I was overwhelmed by the darkness, and I couldn't tell the way, but I could feel a pair of eyes watching me in the dark hallway.The rain slid down my sideburns, and my heart raced, and I reacted in a fraction of a second, stomping my foot sharply.The dim light came from the first floor, and this faint light gave me a little security."
Grandma, who are you waiting for so late?"
I tugged at the corners of my mouth and squeezed out a smile and turned around.Outside the iron door was a layer of dried wormwood and a layer of barbed wire, and the foot of the door was rusty and splashed with some red paint, which looked like coagulated blood beads from a distance.The big red wooden door inside was pulled open against the wall, and the old man stood in the doorway, his wrinkled face clinging to the barbed wire outside, and his white-eyed eyes staring straight at me."
You......
You can't be waiting for me, right?
”I paused, and realized that after all this time, the old man's eyes had never blinked.Is she blind?
The atmosphere in the corridor was very strange, and the old man did not speak after a long time, and instead of answering my question, she said something very strange."
You're here for someone?"
The hoarse, scrub-like voice made people tremble when they heard it, and I was about to prevaricate casually, and the reasons I made up were all on my lips, when a thought suddenly flashed through my mind: "Yes, I did come to find someone!"
She wasn't wrong, but I never told anyone about it, so how did she, a blind old lady, know?
”Taking a breath of cool air, I neither admitted nor denied: "Grandma, why do you say that I am here to find someone?"
”"Our people never turn on the lights when they go upstairs, so you are from outside, Longchang community is not easy to find, you come all the way over, what else can you find if you don't look for someone?"
The old man's voice was getting lower and lower, and although her appearance was a little terrifying, and her voice was hoarse and ugly, it could be heard from her voice that she had no malicious intent."
Go upstairs and don't turn on the lights?
Can you see the road clearly in the dark?
”I muttered a few words, and then explained to the old man, "You misunderstood, I met one of your residents halfway, she was drunk, and I was worried that something would happen to her on the way, so I decided to send her home." ”I grabbed the woman with one hand, she was emaciated, and her whole body didn't weigh much together."
If you're not here looking for someone, then hurry up, it's dark at night."
The old man's eyes were always in one direction, and I thought she was looking at me, but when I moved my body, I realized that she was just looking at the dark staircase, as if expecting someone to come up from downstairs.Is she really waiting for someone?
All kinds of questions came to mind, and I thought for a moment and decided to ask in person: "Grandma, who are you waiting for?"
”"Wait for someone."
The conversation was stuck in a loop, and I knew she didn't want to say it, so I didn't force it: "You pay more attention to your body, don't catch a cold." ”After saying that, I dragged the woman and continued to walk upstairs, and as soon as I reached the middle of the second and third floors, the voice-activated lights on the first floor went out again.This time I prepared in advance, and I didn't panic too much, I remembered what the old man just said, their residents here never turn on the lights when they go upstairs, I don't know what special meaning there is in this for the time being, but everything must have a reason, so I decided to follow the local customs, and did not make too much noise, slowed down, used the judgment eye, and walked up step by step in the dark.The dark corridor, the closed and gloomy space, standing in it, as long as you are a normal person, you will inevitably be cranky."
The live broadcast task of the show is for me to go to the Longchang community at midnight and early in the morning and survive until dawn, and the location in the mission should be here.According to the information I got from the restaurant owner, the pig cage apartment and the Longchang community said that the same location, which means that the show anchor may live in this blood-red apartment building. ”"The two are in the same place, why did the show give me such a task?
Is it there to help me?
”I don't think the show would do anything like this, it must have its own purpose for posting this task to me!
As soon as I entered the Red Mansion, I didn't go far when I met the old man who behaved abnormally and only had the whites of his eyes, which can be called a strange start.It's not early in the morning, the live broadcast hasn't started yet, the real danger is still lurking in the hidden corner, and I feel uneasy for no reason.Whether it's a drunken woman or a blind old man, I'm sure they're all alive, and that's what bothers me the most.I hate dealing with demons in human skin more than dealing with ghosts, who are shrewd and cunning, and often kill people invisibly."
Be careful, tonight has just begun, but I can take advantage of this drunken woman in my hand, she is a tenant here, and she should know the community very well."
Thinking of this, I frowned, that show anchor is most likely also a tenant here, and there are so many people living in the whole building, it is too difficult to find him."
Theoretically, anyone in the apartment could be a show host."
I glanced down at the drunken woman: "Including this Youling.
Anyone including women with abuse complexes must be investigated clearly. ”It was almost impossible for me to investigate all the tenants overnight, so I had to ask for help.While I was thinking, a dim light suddenly came from downstairs, and the voice-activated light on the first floor turned on inexplicably."
Someone passing by?"
I didn't make any sound, it couldn't be me who turned on the light.Staring at the dilapidated hallway, I always felt that something had entered the hallway under the flickering lights.I threw the drunken woman on the ground and was about to go down to check with my judgment eyes, when the old man who lived on the second floor suddenly took a few steps back and locked the wooden door inside with a wave of his hand."
What's the situation?"
I stood at the corner of the second and third floors, looking at the big red wooden door of the old grandmother's house, the Adam's apple rolling, and I didn't know what to do.Although she scared me just now, she didn't close the door, at least she made me feel that there was someone with me in this cave."
Could it be that the person she was waiting for has already arrived?"
I looked up to the first floor, and the cracked wall skin looked like hideous smiling faces, and the floor tiles were incomplete, with only the shoe prints of me and a drunken woman: "No one came in, why did the voice-activated lights suddenly turn on?"
Aging lines?
”I can't see anything wrong with my judgment, and I don't know if someone is doing something bad or if something bad is really going on."
Grandma said she was waiting for someone, and now the voice-activated light on the first floor is on, not only did she not open the door, but she also locked the door, isn't it the person she is waiting for who comes in?"
I couldn't figure it out, but when the voice-activated lights went out, I turned around and walked towards the third floor, and after just taking a few steps, I suddenly felt a very itchy neck, and I reached out and scratched it, as if a woman's hair was floating on the back of my neck.At first I didn't pay attention to it, but after a few more steps, I realized that something was wrong.How could the drunken woman have just been thrown against the wall by me, and her hair could have floated to the back of my neck?
If not her, then who would it be?!
With my back to the wall, I jerked my head to see that there was nothing in the dark hallway.I'm sure it wasn't a delusion: "Back of the neck?
Could it be that ......" slowly raised my head, and I looked up, and the scene of something lying on top of my head did not appear, it was pitch black, and there was nothing."
This Red Mansion is too evil, isn't it?"
I don't know who said a long time ago that if you feel inexplicably scared in a corridor without lights, don't look back, run all the way home, because the more people think about it, the more likely something will appear.Lifting the drunken woman in one hand, I strode upstairs.There should also be people living on the third floor, some of the iron doors are pasted with something like dog blood, and used tissues are thrown on the ground."

It is a sin to dwell in this place."
I went to the fourth floor in one go, and it was this floor that the drunken woman had shown me at the time.But when I came, I had another hard time.There are three occupants on each floor, and I don't know exactly which room the woman lives in."
Hey, wake up!"
I shook the woman's shoulder, she didn't react, I remember the strange scenes that just happened, I really don't want to stay in this dark corridor."
Offended."
I fumbled with one hand over her, quickly digging a key out of her pants pocket.The red rope was wearing an old-fashioned copper key with badly worn edges that looked like it had been used for a long time."
These three iron doors are of the same style, and there is not much dust in the opening and closing of the doors, indicating that there are people living in the three rooms."
I couldn't find any more clues, so I had to try my luck, and I picked the iron door near the staircase, took the key, and walked over.Only the first floor of the red building has voice-activated lights, and now the corridor is pitch black, and if I don't have a judgment eye, I can't even find the keyhole.After trying a few times, the woman's copper key simply wouldn't fit in.The sound of keys and iron door keyholes was very clear in the dead hallway, and I was about to turn around to change the next one, when suddenly there was a strange noise in the room in front of me.It was a strange sound, like a knife cutting through a sack.I stopped outside this door, no longer making any sound, and the true qi poured up to the acupuncture points behind my ears to listen to the sounds in the room.A minute or two later, there was the sound of soft footsteps in the room, and then the large red wooden door was pulled open by a thin slit.Through the crack, I saw a middle-aged man with dirty hair, bloodshot eyes, and a foul smell lying behind the door, he was very cautious, as if he was doing something unseemly."
I'm here to take this girl home, you're her neighbor, you should know which room she lives in, right?"
I put my arm around the woman and lifted her up.The man hid behind the wooden door, silent, staring at me with scarlet eyes.
