The glitz fades and returns to the most authentic life.

At the door of the low-key and small rental house, children chase and play, with innocent smiles on their faces.

Neighbors greet each other cordially, they don't like to greet each other through the screen of their mobile phones, and prefer to wander around the old corridors.

Red lanterns are hung high, and homemade stalls of apartment residents are set up in the aisles, selling all kinds of handmade knick-knacks, selling all kinds of cloth, as well as dentists, butchers and rice stalls.

The road is not forgotten, the house is not closed at night, and in the Surabaya apartment, it seems that a unique small society has been formed.

It is isolated from the outside world, and its inhabitants are smiling and seemingly free from trouble.

"The two of you are a little faced, are you here to see the house?" An extremely comfortable voice sounded, and a young man in an old-fashioned old suit stopped Gao Ming and Zhu Miaomiao.

He covered his mouth with his hands, and his eyes seemed to speak.

As an excellent service person, he seems to receive any kind of customer, even if Gao Ming is carrying a broken corpse on his back at this time.

"Yes, look at the house." Gao Ming struggled to stay normal, and he saw a red lantern scattering a bloody light, and in the eerie hallway, monsters were smiling maliciously, and they looked at each other as if they were looking at delicious food.

"My name is congratulations, I am a volunteer of our Hanhai Charity Federation, and I am also the rental agent of Surabaya apartment, do you need me to show you?" With a smile on his face, the young man stepped out of the way, gently patting the dust off his shoulders and looking towards the corridor. There are traces of time on the walls, festive red lanterns reflect the faces of the neighbors, the smell of meat is fragrant, and the old neighborhoods are holding banquets, and everyone is like a family.

There is no elegant art here, but there is the warmth of life, and the most ordinary bits and pieces are the most memorable treasures.

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing Surabaya Apartment, every room here has its own story, you have to feel it carefully, don't look at it with your eyes, and let yourself be here to appreciate its specialness."

"Can you take us downstairs?" Gao Ming really can't listen to it anymore, and the world he and Gong Xi see seems to be completely different.

"Okay, do you have a favorite floor?"

"Let's go to the fourth floor first." Gao Ming got information from the black ring of the white owl that the morgue on the fourth floor and the room with the white lantern were relatively safe, and he wanted to determine a safe area first.

"Fourth floor?" Congratulations is a little surprised, but the customer's needs always come first: "Your vision is really good, there are many empty houses on the fourth floor, and my family lives on that floor." ”

Congratulations on opening the road in front, Gao Ming and Zhu Miaomiao followed behind, two outsiders, one carrying a corpse on his back, and the other covered in blood, but the residents in the building did not feel abnormal.

"It's a weird place." Zhu Miaomiao lightly touched Gao Ming: "Why do you say this intermediary keeps covering his mouth?" ”

"Don't ask, don't be curious, keep your mind normal." Gao Ming still remembered what the young man in the corridor of Building B said, as long as he violated the taboo, he would be hunted, and he had to figure out what the taboo in the building was as soon as possible?

Zhao Xi, who led the way, greeted the neighbors on both sides, and when he passed by the butcher shop, the butcher threw a piece of meat to congratulate him.

Gao Ming looked down the iron gate to the butcher's shop, where several investigators were locked up in a rented house that had been converted into a slaughterhouse, their clothes had been pulled off, and their expressions were horrified.

There was no mutilation on their bodies, and they could not speak when they opened their mouths, and could only make strange sounds like pigs and sheep.

The butcher kicked on the investigator, he seemed to notice something, squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhu Miaomiao, and muttered in a low voice, "It's so fresh." ”

Walking out of the ghost market on the ninth floor, Zhu Miaomiao and Gao Ming felt a lot more relaxed, as if they had removed the boulder on their backs.

Congratulations on throwing the meat given by the butcher directly into the trash when passing by the public toilet on the ninth floor.

"Wouldn't it be too wasteful to throw it away?" Gao Ming saw this detail in his eyes, and he felt that Gong Xi was different from other ghosts.

"My family and I are vegetarians and not interested in meat." Gong Xi spread his hands: "Oh, if you had said it earlier, I would have given it to you." ”

"Not necessarily." Gao Ming shook his head and refused: "Do you mean those people in the butcher shop who can't speak?" ”

"Yes, they are animals dedicated to flesh fairies, they look like people, but they are actually different from us." Congratulations has a good personality, has both the vigor and momentum of young people, and the maturity and responsibility that far surpasses his peers, so it is indeed easy for such an intermediary to gain the trust of customers.

"I see." Gao Ming was thoughtful, and Zhu Miaomiao next to him was almost about to vomit.

"Are you two sure you want to go to the fourth floor? In fact, the house on the eighth floor is not bad, there is no need to choose the fourth floor. "Congratulations on leading the way in front and whispering a proposal.

"What? Can't you live on the fourth floor? ”

"The fourth floor isn't very clean......," Gong Xi stopped, "I mean, the fourth floor is haunted." ”

After saying this, Gong Xi put down the hand covering his mouth, his mouth was sewn up, his mouth was stuffed with coins, and he didn't know how he made the sound.

Gao Ming immediately prepared for battle, and when he was about to throw Brother Zhao out, Gong Xi gestured with both hands: "Ghosts are very terrifying, and they are wrapped around disasters, and it is easy to make taboos when they come into contact with them." ”

"There is an indescribable persuasiveness that comes out of your mouth." Gao Ming didn't feel any malice from Gong Xi, this young man really seemed to be just working hard and wanted to sell the house.

"I'm not kidding." "If you see a room with white lanterns on the fourth floor, you must run." ”

Going down the stairs, they met many strange neighbors along the way, and the residents of the building were all affected by the flesh fairy, all of them looked strange and terrifying, and the flesh and blood showed their inner desires.

Coming to the fourth floor, this floor is obviously much deserted compared to other floors.

Gong Xi took out a large set of keys, and before he could open his mouth to introduce the room to Gao Ming, he suddenly saw a man wearing a mouse mask and dark green clothes lying on a certain door, his body pressing the door panel out of shape.

"Building management? How did you get here? Congratulations was a little anxious, and hurriedly ran over, he wanted to stop the building manager from opening the door, but as soon as he ran over, several children came out from under the building manager's green clothes. The children, too, were all wearing mouse masks, their eyes were red, they didn't speak, they just gouged Gong Xi with their sharp nails.

The door lock was broken, and seeing that the door was about to be forcibly opened, Gao Ming grabbed a child with one hand and threw it aside, and then Zhu Miaomiao also came with a fire axe.

Sensing that Gao Ming was approaching, the building manager seemed to sense something, and he stared at Gao Ming's heart, and the red eyes under the mask kept blinking.

After a moment of standoff, the building manager turned to leave, and the children in the mouse masks got under his clothes again and disappeared.

"Thank you, thank you so much for today." Congratulations was frightened, and he looked at the terrifying digging marks on the door: "It looks like I'm going to live in another house again." ”

"Who's that man?" Takamei felt that the masked man looked at him strangely, and it seemed to want to eat him, but he was a little scared.

"The ones who wear the mouse mask are the building managers, who maintain order in the building and never speak."

"Then why did the building manager find you? What is hidden in your house? Gao Ming found a loophole in the congratulatory words: "If you have any difficulties, just say it, and I may be able to help you." ”

Blocking the door, I have always had a good attitude to congratulate this time for not giving in, and after a long time, the door panel opened from the inside, and a wrinkled face appeared in the room.

"Xiaoxi, are you back?"

The old man's tired voice sounded, and Gao Ming and Zhu Miaomiao both saw the old man in the house.

The other party looked to be in his nineties and did not have any claws on his body.

"Grandma, don't come out!" Gongxi's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be worried about what Gao Ming would do to the old man.

The old man in the house opened the door tremblingly, looked at everyone suspiciously, and the old man was full of white hair: "Who are you?" What are you doing at my house? Are you looking for Xiaoxi? ”

The old man seemed to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease and didn't know Gongxi, so Gao Ming seized the opportunity to say to the old man: "We are friends of Cong's and want to come and see you." ”

"Oh, well, come in. My grandson is a very hard-working young man, very diligent and kind-hearted, but his life is not good. The old lady was on crutches and entered the house.

Congratulations on seeing this, and had no choice but to accept his fate: "Come in." ”

The rental house is not big, it is very warmly furnished, there are not too many items for the elderly in it, and there are congratulations and photos of the elderly everywhere.

Supporting the old man, after repeatedly confirming his life, he discovered an astonishing fact - this old lady is a living person!

A living person living in a world of shadows!

"I'm sure you've found out." Congratulations closed the door, and he looked at the photos all over the room: "My grandma is a ghost, and she has been following me since she died, probably because I have always worried her." ”

"She's a ghost ???" Gao Ming looked at Gong Gong with wide eyes: "In your cognition, you are human?" ”

"Isn't that so?" Congratulations told the story of himself and his grandmother, when he was very young, his parents came to Hanhai to work, but both disappeared. Grandma took him to Hanhai to find his father and mother, looking for people and living at the same time, congratulations on being pulled up by grandma a little bit.

They live in an apartment provided by the Charity Federation, in order to make Grandma not so tired, Gong Xi is very sensible, very diligent, and will work several jobs every day, he and Grandma depend on each other until Grandma dies.

But the strange thing is that one day later, he suddenly found his lost grandmother in the building again, but his grandmother didn't seem to recognize him.

This is a story told from his own point of view, but Gao Ming heard a completely different story from the old lady's mouth.

The old man hugged the photo frame of congratulations, she said that she was sorry for congratulations, she couldn't help congratulations, and she came to Hanhai to wander with congratulations, and as a result, she ruined her life.

She asked Gong Xi to join the Charity Federation, and later Gong Xi seemed to have heard news that he shouldn't have heard, and disappeared in the building, and she kept looking for her grandson in the building, but never found it again.

"My grandmother became a ghost and was confused." Congratulations on sitting next to the old man and holding the old man's calloused hand: "She forgot a lot of things, and even I don't recognize them." ”

Contacting the story told by the old lady, Gao Ming looked at Gong's face again, Gong's mouth was sewn up, and his mouth was stuffed with money. From this point of view, what the old lady said may be the truth.

Sitting on the bed with one person and one ghost, Takami didn't expect to encounter such a scene in the building, he used to just use these strange stories of the shadow world as a game, but the truth doesn't seem to be the case.

Moving his gaze to Zhao Xi, Gao Ming hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Zhao Xi, your family has become a ghost, aren't you afraid?" ”

"Of course I'm afraid." Congratulations didn't let go of his hand: "I'm afraid that she is worried that I can't eat or sleep well, I'm afraid that she will always worry about me, I'm afraid that she will think I'll be bullied, and I'm afraid that she will suddenly disappear one day." ”

A certain string in his heart seemed to be touched, and Gao Ming wanted to tell the old man the truth, so he slowly squatted in front of the old man and gently held the old man's other hand: "Grandma, if Gong Xi comes back, but he becomes a ghost, will you be afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid ......," the old man nodded, "I'm afraid I won't recognize him." ”
