As she was leaving, I used the Soul Detection Charm to spy on her true attributes, and although I was shielded by a layer of spiritual power, I also saw something to some extent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is a very complex demon that has devoured some humans in its lifetime.

The devoured human souls had become a part of her body, and if she took them away, she would be severely damaged, and then she would be forced to come out and find out.

Early the next morning, I took advantage of the time when everyone was out to buy groceries and have breakfast, and quickly asked the local residents to find out if anyone had died in the alley.

After inquiring all the way, I finally learned that a young woman named Chen Meihua disappeared in the alley for no reason last year, and her whereabouts are still unknown.

It was past two o'clock in the morning, and she was a trainee teacher at an elementary school. Some people say that they ran into a perverted murderer and dismembered the body, and some people say that they ran into a ghost.

After inquiring all the way, I finally learned that Chen Meihua's parents died when she was a child, and she lived with her grandmother in the community at the end of the alley, and people called her Grandma Lin.

Finally, I broke through the alley and came to a relatively empty area.

I thought the atmosphere here would be better, but I didn't expect it to be even colder than the alley.

In front of me is an old building built in the seventies and eighties of the last century, with four units side by side, one door and two households, and seven floors.

From the outside, the whole building is a little old, and the mottled walls, lush creepers and rusty electronic doors all tell the history of this building.

According to the specific address I inquired about, I rang the doorbell of room 501 in Unit 1.

A moment later, an old and deep voice came from the loudspeaker: "Who? ”

I hurriedly said: "Hello Grandma Lin, I am Yu Meihua's classmate, I haven't seen her for so many years, come and see her." ”

Grandma Lin didn't answer and immediately hung up the walkie-talkie.

Just when I thought I had said the wrong thing, the electronic door opened with a very clattering sound.

An inexplicable cold wind poured out of the door and made me shiver violently.

The corridor is fully enclosed, cold, and you can't see your fingers.

Although it is late in winter, it is now more than six o'clock in the morning, why is it still so dark in the building?

With the faint light emitted from the screen of my mobile phone, I fumbled for a long time and finally found a raised place.

Judging from experience, this is the switch of the touch corridor light.

It stands to reason that this kind of switch will turn on as long as you touch it, but he used the mobile phone screen to cover it and touched it back and forth several times without the slightest response, and it seems that the lights here are also broken.

This black light is blinding, what if the old man accidentally trips when he goes out?

I cursed the lights, the stingy residents, and the inactive community members, but the chill in my heart did not diminish in the slightest.

I finally went up to the fifth floor, and was about to knock on the door, but I saw the door "squeak" and open a little half.

Just then, a pungent smell came out of the crack in the door, reminiscent of the rotten smell of food.

Perhaps, this is the case for some single elderly people.

I sighed and pushed the door open a little more.

The inside of the door was pitch black, without a trace of light, and it seemed that the lighting of the house was quite bad.

I was surprised, and secretly thought that this Grandma Lin was really economical enough, and the guests were here, why didn't she even turn on the lights? What's even stranger is that the door is open, but no one comes out to greet it.

"Grandma Lin?"

There was no echo, and the silence of the needle drop in the entire corridor could be heard.

Just as I was about to knock on the door, an old and familiar voice came from underneath: "Come in." ”

I subconsciously took a step back, only to see a small body peeking out of the darkness behind the door. My imagination is not very bad, before I came here, I had imagined many figures of Grandma Lin based on that voice, but I didn't expect her to be so old.

Her stature was extremely short and slender, as if her entire skeleton had shrunk into a ball, and her facial features could be vaguely recognized on a wrinkled and shriveled face, but she could no longer make out any expressions.

When I walked through the door, the smell became stronger and stronger, and the air was stuffy and a little panicked.

However, this is not the main thing, I found that there was not a single light on in the whole house.

Now that prices are skyrocketing, most of this Grandma Lin is a lonely old man, living on a meager retirement salary, and it is normal to be frugal.

But it's so dark that the guests don't even turn on the lights when they come to the door, which is a bit too much to say.

So I asked very politely: "Grandma Lin, where is the switch of the light in the living room, I will help you turn it on." ”

Grandma Lin said: "Oh, there was a power outage in the building last night, and no one has come to repair it until now." I'm sorry, I'm going to get a candle. ”

As soon as I thought about this, I shook my hand and said, "Where, I'm sorry to disturb you so early." ”

Grandma Lin said, "Yes, child, why did you come so early?" ”

I replied, "Oh, I'm working in the field right now, and I'm on the train in the middle of the night, so I'm early." ”

Grandma Lin said: "Alas, I haven't forgotten Meihua for so long, you really have a heart, child." ”

I was about to speak, when suddenly an abnormal breath swept into the tip of my nose, and I couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, I replied lightly, staring at Grandma Lin's back with eyes that seemed to understand something.

Just before entering the building, I saw that there were two residents in the whole building with the lights on!

"Huh!"

Grandma Lin, who went and returned, struck a match, and the living room where she couldn't see her fingers lit up a little light.

The candlelight didn't surprise people much, and the dim glow made the already dark room look even more eerie.

"Sit casually. By the way, what should I call you? Grandma Lin's voice sounded in her ears, as if it was close at hand.

I jerked my head back, only to find her sitting nicely on the sofa chair in the corner of the living room, five or six paces away from me.

"Grandma Lin, my name is Li Zheng, just call me Xiaozheng." I sat down on another sofa chair next to her, and after a few polite words, I got to the point.

After a few brief greetings, I suddenly asked, "Grandma Lin, has Meihua moved out?" ”

Grandma Lin didn't speak, but slowly walked into another room.

After a while, she walked out of it holding a black and white frame. In the frame is a young and delicate girl.

I took the opportunity to step forward to help her take a closer look at the room, and saw that there was an altar inside, and a wooden plaque engraved with the name of "Chen Meihua" stood on it.

The wooden plaque clearly wrote Chen Meihua's birthday, and I secretly wrote it down.

When she came to the living room, Grandma Lin burst into tears and told her about Chen Meihua's murder.

It turned out that last summer, Teacher Yu, who had finished teaching a summer cram school, was late in the office to correct his homework and was killed on the way home from work, and the murderer has not been found so far. (To be continued.) )
