1. Strange building
Speaking of strange buildings, it's been a few years.
In '08, when I first graduated from college, I still lived with my parents. My house is on the eighth floor, and the surrounding community is the highest floor, so you can see the mountain in the distance from the south-facing window. In the past, when I was tired of watching TV at home, I always liked to stand by the window and watch the mountains, but after I graduated, I couldn't see the mountains because three 25-story buildings were built on the south side.
At that time, there were not many high-rise communities in the city, and my parents had some savings in hand, so they wanted to buy apartments in those three high-rise buildings, but later gave up because the property prices were really high. Now that I think about it, it was definitely wise not to buy that building at the time.
During the day, no one could see anything strange about the building, but at night it was especially noticeable - at night the other buildings around were brightly lit, except for the three high-rise buildings.
I remember when I first graduated, there were still quite a few residents in the three buildings, and at least half of the windows were lit at night. But less than two months later, only a few of them were left with light. Now, except for the few signal lights on the roof of the building, the whole building is pitch black, like three big black mountains standing there.
Later, I heard my dad say that there was a problem with the quality of the building, so the residents all checked out, but I didn't dig into the specific reason. Anyway, we don't plan to buy that building, although it blocks the mountain, but the good thing is that it also blocks the sun, and there is no huge strong sunlight directly into my house in the summer, which makes the home a lot cooler.
Originally, these are all old things, but recently I have been exposed to two strange things related to ghosts in a row, so sometimes I wonder if the three buildings are not inhabited by ghosts, and there is another reason why I always pay attention to the dynamics of the three strange buildings, and this reason is Li Mengjia.
The weather is obviously starting to warm up in April, and even as a veteran otaku, I occasionally take a look downstairs in the community garden. As I walked leisurely toward the garden of the community center, where the old man was gathered, a man who was not supposed to be at two o'clock in the afternoon suddenly appeared in front of me.
"Are you going to watch chess again? Geezer! ”
The person I was talking to was a girl, her name was Li Mengjia.
Li Mengjia and I are destined to be close anyway, if I hadn't been a couple with Shu Xin a long time ago, maybe I would have taken the initiative to chase her.
Li Mengjia was my colleague when I worked in a grain and oil company, I was a purchaser in the trade department, and she was a cashier in the finance department.
As the saying goes, trade and finance are not separated. I'm in charge of spending money to buy things, she is in charge of getting money for me, and we have close contacts in internal business, plus we both belong to the cheerful and talkative type, so we quickly got acquainted.
Li Mengjia is a beauty in any sense, and she is unexpectedly very star-like. Once, one of my buddies looked at a photo of me on a company trip in my QQ album, and then he told me that there was a woman in the photo who looked like Keiko Kitagawa - he was referring to Li Mengjia.
I know Japanese female stars like Muto, Aoi, Ozawa, etc., but I am not very familiar with the name Keiko Kitagawa. So I took a look at Baidu, and it turned out that the two of them were really abnormally similar, with a super similar face, height, and figure. For this reason, I also specially watched a movie called "Kiss of Heaven" by Keiko Kitagawa, and it felt like watching Li Mengjia acting.
Maybe it's because this sense of substitution is too strong, so the kiss in the movie zuihou also makes me a little confused.
Li Mengjia resigned a year before me, and then she went to a real estate company to continue to do financial work in the sales office, and my contact with her was limited to QQ, and I couldn't speak once in a few months. I thought that the two of us would never cross paths again, but after I bought a house by myself, I unexpectedly found that Li Mengjia lived upstairs and on the seventh floor of my house.
A few years ago I was a colleague, but a few years later I became a neighbor, and I like to call this coincidence fate.
As for the reason why Li Mengjia called me "old man", it was actually very simple, because I usually watched the old man play chess for a while when I walked downstairs, so she classified me as an "old man". But the title "old man" in the Northeast has another meaning, so every time she calls me like that, I respond in a fixed way.
"Yes, I've been stuffy at home all morning, so I came out to breathe. Why are you back at this point? Skipping work? Wife~"
"Huh? I haven't seen my guts get fat for a few days~! Shu Xin isn't at home, right? Li Mengjia asked with a smile with a small eyebrow.
"What about going to work, do you want to go to my house and sit?"
"You're sexual harassment, be careful I'll sue you!" Li Mengjia pouted and shook her fingers in front of me.
I smiled and waved my hand, "That's it, let's stop kidding!" Seriously, why did you come back so early? ”
"Hey~ Something happened!" Li Mengjia sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"Hehe, the manager won't let me say." Li Mengjia showed a wry smile again.
"If I don't tell anyone, it's done."
"You can pull it~~ Just your mouth? It's simply a village committee loudspeaker! ”
"Is that an exaggeration? I'm still very strict on key matters. ”
"Yes! But the problem is that you never come across something critical! ”
Li Mengjia is very good at bickering.
"Is it related to those three buildings that no one has bought?" I tried to ask. Li Mengjia works in the neighborhood where the three strange buildings I know are located, but every time I ask her what the problems are in that building, she avoids talking about them, and then finds all kinds of excuses to pull the topic away.
Originally, I thought that the result this time would be the same as before, but what I didn't expect was that Li Mengjia was stunned after listening to my question, and after a while, she stared at my eyes as if she had just come back to her senses and said: "Don't call me stupid, I also experienced it myself, so I believe it, those three buildings are haunted!" ”
It was as if a string had been plucked in my head, and I immediately asked, "What the hell?" What does it look like? ”
Li Mengjia was obviously taken aback by this question, and she looked at me in surprise for a while before saying, "You also believe in ghosts?" ”
"It's not just a belief, I've seen it several times with my own eyes, and I've even played tricks with ghosts!" I replied in a serious manner, and then briefly told Li Mengjia about my experience of seeing hell twice in January and March.
I guess what I said was more evil than what she had experienced, so she probably felt that the little secret she kept was not a secret at all, so she then told me in detail about her early return and all the strange things that had happened in her place of work in the past two years.
