damn it, if you die, you won't stop, you will make trouble for me, obviously the entrance has been sealed, why do you still go in, it's really a death, I have to spend a decoration fee and a hush money." Oh my God! What could be more uncomfortable than that, and may these people all go to Satan! ”

Huck scolded and walked back to his home, his home was a two-story villa, not too far from the ghost building, only a few hundred meters away, and in a few minutes, he had already seen the iron gate of his house.

Seeing his home, Huck couldn't help but lift his spirits, and his fear calmed down, it's still his own home, at least it's not dirty, he hasn't slept well every day these days, he's a little stunned, this time he must sleep well for a day and a night.

"Wow!" Pushing open the door, Huck couldn't wait to walk inside, not realizing at all that a figure in a suit appeared in the shadows of the street corner. As soon as the figure appeared, it quietly followed behind Huck, perhaps because he was moving too fast to notice that there was another person behind him.

"Ah~! Hell, who are you? How did you get in? Until Huck walked into the house and wanted to turn around and close the door, he suddenly found that there was an extra person behind him, and he was suddenly frightened excessively, and he couldn't help screaming, these days he has been tormented by evil things nervously, and suddenly there is an extra person behind him, Huck was naturally startled. However, when he cleared up, it was just an ordinary person, and he couldn't help but be furious and asked in a loud voice.

"If I scared you, then I apologize, I didn't expect you to be so bold." This person is extremely kind-looking, with small eyes squinting a natural smiling face, a neat suit, and looks like a successful person.

Maybe it was this dress that made Huck classify him into the elite stage, and his bad attitude was a lot more restrained, but his tone was still not good, and he asked vigilantly: "Who are you and how did you come here, I warn you not to beat me for my crooked ideas, I'm just a poor man, I have nothing but a bad life, and the police here are all my friends." ”

"I think you misunderstood, I didn't mean anything, I just wanted to find out something from you." The person who came slowed down and said with a smile.

"Damn, I don't know anything, don't come to me, I'm going to sleep." When Huck heard that he was here to investigate, his expression became more alert, and he refused without hesitation, and closed the door as he spoke.

But the man suddenly stepped forward and put his foot on the door, so that he could no longer close the door: "I don't think it's up to you, you have to cooperate with my work." ”

"Why? You, the government officials, will trouble us people, waste our taxpayers' time and money, and threaten me. Huck was saying, as if remembering something, and asked, "Besides, why should I trust you, what if you are a liar?" ”

Hearing this, the visitor smiled slightly, reached out and took out a document from his arms, shook it in front of his eyes, and then said: "I am an investigator of the Special Events Investigation Department, my name is Coulson, you only need to answer me a few questions, this is nothing to lose to you." ”
