Chapter 21 New Neighbors
"Well. Since you have provided me with so much information now, you should be able to find some clues about that year."
Lu Zhao hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell Meng Qitong about this: "By the way, do you know? Before you were killed, my grandfather had collected a lot of money. On August 1st, he took my grandmother to leave Hong Kong..."
Lu Zhao was very nervous. Although the person who took action against Meng Qitong was not his grandfather, based on what she told her just now, it is not ruled out that his grandfather also participated in the murder and received the benefits of the murderer.
Otherwise, how could everything happen so coincidental?
And if this is true, Meng Qitong might feel resentful and vent her anger on her.
Although there is no other reasonable explanation at present, and saying it directly may put yourself in danger; Lu Zhao always feels that his grandfather should not do such a thing. If he kept hiding it from Meng Qitong, if she discovered this past in time, she would not have a good ending.
If you want to figure out grandpa’s secrets and where the family curse comes from, Meng Qitong is definitely the key link.
Therefore, you cannot hide anything.
Sure enough, after he asked, Meng Qitong nodded calmly, with a little admiration in her eyes: "I gave that money to Lu Jie. I didn't mean to say this, just to see if you would choose to hide it because you were afraid of being retaliated by me. Now it seems that you, like Lu Jie, are trustworthy people."
After hearing her words, Lu Zhao felt relieved and continued to ask: "Why do you want to give my grandfather money? He took his grandmother out of Hong Kong, which is what you mean?"
"Sorry, I don't remember these things at all." Meng Qitong looked confused.
It is precisely because she lacks the most important part of her memory and is limited in movement that she still cannot remember who the murderer was, nor can she leave Room 503.
Under such torture, Meng Qitong's resentment increased day by day. It's no wonder Grandma Li persuaded her at the beginning and refused to let Lu Zhao get close to the fifth floor.
"Grandma Li said that my grandfather was plagued by curses and died of weakness. At first, I suspected that this was some kind of supernatural power, but now it seems that everything is far from that simple."
Lu Zhao looked at Meng Qitong with a firm look: "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter to the end. Since the murderer can try to imprison your soul here, he should be the one who cursed my grandfather. Helping you is helping me."
"Thank you." Meng Qitong's eyes moved slightly, and her tone was not as cold as before.
"I have another question: Why did my father and brother leave information about the Wansen Building before they died? Are they influenced by you?" Lu Zhao asked the other party.
Meng Qitong did not hide it, pointed to the ring in his hand and said, "Because it."
Lu Zhao raised his hand in surprise and looked at the jade ring. This was the relic left by his brother. Before that, it was passed down by his father.
"Did you give this ring to my grandfather?" Lu Zhao suddenly reacted: "Where did it come from?"
Meng Qitong shook her head: "I don't know. But after my death, this ring has become a medium connecting me and your family for some reason. Over the years, I have tried to summon your father and brother. Their effects are very little. Even if they enter a dream, they cannot receive the message I want to convey. After that, their physical constitution awakens and are possessed by resentful spirits. Even I can do nothing. The only thing I can do is to let them leave the message of the Wangsen Building and warn their descendants."
After hearing Meng Qitong say it, Lu Zhao felt mixed feelings. He found this place because of the information left by his father and brother.
"Your physique and inspiration are far stronger than your father, brother and other tribesmen in your family. It is precisely because of this that you could see me in your dream four years ago."
Meng Qitong walked to Lu Zhao, stared into his eyes and said, "This is why you have awakened the Yin-Yang Eye and the ability to communicate with others in advance, even though you are not yet 27 years old."
The spiritual communication mentioned by Meng Qitong refers to Lu Zhao's previous experience of Lin Yue'e during her lifetime in a dream and directly talked with the spirit body.
"But this also means that you will encounter more and more dangers in the future, no matter where you go."
Meng Qitong said: "But now, you have passed my test. Although you can't help you unravel the curse, from today on, I will do my best to ensure you are safe and sound in the past three months."
"What does it mean?" Before Lu Zhao could finish his words, Meng Qitong grabbed his hand.
Lu Zhao shivered suddenly. Although he knew that the other party was no longer a human, he never thought that he could touch her.
Meng Qitong's skin was soft and cold. When she came into contact with her, Lu Zhao suddenly noticed a red light lit up from the jade ring. Immediately afterwards, her figure also faded a little.
"Although my soul cannot leave this room, it can separate a part of its consciousness and attach to this jade ring. From now on, I will be by your side." Meng Qitong said calmly: "If you encounter danger next time, I can also provide some help."
In the early morning, a sound of communication came from outside the corridor. Because the building is not very soundproof, the movement outside can be clearly heard.
Lu Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the sofa. Thinking of his dream last night, he immediately picked up the jade ring he placed on the coffee table before going to bed.
Unlike before, the touch of the ring becomes colder. Not only that, a touch of bright red flows through the jade body, which looks like it has vitality.
"It seems that what she said is true. Belle Dance Hall... Let's check it out here first."
Lu Zhao turned the ring and was still thinking about how to sort out the whole thing. Uncle Zhong’s hearty laugh suddenly sounded outside the corridor.
Thinking of someone he was talking to just now, accompanied by a crisp jingle of the key, Lu Zhao suddenly heard the door of the 05th household next door being opened.
Lu Zhao's thoughts were pulled back suddenly. He looked at the bedroom: The wall he had been chiseled yesterday had not been repaired yet, and it was because of this that he slept on the sofa all night.
Now that Lin Yue'e and Zhou Guangsheng's souls have just left, is there something wrong?
Thinking of this, Lu Zhao hurriedly put on his slippers and opened the door.
At this moment, the door of the 05th household next door was open, and Uncle Zhong was standing outside the door and was talking to a young man.
After hearing the movement, Uncle Zhong and the young man subconsciously turned around. When they met their eyes, Lu Zhao realized that the man was actually a medical student who came to see the renting house yesterday.
"Hello, I didn't expect to meet again." The young man smiled at Lu Zhao. The latter was still in a confused state and nodded in confusion, as if he was responding to the other party.
"Why, you know each other?" Uncle Zhong asked.
Before Lu Zhao could speak, the young man responded first: "Yes, I've seen it twice before."
As he said, half of his body leaned into the house and asked Uncle Zhong: "If it's convenient, can I go in and check out the apartment type?"
"Of course." Uncle Zhong stretched out his hand and made a "please" posture.
After the young man entered the house, Lu Zhao hurried forward and lowered his voice: "Uncle Zhong, why did you take him to see this house on this floor!"
"Hasn't Lin Yue'e left?" Uncle Zhong held his hands behind his back, looked at the young man in the room with a smile, and responded calmly: "This room is safe now, so it can naturally be introduced to the new tenant."
"But..." Lu Zhao wanted to say something, but the young man had already walked out with excitement and asked Uncle Zhong, "Is the monthly rent for such a good house really only 3,500 yuan?"
"Of course. This place was a famous haunted house before, and many people were scared away because of the haunting." Uncle Zhong glanced at Lu Zhao and did not hide it: "If you are taboo, you can look at the sixth floor again, there are still a few empty houses on it."
"No, let's do it!" The young man's attitude was very straightforward: "We those who study medicine do not believe in these ghosts and gods."
"But there is no elevator directly on the 5a floor, so it is not convenient if you want to move."
Uncle Zhong originally took the other party to visit the empty rooms on the floor as usual, but he never expected that the young man in front of him would directly select 05 households.
"I only have one suitcase and no big furniture, so it's very convenient to move it over." The young man glanced at the house rental contract in his hand and smiled shyly: "There are 05 households in these rooms, and there are acquaintances next door... I think it's very suitable!"
"Then are you sure? I'll contact Mr. Ma, you can come to sign the contract tomorrow morning." After confirming with the young man repeatedly, Uncle Zhong walked aside, took out his cell phone and started to make a phone call.
On the other side, the young man looked at the room with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to Lu Zhao in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot to introduce myself. Hello, my name is Gu Yunsheng. I will officially move to you from tomorrow. Please take care of you in the future!"
"Well..." After briefly introducing himself for two sentences, Lu Zhao also stretched out his hand.
The overly enthusiastic and cheerful young man in front of him seemed particularly out of place with this building that revealed strange, weird and lifeless.
Now there is no problem with households 05, so it’s okay for the other party to move in.
Lu Zhao always thought the residents in this building were very strange: Take the 5a where he was. He had six families in total, but when he moved to the present, he had never seen anyone except the young mother named Feng Xinyun in 01.
Of course, Feng Xinyun was also very silly when speaking, and she looked unnatural.
People like Gu Yunsheng moved in, which made the place more angry. At least, the ones who live next door are finally living.
