Chapter 9 Renting a House in a Murderous House

"That's exciting." It was said.

"Stimulation?" Lao Wang glared at the beads of his eyes: "This is why I live so old and well-informed, and ordinary people who have already been scared of heart disease when they encounter jumping off the building." My chest is still tight, and as soon as I close my eyes, I think of the big red pajamas in the pool of blood, and they are shaking like this in front of me. No, my boss mentions it, you have to give me a salary increase, and from time to time I have to live for ten years. ”

"Is the deceased who jumped off the building really pregnant?" I asked.

Before Lao Wang could speak, the old man pretended to be capable: "Where are you?" Do you have documents? Is this a place you just walked into? ”

I became popular all of a sudden, so many old ladies came in with you, you don't care, you have the spirit to see me. It's no wonder that I'm a person who looks more Sven, with gold-rimmed glasses, and a simple and simple face, who wants to bully him twice when he sees it. Lao Wang leaned back on the seat and drank hot tea: "Young man, hurry up and get out, don't ask around." ”

The old ladies next to her also sneered: "Now this person in society is bad, if something happens, see who is dead and has spirit, just wait to pick up jokes." ”

Being squeezed by them, I was angry and slapped the table: "Don't talk nonsense there, I'm here to rent a house." ”

Those few people looked at me like they were mentally retarded, they just jumped off the building and died, and some people ran here on the pole, but their brains let the door clamp.

After saying this, I also regret it, now the shared house has half a month to expire, and I am quite used to living and want to renew the lease. Who knew that his brain had somehow short-circuited, and he wanted to run to this rented house.

"Really, don't joke with us." The old man said.

"I don't have time to tease you." I took my bank card and ID card out of my pocket and slapped it on the table.

Lao Wang wore reading glasses, took a worn-out notebook from the table, opened it and searched carefully: "The people who want to rent houses in this building are registered with me, and I will show you." There are vacant houses on the 8th, 15th, and 21st floors, where do you want to rent? ”

I secretly touched Ma Danlong's address and said, "21st floor." I like to be quiet. ”

Lao Wang glanced at me with a strange expression and didn't say anything. He didn't hurry to put on his sleeves, looked like he was doing business, held the landline phone, checked the number and called: "Sister Liu, someone came to rent your house, are you not at home?" Okay, you come down, it's a young man, it's in the communication room. ”

I was very uncomfortable, I wanted to come and see, but who knew that Lu Dao really lived. Living in such a murderous mansion building, who can be strong?

After a short time, an old lady in her fifties looked depressed, there was no blood on her face, and she was sad. When I came in, I asked, "Who rents the house?" ”

"You're Sister Liu, right? I rent. I said.

"Where are you, young man?"

"I work nearby and want to find a house closer to me, but the place where I used to live was too far away and the transportation was inconvenient."

Sister Liu picked up my ID and looked at it: "Okay, you come up with me and take a look at the house first." ”

We took the elevator and went up. This building is really old, and it still uses the oldest elevator. There was a terrible smell coming from the elevator, and I was frowning and covering my nose. Sister Liu stood in front with her back to me, unable to see my small movements.

None of us spoke, and there was silence in the elevator.

Soon to the 21st floor. Turning the corner from the elevator door is a hallway, with a window facing the street on one side and a door to the house on the other. The hallway was empty and deserted, and there was not even the most common doorway clutter in the home. Sister Liu walked in front with a hunched back, I followed behind, looking through the window, the 21st floor is not to mention high, and the vehicles below are like matchboxes.

Walking through this corridor, who knew that there was a corner of the road, and inside was a deep doorway, without lights, and it was as dark as a cave. Sister Liu continued to walk inside, and I was a little uneasy. If you live in a room in the corridor outside, it's just that, there is such an eerie place to go.

Fortunately, there are sensor lights in the corridor, which are lit when you meet people, but the lights are dim and scatter a dark yellow light. The corridor is like an old photo from many years ago, glowing with the yellow of years of precipitation.

Sister Liu came to a door, the door was painted with red paint, and the word "Fu" was still pasted on it for some unknown year and month. The dirty paper is incomplete, and it is placed upside down and pasted on the door, the so-called 'Daofu'.

Somehow, I suddenly remembered the scene in the basement that Peng Gang said, when he was standing in front of the basement door, and there was such a blessing word on the iron door.

Thinking about this, I feel a little weird, and I can't say anything unclear. Before she had time to think about it, Sister Liu opened the door.

The room inside is a two-bedroom and a living room, the hall is very deserted, there is a broken sofa, opposite is a 30-inch LCD TV, and there is a dining table in the middle. I touched it, the table was still clean, there was a faint smell of oil, and I guess there were people eating here not long ago.

The toilet is against the wall, and the two rooms are lined up on the left and right of the toilet door, with the door facing each other. I saw the room on the right with a locked door and a pair of men's slippers in the doorway. Sister Liu opened the door on the left, walked in, the area inside was not large, only twenty or thirty square meters, there was a bed, a wardrobe, and a computer desk, and a white curtain with small petals hanging on the window, clean and clean, like a girl's boudoir.

I was about to sit on the bed, when I suddenly remembered something, and jumped up like an electric shock: "Fuck, Sister Liu, don't hurt me, is this the room where the girl who jumped off the building lived?" ”

Sister Liu looked at me in surprise: "Where do you want to go?" I can't do that even if I lack virtue. The girl's name is Lin Xia, and she also lives on the 21st floor, on the other side of the corridor. But you guessed it right, the former tenant here was indeed a girl who had moved away for a long time and had been empty and had not rented out. ”

"Who lives on the other side?" I asked.

"There is also a young man on the other side, who is about the same age as you, and he has been moving in half a month ago. The young man is quite rich, and he paid half a year's rent at once. ”

I blinked, tentatively asking, "What does he do?" ”

"Who knows what Lu Dao is doing. I'm not a nuisance, as long as I pay the rent, don't cause trouble for me, I generally don't inquire about the privacy of tenants. If you want to know the way, you will be in charge of it in the future. I can tell you, that guy is an honest man, not like a troublemaker, don't worry. ”

"I see the door locked......"

"It's Sunday, people might go on a date with their girlfriends, it's normal. But I haven't looked at this guy a few times, maybe he's busy with work. Okay, what about the conditions, I don't want much, 500 a month's rent. You can ask all over the world if there is such a price in the urban area. I'll tell you the truth, the reason it's so cheap is because something happened in this building, and you saw it this morning. ”

"I always feel uncomfortable, what the hell is the girl who jumped off the building?"

Sister Liu looked at me and sighed: "Xiao Liu, we are both our own families, and the eldest sister is a real person, so I can't pit you." I'll be honest with you, the house where the little girl who jumped off the building lived was also rented out by me. Because of this incident, the police interrogated me all morning. ”

"Why did she jump off the building?" I asked.

Sister Liu's eyes rolled: "Are you renting or not?" Give a good word. rented a house, the eldest sister said. ”

"Let's rent it." I nodded. I have a hunch that I'm on the verge of the whole situation.

Sister Liu is not a perennial charter wife, the contract is with me, we signed a rental agreement, I paid a quarter's room fee and deposit, the old lady's face is happy, this is the girl who jumped off the building: "This girl's name is Lin Xia, she moved here last year, and it seemed to be with her boyfriend at that time, I remember that there was such a young man." But the two did not live together, and Lin Xia always lived here by herself. What do we say, this little girl is so nice, she looks chubby, she looks very cute, she is sensible, she cleans up the house, sometimes my family has something, and she takes the initiative to help. I really didn't expect such a good girl to jump off the building. ”

She sighed.

"I heard she's pregnant, right?" I asked.

Sister Liu blinked mysteriously: "Sister, I'm not a person behind my back, she is indeed pregnant." I remember a month ago, she sneaked to me with a pregnancy test in her hand, saying that she hadn't been here for a long time. We have experience, and we look like we're pregnant, and congratulations to her. As soon as she heard that she was pregnant, her face immediately became ugly, and she went back without saying anything. ”

I rubbed my forehead and thought about it. Ma Danlong assumed that he did have the ability to travel through the Yin and Yang worlds, so the suicide accident that happened in this building must have something to do with him to a greater or lesser extent. Don't ask me what I'm sorry for, that's how I feel. It's like a room that suddenly stinks, and one of the people in the room has a bad stomach, saying that this fart has nothing to do with him, and the ghosts don't believe it.

I originally wondered if Lin Xia's death was related to Ma Danlong, but when I heard Sister Liu say this, it didn't seem to have any connection. Lin Xia's boyfriend can't be Ma Danlong, she jumped off the building when she was pregnant, it was completely a problem with her emotional line, and she didn't seem to have anything to do with Ma Danlong.

I thought about it, and I was a little distracted, and unconsciously, it seemed that I was the only one left in the room, and Sister Liu disappeared inexplicably. An indescribable chill rippled through the room, slowly soaking in like swamp water, spilling over the body. I suddenly got goosebumps, and the coldness soaked into my bone marrow. My mind felt like I was confined to a very small area, shivering with cold, and it felt like I was in a nightmare.

Guess what I remembered. I remember when I interviewed Brother Peng, he described his experience of having a heart attack while swimming in the winter. I couldn't move, I was weak, my bones were soaked in ice water, and my consciousness gradually dissipated, as if I had been sucked into a black hole.

I fought with my upper and lower teeth, and I didn't know where to burst out of a momentum, and I shouted, "Ahh Standing up suddenly, and seeing Sister Liu standing in front of her, she was so frightened that she covered her chest, and her face turned pale: "Xiao Liu, what are you doing, I'm scared to death of my eldest sister." ”

I looked at her, swallowing and cold sweat on my forehead. I felt that something was wrong when I saw the "Fu" posted on the door just now, why did all the experiences that Peng's father and son talked about appear in my life one by one? The one next door to Malay is so evil!

I wiped my sweat and said with a smile: "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't know how to fall asleep just now, I had a nightmare, and I woke up scared again." ”

Sister Liu patted her chest and said, "Little Liu, don't scare your sister." I was scared by Lin Xia's girl once, and I scared you again, the eldest sister has to have a heart attack. ”

This is really a crow's mouth, how can you compare me to a dead man.

She said a few more words to me and left. As soon as she left, my heart was empty. Looking at the unfamiliar room, it feels like a grotesque dream.

I sat on the bed for a while, picked up my phone and called my roommate.

As soon as he heard that I was going to move, he immediately ran away and scolded me on his phone for five minutes. We have a good relationship, and we made an appointment to continue renting a house together, and this time I broke my promise. Scolding and scolding, I still have to borrow his car to move with a hippie smile.

I made an appointment to move in the afternoon, and I had to go back to tidy up my things. Came out of the room and walked out into the hallway. I realized that the lighting here was very poor, and it was not yet noon, and the light in the corridor was a little dim and gloomy. I looked down the long hallway, looked back at the doorway of the black hole, and regretted it very much, this hellish place, even good people can go crazy if they stay for a long time.
