Chapter 8 The Lifeless Old Man

February 2020, 2, at 6:17, in the suburbs of Zhonghai City.

A dilapidated five-story gray residential building with creepers creeping between mottled walls.

In the middle of the old building, the second bedroom on the first floor, the dimly lit living room.

Li Ji was wearing a black coat, and next to him were Yan Chudan, a kindergarten teacher who came after receiving the news, and Lu Jianxiao, a programmer who had been cheated by the cycle bus and now joined his team.

With gray hair and an indifferent expression, Shen Jingfu, an old man in a gray coat who looked like a walking corpse, stood to one side.

...

In front of the living room, there are two black and white photos of Shen Mengyue, a young girl with a sunny smile, and her mother, Yu Xinhua.

With a silent face, Li Ji stepped forward and stood in front of the black and white photo.

From the side, pick up two sticks of incense and light them. The deceased is the elder, bowing solemnly, saluting, and inserting the incense in the incense burner.

Go to the next room.

This was originally the bedroom of his daughter Shen Mengyue, but now it has been changed into a monitoring room.

All I could see was that one screen after another filled the entire wall.

On the screen is the monitoring scene of the corridors of this five-story old house...

Other than that.

In front of the main entrance of each household, a pinhole camera was installed. In the picture, there are dark wooden doors and rusted outer iron fences.

ear.

Footsteps sounded.

Li Ji turned his head to look, and the old and lifeless chemistry teacher Shen Jingfu appeared beside him.

"Uncle Shen."

Li Ji called out.

After a slight pause, he asked, "Are you ready?"

There was a gleam of hope in his eyes, Shen Jingfu nodded heavily, and responded with a hoarse voice: "It has been ready for a long time!"

...

Li Ji walked in this old house and stood by the dilapidated window. There were several potted plants growing crookedly, but judging from their growth, they had been carefully repaired.

timely.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window on Li Jiyang's raised cheeks.

The sky is getting dark.

All the arrangements and decorations have been prepared. Li Ji, sitting in front of Shen Mengyue's former desk, picked up a book and read it quietly.

Time passed minute by minute.

From the monitoring, it can be seen that the residents living in this old building, who have quietly passed the system screening and signed the exemption agreement, began to return home one after another.

In the middle of the night, 22:35.

In the entire old building, only Yang Dandan and gambling ghost Deng Yuanshan were left at the Royal Entertainment Club, preparing to go to work, and they did not go home.

put down the book.

"Get ready to start."

Li Ji raised his head and said in a deep voice.

...

Lu Jianxiao sat in front of the screen, typing on the keyboard of the computer.

The voice changer, which recorded the voice data of Yang Dandan and Deng Yuanshan's family members, was then debugged.

Following closely, under Li Ji's gaze;

Calls were made to Yang Dandan's and Deng Yuanshan's mobile phones successively.

A panicked voice rang out:
"Dandan, where are you?"

"Come back soon! There seems to be something wrong with your father's health..."

"Quick!"

"Mom doesn't know what to do!"

Yang Dandan, who was in the Lafite clubhouse, saw her mother's phone call, and suddenly became flustered.

"Wonsan, my heart is not feeling well, I can't breathe..."

Deng Yuanshan, who was gambling, heard his mother's hoarse breathing on the phone.

The phone is hung up.

...

Late at night, 23:45.

Under the monitoring screen, Yang Dandan and Deng Yuanshan hurried back home.

'Bang'... The moment the door was closed heavily, it represented the official start of the fraudulent incident!
Dimly lit bedroom.

Li Ji stood in front of the surveillance screen that occupied the entire wall...

Programmer Lu Jianxiao started the final preparations.

Kindergarten teacher Yan Chudan sent messages to actors and staff scattered in this old building...

...

Li Ji looked at Uncle Shen.

"No matter what the final result is, thank you all."

The gray-haired old man in a gray mandarin jacket pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, cupped his hands to Li Ji, and thanked Li Ji in a hoarse voice.

Stop talking.

The old man turned around and walked out according to the plan.

The moment he left, all the surveillance cameras along the road kept capturing the figure of the old man Shen Jingfu from all directions.

It was a long, dilapidated, dark corridor...

The lights in some corridors kept flickering on and off, outlining that old and sad figure.

The dull footsteps of cloth shoes falling on the ground were recorded by the radio.

only see.

Shen Jingfu walked to the iron gate outside the old house, and slowly poured out a corrosive liquid...'Zi la la...', breaking and fixing the door lock!
...

After finishing all this, Uncle Shen walked back, returned home, and stood in the living room.

He turned on the live broadcast equipment that Li Ji and others had prepared for him.

With two black and white photos of his wife and daughter as the background, Uncle Shen stands in front of the photos and the incense burner...

The light of the camera lights up.

The programmer, operating the program, projected Shen Bo's picture directly on all the electronic equipment in this old building through the local area network set up in advance.

'Zizizi...'

Six-story old building with a total of 35 households.

In every home, TVs, mobile phones, or computers lit up one after another.

Shen Jingfu, wearing a black mandarin jacket and cloth shoes, appeared in front of everyone.

There are two black and white posthumous photos in the back, and in front is a lifeless old man with gray hair, old face, withered skin. The scene of this scene is horrifying and shocking!

Inexplicably, he gasped, and goosebumps crawled up his arms.

...

adjoining bedroom.

Li Ji looked at Shen Jingfu in the video on the screen in front of him, and a grainy and hoarse voice sounded in his ears.

"Old neighbors, neighbors...I am Shen Jingfu."

Shen Bo paused.

His expression was numb, and he said word for word: "From this moment on, all of you have been kidnapped by me."

"I have placed inductive miniature bombs made by myself outside the doors of each of your homes. Without my permission, all the old neighbors who try to break out of the house will trigger the bombs."

"And all of this will result in only one...death!"

Shen Jingfu pursed his lips and said calmly.

...

Dilapidated old residential building.

After hearing Shen Jingfu's words, every household exploded.

In their respective families, they stared wide-eyed and looked at Uncle Shen on the screen in disbelief.

Li Ji folded his hands and continued to look at the screen.

At this time, the sound of commotion from all directions came from the surveillance.

Picking up the walkie-talkie, Li Ji issued the order.

...

[-]th Floor, Room [-]

Lei Qiang, an actor who arranged to rent in advance, was wearing a black undershirt. When he heard the order, he pressed the earphone and replied in a deep voice:
"understand!"

The voice fell.

Lei Qiang walked towards the door, and pushed the door open...

In front of the door, the rough black box, the red light began to flash rapidly!
'Drip drip! '

Thick black smoke filled the air from the box...

The powerful tower shaking machine was turned on!

'boom! '

There was a loud noise that could be heard throughout the residential building, and then a dull shaking appeared!

Black smoke poured into the room.

Actor Lei Qiang poured artificial blood all over his body, then fell to the ground, and his body twitched from time to time...

...

Uncle Shen also felt the explosion, and he glanced out the window.

A smile appeared on the aged cheeks.

"It seems that someone is not obedient enough."

Shen Bo looked in the direction of the video, and a hoarse voice sounded.

At the same time, the surveillance in front of Room [-] was turned on, broadcasting the scene to the screens of all residents' homes...

It's black smoke!
It's a bloody corpse amidst the smog!
Panic... really started spreading throughout the building, in the homes of the remaining 34 residents!
Screams and fear sounded from time to time.

...

Shen Bo seemed to be tired from standing.

He walked out of the view of the camera, but came back soon, moved a blackened mahogany chair and sat down again.

lowered his eyes.

Shen Bo's silver-white hair looks so dazzling...

He seems a little tired.

Take a break.

Uncle Shen raised his head, looked at the screen, and continued to say in a deep voice:
"Old neighbors, this time, I just want to investigate clearly, who has poured dirty water on the little girl Shen Dandan, and even died with regret."

...

"My wife, Yu Zhonghua, died because of this."

"I, now my family is ruined..."

"At this moment, there is only one person, no worries, no worries, in the twilight years."

"If you cooperate with me, I will not hurt you; but if you do not cooperate with me..."

Shen Bo said again.

"Just come with me and go see Mengyue and Yuyu."

In Shen Jingfu's flat tone, he uttered words that made the whole old building frightened and screamed.
