Just looking at the scene in front of him, Xie Xingyin could almost imagine the smell of blood hitting his face.

This amount of bleeding is not enough for ten people, let alone one person.

The entire room was filled with thick fluorescent blue, and the dim green light was like the Lethe River leading to the underworld.

It is not difficult to imagine that the blood in the room at that time was so thick that it could have flooded the ankles.

In addition to the floor, there were splatters of blue blood on all four walls of the room, as if they were caused by biting or severing a major artery. What was even more exaggerated was that even the ceiling was splattered with speckled fluorescent colors.

It was simply the scene of a massacre!

But the data shows that Keiko has always lived alone, has no relatives, and doesn’t even have many friends. Where did there come from so much blood in the room?

Xie Xingyin's face darkened slightly, and the hand holding the lens dropped.

To the naked eye, the floor tiles in the room are still as smooth as new, with nothing out of the ordinary, as normal as the calm sea. But no one knows what kind of undercurrent lurks beneath this appearance.

"Brother, what did you see?" Xiao Lu stood on tiptoe and came over, curious to see.

"Blood, a lot of blood." Xie Xingyin kicked the lens back into his pocket first. "Be good, don't look at it. Bloody violence is restricted and harmful to the physical and mental health of minors."

Xie Xingyin always felt that this room was not simple.

In movies and TV shows, darkrooms are usually hidden behind bookshelves. So Xie Xingyin's eyes fell on the bookshelf beside the wall.

But the bookshelf in front of him was too small, reaching waist height, and there was no way to hide any secret door, so Xie Xingyin didn't rush to search after entering.

He grabbed the left and right corners of the small bookshelf and tried to pull it out, but the seemingly light bookshelf did not move at all. After careful observation, Xie Xingyin noticed that the wooden boards and the wall were completely nailed, and he could not pull them apart even with brute force.

.

Xie Xingyin slowly straightened up and placed his hands on the wooden board, the doubts between his brows still lingering.

If there were no abnormalities seen through the lenses, this room would probably be ignored. But now, Xie Xingyin is very sure that what happened here must be the key.

The atmosphere on the entire 14th floor was a bit weird, and it was getting late. Xie Xingyin subconsciously felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he planned to take Xiao Lu downstairs first.

But when he turned around, Xiao Lu who was originally following him disappeared.

Xie Xingyin was stunned.

There was a slight noise in the toilet, and he quickly walked over and saw Xiao Lu standing on tiptoes in front of the sink washing his hands.

Xie Xingyin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, let's go back first."

Xiao Lu shook off the water on his hand, held his hand obediently, and went downstairs with Xie Xingyin.

It was already evening when I came back from the fourteenth floor.

Xie Xingyin first knocked on the door next door to see the sick Li Wei. But after knocking for half a minute, no one opened the door.

So he tried pushing the doorknob, but found that the door was locked.

At this time, the short-haired girl who lived in the same room as Li Wei suddenly poked her head out of the room of her two companions. She also knew that Xie Xingyin was here to see Li Wei.

"Xiaowei's condition is still not good. Her body temperature is a little lower than yesterday, 38.4c."

Li Wei was probably still sleeping at the moment, so Xie Xingyin didn't disturb her again.

He took out the newspaper he brought back from room 1404 and assigned the task of checking the newspaper information to three high school students to see if they could find any clues.

Back in the room, Xie Xingyin stood in front of the sink and washed his face. Xiao Lu suddenly lowered his head and pushed open the bathroom door and came in.

Xie Xingyin hung the towel back on the rack and made room for him in front of the sink.

"Why are you in a daze again?" Xie Xingyin teased him smoothly.

After getting to know him in the past two days, Xie Xingyin found that this kid was very interesting. He was quite aloof at first, but after getting to know him, he talked a lot.

Xiao Lu didn't look at him, and stared at the ground intently.

Xie Xingyin smiled. Boys of this age are at the time when they are lively and active. After sitting idle in the apartment for so many days, they are probably bored out of their minds.

"What are you looking at?" Xie Xingyin put her hand on his shoulder.

Xiao Lu didn't answer. Xie Xingyin followed his eyes and looked down, not knowing what to see in the bathroom.

For a moment, he had an absurd idea in his mind - when he was on the fourteenth floor, Xiao Lu ran to the toilet alone, was he also looking at something?

On this day, Jia Ming came back the latest. When he came back, everyone gathered in the corridor to eat instant noodles.

"Did you find anything on the first floor?" Xie Xingyin asked him.

Jia Ming shook his head with regret. "Nothing, the iron door of the apartment is still locked."

After all, people still like social animals. We stayed chatting in the corridor until very late, and then everyone went back to their rooms.

When passing by Jia Ming, Xie Xingyin accidentally caught a glimpse of a smear of red paint on the back of his shoulder blade.

Jia Ming certainly couldn't see that the back of his clothes was dirty.

"Hey -" When Xie Xingyin was about to remind him, the door in front of him had been slammed shut.

As soon as the access control was lifted the next day, Xie Xingyin took Xiao Lu, picked up Lao Liang who was still yawning, and stepped into the elevator again.

Although it was early in the morning, it was still dark, and the light-controlled lighting in the corridor was still on. The moon hung in the sky, round, bright, and terrifyingly big.

"What are you doing?" Liang Xin yelled as he dragged her into the elevator as easily as he caught a chicken. His broken glasses slid down the bridge of his nose, making him look funny.

"I'll show you something." Xie Xingyin said, "Old Liang, do you know talismans?"

Lao Liang looked at him inexplicably: "Of course, this is what I rely on for a living. A peace charm costs three yuan a piece, or three yuan a piece, do you want it?"

Xiao Lu sneered at the side, while Lao Liang and him glared at each other. Xie Xingyin ignored them and led them to the door of 1404, asking Lao Liang to look at the talisman on the door.

"Then do you know what this talisman is used for?"

But Lao Liang looked at the talisman and frowned.

"This... Judging from the strokes of this talisman, it should be a kind of house-destroying talisman, but the painting method is slightly different from the general house-destroying talisman... I am not sure about the specific effect. In short, it is used to ward off evil spirits.

."

"Nonsense." Xiao Lu said, crossing his arms.

Lao Liang got angry when he saw him. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to deal with this little brat, but was stopped by Xie Xingyin.

"Go in and take a look first."

After entering the door, Lao Liang's lips trembled and his glasses almost slipped off the bridge of his nose. "Why is there so much blood..."

Xie Xingyin knew that he had also seen the blood stains on the ground and shook his head.

He took out a compass from the cloth bag he carried with him. The pointer of the compass was swaying. Xie Xingyin couldn't understand it. He just watched Lao Liang muttered around the room. In the end, he couldn't do anything.

Without saying anything, he went to the bathroom.

After walking into the bathroom, the compass in his hand suddenly started to rotate violently, like a trapped animal struggling violently. Lao Liang said "huh?" in confusion.

Xie Xingyin looked into the bathroom and remembered that Xiao Lu was like this yesterday and was inexplicably interested in the bathroom.

Xie Xingyin's eyes wandered around the toilet. Although the toilet is a 5A level tourist attraction for ghost movies, the toilet in front of him is really too small. There are no mirrors or bathtubs suitable for hauntings, so the use is really limited.

The only thing that can be said... is the toilet in the corner.

There was a flash of disgust in Xie Xingyin's eyes.

Although Lao Liang didn't find the ghost, he seemed to see something. He walked to the wall and knocked on it.

"There may be something inside the wall." He said firmly.

Xie Xingyin followed his gaze and saw nothing unusual with the naked eye.

Lao Liang was coming and going for a while, and Xiao Lu suddenly pulled Xie Xingyin up and led him out of the bathroom, asking him to take a closer look.

"Can't you see the difference between the inside of the bathroom and the outside?"

Lao Liang said "Huh" in confusion. "The thickness of the walls on these two sides is different."

Xie Xingyin took a closer look and suspected that he was the blind one.

After each of them stood close to the wall, Xie Xingyin took a closer look inside and then outside, and then he saw the difference.

The difference in thickness of the walls on both sides is less than ten centimeters. They are both white background walls. If you don’t observe carefully, they can easily be ignored by the naked eye.

Xie Xingyin lowered his eyes and looked at the tiles in the corner, his expression a little more solemn.

The length and width of a square brick are about five centimeters. Such a small difference is difficult to see with the naked eye. Xie Xingyin didn't feel it at all, and he doesn't know how Xiao Lu discovered it.

But although the deviation of five centimeters is small, the construction of the house is very rigorous, and it is impossible for any house to be built like this.

Xie Xingyin felt a little ashamed of himself, and found that his powers of observation were not as good as those of a blind man like Lao Liang. Lao Liang seemed to know what he was thinking, and said sarcastically:

"You may not think that I am blind in one eye, but my vision in my good eye is much better than that of ordinary people."

The wall in front of them may be a load-bearing wall. Unlike the cement walls they smashed downstairs, it is not convenient to smash casually.

"If there is really something behind, you should be able to find the entrance near here."

They moved everything they could. Xie Xingyin's eyes circled around and finally landed on the toilet. After a moment of psychological struggle, Xie Xingyin still made up his mind and climbed up on the edge of the toilet.
