In Unit 4.
Wang Jinzhang and Wu Yan entered the hall on the first floor one after another.
To the former's surprise, from the appearance of the building, this building was very new. It should have been built not too long ago.
However, the scene they saw after entering was very different.
Everything around him looked very old, as if someone had pressed a time acceleration button in the building.
Water droplets often dripped from the ceiling that had been in disrepair for a long time.
In serious areas, there were even large areas of water stains, and there was even moss growing in them.
The water droplets fell to the ground, and the sound that should have been inaudible seemed to have been amplified, sounding a little ear-piercing in the silent building.
The surrounding walls were already mottled.
The paint on the wall in the corner had peeled off, and the originally white wall was now covered in red, black, and yellow stains, making it look extremely dirty.
Many of the tiles on the floor had cracks, and insects crawled out from time to time.
After seeing them, they quickly fled in all directions.
In addition, there were countless small advertisements posted everywhere.
It was overwhelming, and the mess brought with it a suffocating sense of oppression.
In the air, there was a faint rotten smell that made people feel very uncomfortable.
Wang Jinzhang frowned and kept scanning his surroundings, guarding against possible danger.
Wu Yan hid behind him like a frightened little animal.
"According to Zhou Cheng's experience, in Unit 4, you can't take the elevator from the first to the third floor, and you can't take the stairs from the third to the fifth floor.”
Wang Jinzhang carefully recalled Zhou Cheng's words and thought about how to use Wu Yan to verify these words.
Ever since he entered the building, the drowsiness in his head seemed to have dissipated a lot.
The inexplicable feelings he had for Wu Yan had also subsided.
Right now, he felt as if he had suddenly woken up.
"Wu Yan, we've seen enough of the first floor. Let's go upstairs.”
Wang Jinzhang said to Wu Yan.
After hearing the other party's soft reply, he deliberately led her towards the stairs.
In his opinion, elevators appeared too often in horror movies and novels, causing most people to have a fear of them.
If Wu Yan took the elevator directly, it would easily arouse her suspicion.
Therefore, he planned to bring Wu Yan to the third floor first to verify that the stairs were not allowed from the third floor to the fifth floor.
"Zhou Cheng said that we can't take the elevator in Unit 4, so we have to take the stairs to go up and down.”
Wang Jinzhang explained as he walked.
On the way, he would turn back from time to time to check on Wu Yan's situation.
However, she was no longer as delicate as before. She lowered her head and followed him closely.
Her drooping hair covered most of her face, so Wang Jinzhang couldn't see her expression at all.
If he didn't know that she was definitely alive, Wang Jinzhang would even think that she was a puppet controlled by someone.
"Are you alright?"
Wang Jinzhang, who felt that it was a little strange, could not help but ask. He received the answer that Wu Yan was fine.
Seeing this, Wang Jinzhang didn't ask any more questions to avoid giving himself away.
"Maybe she was just scared by the environment in the building.”
Wang Jinzhang found a reason to comfort himself.
Soon, they arrived at the third floor.
"Zhou Cheng said that the third and fourth floors have the least number of malicious ghosts, so let's each take charge of one floor.”
"Which floor do you want to go to?"
Wang Jinzhang took out the resident opinion collection form and began to implement the plan to let Wu Yan take the stairs to the fourth floor.
"I'm fine with anything."
Wu Yan still lowered her head and replied softly.
"Then I'll take two more steps to the fourth floor. You stay on the third floor.”
Wang Jinzhang did the opposite. He pretended that he was going to the fourth floor. His goal was to trick Wu Yan, who was definitely still suspicious of what he had said.
Just as he expected, Wu Yan shook her head, indicating that she should take two more steps to the fourth floor.
Seeing this, Wang Jinzhang spread his hands, indicating that it was fine. Anyway, he was really fine with it.
"Since we are moving separately, we must be careful.”
Wu Yan, who had chosen the fourth floor, walked up the stairs with her head lowered. Halfway up, she suddenly turned around and said to Wang Jinzhang with concern.
This sentence made Wang Jinzhang overjoyed.
It was not because Wu Yan's words contained concern, but because she accidentally said a taboo word that could not be said in Unit 4,"split".
"Now we can verify the authenticity of the two pieces of information.”
Seeing Wu Yan's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, Wang Jinzhang was not in a hurry to collect the opinions of the residents on the third floor. Instead, he came to the railing and looked up.
He wanted to see if something would really happen to Wu Yan if she took the stairs from the third floor to the fifth floor.
In the end, there was none.
There was only the sound of Wu Yan walking upstairs, followed by the sound of knocking on the door.
Wang Jinzhang waited for a few more minutes, but he heard Wu Yan talking to a male voice.
"You took the stairs from the third floor to the fifth floor and even said the taboo word, are you okay?”
Wang Jinzhang thought to himself, and his expression changed.
In his opinion, the possibility of Zhou Cheng's experience being fake had increased by quite a bit.
"No, it might take a little longer. I'll wait.”
Thinking of this, Wang Jinzhang held a few resident opinion collection forms and sat down on the second last flight of stairs.
Upstairs, Wu Yan's conversation with the male voice continued.
Although he couldn't hear the content clearly, from Wu Yan's tone, it should be a good conversation.
As he listened, Wang Jinzhang felt inexplicably sleepy and yawned several times.
His hands began to hold his cheeks, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.
Suddenly, Wu Yan's voice seemed to be very close to him.
"Come, the light is green. Let's go forward. Hold my hand and don't separate.”
It was clearly a brainless sentence, but it seemed to have hypnotic power. Wang Jinzhang completely closed his eyes and lay down on the stairs from the third to the fourth floor.
She kept muttering what she had heard.
"The light is green. Let's go forward. I'll hold your hand and we won't separate.”
