Wu Tong didn't want to stay at home all day like he used to. When he saw Li Tong's parents 'anxious expressions, his heart began to bleed.
Horrifying incidents occurred one after another, causing the already lifeless building to become even more deserted. Even the birds were unwilling to stay here any longer.
Standing on the street, Wu Tong was at a loss, not knowing where he was going.
He suddenly thought of the dream and felt that the place in the dream must have really existed. He must have seen it somewhere, but he had forgotten it later.
Wu Tong felt like he was going crazy. How could he believe in dreams?
When he stopped again, Wu Tong was surprised to find that he was at the entrance of the fork. The narrow path was winding into the distance and was swallowed by weeds.
Wu Tong calmed himself down and walked in. He gradually disappeared without a trace, as if he could no longer turn back.
When he stopped again, he found that he was already out of the city's boundaries, surrounded by a large area of wasteland that was waiting to be developed.
He panicked and looked into the distance, but he could not see anything clearly.
The place in the dream was also desolate.
Wu Tong consoled himself, and his entire body was immediately filled with energy. He turned around and looked. Because they were going downhill, the building was very far away from here. He could only see the roof.
He gritted his teeth and continued walking forward.
At this moment, something on the right attracted his attention.
It was a very tall warehouse, a brick-tiled house from the early days. The red pattern seemed to be grinning at him.
Wu Tong's eyes were filled with excitement.
That's right! He had found it. This was the place in his dream.
He quickly walked towards the warehouse, his heart full of hope, as if he had already seen Li Tong's expectant gaze.
Wu Tong finally arrived at the entrance of the warehouse. He could not help but stop in his tracks. He was greeted by a wave of stench.
He wondered if he had come to the wrong place.
Wu Tong stood at the door. It was as dark as a deep pool of water. He did not see any windows outside the warehouse. No wonder it was so dark inside.
What could be inside?
When he first discovered this place, Wu Tong's heart was filled with excitement. However, when he was actually standing only a step away from Li Tong, his heart was filled with fear.
After hesitating for a long time, Wu Tong walked in. As soon as he took a step, a group of black flies rushed up like a bomber. A few of them stopped on his face. He waved them away in disgust and walked in carefully.
The stench was like a plague that lingered around him. He had probably been under the sun for too long, so his eyes could not adapt to the darkness for a moment and could not see what was inside.
"Little Tong." he shouted.
The scene in the warehouse slowly appeared. Other than some dry grass, there was some dirty trash and even a few dead animals.
Wu Tong was walking when he suddenly heard a creaking sound under his feet. He jumped away in fear, and his body immediately broke out in cold sweat. He turned around and saw that it was a withered branch that had been broken into two by him.
"Little Tong." He shouted again, but there was only his echo in the warehouse.
She was not here.
Wu Tong was disappointed and sad. He walked out dejectedly. Just as he took a few steps, he couldn't help but look back, as if he was reluctant to part.
Wu Tong turned around and saw Zhong Shu walking towards him. "How did you find this place?"
"If you can find it, I can naturally find it too.”Zhong Shu said with a smile.
"She's not here." Wu Tong said sadly and looked back again.
Zhong Shu patted him." It's okay. Don't think too much."”
"I found Guan Ting's body last night.”
"She's dead?" Wu Tong asked in horror.”
Zhong Shu nodded." He was strangled to death, but it was very strange."”
"What's strange?" Wu Tong asked impatiently.
Zhong Shu glanced at him." I found her body in the bungalow. At that time, I happened to see a shadow running up the stairs. When I chased after it, the person disappeared. Later, when I returned to the bungalow, I found her corpse under the bed.”
Wu Tong's expression was grave." Could it be that someone put the body in the short time you were upstairs?”
"That must be it." Zhong Shu suddenly looked at him." It's like it appeared out of nowhere.”
A gust of cold wind swept over. Wu Tong felt a chill run down his spine as he looked up at the sky.
It was cloudy.
"When was the last time you saw Guan Ting?”Zhong Shu asked.
The living room of the Guan family was still luxurious, but it could not hide the cold atmosphere. Wu Tong could not help but feel a trace of sadness.
The servant looked very nervous and said,"Four days ago."
"What was she doing before she disappeared?"
"I don't know, but she seemed to have changed into a different person in those few days. It was as if she had encountered something.”
"Do you know what it is?"
The servant shook her head helplessly.
Zhong Shu looked straight into the servant's eyes and asked coldly," Where's Emperor Fang Qing?"
She shook her head." I don't know. I haven't seen him in a long time.”
Zhong Shu and Wu Tong could only stand up and leave. Before they left, Zhong Shu looked back and saw the servant standing at the side, trembling with fear.
The strange blood-red pattern kept swaying in front of Wu Tong's eyes.
He slowly walked to the entrance of the warehouse. It was dark and bottomless inside. He walked in without hesitation. A cold and fishy smell assaulted his nose. This smell was so familiar. He suddenly remembered that his house was filled with this smell.
At this moment, a shadow slowly walked towards him. There was a ball of light behind him.
It was a woman. Her messy long hair covered her entire face, and only her pale and delicate chin was faintly discernible.
"Little Tong, is that you?" He called out softly.
The woman raised her head and parted her long hair.
He looked at her expectantly, but when he saw her face, he was so scared that his scalp went numb and all the hair on his body stood on end.
It was a dirty face, as if it had just crawled out of the toilet.
"Come here!" She said gloomily, a sinister smile suddenly appearing on her face.
So it was just a dream!
Wu Tong woke up from his dream once again. He panted heavily and couldn't help but feel puzzled by what he saw in his dream.
Who was that woman?
Although he saw the other party's face, he still could not tell who that person was.
At this moment, he heard a strange sound.
Because too many things had happened recently, Wu Tong was a little used to it. He quietly walked out of the room, circled the living room, and finally stared in the direction of the bathroom.
The voice came from there.
He immediately thought of the tall mirror and the mysterious world behind it.
Wu Tong mustered up his courage. As soon as he walked into the bathroom, the light dimmed. He turned his head and saw his blurry figure in the mirror. It was almost unlike him, as if he was facing a stranger.
He glanced into the mirror, pushed it aside, and went inside.
In the dark room, everything was still the same.
Wu Tong came to the living room and stared at the bump on the wall. He noticed something strange behind him. He turned around and saw the mahogany cabinet on the opposite wall. He frowned.
It was indeed a little strange to have such a cabinet placed against the wall in the living room.
He opened the closet door to take a look. There were only some clothes, and they looked very old.
Wu Tong pulled open the clothes and saw a dark brown wooden board with a straight crack in the middle. He pushed it open and the wooden board split from left to right.
Wu Tong was stunned. The scene in front of him made him somewhat at a loss.
As the wooden board was opened, a rotten smell rushed over, as if a cloth covered with dog shit was suddenly removed.
He opened his eyes wide and his breathing became rapid.
From the cabinet, he saw a dark entrance.
So there was a secret door here.
Wu Tong was very surprised by this discovery. He pulled the clothes that were in the way to the side and walked in. He felt as if he had been pushed into the mouth of a huge beast.
The smell of decay became stronger, as if many corpses were slowly rotting in the darkness.
There was a narrow compartment inside. The rancid smell made his throat very dry, making him almost cough loudly.
He tried his best to resist the urge to cough, not knowing what else was inside.
Inside was a bend to the right. It was very narrow and could only allow one person to enter and exit.
Wu Tong walked slowly for a few steps, and then a flight of stairs descended. A dim light shone from below. He opened his eyes in excitement and carefully walked down.
The stairs were covered in dust, and there were some messy footsteps, as if they were left behind on the flat snow.
Wu Tong stood still. He didn't know if he should continue walking. He was afraid of seeing a monster with a face full of blood, but there was a voice in his heart that kept urging him to continue walking.
Don't go down! he told himself, but his legs seemed to be going on without him.
It was a very large basement, and the light surrounded him like smoke. The incandescent light above his head seemed to have turned into a face, looking at the man who had dared to enter hell with an evil smile.
Wu Tong suddenly understood why there was a ghostly whisper every night.
There was a basement in the building, but the entrance was installed in a room full of mystery and fear.
Wu Tong walked into the Grand View Garden and watched everything carefully.
The basement was very simple. There was a simple bed with an old suitcase on it. There was also a table and a few broken chairs. There were also some miscellaneous things piled in the corner. He noticed a black bucket in the corner. He walked over and saw that it was a toilet.
Wu Tong came to a sudden realization. No wonder this place was always so smelly.
Suddenly, he heard someone slowly walking down from upstairs. That person seemed to be very hesitant, and the footsteps did not come down for a long time.
A dangerous message appeared in the air.
Wu Tong's forehead was covered in sweat. He didn't know who would come.
The man came down. Through the light, he saw a long and twisted shadow cast by the stairs, flowing like black blood on the ground.
Wu Tong hurriedly crawled under the bed and stared at the ground with his eyes wide open.
As the voice approached, he saw a pair of black leather shoes. The shoes slowly walked in and then stopped.
Wu Tong felt his breathing quicken, and the air seemed to have become thinner.
The pair of shoes gradually turned in his direction, indicating that the person was looking in this direction.
Perhaps he had already been discovered by this ghost.
Just as he was about to break down, he heard someone walk in from the first floor.
Wu Tong was surprised to find that he could hear the sounds from upstairs so clearly in this basement.
He heard a whisper and turned to look at the door.
Another pair of shiny leather shoes came in. After that person came in, he said,"We finally meet."
Wu Tong lay under the bed and did not dare to move. Later, he realized that his entire body was drenched in sweat.
Wu Tong thought that there were two ghosts, and he had completely lost the courage to survive in the desperate situation in the basement. However, just as he was in despair, the person who came in later started fighting with the person who came in earlier.
He didn't know what he should do, whether he should escape while they were fighting, he thought, as long as he quickly got out and ran up the steps.
Just as he was hesitating, the winner of the fight had been decided. One of the men fell heavily, his hat rolling to the side, and the man's face was facing him.
It was a pale, bloodless face without any eyebrows.
He seemed to have seen this face somewhere before, but he could not remember.
That person also saw Wu Tong under the bed and widened his eyes at him. His eyes were so exaggerated that they almost jumped out of his eye sockets.
Wu Tong felt a chill in his heart. He finally remembered that he had seen this face in the hallucination on the street.
"Don't move. Be obedient."
There was a metallic sound. The hands of the person who fell to the ground were twisted behind his back by a strong hand, and then a pair of bright handcuffs were put on his wrists.
Wu Tong was shocked. He mustered up his courage and came out. He saw Zhong Shu at a glance.
"So it wasn't Spectre who took us out that day, it was you!”
After Li Tong returned safely from the police station and found out the truth, she couldn't help but joke with Zhong Shu.
The car she had gotten into that day was a police car.
"I could have arrested him the first time, but I didn't expect him to escape.”Zhong Shu smiled helplessly, but he was also a little relieved. Fortunately, the murderer had been arrested.
Wu Tong immediately remembered the two shadows that he saw coming out of Room 1 that night. It turned out that Zhong Shu was the person behind him.
"I really didn't expect you to be there.”Zhong Shu smiled, looked at Wu Tong, and put another cigarette into his mouth.
"How did you find the basement?" Wu Tong asked in confusion.”
"When I went to scout with you, I felt that the cabinet was very strange. It was just that I didn't say it out loud at that time, so I thought of a plan, which was to sneak in.”
"Is that why you dressed up as a man in black?”
Zhong Shu smiled and nodded, then exhaled a mouthful of smoke. His eyes were less sharp, and he looked much friendlier.
"What happened to Guan Ting's body that was found in the bungalow?”Wu Tong asked in confusion.
Zhong Shu took a puff of his cigarette and continued,"It was all Shen Qiming's doing."”
"Shen Qiming?" Wu Tong's mind seemed to have been struck by lightning. He remembered the family portrait he saw in the photo frame in Shen Qisheng's hometown that rainy night. At that time, Father Shen had said that they had a son. "Didn't his father say that Shen Qiming was dead?”
"We pulled up the file. That was more than three years ago. There was a car accident on the street. The deceased was wearing a gray suit and his head was smashed. The police searched the body of the deceased but could not find anything that could prove his identity. Later, a man said that he knew that person. It was his friend, Shen Qiming, whose hometown was in another city. At that time, the police did not think too much about it. After the driver was fined, the matter was settled and the body was transported back to the Shen family's hometown. According to witnesses, Shen Qiming saw the car and crashed into it. He was responsible.”
Wu Tong was confused." Then how did the murderer become Shen Qiming?"”
Zhong Shu exhaled a mouthful of smoke. The smoke gradually dispersed above his head and kept transforming into various strange shapes.
"Because he didn't die at all. The victim was just dressed like Shen Qiming. It seems that his friend made a false confession because Shen Qiming is a wanted criminal.”
"Wanted criminal?" Wu Tong shouted in surprise.
Zhong Shu nodded." He killed a woman. I heard that the woman was his girlfriend. The two of them had an argument over a small matter, and he accidentally killed his girlfriend. Later, when the police saw that he was hit by a car, the case was considered closed. Shen Qiming had gone for plastic surgery, which was why he looked like this.”
" Why did he kidnap Fang Lin?"
"Because the Fang family is very rich. He wants to extort money.”
"Then why did he kill Yu Jie?”
"He doesn't know how Yu Jie found the mysterious Room No. 1 either. According to our analysis, it's very likely that Yu Jie discovered him when he took Fang Lin away. She then followed him here. Shen Qiming killed her to prevent the matter from being exposed. Since he could not dispose of her body, he had to bury her in the wall. This also explained why he kept hearing someone knocking. I think Shen Qiming must have dug up the wall to bury the body.”
"Then how did Shen Qisheng die? Did he kill his own brother?”
"Shen Qiming confessed why Shen Qisheng built such a basement under Room 1. When he escaped, Shen Qisheng was building a building and found out that he had accidentally killed someone. After all, they were brothers. Afraid that he would be discovered, they gave the workers a lot of money to shut them up. Then, they took the liberty to leave a basement in Room 1. The exit was in the room. They wanted Shen Qiming to stay in it first and come out after the commotion died down. However, it was very boring to stay in the basement all the time. Shen Qiming sneaked out and was discovered by Shen Qisheng. He scolded him and then did not go home every day to watch over his brother.”Zhong Shu took another puff.
"Later, Shen Qiming realized that he had already undergone plastic surgery and that he was already dead, so he didn't want to live like a ghost in the basement anymore. However, Shen Qisheng did not allow him to do that. He thought that although he had plastic surgery, his original appearance would still be seen if one looked closely. The two of them could not argue, so Shen Qiming killed his own brother.”
Li Tong trembled as she listened to Wu Tong's words. She snuggled into Wu Tong's arms. She didn't understand how such a vicious person could exist in this world.
Wu Tong's scalp went numb when he heard that. He asked again,"What about the Dark Clan?”
" Shen Qiming was considering his future life to prevent people from living here again. He started to build a secret door so that once someone found out about his whereabouts, he could put on a show of disappearing from the room. That's why he disguised himself as a ghost to scare people. It's really a cunning rabbit with three burrows.”Zhong Shu smiled.
Wu Tong didn't continue asking. Li Tong was kidnapped because she wanted them to move out as soon as possible.
"Do you know who the director is?" Zhong Shu asked. He is Old Hu."
Wu Tong's eyes widened. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere before. He suddenly remembered that the landlord had told him about it. At that time, the landlord had told them to be careful of Old Hu.
"Shen Qiming doesn't know much about him either. He only heard Shen Qisheng mention him a few times. The old man had no children, and Shen Qisheng took pity on him, so he made him the head of the building. There was just one thing that was very strange. Why did he tell me that the person who lived in that room was called Shen Qisheng that day? Perhaps he found out that the real Shen Qisheng was already dead. As for why he also had that set of black clothes, it must be to confuse the public. Shen Qisheng was also dressed in black like his brother. He had put it on under Shen Qiming's bewitchment.”
"What bewitchment?"
Zhong Shu stared at Wu Tong." Scaring off everyone in the building will give Shen Qiming more freedom to move around. That's why the building master made up stories about the dead being able to come back to life to increase the atmosphere of terror.”
Wu Tong heaved a sigh of relief, but there were still some things that he was not clear about." How did Lou Chang die?”
"He was killed because he discovered Shen Qiming's secret. Guan Ting was also killed by Shen Qiming because she found out that her son was kidnapped by him.”
Zhong Shu felt uneasy when he told Shen Qiming everything. Although Shen Qiming had confessed everything, there was still something wrong.
As Shen Qiming's trial progressed, Zhong Shu's uneasiness grew. He did not know what was still unclear.#
