Chapter 230 The Drowning Woman in White

"Uncle, can you take us to the ninth floor?" I immediately stepped forward and asked.

Lao Jia lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, cast us a glance, and said, "I can ask, you all look at things, why do you have to go to the ninth floor?"

I said bluntly, "Go see a friend."

"There are no friends of yours on the ninth floor. If you don't believe me, I'll take you up now."

Lao Jia led us into the elevator, pressed the button for the tenth floor, glanced over his head and asked doubtfully, "Is it Liu Banxian who introduced you?"

I froze for a moment, glanced at Chu Yuan beside me, smiled awkwardly, and nodded prevaricately.

The security guard obviously didn't believe it, and asked suspiciously: "How did you know Liu Banxian?"

I'm not good at lying in the first place, and when he questioned me like this, my brain immediately lost its light.

"We only met Daoist Liu once, and we just heard him mention it, so we wanted to come over and have a look!" Bai Yang took over the conversation from the side, probably knowing that the more he said, the easier it would be for him to reveal his truth, so he only said two ambiguous words. sentence.

The security guard didn't seem to doubt it, so he said: "This building is very strange. The former water plant owner said that whoever can fix the strange things here will give a full [-] yuan."

"You must also come here for the bonus, right? It's no secret, but let me tell you the truth, this building is very evil. Several groups of people have come here during this period, and this matter can't be settled. You go in and have a look Looks fine, but I advise you to go back early!"

I saw that there was something in the security guard's words, and my heart sank: "Uncle, can you tell us what happened in this building?"

After exhaling smoke rings and sighing, Lao Jia said, "It's a long story. The predecessor of this building was a waterworks. The water from the reservoir was sterilized here, and banned products were sprinkled. Every household, there are several water storage tanks in the factory, that guy, each water tank is five or six meters high."

"It all happened many years ago. Back then, the equipment of the waterworks was also poor. Unlike now, they are all automated."

"One day, the water plant received complaints from residents, saying that the water coming out of the faucet was yellowish, and there were things like hair strands. At first, no one took it seriously. Later, there were more and more complaints. Said that the leader started to feel something wrong when he drank the nail cap, so he quickly asked the workers to open the water tanks and check them one by one, and when they found the ninth water tank, guess what?

"In the No. [-] jug, a female corpse was found inside."

When the female body was found, the whole factory exploded. The female body was originally a worker in the factory, but because of emotional problems, she jumped into the water tank and committed suicide.

But the weirdest thing about this matter is that the entrance of the water tank is very narrow, not as big as a basketball, and can only accommodate a few pipes at most. If a living person wants to go in, he must weld the entire valve open.

How the female worker jumped in at the beginning is a different explanation.

This incident became quite a big issue afterwards, and the higher authorities blocked the news, saying that the pipes were rusted, but the nearby residents had already begun to doubt it and came to ask for an explanation.

In the end, the entire water plant was shut down, and workers emptied each tank and cleaned it thoroughly.

I thought the incident was over, but a few days later, several workers jumped into the water tank to commit suicide, and their bodies were swollen.

The situation began to get out of control, and the water plant couldn't continue to operate. Fortunately, there was more than one water plant in the city, and the closure didn't have any impact. After another two years, the water plant raised funds to build a building, and couldn't afford the land. factory area.

Because many people were drowned in the old factory area, it became a dangerous place, so before the building was built, the construction party specially invited an old Taoist priest to guard it.

After the old Taoist went to the scene to see it, he said: "It is possible to build a building, but the entire ninth floor must be sealed. Nine is the number of the end, representing death, and the first female worker who committed suicide died in the No. [-] water tank." of."

"Sealing the ninth floor can be regarded as suppressing her ghost, and there are too many workers who died in the water plant. After the ninth floor is sealed, it will be used for them to live in. If you don't do this, something big will happen to this building in the future."

"I have heard people say that in the construction industry, there are so many evil things. Why do every construction site have to fire cannons before the start of construction, and some bridges and roads have to burn paper to sacrifice cattle and sheep for large projects. This is the reason .”

"That's why the construction party didn't dare have the slightest doubt about what the master said. After the master left, the construction party discussed with the water factory and decided to do what the old Taoist said. So the building belonging to the water factory was built like this."

While we were talking, we returned to the tenth floor, Lao Jia threw away his cigarette butt, and said with a horrified expression: "In recent years, nothing major happened in the family building, but many residents reported that they often saw a woman in white with disheveled hair, in the middle of the night. Dangling in the corridors. Sometimes it would float into the houses of the residents, which is very awkward. Someone saw the woman's face and went crazy on the spot."

Bai Yang asked curiously: "What does that woman look like?"

Lao Jia took a breath of cold air: "Where have I seen this before? I want to see what she looks like. I'm going crazy, but some old workers suspect that that woman was the first one who drowned in a water tank back then." Ladies!"

"You don't know, there are several crazy people! After a long time, many residents have moved out. This place is evil and the location is remote. It can't be rented out. The house is empty here, and thieves dare not come. "

I heard a layer of chills on my back, no wonder, I felt something wrong as soon as I came in, the corridor was dark and full of dust, and sister Hongyan also said just now that this place is very dark.

The dusty and terrible past was uncovered, and I could vaguely smell the smell of water and rust.

Lao Jia sighed, and continued: "I didn't have any special skills in the past two years, and I was getting old, so I had to come here to work as a security guard on the night shift. On the first day of work, I ran into that woman. At that time, I stared at her back, look It's very clear that she doesn't even have feet under her skirt, and she walks floating!"

"I was so scared that I collapsed on the spot. Later, I met her several times when I was on the night shift. At that time, I wanted to quit my job, but you said how difficult it is to find a job in my situation?"

"I'm not a hard-working person, and the treatment here is good, thanks to the fact that I met Liu Banxian later, he was very sad, went into the building to have a look, went to the photo studio to develop a photo, and gave it to me, saying, put the photo next to me , that woman will not dare to come to you again."

As he said that, Lao Jia took out a crumpled photo from his pocket, and I took a look at it. The person in the photo was a bit fat, like a Maitreya.

Bai Yang and I looked at each other, unexpectedly this person's photo can still be posted.

But the person in this photo looks a little uncomfortable, I can't tell you the details, it's weird.

"Is the photo really useful?" Bai Yang asked him.

Lao Jia took care of the photos: "I didn't believe it at the time, thinking that a photo can scare away ghosts? Could it be the leader of Tongtian Sect!"

Liu Banxian just shook his head when he heard Lao Jia's words, and said in a hoarse voice, "This is an eminent monk who has passed away from Zhengde Temple. As long as you are devout and worship every day, you will be safe."

Lao Jia was skeptical when he heard this, but Liu Banxian was right: "It turned out to be good. I kowtow to the photo every day. Since that day, I have never seen a woman in white again."
