Chapter 82: Strange Neighbors
"You're talking about the Cixi community?"
"yes. In the southern suburbs, this community is relatively close to our unit.
My family lives in the city, the southern suburbs are too far away, I rented it for convenience, not to mention cheap, although it is the seventh floor, but this community has an elevator, many communities in the urban area are not elevator rooms.
But cheap is cheap, I'm not stupid, the owner said not to make money, because the scenery is remote, so just earn some heating fees and property fees or something. But when I signed the contract, I still had an extra mind, ouch, I thought I was smart, I was afraid that this house was a murderous house, and I specially inquired around.
You say that you can't prevent this and that, but you can't prevent it.
After I inquired carefully, except for the cremation service center not far from the community, everything else was quite normal. The house was very clean, and there was no mess happening, and then I was relieved.
This house is very well furnished and everything, and I moved in directly with my bag.
The house type of this community is very special, the house is very large, it is more than 100 square meters, if it is not for this scary thing, such a cheap big house, it is really good.
There are two houses on each floor of this building, and the doors are facing each other, and the corridor between the two houses is long because of the elevator and stairs in the middle.
It was because of the long corridor, I was busy moving my luggage on the day of the move, and I didn't know how to do it, and the sensor light on the other side of the door was not on that day, so I didn't pay attention to the situation on the other side of the door at that time.
When I went out to work the next morning, I locked the door and turned around, and suddenly the sensor light in the whole corridor turned on, and I realized that the door frame was a little strange.
Out of curiosity, I walked over and found that the door frame was shaped.
This kind of decoration on the door is really the first time I have seen it, because the door of the building is at most a high-end security door, and I have never seen it decorated with stone bars, not to mention, this stone bar is still made of gray granite, and there are protruding tile eaves above the door frame.
I stood for a while, and the more I looked at it, the more panicked I became, because it looked like a tomb gate. At this time, the sensor light suddenly went out, and then there was only the green and faint safety indicator in the corridor.
I quickly stomped on the ground, and the sensor light instantly turned on again, and I went to work.
This can't blame me for thinking too much, who do you say can use gray granite for the door frame.
You know where gray granite is used, although I don't know very much, but I have also been to cemeteries, this kind of stone is most common in cemeteries.
On the way to work, I wondered if it was okay for the door of the building to be decorated like this, but when I thought about it, maybe the personality of the person is like this. I had already been silently curious about the family.
I went to work on time every day, and after a few days, I had never seen the neighbor on the other side, which piqued my curiosity even more.
A week after I moved in, I still haven't seen anyone enter or leave the door, and I thought it might be because I didn't meet at the wrong time, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
But there was always a stench in the hallway, which smelled like some rotten soup from a garbage bag.
That is, on a Saturday night, I was playing Red Alert on the computer, and before I knew it, after twelve o'clock, I went to the toilet and suddenly heard something in the hallway.
My curiosity struck me, and I thought that the mysterious neighbor had finally appeared.
So I tiptoed to the door, and then leaned on the cat's eye to look into the corridor, to my surprise, the sensor light in the corridor was not on.
Although the sensor light was not on, I could vaguely see through the dark green fire indicator light that the door on the opposite side was open, and a slender figure walked in.
I was still a little disappointed, I didn't see the men and women living in the door clearly, and I was a little speechless, there must be something wrong with this sensor light.
But when I think about it, what am I anxious about, this is a long time coming, and I will always see the true face in the future.
The next day, Sunday, I got up quite late, on the weekend, it's normal to sleep lazy, so it's almost noon after I get up, *** crispy breakfast and lunch together.
This house has a large spacious balcony with a pendulum in the middle
There was a dining table, and I ate noodles there, and I looked at the balcony of the opposite door while eating.
Actually, I couldn't see anything, and on the day I moved in, I found a layer of gray bricks in the window on the side of the balcony of the opposite door.
Although I think it's weird, because it's the first time I've seen bricks in the glass window, but maybe this is a decoration style, because the balcony side of my house in the city is also blocked by a bookshelf, so this family can barely accept it, and the door frames of his house are pretended to be like that, maybe what style is in the house.
But the more his house is like this, the more I want to know what the people who live in it look like.
Alas, in retrospect, I was so curious.
Another day passed, and I still didn't meet the neighbors on the other side, and I thought maybe we just didn't have the right time, or maybe the family was working in the city and came back occasionally.
That night, not long after twelve o'clock, I was washing up and about to go to bed, when suddenly I heard movement in the hallway, obviously the sound of people walking, and I guessed that someone had come back from the door.
I hurried to the door and looked through the cat's eye, and to my surprise, just like the last time, the sensor light was still not on, and I still vaguely saw a figure entering.
I was a little speechless, wondering if the sensor light in the corridor was broken or if the power would be cut off at twelve o'clock, why did the chain drop at the critical moment.
So as soon as I went out the next day, I was going to stomp down in the corridor and cough again, to experiment whether the sensor light would work, but when the door opened, I hadn't done anything, and the sensor light was on instantly, and both sides could be lit.
Only then did I realize that this sensor light is actually quite sensitive, and there is no need to stomp your feet at all, as long as there is a sound, it will definitely turn on. So I concluded that maybe the property side closed the gate after 12 o'clock in order to save electricity or something.
In order to test my hypothesis, starting at ten o'clock that night, every hour after that, I went out to see if the sensor light could be turned on.
You see how idle I am, don't I find trouble for myself?
In my experiment, the sensor light was on at least until twelve o'clock, and just after twelve o'clock, I was about to conduct my last experiment when I suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor.
This time I heard it very clearly because I was right at the door. The footsteps were not fast, and even a little dragged and heavy, as if the person was tired and moving forward little by little.
I was even more curious, thinking that the door came back on time every day, but why did I come back so late, and the footsteps sounded like I had drunk too much or was injured?
I was so curious that I quickly looked through the cat's eye and found that the light in the corridor was still not on, but this time I could vaguely see the back of this person."
"Smack~" The tape went to the head, and Qin Ding turned over.
"I can't tell what this person is wearing, but from her waist it looks like a woman, and she looks like she still has long hair and a shawl, and she has already walked to the door.
It was so dark in the hallway, and with the faint green light of the indicator, I could see that my eyes were about to bulge.
By the time I changed my eyes to look, she had already entered the door.
I didn't go out to experiment with the sensor light that time, because it was obvious that the movement of the neighbor coming back would definitely make the sensor light on.
My curiosity intensified, and I wondered what this woman looked like, maybe she was a beauty. But, I can't figure it out, why the beauty always comes home after twelve o'clock in the evening, this is a problem, and she is alone, this is even more problematic.
The more I thought about it, the more curious I became, and I even wanted to knock on her door and pretend to borrow something to see her real face.
But I didn't, mainly because I was worried...... Heh, what if it's an ugly girl, what should I do if I get entangled? I thought at the time, let's observe secretly, sooner or later.
In this way, I slowly found that the opposite door came back after twelve o'clock every day, and it seemed that she was alone in her house.
Of course, I don't observe from the cat's eye every day, because the back is almost the same, even the movements are similar, and even I sometimes wonder if this person is a woman, and I can't see clearly in the dark hallway, so my curiosity has dropped slightly
Went a little.
But at this time, a strange and strange thing happened.
It was the second Saturday I moved in, and it was sleet outside that day that didn't stop until noon.
I cooked and ate on the balcony, and as I ate, I felt as if a figure was watching me.
I suddenly turned my head and saw a gray figure in the window facing me.
How can I describe it, it is indeed a figure, like a man standing in a window looking at me.
But it had no facial features, just a shadow, or the outline of a person, which scared me so much that my hairs stood on end.
I didn't dare to move at the time, not only because the silhouette of the figure was realistic, but mainly because the balcony was sealed with bricks, and how could a person stand in it.
Then I calmed down, and found that there seemed to be a curtain on the window where the shadow appeared, and the silhouette of the figure actually appeared on the screen, and it was gradually shrinking and deforming.
I quickly got up and walked to the balcony, I had to figure out what it was, or it wasn't too scary.
I walked over and looked closely, and saw that it was just the outline of the screen, very much like the appearance of an old lady with short hair.
I saw that the screen window had been soaked by rain and snow, and the shadow outline seemed to be the wet part, so I directly concluded that it was just a coincidence, and the screen may have had some marks before, so it showed this outline after it was wet.
I thought it was funny, but I was bored, so I didn't pay attention to it, and continued to eat, and when I was done, the screen was also dry, so the seal was gone.
I finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and then I was about to turn on the computer to play Red Alert for a while, but just as the game interface was opened, I suddenly heard someone crying and shouting.
I thought it was a voice from the courtyard of the community, and I went to the balcony to look down and found that there was no one underneath.
As I walked towards the study, the voice came again, and this time I heard it, from next door or upstairs and downstairs.
Because of the floor, I could only hear an elderly man shouting, and I couldn't hear exactly what he was shouting, but it was enough to arouse my curiosity.
So I quickly put my ear to the wall, and I heard the man shouting, "Let me go, let me out."
The more I listened, the more I felt that something was wrong, not only because of these words, but also because the shout seemed to be coming from the next door, and the next door was the opposite door.
I was shocked, it turned out that there had always been people at the door, more than one resident, and an old man, but this old man shouted like this, it's okay.
While I was wondering, there was no movement next door. At the time, I thought that there were more than two people living in the opposite door, but why couldn't I meet them?
I thought about it a lot, but I didn't take it too seriously, and the day went on, and on Sunday afternoon I heard the old man shouting again, but to my incomprehension, she shouted almost exactly the same thing as the day before."
