Chapter 20: The Strange Old Man
Zhou Ze shivered, walking on the mass grave, surrounded by a strong gloomy atmosphere.
The yin wind howled, as if it was the wailing of countless unjust souls, making his heart flutter involuntarily.
Even though it was a summer night, Zhou Ze felt that the clothes on his body were extremely thin, as if a trace of chill could penetrate his body through the clothes. He clasped his hands around his body, trying to resist the cold, but to no avail. In this environment, Zhou Ze couldn't help but feel a sense of fear surrounded by countless unjust souls.
Suddenly he was walking and tripped over something protruding from the ground.
"Oops."
Zhou Ze's face was covered with dust, and he staggered up from the ground, looked at the ground and wondered what something had tripped over him,
And he saw the skull of a dead man on the ground,
The gloomy white bones made Zhou Ze couldn't help but take a few steps back,
Then he stood, trying to calm himself down.
"Whew, it's okay, it's just a dead man's skull, nervous."
Although Zhou Ze kept comforting himself in his heart, his legs were still shaking when he walked.
After walking for a while, Zhou Ze saw that he hadn't walked out yet, and his heart became more and more panicked.
"Why haven't you gone out yet, it's just right in front of you?"
So Zhou Ze looked at his surroundings, almost exactly the same as when he just got out of the car,
Then the things on the ground that Zhou Ze saw made all his hairs stand up,
I saw that the skull of the dead man who had just tripped over Zhou Ze appeared in front of Zhou Ze again,
The dead man's skull stared at Zhou Ze like a demon.
"Damn, what's going on, why can I still meet this, is it ......"
Zhou Ze suddenly thought that he had seen on TV before that if a person couldn't get out of a place, it was most likely because he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall.
"Did the ghost hit the wall?" Zhou Ze pondered.
Then he suddenly unbuttoned his pants and began to release water,
"I hope it helps."
After it was over, Zhou Ze felt that the surrounding environment began to change, and the dead man's skull disappeared, replaced by the corner of a private house.
It turned out that he had come to Longguan Village,
Then a woman came out of the house, saw who was on the ground in the corner, and saw Zhou Ze's movements, and immediately shouted in fright: "There is a pervert!" ”
......
The houses in Longguan Village are very dilapidated, basically one-story bungalows, but there is only one building that is very tall, with eight floors, and that is the Spring Hotel.
Zhou Ze quickly found this conspicuous building, and saw that the building was bubbling with a faint red light with four big characters written on it, Spring Hotel.
Zhou Ze stared at the dilapidated building in front of him and felt a strange aura enveloping him. The conspicuous red lantern seemed to guide him into this ghostly place. He approached the door of the hotel, only to be shocked by the mountains of garbage and the rancid smell of carrion.
The surrounding environment is barren, it seems that it has been abandoned for a long time, and even the wind does not want to blow through this strange land.
He felt a chill all over his body, as if there was an unsettling force hidden around him.
With a "squeak", Zhou Ze pushed open the door of the Spring Hotel,
The inside of the room was pitch black, and it was almost impossible to see inside.
Zhou Ze tentatively walked inside and asked softly, "Is there anyone?" ”
His voice seemed to be swallowed up by darkness, and no one answered.
Seeing that no one answered, Zhou Ze walked inside a little and continued: "Is there someone who is ......?"
Before Zhou Ze's words were finished, an old voice sounded: "Who?" ”
I saw an old man slowly walking down the stairs, his scrawny figure becoming thinner in the dim light of the oil lamp.
His eyes were hollow, as if his life had been exhausted.
The oil lamp flickered in his hand, illuminating his withered hand like a branch. There was a deep scar on his face, and the shadow of the scar became more and more eerie as the oil lamp flickered. The atmosphere around is chilling
Zhou Zeqiang endured the fear in his heart and said, "I want to stay in the hotel." ”
"Stay, okay, please come up with me"
The old man was expressionless, and he didn't wait for Zhou Ze, he walked to the second floor with an oil lamp.
Zhou Ze also hurriedly followed, and when he came to the second floor, the old man put the oil lamp aside and turned on the electric light.
The electric light seems to have some poor contact, and it flickered and went off many times before the weak light appeared.
At this time, the old man had already come to the counter, and he opened a notebook, which recorded the information of the guests.
But that book seems to be very unused, very old, and has a lot of dust on it.
The old man flipped the notebook to a blank page and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you live alone in the hotel?" ”
"Yes."
"Show me my ID."
Zhou Ze took out his ID card from his arms, but probably because he was afraid of taking it out too quickly, his dagger was actually adjusted down with a "bang".
Because the inn was silent, the sound of the dagger falling was very clear.
Zhou Ze hurriedly picked up the dagger, and then handed the ID card to the old man,
The old man also heard the voice, but he only glanced at the dagger on the ground, and did not care, but looked at his ID card.
The old man compared his ID card with Zhou Ze himself for a while with the help of the light, and then said: "Okay, we haven't lived in it for a long time, and it's basically an empty room, so you can choose one to live in." ”
"I want to live in 444."
Hearing this, the old man was suddenly slightly stunned and said, "I advise you not to live in that house, there have been dead people in it." ”
"It's okay, I'm not afraid, I'm a soul exploration anchor, and I just want to live in this room."
In fact, Zhou Ze was terribly scared in his heart.
The old man stared at Zhou Ze deadly, as if thinking about the truth of what he said,
After a while, the old man said, "Well, you can go and stay, but I still have to tell you that you should not pay attention to any sound you hear at night, especially the sound of chopping meat." ”
The old man's voice was like a death knell, and every sentence struck Zhou Ze's heart, and Zhou Ze hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, I know"
The old man stretched out his withered hand and handed a bunch of keys to Zhou Ze,
"Go open the door yourself, I won't send you."
Then the old man went downstairs and disappeared into the black staircase.
Zhou Ze also took the key and walked to the fourth floor,
Downstairs, a pair of eyes stared at Zhou Ze's figure, licked his lips, and showed a crazy smile.
In room 443, Kun Ji sat alone in a dilapidated room trembling,
There are many yellow charms bought on PDD by his side, and he also has an electric rod in his hand.
"Oh, why is this place so scary?"
He looked at the time, at twelve o'clock in the morning, the live broadcast was about to start,
For a moment, Kun Ji wanted to leave, but thought that if this live broadcast was still not as good as Zhou Ze, he would definitely lose his job, and maybe he would be punished by Brother Long.
So he's in a quandary now, it's not that he doesn't go,
"Oh, what can I do?"
Suddenly he heard the sound of the door opening in the next room,
"Are there any new residents?"
Kun Ji was a little curious and was about to open the door and go out to have a look, but as soon as he walked to the door and turned the doorknob with his hand, he felt that the floor under his feet suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and then he fell off the wooden board.
"Ah......h
Zhou Ze, who had just opened the door, heard the shouts from next door, and immediately became vigilant, he slowly walked towards 443, ready to find out,
But just as he came to the door of room 443, an old voice came from behind him,
"Young man, why don't you go back to your room?"
Zhou Ze felt a chill in his back, he didn't dare to look back at the old man, but in his heart he felt that the old man's gaze was staring at him coldly.
Zhou Ze felt as if he had fallen into a terrifying illusion, and the figure of the old man became more blurred, only the oil lamp in his hand flickered with a faint red light.
Under the red light, his face looked even more eerie.
