Zhang Lihua took out a strong flashlight and looked around. There was a layer of dust on it, and it looked like no one had touched it for a long time.

Zhang Lihua suddenly thought that on the first day he came, the system asked him to collect props. He was already used to searching for treasures in the junk pile. He took out the gloves he had just bought during the day from his pocket, put them on and started rummaging through them.

Soon he found an old vase that might be in good condition after washing.

There were a lot of old clothes here, and they all looked like they were for adults. They were of little use to Zhang Lihua. He turned over and over, and suddenly saw something furry like a kitten. He tentatively stretched out his hand and touched it.

A stuffed bear toy?

It looked pretty good. Zhang Lihua stretched out her hand to grab it, and one leg fell off. It must have been too long, rotted, and had no value anymore. He continued to search, and a piggy-shaped piggy bank came into his sight. This thing,

There used to be one in his family, but I don’t know where it came from. My brother always liked to put some change in it and keep it for Zhang Lihua to buy candies.

Zhang Lihua stretched out her hand to grab it out of habit. It was quite heavy. Is there any money in it?

Zhang Lihua opened the cover under the piggy. The things inside looked like they were for children to play with, including colorful stones and some coins. Now is the era of mobile payment, and these coins are also old, rolled together one by one.

The note fell out. Zhang Lihua opened it and saw an address written on it, No. 37, XX Street.

The handwriting on it looked like it was written by a child. Part of the pen writing was soaked in water, and only the number 37 could be recognized. Zhang Lihua carefully put the note into her pocket.

"Number 002, please note, Master Zhang Lihua, this is a G-level hidden mission to explore the old story hidden in No. 37. Do you accept the mission?"

"Okay." Zhang Lihua agreed as soon as she heard it was an exploration mission.

Just when Zhang Lihua was about to continue rummaging, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the stairs, and the voice-activated light came on.

"Someone!"

Zhang Lihua's first reaction was to turn off the flashlight and find a corner to hide. The water room should be a renovated public restroom, and it should be divided into left and right sides. In desperation, Zhang Lihua entered the nearby one.

The squatting pit inside was already filled with debris, including mops, brooms, and some plastic bottles.

Zhang Lihua didn't dare to express her anger, and she still held the piggy bank in her hand. He quietly looked at the situation outside through the crack in the door. There seemed to be two people in the corridor, and they were talking in a low voice.

"It's all that damn cat's fault, what do you think we should do?"

"In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, it's better to get out. I don't know who the new guy is. He is sneaking around all day long. He seemed to have come out just now and almost spotted me."

"Well, this is a hotel after all, and the coming and going of people is inevitable. If you ask me, let's do it tonight."

"That's fine, let's work together and we can handle it quickly."

It was a man and a woman who spoke. Zhang Lihua could tell that this man was the crutch boss, but he had never heard the woman's voice. They just talked about damn cats. Could it be that they were so happy...

Also, what were they doing on the fourth floor without rest at night? Zhang Lihua adjusted her angle to see their movements clearly. The two people should have entered the room diagonally opposite. Just now, Zhang Lihua was just following the sun.

While checking, I found that no one had entered the house during the other inspection.

After a while, the cane boss and the woman came out. In addition to flashlights, they seemed to have dark curtains in their hands, while the woman held a hammer and white gloves.

Watching the two of them go downstairs, Zhang Lihua breathed a sigh of relief. She walked out slowly. He was no longer in the mood to rummage through the garbage here, and his mind was filled with the conversation just now.

Hearing the voices of the two people gradually walking away, Zhang Lihua decided to go down and find out. Just when he passed by the door of 406, the door suddenly opened.

A man with long hair appeared at the door.

The man looked to be in his early thirties. His hair was greasy and tattered. His beard had not been shaved for several days and he had a tattoo on his arm.

Zhang Lihua forced a smile: "Haha, hello, I want to ask, have you seen a ragdoll cat in the past two days?"

"You mean the one with black feet?"

Zhang Lihua nodded. He had seen photos of Grandma Li's cat. It had black feet and white fur on its body. From a distance, it looked like it was wearing boots.

The long-haired man touched his nose: "You don't have to look for it anymore, that cat is gone..."

"It's gone?" Although she had already suspected it in her heart, Zhang Lihua still found it difficult to accept the bad news.

He took out a cigarette case from his pocket and lit one casually: "Some people thought that the cat was a nuisance, and they settled it privately. I advise you not to cause more trouble. Okay, it's getting late, so go back and rest.

"

After Zhang Lihua thanked her, she turned and left. He was a little confused. It had been a day. If the cat had been in the building, there would have been some noise. It might really be gone now.

But Chen Xi seemed to attach great importance to this cat, and he couldn't be so perfunctory about this matter.

After thinking again and again, Zhang Lihua decided to look for it again. Even if it was really gone, the body had to be there, right?

Unknowingly, Zhang Lihua had already reached the third floor. Just when he was about to return to the house, the lights in the entire building suddenly went out. Zhang Lihua has been working in the theme museum all year round, and her ability to adapt to the dark is much better than the average person.

, he did not panic, but first took out a strong flashlight and illuminated the road ahead. At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint sound of the door closing.

"who?"

When I shined my flashlight, there was no one there.

Zhang Lihua wanted to find out more, so she turned off the flashlight and let her eyes adjust to the darkness.

Downstairs, there were inaudible footsteps. It sounded very powerful and rhythmic. It was probably not the boss on crutches.

Through the gap in the stairs, Zhang Lihua only saw a figure flashing past. The person looked a little anxious and quickly reached the first floor. Zhang Lihua was a little puzzled that the people here behaved so strangely.

Zhang Lihua went downstairs. On the first floor, he stood in the corridor and listened. The sound insulation of this old-fashioned building was not very good. Zhang Lihua could tell at once that the other party was watching an advertisement, but something like an advertisement was so big.

Attractive?

Is it possible that there is no one inside? At least the people inside are not focused on the TV.

Zhang Lihua was a little confused. The door was locked. If they didn't sleep or watch TV in the house, where could they go?

Standing at the stairs on the first floor, Zhang Lihua's mind was a little confused now. He walked to the wall and wanted to lean a little. What happened in the past few days made him physically and mentally exhausted, so he just pretended that he had just leaned against the wall.

When he was walking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with this wall!

A creepy feeling came over my heart...
