CHAPTER 4 CHAPTER 16 LIFE AND DEATH

"The whole building feels weird."

Zhang Chen raised his head and looked at the 24-storey elevator apartment in front of him, always feeling a little strange. Especially on the 17th floor, there is still gray gas that can be seen by yourself.

"But this aura doesn't exactly look like a ghost, it's mixed with other things. It's weird. Forget it, let's go up and see how it goes."

Zhang Chen walked straight into the building, but the electronic door to enter was locked. Unfortunately, at this time, a white-haired old woman was carrying a basket and was buying vegetables and preparing to go home.

"Boy, I've never seen you before? Whose family are you the son of?" The old grandmother looked at Zhang Chen wearing a school uniform and asked kindly.

"Huh? I'm here to visit my cousin, Sun Zijing, and he lives on the 13th floor." Zhang Chen hurriedly replied.

"Is the surname 'Sun'? That should be the son of Sun Ming on the 13th floor. Hasn't their family moved away for a while?" There was a hint of timidity in the old grandmother's eyes, and she was discovered by Zhang Chen.

"Huh? Moved away? No, I didn't know, I used to come to my cousin. It's just that the phone can't get through recently, so I came over to take a look. And my cousin gave me all the keys before." Zhang Chen said this deliberately, and shook it in his hand with his key, so that the old grandmother would naturally not doubt his identity, and then see how the old woman answered.

When the old grandmother heard Zhang Chen say this, her brows furrowed even deeper, and she said slowly.

"In fact, most people in this unit say that the people of the Sun family moved away because of work. But the night before their family went to the empty building, because I was living upstairs in their house, I obviously heard a loud noise downstairs, and it didn't look like I was moving."

"Who knows, the next day, I won't see any one from their family. Did you say it could be in the middle of the night to move? So I've always thought it was strange that you said that they really didn't move. I was particularly impressed by Sun Ming's person, because he helped me go upstairs when there was a power outage in the community, otherwise how could I, an old bone, climb the 18th floor."

After listening to Zhang Chen, he was basically able to affirm the idea of blocking Xinzhen, and outside the school, the other party was indeed a one-on-one elimination of traces.

"Grandma, let's go up together, I'm still going to go to my cousin's house to have a look."

"Well, but you have to be careful, young man, the reason why I suspect that this Sun family is not moving or if there is another reason. Since that night, the 17th floor has been a little abnormal. First the elevator can only reach the 16th floor at most, and then another family on the 17th floor called a moving company to leave here the next day, and I heard that many people will hear the sound of things breaking inside when they pass through this 17th floor after 10 o'clock in the evening."

When the old grandmother said this, her hands holding the basket were soaked with sweat.

"It's okay, I'm not going at 10 p.m., what's going to happen in the middle of the day." Zhang Chen helped the grandmother carry the basket and walked into the elevator together. The old lady gently pressed the "16" button, and the elevator slowly went up.

"Ding Dong!" When the elevator reached the sixteenth floor, it shook slightly, and when the elevator door opened, a small poke of fine sand fell out of the elevator and scattered it in the corner of the elevator.

"Gray sand?" When Zhang Chen went out, he glanced at the sand sprinkled on the corner of the elevator in surprise.

"What's wrong, young man?" The old grandmother saw that Zhang Chen was standing at the elevator door and did not move, so she asked softly.

"It's okay, let's go." Zhang Chen carried the basket and followed the grandmother up the stairs of the safe passage. Walking into this corridor, which is only one floor away from the 17th floor, the strange aura is already obvious. The most important thing is that this aura can make Zhang Chen feel dangerous.

"Grandma, do you know where this fortunate sand came from?" When Zhang Chen walked to the 17th floor, he saw the door of the safe passage, sprinkled with some gray sand exactly the same as in the elevator.

"I don't know, it's been like this a long time ago, some people say it's cement sandification. But that's the case with only these 17 floors. By the way, it was only after the night of the Sun family that the sand slowly appeared."

Zhang Chen nodded, first sent the grandmother home, and then returned to the 17th floor.

When you exit the safe passage, you will be able to see the doors of the houses on the left and right. Zhang Chen immediately determined that the left side belonged to the Sun family, not to mention the strange aura concentration, just looked at the large pool of gray sand scattered at the door on the left, and he could determine it.

"It's not naturally occurring sand." Zhang Chencong grabbed a handful of gray sand in front of the door with his hand and rubbed it with his fingers, because Yuan Li transformed his brain domain, when he focused his attention on the sand, he saw the shape of the sand like a microscope.

The sand that I hold in my hand is smooth and spherical, without a single edge or corner, and each grain is exactly the same size. And it also exudes a strange aura that makes Zhang Chen feel dangerous.

"What is this? Take it back and study it for Yang Yuan or Plug Xinzhen." Zhang Chen poured the handful of sand he was holding in his hand into the Qiankun bag on his waist.

"Click!" With a bang, the door was opened by Zhang Chen. After tearing off the seal, he walked inside. Because the windows and curtains in the house are tightly closed, it is difficult for light to shine in, and the whole room is very dark.

"Rustle." As soon as Zhang Chen stepped in, he stepped on the sand on the inside of the room, rustling.

I tried to turn on the light switch on the wall first, and sure enough, the room had already lost power. After thinking about it, no one would come, Zhang Chen Nianli directly opened all the windows.

"Seems slightly with the family. [,! Some of the connections have been emptied." Zhang Chen walked into the hall and found that there was only a school of furniture in the hall, and all the small parts were not emptied.

"This should be Sun Zijing's room." Zhang Chen walked into a bedroom and found a lot of posters of NBA stars on the wall, and an old basketball under the desk.

I rummaged through the desk and found that there was nothing in each drawer, and the only notebook on the desk seemed to be brand new, without any notes on it. Zhang Chen checked the room again with his mental strength, and found that there were no clues, so he went to another bedroom.

"This is his parents' bedroom, how can there be so much sand in it?" As soon as Zhang Chen opened the door, he saw a layer of gray sand on the ground, and the residual breath in it was even more amazing.

Zhang Chen was highly concentrated, and carefully inspected the room, but found nothing, the wardrobe was empty, the bedside table was empty, and there was nothing on the bed.

"There should be some suspicious clues in this kind of place, right?" Zhang Chen carefully inspected the room again with his telekinesis, but when he glanced at the big bed in front of him, Zhang Chen smiled slightly.

"Up!" Zhang Chen directly turned over the two-meter-two big bed in front of him, but the situation under the bed stunned him for a moment.

At the bottom of the wooden bed, the text on it was densely packed, as if it was half scratched with a fingernail, and it was all a sentence, "Save my son."

On the marks scratched by his nails, Zhang Chen could also feel the obvious ghost aura remaining on it. Obviously, it is Sun Zijing's parents who left this trace.

"It seems that Sun Zijing's parents were very obsessed with their son at that time, and with this information, it seems that they can conclude that their son may not be dead, but it can also be that his soul is trapped after death and cannot go to prison to be reincarnated." Zhang Chen pinched his chin and thought.

"That's all you can know from this family. But why do you have to leave a message in such a hidden place? It stands to reason that the two of them, who have turned into ghosts, can go to other more obvious places to provide clues."

Zhang Chen was a little puzzled by the information left under this bed board, but I am afraid that there is only so much information from here at present. So I was going to go to other places related to Sun Zijing to take a look, and walked towards the door while thinking.

However, just as Zhang Chen was thinking about the problem and gently opened the door to go out, a man in a black cloak appeared at the door, less than two centimeters away from Zhang Chen.

"Danger!" The moment the door opened, a wrinkled withered arm slowly stretched out from the black cloak, heading towards Zhang Chen.

"Why can't you move?" Zhang Chen saw that the cloaked man in front of him was as slow as an old man stretching out his hand, but when he wanted to move his body, he was moving at a slower speed.

"He'll get caught if he goes on like this, no." Zhang Chen could feel the extremely dangerous aura emanating from this hand, and if he was caught, he would most likely die.

"There should be only a small area affected." Zhang Chen observed that only his body seemed to be affected and moved very slowly, but the curtain of the window was blown by the wind and was swinging normally.

"Die." A series of telekinetic compressed air knives condensed from a place far away from him, and shot straight at the cloaked man.

However, when dozens of invisible blades flew within half a meter of the cloaked man, their speed slowed down, as slow as a snail.

At this moment, the wrinkled withered arm had already touched Zhang Chen's abdomen, and from the moment the nails touched the position, Zhang Chen's abdomen began to slowly sand and smear.

"Lao Tzu and you will die together." At this rate of diffusion, I'm afraid that in less than twenty seconds, I will become a mess of sand. At this critical juncture, Zhang Chen used his mental power to capture the gas valve found in this room when he entered the house before. Rely on perseverance to cut off the gas pipe, and then rub the air hard.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and a firelight could be seen from the outside of the community from the 17th floor, and the windows and walls of the house were all blown open.

Under the broken cement and gravel not far from the gate, the sandification of Zhang Chen's abdomen stopped, but it left a large blood-red hole, and even the organs in Zhang Chen's body could be seen from the hole. In addition, the left arm was also blown off by the explosion just now. Zhang Chen, who is lying on the ground now, can be described as dying.

Luckily, he didn't faint, and the water pipe was blown open by the explosion. With the last shred of perseverance, he hydrates his body, and at the same time assimilates the water gushing out of the broken water pipe with his body.

The injury was very severe, Zhang Chen tried hard to fill his body with water, and gradually his face improved a lot.

However, he had just recovered from his abdominal injuries and had not had time to repair his left arm. The guy in the black cloak was already standing in front of Zhang Chen, stretching out a pair of withered arms like death......
