Chapter 224 224. Really

In the surveillance video, the first thing is the content shot in the corridor.

I saw a woman with long black hair in a wedding dress standing at the elevator entrance in the corridor. Soon the elevator arrived at the floor and she walked into the elevator.

The video switched to the inside of the elevator. The woman was standing coldly in the corner of the elevator. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at the camera, which was creepy.

When the woman left the elevator, it switched to the surveillance video of the lobby on the first floor. The woman came to the closed iron gate, suddenly melted into a shadow like snow, and slipped out through the crack in the door.

"Is it haunted?"

Security guard Uncle Qin said to the others.

"Hiss, evil!"

On the other side, the old man walking the bird with a birdcage also said.

"Young man, what do you think?"

On the side, the old woman who had just returned from shopping for groceries looked at Qiao Mu.

"It really is!"

Qiao Mu also agreed.

Isn't this my ghost bride last night?

"Old Qin, you have to protect us."

The old man walking the bird said something and left the apartment with the bird cage as if nothing happened.

Everyone dispersed.

Qiao Mu sat in front of security guard Uncle Qin.

"Uncle Qin, let me ask you something."

"you say."

Uncle Qin took a sip of the wolfberry water from the thermos cup.

"If you leave here at twelve o'clock in the evening, will you die?"

Qiao Mu is very serious.

"."

Uncle Qin's movements were frozen.

He glanced at Qiao Mu and then at the surveillance camera.

"So it was really you last night? You walked out?"

Uncle Qin couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, and then I died."

Qiao Mu nodded.

"?"

A question mark appeared on Uncle Qin's head. He didn't know whether Qiao Mu was joking or if he really had any ability.

"Uncle Qin, you haven't answered my question yet. There seems to be something wrong with this apartment. Is it haunted? I'm not talking about the ghost bride, but a real ghost."

Qiao Mu asked.

".Since you have moved in, I won't hide it."

Uncle Qin sighed and said immediately.

"There are two rules in this apartment. The first is that you cannot leave the apartment between 12 o'clock in the morning and 6 o'clock the next morning."

"The second rule is that you cannot move out unless new residents move in, and when new residents move in, the residents who have lived there the longest can move out."

"You saw the people in Room 903 moving out yesterday, right? That's because they are the ones who have lived in this building the longest, so they can move out as soon as you come in."

After listening to Uncle Qin's description, Qiao Mu thought for a while.

That seems to be the case.

"How did you find out?"

As an investigator, Qiao Mu must inquire clearly.

"I don't know. I was looking for a job more than ten years ago. I found that the salary for security guards here was quite high, and they also included food and accommodation. So I came to work, but I found out that I was on a pirate ship."

Uncle Qin said in an ups and downs, just like the commentators in the short videos he often watched.

"The person who paid me at the time told me these two rules, and asked me to tell those who moved in not to violate them. Over the years, there were some people who didn't believe in evil and got into trouble, but later on everyone If you understand, nothing will happen."

"What about Da Zhuang from Room 910?"

Qiao Mu asked.

"Da Zhuang? Oh, the one you said committed suicide, he seems to have indeed committed suicide."

Uncle Qin paused before answering.

"If there is such a suicide, how will the rules be understood?"

Qiao Mu asked.

"It won't affect it. If someone commits suicide, there will always be one less family like this."

Uncle Qin touched his chin.

Qiao Mu noticed that when he was talking about these things, the elderly security guard showed no fear or guilt at all, just like he was talking about the weather on the news.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m used to it.

"Have you never thought of calling the police?"

As a good, law-abiding citizen, Qiao Mu naturally thought of calling the police the first thing he thought of.

"Do you think the police will believe this?"

Uncle Qin was a little helpless.

"You see, just like this time, the young man who called 910 committed suicide. The police came to investigate and found no problem. The police didn't care about this haunting."

"That's true."

Qiao Mu thought for a moment.

Da Zhuang may have a different inspiration than ordinary people, so he discovered something was wrong in the apartment. Because of the rules of Happy Apartment, he lost his job and was desperate, so he chose to commit suicide, and he had to perform exaggeratedly to attract the attention of the police.

Of course, it is also possible that because he has a certain depth, he was directly contaminated by this apartment and became mentally disturbed, so he chose to commit suicide.

Otherwise, just do a normal job, come back before twelve o'clock every night, and get up and go out after six o'clock the next day, and live a pretty healthy life.

It’s a pity that I can’t travel out of the city.

For Qiao Mu, the biggest trouble would be when he goes on a mission later.

For those of you who live in a foreign country, I don’t know, but in this world, it would be too funny to go to another place for two days and then say to your colleagues at 12 o’clock in the middle of the night, “I’m sorry, I want to die.”

Qiao Mu said goodbye to security guard Uncle Qin and came to the office to work.

He watered the grass in the pot on the window sill, turned on the computer, and continued to search for news related to Xingfu Apartment in the database.

After watching it for a while, he probably guessed why Zhou Mingke and the others didn't mark this abnormality.

First of all, this anomaly is really harmless in most cases.

Secondly, those who suffered from this abnormal hazard died completely.

Finally, the impact conditions of this anomaly were too harsh, and colleagues at NHI were almost inaccessible.

Anomalies that are easily noticed by investigators either have a wide range of effects and affect many ordinary people, or the contaminated people are not completely dead and run out to cause trouble, or they can be seen at a glance while walking on the road.

An anomaly like Xingfu Apartment, which can only be triggered after signing a contract and moving in, and leaving home at twelve o'clock in the evening, is indeed not easy to detect.

However, Qiao Mu also discovered some rule bugs in this anomaly.

For example, the dead are not affected, because the way it causes damage is to absorb souls and make people spiral up to the sky in a 360-degree spiral. But because the dead have already died once, they will not die again.

He decided to try again tonight to see if there were any other bugs.

For example, although you cannot leave the apartment after twelve o'clock, going up to the rooftop of the apartment does not count as triggering the rule, and climbing out of the window does not count as triggering the rule.

For another example, the ghost bride is a dead person and will not be chewed to death. What about the machine life? The small animals living in the apartment are not counted as residents.

He surfed in the office all day, had dinner out, and came home to check his phone.

After twelve o'clock, the Happy Apartment seemed to be shrouded in a veil, becoming hazy.

Qiao Mu had just finished watching a video titled "How did you know I caught a twenty-pound fish?" and he got up from the bed.

"It's time for the experiment to begin."
