The old staircase, the roots of the walls are covered with moss, and the traces of oil smoke have penetrated deep into the wall skin, leaving an imprint on the bricks.

Bai Lian walked up the stairs, and the sound of decoration came from time to time, but for the old people downstairs drinking tea, chatting and playing chess, this sound was just a commonplace daily life, and no one cared.

She passed by a half-hidden door, and glanced at it, Bai Lian confirmed that the sound of decoration was not coming from this room, but from upstairs.

"The Victim."

Bai Lian quickly sketched out what happened.

I am afraid that the sound of the renovation here has attracted the attention of this family, and the residents went upstairs to check and were harmed.

After a moment of silence for the people here, Bai Lian climbed upstairs amid the sound of smashing the wall.

The door was still ajar, and there were no bodies or blood in the doorway.

Bai Lian frowned slightly, feeling a little strange.

Of course, it is impossible for her to knock on the door to trigger the anomaly rules unless she has to.

She heard a voice coming from the door, and listened carefully.

"I know it's not easy for people now, but it's too disturbing for you to decorate early in the morning, and I'm here to persuade you, you also ripped off my head, it's not good to have such a temper, but fortunately I'm beautiful and kind, otherwise it will be a big mistake again."

A young man's voice came from through the door.

“？”

A question mark appeared on Bai Lian's head.

What is this person talking about?

Curiosity made her stand still.

"And there are a lot of people's heads here, some of them stink, you see, it's rude for you to snatch other people's heads like this, quick, return these heads, oh yes, and my head, remember to give it to me."

The young man said again.

Bai Lian began to think that Zhou Mingke might not have told her all the information.

This abnormal feeling is about to become a sperm.

She thought for a moment, and peered through the half-hidden crack in the door.

Since this was a straightforward old and dilapidated child, Bai Lian was able to see the situation in the house.

I saw a dark shadow coiling around the room, and on the opposite side of it, there was a person.

To be precise, a body without a head.

The voice seemed to come from his navel.

"Wait a minute, what if I take it back and it screws me off again?"

Suddenly, from behind the dark shadow came the same voice as the young man.

Bai Lian looked over and saw a whole wall of display cabinets, full of all kinds of heads.

The rancid smell seemed to gush out when she saw this scene, burrowing into Bai Lian's nasal cavity, and the stench that was enough to make people unconscious on the spot hit her brain, but fortunately, Bai Lian himself had experienced a lot, but he was only slightly dizzy.

She was now certain that the dark shadow was the anomalous entity of the [Tenant Upstairs], and that the heads were the victims.

But what is the sacredness of the headless body and the head that speaks on the cupboard?

"Don't worry, I told it, trust is the most powerful weapon of human beings, you have to believe it first, and then question it."

Navel said.

"Okay."

The head seemed to agree with the other party's statement for the time being, and let the headless body pick it up and put it back on his neck.

"Exactly."

The head said, grinning and smiling.

The next moment, the black shadow suddenly enveloped the head, pulling it out with great force, and blood splattered everywhere, staining the walls.

The head was put back on the display case by the black shadow.

Seeing this, Bai Lian subconsciously held her breath, she did not act rashly, but calmed down and continued to observe.

The headless body that fell to the ground twitched, and soon got back to its feet.

"You see, it can't see its head on its neck, it must be very jealous because it doesn't have a head of its own."

The head opening that was placed on the display case.

"Then why don't we pinch its head out?"

Navel said, reaching out to touch the black shadow, trying to rub a head out like a dough.

It's a pity that the shadow probably has no substance, and no matter how you pinch it, you can't pinch a head.

"Regret."

The young man's head sighed.

"No way, let's go first."

The navel said this, and the headless body immediately lifted its head and walked in the direction of the door.

Seeing this, Bai Lian immediately took a few steps back, then went upstairs and peeked at the entrance of the building.

Crunch –

The door was pushed open, and the young man with his head turned back to say hello and say goodbye to the dark shadow.

The door was closed, and there was another sound of renovation coming from inside.

However, the headless body ignored it and went downstairs with its head in its head.

Bai Lian was silent for a moment, sent a brief message to Zhou Mingke, and followed the young man downstairs.

I saw him return to the door of his house and put his head on his neck.

Soon, he was alive again, as if nothing had happened.

Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly stopped what he was doing.

With his neck twisted, he looked upstairs.

"Xiaobai? What are you doing here? ”

The words in Qiao Dui's sight hinted at his Bai Lian's location, and he asked curiously.

Bai Lian was slightly surprised when her name was called, but soon, she deduced that the other party probably knew herself, and from the known information, this person should have only one identity.

"You're Qiao Dui?"

She remembered the somewhat incomprehensible words written on her body.

Although those words were very strange, what Qiao Dui did just now was even more bizarre, which was enough for Bai Lian to decide to rewrite the words describing him, such as "Qiao Dui, don't have anything to do with him" and the like.

"yes, why didn't you go to school?"

Qiao Duan asked enthusiastically, opened the door and beckoned Bai Lian in.

"Boss asked me to check the anomaly here, it's the one you just encountered."

Bai Lian, who was wearing a high school uniform, sat on the bed, this picture was slightly large-scale, but Qiao Duan obviously didn't care about this.

"yes, it just stole my head, and I have to get revenge!"

He said indignantly.

Look at the information about it."

Bai Lian sent the information to Qiao Du through WeChat.

As Qiao Du read, she explained a few words.

"The depth of this anomaly should have deepened, and now even the sound of renovation can be heard outside, and most of the cases that are happening in Jiangcheng now are estimated to be caused by this anomaly, and we need to find a way to limit it."

The anomaly could not be eliminated, and Bai Lian could only find a way to restrict it.

"So, this anomaly just makes noise, and if someone goes to him for a theory, they will have their head broken?"

Qiao Du happened to finish reading it at this time, and he simply understood.

Although after mastering the rules of the anomaly, he could theoretically use the power of [Terminal] to anchor it, but now he can only anchor one anomaly, and he can't pull two at the same time, and he has to wait until the follow-up, and he doesn't know how many tasks he will take.

So in order to stop this anomaly from being a problem, it is necessary to figure out what exactly is pulling it deeper and find a way to limit it.

Thinking of this, Qiao Du had an idea.
