National idol Makoto Karasawa is currently living in a room on the third floor of an apartment in Nara.
When she originally chose to buy a room on the third floor, she actually considered that in the event of an earthquake or other emergency, she could easily escape via the stairs.
If the situation is so urgent that it is too late to take the elevator, you can climb out from the fence outside the window, and you will not die if you fall accidentally.
Unfortunately, when she was in real danger at this moment, Tang Ze found that although the floor was very low, it was of no help to her escape...
Makoto Karasawa also considered buying a room on the first and second floors, but her agent said it was too low and there was no sense of security. Moreover, as a top star, living on the ground floor of an apartment was too low. At the same time,
Personal privacy cannot be effectively guaranteed.
This actually makes sense.
The design of the Nara apartment is quite special - the first and second floors are shared by multiple households on the same corridor, which means that there are several residents in one unit, and they are adjacent to each other. It's okay for ordinary people, but for celebrities, privacy is really
It's hard to get guarantees.
On the third to eighth floors, there are two households per unit, sharing an elevator.
On the eighth floor there is a unit for each household, with exclusive use of an elevator.
Three floors up, there are many units on the same floor. Although the elevators for residents in different units are not interconnected, they can be connected through the side staircase passages.
It can better protect the privacy of each household, and it is also very convenient to manage the property. You will not have to take the elevator on the first floor every time you go to a different unit, which will also occupy the elevator resources. At the same time, it is also very convenient to escape in an emergency.
convenient.
It is obvious that the higher you go, the richer the residents are.
Of course, Karasawa Makoto has the ability to buy a high-rise apartment, but she simply doesn't want to. The third floor is just right, neither too high nor too low, so it's very safe when you think about it.
Moreover, this house is just one of several houses that Karasawa Makoto has in Lidu City.
She rarely lives here usually. Only when the work schedule is too heavy for a certain period of time and she is exhausted physically and mentally, she will come here alone to escape and relax.
Except for the brokers with the closest connections, almost no one knows that Makoto Karasawa owns a house here.
Every time she comes here, she is well armed and has never been recognized by others.
In fact, Karasawa Makoto has not lived here for a while, which shows that she was in good condition in all aspects during this period.
Recently, because she and Ichiro Chida filmed the all-time hit "Lito Love Story", she was urged to get married by CP fans everywhere, but Ichiro Chida actually took the opportunity to confess to her in private yesterday, which made Karasawa
Makoto felt that the other party was too naive and did not distinguish between acting and reality at all.
In addition, when Ichiro Chida was interviewed everywhere, he always seemed to show that he and Karasawa Makoto were in an ambiguous state, which also troubled her a little.
He even doubted the other party's character, and he definitely had the idea of coercing Karasawa Makoto with public expectations.
To be honest, although Karasawa Makoto usually seems to be quite easy-going to movie fans and ordinary people, when it comes to relationships, she is really demanding and has extremely high vision. Even she doubts whether she will be able to find someone who truly makes her feel loved in her lifetime.
man.
Her agent simply said it bluntly: "If you continue to be picky like this, you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life. It just so happens that if you continue like this, you can always be my cash cow. With the state of maintenance you are in, even if you are fifty
I should be able to look like I'm in my twenties or thirties even if I'm many years old, and I can still continue to act in youth idol movies. Please don't make too much money."
Regarding these words, Karasawa Makoto called the other person a crow's mouth, but in her heart she felt that it was very likely to become a reality.
As for Chida Ichiro and his ilk, except for being very handsome and making a lot of money in movies, Karasawa Makoto is really not interested in men who have no connotation and almost no advantages. Her level is much higher than that of him, and her income is also the same.
The other party's price is several times that of the other party, and they don't care about money and status at all.
However, if he rashly draws a clear line with Ichiro Chida, he is likely to be harassed online by the other party's fans, and it will also affect the sales of "Lito Love Story" in various channels, which is still very popular.
The agent suggested that she not pay too much attention to it for the time being and wait until the popularity of "Lidu Love Story" subsides before dealing with it.
Tangze agreed.
But my mood was still quite affected, so I temporarily decided to come to Nara Apartment tonight for some quiet time. Unexpectedly... something terrible happened.
When she was about to go to bed tonight, she was applying a facial mask in front of the dressing table.
A picture suddenly appeared in front of him - it seemed to be filmed by a first-person camera. A man opened the door and faced the camera with an extremely frightened expression on his face.
Immediately afterwards, the camera zoomed in, and the man's terrifying expression was magnified to the extreme.
The screen goes black.
The camera zoomed out and the upper half of the man's head disappeared.
There was a lot of blood on the lens, and the picture was bright red, as if a red filter had been applied.
The camera zoomed in again, the screen went black, and zoomed out again. The rest of the man's head was gone, leaving only the part below the neck, covered in blood, standing stiffly.
Then, repeating the scene just now, the man seemed to be eaten one by one by a big mouth, until in the end, only two bloody feet were left.
At first, Karasawa Makoto thought that such a scene was just an illusion caused by being too tired recently.
For an actress who has been filming all year round and has also made horror and thriller movies, it is not very strange to have such hallucinations.
What is a little strange is that the layout of the room where the man who was eaten just now is a bit like the standard structure on the first floor of a Nara apartment. Karasawa had seen that type of apartment when she bought a house, and she had a good memory.
But this is just the beginning.
When half of the man's head was eaten, Tang Ze heard screams from the corridor, and then similar screams came from downstairs and next door.
The soundproofing effect of this apartment is quite good. You can imagine how frightened the screaming people were.
After a while, the scene just now appeared again.
Facing the camera this time was a woman wearing pajamas and applying a facial mask like Tang Ze - this gave Tang Ze a very strong sense of immersion, and his heart beat faster.
The woman initially sat in front of the mirror, dazed, and dropped the mask on the floor. There was a frightened expression on her face in the mirror, as if she had just seen something incredible.
After a while, she clutched her chest and gasped for air, as if she had just had a nightmare. This was very similar to Tang Ze's state at this time. It was just that Tang Ze's mask hadn't fallen off yet... it was about to happen.
The next moment, the woman seemed to see something extremely terrifying in the mirror. Her expression was distorted to the extreme, she covered her face, opened her mouth wide, and let out a shrill scream——
Tangze really heard the woman's scream, it was very clear, and it came from the house directly below Tangze.
After the screams, the camera zooms in, the picture goes black, the camera zooms out, and the upper half of the woman's head is eaten.
Repeat the previous process, as if the person holding the camera is an ogre, opening his mouth wide, eating the woman one by one, until only a pair of feet are left on the ground bleeding.
In the corridor and in the next room, frightened screams rang out one after another.
Karasawa quickly realized something - could this be a live broadcast that many residents in the Nara apartment could watch simultaneously? Or was it a prank?
She immediately took out her mobile phone and opened the Nara apartment owner communication group. The news in it had already exploded.
The first message was sent five minutes ago, when half of the first man's head had just been swallowed——
"Everyone, did you hear the screams just now?"
"It was so scary. My wife and I saw the horrific scene at the same time! The scream you heard might have been my wife's."
"Excuse me, what kind of scene did you and your wife see? I also just..."
"A man was eaten half of his head by some monster, and then his whole body was eaten, and finally only two feet were left!"
“!!!!!!”
Another resident typed a long series of exclamation points and then sent a message——
"Me, my wife, our nanny, and our two children all saw this scene!
What we saw was a damn first-person perspective, and the atmosphere was simply awesome. It wasn’t as scary as watching thrillers in the cinema. By the way, the room the man was in was very similar to the structure on the first floor of our apartment, and it was still a model house.
Decoration. I am so impressed.”
"I also saw it. When I was taking a shower, let me emphasize this - my perspective was like that of a man-eating monster. I was carrying a camera and rushed at the man's head. Half of the man's head disappeared. Is this a prank?
?This kind of scene will leave a lifelong shadow."
"Me too, we are a family of four...the children are so frightened that they cry, and they can't be coaxed anymore."
"Is it a prank? The TV people in our country like to do this kind of extremely perverted and disgusting prank shows. The more perverted the show, the higher the ratings. One time, they actually put an ordinary person into the scene of a gang fight. I was almost scared to death. I
I have complained hundreds of times, but the TV station has shown no attitude at all to correct it, and instead it has only gotten worse."
"That makes sense. Could it be that this time it's also a prank show? Isn't it that the concept of the metaverse is being hotly debated? After the high-tech gadgets are released, pranks are really scarier."
"It shouldn't be a prank show, because it's too real. If a prank show could be so realistic, the ratings would be astronomical. And this kind of show would communicate with us residents, or the actors, in advance, right?"
The next posts were filled with messages from residents in the apartment reporting that they and their families had seen the same horrific scenes.
This property owner group was originally established by the property management company to facilitate communication with residents. Unexpectedly... today it has become a horror story live broadcast exchange group.
During this period, a user interrupted:
"I have already called the police and told the operator in detail about the strange things that happened here.
The police said that professionals will be arranged to handle the matter soon. At the same time, the operator suggested that we should not act rashly for the time being, otherwise we may trigger something called a terrible rule. Once triggered, the consequences will be terrible.
The tone of the police sounded very calm and there was no strange feeling at all. It seems that they often deal with similar incidents. I think we should wait for the results of the police investigation."
"What are you waiting for! Can those policemen who are busy concealing the truth all day tell you the truth? I have familiar friends who have heard inside information and said that weird things are happening every day in Lidu, no, in the entire country.
, but the police have been doing everything possible to conceal the truth! I thought he was talking nonsense before, but it seems that is the case."
"This is too scary. I am packing my things right now and preparing to take my whole family to leave this ghost place immediately."
"This is the serious way!"
Later, it seemed that the live broadcast of the second woman being eaten was staged.
All kinds of frightening messages flooded the owner's communication group, and many people called the police.
Someone said: "I'm on the second floor, and the woman who was eaten just now seems to live next door to me. It's so scary!"
Immediately afterwards, a user on the first floor seemed to have just opened the communication group and sent a message: "The first man who was eaten lives in the third room next to me. The two of us often say hello in the corridor... This is
What kind of thriller plot? Is it like in a science fiction movie, some scary monster has sneaked into our building? "
"Everyone, please act quickly. My wife and I, as well as my son and daughter, have already got on the elevator and will leave this apartment immediately. It's best for you to hurry up."
Yes, leave the apartment.
Seeing this, this idea came to Tang Ze's mind.
After the initial panic period, she gradually calmed down.
After thinking about it for a moment, she quickly threw away the mask, put on some casual clothes and a baseball cap, and planned to walk out without a face. Just kidding, she would be in trouble if she bothered to dress up at this time.
Just as he was about to go out, the terrifying live broadcast started again——
Still from the first perspective, the location seems to be outside an elevator in a Nara apartment. Karasawa Makoto has only seen elevator doors like this in this apartment.
The camera is facing the door of the elevator. The seat seems to be on the first floor. The display shows that the elevator is going down from the 31st floor - 29, 28, 27...
Karasawa Makoto suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility. She immediately opened the chat group and sent a message:
"The person who took the elevator just now! Are you still in the elevator now? How many floors are you on? Please tell me the number..."
The person replied:
"26,25,24..."
It is completely synchronized with the floor in the live broadcast footage.
The owners immediately went crazy.
Someone directly sent a voice message——
"Fool! That monster is waiting for you at the elevator entrance on the first floor!"
"What do you mean?" The person in the elevator seemed to be unable to see the live broadcast.
"The picture we see now is that the monster is staring at the elevator door on the first floor!"
"ah!!??"
More people are helping with ideas:
"Hurry up and press the elevator!"
"You can click on any floor, but don't go down to the first floor!"
The man quickly sent a voice message, his voice was extremely panic——
"It's over! The elevator buttons seem to be broken and I can't press any of them."
Then, the sound of Bangbangbang knocking on the elevator door came from the voice.
Karasawa Makoto looked at the camera in front of him. The elevator had sunk to 22, 21, 20...
She sent another message: "Which unit do you live in?"
"Unit 3, 33rd floor..."
He happens to have the same unit number as Karasawa Makoto.
She quickly ran out the door and sent a voice message to the group as she ran:
"Quick, everyone in the third unit below the 20th floor should go to the corridor and press the elevator!"
What she meant was very clear. As long as someone could open the elevator from outside, there would still be hope for the family.
"Hey, this resident's voice... sounds very nice and familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere." Someone replied to the message in the group.
Karasawa Makoto ignored all this and hurried to the elevator door and pressed the elevator button.
It was pitch black outside and it was really scary. It felt like the monster would rush out of the darkness at any time.
After pressing the button, Makoto Karasawa immediately returned home, opened a crack in the door and looked at the elevator entrance.
Before entering the door, she saw the neighbor across the door also opened the door, and a little light showed through the crack of the door. The neighbor seemed to take a look at the situation in the corridor, and then——
With a "bang" sound, the door was closed.
Soon, news came from the group that the man in the elevator was safe:
"Thank you to the neighbor on the 16th floor! Our family has got out of the elevator safely. We are now taking refuge in this neighbor's home. Thank you very much!"
After seeing this message, the lens that was staring at the elevator door disappeared.
Karasawa Makoto also breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel lucky for that family.
At this time, someone in the group sent another voice message:
"I am a resident on the first floor. There are five of us here, all living on the first and second floors. They escaped from home after seeing the horrific scene just now. Our current location is the front entrance of the apartment, and everything outside is
There is a heavy black fog, I can’t see anything, it’s so weird, I don’t know whether I should go back or..."
After hearing this, the live broadcast footage appeared again——
In the dark mist, a man turned his back to the camera and lowered his head to talk into the microphone of his mobile phone.
News from the group is coming——
"Hey, look behind you!"
"Run!"
When the man saw the news, he subconsciously looked back, and the expression on his face was instantly distorted to the extreme.
The camera zooms in...
After a while, there were only two feet left on the ground, and he happily ran back towards the front door of the apartment with bloody steps.
"!!!"
"What's going on?!"
"Run quickly, those neighbors who are still at the front door of the apartment, run back quickly!"
The reminders in the household group are completely useless.
The horrific live broadcast just now was repeated four times in just one minute.
Karasawa Makoto suddenly thought: If there is black mist outside, people who run out will be eaten. That means that in the face of such a terrifying thing, even jumping off the building is useless, right?
After the last pair of feet ran back to the apartment.
The residents group was silent for a long time, and finally someone sent this message——
"Who will be next?"
The group suddenly became dead silent.
After a while, someone replied:
"The monster seems to be walking from bottom to top...Looking at the situation just now, there is one on the first floor and one on the second floor..."
Does this mean it’s the third floor’s turn next?
Karasawa Makoto couldn't help but feel nervous, she lived on the third floor.
But if you think about it carefully, even if the monster does come to the third floor later, there are many residents on the third floor. Although there are two households in one unit, there are many parallel units. It can't be such a coincidence that he just found the one on the third floor.
Got her?
At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door...
