Chapter 22: Bedroom 444
After He Wei was shocked into a cold sweat, he hurriedly ran back to the office, and saw the old man sitting in place, looking at the white paper in his hand with a pair of reading glasses, and he didn't know what was written on the white paper, but He Wei still asked: "Uncle, have you seen it, there are ghosts at the elevator entrance, there are many ghosts, what is going on." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The old man suddenly looked up at him sharply, revealing a fierce expression, and scolded angrily: "What's the matter with you? What's going on? Aren't you a Taoist priest, won't you catch ghosts when you see them? If you are not a Taoist priest, what are you applying for here? Don't you see the five words on the gate, ghost hunting store? ”
The old man's tone suddenly became a little heavy, and his face was not as kind as before, He Wei saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Oh, yes, I am indeed a Taoist priest, I just want to ask what is going on, how can there be so many ghosts in a good place." ”
"Young man, I don't blame you, hurry up downstairs and do what you should do, by the way, take the ghost of the elevator, this is a test for your interview, if you succeed, I will officially hire you."
After He Wei agreed, he took a deep breath and turned around and walked to the elevator entrance, but the strange thing was that the lonely ghosts he saw before suddenly disappeared in front of him, and the elevator box was empty, and there was no figure.
He Wei felt that more things were better than less, so he simply didn't take the elevator and went straight to the stairs, anyway, it just took a little longer, and he was just tired, and there was nothing.
When he came to the staircase, he found that it was pitch black in front of him, the lights between the floors could not be lit, and there was no switch on the wall, so he could only feel the darkness and walk downstairs step by step.
But when He Wei was halfway there, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and with every step he took, he could hear a sound of footsteps behind him, not from under his feet, but from his back.
The more He Wei walked forward, the more he felt a chilling feeling behind him, and he faintly heard the faint sound of breathing coming from his ears, and felt that there was a person standing beside him.
As soon as he thought of this, He Wei's heart became more and more frightened, but he still lowered his head and walked downstairs step by step, he walked for a long time, and did not reach the bottom of the building for a long time, he immediately subconsciously looked up at the wall between the floors, and found that there was a red Peugeot 8F on the wall.
At this time, He Wei realized that he had climbed so many stairs, and he was still standing still, as if he had bumped into a ghost hitting a wall, and he couldn't get out of this staircase.
At the same time, he could feel as if there were a lot of people around him, and the sound of breathing became more and more, and he could even clearly feel that there was a pair of hands behind him on his shoulders, and a cold breath spread from his neck to his cheeks.
But He Wei didn't panic at this time, thinking to himself: Even if he doesn't know any Dao techniques, at least he will devour Dafa, although it looks a bit like a side door, but after all, it still has a certain effect.
This thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly raised his hands, opened his lips, and spit out a long tongue, and then, countless pitch-black cockroaches crawled out of He Wei's mouth and crawled to the ground, burning into a flame that illuminated the passage ahead.
Suddenly, He Wei heard the screams coming from all around, and a dense group of old mothers appeared in front of him standing beside him in a circle, and there were countless cockroaches crawling on each of these old mothers' faces gnawing on their faces.
One of the old mothers fell to the ground with a painful expression, and begged He Wei loudly for mercy: "Young man, don't be so ruthless, we are all poor people, and we don't want to hurt you." ”
After He Wei heard the cry for mercy, he immediately withdrew the cockroaches from his mouth, and only then did the screams around stop screaming, and the poor old mothers on the ground stood up one by one in embarrassment, and many faces had been gnawed by the ruthless cockroaches beyond recognition.
"Who the hell are you? I have no grievances with you, so why should you play tricks on me? He Wei looked at them vigilantly and suddenly asked.
"Young man, you're wrong about us, we're not playing a trick on you, you're playing a trick on yourself." One of the old mothers in a red cheongsam stood up from the ground in embarrassment, although her face was gnawed and bloodstained, but when she looked closely, she showed a little kindness.
"Since you didn't play tricks on me, why did I stay where I was after walking for so long, isn't it your ghost?" He Wei walked up to the old mother and suddenly asked in a heavy tone.
"No, no, young man, you really blame us, this staircase is already full of evil spirits, we all died in it, many people have died before, this staircase has long been sealed."
Between the floors, there were about a dozen old mothers, all of them elderly people, all wearing the same cheongsam, but different colors, and they all explained to He Wei the tragic situation that had happened in this building.
But He Wei didn't believe what they said, but asked more insistently: "What are you kidding, I've been staying here for so long, except for you, I haven't seen any ghosts at all, even if you lie, you have to make a draft, who are you fooling?" ”
These old mothers suddenly stopped talking, and one by one the figures slowly turned into transparent shapes, disappeared in front of He Wei's eyes, and a word of advice came from the air: "Young man, thank you for your grace of not killing today, but it was indeed not us who was playing tricks on you just now, but someone else, and there will be a time later." ”
He Wei saw that they had all disappeared, and looked around the floor left and right, but he didn't find anything unusual, but the cool aura behind him still hadn't dissipated, which made He Wei feel very uneasy for a while.
When He Wei took another step, suddenly a pair of cold hands pulled his ankles, so that he couldn't exert any strength, he unconsciously looked down at his feet, and found that the fingernails were very sharp, like the claws of a jackal.
He Wei immediately became wise in a hurry, opened his lips, spit out a bloody tongue, and vomited out a group of dense cockroaches.
He Wei saw that the cockroaches had lost their combat effectiveness, and his heart panicked, and he used all his strength to keep struggling in place, but now the cold hands were like a sharp "dagger", nailing the soles of his feet to the ground.
Suddenly a cloud of black liquid appeared on the ground, which flowed all over the surrounding area, and at the same time emitted an unpleasant smell, which was like the corrosive smell of a corpse exposed to the sun for three days and three nights, both disgusting and pungent.
He Wei immediately squatted down, reached out and grabbed the hand at his feet, and pulled hard, but it was still to no avail, and he couldn't get rid of the huge force behind him, at this time, He Wei was desperate in his heart.
But at the same time, he suddenly thought of the whistle that Summer had given him before, and Summer had told him that as long as he blew that whistle, he would immediately appear in front of him, but only at night she would appear, although it was not night, but the scene was also dark, he immediately took out the whistle from his pocket, put it to his mouth and blew it.
But he blew it over and over again, and the summer never appeared, and the situation was getting worse and worse at this time, and he himself was dying, and he couldn't use any strength at all.
At this moment, He Wei suddenly remembered something in his mind, he remembered that he had a conflict with Xia Xia on the corner of his mouth by the river before, maybe it was for this reason that Xia had a grudge, so he didn't appear.
But especially at this time, what He Wei needs most is the assistance of summer, but his voice is almost hoarse, and he just can't see summer.
Just before he was about to fall, He Wei tried to open his lips again, and vomited out pitch-black cockroaches, but although those cockroaches crawled out, they just crawled to the ground and walked two steps, and their bodies suddenly stopped moving, and shrunk into a ball.
Seeing that his last efforts were about to come to naught, he himself began to despair, closed his eyes, and fell stiffly to the ground.
But at this moment, Summer suddenly appeared in front of He Wei's eyes, dragging a long handful of cement steel bars in his hand, swaying up the stairs, and slamming the hands at He Wei's feet.
After the hands were violently impacted, they suddenly retracted into the ground, and He Wei was relieved at this time, crawling on the ground and panting without listening, looking like a seventy or eighty-year-old man.
He Wei slowly raised his head, looked in front of him, and found a girl standing in front of him, wearing a blue and white brand new school uniform on her upper body, but tattered cotton pants on her lower body.
He Wei immediately rushed forward, hugged Xia in his arms, and kept apologizing: "It was really my problem before, I'm really embarrassed, I was too impulsive, I was already disfigured at that time, I am now unrecognizable, and you can't see my face anymore." ”
"It's okay little brother, I know you still care about me in your heart, I'm not angry with you at all, but you can't hold me like this, you will detract from Yang Shou, once the human ghost is in contact for too long, the ghost will suck the yang energy in that person's body dry."
After He Wei heard it, he didn't care at all, but hugged it tighter, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's okay, as long as I can be with you, I will die if I die, even if there is only one second left." ”
He Wei's most powerful thing is to use rhetoric to move women, although the words sound very fake, but some women just like to listen to these sweet words, especially girls like Summer, as soon as they heard these words, their hearts immediately softened, and the two of them hugged in this small space for about three minutes.
At this time, Summer suddenly said: "Little brother, I have to go, I will come back in the evening, I don't care what you become, I will remember how you used to be." ”
As soon as Xia finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the stairs, but He Wei pulled her back and told her: "It's okay if you don't leave today, I'm suddenly a little afraid of losing you, I didn't feel this way before, I don't know what's going on today." ”
But Summer's expression was a little ugly, her eyes narrowed into a line, and she replied impatiently: "Oh, no, if I don't leave now, I won't be able to leave, do you know where I live, I and you are not from the same world at all." ”
"But I don't care, I'm willing to spend a wonderful life with you in the coffin, I've never sent you home, I'll send you today." As soon as He Wei stepped forward, he grabbed Summer's wrist and held it tightly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Forget it, you don't need to send it, you'll be scared silly when you send it halfway there, I live in a place you can't imagine." Summer shook his hand vigorously, and ran downstairs without looking back.
He Wei immediately chased forward, but he found that he couldn't catch up no matter how much he chased, he felt that the figure was in front of him, but he couldn't rely on her, and after a while, Summer disappeared from his field of vision, only to see that it was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see any figure at all.
At the same time, the lights on the floor suddenly turned on, and the faint light illuminated the stone stairs on the floor, and there was no figure on the upper and lower sides, which seemed extremely quiet.
He Wei immediately ran downstairs, this time there was no more obstacle, in less than a minute, he had already reached the side of the road, and when he looked back at the previous building, he didn't find anything wrong, and it was not much different from the nearby high-rise buildings.
He Wei looked up at the bedside of the previous office, and saw that the old man from before had stuck his neck out of the window and was waving to him. He suddenly thought of what the old man had told him before, and asked him to use the street as a public toilet in front of the public, and complete the mission given to him by the old man in one go.
This kind of arduous task may seem like a momentary thing, but if you really want to do it, it will take a lot of courage and awareness to achieve it, and even if you treat the pedestrians on the street as wood, you will feel a little uneasy in your heart.
But when you think about the future, and the stack of thick bills on the mahogany table, it will all come to naught if you don't pay a heavy price.
He Wei once again mustered up the courage of his whole body, raised the spirit of 120,000 points, and with an extremely serious expression, took that heavy and hard step, and walked towards the crowded street.
Coming to the middle of the road, there was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going, and the motorway was full of vehicles, but in the next second, He Wei was about to become the focus of the entire street, and everyone would turn their eyes to the young man.
But at this moment, He Wei's whole body was trembling, his mind was already delirious, and he had been hesitating, because he had never had the courage to make the next shameless and obscene move, although his whole body was motionless, his hair was sweating profusely, and the sweat had been penetrating his entire coat.
At this time, He Wei's mind recalled the scene of picking up cans in the garbage heap, wearing dirty clothes, embarrassed all over his body, and the miserable picture echoed in his mind repeatedly, making his whole person pluck up courage again.
This time the courage came more violently than the last time, he was ruthless, closed his eyes, took out the roll of toilet paper in his pocket, clenched his teeth, held the belief that the boat was broken, his hands slipped down his chest all the way to his waist, and untied the tattered belt tied around his waist.
At this earth-shattering moment, the old man's voice suddenly came from behind He Wei: "Young man, okay, you have passed the interview this time, come to the company on time tomorrow morning to report." ”
When He Wei heard the voice, he immediately turned his head to look behind him, and found that the old man was standing less than three meters behind him, wearing a white suit and a pair of reading eyes, looking at him with a smile.
He Wei immediately walked up and asked the old man curiously, "Uncle, what did you just say?" I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again? ”
The old man lowered his head and smiled, but did not speak, only to see a stack of brand-new banknotes in his hand, as well as a shiny key, which was directly stuffed into He Wei's hand, and then took out a white note from his pocket and stuffed it into his pocket.
When He Wei saw this move, he was a little blindsided, and before he woke up from the thrilling moment just now, he hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what's the situation?" I haven't completed my task yet, have I already passed the interview? ”
The old man took off the presbyopia eyes on his head, wiped them in his hands, squinted at He Wei and said: "Yes, your interview has passed, you can come to work tomorrow, I just gave you the remuneration for your interview, and our company in order to facilitate management, but also arranged to live together, you don't have to go home for a while, the company has a special dormitory for you to live in, I have given you the key to the dormitory door, the note is the address of the dormitory, if there is no other problem, go back first." ”
When He Wei heard this, his heart was excited and afraid, not to mention the excitement, the reason for the fear was because he didn't know what work was waiting for him tomorrow, and he was a little confused in his heart, he wanted to ask clearly, but he was afraid that he would have a bad impression of asking too much, so he didn't continue to ask, nodded, and looked for the address on the note step by step.
When he came to the dormitory, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him, because what he saw was not a staff dormitory, but a castle, and it was built in European style, the height of the gate alone was about three meters long, and there were rows of stone lion statues on both sides.
The key in his hand looked very old, with some rust on it, but it shone in the sunlight and shone prominently.
At this time, He Wei took out the 10,000 yuan bill in his pocket again, and took a closer look, although he knew very well how much money he had, he still counted it in his hand repeatedly, maybe he had never seen so much money, which made his heart feel extremely surging.
After standing at the gate of the castle for a few minutes, He Wei walked inside, took out the key, and opened the iron gate in the castle.
After He Wei walked into the castle, he kept looking around left and right, and found that the castle was full of corridors and aisles, with countless stairs and rows of dazzling door frames in front of him.
If you are a first-time visitor to this kind of place, you are completely unfamiliar with the terrain here, and you will definitely get lost, because it doesn't look like a dwelling at all, but more like a labyrinth, and you can't see the end of the inside in the passage.
He Wei took out the white note that the old man gave him from his pocket before, and the note clearly wrote the number in his bedroom, room 444, and the address of the room was marked in detail.
After seeing the address above, He Wei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then slowly raised his head and gently walked towards the corridor in front of him.
The corridor is full of white flowers on both sides, and there are basically all rooms next to it, one of the doors says Room 1, and the next door frame is Room 2, and down there is Room 3, and you can see Room 4 and 5 when you go all the way forward, and by analogy, you will need to walk for several minutes until you reach Room 444.
He Wei suddenly felt a little strange, isn't this an employee's dormitory? How does it look like the place where some rich man's maid lives? Even if there is only one person living in each room, then so many rooms have to live at least hundreds of people, how can there be so many employees in the office of more than ten square meters that He Wei saw before, and live in such a luxurious place, it is really incredible.
But He Wei didn't dare to continue to think about it, the more he thought about anything, the more complicated it became, and he knew this very well in his heart, so he continued to take a step forward, carefully looking for the house number in his room in the endless corridor.
Just when He Wei was approaching room 444, an incredible scene happened, when He Wei walked to room 443, he was walking forward to room 445, and there was no room 444 written on the note in the middle.
At that time, He Wei thought that he was dazzled, and walked around repeatedly, looking at the number displayed on the door frame, there was indeed no room 444, and he couldn't see his room if he continued to walk forward, and the lights in front of him were getting darker and darker all the way, and the road in the corridor was getting narrower and narrower, and the corridor seemed very quiet.
