Chapter 5: The 4th Floor

After saying this, Zhao Long hung up his cell phone without waiting for Mo Yuan to answer and walked into the dark Building 3. The lights were very gray. "Ning, grab my hand." Dong Xie grabbed Dong Ning's hand in a death grip and said, "If anything happens, I'll take you to escape right away, now that the bloodletter hasn't officially started ……" "I don't think the problem will be too big yet." Dong Ning turned her cell phone's flashlight on to illuminate her surroundings, "It'll be fine, brother. There aren't enough hints of life paths, we'll be fine." This section of the road wasn't really very long. However, because of the dim light, all three of them walked cautiously, just afraid that something terrifying would suddenly leap out. Such a thing, judging from the example of the Bloodletter in the past, it was entirely possible that it could happen. Good thing …… nothing happened. After walking to the door of room 104, Zhao Long stopped and walked up to press the doorbell. He then took a breath and took three steps backwards. About ten seconds later, the door, opened. At this time, all three of them were nervous, just afraid that after opening the door, something horrible would appear. And at this time, what appeared in the doorway, was a hunchbacked old lady, the old lady looked at least seventy or eighty years old, under the sparse white hair, her face was densely covered with old age spots, and her eyes were extremely cloudy, as if she had cataracts. "That …… that ……" Zhao Long took another step back and said, "We made an agreement… . to move in as …… tenants. I was the one who called …… just now." "There are …… two less." "Hmm?" "One …… two …… three ……" The old lady trembled and stretched out her fingers, revealing several teeth missing from her mouth, said, "Say yes, there are five people right?" "Well …… yes, it is so …… the other two people, they also want to see the neighborhood environment. Chen …… Mrs. Chen, take us to the house there first." The old lady swept over Zhao Long with her cloudy eyes, then looked at Dong Qi and Dong Ning before continuing in slurred words, "You guys wait for a while." Then, she closed the door. "Phew……" Dong Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Dong Ning, "Ah Ning, don't be afraid…… I… …" "I …… I'm not afraid …… but don't shake so much when you grab my hand ……" Just then, the door opened again, and the old woman walked out with a set of keys. "Follow me." Just then, the lights above them dimmed violently for a moment, and it took about two seconds or so before they came back on. All three of them were startled by this just now, and although Dong Ning didn't say anything, she held onto Dong Xie's hand in a death grip, her nails almost piercing inside Dong Xie's skin! The old lady's head was tilted towards Zhao Long, and the light in front of the elevator brightened a little bit, and at this time, if you look closely, the old lady's cloudy eyeballs, you can barely see much black anymore. Afterward, the old lady …… went in the direction of the stairs. This makes Zhao Long, Dong Qi are very surprised. They had seen the elevator when they came in just now, and seeing that the old lady was so old, they had been worried that she was going to take the elevator. In the past records of the Bloodletter, one by one, the occupants who had escaped death had summarized many survival experiences. Staying away from mirrors, not entering closed spaces as much as possible, etc. during the period of executing the bloodletter were all important common sense. The elevator, during the period of blood word execution, could be completely considered a moving coffin. Originally, Zhao Long was still thinking of finding some reason not to go to the elevator, but now it would save him the trouble. Originally, if it was a normal situation, the old lady, who obviously had problems with her eyesight, no matter whether it was Dong Xie or Dong Ning, would have gone up to give her a hand. But the current scene was so bizarre that neither of them dared to act rashly. Walking to the stairs, the old lady walked in front while they followed right behind. They were going to the fifth floor. And the old lady was obviously struggling to walk, but why didn't she choose to take the elevator? Could it be that the elevator was broken? The old lady was walking slowly, and behind her, Zhao Long, Dong Qi and Dong Ning were also walking rather sluggishly. On the stairs, there were cobwebs all over the place and cracks all over the walls. By the looks of it, it really was quite outdated. All this way, they had been using their cell phones to turn on their torches, dispelling a bit of the darkness as much as possible. Although, the light actually had no effect on the evil spirits, . Just at this time, they reached the 4th floor. And just then, they realized that the stairwell leading to the fourth floor was closed off by an iron door. "It's …… locked here. ……" Zhao Long pointed at the locked iron door and asked, "Here… …" "The fourth floor is blocked." The old lady replied, "Only the elevator can go in." "Blocked?" This immediately caused Zhao Long, Dong Qi and Dong Ning to freeze. "Why ……" But the old lady said nothing next. Dong Ning walked over to that iron door and used her cell phone to shine a light on the inside of the iron door, outside of which was a long, straight corridor, while that inside was completely pitch black. It looked, really quite terrifying. Dong Ning violently gulped a mouthful of saliva, and then, followed Dong Xie as he walked towards the stairs again. Finally, it was the 5th floor. After arriving on the 5th floor, the old lady walked towards a door near the stairwell, took out her key, and opened the door. "This is it." It was a house that was less than a hundred square meters, but it didn't matter the size since five people only needed to stay for a few hours. And after entering it, the old lady turned on the lights, then said, "This is it." "Well …… good ……" "Here's the key. Take it." Just then, Zhao Long suddenly felt weird. The previous signing of the rental contract was between Zhao Long and Mr. Chen's son, who lived in downtown K City, and Mrs. Chen had definitely never seen them before. Without even looking at their ID cards, she gave them the key? Zhao Long took the keys in confusion, and before he could say anything, the old lady spoke, "Remember one thing. No matter what happens, don't go to the 4th floor. No matter …… what …… happens …… what …… happens ……" When saying the last few words, the old lady's voice, became very eerie. "Well …… can't go to the 4th floor? Why?" Zhao Long's heart jumped when he heard these words, I'm afraid that …… the core problem of the blood words is here. He naturally, must ask a clear question. The old lady's cloudy eyes stared at Zhao Long, but without speaking, she turned back directly and walked toward the stairwell. "This …… Mrs. Chen, you say it clearly ah, why can't you go to the 4th floor?" Dong Xie also chased after him, intending to ask a clear question, but Mrs. Chen was not answering, and just walked straight down the steps. Dong Xie wanted to chase after her, but didn't dare. This is in the staircase steps, in case of any accidents, these days there are too many precedents of being blackmailed by old men and women. Seeing that Mrs. Chen towards the downstairs, Zhao Long gritted his teeth and said: ''This way …… later I will call and ask Mr. Chen's son. He should know it. The old lady's speech is disorganized, asking may also be in vain." "The 4th floor …… is the floor below …… can't go to …… then, that below is haunted… . that one?" Zhao Long took out his cell phone and dialed the landlord's son. "That …… Mr. Chen, we have arrived, your father is not there, your mother led us up. It's like this, I have a question ……" "My mother? Mr. Zhao are you kidding? My mother …… died a long time ago!"
