Chapter 52 Distress
The bathroom in 404 occupies a small area. The bathroom decoration in the early years did not pay attention to the separation of dry and wet. In the small room of less than five square meters, there is a washstand for one person standing up, and the toilet is next to the washstand.
This flush toilet has a history of more than ten years. There are many old yellow stains on it that cannot be washed off. It is some domestic sewage, which is accumulated on weekdays and used to flush toilets.
The bathroom does not separate a separate shower room with hardware, but a slide rail is installed on the top, and a waterproof curtain is hung to make an isolation. donβt know when this curtain was replaced. It is in a bathroom with heavy humidity , and is often folded to the side while it is still wet, the water vapor cannot be diffused, and many black and gray mold spots are covered day by day, which looks very sloppy.
In addition to these most basic devices, there is also a small stool, a mop and a drum containing the mop in the narrow bathroom. Several rows of hooks are stuck on the wall near the door, and seven or eight towels of various sizes are hung from it. , squeeze the narrow space to the brim.
On weekdays, Jiang Fangfang dislikes the toilets of her parents-in-law's house the most. She thinks that when people get old, they will be buried. The couple is a typical representative. They have turned a good house into a garbage dump. Among them, the toilet is the most disgusting, and they come here occasionally to have a meal would rather go to a nearby public toilet for convenience than to come to this toilet to solve the problem of grain reincarnation.
But at this moment, Jiang Fangfang walked barefoot into this place that she had always avoided.
Zhuo Fang, the old lady of 404, died in this bathroom late last night. It may be that she slipped when walking and was too late to grab the support on the side. When she fell, her head hit the raised wall directly. Porcelain toilet, followed by a heavy fall on the ground.
The two heavy blows caused serious intracranial hemorrhage. Without timely rescue, when her wife Bai Aichun woke up and found out, her body was already completely cold.
Zhuo Fang's body had already been taken away by the staff of the funeral home, and the police from the police station also visited the scene as usual, taking photos and keeping evidence. It is just to wash away the blood splashed on the toilet, the ground and the surrounding walls with water.
Because the mouth of the sewer pipe was blocked by a lot of hair, the stagnant water infiltrated very slowly. It was fine to come in with slippers on. At this time, Jiang Fangfang came in on tiptoe, and the soles of her forefoot were soaked in the stagnant water of the stolen goods.
She stood in front of the sink, a nail was driven into the wall, and a mirror in a red plastic basket was hung on it.
In normal times, Jiang Fangfang frowned and vomited. But at this time, like a puppet, she slowly opened her eyes in front of the mirror. In the mirror, her eyes were dull and lifeless.
If there is a second person present at this time, a reproducible picture will be seen.
In the mirror, behind her, there is a person who is a little shorter than her, with half of his head protruding from behind her.
Just above her left shoulder and on the left side of her neck, half of her face was exposed.
Gray and messy hair, and a pair of cloudy and malicious eyes!
"boom"
Jiang Fangfang raised her left hand, pressed her cheek, and slammed into the wall the next second.
She spared no effort, and with the first blow, she broke the plastic hook that hung the towel on the side, and the broken section left many bloody holes on her cheeks and head.
"boom"
The second time, the strength seemed to be heavier than the previous one. Some of the more firmly glued hooks were still stuck to the wall, and the broken section was raised on the wall. Jiang Fangfang made these raised sections directlyThe plastic was pierced into the head, and when it penetrated, the port was covered with a little fleshy foam.
She didn't seem to feel any pain, but the third, fourth...the force seemed to knock out her own brains.
In the mirror, the half of her face behind her showed pleasure.
When Gu Chu came back from 404, looking at the dirty Gu Dudu, he had a whim, wanting to take a bath for him and tidy him up.
It's a pity that things in real life don't seem to be in contact with Gu Dudu, so she has been busy for a long time, but Gu Dudu still looks as dirty as before.
In fact, Gu Chu probably guessed this result, so before that, Gu Dudu was lying on her bed, but the little thing on his body was not stained on the sheet or quilt.
At present, it seems that the only person in this world who can have contact with him is himself.
But this doesn't mean that Gu Dudu can't affect real life. Gu Chu feels that he has to continue to observe.
"Aren't you ready to go back?"
Gu Chu looked at the little ghost who followed her step by step and wanted to go out, and asked helplessly.
Gu Dudu: ...
I tilted my head, what are you talking about, I don't understand.
"Forget it, just follow if you want."
Gu Chu glanced at the time on the wall. It had been nearly an hour since she left Room 404, and she decided to go down to have a look.
Gu Dudu understood this sentence selectively, hugged Gu Chu's thigh happily, and was too lazy to walk by himself.
The corridor was very quiet. The people who were watching the lively before had already returned to their own houses, and a person had just jumped off the building to his death. No one dared to appear in the dead building in the middle of the night.
Gu Chu came to the fourth floor smoothly. The 404 painted in white paint mixed with a little fluorescent agent flashed light green fluorescence in the dim environment, creating a terrifying atmosphere for no reason.
Gu Chu raised his hand and knocked on the door. When the back of his hand was pressed against the door panel, the terrifying coldness extended along his skin to his elbow, as if he was touching an ice cube that was just taken out of the cold storage.
Intuitively, told Gu Chu that something happened inside.
She guessed that the people in this room definitely did not follow her previous suggestion and went to a small hotel nearby to find a few rooms to stay temporarily.
She intensified the intensity and speed of her knocking, and the hallway was filled with bang bang bang, and Bai Zhi, who was only separated by a wall, was lying on the sofa and showed no sign of waking up, not to mention Bai Aichun and others who were sleeping in the back room. .
The entire 404 seems to be separated from the original space. The people inside are controlled by invisible forces, and they fall into a nightmare that cannot be woken up.
"Release first."
Gu Chu said to the kid holding his thigh, and then quickly changed his bloodline.
With a "swoosh", Gu Dudu, who was still clinging to her, obediently hid in the corner and looked at her cowardly.
The appearance of Gu Chu, who has changed his second bloodline, is not much different from before, except that his eyes are a little red, his skin is a little whiter, and the lines of his muscles are smoother. Only Gu Chu himself knows that after turning it on, that kind of power is full of power. a feeling of.
She took a few steps back, then sprinted, raised her legs, and kicked 404's door without any effort. It was obviously a wooden door, but when her legs collided with the door, there was a sound of metal breaking.
With the first kick, the door was kicked out of a big hole. Gu Chu reached out and opened the door from the inside.
The moment the door opened, 404's strange aura was broken, and Bai Zhi, who was sleeping in the living room, woke up yoyo.
"What's the matter? You, aren't you, the policeman who lives upstairs, why did you smash our door!"
Bai Zhi's loud shouting also woke up the siblings who were sleeping in the two rooms inside.
He stepped forward to stop Gu Chu, but Gu Chu was faster than him. Feeling the breath of his body, Gu Chu hurriedly walked to the corner bathroom.
The bathroom door was open at this time.
There were two "people" standing inside.
One was Jiang Fangfang, whose half of his head was already bloody, and the other was standing behind her, half a head shorter than Jiang Fangfang.
This is a wrinkled old lady, with a small build, sunken cheeks highlighting the cheekbones, pale skin, purple lips, and cloudy eyeballs embedded in sunken eye sockets.
Gu Chu has seen her many times, in the corridor of this building.
The last time saw her was in the photo. The black and white photo was hanging on the wall in the living room of 404.
Hearing the sound, the old lady's head twisted ninety degrees, and there was nothing but resentment in her eyes with Gu Chu.
She was standing in the bathroom, clinging to Jiang Fangfang.
Her hands clenched Jiang Fangfang's arms tightly, her nails almost embedded in the other's flesh, and Jiang Fangfang's heels stepped on the old lady's forefoot, looking like she was walking on tiptoe.
Gu Chu looked down, and she finally understood why Xu Ping, who jumped off the building, was barefoot, but most of the soles of her feet were clean.
Gu Chu and her looked at each other for a long time, but in fact, it only took a breath. The next moment she appeared, the ghost behind Jiang Fangfang disappeared. It seemed that the scene just now was just Gu Chu's illusion.
And Bai Zhi, who followed Gu Chu, didn't see anything.
Because of the lack of support, Jiang Fangfang's body went limp, and just before she fell heavily to the ground, Gu Chu hugged her.
"Quick call 120."
Gu Chu yelled at the frightened Bai Zhi.
"What, what's going on!"
Bai Zhi was in a daze, he didn't react when Gu Chu yelled at him like this.
It's all right, why did my sister-in-law become like this, smashing half of her face in the toilet, he is not a fool, knowing such an injury, obviously it can't just fall out by accident.
He didn't doubt Gu Chu either, because he watched the other party smash the door of their house, and then ran to the bathroom under his watch, only to find Jiang Fangfang who had been seriously injured.
Bai Zhi didn't have time to think about why Gu Chu knew that someone had an accident in their family and slammed into the door. He just couldn't figure it out. He was in the living room and his sister-in-law had such a serious injury. How could he not hear anything.
At this time, he thought of his wife, and certain situations seemed to correspond.
"Fangfang! Fangfang!"
"Oh, my God, how could this happen!"
Brothers and sisters Bai Yong and Bai Ying also got up and went outside the room when they heard the noise.
Seeing the bloody wife in Gu Chu's arms, Bai Yong staggered and pushed his younger brother who was in the way, and rushed to Gu Chu's side.
"Call the police! Hurry up and call the police, no, no, no, call 120 first, hurry, call!"
Bai Yong's roar finally woke Bai Zhi up a bit. He held back his panic and ran to the living room, picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and dialed the emergency number.
When he hung up the phone, he couldn't help but look at the two photos hanging in the living room.
In one of the black and white photos, the old lady smiled kindly, but Bai Zhi still shivered for no reason.
"no, I can not."
He muttered to himself, but he didn't dare to look into those eyes any more, as if fleeing for his life, he left the living room and ran outside the crowded bathroom.
The moment he turned around, the faces in the photo seemed to move, but nothing seemed to happen.
Jiang Fangfang was sent to the emergency room. Her condition was critical. Fortunately, she was sent in time and there was still hope of rescue.
Bai Aichun was getting old, accompanied by a volunteer from the community, and stayed at home. The other brothers and sisters of the Bai family all gathered outside the emergency room.
In addition to their brothers and sisters, the police who recorded their statements yesterday were also present.
After Xu Ping, such a personal injury incident occurred within a few hours. Obviously, what the Bai family is facing now is not a small case.
And judging from the clues we have now, this is not only not a small case, but also a strange and nonsensical case.
What made the police even more baffled was the role Gu Chu played here, why did she discover Jiang Fangfang's possible distress earlier than Bai Zhi who was in the living room at that time.
