Chapter 273: Ancient Mansion
"Who the hell are you?" I looked at the boy in front of me cautiously, but he didn't pay attention to me at all, but took Yan Yun's information and turned around and left here!
"He's a junior in your major, a freshman, don't you know?" Yan Yun patted me on the shoulder, "It seems to be their class president, I guess you haven't seen it when you're often out of school." ”
I really can't remember that I have such a mysterious junior, although I am two grades behind, but I shouldn't be impressed at all!
"How did he ......?"
"I know you, but that kid seems to have been so cold all along, don't see it." Yan Yun nodded with a 'I understand you' expression on her face.
But I think it's even more strange, this junior...... It's as if I know something, and that bad feeling is really exciting.
"Okay, you go back first, it's past ten o'clock, and if you don't go back, your dormitory manager will inform you again!" As soon as Yan Yun said, I realized that I had been here for more than an hour, and ......
There's something to do tonight.
"Then be careful yourself, you must lock the door when you are usually yourself!" I hurriedly commanded before I was pushed out the door.
"Got it! I'm not a child! ”
She gave me a blank look before closing the door, but somehow I felt a sense of trepidation in my heart, and I didn't know where to start.
Glancing at my phone, I took the note out of my pocket again—
[18 Kaiser]
Where the hell is this? I clearly remember that City B doesn't seem to have this district......
I searched on the map on my phone, but I didn't expect it...... Soon I was slapped in the face.
City B really has this district, but it was renamed a few years ago, and it is the current development zone.
But I couldn't find the message of the 18th on the map at all, let alone ...... What if it was rebuilt over there.
I hailed a taxi casually, and the driver was a middle-aged man in his forties, who should ...... You're familiar with City B, right?
With the attitude of giving it a try, I pretended to ask casually, "Did you know that the development zone used to be called 'Kaiser District'?" ”
"yes, but it was a long time ago, and you don't look local, do you? College students in City B, right? How do you know? He replied as he drove.
"Hmm...... I heard that why did I suddenly change my name, the address given to me by my friend I thought it was not City B. I said half-jokingly.
"Eh......" After a long time, he sighed slowly, and I glanced at the driver strangely, his appearance was ...... As if I knew something.
I didn't speak, waited for him to continue, and after a few more moments did he speak.
"I also heard that it was said that a new building was going to be built in Kaiser District at that time, but many people died because of the accident, and the person who was in charge of the project was dismissed and arrested, and the name was changed because of the accident. Maybe people who don't want to know about it outside the city......"
The driver explained slowly, but I was shocked in my heart-
Construction accidents...... It seems to be very similar to the one I know, but it seems that there is something wrong with the time......
At that time, I clearly heard that the accident in the development zone had occurred within a few years, but it was clear that it had been a long time.
"How many construction accidents have happened in that development zone?" I hurriedly asked.
"One accident like that is enough! I don't know how many people died, but the most serious one seems to be ...... family."
Immediately followed by a sigh, it could be seen that the driver was quite sorry.
That's why it will be renamed the development zone, with a new look...... Let's hope you forget about past accidents......
"And it is said that the person who presided over died inexplicably in prison, saying that someone took revenge or something...... Anyway, the final rumor is quite mysterious, so now the construction site does not dare to start construction and can only be shelved. ”
The driver seemed to have opened the conversation, and told me everything he knew.
But the doubts in my mind grew more and more.
This sounds like an accident many years ago...... And the one I know...... Isn't it really one?
After getting off the bus, it was already about 11 o'clock in the evening, and although it was summer, I still felt a slight chill.
Is it because I heard the story just now? Or is it ......
Although I already know the address on the piece of paper by heart, I ...... I still couldn't help but glance at the brushstrokes of the traditional characters...... It's as if it's not from this era.
Fortunately, No. 18 doesn't seem to be the center of the construction site, so I don't have to come here again.
However, the surrounding buildings have already been rebuilt, and the house numbers are all written on the XX Street XX of the Development Zone.
The storefront had long since closed its doors, and I was just walking aimlessly down the street, occasionally passing by a few people hurrying by, and almost no one cared about the people on the road.
Standing at the door of the 18th, I suddenly hesitated, even if this is the 18th, but this is the ...... 18th in Kaiser?
I stood in the doorway and suddenly hesitated, although there were several streets here, but ...... I somehow got here.
"Who are you?"
Just as I was struggling, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind me!
I chuckled in my heart and quickly took a step forward!
When I turned around, I saw a thin figure standing behind me! Against the light, I couldn't see his face clearly...... But that scrutinizing gaze shook me!
"I'm ...... I'm looking for No. 18 Kaiser. ”
I glanced at the man cautiously, and the aura on the man's body was really weird, and I couldn't help but shiver.
"Kaiser District...... Number 18? He asked slowly.
"Hmm...... I should have found the wrong one, sorry. I nodded slightly, trying to get out of here.
But before I could turn around, the man spoke again!
"Wait—"
His voice paused my feet, and I turned my head suspiciously, only to see him slowly opening the door—
Could it be......
The door clicked open, and I hesitated as I watched his staggering steps.
"What are you waiting for?"
I subconsciously followed in—his figure trembled in front of me, like an old man.
"You...... You okay? I subconsciously followed, and I couldn't bear to look at his back.
"I-cough-cough-cough! Ahem, ahem! ”
At that moment, he suddenly coughed violently, one after another, as if he was about to cough out his lungs!
I quickly helped him to calm down, and it took almost a few minutes of coughing before he slowly recovered.
"You...... You okay? I looked at him a little nervously, like an old man in his seventies and eighties......
"Ahem...... I'm fine, I'm sick......" he said slowly, patting his chest before turning around—
But the moment he turned around, I was so frightened that I was stunned!
"You ......" I looked at his face in a daze, his dull eyes...... It was as if he was covered with a layer of fog, and he couldn't see his eyes at all......
But...... It was as if those eyes could see me again, and they saw my pupils accurately......
"I'm scared of you, my eyes are old." He sighed and shook his head helplessly.
I swallowed hard and nodded.
But it really scared me just now, and I pressed the uneasiness in my heart, and I carefully helped him to go in slowly......
I don't know when the door behind me was closed, I didn't even hear a sound, and the hallway was pitch black...... I could only see the old man around me.
Squeak –
The gate in disrepair made a strange noise, and I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, but ...... On the surface, he didn't dare to show it in the slightest.
When I finally entered the house, everything in the room was completely different from what I had imagined - the neatly arranged furniture looked spotless, in stark contrast to the outside, and the paintings on the walls were not known when, but at a glance I knew they were antiques.
But my heart is even more confused, can I ...... Is this old man the master here?
But this place must have been built for many years...... It looks like an old house.
"Just sit down." He walked straight to a Taishi chair and sat down slowly, I had to find a chair that didn't look like an antique and sat down, but my heart was even more cramped.
I still don't know what the hell is going on and why I......
Will sit in a stranger's house?
But the old man sat down and had to sip a cup of tea by himself, as if waiting for me to speak, so I had no choice but to ask, "You say...... This is No. 18 Kaiser, right? ”
He nodded slowly, and a pair of eyes that couldn't see clearly found my position accurately-
Every time I see those eyes, I feel a shiver in my heart for no reason, as if ...... Those eyes were more eerie than any I'd seen before, and they seemed to ......
It's like I can see through all my secrets.
"This is No. 18 Kaiser." He said, "The development zone is just a gimmick, in fact...... I still prefer the name Kaiser. ”
His gaze suddenly drifted away, as if ...... It's like I'm recalling something.
I didn't know whether to speak, so I could only watch him silently.
"It was still so prosperous back then, but now it'......" He seemed to be caught up in his own memories, but ......
"Did the accident happen here?" I carefully interrupted his recollections, it was almost twelve o'clock in the night, and I was in no mood to catch up with him here.
Especially...... The two of us don't know each other at all, let alone talk about the old days.
"This is it, who would have thought...... Ahem, ahem! Before he could finish his sentence, he coughed violently again!
I was startled and quickly stood up, only to see him wave his hand to signal that he was okay.
"Who would have thought it would be like this now......" He exhaled slowly, but his face seemed to get worse and worse.
"Do you know someone named Demy?" I asked with determination, now...... Looks like he wouldn't have brought it up if I hadn't said it.
His words suddenly stopped, and then he slowly raised his head, his eyes staring straight at me......
It made my back chill suddenly, and a feeling of a stinging in my back made me swallow a mouthful of spit.
"I didn't expect you to ......" I don't know how long he looked at me before he slowly took a breath.
"I ...... Do you know her? I hurriedly asked, looking at his appearance...... You should know each other, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.
"Did he ask you to come?" He didn't answer my question directly, but asked slowly, but I didn't know who the 'he' was in his mouth.
But he didn't let me explain, nodded to himself, and then ...... There was a long silence, as if he had made some kind of decision in his mind, and it seemed as if an hour had passed before he slowly rose from his stool.
I instinctively tried to help him, but he waved his hand.
Staggering towards the room, I cautiously followed him, confused.
I saw that he slowly pulled the screen in the middle to the side, and a gate was exposed behind it!
I was slightly stunned, and subconsciously glanced at him, only to see him hold on to the doorknob, and the door opened with a 'click' -
