In the surveillance video, the content filmed in the corridor is first.

I saw a long-haired black woman in a wedding dress standing at the elevator entrance of the corridor, and soon the elevator reached the floor, and she walked into the elevator.

The video switches to the inside of the elevator, and the woman is standing in the corner of the elevator so coldly, and suddenly, she looks up at the camera, which is creepy.

When the woman left the elevator and switched to the surveillance video in the lobby on the first floor, the woman came to the door of the closed iron gate, and suddenly melted into a shadow like snow and got out of the crack in the door.

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

Uncle Qin, the security guard, said to the others.

"Hey, evil gate!"

On the other side, the uncle who was walking the bird with a birdcage also said.

"What do you think, young man?"

On the side, the grandmother who had just returned from buying vegetables looked at Qiao Dui.

"Really!"

Qiao Du also agreed.

Isn't this my ghost bride last night?

"Old Qin, you have to protect us."

The uncle who walked the bird said a word, and left the apartment with the birdcage without anything.

The crowd dispersed.

Qiao Du sat down in front of the security guard Uncle Qin.

"Uncle Qin, let me ask you something."

"You say."

Uncle Qin took a sip of the wolfberry water in the thermos cup.

"If you leave here at twelve o'clock in the evening, will you die?"

Qiao Du was very serious.

“.”

Uncle Qin's movements froze.

He glanced at Qiao Dui, and then at the surveillance.

"So that really you last night? You went out? ”

Uncle Qin couldn't help but ask.

"yes, and then I died."

Qiao Du nodded.

“？”

A question mark appeared on Uncle Qin's head, and he didn't know if Qiao Du was joking, or if he really had any ability.

"Uncle Qin, you haven't answered my question yet, this apartment seems to be a little wrong, isn't it haunted, I'm not talking about the ghost bride, it's a serious ghost."

Qiao Du asked.

Since you've moved in, I won't hide it."

Uncle Qin sighed and then said.

"There are two rules in this apartment, the first is that you can't leave the apartment between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. the next morning."

"The second rule is that you can't move out unless a new person moves in, and when a new person moves in, the one who has lived there for the longest time can move out."

"You saw the people in room 903 move out yesterday, right, because they're the ones who have lived in this building for the longest time, so as soon as you come in, they can move out."

After listening to Uncle Qin's description, Qiao Duan thought about it.

It seems to be the truth.

"How did you find out?"

As an investigator, Qiao Du must ask clearly.

"I don't know, I was looking for a job more than ten years ago, and I found that the salary of the security guard here is quite high, and I also have food and accommodation, so I came to work, but I found out that I was on a thief ship."

Uncle Qin said in a low voice, just like the storytellers in the short videos he often brushes.

"At that time, the person who paid me said these two rules, and asked me to tell those who moved in not to violate it, for so many years, there are also people who don't believe in evil and have accidents, but later everyone understands, and there are very few accidents."

"What about the big Zhuang in room 910 before?"

Qiao Du asked.

"Da Zhuang? Oh, the one you said committed suicide, he seems to have committed suicide. ”

Uncle Qin paused before answering.

"If there is such a suicide, how will the rules be understood?"

Qiao Du asked.

"It won't affect it, if someone commits suicide, then there will always be one less family like this."

Uncle Qin touched his chin.

Qiao Du noticed that when talking about these things, the elderly security guard did not have any fear or weakness on his face, as if he was talking about the weather in the news.

I don't know if it's because I'm used to it.

"Haven't you thought about calling the police?"

As a good law-abiding citizen, the first thing Qiao Du naturally thought of was to call the police.

"Do you think the police will believe that?"

Uncle Qin was a little helpless.

"You see, just like this time, the young man in 910 committed suicide, and the police came to investigate and found no problem, this haunted thing, the police don't care."

"That's right."

Qiao Du pondered for a moment.

Da Zhuang may be inspired by ordinary people, so he found out that something was wrong with the apartment, because the rules of the happy apartment lost his job and was desperate, so he chose to commit suicide, and he had to perform exaggerated to let the police notice.

Of course, it is also possible that because he has a certain depth, he was directly polluted by this apartment and became mentally abnormal, so he chose to commit suicide.

Otherwise, I would have done my normal job, come back before 12 o'clock every night, and get up after 6 o'clock the next day to go out, and I would have a healthy life.

It's just that I can't travel out of the city, which is a bit of a pity.

For Qiao Dui, the biggest trouble should be when she goes out on a mission later.

I don't know for the time being, but if you are in this world, go to a foreign country for two days, and then say to your colleagues at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, "I'm sorry, I'm going to die", it would be too funny.

Qiao Du said goodbye to the security guard Uncle Qin and came to the office to work.

He watered the grass in the pot on the windowsill, turned on the computer, and continued to search the database for news related to the Happy Apartment.

After looking at it for a while, he probably guessed why Zhou Mingke and the others didn't mark this anomaly.

First of all, the anomaly is really harmless in most cases.

Secondly, the people who have suffered this abnormal harm have died thoroughly.

In the end, the conditions under which this anomaly affects are too harsh for colleagues in North Heavy Industries to be almost inaccessible.

The anomalies that are easy to be noticed by the investigators either have a wide range of effects and affect many ordinary people, or the contaminated people are not dead and run out to cause chaos, or they can be seen at a glance when walking on the road.

Like the Happy Apartment, an anomaly that can only be triggered when you sign a contract to move in and go out at 12 o'clock at night is really not easy to find.

However, Qiao Du also found some rule bugs in this anomaly.

For example, the dead are unaffected, because the way it causes damage is by sucking the soul and spiraling people up to heaven at 360 degrees, but because the dead have already died once, they will not die again.

He decided to try again tonight to see if there were any other bugs.

For example, although you can't leave your apartment after 12 o'clock, if you go to the rooftop of your apartment, it doesn't count as a trigger rule, and climbing out of a window doesn't count as a trigger rule.

For another example, the ghost bride is a dead person and will not be killed, so what about machine life, whether the small animals living in the apartment are counted as residents.

He surfed all day at the office, had dinner outside, and came home to scroll on his phone.

After twelve o'clock, the happy apartment seemed to be shrouded in a light veil, and it became hazy.

Qiao Twilight had just finished watching a video of "How did you know I caught a twenty-pound fish" when he got up from the bed.

"It's time for the experiment to begin."
