Chapter 4 Chapter 54 The Past
"Firefly, take the cloud worm and give her medical treatment." Zhang Chen saw that the middle-aged woman sitting in the rocking chair had not completely lost her vital signs, so he thought of a cloud insect that could treat the host.
A milky white flesh worm was put into the middle-aged woman's mouth from the hand of the insect firefly, and after a while, the other party's face was bloody, and after Zhang Chen used his pseudo-blood demon body to absorb the blood on the woman's body clean, the other party almost came to his senses.
"Hello Auntie, we're here to help you." Zhang Chen naturally said very politely.
"Haha, I'm hopeless. Paper can't hold the fire, and what you have done wrong will one day be retaliated against. Now I've hurt another person, and I'm really guilty." As she spoke, the middle-aged woman suddenly got up from her chair excitedly, came to the futon of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and knelt down.
"Auntie, why don't you tell me the details of the matter, we may have a way to help you solve it." Zhang Chen knew that this kind of person's spirit was on the verge of collapse, and it was useless to talk too much nonsense. So he wrapped the middle-aged woman kneeling on the ground with telekinesis and moved it directly to the sofa.
"You... Are you an accomplice to the boy?" The woman looked at Zhang Chen and the others in horror, especially the white hair of the insect firefly made the other party feel even more frightened.
"I said we're here to help you. If you tell us what happened, maybe we can help you cut it off." Zhang Chen hinted at the women with a little mental control, because he is currently very unfamiliar with mental control, and if he completely controls the other party, it will consume unnecessary yuan power, which will have a great impact on the battle for a while.
"Okay then." The woman's frightened gaze calmed under Zhang Chen's suggestion, and then slowly opened her mouth and began to recall the past
"This house was the first batch of buildings built in the Inner Third Ring Road, because my family was relatively wealthy at that time, and the price of this house was not high, so I decided to buy it all, except for myself living in this house. The other eleven rooms will be rented and sold."
"Due to the rapid development of the urban area, the commercial coverage was soon extended to the inner third ring road. Many outsiders who come to work in the city rent a house with me, and they can earn back their capital in two years."
"It didn't take long for the young man in the room on the left side of the top floor to move out from me because he had gone to another company. It just so happened that a couple contacted me that day, saying that they wanted to rent on the top floor for a long time, and after looking at the house, they paid me a year's rent directly."
At that time, I didn't ask much, thinking that they must have come from the countryside to work in the city, and because their wives were pregnant, they needed a stable and comfortable environment. Who knows, this is the beginning of the nightmare......"
The middle-aged woman said this, her eyes full of remorse.
Within a few months, the pregnant woman gave birth. As a host, I'm still friendly to the tenants here, and when the family came back from the hospital that day, I took some of the fruits from home to visit."
"Who knew that the man who opened the door had a gloomy face and tried to turn me away after taking my fruit. I thought something was wrong, so I went into the room under the pretext of checking the water meter for the month, and when I passed by their dormitory, I saw the woman holding her newborn baby, but the baby's hands looked strange. After carefully counting, I found that the baby's hands were actually six fingers, no wonder the father at the door looked like this."
"After the wife finished the confinement, she and her husband went to work normally. However, the two of them, who were originally very friendly, did not greet other tenants or me from that day on, and sometimes they would not even raise their heads. At first, I thought that the two couples would have a deformed child to become like this, but it turned out to be completely different from what I imagined......"
"When the child was about two years old, the tenant who lived across the street from the family reported to me that there were often the sound of things breaking and screaming and crying in the middle of the night. Out of courtesy, I didn't ask the other party what was going on, and I hope I, as a landlord, can come forward to reflect the situation."
"I went to the family that afternoon, and when the door opened, both husband and wife seemed to have not slept all night, with very obvious dark circles under their eyes, and the two of them, who had just turned thirty, looked about the same as forty years old. However, when I told them about the tenant's reaction, the husband and wife were kind enough to pay attention to it and hurriedly closed the door. And the moment the door was shut, I saw a little boy with an ugly face standing by the door of the dormitory, staring straight at me."
"It turned out that it was not even a year before the two tenants on the fourth floor began to report to me about the crying and noise coming from the house on the fifth floor in the middle of the night. The tenants also began to discuss privately whether it was because of their son's deformity that the couple would abuse children in the middle of the night."
"Rumors about this conjecture are getting bigger and bigger. The tenants came up to me and said they wanted to go to that room at night to find out, and if it was really child abuse, it was really a big deal. In order to prevent these old tenants from leaving, I took the spare key that night, went up to the top floor with a few able-bodied male tenants, and opened the door."
Who knew that when I opened the door, I saw countless yellow runes scattered on the ground, and at this moment, the cry of the child came from the bedroom of the couple. The tenants swarmed up and smashed open the locked bedroom door to see two gray-haired elderly couples about to throw a three-year-old boy into a burning brazier full of rune paper. After stopping the two couples, they rescued the child from the brazier, but because his face was burned, he died on the spot.".
[,! "The couple, who were only thirty years old, now look like they are in their sixties, and after being stopped by the tenants, they keep shouting excitedly, 'Finally killed this damn youkai'.
The middle-aged woman couldn't help but sigh deeply as she said this.
That night, the police took the couple away, and the boy, who died of burns, was also towed away by a car from the crematorium. Later, I heard that the couple had been identified as having a mental disorder and were sent to a psychiatric hospital for recuperation. I thought it was over, but who knew that one night half a year later, something strange would happen."
"I was woken up by the sound of a siren outside the house, and the police came to the door and said that the tenant on the top floor had called the police, saying that two bodies had been found in his rented room, and asked me to go up with the spare key to find out. When I opened the door, an extremely heavy smell of blood wafted out, and finally the corpses of a couple who should have been locked up in a mental hospital and a shivering old man hiding in a corner were found in the room."
"That white-haired old man is suddenly a wage earner in his early twenties who just moved in a few days ago. However, there was no progress in the case, and the tenant also went crazy and checked out. When you left, you kept saying something in front of me, 'There will be a voice from eleven o'clock to the beginning, don't be curious.'"
"Later, whenever the tenants who stayed in that room would report this to me the other day, but it would be as little as three days and as long as five days. Tenants will be silent. Most will be missing, and only a few will come running to check out with gray hair and a mental breakdown, saying much the same thing."
"Naturally, the local police also knew about it, and at first they thought it was me who had done something to the tenants. However, there was no evidence, and in the end, the rented room on the top floor could only be sealed and the case was closed."
"These things have happened, and the rumors about the haunting of this building are naturally clear to the neighbors in their hearts. Fewer and fewer people are coming to rent, and even some of my old tenants have moved out. And now more than a decade has passed, and the police seizure order has expired. I decided to clean the house and then publish the rental information, hoping to use the facts to make up for my losses."
"But on the way to cleaning, I happened to find a dusty diary under the bed of the former couple, which recorded the life of the little boy after he was born."
At the beginning of the diary, it was written that despite the fact that the child was born with a disability, the couple decided to raise him with all their own flesh and blood. But as the children grew up, the couple would come home from work to find that the house was in a mess, and at first they thought they had been thieves, but after tidying up their things, they found that nothing was missing."
"When feeding the boys, there will be something floating and the faucet will turn on automatically. At one point, the boy even bit off his mother's while feeding. The couple found some charlatans and lion at home, but to no avail. In the end, he made up his mind to kill the little boy with his own hands."
"I was also surprised when I read it, it seems that my original idea was correct, and the problem is indeed the deformed boy. I didn't find anything unusual in the process of cleaning, thinking that after so many years, a qiē should be restored. So, the rental information was posted at a low price in the housing center, and who knew that the matter was not over at all......"
Zhang Chen was also a little surprised when he heard this, presumably the ghost in the room on the top floor was transformed by the little boy. However, according to the landlord's account, the little boy seems to have had a special ability before he was born, and this is the first time he has encountered it. It's no wonder that he has had such a peculiar spatial ability less than twenty years after his death.
"Could it be the rare species that Liu Nuo said?" Zhang Chen pondered and asked at the same time
"How many days have the tenants on the top floor been in?"
"Today is the evening of the third day." The landlord said anxiously.
"Three days at the least, five days at the most? I don't know if there is any salvation, the worm is ready, let's go to the top floor to see the situation......"
