Apartment 23 is a humble place next to the Green Mountain community, and although it was built a few years later than its successor, the Green Mountain community has become an iconic name in the area because of some indescribable relationship.

Whether it's a bus stop sign or a taxi asking for directions, as long as you report the words "Green Mountain Community", it is unlikely that you will miss it.

Because for the locals of Sinsong, the existence of the Green Mountain community can almost be described as a legend.

In the early years, when Apartment 23 was not called Apartment 23, it was a very atmospheric parish.

The churches and cemeteries that have been left since a long time ago are a major feature of the area, not to mention the large unexplored jungle and ruins behind it.

Suddenly, however, one day, the head of the diocese left with a few cronies, leaving behind only some staff members who had nothing to do with the priesthood.

Just when everyone was at a loss for what to do, a person claiming to be the owner of the land stood up and submitted a very rich amount of relevant evidence to the people concerned.

Soon, at the direction of the owner. The church near the main road was converted into a European-style villa, and the cemetery was sold to another wealthy businessman.

The wealthy merchant also rebuilt the cemetery into a unique mansion at that time, because the daughter of the wealthy merchant married at the age of 23 when it was just completed, so he decided to rename the house he built into Apartment No. 23.

However, with the decline of the wealthy businessman's family, the once glorious apartment has also become depressed, and because it still has use value, it has become a relatively large hotel.

But the good times didn't last long, and with the death of the last direct descendant of the wealthy businessman, this originally well-managed industry began to gradually fall into decay.

Because of the property rights dispute, until the landlord and his father got the land, this originally glamorous house became a little disgusting.

Fortunately, the house is always a house, and since you can't let the rich live in it, it may be a good choice to open it up as a rental house.

As a result, Apartment No. 23 has become one of the few existences in Xinsongli with a deep background but poor living conditions.

If it weren't for being cheated by a black intermediary, Yu Siqi wouldn't have spent a lot of money to live in such a ghost place, although the interior layout is quite distinctive, but it can't stand up to the disrepair.

If you turn over too violently in the high-backed bed, you can faintly hear the sound of wood breaking.

Not to mention that because there was an explosion in the boiler room a few years ago, it has been completely sealed by the fire department. If you take a bath in winter, you basically have to take a bucket of hot water to burn it "hot quickly" bucket by bucket to barely survive.

"Be sure to move out of this hellish place before winter." This is a piece of advice that Yu Siqi often gives himself, but what happened tonight made Yu Siqi, who was standing outside the iron gate, suddenly feel a sense of security in this place where the rumors were not very good.

Because he was getting closer and closer to home, Yu Siqi relaxed his tense nerves a little. Recalling the strange scene that happened just now, my state of mind that I was just about to calm down began to ripple again.

"Come on, you can do it." Yu Siqi clenched his hands into fists, cheering himself on.

After discovering that as long as he recalled what had just happened, his pulse and heartbeat would begin to accelerate, Yu Siqi simply gave up seeking answers in his memory.

Gradually put his hands back in the pockets of his trousers, and looked around the "neutral zone" with great interest.

It is called a "neutral zone" because it is sandwiched between the Green Hill neighborhood and Apartment 23, both of which claim irrefutable sovereignty over it, but in practice they are inadequately managed.

If you forcibly throw the burden to the sanitation, it will naturally cause some unnecessary trouble, such as a beautiful fountain here, which disappeared without knowing when.

No one asked, just left some good people to talk about after dinner.

Yu Siqi did not object to the disappearance of the fountain, because when there were fountains and benches in the past, it was a gathering place for couples in the middle of the night, and it was too unfriendly to a single person like himself, especially since his window was facing this "neutral zone".

Now that it has been demolished, it has returned the tranquility of this land.

"I'm still walking here so late!"

Yu Siqi suddenly snorted, he was familiar with this voice, wasn't this the voice of the landlord? He turned around slowly and saw the landlord in a tracksuit walking in place not far from him, with a pink towel on his shoulder.

"What about exercise?" Yu Siqi tried to make his voice sound normal.

"yes, go out and run a few laps with your friends." The landlord pointed to a young girl who ran out of the Green Mountain community, winked at Yu Siqi playfully, lowered his voice and said, "Don't tell my wife about tonight, I'll pay all the rent before you." ”

"No problem, I'm very tight-mouthed." Yu Siqi adjusted his facial muscles to make them look natural.

"So be it, next time you want to go for a walk, remember to let me know in advance. Recently, the world has not been peaceful, and it is always not safe to go out alone, but it is not the same with a companion. The landlord looked at Yu Siqi with a smile, and behind that smile he felt that some terrifying thoughts were spreading.

"Don't bother you, I just didn't catch the bus today and walked back." Yu Siqi hurriedly waved his hand to explain, and the landlord's expression began to ease a little.

While Siqi was talking to the landlord, they didn't seem to notice that the girl had run up to them.

"What are you talking about?"

Despite wearing sportswear, her bumpy figure is still particularly seductive against the backdrop of sportswear. In particular, the zipper on the chest is pulled very low, revealing the pink bra inside.

Long black hair is coiled around the back of the head, with a pink hairpin pinned to it.

Yu Siqi also noticed that the beauty was also wearing a pair of pink running shoes.

"No, it's just old friends catching up." The landlord lightly slapped Yu Siqi's chest and said, "That's right! ”

"Yes, I just happened to see it, so I just said hello casually." Yu Siqi rubbed his chest while trying to control his gaze not to be attracted by the pair of scenery that swayed up and down.

"My name is Mu Zaiyan, I work at SIASUN Radio and Television Station, and it's a pleasure to meet you." Mu Jae-yeon stretched out her right hand and began to introduce herself, but her fair-skinned jade palm was quickly held by the landlord.

"Don't you still have to go to work tomorrow, go back early and rest!" The landlord tried to wink at Yu Siqi.

"Don't be like this, there are outsiders!" Mu Jae-yeon pulled out her right hand that was clenched by the landlord, and her twisted demeanor made people feel pitiful.

"I still have something to do, so I'll go first." Yu Siqi is not a fool, the landlord is already a little displeased, if he completely provokes him. Not only will the rent that was promised before have to be paid, but the small days in the future will be even more difficult.

Therefore, after being exposed, he left this pair of "talented women" and walked to apartment No. 23 without looking back.

The pitch-black iron door has rusted because of its age. There was only one light bulb less than ten watts in the duty room at the gate, and the security guard inside was nowhere to be seen.

Looking at the unlocked door, Yu Siqi hung up the key he had just taken from his waistband and hung it back.

Thinking about the security guard, Lao Huang estimated which chess and card room he had sneaked into to play cards again.

This Lao Huang, that's why this place will take in a security guard like him who doesn't do his job! When Yu Siqi pushed open the iron door, the sound of squeaky and creaking axles resounded throughout the courtyard, which was simply harsh.

Damn landlord, rich girl, I don't know how to spend some money to get someone else to put some oil on the door, this door is getting harder and harder to push.

Yu Siqi panted and closed the iron door and fastened the lock where it should be.

Standing behind the iron gate, a gray and dilapidated old building in front of me exuded an ominous aura in the dark shadows. Scattered lights shone through the windows of the apartment to the ground, and with the light, Yu Siqi groped his way to the door of the apartment.

It was a once-imposing wooden door, but now it is in tatters due to dampness and weathering. The place where the lock was originally locked had been gnawed out by a rat with a hole the size of a palm, and someone casually took two pieces of tape and put it on it.

"Who are you fooling!" Yu Siqi looked at the tape that had been rolled up, and muttered angrily.

Compared to the previous iron door, this wooden door that was about to completely rot was not easy to control.

If you accidentally push your head, you will have to get through the gap below.

So Yu Siqi was careful not to let the big guy tilt to the side.

At this moment, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground with a "bang" suddenly frightened Yu Siqi so much that he almost fell to the ground.

"What the hell! Ahh It seems that the guy who threw the thing was going to throw the bag into that garbage can, but because the garbage can was already filled with watermelon rinds, bagasse and other household garbage, the black bag became the last straw that crushed the garbage can, and the entire garbage can fell to the ground on its side, and the entire front door became a garbage dump.

Originally, the garbage was not owned by Siqi, but Lao Huang didn't know where to go at this time. And I happened to witness this moment again, so let's settle all this.

Quickly ran upstairs into his room, took the sweeping tools behind the door, closed the door slightly, and ran downstairs with "oh, oh, oh".

"I don't eat or sleep in the middle of the night, and I must be crazy when I go to the yard to do voluntary labor." Yu Siqi laughed to himself as he swept the garbage back to where it should be.
