The stench was so unpleasant that I covered my mouth and nose with one hand and looked around the aisle with a flashlight in the other.
I only saw that the concrete on the corridor wall had become worn and peeling, and there were even many tiny ivy climbing on it.
"Have I entered the forest? I feel like these vines are alive, so I should stay away from them." Looking at these tiny vines, a trace of vigilance flashed across my eyes.
"The original Snake Tower was just old and did not peel off into the mass grave it is today. It seems that with the passage of time, everything in the Snake Tower has changed." Following the light of the flashlight, I walked forward.
I found that the further forward I went, the more worn out the walls of the corridor became.
When I walked to the stairs on the fifth floor, there was a mountain of waste and garbage piled up at my feet.
"Is the stench emitted by these waste products?" I immediately stopped and looked at the waste products and garbage at my feet.
"There are so many scraps in the corridor, didn't the other tenants on the fifth floor notice?"
"Didn't they come into this world? Then why did Zhang Tao appear here?"
"One more question, why did Zhang Tao only knock on my door and not on the doors of other tenants?"
At this moment, so many doubts came to my mind that my head almost exploded.
Snake Tower has a total of nine floors. Except for the first floor, which has no rental rooms and only has a security room, the eight floors above have four rental rooms on each floor.
These four rental rooms are separated by corridors, with two rental rooms on one side.
Moreover, the rental doors on both sides of the corridor are completely opposite to each other.
For example, there are four rental rooms on the fifth floor where I live. These four rental rooms are separated by corridors. On the left side from outside to inside, they are rooms 501 and 502, while on the right side from outside to inside, they are room 503.
room and room 504 where I live.
In other words, Room 504, where I live, is opposite Room 502.
The stairwell on the fifth floor is next to Room 501.
At this moment, I was standing at the stairway on the fifth floor, looking at the other three rooms with confusion: "Are there really no people in these rooms? Are they irrelevant to the mission and unable to get in, or..."
At this moment, a bold idea came to my mind.
I immediately turned back to room 504 and took a look at the iron pin that had been dragged up.
However, I did not choose to drag the iron pin away. Instead, I turned around and pushed open Room 502 on the opposite side.
Creaking, there was a sound.
Sure enough, as I expected, the door of Room 502 opened in response, and the door was not locked at all.
I lay sneakily in front of the door, trying to peek at the scene inside the room.
But room 502 is also gray
It was so dark that it was impossible to see if anyone was there.
"Go in or not? Let's go in and have a look. It's a fight!" This was the first time I decided to take a risk after coming to the gray world of Snake House.
Having made up my mind, I quietly walked into Room 502.
Because room 502 was completely gray, the light from the flashlight could only shine one meter away.
I silently made a decision. If there was any noise in Room 502, I would immediately turn around and run away. After all, my life was more important.
But until I explored the entire room 502, I didn't hear a sound.
There was no one in room 502, not even a mosquito, and of course there was no sound.
"Is there anyone in the other two rooms?" With a cautious attitude, I explored the other two rooms on the fifth floor, but I didn't find even a ghost.
I was relieved to learn that there was no one in the rented room on the fifth floor: "It seems that my idea was wrong. They should not have entered the world of Snake House, so there is no one in the room."
But I secretly feel that things are not that simple.
"Did I miss something?" I thought hard and closed all the doors.
After closing these doors, I stood at the stairway of the fifth floor again.
"Try not to damage the original appearance of the room. Maybe these ajar doors will help me." After I pondered, I ignored the matter and began to think about what to do next.
"Should I go upstairs or downstairs?" I looked downstairs sometimes, sometimes upstairs, feeling a little hesitant in my heart.
Just when I was hesitating, a few faint sounds of conversation suddenly reached my ears.
I was immediately shocked. Besides Zhang Tao, is there anyone else here?
I finally realized what I had missed. There was no one in the rented house. It was possible that the tenants had not entered the world of Snake House.
But there is another possibility, that is, the tenants have walked out of the rented apartment and gone to other places.
For example, the remaining tenants renting a room on the fifth floor may have gone to other places.
Thinking of this, an endless sense of crisis pressed into my heart, making my surroundings feel darker.
"The situation is not good for me. I originally thought that only Zhang Tao came in, but now I don't know how many tenants have come in." My heart gradually became very heavy.
However, it was heavy, and I still subconsciously identified the source of the talking sound.
"These faint voices of conversation came from the stairs on the seventh floor." These few voices of conversation were so weak that I could only hear a few words.
In order to hear what they were saying clearly, I decided to climb up from the fifth floor to the sixth floor.
After reaching the sixth floor, I stopped and lay on the stairs of the sixth floor and looked up.
Anticipating that the light source would attract their attention, I had already turned off the flashlight.
When I climbed from the fifth floor to the sixth floor, I relied on intuition.
Without the light source of the flashlight, the surroundings suddenly returned to gray.
I tried my best to open my eyes wide, and saw three dark figures standing at the stairway of the seventh floor.
Because the surroundings were too gray, I couldn't tell whether these three dark figures were men or women.
"Have you dealt with that guy from 504? Don't let anything happen." The stairs on the sixth floor are not far from the stairs on the seventh floor. The straight-line distance is only a few meters. I clearly heard a hoarse voice.
"Don't worry about what I'm doing. I've locked that guy's door and he won't be able to get out, hehe." A thin voice replied.
Although the voice was very subtle, I still heard the flattery in the voice.
In fact, I recognized this subtle voice, it was the voice of the landlord Zhang Tao.
In other words, one of the three dark shadows is the landlord Zhang Tao.
"How come Zhang Tao has a house, a car, a head and a good face, so how can he flatter the owner with a hoarse voice? I feel like they are having a conversation between superiors and subordinates, and Zhang Tao is one of the subordinates." I can't understand this point.
As I broke out of the window, the doubts in my heart were piling up.
"At least I now know who instigated Zhang Tao to deal with me. It was the owner of that hoarse voice."
"In this snake tower world, Zhang Tao and the others are likely to be against me, and may even prevent me from completing my mission. This is not a good sign."
"If this is a good sign, Zhang Tao and the others will not choose to deal with me, and they are obviously aware of my existence."
Just when I was thinking about it, an enchanting female voice squeezed into my ears: "Brother Zhou, you don't really believe Zhang Tao, do you? He has always been bad at things. Didn't you hear the sound of the broken window just now? It should have come from the fifth floor.
Sent."
As soon as this female voice came out, my hair stood on end!
The three of them actually heard the sound of my broken window!
Since they heard the sound of broken windows, they would definitely go down to the fifth floor to explore.
As expected, as soon as the enchanting female voice finished speaking, the hoarse voice sounded impatiently: "Zhang Tao, look at the good things you have done, you'd better pray that guy didn't escape, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"
Zhang Tao's tiny voice didn't sound again. He probably knew that he was in the wrong and didn't dare to talk easily.
"Okay, let's go down to the fifth floor and take a look first. I hope there won't be any mistakes." Seeing that Zhang Tao didn't speak, the hoarse voice sounded again.
