Chapter 021
"Brother, you don't know. I hesitated for a long time before opening the medicine bottle. The thought of that cat-like shadow made me scared.
Unexpectedly, when I opened it, I saw that the shadow did not come out, but it was even more scary inside. They were full of cat eyes, some of which were fresh and bloody.
But most of them were dried, and in many of them there was only smelly water left.
If nothing else, just count the bottles, one cat in each bottle, how many cats has this guy killed?
besides......"
Zhai Guan lowered his voice mysteriously: "I didn't see clearly what he finally dug out of the soil, but then I thought about it, and it looked a bit like human bones. So thick and long, you said, it's a cat's
The bones can’t be that big.”
Looking at Zhai Guan's gestures, I nodded slightly.
It's not that I believe Zhai Guan's words, but I think Chen Er is looking for the bones, or the bones of his own relatives.
Using blood as a guide is the most common way to find the bones of relatives.
Now I finally understand what Chen Er is doing.
Although he looked different, it was obvious that he was looking for the bones of his relatives.
But why are the bones buried in the garden of an abandoned community?
If he was killed, wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to call the police and search the whole place than it is now?
Zhai Guan, who was full of complaints, quickly got drunk. I sent him back to the small hotel and went back to prepare for a rest.
When I glanced at the closet, I was slightly stunned.
Because I had to burn incense to worship Liu Jie, my wardrobe was never closed.
Now, the closet is tightly closed.
I hurriedly walked over and opened the closet.
Without fresh air, the incense burned before going to bed would go out before it was completely burned.
"Oops."
I turned around to get the incense. Just as I took out the incense and before I could light it, the 12 o'clock bell sounded outside the window.
He raised his head with an ugly expression. The remaining incense in the incense burner seemed to have been corroded by something. Starting from the place where it was extinguished, it turned into a black greasy liquid and slowly flowed down the incense stick.
In just a few seconds, all three broken incense sticks turned into foul-smelling black pus.
The cold wind carrying the smell blew out from the closed wardrobe, and Liu Jie's memorial tablet kept shaking in the wind, as if it was about to fall down in the next moment.
Without any time to think, I put my index and middle fingers together and held the newly picked incense across it. The green incense ash was stained on my fingers, and with a strong wave of my hand, it covered the tablet.
The floating green incense ash became very heavy and fell directly on the tablet without being affected by the cold wind.
The swaying memorial tablet was frozen for the moment when it was stained with incense ash, and even the partition of the wardrobe was bent, making an overwhelming rattling sound.
I took the incense and lit it again. After praying three times in a row, I inserted the incense into the incense burner.
The incense did not break, the strange smoke drifting downwards dried up all the black pus, and then returned to normal.
Seeing this scene, I didn't feel any relief.
Someone has entered my room.
When I was a child, I once forgot to burn incense out of fun. I remember that time, my grandfather almost fell down from exhaustion before he calmed Liu Jie down.
This time, I was prepared to comfort Liu Jie even if I lost half my life.
But now, Liu Jie stopped taking such a simple action, which can only show that the problem this time was not caused by me.
As the saying goes, every wrong has its own owner, and every debt has its own owner. Many times, because of obsession, ghosts are more reasonable than people.
"landlord?"
I guessed, but quickly shook my head in denial.
The landlord only behaved abnormally when it came to Chen Er, but at other times, he was still the same tough tenant.
If she had seen the memorial tablet in my room, she would have been waiting at the gate.
"If it wasn't her, who else could it be?"
I thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a goal, and I felt a little anxious.
Ghosts are reasonable, but they also have a strong desire for revenge. If you cut off the ghost's incense, the ghost will never let that person go.
However, what I didn't expect was that everything was normal in the apartment until dawn.
Not to mention people, even cats were tortured and killed.
I was confused for a moment. Could it be that Liu Jie was influenced by me and became kind?
The next day, as soon as it dawned, I wandered around the apartment, proactively greeting every remaining neighbor, and in the midst of small talk, I brought the topic back to last night.
But no one heard strange sounds or saw strange things.
Could it be that the person who sneaked into my room was not someone from the apartment, but a thief from outside?
If that's the case, I can only mourn for him. I don't know who it is, and I can't save him even if I want to.
Just like that, it's lunch time.
There is no kitchen in the apartment. In the past, the apartment provided a buffet for tenants. Since the number of people has decreased, it is no longer provided. Every meal time, everyone can only go out to eat.
Although I had lived there for a while, I was not familiar enough with the surrounding area, and I didn’t go far, so I ordered a bowl of noodles from a small restaurant a few hundred meters away.
While eating, I used my mobile phone to check the abandoned community that Zhai Guan mentioned.
There is a lot of information about abandoned communities on the Internet, but it is all from 10 years ago. All the information has not been updated since October 10 years ago, even the rental information.
It was as if something happened one day in October 10 years ago, erasing everything about the community.
This makes me very confused. Generally speaking, even if there is an accident in the community, there will be a lot of selling information.
What was the reason that caused the residents there to abandon their houses at the same time?
You know, houses in Xinhai are not cheap.
After thinking about it, I picked up the bowl and walked up to the shop owner: "Boss, add some chili pepper. By the way, boss, do you know Mingzhu Community?"
The boss just agreed with a smile, but when he heard about Mingzhu Community, his expression froze: "Why do you ask?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just passed by and saw that it was empty. It felt quite a pity."
The shop owner put some chili pepper on the table for me, as if replying, but also saying to himself: "It's no shame, no one can live there."
"Dangerous house?"
“It’s scarier than a dilapidated house.”
I still wanted to ask, but the store owner didn't want to say a word, waved his hand and said, "If you don't mention that, it's unlucky not to mention that."
It's unlucky. There must have been a murder, and it was a very serious murder.
After all, even in big cities, people are still very taboo about places where dead people live. Before I came here, I heard that there are people here who specialize in selling haunted houses, which are about half the price of ordinary houses.
Thinking of the haunted house, an idea flashed in my mind.
Soon, I found Xinhai Haunted House website on my mobile phone.
This is a website that specializes in selling haunted houses. I thought it was a small website, but I didn’t expect it to be very formal. It even briefly described the owner’s cause of death, which gave it a different kind of honesty.
There are a lot of people up there, and many houses are marked for sale.
It seems that in the eyes of many people, poverty is more terrifying than ghosts.
I shook my head speechlessly and wrote the words Mingzhu Community in the search bar above the website.
