Not only that, countless yellow-green light spots also lit up around the pitch-black building.
These light spots are very conspicuous in the darkness, like the eyes of a beast, slowly approaching Jinxiu Tower.
If there is a lightning flash, you can also see clouds of black mist rising next to the yellow-green light spots.
The black mist is dotted with countless bloody pupils, looking like crumbling red leather lanterns.
As these visions appeared one after another, there were waves of animal howls outside Jinxiu Tower, as if there were evil wolves around.
However, I didn't see any of these phenomena, because at this moment, I had already entered Jinxiu Tower.
Everything was as usual in Jinxiu Tower. There were no dark clouds, no yellow-green light spots, and no black mist jumping into my field of vision.
I looked up at the sky and could still see the sunset over the building. Under the sunset, the light in the Jinxiu Tower was not very dark.
"It's almost five o'clock in the afternoon." After picking up my phone and checking the time, I observed the internal structure of Jinxiu Building.
This Jinxiu Building is divided into four buildings, namely Building A, Building B, Building C and Building D.
These four buildings surround each other in a square shape, like a modern Roman Coliseum.
At this moment, I am standing at the bottom of this "Roman Arena".
Looking up, I saw four buildings arranged on the left, right, and front, surrounding me like four mountains.
I observed carefully for a while and found that all floors of these four buildings were connected.
For example, the second floor of Building A can lead to the second floors of the other three buildings. By analogy, the third floor of Building B can lead to the third floors of the other three buildings. The fourth floor of Building C can also lead to the third floor of the other three buildings.
The fourth floor of the remaining three buildings.
So rather than saying it is a modern Roman Colosseum, it is better to say it is a simple Hakka enclosed house.
I counted carefully and learned that these four buildings are divided into seven floors.
"The cheongsam woman lives on the third floor of Building D." After learning the number of floors in the building, I began to identify the specific numbers of the four buildings.
Finally, I discovered that the buildings on my left and right were Buildings A and B, while Buildings C and D lay in front of and behind me.
As for the open space where I am standing, it should be the garden of Jinxiu Building, where residents rest and play.
However, due to long-term abandonment, the debris in the garden accumulated into mountains, emitting an indescribable stench.
The originally green turf has also been eroded by yellow sand, such as an old man with a bald head.
The remaining infrastructure in the garden was destroyed into pieces of scattered mechanical parts, which was too horrible to look at.
There are still a few trees standing in the garden, but because no one has pruned them, these trees have grown wildly and messily, which greatly affects the overall image of Jinxiu Building.
Looking at this unsightly garden, I took a deep breath and then moved closer to Building D directly in front of me.
Soon, I crossed the messy garden and stood in front of the gate of Building D.
But before I could gain a firm foothold, something unexpected happened.
Canopy!
An explosion sounded next to my ears!
I turned around in horror and saw a flowerpot filled with soil that burst open half a step away.
If I had taken half a step slower, my head would have been smashed by this flower pot!
Thinking of the scene where the head was smashed, I felt endless panic in my heart.
"The flower pot was smashed from Building D! Someone is trying to kill me!" I looked up in fear and anger.
But Building D was completely empty, with no one around at all.
"Did the wind blow down the flower pot?" Thinking of this situation, the shock and anger in my heart gradually gave way to doubt.
Just when I was wondering, there was a "creak" sound, the door of building D opened from the inside, and the cheongsam woman got out.
"I'm sorry, I just answered another call and kept you waiting." The cheongsam woman bowed slightly.
"It's okay, I just arrived, so I didn't wait too long." While answering, I suddenly noticed the woman's hands.
The woman's hands are wet, as if she has just washed them?
"Why did she wash her hands? Did she push down the flowerpot?" The horrifying scene I had just experienced resurfaced in my heart again. I still didn't believe that the wind blew down the flowerpot.
"The flowerpot is filled with soil. Even if there is strong wind, it is difficult to move it. Besides, there is no wind at all. Moreover, the timing and position of the flowerpot falling are too coincidental. It is clearly aimed at me." I
After thinking about it, I still feel that the human factor is the biggest factor.
"The woman in the cheongsam is very suspicious, because I only informed her after I came to Jinxiu Tower." I thought to myself, still staring at the woman's hands.
The woman in the cheongsam finally noticed my gaze and couldn't help but shrink her hands: "When I just answered the phone, I accidentally dropped a cup of coffee, so I washed my hands again."
After saying that, the cheongsam woman continued: "Stop standing outside, come in, but there is no elevator in the building, so you have to climb the stairs."
"It's okay, it's just the third floor. No one can die." I smiled meaningfully and followed the figure of the cheongsam woman into Building D.
Looking at the back of the woman moving slowly in front of me, I felt wary: "Until the woman in the cheongsam is cleared of suspicion, don't trust her too much. I always feel that she is not simple."
There are no rooms on the first floor of Building D, and there is only one staircase leading to the upper floor.
Taking advantage of the light on the stairs, I followed the woman in cheongsam up the stairs.
Soon, we were far away from the first floor and were on the second floor.
I took a cursory look and found that there were six rooms on the second floor. The doors of these six rooms were closed, and I didn't know who was inside.
So I stopped and asked the back of the cheongsam woman: "Isn't Jinxiu Building abandoned long ago? Why did you buy the room here? Isn't it worth it?"
The cheongsam woman paused, but did not turn around: "A real estate developer is already preparing to reopen Jinxiu Building. I believe that it will not be long before the bustling place returns to its former glory. My husband and I were afraid that we would not be able to buy it by then, so we bought this place early.
."
"Does that mean that no one is in charge here for the time being?" I continued to ask.
"How come there isn't? But there is only one administrator in Jinxiu Building of Nuovo University. He lives in Building A, Room 201."
"There is only one administrator, and you are not afraid of homeless people occupying these rooms?" I chuckled.
"Then I don't know. It's not my turn to worry about these things, but homeless people generally don't dare to approach Jinxiu Tower." The cheongsam woman paused and did not continue.
I had no choice but to ask again: "Why don't homeless people dare to approach Jinxiu Tower?"
But only my voice echoed on the second floor, and the cheongsam woman did not answer this question.
I had to change the topic: "Apart from you and the administrator, are there any other residents in Jinxiu Building?"
The cheongsam woman thought for a while and finally spoke again: "I don't know about the other three buildings. I only know that besides my husband and I, there are four families living in Building D. As for how many members there are in these four families, I don't know.
."
When she mentioned her husband, the cheongsam woman twitched slightly, so I had no choice but to give up asking and follow the cheongsam woman to the third floor.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the building, which made me a little scared.
In this state, I vaguely heard the footsteps, which seemed to be mixed with the barking of a dog.
The barking sound was getting closer and closer to me, as if it was emanating from the rooms in the building.
"Did you hear that?" I quickly approached the woman in cheongsam in embarrassment.
"What did you hear?" The woman in the cheongsam seemed to squeeze out a sentence from her throat.
"It's the barking of dogs," I replied.
Unexpectedly, the cheongsam woman shook her head: "I didn't hear it. It's probably your misunderstanding."
As soon as I finished speaking, the cheongsam woman and I climbed up to the third floor and came to room 301 where the woman lived.
Immediately afterwards, the cheongsam woman took out the key and prepared to open the door of 301.
But at this moment, Room 302 opposite to Room 301 was suddenly pushed open, and an 80-year-old woman walked out of it.
This 80-year-old woman was wearing a black birthday robe and holding a polished wooden cane in her hand.
The eighty-year-old woman must have suffered from rickets. Most of her body and half of her head were buried deep in her back, and she relied on crutches to support her walking.
However, even with the support of crutches, she still staggered when walking and seemed about to fall to the ground at the next moment.
"This old lady should also be a resident of Jinxiu Building." Looking at the old lady's swaying figure, I quickly stepped forward to help her: "Grandma, if you want to buy anything, you can ask your family to buy it. You don't have to go downstairs yourself.
"
Unexpectedly, the cheongsam woman behind me was startled and looked at me as if she were a ghost: "You...who are you talking to?"
"I'm talking to the old lady who lives in room 302. What's wrong?" I held the old lady's hand and turned my head to look at the cheongsam woman.
The expression on the woman's face suddenly turned pale: "What are you talking nonsense about? There is no one living in Room 302, so where is the old lady?"
"Uh, that old lady is right next to me, can't you see? Hey, where is the person?" I looked around me in surprise.
There was nothing around him, there was no 80-year-old woman at all, only himself raising his hands stupidly.
"Is this all an illusion?" My face froze instantly, and I felt a cold feeling in my hands and feet.
The cheongsam woman was frightened by my actions. She immediately opened the door of room 301 in a panic and disappeared into the room.
I was left standing outside the door, looking left and right, and finally focused on the door of room 302.
The door of 302 was not only broken and peeling, but also covered with many white cobwebs, which was obviously caused by no one pushing the door open for a long time.
Since no one has pushed the door open for a long time, how could I see the old lady pushing the door open and leaving?
"Can you still encounter ghosts in broad daylight? It's bad luck." After saying that, I put down my raised hands and walked towards room 301.
But at this moment, I felt a pain in the palms of my hands.
I quickly spread my hands and took a look, only to see four lines of small black characters appearing on my palms.
