Chapter 3 Wangson Building

Just as he was thinking, outside the elevator, the old witch who had beaten villains at the intersection also pulled the trailer and staggered towards him.

A lot of things were piled up on the cart, and there was a red and blue woven bag. The old witch bent her body and walked slowly and hard. Lu Zhao didn't want to wait too much, so he quickly stepped forward to help the other party push the car into the car.

"Thank you." The old witch's eye socket was deep, the simple coarse cloth clothes were stained with some aged stains, and the black pants were covered with patch marks.

I don’t know what was in the woven bag on the trailer, and it smelled like fishy smell.

Although I smelled this smell, Lu Zhao did not ask what was in the bag, and there was no abnormality on the surface.

The old witch pressed the 6th floor. She glanced at Lu Zhao and slowly spoke, "Beautiful boy, come and rent a house?"

"Yes, mother-in-law." Lu Zhao asked, "I'm sorry to ask, why is there no 5A here?"

The old witch carried her back, coughed twice, and said in a hoarse voice: "Just call me Grandma Li. This building only has seven floors, but because Hong Kong people are afraid of the number 4, there are no four floors in the middle. You can sit on the sixth floor with me, walk down the stairs and you will arrive."

Lu Zhao thanked him and pressed the closing button.

"If you have the accent of the mainland, come to Hong Kong to study?" Grandma Li asked.

"No, I'm here to find someone." Lu Zhao replied.

"Where did you come from?"

"Dongyang City, a small third-tier city."

Grandma Li turned her eyes when she heard this, and her speech Cantonese turned into Mandarin. Although what she said was not very standard, she could understand it herself: "I know that my mother is from the mainland in this place."

She continued to ask, "Young man, which room do you live in?"

“5A, 06 households.”

The elevator slowly moved up, and Lu Zhao stared at the front without looking sideways, but he felt very uncomfortable. This strange grandma seemed to be very interested in herself. Since entering the elevator, she has been chasing her and asking questions.

His eyes were wandering, and he secretly prayed in his heart that the elevator would hurry to the sixth floor so that he could be free. But at this moment, through the reflection of the bright elevator door in front of him, Lu Zhao suddenly found that Grandma Li was always staring at him with a gloomy and cold expression.

"You shouldn't have come here." Grandma Li suddenly spoke: "Don't rent that house anymore."

"Why?" Lu Zhao suddenly felt a frustrated and looked at the other person.

Grandma Li sighed and did not explain: "Child, have you not inquired about this place with people nearby on the way to come? Listen to Grandma's advice, you must leave this building before 10 o'clock tonight."

Lu Zhao felt nervous, and then he realized that Grandma Li seemed to know something.

"Grandma, it's really up to me. I've paid the rent for three months. The landlord has collected the money and will not refund it again. I went to confirm the contract with someone tonight." Lu Zhao said carefully: "The agent has repeatedly guaranteed me that there is no problem with the house I rent."

Grandma Li sneered, and at the same time, the elevator prompted that the sixth floor was already here. It was pitch black outside, and it seemed that something was wrong with the sensing light.

"Grandma, where do you live?"

Seeing the other party's reaction, Lu Zhao decided to set some clues from the other party. After asking the grandma's address, he diligently turned on the lights of his mobile phone and helped the other party push the car to the door of 03.

In the darkness, Grandma Li suddenly grabbed Lu Zhao's sleeve:

"Child, I see that you are young and have a bad heart. Since you want to live here, you must remember these things: First, don't interact with residents here, especially when you encounter someone asking you to borrow something, don't agree no matter what the other party says. Second, don't touch anything in your house. Third, don't let outsiders enter the house after 10 o'clock every night, and don't leave your room."

"Why?" Lu Zhao asked: "From what you mean, this building doesn't seem to be clean?"

"There are some things that are not convenient for grandma to say. You have to remember these three points. Only in this way can you keep your safety!" Grandma Li stared at Lu Zhao with her turbid eyes, and her expression seemed to be afraid of something.

Although Lu Zhao had many doubts in his heart, Grandma Li was extremely determined. No matter how much she asked, the other party was determined not to reveal a word.

In desperation, he nodded and said solemnly: "I remember, thank you grandma."

"Every place has its own rules. If you don't follow the rules, you will definitely not end up well..." Grandma Li murmured, took out the key and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, an unpleasant fishy smell suddenly came from the air. This smell was exactly the same as the smell emitted from the woven bag on the car.

Lu Zhao had an ominous premonition. Grandma Li in front of him seemed not a simple person. After watching him enter the house, he turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly, a pair of thin, chicken feet-like hands stretched out from the crack of the door and grabbed Lu Zhao suddenly.

The hand was extremely cold, as warm as a dead person. Lu Zhao's heart tightened and he subconsciously turned around.

Grandma Li's ghostly face appeared behind the half-closed door, and her turbid eyes stared at her, as if she had something to say.

Lu Zhao's heart was almost about to jump into his throat. For a moment, he almost suspected that the grandma in front of him was not a human at all. He forced himself to calm down and asked quietly: "Grandma, is there anything else?"

"By the way, be careful of the security guard named Zhong. Don't believe what he said. Also, don't go to the fifth floor. Otherwise, you won't be able to survive for three months."

When Lu Zhao heard Grandma Li’s words and remembered her profession, he suddenly widened his eyes: Could it be that this old witch knows her own affairs?!

He was about to ask questions, but Grandma Li suddenly closed the door and no longer responded no matter how she called.

Lu Zhao stood in the dark for a few seconds, and at this moment he could even clearly hear his crazy beating heart. It seemed that he had indeed found the right place this time.

Maybe this Grandma Li can help him solve the things that have been bothering him!

Lu Zhao took out his cell phone and took a look at the time, 21:45.

Thinking of Grandma Li’s advice, he decided to go downstairs to sign the contract first. Anyway, he still has time, so it would not be too late to ask her about the matter when he got along with Grandma in the future.

At this moment, the faulty sensing light above the head suddenly turned on again. The old light bulbs flashed from time to time, sometimes pale and sometimes dim.

After the lights were on, Lu Zhao suddenly found an intermittent trace on the dark ground under his feet.

The traces looked like blood, and they extended from the elevator door to Grandma Li's house, and seemed to flow out of the woven bag.

Lu Zhao looked at the 603 households behind him, and what appeared in his mind was Grandma Li's ghostly and terrifying face just now.

He didn't dare to think about it anymore. With a lot of doubt, Lu Zhao quickly walked away from the corridor and walked along the stairs to 5A.

After arriving at 5A, Lu Zhao discovered that the so-called 5A was actually half of the building was rebuilt on the basis of the fifth floor, which was sandwiched between the fifth and sixth floors.

In fact, you can just take the elevator to the fifth floor and walk up to 5A. But Grandma Li deliberately did not tell Lu Zhao this, and even told herself not to go to the fifth floor.

What exactly is there on the fifth floor? Why does Grandma Li say that she will be in danger if she goes there?
