Chapter 127: Rent a house in purgatory

I walked with them for a long time, about three or four hours, when a road appeared in front of me, and in the middle of it stood a blood-red door.

"How can this door have a color?" I was stunned when I saw the strange scene, the whole world and even the highway were black and white, and suddenly there was an extra red door, which looked extremely weird.

There was nothing left or right behind the door, a road around it, and all that was left was an endless wilderness, only where it stood alone.

"This is the same nightmare door, the only colored piece of purgatory." My brother walked over to look at us and said, "I've heard other ghosts say that once you get into a nightmare and want to get out, you have to find a way to break it, and if you can't find it, you can't get out." ”

With this he said, he pushed the door open, and there was nothing behind it.

We walked in in confusion, and our bodies instantly felt as cold as if we were in the water, and then our eyes lit up, and a dilapidated building appeared in front of us.

It is a building similar to a unit, it looks old, the walls are a little yellowed, and there is a large door in front of it, and a yellowed notice is posted on the door: the house is rented, the price is low.

"Rental housing?" My brother walked to the door and looked at the sign, full of doubts: "This is the kind of place where the nightmare of the three of us is?" ”

"It's better to be careful." Deng Hai reminded: "There is nothing else around, the goal should be this." ”

"Let's go over and have a look." I walked to the door and pushed it twice, trying to see if I could open it, and after a few seconds, a dull and irritable voice came out of the building: "Who?!" ”

"Someone?" I heard the voice tremble in my heart, and I heard my brother say, "We're here to rent a house." ”

"Wait a minute!" The voice was very irritable, and it took nearly ten minutes before he walked out of the building, a middle-aged man, wearing a white vest and big pants, a pair of slippers on his feet, a cigarette in his mouth, his hair was unkempt, and the whole person looked like a mess.

He wore glasses and seemed to be highly short-sighted, and he came to look at us listlessly, squinting and saying, "Renting a house?" How many people? How long to stay? ”

"It may take a while, shall we take a look at the house first?" Deng Hai said politely.

"Okay, come in." He opened the door from the inside and took us upstairs, as soon as I entered the door, in the corridor I saw an elevator next to me, and was about to reach out and press it, but the landlord suddenly grabbed my hand and shook his head and said, "The elevator can't be used to take the stairs." ”

"Why can't it be used?"

"If you can't use it, you can't use it! Broken! ”

"Isn't this light on?" I pointed to the elevator light, and he suddenly became impatient: "Why do you have so many questions about whether you rent or not?" "This way of interrupting the speech is like deliberately hiding something.

I didn't speak, but looked at my brother and Deng Hai and continued upstairs.

Following the landlord up, the entire second floor was empty, the lights in the corridor were not turned on, and it was dim.

"You can't live on the second floor, there are people on the third and fifth floors, and only the fourth floor has a room." The landlord didn't reply.

"Why can't you live on the second floor?" Puzzled, I asked again.

He didn't feel disgusted this time, and said in a calm tone: "Because the second floor hasn't been renovated yet." ”

While talking, we came to the fourth floor, the whole corridor was in a mess, and no one cleaned up the garbage.

He led us to a room on the left wall, where a number was written: 403.

The landlord took the key out of his pocket and opened the door, there was a musty smell in the house, a living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom, simple furniture, and a shabby old old TV.

"Look at it." He pulled out the key and stood outside waiting, and I walked in and felt a little strange: "Aren't you coming in?" ”

"No, I'll go down first, if you think it's okay, just go downstairs and register with me." He turned around and left.

The three of us took a brief look around the room, and the room should have not been cleaned in a while, and there was always a strange smell, and I don't know where it came from.

"The landlord just said that the third and fifth floors are occupied, and it seems that there are many other residents here." Deng Hai observed the room and said, "Let's stay and have a look first." ”

I nodded in agreement, and the three of them were about to go down to register, just came out of the house, and suddenly the door on the right side of the corridor opened, and a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing glasses walked out, he was stunned when he saw us, and then said, "Come to rent a room?" ”

My brother nodded and said, "Yes, the landlord said that the third and fifth floors are full of people, and there is only the fourth floor left, so we will be neighbors in the future, please advise more." ”

My brother stretched out his hand, and the middle-aged man shook it and said, "Although I shouldn't say that, I still remind you that if you can find another place to live, don't come here." ”

"Why?" Hearing him say that, we were all a little confused.

"It's hard to say, but this place isn't very inhabitable, and it's going to make a mess of you." As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice: "Especially the landlord, I advise you to be careful, he is a little unrealistic." ”

"Dad, that thing seems to be here again." As soon as he finished speaking, a little girl with a red schoolbag on her back ran out of the room, looking like she was in her teens, and her expression was a little uneasy.

"Xiaoting, how many times have I told you, there is nothing under the bed! Can you stop thinking about it all the time! The man looked a little upset and sighed, "This is my daughter Xiaoting." ”

"What did she just say?"

"Nonsense, kid, you know, always like to think nonsense." He took Xiaoting's hand and said, "Are we going out for a trip, can we go down together?" ”

"Let's go." I didn't ask any more questions, and followed them downstairs, during which Xiaoting kept saying that there were monsters under her bed, and her father was obviously impatient.

When we got to the first floor, after they left, we went to the landlord to register, and my brother asked him, "What is the name of that man just now?" ”

"The one with the girl? His name is Li Wei, he is a primary school teacher, his wife ran away with a rich man two years ago, leaving him and his daughter, and a disabled mother. After he registered, he suddenly asked, "You've already met?" Did he say anything? ”

When I heard this, my heart trembled, and I remembered what Li Wei had said before, and shook my head: "No, but his daughter said something strange, as if there was some monster under the bed." ”

"Hmph, kids talk nonsense all day long." He handed us the key to the room and said, "Just this one, don't lose it, just ask me if you have any questions." ”

"Don't you have to pay rent?" My brother took the key and was stunned.

"Rent? If you don't have the money, you can rely on cleaning every month to pay for the room. He said: "The basement is very dirty, and it has never been cleaned up, and there are many of you, and I will not charge you rent when you have time to clean up." ”

We took the key back to the room, a total of two bedrooms, my brother and I live in one, Deng Hai himself one, simply clean up soon to the evening, through the door I heard across the corridor Li Wei with his daughter back.

"Nightmares must have brought us to this place for a reason, I'm afraid this rental house is not that simple." I thought to myself, "The landlord is a casual person, not warm or cold, and sometimes he has a bad temper. ”

"Li Wei brought his daughter and his own disabled mother, and judging from his previous words, he seemed to have some opinions about the landlord."

"Daughter Xiaoting said that there is a monster under the bed... Hopefully this is really just nonsense..."

"There are also people living on the third and fifth floors, but I haven't met them in this day, so I can't figure out how many people there are in the whole building for the time being."

The three of us discussed it roughly, and we began to feel a little tired and ready to rest, and when we slept until midnight, we were suddenly woken up by a "knock knock" sound.

I got up to listen and noticed that the sound was coming from the ceiling upstairs, as if someone was hitting the ceiling.

"What's going on?" My brother also heard the sound, and came out of the house and walked into the living room, and the impact was louder, and strangely enough, the strange smell of the house during the day seemed to become stronger late at night.

"What the hell does this smell like?" Deng Hai covered his nose and came out of the house: "It smells so bad, where does it come from?" ”

Upstairs "Boom! Boom! Boom! "The unsettling sounds still ring, and the silence of the night is strange.

"Upstairs residents? What are you doing in the middle of the night? "The three of us were standing in the living room and didn't know what was going on.

At this time, the black-and-white TV in front of him suddenly turned on with a "snap", and the picture was gray for a while, and the sound of electricity continued to make a sound of electricity, which lasted for a few seconds or so, and suddenly a singing sound came from inside: "Babble... Monarch... I don't know..."

The whole voice was choppy and staccato and sounded as weird as someone choking the neck.
