    The abandoned buildings don't look far away, but it's a bit scary to actually walk there. By the time the two of them actually found the target building, the sky had completely merged with the night.

    "Good evening everyone, we are going to start the live broadcast." Xie Jin opened the live broadcast software, and said a very pale opening remarks, "Today's expedition is the local apartment building in Tan Jiang. Room 404 disappeared, there are strange stories and legends that children often cry in the northernmost room of No. 404."

    "Follow the anchor and don't get lost. The anchor will take you to the ghost road." Ji Duan squeezed half of his face into the camera, and he greeted the water friends in the live broadcast room, "We will enter the apartment building at nine o'clock tonight, looking for the legendary Room 404."

    Facts have proved that young and good-looking youths are more likely to attract a large number of fans. Xie Jin glanced at the real-time barrage, and most of them were calling for Ji Duan to show his face more.

    The number of people online in the live broadcast room has reached 50,000. It seems that the traffic is good tonight.

    Xie Jin took out the Spike flashlight from the accompanying backpack, and at the same time handed one to Ji Duan who was looking around.

    The young man was taken aback for a moment, probably because he didn't expect Xie Jin to be careful enough to give him such a non-human lighting tool, but he still took the hand silently, and didn't say much.

    Because of the abandoned buildings, the water and electricity in this area have been cut off long ago. The pale light in their hands is like two sharp knives, splitting the dense night.

    Before Xie Jin stepped into the corridor, he looked up at the same dark sky. It's very strange, the sun is still bright before sunset, but how come it is suddenly covered by dark clouds at night, and even the moon can't be seen at all.

    "What's the matter? Don't you go in." Ji Duan, who had already entered the building, saw that he was a little restless, and urged him aloud, "Could it be that there are 'dirty things' here?"

    Xie Jin withdrew his gaze and shook his head: "I'm not sure, but there is a faint smell here, which makes me feel uncomfortable."

    With his backhand, he held the pig bone hanging from the backpack in his hand. It was made by his mother to ward off evil spirits when he was a child.

    Xie Jin suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, he secretly said blessings, and then pulled a smile on Ji Duan's suspected worried face.

    "It's okay, let's go."

    This is a very old abandoned apartment building. The gray-blue wall bricks on the outside are starting to fall off. The corridors extend in all directions. Walking straight in from the entrance hall will lead you into a square yard.

    The dark corridor is particularly deep and long, especially because there is a whole mirror hanging on the front wall of the hall. Xie Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and shone the flashlight on the mirror. colored yellow symbols.

    "Is it a peace talisman?" Relying on his height, Ji Duan took the mobile phone from Xie Jin and pointed it at the top of the mirror, "Who would a normal person stick a talisman on such a place, or is there already a team of spirit detectives here?" After that, there is indeed something to scare them here."

    Xie Jin pursed his mouth and remained silent. The gloomy corridor led directly to the inner courtyard, and the sound of the dark wind passing through the hall was like a child crying, or a woman's mournful sigh.

    There was a trace of coldness behind him, like invisible spider silk quietly attached, Xie Jin shuddered suddenly, seeing that Ji Duan wanted to take off the charm, he hurriedly stopped his next actions.

    "Don't mess with that talisman, just let it stay there, let's go to the next place."

    Ji Duan raised his arms and looked back at him for a while. Xie Jin's face became paler under the light of the flashlight, and his two dark pupils trembled. He was obviously afraid of something.

    "Okay." Ji Duan withdrew his hand, he didn't know what Xie Jin felt, so he had to silently follow the man to the duty room of the apartment.

    The wooden frame of the duty room was almost half-hung there by a hinge. They pushed open the old wooden door that had been covered in dust for a long time. Amidst the groans from the wooden door, the unique pungent smell of dust came to their faces.

    Xie Jin and Ji Duan walked into this not-so-small duty room one after the other. The light from the wolf tooth flashlight made the room completely free of dark corners. Xie Jin probably looked around the whole room, and couldn't help but sigh that the layout is too good to keep. point.

    Although they knew that the place was already empty, everything in the duty room gave them the illusion that there were still people living here.

    Especially the wooden bed covered with curtains, which obviously accumulated a thick layer of dust, but the bed inside was unexpectedly tidy. If the quilt spread there was swept away in a hurry, one would even mistakenly think that someone was lying on the bed. sleep inside.

    "I always feel that there is some discord here." Xie Jin looked at the neat bedding and murmured.

    Ji Duan held up his mobile phone to take pictures of Xie Jin in the back, and some words about Xie Jin occupying the camera for too long flashed on the barrage from time to time, and he had a panoramic view of them all.

    Silently turning the phone into selfie mode, Ji Duan stared at the screen, raised his leg and approached Xie Jin who was standing in front of the bed, "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

    "I didn't find anything, but I think it's a bit strange that the order here is a bit strange. People who have lived here walk at a leisurely pace. Generally speaking, people don't have this kind of situation when they are fleeing for their lives."

    Xie Jin dug out a second-hand camera from his bag, which was the most expensive equipment the company gave him. While taking pictures, he explained where the so-called sense of disobedience came from.

    "According to our existing information, after a catastrophic fire broke out in this apartment building, the people living in it should have moved out on a large scale after that. From their point of view, the family relocated Do you still pay attention to keeping the room clean?"

    "It makes sense. If you look at it in that situation, the place is really tidy and a bit out of order." Ji Duan looked at Xie Jin poking his head into the thick window curtain, and his expression changed instantly, "What are you doing? ?!"

    Most of Xie Jin's body was on the bed. He groped on the bed with his waist bowed, but at this moment he was grabbed by a young man rushing up from behind. Before Xie Jin could react, he was lifted away from the full bed It was a bed of dust.

    "Ji Duan, let me down..." Xie Jin broke away from Ji Duan's hand, and explained his behavior in a low voice, "I want to find out if there is something forgotten here on the bed in the guard room. "

    "Oh." Ji Duan let go of his hand when he heard the words. He probably felt a little embarrassed, and rushed to force his words before Xie Jin could speak, "I saw how dusty and unhygienic it was, so I dragged you out...so what's new? Did you find it?"

    Xie Jin leaned into the bed curtain again, felt every place under the pillow, and after confirming that there was nothing there, he wiped off a layer of pungent ash from his hands.

    "I didn't find anything referenced on the bed. It seems that this guard room is only clean and unreasonable." Xie Jin turned on the flashlight again. When the light penetrated the guard room window and shone on the mirror on the opposite wall, he saw himself He Jiduan's twisted body.

    Ji Duan followed Xie Jin's gaze, and saw the distorted reflections of the two groups who couldn't see the facial features clearly.

    "If this mirror has never been changed, I might guess who put the yellow talisman on it." Ji Duan swung his arm towards the mirror, but his reflected arm in the mirror twisted as if broken , "After all, no one wants to see his own reflection in the broken mirror when he is on duty at night."

    "There is nothing to investigate here. Let's go upstairs directly?" Xie Jin walked out with a flashlight. Although it was only for a moment, he seemed to suddenly feel that the smell that made him feel uncomfortable suddenly disappeared.

    "How about going directly to Room 404?" Ji Duan followed and walked out of the guard room. The first floor of the building is facing them is the entrance of the same backyard. The stairs are respectively attached to the walls on both sides. Ji Duan looked Xie Jin asked, "Or, are you going to take a look in the yard first?"

    Xie Jin passed through the back door without any anti-theft measures, and frowned unconsciously. He was sure that the uncomfortable feeling that made him just now came from upstairs, not here.

    "Upstairs, let's go straight upstairs."

    Guided by the flashlight, the two found the stairwell. The peeled green half-painted wall was dilapidated, and the white putty had already oxidized and turned yellow, and it couldn't even cover the concrete wall below.

    "Meijian Center... This is a small advertisement from many years ago." Ji Duan walked in front this time, staring at the torn poster on the wall, staring at the woman with the high ponytail on it.

    The poster has been badly weathered, and the printing on it is completely unclear, but based on the woman's attire, Ji Duan can roughly judge that this should be a small advertisement for aerobics.

    "Pay attention to your feet, and be careful not to trip over." Xie Jin illuminated the steps under his feet from behind. The stairs of this kind of old-fashioned buildings are usually narrow and steep, and it is easy to trip if you don't pay attention.

    The light cannot turn corners, and Ji Duan's long arms and legs climbed the stairs very fast, Xie Jin had no choice but to follow behind, and could only grab the hem of the young man's back, "Can you, slow down, my legs are not good..."

    Ji Duan slowed down, and he tried his best to climb up at a speed that Xie Jin could keep up with. He even felt that this might be the slowest speed in his life.

    After walking up like this for a while, the two of them sensed that something was wrong. The place they were going to was obviously only the fourth floor, but they had climbed at least the sixth floor, and it was impossible that they hadn't arrived yet.

    "Ji Duan... Isn't this the poster you saw just now?" Xie Jin panted heavily, pointing to the wall beside him with one finger, where there was clearly a poster they had seen on the second floor, not only a picture The text, even the damaged parts are exactly the same.

    Xie Jin managed to breathe steadily, and he looked around with a flashlight. This kind of old-fashioned apartment building with many households uses double-sided stairs, with a square and symmetrical design. Looking from top to bottom, there is no end to the downstairs , where the light can shine are all stairs.

    "It's okay, it's just an ordinary ghost hitting the wall, we will go out." Xie Jin said softly, under the watchful eyes of Ji Duan, he put his left middle finger in his mouth, bit it quickly, and the bean-sized blood dripped from the wound instantly come out.

    He didn't care whether the abandoned wall was clean or not, he used his blood-stained middle finger to draw something similar to a spell, then he took out a small bottle, rubbed some vermilion powder with his fingertips and sprinkled it on the blood amulet he had just drawn.Still muttering something in here.

    Ji Duan couldn't care less about the surprise, he was a little untenable by the head pain that came immediately, the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart, accompanied by screams coming from nowhere, the screams were not direct Into the ear, but directly into the brain.

    "Are you okay?" Just as Ji Duan staggered a few steps back, a cold hand supported his back, it was Xie Jin, "My blood may affect you, sorry."

    Ji Duan stabilized his body. He keenly captured the details of the man's words, and asked curiously, "Why? Is there anything special about your blood?"

    It was indeed affected just now, and his whole body trembled following Xie Jin's whispers. Although it was not in the way, it would give him a very uncomfortable feeling.

    "Because I have the wisdom eye physique, although it is not as powerful as the sky eye physique, but it is still a special physique?" Xie Jin's hands were also shaking violently. Obviously, this kind of exorcism would not make him feel too good. "In the previous team, there were My friend who has been a Taoist priest for generations, I was taught by him, compared to him, I am all three-legged cat kung fu."

    He pursed his lips, but didn't tell Ji Duan that if these tricks were used too much, it would be very easy to backfire, especially for a person like him whose cultivation base is not high and his karma has not been cleared.

    "Let's continue."
