Unlike the Ninth Mental Hospital and the Zaohu Village he had visited before, Bai Wu felt a chilly aura coming towards him when he walked into this apartment building.
The so-called horror and strange stories are nothing more than stories about ghosts, and the so-called ghosts are nothing more than the obsessions of the former tenants of the building, or the tenants themselves, who have become some difficult things under the distorted rules.
Bai Wu was quite adaptable, but the first floor of this apartment building was divided into twelve rooms, covering a very large area.
Among the twelve rooms, nine are single rooms for single travelers, and three are family rooms with three bedrooms and one living room for families.
The elevator stopped at the fifth floor, but the table next to it showed that the building had a total of fourteen floors.
This capacity made Bai Wu very satisfied, and he regarded himself as the landlord of this area.
Of course, before that he had to clean up the dirt in the area.
All kinds of information do not come from the eyes, but are marked on each room. When Bai Wu walked into the first floor of the apartment, the first thing he did was to visit every room.
Most of the information obtained is one.
The logic of extinction is picking random numbers, and you'd better go to one of the most fortified rooms, where you will find an interesting weirdo. Or not, they may be vying to find you!
Bai Wu immediately understood what the most reinforced house meant. After walking around, he found this house.
But the logic of this extinction is to pick random numbers, which Bai Wu is still unclear about.
This room is 1-9.
It is a single room, and it is called the most reinforced room because the door of this room has been replaced.
Most of the other rooms have comprehensive anti-theft doors, but the door of this room is red.
The door was unlocked, not because it was not locked, but because it was damaged.
The strange stories are actually in order. This is not the first strange story. When you find one of them, other strange stories may find you. You are about to get clues about the strange stories. Please pay close attention to every piece of information you see. I mean, every one, because all the strange stories in this building are actually related to each other.
The remarks don't mean much, Bai Wu has always paid close attention to them.
"Note: Since the clues to the strange story are mentioned to be hidden in this room, and there is no sign of any living person here... then it should be kept in paper documents."
The white mist began to search the room.
The room is very big. Although it is a single room, it has a small bathroom. The bathroom does not even have a shower, but a bathtub.
Bai Wu noticed one thing. Although the whole house was messy, as if someone had turned it over, there was almost no dust.
"Combined with Lin Rui's crisis premonition... it seems that this seemingly deserted building actually has some active elements."
The room was messy, but there was no dust. There had been no dust for seven hundred years, and this had nothing to do with environmental rules.
Bai Wu seemed to see a pervert rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find something, and this happened every day.
If every house is free of dust... does that mean that at this very moment there is a monster in every other house, searching for something
Bai Wu calmed down, held his breath, and tried to listen carefully. It was now four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still a few hours before night fell.
Bai Wu is no longer the same as before. He just wants to quickly locate the ghost story and then destroy it with the truth.
Instead of hiding, find all the clues and then convince the other party.
Times have changed, and he is probably scarier now than these weird stories.
But just as he was trying hard to sense something, the TV opposite the bed suddenly lit up.
It originally looked like a pitch-black box, as if it contained something taboo. It had been without power for many years, but it suddenly lit up and made a few crackling sounds.
Bai Wu heard a woman's laughter.
The sound was like melting dewdrops dripping onto one's neck; it instantly made one feel cold.
Unfortunately, when Bai Wu walked out of the bathroom, the TV was silent.
It became dark again.
There is nothing wrong with a TV that is not very high-definition. If there is a problem, it is that the programs received in the apartment are very limited.
Do you think I'm going to tell you the secret of why the TV suddenly makes a noise? Well, let me tell you, this is also a strange story, but its main body is not here. It's just a TV. What bad intentions can a small TV have? It's just a medium. The strange story greets you through it, saying - I'm watching you.
I'm watching you.
This sentence made Bai Wu feel uncomfortable. He looked around and found that there was nothing.
Then he looked up, but the moment he looked up, his cell phone rang.
Bai Wu's cell phone and the cell phone of the tenant seven hundred years ago rang at the same time when Bai Wu looked up.
Without looking at his own cell phone, he followed the sound and found the cell phone of the tenant from seven hundred years ago under the bed.
A small cell phone can have... well, a small cell phone has a lot of bad intentions. You will find two related messages in it. After "I'm watching you" found you, you have been found by another strange story "You are watching me".
Bai Wu doesn't understand the meaning of this riddle yet.
The style of the tenant's mobile phone is similar to most of Bai Wu's smartphones in his previous life, and the number of cameras on the back is getting more and more exaggerated.
Without any password, he opened the phone quickly, and there was no need to wonder why this thing was still working after seven hundred years.
It was not a caller ID, but a text message. Bai Wu took out his own cell phone and found that there was also a text message.
He opened both phones at the same time, and the text messages contained the same content.
"Night is coming, look up at the starry sky."
Very strange...
Bai Wu looked up. Although this action seemed to have triggered something, causing both phones to receive an unknown text message at the same time, he did not see the starry sky when he looked up.
It's only afternoon now, and it seems like there's still some time before night comes.
Even if you walk outside the apartment, you can't see any stars when you look up.
But this text message was very strange. Bai Wu’s phone only received this one message, but the tenant’s phone received a lot of messages seven hundred years ago.
Noon.
"It's a nice day today. Are you at home? Do you want to look up at the stars?"
Of course, you can't see the starry sky at noon. Bai Wu found that the owner of the phone had replied to the text message -
“I was eating in a restaurant and couldn’t see the stars.”
In the afternoon.
"Good afternoon, have you had your nap? Go out and move around, look up at the stars."
"I slept, but now I can't see the stars. Are you fucking sick? Are you blind? Can't you see for yourself?"
At night, the phone received another text message.
"You know what I'm going to say. Look up at the stars! Look up! Look up!"
"Who are you? Can I go out and see for myself? Please let me go and stop harassing me! I haven't done anything bad!"
This message, which seemed to be sent in a rather urgent or ferocious tone, was sent at night, around nine o'clock in the evening.
And the tenant seemed a little scared. But why
At midnight.
“Starry sky, look up, look up, look up, look up, look up, look up, look up, look up.”
no respond.
Bai Wu imagined a scene in his mind. The tone of the text message was as if someone was whispering in his ear, with his lips moving very quickly... repeating the words "look up" over and over again.
In the pictures he laid out intuitively, one can almost hear sounds.
Bai Wu always felt that his thinking was going in the wrong direction. Why should he look at the starry sky? He could never figure it out.
He decided to check out other messages first, because there were more than just text messages in this phone.
Soon Bai Wu found another strange story in the draft box of the memo.
When he opened the memo, Bai Wu finally understood what one of the six strange stories meant.
This memo is quite long.
"It's really weird, the elevator always stops at the 13th floor. I remember several times, I pressed the elevator button and pushed it to the first floor, but the elevator always stopped at the 13th floor.
I began to feel something was wrong, and I didn't know what I was taking so seriously. I was afraid of the number thirteen.
I asked other tenants living here what was on the 13th floor and whether there were any unclean creatures living there.
They left with blank expressions on their faces, refusing to respond to my questions at all! It seemed that as soon as it was 11pm, the elevator would be forced to go from other floors to the 13th floor. I got up early every day, so I could always see the elevator stop at the 13th floor.
"What on earth was on the thirteenth floor? I didn't dare to go up to see it, but I was very curious. Until one day, I finally saw someone press the elevator for the thirteenth floor!
I happily went over and asked: Dude, did anything happen on the 13th floor
The buddy shook his head and said, "Someone died on the 13th floor. I work at the funeral home. I received the call and went to check it out. Suddenly I realized that someone was dead. I seemed to have found the answer, but also seemed to have not found it…
The next day, the elevator finally worked properly. It finally stopped at the 13th floor. Every day before going to bed, I would press the elevator button to the first floor, but every time I got up early, it would stop at the 13th floor, as if it would return to the 13th floor as soon as no one was there. Today, it finally stopped at the first floor. "
After seeing all this, Bai Wu instantly thought that there must be something on the thirteenth floor.
But just when he was planning to go to the thirteenth floor next, he suddenly realized something was wrong!
Although there was no feeling of fear, Bai Wu's body still reacted at this moment.
"Someone died on the 13th floor. What does that have to do with the elevator always stopping on the 13th floor? And why did this tenant reinforce the door?"
"The logic of extinction is to pick random numbers. I get it... The first weird story is on the fifth floor!"
When Bai Wu entered the apartment building, he noticed that the elevator stopped on the fifth floor.
However, it can be seen in the tenant's memo that the elevator had been stopped at the 13th floor, and someone died on the 13th floor.
After the death, the tenant pressed the elevator back to the first floor, and the elevator was still on the first floor the next day. The tenant thought the elevator had returned to normal according to the memo.
In fact... the truth is that the elevator chose to stop on the thirteenth floor last time, and this time it chose to stop on the first floor.
"The tenants apparently realized this later! So they started to reinforce their doors! So the logic of extinction is to pick random numbers. This sentence is telling me... The location where the first ghost story stops is the same as the floor where the elevator automatically stops when there is no one, so now it is on the fifth floor!"
Bai Wu guessed correctly. The floor where the elevator automatically stopped when no one was there was the location of one of the six strange stories.
However, he didn't hear any sound and couldn't sense the other party.
"If it was only on the fifth floor, I would definitely be able to sense it. It seems that it should appear at a specific time, and the eyes suggest that the several strange stories are related."
The white fog calmed down, and most of the strange things happened at night.
So he didn't take the elevator. He decided to walk up all fourteen floors one by one.
The staircase to the first floor is just around the corner. The entire apartment has a shared laundry room with coin-operated washing machines.
Out of curiosity, Bai Wu went in to take a look and saw a notice posted on the wall of the laundry room.
"Missing person. My little girl is missing. If you see her, please contact me."
There was also a photo of the little girl on the notice, about seven or eight years old.
The police received a call, but after checking the surveillance footage, they found that the little girl had not left the apartment. A person certainly would not disappear without a reason. But no matter how hard they looked, they could not find the little girl.
Are there human traffickers hiding in the apartment? Of course, yes, but how do they hide people? You have to think about it carefully, after all, you have already encountered it.
The cold ghost aura seemed to become thicker instantly, and Bai Wu was slightly startled:
"I have come across three strange stories so far. I think they are strange TVs, strange text messages, and strange elevators."
"The little girl in the missing person notice is missing, but she has not been found. There are human traffickers living in the apartment. So how did the traffickers hide an eight-year-old girl?"
Bai Wu did not take down the missing person notice. The photo on the black and white printed missing person notice looked like a portrait of a dead person.
The little girl stared straight at the white mist.
Bai Wu, who was not afraid, didn't find all this creepy, so he continued to walk upstairs.
The second floor and the first floor of the apartment are one structure.
The time was now five o'clock in the afternoon.
Bai Wu used the notes given by his eyes to quickly browse through each room, and finally found some information at 2-9.
People always say that if you believe something, it exists, and if you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. But in fact, it is true that if you believe it, it exists, and once it becomes true, it will not disappear regardless of whether you choose to believe it or not.
This is undoubtedly another riddle, but it seems to be explaining some kind of rules.
Only in room 2-9 did the notes of the eyes change and gave this riddle, so Bai Wu decided to go in and take a look.
This is a broadcast studio.
It is a late-night radio station that plays some unpopular channels at home. If you tune into some very remote radio channels, you can hear the tenant from seven hundred years ago telling some ghost stories.
It can be considered as some comfort to some drivers who work late at night, or some listeners who like the supernatural.
There were many tapes in the room, most of them were white, but Bai Wu noticed that the tape next to the radio was red.
Gamers will record their own programs into tapes and keep them in their collections.
You see a red tape and a radio in front of you, waiting for you to turn it on. What bad intentions could a little radio have? I mean, it really doesn't have any bad intentions. You might as well give it a listen.
Bai Wu put the tape into the radio and pressed the play button.
Not surprisingly, this thing is still working normally after seven hundred years, like a deliberate guide.
The sound of the radio was a little hoarse. After several hissing sounds, a middle-aged man's voice was heard. The man deliberately lowered his voice to make his tone sound a little gloomy.
"Welcome to this episode of 'Darkness is around me'. I am the host Zhao Cuican. Before I tell the story today, I would like to ask everyone to do me a favor.
My sister is missing in this apartment, and I'm worried about her. She's only eleven. I suspect there are human traffickers in this apartment, and I've been telling horror stories, but the scariest thing I've found is actually my reality, and I'm worried about my sister. "
The radio made a hissing sound again, as if it was suddenly affected by some force and began to spin rapidly.
Bai Wu felt something was wrong, but when he was about to turn off the radio, he found that it was normal again, except that it skipped a long section.
"The last story also happened to me. Maybe my old listeners think this is nonsense, but I am telling you seriously that this is exactly what happened to me.
A classmate I hadn't seen for many years called me. He told me that he was my fan and wanted to urge me to update the show as soon as possible. I was very surprised.
He was in Denglin and I was in Baichuan. They couldn’t receive my program at all. His words frightened me.
He said to me, 'But I've been watching you on TV for two days.' I asked him what channel it was, but he hesitated and refused to tell me.
At that moment, I suddenly hung up the phone, and I was shaking with fear!"
