The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 23

The third uncle was also taken aback, hurried over and asked, "What's the matter? What are you talking about?"

"Ghost...ghost...hand...hand..."

I have been unable to utter a complete sentence because of fear.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly passed by before his eyes, and ran to the end of the corridor like a gust of wind.

"There..." The presence of my third uncle by my side really made me temporarily abandon my fear, and chased towards the end of the corridor with a flashlight in hand.

Sure enough, the sound of footsteps came from behind, and the third uncle followed suit.

There is no light in the corridor, it is all illuminated by the flashlights in our hands.

The black figure quickly disappeared in the darkness, and our flashlights could only illuminate a short distance ahead.

But I have been chasing to the end of the corridor only to find that this is a dead end.There was no passage ahead, just a locked window.

I took a photo with my flashlight and asked, "Third Uncle, do you think that black shadow is a human or a ghost?"

I asked a question and no one answered. When I turned around, I found a face very close to me.

I was so scared that I let out another exclamation and stepped back suddenly.

"What's it called? Am I that scary?"

It was Liang Yue, and I was relieved.

"What are you doing so close to me? You want to scare me to death?" I said impatiently.

But when I looked again, I found that there was only Liang Yue here, and there was no third uncle.I took a picture of the corridor I passed by with a flashlight, and it was dark and there was no one there.

"Where's my third uncle?" I asked loudly.

Liang Yue also raised her voice and said, "What are you yelling at? How would I know about your third uncle. I saw you running this way like a madman, so I naturally followed."

"Oops." I didn't have the mood to pay attention to Liang Yue, I muttered something, and walked back holding the flashlight, trying to find Third Uncle.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Liang Yue said loudly.At the same time, he followed me step by step.

I looked back and found that Liang Yue's face was a bit wrong.Xin said, she is a woman after all, no matter how courageous she is, in this kind of situation, she still has to be afraid when encountering such a thing.

I said to her: "We have to find my third uncle. In this kind of place, anything can happen if we are separated. Didn't you notice him when you came here just now?"

Liang Yue shook her head and said, "Could he have gone to the basement by himself?"

I said no, he wouldn't leave us to the basement.

We were talking, and when I looked up, I found that we had walked near the elevator entrance without knowing it.

Liang Yue had sharp eyes, she pointed to the elevator: "Look."

I was startled, and hurriedly looked over, only to find that the numbers on the display screen showing the floors on the elevator were changing.

7...6...5...

"Look, look, I said that your third uncle has already gone down." Liang Yue pointed to the elevator and said.

The elevator has been going down, although I don't believe that Uncle San will leave us and go downstairs by himself, but this fact speaks louder than words.

"Then what should we do?" Liang Yue asked.

"What else can I do? Go down and find him." I stared at the number on the elevator changing little by little. After it became "1", it didn't stop, but stopped at "-1".

The elevator doors slammed open, so loudly that we could hear it clearly from above.

Liang Yue reached out and pressed the down button, and the elevator went up again with a clang.

I asked Liang Yue, "Is this the only elevator here?"

Liang Yue nodded: "This is the office floor, and now only this elevator is open. There are several elevators in the mall, but none of them lead here."

I now think that it would be a good idea to leave here as soon as possible.It's a little creepy to think about what just happened, but after the experience, it's a little calm again at this time.Even the sound of the flute that had been lingering in my ears seemed to have stopped.

The elevator came up quickly, and we walked into the elevator one after the other.

Liang Yue asked if we also went underground?
I glanced at the time, and after so much tossing around, it was already past 12:30, and it was less than half an hour before the one o'clock agreed by my third uncle.

So I reached out and pressed the button on the first floor, and said, "Let's go to the agreed place on the first floor and wait for Uncle San. I don't want to make trouble now."

Liang Yue glanced at me and muttered, "Coward."

I was anxious: "Who are you calling a coward? You are so brave, go to the basement by yourself."

After being robbed of a sentence by me, Liang Yue curled her lips in displeasure, but in the end she restrained herself and didn't say anything to me.I am funny in my heart, I am timid, and I always laugh at others.Whoever says he is not afraid of such a ghostly place is either stupid or crazy.

I watched the elevator go down bit by bit, and suddenly my mind flashed, and I thought of a question.

I slapped my head, my brain must have been messed up by a series of things just now, why didn't I think of this?
The problem is that when we saw the elevator going down from above, we subconsciously thought that Uncle San had entered the elevator and controlled the elevator to go down.

We were all negligent. In fact, there is another possibility, that is, someone pressed the elevator below.

This was originally a very common common sense problem, but none of us could think of it at the time.I glanced at Liang Yue, but didn't say anything about it.In my heart, I still hope that my third uncle took the elevator down.Otherwise, the underground has already been sealed, and someone suddenly presses the elevator down there. Speaking of this is enough to make people's scalp tingle.

The elevator seems to be more noisy at night, rattling and vibrating a lot.I panicked, don't tell me there is something wrong with the elevator again?

The two of us stood in the elevator without saying a word, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.In order to ease it, I deliberately said: "Assistant Liang, you are such a big group, why don't you repair the elevator properly."

Liang Yue said a word, and I almost peed in fear.

She said: "This elevator has not been overhauled for five years, and it is already working well."

"Damn it, what's the matter? Is the elevator going out of control?" I leaned against the elevator wall, praying that the elevator would not go wrong.

Fortunately, although the elevator was a bit noisy, it didn't affect the operation, and it reached the first floor soon.

I was ready to get out of the elevator, but the strange thing was that the elevator didn't stop on the first floor, but continued to go down with a bang.

"Huh?" Liang Yue and I were surprised when we discovered this problem.The button on the first floor is still on, how can it not stop?

"Bah, you crow mouth, let you talk." Liang Yue glared at me and complained.

I waved my hand and said, "Don't worry. It's already the first floor, and you won't die if something goes wrong."

The elevator soon arrived at minus one, and this time the elevator paused and finally stopped.

The elevator door slid open slowly, and a cold wind blew in from the outside.The dim yellow light in the elevator flickered a few times, but it seemed to be going out.

Damn, that's an electric light, not a candle, how could it be blown out by the wind?

Fortunately, the light only flickered a few times, as if the voltage was unstable, and it was not completely extinguished, but the brightness was obviously much weaker.

I picked up the flashlight and shook it outside. It was so dark outside that the flashlight could only shine two or three meters away, and I couldn't see anything.

Liang Yue and I didn't dare to go out easily, so I just opened my mouth and shouted: "Uncle San, are you there?"

"Are you there... are you there... are you..."

The basement floor is more spacious, and the echoes are farther and longer.

But there was still no response from the third uncle.

Liang Yue tugged at my sleeve: "Why don't we...can we go to the first floor?"

I nodded, and pressed the extinguished layer of buttons again.

The elevator doors closed slowly again.My heart is a little more stable. Compared with the outside, I feel safer in this elevator room. After all, there is light here, and there are not so many unknown things.

I remember a sentence, but I forgot who said it, that is, darkness represents the unknown, and the unknown is the most terrifying...

But just before the elevator door was about to close completely, an arm suddenly came in through the gap in the elevator door.

This is beyond our expectation. Under the dim light, the skin on the half of the arm is exposed, which is that kind of dead gray.

It's the same color as the hand I found on my shoulder when I was on the top floor.

"Ah..." Liang Yue and I exclaimed without any surprise.

And after the elevator door touched the arm, it slowly opened again.

As the elevator door opened wide, I saw a person standing outside the elevator.A gust of cold air rushed towards the face, and the light on the top of the elevator flickered a few times, then went out with a snap.

I had already turned off the flashlight, but now it was dark all around.

Judging from the color of that hand, the person opposite is definitely not a living person.

Thinking of this, my scalp tingled and I frantically turned on the light.With a flash of light, Liang Yue kicked up and kicked the chest of the man opposite. The man kicked back a few steps, but did not fall down.

"Hurry up, turn off the elevator." Liang Yue called out anxiously.

I quickly pressed the door close button, and this time the elevator door closed smoothly.We have already pressed a floor, so the elevator wobbled and went upstairs.

After leaving the underground, the light in the elevator flickered a few times before turning on again.

Liang Yue and I stretched out our hands to cover our chests at the same time, the violent heartbeat made us unable to calm down.

We can't explain everything that just happened.

Liang Yue asked, "Is that your third uncle outside?"

I shook my head: "How is it possible? Look at that skin... It's clearly the skin of a dead person. Do you have a morgue underground?"

"Put...you're talking nonsense. We're not a hospital, how could there be a morgue."

Liang Yue subconsciously wanted to say fart, but it might feel a little indecent, so she changed the words.I didn't have the heart to laugh at her at this time, and started to worry about third uncle.

As a result, the unexpected happened again.

As we talked, the elevator had crossed one floor and continued its way up to the upper floors.
