When the others heard Shen Yu's words, they were stunned at first, and then they all showed expressions of "Why are you so pretentious".

Xu Jiaojiao widened her eyes in horror: "Are you crazy?"

Her expression at this time was so anxious that she was about to jump up: "Why do you want to exchange with this kind of person? This person is a bastard, so bad that it is bleeding, and it is not worth saving at all! Don't take your own life..."

At this time, the short-haired girl put her hand on Xu Jiaojiao's shoulder, stopping her next words.

As for the man with glasses, as if he was afraid that Shen Yu would go back on his word, he hurriedly grabbed the pink key, but said with a smile on his lips: "Brother, whoever said that you will die if you live in the east building, you don't have to be afraid at all." ,It's fine!"

He had been advocating that being alone would lead to death and that the east building was dangerous, but now he changed his tone and started talking nonsense.

He stretched out his hand to Anonymous next to Shen Yu, as if he wanted to pull the little boy to his side: "Don't worry, just leave the child to me, I will take care of him and protect him..."

Anonymous dodged, avoiding the glasses man's hand with a little disgust.

"I'll go to the east building with him." The little guy said expressionlessly.

The eye-eyed man was taken aback: "But you are two people, there is no single order, how can you go to the east building according to the rules..."

"Which rule stipulates that only those who are alone are eligible to spend the night in the east building?" Shen Yu interrupted him coldly, "Everyone before was misled by your initial conclusion."

"The administrator of this apartment asked us to assign rooms by ourselves. Although there is only one red key, she never said that only those who are excluded can get the red key."

"There is nothing to show that living in the east building will constitute a condition of death."

He stared at the red key in his hand, and said calmly: "After all, the two people who died last night, one lived in the east building and the other lived in the west building, both encountered fatal danger because they opened the doors and windows at night."

After a few words, the previous theory of the man with glasses was completely overturned, and now he stood there in a daze, his face turning red and blue.

He became angry and wanted to attack, but he didn't dare, and finally gave up.

And the short-haired girl who had been listening carefully, clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "What a discovery! Much smarter than some self-righteous idiots!"

The face of the man with glasses became even more gloomy.

The short-haired girl gave him a disdainful look, and only asked Shen Yu and the other two: "You asked for it tonight because you think the next clue is in the east building?"

Shen Yu glanced at her with a little surprise, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not sure yet, so I'll dig it out first, and then I'll make a conclusion."

If they want to get information in the West Building, they have to knock on doors and ask apartment residents. At the end of the day, not only is it dangerous, but also the information obtained is not much.

But the administrator said that the red key can open all the doors in the east building.

In this way, the efficiency of collecting information can be faster.

That's why Shen Yu and Anonymous decided to go to the east building to search temporarily tonight, and the short-haired girl quickly guessed their intentions.

It has to be said that this young girl's insight is obviously much sharper than the other two veterans.

Seeing Shen Yu acquiescing, the short-haired girl didn't say anything more, she just looked at the two of them with veiled eyes, and after staying on Anonymous for two seconds, she looked away and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I wish you a safe night."

After finishing speaking, she dragged the bewildered Xu Jiaojiao away.

The rest of the people also left one after another. Before leaving, the grumpy man with flower arms lazily said loudly: "After a day of tossing, my bones are numb. I can go to sleep now."

The yellow-haired boy was beside him, smiling cautiously: "Brother, didn't I do all your work today?"

"Yes, yes, after I go out, I will definitely benefit from you, kid." The flower-armed man walked away perfunctorily.

Only the man with glasses was left standing alone, holding the pink key in his hand.

He stared coldly at the direction in which Shen Yu and the others were leaving, his eyes were filled with suppressed anger, his teeth were gnashing, and after enduring it, he snorted coldly, held the key tightly and left.

Whether the east building is dangerous or not, let those two idiots explore the way first, anyway, I have nothing to lose.

Of course, it would be even better if those two guys died directly in the East Building.

The man with glasses comforted himself in his heart.

There are many rooms in the east building, but there is not much time left for Shen Yu and the two of them.

"There are still twenty minutes left before the lights are turned off. How many rooms do we have left?"

Shen Yu opened a room again, entered it and searched it quickly, but still didn't find much valuable things.

The east building is not only dilapidated and dark, but there are no people living in those locked rooms.

The residents of the apartment seemed to have all moved to the beautifully decorated west building and abandoned the dilapidated east building.

Anonymous came out from another room at this time, holding a yellowed newspaper in his hand, "We have searched four floors, and there are still two floors that have not been searched."

The east and west floors have the same number of floors, both of which are six floors.

"En." Shen Yu responded, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Wait!"

He turned his head solemnly and asked, "Do you still remember the rules ordered by the corridor manager the night before?"

Anonymous: "You can't open the doors and windows at night, you can't go out after the lights are turned off, you can't be polite to the apartment residents, you can't take the broken elevator, and you can't be lazy about cleaning?"

Shen Yu: "Just behind the fact that the cleaning work can't be lazy, what else did the administrator say?"

"You can't be lazy, you must clean all the seven floors of the apartment..." At this point, Anonymous suddenly stopped and frowned.

"Apartment seven floors..." he murmured.

But no matter the east building or the west building, there are only six floors!

Where is the missing seventh floor

Shen Yu was also thinking about this question. While thinking, he held the red gun and opened the next door inertially.

"Click!"

The key turned in the lock, but was blocked by the lock.

"Huh?" Shen Yu was surprised and continued to turn the key, but the door in front of him was not opened by the red key like other doors.

He pulled out the key and looked up at the house number in front of him.

Room 444.

What an ominous number.

The red key can open all the rooms in the east building, but the number 444 in front of them is the only door they can't open at present.

Anonymous also came over, staring at the house number 444 for a long time, and suddenly found the old newspaper he had just found.

He found an inconspicuous missing person notice in the gaps in the newspaper.

"Looking for the Runaway Wife"

[My lover Zhang Lili, after a quarrel with me on October 3rd, she ran away in anger and has not returned yet. ]

[Zhang Lili is 24 years old, about 1.6 meters tall, with a thin body, medium-length hair, ordinary appearance, a slight accent when speaking, wearing a white coat when she left home. ]

[I hope good-hearted people find out and contact me in time. ]

[Contact: xxxxxxxxxxx. ]

[Contact address: xx construction site, or 444 Pink Apartment. ]

[Contact: Wu Jianyi. ]

He stared closely at the missing persons revelation, and then looked up at the house number 444.

"A clue appeared." He said, and then handed the newspaper to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu took it and quickly glanced at it.

Wu Jianyi, who was listed on the missing persons notice, lived at No. 444 of this apartment, and the contact address also wrote xx construction site, obviously his occupation was related to the construction site.

"Master Wu" who painted and decorated the pink apartment for free is the foreman of the construction site and an old resident of the apartment.

The identity is right.

"Let me remind you that it's less than a minute before the lights are turned off." At this time, Anonymous said from the side.

When thinking, time seems very short.

Shen Yu was thinking about the clues he had just obtained, when he heard this sentence, he suddenly woke up, and hurriedly opened a random door with the red key, and then dragged Unknown to hide in.

Just when the two of them locked the door, the lights in the room went out suddenly, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

"Crackling..."

Outside the window, there was another sound of scratching the glass.

Today, the sound outside the window came earlier, and the movement was noisier.

The monster outside the window seemed to be in a panic.

Anonymous lowered his voice, leaned into Shen Yu's ear and said, "The clues we just collected are correct."

The closer they are to the truth of the matter, the more anxious the ghosts tend to react. "

Shen Yu glanced at the slightly shaking window, and pursed his lips: "The reaction is too strong, I'm really afraid that it will scratch the glass directly."

The monster outside the window continued to harass for a while, but it probably found that it didn't work, so it quieted down, only making a slight rustling sound in the silent night.

After a while, a pleading female voice came from outside the window: "I beg you, help me!"

"The bald man and the man wearing glasses, the two of them teamed up secretly and suddenly attacked us in the middle of the night. My companion is already dead, and now they are coming to kill me, and I managed to escape."

It turned out to be the voice of a girl with short hair!

The pleading outside the window continued: "They are about to come after them. I only know you two kind-hearted people in the whole apartment. Please let me go in and hide for a while, save me! I don't want to die!!"

In the darkness, Shen Yu and Anonymous looked at each other in surprise.

"That thing...does it really not know how bad its acting skills are?" Shen Yu complained expressionlessly.

"If that girl in the daytime knew that she had been acted like this by a monster, with her violent temper, she might tear the monster alive on the spot!" Anonymous continued without emotion.

"Please, let me in! Let me in, let me in... let me in..."

The noise outside the window remained the same. In the end, the monster seemed to be tearing its skin apart, and even changed its tone. It roared hoarsely and lowly, and smashed the window glass with a "bang bang bang".

But no matter how hard it tosses, it still stays firmly outside the window, never daring to take a step into the apartment.

"That blood monkey-like monster can run around in the apartment, attacking and killing people at will. But why doesn't the monster outside the window dare to enter the apartment and only dare to trick people into opening the window?"

Shen Yu thought to himself.

"Is it really that scary, that weird guy knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"

Before Shen Yu could figure it out, there was finally another dull dragging sound in the deadly corridor outside.

Shen Yu and his spirits lifted.

coming!

The weird man dragging the coffin came to their door as usual, and began knocking on the door persistently.

Once the door knocked, the sound outside the window stopped abruptly.

Shen Yu still leaned over at the door as before, observing the scene outside the door from the crack of the door.

The soles of the feet that appeared outside the door were still blue from the cold, but there were no open wounds. Instead, they were fat and bloated. The toenails were even painted with red, inferior nail polish.

Shen Yu, who was spying, opened his eyes slightly in shock.

No, not right!

What appeared now was a pair of women's feet. But last night, what appeared in front of the door was clearly the sole of a man's foot.

Two different weirdos showing up twice

But no matter which weirdo it was, they all dragged a small coffin behind them.

Anonymous, who was also observing at the side, suddenly took out a blade after a short thought.

The shiny and sharp scalpel is just right for children to hold. The shiny blade looks like a narrow mirror.

He put the scalpel under the crack of the door, and with the reflection of the blade, he had a glimpse of the panorama outside the door.

An obese middle-aged woman, eyes slightly closed, like a puppet, stood with a dull expression, with a hemp rope on her shoulders, dragging the coffin behind her.

Shen Yu and Shen Yu had just met this woman not long ago.

It is the apartment dwellers who let them in and clean during the day.

But why is she here

Anonymous turned the blade carefully, and peeked at the coffin behind the woman from another angle.

It was a very small coffin, which could not be squeezed in by an adult. The patterns on it were very gorgeous. There was no coffin lid, and a small baby was sitting inside.

The baby's head was exposed from the coffin. It was red all over and had wrinkled features. It looked uglier than newborn babies, and its body was smaller than ordinary babies. Not cut.

The baby looked around, as if looking for something, and then tapped the coffin lightly.

Then, the dull-looking apartment resident stopped knocking on the door, like a walking corpse, barefoot, dragging a heavy coffin, moving with difficulty, and gradually disappeared.

After one person and one baby left, Shen Yu and his wife let out a soft breath.

"We made a mistake in our deduction before." Anonymous said suddenly.

"The weird man outside knocking on the door every night is just a tool man who drags the coffin, even if it changes every night, it's no different." He frowned and said.

"But the baby sitting in the coffin is the leader, and it is also the reason why the monster outside the window is afraid."
