"That's it?"

"Isn't that scary enough?" He Jin asked in surprise.

I shook my head, it seemed that Lu Xiaoling's judgment was not wrong, for the Heavenly Master, this was really a small matter.

However, such a thing is indeed incredible, and it is hard to imagine that such a thing could happen in this city today when the Great Xia Empire has become the second largest economy in the world.

But who is to blame?

Is it to blame the old man's children?

The ancients said that the family has a high hall and does not travel far, but in this society, many young people go to other places, even foreign countries to work hard, leaving their elderly or twilight parents at home.

Is it because they are unfilial?

I can't put such a label on them, and in this increasingly competitive world, everyone doesn't have much choice.

That blames the neighbors?

Perhaps, if one of them had been a little concerned about the two old men, thinking about it a little more, or even just glancing at what was going on in the house through the window, such a tragedy might not have happened.

But there is no way to forcibly kidnap the shackles of morality on their neighbors, for whom it is certainly valuable to be able to lend a helping hand in times of crisis, but no one has imposed such an obligation on them. Everyone is exhausted after a day's work or study, and they don't have the energy to pay attention to strangers who are not related to them.

This social factory that gradually molds everyone into a screw is so ruthless, but this is the trend of social development, and we are powerless to resist.

"You still live here?" Lu Xiaoling asked.

"It's gone." He Jin shook his head. "I went back to school after this incident, but the landlord didn't check out the rent! The surrounding families who have the conditions to move have also moved away, but there are still a few families who have nowhere to move, and they are looking for people everywhere to find a way. ”

I looked at Lu Xiaoling.

"Give us your key, we'll let you know when it's done." I said to him.

"That's good!" He Jin immediately took out the key, and it seemed that he didn't want to stay in this place for a minute.

"Meow~"

There were cats barking again, so I asked, "There are a lot of cats around here?" ”

"There weren't so many of them before." He Jin shook his head. "I don't know what's going on these days, it's somehow going on."

He paused for a moment, hesitated and said, "Speaking of which, the old lady on the first floor used to like to feed these stray cats the most, could it be?" ”

"Don't think about it." Lu Xiaoling pushed him. "Go back to school!"

"How's that going to work! I'm going to have to treat you to a meal! He Jin said.

I looked at Lu Xiaoling, she was very bored, as if she was in a bad mood because she heard such a story, and it didn't look like she had the intention to catch up with her old classmates.

So I said to He Jin, "Another day, I still have to prepare something." ”

He Jin finally left, and the two of us stood at the door of the unit, facing the gate of 102.

The door was closed, and there was a police seal on it.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Lu Xiaoling asked.

Before I could answer, she had already taken out her tools and was about to pick the lock, but when her hand lightly touched the door, it opened on its own.

The door lock is broken.

I looked at her and got in front of her.

It's still noon, but the light in the room is poor, and it's eerie and uncomfortable.

This was not because of the ghost, but simply because the house was not well designed at the time and had problems with lighting.

Damp, cold, and exuding an indescribable smell of death.

There were things thrown on the floor, dead and dry maggots could be seen, an irregular circle was drawn in chalk in the bathroom on the left, and another one was painted on the bed in the bedroom in the front.

The miserable scene described by He Jin suddenly appeared vividly in my mind, and I could even imagine how desperate the old man lying on the bed was watching his wife fall to the ground, a little bit of lifeless. And he himself died slowly in what kind of torment.

Such a death was so brutal that it didn't strike me as strange that their ghosts had turned into ghosts.

But there wasn't much of a ghost in the room, and they were clearly not here.

"Shall we wait here, or shall we go upstairs?"

Lu Xiaoling shook her head: "Go upstairs, it's uncomfortable for me here." ”

My thoughts were the same as hers, not because of fear, but because of an extreme psychological awkwardness.

He Jin's room may not be as good as it gets, the boxes of instant noodles that he didn't throw away after eating, the ashtrays that can't be stuffed anymore, the dirty clothes and used toilet paper all over the floor, the stench in the room is more than the room just now, but at least it can make people feel alive.

"I should have let that guy clean up before leaving!" I felt a lot more relaxed and opened all the doors and windows.

There is really no place for people to sit, Lu Xiaoling frowned and swept the things on the ground into the bathroom with a broom, wrapped all the things on the bed in the quilt and threw them in the closet, and the room was finally able to breathe a little.

"People can be sloppy to such a point." She couldn't help but grumble. "Are you boys like that?"

"My room is very clean!"

"Your mom cleaned it for you, right?" She debunked mercilessly.

The only satisfying thing is that He Jin's computer can access the Internet, but the favorites are almost all URLs that good children can't read, I subconsciously looked at Lu Xiaoling, she looked indifferent, as if she didn't understand what those things were.

"Hmm~" I cleared my throat unnaturally. "What about the night?"

"You can do it yourself." Lu Xiaoling said. "It's meant for you to exercise."

She seems to be very powerful when she says this, although she is indeed passable compared to me, but after watching Master Lu and Master Cao cast spells, she is just a primary school student in my eyes.

Now Lu Xiaoling's attitude is like a primary school student standing proudly in the kindergarten and saying, "You guys are really wastewood!" Not a single one can fight! "It makes me very unhappy.

"Don't you have to do anything to prepare?" I asked. "Didn't Master Cao say that he would not fight an unprepared battle."

"You're so troublesome!" Lu Xiaoling said.

But having said that, she honestly checked the charms in her bag, sorted out her magic weapons, and I took out the soul talisman I had prepared and checked it repeatedly.

At this moment, a voice came from downstairs that was somewhat familiar to us.

"This is it?"

"Master, this is it. Help us figure it out! An unfamiliar voice replied.

I hurriedly ran to the door, but saw Ma Bin wearing civilian clothes and carrying a strange-looking backpack, standing at the door of the unit, surrounded by several people talking about something.

Which one is this singing?
