    Going up, it is still a dark and dilapidated staircase, and the mottled time is clearly reflected here.

    The musty smell unique to old buildings filled their noses, especially Xie Jin. Ji Duan noticed that he frowned more than once, as if he smelled an indescribable pungent smell, and his face was not very good.

    "Uncle Xie, are you okay?" Ji Duan was a little concerned, but still called out Xie Jin, who was still climbing, "Why do you feel that you are not in good shape?"

    The light of the flashlight hit the man's body, and a slender projection was drawn on the wall at the corner of the stairs not far away. Xie Jin slowly turned his head, his already sick face became even paler under the beam, and Ji Duan could almost see him clearly. Every capillary in the underside of the eye, flushed with red, always seemed to burst open in the next second.

    He raised the stiff corners of his mouth and forced a smile: "I'm fine, maybe it's just that the breaking of the formation has consumed some physical strength, and it will be fine in a while."

    Xie Jin's body is slightly hunched, he secretly bears the powerful resentment from the fourth floor from the inner wall of his lips. Ji Duan didn't seem to be affected at all. Seeing Xie Jin's insistence, he stopped talking about it, but just blocked the man's back to prevent him from stepping on the air and falling backward.

    After some tossing, the two finally came to the fourth floor, only to find that the information here seems to be completely different from the information given by M company. According to the information given by the company, 404 households were killed after being robbed, but looking at the walls and ceilings on the fourth floor, it was obvious that a fire had occurred here.

    The sky was completely dark, and only the faint pale moonlight penetrated the dark clouds and barely hit the window lattice that was blackened by the fire.

    Xie Jin swallowed his saliva, and his uneasy expression was caught by the young man behind him. Ji Duan was silent for a moment, then pulled Xie Jin away and walked to the front.

    "What are you doing standing here in a daze? There are so many people watching in the live broadcast room." When passing by Xie Jin, he whispered in a voice that only two people could hear.

    Yeah, what is he doing standing here stupidly?

    Awakened by Ji Duan's words, Xie Jin forced himself to come back to his senses and cheered himself up on the verge of being attacked by the formation. He looked at the broad back of the young man walking in front, and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

    Obviously he insisted on coming, but instead let Ji Duan, an outsider, worry about him. As an adult who is still alive and breathing, this is too cheap.

    Xie Jin dryly caught up with the young man, and those hasty steps were caught by the front camera. People who didn't know it thought he was afraid of being in such a strange place.

    But Xie Jin was really afraid, not because of dirty things, but because he would kill Ji Duan again.

    "Uncle Xie, look at this." Ji Duan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Xie Jin, who was thinking about something, couldn't keep up with the sudden change, and he hit the young man's generous back directly.

    Xie Jin was in pain. He covered the bridge of his sore nose with one hand and narrowed his eyes slightly to face the master on his back. The master had turned around and looked at him condescendingly.

    "Sorry... I was thinking about something just now." Xie Jin was very uncomfortable exposing his embarrassed face to Ji Duan's eyes. He hurriedly looked around, trying to quickly change the subject, "What did you show me just now?"

    Fortunately, Ji Duan didn't say anything, he just stared at Xie Jin quietly for a few seconds, and then turned his eyes to the wall.

    "Look here, don't you think it's very strange that this thing appears in the corridor?"

    Looking in the direction of the young man's finger, Xie Jin saw a very strange thing on the dark wall. It was a family portrait. Compared with the surrounding environment, it was really too abrupt, there was no dust, and there was no trace of being burned by fire. It's as if someone just put it here recently, it's very out of place.

    "Huh?" Xie Jin leaned over to observe carefully. The family portrait seemed to be brand new. It was a family of five. Judging from their age, the man and woman in the center should be in a mother-son relationship, standing at the edge holding the two children. The woman is the daughter-in-law.

    This family portrait could not have been more ordinary, but one thing caught Xie Jin's attention. Everyone else's face was full of smiles, but the woman's face seemed to have been smeared, and only the body was left in darkness. Vice-pregnant Rokko's body.

    "Is it carbon ashes?" Ji Duan stretched out his index finger and smeared on the photo lightly. He thought the picture would be clearer, at least revealing the outline of the woman's face, but no, it wasn't carbon ashes, but a burn-through photo the black hole.

    Strange, who would put a family photo in the hallway of an abandoned apartment building? And also burned the hostess's name into a black hole, what is the purpose of doing this?

    Xie Jin was looking at the family portrait carefully, and suddenly stopped to the side and Ji Duan called himself: "Uncle Xie, the fans let you look at the wall at the end of the corridor, over there..."

    He only said half of what he said. Xie Jin heard the sound and looked at it. He only glanced at it, and felt that the coolness instantly swept his body-at the end of the corridor, facing the wall where they were now, originally only Xie Jin should have been thrown. Next to the shadow of one person, there are two more figures!

    The dense fear clinging to the nerves directly attacked Xie Jin's brain. He turned his head suddenly to look at Xie Jin, and found that the other party was also staring at him in surprise.

    "What's going on? Is it a ghost?" Xie Jin took off the rosary from his wrist and held it in the palm of his hand. He looked around vigilantly and found nothing unclean.

    Ji Duan was born in an abandoned paradise, and the current situation is much easier to deal with than the ghost that devours the mountain spirit. He stared at the two extra shadows and tried to raise his arms upwards.

    He was standing beside Xie Jin, and the shadow next to Xie Jin's shadow followed him and made the same movements.

    At this moment, even Ji Duan was stunned. He met Xie Jin's eyes in disbelief. Due to the live broadcast, he mouthed and asked, "Can ghosts have shadows? Am I without shadows?"

    "I don't know? Is this really your shadow?" Xie Jin has never encountered such a situation. It is rare to meet Ji Duan who is not an evil ghost, but ghosts have shadows. This question is really for him Said it was too high.

    Although Ji Duan didn't lose his soul in the sun during the day, he didn't have a reflection, but at night, there was a shadow under the light of the flashlight. Maybe it's a matter of day and night?

    Thinking of this, Xie Jin suddenly came to his senses. Fear was about to flow into his bone marrow. He pointed to the shadow on the far side and almost cried out: "Ji Duan! If this is your shadow, then who is this next to you?" of?!"

    Before he finished speaking, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the mobile phone held by Ji Duan in the palm of his hand, and the live broadcast was directly interrupted.

    "I don't know! Something is wrong here. The live broadcast on the mobile phone was forcibly cut off." Ji Duan quickly put the mobile phone into his pocket, and grabbed the frightened Xie Jin to his side. Something is at work."

    The two were back to back, each holding a flashlight in their hands and walked towards the end of the corridor. They also paid attention to the house numbers of the rooms they passed along the way, but there was no 404.

    "The rooms here are all counted from the end to the outside, and the initial number should be inside." After passing through two doors in a row, Ji Duan came to the conclusion that he couldn't see Xie Jin's face, but he could feel it from the other's trembling shoulders. The fear of the moment, "Are you okay?"

    "Hmm." The only answer he got was this trembling sigh coming from the nasal cavity. Ji Duan didn't know what Xie Jin was afraid of, but thinking about it, ordinary human beings can immediately respond to supernatural events. How many, and there are very few like Xie Jin who can bite the bullet and move forward, right?

    "It's just a shadow, I can't confirm anything yet." Ji Duan consoled patiently, but he didn't know that the man didn't listen at all.

    For this expedition, Jiu was not there. Xie Jin was very uncertain, every time his life was in jeopardy, Jiu would miraculously save his life, the little black cat was like Xie Jin's reassurance, supporting his almost collapsed life.

    But after all, Jiu is not some kind of pet kept by Xie Jin. It has its own thoughts and ideas, and it will disappear from Xie Jin from time to time, especially on the night of the full moon. It will leave Xie Jin one day in advance. No one knows where it went and what it did. .

    The beam of the flashlight shot towards the end of the corridor. It took less than a second. Xie Jin thought he was demented and had hallucinations. Just now, he seemed to see something lying on the ground not far away. The outline resembles a human head!

    Xie Jin cringed a little, he didn't dare to shine the flashlight in that direction again, so he told Ji Duan what he had just seen. The young man frowned, and turned back the light of exploration to shine on Xie Jin instead. His eyes clearly suspected that he had a mental problem.

    "I, I'm not sure, but the outline is a bit similar..." Xie Jin was blinded by the light, he rolled up the back of his hand to avoid the light, and hesitantly defended himself, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

    The thin and pale man made a probe. Judging from his body reaction, he obviously didn't want to go to investigate, but he asked cautiously with a mixed heart.

    Ji Duan was used to seeing Xie Jin's cowardly appearance, and this kind of fearless appearance unexpectedly made him a little cute.

    "Go, of course." He raised the corners of his lips, and half dragged Xie Jin towards the unknown object.

    As the light got closer, the appearance of the unknown object also became clear. It was the head of a white rabbit doll, which was torn apart and thrown on the ground. At first glance, it really looked like a human head.

    Ji Duan glanced at Xie Jin who was stunned, and wanted to tease this man even more. He added emphatically, "Do you know the Hello Kitty corpse case in Hong Kong? It was to cut off the victim's head and sew it into the body of a doll. Maybe here..."

    Speaking of this, he deliberately slowed down his tone, and lightly touched the rabbit doll on the ground with his toes, "Maybe there is a human head hidden in this doll?"

    Because the distance between the two was so close, Xie Jin could hear the chattering of Xie Jin's teeth as close as Ji Duan, so he patted the man's back comfortingly and softened his voice, "Okay, don't be so nervous, Uncle Xie, you See nothing."

    He waited for a while, and seeing that Xie Jin still didn't respond, he pointed the flashlight at the man's face. He found that what Xie Jin was afraid of was not the dusty rabbit doll head on the ground, but somewhere else.

    Following Xie Jin's line of sight, Ji Duan's flashlight was fixed on a dark broken wooden door directly in front of him. Three numbers were printed with red paint on the upper part of the wooden door. Although the handwriting was a bit blurred, it was still recognizable.

    Room 404, they finally found it.

    Black-bellied Ji Duan
