In the boxy living room, the decoration is no different from that of an ordinary house, outside the bright four-open glass windows, the flow of people on the road is bustling, it is the rush hour after work.

It is clear that the house is located in the downtown area. Outside, the streets are lined with residential areas and shops, and it's hard to associate it with words like independence or loneliness.

But if we look a little further and look at the exterior of the whole house, we can see that it is a detached apartment house without upstairs and downstairs, just like in foreign movies. The house is shrunk between the buildings on both sides, very far back.

There is a small lawn in front of the building, which leads directly to a not too narrow brick pavement. Just as far as the road goes, it doesn't feel like it fits the road outside.

Indeed, in the past decade or two, the city's major traffic arteries have undergone many transformations, and the road surface has become smoother and wider. However, this square brick pavement still retains the appearance of the seventies and eighties in people's memory, could it be that the city government has forgotten it?

Who of us can know such a thing! Anyway, the old landscape of this corner has been preserved, and walking through the road that can make memories rise in people's hearts, we can see several steps in the low ground, about four or five steps, and above the stairs is the door of the house we are about to enter.

Push open the normal security door, and if you are a first-time enterer, you will be greeted by four eyes staring at you. All of a sudden, you will feel a horror come out of your heart, and you will not be able to step through the door right away, no matter what.

But it's not some bizarre monster staring at you, it's two black goats lying prone on a post. Except for their eyes, all the other parts of them are integrated with the plates under their feet, even the hooves are pure black, and the two pure black horns are raised high, coupled with their stubborn gaze on the target, it makes people feel that in the next second, they will be pushed out of the door by animals that should not be in the city apartment.

After the initial scare, the fear of the black goat will slowly disappear, because if you take a second look, you will find that they are not alive, but two extremely realistic sculptures. At this point, many people will laugh it off and then step into the apartment as if they were completely unaffected.

However, the allusions of the two black goat sculptures do not end there, as the owner of the house uses them as a forbidden symbol. That is, guests entering cannot walk directly between the black goats, you have to go around them in order to rest in a normal room.

The living room is just behind them, and you can see the beautiful chandeliers, beautiful tables and chairs, lovely flower decorations, and the soft sofas and convenient appliances. One of the most desirable is the huge floor-to-ceiling window directly behind the black goat, giving the living room a sunny feeling.

This kind of decoration is very suitable for those white-collar workers who are cheerful and lively and have a different obsession with the city.

However, we must not be attracted by these things, and we must return our eyes to the strange animals that represent darkness. Walking across that insurmountable border, you will find that under your feet is actually a staircase that blends in with the black. The staircase has neither handrails nor warning signs.

The partitions around it were all as if they had been splashed with thick ink, and there was not a trace of other color. That's why the black goat is stopping you from moving forward: a stranger who enters for the first time is likely to cause injury by rolling down the stairs because they can't see the stairs clearly.

In fact, the way not to get hurt is very simple, the small tail of each black goat controls half of the light, as long as you press the tail of the two black goat sculptures at the same time, then the entire staircase leading to the basement will become an elegant blue-gray, and the surface of each staircase will also use different lights and shades to prevent you from making visual errors.

At this time, you can feel free to venture into the basement of this house.

There is no door in the basement, and you can walk down the stairs to a living room that is even more spacious than the top. There isn't much decoration in this living room, there are two rows of wall lamps on the left and right, and the lighting is dim yellow. There are no chandeliers in the middle, just some decorations that resemble eight-legged spiders.

There is only a low cabinet underneath, placed in the corner of the living room. There was nothing else, and the dark red marble floor was as creepy as a fiery path to hell.

The top of the low cabinet was also empty, and the drawers were open and hung diagonally in wooden frames, and thick dust had accumulated on the surface and in the drawers. On the wall opposite the low cabinet, there are two doors at each end.

The color of the door blends in with the wall on the side, and it is impossible to see it unless you look closely. The weirdest thing about this house is inside these two doors. As we have seen, in the minds of ordinary people, a door can only represent a room.

It's completely different here, the two doors lock the four rooms directly, which means that behind these two doors, there are four smaller doors. This inline design is simply inconvenient, and it can even be said that there is no benefit at all. Maybe it's the owner's little fetish!

Anyway, whatever the reason, let's go ahead and see. Each of the four small doors inside was covered with a huge number that almost half of the door was obscured, as if the occupant was highly myopic.

The first door, the door sign reads: Jiuyin, from 6 a.m. to 12 noon, please prepare plenty of water.

The second door, the door number reads: Foolish, from 12 noon to 18 o'clock in the evening, the stones and grass are under my control.

The third door, which reads: "Rotten She, from 6 p.m. to 0 p.m., offers plenty of meat.

The fourth door, the door sign reads: Sealed, from 0:00 in the middle of the night to 6:00 in the morning, all guests are refused.

Not only were the doors of the four rooms firmly locked, but they were also entangled in chains, and no one could enter except their own masters.

In short, we had to stop here, no matter how curious we were, we couldn't go in and visit without the owner's permission. So! Now we have to get out of this weird underground space and go back upstairs. Because there was a knock at the door upstairs, very loud and urgent.

It was 12:20 p.m., and it was the time for the owner of the second door. After the sound of slipper footsteps in the living room, the door of the house was opened.

The man who opened the door was a handsome young man, probably in his early 30s, with neat short hair, a few strands of bangs hanging diagonally on his forehead, very white skin, and a soft face, but his facial features were slightly tough. Well, anyway, the overall temperament is what we commonly call a warm man.
