Third-rate Thriller Novelist

Chapter 14: Scarlet Apartment (final)

Views:

The surrounding walls were scarlet, like coagulated blood.

The bald man came to Room 444 in the West Building in fear, pushed open the half-covered door, and only dared to enter after finding that there was no danger behind the door.

He took out an ax from the black book, and gestured at the surrounding blood-red walls.

"The occupation of the male owner of this house is related to the construction site. He arranged to renovate the entire apartment. During the renovation process, he will definitely hide the female ghost's body secretly. The easiest way is to build it in the wall."

He muttered in his mouth, as if to comfort himself: "If the corpse is hidden in someone else's house, there is no guarantee that it will not be discovered. Only by building it in your own home can you be safe! Even if there is something abnormal, your family will not expose it..."

The more he said it, the more he felt it made sense. The bald man gradually took courage and slashed at the wall in front of him with an axe.

In a daze, he seemed to hear someone screaming in pain.

After he stopped, the voice disappeared again, and the room was quiet, as if nothing had happened.

So he relaxed again, swung his arm, and slashed down one ax after another. The ax blade blessed by the skill was very sharp, and soon smashed a notch in the concrete wall.

"It hurts...it hurts..."

Amidst the chopping sound of "dong dong bang bang", the woman's painful cries were drowned out by the noisy voice.

The bald man was still struggling to raise the ax in his hand, but he didn't realize that the whole room was changing. The blood red on the wall gradually condensed, and the bloody silk thread leaked out little by little.

He just felt that his ax was getting heavier and heavier, and the feeling of chopping down became more and more viscous. The blade of the ax seemed to be wrapped in blood, and it took a lot of effort to lift it up every time.

Until the bald man heard someone gently asking him in his ear: "Why did you cut me?"

It's a woman's voice!

The bald man who was immersed in the excitement suddenly woke up. He stared dumbfounded at the notch cut by himself. That place was no longer a wall, but a lump of wriggling flesh and blood.

He backed away in horror, but crashed into the layers of blood behind him, like a small bug stuck in a spider's web.

The whole room became soft, and the blood-red walls turned into throbbing flesh, asking over and over again: "Why did you cut my body, why did you cut my body, why did you..."

The bald man was so stimulated by the sight in front of him that he wanted to scream, but countless blood threads wrapped him up and dragged him abruptly into the notch he just made, filling the vacancy of the notch.

The bald man squirmed, struggled, and screamed silently under the bloodshot wrap.

But in the end, he was still silent.

The room calmed down again, everything returned to its original state, the walls were smooth and flat, and there were no gaps or scars except for one place where the color was darker.

It was as calm as if nothing had happened.

"Are you sure it's this key?"

Cuihua asked.

The three stood on the top floor of the west building again, trying to use the key to open the mezzanine on the ceiling.

"These three keys represent three people, and the meanings behind the three people are different."

Shen Yu replied: "Zhang Lili's daughter is dead, and she doesn't even have a chance to be born. But the son born to Wu Jianyi and his lover can grow up healthy and healthy, and can be mischievous and run around in the corridor at will."

"So of course she hates this situation, so her anger evolved into a key." He picked out the key with the name "Wu Xiaobao" engraved on it, and handed it to Anonymous.

Anonymous turned the key in the keyhole slightly, and only heard a "click", and the interlayer was opened.

It's just that in the mezzanine, there is no corpse as they imagined. The space inside is so small and cramped that it cannot hide an adult's corpse at all.

Anonymous swept inside with his hands, only to hear a "clang clatter" sound, and a pile of bottles and jars fell down.

These are a bunch of black plastic bottles, which contain a kind of pale yellow powder, which seems to be some kind of chemical reagent, with labels on the outside of the bottles.

Shen Yu picked up a bottle and saw the name of the reagent written on the label.

"Luminol".

"What the hell is this?"

While he was hesitating, he saw Cuihua shout excitedly: "I see!"

"This is luminol. We used to find evidence at crime scenes. I understand what Zhang Lili means. I know where her body is!"

Shen Yu: "Crime scene? Looking for evidence?"

Fine! It seems that Cuihua is definitely related to government departments in real life.

Anonymous raised his hand to stop the excited Cuihua: "Continue talking."

Cuihua: "Even if the bloodstains at the crime scene have been cleaned, as long as the luminol solution is sprayed, the iron molecules left in the bloodstains will catalyze the luminescence reaction of luminol, which is especially obvious in the dark."

Shen Yu's eyes also brightened slightly: "That is to say, we only need to..."

"Don't miss any corner in the apartment." Anonymous said with a final word, "All the remaining people in the apartment should come and help."

Sprinkling the solution all over the apartment is a lot of work.

By the time everyone was done working, the sky had gradually darkened.

Under everyone's astonishing eyes, the original blood-red walls of the west building gradually emitted a faint blue gleam.

all the walls.

I don't know when, the doors of the apartment rooms opened one by one, and all the residents living in the west building stood at the door at this moment, looking desperately at the wall emitting blue light, without making a sound.

A heavy atmosphere began to pervade the apartment.

"The luminol reacts with the blood stains, and it emits blue light." Cuihua looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help muttering.

Shen Yu couldn't help but feel his heart tighten when he heard this.

He knew exactly where Zhang Lili's body was!

Ordinary people only think that Wu Jianyi built Zhang Lili's body in the wall or on the ceiling, but this method is actually not safe.

Corpses always stink and rot, and they will attract the attention of the police as well.

The best way is to make the corpse "not exist" at all.

Wu Jianyi has his own construction site, and there must be all kinds of tools on the site, so it is very convenient to dispose of the corpse.

Therefore, Zhang Lili's body was chopped up, stirred into a meat paste, mixed with cement, and smoothed over every part of the apartment during the renovation.

And so, the body disappeared.

The Pink Apartment was born.

"This is the end, this is the end of the apartment..."

At this time, the apartment manager came over tremblingly, looking at the gleaming wall of the west building, muttering as if collapsing.

Shen Yu suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled the others: "Let's go to the east building."

The newcomers are still ignorant, but Yiming and Cuihua also reacted in time, and hurriedly pulled all the newcomers away quietly.

But the administrator found them.

"They have the keys! The keys to get out of the apartment! Catch them!!" The administrator growled hoarsely, pointing at them with trembling fingers like chicken feet.

Now there was no need to urge any more, everyone ran away, trying their best to stay away from the West Building.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Behind them, countless house doors were slammed open, and groups of residents looked like mad dogs, showing sharp yellow teeth, biting behind them tightly, and their running postures were no longer human.

"Wait for us..."

"Give us back, give us back the key!"

"Stay, and you stay too!"

"Don't go..."

The crazy babbling and wailing sounds behind them were getting closer and closer to them, and countless doors opened "bang bang" in front of them, and the hideous and strange residents poured in like a tide.

Surround almost everyone!

But at this moment, the real tide of blood came.

The red blood threads peeled off from the wall, like sticky spider webs, and like layers of turbulent blood waves, surging towards the direction of the residents, sweeping everyone inside.

"I'm here, I've always been here, I've always been by your side... how can you get rid of me!" The woman's resentful voice was heard clearly in the ears of all the residents.

Residents seem to be ants tumbling in boiling water, struggling and screaming, but in the end they can only gradually sink.

But the sea of blood bypassed Shen Yu and the others.

Grasping this one-of-a-kind moment, Shen Yu, Yiming, and Cuihua grabbed the frightened newcomers and escaped from the west building in one breath.

Occasionally, a few residents who were lucky enough not to be engulfed by the sea of blood followed behind them like a bereaved dog.

"Where are we going now?" Cuihua asked.

"No. 444, East Building, hurry up!"

Shen Yu opened the way ahead, and took out another key from his pocket.

No. 444 was originally Zhang Lili's home, but as a third party, Zhao Axiang occupied it openly, and turned the original hostess away, so the key with the name "Zhao Axiang" engraved...

The door of room 444, which could not be opened before, was close in front of him. Shen Yu inserted the keyhole as fast as he could and turned it.

"Click!"

The door opened.

Unknown and Cuihua stuffed all the newcomers who were panting behind them into the room, and then closed the door heavily, blocking the door.

The residents behind were locked out of the door, and all of them immediately lay on the door, beating and roaring frantically.

Among them, the apartment manager was also among them. At this time, he was desperately digging the crack of the door, and screamed in a hoarse voice: "Open the door, I can give you a generous reward... You can do whatever you want, let me in!"

The door of the room was smashed and rattled.

The newcomers in the room were in a mess, Cuihua held down these panicked people, turned her head and asked quickly: "We still have a key and the last door."

As long as the final "door" is opened, they can escape this horror story.

Anonymous pressed the door of the house, Cuihua pressed the rookie who made trouble, everything inside and outside the house was in chaos, and the final exit was unknown!

Shen Yu took a deep breath, poured out the last mint candy from the candy box, threw it into his mouth, and let the cold sweetness spread on the tip of his tongue.

He opened his black book again.

[Thirteen brave cleaners step into the pink apartment.]

[The deceased stayed in the apartment, and there were six survivors left.]

[They cleaned the apartment, now it's time to leave.]

[But be careful, she also wants to leave here!]

She also wants to get out of here... Who is "she"

Caretakers and residents outside the door

No, it says "she," not "they" or "they."

So who else wants to leave

Shen Yu was thinking quickly while scanning the room.

When his eyes glanced at the large wardrobe in the room, he paused.

This is a heavy solid wood wardrobe, it looks very strong, it is big enough to hold a person, and the workmanship is tight, leaving almost no gaps for breathing.

This is... the wardrobe that smothered Zhang Lili

The meanings behind the three keys are different. Wu Xiaobao's key opened the mezzanine, and Zhao Axiang's key opened the door.

And what does the murderer of Zhang Lili, Wu Jianyi, who beat her and deprived her of her freedom, symbolize

He took out the last key and opened the wardrobe with a "click".

The wardrobe was empty, but the wooden boards were covered with scratches stained with blood.

Before she died, Zhang Lili left these scratches in powerless despair amidst bursts of suffocation.

The bottom of the closet was a dark hole, and there was no way to see where it could lead.

Anonymous who was blocking the door glanced back, and then shouted in a low voice: "The exit is open, you guys go first!"

Cuihua didn't refuse, and pushed the hesitant newcomers to the closet, and then kicked those who dared not jump into it one by one.

After the couple fell into the closet, they all disappeared.

Cuihua also jumped in afterward.

At this moment, the residents outside who were still pounding on the door suddenly let out another burst of screams.

The bloodshot had already swallowed the entire west building, and now it chased to the east building, and once again devoured a few caught fish.

But after all the residents were eliminated, the bloodshot didn't leave. Instead, they lingered outside the door of No. 444, tentatively getting into the gap of the door.

Anonymous turned to look at Shen Yu: "Still leaving?"

Shen Yu: "What about you?"

Holding a blade, Anonymous cut off the blood that had penetrated the door one by one: "Zhang Lili wants revenge, and we have already done so for her, but she still wants to leave here through the exit."

In the pink apartment, not only the residents in the apartment are trapped, Zhang Lili is also deeply trapped in it.

She is the apartment and the apartment is her.

"The other side of the exit is our world, I can't let her invade our world, you go first." Anonymous said again.

Just as he was speaking, more blood seeped in, and the thin door was crumbling.

"our world?"

Shen Yu murmured, but didn't ask any more questions, just took a deep look at him, then turned and jumped into the closet.

Just a second before falling into the endless darkness, he heard the sound of the door cracking.
