The two of them wanted to look for the security guard on duty, but there was no one in the security room at the entrance. It was probably because there weren't many tenants living here, so the security here was very lax. The security guards all gathered somewhere to drink at night.
Xu Chuxia and Tian Souring were no longer in the mood for supper. The two of them quickly left the high-rise apartment and walked on the road of the neighborhood. Although there was no one outside, they felt a lot more at ease here.
They practically ran out of the neighborhood and arrived at a 24-hour KFC fast food restaurant near the neighborhood. The two of them walked in, ordered something, and sat opposite each other without saying a word.
They thought about all the strange things that had happened since they moved in, and how they would often hear the sound of the elevator chains in the middle of the night. Now that they thought about it, it was indescribably strange.
Who would take the elevator back and forth in the middle of the night? But sometimes, the elevator seemed to be running all night.
At least, the two of them didn't dare to go back before dawn.
"Chuxia, Sister Souring is a little scared … There seems to be something wrong with this place …" After a while, Tian Souring drank a cup of hot milk tea and calmed down.
"I know …" Xu Chuxia sighed. "When I bought the house, I heard that this used to be a mass grave, but it was cheap. Where else in Lan City can you find a house that costs five thousand yuan per square meter? It's so cheap here, and I don't have much money, so I bought it here. "
"Ah, then why did you buy it? It's a mass grave! "Tian Souring was shocked and almost spat out the milk tea in his mouth.
"We're all young educated people of the new era. How can we believe those things? What's wrong with mass graves? Even if it's under your feet now, there might have been people buried in the past! "Xu Chuxia shook her head.
"Then how do you explain these strange phenomena?" Tian Souring said impatiently. "Chuxia, some things can't be explained by science because science hasn't developed to that stage yet! You're Professor Xu's daughter, so you should understand this better. Things that can't be explained by science don't mean they aren't science! "
"Okay …" Xu Chuxia shrugged. "But I've already moved here, what else can I do? Why don't we not go out at night and just stay at home after school? There are still security guards in the morning and night. "
"I guess that's the only way. Why is this a scam? Sister Sour Sour ended up staying in a haunted house," Tian Sour Sour said gloomily.
"Why don't you buy a villa if you can!" Xu Chuxia glared at her. "You're still picky even though you're living in my house."
"Aiya, that's right. Didn't Xiao Qiang leave us so many gold bars? How about we sell it and buy a villa? "Tian Souruan suddenly slammed the table and said.
"Sour, do you really want those gold bars?" Xu Chuxia frowned. "That's a dangerous way of thinking. You're a bit of a gold-digger! You don't have much of a relationship with Xiao Qiang, so how can you spend his money? "
"Who said so? He is Sister Soursour's boyfriend. He even confessed!" Tian Soursour said, "It's natural for me to spend my boyfriend's money."
"Aren't you ashamed?" Xu Chuxia rolled her eyes.
"Aiya, it's fine if you don't spend it. Oh right, I remember now. Isn't Taoist Lu Li his little brother? There's something wrong with this building. We can look for Lu Li. Maybe he knows how to catch ghosts! "Tian Soursour had an idea.
"Eh?" Xu Chuxia was a little moved after hearing that. Taoists catching ghosts was deeply rooted in people's hearts, so Tian Soursour's suggestion was not bad. "Then, shall we look for Taoist Lu Li?"
"Yes, yes, let's look for him!" Tian Soursour nodded.
"I think you should look for him …" Xu Chuxia thought about it and was a little embarrassed. "Aren't you Xiao Qiang's girlfriend? It's easier for you to look for him! "
"Tsk, now you know that Sister Soursour is his girlfriend, right? He didn't let me sell the gold bars just now! " Tian Soursour took out her phone and found Taoist Lu Li's Weixin. She sent him a message. "I'm your … Sister Soursour. I'm looking for you to catch ghosts now. When can you come?"
After receiving Tian Soursour's message, Taoist Lu Li was obviously stunned. After a while, he realized who Tian Soursour was. "Ah, Grandmaster's wife, hello. What does catching ghosts mean? Is it hide-and-seek? "
"No, it's just that my house seems to be haunted. Can you use spells to catch ghosts?" Tian Soursour explained.
"Haunted? Catch ghosts? "Taoist Lu Li was speechless." Let me try … "
Although he was a Taoist, he was not the kind of Taoist who was good at catching ghosts. He did not belong to the same sect. What he pursued was cultivation and longevity, while those who caught ghosts pursued subduing demons.
"Then come quickly!" Tian Soursour said as she sent the address to Taoist Lu Li.
"Okay, I'll prepare …" Taoist Lu Li was a little helpless, but he could only agree. He turned around and looked for his master, Taoist Tai Shan.
After Taoist Lu Li told him about the matter here, Taoist Tai Shan was also a little puzzled. He had never caught ghosts before. After all, their sect, starting from An Xiaomo, focused on research and cultivation.
Curing illnesses and saving people were just a branch of alchemy. As for subduing demons, they had never studied it.
However, since it was Tian Soursour's request, the two of them could only pack up. They brought cinnabar, peach wood swords, and the like to the neighborhood where they lived.
The next morning, Xu Chuxia and Tian Soursour returned to the neighborhood sleepily. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the security guard.
"Hey, do you know? There's something wrong with this building. Why weren't you here last night? If you neglect your duty, Sister Soursour won't pay the property management fees next time! "Tian Soursour scolded the security guard.
"Of course there's a problem. Let me ask you, were you so bored that you played with the elevator in the middle of the night?" The security guard ignored Tian Soursour and asked directly.
"We? Played with the elevator? "Tian Soursour's eyes widened.
"When I went to the property management meeting just now, I was scolded by the manager. He said that the public electricity bill of the building I manage exceeds the limit every month. It's tens of thousands of yuan a month!" The security guard complained. "I went to check the electricity usage records and found that most of the electricity is used in the elevator. Say, no one is so bored that they play with the elevator. Why is there so much electricity?"
"That's what we're talking about. This elevator keeps creaking in the middle of the night. We can't sleep well. Is it haunted?" Tian Soursour said, "Don't go out at night anymore. Just stay here and watch over whoever is playing with the elevator. Won't it be fine if he catches them?"
"That's what I'm thinking. I must catch this bastard!" The security guard said angrily.
"Forget it, Soursour …" Xu Chuxia pulled Tian Soursour. She was already too tired and needed to rest.
Tian Soursour finally gave up. The two of them walked into the elevator. Then, Xu Chuxia said, "Soursour, maybe this security guard is right. It might be some kid's prank. Once he catches the person, everything will be fine."
"Alright." Because it was daytime, the eerie atmosphere was a little better. The feeling in the elevator was no longer the same. The two of them went back to their room and fell asleep.
In the afternoon, Taoist Lu Li and Taoist Tai Shan came. Xu Chuxia and Tian Soursour woke up and opened the door to welcome the two of them.
"Great, you're here. Let's go and see what's causing the trouble!" Although Tian Soursour was woken up, she was still very happy because the strangeness in this building was really torturing her to the point of going crazy.
"Okay, Grandmaster's wife, we'll go now!" Taoist Lu Li quickly nodded and responded. Then, he went to busy himself with Taoist Tai Shan.
However, the two of them were busy for the whole afternoon. They walked around every floor, but they didn't find anything strange. They could only return to Xu Chuxia and Tian Soursour's room.
"There's nothing wrong. We didn't find anything," Taoist Lu Li said.
"You didn't find anything?" Tian Soursour was stunned. "Is it really a kid's prank?"
"It's possible!" Taoist Lu Li nodded.
"Forget it. You guys can go back. Sorry for troubling you!" Tian Soursour felt a little relieved. She felt that what the security guard said might be right. Someone was playing a prank.
After Taoist Lu Li and Taoist Tai Shan left, Xu Chuxia was also a little relieved. However, she still didn't dare to go out casually. Instead, she called for takeout for the whole day.
At night, the two of them went to bed early. Because they stayed up all night yesterday, they were especially tired today. Even the sound of the elevator running in the middle of the night couldn't be heard anymore. They slept until dawn.
After the two of them got up, they couldn't wait to go downstairs. They wanted to ask the security guard if he had caught the prankster child. However, when they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, there were already some residents gathered there, and they were discussing.
Could it be that they caught it? Xu Chuxia and Tian Soursour both had the same thought. The two of them walked over and heard a neighbor saying, "I told you that the place we live is not clean. There seems to be something, but the property management company didn't take it seriously. They even thought that I was crazy. Now, is it good? Did I scare their security guard crazy? "
Is the security guard crazy? Xu Chuxia and Tian Soursour looked at each other. They were very shocked! They didn't expect such an outcome.
"Yes, I think so too. There must be something wrong with this building. No one lives above the 20th floor. When I come back at night, I often find the elevator stopping at the 20th floor. There must be something wrong! Moreover, the elevator will mysteriously stop at an empty floor. When the door opens, there's no one outside. Isn't this strange? "another neighbor said.
"Yes, yes. The elevator always creaks in the middle of the night. But as far as I know, there are a total of more than 20 households living in this building. Very few people work the night shift. Even if there are, the elevator can't operate all night!" another person agreed.
