Chapter 16 The weirdness in the rental building, the golden cicada escapes from its shell
New Year’s Eve, night, Ningbo Old Town.
After driving for more than an hour, he finally arrived at the downstairs of the rental house. After Chu Yi parked the car, he dragged his tired body and slowly walked upstairs with two wooden boxes.
Because the rental building is too old, many facilities are incomplete, and the most terrible thing is that the voice-activated lights in the corridors and stairs are always on and off. When the tenants are walking in the dark, they can easily fall on one accidentally.
Unfortunately, the tenants have reported this to the landlord many times but have not been able to get a solution.
The arrogant landlord even said directly that if you like renting, get out if you don't want to rent, and don't bother him with such nonsense.
When faced with the landlord's behavior, the majority of tenants surprisingly unanimously chose to tolerate it.
The reason is also very simple. As the economy of Ningbo City develops more and more rapidly, the rent of houses has also increased. Compared with the outside world, the rent of old and small houses is simply the conscience of the industry. In addition to the cheap rent, its geographical location is also in the new and old areas.
At the junction of urban areas, life is quite convenient, so it is also a Feng Shui treasure land that many migrant workers have dreamed of for a long time.
However, after living in this building for a long time, I have heard some rumors. The owner of a nearby convenience store said that a murder had occurred in a room in this rental building. Since then, every time in the dead of night,
, a woman’s cry would be heard in the corridor. This incident caused quite a stir at the time and scared many tenants to move out overnight.
Later, in order to rent out the house, the landlord could only use the cheapest price to attract tenants...
However, most tenants just listen to this incident as a story, and no one has moved out because of this. After all, it is difficult to find such a cheap rental house in Ningbo today even with a lantern.
!
What's more, Chu Yi has lived here for five years and has never noticed any supernatural things. On the contrary, because the sound insulation of the house is so poor, he can hear the muffled sounds coming from the neighbors upstairs and downstairs from time to time. It is really insulting to gentlemen.
!
The rental building was unusually deserted tonight. Only his footsteps echoed in the corridor from time to time, and there was an eerie smell in the silence...
After Chu Yi returned to the rental house, he immediately locked the door and stuffed the two boxes under the bed, as if only placing them in this position could make him feel at ease.
After doing all this, he could no longer restrain his tiredness, and then fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
However, what he didn't know was that in a dusty room in this old-fashioned rental building, a woman's cry seemed to be faintly echoing in the house, and the sound was shrill and heart-wrenching.
The next moment, a slender figure suddenly appeared out of thin air. Its whole body was as blurry as gas, and it looked like a ghost, as if it were empty or illusory.
Then, the figure wandered aimlessly in the room like a wandering spirit. After a while, he came out through the wall and ran rampant in the empty corridor, as if he was looking for some prey!
For a moment, in the originally deserted rental building, a woman's cry suddenly rang out, but the sound was as weak as mosquitoes and flies, vague and difficult to detect.
Finally, when the figure wandered to a certain door, he suddenly stopped for a few seconds, and then walked in through the door.
Inside the house, a haggard-looking young man was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. From his feeble snoring, it could be seen how weak his body was now.
At this moment, the figure also stopped crying, and after taking a good look at the young man, he suddenly let out a few sinister chuckles, seeming to be very satisfied with this prey.
The next second, the figure slowly stepped forward, and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped.
The young man on the bed was not aware of this, but subconsciously wrapped himself in the quilt.
Just when the figure was only a few steps away from the bed, at this critical moment, a buzzing sound suddenly came from under the bed. The sound was clear and pleasant, like a wind chime, but it was also like a bell, shocking the soul! After the sudden disaster, the figure was directly shaken into a ball of gray mist, and then quickly got out along the crack in the door, escaping in panic.
For a moment, the only sound left in the room was someone's roar.
After the figure escaped outside the door, it started wandering nearby. It seemed that he had not given up, but was frightened by the power of the ringing and did not dare to approach.
The two remained in a stalemate until dawn, when the figure reluctantly left.
......
When Chu Yi woke up again, he looked at the time and saw that it was already noon, the first day of the new year.
When I woke up, I felt much better mentally, but my body still couldn't work hard.
Chu Yi went into the bathroom to wash up. He looked at himself in the mirror with white lips and purple lips. He looked like he was about to die soon, and he gave a helpless smile.
After washing up, Chu Yi took the two boxes and walked out of the room, preparing to go to "Heixin Chang" to settle his wages. But the moment he opened the door, a gust of cold wind suddenly poured into the room, and there was a gloomy and turbid air.
The smell made him particularly disgusted.
However, Chu Yi didn't pay too much attention to it. After locking the door, he slowly went downstairs. However, his body was much weaker than he thought now. As soon as he walked downstairs, he was a little out of breath, and a layer of blood oozed from his forehead.
Thin cold sweat.
Now his steps are heavy, his movements are slow, and his figure is sluggish. If you just look at his back, you might think he is an old man in his seventies or eighties.
Chu Yi came downstairs and wanted to drive the Qiling Red Star to find the 'Black Heart Chang', but when he saw a strange car parked not far from the old shabby car, his expression changed.
Then he turned around and turned back.
The reason is very simple. This old community does not have specific parking spaces planned, so parking is very difficult. Residents almost always park close to the roadside. A tacit understanding has been formed for a long time.
There is an owner! No one can take someone else's position, otherwise, your car will be ruined. The exhaust pipe plug steel wire balls are all light...
Therefore, Chu Yi was very familiar with the cars of the surrounding residents. Now that a foreign vehicle suddenly appeared and occupied a space that did not belong to him, he could not help but become suspicious.
After Chu Yi returned to the room, he quietly lay in front of the window and observed the foreign vehicle. After a while, he saw that it had no intention of leaving, and he became more convinced of his previous thoughts.
But it was not a problem to remain in a stalemate like this, so after thinking for a while, Chu Yi decided to use the golden cicada to escape.
So, he picked up his mobile phone and used his last few dozen dollars to order a takeaway.
......
At this moment, a man in a black car was staring attentively at the old van not far away, turning his head from time to time to observe the movements around him. There were many buildings in this old community, and he did not dare to go there rashly.
I'm looking for it, so I can only wait here.
Moreover, the order above only asked him to keep an eye on it. As long as he was keeping an eye on one important task, he should not do other unnecessary things to avoid unnecessary complications.
What's more, he had guessed a little bit of the inside story through the words that were inadvertently revealed above. The target of this mission was very powerful, and there were two big brother-level figures in the meeting who fell into his hands, so he had no choice but to be careless.
.
At this time, a delivery boy in blue suddenly came into the man's sight. Looking at the delivery boy's hurried figure, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. Although he was acting as someone else's lackey, Ma Zai
, doing some illegal things, but they are much better than the working people at the bottom of society.
After a while, the takeaway boy slowly came downstairs and rode away on his electric bike under the man's gaze.
About a minute later, I saw a young man carrying a suitcase slowly walking out of the corridor.
Upon seeing this, the man quickly picked up the photo to compare his appearance. After seeing that he did not match the person in the photo, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to continue staring at the old van.
......
At this moment, at the corner of the road at the entrance of the community, a pale young man slowly took off his blue uniform.
After a while, a young man dragging a suitcase walked towards him quickly.
Chu Yi handed him the blue uniform and said, "Thank you very much. I will give you an additional tip later."
The young man smiled and replied: "Remember to give me a five-star review... Also, aren't you really doing something illegal? I've only seen this kind of plot in movies.
."
Hearing this, Chu Yi smiled miserably and said: "Okay, to tell you the truth, the people in that car were actually my family members... I have a terminal illness, and the doctor said I only have less than a month left for surgery.
The risk is very high, and the operation fee alone is hundreds of thousands. I don’t want to drag them down. While I still have time, I want to go somewhere else to relax..."
The young takeaway boy looked at Chu Yi's pale face and froze on the spot. He waited until Chu Yi walked away before coming back to his senses, and then slapped himself in annoyance.
