Volume 2 Mahjong Chapter 86 Who are you talking to?
Not only that, but countless yellow-green points of light lit up around the pitch-black building.
These points of light are very conspicuous in the dark, like the eyes of fierce beasts, slowly approaching the Splendid Tower.
If there is a flash of lightning, you can also see a cloud of black mist rising next to the yellow-green point of light.
These black mist were surrounded by countless blood pupils, which looked like crumbling red lanterns.
As these visions appeared, bursts of animal howls sounded outside the Splendid Building, as if there were evil wolves around.
But I didn't see this kind of phenomenon, because at this moment, I have entered the splendid building.
Everything was as usual in the Splendid Building, there were no black clouds, no yellow-green points of light, and no black fog jumped into my field of vision.
I looked up at the sky, and I could still see the sunset over the building, and under the sunset, the light in the splendid building was not very dim.
"It's almost five o'clock in the afternoon." After picking up my phone and checking the time, I observed the internal structure of the Splendid Building.
This splendid building is divided into four buildings, namely Building A, Building B, Building C and Building D.
The four buildings are surrounded in a square like a modern Roman gladiatorial arena.
At this moment, I am standing at the bottom of this "Roman gladiatorial arena".
When I looked up, I saw four buildings lined up on the left and right, front and back, like four mountains.
I looked closely for a while and found that all the floors of the four buildings were connected.
For example, on the second floor of Building A, you can access the second floor of the remaining three buildings, and so on, on the third floor of Building B, you can access the third floor of the remaining three buildings, and on the fourth floor of Building C, you can also access the fourth floor of the remaining three buildings.
So it's not so much a modern Roman gladiatorial arena as it is a simple Hakka walled house.
I counted them carefully and learned that the four buildings were divided into seven floors.
"That cheongsam woman lives on the third floor of Building D." Once I learned the number of floors in the building, I began to tell the exact number of the four buildings.
In the end, I found that I was on the right and right of Building A and Building B, and Building C and Building D were lying in front of and behind me.
As for the open space where I stood, it should be the garden of the Splendid Building, a place for the residents to rest and play.
However, due to the long-term abandonment, the debris in the garden has piled up, emitting an indescribable stench.
And the original green turf has also been eroded by yellow sand, such as a bare old man with a bare head.
The infrastructure that remains in the garden has been destroyed into scattered mechanical parts, which is terrible.
There are still a few trees standing in the garden, but because no one prunes them, these trees grow rough and messy, which even affects the overall image of Fairview Building.
Looking at the unsightly garden, I took a heavy breath and then moved closer to Building D in front of me.
Soon, I was walking across the cluttered garden and standing in front of the gate of Building D.
But before I could get on my feet, an accident happened.
Sail!
An explosion sounded in my ears!
I turned around in horror to see a flower pot full of dirt, just half a step away.
If I take half a step slower, I'll be smashed in the head by this pot!
The thought of the smashing of my head made me feel terrified in the bottom of my heart.
"The pot was smashed from Building D! Someone is going to kill me! I looked up in fear and anger.
But Building D was empty, and there was no one at all.
"Could it be that the wind blew the pots off?" Thinking of this, the anger in my heart gradually became occupied by doubt.
Just when I was confused, there was a "creak", and the door of Building D opened from the inside, and the cheongsam woman came out.
"I'm sorry, I just picked up another phone call and kept you waiting." The cheongsam woman owes her body slightly.
"It's out of the way, I just arrived, so I didn't wait much." As I answered, I suddenly noticed the woman's hands.
The woman's hands are wet and seem to have just been washed?
"Why did she wash her hands, could it be that she pushed the flower pot down?" The terrifying scene I had just experienced resurfaced in my heart, and I never believed that it was the wind that blew the flower pot down.
"The flower pot is full of dirt, and it is difficult to blow it even if it is strong, not to mention that there is no wind at all now, and the timing and location of the flower pot falling are too coincidental, it is clearly aimed at me." I think about it, and I still think that the human factor is the greatest.
"The cheongsam woman is very suspicious, because after I came to Jinxiu Building, I only notified her." I groaned secretly, still glued to the woman's hands.
The cheongsam woman finally noticed my gaze and couldn't help but shrink her hands: "When I just answered the phone, I accidentally lost a cup of coffee, so I washed my hands again." ”
After speaking, the cheongsam woman continued: "Don't stand outside, come in, but there is no elevator in the building, so you have to climb the stairs." ”
"It's okay, it's just the third floor, no one can die." I smiled a little meaningfully, and followed the figure of the cheongsam woman into Building D.
Looking at the back of the woman moving slowly in front of me, I was vigilant: "Before the cheongsam woman is cleared of suspicion, don't trust her too much, I always feel that she is not simple." ”
There is no housing on the first floor of Building D, only a staircase leading to the upper floor.
Taking advantage of the light of the staircase, I followed the cheongsam woman up the stairs.
Soon, we were away from the first floor and in the middle of the second floor.
I took a cursory look and saw that there were six rooms on the second floor, and the doors of these six rooms were closed, and I didn't know if anyone was inside.
So I stopped and asked the back of the cheongsam woman, "Isn't the splendid building already abandoned?" Why did you buy a room here, it's not worth it, right? ”
The cheongsam woman paused, but did not turn around: "There are already real estate developers who are ready to re-operate Jinxiu Building, I believe that it will not be long before this place will return to its former liveliness. ”
"So that means there's no one here for the time being?" I continued to ask questions.
"How could it not be, but there is only one administrator in the splendid building of Nuoda, and he lives in Building A 201."
"There's only one caretaker, and you're not afraid of homeless people occupying these rooms?" I laughed.
"Then I don't know, it's not my turn to worry about these things, but the homeless generally don't dare to approach the Splendid Building." The cheongsam woman paused and did not continue.
I had to ask again: "Why don't the homeless people dare to approach the Splendid Building?" ”
But only my voice echoed in the second floor, and the cheongsam woman did not answer the question.
I had to change the subject: "So apart from you and the administrator, are there any other residents in the Splendid Building?" ”
The cheongsam woman thought for a while, and finally spoke again: "I don't know about the other three buildings, I only know that in addition to my husband and me, there are four families living in Building D, and I don't know how many members these four families have." ”
At the mention of her husband, the cheongsam woman twitched her body faintly, so I had to give up asking and follow the cheongsam woman to the third floor.
The sound of "tuk tuk" footsteps echoed in the building, which made me a little frightened.
In this state, I faintly heard footsteps, which seemed to be mixed with the barking of dogs.
The barking of the dog was getting closer and closer to me, as if it were coming from the room of the building.
"Did you hear that?" I walked quickly to the cheongsam woman in embarrassment.
"Hear what?" The cheongsam woman seemed to squeeze a sentence out of her throat.
"The dog barks." I replied.
Who knew that the cheongsam woman shook her head: "I didn't hear it, I guess it was your illusion." ”
As soon as the words fell, the cheongsam woman and I climbed up to the third floor and came to room 301, where the woman lived.
Immediately after, the cheongsam woman took out the key and prepared to open the door of 301.
But at this moment, room 302 opposite 301 was suddenly pushed open, and an octogenarian lady walked out of it.
The octogenarian lady was dressed in a black robe and held a polished wooden cane in her hand.
The octogenarian lady must have suffered from rickets, and most of her body and half of her head were buried deep in her back, and she relied on crutches to support her walking.
But even with the support of her crutches, she still staggered to walk, and it seemed that she was about to fall to the ground in the next moment.
"This old lady should also be a resident of the Splendid Building." Looking at the old lady's swaying figure, I hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "Grandma, you can ask your family to buy whatever you want to buy, you don't have to go downstairs yourself." ”
Who knew that the cheongsam woman behind her was startled and looked at me like a ghost: "You...... Who are you talking to? ”
"What's wrong with talking to the grandmother who lives in room 302?" While holding the old lady's hand, I turned my head to look at the cheongsam woman.
The look on the woman's face suddenly turned pale: "What nonsense are you talking about, room 302 is not inhabited at all, where is the grandmother?!" ”
"Well, that old lady is right next to me, can't you see? Hey, what about people? I looked around in surprise.
There was nothing around him, and there was no octogenarian lady at all, only he raised his hands stupidly.
"Is this all an illusion?" My face froze instantly, and there was a chill in my hands and feet.
The cheongsam woman was frightened by my actions, and immediately opened the door of room 301 in a panic and disappeared into the room.
I was left standing outside the door, looking left and right, and finally on the door of 302.
Not only was the door of 302's room broken and peeling, but there were also many white cobwebs on it, apparently due to the fact that no one had pushed the door for a long time.
Since no one has pushed the door for a long time, how can I see the old lady pushing the door out?
"Can you still hit ghosts in broad daylight? Bad luck. With that, I put down my hands and walked towards room 301.
But at this moment, I felt a pain in the palms of my hands.
I hurriedly spread out my hands and looked at them, only to see four lines of small black characters floating in the palm of my hand.
