Chen Ge looked at the names of his parents on the statue and remained silent, no one knew what he was thinking.
The morning sun rose, Chen Ge took all the red clothes back into the comic book, and he stood by the reservoir with the two statues.
"I heard the shadow say a word before, the birth of a ghost may take the whole city as the mother."
The water is too deep to see the end at a glance, and no one knows what terrifying things are hidden under the clear surface.
"The unborn child should also really want to have his own parents."
Putting away the two statues, Chen Ge turned around and left: "All the changes in the shadow start from entering the world behind the door, and the door in the horror house completely changed him. When the mission of the fetus is over, I will also push that open. Let's go in through the door."
Taking a taxi back to New Century Park, Chen Ge put on makeup for the employees, and then he entered the staff lounge and fell asleep.
He has to keep his spirits up, because tonight is the last night.
When the sun rises again, the person who opens his eyes and sees the sun may no longer be himself.
The House of Horrors is already on the right track, and he doesn't need to worry about it any more. The ghost employees are used to life here, and their "life" is extended in another form.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Ge was awakened by the alarm. He put on his backpack and hurriedly left the staff lounge. According to the address on the business card, he came to the old town.
"Wandering around, I didn't expect to come back here again."
The old town is very big, and Chen Ge has only been to a small part of it before.
Holding his business card, he asked as he walked, and finally found a place where women work beside a very dilapidated community.
"Jiuhong Real Estate Agency?"
Half of the words on the advertising sign were missing, and the glass door was open, as if something had gone wrong, and it was not closed tightly at all.
There are a lot of advertisements on the telephone pole facing the door, there are marriage requests, skin diseases treatment, and missing people notices.
Several bicycles were parked in a clutter next to the power lines, and one of them had a punctured tire.
The floor tiles at the entrance were fairly neatly laid, but except for the part at the entrance, the floor tiles on both sides were all cracked, and black sewage would emerge from the cracks when one stepped on it.
With the continuous development of Hanjiang, many parts of the old city have been renovated, but this is obviously an exception.
Chen Ge took a business card and glanced into the house. An old man was sighing on the dilapidated wooden sofa, holding a cup of turbid tea in his hand.
There seemed to be someone arguing in the room, and the voice was so loud that even Chen Ge could hear it clearly while standing at the door.
"Eldest sister, the place you recommended to me is really not suitable for me. You have to retire what you say today!"
"Yes, we are not unreasonable. The question is who would dare to live in such a house?"
"Check out! Don't look for excuses! It's not easy for us either! If you insist on quitting, then we'll come to make trouble every day!"
Several people gathered around the service desk, and the group was so excited that they seemed to be deceived by the real estate agency.
"Uncle, what are they arguing about?" Chen Ge quietly walked into the house, and did not notify the staff, but sat down beside the uncle.
"Are you here to rent too?"
"Yeah, why am I here?" Chen Ge glanced at the service desk very curiously. The little boy's mother had a bitter expression and kept explaining something to the people around.
"Don't come here to rent a house, let's go." The uncle reminded in a low voice.
"Why?" Chen Ge asked casually.
"Don't be greedy for petty bargains, although the rent here is the cheapest in the neighborhood, but..." The uncle scratched his head, and finally said four words: "It's hard to say."
"Don't say leave half of it, it makes me more and more curious."
"The main reason is that I don't know how to say it. Anyway, his house is very strange, and all kinds of things will always happen. It has been exposed before that his family is doing business in a haunted house." The wrinkles on the uncle's face were crowded together. : "Do you know the haunted house? Their boss rented out the house where someone died at a low price and didn't tell the tenant. It happened that the tenant was a ghost story lover. He searched the Internet for real ghost stories every day, and one night He saw a report on the Internet, and the picture used in the report was his home."
"That's really exciting." Chen Ge found that the uncle was quite interesting, and even knew the real supernatural story.
"It's not just stimulation, it almost scared him to death. The bed I slept on once had a corpse on it, and the pool I usually bathed in had soaked the dead. Who can stand it?" The uncle sighed, and the wrinkles on his face deepened. .
"Then did the landlord check out for him later?"
"If it is refunded, it will not be exposed. The landlord does not agree to refund the money, and only promises to give him another room. That person also came to work, and he has no money and can only agree, and then the worst thing happened." The uncle put down the tea cup: "He started moving alone in the afternoon and moved to the evening. After arriving at the new home, he directly started to search the Internet for any murders related to the new home. The result..."
"What happened?" Chen Ge was also curious, he felt that the tenant couldn't be so "lucky".
"The last room was a murder, this room is a suicide, as soon as the wall was opened, there were still hairs hidden in it." The uncle himself couldn't say any more.
"This is too much, is the landlord deliberately cheating on this tenant?" Chen Ge put down his backpack, leaned on the back of the sofa chair, and changed a comfortable posture: "Then did the landlord change the tenant's room?"
"The tenants have been tricked twice, how dare they continue to live here, they must be refunded and left."
"Should the landlord give him a refund this time?"
"Have you seen the tall man at the back of the house? If the landlord promises to refund him, he won't come here to make trouble." The uncle smiled wryly.
"It turned out to be him!" Chen Ge glanced at the man with his yin pupils. The other party had dark circles under his eyes. Although he looked tall, his yin was weak and his yang fire was not prosperous.
"He wasn't the only one who was cheated. The landlord didn't give back the money, so everyone could only join forces to seek an explanation. As a result, the landlord was nowhere to be seen, and the black-hearted boss of the intermediary also hid in Tibet, and had a receptionist on duty here every day." The uncle sighed. : "We have been here several times, but they are just arguing and don't give a solution. Now I go back to my house every day with fear."
"I think you can call the police or contact the local reporter. It is indeed the agency company's fault."
"We have tried all the methods we can try, but we still can't, because each of us has different reasons for checking out. Although we all know that everyone is not lying, people from the outside world don't think so." This sentence of the uncle Chen Ge's curiosity was aroused again.
"Every one of you has a different reason for checking out?"
"Yeah, just like me. I'm the oldest tenant here. I can hear the bell every twelve o'clock at night. I've been used to it for so many years, and only recently did I know that all the tenants around me listen to it. If the bell is not seen, only I can hear the bell." The uncle was helpless: "If you don't know about this, you will continue to live. Now that you know the key, who dares to live? And this reason is said to others. If you don’t believe me, you all think I’m confused, and I get angry when I say it!”
The uncle stared at the cup of turbid tea: "It's not easy to find a place where I'm used to living, but I can't help it. There are fewer and fewer tenants around, and it's more and more scary for me to go home at night."
Chen Ge was chatting with the uncle, and there was already a quarrel at the service desk. The little boy's mother kept apologizing. She was pushed out by the boss as a shield.
"Master, why did they check out? It's impossible for everyone's house to be a haunted house, right?"
"Only the big and tall rental house is a haunted house, and the reasons for others to check out are similar to me." The uncle whispered: "The most noisy couple is a new move, they live on the fourth floor, young people I like to stay up late and always sleep late. One day the two of them were playing games when the man heard the window rattle. He thought the window was not closed and ran over to take a look, only to find that a dark shadow was following him on the fourth floor of the residential building opposite. Beckoning, as if to ask him to come over."
"Shadow? Then what?"
"He especially liked to play games, and he didn't care at all at the time, but he felt a little creepy after thinking about it. The next day he took the initiative to stand by the window, and at two o'clock in the morning, he saw the shadow standing on the fourth floor for him again. Beckon and let him go." The uncle has a talent for storytelling, and his voice is cadenced, which can make Chen Ge involuntarily substitute into it.
"Did he pass?"
"Who dares to go at night? He didn't go there until noon the next day, but the people in the building told him that the room was empty and that no one has lived in it for a long time." The uncle lowered his voice: "You think this is the case. Is it over? The night he came back, he stayed by the window again. No one in the opposite building beckoned him, but his glass window kept making noises in the middle of the night, as if someone was lying outside the building trying to open his window. Same."
"I'm going, it's scary." Chen Ge covered his heart: "Could it be a psychological effect?"
"Who said it clearly, we are not the only ones who encounter strange things." The uncle pointed to a student who was filling out documents on the left side of the service desk: "That student always heard a woman whispering upstairs in his house, as if saying He thought that the sound insulation of the floor was poor and he didn't care. After a week, his upstairs neighbor ran down and warned him not to chat with people in the middle of the night, only then did he realize that the woman's voice was not from It came from upstairs, most likely from somewhere in his house."
"Not necessarily, upstairs and downstairs can hear so clearly, maybe the woman is hiding in the middle of the floor, maybe there is a body hidden in the wall?" Chen Ge habitually analyzed it.
"You suddenly said that..." The uncle's face changed: "It's really possible!"
"I said it casually, don't take it to heart."
"Then can I not take it to my heart?!" The uncle stood up and walked towards the reception desk. His heart for checking out became more determined.
In order to share the pressure on the little boy's mother, Chen Ge also hurried over: "Don't be noisy, everyone, don't be impatient, I will help you solve your problems."
To be honest, the little boy's mother didn't have a good impression of Chen Ge at first, but when she was surrounded by a group of people making noise, Chen Ge was able to stand up to save the scene, which made her view of Chen Ge a lot better.
"Who are you?" Many tenants were seeing Chen Ge for the first time. They were getting angry, and the fire in their hearts was directly on Chen Ge.
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I can help you solve your problems." Chen Ge stood in front of the crowd with his backpack: "Can you give me one night? It doesn't make any sense for you to keep making trouble like this, why don't you trust me once? ."
Several tenants were also miserable by the black-hearted intermediary boss. They didn't believe Chen Ge at all: "It's inexplicable, why should we believe you? Day by day, you find various reasons and excuses to prevaricate, but you just don't want to. To solve the problem for us…”
"If I don't solve the problem for you tonight, I will rent all your houses. I will make up for the deposit held by the intermediary, and I will refund the rent that the landlord does not give you back. If you don't believe it, we will now You can sign the contract, write it all in black and white, and anyone who breaches the contract will be compensated tenfold." After Chen Ge said this, the entire agency became quiet, and all the tenants who had checked out all looked at him.
"you sure?"
"Of course, but before each of you leave, tell me word-for-word the strange things you experienced during the rental period." Chen Ge is a business without capital, which can not only harvest potential employees, but also help Desperate tenants can also get the most direct and real information: "Line up and come one by one."
The uncle stood by and wanted to persuade Chen Ge to calm down, but seeing that the tenants were all excited, he shook his head and said nothing.
The encounter between the student and the couple was nothing different from what the uncle told before.
The focus is on the very tall tenant, who has a very bad mental state and is physically and mentally exhausted from two bad rental experiences: "The two houses I rented are haunted houses, and the landlord and the agent have teamed up to deceive us, if they don't I am ready to use legal means to protect my rights and interests.”
"Did you still have something to tell everyone?" Chen Ge always felt that the man's behavior was a bit strange, as if he was hiding something.
Suddenly being asked by Chen Ge like this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, he hesitated for a long time before saying, "I guess you won't believe it. I dreamed that a dead person spoke."
"Anything can happen in a dream."
"The problem is, when I woke up from the dream, I opened my eyes and saw the dead man lying flat on the ceiling." The man didn't seem to tell the other tenants about this. When he said this, everyone felt behind Chill.
"Then do you remember what the deceased said to you in the dream?"
"Brother, isn't your focus too strange? You opened your eyes and saw the dead man lying on the ceiling in your dream. Can you still remember what he said?" Unconsciously, I felt cold all over.
"In other words, you have forgotten what they said?" Chen Ge nodded and asked the next question: "Does this happen often? Or does it happen occasionally?"
