Chapter 47: Exploring the Haunted House at Night (I)
I don't know what the definition of a haunted house is, but I do know that it must meet at least four criteria.
First, the times must be long-standing; the second is to be deserted and empty; third, to die a person; Finally, there must be weirdness.
Obviously, this building has met the previous three conditions, but the fourth, will it have it?
Tonight is a good day with no stars and no moon, which is very suitable for climbing over the wall.
By ten o'clock, all the people were gathered in front of the building.
I looked around a little, this building that I had imagined dozens of times in my mind, its shape was actually not old, and even had a slight Western taste, but it was because of this foreign smell that it looked strange in the dark night.
The house, which had been uninhabited for nearly two years, had been vacated seven months ago, and the surrounding area was quiet, and the lights of the nearby buildings were also obscured by the billboards, and the whole building was lonely, exuding a dilapidated death-like atmosphere.
Climbing over the fence, the iron fence gate leading to the staircase turned out to be locked.
"What should I do?" Shen Ke asked.
"It's a pity that I can't get in, let's go home and sleep!" Zhang Lu, who was scared and trembling, suddenly became happy, and when she saw me staring at her, she smiled mockingly at me, and made a helpless gesture while laughing.
But when I laughed too, she felt uneasy, and I said lightly, "Have you ever heard of a thing?" It was a very thin wire, and if it was twisted to a certain extent, it could open many locks that were not well worked. I happened to meet my cousin who was a criminal policeman in the neighborhood at noon today, and it happened that he had the desire to be a master today, and then it was very unfortunate that I learned this technique. ”
"What happened to be a coincidence, you obviously have been planning for a long time!" Zhang Lu shouted dissatisfiedly.
I smiled at her and pulled the wire out of my pocket and tossed it up.
"Wait...... Wait a minute! This time it was Wang Feng who shouted, and she said in surprise: "It's a crime for you to pick the lock like this!" ”
I turned my head very curiously and asked, "For someone who stepped on my shoulder and was the first to climb into the wall, does she still have a position to mention the word crime?" ”
"This ...... These are two different things! Wang Feng blushed and quibbled.
"And what about the front page of the school newspaper?" I said with a smile.
At this time, only a "click" was heard, and the fence gate opened. The staircase of the black hole no longer had any barrier, stretching naked in front of our eyes, and a chill suddenly entered my body for no reason, and I shivered and looked up.
The staircase turned out to be spiral, and I was even more curious, who designed this building? Only then did I remember that the data given to me by Shen Ke did not mention the designer, and even the landlord did not record it. This is indeed a very illogical place for the detailed and somewhat strange investigative data.
I stepped inside, stepping up the stairs, but the remaining four were too late to step in.
"What? Scared? I asked, looking back.
Zhang Lu stared at me and said loudly, "Me? Of course, I won't be afraid, but I'm just thinking about whether I should step in with my left foot first or use my right foot first. ”
Shen Ke looked at me with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ye, do you think that when you open the fence gate, this building begins to exude a strange atmosphere?" ”
Can you elaborate on that? I don't quite know what you mean. I asked, puzzled.
"It's just a feeling, I can't describe it." Shen Ke shook his head, "But I always feel like something is going to happen." There seems to be something different about this building! ”
"Different?" I subconsciously looked around. This empty five-story building is dead and dissolved in the darkness of the night. The surroundings were silent, and even the sound of grasshoppers that could often be heard on September days was surprisingly gone.
Everything is like a dead building, with no signs of life at all, what is different about it? I don't think I'm a rough nervous person, but I don't feel anything out of the ordinary.
"You're too sensitive." I frowned and urged, "Come on in, there's still a lot of work to do tonight." ”
Darkness and viscous permeate the first layer. In the quiet of the night, the five of us moved gently. The dim orange flashlight shines crampedly on the road beneath your feet.
When I got to the first room, I opened the door with a wire as I had done. This is an ordinary three-bedroom layout, the room is a little messy, and discarded newspapers are thrown on the ground at random, all over the floor.
I carefully inspected the room from room to room, and even leaned on the floor to check it carefully. I was disappointed that it was a very ordinary house, and although it was slightly upscale, it was not as strange as I thought.
Zhang Lu first noticed my strange behavior, she grabbed me and asked, "Ye Bu Si, you guy seems to have something to hide from us from the beginning." Is there something of value hidden here, and you want to find it and swallow it for your own? ”
I smiled wryly, "Do you think I'm going to be someone who does that kind of thing?" ”
Zhang Lu said disdainfully: "Who knows the psychology of your rich people, maybe your family often does this kind of immoral thing to get rich!" ”
I glared at her, but I couldn't explain it. Since ancient times, the rich have climbed up by stepping on the heads of the poor, and who does not do anything that lacks virtue? Maybe my dad really did such a conscienceless thing.
I snorted weakly: "I think the most likely thing to do is you, you are imposing this kind of thing on the innocent me, maybe you are covering up that you think like this all day long!" ”
She laughed gracefully: "Hehe, what a weak confession, it seems that you really have a ghost in your heart." ”
"Ha, you husband and wife don't flirt." Xu Lu grinned and said, "Don't forget, we're still here!" ”
Zhang Lu immediately shouted with a faint flush: "Stinky Xiaolu, who is husband and wife with that bastard?" I'd rather marry a pig and a dog than marry this pedantic and sour guy! ”
What, I'm not a salt dish!
"But you always seem to have a good relationship!" Xu Lu smiled and pointed at the two of us.
Zhang Lu pursed his lips and threatened: "It's your eyes that have a problem!" Lu, if I say that again, I'll 'accidentally' shake that thing out! ”
"Don't!" Xu Lu blushed suddenly, she looked at someone carefully, and surrendered: "Yes, yes." How could our kind and charming, icy and jade, and icy and intelligent Miss Zhang Lu fall in love with the scoundrel Ye Buyu? It's true that I'm old and dizzy, and I'm blind! ”
"Hey...... I'm still here, and I can't even say such a thing! I clutched my head in exasperation.
Wang Feng and the others laughed. Shen Ke held back a smile and asked, "So what are you looking for?" Could it really be that the former occupants left behind a treasure or something? ”
"What the hell is going on in your brains, it's all about these cheap things!" I stared at these four guys with a big head.
"It's more exciting to think like this, Xiaoye, you're too old-fashioned!" Wang Feng laughed.
"Forget it, I'll find out the mystery." In the face of these guys who don't know what to say, sometimes it can really make me very tired.
I took a slow breath and said, "I read the materials more than a dozen times today, and I found a very interesting place. The data shows that the five-story building has six rooms on each floor, with a total of 30 rooms, and each room is without exception, a three-bedroom apartment with the same shape.
"But it's not strange here, remember how many people have died here, right? One hundred and thirty-seven, then logically speaking, each house should have more than four people dead, and even if you are lucky, you should be one out of one hundred and thirty-seven. But look at the tables I've listed! ”
I pulled out a piece of paper and put it under the light of a flashlight so they could see it.
Shen Ke and the others suddenly turned pale. Zhang Lu's frightened voice also trembled: "This ...... No! ”
"But that's just the way it is!" I waved my arms excitedly: "There are twenty-five rooms in this building, and there is actually not a single person who has died!" All the people died in the first room on the right hand on each floor. Each of these one hundred and thirty-seven people! ”
There was silence.
