Yu Siqi, who returned home, was almost in a state of chaos, and his eyelids were plummeting, and he chose the best solution for young people after staying up all night in a row - falling asleep.

In a few moments, the entire 303 room was filled with a loud sound of sleep, interspersed with the occasional smacking mutter.

The sun had gradually risen, and the dark and gloomy bedroom had begun to brighten up with the sunlight streaming in through the window. The mirrors hanging on the wall reflect some wonderful patterns in the light of the sun.

In his sleep, Yu Siqi turned over slightly and wiped the saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

With the official arrival of a new day, the originally lifeless apartment 23 has also begun to liven up.

The husband, who was watching his wife go out to buy groceries, saw a kitten churning on the garbage can, and after several attempts to drive it away, he shook his head and closed the door.

The fat man carrying a large bag of garbage was carefully descending the staircase handrail, and the landlady stood by the unlocked door and scolded the security guard Lao Huang.

It seemed very annoyed by his farewell, and of course, the most important thing was that no one noticed a familiar figure standing outside the sealed boiler room deep on the third floor.

I saw that the man was wearing a black hood shirt and a pair of tourist shoes with a little dirt on his feet. Maybe he's been standing too long, or maybe it's just that the apartment is busier than usual today.

Soon, the fat man who had finished taking out the garbage saw the guy around the corner of the upstairs.

shouted loudly: "Hey, it's sealed over there, don't get close, it's dangerous." ”

No one paid any attention to him, and seeing that his advice was treated indifferently, the fat man did not say much, but moved his bloated body, walked back to his room, and slammed the door shut.

If that sound was the usual Yu Siqi, he would definitely have to go up and reason with this guy again. But he was now asleep, and the noise of the outside world had nothing to do with him.

However, the sound still made the man standing in front of the boiler room move, and he slowly walked to the door of room 303, leaned down and stuffed a yellow envelope into the crack in the door below, and then hurried downstairs.

After passing by the gate, he deliberately lowered the brim of his hat, leaving only the landlady who kept complaining with the tenants to be stunned.

Time passed, and as the sun gradually set, the previously bustling apartment 23 slowly became much more deserted. Occasionally, a cold wind blew from the silent yard, blowing garbage all over the floor that no one cleaned.

On the other hand, in the Green Mountain community next door, the traffic is bustling and lively. There are even some owners who can't enter the community to park their cars outside the courtyard of apartment 23 in order to be able to return home as soon as possible.

For a while, the sound of horns and beeps pierced the silent night sky, and the sleeping Yu Siqi was also awakened by such a noisy atmosphere.

I looked at the clock on the bedside table, it was already 5:12, and I slept all day.

Gritting his teeth, he sat up from the bed, the pain in his back and feet that made him almost unable to stand. Holding on to the edge of the bed, Yu Siqi decided to get some food for himself after a hungry day.

As he passed by the living room, an earthy yellow envelope under the door caught his attention.

After tiptoeing to the foyer and bending down to pick up the envelope. Yu Siqi grinned and sat down on the nearest chair.

It was an envelope without a postage stamp, and the envelope without a seal had been artificially folded twice, as if someone was worried that the contents would fall out.

When the envelope was opened, a very small piece of cardboard fell out. After spreading it out, Yu Siqi noticed that it was a small page torn from a notepad.

There is only one sentence written on it: "It is the sun at dusk, but we take it as the dawn of dawn." ”

This sentence sounded strange, and when Yu Siqi was about to think about where he seemed to have heard similar words, his stomach began to scream again, and he hurriedly threw the note aside, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to boil hot water with the pain from the soles of his feet.

Waiting for instant noodles for three minutes is extremely sacred, and this sentence was said to him by a colleague who was particularly fond of instant noodles before Yu Siqi. If it weren't for that person's departure, he might not have come to Xinsong to look for a job at all, in other words, he wouldn't have encountered so many strange things.

Thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense, Yu Siqi lowered his head and ate instant noodles, the steaming instant noodles made the tip of his tongue unconscious, but the hunger in his stomach prompted him to eat instinctively.

After a while, Yu Siqi, who was sweating profusely, drank every drop of soup in the bowl, and looked at the empty bowl in front of him with an unfinished aftertaste.

After a full hiccups, he cleaned up and prepared to go downstairs to throw out the trash.

As night began to fall, the entire apartment 23 was wrapped in a mysterious gray, hiding something like an unlifted veil.

The booth was still as empty as before. The gate was crudely chained several times and hung with an old lock.

A handwritten sign was posted on the mailbox at the gate: "New lock, key in mailbox, pick it up." ”

"You call that thing a new lock?" Yu Siqi felt that a lock of that grade, as long as he smashed it with a hammer a few times, it was estimated that it would be scrapped. But fortunately, in this kind of small place in the middle of nowhere, there is basically nothing to worry about, but the Green Mountain community next door has been robbed several times in a row at the beginning of the year.

When he went upstairs, he bumped into a man around the corner, and when he looked closely, it was the good neighbor who left without paying the rent.

"Why do you have the courage to come here," Yu Siqi asked.

"What, what's the problem? It's just that you haven't paid the rent, aren't you? Qin Yuyao said bitterly: "Besides, this is not something you should take care of. ”

"What's going on with that painter, would you mind sharing it with me?" Yu Siqi leaned against the wall and said, "I'm curious how you did it. ”

"Looks like you're more complicated than I thought, and I'm curious how you got me involved with that dead ghost?" Qin Yuyao raised his eyebrows, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and asked, "Do you smoke?" ”

"I said I didn't smoke!" Yu Siqi shook his head and said.

"Good boy, but it's not right to spread rumors everywhere." Qin Yuyao lit a cigarette for himself, and said there: "The security guard surnamed Huang left very suddenly, do you know about him?" I remember seeing you all eat together! ”

"I don't know, maybe we can make a deal." Yu Siqi said.

"What deal?" Qin Yuyao asked lazily.

"You tell me what I want to know, and I'll tell you where he lives." Yu Siqi proposed.

"Looks pretty good, doesn't it?" Qin Yuyao pressed the half-smoked cigarette butt against the wall, trotted all the way downstairs and said, "But I'm not the kind of person who can play a puzzle game with a little ghost who doesn't understand anything. Sorry, I have to go. ”

"Are you in a hurry to see your master?" Yu Siqi asked loudly.

I saw Qin Yuyao pick up a key in the mailbox, looked at Yu Siqi upstairs with a deep expression and said: "I don't know if you have read too many science fiction novels, or if you have taken drugs too much, why can't you enjoy a beautiful and sweet night like a normal person?" I'm sorry, I'm really not in the mood to waste time on you. ”

"It's pretty fast," Yu Siqi said to himself as he pushed open the door of his room.
