Horror revival: A ghost call at the beginning!
#136 - Chapter 136: The Old Man at 502
Lin Yu estimated that Wu Tian was the only Ghost Controller left in the Haunted Dormitory.
The others who could escape had mostly run away.
According to the Ghost Controllers who reported to headquarters, living in the Haunted Dormitory required constant participation in paranormal events and completion of tasks in exchange for living in the dormitory.
And the most important aspect of living in the dormitory was the ability to prevent the resurgence of the vengeful ghosts within their bodies!
This was the reason why those Ghost Controllers, even after controlling vengeful ghosts, still chose to live in the Haunted Dormitory.
To live on higher floors, the tasks required were also different.
Because the higher floors could even help Ghost Controllers recover their health!
As everyone knows, Ghost Controllers generally become neither human nor ghost due to the vengeful ghosts.
Take Wu Tian, who lives on the first floor, for example.
He completed a paranormal event and earned the qualification to live on the first floor.
However, it was only the most basic qualification for入住.
Although it could prevent the vengeful ghost in his body from resurging, it could not restore his health.
Some ambitious people would climb upwards, whether for the truth or for a complete body.
"Ordinary methods cannot affect the body of a Ghost Controller. The fact that the Haunted Dormitory can restore the health of a Ghost Controller means that it definitely has a paranormal ability that can affect the body of a Ghost Controller!"
Lin Yu's eyes gradually lit up.
His Ghost Domain could affect reality, but it could not affect Ghost Controllers.
For example, something he lost!
But if there was a paranormal entity in the Haunted Dormitory that could affect the body of a Ghost Controller.
Could he retrieve his lost treasure?
At this moment, unimportant matters were thrown behind Lin Yu, and he kept exploring the floors above, just to find that kind of paranormal ability and control it!
The second floor was empty, and the third and fourth floors were also empty, until Lin Yu arrived at the fifth floor.
This was already the highest floor that the Ghost Controllers who had escaped from the Haunted Dormitory could reach.
As for the sixth floor, no one had ever been up there.
Because that was the floor where the vengeful ghosts started patrolling, and it contained great terror, so no one wanted to go up there.
Standing in the corridor on the fifth floor, the lights here were even darker and more oppressive, as if they wanted to devour everything.
"The person in 502 hasn't left yet, and even ordered takeout, tricking the takeout guy in..."
Lin Yu walked to the door of room 502.
The Haunted Dormitory had paranormal isolation, and electronic devices could not be used inside, so it was naturally impossible to order takeout.
Therefore, it could only be the guy living here who ordered takeout when he left the Haunted Dormitory.
And the one who could leave the Haunted Dormitory and order takeout must be a living person; a vengeful ghost could not do this.
"Knock knock knock!"
Lin Yu knocked on the door directly, as if he had no taboos.
The knocking sound echoed in the silent and dark fifth floor, as if it would attract something terrible.
The lights flickered, as if a vengeful ghost would launch a paranormal attack on Lin Yu at any moment.
"Who is it?"
An old voice sounded from inside room 502.
"Takeout delivery, your takeout is here!"
Lin Yu continued to knock on the door.
The takeout of the two delivery guys, Zhang Wei and Li Ergou, had not been delivered.
According to them, they encountered strange things before the customer came to open the door to pick up the meal when they knocked on the door on the 5th floor.
So the two of them ran away.
And now, the door of 502 was pushed open.
Living in room 502 was an old man, which surprised Lin Yu somewhat.
Again, Ghost Controllers were a group of short-lived ghosts.
Being able to control vengeful ghosts and live to a ripe old age was probably only possible for Ghost Controllers of the old era.
The old man in front of him instantly made Lin Yu vigilant.
"Are you a Ghost Controller from the old era?"
Lin Yu asked.
"What old era Ghost Controller? I'm just an old geezer. It's really difficult to adapt to the new era!"
"Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
The old man seemed very kind and pointed to the room.
Lin Yu poked his head in and looked around. The room basically had no decorations, and the furniture was so simple that there was only a rosewood bed and a red table.
There was also a very old TV.
The environment of the Haunted Dormitory was a bit poor. If it weren't for the forced recruitment, few people would really be willing to live here.
Lin Yu followed the old man into the room.
The next moment, the dim environment in the room suddenly became bright.
Lin Yu looked around and realized that several oil lamps had been added to the walls on both sides, illuminating room 502.
"Come, have some tea."
Looking back, he saw the old man conjuring two stools from somewhere, and he sat on one himself.
On the table, there was already a cup of steaming tea.
This bizarre scene in the eyes of ordinary people seemed commonplace to Lin Yu.
Obviously, the old man in front of him was a Ghost Controller from the old era, the manager of the Haunted Dormitory.
Only the manager of the Haunted Dormitory could easily change the pattern inside the Haunted Dormitory.
Just like rewriting reality with a Ghost Domain.
"You have food and drink here, why do you still order takeout?"
"Of course, the most important thing is, why do you keep absorbing living people into the Haunted Dormitory!"
Lin Yu asked very directly.
"I've already said, I'm just an old geezer who wants to adapt to the new era."
"I've been asleep for too long and have become disconnected from society."
"When I woke up, there were too many strange things in the world, just like seeing a ghost!"
The old man shook his head and took a sip of tea gently.
"Don't beat around the bush with me, answer my question directly!"
Lin Yu saw that the old man was not nervous at all and was still talking nonsense with him, and couldn't help but say.
"Hehe, look at you, what's the hurry? It's not like I won't tell you!"
"These things from the new era are really interesting, for example, this TV..."
As the old man spoke, the old TV suddenly had a picture.
Lin Yu looked at the TV.
The TV flashed snowflakes, and then a picture appeared.
In the picture, it was a small room with simple furnishings, only a bed and a table.
Several oil lamps were lit on the walls of the room, and under the illumination of the oil lamps, it could be seen clearly.
Two people were sitting around the table, one of whom was drinking tea unhurriedly.
And the other person had a trace of urgency on his face.
The two people looked at the only electrical appliance in the room at the same time.
An old TV!
"Isn't this me?"
Lin Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but look carefully at the TV screen.
Because the picture playing on the TV was exactly the environment he was in now!
And when Lin Yu turned his head, the him in the TV also made the action of turning his head synchronously!
The old man laughed happily, still drinking tea unhurriedly.
"Old fart, don't be shameless, stop pretending in front of me?"
Lin Yu shouted coldly, raised his hand and was about to grab the old man beside him.
