Chapter 39: Midnight is the most deadly

 "I can..." Form a team by myself.

But before Gu Mian finished expressing her opinion, she was interrupted by Qing Huan: "Then I'll team up with Dr. Gu."

Gu Mian swallowed her words silently.

Yu Wenhao looked at them, then at the remaining Lin Yue'er and Huang Yu: "No one wants to form a team by themselves, so let's make a team of three of us."

Lin Yue'er and Huang Yu acquiesced.

Yu Wenhao took out a mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Gu Mian: "This is the mobile phone I bought on the way here. I also have one here. It has no function, but the calling card has been inserted. Your mobile phone has my

Please give us your mobile phone number so we can communicate in pairs."

It's 2002 now, an era when you don't need an ID card to apply for a mobile phone card.

Gu Mian took the phone and put it into her white coat.

Yu Wenhao then spoke: "At five o'clock in the afternoon... no, we will meet here at four o'clock, and we will have time to discuss the issue of where to live."

Gu Mian didn't think that the ghosts wouldn't have followed if they had moved to another house, but since these teammates wanted to do this, he wouldn't be the naysayer.

After the discussion, several teammates who looked weak finally dispersed.

The four of them didn't sleep much last night, and the consequences of staying up late in the dungeon are the same as in reality. They suffer from a serious lack of sleep and very low work efficiency.

Qing Huan was still yawning when she followed Gu Mian out.

Gu Mian glanced at him: "Boys who often stay up late may develop kidney deficiency, which can even lead to infertility."

Qing Huan heard this and checked: "Doctor, you seem to know this very well."

Gu Mian walked quickly on the asphalt road: "I am a doctor, of course I understand this."

Qing Huan also trotted after him: "But Doctor Gu, are you a physician?"

The sun is slowly rising and the weather seems to be good today.

Gu Mian raised her head and glanced at the sun: "No, I am the kind of surgeon who can skillfully use a hammer, tweezers, knife, electric drill, and electric saw."

"Surgeon..." Qing Huan paused: "Surgeon is also so aware of the dangers of staying up late?"

The surgeon in his mind is very capable with hands and mouth, and loves to tell dirty jokes, but no surgeon has ever warned him about the dangers of staying up late.

"I memorized the book when I was in school. I memorized the whole book. Of course I remembered it clearly."

"Didn't the teacher give you the important knowledge points?"

"Patients don't get sick based on knowledge."

"..."

During the chat, the two finally arrived at Gu Mian's residence.

The house is rented.

This is a very dilapidated apartment building. The roof of the building still has a triangular roof, and the sign of 'Hongsheng Apartment' is hung on it. The building is painted yellow, but when we get to the roof, it seems that the paint has run out.

, so I used a similar light pink color instead, trying to get away with it.

But the camouflage method is really not very good. The pale pink circle on the top of the head is very conspicuous. A person with myopia of less than 800 degrees can clearly see the several colors of this building at a glance.

This building has a total of three units, five floors, and each unit has ten houses, but now there are only five households left in the whole building.

Gu Mian knew which household the landlord was in because there was a large piece of paper posted there at the bottom of the building with a line of handwritten words on it.

“Tenants please go to the west door on the fifth floor of Unit 3 to pay their water and electricity bills on time every month.”

Gu Mian lives on the east side of the first floor of a unit, which is the furthest away from the landlord.

Without worrying about whether she lived far or close to the landlord, Gu Mian raised her legs and walked towards the third unit, and Qing Huan quickly followed.

Probably because she didn't sleep well last night, Qing Huan started breathing heavily when she reached the fourth floor, which attracted Gu Mian's attention.

"Brother" he patted Qing Huan on the shoulder: "Why are you so weak?"

Qing Huan looked up at him in surprise: "Doctor, you have very good physical strength. Can you carry such a big guitar on your back and go up to the fourth floor without gasping for breath?"

Of course, Gu Mian was carrying the chainsaw behind her. If I were not strong enough, I would not know where the body would be buried by now.

Qing Huan straightened up and climbed up: "I haven't done much exercise since I went to college. The classrooms are basically on the first and second floors. It's tiring to go from the dormitory downstairs to outside the school gate to pick up a courier. And now there are elevators. I haven't done that for a long time.

I’ve been exercising.”

The physical fitness of people on earth is indeed in danger.

After finally climbing up to the fifth floor with Qing Huan, Gu Mian was about to knock on the east door, but before he could reach out, the door of the landlord's house opposite was opened from the inside with a "squeak".

The two looked back.

I saw the door behind me opened a crack, and half of a woman's face appeared in the crack. The light was a little dim and I couldn't see clearly.

The woman behind the door stared at them and asked with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Are you..."

Gu Mian looked at her: "I also rented a house here. I have something to ask the landlord here. Who are you?"

But the woman didn't seem to mean to talk, she just said "oh" coldly, and then slammed the door.

Qing Huan came over mysteriously: "Based on my many years of experience in reading supernatural novels, there is definitely something wrong with this woman!"

It turns out that this is what the guy from the Chinese department does on weekdays?

Without further delay, Gu Mian knocked on the landlord's door.

Within a few seconds, there was a sound from inside, and a person was heard slowly coming to the door, and then opening the door a crack.

A face full of wrinkles was revealed behind the door. The landlord was an elderly woman. Her hair was already snow-white. It was not the kind of white that is mixed with dust and fishes in troubled waters. It was white, with no impurities at all.

.

She was quite neatly dressed, wearing a pair of glasses and holding a yellowed newspaper in her hand.

"Xiao Gu!" Seeing Gu Mian, she opened the door warmly and pulled him in: "Why are you here?"

The copy assigned identities to everyone, but did not tell them specifically what their identities were.

Now the landlord knew Gu Mian, but Gu Mian didn't know her, so she had to pretend.

He sat on the sofa and showed a fake smile: "That's right, I feel like something is wrong with the house I live in these two days, so I came to ask you."

"Something's wrong?" The landlord pushed up her glasses, which were sunken to the bridge of her nose. She seemed surprised: "What's wrong?"

Gu Mian looked at her: "There will be strange knocks on the door in the middle of the night."

"Strange knocking at the door?" The landlord chewed these words carefully. His face was slightly confused at first, but then his expression changed drastically as if he remembered something.
