what the hell is

Chapter 9 Rent in a haunted house

"That's exciting," someone said.

"Stimulation?" Old Wang stared at his eyes: "This is how I live at such an old age and have a lot of experience. For ordinary people, they would have a heart attack when they encountered someone who jumped off a building. I still feel tight in my chest. When I close my eyes I just think of the red pajamas in the pool of blood, swaying and swaying in front of my eyes. No, I have to mention it to the boss, I have to give me a raise, and if this happens from time to time, I will definitely lose ten years of life."

"Is the deceased who jumped off the building really pregnant?" I asked.

Before Lao Wang could speak, the old man put on a show of competence: "Where are you? Do you have a certificate? Is this a place you just entered?"

I became angry immediately, so many old girls followed in, you don't care, you are energetic when you see me.It's no wonder that I look more refined, with gold-rimmed glasses and a simple and honest face, anyone who looks at me wants to bully me.Lao Wang leaned back on the seat and sipped hot tea: "Young man, hurry up and don't ask me."

The old lady next to him also sneered: "People in the society are so bad now, if something happens to see who died, they will be energetic, just waiting to make jokes."

Being squeezed by them, I got angry and slapped the table: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm here to rent a house."

Those people looked at me like I was mentally retarded. I just jumped off the building and died, and some people ran around on the pole. Could it be that their brains were caught in the door.

After saying this, I also regret it. Now the shared house will expire in half a month. I am used to living in it and want to renew the lease.Who knew that my brain was somehow short-circuited, and I wanted to rent a house here.

"Really, don't joke with us." The old man said.

"I don't have time to tease you." I took out my bank card and ID card from my pocket and slapped them on the table.

Old Wang wore reading glasses, took a dilapidated notebook from the table, opened it and looked it up carefully: "All those who want to rent out the house in this building are registered with me, and I will show you. The 8th, 15th, 21st floors There are vacant houses in the building, where do you want to rent?"

I secretly touched Ma Danlong's address and said, "Let's go to the 21st floor. I like quiet."

Lao Wang glanced at me with a strange look on his face and said nothing.He put on his sleeves in a hurry, and looked business-like, held the landline phone, checked the number and called: "Sister Liu, someone is renting your house, are you at home? Okay, come down, It's a young man in the reception room."

I was very uncomfortable. I wanted to come and have a look at it, but who knew I would actually live there.Living in such a haunted building, who would be happy?

After a short time, an old woman in her fifties came down, her expression was sluggish, her face was bloodless, and she was frowning.Come in and ask: "Who rents the house?"

"Are you Miss Liu? I'll rent it." I said.

"Where are you from, boy?"

"I work nearby and want to find a nearby house to live in. The place I lived in the past was too far away and the transportation was inconvenient."

Sister Liu picked up my ID and looked at it: "Okay, you come up with me and have a look at the house before we talk about it."

We took the elevator up.This building is really old, and it still uses the oldest elevators.There was an awful smell in the elevator, and I frowned and covered my nose.Sister Liu stood in front with her back to me, unable to see my small movements.

Neither of us spoke, and the elevator was silent.

Soon to the 21st floor.Turning a corner from the elevator door is a corridor, with windows facing the street on one side and the door of the house on the other.The corridor was empty and deserted, not even the most common door clutter in the house.Ms. Liu hunched forward and walked in front, and I followed behind. Looking through the window, the 21st floor, not to mention the height, was like a matchbox, and all living beings came and went like ants.

Walking through this corridor, who knows that there is a corner, inside is a deep doorway, without lights, it is dark like a cave.Sister Liu continued to walk in, and I was a little uneasy.It's fine if you live in a room in the corridor outside, but there is such a gloomy place.

Fortunately, there are sensor lights in the corridor, which turn on when they meet people, but the lights are dim and emit a dark yellow light.The corridors are like old photos from many years ago, with the yellow color of time.

Sister Liu came to a door. The door was painted with red paint, and the word "Fu" was pasted with an unknown year and month.The dirty paper was incomplete, and it was pasted upside down on the door, the so-called "Daofu".

For some reason, I suddenly remembered the scene in the basement that Peng Gang mentioned. At that time, he was standing in front of the basement door, and there was such a blessing letter pasted on the iron door.

Thinking of this, I feel a little weird, and I can't tell the truth.Before thinking about it, Sister Liu opened the door.

The room inside is two bedrooms and one living room. The living room is very deserted, with a broken sofa, a [-]-inch LCD TV opposite, and a dining table in the middle.I touched it with my hand and found that the table was clean, with a faint smell of oil. I guess someone had eaten here not long ago.

The toilet is against the wall, and the two rooms are arranged on the left and right of the toilet door, with the doors facing each other.I saw a locked door to the room on the right, with a pair of men's slippers placed by the door.Ms. Liu opened the door on the left, and walked in. The inside area is not big, only twenty or thirty square meters, with beds, wardrobes, and a computer desk. White curtains with small petals are hung on the windows, which are clean and clean. Like a girl's boudoir.

I was about to sit on the bed when I suddenly remembered something and jumped up like an electric shock: "****, sister Liu, please don't hurt me, is this the room where the girl who jumped off the building lived?"

Sister Liu looked at me in surprise: "Where are you thinking? No matter how wicked I am, I can't do that. That girl's name is Lin Xia, and she also lives on the 21st floor, on the other side of the corridor. But you guessed right, The previous tenant here is indeed a girl, she has moved away for a long time, and it has been vacant and has not been rented out."

"Who lives across the street?" I asked.

"There is also a young man on the opposite side, about the same age as you, who moved in half a month earlier. The young man is quite rich, and he paid half a year's rent at once."

I blinked and tentatively asked, "What does he do?"

"Who knows what. I don't hate this person. Just pay the rent in full and don't cause trouble for me. I usually don't inquire about the tenants. If you want to know, you can do it yourself in the future. I can tell you, that guy Er is an honest person, not like a troublemaker, don't worry."

"I see the door is locked..."

"It's Sunday today. He may have gone out with his girlfriend. It's normal. But I haven't looked at this guy a few times. Maybe he's busy with work. Well, the conditions are just that, and I don't have many Yes, the monthly rent is [-]. You can ask around the world if there is such a price in the urban area. Let me tell you the truth, the reason why it is so cheap is because something happened in this building. I saw it too."

"I always feel uncomfortable. What happened to the girl who jumped off the building?"

Sister Liu looked at me and sighed: "Xiao Liu, we are both from the same family. The eldest sister is a real person and cannot cheat you. Let me tell you the truth, I also rented out the house that the girl who jumped off the building lived in. Just because The police have been interrogating me all morning about this matter."

"Why did she jump off the building?" I asked.

Sister Liu rolled her eyes: "Are you going to rent it or not? Tell me a good word. After renting the house, Sister will talk about it."

"Rent it." I nodded.I have a hunch that I've touched the edge of the whole situation.

Ms. Liu is a year-round renter, so she keeps the contract with her. We signed the rental agreement, and I paid a quarter's rent and a deposit. The girl's name is Lin Xia, and she moved here last year. At that time, she seemed to go through the procedures with her boyfriend. I remember there was such a young man. But they didn't live together, and Lin Xia lived here all the time. What can we say, This little girl is really nice. She is chubby, she looks very cute, she is sensible, and she keeps the house clean. Sometimes when there is something wrong with my house, she even offers to help. I never thought that such a good girl would jump off the building gone."

She sighed.

"I heard she's pregnant, isn't that true?" I asked.

Sister Liu blinked mysteriously: "Sister, I'm not a secretive person, she is indeed pregnant. I remember a month ago, she came to me secretly, took a pregnancy test stick in her hand, and said that she had a long period of menstruation Didn’t come. We have experience, we congratulated her when we saw that we were pregnant. But when she heard that she was pregnant, her complexion immediately became ugly, and she went back without saying anything.”

I rubbed my forehead and thought about it carefully.Assuming that Ma Danlong does have the ability to travel between Yin and Yang, then this accidental suicide in this building must be more or less related to him.Don't ask me why, that's how I feel.It's like a room suddenly smells bad, and one of the people in the room has a bad stomach, saying that the fart has nothing to do with him, and ghosts don't believe it.

I originally wondered whether Lin Xia's death had something to do with Ma Danlong, but from what Sister Liu said, it seemed that there was no connection.Lin Xia's boyfriend can't be Ma Danlong, she jumped off the building while pregnant, it's entirely because of a problem with her relationship, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Ma Danlong.

I was thinking about it, and I was a little distracted. Before I knew it, it seemed that I was the only one left in the room, and Sister Liu disappeared inexplicably.An indescribable coldness rippling in the room slowly soaked in like swamp water and spread to the body.I suddenly got goose bumps all over my body, and the coldness soaked into the marrow of my bones.My thinking seemed to be restricted in an extremely narrow range, and I was shivering with cold. It felt like being trapped in a nightmare.

Guess what I thought of at this time.I remembered that when I interviewed Brother Peng, he described his experience of having a heart attack while swimming in winter.I couldn't move, my whole body was weak, my bones were soaked in ice water, and my consciousness gradually dissipated, like being sucked into a black hole.

My teeth were chattering, but I burst out with energy from nowhere, and shouted: "Ah." Standing up suddenly, seeing Sister Liu standing in front of me, she was so frightened that she clutched her chest, and her face turned pale: " Xiao Liu, what are you doing, you scared the eldest sister to death."

I looked at her and kept swallowing, with cold sweat all over my forehead.Ever since I saw the inverted "Fu" on the door just now, I felt something was wrong. Why did the experiences that the Pengs and his sons talked about appear one by one in my life?The one next door to Malay is so fucking evil!

I wiped off my sweat, smiled and said, "Sister, I'm sorry, I just fell asleep for some reason, I had a nightmare, and woke up again."

Sister Liu seemed to be seeing me for the first time. She patted her chest and said, "Xiao Liu, don't scare Eldest Sister. If you scare Lin Xia once, Eldest Sister will definitely have a heart attack."

This bitch is really a crow's mouth, how can I be compared with a dead person.

She explained to me a few more words and left.As soon as she left, my heart went blank.Looking at an unfamiliar room, it felt like a weird dream.

I sat on the bed for a while, picked up my cell phone and called my roommate.

As soon as he heard that I was going to move, he rushed away and scolded me on the phone for a full 5 minutes.We have a good relationship, and we made an appointment to continue renting a house together. This time, I renege on my promise.Scolding is scolding, I have to borrow his car to move with a hippie smile.

I made an appointment to move in the afternoon, and I have to go back and tidy up my things.Get out of the room and go out into the hallway.I just realized that the lighting here is very poor. It is not yet noon, and the light in the corridor is a bit dim and gloomy.I looked at the long corridor, then looked back at the dark doorway, and felt extremely regretful. Even good people can go crazy if they stay in this ghostly place for a long time.
