Chapter 59: Manipulating the OR Victims?
Lu Wuye's side doesn't want me to have an accident at the moment, so I can use them, why don't I use them?
I can't ask Mo Xianye to clean up the mess for me for everything, Yunlu was just injured a few days ago, and tonight is special, so it's better to let them cultivate in peace.
Once something happens inside the Splendid Home, it will attract the souls wandering outside, and it will be even more difficult to end at that time.
Lu Mingchuan watched me lead a group of people towards the door, suddenly followed, took a piece of jade from my neck, and forcibly hung it around my neck: "This piece of jade has been with me for many years, and it is a talisman left to me by Yang Daochang, I hope it can keep you safe." ”
I was about to refuse, but he said, "Wear it, or I won't let you in." ”
"Thank you." I tucked the jade into the neckline, smiled at him, and walked in the door.
There are a lot of compartments on the first floor, all of them are computer rooms and the like, the elevator is next to the stairs, we choose to take the stairs, after all, this time we came in, one is to find the missing security guards and bosses, and the other is that I want to see the structure of this building.
I've always suspected that there is something structurally wrong with the building itself, otherwise these spirits wouldn't have been stuck in the community.
According to Mr. Jiang's description, Building 14 of Fairview Homes began selling single rooms to people who need it about three months ago, but the community was handed over last fall, which means that from the beginning, the developer had planned what the building would be used for, but the opportunity was ushered in three months ago.
Three months ago, just after the Midyear Festival, these ashes that were placed here were the first Halloween here.
Climbing from the first floor to the second floor, the structure of the whole building has changed all of a sudden, this building has a total of 19 floors, rising in a spiral shape, surrounded by small single rooms, with an area of about ten square meters.
On the door of the room where the ashes have been stored, there will be a photo of the deceased, and it is clear which one has been sold.
Standing on the edge of the railing and looking up, if there are people outside the room and good eyesight, they will definitely be able to see.
In the middle of the spiral staircase is a deep patio with a tall golden tree, which is cone-shaped and leads to the top.
The temperature inside the building is very low, and the higher you go, the less air movement you can feel.
I was followed by forty-nine people, all of whom were close relatives of the deceased who had been placed here, and each of them was arranged in the form of the Seven Stars Soul Gathering Array, so that to a certain extent, the possibility of the souls creating illusions to confuse us could be blocked.
But as time goes by, some of them will inevitably be dispersed by external forces, causing the formation to fail, so I made seven sets of formations to extend the time of our activities as much as possible.
When we climbed up layer by layer, some people were already scared to the point that their legs were weak, and nothing had happened, and some people had begun to stand up, but fortunately, everyone's hearts were more aligned, and no one wanted to be at peace after the death of their parents, and even affect the feng shui of the family, they were gritting their teeth and persevering.
"This ...... It seems like nothing, empty. "I waited until I got to the fifth floor, and some people started to question me.
I didn't want to pay attention to him, after all, the current environment is not suitable for explanation, and any emotional incitement may cause everyone to collectively lose control.
But then someone shouted, "Below, look below." ”
Everyone looked down at the same time, and the sound of snorting was in unison.
When we came up, the whole corridor was clear, but now, the floors we walked through were all shrouded in a thin layer of white mist, and we stood on the fifth floor, and we couldn't see the situation on the third floor clearly.
But looking up, not much has changed.
"Something must be watching us, and we may be the same as the people who came in before, and we have never returned."
I don't know who shouted such a voice, it was just adding fuel to the fire, and everyone panicked instantly.
I hurriedly said: "Don't panic, as long as you hold hands, according to what we told you before we came in, we will definitely be able to get out. ”
"Look at the incense in my hand, it seems to burn faster and faster." Someone else shouted.
Immediately afterwards, everyone was talking about their incense, and it was getting shorter rapidly.
"Let's hurry up and try to turn back before the incense burns, we can't come in for nothing." I said.
Mr. Jiang, who was closest to me, also hurriedly echoed: "Let's think more about our parents and relatives, can you feel at ease if they are left in this weird building like this?" ”
"Now there is a master who is willing to take us in and take us in to take risks, we should cherish this opportunity, if we are scared now, and even want to turn back, then next time, who else can help us?"
"The elders are not well buried, and even are disturbed by unclean things, which has a greater impact on our family feng shui, and when the time comes, it will be too late to regret the disaster of the living."
Mr. Jiang's words hit everyone's hearts at once, and everyone tried to stay calm, and someone began to urge me: "Master, you take a bigger step, turn the whole floor as soon as possible, and take us out." ”
"Okay, I'll do my best, but I also need your cooperation, don't worry, we can all get out." I was sure.
The corridor was quiet again, and the speed at which we went up the floor also increased, and climbing the stairs was originally a particularly hard thing, but this time no one shouted that they were tired, and they buried their heads and walked hard.
Time passed minute by minute, and when we finally went up to the 18th floor, we found that the structure of the top floor and the 19th floor was different from the one below, and we didn't even find where to go up.
"Did anyone buy the nineteenth floor?" Mr. Jiang immediately asked, and everyone shook their heads.
"When I first chose a floor, I didn't have the option of the 19th floor." Someone replied.
"Maybe I'm afraid of the light, after all, storing the urn requires a cooler and darker environment." Someone gave a reasonable explanation.
Now we walked through all the floors, except for the nineteenth floor, we didn't find any people, and we didn't hear any movement, so those who lost contact were either on the nineteenth floor, or, scattered in some rooms, and controlled.
I looked around and found a problem: "You see, you can't go up to the nineteenth floor by taking the stairs, but the elevator should work." ”
"yes, let's take the elevator up and have a look." The big guy got excited again.
I reached for the elevator button, but it didn't turn on several times, and the elevator door wouldn't open.
I asked the property to turn off the elevator before, and it does not include Building 14, why can't the elevator be used?
In this way, the nineteenth floor is even more suspicious.
"The white mist is catching up." Someone reminded that at that time, the white fog had risen to about the sixteenth floor, and soon the entire floor would be white, and it would be impossible to distinguish the direction.
"Let's go down first, these white fogs make me a little flustered."
"yes, it's easier to go up from below, and when you're fascinated by the white mist, it's not so light to go downstairs."
"It's been determined that there is nothing unusual in the corridor, and we can discuss it on the first floor."
……
There was a lot of discussion, but everyone's opinion was unprecedentedly unanimous, and they all asked to go back.
Actually, if I were alone, I would definitely be looking for another way to find out, but in this situation, I can only obey most people.
Just as we turned around and were about to go downstairs, the elevator behind us, which had not moved just now, opened with a dingdong.
My scalp was numb and my intuition was bad, which reminded me of what happened in the hospital elevator before, and I subconsciously didn't want to go in.
But I don't want to go in, it doesn't mean that others don't want to go in, everyone is clamoring to go down from the elevator, it's much easier than taking the stairs.
I watched as the formation that had been arranged before was suddenly washed away, the seven or eight people in the front stuffed themselves into the elevator, and the people in the back were still squeezing forward, and I didn't have time to react, so I was squeezed into the elevator by several people.
The elevator doors closed automatically, and I could still hear the frightened screams of the people outside, and some people kept pressing the elevator button, but it still didn't light up.
"The elevator is up." Someone said.
Everyone was quiet again, only a few dozen seconds before and after, the elevator stopped, the door slowly opened, and a strong smell of incense came to the face.
Immediately afterwards, we saw a group of people lying on the ground, all wearing security uniforms, and some of them had walkie-talkies next to them.
These are the security guards who have lost contact before.
We didn't move in the elevator, the doors just opened, and the picture seemed to freeze.
I sighed, what should come will always come, this is the nineteenth floor, if there is any breakthrough, I think, it should also be on the nineteenth floor.
I lifted my feet and went out, took the lead, and the people behind me followed.
When the elevator is empty, the elevator doors close automatically.
The nineteenth floor is different from any of the following layers, it is completely open, only a small hole is left in the center, just the top of the golden tree pierced in, just in that position, there is an offering table, on the table is enshrined is a statue of a dragon head snake body, the dragon head is held high, the mouth contains a hollow bead, the front of the dragon head burns incense, the cigarette slowly rises, just shrouded around the bead.
"What the hell is this place, and what kind of hell is it enshrined." Someone complained.
Someone immediately reprimanded her: "It's all this time, don't talk nonsense, okay?" ”
The former was immediately silenced, because in this environment, everyone's nerves are really sensitive, and no one wants to cause trouble.
There were no windows on this floor, no other doors or exits than elevators, and when I looked around, I could only see a small square hole in the table and the roof.
This small square hole is funnel-shaped, and the sunlight shines down during the day, as long as the sun deviates slightly from this small square hole, there is no sunlight to shine down, but at night, the surrounding area is pitch black, and this small square hole can gather the moonlight to the maximum extent and shine directly on the offering table.
Avoiding the daylight and absorbing the moonlight, it seems that there is indeed something else under this building.
Just as I was intently observing the surrounding scene, the elevator behind me rang again, and immediately after, a group of people walked out, some of the people who had been locked out of the elevator on the eighteenth floor.
We really didn't expect that they would be sent up, who is controlling this elevator? Is this to bring all the people who have entered this building here?
We waited for a while, and sure enough, the third wave was also sent, followed by the fourth wave.
In the end, the number of people was counted, and none of them were bad, and no one was left behind.
After everyone got together again, they were frightened, but they still talked about their feelings.
Several of them said that they were standing at the farthest point from the elevator, and when the elevator was closed for the first time, the white fog below happened to be shrouded in it, and they were blocked, panicking, thinking that they were completely finished.
But then, they all felt as if there was a force pushing them forward, until they were pushed out of the elevator, and then the force disappeared, and then the elevator opened again and again before it could join us.
"I always felt like my mother was pushing me." A middle-aged woman in her forties suddenly burst into tears, with a handful of tears on her nose, very emotional.
As soon as she said this, many people became sad, originally they buried the ashes of their relatives here, which was a helpless move, but in the end they found a place for the deceased, and a big stone pressed in their hearts fell to the ground, but they were not happy for a few days, but they found that the current situation is unacceptable to individuals.
"Master, what can we do now?" Mr. Jiang asked suddenly.
This question confused me.
What can we do now? It seems that nothing can be done.
"Don't think about going out, it's too dangerous to take the stairs, and the elevator is not something we can control, so this floor should be the safest at present."
"Judging from the situation just now, the other party's goal is actually very clear from the beginning, what they want is the souls of your relatives who have been saved, no matter where these souls go, they still have to come back in the end, they are controlled, and tonight, it may be their last journey, we are just an outlier when we break in, the other party either does not intend to deal with us, or, it is also after his goal is achieved, he will come to deal with us, so we don't have to worry about life safety at present, everyone recuperates first."
"Also, do you see this offering table in front of you? Don't touch, if I'm right, that's the key to controlling those spirits, and don't act rashly until we're sure it's good or bad. ”
"Finally, all the people who came into this building, all but one."
As soon as my words fell, everyone muttered quietly, they came late, and they didn't know what was happening in front of them, so I said: "The manager of the project of Splendid Home, the boss, has also come in before, and lost contact, but he is not among our group, where is he now?" ”
"Is he the manipulator, or is he the victim?"
As soon as my analysis was thrown out, everyone was boiling, and there was everything to say.
"It must be the black-hearted boss who hurt us, it must be him!"
"I don't think the Mediterranean is a good thing, for the sake of money, you can do anything bad with your conscience."
"Yes, how could a normal person think of building a coffin in a residential area?"
"I can't say that, after all, in this society, who doesn't want to make money."
"I think he's just a little more financially savvy than the average person, but he didn't expect to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot."
"Yes, yes, when I bought a single room, I soaked it for a long time, and directly gave me 10,000 yuan less, I think he is a bright person and will not do such a lack of morality."
"Heh, give you 10,000 yuan less, just to tie you into this whirlpool, and you still say that he is a good person?"
……
I looked at the time, but found that in this building, the mobile phone has no signal, and the time is also static, and the mobile phone shows the same time we came in.
But according to calculations, it has been far more than a quarter of an hour since we came in, and I don't know if Lu Mingchuan has successfully contacted Lu Zhao.
Either way, it's not okay to do anything now, if the other party is going to end us up, are we really just here waiting to die?
I'll have to go back again, and this time, I'll have to go on my own.
What I didn't expect was that at this time, the elevator door was opened again, and everyone's eyes were looking into the elevator.
"Damn, I thought the elevator had sent the black-hearted boss up again."
"yes, this empty elevator won't go up and down all the time, will it?"
"I'll see the hanging."
……
I was shocked, they all said that the elevator was empty, but why did I see a few people standing in the elevator?
They were relatively old, kind and kind, standing quietly in the elevator, as if waiting for something.
I immediately said, "Everyone sit down according to the formation pattern I taught you before, and I'll go down to find out the situation and find a way out." ”
"I'll go with you, and many people will have a good look." Mr. Jiang still has a conscience.
I shook my head: "No, I'm a bit of a Taoist, even if I encounter something, I'm not afraid, it's inconvenient to bring you, don't worry, the Lu outside is always the manager of the Lu Group, he will save everyone out in the shortest possible time, believe me, believe in Mr. Lu." ”
At this time, I found out that Lu Mingxuan's identity is really easy to use, in Jiangcheng, when the Lu Group is mentioned, it is a reassuring pill.
After explaining all this, I stepped into the elevator, then turned to face the elevator door, and waited for the elevator door to close slowly, my back straight, and a stream of cool air rushed to the back of my head.
Being in a confined space with a few spirits really challenged my mental endurance.
"We're running out of time."
Behind me, a female voice suddenly sounded, which startled me, and the words that came out were quite terrifying, and I didn't dare to look back.
But I heard her say: "We try to communicate with people, dream and so on, but there are fewer and fewer souls among us who can still speak human language, and tonight may be the last night of our existence in this heaven and earth." ”
"We don't beg to get out of this building, we just hope that after this night, after the ashes are gone, you can help us take the ashes out, the sky burial, the sea burial or whatever, in short, if you can raise it, don't cause trouble to your family, and I hope they can see through it like us in the future."
"The cemetery or something, it's not important, the important thing is reincarnation, don't bury your chance of reincarnation for a handful of ashes."
I jerked my head back and looked at the old woman behind me, who had been talking all along, and the others, perhaps having forgotten how to speak, couldn't communicate with me.
I quickly asked, "What happened to you, what is it that is controlling you?" ”
"There's no way, you can't help us, we just ask you to bring our last wish to our relatives, it's enough." The old woman said.
"What about tonight's reincarnation? Aren't you planning to have a baby? I asked.
The old grandmother laughed and said: "We are not evil ghosts, we will not do the lack of virtue such as taking the fetus, everything we did before was to escape, but now there is not enough time." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator stopped, and an old grandfather beside the old grandmother roared, and his soul instantly exploded, turning into a black mist and disappearing.
Immediately, I was pushed out of the elevator by a force, and there was a vast white space around me, I didn't know how many floors I was on, but I understood that the reason why the elevator was able to stay on the nineteenth floor again just now and send me here was because the old man was controlling it with all his ghost power, and his limit was here.
My heart is very sour, and I feel a little blamed.
I was wrong in my inference before, I thought that Grandma Meng's group of ghosts wanted to take advantage of tonight's opportunity to take action in order to reincarnate, but they were a group of good ghosts, and the evil was just people's hearts.
I didn't have time to think too much, so I collected my emotions and stood on the edge of the railing and looked down.
The white expanse below, with no bottom in sight, and the same upwards.
Where the hell is that boss? Is he good or bad?
If he had really controlled all this, he would have been hiding in a dark corner and watching my every move, waiting for twelve o'clock in the night to come, and when the time came, his action would officially begin.
What exactly is he doing all this for?
Underground!
I suddenly remembered the statue enshrined on the nineteenth floor, the thing with the body of a dragon head and a snake!
Lu Mingchuan told me before that the land of the Splendid Homeland is basically a lake, and the deepest part of the lake can reach a depth of more than ten meters underground, so is there a god who once guarded one side in this lake?
The mountain has a mountain god, the water has a water god, the boss moved people's nests, of course, you have to worship people to keep safe, and the geographical location of this building is likely to be the deepest part of the lake, so those souls that are controlled in this building are considered offerings to this person?
The more I thought about it, the clearer my thoughts became, and just as I was immersed in my speculative thinking, my eyes suddenly flickered.
The flicker was so fast that I thought I was dazzled, and I looked up to see the golden tree not far in front of me.
