Chapter 19: The Old House
Chaowai No. 81, even in the daytime, this place seems to be out of place in the bustling Chaoyangmen downtown is very special.
This courtyard is located in Chaonei Street west of Chaoyangmen Bridge, the courtyard is actually not very large, but because it is surrounded by newly built office buildings, it seems that several drum towers in this courtyard look very strange, these small buildings are about three or four stories high, and the appearance belongs to Western-style buildings.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Qin Lu drove Lin Rong to this strange place.
Although it was already nine o'clock, the streets were still full of traffic, and there were many people who came out for a walk.
Qin Lu heard the car in the parking lot of a shopping mall, and then the two planned to walk over.
"Team leader, there are still a lot of people on the road now, how can we get in?" Qin Lu looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and was a little retreating.
Lin Rong said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, there must be no one else going to that place, let's just go over it." β
The two soon arrived at their destination tonight, No. 81.
Standing outside, with the help of the moonlight, the two looked inside.
It can be seen that most of the windows inside are already dilapidated, but it seems that no one has repaired or maintained them, making it feel even more abandoned.
There is a big tree in the courtyard, this tree is unusually tall, and the branches are numerous, and it seems to be dancing with teeth and claws, and it is lonely in the courtyard and complements the atmosphere of the haunted house.
"Tsk, it looks good! I didn't expect there to be such a murderous house in the bustling city. Lin Rong could see just by looking at his appearance, there was definitely material in it, not to mention the bursts of yin qi that emanated from it.
Qin Lu stood behind the door at this time and trembled a little, looking at the dark house in front of her, she was a little discouraged, since she experienced a night tour of the mass grave last night, she found that her courage had really become smaller.
Lin Rong didn't notice Qin Lu's reaction, he was still observing, there was a low house at the gate of the courtyard, probably a residence for the janitor, the blue-gray big iron gate was closed tightly, and a few big characters were written crookedly in red lacquer: No. 81, Chaonei, Chaoyang District.
After walking for a week, Lin Rong didn't find a place to enter, and it was impossible to go in through the main gate.
"Go over the wall, can you go in?" Lin Rong glanced at Qin Lu and asked.
"Uh...... Isn't that right? I think there should be people living at this door, eighty percent of them are gatekeepers, and it wouldn't be very troublesome if they were caught. β
After hearing this, Lin Rong said with an indifferent face: "What are you afraid of, aren't you a policeman, are you still afraid of this?" Let's go, let's go in and have a look. β
As he spoke, Lin Rong circled around the wall, and finally stopped at the west wall.
The height of this faΓ§ade is 2.5 meters, which is much lower than the others, and should be feasible.
"That's it, you go first." Lin Rong greeted, and Qin Lu stepped forward very reluctantly.
"Do you really want to go over the wall?"
"Nonsense, hurry up!" Lin Rong urged.
Qin Lu sighed, this was the first time she had done such an unsightly thing, but under Lin Rong's gaze, she finally turned over.
"It's good, it seems to be very experienced." Lin Rong couldn't help but tease when he saw Qin Lu easily climb over the two-meter-high outer wall.
"Hehe......" Qin Lu, who was standing inside the wall, laughed awkwardly.
Lin Rong shrugged his shoulders, then jumped into the air, and jumped directly into it.
After landing steadily, Lin Rong glanced back at Qin Lu in a chic manner, but saw that she didn't notice him at all.
Qin Lu turned on the flashlight and looked around, it was now full of garbage, some firecracker skins discarded at random, rotten wood, plastic and other messy waste.
It's not real to step on it, and it's easy to stumble, so the two of them walked inside very carefully.
Lin Rong took Qin Lu and went directly to the main building, and when he was about to get to the main building, he saw that the lights suddenly lit up in the corridor.
This change startled Qin Lu behind him.
"Be quiet, this is just a voice-activated light, by the way, you hurry up and start the live broadcast, if you don't start the live broadcast, it won't be in vain tonight."
"Ao ......" Qin Lu responded, took out the newly bought mobile phone, and then entered the live broadcast room.
As soon as the live broadcast started, I saw a few familiar names swishing in.
My 80-meter broadsword: [Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me, there is another event tonight!] γ
Glowing Firefly: [Well, last night wasn't fun at all, what's the theme today?] γ
The man blowing the wind on the watermelon peel: [Where is this? It's dark, and the lights are on? Someone living there? γ
Riding a donkey to find a donkey: [Master Lin, it's not good for you to trespass on people's houses. γ
Qin Lu looked at the questions in the live broadcast room and replied: "This is Chaowai No. 81, which is known as the No. 1 ghost house in Beijing. β
Buddha jumping over the wall: [I've heard of it...... That's exactly what happened. γ
Daredevil: [That's right, this place is haunted.] γ
Buddha jumping over the wall: [I've seen this movie, it's okay, so that the fierce ghost is here? γ
The man blowing the wind on the watermelon rind: [I don't think it's that simple. γ
The two crept through a broken door on the side, and with the help of the headlamp, they could see the furnishings in the building.
The walls of the place, as well as a lot of decoration materials and waste wood, because of the neglect of repairs in this place, most of the wood is dry, if it is not for the windows on both sides are no longer smooth glass air ducts, otherwise these wood must have rotted.
The two of them continued to walk inside, one after the other, with a crisp cracking sound with each step.
My Eighty-Meter Broadsword: [The sense of dΓ©jΓ vu of the ghost movie is here!] γ
Mushroom Stomp Villain: [No, this feels too exciting.] γ
Buddha jumping over the wall: [There are stairs in front, and the other is to go below, it looks so weird.] γ
Lin Rong was facing the two stairs at this time, one leading to the second floor and the other leading to the basement floor.
Qin Lu had been following closely behind Lin Rong all the time, trembling a little.
Lin Rong clearly felt the state of Qin Lu behind him. "What are you afraid of, it's easier for you to summon ghosts and you have a jade pendant with you, don't be afraid."
Lin Rong went down to the basement without hesitation, he walked in the front, Qin Lu followed him step by step, although there was the light of the flashlight, but in her opinion, this light was still not enough.
Descending the staircase leads to the basement level, a very old wooden staircase with some carvings on it, which, due to prolonged exposure to the air, seems to be more fragile than the broken wood buried in the garbage, and creaks when stepped on.
Qin Lu cautiously walked down the stairs and entered the basement floor.
Lin Rong didn't rush inside after coming down, but stood at the top of the stairs and squinted.
"No ......"
"Huh? What doesn't? Qin Lu heard Lin Rong's voice and asked curiously.
Lin Rong frowned and replied, "There is not the slightest shadow of a ghost, I'm afraid we're late......"
Mushroom Stomper: [The ghosts here can't have been taken captive, right? γ
Riding a donkey to find a donkey: [Eighty percent is, what should I do next? Waiting? γ
The man blowing the wind on the watermelon peel: [It's disappointing that there are no ghosts in such a weird place. γ
Glowing Firefly: [Don't say that, I'm afraid this thing is going to be difficult!] γ
Lin Rong walked a few steps inside, there was a room inside, he came straight to the door, the style of the door was not the same as the previous one, the doors that he passed through before were all European-style, but the door of this room was a Chinese-style wooden door, very simple, without any carving, and there was a yellowed spirit rune on it.
