The feeling of walking into the elevator alone is a bit subtle.
The elevator was empty, not even a single person, only pale light. Lin Huai stretched out a finger, wanting to press the elevator button.
"Shusha, Rusha..."
There seemed to be a voice ringing above his head.
overhead
Lin Huai raised his head.
This elevator is wonderfully designed. The top of the elevator is made of steel that is smooth enough to be used as a mirror, as if to prevent the residents from looking up.
Lin Huai's shadow was the only reflection on the shiny elevator top. When he looked up, the elevator door slowly closed.
"Shusha..."
If there were people outside the elevator at this moment, he would have seen Lin Huai's figure finally disappear completely through the gap in the elevator door.
—is completely, enclosed within.
'Is there something on top of the elevator? '
The scene when the fat man entered the elevator came to Lin Huai's mind again.
Inside an elevator, there were Lin Huai, a man in a baseball cap, a white-collar woman, a couple, a woman in a pink sweater, and a little girl in a padded jacket, a total of seven people.
The load of the elevator is six people.
However, the load-carrying mass of the elevator will never be calculated based on 6x80kg, but will give a considerable amount of margin. From the elevator, the weight of the three men including Lin Huai was about 75kg, and the weight of the three women definitely did not exceed 60kg.
And that thin little girl weighs up to 30kg.
No matter how you look at it, it is absolutely impossible for these few people plus a fat man to reach the level of overload.
—then the truth only.
Above this elevator, there is still a "person" lying on his stomach!
That "person" must be looking down through the transom from the top of the elevator... Lin Huai thought so, and looked at the elevator button.
Still there is no "4".
He tried to press the "open" button, but the elevator door didn't budge.
Meanwhile, on top of the elevator—
There was actually the sound of fingernails scratching the roof of the elevator!
"Stab - stab -"
The long nails scratched the stainless steel, and the ghost on the elevator scratched the thin steel plate hard, leaving scratches on the roof of the elevator.
There are ghosts above, an abyss below, a door in front, and a wall behind. Lin Huai, who was tightly locked in the elevator, raised her head, her face pale.
He scratched the wall with his fingers, as if he already knew that he had nowhere to escape, helpless and confused.
"Stab - stab -"
The sharp friction sound continued to sound from the top of the elevator, and the ghosts ambush on it seemed to be able to break through the crumbling barrier at any time and enter the elevator!
The lights in the elevator began to flicker, and Lin Huai's face became more solemn and pale when he heard the sound.
If it had been a different player, he would have been scared out of his wits at this moment, and would have started hitting the elevator door hard.
The scratching sound seemed to ring in Lin Huai's heart, he trembled, and tentatively pressed the elevator button.
Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and the word "6" can still be highlighted!
The sound of the machine driving came from the elevator shaft, and the sound of nails scratching became more and more intense, and it sounded in the elevator at the same time!
"Squeak—squeak—"
"2"
"3"
"5"
"6"
The crumbling elevator struggled up to the sixth floor, as if falling into the elevator shaft at all times. Lin Huai leaned her back firmly against the elevator wall, closed her eyes, as if she was enduring something.
"Ding-"
The elevator stopped on the sixth floor, and at the same time, the sound of nails piercing steel finally came from the top of the elevator!
What Lin Huai was waiting for was this moment!
The sharp ghost claws got stuck in the elevator, and at this moment, Lin Huai rushed out of the elevator!
His movement of escaping from the elevator is very similar to that of an ordinary infinite stream player. However, the direction of his escape is absolutely in the direction that no one can do.
He didn't run downstairs, but...
Seventh floor!
His speed was too fast, and he rushed to the seventh floor with lightning speed, and he was still chanting.
"Phew, we've finally arrived."
"The inner wall of the elevator is too slippery, I can't grasp it with my fingers, and I can't climb up. If it weren't for this... Alas, I just endured it for a long time."
With that said, he had already reached the elevator door on the seventh floor.
Lin Huai dug his fingers between the two iron doors. He shrugged his shoulders, forcefully, abruptly—
Open the elevator door!
And looking down at the humanoid creature lying on top of the elevator.
"So I had to go up to the seventh floor to see you."
With a pale face, he smiled towards the elevator shaft.
The Wraith Above the Elevator: …
Wraith screamed and seemed to want to run away, but Lin Huai grabbed the steel cable of the elevator.
"Don't try to run." He said coldly, "If you dare to run, I'll cut this steel cable, and let you fall down with the elevator and fall into a puddle of flesh."
Wraith:?
If Wraith can speak human language, it will probably also make a voice of "Are you speaking human language?"
"As a property manager, I don't allow you to destroy the public property of the apartment." The person who just said that he wanted to cut the cable said sternly, as if no one in the world except him is allowed to destroy public property. "You come up, let's have a good talk."
Wraith: "Ah—"
It seems to have only a human appearance, without the ability to communicate with people.
Lin Huai:
Lin Huai looked at the creature with a human appearance but no facial features, showing a puzzled expression.
As the saying goes, substitute messengers will attract each other, and ghosts will also attract each other.
The spirit attribute in ghosts is different from the force attribute and charm attribute. Unlike the two, which are mostly formed by human grievances, spiritual ghosts mostly come from children or non-human creatures.
Generally speaking, just like ghosts gather where there are evil or fierce ghosts, so do wraiths gather where there are powerful evil spirits. However, in this apartment, most of the non-human creatures that Lin Huai has seen so far are ghosts.
Even the little padded jacket girl and the 202 little girl who are most likely to become evil spirits exude the aura of ghosts.
However, this resentful spirit... seems to be purely spiritual, it doesn't seem to be transformed by humans, and it has no language ability at all.
Seeing him, Wraith Ling opened his mouth, and was about to run away with a scream. Lin Huai quickly threw out Yan Xi's card: "Go and have a good talk with it."
The blood-red shadow spread endlessly, Yan Xi pulled out from the card, and grabbed the wraith who wanted to escape.
The wraith screamed sharply in his hand. It has no other facial features, only a mouth, which is full of pointed teeth, like the teeth of some kind of beast. Yan Xi held him and was also a little confused: "How to talk about it?"
Lin Huai: "Tell it to repay grievances and revenge. If you have anything to do, come to the property management room and have a good talk with me. Don't lie on the elevator to destroy public property and violate the rules of apartment residents, you know?"
Yan Xi: "Oh..."
Lin Huai looked down at Wraith again and said, "Don't be nervous, if you are obedient enough and not eaten by me. After a long time, you will also find that I am a very easy person to get along with."
Yan Xi: ... Teacher, do your words sound like human words
He was very honest and didn't complain, and started to educate after catching the wraith. Lin Huai left the two of them and walked towards the female white-collar worker's room.
He opened the door with the key very restrained.
There was an unpleasant dampness in the house. Lin Huai moved her nose slightly and closed her eyes.
When he opened it again, his pitch-black eyes had turned blood red, and everything he saw had changed.
What appeared within the ghost pupil was a red vision. The place where the blood color and black air are thicker is where the ghost is.
In this seemingly unremarkable house, the most cursed...is actually this painting.
And the wall behind this painting is just a storage space for the ghosts.
In his field of vision, he could clearly feel the curse process of this painting.
The woman sleeping on the white quilt and covered with the white quilt will always feel the peeping from the outside world in the water.
However, when she opened her eyes, all she could see were the curtains blown by the wind, and the pale moonlight shining through the window and reflecting on the painting.
The woman only thought that the source of her gaze was the peeping person outside the window glass. But what she didn't know was... what was really watching her in the middle of the night was the shadow on the glass door leading to the balcony!
The painting reflected on the glass door is not two and a half roses in a vase.
It was two women standing side by side, wearing bloody clothes and pale faces, and beside them, the shadow of the woman herself became increasingly clear as the days grew older!
"... People who sleep on this bed will feel the pressure of ghosts getting heavier and heavier at night. The thin quilt covers the body, but it seems to weigh a thousand tons, making it difficult to breathe."
Lin Huai walked towards the wall.
"In the beginning, she would wake up in the middle of the night because of the pressure on her body, but as the days went on, it would become more and more difficult for her to wake up from her dreams, and she would sleep until dawn. Finally one day, Sleeping through the night until the morning and waking up amazed at how well I slept…”
"She will find that what is covering her eyes is not a quilt, but a wall."
"She's sealed in the wall, isn't she?"
The young man with red pupils chuckled, and fingered the painting on the wall!
However, the painting seemed to be firmly nailed to the wall, completely different from the easy-to-take-off state yesterday!
The shadows of two women in blood clothes appeared in the glass window leading to the balcony. There was nothing behind Lin Huai, but the reflections of the two people in the glass approached Lin Huai step by step.
They stretched out their hands, as if they wanted to push Lin Huai into the painting!
The young man with his back to them suddenly smiled when his palm was about to touch his shoulder.
"If you find a way to remove this painting from the wall, you can solve the curse, right?" He said to himself, "But it seems a bit troublesome to find a way to solve the puzzle, how about..."
"Wouldn't it be more convenient to tear down this layer of wall together? The wall is taken down, and the painting...is also taken down, isn't it?"
…
after an hour.
The white-collar woman received a call from the property management.
She has become a ghost and has no awareness of her own death. In her cognition, she just left the apartment in the morning as usual and went to work at the unit. Therefore, after receiving the call from Lin Huai, she was a little puzzled.
"The cause of the water leakage in the wall has been found." The property manager's voice was very polite, "The problem... has also been solved from the root cause."
"You are quite neat in handling things." The white-collar woman praised.
"There's just one thing I'm sorry about." Lin Huai replied, "Because your wall is leaking, so..."
The white-collar woman faintly had some bad premonition: "So?"
"So," Lin Huai said sincerely, "I dismantled it."
