After Zhao Long said this, he hung up the phone and walked into the dark Building 3 without waiting for Mo Yuan to answer.
The light is very dim.
"Ah Ning, grab my hand." Dong Xie grabbed Dong Ning's hand tightly and said, "If something happens, I will take you to escape immediately. The Blood Letter has not officially started yet..."
"I think the problem won't be too big." Dong Ning turned on the flashlight of her phone to illuminate the surroundings: "It'll be okay, brother. If there aren't enough reminders of how to survive, we'll be fine."
This section of the road is actually not very long. However, because the light was dim, the three of them walked cautiously, fearing that something scary would suddenly jump out. Judging from the past examples of "Words in Scarlet", this kind of thing is completely true.
may happen.
Fortunately... nothing happened.
After reaching the door of Room 104, Zhao Long stopped, walked forward and pressed the doorbell.
Then he took a breath and took three steps back.
About ten seconds later, the door opened.
At this time, the three of them were very nervous, fearing that something terrible would appear after opening the door.
At this time, a hunchbacked old lady appeared at the door. The old lady looked to be at least seventy or eighty years old. Under her sparse white hair, her face was covered with age spots, and her eyes were extremely cloudy, as if she had cataracts.
generally.
"Then... that..." Zhao Long took a step back and said, "We agreed... to come and move in... as a tenant. I was the one who called just now..."
"There are...two missing."
"Um?"
"One...two...three..." The old lady stretched out her fingers tremblingly, revealing her mouth with several missing teeth, and said: "We agreed, there will be five people, right?"
"Well...yes, that's it...the other two people, they also want to see the environment of the community. Chen...Mrs. Chen, please take us to the house first."
The old lady glanced at Zhao Long with cloudy eyes, then at Dong Xie and Dong Ning, and then continued to say in vague words: "You guys wait a moment."
Then, she closed the door.
"Huh..." Dong Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Dong Ning: "Ah Ning, don't be afraid... I..."
"I...I'm not afraid...but don't hold my hand so hard..."
At this moment, the door opened again, and the old lady came out with a bunch of keys.
"follow me."
At this moment, the light above suddenly dimmed, and it took about two seconds before it turned on again. Just now, the three of them were startled. Although Dong Ning didn't say anything, she held on tightly.
Dong Xie's hands and nails almost pierced into Dong Xie's skin!
The old lady tilted her head and looked towards Zhao Long. The light in front of the elevator was a little brighter. Looking carefully at this time, there was almost no black left in the old lady's cloudy eyeballs.
Then, the old lady... walked towards the stairs.
This surprised Zhao Long and Dong Xie. They had seen the elevator when they came in just now. Seeing how old the old lady was, they were worried that she had to take the elevator.
In the past records of Scarlet Letter, residents who escaped death have summarized many survival experiences. During the Scarlet Letter execution period, staying away from mirrors and not entering enclosed spaces as much as possible are all important common sense. Elevators, during the Scarlet Letter execution
The period can be regarded as a mobile coffin. Zhao Long was still thinking of finding reasons not to take the elevator, but now it saves trouble.
Originally, under normal circumstances, when the old lady had obvious vision problems, both Dong Xie and Dong Ning would have stepped up to help her. But the current scene was too weird, and they did not dare to act rashly.
When they reached the stairs, the old lady walked in front and they followed behind.
They were going to the fifth floor. The old lady obviously had a hard time walking, but why didn't she choose to take the elevator? Could it be that the elevator was broken?
The old lady walked slowly, and Zhao Long, Dong Xie and Dong Ning behind her also walked very slowly. The stairs were covered with cobwebs and the walls were full of cracks. It looked really old.
Along the way, they kept turning on the flashlight on their mobile phones to try to dispel as much darkness as possible. Although, the light had no effect on the evil spirits.
At this time, they reached the fourth floor. And at this time, they discovered that the passage from the stairwell to the fourth floor was blocked by an iron door.
"Here...it's locked..." Zhao Long pointed to the locked iron door and asked, "Here..."
"The fourth floor is blocked." The old lady replied, "Only the elevator can go in."
"blockade?"
This immediately stunned Zhao Long, Dong Xie and Dong Ning.
"Why……"
But the old lady said nothing next.
Dong Ning walked to the iron gate and took a picture of the inside of the iron gate with her mobile phone. Outside the iron gate was a straight corridor, and it was completely dark inside. It looked really scary.
Dong Ning swallowed suddenly, and then followed Dong Xie up the stairs.
Finally, we arrived on the 5th floor.
After arriving on the fifth floor, the old lady walked towards a door near the stairwell, took out the key, and opened the door.
"That's it."
This is a house of less than 100 square meters, but five people only need to live there for a few hours, so it doesn’t matter how big or small it is. After entering it, the old lady turned on the light, and then said: "This is it."
"okay……"
"This is the key. Take it."
At this moment, Zhao Long suddenly felt very strange.
The previous rental contract was signed between Zhao Long and Mr. Chen’s son who lives in the urban area of K city. Mrs. Chen must have never met them. She didn’t even look at their ID cards and gave them the keys?
Zhao Long took the key in confusion, and before he could say anything, the old lady said: "Remember one thing. No matter what happens, don't go to the fourth floor. No matter...what...happens..."
When she said the last few words, the old lady's voice became very strange.
"Well... we can't go to the 4th floor? Why?" Zhao Long's heart skipped a beat when he heard this sentence. I'm afraid... the core problem of "Blood Letter" lies here. Naturally, he must ask clearly.
The old lady stared at Zhao Long with turbid eyes, but without saying anything, she turned back and walked towards the stairwell.
"This...Mrs. Chen, please explain clearly, why can't you go to the fourth floor?"
Dong Xie also chased after him, intending to ask clearly, but Mrs. Chen did not answer and walked down the steps directly. Dong Xie wanted to catch up, but did not dare. This was on the steps of the stairs. What if something happened?
Unexpectedly, there are too many precedents these days of being blackmailed by old men and old ladies.
Watching Mrs. Chen walk downstairs, Zhao Long gritted his teeth and said, "This way...I'll call Mr. Chen later and ask about his son. He should know. The old lady didn't speak coherently. Maybe after asking
It’s no use asking.”
"The 4th floor... is the floor below... you can't go there... then, is that where the trouble is...?"
Zhao Long took out his mobile phone and called the landlord's son.
"Well...Mr. Chen, we have arrived. Your father is not here, but your mother brought us up. That's right, I have a question..."
"My mother? Mr. Zhao, are you kidding me? My mother... passed away a long time ago!"
