Haunted House Survival System

Chapter 56 Landlord Auntie
Jin Jiu was stunned on the spot, and the phone was still on the payment interface.

He walked towards Room 101 involuntarily, and saw a woman crying bitterly on a crystal coffin, and there were several people in black standing beside her, all with sad expressions.

On the mourning hall behind the coffin, there is a black-framed photo, which is the landlady's aunt.

A chill hit Jin Jiu's heart.

Then who knocked on the door just now to collect the rent?

At this time, a young man in his 20s who came down from upstairs carrying a suitcase was Xiao Wang next door to Jin Jiu.

Seeing Jin Jiu, Xiao Wang patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Xiao Jin, haven't you moved yet?"

Jin Jiu looked at the suitcase in his hand and asked in confusion, "Move? Why?"

Xiao Wang looked inside the mourning hall, put down his suitcase, pulled Jin Jiu aside, and said quietly: "In the past few days since Sister Chen died, the tenants of this building have all moved out one after another, it is not auspicious to live here any longer. "

Jin Jiu asked: "How did the landlord aunt... When did it happen?"

Xiao Wang pouted at the woman in the room and said, "Just three days ago, when Sister Chen's younger sister—here, this woman—came to look for her, she found Sister Chen lying down in the bathroom, as if she had hit her. When I arrived at the sink, I had a cerebral hemorrhage. I heard that when I found it, it stinks. Alas, it’s not good to be single. If something happens, no one will know... Oh, I’m not talking about you, Xiao Jin..."

Jin Jiu didn't care about his words, but a strange feeling was still lingering in his heart.

Seeing that Jin Jiu was silent, Xiao Wang thought he was minding what he said, and said with some embarrassment: "Stop talking, I'm leaving first. Be careful yourself."

After speaking, Xiao Wang left with his suitcase.

Jin Jiu walked back to his room dully and closed the door.

Although he has always been a materialist, if the tenants in this building vacate, he will be left alone.

This seems...not very comfortable either.

Lying on the bed, Jin Jiu stared blankly at the ceiling, his mind was in a mess.

Forget it, I can finally return to reality, so don't think about anything, let's sleep comfortably first.

Because the only light in the room was broken, Jin Jiu didn't have the habit of turning off the computer.Before going to bed, he always moved the mouse habitually to light up the screen, and then waited for it to automatically enter the screen saver and sleep with a black screen.

……

"beep"

The phone suddenly turned on, and Jin Jiu picked it up in a dazed way and looked at it sideways.

A VX message arrives.

Landlady: "Jin Jiu, you are the only one missing this month's rent. When will it be paid?"

Room... The landlord's aunt?
Jin Jiu was startled, and sat up from the bed, completely sleepless.

Could it be her sister, who came to collect rent with her VX?
Thinking about it, Jin Jiu sent a message: "Are you the landlord's aunt?"

The landlord's aunt: "Xiao Wang next door said, your place is a bit noisy at night, are you playing games? Keep your voice down..."

Said the same sentence as the landlord aunt who knocked on the door at night.

……

Jin Jiu was silent here.

"Dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

A sense of fear rose to the top of his head instantly. This feeling has never been felt since the first time he played a horror game.

Even if he was on the scene in "Haunted House", he was never so nervous.

After all, sudden death and the fear of predictable death are completely different.

"Dong dong dong..."

The knocking continued.

"Who... who is it?" Jin Jiu sat on the bed and asked tremblingly.

"The person who was blown away by this wind said that he didn't love deeply..."——The phone on Jin Jiu's bed rang suddenly.

He almost rolled out of bed in fright.

Mobile phone caller ID: "Have you eaten?" Takeaway call.

Hey, it turned out that it was a takeaway knocking on the door, which scared me to death.

Jin Jiu habitually swiped the answer button and opened the door.

Doorway.

The landlord's aunt stood there, her face turned pale, and she stared at Jin Jiu and said, "Jin Jiu, you are the only one missing this month's rent. When will it be paid?"

Jin Jiu was stunned, and the voice of the takeaway came from the mobile phone: "Hi, hello, there is no rider to pick up your order, so it has been canceled for you."

Before the chill had time to fill Jin Jiu's body, he hastily pushed the door shut.

With one hand against the door frame, the landlady continued: "Xiao Wang next door said that your place is a bit noisy at night. Are you playing games? Keep your voice down..."

Fuck, isn't this really in a horror game?
Jin Jiu's psychological endurance is still very strong. He looked at the pale hand, gritted his teeth and opened it, and closed the door with a "bang".

"Huhu..." Jin Jiu panted, leaning his back against the door.

"Dong dong dong..." The knock on the door sounded again.

What the hell is going on?
Again?

"Beep", "beep", "beep", "beep", "beep"...

VX sent another bunch of message prompts.

Landlady: "Jin Jiu, you are the only one missing this month's rent. When will it be paid?"

Landlady: "Jin Jiu, you are the only one missing this month's rent. When will it be paid?"

Landlady: "Jin Jiu, you are the only one missing this month's rent. When will it be paid?"

……

What the hell!what's the situation?
VX news suddenly stopped.

The landlord's aunt: "I'm coming in."

Jin Jiu looked at the last message with horror.

A moment of silence.

The phone went black 10 seconds after receiving the last message.

The room was dark for a while. The house where Jin Jiu lived even had a small rectangular window facing the corridor.

Can't see five fingers.

But the feeling of fear is like a reptile constantly permeating from the top of Jin Jiu's head to his body.

"Jin Jiu..."

Suddenly, the landlord's aunt's voice sounded next to her ear, and Jin Jiu exploded.

The adrenaline was crazily secreted, and a rush of blood rushed to the top of his head. Jin Jiu threw his fist in the direction of the voice and hit it.

"Ah—" a shrill cry sounded.

Jin Jiu stumbled to the bedside, pressed the phone to unlock the screen, and the room suddenly lit up.

At this time, the landlady's aunt had turned into a black ghost, standing in the corner, looking at Jin Jiu in fear.

what happened?

She is afraid of me?

Jin Jiu looked at his fist, and there was a black evil spirit condensed on it.

This is... the evil spirit of the ghost king?

Immediately having an idea in his mind, Jin Jiu walked up to the ghost of the landlady's aunt, and a soft breath rose from him.

The ghost of the landlord aunt seemed to calm down, and said timidly: "After collecting your rent, I can ascend to heaven."

"..."

Jin Jiu was speechless for a while. Could it be that the reason why she stayed in the world was because she was short of rent?

Hey, no matter what, let’s solve the problem first.

Jin Jiu picked up his mobile phone and dialed the rent of 450 yuan to the "landlord aunt" on VX.

"√ Received" is displayed there.

The ghost of the landlady's aunt immediately shrouded in a white light like the wraith in "Haunted House", and then slowly disappeared.

The room became calm again, but Jin Jiu couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

"System...are you there?" Jin Jiu hesitated for a long time, and finally tried to ask.

【…】

"system?"

【…】

"Stop pretending, I've seen your square brackets"

【Hello, I'm here. 】

"Why didn't you show up?"

【I don't want to disturb your experience of returning to reality? 】

"Fuck, what kind of reality is this? Can you explain to me what's going on?"
