When I got home, it was already late at night.

Mother didn't say a word, just cleaned Grandpa's house again, and she had never entered Grandpa's house before.

I offered Liu Jie's tablet, lit three pillars of incense, and went back to sleep.

By the time I woke up, it was noon the next day.

My mother said while serving me vegetables: "I discussed with your father, you should go to Xinhai to study, it is a big city, there is development!" I've already helped you declare your volunteer. ”

I nodded, and didn't object.

My college entrance examination results are not good or bad, but there is still room for choice.

And the reason why my mother asked me to go to Xinhai is that I also understand that in the big cities now, there are almost no burials.

Seeing that I agreed, my mother finally showed a relaxed expression: "Then you go early, the big city is different from ours, go and adapt first." Don't take the tablet with you, I'll help you incense. ”

Glancing at his father, it was obvious that his mother had not discussed the latter sentence with him.

I shook my head and said, "Mom, I'll go ahead of time, but I have to bring the tablet, so I can only offer it." ”

The mother nodded silently.

After dinner, I began to discuss with my father about my trip to Shinkai.

She was in a hurry for me to go, for fear that something might find me that night.

So, after only two days at home, I boarded the train to Xinhai nearly two months early.

Xinhai is one of the top three major cities in the country.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw that everyone was in a hurry, as if I was being chased by something I couldn't see, and there was no leisure in a small city at all.

My parents didn't know anyone here, but they entrusted a friend of a friend's friend to help me rent a room in an apartment not far from the school.

Less than 20 square meters, very small, but there is a bathroom and kitchen, at a glance I don't know where to put Liu Jie's tablet.

In the end, it can only be served in the closet, and I only hope that when I leave, the wardrobe will not be blackened by incense.

Settled down and walked around again. I didn't know what to do, so I had to lie down in bed early.

What I didn't expect was that I didn't admit that I couldn't sleep in bed, but was woken up by a loud noise.

Before I could complain about the soundproofing, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, the landlady I had seen before looked past me in a panic and looked into the room.

"Yellow, right? Have you ever seen my house black? ”

"Big Black?"

I was dazed and about to ask, but the landlord couldn't wait to nod his head, and the fat on his face continued to ripple with her movements.

"Yes, yes. Big black, that's what I was holding when you came to get the key......"

"The black cat?" I interrupted the landlord and shook my head: "No, you lost your cat?" ”

"Yes, I'm in a hurry, Xiao Huang, you can help me find it."

After saying that, he didn't give me a chance to refuse at all, and turned around and walked directly to the next room.

I looked at the landlord's back speechlessly, and realized that there were several people following her.

One of them, a young man in his 20s, muttered unhappily, "What kind of person, wake everyone up in the middle of the night to help her find the cat." ”

The young girl in a denim suit next to him said, "Help me find it, Da Hei is very cute." ”

As there was a knock on the door of one room after another, the search for the cat gradually grew, and everyone chatted with each other to find it.

I also have a preliminary impression of my neighbors.

This search lasted for more than an hour, and just when everyone was gradually losing patience, a scream instantly attracted everyone's attention.

When I ran past the crowd, I realized that the young girl who had just been trying to persuade everyone to help find the cat was looking ahead with a frightened expression.

The big black that everyone was looking for was lying in the corner not far in front of her, and the black hair was frozen together because of the blood.

One eye was gouged out by life and stepped on the side.

The twisted body, even an ordinary person could tell, its bones were broken in more than one place.

Seeing this scene, everyone's sleepiness dissipated instantly, and the landlord shouted Dahei's name, but he didn't dare to step forward with tears.

"Who is so cruel?"

"It's terrible, isn't it?"

"Call the police! Alarm! ”

…….

The cacophony of voices finally woke the landlord from her grief, and she looked around with a fierce gaze: "Let me know who it is, I will not let him go." ”

After saying that, I hurriedly thought about the first floor and ran to the first floor.

Everyone was dissatisfied with her attitude and complained and followed. After all, everyone knows that there is surveillance installed here.

I thought about it and followed.

On the first floor, the landlord was checking the surveillance.

There wasn't much space in the monitoring room, and everyone was waiting outside except for a few people who knew the landlord well.

What everyone didn't expect was that as the surveillance was played, the anger on the landlord's face was gradually replaced by horror.

Even the faces of the people watching the surveillance with her changed.

While everyone was surprised, the landlord turned off the monitor abruptly: "No, it's okay, let's go back and rest." ”

Some people still wanted to ask, but the landlord only urged everyone to go back to the room, and did not say a word about the picture in the surveillance.

I, like most people, dissipated with doubts.

As soon as she got around the corner, she heard the landlord almost pleading for the person watching the surveillance with her to dispose of Dahei's body.

But the man was like a snake and a scorpion.

I didn't stop, and the landlord's deliberately low voice faded into obscurity. But the people around him started talking about it.

The young man who had complained about the landlord said mysteriously: "It must have happened again, I have lived here for seven or eight years, and it happens almost a few times a year." ”

Some people who had just moved in asked, and the young man said, "You came late, many people don't know about this, this building." Haunted! ”

Everyone looked at each other and felt a little bored.

Some even got up to leave, but were stopped by young men.

Seeing everyone's disapproval, the young man said: "Listen to me, this place is really dead, and now it is still ghostly, and it will come out every once in a while." ”

Everyone was stunned, and even I looked at it strangely.

Anyway, there was no sleepiness, so everyone simply gathered in the activity space on the second floor and listened.

The young man was pleased with everyone's reaction, and lowered his voice as if he were telling a ghost story: "You see the cats around the frame, there used to be a lot of cats here.......

I listened to him with a yawn.

His story is also simple.

Because the landlord likes cats, he does not exclude raising cats in the apartment, and even plans the second floor as an activity space, which is full of cat climbing frames, etc., so that people can have close contact with cats.

Over time, there were more people with cats in the apartment.

Seven or eight years ago, the apartment organized a fire drill, and everyone ran out, except for a young lady who worked overtime, and missed the drill.

The place where I didn't think about the exercise was locked down due to infectious diseases, and the whole apartment was quarantined, so I had to beg the young lady to help feed the cats.

When the fourteen-day quarantine ended, everyone hurried back to prepare to suck the, only to find that the young lady had died in the activity space on the second floor.

The whole person's clothes were reduced to shreds, and there was not a trace of flesh and blood on his body, only white bones covered with tooth marks.
