In room 402, there are strange marks after the fire.
The ceiling and walls of the room were blackened by smoke, but the rest of the furniture was untouched.
The room was very dimly lit, and the large window facing the road was also blocked by a concrete wall. Most people didn't show any strange expressions about this. Except for Wei Dong and Zhu Haowen, the two of them were obviously exposed to the strange concrete wall. Terrified and puzzled.
On the big bed in the back room, two-thirds of the bedding was burnt to ashes, while the other third was intact.
Wei Dong's face turned pale and stood beside Ke Xun: "This... how did this burn? Could it be that the bedding spontaneously ignited? This is too evil."
Mu Yiran looked at the half of the candle that was intact on the table next to it, and also felt that something was wrong.
Everyone soon discovered this strange phenomenon. Chitiao picked up the half-candle that was squatting in the small tea bowl. A lot of solidified wax oil had accumulated in the tea bowl: "This... the candle is not the source of the fire?"
Qin Ci looked up at the blackened ceiling and walls: "Looking at the walls, the fire last night should have been very big, and it even spread to the outside world."
- "No, these walls have always been black." It was Xin Miao who had just appeared at the door, and Sha Liu was standing beside him.
"It's always been black?" Qin Ci was puzzled.
Xin Miao looked sure: "The three of us... The three of us opened the door to look at the house yesterday evening. The house was dark. Later, we went downstairs to find the concierge. He said that the house could not be changed, and I couldn't live in love... let He opened the door for us to go out, and he didn't agree."
"Apart from the black walls, is there anything else strange?" Mu Yiran asked.
Xin Miao is a kind of forcible calm at the moment, after Shaliu's persuasion, her instinctive desire for survival finally outweighed her fear, and she just wants to cooperate with everyone to find shelter: "We probably looked at the house at the time, and then Just went to the small restaurant downstairs to eat..." Xin Miao looked at the room in front of her again and saw the bed that was more than half burned, she couldn't help trembling, "The two of them are more courageous than me. , I always thought that last night was a time-travel, and their adaptability is better than me."
"We went back to the house after turning off the lights, and each played mobile games for a while. Later...the two of them went to the toilet, and it would be bad if they came back..." Xin Miao recalled yesterday's scene.
Sha Liu asked beside him, "What's wrong?"
"They came back and said that there was a grimace outside the window of the public toilet... Because Tina loves to play tricks and scare people, and usually tells ghost stories. I'm not very timid. I thought they were deliberately scaring me," Xinmiao said. Then he sobbed again, "They said this place can't be lived, and they're going to go out and discuss with you, and then we all go to the old porter together..."
"I was dubious about what they said, and I was very afraid. It was dark outside, so I didn't dare to go out at all! None of the three of us remembered which house you all lived in, but vaguely remembered that the other two women seemed to live in 410. …”
So last night they knocked on the door of 410. If they didn't get a response, maybe they were afraid, so they could only leave first, planning to stay overnight and leave the apartment tomorrow morning.
Everyone heard their slamming on the door last night, and as long as the angle of the room was right, some people also saw the candlelight window in 402.
"What about after they go back to the room?" Ke Xun thought of the Tina who dyed her hair gray-blue, and she was quite fearless. She always felt that it was impossible for this person to return to the room and calm down.
Sure enough, Xin Miao continued: "None of us could sleep, and everyone was a little restless. Later, Tina started to pack her backpack and planned to leave overnight. In fact, we did leave the room again..."
Xin Miao's face began to look ugly, and her eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the public toilet: "That staircase... When we went upstairs before the lights went out, we came up from there, the stairs are obviously next to the public toilet... Who knows, when we think about it in the middle of the night When I was about to leave, the stairs were gone."
"What?!" Qiu Lu was the first to express surprise, "The stairs are gone?!"
Xin Miao's lips turned white with fright: "Now it's there again... It really disappeared last night! The public toilet is still there, but the place where there should be stairs is flat! It's as if stairs were never built there... "
"Then you panicked too much and went back to your room?" Ke Xun asked.
"Yes, we didn't dare to go anywhere, and we felt unsafe with the door closed. Then we all huddled together and slept... Until the next morning... "
Sha Liu patted Xin Miao's back to comfort him, and looked at Mu Yiran and Ke Xun: "Qiu Lu and I go to the women's bathroom, I wonder if that grimace is still there."
Qiu Lu was a little frightened, and hesitated to move forward.
Shouzhu said on the side, "If there is no one in the women's bathroom now, let's go in together and have a look."
No one else had any objection, and Xin Miao followed everyone, feeling that only places with a lot of people were the safest, even in broad daylight.
Mu Yiran walked behind and did not go in. Instead, he stepped in the direction of the stairs, and Ke Xun stood behind him: "I believe her words, the stairs may have really disappeared last night."
Now the stairs are clearly in front of you, and there are Saint Seiya stickers posted by children on the painted handrails.
But who can tell what's in the picture
Mu Yiran stood at the entrance of the stairs, as if thinking about something.
Ke Xun looked around at the four points in the circle of the apartment, each point was an exit, the stairs were the exit of solids, and the toilet water room was the exit of liquid.
"You said, did all the stairs disappear after the lights went out last night? If that's the case, then there is no need for the concierge to remind us that we can't go up and down the stairs at will." Ke Xun expressed his opinion.
Mu Yiran's cool eyes stayed on Ke Xun's face for a moment: "In terms of time, will this disappearance happen every night, or only on a specific night?"
Ke Xun felt that he had been sprinkled with mints on his face, and his face was refreshing, and his head also became clear: "That is to say, the disappearance of the stairs may be closely related to the death that night, and the death last night was designed as a fire. , once the two girls who were burned wake up in time, it is very likely to escape through the door, and the stairs are the preferred direction for people as an emergency passage."
The mint candy in Mu Yiran's eyes swayed again, and nodded lightly: "Similarly, the entire apartment is involved in the design of death, and adjustments will be made for each death event, this time the change is only The hardware facilities of the apartment, in the future, maybe someone will be involved in it.”
Mu Yiran's tone was calm, but the content of what he said was terrifying from the top of the head to the toes.
Others have come out of the public toilet, and the result is: there is indeed a grimace outside the window of the women's toilet. It is a graffiti painted on the cement wall outside. The whole face is almost as big as the window.
"Ke'er, why is there a concrete wall outside the window?" Wei Dong came to Ke Xun, "Is this the case on your fourth floor?"
Ke Xun nodded: "Are you all right on the sixth floor?"
Everyone went downstairs while talking, it's time to gather at Wumei Restaurant.
"The windows on the sixth floor are still quite bright, but I feel panicked," Wei Dong looked at Zhu Haowen, who was walking in front, "My roommate kept saying that he had a headache last night, but I felt chest tightness, and my heart was overwhelmed. But I'm angry, thanks to the Eight Immortals tube you gave me, or I should have been sent to the hospital for oxygen."
Wei Dong said, took out the Eight Immortals tube in his hand, unscrewed it and took a deep breath: "No wonder the concierge uncle said that he was in a panic when he lived on the sixth floor. I understand this feeling."
Mu Yiran suddenly asked, "Apart from the physical discomfort last night, did your room have any other abnormalities?"
Wei Dong scratched his head: "Last night we both fell asleep. We still felt a headache and chest tightness when we woke up in the morning, so we left the room quickly."
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Ke Xun asked.
"Strange, it's fine as soon as you leave the sixth floor." Wei Dong couldn't explain why.
When Qin Ci passed the third floor, he went to the 307 where he lived to help the old man Li Taiyong out. Since the old man was too old, everyone did not let him know about the dead man for the time being.
The concierge is already waiting for everyone at the entrance of Wumei Restaurant: "Tell everyone about 402 before eating."
Does the NPC want to take the initiative to explain the crime last night
The concierge shook the big keychain in his hand: "Since Liao Xin passed the power out to us at night, the big guy can only touch the dark. Xiaobai, who used to live in 402, the student of the college entrance examination, can only light wax every night to study, and one day read a book. I fell asleep when I was so tired, and I hit a candle, lit a book, and started a fire. Of course, this was last year."
Everyone was analyzing the purpose of the NPC's explanation, and the concierge said, "So we have to pay attention to the safety of using fire and have common sense of fire fighting! Let's talk about it here, let's eat."
Wei Dong couldn't help but ask, "Then do we have any tasks during the day?"
"What do you tenants like to do, and it's not up to me!"
"Then can we go out the door?" Qiu Lu asked hurriedly.
The concierge's face turned cold: "The gate has been blocked by the developers, and even the concrete walls have been built up. Whoever goes out will be a traitor in the Chunshui dormitory!"
The big guy hurriedly entered the restaurant with a haha. Sha Liu reminded Qiu Lu: "Our purpose is to find the seal, and only by finding the seal can we leave this world!"
Qiu Lu has also been forced to believe this evil thing: "But there are so many people living here, do we still need to search from house to house?"
"The seal can't be in someone else's house. We must contact these deaths to find out the main thread or trigger point. The seal can only be hidden in places related to these." Anyone entering the painting can hear it.
The proprietress Wumei led everyone into the only standard room in the hotel. There was a large round table on which a simple breakfast had been placed - millet porridge, steamed buns, and side dishes.
Ke Xun Weidong felt that the treatment here was not bad.
Wumei also said: "If you want to order a single order, you will pay extra. We also have eggs, fried cakes, steamed buns, and preserved egg and lean meat porridge."
None of us have the appetite to eat, let alone order food.
Ke Xun glanced at Wumei: "How much is a boiled egg for one person?"
At this time, you should be full, and looking for a seal is a very physically consuming thing.
"Five cents for an egg, 11 people will give you five dollars!" Wumei was a happy person.
Ke Xun gave the money to the fifth sister, and asked with a smile, "Who is the Liao Xinchuan that the uncle mentioned just now?"
The fifth sister answered while keeping the accounts: "It's the former director of the factory, Liao!"
This answer surprised everyone. They thought that Liao Xinchuan should be the so-called Hong Kong developer, but unexpectedly another factory manager appeared.
The person who spoke this time was Li Taiyong, an old man who had always been taciturn: "Girl, is our factory still there?"
"It's here now, but it's not the same as before. I don't understand the principles of the shareholding system. I went around and around, and now the whole factory belongs to those few shareholders! Even the land of the factory and our spring bamboo shoots dormitory belong to them. They are! Director Liao takes the lead!"
Li Taiyong fell silent again.
