The next morning, he and Sheng Chaoyang went to the residential building again to investigate, but the residents there went to the opposite side to buy breakfast early in the morning, and it was a little ridiculous that they had been going out early and returning late, and they didn't know why, in order to ask for a little more demolition money or to rest in the old place.

The new building is not far away, just a few streets away, and it is obvious that several families can get a house. But don't know why they're reluctant to leave.

Jian Du and Sheng Chaoyang went to breakfast, and they walked into the residential building with buns and soy milk in their pockets. Although there is no electricity and water in the residential building, there is still a water source to use at the construction site next door, and the people in the residential building have a good relationship with the people on the construction site and are willing to pay for the water, so they can go and fetch several buckets of water every day to use it.

They are all old people and children, some of whom have left with their parents, leaving the small ones behind, or those who can't be taken away to live in the building. Because the doors were open, some children could be seen doing their homework with candles.

Jian Jue asked Sheng Chaoyang, "When you came here a few days ago, was this like this?" ”

"Yes, the family I went to is a family of four, including the man of their family, who works at the construction site next door, and it is very convenient to move around." Sheng Chaoyang walked slowly, and he looked upstairs.

"What do you think this craft is called?"

"What are you talking about?" Jian Jue can't understand the person in front of him, and sometimes he will ask you a question very nervously.

Sheng Chaoyang said very seriously, he thought about it for a while, and continued: "You are not me, we think in different directions. I did step into the fourth floor that night, and if it wasn't my hallucination, it was real. Since it's true, I'm going to think about what tricks I can do that. ”

"Spatial overlap?" The corners of Jian Jue's eyes twitched twice unconsciously.

Sheng Chaoyang slowly stepped up the stairs, "Interesting, very interesting." Have you heard of the urban legend of counting stairs? Is that a reasonable explanation for spatial overlap? Sheng Chaoyang went up to the second floor and took Jian to recognize several residents, all of whom were owners with open doors and candles, "Only the elderly live in these families, and there is a child. ”

As he spoke, there was a child's laughter at the end of the hallway.

Sheng Chaoyang shook his head, "That's an auditory hallucination." ”

Jane was stunned, and he listened carefully to what seemed to be some rumors, with the characteristic echo of the corridor. There are also the sounds of chattering and chattering from the homes of several households, which seem to be far and near, flickering and flickering, and those voices will disappear only if you listen carefully.

Sheng Chaoyang took out two strangely long willow leaves, "Open your eyes and look at it, lest you hallucinate after wandering for a long time." ”

Jane disdainfully took the willow leaf to open her eyes, but when she opened her eyes, she still didn't see anything, only the people in the household, and some old people sat in rocking chairs watching TV.

"What's weird? It's just people watching TV. Jian Jue didn't care.

Sheng Chaoyang suddenly said to him, "Huh? Are you really? There is no electricity in this building, who is watching TV? ”

Jian Jue reacted, "Damn! He saw that the picture of the television was blurred, and he couldn't even see the old man's face no matter how he looked, as if his face was covered with a layer of fog.

"There is also a third floor, and the third floor is basically empty, so it is said that there are two residents, and they don't often live here." Sheng Chaoyang took him to the third floor, obviously it was daylight outside, but the third floor was still pitch black, and he needed a flashlight to see the road. The whitewashed walls and broken concrete floors are like a quiet dungeon. There was a door open, and there was no one inside, only one household, and only two old people sat in the dark, sitting quietly.

Jane never bothered them, just walked by and didn't look at them.

There was an old man's head, and it hung down silently.

"How do you know here?" Jian Jue asked Sheng Chaoyang the first question, "You're just here to do the first seven?" ”

"What do you suspect me for? In addition to doing the first seven, I also have other commissions. "Sheng Chaoyang only accosted when he asked Jian, he always concealed something, but only if you found out, he told you to listen, so that you had no choice.

Sheng Chaoyang took out a letter, and he carried it with him. He said: "There is an old man who asked me to investigate his missing brother before he died, and you guessed it right. He didn't wait for me to finish my investigation before leaving, so I helped him with the first seven by the way. Haha, the world is unpredictable, he was fine yesterday, and after a day, he sat on the chair. ”

There was a dilapidated wooden chair in the corridor, and Sheng Chaoyang happened to shine on it, so he said, "That's it, he just sat in such a place, his head hung down, and he lost his breath." Jian Jue raised his eyebrows, "Okay, the festival is good." Why did he ask you to go to his brother? I still don't get it? ”

"I don't understand, he left without making it clear, what can I do. For seven days, I stayed here, and the residents still recognized it clearly, and I also understood their living habits. Do you know the fourth layer? I wasn't stupid enough to run into evil spirits, but I found them through the details of the old man's mouth. But I guess I'm lucky, and I will come out after a rounding. Sheng Chaoyang was on the third floor, walking while telling Jian Du a story.

He came to the stairs on the fourth floor and said: "The old man's surname is He, his brother's name is He Jian, and his name is He Qiang, both of whom are skilled workers who built a steel mill 60 years ago. At that time, they were still with their masters, so they didn't continue to study, and they didn't go to school in the city. Although they had already entered the factory, they were still too young, only fourteen years old, and when they came home, they went up to play on the roof. At that time, his brother was playing hide and seek with other peers in the building, and that day, his friends saw him run up to the fourth floor and never come down. The whole family cried and searched, but they didn't even find the body, and after more than 60 years, the old man He Qiang still hasn't forgotten his brother. After a long time, He Qiang also became a family. When he went upstairs by chance, he heard a child crying, but he couldn't hear the crying, and the resident of No. 5 on the third floor pulled him into the house and told him not to listen. It was the soul who was trapped at the staircase and couldn't get out, crying, deliberately leading people to repeat the past. At that time, he suspected that his brother had fallen into the way of ghosts. ”

Sheng Chaoyang sighed, he paused for a moment before continuing: "Old man He Qiang actually doesn't have to find his brother, but said that if I can find it, I hope to lure his brother's soul out, don't keep wandering at the staircase, you can't go out for eternity." ”

Jian Jue sighed and didn't say much. He patted Sheng Chaoyang on the shoulder, "You are really conscientious, and you have been investigating for seven days in a row." ”

"Everyone else has paid for it, and I don't fulfill my responsibilities, isn't that a loss of yin virtue for myself?" Sheng Chaoyang suddenly covered Jian Jie's mouth, "Don't make a sound!" You listen! ”

On the stairs, where the flashlight couldn't shine, there was a faint cry. The sound of choking, staccato and staccato, with the characteristic echo of an open building.

"Woo woo ~ ~~~."

"What's that sound?" Jian Jue asked in a low voice, "Crying?" ”

Sheng Chaoyang listened for a while and laughed, "Hahahaha, Jian Decision, Haha, if you go up like this, you won't be able to go down." ”

"What's so funny?" Jian Jue frowned, "Are you quiet?" ”

Sheng Chaoyang stuck a talisman on the wall by the stairs, pasted it firmly, and said to Jian Jie: "Because we have to go up, Jian Jie, this is a good opportunity." ”

"What? Right now? Jian Jue didn't prepare anything, he was a little flustered, and he didn't adapt to Sheng Chaoyang's style of acting, thinking of one set is another.

"Haha, don't be afraid, Jian Du, you prepare, after all, we are all in it for money. You also want to investigate the situation in the building, don't you? This is a good opportunity, did you miss it, or in the middle of the night, yin and yang staggered, then wouldn't it be fatal? Sheng Chaoyang faced Jian Du with a strange smile, and laughed twice from time to time.

Jian Jue gritted his teeth, although Sheng Chaoyang was weird, but it made sense, it was better to hit the evil during the day than at night, in case it was night, and he was frightened, and the three souls were lost and the two souls were whining and mourning.

"What are you going to do to lead the way?" Sheng Chaoyang was still staring upstairs.

"Well, let's use the old way, incense ash leads the way." Jian Jue took out the sealed incense burner again, put it at the corner of the corridor, lit three incense sticks, and burned them for a while, still one long and two short. Jian Jue shook his head, "Isn't this going to happen?" ”

"If the incense is normal, it's useless for us to go upstairs."

Jian Jue grabbed a handful of incense ashes, sprinkled them on the stairs, and sprinkled them carefully to get out. It spread all the way up the stairs, and then Jian decided to put the bag on his back and nodded, "Let's go"

"A stick of incense, we are very hanging." Sheng Chaoyang also saw the three sticks of incense, but he proposed to go, and he had no choice but to follow.

went up to the fourth floor, Sheng Chaoyang went to No. 4 on the fourth floor, turned on the flashlight and looked, "Look at Jian Du, the residents here, the others are all written on the fifth floor, only the fourth floor is written here." However, Sheng Chaoyang looked around, and his face changed randomly, and it turned out that where the flashlight shone, the house numbers were all No. 3 on the fourth floor and No. 5 on the fourth floor.

"Not good!" Although Sheng Chaoyang said this, he still smiled, "It seems that I really came to the fourth floor." ”

Jian Jue asked him, "Maybe it's the fourth floor?" ”

Sheng Chaoyang took him downstairs, and Jian Jue could only follow downstairs, but when he went downstairs, he found that the floor number on the third floor was No. 3 on the fourth floor and No. 2 on the fourth floor!

And all the doors were tightly closed, and there were doors on the third floor that were wide open before.

Almost without any psychological preparation, Jian Jue was caught in the cycle of the corridor, he hurriedly climbed upstairs to see, it was still the house number on the fourth floor, whether it was downstairs or downstairs, it was the fourth floor!

"That's what I'm talking about, there's a hidden fourth floor in this building." Sheng Chaoyang was caught up for the second time, and he knew the method, "The last time I was trapped alone, I walked out because I had a guide talisman. ”

"I see, but how can this happen in this residential building?"

"Didn't you say it, space folding?" Sheng Chaoyang seemed to be still joking.
