Chapter 57: Invisibility
I looked up at the sky, the clouds were moving fast, and I felt like it might rain today.
Turning my gaze back, I rushed to the air duct, "Let's go, let's go back to the lighting factory and sleep in the car, no one will go to that place anyway, no one will disturb you..."
Back at the abandoned lighting factory, I got into the car, and Xiang Feng and I ate the things we bought from the supermarket, and then fell asleep one after another. When I woke up, it was dusk, and I didn't know where the wind went, and it was raining outside, and the factory yard was bright and bright washed by the rain. The factory stands in the smoke and rain, looking bleak and dilapidated.
After looking around for a while, Xiang Feng came back, holding a black umbrella and carrying food. When I got into the car and opened the box, I saw a piece of smash fish fillet and a portion of scallion roasted pork ribs, steaming hot and fragrant. Listening to the sound of rain outside, the two of them were eating dinner.
Xiang Feng naturally picked up the two largest ribs and put them in my lunch box.
"Yo, why are you so attentive?" I laughed.
"You ran so far last night, it was very hard, I don't know what else I will encounter tonight, so eat more..."Xiang Feng said lightly.
"Okay, you can eat too."
Xiang Feng smiled at me.
Eating and drinking, the two of them sat in the car smoking cigarettes, staring at the time on their phones, waiting quietly.
waited until more than ten o'clock, and Xiang Feng said, "It's almost, let's go." β
"Wait a minute."
"How?"
I pointed to the factory outside, "Let's go to the top of this factory first and take a look." β
Xiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "It's okay..."
Go up to the top of the factory and look to the southwest, the 'building' last night did not appear...
Out of the factory, Xiang Feng and I leaned together, shared an umbrella, and walked along the roadway, zigzag. The rain hit the umbrella, and the sound of 'popping' made a cloudy smell everywhere. When I finally came to the entrance of the alley, I saw that there was not a single star in the alley, and it looked darker than last night.
Along the alley, we came to the place where my phone made noise last night, in front of the rental building. This is a two-story building, if the missing person in the building is really the couple who blackmailed Liu Fatzi. So it seems that they had a fight in the building where the female technician of Yuzu City lived, and they both went to the hospital, and after they were discharged, they rented here...
According to what Zhu Bin said, if Xiao Jiu and that girl are really good, then I think that after Xiao Jiu got drunk that night, Mi Di Deng ran here, and he should have come to find that girl, and then somehow bumped into the evil...
Looking towards the dark second floor, then at the lock on the door below, I headed towards the air duct, "How do I get in?" β
Xiang Feng put the umbrella away and said, "Help me take care of it." β
I took the umbrella and used my mobile phone to illuminate Xiangfeng, only to see him take out a wire from his pocket that he didn't know where to get, twist a round buckle at one end, hook it with his index finger, and fold a small hook at the other end, little by little, poking into the keyhole... Listen with your ears on the lock, turn the wire to the wind, twist it three times and turn it twice, and with a 'click' sound, the lock will open.
"That's it." Xiang Feng stood up and said.
"You shouldn't have been a thief before, otherwise how could you still have this ability?"
"Everything has to be learned, let's go..."
Push the door into the building, under the fluorescence of the mobile phone, I saw that no one lived for a while, the stairs on this floor have been covered with a layer of dust, and there is a utility room on one side of the stairs. Gently closing the door, he waved his hand to the wind and walked up the stairs first.
Going up the stairs to the second floor, I saw that the space on the second floor was quite large, with a total of three bedrooms and one living room. Every room, that is, every room, including the living room, was empty. I don't know which room the couple lived in before. We looked around the rooms and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Look at the time, it's past the sub-hour.
"It's weird, there's nothing in this building," I muttered.
"Ah Leng."
"Huh?"
"I remember," said Xiang Feng, "when we went upstairs just now, we saw that there seemed to be a back door at the bottom of the stairs, right?" β
I thought for a moment, "It seems to be." β
"Come...", waving his hand to the wind.
Entering one of the rooms, Xiang Feng walked straight to the window and opened the window with a 'squeak'. I followed him out of the window and saw a courtyard behind the building.
The two of them glanced at each other and said to the wind, "Go down and have a look." β
We went down to the first floor, to the bottom of the stairs, to the back door. I tried to push it with my hand, but it didn't move, and the door was locked from the outside. So I went back to the second floor, went into the bathroom, climbed out of the bathroom window, and Xiang Feng and I slid down the sewer pipe, one after the other.
After my feet hit the ground, I looked around and saw that the yard was not very large, and there were a lot of miscellaneous items piled up in the corners of the wall.
Xiang Feng took out the compass from his bag and walked around the yard.
"How?" I asked.
"I feel..."Xiang Feng pointed with his finger, "The building you saw should have appeared in this courtyard..."
I looked around in amazement, and there was nothing in the yard except for the clutter in the corner...
"When you stood on the top of the factory last night and saw that building, what time was it?" Xiang Feng asked.
"Probably," I scratched my head and thought for a moment, "around one o'clock." β
"It's past one o'clock," Xiang Feng looked at the time, "we'll wait here." β
Coming to shelter from the rain under the eaves of the back door of this rental building, two people smoked cigarettes and waited quietly. The rain gradually fell heavily, and the raindrops hit the ground in the courtyard, blowing up into countless powder mist.
Finally, the clock of the phone jumped to a point, and nothing strange happened. After waiting for more than ten minutes, there was still no movement. I was about to speak, and I raised my hand to the wind.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Xiang Feng didn't answer, his eyes were like electricity, and he swept over the courtyard. Suddenly, there was a sound of 'collapse', and then 'collapse'... It is the sound of the compass in the bag.
I was about to take the compass out of my bag to take a look, when I glanced into the distance, and suddenly I noticed that the building on the opposite side of the courtyard seemed to be shaking... I rubbed my eyes and looked over again, and it was indeed shaking... The reason why it is shaking is because in this courtyard not far from us, there is one more thing, and that thing looks like a projected by a projector, an ethereal image, dangling...
Xiang Feng and I are both stunned... The image became clearer and clearer, and a building appeared in front of us in front of us... Oh my God, it's this building, it's here again! β¦
Xiang Feng stood up and walked towards the building.
"Ah Feng!"
I was quick and grabbed him.
"It's fine."
"Let's go!"
Xiang Feng hesitated, "Hmm." β
This building is transparent, and through this building, you can vaguely see the building on the opposite side of the courtyard...
I followed Xiang Feng and the two, cautiously came to the front of the building, glanced at each other, and at the same time stretched out my hand and touched the wall of the building... Hands through the wall, while touching the air...
I tried to take a step and 'through' my whole body over the wall. Sensoryly, I couldn't feel the building at all, I could only feel the rain falling overhead. Looking up, the foggy...
After feeling around for a while, my body was almost soaked by the rain, and Xiang Feng and I walked out one after another.
"It's just an image!" I said.
"No!" Xiang Feng said, "I feel that this building is real!" β
"But..."
"Ah, Leng, look!"
Xiang Feng interrupted me, and when I looked up at his fingers, I couldn't help but be startled, and I saw that in the window on the second floor of this building, there was a woman, or rather, a female ghost, because she was as thin as a skeleton, with a pale face and a disheveled hair, and she didn't look like a living person at all... What makes my scalp tingle is that this 'female ghost' pokes her head out of the window and seems to be staring at us as well...
"She... She's looking at us? I shuddered.
"Yes."
"I'll go, is this a man or a ghost..."
Before I could finish my sentence, all of a sudden, the 'female ghost' poked out her arms and waved at us, waving her mouth open and closed, as if shouting something.
"What is she doing here?"
"She's likeβ" Xiang Feng frowned, "she's calling for help from us..."
"Call for help?"
When I looked at it, it was indeed a bit like, the 'female ghost' seemed to be shouting 'help me' 'help me'... However, we could only see her mouth moving, and we couldn't hear anything at all.
Suddenly, the image of this building began to fade, from top to bottom, disappearing little by little, connecting to the 'female ghost' in the window on the second floor, and in a moment, disappeared without a trace. The rain was still falling, as if nothing had happened just now...
I was stunned, if it weren't for Xiang Feng beside me, I would have suspected that I had just dreamed.
"The female ghost... Why are you yelling at us to save her?" I muttered.
"That's not a female ghost..."
"Huh?" I came back to my senses.
"If I'm right," Xiang Feng pointed to the rental building behind us, "The woman just now is the missing couple and the girl in this building... The building just now is real, it's in this courtyard, but I don't know why, it's invisible. That couple, somehow broke in, and then got trapped inside..."
It's the most incredible thing I've ever encountered in all my time as a sorcerer. Like the previous ones, what kind of evil and the like, compared to this building, it can be said that it is a small thing... Judging from this, the building was not demolished that year. I can't really think of how it was 'invisible', and at night, when everyone in this area was asleep, it appeared again...
Xiang Feng and I sat under the eaves of the back door of the rental building until it was dawn, the rain had almost stopped, and there was moisture everywhere. In a few moments, the residents of this area will have to get up and go to work.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we left here as soon as possible. I found a small restaurant, ordered breakfast, and the two of them ate while discussing the next plan of action.
"Old man Liu's daughter, and the fat man in the small supermarket, all said that the building had been demolished a long time ago." I said, "Let's start here and ask you what you think of the detailed process of the demolition of that building?" β
"Okay."
