And just when Li Leping hurried to Mingyue Community.
An uninvited guest has arrived in the abandoned city.
Due to a round of demolition, most of the buildings here have collapsed, leaving only building materials piled on the ground. Without the obstruction of high-rise buildings, the view here is much wider.
And in front of the gate of Mingyue Community.
Chen Zhong looked dull and his eyes were empty, as if he was controlled by something, and he slowly walked into the gate of Mingyue Community.
If you take a closer look, you will find that there is a thin mark on his neck. This mark is not conspicuous and can only be discovered if you look very carefully.
Li Leping once warned Chen Zhong how dangerous this place was.
But when Chen Zhong's memory was stolen by a ghost, this dangerous place became part of the ghost's plan.
The buildings in the community are intact, and because they were at the center of the Menggui District incident, they have not been demolished.
However, due to its age, Mingyue Community, which existed in the 1950s and 1960s, now naturally looks extremely dirty and outdated.
At night, the community, which had long been cut off from water and electricity, was dim. The long stretch of unmaintained road was covered with dead leaves. When the cold wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground, it would also blow up some garbage.
Chen Zhong, or the unknown ghost, seemed to have a very clear goal. It ignored the dirty road in front of it and walked stiffly towards a certain house.
Soon, it passed the first row of old houses.
The community is not too big. There are three residential buildings in a row. Looking along the main road, you can even directly see the back door of the community.
Not long after, it came to the old house in the third row of the community.
Although Chen Zhong's memory is not enough for him to know the location of 301, at such a close distance, his ghost instinct is enough for him to sense where the danger is coming from.
This is a kind of terror that living people cannot notice and only ghosts can feel.
Immediately.
Chen Zhong arrived at the door of Building No. 9 in Mingyue Community.
After crossing the threshold, it entered the building.
The stairs were dark and lightless, the walls on both sides were mottled and had mold spots, and the air was a bit turbid, making people feel depressed.
In such a depressing environment, Chen Zhong still raised his feet expressionlessly and stepped on each step, making dull footsteps.
soon.
It came to the third floor.
The third floor was also pitch dark and nothing could be seen.
However, the dark environment does not seem to have any impact on it, and it can see the scene in front of it clearly without the need for light.
In the darkness, the ghost came to 301's door.
next moment.
It walked directly over, stretched out its cold arms, and tried to push open the old wooden door.
But pushing the door failed. The wooden door seemed old, but it was stronger than expected.
But this was not enough for Chen Zhong to give up.
Suddenly.
It seemed to be irritated, so it simply raised its foot and kicked the door violently.
"boom!"
The door to Room 301 was kicked open by it.
The huge banging of the door echoed in the silent building, and a chill that had been trapped for a long time hit my face.
Accompanied by this, a dim, yellow light illuminated Chen Zhong's body.
The moment the light lights up, if anyone comes back again, they will be surprised to find that the shadow behind Chen Zhong is actually incomplete.
It's not as simple as just missing an arm or missing a leg.
The lights gathered together, and there was only a terrifying and weird shadow at Chen Zhong's feet.
This is a shadow of a human head with only the outline of its facial features.
Apart from this, this shadow has no other parts, as if it has lost its original body.
And just then.
Chen Zhong stepped into room 301.
The furniture in the room is very old, most of it is wooden, painted with red paint and somewhat faded.
There are yellowed glass light bulbs above the head, old-fashioned floral tiles on the floor, and many 1980s-style posters on the walls, with thumbtacks holding the corners of the posters.
But the strange thing is that in such an old-furnished room, everything seems to be very clean and tidy, as if someone is cleaning the room all the time.
In other words, this room has always stayed at a certain moment, so it gives people an unusually neat feeling.
That's when.
The door to room 301 closed by itself for some reason.
But Chen Zhong, or the ghost, has arrived in Room 301.
Later.
Like a tourist, Chen Zhong began to wander around the living room.
It seems to be looking for something, as if it wants to destroy the balance here.
Suddenly.
It came to the wooden table in the living room.
There is an old vegetable basket placed in the corner under the table.
This vegetable basket is made of rattan, which could be seen everywhere in the countryside in the past. Moreover, this vegetable basket is well preserved and has a smooth and shiny handle. It seems to indicate that this is a very important thing, because only important things can be stored for a long time.
After using it, you will get such a shiny patina on it.
The basket was covered with a layer of blue floral cloth, as if someone wanted to hide the contents of the basket.
But the more something is hidden, the more ghosts want to dig it out.
This ghost has stolen the memories of too many living people and developed some human-like intelligence.
Immediately, the ghost controlled Chen Zhong to squat down, stretched out his hand, and lifted up the piece of floral cloth.
However, the basket was empty and there seemed to be nothing in it.
But the moment he lifted the cloth, Chen Zhong suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a strange and scary smile.
It seemed that in his eyes, there was something in the basket, but normal people's eyes could not see what was in the basket.
The next moment, Chen Zhong covered it with this layer of floral cloth.
But at this moment one of his hands reached into the basket.
The palm of his hand began to move in the basket. Although it was covered by the floral cloth, you could still see through the outline of the floral cloth that Chen Zhong seemed to be twisting something with his fingers.
It's like twisting a gear, turning something.
After completing this series of actions, Chen Zhong took back his hand and slowly stood up.
It does some tricks, but they don't seem to be enough to upset the balance of the house.
Suddenly, he slowly turned around and faced deeper into the room.
Continuing along the living room, there are two rooms inside.
One on the left and one on the right should be the bedrooms of this house.
Although the bedroom doors are closed and nothing can be seen from the outside, according to the ghost's senses, there is danger in both houses.
The greatest danger seems to be hidden in the room on the left.
Maybe the less frightening ghosts will choose to give in, or even run away out of instinct.
However, the wise ghost obviously will not retreat just like that.
To be precise, it is designed to release the most dangerous taboo in this house.
The link that breaks the balance causes a chain reaction, causing Room 301 to lose control, and finally the danger in Room 301 affects the outside world.
Once this plan succeeds, the stability of this world will collapse instantly, starting from Okawa City and spreading to the entire world, eventually turning the entire world into a hell on earth.
"Crunch——!"
now.
The hinges of the old wooden door made a squeaking sound.
One of the bedroom doors in 301 was pushed open.
What hits your face is a refreshing fragrance.
This is sandalwood. This insipid aroma is generally used to calm the nerves, but in the supernatural world, sandalwood is basically used to cover the odor of corpses.
There are also lights in the room, but compared to the lights in the living room, the lights in the bedroom seem to be dimmer, exuding a depressing atmosphere, and the air is also filled with an inexplicable coldness.
But in this dim bedroom, there seems to be another smell hidden in the remaining faint scent of sandalwood.
It is a smell that causes humans to feel discomfort out of instinct, and it is a smell that can only be emitted when the same species dies.
The smell of corpse.
It smelled like someone had died in this bedroom, but the time of death was not very long, and the smell had not reached its peak.
Chen Zhong walked into the bedroom, and his gray eyes immediately looked somewhere.
It is the most conspicuous and largest red-painted wooden bed in the bedroom.
The wooden bed is not a modern style, but a very old canopy bed with a four-poster, four-bar bed and a bed top.
Nowadays, few people have such a bed in their homes, not only because such a bed itself has a strong sense of the times, but also because sleeping on such a bed will give people a depressing feeling of being blocked on three sides.
Just like this moment, this canopy bed just placed in the bedroom gives people a gloomy feeling. Coupled with the faded red paint color, it always reveals a strange and depressing feeling.
But there was a person lying on such an old bed.
To be precise, it's a corpse.
The smell of corpse emanates from this corpse.
That is, after seeing the corpse reflected in the bed curtain, Chen Zhong's face showed a weird smile again.
It walked slowly over.
Without any scruples, Chen Zhong came to the bedside and directly reached out to lift the bed curtain.
As the covering bed curtain was pulled open, the smell of corpses completely dissipated. The smell of decay suddenly became extremely strong, and the corpse of an old man with a skinny and shriveled face came into view.
The old man's body had already developed spots. His eyes were tightly closed, but his eye sockets were sunken deeply. His body was wrapped in a red quilt, and his thin hands were folded on his chest, as if he was walking very peacefully and calmly.
However, at the next moment.
Mengdi.
The seemingly peaceful old man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, turned his stiff neck, and his dead, turbid eyes instantly stared at Chen Zhong who had opened the bed curtain.
At the same time, Chen Zhong, who was controlled by the ghost, seemed to have a moment of panic on his face.
It seems to be implying that such an awakened old man is a being that even ghosts would be afraid of.
It seemed that it did not expect that the old man would recover so quickly.
The old man who had been dead for a long time but suddenly opened his eyes stared at Chen Zhong.
A horrifying scene appeared.
Chen Zhong's body began to fade rapidly, as if it was about to be wiped out from this world. It lost its color and turned into black and white.
Immediately afterwards, the black and white body began to disappear, and it seemed that in the end, the entire Chen Zhong would disappear completely.
But the most incredible scene was that next to Chen Zhong, a figure of an old man in a mold began to appear.
This is an old man who does not look clear and does not yet fully exist in reality.
The old man's body showed a strange black and white color, but as Chen Zhong's body disappeared little by little, the old man who appeared next to him began to gain color little by little and became clearer.
