Chapter 8: Advice from the Unknown
February 4 arrived.
Yoo Sang-sang was at Xingchen's house at this time, and the other three were also there, and everyone was discussing how to deal with it this time.
"How's the routine investigation?" Liu Xiang asked Lu Ye first: "Do you have any clues?" ”
"No......" Lu Ye shook his head and said, "There is nothing particularly concerning. There were indeed some disputes in the demolition process of the illegal building complex, mainly against the ...... of some nail households."
In that area, during the demolition process, there were no fatal accidents, let alone supernatural phenomena.
It's still the same......
"It's really peculiar...... Lu Ye said with some emotion: "In general horror movies and novels, ghosts have some specific origins. However, most of the blood letters released by the apartment seem to be ......"
"No......" Liu Xiang shook his head and said, "Lu Ye, because you only entered the apartment at the end of last year, you may not know very well. In fact, there is not much rule on this point, when I joined, I asked Li Yin, the head of the building, this question, and he told me that the previous head of the building, Xia Yuan, said that whether the blood ghost has a history to follow, it is generally half and half of the chance. But in the past year, there seem to be more and more ghosts with no origin......"
"I think the ghost or something, maybe it's the fluctuating energy of the human brain." Lu Ye suddenly continued: "Actually, ghosts or something sound very supernatural, but in fact, people who don't know about it may think so. If the electric light had been placed hundreds of years ago, it would have been like magic, witchcraft, and an incredible existence. The same goes for ghosts...... It may be that some people are obsessed with death very deeply, and the afterimage or energy formed by the brain waves emitted by the brain is ......"
"This assumption has been mentioned in science fiction novels......" Bian Xingchen interjected, "and can it be explained by science...... There is no other way for the apartment than to find a way out or be lucky enough to escape back to the apartment in time......"
It's not a long way to get to the apartment, half an hour by subway. Under normal circumstances, in order to give as much time as possible to return to the apartment after the end of the blood letter, the resident will choose to leave the apartment later to perform the blood letter. After all, with the exception of the time period indicated by the blood letter, the rest of the time left the apartment was counted within the forty-eight hour time limit.
Because of this, in the case of the first to fifth blood characters, a location that is too far away from K City is generally not arranged. Apartments are generally arranged to reach the limits of the location within 48 hours by modern means of transport. So, at most, it's the neighboring provinces.
However, after the sixth to tenth time, it may be arranged to a further place. As long as you take a plane, even if you are far away in Europe and the United States, you can reach it within 48 hours. In the case of apartments, it is certainly not a problem to arrange passports for them. Of course, that's another story.
Of course, this time it was in the city, and considering the unexpected situation, everyone still chose to go out at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. After dinner, the five gathered on the ground floor. There's no point in going early, and it's dangerous.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Xingchen took out the pizza that had been heated from the microwave oven, put it on the table, and said to Liu Xiang: "Ah Xiang, eat it, this pizza has a very rich cheese and mushrooms." I remember you said you like cheese pizza, right? ”
"Well, thank you." Yoo Sang-sang is a very enthusiastic person, he worked as a community worker before entering the apartment, and he has always been very enthusiastic about helping others. After entering the apartment, I was scared for a while, but I cheered up.
For residents, the psychological hurdle is no easier than blood. Many people collapsed or committed suicide because they could not bear the horrors of this apartment.
Liu Xiang is the most optimistic resident Xingchen has ever seen except for Xia Xiaomei.
"Ah Xiang......" Xingchen cut the pizza with a knife and handed it to Yoo Sang, saying, "Thank you really last time...... If you hadn't held my hand, I might have been dragged into the basement by that ghost in black......"
"Okay...... I was shocked too......"
After taking another bite of the pizza, Xingchen continued, "This time...... I took a closer look at the map...... The section from Sanada Road to Kitakukuk-ro is basically the size of a large community, and about a third of the demolition work has been carried out, and there are many abandoned houses there that can be provided for us to hide. ”
"Hmm......" Ryu Xiang munched on the pizza and continued, "And then? ”
"I ...... It is proposed that we do not gather together all the time, but spread out to carry out activities. ”
Liu Xiang almost choked suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "Divide ...... Apart? ”
"Yes." Xingchen continued, "Although there are many abandoned houses, there are also many open spaces due to the partial demolition work. What's more, ghosts can always lock on to their targets, and in this case, if we gather together, ghosts can attack with impunity. However, the effect will be much better if you are separated, anyway, the other party is a ghost, even if there are more of us, it is useless. ”
"yes......"
"The apartment needs to give us a hint of how to live, and then let the ghost kill us, Li Yin has mentioned this many times, and that Ke Yinye agrees. Both of them are very talented, one has performed six times and the other has performed four times...... The experience is extremely rich. ”
In other words...... If the five people are scattered, the apartment should be given blood words one by one, and then let the ghosts attack according to this order...... Ability to procrastinate for a certain amount of time. This time, the time indicated by the blood letter was four hours in total...... Procrastination is the most effective strategy for short-term blood letters. ”
"But, four hours is enough for the ghost to kill us......"
"No, giving the blood word is only the first step, and the apartment will give us some time to think. Of course, there are long and short times, and those with poor thinking skills may be given priority to solve the ......"
Then, at four o'clock, the two entered the elevator and began to go down.
When I got into the elevator, I just closed the elevator door, and suddenly Liu Xiang asked Xingchen: "That's right...... You, went to see your brother on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, right? ”
"Hmm......" Xingchen nodded and said, "With him, even if I really ...... I believe he can take care of my parents. ”
"Don't say that...... Liu Xiang shook his head, grabbed his shoulder and said, "We won't die, it's only the second bloody word, isn't it?" ”
After arriving downstairs, the elevator door opened, and Xingchen and Liu Xiang walked out, and at this time, Sun Jian was already waiting in the hall. He was still dressed in the same unkempt manner, with earrings on his ears, a skull pendant on his chest, and a cigarette in his mouth. But it could be seen that he was very nervous, his body was trembling all the time, and his face was obviously very pale. On the ground, there are already two cigarette butts.
Sun Jian saw Xingchen and Liu Xiang coming, immediately took off the cigarette, and said, "You are here?" What about two others? ”
"It's time to come down...... It's all this time......"
At this time, another elevator door opened, and Lu Ye and Wen Xuehui walked out, and now, everyone arrived.
When he was about to leave, he suddenly saw that there was a ...... on the coffee table in the hall A piece of paper. He picked up the paper, and on it was a line of printed words.
"A word of advice to residents who go to the Sanada Road area to perform the blood characters and not to look back at anything that happens during the blood letters. Remember, no matter what happens! ”
On paper, there is only one line of words.
"What's going on?" Liu Xiang handed the paper to the other residents suspiciously, and everyone was a little puzzled.
If this is the content of the instructions in the apartment's blood letters, no matter how weird it is, everyone will not react. But this is clearly artificial, written down by some resident and placed here?
"What are you kidding?" Sun Jian grabbed the piece of paper and said, "We'...... Why should we believe in such a thing? It must have been a resident who wrote that on purpose. ”
"What's in it for that householder?" Liu Xiang said puzzledly: "I don't understand why someone would do that. ”
"It's weird indeed." Xingchen took the paper and looked at it, and said, "This is very ordinary A4 printer paper, obviously a certain resident didn't want us to find out who wrote it, so he deliberately printed it......"
Don't look back no matter what happens?
Judging from the blood words alone, this conclusion cannot be reached at all. And I have investigated all kinds of situations in the demolition site, and there are no supernatural rumors related to "turning back" or anything. Of course, time is short, and I may not have time to find out something.
Could it be that this household found something?
Clenching the paper tightly, Xingchen felt uneasy.
"There's still time," he immediately decided: "Gather the residents and ask, who put this piece of paper?" Or talk to Li Yin about it. If any of the residents really know what is going on......"
If anyone really knows what's going on......
After all, the blood word is too terrible, and if you are not careful, you will die. No one dares to gamble with their lives, and if someone really finds out clues related to life, they naturally can't ignore it. Even though it may be a small surname.
"Okay......" Yoo Xiang agreed.
So, first of all, I called Li Yin. Then Li Yin used his mobile phone to send a short message to all the residents to inform him of this. The occupants of the apartment immediately gathered in the lobby on the ground floor.
By the time everyone gathered, it was already half an hour later.
Li Yin looked at the paper carefully and said, "It is indeed a very ordinary A4 paper......
Then he turned to the residents and asked, "Who is it?" Who put this piece of paper? ”
But the occupants were silent, and no one responded.
"No one admits it?" Li Yin carefully checked the household register in his hand again, and no one was absent. So...... Is it the occupant who is hiding it?
There can be no ghosts in the apartment, if you want to inform the residents what can be done with the blood letters on the wall. And how much more so the paper that is printed...... Clearly artificial.
A certain resident knows the inside story about the blood letter! But why not?
"That householder, I'm afraid, learned about these ......things through some special way, a way that can't tell others," suddenly Silver Night spoke: "Otherwise, there is no reason to say it openly." ”
"Or ......," Silver Feather behind Silvernight added, "It's because I have a grudge against the residents, and I deliberately mislead the residents with this paper, but this may not be high." However, it cannot be completely ignored either. ”
In conclusion, there is no evidence that what is on paper is real.
Can't go back at any point? So what if the ghost arrives behind you? This is simply fatal "advice". Still "no matter what"?
"Who has been to the ground floor hall?" Li Yin glanced at the residents and said, "Who?" ”
No one reacted.
Someone is lying. Someone printed it out and put it in the lobby of the ground floor...... It is estimated that it is useless to check the computers of the residents, and the printed documents and records must have been completely deleted.
This piece of paper, if it is true......
If it's true......
So what does it mean?
The inhabitants are absolutely human, flesh and blood human beings. It is impossible for humans to know what special arrangements will be made in the apartment, no one can know.
If it is found out that there are supernatural rumors that cannot be looked back, forget it. But in fact, there have always been a large number of demolition teams there, and now there will be no one until the Chinese New Year. Those people in the demolition team can't keep not looking back, right? So such supernatural rumors are not very realistic.
Odd......
It's weird......
Li Yin stared at the piece of paper carefully, as if his eyes were about to erupt with fire......
Could it be ......
Is there a person among the residents who can understand the will of the apartment? Do this so that no one else knows, but you want to save the occupants?
If such a person exists, then it will be easy to get through the blood letter.
This person......
Who exactly?
