Chapter 15: A Terrifying Conjecture
"There's a murder, call the police quickly!" Deng Furu was quite calm, he wiped his sweat, and then looked at Tang Tian. And Lu Qing was shocked after hearing Deng Furu's words.
If the police are called, then the police will intervene in the investigation. He and Li Wenqiao had been in contact with the victim in the morning, and now they appeared at the scene of the crime again, as long as the surrounding residents revealed this to the police, they would definitely be taken away by the police as suspects. The mandate stipulates that they cannot leave the apartment for this week, which means that if the police are called, Lu Qing's situation will become very dangerous!
Similarly, Tang Tian also took this into account. He looked at Lu Qing with a pale face, a little at a loss. "Why are you still stunned?" Deng Furu saw that the two of them did not move, and he was a little anxious.
"Get out of here first and protect the crime scene." Lu Qing had a plan, and he said to Deng Furu: "Let's go to the security room downstairs first, and then call the police and let the police deal with it." You take care of Mr. Wu, I think he is in a very bad state. ”
Deng Furu nodded, and then said, "Okay, then I'll go back and lock the door first, and then help him go home to rest." If the police call us out, let us know. Wu Changfeng also wiped his mouth weakly: "Well, then trouble you, Mr. Deng......" Deng Furu supported him and said: "Don't be so polite, just call me Old Deng." ”
After several people closed the door of 801, Lao Deng helped Wu Changfeng back to 701, while Lu Qing and the others ran downstairs quickly. After Lu Qing made sure that there was no one around, he whispered to Tang Tian: "I'll go back and hide in a while, you can just tell Brother Sheng the truth, but don't mention me!" I'm afraid I'll be summoned by the police. ”
"But paper can't hold the fire, I'm worried that the police will find a few of you, so what can I do!" Tang Tian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and now several other people were restricted from traveling, and once he left the apartment, the end would be a dead end.
"I don't know, damn it, I didn't even take into account the outside world in the first place. In short, let's take one step at a time! I'll go back first! After Lu Qing finished explaining to him, he flashed back to room 202.
Tang Tian returned to the security room nervously, he did not call the police immediately, but prepared to wait for Wang Sheng to come back. He didn't have any ideas, he just wanted to delay for a while. About half an hour later, Wang Sheng returned to the security room with a plastic bag.
"Today, the convenience store has a promotion, and I also brought you some lo-mei, so you can have a good meal on duty at night." Wang Sheng just put down his things, and was startled after seeing Tang Tian's pale face.
"Are you not feeling well? Why is your face so bad? Wang Sheng asked with concern.
"Brother Sheng, something happened to the residents of 801! A neighbor came down to say that he smelled a lot of smoke, but we went up to take a look......" Tang Tian was just about to tell the truth, but was interrupted by Wang Sheng: "Ah Tian, what nonsense are you talking about?" Are you sure it's 801? ”
"Sure!"
"801 is empty, it hasn't been rented out for years, where are the residents?"
"What?" Tang Tian didn't expect Wang Sheng to say this.
"I think you're dreaming, well, see for yourself." Wang Sheng pointed to the registration book on the table, and Tang Tian stepped forward, seeing that the remarks behind the 801 column had become "empty".
"How can this be......" he couldn't believe his eyes. Afraid that Wang Sheng would be suspicious, he immediately stopped the car. Then he sneered: "Maybe, just after my friend left, I lay on the table and squinted for a while, probably dreaming." ”
"Hahaha, I said! Come on, drink something and sober up! Wang Sheng's nerves were very big, and he didn't even ask, he took out a can of beer from the bag and handed it to Tang Tian. Didn't you say that you can't drink alcohol during work, Brother Sheng, this is ......" Tang Tian took the beer, a little hesitant.
"Shhhh Anyway, no one here will come to inspect it, don't worry! Wang Sheng took a sip of beer and patted Tang Tian disapplausively. Oh, that's it...... I'll go to the toilet first. Tang Tian put the beer on the table, then hid in the bathroom and took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lu Qing.
On the other side, Lu Qing and the others were pacing anxiously in the house, and after receiving Tang Tian's news, they couldn't help but be stunned. "How so? Could it be that space has intervened? Chen Shuo immediately came to a conclusion after reading the text message.
"Quite possibly. If the police had intervened, we would have been forcibly taken out of here. But just to be on the safe side, I'd like to go up and check it out! Lu Qing put away his mobile phone, and then said to Chen Shuo: "You come with me." ”
The two went straight to the seventh floor, and after Lu Qing took a deep breath, he knocked on the door of 701. "It's coming!" Soon someone on the side responded.
"Hey, you didn't just come to say hello in the morning...... Mr. Lui, right? Wu Changfeng opened the door with sleepy eyes. And Lu Qing reacted instantly, and then smiled: "Well, that's right, it's me...... What, aren't you at work today? ”
"I work the night shift and usually rest at home during the day." Wu Changfeng yawned, looking like he hadn't woken up at all: "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"I just remembered that I picked up a banknote in the corridor in the morning, and I don't know if it's yours, so I came up to ask." Lu Qing took out the rhetoric he had already thought of, and took out a Hong Kong dollar from his pocket.
"Oh, it's not mine, you can ask someone else......" Wu Changfeng rubbed his eyes.
"Okay, excuse me." Lu Qing said a few polite words to him apologetically, and then turned to leave.
When the two of them reached the eighth floor, they saw that the two doors of 801 had been firmly locked, and there was no residual smell of smoke in the corridor. He questioned Deng Furu, a resident of 803, in the same way, who was at a loss, with no idea what had happened and no memory of the past.
"Please don't bother me if there's nothing else, I'm writing a manuscript, and it's really a headache to be noisy in the middle of writing." Deng Furu pinched his eyebrows and said to them with some embarrassment.
"Are you the only one on the eighth floor?" Lu Qing asked tentatively.
"There is an old man living in the house in 802 next door, and the other two rooms have never been occupied, and I rented this room because it was the cleanest on this floor."
"Got it, I'm really sorry to disturb you, then I'll go first." Lu Qing quickly left here after learning everything. At the same time, a big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground: "Fortunately, there is space to intervene, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”
"yes." Chen Shuo also has a deep fear and resistance to the police because of his own reasons. After the two returned to 202, Lu Qing suddenly remembered the previous photo and took out his mobile phone. In the household statistics table on the original photo, the vacant rooms have been changed from 6 to 7, and the names of Cao Yonglian and Guan Tongshi, residents of room 801, have also disappeared.
He told others about his discovery. "You say, could it be that the empty rooms before were not without occupants, but that the people inside had been killed by the ghosts?" Qian Jie looked at the registration book on his mobile phone, and suddenly such a sentence popped up.
"I think it's very likely...... Maybe the rooms we stayed in were also vacant because of the death of the previous occupant. Royco added.
"I have a bold conjecture...... Li Wenqiao's face was like frost, she looked at Lu Qing, a little hesitant.
"It's okay, just say what you have to think, and everyone can discuss it together." Lu Qing encouraged.
"Since the memories of the residents can be easily tampered with, will the ghosts in this apartment keep repeating the killing over and over again, and every time the killed residents disappear, a new batch of people will be sent in. Their memories are likely to have been altered, so they will always think that they live here......" Li Wenqiao finished his thoughts in one breath.
"Then I have an even more terrifying guess: could this building be full of ghosts except for a few of us? They are just like that Uncle Gen, the reason why they made these so-called murders is actually just to intimidate us! That's why the corpses disappeared like this, and the others pretended nothing had happened, playing with a few of us. After saying this, Royco showed a wry smile, and his expression was more ugly than crying.
After Qian Jie listened to his words, her face was like earth, and her whole person was about to collapse. If the building is full of ghosts, as Royco said, then the danger of this mission is simply terrifying. In the previous regional mission, although Xu Zhen and the others had also been in the same room with more than forty ghosts, the mission time was only more than forty minutes.
But even so, the last three still paid an extremely heavy price, and if it weren't for the help of the fourth district, almost all of them would have died. And this time, they're going to be living in this building for a whole week!
