Chapter 4 The Murderous Building
The first step to the stairs, my heart suddenly closed inexplicably, and then, my whole body had a feeling of swelling of blood vessels, and my hairs stood on end... I can't help but retreat, is it up now? Or wait until you figure out what's weird in this building before you go up? … I sensed carefully, but I didn't sense the aura emitted by the feminine object upstairs, and the more this happened, the stronger the uneasiness in my heart became. Now I can be sure that the statue of Zhong Kui facing the staircase is used to block something. In other words, something, artificially controlled on the upper floors of this building, what could it be, ghost? …
Looking at the statue of Zhong Kui again, because the voice-activated light had been extinguished, it was so dark that I could only distinguish a general outline of the statue, which made it feel even more ugly and weird... There is no turning back from the bow, and since the first step has been taken, let's bite the bullet...
I felt the rune in my pocket, calmed my mind for a moment, grabbed the handrail of the stairs, fumbled for it, and walked up step by step. The staircase on this floor is very airtight, and there are no windows at the turn, so it is very quiet. Even though I breathed very lightly, it still sounded very heavy, and because there was not a trace of wind, the hot air that came out of my nose condensed, burrowed into the collar, and slid to the back of my neck with my step, and the hot feeling was like someone following closely...
Finally came to the fourth floor, the sweat on my back came out, and when I stepped up the last step, I saw that the oncoming wall looked white in the dark, as if it was covered with a layer of filial piety cloth... I coughed lightly, the voice-activated light was not on, I knocked on the wall with my hand, it still didn't light up, I took out my mobile phone and took a photo, there was only a small lampshade on the wall, there was no light bulb at all.
Under the fluorescent illumination of the mobile phone, I saw a big lock hanging on the door of each house on the fourth floor, and a layer of dust accumulated in the corridor, which looked very thick, and there were no footprints on it. It looks like no one has been up here for a long time. I walked back and forth, but I didn't find anything unusual, and when I got back to the staircase, I looked up and said, "Is that thing up there?" …
From the fourth floor to the fifth floor, the dust on the handrail was very heavy, and it was uncomfortable to grab it because my palms were sweaty. In addition to this, there are cobwebs, which are connected from handrails to the walls and cross the stairs. If a drunken man came up this staircase from outside, when he woke up, he wouldn't believe that there were people living on the lower floors of this building...
The scene in front of me made my sense of uneasiness stronger and stronger, and I couldn't help but secretly scold the landlord for his lack of morality, the upstairs is like this, and the house downstairs is actually rented out for others to live in, even if there are no ghosts, the overall feng shui aura of this building will not be good...
Thinking wildly, I went to the fifth floor. The fifth floor is the same as the fourth floor, the voice-activated lights have no light bulbs, and the dust in the hallway looks thicker than the fourth floor. After walking around the corridor on the fifth floor, I still didn't notice it, so I headed for the sixth floor.
When I came to the sixth floor, I was about to use my mobile phone to take a picture everywhere, when I turned my head, I saw that there were stairs going up... There are only six floors in this building, so there is no doubt that the staircase in front of you leads to the rooftop of the building.
On the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors of this building, the air in the corridors was stuffy and dirty because no one moved around for a long time, and the air in the corridors was suffocating and dirty. Looking at the staircase in front of me, I thought to myself, I might as well go to the rooftop to breathe, and then come down to check, and thinking of this, I raised my foot and stepped up.
As the stairs turned and I went up a few more steps, an iron door appeared in front of my eyes, and my phone looked rusty under the fluorescence. The door was plugged in, but it was not locked. I was overjoyed, grabbed the handle of the door plug and lifted it up, and there was a 'cluck' sound, and it sounded like a bomb tearing in the silence, so frightened that I almost didn't jump up. I pricked up my ears to listen, there was no movement below, I gritted my teeth and grabbed the door handle again...
With a 'gurgling' sound, I opened the door and plugged in, sighed, and pulled violently, the door 'slammed' open, and the cold wind 'whirred' poured in, blowing my eyes narrowed and my neck shrunk.
Rubbing my eyes with my hands and zipping up my coat, I stepped through the door and onto the roof of the building. The roof of this building is a concrete floor, and there are many cracks, and in some cracks, there are even dead grass. In addition, this rooftop is full of clutter, what kind of broken Simmons bed, old mats, broken chairs, etc., you name it.
The parapet wall on the side of this roof is about the height of a child, more than half a meter wide. I pushed it with my hand, and it felt firm, so I climbed up. Standing up little by little, looking around, I had a feeling that the world was spinning, my legs were slightly weak, and my heart was high.
From here, you can see the East Outer Ring Road, there are basically no vehicles, and the street lights look like flashing ghost fires. Turning my gaze back, I looked at the neighborhood, and only a few buildings in the distance were still lit, and the rest were dark. Although it is already spring, our city is located in the north, the weather is still very cold, and I feel that there may be snow for a while...
My car is still parked downstairs, the car is dark, I feel that Uncle Yang is not there, I should have called as I said, and I haven't come back yet. I just looked around, and I thought to myself, is there anything unclean upstairs here? If so, why can't I sense it? …
With this in mind, I was about to turn around and jump off the parapet when a sudden gust of wind blew into my coat. As my coat jerked forward, I leaned and fell downstairs...
I was so frightened that my heart almost didn't jump out, so I hurriedly kicked forward with all my foot exertion, and my body finally changed its tendency to fall forward, and I fell off the roof and sat on a cardboard box.
Looking up at the parapet, my heart was pounding, and if I hadn't done anything, I would have fallen from the roof and died... The wind just now was so strange that it was blowing from behind me. When I stood on the parapet, the door was facing me in the distance behind me, could it be that the wind was blowing from inside the door? … From my vantage point, the door looked a little weird, like the black mouth of a beast...
I got up and patted my buttocks, and was about to walk towards the door when my gaze squinted and landed on the roof of the building. There is a room on the roof of this building, which should be a utility room. I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now when I look through the small window of the room from my angle, I see something glowing in the room, like the eyes of some animal...
With a movement in my heart, I pulled a rune out of my pocket and walked towards the room.
The house was unlocked, and the door was fastened with a thick wire. I tried to twist it with my hands, but I couldn't twist it at all, so I went back to the pile of debris, pulled it around, and pulled out a handful of broken pliers, barely working. With the help of pliers, I finally unscrewed the wire that tied the door, pushed the door and walked in.
As soon as I entered, I smelled a strange smell, not just the musty smell of the room, but the smell of something rotting. I walked around a broken table and took a photo with my mobile phone, and I was stunned by the sight in front of me... I saw a small god platform in the middle of this room, and there was a hideous fierce god on the god platform, it was Zhong Kui, and there were two white electronic candles on both sides of the god platform. …
Look at the periphery of this altar again, the four corners of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, respectively, there is a kind of clay pot that is thrown to the dead, each basin has something in it, take a closer look, the basin on the right side in front of it contains the head of a calf, not a prop, it is a real cow's head, it has dried out, and the two eyes are sunken in the eye sockets. The one in the basin on the left looks like a horse's head, a pony's head. And the two basins in the back are a dead black cat and a dead black dog...
The bull head and horse face are the yin of the ghosts of the underworld, and the black cat is said to be the guardian saint of the gateway to the yang realm, and the black dog is said to be the guardian saint of the gateway to the netherworld. There is no doubt that this is used to suppress ghosts, if the Zhong Kui below is to prevent the things in this building from running downstairs, then the Zhong Kui above, as well as the cows, horses, cats and dogs, are to suppress this thing, so that it cannot run up to the roof of the building to escape...
In this case, the owner of the building, that is, the landlord, should have been instructed or, rather, invited to distribute these things. If there are ghosts in this building, and the person the landlord has hired knows how to do magic, then why doesn't that person get rid of the ghosts, but instead stay in this building? Could it be that that thing is very powerful, and that person is helpless? …
Leaving the house and coming to the door of the rooftop door, I put away my mind, took a picture of my mobile phone, and walked vigilantly down the stairs. When I came to the small platform at the corner of the staircase, I was about to continue walking down when I suddenly froze... I saw two footprints on the dust of the small platform...
It must not be my footprints, because my footprints are clear, but these footprints are so blurry that I can't tell if they are human or animal... I was in a cold sweat on my back, looking at the situation, there was really a ghost thing in this building, after I went to the rooftop, it followed me and came to this small platform, so the gust of wind... I shuddered at the thought of that gust of wind, it seemed that it was not the wind at all, but the breath that this thing blew from standing on this small platform towards my position because it was suppressed downstairs and could not go to the rooftop... What the hell is this?!
My heart was pounding, and the back of my head was tingling... There are no other footprints except for the extra footprints on this small platform, and I shine my phone on the stairs below, only to see that there are only my own footprints on the stairs, so this ghost thing is flying up from the bottom? And then landed on this small platform? …
The more I thought about it, the more weird it became, the more I didn't know what it was, and the more frightened I became. In this case, I wish I could see this soon... I've looked at the fourth and fifth floors before, but I haven't found anything, so I think this thing must be hiding on the sixth floor, which I haven't seen...
Using the method taught by the master to pinch my fingers to stabilize my emotions, I took out the rune, illuminated it with my mobile phone, and walked towards the sixth floor below step by step. When I finally came to the staircase, I didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere, and I used my mobile phone to shine on both ends of the corridor, only to see that the dust in the corridor on the sixth floor was about the same thickness as that on the fifth floor.
I walked along the aisle until I came to the end, and when I looked to the right-hand side, I suddenly noticed that the door of the room on the right was unlocked... Not only is the door unlocked, but even the cat's eye has been removed, and there is a small hole in the door. I put my eyes on the small hole and looked in, the room was dark, and I couldn't see anything clearly... Biting my lip, I pushed open the door and stepped into the room...
