The front of the building had never been as lively as today. The warning lights kept flashing and the alarm kept buzzing like flies.
As one of the parties involved, Wu Tong followed Zhong Shu to the police station for questioning.
Throughout the whole process, the half-rotten face of the man in black kept swaying in front of his eyes. His turbid eyeballs were like broken glass, and white maggots were moving in and out of them... A wave of death suddenly entered his body, and his internal organs were restless in uneasiness, making a chaotic sound.
It was already late at night. A police officer had just talked to Wu Tong for a while, mainly to ask him if he had heard any strange noises next door recently, or if he had seen anyone coming in and out of Room 1. Wu Tong told him everything he knew. Other than the mysterious man in black, the strange old man who claimed to be the head of the building, and the ghost voice that came from underground every night, these mysterious things surprised the policeman with thick eyebrows.
"So, there's a ghost living next door?”The police officer couldn't help but ask when he heard Wu Tong tell him that there was a ghost living in the room.
Wu Tong nodded with a bitter smile.
"Forget it, let's stop here. He's right.”Zhong Shu walked over to confirm Wu Tong's words.
The policeman gave Wu Tong a strange look and walked away.
There were only Wu Tong and Zhong Shu in the interrogation room.
The light shone quietly in the room, but Wu Tong felt that everything under the light was unreal, giving him the illusion that it was a lifetime ago.
"I really don't understand what's going on. Just a few minutes before we entered the room, we saw that man in black.”
When Wu Tong thought of the man in black in the fridge, he started to shiver. It turned out that the man in black he had been looking at was actually a dead man.
Zhong Shu remembered that the manager had said that there was a person called Shen Qisheng living there. He could not help but mutter,""Could it be Shen Qisheng?"
Wu Tong thought for a moment and said,"Why don't we call the building manager over and ask him to identify him? Then we'll know if he's the person you're talking about."”
Zhong Shu shuddered. He suddenly remembered that at the scene, although there were many people and it was chaotic, he still heard an old voice.
It was a ghost!
The voice wasn't loud, but Zhong Shu had heard it. When he turned around to look for the voice, he felt lost. There were different expressions on their faces, and he couldn't tell who was talking.
Suddenly, the phone on Wu Tong's waist rang. He made an apologetic gesture and stood up to answer the phone.
It was Li Tong.
"Wu Tong, where the hell have you been?”Li Tong's pleasant voice had a hint of anger today.
"Keep your voice down. I'm in the police station.”Wu Tong glanced at Zhong Shu.
Zhong Shu tried his best to hold back his laughter. Li Tong's voice was very loud, and he had no choice but to hear it.
"Ah! Did you rob an old lady?”
"Don't talk nonsense. I'll explain to you when we get back.”
"I can't go back now. See when you can come and pick me up.”
Wu Tong looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already 9:15.
"Please, go home by yourself this time. I can't get away.”Wu Tong said in a low voice.
Although Wu Tong looked terrified, he could not hide the joy in his heart.
Zhong Shu shook his head with a bitter smile. Looking at Wu Tong, he seemed to see the scene of his first date with Xiaoling. Under the light yellow moonlight and the gentle breeze, he felt uneasy. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel melancholy.
"I'm really sorry." Wu Tong sat down again after he finished the call.
"It's getting late. There's nothing much here. If there's a problem, I'll deal with it. You can go back first!”Zhong Shu smiled at him.
"Don't you need to record your statement anymore?" Wu Tong cheered in his heart.
"Anyway, I was there at the time. I'll explain it to my colleagues.”
Wu Tong smiled at him gratefully and left in a hurry.
Sitting in the taxi, Wu Tong felt very tired. He leaned back and closed his eyes. The face of the man in black covered in maggots appeared in front of him again. The half mouth seemed to be wriggling.
Wu Tong suddenly felt disgusted. He opened his eyes and let out a terrifying cry. He grabbed his neck with both hands. He felt his blood rush up, and his neck turned red.
The driver was frightened. He did not know what was wrong with this person and hurriedly asked,"Sir, are you alright?"
Wu Tong finally let go of his hand, indicating that he was fine. After a long time, his breathing calmed down and he smiled at the driver in embarrassment.
The driver glanced at him strangely and focused on driving.
However, when the driver thought about how Wu Tong had told him the destination when he got in the car, a terrifying expression appeared on his face.
The taxi driver was a thin-faced young man who seemed to be very talkative. When he saw that Wu Tong was not very talkative, he said as he drove,"Why does Sir live there?"
Wu Tong seemed to have heard him talking. He shivered and woke up. He asked blankly,"Sorry, what did you say just now?"
"Don't you live in the building Pingfang District?”
"Yeah, is there a problem?" Wu Tong really didn't understand what was wrong with everyone. Why was even a driver pestering him?
"Haven't you heard of it? There was a ghost living there, and many people had already moved away.”
"How did you know?" Wu Tong really wanted to know the true source of this rumor.
"That's what people outside say. Moreover, people often see a man in black wandering around the building. It's very scary.”
Wu Tong didn't want to say another word.
Wu Tong got out of the car when they reached home.
The taxi made a turn and went back the way it came. The young man's face disappeared into the darkness.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed past the building's house and disappeared very quickly.
Wu Tong's heart turned cold and he chased after him. He saw a dim light shining through the window of the bungalow. The vulture-like figure of the building leader was projected on the glass.
Wu Tong turned around and walked back into the building in confusion.
Li Tong should be home by now, right?
He was afraid that something would happen to her, so he quickly took out his keys. Just as he was about to open the door, he realized that there was something black on the door. He reached out and touched it. It was sticky. He took his hand to his eyes and was so shocked that his heart began to beat rapidly again.
It was blood!
Wu Tong cried out in his heart and hurriedly opened the door.
He quickly opened the door and was about to walk in when a round shadow smashed towards his head…
The sun was gradually rising in the east, and there was still a cold air in the air. Zhong Shu walked out of the police station tiredly, looked back, and took out a cigarette to smoke.
He stayed at the police station for the whole night. He was worried about his son being alone at home, so he was anxious to rush home before dawn.
At this moment, there were only a few people walking lazily on the road. Looking at those people, Zhong Shu felt a chill all over his body. He kept feeling that everyone was staring at him intentionally.
Ten minutes later, Zhong Shu got out of the taxi.
The orange building was still shrouded in the morning fog, looming like an illusion.
Lou had grown up very early, standing at the door like a withered tree. His loose eyelids were piled up under his eyes, as if they were about to rot.
Zhong Shu always inadvertently revealed his fear of the building master. Perhaps it was his fear of that appearance, or perhaps it was his fear of that low bungalow.
He always felt that it was like a demon realm, not the human world.
Zhong Shu suddenly thought of something and took out the photo taken at the scene from his pocket. Although the man in black in the photo had rotted, his face could still be vaguely recognized.
"Do you know this person?" he asked.”
The building manager nodded. Suddenly, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, his eyes widened and he muttered to himself,"I don't know."
Zhong Shu was very surprised by Lou Chang's strange behavior and asked again,""Take a closer look. Is this person Shen Qisheng?”
The soft muscles on Lou Chang's face kept twitching as he said nervously,""No, I don't know him."
Manager Lou's strange behavior aroused Zhong Shu's suspicion. He looked at the photo and then looked at the wrinkles on Manager Lou's face. The blood vessels in Zhong Shu's temples jumped a few times, and he kept feeling uncomfortable.
He was afraid that if the manager smiled, dandruff would fall off his face.
Zhong Shu put away the photo, feeling very disappointed. Just as he was about to leave, the building manager suddenly sighed and called out to him.
Zhong Shu looked at him inexplicably, not knowing what he wanted to say.
"Show me the photo again!"”
Zhong Shu took out the photo and handed it to him.
"Yes, it seems to be that person called Shen Qisheng.”The manager looked around and finally came to a conclusion.
"It seems so?" Zhong Shu was not too satisfied with this conclusion.
"Because his face is a little rotten, I can't be sure if it's Shen Qisheng. After all, I've only seen him a few times.”
He had finally gained something. Zhong Shu felt more at ease and asked calmly,""What kind of person is Shen Qisheng?”
The manager looked at him in a daze, which made Zhong Shu a little confused. He saw the manager suddenly smile, and his mouth that had lost his teeth opened like a black hole.
An unpleasant smell came out of the manager's mouth. Zhong Shu took a step back in disgust and frowned."Is there anything else you want to say?"
"It's nothing." As the building manager spoke, his gray eyes kept rolling around. He muttered something and slowly walked back to the bungalow.
Zhong Shu put away the photo and looked at Lou Chang's back. His heart was still full of doubts. When he entered the building, he suddenly stopped.
A red handprint appeared on Wu Tong's door again. It looked like a picture of a monster.
Zhong Shu was staring at it when the door suddenly opened, giving him a fright. Then he saw Wu Tong come out.
"Officer Zhong, you're finally back!" Wu Tong said in panic.”
"Is there something you need from me?" Zhong Shu realized that Wu Tong's head was wrapped in gauze.
Before he could ask, Wu Tong said excitedly,"I know, the building master is a ghost!”
"Li Tong mistakenly thought that I was the building manager who broke into the room. As a result, when I returned home, my head was injured by a vase.”Wu Tong told Zhong Shu everything that had happened last night. As he spoke, he subconsciously rubbed the gauze on his head. It was bright red, and he did not know if it was blood or red medicine.
Zhong Shu remembered the red handprint on the door and asked in confusion,""Was the handprint on the door made by the director?”
"I don't know either, but according to her analysis, it should be him."”
Li Tong hung up the phone, feeling really angry.
When she reached home, the taxi's headlights swept across the corner, making her heart tighten. She saw a face through the window of the bungalow. It was the old man's annoying old face.
The face disappeared into the darkness as the headlights turned.
Li Tong hurriedly walked past the bungalow. When the comfortable light illuminated the entire room, she felt a trace of safety.
All of a sudden, she felt dizzy. All kinds of noises in the supermarket were still buzzing in her ears.
She threw herself onto the soft mattress and turned on the television to watch. After watching for less than ten minutes, she turned around and felt a strange sound coming from outside the room.
Was it a rat?
She remembered that when Wu Tong suspected that there were rats in the house, she was terrified for a few days. She felt that those furry animals were very scary, especially those small eyes that always emitted greedy gazes.
Perhaps it was an underground ghost?
As she thought about it, she really heard an unknown sound coming from underground.
Li Tong recalled that she had once been afraid of the sounds underground, but now she seemed to have become accustomed to it.
However, when she focused her attention on the television again, a loud thud outside the room made her hands tremble unconsciously.
Li Tong opened her eyes wide. The voice definitely did not come from underground, but from the living room.
"Wu Tong?" She called out, but suddenly realized that he was not home yet.
Li Tong stood up and walked to the door. Her delicate hands kept groping around the wall. She did not dare to go in and turn on the lights. She was afraid that something strange was waiting for her in the dark.
The lights finally lit up. She walked in and looked around in confusion. When the strange sound rang out again, she suddenly turned her head and stared at the bathroom.
Li Tong felt uncomfortable when she thought of the big mirror inside, but she still walked over and quickly opened the door.
Something rolled out of the bathroom as the door opened. After touching her feet, it rolled to the side.
At that moment, Li Tong couldn't help but scream as she looked at the spherical object in fear.
It was actually a human head!
Li Tong could only see her messy hair and not her face.
Suddenly, the still head moved restlessly and rolled on the ground as if it had come to life. Its face suddenly turned around.
"Ah!" Li Tong screamed again and ran to the door, her body slamming into the door.
She wanted to go out, but she couldn't open the door no matter what. Just as she was at a loss, she heard someone walking towards her.
Was it Wu Tong?
She kept touching her chest with both hands, but the head was blocked by the sofa and could not be seen for the time being.
She looked through the peephole and her scalp instantly went numb.
She saw an old man with a top hat on his head smiling at her.
Wasn't that the old man who lived in the bungalow?
Could it be…that he was a specter?
This terrifying thought made Li Tong's mind go blank in an instant, and cold sweat broke out.
The footsteps were getting closer.
Li Tong calmed herself down and hurriedly found a white porcelain vase from the bedroom and hugged it tightly in her arms.
The door lock made a sound, and he could feel the anxious mood of the people outside.
Li Tong stood in front of the door with her eyes wide open. She gripped the vase tightly with both hands and was in a defensive posture.
The door opened and a person walked in.
Li Tong felt that her hands were not listening to her. The vase in her hand seemed to come alive. She could not help but smash it at the person's head.
After Li Tong left for work, the room was empty, which made Wu Tong feel that the room was filled with a strange atmosphere.
The terrifying scene from last night still appeared in front of him from time to time. He couldn't help but recall what happened last night
When his hand touched the sticky liquid on the door, he had a bad feeling, so when he opened the door and a gust of wind blew over his head, it proved his thoughts. He only felt his vision go black and there was a salty taste in his mouth.
He knew that he was bleeding.
"Ah, Wu Tong, why is it you?”When Li Tong realized that the person she hit was Wu Tong, she hurriedly threw the vase away and went forward to check on Wu Tong's injuries. The vase shattered with a bang.
Wu Tong endured the pain in his head and covered the wound on his forehead with one hand." Are you okay?”
" I'm fine. I thought you were the head of the building, so I…" Li Tong was so anxious that she was about to cry. She regretted her recklessness.
"What's wrong with Lou Chang?" Wu Tong did not care about his injuries at all.
"The building master is a ghost! Let's not talk about this for now. I'll send you to the clinic.”
Fortunately, there was a private clinic not far from home. Wu Tong only suffered a superficial wound. He was fine after a few stitches and bandaging.
On the way home, Li Tong felt sorry for him, but Wu Tong comforted her.
"It's okay. This injury is nothing to me. As long as you're safe and sound, it's fine.”
Li Tong's heart warmed, and tears almost flowed out of her eyes.
When he got home, Li Tong told him what had happened, especially the head that had rolled out of the bathroom. When she finished, her entire body was still trembling in fear.
Wu Tong felt very strange. When he came back, he did not see the manager in the corridor.
"I'll go take a look."
Wu Tong shuddered at the thought of the head still in the room. He mustered up his courage and went to the bathroom. Li Tong followed behind him, trembling with fear.
Sure enough, there was a head on the ground facing him. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt his scalp go numb when he saw such a terrifying scene. His entire body felt as if it had been doused with cold water.
He boldly walked over, but found that there was something wrong with this head. He used his foot to poke it, and found that it was only a model.
"This is a human head model." Wu Tong heaved a sigh of relief.
Li Tong looked at him and carefully walked forward. She took a closer look. It was indeed a fake head, very similar to the model she used to learn hairdressing.
She was scared and angry. She kicked hard with her foot, but the model head only rolled a few times. Its face was facing them again, and it always had that sinister smile on its face.
"No!" Li Tong suddenly shouted.
Wu Tong was shocked and asked anxiously,"What's wrong?"
"It was clearly a human head with a face full of blood just now, and this human head's face was very clean. It wasn't this human head!”
Li Tong's scream echoed in the room, causing Wu Tong to feel a bone-chilling chill.
"Could it be that you remembered wrongly?" Wu Tong asked in a trembling voice.
"It can't be wrong. I remember it clearly!”
Their breathing became heavier and heavier.
Wu Tong finally said,"I don't care. Let's throw this thing away first."”
Before throwing it away, Wu Tong asked again,""You said it rolled out of the bathroom?”
Li Tong nodded nervously, unable to speak.
Wu Tong opened the bathroom door, but he couldn't see anything strange about it.
He stood up dejectedly and glanced at the mirror. It was probably because the mirror was not very flat. He saw that his reflection in the mirror was a little distorted and he almost could not recognize himself.
Wu Tong asked Li Tong to find a plastic bag and threw the fake head inside.
Where should I throw this fake head?
Wu Tong remembered the fork in the road not far away, so he walked through the night to that place. Seeing that there was no one around, he threw the plastic bag into the grass.
When he turned around and walked back, he looked back for some reason. A gust of wind blew past, and the drooping branches were dancing in the wind.
Just now, he felt that there was someone there.
From time to time, the trees behind him rustled, as if someone was really whispering something.
Zhong Shukuang repeatedly thought about the possibility that the building manager was a ghost. He walked around the building several times, his eyes always glancing at the turbid window of the bungalow, and he felt a chill in his heart.
Wu Tong had no reason to lie to him, but Zhong Shu always felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
On this day, Zhong Shu was standing in the kitchen and looking out of the window. He had just taken out a cigarette when he saw the manager walk out. He lowered his head in a daze and thought for a moment before walking towards the street. What surprised him was that the manager actually did not lock the door.
Zhong Shu hesitated for a moment, then walked out of the room to the bungalow.
He quickly walked into the bungalow. Everything was the same as it was when he first came here. A strange smell filled the air, making him feel nauseous.
Zhong Shu browsed through the room but did not find the black coat or hat. He was about to conduct a detailed search when he suddenly found a secret door beside the bed.
Under the cover of a pile of yellowed newspapers pasted on the wall, it was almost impossible to tell that it was a door.
The door led to the back of the house.
Zhong Shu was stunned. He thought of the few times when the ghost disappeared as soon as it left the building. He could not help but think that if the ghost hid behind the bungalow and then entered the room from here, it would disappear again and again.
Zhong Shu's thoughts were running wild when he heard someone coming over. He was afraid that the building manager would come back halfway, so he went out from the back door. Then, he quickly hid in a position where the person could not see him and leaned against the wall without moving.
The person who came was indeed the head of the building. After the door made a sound, everything returned to normal.
Zhong Shu took advantage of this opportunity to run out quickly and rush into the building like an arrow.
Today, Zhong Shu decided to pick up his son. He was very worried that something would happen to his son when he went home alone.
Zhong Qiang seemed particularly happy, and his mouth kept talking about all kinds of interesting things that happened in school.
"Shen He told me today that his father has returned home.”Zhong Qiang said as he sat on the back seat of the motorcycle.
"His father? Isn't his father coming home?"
"Yes, his father always lives alone somewhere else and rarely comes home.”
Zhong Shu thought to himself, This is really a strange father. Which father in the world doesn't want to live with his children? Moving out to live alone was unbelievable.
"What does his father do?"
"Big Boss, you've built many buildings.”Zhong Qiang sounded a little envious.
"Oh." Zhong Shu felt a little depressed. He felt that he had let his son down.
Zhong Qiang's next sentence made Zhong Shu's heart skip a beat.
"He said that the building we live in was built by his father.”
"What's his father's name?" Zhong Shu asked hurriedly.”
"I don't know."
Zhong Shu recalled that his son had said that his classmate was called Shen He. For some reason, it reminded him of Shen Qisheng.#
