Chapter XXVIII
The old boy led the two men forward in the attic. Because this is a mezzanine, the space for movement is very narrow. The overall layout of the attic is triangular, built with wooden beams horizontally and vertically, and if you don't pay attention, you will touch your head. There is a lot of dust here, and there are cobwebs on the beams. It didn't take long for the three of them to be unkempt and covered with ash.
"When was this place built?" Liu Yang asked.
Lao Tong said: "It can be more than 20 years, it was still a female boss at that time, and it was a sensation." The tower was a landmark of ours at the time, but as the years have passed, it is now an eyesore of garbage. ”
After walking for a while, the old boy stopped them and said that they had arrived at the place.
Liu Yang turned on the flashlight and took a photo, and the beam that appeared in front of him was thicker than the other beams, and there was not so much dust on it. In the middle of the beam, you can clearly see the traces of rope strangling and interlaced canine teeth.
Lao Tong said: "This tower used to be open to the public, but then three people died, and it was blocked. One is a little girl, when she was alive, she was particularly fascinated by a singer in the city, and took the initiative to dedicate herself to the hotel. How can you say this, you can't rely on other singers, you are a big girl with flowers, just ask how many normal men can sit still. The two of them did it, of course this singer has a serious girlfriend, and the little girl is unwilling, and then she ...... here" He pondered the words: "Died." ”
"How do you know in such detail?" Xu Dazhi asked.
Lao Tong said: "I was the one who sent her away back then, how could I not know." When she died, she deliberately wore a red dress and red pants and hung herself on this beam with a red rope. ”
"Turned into a ghost?" Liu Yang wiped his nose and asked a little scared.
Lao Tong nodded: "It's very troublesome." There are two kinds of dead people that we are most afraid of when we send them to life, one is to hang ourselves; One is drowning. Although she is gone, there is still a resentment condensed on the beam, which cannot be resolved. ”
"And the two dead?" Xu Dazhi asked curiously.
"One cut his wrists, one jumped off a building. The one who cut his wrist was rather strange, and when he found it, he didn't see a lot of blood next to the corpse. I didn't intervene in this matter, the specific circumstances are not clear, and later I heard from the police that this was not the first scene, and that the person who cut his wrists was killed somewhere else, and then transported the body here. Anyway, it's a headless case, and it won't be solved in the end. ”
Xu Dazhi touched his shoulder, looked around, and felt a little scared.
The old boy took out an incense burner from his coat, inserted three sticks of incense into it, put it under the beam, and bowed with his hands folded. Liu Yang and Xu Dazhi also followed and worshipped.
Lao Tong hit Liang Zi with a blind stick: "Li Damin was psychic here at that time. ”
Liu Yang swallowed his saliva, pointed at Liang Zi and said, "Can I touch it?" ”
"Touch it. I'm here, it's fine. ”
Xu Dazhi watched from behind, and he didn't join in the excitement and touched it. In his opinion, Liu Yang is purely looking for trouble, can you touch the flowers again?
Liu Yang came to the bottom of this beam, touched the beam with his hand, and walked back and forth a few times.
He suddenly stopped and asked, "Brother Tong, do you still have an impression of the mask that Li Damin wore at that time?" ”
"Hmm. Remember. I haven't seen it, but Li Damin described it to me as a Japanese woman's mask. ”
"yes, where?"
Lao Tong was stunned, thought about it carefully, and said: "I really forgot about this, at that time, Li Damin was poor and tossed, and Mi Po and I finally got him out." Completely forgot where the mask was. ”
At this time, Xu Dazhi interjected: "I still have an impression. At that time, in the video, Brother Tong, you shouted to take off the mask. Then that Mi Po forcibly took off the mask on Li Damin's face, as if throwing it away, I remember. ”
"When you say that, I'm a little impressed." Liu Yang lit the flashlight around, then chose a direction and walked over with his waist bent.
It was too dark here, and there was only one light source for Liu Yang, so I saw his figure gradually disappear with the light and shadow, disappearing into the depths of darkness.
Xu Dazhi sat down and asked casually, "Brother Tong, is smoking allowed here?" ”
The old boy stood in place with a stick, his face slightly sideways, his face expressionless, as if he was listening to something.
Xu Dazhi saw that he didn't answer, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. I took out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket, took out one and turned it upside down in the palm of my hand, stuffed it in my mouth, and then touched my pocket with my hand, but I didn't bring a lighter. It's a mess. At this time, Lao Tong suddenly spoke: "Look at the incense." ”
Xu Dazhi snapped his fingers, this old boy is powerful, knowing that I didn't bring fire, let me put the cigarette on the incense and light it, my brain is smart. With a cigarette in his mouth, he walked over to the censer, and was stunned at the sight.
There were three incense sticks in the incense burner, two of which were still burning, and the other one had long since been extinguished. It was burned into two short and one long, and looked like a "mountain" shape.
"What's wrong?" Lao Tong wondered.
Xu Dazhi described the situation tremblingly. I secretly complained in my heart, I was really a god of decay, and I met three long and two short incense with Xie Ling, and now I met two short and one long incense, which doesn't mean auspicious signs, why am I so unlucky.
Lao Tong's face changed suddenly, and he knocked the ground with a stick: "Hurry up and call that guy back." ”
Xu Dazhi stood up and shouted loudly: "Liu Yang, Liu Yang." ”
Before the words fell, I only heard a "bang" in the distance, and the whole building was like an earthquake, and the ground was trembling. Xu Dazhi sat on the ground, the cigarette rolling out of his mouth, so frightened that he didn't know it. The old boy leaned on a stick and followed the sound, exploring the way step by step. Xu Dazhi couldn't stay still and followed behind.
Because it was too dark to see, Xu Dazhi had no choice but to drag Lao Tong's clothes. After walking for a while, Lao Tong stopped, and Xu Dazhi saw smoke and dust rising in front of him, foggy and foggy, and there was a faint yellow light, shooting out from the inside of the smoke, almost unrecognizable.
Xu Dazhi was frightened, knowing that something was wrong, he hurriedly walked over and looked down at the beam. It turned out that this part of the attic had collapsed, and a huge hole had been broken in the ground. Liu Yang's flashlight came from below, and it was obvious that he also fell down with the floor.
Xu Dazhi stood on it and shouted: "Liu Yang, Liu Yang, are you okay?" ”
Below the attic is the fourth floor of the tower, and the height from the ceiling to the bottom is only three meters, so it should not be too badly injured. But for a long time, there was no response below. I saw a flashlight coming out of the fog and dust, the pillar of light did not shake, obviously no one moved, did something happen?
"What's wrong?" Lao Tong asked.
Xu Dazhi wiped his face: "No, I have to go down." ”
"You can't get down." Lao Tong said: "The room on the fourth floor has always been locked. Even I didn't go in. ”
Xu Dazhi was a little frightened, once Liu Yang fell badly, he would be in trouble. Now you can't just leave, you have to find a way to rescue Liu Yang. He visually measured the distance and told the old boy that he was going to jump into the fourth floor from this hole to see what was going on.
The old boy stopped him, took out a wad of burning paper from his blanket, muttered words in his mouth, and burned it with a lighter.
Xu Dazhi was anxious, when did you still burn paper. He didn't discuss it with Lao Tong again, he dragged the wooden beam next to him with his hand, felt that it was quite strong, and then took the beam and began to climb down little by little.
Soon, his upper body was still in the attic, and his lower body was already suspended in the air on the fourth floor. The light below was dim, but I could barely see a rough rubble on the ground, broken beams, broken bricks, and piles on the ground.
Xu Dazhi took a deep breath, at this time he had no place to borrow his strength, so he could only jump down. He looked down, didn't think much of it, and jumped down. Just as he was jumping, he heard the old boy above shouting: "Don't go down!" "Xu Dazhi's intestines are all repentant, you said that you could die in a second.
He lost his mind in the air, fell to the ground, stood unsteadily, and fell to the ground. When my foot stepped on the rubble, it felt like it was broken, and it hurt.
He struggled to his feet, looked up, and the old boy poked his head out of it, and then threw down a ball of fire. It turned out to be burned paper money, which was thrown from it with black smoke and flames.
At that moment, Xu Dazhi suddenly had a strong illusion that he was like being in hell in the underworld, watching relatives and friends separated by yin and yang burning paper money for him in the yang.
This feeling passed as soon as he was stunned, and Lao Tong shouted above: "It's not clean down there, there is yin qi, hurry up and find Liu Yang and leave here." ”
Xu Dazhi walked to the place where the rubble lit the flashlight, pulled it a few times with his hand, and finally dug out the flashlight. Fortunately, this thing is quite sturdy, and it was not broken, and he shined on the ground with a flashlight. Liu Yang should not be buried underneath, although this piece of rubble is paved with a large area, bricks and tiles are vertical and horizontal, but a discerning person can see that there are no people buried underneath.
Xu Dazhi raised his head and looked around, although there was a flashlight, but the smoke and dust were very large, and many places were dark and cloudy, so he couldn't see clearly at all.
This Liu Yang disappeared inexplicably?
The old boy shouted from above, "Hurry up." ”
Xu Dazhi is really hot, when is this going, still going, where is going. Since this is here, we have to rescue Liu Yang first. But walking so blindly, the light is poor, and I really can't find a place. He simply walked to the window at the far edge of the room, and then searched the wall again, so that at least he had a sense of direction.
Before I could get to the window, I saw a figure lying on my stomach in the window. He chuckled in his heart, Liu Yang? Could it be that he is desperate and wants to jump out of the window? He shouted: "Liu Yang, isn't it you?" ”
In the flashlight, the person was very thin and black, and he didn't look like Liu Yang. Could anyone else be here? He walked slowly forward, and the figure became clearer and clearer. At this time, there was silence all around, except for the slight "gurgling" sound of the soles of shoes rubbing against the rubble.
Seeing that it was about to pass, he suddenly slapped his shoulder hard. Xu Dazhi said "I'll rely on", and suddenly it was like falling into an ice cave, his whole body was numb, and his scalp was blown up. Who? Who filmed me?
He reluctantly looked back, it was okay if he didn't go back, and he was half scared to death when he turned around. Behind him stood a white-faced and red-mouthed woman, her face as white as paper, her mouth as bright as blood, and a strange smile, looking at her.
Xu Dazhi immediately reacted, it must have been Liu Yang who picked up the mask and put it on to scare people. He suddenly became angry and yelled, "What are you doing? Interesting? ”
