“He usually doesn’t talk to anyone. We asked him several times, but he didn’t answer.” The woman continued, “It’s like the door is sealed. He won’t open it no matter how hard we knock.”
“But if you go, he’ll definitely open it.” The other woman glanced at Bai Qiuye’s shoulder with lingering fear.
The four ghost babies that had appeared on Bai Qiuye’s shoulder had disappeared, but the murderous aura still lingered in the corridor.
Hearing this, Bai Qiuye was even more afraid. She felt that the woman was implying something.
‘Does she think that I’m a pushover and that the man on the third floor can be bullied as she pleases?!’
Bai Qiuye shuddered. She just wanted to run upstairs and hug Li Gushu’s leg without letting go.
“Is there anything else?” The woman in front of her saw that Bai Qiuye’s expression was not right. She smiled and asked with caution in her eyes.
Bai Qiuye said sorrowfully, “Nothing. I’m leaving.”
The two women hurriedly said, “Have a safe trip.”
Bai Qiuye felt a trace of warmth from the neighbours from their attitude.
But the warmer it was, the colder her heart became.
The two women slammed the door shut. Bai Qiuye was the only one left in the corridor.
She suddenly realised that the talismans that were pasted on the door she had knocked on had all been burned to ashes.
Bai Qiuye was shocked.
A ghost was following her!
And it was a ghost with murderous intent!
‘Could it be related to the man on the third floor?’
‘Was it the corpse he refined?’
‘He knew that we were talking about him, so he wanted to silence us.’
‘What kind of malicious ghost could silently burn the talismans to ashes?!’
Bai Qiuye was terrified. She didn’t care about anything else and directly took out her trump card, the golden boy statue.
Going all out was the greatest respect for the enemy.
Although the enemy was in a place where she couldn’t see, she had to prepare herself beforehand.
When she took out the golden boy statue, those who were observing her through the peephole all shivered.
At the same time, the talismans on the doors that Bai Qiuye had not touched were all burned to ashes and fell to the ground.
When Bai Qiuye smelled the burning talismans and looked up, she was shocked.
‘The enemy is so strong that even the golden boy is no match for him?!’
This invisible enemy had far exceeded her imagination.
Bai Qiuye hurriedly walked to the empty space, placed the notice on the ground, and began to take off her jacket.
In addition to the golden boy, she also carried with her many items from the first instance dungeon.
These props were not as powerful as golden boy, But in the current situation, since the golden boy was unable to resist the enemy, the more props the better. She took out everything she could.
At the very least, she couldn’t lose in terms of momentum.
Bai Qiuye shook her jacket, and the props she had sewn into the lining of her jacket fell out of her pocket.
Bai Qiuye put them on one by one, and only then did she find a bit of courage.
The tenants who were observing Bai Qiuye through the peephole were all dumbfounded when they saw what she took out.
They saw Bai Qiuye lower her head to pick up the last item and attach it to her waist. It was a small white man with a round head.
They saw the ghost baby that had climbed onto Bai Qiuye’s back rush into the statue. Three of its faces were filled with fear, and the last one was filled with confusion.
What the hell was that?
Even the four-headed ghost baby were scared to this extent!!
Everyone’s hearts trembled, and they could barely move.
At the same time, they discovered that the moment Bai Qiuye picked up the small person, the incense in front of the statue they worshipped snapped, and the ashes fell on the altar table, revealing three letters — —
Sos!
With a swoosh, the remaining doors on the second floor opened at the same time.
The neighbours walked out of their rooms with stiff smiles on their faces, as if they were welcoming Bai Qiuye.
“I heard there was a notice. Give it to me, give it to me.”
“Sorry to trouble you. Next time, don’t come by yourself. Let us know and we’ll come get it ourselves.”
“Don’t talk about eleven o’clock. I will never go out at eleven o’clock in my life.”
Bai Qiuye: “?”
Why did she suddenly feel a little overwhelmed by this favour?
The notice in Bai Qiuye’s hand instantly decreased by a third.
The neighbours took the notice and didn’t forget to say considerately, “You must be tired. Go back and rest, don’t tire yourself out.”
Bai Qiuye: “I haven’t finished sending the notice upstairs …”
The neighbours’ smiles became even brighter. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? Hurry up, hurry up, we won’t delay your work!”
Bai Qiuye walked in a daze as she was happily sent to the stairs.
She turned around and saw that all the residents on the second floor had opened their doors and were watching her go upstairs.
Bai Qiuye: “… Why does it feel weird?”
Just as she turned the corner, she saw the scarlet “three” written on the wall in front of her.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of the doors closing.
Bang!
Bai Qiuye looked at the time on her walkie-talkie.
It took her less than an hour to finish distributing the flyers on the first and second floors.
Her work was going so smoothly that she found it a little unbelievable.
She took a deep breath and carefully walked to the third floor, peeking around the corner.
The structure of the third floor was similar to that of the second floor, but there was a dark green plastic construction cloth hanging outside the window sills.
Because of the cloth, the entire wall of the corridor was covered in a layer of dim green light.
Bai Qiuye pulled on the light switch in the corridor, and the light bulb immediately went off after making a buzzing sound.
She could only turn on the flashlight that Ah Long gave her, and the pale light fell like a spotlight into the darkness of the corridor.
Bai Qiuye’s throat rolled, and she walked to the door of Room 1.
Her eyes were filled with red.
There was a lot of blood splashed on the door of this room.
When she walked in, the stench assailed her nostrils, and in addition to the smell of blood, there was also an indescribable smell.
Bai Qiuye looked carefully, and there were several black plastic bags on the ground in front of the door.
Bai Qiuye: “Ugh!”
She quickly took a few steps back, thinking about how to call out the person in Room 1.
“Is there anyone in Room 1?” Bai Qiuye asked from afar.
The door behind her suddenly opened, and a man walked out of Room 2.
He wore gold-rimmed glasses, and looked very gentle.
“Da Zhong from Room 1 left half a month ago.” The gold-rimmed glasses said, “I heard that he owed gambling debts and couldn’t pay them back. The debt collector ran to his house and beat him up, and then he went into hiding, not daring to come back. ”
Bai Qiuye sighed in relief, she thought she would have to bypass the “obstacle” and stuff the notice under the door of Room 1.
Bai Qiuye said, “Thank you, I am the new night watchman and I don’t know much about this place.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, I just heard some noise, so I came out to take a look.” The gold-rimmed glasses said.
Bai Qiuye handed the notice to him, “Ah Long invited a master to perform a ritual at eleven o ‘clock tonight, remember not to go out.”
The gold-rimmed glasses took the notice, “Okay, I got it.”
Bai Qiuye saw that he was easy to talk to, so she lowered her voice and asked, “Brother, do you know the person in Room 3 next to you?”
The gold-rimmed glasses man’s expression changed. “Just stuff the notice through the crack in the door. It’s best not to come into contact with that person.”
Bai Qiuye paused. “You live next door to him. Do you usually hear any strange noises?”
The gold-rimmed glasses said, “I heard that this person is very strange. But what I heard is just a rumour. After all, I usually go to work early and come back late, so I don’t have many chances to meet him. ”
Seeing Bai Qiuye nod, the gold-rimmed glasses greeted her and closed the door.
Bai Qiuye looked at the door of Room 3, unable to make up her mind.
‘Since he doesn’t go out much, I’ll put the notice in. He’ll be able to see it,’ Bai Qiuye thought.
She made a decision and bent down to put the notice under the door. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the door lock clicking.
Bai Qiuye raised her head abruptly and found that the door in front of her had opened.
The lights were off, and there was a strong earthy smell coming from inside.
A man was standing behind the door. The flashlight shone through the crack in the door casting a silver-white line on his face, which seemed to split him in half.
This man had a head full of ugly yellow hair. He was very thin, his face was like vegetables, and his eyes were as black as wax, with a pair of lifeless eyes buried deep in his eye sockets.
Bai Qiuye’s heart skipped a beat. The two women on the second floor hadn’t lied to her.
There was indeed something wrong with this man!
The man said, “What’s the matter?”
Bai Qiuye gave him the notice. “I just came here to take a look. Haha, I’m leaving.”
She was about to slip away when the man suddenly grabbed her arm.
Bai Qiuye turned around and found that his face was almost touching her body. His lips opened, revealing teeth that were blackened by smoke.
Bai Qiuye was so scared that she raised her arm. The man was like a withered leaf, knocking into the wall of the entryway.
A Guanyin statue that had been placed on top of it fell to the ground with a bang and broke into pieces.
The man was stunned for a moment. Then he squatted down and gathered the pieces of the statue together. His hand was cut by the porcelain, but he didn’t seem to feel the pain, letting the blood splatter all over the floor.
Bai Qiuye stammered, “I, I’m sorry.”
The man raised his head. His eyes were filled with hysterical fear. “It’s broken, she’s coming. She’s going to kill me. I can’t hide, I can’t hide.”
Bai Qiuye frowned. “What? Who’s going to kill you?”
The man said, “There is a ghost, there is a ghost … She’s been haunting me since I saw the corpse …”
His words made Bai Qiuye shudder.
Bai Qiuye asked, “Where did you see the corpse?”
The man’s eyes were unfocused for a moment. Then he suddenly stood up from the ground and ran into the house like a madman.
The lights in his house weren’t turned on. Bai Qiuye shone the flashlight on the floor and found that the entire floor was covered in mud.
It didn’t look like mud that was brought in after leaving the house. It looked more like someone had dragged a bag of yellow soil into the house.
Bai Qiuye remembered what the two women on the second floor said.
Putting corpses into the soil to refine them.
However, the man’s reaction of being so afraid of the corpse didn’t seem like he would do such a thing.
Bai Qiuye moved the flashlight to the broken pieces of the Guanyin statue. She suddenly found a strip-like object lying in the broken pieces.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a white finger. The fingernails were beautifully manicured.
The broken side of the finger was very intact. There was not a single piece of flesh hanging on it.
