It was still raining heavily at night, and driver Li drove the car tremblingly.
"By the way, what kind of place is Huaiping Road?" Lin Huai said, "Why do you all show that look when you talk about Huaiping Road?"
"That place is..."
Driver Li told Lin Huai that there used to be many residents living on Huaiping Road, but after a problem occurred in a residential building, almost all the residents who originally lived on this road moved out. Only some old people who have no money still live in nearby residential buildings, or people who have property can't let go of their shops. But they also gradually changed the industry they operated, from ordinary grocery stores or snack bars, and eventually all changed to...
"Window grilles, blessing characters, couplets, Chinese knots?" Lin Huai said, "Blooming for the new year?"
Driver Li: …
Driver Li hesitated to speak, said, "Of course it's antiques, crystals, and...scented paper money shops."
Lin Huai: ...
"They are really nourishing the shade in the shade." Lin Huai said with emotion.
"In short, this Huaiping Road is very gloomy and evil. Especially No. 4. People who live near there sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and see the lights on upstairs, but the people there have already..."
"What are you doing early?"
"Already... died ten years ago!"
"Dead? How did you die?"
"It seems that some people were burned to death, some were electrocuted to death, and some people hanged themselves. In short, the whole building and dozens of families died just like that! It was even published in the newspaper!"
At that moment, Lin Huai suddenly felt a cool wind blowing from behind, which made the hair on the back of his neck stand upright. At the same time, there was a sudden sound of sudden braking from the tires of the taxi!
"Meow!"
The shrill meow pierced the silence of the night sky. Under the headlights of the car, a nearly hit black cat screamed and ran across the road. The driver was also in shock. He clutched his throbbing chest and said silently: "Amitabha, Jesus is above, the Queen Mother, the Supreme Lord...Fortunately, it is a cat. You say, a broken cat is such a heavy rain day. Run fart run down the street! Almost got hit..."
"Don't blame it, it wasn't the black cat that was almost hit." Lin Huai said coolly.
"That's..." the driver fell silent.
When the headlights flashed just now, Lin Huai clearly saw a scorched black figure flashing in front of the headlights, and smiled twistedly at him with his mouth open!
"I have to come out to pick up customers even in rainy days. I am really dedicated. If this is my employer, it would be a disappointment to his sincerity not to get off alone now." Lin Huai said, "Master, just get off here."
The driver hastily parked the car on the side of the road. Lin Huai got out of the car, and it was still raining. He was holding the black umbrella, wearing a bright yellow courier uniform, his eyes were slightly squinted, and his pale and handsome side face was cold.
Although the clothes made him look like a handsome trash can erected on the side of the street.
"Twenty eleven." Lin Huai glanced at his mobile phone, and decided to show some face to the street that was getting darker in the rain, "I was on time. I came here, and some people have already come here, but He is dead."
Lin Huai took a step forward. Then, the driver's trembling voice came from behind him: "This little brother..."
"You don't need to stay, I have my mission. Some roads need to be walked alone after all." Lin Huai said.
Driver: "... Brother, you haven't paid me yet."
... Lin Huai walked back silently, and took out a piece of fifty yuan to give to the driver. Seeing the taxi disappear in the rainy night, Lin Huai also gave up pretending to be a trash can on the side of the road, but changed it into a bright walking trash can.
The two sides of the street are desolate and cold, and the atmosphere is like the fund that Lin Huai bought at the beginning of the year. All the wax paper money shops are dark because they are closed. The sound of footsteps is thus extraordinarily clear. There were a few pieces of muddy paper on the ground, like paper money, or a paper man who looked like a college student who stayed up late until three o'clock every night.
Lin Huai stepped over these sad college students. When he stepped over, he seemed to hear the sound of something walking in the nearby shop, rustling, like mice or cockroaches.
And the only thing he held in his hand was a courier.
Lin Huai suddenly felt very lonely. He was alone and there were so many recipients here that he felt surrounded.
Lin Huai, who was surrounded, moved her long legs and walked quietly to the door of No. 4 Huaiping Road. What I saw was a residential building full of ivy. The residential building is very old. At the entrance of the dark corridor, the green rusty iron door is open. There was a faint cold wind blowing from inside.
Both a threat and an invitation.
There are two households on both sides of the corridor entrance. From the outside, it looks like one window on each side. This gave Lin Huai the illusion that he was walking into the mouth of a monster. The dark, shattered windows on either side are eyes, and the corridor is a dark mouth.
"There are still forty minutes, I'm not in vain to arrive early." Lin Huai said, and took out a...
Special chainsaw.
Lin Huai turned on the roaring handheld chainsaw. At that moment, he clearly felt the "figures" in those ghost houses moving in horror. Lin Huai had no expression on his face. He manipulated the chainsaw and sawed down the crumbling green iron door!
"I won't give you the chance to lock me up in the building!"
While sawing down the iron gate, the smile on Lin Huai's face began to get out of control along with the beeping, and he couldn't help but let out a joyful laugh.
The sound of metal crashing and sparks flying is so cool!
Crazy laughter echoed downstairs, and the pale "woman" standing on the fifth floor also moved her head back trembling.
"Damn it." She thought in shock, "What the hell are these things here?"
His movement alarmed the owner of a nearby paper money shop. One of the bold ones peeked out the window quietly.
"Fuck, ghosts still use chainsaws these days?" He couldn't believe his eyes.
Lin Huai not only sawed off the iron gate with a chainsaw, but in order to prevent the ghosts from disregarding Wude and putting it back together, he also sawed them into small pieces one by one with a chainsaw. Anyway, the system just asked him to deliver the courier, but didn't stop him from sawing the iron gate. After doing all this, to ensure safety, Lin Huai put the courier in the bag behind his back, turned into a ghost form, and walked into the corridor.
He could clearly feel that after he entered the corridor, the sound of the huge rain outside was almost inaudible. Instead, there was a constant silence and silence.
The corridor was full of dust and extremely dark, but a few handprints could be faintly seen on the ground. There is no fence on the side of the corridor near the street, only large windows, which can be pushed down from above at any time. Lin Huai walked from the first floor to the third floor, and when he reached the fourth floor, he went up again, and it was still the fourth floor.
"It's a ghost hitting the wall again." Lin Huai said.
Lin Huai took out an iron rod from his bag. Then, he turned around as fast as he could and knocked down the female ghost who was about to climb up from the window at the entrance of the corridor!
The ghost let out a howl. Holding the iron rod, Lin Huai grinned at her.
"Sorry." Lin Huai said slowly, "This road is mine now."
As he said that, he threw the iron rod to the ground, and dragged the hanged ghost who was hanging above his head and bumping the back of his neck with his feet to the ground together.
"Fuck, are you still human?!" The hanged ghost screamed.
Lin Huai turned a deaf ear to it. He turned over to the outside of the building at a very fast speed, and dug his nails into the wall under the shocked eyes of the female ghost.
Then…
Climb up the wall!
"Baishi express, the mission must be achieved. Do this for customers, you don't have to be too moved."
The creeper on the wall wriggled as if alive, trying to catch Lin Huai. Lin Huai vaguely saw a few vicious grimaces staring at the bloodshot eyes under the ivy. They seem to be imprisoned here, even their souls are embedded in the cold wall and cannot be freed, howling and wanting to find someone to die with them.
But Lin Huai didn't want to sacrifice them. What's more, being entangled by countless vines on the wall is too much like a bondage play. Although Chu Tianshu persuaded him to try, Lin Huai didn't have such a bad hobby. What's more, if it is bound by vines on the wall here, not only will it not be able to complete the task of the owner (customer), but the picture description will be so bad that it looks like it will be subject to a high-level trial at any time.
The ivy failed to catch Lin Huai's ankle. Lin Huai climbed up to the seventh floor as fast as she could, and stepped on a soft thing when she landed. The ghost lurking under the window sill wailed, he stepped on a broken bone, and ran away in despair.
Lin Huai felt very sorry for this. But seeing that it was already 11:50 on the phone, he could only walk the last half of the steps as fast as he could to reach the seventh floor.
Finally, there is still a short distance, and the seventh floor is here.
Lin Huai saw the long and deep corridor. The corridor was dark, far deeper than the physical distance of the building, and it was unknown where it would lead. When her toes were about to touch the last step, Lin Huai closed her eyes.
The corridor was so quiet that I could hear all the echoes, and I could also hear Lin Huai's...
No, Lin Huai did not have a heartbeat.
After closing his eyes, Lin Huai heard faint footsteps following him on the steps behind him. Those footsteps were first a pair, then a second pair.
Lin Huai kept walking towards the depths of the corridor.
In the depths of the corridor on the seventh floor, there was the sound of dripping water. When there is no vision, human associations are always easily induced. Lin Huai heard the sound of wind blowing from the open door, like a little girl running past him with a shrill laugh, or like someone stretched out a hand from the room and placed it on him. He said on his shoulder: "Don't go, run away, hide in!"
And the hoarse voice of the old woman: "Put him in the refrigerator..."
It's like the scene before those people died, replaying in this corridor over and over again.
There was also the sizzling of wires, and the walls getting hotter and hotter. It's as if the deeper you go, the more this corridor is burning. Lin Huai couldn't help thinking of the moment when the people in this corridor died—the sparks splashed on the gas, and the fire dragon swept the entire corridor.
There was also the sound of wind blowing above his head, as if something was hanging and shaking in the air. Finally, Lin Huai came to an end.
He touched the end of the wall with his hand, and heard voices coming from behind him.
"Lin Huai."
That voice was gloomy and treacherous, as if the venom and blood of the whole world had been condensed.
"Please sign for five-star praise for your express delivery." Lin Huai replied.
Ghost: ...
The ghost took the courier and signed for it. Lin Huai said, "I wish you a happy life and death."
