Chapter 5 The bloody Apartment (5)
When other people heard Shen Yu’s words, they were startled at first, and then they all showed an expression of “Why are you acting like this?”
Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in horror: “Are you crazy?”
Her expression at this time was as if she was about to jump up: “Why do you want to exchange with this kind of person? This person is a bastard, he’s so bad that he is not worth saving! Don’t take your own life…”
At this time, the short-haired girl put her hand on Xu Jiaojiao’s shoulder, stopping her from talking.
The man with glasses, fearing that Shen Yu would repent, hurriedly grabbed the pink key, then smiled and said: “Brother, whoever says that living in the East Building will definitely lead to death, you don’t have to be afraid at all. It’ll be okay!”
He had been preaching that it would be dangerous in the East Building before, but now he started talking nonsense as soon as he got the pink key.
He stretched out his hand to Anonymous beside Shen Yu, as if he wanted to pull the little boy to his side: “Don’t worry, you can leave the child to me, I will take care of him and protect him…”
Anonymous’s eyes flashed, and a little disgusted, he avoided the glasses man’s hand.
“I will go to the East Building with him.” The little guy said blankly.
The man with glasses was stunned: “But you are two people and you aren’t even a couple. How can you go to the East Building according to the rules…”
“Which rule stipulates that only those in an intimate relationship are eligible to go to the East Building overnight?” Shen Yu Interrupted coldly, “Everyone before has been misled by your initial conclusions.”
“The administrator of this apartment let us allocate the rooms by ourselves. Although there is only one red key, he never said that only those who are excluded can get the red key.”
“There is no indication that living in the East Building will constitute a mortal condition.”
He stared at the red key in his hand and said calmly: “After all, last night, of the two people who died, one was in the East Building and the other in the West Building, when they encountered fatal danger because they opened either a door or a window at night.” After these words, the spectacle man’s previous theory had been completely overturned, and he was startled at this time. Standing in place, his face turned red and green.
He was so embarrassed that he wanted to attack, but he didn’t dare to give up.
And the short-haired girl, who has been listening carefully, clapped her hands and laughed: “Good discovery! Much smarter than some self-righteous idiots!” The glasses man’s face became even more gloomy.
The short-haired girl glanced at him disdainfully, but only asked Shen Yu: “You are asking for it tonight; do you think that the next clue is in the East Building?”
Shen Yu gave her a slightly surprised look, then responded in a deep voice: “I’m not sure for the time being. I’ll dig a little bit before making a conclusion.” If they want to get information in the West Building, they have to knock and inquire from the apartment tenants. At the end of the day, not only was it dangerous, but also not much information had been obtained.
But the administrator had said that the red key can open all the doors in the East Building.
In this way, the efficiency of collecting information can be faster.
Therefore, Shen Yu and Anonymous both decided to search the East Building temporarily tonight, and the short-haired girl quickly guessed their intentions.
They have to say that the insight of this young girl is obviously much sharper than the other two veterans.
After seeing Shen Yu’s determination, the shorthaired sister did not speak more, but with vague eyes looked at the two men, pausing on Anonymous for a few seconds, then looked back into his eyes and calmly said:” Well, I wish you a peaceful night.”
After that, she took the bewildered looking Xu Jiaojiao with her and left.
The rest of the people also left one after another. Before leaving, the always-bad-tempered man with the flower tattoo lazily exclaimed: “After a day of tossing, my bones are numb, and now I can go to sleep.”
The yellow haired sidekick was beside him, smiling carefully: “Brother, didn’t I do all your work today?”
“Yes, yes, after I get out, you will definitely benefit from me, you kid.” The man with the arm tattoo walked away perfunctorily.
Only the man with glasses was left standing alone, holding the pink key in his hand.
He gazed coldly in the direction where Shen Yu and Anonymous were leaving, his eyes full of suppressed anger, his teeth clenched, and after enduring it, he gave a cold snort and clenched the key to leave.
Whether the East Building is dangerous or not, let the two idiots explore the way first; as it was, he wouldn’t lose anything in this situation.
Of course, if those two guys died directly in the East Building, it would be even better.
The man in glasses comforted himself in his heart.
…
There are many rooms in the East Building, but there was not much time left for Shen Yu.
“There are still twenty minutes left before the lights are turned off. How many rooms do we have yet to open?”
Shen Yu opened a room again, entered it and searched it quickly, but still did not find anything of value.
The East Building was not only dilapidated and dark, but there were no people living in those locked rooms.
The residents of the apartment complex seem to have had all moved to the beautifully decorated West Building and abandoned the dilapidated East Building.
Anonymous came out from another room at this time, holding a yellowed newspaper in his hand, and said, “We have searched four floors, and there are two floors of buildings that have not been searched.” The floors of the east and the west are the same, and both wings have six floors.
“Yeah.” Shen Yu responded, and suddenly there was a flash of light in his mind, “Wait!”
He turned his head solemnly and asked: “Do you remember the rules that the corridor manager told the night before?”
Anonymous: ” Do not open doors and windows at night, do not go out after turning off the lights, treat apartment occupants politely, do not take damaged elevators, do not be lazy in cleaning?”
Shen Yu: “Just after the cleaning part, what else did the administrator say?
” Don’t be lazy, you must clean up all seven floors of the apartment complex…” At this point, Anonymous suddenly stopped, frowning.
“The buildings have seven floors…” he muttered to himself.
But no matter if it was the East Building or the West Building, there are only six floors!
Where did the seventh floor disappear to?
Shen Yu was also thinking about this issue. While he was thinking about it, he tried to open the next door with inertia while holding the red key.
“Bang Da!” The key turned in the keyhole, but was then blocked by something in the keyhole.
“Huh?” Shen Yu cried out in surprise and continued to turn the key, but the door in front of him, unlike the other doors, couldn’t be opened with the red key.
He pulled out the key and looked up at the house number in front of him.
Room 444.
It’s really an ominous number.
The red key can open all the rooms in the East Building, but the number 444 in front of them is the only door they can’t open at the moment.
Anonymous also walked over, stared at the house number 444 for a long time, and suddenly turned over the old newspaper he had just found.
He found an inconspicuous missing person’s notice in a gap in the newspaper.
“Looking for a wife who ran away from home”
[Lover Zhang Lili, after quarreling with me on October 3rd, she ran away in anger and has not returned. ]
[Zhang Lili is 24 years old, about 1.6 meters tall, thin body, medium-length hair, ordinary appearance, slightly accented when speaking, and was wearing a white coat when she left home. ]
[Hope kind people find her and contact me in time. ]
[Contact: xxxxxxxxxx. ]
[Contact address: xx construction site, or Pink Apartment No.444. ]
[Contact: Wu Jianyi. ]
He stared at this missing person’s notice, then looked up at the house number 444.
“The clue has appeared,” he said, then handed the newspaper to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu took it and glanced over it quickly.
Wu Jianyi, who was on the missing person’s notice, lives in this apartment at No. 444. The contact address also says xx construction site; obviously his occupation is related to the construction site.
The “Master Wu” who painted and renovated the pink apartment complex for free is the foreman of the construction site and the old tenant of the complex.
The identity is right.
“Let me remind you, now it’s less than a minute before they turn off the lights.” At this moment, Anonymous said from the side.
When thinking, time seems particularly short.
Shen Yu was thinking about the clues he had just received, and when he heard these words, he suddenly woke up, hurriedly opened the door to a random room with the red key, and hid inside with Anonymous.
Just when the two of them locked up the door of the room, the light in the room was suddenly extinguished, and the surrounding was plunged into full darkness.
“Crack…”
Outside the window, there was the sound of scratching on the glass.
Today, the sounds outside the window came a little earlier, and the movements were noisier.
The monster outside the window seemed a little flustered and anxious.
Anonymous lowered his voice, leaned closely to Shen Yu’s ear and said: “The clues we just collected are correct.The closer to the truth of the matter we come, the more anxious the ghosts’ reactions tend to be. “
Shen Yu glanced at the slightly vibrating window, then pursed his lips: “The reaction is too strong, I’m really afraid that it will scratch the glass permanently.”
The monster outside the window continued to harass for a while, yet finding out that it didn’t work, he then quieted down, only making a slight rustling in the silent night.
After a while, suddenly a female voice begging came from outside the window: “Please, save me!”
“The bald man and the man with glasses, the two of them secretly joined forces and suddenly attacked us in the middle of the night. My companion is dead. Now they were going to kill me, but I escaped by luck.” It turned out to be the voice of the short-haired girl!
The pleading outside the window continued: “They will be chasing over soon. I only know you two kind people in the whole apartment complex. Please let me inside, you must hide and save me! I don’t want to die!” In the darkness, Shen Yu and Anonymous looked at each other in surprise.
“That thing…does it really not know how clumsy its acting skills are?” Shen Yu vomited blankly.
“If that girl knows that she was acted like this by a monster during the day, according to her violent temper, I am afraid that the monster will be torn apart on the spot!” Anonymous continued without emotion.
“Please, let me in! Let me in, let me in… let me in…”
The noise outside the window remained the same. In the end, the monster became visible, looking like a torn skin, and even the voice changed to hoarse and low. It screamed and smashed on the window glass “boom boom boom”.
But no matter how hard it tossed, it still stayed firmly outside the window, never daring to step into the apartment.
“That blood monkey-like monster can run around in the apartment, sneak attack and kill people at will. But why does the monster outside the window dare not enter the apartment and only dares to beg us to open the window?”
Shen Yu thought to himself.
“Is it really that scared of the weird guy who knocked on the door in the middle of the night?”
Before Shen Yu could think about it, a dull dragging sound finally rang out in the silent corridor outside.
Shen Yu’s spirit felt refreshed.
It was coming!
The weird man dragging the coffin came to their door as usual, and began to knock on the door persistently.
Once the knocking on the door started, the sounds outside the window stopped abruptly.
Shen Yu still leaned close to the door as before, observing the scene outside the door through a crack under the door.
The soles of the feet that had appeared outside this time were still blue from the cold, but there were no open wounds. Instead, they were fat and bloated. The toenails had even been painted with some cheap, red nail polish.
Shen Yu, who was spying, widened his eyes slightly in shock.
No, this was not right!
What had appeared now was a pair of woman’s feet. But last night, the one who’d appeared in front of the door had obviously had the soles of a man’s feet.
On the second night, a different weirdo had come?
But no matter which weird person they were, there was a small coffin behind them.
Anonymous, who had also been observing from the side, seemed to be thinking for a while, then suddenly pulled out a blade.
The bright and sharp scalpel is just suitable to be held by a child, and the shiny blade was like a narrow mirror.
He put the scalpel under the door, and took a look at the view outside the door in the reflection of the blade.
There, standing sluggishly and resembling a puppet, was a fat, middle-aged woman with her eyes closed slightly and a twine around her shoulders, dragging the coffin behind her.
This was the same woman Shen Yu and himself had met not long ago.
It was the apartment tenant who’d let them in during the day to clean.
But why is she here?
Anonymous turned the blade carefully, and from another angle, he peered at the coffin behind the woman.
The coffin was very small, and it would be impossible to squeeze inside it the form of a grown adult. The pattern on it was very gorgeous. There was no coffin lid, and a small baby was sitting inside.
The baby’s head was poking from the coffin. Its face was flushed with wrinkled features and looking uglier than a newborn baby; his body, which was smaller than that of an ordinary baby, was covered in blood stains and amniotic fluids, and the umbilical cord was missing from its belly.
The baby was looking around, as if searching for something, then gently tapped on the coffin.
That was when the sluggish apartment occupant stopped knocking on the door and, like a walking dead, barefoot, dragging the heavy coffin and moving with difficulty, gradually disappeared.
After that person and the baby had left, Shen Yu and Anonymous let out a sigh of relief.
“Our previous assumptions were a bit incorrect.” Anonymous said suddenly.
“The weird person who knocks on the door every night outside is just a worker, to drag the coffin. Even if it is exchanged every night, it doesn’t matter.” He frowned and said.
“But the baby sitting in the coffin is the dominant player, and the reason why the monster outside the window is afraid.”
