The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 21
The backyard of the mall was also empty, with a single light on in one corner.

There are some vehicles parked in the parking lot in the backyard, and some discarded carton boxes and other sundries are piled up.It looks extremely messy, and it can be seen that no one has tidied it up for a long time.

The sound of Liang Yue's knock on the door was particularly ear-piercing in the empty backyard, and it made people feel hair-raising.

Liang Yue kept knocking for a long time before she heard footsteps and a lazy voice from inside the building: "It's so late, who is it?"

Liang Yue quickly replied, "Uncle Xiao, it's me, Liang Yue."

Hearing a sound from inside and the sound of opening the door, the iron door opened with a bang.

A skinny old man appeared inside. This old man was very thin and had a strange face shape. He had high cheekbones and shrunken cheeks. He had a few shaggy beards and a pair of sneaky eyes. It feels like... yeah like a mouse.

He should be the watchman surnamed Xiao.We've just arrived, so it's hard to say much.

The old Xiao was shocked when he saw three people standing outside.

Liang Yue asked, "Uncle Xiao, why did it take so long to open the door?"

"Oh, it's fine, I've fallen asleep a long time ago." Old Xiao responded, and then asked puzzledly: "Miss Yue, what are you..."

It seems that Lao Xiao and Liang Yue are very familiar. Liang Yue waved his hand: "It's okay, Xiao Bo. Let's go in and have a look. Don't lock your door. When we come out later, we will go here."

Old Xiao let out an oh, glanced at me and my third uncle, and asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Liang Yue glanced at third uncle, who shook his head slightly.

Liang Yue said to Old Xiao: "No need, Xiao Bo, you should rest if you should."

Through the dialogue between Liang Yue and Lao Xiao, my impression of her has changed.Ordinarily, she is the popular person around the boss, and the old Xiao is just an old man who works on the watch. The identities of the two are very different, but Liang Yue does not dictate to this old Xiao, but respects him very much.In my opinion, such a girl has good character.I just don't know how she could play such a disgraceful role beside Wu Tianyou.Is it also for money?

I was thinking wildly here, Liang Yue led the third uncle into the main building of the mall, and I quickly followed.

I don't know what's going on, but when I passed by Lao Xiao's side, I clearly felt an unpleasant smell emanating from him.And he felt chilly all over his body.

I looked back at Lao Xiao, and found that Lao Xiao was also looking at us with those sneaky eyes.

I shivered, thinking that there would be no problem with this old Xiao, right?

That's the way it is, we have come with a purpose, and everyone is suspicious.What's more, Lao Xiao should be the only one left in this building now.

At this moment, the third uncle who was walking in front seemed to remember something, turned around and came back, and asked Old Xiao: "Master Xiao, have you been working in this building all the time?"

Old Xiao nodded: "It must have been seven or eight years."

The third uncle then asked: "Did you hear any strange sounds during the nights when the suicide incident occurred?"

Old Xiao thought for a while, then shook his head: "You guys have seen it too, I'm sleepy now. I didn't hear anything about the people who died, and I only found out about the dead after hearing about them the next day. .”

My third uncle and I were taken aback at the same time, this old Xiao obviously lied.That old Wei kept saying that he had heard from Old Xiao that he heard the sound of the flute that night.Ordinarily, Old Wei would not lie.

The third uncle nodded calmly, and let Liang Yue lead him to the lobby on the first floor of the mall.

In the mall at night, most of the lights are off.At the center of each floor, there is a dim yellow light, which should be used for inspection.It's just that Lao Xiao is usually alone in this building now, let alone any inspections.

We used flashlights for lighting in most places. Liang Yue asked Third Uncle if he should tell Xiao Bo to turn on all the lights.

The third uncle shook his head: "Not for now."

We went in from the back and walked up to where we stood yesterday when we entered through the main entrance.There was a light next to it.It's just that the light was about to break or something was wrong. The light flickered on and off, illuminating my feelings.

The third uncle looked back at Liang Yue and me, pointed to his feet and said, "The area here is too large. I will walk according to the compass in my hand. From this compass, I can find the most sinister place in the building." Place. Just in case...I mean just in case, we get separated. Don't panic, look at this spot under your feet. Let's make an appointment, and no matter whether we find it or not, we will gather at this place on the first floor. "

I said, "Third Uncle, just let us follow you closely, why did you get separated?"

The third uncle said: "I mean, just in case, don't you have a backup? The situation here is not clear, and I don't want to get separated. Of course, you should follow me closely."

I nodded, the third uncle took out his mobile phone to look at the time, and said, "It's 11:30 now, if we get separated, we will gather here at one o'clock."

Third Uncle held the compass in his hand and lit it with a flashlight.I saw the pointer on the compass spinning continuously, and it took a long time before it slowed down.

At this time, I suddenly had the same feeling as when I entered the main building for the first time.

At that time, I felt a cold air rising from under my feet.At that time, I thought it was too cold.

But now that the entire building is closed, it is impossible to turn on the air conditioner.On the contrary, I can still feel a little stuffy inside, but it's the chill coming from the soles of my feet, which makes me feel like I've stepped on ice.

I took a photo of my feet with a flashlight, but I didn't find anything unusual.

I was just about to ask you if my third uncle felt this way, but my third uncle looked at the compass for a long time and muttered, "It's strange, my compass doesn't work very well today, isn't it broken? Forget it. Well, let's go to the rooftop first. See if we can find anything at night?"

The third uncle is the backbone of both of us. He issued orders, and we can only obey them.

The three of us walked directly in front of the elevator, which stopped on the first floor. After pressing the up button, the elevator door swung open.

I was the last one to walk into the elevator and turned around. The moment the elevator door closed, I suddenly found that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at us in the dark.

I was shocked, and the elevator door was completely closed at this time, and the elevator slowly rose to the top floor.

I turned around and asked Liang Yue, "Do you have cats in this building?"

"Ah?" Liang Yue was dumbfounded by my inexplicable question.

I asked again: "Let me ask you, do you have pets in this building, such as cats and dogs?"

"Of course not. Any cat is also a wild cat. Our group is very formal. Who has nothing to do with cats? Can't be fired?" Liang Yue must think that my brain is broken at this time, so I asked such a stupid question.

Actually, I wondered if the eyes I noticed just now could be animals in the building.Just like the black cat that appeared in the deserted building.

The third uncle asked me: "What's the matter? What did you find?"

I told the truth: "Just now I seem to find someone staring at us. It's just outside the elevator."

Liang Yue said disdainfully: "What nonsense are you talking about? There is no one in this building except Uncle Xiao. Don't play tricks on me, okay? I'm nervous all day long."

The third uncle shook his head: "My eldest nephew has always been very sensitive in this area, so it's better to be careful."

The third uncle knows that my body has insufficient yang, so I can feel many things that they can't feel, so I said that.As a result, Liang Yue became even more disdainful after hearing this: "I feel like you two are talking to yourself. Anyway, if you don't find something practical, don't try to lie to me."

I sneered: "No wonder you insisted on following us, are you here to monitor us?"

Liang Yue straightened her back and said, "You're right. Let me tell you, 20 yuan is not that easy to get. If you dare to fool me and Mr. Wu, I will make you eat it and spit it out for me. .”

As she spoke, Liang Yue clenched her fists, her eyes were cold, and she gave me a hard look.

I was about to argue with her, when suddenly a voice came from outside.

At the beginning, the voice was faintly present, not quite real.

But soon, the voice became clear, and it came into the elevator intermittently.

When I heard that sound, my third uncle and I were startled at the same time, the sound of the flute!

It was a sad and mournful flute sound, like a bamboo flute, but it seemed a little different.

"Not good." My third uncle and I shouted in unison.

Old Wei said that on the night of the suicide incident, this kind of flute sound appeared.This is simply the whistle of death.

Today's elevator seemed to be running extremely slowly. I glanced at the indicator light of the elevator and it was only at the tenth floor.

The sound of the flute still came mournfully. Hearing the sound of the flute, my emotions were actually infected, and I was completely immersed in the sound of the flute.

But the elevator, after reaching the tenth floor, actually stopped and did not run upwards.

"No, something may happen. Let's get out and get to the rooftop as soon as possible." Uncle San reached out to press the door open button of the elevator, and after the elevator door opened, he quickly ran out, flashlighted to find the stairs .

I hurriedly followed. Liang Yue didn't understand, and shouted from behind: "Hey, what's going on? Where is the flute coming from?"

I didn't have time to pay attention to him, and followed my third uncle from the stairs to the eleventh floor, followed yesterday's path, opened the iron gate leading to the roof, and ran to the roof.

At this time, the moonlight shone on the roof, and it was all white.

At the corner position that the third uncle had determined, there was a figure of a person standing impressively.

The third uncle yelled and rushed over quickly.

I didn't dare to neglect, and rushed to that corner.

The matter is obvious, the flute sounds again tonight, and the person who committed suicide also appears.

If we had acted quickly, we might have saved a life.

The figure standing on the low wall of the roof didn't realize our arrival, and his body tilted, and he fell towards the outside of the building.
