Back in the room, Xiao Lan finally enjoyed the rare cleanliness.

He went back to the creaking, rust-smelling, uncomfortable bed, ready to take a formal break.

He glanced to the side, but saw Luo who consciously ran to the window and pestered. Luo's back looked lonely and lonely by the window. Xiao Lan once again felt like a black-hearted landlord who was bullying the poor long-term worker.

Conscience, there is a little pain.

He beckoned to Luo: "Why don't you come and sit by the bed?"

After speaking, he moved inside twice, and the bed frame made an overwhelmed creaking sound again. However, the bed that the stingy landlord had prepared was just a tad big, and even when it was put on the wall, there was not much room left.

In the weak night light, Luo slightly raised the corners of his lips: "Yes, sir."

He walked towards Xiao Lan, sat gently on the edge of the bed without making any sound, and just guarded the entrance to the iron fence beside the bed.

There are almost no residents in the whole building except them, and there is no sound coming from the fake city outside the window. The sound of the night wind blowing is extremely clear at this moment.

At this moment, the space between heaven and earth seemed to be particularly silent.

Quiet is quiet, but... it's so hot!

In the hot environment, and it seems like a heavy rain is coming, the air is humid and sultry like a bathroom just after taking a shower, and the wind blowing can't bring a trace of coolness.

When Luo sat down just now, part of his back was attached to Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan found out at this time that Luo's clothes didn't know what material they were made of. They were as cold as his own, and they wouldn't get hot when they came into contact with human body temperature, just like a large ice pillow.

Xiao Lan couldn't help but quietly leaned towards him. Luo didn't look back, as if acquiescing to his actions.

Seeing that Luo had no intention of resisting, Xiao Lan fell asleep in this position.

Don't say, Luo is really a good companion for home travel. don't know if it's warm in winter, but at least it's cool in summer.

After a while.

Luo sensed that the sound of breathing behind him was long and even.

He turned his head and looked at the man with a serious look.

Xiao Lan looked very quiet and soft after falling asleep. His breathing was calm, like a weak and harmless creature, completely reminiscent of the one who kicked the murderer and punched the oss when he woke up.

However, from Zhang Junxiu's sleeping face, he couldn't read the answer he wanted.

He is like a ghost without a place to come, entangled in a passing traveler, hoping that the other party will take him to a distant place, but even he himself does not know where this distant place is.

What is he to Xiao Lan?

A useful assistant, a companion on the road, or... a monster with ulterior motives.

Luo was thinking in the dark, and he would think like this every time when everything was quiet, thinking about these questions that he knew would have no results.

Because if he stops thinking, he will feel that he is a dead thing, something that has no breathing, no heartbeat, and can't think. What is not a dead thing?

He hates this feeling.

At this moment, a faint wave came from the air.

But it did not escape Luo's perception.

When Xiao Lan fell asleep, Luo had already filled this room with shadows that no one else could see. It could be said that this room was now decorated with a net.

The fluctuation seemed to be caused by some kind of insect flapping its wings. The source of the fluctuation was gradually approaching Xiao Lan's position. It was trying to enter through the gap in the fence beside the bed, but a slender palm with black gloves grabbed it. .

Luo looked at his palm, which looked empty, but his perception told him that there was a little bug in it, and it was struggling now.

A black shadow floated from the palm of his hand, forming a sphere, which slowly shrank, swallowing what was struggling in it.

After a while.

Feeling that the vitality in his hand had disappeared, Luo opened and closed his lips, and said silently: I'm sorry, but I can't let you disturb my husband.

Looking at Xiao Lan, who was still sleeping peacefully beside him, Luo smiled silently.

Meanwhile, in the dark, in a narrow room.

A man covered his eyes and let out a barely suppressed pained cry: "Hmm—"

The severe pain caused his back to arch and tremble uncontrollably.

After waiting for the pain to pass, he panted to prop up his body, and his face was covered in cold sweat: "Heh...what a sharp guy..."

——

The next morning.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

Xiao Lan was awakened by a loud banging sound.

That voice really went straight to the soul, so frightened that he jumped up from the bed. As a result, he forgot the size and height of the bed, and slammed directly into Luo's back.

"Hiss—" Xiao Lan fell onto the bed, clutching his head.

Luo, what does this guy eat, why is his back so hard, like a ten-ton steel plate, it clearly feels like a muscle-like texture.

The victim Luo, who looked like the culprit, looked back innocently: "Sir, good morning."

"Morning..." Xiao Lan said weakly.

Luo helped him organize his clothes, by the way, about the bug that sneaked in last night. Although Luo couldn't remember the name of this bug, he analyzed that it should be a kind of exploration tool, which is more advanced than the latent shadow and the eye of time and space that he encountered before, which means that this is a means from the player.

Xiao Lan suddenly became vigilant, who wanted to check his details? What is the purpose?

He felt that he was now caught in a fog, and he didn't know what the opponent in the fog wanted to do.

——

When going out to wash up, Xiao Lan took the opportunity to find out about the situation with the original residents, and wanted to know what happened to the knock on the door in the morning. As a result, this group of people all looked like they were not surprised, saying that it was the landlord. He did this almost every day, and it was good to get used to it.

He is really a conscientious and good landlord who takes it as his responsibility to make the residents feel uncomfortable...

It's time for breakfast.

There was still no raw material on the table, and the players felt a little nauseated, but they still had to eat for the next few days.

Wu Ting reluctantly put a mouthful into her mouth, frowned and took a deep breath before raising her chopsticks. She looked at Xiao Lan who was eating fast without changing her face, and felt genuine admiration from the bottom of her heart.

The same is human, why is this guy so good.

Strong, really strong.

At this moment the couple came out of the room tiredly.

"Baby you are so beautiful today!"

"You look good today too~"

"How can I have such a beautiful girlfriend~"

"I hate it~"

It seems that they have forgotten how they greeted each other's whole family last night, and even got into a fight. Couples are really a strange symbiosis model.

Seeing the two walking over like conjoined babies, the players suddenly felt more nauseated.

At this moment, the couple raised their heads in awe, and looked at today's breakfast table. At the same time, Xiao Lan and Luo who were eating were also in their sight.

The movements of the two men instantly stiffened.

The brutal experience of yesterday is still vivid in their minds, and they all feel as if they are still wrapped in thick quilts and can't breathe.

In an instant, they stopped shaking when they spoke, and they didn't need to support each other when they walked. The two of them rubbed up to the table quietly like chickens and sat down. They chose a place farthest from Xiao Lan and the two of them, and began to eat silently. Even the daily meal-feeding session was omitted.

The players were amazed, Wu Ting silently gave the two a thumbs up.

Cultists and pregnant women also came to the table one after another, the cultists were still chattering, and the pregnant women were still obsessed with eating their bowls without saying a word.

At this time, Wu Ting said: "Do you know that there is a mother and daughter living nearby? The mother looks very thin, and the girl looks very lively at a young age."

The cultists thought for a while: "Oh, they live here. But I didn't see anyone early in the morning, and I don't know where they went. This woman, how can you not find a man Follow, just come out and show her face like this, God is going to punish her..."

"God, will not allow your disobedience..."

He pointed to Wu Ting's sexy red dress again: "You, deliberately dressing like this is seducing the world! God will not forgive you!"

Wu Ting rolled his eyes at him with noble and glamorous eyes, and said that he did not want to speak at all.

Xiao Lan thought to himself, it's too simple, big brother, it's just silicone and sponge pads that lure you, stop believing in cults, and come and believe in science.

Ignoring the cultists' blind comparison, the players are a little puzzled. Yesterday, the mother and daughter were in the elevator with them. If they lived here, why didn't they come back? They are obviously the elevator under this floor, where can they go after getting off the elevator?

After a while, breakfast was almost over.

Xiao Lan glanced at the crowd and found that Meng Ze had never been seen. He glanced at He Rui: "Why didn't you see Meng Ze today?"

He Rui heard the words, raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Lan calmly: "He said he wanted to investigate something, so he skipped breakfast."

Xiao Lan: "What's the matter, do you need to go out so early in the morning?"

He Rui still looked very kindly: "Hehe, maybe he has any clues, maybe he has any clues, you can ask him when the time comes."

Xiao Lan couldn't see the guilty conscience and dodge on his face, and couldn't read anything else. Maybe he really didn't know it, or maybe this was an old fox with deep skills.

——

After breakfast, the player's behavior is not restricted.

Xiao Lan planned to take a look at this building with Luo, and maybe find any clues that would be useful to the fourth day's party.

The hallway was still dark and smelled of old, and the sky was gloomy outside. The sky before the heavy rain looked very oppressive, and the air was full of water vapor, which was actually a bit hotter than last night, giving people a feeling of being almost breathless.

Many of the doors in the hallway are tangled with wire and make it difficult to enter.

Xiao Lan has carefully observed that most of the keyholes on these doors have been rusted to death, and even if there is a key, it cannot be opened.

Using Luo's ability to investigate, these rooms are all empty, and nothing special can be seen.

At present, there are no clues pointing to these rooms, so there is no need to break in for the time being. Xiao Lan decided to go to the elevator first to see if the same is true for other floors.

As they were about to walk around the corner, they heard the sound of something being dragged.

"rustle……"

"sand"

It sounded like someone was dragging something heavy and bulky across the ground. Accompanied by the sound, there was an unpleasant smell of meat **, especially in the narrow and stuffy corridor.

Xiao Lan and Luo looked at each other, they stopped at the corner tacitly, and quietly looked in the direction from which the voice came.

The first thing they saw was the back of the landlord.

The landlord's skinny body is struggling to drag something in the elevator. The elevator seems to be broken. After opening the door, what you see is not the old elevator car, but the top of the elevator with the mechanical structure.

Because of the blocking angle, the two could not see what he was dragging in his hand for the time being.

The landlord seemed very happy at this time, with an indescribable excitement on his face: "Come, come~ Don't leave anyone."

He even hummed a song that was hoarse, like a crow's wailing.

"Hey..." The landlord's laughter echoed in the corridor, creating an eerie feeling in the silent space.

With his movements, the things in the elevator were dragged out little by little. Black, long, soft texture, spread out on the ground, what appears to be - hair.

Then, other parts slowly appeared, the shoulders, chest, arms that had begun to smear the corpse...

As the corpse slowly appeared, Xiao Lan suddenly discovered that the clothes on the corpse were very familiar.

This is the dress of the mother in the elevator!

The landlord stroked her hair excitedly, then put the woman's body next to her. He reached into the top of the elevator again, and this time the body that was dragged out was much smaller, and the landlord easily dragged her out.

The clothes of this corpse are also familiar to Xiao Lan. This is the little girl who was counting in the elevator.

Along with the corpse, there was also a small red ball.

Although now the little ball is covered with dust and oil from the top of the elevator and looks dirty. But Xiao Lan is very familiar with this little ball. Isn't this the one he asked him to help pick up when he was taking a shower? He also used a shower to nourish it out.

The corpses of the two of them have already become a bit violent, and the skin color has changed greatly and swelled up. Even according to the current temperature, the time of death should have exceeded 24 hours.

Previously, the cultists also said that they had not seen them early in the morning. It is very likely that the mother and daughter had died yesterday morning.

However, in the elevator just before dinner last night, the players met with the mother and daughter!

What did they see then...

They looked normal at that time, but did they know they were dead?

Xiao Lan recalled that in the light box at the top of the elevator, the players briefly saw the shadow of a hand flash past. Could it be the little girl's hand that just accidentally rolled off the elevator's movement.

The mother and daughter disappeared after leaving the elevator, which seems to be explained, because they were already dead at that time, and the ghosts naturally did not need to find a place to sleep.

In addition, the little girl counted ten people in the nine-person elevator, which made the players' hearts jump.But according to the current situation, it was human at that time - in fact, there were only seven.

What else is there?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lan suddenly felt a layer of cold sweat on her back. It wasn't that the ghost was scary, but the feeling of subverting her original perception was still too exciting.

The author has something to say:

I just wrote it here for Christmas, it seems to be a little exciting, and will put it in a small theater for everyone to slowly:

Xiao Lan: Merry Christmas!Santa, transform!!

Luo: Sir, can you come down from the roof first?

——

Wang Teddy: Merry Christmas everyone, did you miss me?Let me tell you the color of my brother's underwear today-

Wang Ke picked up his silly brother and flew away, and there was a vague message in the air: Merry Christmas.
