Chapter 6 Chapter 5: Visiting the Haunted House at Night (Part 1)

I don't know what the definition of a haunted house is, but I know it must meet at least four conditions.First, it takes a long time.The second is to be deserted and empty.The third is to die.The last thing is to have weird phenomena. Obviously this building has already met the previous three conditions.But the fourth, will it have one?There are no stars and no moon tonight, which is a very good day for climbing over the wall.Before ten o'clock, all the people gathered in front of this building without exception.I looked around for a while, and this building, which I had imagined dozens of times in my mind, was actually not old in shape, and even had a slightly western flavor.But it is because of this foreign smell that it looks weird in the dark night.

This house, which was seldom inhabited in the past two years, was vacated 7 months ago. The surrounding is quiet, and the lights of nearby buildings are also covered by billboards. The building is lonely, and the whole body exudes a dilapidated feeling. breath of death. After climbing over the wall, the iron fence door to the stairs was locked. "What should I do?" Shen Ke asked. "I can't get in, everyone might as well go home and sleep!" Zhang Lu, who was trembling with fear, suddenly became happy. When she saw me staring at her, she smiled mockingly at me, and kept doing it while laughing. A gesture of resignation.But when I laughed too, she got uneasy.I said lightly: "Have you ever heard of something? It is a very thin iron wire. If it is twisted to a certain extent, it can open many poorly crafted locks. I happened to meet at noon today. When it came to my cousin who was a criminal policeman nearby, it happened that he had the desire to become a master today, and then unfortunately I learned this technique."

"What a coincidence, you obviously planned it for a long time!" Zhang Lu shouted dissatisfied.I smiled at her, and took out the wire from my pocket to fiddle with it. "Wait, wait!" This time it was Wang Feng who yelled, and she said in surprise: "It's a crime for you to open the lock like this!" I turned my head very puzzled and asked: "For someone who stepped on my shoulder to climb over the wall first, does she still have a position to mention the word crime?" "This, these are two different things!" Wang Feng argued with a blushing face.

"And what about the front page of the school newspaper?" I said with a smile.At this time, only a 'click' was heard, and the fence door opened.There is no barrier to the dark staircase, and it stretches naked before our eyes.A chill suddenly penetrated my body for no reason, I shivered and looked up.The layout of the stairs turned out to be spiral.I am even more curious, who designed this building?Only then did I remember that the materials given to me by Shen Ke did not mention the designer, nor even the host.This is indeed a very illogical place for the detailed and somewhat eccentric survey data.

I went in and stepped up the steps.But the remaining four people dare not step in. "What? Are you scared?" I turned around and asked.Zhang Lu stared at me and said loudly, "Me? Of course I'm not afraid. I'm just thinking about whether to step in with my left foot or my right foot first." Shen Ke looked at me solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoye, do you feel that when you open the gate, this building begins to exude a strange atmosphere?" "Can you describe it in detail? I don't know what you mean." I asked puzzled. "It's just a feeling, I can't describe it." Shen Ke shook his head: "But I always feel that something is going to happen. This building seems to be different in some places!"

"Different?" I subconsciously looked around.The empty five-storey building was completely dissolved in the darkness of the night.The surroundings are silent, and even the grasshoppers that can often be heard in September have disappeared without a trace.Everything in this building is like a dead building with no signs of life at all. What is so different about it?I don't think I'm a rough-headed person, but I don't feel anything strange at all. "You are too sensitive." I frowned and urged, "Come in quickly, there are still many things to do tonight."

Dark and viscous filled the first layer.In the quiet night, the five of us moved gently.The dim orange flashlight shone nervously on the road under his feet.When I came to the first room, I followed the same pattern and opened the door with a wire.This is an ordinary layout of three bedrooms and one living room, and the room looks a little messy.Discarded newspapers were randomly thrown on the ground, everywhere. I carefully checked the rooms one by one, and even lay down on the ground to check carefully if I couldn't see clearly.I was disappointed, this is indeed a very ordinary house, although the decoration is a little high-end, but there is nothing strange about it.

Zhang Lu was the first to notice my weird behavior. She grabbed me and asked, "Yebuyu, you seem to be hiding something from us from the very beginning. Could it be that there is something valuable hidden here? Do you want to hide it here?" Find it out and swallow it up?" I smiled wryly: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would do that kind of thing?" Zhang Lu said disdainfully: "Who knows the mentality of you rich people. Maybe your family got rich by doing such immoral things often!" I glared at her hard, but I couldn't explain it.Since ancient times, the rich have climbed up by stepping on the heads of the poor. Which rich person does not do immoral things?Maybe my father really did such an unconscionable thing.I hummed weakly: "I think it's you who are most likely to do it. You are forcing this kind of thing on the innocent me, maybe you are trying to cover up that you think so all day long!"

She smiled sweetly: "Hehe, I'm so powerless to tell the truth. It seems that you really have ghosts in your heart." "Ha, you husband and wife should stop talking about cross talk on your own." Xu Lu said with a grin, "Don't forget that we are still here!" Zhang Lu immediately blushed and shouted: "Smelly Xiaolu, who is married to that bastard? I would rather marry a pig and a dog than this pedantic and sour guy!" What, I'm not Salted vegetables! "But you guys always seem to be in a good relationship!" Xu Lu smiled and pointed at us.

Zhang Lu pursed her mouth and threatened, "Your eyes are the problem! Xiaolu, if you say that again, I'll 'accidentally' shake it out!" "No!" Xu Lu blushed immediately, she looked at someone carefully, and said in surrender, "Yes, yes. How could our kind, charming, pure, and intelligent Miss Zhang Lu be able to keep silent about this scoundrel all night long?" Well. It’s true that I’m old and dim-sighted, look away!” "Hey... I'm still here. I even said such words!" I covered my head angrily. Wang Feng and others laughed.Shen Ke held back his smile bitterly and asked: "Then what are you looking for? Could it be that the former residents really left behind treasures or something?"

"How do your brains work? You're thinking about these cheap things!" I stared at these four guys with a big head. "It's more exciting to think like this. Xiao Ye, you are too old-fashioned!" Wang Feng laughed. "Forget it, I'll reveal the answer." Facing these unknown guys sometimes really makes me very tired.I slowly took a breath and said: "I read the materials more than a dozen times today, and I found a very interesting place. According to the data, this five-story building has six houses on each floor. There are 30 houses in total. And every room without exception is the same three-bedroom and one-living room. But the strange thing is not here. Do you remember how many people died here? Hey, it is 137. So logically speaking, each There should be more than 4 deaths in each house. No matter how lucky you are, you should be one in 137. But take a look at the statistical table I listed!" I took out a piece of paper and put it in the flashlight Light so they can see clearly. Shen Ke and the others immediately turned pale.Zhang Lu's voice trembled with fear: "This...no, it's impossible!" "But the fact is like this!" I waved my arms excitedly: "There are 25 rooms in this building, but no one died. All the people died concentrated in the first room on each floor. These 137 people , everyone is!" There was a silence. "It's scary, me, let's go out!" Xu Lu gently tugged on Shen Ke's sleeve.Almost everyone, except me, agreed with her proposal at the same time. "But don't you think this is funny?" I stopped them from laughing.I don't know why, but I didn't feel any fear at all.Curiosity stirred strongly in his mind, and even formed a hysterical obsession.Looking back a long time later, I realized how strange I am now.Is this kind of curiosity that completely ignores other people's feelings really me? "What's so interesting?" Zhang Lu said angrily. "Anyway, we've come, let's find out the difference between these five rooms and other rooms. Maybe there will be some unexpected discoveries. Haha, although it may not be possible to find the treasure, but at least not It will be the headline of the school newspaper.” I looked at the fluorescent watch half-threateningly and said, “It’s already a quarter past ten, and it’s a waste of time to search together. I suggest that we divide into two groups, and Zhang Lu and I search for the first and second floors. Shen Ke, Wang Feng and Xu Lu searched for the fourth and fifth floors, and then everyone gathered to search the third floor. Do you have any opinions?" Although the four of them were somewhat dissatisfied with my assertiveness, they still gave in under the front page of the school newspaper.In this way, the five of us parted ways at the top of the stairs.Zhang Lu and I stepped into the deep darkness of the first layer. It's a pity that what we don't know is that Shen Ke's feeling is actually right.Something has definitely changed in this building.Or it can be said that something long dormant has awakened. The night went on, with silence and deathly blackness.The soft footsteps of five people echoed throughout the building.But no one clearly knows that every step forward is a death beyond redemption!
