Title IV Chapter 54 The Past
"Cymbidium, give her the cloud insects medical treatment." Zhang Chen saw that the middle-aged woman sitting in the rocking chair had not completely lost her vital signs, so he thought of the cloud insects that could treat the host.
A milky white flesh worm was put into the middle-aged woman's mouth from the hands of the firefly. After a while, the other party's face became bloody. After Zhang Chen used his pseudo-blood demon body to absorb the blood on the woman's body, the other party almost woke up.
"Hello, Auntie, we are here to help you." Zhang Chen said politely.
"Haha, I'm no longer saved. The fire cannot be covered. The things I did wrong will one day be retaliated. Now I've hurt someone again. I'm really guilty." As he said that, the middle-aged woman suddenly stood up from the chair and came to the cushion of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and knelt down.
"Auntie, why not tell me the details of the matter, we might have a way to help you solve it." Zhang Chen knew that such a person was close to the verge of collapse, and it was useless to say too much nonsense. So he used his mind to wrap the middle-aged woman kneeling on the ground and moved her directly to the sofa.
"You... are you accomplices of that boy?" The woman looked at Zhang and Chen in horror, especially Zhu Ying's white hair, which made the other party feel even more scared.
"I said we are here to help you. If you tell us the whole story, maybe we can help you cut off all this." Zhang Chen used mental control to hint to women, because he is currently very unfamiliar with mental control. If he completely controls the other party, it will consume unnecessary energy and have a great impact on the battle in a while.
"Okay." The woman's horrified eyes became calm under Zhang Chen's hint, and then slowly opened her mouth and began to recall the past.
"This house is the earliest building built on the Third Ring Road. At that time, because my family is relatively wealthy and the price of this house is not high, I decided to buy them all. Except for the room I live in, I will rent and sell the other eleven rooms."
"As the urban area develops very quickly, the commercial coverage has quickly expanded to the inner third ring road. Many outsiders who come to work in the urban area rent houses here, and they earned their capital back in two years."
"The good times didn't last long. Not long after, the young man from the room on the left side of the top floor went to another company, so he moved out of me. It happened that a couple contacted me that they wanted to rent on the top floor for a long time. After seeing the house, they paid me a year's rent."
"I was naturally a little strange at the beginning, because the seemingly thin woman had a slightly bulge in her belly, which was obviously a sign of pregnancy. I didn't ask much at that time, thinking that they must have come from the countryside to work in the city, and because their wife is pregnant, they need a stable and comfortable environment. Who knows, this is the beginning of the nightmare..."
The middle-aged woman said this, her eyes full of regret.
"A few months later, the pregnant woman gave birth successfully. As the landlord, I am quite friendly to the tenants here. When their family came back from the hospital that day, I brought some fruits from the house to visit."
"Who knew that the man who opened the door had a gloomy face. After taking my fruit, he wanted to turn me out. I thought something was strange, so I entered the room under the pretext of checking the lunar water meter. When I passed by their dormitory, I saw a woman holding her newborn baby, but the baby's hands looked a little strange. After counting carefully, I found that the baby's hands were actually six fingers. No wonder the father at the door looked like this."
"After the confinement period, my wife went to and from get off work with her husband. However, the two were very friendly, and from that day on, they would never say hello, no matter when they met other tenants or when they met me, and sometimes they would not even raise their heads. At first, I thought that the couple would become like this after having a deformed child, but the result was not as I thought..."
"As a child was about two years old, the tenant living opposite the family reported to me that in the middle of the night there were often broken things and screams and cries. Out of etiquette, I did not ask the other party what was going on. I hope that as the landlord, I can come forward to react to the situation."
"I came to the family that afternoon. After the door opened, the couple seemed to have not been asleep all night. They had very obvious dark circles in their eyes. Moreover, the two of them who were just over thirty looked almost the same as those of forty. However, when I told them about the situation of the tenant's reaction, the couple still signaled to pay attention as much as possible, and then hurriedly closed the door. At the moment when the door was closed, I saw an ugly little boy in the gap, standing by the dormitory door staring straight at me."
"After a year, even the two tenants on the fourth floor began to report to me about the crying and noise coming from the house on the fifth floor in the middle of the night. The tenants also began to discuss in private whether it was because of their son's deformity that the couple abused children in the middle of the night."
"The rumors about this speculation are getting bigger and bigger. The tenants all came to me and said they wanted to go to that room to find out what happened at night. If it was really abusing children, it would be a big deal. In order not to let these old tenants leave, I took the spare key that night and went to the top floor with a few strong male tenants and opened the door."
"Who knew that when he opened the door, there were countless yellow talisman papers scattered on the ground. At this moment, the cry of the child came out from the couple's bedroom. The tenants rushed up and knocked open the locked dormitory door. They saw two gray-haired elderly couples who were about to throw a three-year-old boy into a burning brazier full of talisman papers. After stopping the couple, they rescued the child in the brazier, but because their faces were severely burned, they died on the spot."
"A couple who are only thirty years old now look like they are in their sixties. After being stopped by the tenant, they keep shouting excitedly, 'I finally killed this damn monster'. I also remembered the strangeness I was staring at by the little boy's eyes before, but I didn't care too much, and were bound by inertial thinking. I just thought that the couple went crazy because of their son's deformity."
The middle-aged woman said this and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"That night, the police took the couple away, and the boy who died of burns was also dragged away by a car at the crematorium. Later, I heard that the couple had been diagnosed with varying degrees of mental disorder and were sent to a mental hospital for recuperation. I thought the matter had come to an end, but who knew that one night half a year later, a strange thing happened."
"I was awakened by the sirens outside the house while sleeping. The police came to the door and said that it was the tenant on the top floor who called the police, saying that two bodies were found in his rented house and asked me to go up with the spare key to find out. After opening the door, an extremely heavy smell of blood floated out. Finally, I found the bodies of the couple who should have been locked in the mental hospital and a white-haired old man hiding in the corner of the wall.
"That white-haired old man suddenly became a worker in his early twenties who had moved in a few days ago. However, there was no progress in the case, and the tenant also checked out in a crazy way. When he left, he kept saying something in front of me, "There will be a voice coming from the beginning of eleven o'clock, so don't be curious."
"Later, as long as the tenants who moved into that room would report this to me a few days ago, but at least three days, or five days. The tenants would become speechless. Most of them would disappear, and only a small number would come to check out with gray hair and mental disorders, and the words they said were similar."
"The local police naturally knew about this. At first, they thought I was the one who had to deal with the tenants. But there was no evidence, so they could only seal the rented house on the top floor to close the case."
"After these things happened, the neighbors nearby were naturally very clear about the rumors about the haunted building. Fewer and fewer people came to rent a house, and even some of my old tenants moved out. Now more than ten years have passed, the police's seizure order has expired. I decided to clean the house and publish the rental information, hoping to use the facts to recover my losses."
"But while cleaning, I accidentally found a long-clogged diary under the bed of the couple, which recorded the little boy's life after his birth."
"The diary began with the idea that although the child was born with disabilities, the couple decided to raise him. After all, they were both their own flesh and blood. But as the child grew up, the couple would find that the house was in a mess when they came home from get off work. At first, they thought they had a thief, but after sorting out the things, they found that nothing was lost."
"When feeding the boy, something will float and the faucet will automatically turn on. Once the boy even bites off his mother's ** while feeding his breasts. The couple found some gangsters and cast spells at home, but it was useless. Finally, they decided to kill the little boy with their own hands."
"I was also very surprised after reading it. It seemed that my idea was correct at the beginning. The problem was indeed the deformed boy. During the cleaning process, I didn't find anything unusual. I thought that everything should have been restored after so many years. So, I posted the rental information at a low price in the real estate agency center. Who knew that the matter was not over at all..."
Zhang Chen was also a little surprised when he heard this. He probably had the ghost in the room on the top floor. However, according to the landlord's account, the little boy seemed to have superpowers in his lifetime. This was the first time he had met him. No wonder he had such a strange space ability after he died less than twenty years.
"Is it the rare species that Liu Nuo mentioned?" Zhang Chen thought and asked at the same time.
“How many days have the tenants on the top floor moved in?”
"Today is the third night." The landlord said anxiously.
"At least three days, or five days at most? I don't know if there is any rescue. The firefly is ready. Let's go to the top floor to see the situation..."
