When they reached the 7th floor, the 3 guards sighed in relief when the light fell on them.
When they patrolled the Ziggurat, they had to be extra careful on every even-numbered floor, too many things were hiding in the darkness.
"Brother Hua, after you sent the boy home, did his mother react strangely?" Han Fei had a feeling that the child that Brother Hua had sent home was not the mother's child.
"His mother was very grateful to me."
"That's all?"
"Then what else do you want? Sending the child home is a piece of cake for us. " Brother Hua was very humble. It was obvious that he wanted to build a good relationship with the tenants and he was trying his best to help and protect them.
Standing next to the surveillance camera on the 7th floor, Brother Hua led Xiao Fang and Han Fei to inspect the fire protection system.
After ensuring everything was fine, they headed up to the 8th floor.
The light was behind them and the darkness before them was darkness but they still had to move up the stairs.
When Han Fei reached the corner between the 7th and 8th floor, the voice-activated lights on the 7th floor suddenly went off.
He was already at the back of the group and now the darkness behind him enveloped him.
A chill ran down his spine. Han Fei, who had found his freedom in the Ziggurat, subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.
Standing close to his back was a woman covered in blood! Her red dress covered the entire stairwell like she was dragging a blood red hell behind her!
The cold fingers gripped Han Fei's arm, that was where the red dress should be.
If Han Fei had reacted one second slower, he would have been dragged down the stairs by the woman.
He yelled and the voice-activated lights on the 7th floor came on. When the light appeared, the woman in the red dress had disappeared.
"Brother! Why did you yell so suddenly? You scared me. " Brother Hua and Xiao Fang who walked in front shuddered when they heard Han Fei's voice. They quickly turned around.
Han Fei was stunned at the corner of the stairwell. He had been so close to death earlier, his heart was racing.
However, even at that moment, he did not forget to observe the woman, that had become part of his instinct.
'The woman in the red dress is a Large Lingering Spirit! Her red dress can cover 2 floors of a building! '
Without the help of his neighbors, Han Fei could not fight against a Large Lingering Spirit on his own.
"I've only just entered the Ziggurat, and this is only the fourth floor of Block 1 …"
Han Fei tried his best to calm himself down. He tried to recall the woman's face. He realized the woman in the red dress looked different from the woman who tried to push him down the stairs at 1044.
There appeared to be many ghosts trapped inside Room 1044. Red Dress was the scariest of them all. She appeared to be the only one who could leave the room at will.
"Hey! Are you okay? " Xiao Fang and Brother Hua were still concerned about Han Fei. Seeing Han Fei standing there, they quickly retreated to his side and the three of them huddled together.
"The woman in the red dress appeared again. When the lights went out, she was behind me." Han Fei's face was pale.
"How about … we put the dress back?"
"We've already come this far. It's too troublesome to go back." Han Fei's arm that was holding the red dress was already numb, and the surface of his skin was cold like he was frostbitten.
Under Han Fei's insistence, the three of them came to the eighth floor.
Once they reached this floor, Han Fei could hear the sound of singing. He was very sensitive to music now. The moment he heard it, he pulled the red dress before him.
"Don't worry, there's a streamer living on the 8th floor. She's quite noisy at night. I'll go talk to her now." Brother Hua was familiar with the tenants inside the building. He pushed open the security door and walked down the darkened corridor.
Han Fei wanted to give up, after all, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Even floors with even numbers of people appear to have problems, we'd better leave as soon as possible." Han Fei followed closely behind Brother Hua. The closer they got to Room 1084, the clearer the singing became.
"It's already 3 am and she's still not sleeping. How many complaints will she get before she corrects herself?" Brother Hua pressed the doorbell of Room 1084. No one answered the doorbell. Perhaps due to the loud noise inside the room, the owner himself did not hear the doorbell.
Brother Hua had no choice but to knock.
About 10 seconds later, the singing stopped. The front door opened and a cute girl appeared at the door. "How can I help you?"
She knew she was in the wrong but her tone was laced with fear and grievance, like she was afraid the security guards would bully her.
"It's almost 3: 40 am. Even if you don't sleep, others will. There are other candidates upstairs, you can't do this! " Brother Hua said sternly, "It's not that we don't want you to livestream, but you can't continue to cause a ruckus at night."
Xiao Fang, who was standing at the side, seemed to want to completely scare the woman so that she would be quieter at night. With a dark face, he said in a hoarse voice, "The building is not clean right now. It seems like something filthy has entered. If you keep making noise, that thing might be attracted here."
"Is it haunted?" Xiao Fang's words perked up the woman's spirits.
Brother Hua glared at Xiao Fang speechlessly. "She moved into our building just to see ghosts on livestream."
"Livestream ghosts? She's willing to sacrifice her life for money? " Xiao Fang studied the petite girl. She was the kind of girl that could incite others to protect her. She appeared soft and fragile but was actually very brave.
"It's not that I want to see ghosts on livestream, I'm just curious about these things. I heard there was once a streamer who died here. No one dared to take over her room so it was converted into a security room." The woman leaned against the door like she was interested in the security room.
"The original owner of Room 1044 was also a streamer?" Han Fei's interest was piqued.
"Aren't you the security guard here? Don't you know? " The woman was surprised. "There was a very kind girl living in Room 1044. Unfortunately, she suffered from a terminal illness. In the last moments of her life, she actively sought treatment and tried her best to survive. To bring strength to her fellow patients, to bring hope to those who were trapped in the darkness, she started to livestream to record her limited life and share all the good things. "
"Isn't this good?" Holding the red dress, Han Fei chatted with the female streamer in the presence of all the parties involved.
"Initially, only her fellow patients, doctors and friends paid attention to her but due to her beauty, gentleness and kindness, more and more people started to pay attention to her.
"I don't know when it started but there were many negative voices in her livestream. Some suspected she was putting on a show. How could someone with a terminal illness be so kind? How could she still be so beautiful?
"Those people forced her to show her diagnosis, forced her to prove that she was really sick.
"Initially, she could communicate with those people. She thought they were just tricked so it was normal for them to suspect her. But slowly, things started to move in a direction that no one expected.
"Rumors started to spread that she was once a sugar daddy and that the money for her treatment at the major hospitals was paid for by her sugar daddy.
"The woman's father called the police. The person who spread the rumors was locked up for a day and then publicly apologized. But that was not enough to cover up the truth.
"Whenever she started her livestream, there would always be strange people saying strange things.
"When she spent a lot of money on treatment, they would say that she had wronged her parents; when she wanted to drink her favorite milk tea, they would say that she did not listen to the doctor and wasted so many people's concern; when she got angry, they would say that she had exposed her true nature; when she could not hold back her tears, they would say that she was a pitiful person.
"Those people were not trying to prove anything, they were just doing it for the sake of doubt. They tried their best to slander her to satisfy the evil image in their hearts.
"There were often two groups of people arguing in the woman's livestream. In the end, she was the one who was hurt. Those people would always point the finger at her, asking her why she was still alive. Even when they saw the hospital's certificate, they would accuse her of faking the diagnosis.
"For a period of time, she felt like the world was surrounded by thorns. Wherever she went, she would be pierced.
"But unlike online, there were people who cared about her in real life. This was the source of her power. But one day, she suddenly saw a note peeking through the gap in the door. It was filled with extremely disgusting words, insulting her by name. Similar things started to happen.
"The pain on the internet seeped into real life. Just as the flower of life was about to wilt, she was trapped inside a cage of malice. Even breathing became difficult.
"The police returned to investigate but she did not survive until the results came out." There was a trace of regret in the female streamer's voice. "She did not die from illness but she gave up on her own life."
"Have you found the culprit?" Han Fei was more concerned about that.
"Yes, it's a deliveryman who often delivers food to this building. He has been following the woman's livestream, he has been following her every day."
"Deliveryman?" Han Fei was instantly reminded of the deliveryman on the first floor. He could not resolve Woman 1044's resentment but perhaps he could lower the woman's hostility.
"Many things have happened in between. I only have a general idea. The reason I came to your residential area is to get to the bottom of everything." A smile appeared on the female streamer's face. "If this place is really haunted, then she has returned."
