Chapter Fifty-Six: Exploring the Strange Tower
When I saw that building on the roof of the factory before, I had a gut feeling that there was some kind of relationship between that building and the factory. At this moment, I heard the daughter of Old Man Liu say that it turned out that the building was the original home of Boss Ling of the lighting factory...
"Little Master..."
"Huh?" I came back to my senses, "Sister, I'll ask you again." β
"You say."
"After Boss Ling disappeared, what happened to his home, that is, that building?"
"It's been vacant for a while, and the back seems to have been demolished..."
"What did you say?" I interrupted her, "Demolished? β
"I heard that it seems to be so, but I don't know the specifics, because, after I didn't work in that factory, I almost never went there..."
Although I didn't sleep all night, Xiang Feng and I didn't feel sleepy. I was going to brew sleepiness and take a nap to recuperate, but I couldn't brew at all, the market was already open outside, and it was too noisy to buy groceries and shout.
"Forget it, let's go." I stood up and rushed to the wind, "The man who hit the evil will be fine for the time being, let's leave him alone." Go back to their big yard in Zhubin, bring the car out, and we'll go to the building to have a look. β
"Okay." Xiang Feng said.
Out of the little man's faΓ§ade, through the bustling flow of people, we came out of the vegetable market near the end of the old street, followed the old street back to the main road, stopped a taxi, and took us to the big yard.
When I entered the courtyard, I saw that Zhu Bin was about to go out with someone.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Go find that building, go upstairs."
"No need to go, I've found it."
"Find, found?!"
"Hmm..."
When I entered the house, I saw that Xiao Jiu was lying on the bed, still motionless, and tried his breath, which was not much different from when he first came back from Dongshan Cemetery. I thought to myself, does that building exist or not? If it exists, how did this Xiao Jiu come into the evil? Did he go into that building? β¦
I've heard of ghost ships, and it is said that some ships suddenly and mysteriously disappeared while sailing on the sea, and a few years later, they suddenly and mysteriously appeared. I don't know if that building is also like a ghost ship, I think what I saw last night may just be an image of that building...
Starting the car, I drove towards the factory with a headwind.
"Ah Feng."
"Huh?"
"I think... Wanjin Mountain's brother, that little monster, and the unknown thing that ran out of that strange stone, all appeared in the city, wandering around the stinky river, maybe it had something to do with that building..."
Xiang Feng stared at the road ahead, silently pondering.
"The reason why I feel this way is because the young man got possessed by that thing and ran to that factory."
"Let's go to the factory first." Xiang Feng said.
Crossing the river to the fork in the road, I pointed to the distance, "That's the factory..."
Drove the car into the factory yard, and two people got out of the car.
"Ah Feng, look, this yard is very clean, as if someone has cleaned it..."
Glance around the wind and nodded.
Accompanying Xiangfeng to see every office on the first floor, we went up to the workshop on the second floor. Although during the day, the workshop was still faint and gloomy. On the wall, the big words 'Ling's Lighting Factory' seem to have been brushed up with blood, and after drying, they become dark red, and the scabs fall off and are mottled...
Coming out of the workshop, we went up to the roof.
"That's pretty much it." I pointed southwest and rushed towards the wind duct.
Xiang Feng looked up and down and said, "Ah Leng." β
"How?" I asked.
"I'll open the eye of heaven and take a look."
"Oh, if you don't say it, I'll forget that you have this function, that's the best!"
Xiang Feng smiled at me, closed his eyes, pointed his sword at his face and drew four horizontal and five vertically, and then nodded his eyebrows, and said something in his mouth, opened his eyes in a moment, his eyes became green and faint, and his eyes looked towards the southwest...
I didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, I was inexplicably a little apprehensive in my heart, my eyes stared at Xiang Feng's expression without blinking, and from beginning to end, Xiang Feng's expression did not change at all.
As Xiang Feng slapped his hand on his forehead and put it away, I couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" β
"There's something weird about that place."
"How weird?" I asked hurriedly.
"There's something like a fog."
"Fog?"
"Hmm..."
I thought of what my 'consciousness' wandered into Xiao Jiu's eyes, the fog-like thing around that building...
"Let's go, go over and have a look," Xiang Feng said.
Xiang Feng and I left the factory and walked along the alley across the road behind the factory to the entrance of the alley.
"Last night in this alley, when I answered your phone, there was a noise inside."
Xiang Feng walked in first, came to the place where the mobile phone made noise last night, stopped, took out the compass from his bag, and just approached the building on the right-hand side, the needle of the compass shook, and the magnetic field was really abnormal! β¦ Move the compass away and approach the building on the left, and the pointer is pointing normally...
Xiang Feng and I glanced at each other, and then looked at the building on the right at the same time, the door still locked. I stood up, went to the one on the left, and with a push of my hand, the door creaked open.
"Ask the residents of this upstairs." I said.
"Okay."
When we went up to the second floor, we were met by a girl in overalls, looking at us vigilantly.
"Little sister, don't be nervous." I smiled, "Can I ask you something?" β
"What's the matter?"
The girl spoke with a foreign accent.
I pointed with my finger, "Isn't there anyone living in this building across from you?" β
"Nope."
"Why?"
"Because something happened some time ago."
"Oh?" I was shocked, and asked quietly, "What's wrong?" β
"A couple who came to work from another place and rented the upper floor disappeared."
"Missing?" I frowned slightly.
"Hmm." The girl said, "That couple belongs to our factory, and they can't see anyone alive, they can't see their bodies dead, and they don't know where they have gone." β
I thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know where that couple are from?" β
"I don't know," the girl shook her head, paused, and then said, "I only know that those two people were discharged from the hospital not long before they entered our factory. It seems that I entered the hospital because of a fight, and the two of them fought, and the fight was quite bad, and there were scars on my face..."
My heart was pounding, and I said, should it be, it's the couple who blackmailed Liu Fatzi... How could it be such a coincidence?
When I asked the girl again, I couldn't ask for anything. I thought for a moment and said, "Do you know where the landlord of that building lives?" β
"I don't know." The girl shook her head.
"So, what about the landlord of your building?"
The girl gave me the address and phone number.
Downstairs out of the alley, we walked south along the laneway, came to the main road, followed the main road, and walked east for a while. We came to the little supermarket that the girls said their landlord owned. There is a middle-aged fat man sitting at the cash register at the door, with a local accent, who should be the landlord.
I bought some food in the supermarket, bought a pack of cigarettes, tore open the cigarette case after paying, handed one to the landlord, and talked to him, I mentioned the building. As for the disappearance of the couple, this person is not very clear. I said I wanted to rent a house and asked him where the landlord of the building lived. This man said that the owner of the building lived in the center of the city, and as for his property here, his father was helping him collect rent, and his father was a retired worker, living in a very secluded old mansion, and living in a very secluded old house... This man told us the general location of the old mansion.
"Let's go." Xiang Feng said.
"Hmm..."
Taking a step, my heart suddenly moved, and I said to the fat man, "That's right, big brother." β
"How?"
"In the nineties of the last century, there was a lighting factory in your area, do you know Boss Ling?"
"Why don't you know, of course you do, but you don't have any friendship. The building he used to live in was roughly in the same building across from me, as you just mentioned. β
"Then, Boss Ling's building, what about now?"
The fat man grinned, "Brother, I see that you are quite clever, why are you stupid?" Of course, that building would have been demolished a long time ago, if it wasn't demolished, how would the current building be built? β
I smiled awkwardly and rushed to the wind, "Let's go." β
As I walked, I thought to myself, was that building really demolished? β¦
Coming out of the supermarket, according to the address that the fat man said, Xiang Feng and I walked a short distance and found the old mansion. Inside lived an old man with gray hair and reading glasses. I said we were going to rent a house, but the old man said that the building in his house was no longer rented out, and asked him why, but the old man didn't answer. I tentatively asked him about the missing couple in the building, and the old man looked impatient, ignored us, picked up a newspaper, and read it. In desperation, Xiang Feng and I had to leave.
Coming out of the old man's house, not far away, my mobile phone rang, look at the number, Zhu Bin called.
"Cold... Brother Leng. β
"What's wrong?"
"I think of a... thing. β
"Say."
"Xiao Jiu has a good face in this city."
"Oh?"
"At that time last year, there was a boss surnamed Liu, Liu, who asked us to deal with a woman... Child. β
I smiled slightly, "Not only did you not help him, but you relied on him for a meal, did you?" β
"How do you know? It's God, God. β
"Never mind how I know, you go on."
Although he didn't help Boss Liu, Zhu Bin was very curious and wanted to know what kind of girl Boss Liu asked them to deal with. Therefore, Zhu Bin took two younger brothers to run over to see, including that Xiao Jiu. Zhu Bin and the others are a bunch of bastards, and they don't know where to get a telescope. They went up to the roof of another building and looked with binoculars into the room on the sixth floor of the building where the girl lived. As a result, they saw the girl coming out of the bathroom naked, lying on the bed and masturbating... Xiao Jiu is a virgin, he has never had a relationship with a girl, he is fascinated by it, since then, he has been fascinated by that girl, and he runs there every once in a while... As for the follow-up, whether Xiao Jiu and the girl are getting better or not, Zhu Bin and them don't know very well, it seems that they are getting better...
A mystery in my heart seems to have been solved, no wonder Xiao Jiu was drunk that night, and the fan Dengden came here, I think, maybe it was because of the girl who blackmailed Liu Fatzi...
"What now?" I asked Xiang Feng.
Xiang Feng raised his eyes to stare at the flowing clouds in the sky, thought for a moment, and said, "At night, let's go into that building and take a look." β
"Listen to you..."
(Merry Christmas everyone)
