Shenyang.

The place where No. 33 Liaoshen Road is located is a unit-type residential building group built in the early nineties, more than 10 buildings, except for No. 33 Liaoshen Road and the surrounding adjacent lots, the rest of the buildings have quite a lot of residents, some of the balconies are drying clothes, and some of the balcony wall hooks are hung with sausages and bacon, such communities are very common in all parts of the country, and there is no difference.

Only when you enter the community, you will find that there is a building standing alone in the north of the community, and you can see it closely, and the building number: No. 33 Shenliao Road.

"Sister Meng, this building is No. 33 Liaoshen Road, this building has nine floors and 8 units, originally it was full of people, but now it has been vacant for many years, and people go to the empty building." Xu Qian introduced.

Sister Meng came to Shenyang on a plane last night, and after she received Xu Qian's call, she didn't say a word, put down the babbling child, and went here directly, without even asking about any tasks.

"Xiaoqian, you said that the Jin Xi you are looking for used to live here?" Looking at No. 33 Liaoshen Road today, Sister Meng was quite surprised.

The whole building was covered in dust, the balconies were empty, and the windows were broken.

"Yes, it does live here." Xu Qian said, "Jin Xi is Zhuge Longyun's only daughter, and the only person who knows his secrets, only by finding her can he get the secrets of the ancient Tibetan religion mastered by Zhuge Longyun." ”

"I see." Sister Meng nodded.

"Sister Meng, it's hard to find clues here now, it's just a yin and yang difference between this place and other residential buildings outside, but other than that, there is nothing strange about this building, just a strange silence."

"Patience, you can always find clues to write, it was a supernatural event back then, but in fact it was just a rumor, which shows that someone is making a fuss about it." As soon as Sister Meng arrived, she was already keenly aware of this.

"yes, that's what I find weird."

There are some small food shops in the shops below the building, and the shopkeepers come to guard the shops during the day, and when it is dusk, they all close the stalls and leave. There is a dumpling shop with a blackboard on the front of the door, on which are posted with rental information. Xu Qian and Sister Meng stepped forward to inquire.

The shopkeeper greeted him warmly and said with a smile: "What are you two going to eat?" ”

"Are you hiring?" Sister Meng said politely.

"Yes, beauty, are you going to rent a house? You've got the right person, we've got a bargain. It doesn't sound like you're a local, right? ”

"That's right. How much does this upstairs house cost a month? ”

"Just three hundred. A lump sum payment for one quarter. ”

"We're only going to stay for seven nights."

"Yo, this is not easy to do, our house here must be lived in for at least a month, this is the rule."

"January is January."

"You have to pay six hundred for the house."

"Why?"

"And three hundred is a deposit."

"Ouch, I said boss, you're a bit too much, what else do you need for a deposit, your shabby house is dusty and dark, if I stay in it and get sick, do you still have to pay for medical expenses?"

The shopkeeper saw Sister Meng's bargaining ability, and he was not very easy to bluff, so he immediately changed his words and said with a smile: "Okay, that's it, look at the beauty, you are a foreigner, help each other, we are all living Lei Feng." ”

Sister Meng thought in her heart: "This ghost building can't be rented out at all, only for outsiders who don't know." So, he gave Xu Qian a look, planning to deceive the shopkeeper.

At this time, Xu Qian asked, "Boss, how did I hear that this building is haunted?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he pretended to be righteous and solemn and said, "This is definitely a rumor." It's not a haunted house, absolutely not. The current situation is very good, stable and prosperous, where will there be ghosts? There are still two families living in the building. ”

At this time, in the residential community not far away, several aunts and old ladies with vegetable baskets stopped to look at No. 33, they stared at Xu Qian and Sister Meng like monsters, and they whispered as if they were talking about something.

Xu Qian and Sister Meng received the key, and the shopkeeper asked his son to take them upstairs to see the house.

The shopkeeper's son opened the door on the right-hand side of the fifth floor, and a choking musty smell mixed with dust came to his face, choking Xu Qian and Sister Meng coughing again and again.

The room was a mess, the tables, chairs and benches were covered with thick dust, the windows were broken, the floor was full of broken glass, the red cloth curtains had been stained by wind and dust for a long time, and now they were black and as thick as canvas, and the simple bed frames, bed boards and wooden cabinets were also thick with dust, the cobwebs in the corners of the walls were covered with shaggy dust, and the seemingly sticky snot was attached to the walls. The kitchen and toilets are even more unsightly.

"Dare to rent this place?" Sister Meng sneered, "Even if you deceive outsiders, you should clean up." ”

"I'm afraid that even the store itself is reluctant to enter this ghost building." Xu Qian said.

"That's right."

The house is a one-bedroom layout, with a balcony on one side and a window on the other. The window was also strangely designed, facing the staircase, on the same wall as the entrance door, so that if someone went upstairs, they could see through the window.

"Sister Meng, why are you renting a house here?" Xu Qian wondered.

"If a lie can be concealed for a while, it is a qualified lie." Sister Meng said unhurriedly, "But if a lie can be concealed for a long time, what can you tell me about this lie?" ”

Xu Qian didn't know why, looked at Sister Meng in surprise, and wondered: "Could it be that it has become the truth?" ”

"A lie is always a lie, and it can't be the truth anyway, but a lie is very difficult to last, and if you want a lie to last, you need to keep operating, and keep making up for the lie with lies, so that the truth will not be so fast." Sister Meng said.

Xu Qian nodded, and seemed to understand Sister Meng's words, "I understand, what do you mean is that the rumors of this ghost building back then can be very loud and circulating, but they can't be sustained after all, if this lie has not been exposed until now, it means that there have always been people behind this matter who are handling this matter and not letting the truth surface." ”

"That's right, it's been so long, since it's a lie, the ban on this place should have been lifted a long time ago, and the government won't let this place go to waste forever. Peeling back the cocoon, there is only one possibility for the truth, that is, the story of this ghost building is still being staged. ”

"So you rented this place, did you plan to meet the protagonist of this ghost building for a while?"

Sister Meng laughed, "You said that we two gods and ghosts contract people are standing here, in order to deal with such a small pediatric game, isn't it a bit of a loss?" ”

"Who said it wasn't, if you want me to say, the whole thing was messed up by Lin Kun, do you say it's Sister Meng." Xu Qian pouted and complained to Sister Meng, "Now Sister Qi's action deployment is constrained everywhere, and she has to be reluctant to seek the near and far, and she doesn't dare to easily expose the purpose of her action, not because Lin Kun was pinched by Ye Heping, but he is good, but he still has to drill into it." ”

"Alas, Xiaoqian, don't be like him, there's no need to be angry with yourself, he is this virtue, I was worried about Luo Jianfen's matter for a while last time, forget it, we women, we have to think about it ourselves."

"Oh, hello Sister Meng."

The lights were dim, and the whole building was quiet.

Xu Qian and Sister Meng discussed in the living room.

"When I went downstairs just now, I met an old man, and he said that this building is a dangerous house and cannot be lived in." Sister Meng said, "The old man said that this building is said to be haunted, but the news media refuted the rumor that the residents moved out not because of the haunting, but because the building is a dilapidated house and the quality of the building is problematic." ”

"This is also ridiculous, Shenyang is a sub-provincial city, in addition to the four provincial and ministerial level municipalities directly under the central government, there are only more than ten sub-provincial level cities, all of which are relatively developed." Sister Meng said with a smile, "This is just the government's rhetoric to stabilize the people's hearts, Shenyang's real estate is also very hot, every inch of land is expensive, such a large piece of land is empty, which company is not impressed?" If it was really a 'dilapidated house', it would have been demolished and redeveloped. ”

"However, the residents here have moved away, indicating that the people here must have a reason to go, you think about it, it is not easy for the people to save money for a lifetime to get a house, who will be willing to give up the house unless it is absolutely necessary?"

Xu Qian nodded and said, "Since the residents have moved away, it means that they have indeed encountered something 'unavoidable'." ”

"If the haunting is only for a while, then people should come back, and they will come back." Sister Meng is good at reverse thinking, while Xu Qian is good at progressive rebuttal thinking.

"That's right."

At this time, I suddenly heard a heavy footstep in the corridor, knock, knock, knock......

Xu Qianxiu raised her eyebrows, got up and opened the door, and at the same time held a dagger behind her back.

I saw a young man carrying an old lady on his back, holding the handrail of the stairs with one hand, and walking upstairs with slow steps. The young man looked indifferent, glanced at Xu Qian with slanted eyes, and walked upstairs. The old lady on the back of the young man was pale, bald, a few strands of hair hanging down to her ears, her eyes were gray, her eyes were covered with a layer of gray cataract mucosa, the night light outside the building loomed in her eyes, she bent her mouth, there were no teeth in her mouth, and from time to time she stretched out her tongue and licked the skin of her mouth.

The old lady turned her head slowly and smiled at Xu Qianhan.

Xu Qian returned to the room, and at this time, she could hear the footsteps upstairs. Because of years of disrepair, when people walk on it, the floor will make an unpleasant creaking sound, and the scalp will be tingling.

I don't know if it's because the voltage is too low or the light bulb is too old, the light in the bedroom is dim, like the light in a dark public toilet.

The windows are pierced, the night breeze blows in, the lights sway, and the bulbs flicker on and off, making people drowsy.

"How is that possible? Is there still a person living here? Xu Qian was surprised.

"Do you see them?"

In the middle of the night, the moon was dizzy and windy, and the dark building was gloomy and silent.

"That's right, a young man carries an old lady on his back." Xu Qian hesitated, she felt something was wrong when she looked up at this building for the first time, she felt that this building looked like something, but she couldn't think of anything after thinking about it.
