Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

In summer, the noisy cicadas keep chirping, and there seems to be a looming heat wave in the air. Even if you hold a parasol, you will soon become sweaty when walking on the street.

Under the shade of the trees, even when the wind blows, it cannot relieve the heat at all. It is really too hot, and the wind is also hot. In such a hot summer season, everyone just wants to hide in an air-conditioned room.

Bai Yao was in the same situation, but now she had to stand under a tree, braving the heat wave, and almost yelled at the person on the phone, "I came out with my suitcase, and now you tell me that you can't sell the house to me!?"

The man on the phone said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Miss Bai. The landlord had originally agreed to sign the contract with you today and you could move in right away, but something unexpected happened."

"What accident?" Bai Yao said, "Don't tell me someone died in his family!"

The agent said awkwardly: "Someone is dead."

Bai Yao: "...ah?"

The agent said: "The police found the owner's missing boyfriend was built into the bedroom wall. Now the owner has been arrested and the house has been sealed."

The agent's voice was filled with emotion. "Ms. Bai, I have found several houses for you. Every time, either the owner fell and passed out, or someone was murdered in the house. Really, I am not superstitious, but can you go to the temple to pray?"

At the end of the story, the agent was a little overwhelmed. Bai Yao's family was rich, and when buying a house, they didn't look at the price, but only whether it suited their taste. He thought he had taken on a big order and was very motivated at work, but he had never encountered such a weird thing in all his years in the industry!

Wherever Bai Yao goes, trouble happens. It seems that this young lady is born with bad luck. Even if he is given more money, he dare not do business with her!

But Bai Yao always felt good about herself. Rather than saying that she was wrong, she would rather say that the world was wrong. She snorted nonchalantly, "Don't put the blame on me. When I was a child, my mother took me to the temple to draw lots, and the lots were all good! Since this house is not good, find me another one."

"No, no, no, I really can't do anything, Miss Bai, my mother called me home to drink soup, I won't talk to you anymore, bye!"

There was a beep and the phone was hung up.

Bai Yao looked at the call ending interface on her phone screen and kicked the tree trunk in anger. The tree didn't move, but her foot hurt a lot.

The sanitation worker who was sweeping the floor nearby was holding a broom and staring at Bai Yao.

Bai Yao realized that her character was not good enough. She calmly withdrew her foot and touched the tree trunk as if nothing had happened. She muttered, "I just wanted to see if the tree was strong. It's great. It's very strong. It can be fine even if there's a typhoon."

"Miss," the old man said, "you are from another place, are you looking for a house to live in?"

Bai Yao looked at the old man and nodded, "Yes."

The old man took out a crumpled flyer from his pocket and said, "The houses here are for sale and rent. If you are interested, you can take a look."

This is an advertising leaflet that looks very old. In the picture, there is a front view of a building with a sign that says "Rose Building". The person who took the picture probably didn't have very good skills, as he made the building appear pitch black. Of the two words "Rose", only the "瑰" (rose) is lit, and the character next to it is dimly visible. The only thing that catches people's attention at first glance is the character "鬼" (ghost).

The moment she got the flyer, Bai Yao, who was standing in the heat wave, suddenly felt a chill and felt much cooler. For some unknown reason, she decided to go to the address above to take a look.

Bai Yao came to Qionghua City this time because the hospital where she would do her internship in her senior year was here. Her parents were worried about her traveling so far alone and wanted to arrange everything for her. However, Bai Yao was about to graduate and thought she was still capable of living independently, so she made many decisions on her own this time.

However, she shamelessly accepted the pocket money her parents gave her.

After getting off the taxi, Bai Yao looked up at the old building not far away, then turned back to look at the gate of Qionghua City Central Hospital across the street, thinking to herself what a coincidence! If she were to rent a house, she would rent here, so that it would be convenient for her to go to and from get off work every day.

She took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead, then walked into the dim and old-fashioned alley in front of her, dragging the suitcase in one hand and holding a flyer in the other.

The alleys here are crisscrossed, and even if you follow the navigation, you may not be able to go the right way.

There were boys around seven or eight years old squatting in the alley playing marbles. In the silence, the sound of the glass beads colliding together was particularly harsh.

Bai Yao stopped and asked politely: "Little friend, how do I get to Rose Building?"

The boy raised his face. His skin was pale and his eyes were extremely dark. He stared at Bai Yao for a long time and pointed in a direction: "Go inside, turn left, walk to the end, and then turn right and you will arrive."

Bai Yao silently took note and said, "Okay, thank you."

The little boy replied politely: "You're welcome, Auntie."

Bai Yao's eyelids twitched.

A woman's voice came from deep in the alley: "Anzi, where have you been? Anzi!"

The boy grabbed the marbles, got up and ran.

Bai Yao didn't bother with the child. She picked up her suitcase and walked in the direction the boy pointed. On the other side of the alley, she saw a haggard woman.

The woman was holding a bag of snacks in her hand, which must have been just bought. She called "An Zi"'s name and was very anxious. Fortunately, the boy quickly ran to her side. She laughed out loud, squatted down and showed the snacks she had just bought to the child.

Bai Yao withdrew her gaze and continued forward.

"Good afternoon, everyone. I'm the one who makes delicious fried pork with chili peppers. I'll be broadcasting live outdoors to you all starting today!" The masked woman said to the phone on the stand in front of her, gesticulating with joy, "Do you know where I am now? I'm right in front of the gate of the Rose Building!"

She seems to be working in the live broadcast industry. Even though she is on camera, she still has to wear a mask to cover her face in the middle of summer, as if she is ashamed to be seen by others and she doesn't even feel the heat.

"The Rose Building has always been surrounded by various supernatural legends. It is said that anyone who walks in will encounter misfortune. Many murders have occurred here. Oh, and there was once an incident in 405 where an entire family committed suicide by burning charcoal. But someone said that one night when they passed by 405, they heard a quarrel coming from inside!"

"No one is here, but there are noises of quarreling. This is too weird!"

"Of course, I know a lot more about Rose Building related events. I have done special research on this. If you want to hear more, don't forget to follow me!" The masked woman made a heart shape with her hands toward the camera. "My dears, I am the author of Stir-fried Pork with Chili Peppers. Please follow me! If I get more than 100,000 likes, I will go to Rose Building and broadcast live to you all!"
