Beautiful as a flower in the escape book [Unlimited Stream]
Chapter 20 Happy Apartment "3"
Lu Lingqi collected herself, and when she took a closer look, she found that the door was closed tightly, as if the scene just now was just her illusion.
She shook her head and turned to recall what Zhang Qiming told her.
As we all know, most homicides, if they occur in a relatively narrow space, are usually the victim's spouse who is most likely to be suspected of committing the crime.Especially when the relationship between the two is still very bad.So Zhang Qiming's suspicion is reasonable.
The content of the customs clearance task is simple and direct, and can even be ignored.After all, when they were sent to this world, they tacitly accepted that the most important task among them was not to die.
But this time, he deliberately mentioned it, which made Lu Lingqi seriously suspect that there was more than one fatal crisis lurking in this happy apartment.
Zhang Qiming said in a low voice, "I haven't seen her yet, so I don't know what to do."
What Lu Lingqi didn't understand was why Zhang Qiming would take the initiative to talk to him about this.If it is to ask for help... Xiao Mu, Zhang Hao and the like, aren't they all more reliable than themselves?
"I may not be able to help you with anything." Lu Lingqi said tactfully, "Why don't you go to Ms. Ling? She is a psychological counselor. If you and your wife have irreconcilable conflicts, maybe she can take advantage of her now This role helps you resolve conflicts. And this is where she has the most experience."
Zhang Qiming shook his head: "Ling Yihan is a ruthless character. She has a history of killing teammates."
"What about Zhang Hao? I think you know him very well."
"Zhang Hao..." Zhang Qiming stared at the mirror, his eyes were bloodshot, he looked highly nervous, and said weakly, "Zhang Hao... I suspect he got the inner ghost card."
"Inner ghost card?" Lu Lingqi's head hurt even more, the difficulty of the C-level world has doubled, and even teammates have to guard against each other.For example, she doesn't fully believe Zhang Qiming's words now.
Now he is telling all of his discoveries like peas in a bamboo tube...
Could it be just to confuse himself or he is simply an insider who wants to pick a soft persimmon and make it right first?
"I'm just guessing." Zhang Qiming quickly explained, "He looks a little sneaky."
Lu Lingqi opened her mouth: "I will pay more attention to him."
The two briefly exchanged their current views on other teammates, and Lu Lingqi did not mention the matter of having one more person.She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhang Qiming sincerely.
Zhang Qiming was suddenly stared at by her, his body trembled, and the wet tissue slipped from his hand to the ground: "What, what's wrong?"
Lu Lingqi sincerely said to him: "To tell you the truth, there is actually one thing I didn't say the whole thing..." She deliberately looked around, and then took a few steps closer to Zhang Qiming, "My character has a deep background... ..." Lu Lingqi stretched out her index finger and pointed upwards, winking, "Some things cannot be explained clearly, do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Qiming was confused, and nodded half-understanding.
Lu Lingqi stopped the topic just enough, and glanced at the party.
Most of the people were staggering from drinking, and only a few testers seemed to be sane.
She and Zhang Qiming washed their hands at the sink for a long time, which should have been seen by many people.But no one took the initiative to ask.
Lu Lingqi and Zhang Qiming separated smoothly.
Xiao Mu left first.The other young girls on the field instantly showed a lack of interest, and they also started to walk out.
Lu Lingqi followed the people who left the scene one after another, and walked away with two boxes of lunch, the two pockets of his trousers were stuffed.
This move was seen by the yellow-haired girl.She looked familiar, and sneered lightly. As expected of 302, the whole family is poor ghosts picking up trash, and it's fine to go whoring for a free dinner, and take advantage of the opportunity.
Lu Lingqi has now turned into a powerful actor. Amidst the whispers of some people, she never frowned. She tried to speed up as much as possible so that she would not be too far away from the main force.
The meeting place was on the top floor, and the elevator door was crowded with people, and some impatient ones went directly to the other side of the stairs.Xiao Mu and Ling Yihan both lived on the upper floors, and they also walked towards the stairs.
The apartment is structured in the shape of "pin", with two elevators and three households.Lu Lingqi waited for two rounds before she found the opportunity to sneak into the crowd and pressed the button on the third floor. She calculated in her heart that there were a total of 24 households in the happy apartment.
It is simply an impossible task to convince a hundred or so people that she is an exiled princess.
What's more... How should she judge the other party, did she really believe it or was it just to cooperate with her?
"Little Qi!"
A finger poked Lu Lingqi's lower back, she turned her head to look back, it was the girl who had shown affection to her at the beginning.
"Hurry up!" She urged, and naturally took Lu Lingqi's hand and walked out of the elevator.
Lu Lingqi reacted abruptly.
It seems that her situation in Happy Apartment is not that bad, and she still has friends.
Lu Lingqi hurried out of the elevator with the lunch box under her arm.
An unpleasant stench hit his face.
She covered her nose and looked up. The source of the stench was right in front of her, facing the elevator door.The door is ajar, with a rusty nameplate hanging from it - 302.
The girl beside her looked like she was not surprised, she also covered her nose, hooked Lu Lingqi, and said in a low voice: "When the blockade is over, the plan will remain as usual."
plan?what's the plan?
Lu Lingqi was confused and didn't dare to ask questions directly. She nodded vaguely, and after separating from the girl, she stood alone at the door of 302.
She paid close attention to the movement inside.
The sound of clanging came from her house and echoed clearly in the corridor.This time... on the clock at the party on the top floor, it shows that it has passed zero.
The girl lives in 303, just about to open the door, when the door opened with a "bang", the woman's sharp scolding sound instantly pierced Lu Lingqi's eardrums:
"Chen Yan!! You still know how to come back!!! Why don't you die outside?!! If you die outside, I don't have to raise you, a white-eyed wolf!!"
Chen Yan turned a deaf ear to it, flung the bright-colored bag on her shoulder inside, and walked in.
The door opened, and the tired middle-aged woman stared at the door of 302. Seeing Lu Lingqi standing at the door, she raised her voice and shouted: "Knock and knock all day long! Your house smells so bad that you can't smell it?! Your grandma's brain You are sick, you are not young, can't you take care of her?! The whole family picks up rags and deserves to be unable to eat!"
Before Lu Lingqi could answer, the middle-aged woman turned around and slammed the door heavily.
Lu Lingqi touched his nose, opened the door, held his breath, and strode in.
In a dark room, no lights can be seen.
Lu Lingqi squinted her eyes and took a while to get used to the darkness.
She touched the switch on the wall by the door and pressed the switch, but the incandescent lamp above her head did not respond at all.
Lu Lingqi turned around and simply opened the door to let the light from the corridor shine in, so as to distinguish the scene inside.
A mountain of sundries exudes an unpleasant smell.
Some places are about as high as hers, and the sound of ding ding dong dong hitting iron tools comes from here.
She pulled away the mountain of garbage, and sure enough, she saw an old man with gray hair, squatting there with a small hammer and beating.
Lu Lingqi took out the lunch box from her arms and put it at her feet.She couldn't find a table, and there was nothing but trash in this living room.
The old man stopped beating.She raised her head, her expression was confused for a moment, and the dim light squeezed in through the gap, casting bright and dark traces on her face.
Immediately, the lights in the corridor went out, and everything was completely plunged into darkness.
Lu Lingqi's heart trembled.Subconsciously tightened his body, ready to run at any time.
The tinkling sound then sounded very regularly.The lights in the hallway also came on.
It turns out that the lights in the corridor are voice-activated.
Lu Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, because she was too nervous, her throat became dry and itchy: "Grandma." Lu Lingqi called out in a low voice, "I brought you food."
she whispered.
Lu Lingqi's "grandmother" has the face that everyone will have when they get old - dehydrated and slack skin, drooping eyelids, dull spots, thinning hair, mostly gray, half of the teeth are missing, and the dentures are soaked aside In the small bowl, the appearance of dark red gums sinks and floats in the water.Lu Lingqi glanced at it and immediately moved her eyes away.
The old man seemed to be unable to hear her words at all. After glancing at his granddaughter, he lowered his head and continued to beat tirelessly.
There was another curse from the corridor outside.
Lu Lingqi checked all the switches she could touch, and found that her house had been cut off from electricity, even the water, and the smell in the toilet was terrible.
She walked around the house, finally found her own room, went in directly, and gently closed the door.
She got used to the smell in the house after a long time.She found her own bed, which was fairly tidy.
There was a backpack next to the bed, Lu Lingqi rummaged through it, and found that there were some changes of clothes in it, the style should be her own.
There is also a desk lamp, touch type.As soon as Lu Lingqi touched the switch, the light turned on, and the bright light filled the small room. She held up the desk lamp and walked around the small nest, trying to find more clues.
There are some books on the desk, neatly arranged, covered with colorful covers.There are also a few pens scattered on the side.Lu Lingqi flipped through the contents of the book facing the light of the desk lamp. The book was empty, and occasionally drew a few stick figures. It seemed that she was in a daze in class.
After looking at it for a while, she subconsciously thought of the power source of the desk lamp, and hurriedly searched for it.
Fortunately fortunately.
Lu Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief, solar energy was charged, so she would have to carry a desk lamp in the sun during the day to store enough electricity before taking it back.
She opened the drawer and found a stack of odds and ends. A square charging treasure was pressed on top of it. Several wires were tangled together. A flashlight was placed on the left side.
Lu Lingqi followed the clues and found the mobile phone in the deep drawer.
A very old-fashioned push-button phone with polished buttons.Lu Lingqi tried to turn it on.
The screen of the mobile phone glows brightly, and there is only one battery charge.Lu Lingqi lowered the brightness of the screen and flipped through the text messages.
There is only one text message that shows it has been sent.
She quickly clicked to check.
"Sender: Yan.
I saw it.But I dare not. "
Lu Lingqi memorized the only contact information in the address book, then turned off the phone and put it away, lying on the bed to sort out his thoughts.
She was used to the tinkling outside, but she didn't find it too noisy.
She was lying on her side, and there was a faint sound of fierce arguing in her ears. The voices were a man and a woman, and they seemed to come from downstairs.
It is also mixed with the hysterical crying of the baby.
downstairs……
202?
Lu Lingqi suddenly sat up from the bed.
Didn't Zhang Qiming's wife have a miscarriage? ? !
The baby was crying hard, the sound of the porcelain bowl being smashed was mixed with the chaotic cursing, Lu Lingqi pressed one ear tightly against the bed, and when she realized that she couldn't hear clearly, she rolled over and got out of bed, lying on the floor, and put her ear on the bed. on the floor.
She tried hard to distinguish for a long time, but could only hear the female voice with a resentful tone expressing something emotionally.Then it was quiet again, except for the monotonous howling of the baby.
Lu Lingqi failed in her attempt, so she climbed onto the bed discouraged and closed her eyes.
A good night's dream.
……
When Lu Lingqi woke up, the wind-up alarm clock beside the bed showed that it was almost noon.
Christmas Eve?
Lu Lingqi rubbed her eyes, picked up the old-fashioned alarm clock next to the bed and looked at the time carefully, it was 2 minutes before eleven o'clock.
She had set the alarm clock before going to bed, but the mainspring had long been corroded and unusable, and only the clock could still operate normally with two small batteries.
The knocking sound outside did not know when it had disappeared.Lu Lingqi got out of bed, picked up the solar lamp and went out.
The old man was wrapped in a blanket and huddled in a corner of the debris pile, still in a light sleep.
The lunch box she brought back was opened and placed at the old man's feet, the chopsticks were scattered aside, and she only moved a few mouthfuls.
……
How to do?
What should I do?
Lu Lingqi stood at the elevator entrance and wandered.
Not long ago, she had searched the house without finding a single window.
The whole house is like a completely enclosed space, tightly fitting, and no light can penetrate.
Is it just her house like this, or everyone else's house?
Lu Lingqi couldn't help but wonder if the ultimate purpose of this world was to keep them all trapped in this apartment forever.
She ran to knock on the door of 303 - dong dong dong.
She switched from knocking to shooting, and took several shots in succession, but there was still a dead silence inside.
"Chen Yan, are you there?!" Lu Lingqi shouted at the door.
No answer.
Lu Lingqi had no choice but to give up, she turned back to the elevator door, ready to go to the top floor to see if there was a rooftop or something, or go back to the place where the party was held last night, and find the charging port to charge her flashlight and power bank .
The number of elevator floors gradually rises and jumps to "3".
With a sound of "ding", the elevator door opened in response, there were already several people inside, and one of them was very familiar to Lu Lingqi - Xiao Mu.
When he saw Lu Lingqi, he didn't show any surprise, he leaned in and nodded to her.
Lu Lingqi didn't ask him what he was here for, he got into the elevator and pressed the button for the 9th floor.
The others were all aborigines of Happy Apartment, and the two young girls deliberately went to Xiao Mu's place, stalking and trying to have some communication with him.
All of these conversations fell into Lu Lingqi's ears. From what she heard, the content of these girls' chats was meaningless, they were just looking for something to say!
"Brother Xiao, have you had lunch yet?"
"Ah."
"What are you eating?"
"Instant noodles."
"Eating too much instant noodles is bad for your health."
"I don't eat it often either."
"Brother Xiao, why did you go out suddenly today?"
"Something to deal with."
"Brother Xiao, I wasn't allowed to come last night. Later, we heard that you actually came, so we came."
"It's a pleasure to be with you all."
"Usually you don't come out at home, it's very difficult for everyone to see you. This is the first time I see you for two consecutive days!"
……
When Lu Lingqi heard the two girls say "Brother Xiao" one by one, goosebumps popped up all over his arms.It's too exaggerated, even romance novels don't act like this! !
She peeked at the two girls who were chattering at Xiao Mu, and they were indeed the two from the party last night. There was no concealment of admiration and admiration on their faces, and they moved as close as possible to Xiao Mu, squeezing him into a corner .
Hell, Xiao Mu is more like an inner ghost!Lu Lingqi can believe that he is a deep diver in a human state.
The elevator reached the eighth floor, Xiao Mu said goodbye politely, and walked out alone, only the two girls and Lu Lingqi were left in the elevator.
The air was suddenly quiet.
The two girls pressed the button on the fifth floor again, and after reaching the ninth floor, Lu Lingqi went straight out, turned around, found the stairs, and wanted to see if there was a way to the rooftop.
She walked cautiously to the stairwell.
There is an ascending staircase in front of you.
Lu Lingqi boldly walked up, and when he reached the corner, the road ahead was suddenly blocked, only the snow-white wall made of cement was a dead end.
Lu Lingqi punched it in frustration, and the cement dust fell down.
According to her current strength value, it is completely impossible to break through this wall.
She tried unsuccessfully, so she decisively chose to give up, and was about to go back to the meeting place to check again, and the bathroom, she couldn't believe it was an illusion!
Lu Lingqi turned around and walked back, thick dust piled up on the handrail of the stairs, Lu Lingqi retracted her hand, lowered her head, and found that she had stepped on a piece of yellow talisman paper.
The talisman paper is obviously to ward off evil spirits.Lu Lingqi squatted down, picked up the talisman paper, and observed the contents on the paper, but didn't see anything special. Just as she was about to get up, the sound of light footsteps came from a distance in the empty corridor.
Suddenly, the back of her neck felt slightly cold, and she restrained her breathing, curled up, and poked her head out a little.
A girl with a ponytail appeared in her vision.
Lu Lingqi immediately recognized her identity - Zhao Lulu.
She's on the next floor... the eighth floor.
Lu Lingqi bit her lip, didn't Zhao Lulu live on the sixth floor?What is she doing on the eighth floor?The eighth floor... the tester on the eighth floor is Xiao Mu.Did she come to find Xiao Mu?
Lu Lingqi stretched her neck, maintained a very stiff posture, and poked her head out.
If this Zhao Lulu raised her head, she would be able to see Lu Lingqi's head.
But she obviously had very important things to do, and after looking around, another person flashed into the stairwell.
Wang Jie.
That middle-aged old fisherman.
Could it be that they are secretly uniting?
Lu Lingqi observed suspiciously that the two were close together, Zhao Lulu reached out and patted Wang Jie's shoulder, straightened his neckline, stuffed something into Wang Jie's pocket, and then stepped aside.
Wang Jie walked out of the stairs.Zhao Lulu hid in the stairwell and waited.
Lu Lingqi heard a knock on the door.
After a few vague and unintelligible human voices, everything returned to silence.
Obviously, Xiao Mu didn't let Wang Jie in.After a while, Wang Jie turned back and left with Zhao Lulu without saying a word.
In the dimly lit corridor, Lu Lingqi stood in place without daring to move. After confirming that both of them had left and would not turn back, they breathed a sigh of relief.
She was only half out of breath when footsteps came from the silent corridor.
She immediately held her breath and maintained her posture.
Another figure sneaked up from the stairwell.
Is it over yet! !
Why did Zhao Lulu leave, and Qiao Shengnan came here! !
Qiao Shengnan's whereabouts are strange no matter how you look at them.She stood where Zhao Lulu had stood, knelt on the ground, and then carefully squeezed something. In Lu Lingqi's eyes, she squeezed a ball of air.
She stared and saw Qiao Shengnan put the air under his nose and sniffed it, and then realized that it might be a hair.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Lingqi saw another scene that made her unable to sleep tonight.
Qiao Shengnan stuffed this long hair into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then made an obvious swallow.
!!!
Lu Lingqi grabbed her wrist and watched Qiao Shengnan sneak away again.
It's over, it's all crazy.
Her teammates are all crazy.
Lu Lingqi sat on the steps and thought dumbly, what is this all about.
After waiting for a long time, no one appeared in the corridor on the next floor, and then Lu Lingqi floated back to the meeting place like a wandering spirit, and turned on the light switch.
The mess from the party was still there, and it didn't seem like it had been cleaned at all.
Lu Lingqi fumbled to find the charging port, and then went to the toilet to find out.
It's daylight now, twelve o'clock at noon.
If there is a ghost...it shouldn't be so harmful to people.What's more, nothing happened to Zhang Qiming when he went to the bathroom last night.
Lu Lingqi thought quite optimistically.
She took out her pocket, pasted the talisman paper she picked up on her forehead to strengthen herself, then summoned the skull hammer, held it in her hand, and walked towards the bathroom step by step.
The Skull Crusher doesn't do much in her hands.
Just holding it made Lu Lingqi almost use up all her strength, she just held it to frighten ghosts who might hurt her.
Lu Lingqi slowly took a step towards the door of the men's room, and gently kicked the door open with her toes.
The inside was empty and empty, there was a big puddle of water on the white tiles, one side was a row of urinals, all glowing with a thick dark yellow color, the other side was composed of compartments, and several door locks were clearly visible. If it is corroded, it will be open.
Lu Lingqi walked in stepping on the water.
The sound of water dripping, I don't know where the faucet is not turned off tightly, or the water pipe is leaking, the sound of water dripping echoes endlessly in the empty toilet, it is cold and makes the scalp numb.
Holding the skull hammer, Lu Lingqi walked to the door of the cubicle, and began to push open one by one for inspection.
There are five compartments in total, and none of them are occupied.
There are no ghosts either.
There were only the sound of Lu Lingqi's footsteps on the white tiles and the monotonous sound of water droplets.
Ordinary, all bathrooms have the same layout, and there are also terrible details that may appear in all bathrooms. For example, one of the cubicles is extremely smelly, and the last person who used it obviously has no sense of public morality.
In the inner room, Lu Lingqi placed the skull smasher against the wall, loosened the belt, and prepared to take the opportunity to solve his personal physical problems.
She had just pulled off the belt when she suddenly thought that the gatekeeper was most likely staring at her between the scenes!
Thinking of this, Lu Lingqi's nervous mood relaxed a little.
What she did, her struggles, her desperation and pain, in some people's eyes, may be just a good show that is going on.
She crouched down fearlessly.
The air froze the moment she squatted down, and the breath stuck in her throat.
A pair of black high heels appeared in the gap below the compartment.
There are clear blue veins on the snow-white feet, and smooth and delicate skin.
She maintained such an awkward posture, all the muscles in her body were tensed.
Then, the pair of shoes moved forward silently, and gradually enlarged in Lu Lingqi's eyes, until the toe of the high-heeled shoes almost poked into the gap below.
Lu Lingqi fixed her eyes on the toes of her high heels, her eyes were sore and sore.
Everything fell into an eerie silence.
The creature outside made a sound.
"Lu Lingqi...is that you?"
This voice...it sounds like Ling Yihan.
Lu Lingqi quickly got up and put on his pants, and pressed his hand on the flush button, hesitating not to press it.
"Lu Lingqi...is that you?"
The voice outside asked tirelessly.
Lu Lingqi didn't speak.
"I just saw you come in." The woman outside stated, her voice was faintly laughing, and there was a sound of cloth rubbing, as if someone fell down.
Lu Lingqi lowered her head, desperately staring at the gap under the door frame, for fear that a face would suddenly appear there.Her body was leaning against the cold tile wall, and cold sweat was streaming down her entire back.
"Look, I really caught you~"
With a low laugh, a black shadow fell from the top of his head.
Lu Lingqi raised her head in a "swish" as if in stress.
Above the door panel, a black head slowly appeared.
She was so nervous that she was almost speechless, but her amazing will to survive made her break her mouth immediately, with a trembling voice:
"You are... Ling Yihan?"
"Yes." The female voice replied softly, "I see you have entered here. Come out quickly, I have something to tell you."
"You can, you can tell me first." Lu Lingqi's tongue was tied, she swallowed dryly, and then held the handle of the skull hammer.
"You come out first." The female voice insisted, "I..."
Before the woman could finish her sentence, a gust of wind hit, and there was a deafening crash, and the door of the compartment, which was originally of poor quality, fell to the ground with a "bang".
Lu Lingqi smashed the door with a hammer.
She looked a little exhausted, she stood with the hammer upside down, her bloodshot eyes were almost glued to the woman in front of her.
She came out as if she had been chased by evil spirits for a long time.
Ling Yihan frowned, stared at her, and rubbed his eyebrows: "What did you see?"
Lu Lingqi stared at Ling Yihan's face, looked at her from top to bottom, and first looked at the pair of white canvas shoes on Ling Yihan's feet.
……
Just standing outside the door...
Who is it?
Her mind was down for a long time before she came back to her senses: "What are you doing outside the door? Are you following me?"
Lu Lingqi's question was extremely sharp, she didn't care too much about the world, she just wanted to know the reason why Ling Yihan appeared here.
"I'll wait outside the door for you to come out." Ling Yihan replied succinctly, narrowing his eyes slightly, looking into Lu Lingqi's pupils carefully, "I saw you go up the stairs, and I happened to have this plan too."
She sneered: "There is no exit here. I checked up and down, and there is not even a window. It is a very pure confined space."
Ling Yihan leaned down slightly, and gently brushed Lu Lingqi's hair scattered on his forehead with his slender fingers, those few strands of hair were already soaked in cold sweat and divided into strands.
Lu Lingqi was so nervous that he held his breath, looked down and saw Ling Yihan's thin lips were as bright as blood, and couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.
"It's you... who acted suspiciously. You came to the men's restroom alone for no reason. After I saw you, you followed me to find out. Isn't it unreasonable?"
Lu Lingqi was speechless.
"Did you encounter something dirty?" Ling Yihan hooked his lips, pointed his finger between Lu Lingqi's lips, and his blunt nails slowly slid down her soft lips until they reached Lu Lingqi's throat , then lightly paused, and tapped on her chest.
"The heartbeat is so fast..." Ling Yihan's tone was gentle, his fine eyelashes fluttered like wings, "Did you see something you shouldn't have seen?"
"You can tell me, you should know my strength, and I will protect you."
She completely lacked the seriousness and coldness she had when she first entered the world, and the words she poured out were completely in line with the personality of her psychological counselor. She was clearly pressing every step of the way, but it made people feel disgusted and rebellious.
Lu Lingqi could hardly resist such a gentle attack. When she was about to tell the whole story, an unbearable fishy smell came from behind Ling Yihan, making it difficult for Lu Lingqi to breathe on the spot. Rolled his eyes.
Ling Yihan obviously also smelled it, but she reacted much more calmly than Lu Lingqi, slowly straightened up, and looked at the puddle of sewage behind her.
She just glanced at it, took out a plastic spray bottle from her pocket, and sprayed it on the white tiles.
Then she turned off the light in the bathroom.
The moment Ling Yihan reached out to turn off the light, Lu Lingqi almost screamed, but the faint bluish-white light from the floor made her shut her mouth subconsciously.
Ling Yihan turned on the light again, looking rather distressed.
"What should I do..." She said softly, although she said so, she didn't show any real troubles, "People have died here."
"A resident of the apartment?" After Lu Lingqi asked, she realized that she had said a nonsense, and hurriedly added, "Who will die in the men's room? Was it murdered?"
Ling Yihan glanced at her suspiciously: "I mean, someone must have died in this apartment. And the men's room may be one of the crime scenes..."
"one?!"
"I carry the reagent bottle with me, and I don't just use it here." Ling Yihan said with a smile.
At this moment, Lu Lingqi didn't have time to feel how quickly Ling Yihan integrated into the character, she just wanted to know how many clues Ling Yihan had found now!
"Don't you live in a garbage dump?" Ling Yihan asked her, "Your grandma would hoard all the things that people in the building don't want at home. When you went back last night, didn't you look through it?"
You live in a dump, and your whole family lives in a dump.Lu Lingqi cursed bitterly.
But Ling Yihan's words did remind her that she really didn't consider thoroughly in searching for clues. There should be a few newspapers hidden in the pile of debris as high as her house.
There may still be many detailed records of the reports about the cause and effect of the blockade of the apartment.And as for the dead people Ling Yihan mentioned...
When an apartment keeps dying, it's bound to be on the news too.
And... if you look through the garbage mountain, you may be able to find more information about the residents of the apartment.
Lu Lingqi bit the tip of her tongue to keep herself awake, then slowly retreated to the cubicle, squatted down, and began to rummage through the trash can.
Lu Lingqi rummaged through the trash bins that were full, and went to the next one.
Until she came to the toilet that didn't flush, and habitually pressed the flush button.
The water power is sufficient, but the thing that is blocking the entrance will not go down.
Lu Lingqi didn't care about her image, nor how dirty and smelly the place was, so when the reservoir was full, she pressed the flush button again.
Sure enough, he still didn't rush down.
Ling Yihan looked at Lu Lingqi's movements, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She stepped forward, stared at the muddy sewage in the pool, without even frowning, took out a thing from her pocket, and quickly threw it into the blocked entrance , and then quickly backed away to a place far, far away at a speed that Lu Lingqi's eyes could not catch.
Lu Lingqi:?
As soon as her doubts emerged from the bottom of her heart, there was a terrible boiling sound from the blocked entrance, "gurgling", as if something was rushing upwards.
Lu Lingqi immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly clung to the top of the partition with flexible hands and feet.
She was only halfway up the climb, and it was too late.
"Boom".
The urinal exploded.
The sewage surged up and splashed up to a height of more than one meter.
Lu Lingqi's lower body felt cold, and she said "it's broken" in her heart.
When Lu Lingqi jumped down from the other side, Ling Yihan stretched out his arm and raised his palm to prevent her from approaching.
She covered her nose and said with disgust, "Stay away from me."
Lu Lingqi: ...
She takes a deep breath.
Why didn't she find Ling Yihan so annoying before! !
Ling Yihan continued to speak in a light tone: "Anyway, you are already like this, so just take out the things inside."
Lu Lingqi: ...
She told herself that this is a primeval jungle, with Darwinism in mind, and the survival of the fittest. She can't be angry, but learn to be patient and judge the situation.
Lu Lingqi stepped on the dirty water enduring the stench, turned back to the exploding urinal, and picked up two wet medicine boxes folded in half.
The words on it had been soaked to the point of being barely readable.
Lu Lingqi unpacked them one by one, took out a board of pills wrapped in foil, and carefully observed them against the light of the toilet.
The pills inside had long since disappeared, and Lu Lingqi vaguely recognized a word based on the torn foil.
She opened her mouth and was about to read, but Ling Yihan stopped her.
She was still smiling, her eyes seemed to be full of stars and moons, bright and clear: "Did you forget? I am a psychological counselor. This packaging box contains quetiapine, a drug for treating mental illness. "
"What mental illness?"
Ling Yihan was a little understated: "Bipolar disorder, bipolar disorder or something like that."
"Zhang Qiming's wife, does she have this kind of disease? Did she come to you for treatment?" Lu Lingqi asked her.
Ling Yihan smiled irrefutably: "I haven't had any guests for a long time."
She seemed to be hinting at something.
Lu Lingqi looked at the mess all over the floor, raised her head and asked her: "What should we do here? How can we explain when other people come? The smell is so bad that the toilet exploded?"
Ling Yihan raised his eyebrows, his thin lips were delicately colored, and Lu Lingqi's eyes were full of colors: "No need to explain."
she said softly.
"Soon, someone will die."
Ling Yihan dropped the unknown death notice, then closed his eyes lightly, turned around and went out towards the door.
Lu Lingqi trotted behind her: "Speak clearly! Is your mission to make everyone in the building believe that you have psychic abilities? You're so talkative!"
Ling Yihan stopped abruptly, turned around, and looked at Lu Lingqi with a half-smile.
Lu Lingqi stopped the car and looked at her in surprise.
"No, no. Not right." Lu Lingqi stammered, "No way? This is too outrageous!"
"Half guessed right." Ling Yihan chuckled softly, with a nasal laziness, then stretched out his slender fingers and pushed Lu Lingqi's shoulder, pushing her away from him, brows knotted, "Keep your distance. You stink."
Lu Lingqi: ...
Damn it, I shouldn't have cared if you could finish it just now.
The two left the men's room one after the other.
Ling Yihan stopped again.
Lu Lingqi focused on following her, without any precautions, and almost bumped into her.
Ling Yihan pushed her away again by a certain distance, opened a pack of wet tissues, lowered his head and wiped his hands slowly.
Lu Lingqi: ...
"So what..." As soon as Lu Lingqi opened her mouth, the door of the women's toilet opposite was suddenly knocked open, interrupting her subsequent complaints.
Zhang Hao came out of the women's room opposite in a panic, followed by a strange woman with withered, messy hair and a haggard complexion.
Lu Lingqi couldn't help but look back at the sign on the toilet.
Yes, they just came from the men's room
She shook her head and turned to recall what Zhang Qiming told her.
As we all know, most homicides, if they occur in a relatively narrow space, are usually the victim's spouse who is most likely to be suspected of committing the crime.Especially when the relationship between the two is still very bad.So Zhang Qiming's suspicion is reasonable.
The content of the customs clearance task is simple and direct, and can even be ignored.After all, when they were sent to this world, they tacitly accepted that the most important task among them was not to die.
But this time, he deliberately mentioned it, which made Lu Lingqi seriously suspect that there was more than one fatal crisis lurking in this happy apartment.
Zhang Qiming said in a low voice, "I haven't seen her yet, so I don't know what to do."
What Lu Lingqi didn't understand was why Zhang Qiming would take the initiative to talk to him about this.If it is to ask for help... Xiao Mu, Zhang Hao and the like, aren't they all more reliable than themselves?
"I may not be able to help you with anything." Lu Lingqi said tactfully, "Why don't you go to Ms. Ling? She is a psychological counselor. If you and your wife have irreconcilable conflicts, maybe she can take advantage of her now This role helps you resolve conflicts. And this is where she has the most experience."
Zhang Qiming shook his head: "Ling Yihan is a ruthless character. She has a history of killing teammates."
"What about Zhang Hao? I think you know him very well."
"Zhang Hao..." Zhang Qiming stared at the mirror, his eyes were bloodshot, he looked highly nervous, and said weakly, "Zhang Hao... I suspect he got the inner ghost card."
"Inner ghost card?" Lu Lingqi's head hurt even more, the difficulty of the C-level world has doubled, and even teammates have to guard against each other.For example, she doesn't fully believe Zhang Qiming's words now.
Now he is telling all of his discoveries like peas in a bamboo tube...
Could it be just to confuse himself or he is simply an insider who wants to pick a soft persimmon and make it right first?
"I'm just guessing." Zhang Qiming quickly explained, "He looks a little sneaky."
Lu Lingqi opened her mouth: "I will pay more attention to him."
The two briefly exchanged their current views on other teammates, and Lu Lingqi did not mention the matter of having one more person.She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhang Qiming sincerely.
Zhang Qiming was suddenly stared at by her, his body trembled, and the wet tissue slipped from his hand to the ground: "What, what's wrong?"
Lu Lingqi sincerely said to him: "To tell you the truth, there is actually one thing I didn't say the whole thing..." She deliberately looked around, and then took a few steps closer to Zhang Qiming, "My character has a deep background... ..." Lu Lingqi stretched out her index finger and pointed upwards, winking, "Some things cannot be explained clearly, do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Qiming was confused, and nodded half-understanding.
Lu Lingqi stopped the topic just enough, and glanced at the party.
Most of the people were staggering from drinking, and only a few testers seemed to be sane.
She and Zhang Qiming washed their hands at the sink for a long time, which should have been seen by many people.But no one took the initiative to ask.
Lu Lingqi and Zhang Qiming separated smoothly.
Xiao Mu left first.The other young girls on the field instantly showed a lack of interest, and they also started to walk out.
Lu Lingqi followed the people who left the scene one after another, and walked away with two boxes of lunch, the two pockets of his trousers were stuffed.
This move was seen by the yellow-haired girl.She looked familiar, and sneered lightly. As expected of 302, the whole family is poor ghosts picking up trash, and it's fine to go whoring for a free dinner, and take advantage of the opportunity.
Lu Lingqi has now turned into a powerful actor. Amidst the whispers of some people, she never frowned. She tried to speed up as much as possible so that she would not be too far away from the main force.
The meeting place was on the top floor, and the elevator door was crowded with people, and some impatient ones went directly to the other side of the stairs.Xiao Mu and Ling Yihan both lived on the upper floors, and they also walked towards the stairs.
The apartment is structured in the shape of "pin", with two elevators and three households.Lu Lingqi waited for two rounds before she found the opportunity to sneak into the crowd and pressed the button on the third floor. She calculated in her heart that there were a total of 24 households in the happy apartment.
It is simply an impossible task to convince a hundred or so people that she is an exiled princess.
What's more... How should she judge the other party, did she really believe it or was it just to cooperate with her?
"Little Qi!"
A finger poked Lu Lingqi's lower back, she turned her head to look back, it was the girl who had shown affection to her at the beginning.
"Hurry up!" She urged, and naturally took Lu Lingqi's hand and walked out of the elevator.
Lu Lingqi reacted abruptly.
It seems that her situation in Happy Apartment is not that bad, and she still has friends.
Lu Lingqi hurried out of the elevator with the lunch box under her arm.
An unpleasant stench hit his face.
She covered her nose and looked up. The source of the stench was right in front of her, facing the elevator door.The door is ajar, with a rusty nameplate hanging from it - 302.
The girl beside her looked like she was not surprised, she also covered her nose, hooked Lu Lingqi, and said in a low voice: "When the blockade is over, the plan will remain as usual."
plan?what's the plan?
Lu Lingqi was confused and didn't dare to ask questions directly. She nodded vaguely, and after separating from the girl, she stood alone at the door of 302.
She paid close attention to the movement inside.
The sound of clanging came from her house and echoed clearly in the corridor.This time... on the clock at the party on the top floor, it shows that it has passed zero.
The girl lives in 303, just about to open the door, when the door opened with a "bang", the woman's sharp scolding sound instantly pierced Lu Lingqi's eardrums:
"Chen Yan!! You still know how to come back!!! Why don't you die outside?!! If you die outside, I don't have to raise you, a white-eyed wolf!!"
Chen Yan turned a deaf ear to it, flung the bright-colored bag on her shoulder inside, and walked in.
The door opened, and the tired middle-aged woman stared at the door of 302. Seeing Lu Lingqi standing at the door, she raised her voice and shouted: "Knock and knock all day long! Your house smells so bad that you can't smell it?! Your grandma's brain You are sick, you are not young, can't you take care of her?! The whole family picks up rags and deserves to be unable to eat!"
Before Lu Lingqi could answer, the middle-aged woman turned around and slammed the door heavily.
Lu Lingqi touched his nose, opened the door, held his breath, and strode in.
In a dark room, no lights can be seen.
Lu Lingqi squinted her eyes and took a while to get used to the darkness.
She touched the switch on the wall by the door and pressed the switch, but the incandescent lamp above her head did not respond at all.
Lu Lingqi turned around and simply opened the door to let the light from the corridor shine in, so as to distinguish the scene inside.
A mountain of sundries exudes an unpleasant smell.
Some places are about as high as hers, and the sound of ding ding dong dong hitting iron tools comes from here.
She pulled away the mountain of garbage, and sure enough, she saw an old man with gray hair, squatting there with a small hammer and beating.
Lu Lingqi took out the lunch box from her arms and put it at her feet.She couldn't find a table, and there was nothing but trash in this living room.
The old man stopped beating.She raised her head, her expression was confused for a moment, and the dim light squeezed in through the gap, casting bright and dark traces on her face.
Immediately, the lights in the corridor went out, and everything was completely plunged into darkness.
Lu Lingqi's heart trembled.Subconsciously tightened his body, ready to run at any time.
The tinkling sound then sounded very regularly.The lights in the hallway also came on.
It turns out that the lights in the corridor are voice-activated.
Lu Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, because she was too nervous, her throat became dry and itchy: "Grandma." Lu Lingqi called out in a low voice, "I brought you food."
she whispered.
Lu Lingqi's "grandmother" has the face that everyone will have when they get old - dehydrated and slack skin, drooping eyelids, dull spots, thinning hair, mostly gray, half of the teeth are missing, and the dentures are soaked aside In the small bowl, the appearance of dark red gums sinks and floats in the water.Lu Lingqi glanced at it and immediately moved her eyes away.
The old man seemed to be unable to hear her words at all. After glancing at his granddaughter, he lowered his head and continued to beat tirelessly.
There was another curse from the corridor outside.
Lu Lingqi checked all the switches she could touch, and found that her house had been cut off from electricity, even the water, and the smell in the toilet was terrible.
She walked around the house, finally found her own room, went in directly, and gently closed the door.
She got used to the smell in the house after a long time.She found her own bed, which was fairly tidy.
There was a backpack next to the bed, Lu Lingqi rummaged through it, and found that there were some changes of clothes in it, the style should be her own.
There is also a desk lamp, touch type.As soon as Lu Lingqi touched the switch, the light turned on, and the bright light filled the small room. She held up the desk lamp and walked around the small nest, trying to find more clues.
There are some books on the desk, neatly arranged, covered with colorful covers.There are also a few pens scattered on the side.Lu Lingqi flipped through the contents of the book facing the light of the desk lamp. The book was empty, and occasionally drew a few stick figures. It seemed that she was in a daze in class.
After looking at it for a while, she subconsciously thought of the power source of the desk lamp, and hurriedly searched for it.
Fortunately fortunately.
Lu Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief, solar energy was charged, so she would have to carry a desk lamp in the sun during the day to store enough electricity before taking it back.
She opened the drawer and found a stack of odds and ends. A square charging treasure was pressed on top of it. Several wires were tangled together. A flashlight was placed on the left side.
Lu Lingqi followed the clues and found the mobile phone in the deep drawer.
A very old-fashioned push-button phone with polished buttons.Lu Lingqi tried to turn it on.
The screen of the mobile phone glows brightly, and there is only one battery charge.Lu Lingqi lowered the brightness of the screen and flipped through the text messages.
There is only one text message that shows it has been sent.
She quickly clicked to check.
"Sender: Yan.
I saw it.But I dare not. "
Lu Lingqi memorized the only contact information in the address book, then turned off the phone and put it away, lying on the bed to sort out his thoughts.
She was used to the tinkling outside, but she didn't find it too noisy.
She was lying on her side, and there was a faint sound of fierce arguing in her ears. The voices were a man and a woman, and they seemed to come from downstairs.
It is also mixed with the hysterical crying of the baby.
downstairs……
202?
Lu Lingqi suddenly sat up from the bed.
Didn't Zhang Qiming's wife have a miscarriage? ? !
The baby was crying hard, the sound of the porcelain bowl being smashed was mixed with the chaotic cursing, Lu Lingqi pressed one ear tightly against the bed, and when she realized that she couldn't hear clearly, she rolled over and got out of bed, lying on the floor, and put her ear on the bed. on the floor.
She tried hard to distinguish for a long time, but could only hear the female voice with a resentful tone expressing something emotionally.Then it was quiet again, except for the monotonous howling of the baby.
Lu Lingqi failed in her attempt, so she climbed onto the bed discouraged and closed her eyes.
A good night's dream.
……
When Lu Lingqi woke up, the wind-up alarm clock beside the bed showed that it was almost noon.
Christmas Eve?
Lu Lingqi rubbed her eyes, picked up the old-fashioned alarm clock next to the bed and looked at the time carefully, it was 2 minutes before eleven o'clock.
She had set the alarm clock before going to bed, but the mainspring had long been corroded and unusable, and only the clock could still operate normally with two small batteries.
The knocking sound outside did not know when it had disappeared.Lu Lingqi got out of bed, picked up the solar lamp and went out.
The old man was wrapped in a blanket and huddled in a corner of the debris pile, still in a light sleep.
The lunch box she brought back was opened and placed at the old man's feet, the chopsticks were scattered aside, and she only moved a few mouthfuls.
……
How to do?
What should I do?
Lu Lingqi stood at the elevator entrance and wandered.
Not long ago, she had searched the house without finding a single window.
The whole house is like a completely enclosed space, tightly fitting, and no light can penetrate.
Is it just her house like this, or everyone else's house?
Lu Lingqi couldn't help but wonder if the ultimate purpose of this world was to keep them all trapped in this apartment forever.
She ran to knock on the door of 303 - dong dong dong.
She switched from knocking to shooting, and took several shots in succession, but there was still a dead silence inside.
"Chen Yan, are you there?!" Lu Lingqi shouted at the door.
No answer.
Lu Lingqi had no choice but to give up, she turned back to the elevator door, ready to go to the top floor to see if there was a rooftop or something, or go back to the place where the party was held last night, and find the charging port to charge her flashlight and power bank .
The number of elevator floors gradually rises and jumps to "3".
With a sound of "ding", the elevator door opened in response, there were already several people inside, and one of them was very familiar to Lu Lingqi - Xiao Mu.
When he saw Lu Lingqi, he didn't show any surprise, he leaned in and nodded to her.
Lu Lingqi didn't ask him what he was here for, he got into the elevator and pressed the button for the 9th floor.
The others were all aborigines of Happy Apartment, and the two young girls deliberately went to Xiao Mu's place, stalking and trying to have some communication with him.
All of these conversations fell into Lu Lingqi's ears. From what she heard, the content of these girls' chats was meaningless, they were just looking for something to say!
"Brother Xiao, have you had lunch yet?"
"Ah."
"What are you eating?"
"Instant noodles."
"Eating too much instant noodles is bad for your health."
"I don't eat it often either."
"Brother Xiao, why did you go out suddenly today?"
"Something to deal with."
"Brother Xiao, I wasn't allowed to come last night. Later, we heard that you actually came, so we came."
"It's a pleasure to be with you all."
"Usually you don't come out at home, it's very difficult for everyone to see you. This is the first time I see you for two consecutive days!"
……
When Lu Lingqi heard the two girls say "Brother Xiao" one by one, goosebumps popped up all over his arms.It's too exaggerated, even romance novels don't act like this! !
She peeked at the two girls who were chattering at Xiao Mu, and they were indeed the two from the party last night. There was no concealment of admiration and admiration on their faces, and they moved as close as possible to Xiao Mu, squeezing him into a corner .
Hell, Xiao Mu is more like an inner ghost!Lu Lingqi can believe that he is a deep diver in a human state.
The elevator reached the eighth floor, Xiao Mu said goodbye politely, and walked out alone, only the two girls and Lu Lingqi were left in the elevator.
The air was suddenly quiet.
The two girls pressed the button on the fifth floor again, and after reaching the ninth floor, Lu Lingqi went straight out, turned around, found the stairs, and wanted to see if there was a way to the rooftop.
She walked cautiously to the stairwell.
There is an ascending staircase in front of you.
Lu Lingqi boldly walked up, and when he reached the corner, the road ahead was suddenly blocked, only the snow-white wall made of cement was a dead end.
Lu Lingqi punched it in frustration, and the cement dust fell down.
According to her current strength value, it is completely impossible to break through this wall.
She tried unsuccessfully, so she decisively chose to give up, and was about to go back to the meeting place to check again, and the bathroom, she couldn't believe it was an illusion!
Lu Lingqi turned around and walked back, thick dust piled up on the handrail of the stairs, Lu Lingqi retracted her hand, lowered her head, and found that she had stepped on a piece of yellow talisman paper.
The talisman paper is obviously to ward off evil spirits.Lu Lingqi squatted down, picked up the talisman paper, and observed the contents on the paper, but didn't see anything special. Just as she was about to get up, the sound of light footsteps came from a distance in the empty corridor.
Suddenly, the back of her neck felt slightly cold, and she restrained her breathing, curled up, and poked her head out a little.
A girl with a ponytail appeared in her vision.
Lu Lingqi immediately recognized her identity - Zhao Lulu.
She's on the next floor... the eighth floor.
Lu Lingqi bit her lip, didn't Zhao Lulu live on the sixth floor?What is she doing on the eighth floor?The eighth floor... the tester on the eighth floor is Xiao Mu.Did she come to find Xiao Mu?
Lu Lingqi stretched her neck, maintained a very stiff posture, and poked her head out.
If this Zhao Lulu raised her head, she would be able to see Lu Lingqi's head.
But she obviously had very important things to do, and after looking around, another person flashed into the stairwell.
Wang Jie.
That middle-aged old fisherman.
Could it be that they are secretly uniting?
Lu Lingqi observed suspiciously that the two were close together, Zhao Lulu reached out and patted Wang Jie's shoulder, straightened his neckline, stuffed something into Wang Jie's pocket, and then stepped aside.
Wang Jie walked out of the stairs.Zhao Lulu hid in the stairwell and waited.
Lu Lingqi heard a knock on the door.
After a few vague and unintelligible human voices, everything returned to silence.
Obviously, Xiao Mu didn't let Wang Jie in.After a while, Wang Jie turned back and left with Zhao Lulu without saying a word.
In the dimly lit corridor, Lu Lingqi stood in place without daring to move. After confirming that both of them had left and would not turn back, they breathed a sigh of relief.
She was only half out of breath when footsteps came from the silent corridor.
She immediately held her breath and maintained her posture.
Another figure sneaked up from the stairwell.
Is it over yet! !
Why did Zhao Lulu leave, and Qiao Shengnan came here! !
Qiao Shengnan's whereabouts are strange no matter how you look at them.She stood where Zhao Lulu had stood, knelt on the ground, and then carefully squeezed something. In Lu Lingqi's eyes, she squeezed a ball of air.
She stared and saw Qiao Shengnan put the air under his nose and sniffed it, and then realized that it might be a hair.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Lingqi saw another scene that made her unable to sleep tonight.
Qiao Shengnan stuffed this long hair into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then made an obvious swallow.
!!!
Lu Lingqi grabbed her wrist and watched Qiao Shengnan sneak away again.
It's over, it's all crazy.
Her teammates are all crazy.
Lu Lingqi sat on the steps and thought dumbly, what is this all about.
After waiting for a long time, no one appeared in the corridor on the next floor, and then Lu Lingqi floated back to the meeting place like a wandering spirit, and turned on the light switch.
The mess from the party was still there, and it didn't seem like it had been cleaned at all.
Lu Lingqi fumbled to find the charging port, and then went to the toilet to find out.
It's daylight now, twelve o'clock at noon.
If there is a ghost...it shouldn't be so harmful to people.What's more, nothing happened to Zhang Qiming when he went to the bathroom last night.
Lu Lingqi thought quite optimistically.
She took out her pocket, pasted the talisman paper she picked up on her forehead to strengthen herself, then summoned the skull hammer, held it in her hand, and walked towards the bathroom step by step.
The Skull Crusher doesn't do much in her hands.
Just holding it made Lu Lingqi almost use up all her strength, she just held it to frighten ghosts who might hurt her.
Lu Lingqi slowly took a step towards the door of the men's room, and gently kicked the door open with her toes.
The inside was empty and empty, there was a big puddle of water on the white tiles, one side was a row of urinals, all glowing with a thick dark yellow color, the other side was composed of compartments, and several door locks were clearly visible. If it is corroded, it will be open.
Lu Lingqi walked in stepping on the water.
The sound of water dripping, I don't know where the faucet is not turned off tightly, or the water pipe is leaking, the sound of water dripping echoes endlessly in the empty toilet, it is cold and makes the scalp numb.
Holding the skull hammer, Lu Lingqi walked to the door of the cubicle, and began to push open one by one for inspection.
There are five compartments in total, and none of them are occupied.
There are no ghosts either.
There were only the sound of Lu Lingqi's footsteps on the white tiles and the monotonous sound of water droplets.
Ordinary, all bathrooms have the same layout, and there are also terrible details that may appear in all bathrooms. For example, one of the cubicles is extremely smelly, and the last person who used it obviously has no sense of public morality.
In the inner room, Lu Lingqi placed the skull smasher against the wall, loosened the belt, and prepared to take the opportunity to solve his personal physical problems.
She had just pulled off the belt when she suddenly thought that the gatekeeper was most likely staring at her between the scenes!
Thinking of this, Lu Lingqi's nervous mood relaxed a little.
What she did, her struggles, her desperation and pain, in some people's eyes, may be just a good show that is going on.
She crouched down fearlessly.
The air froze the moment she squatted down, and the breath stuck in her throat.
A pair of black high heels appeared in the gap below the compartment.
There are clear blue veins on the snow-white feet, and smooth and delicate skin.
She maintained such an awkward posture, all the muscles in her body were tensed.
Then, the pair of shoes moved forward silently, and gradually enlarged in Lu Lingqi's eyes, until the toe of the high-heeled shoes almost poked into the gap below.
Lu Lingqi fixed her eyes on the toes of her high heels, her eyes were sore and sore.
Everything fell into an eerie silence.
The creature outside made a sound.
"Lu Lingqi...is that you?"
This voice...it sounds like Ling Yihan.
Lu Lingqi quickly got up and put on his pants, and pressed his hand on the flush button, hesitating not to press it.
"Lu Lingqi...is that you?"
The voice outside asked tirelessly.
Lu Lingqi didn't speak.
"I just saw you come in." The woman outside stated, her voice was faintly laughing, and there was a sound of cloth rubbing, as if someone fell down.
Lu Lingqi lowered her head, desperately staring at the gap under the door frame, for fear that a face would suddenly appear there.Her body was leaning against the cold tile wall, and cold sweat was streaming down her entire back.
"Look, I really caught you~"
With a low laugh, a black shadow fell from the top of his head.
Lu Lingqi raised her head in a "swish" as if in stress.
Above the door panel, a black head slowly appeared.
She was so nervous that she was almost speechless, but her amazing will to survive made her break her mouth immediately, with a trembling voice:
"You are... Ling Yihan?"
"Yes." The female voice replied softly, "I see you have entered here. Come out quickly, I have something to tell you."
"You can, you can tell me first." Lu Lingqi's tongue was tied, she swallowed dryly, and then held the handle of the skull hammer.
"You come out first." The female voice insisted, "I..."
Before the woman could finish her sentence, a gust of wind hit, and there was a deafening crash, and the door of the compartment, which was originally of poor quality, fell to the ground with a "bang".
Lu Lingqi smashed the door with a hammer.
She looked a little exhausted, she stood with the hammer upside down, her bloodshot eyes were almost glued to the woman in front of her.
She came out as if she had been chased by evil spirits for a long time.
Ling Yihan frowned, stared at her, and rubbed his eyebrows: "What did you see?"
Lu Lingqi stared at Ling Yihan's face, looked at her from top to bottom, and first looked at the pair of white canvas shoes on Ling Yihan's feet.
……
Just standing outside the door...
Who is it?
Her mind was down for a long time before she came back to her senses: "What are you doing outside the door? Are you following me?"
Lu Lingqi's question was extremely sharp, she didn't care too much about the world, she just wanted to know the reason why Ling Yihan appeared here.
"I'll wait outside the door for you to come out." Ling Yihan replied succinctly, narrowing his eyes slightly, looking into Lu Lingqi's pupils carefully, "I saw you go up the stairs, and I happened to have this plan too."
She sneered: "There is no exit here. I checked up and down, and there is not even a window. It is a very pure confined space."
Ling Yihan leaned down slightly, and gently brushed Lu Lingqi's hair scattered on his forehead with his slender fingers, those few strands of hair were already soaked in cold sweat and divided into strands.
Lu Lingqi was so nervous that he held his breath, looked down and saw Ling Yihan's thin lips were as bright as blood, and couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.
"It's you... who acted suspiciously. You came to the men's restroom alone for no reason. After I saw you, you followed me to find out. Isn't it unreasonable?"
Lu Lingqi was speechless.
"Did you encounter something dirty?" Ling Yihan hooked his lips, pointed his finger between Lu Lingqi's lips, and his blunt nails slowly slid down her soft lips until they reached Lu Lingqi's throat , then lightly paused, and tapped on her chest.
"The heartbeat is so fast..." Ling Yihan's tone was gentle, his fine eyelashes fluttered like wings, "Did you see something you shouldn't have seen?"
"You can tell me, you should know my strength, and I will protect you."
She completely lacked the seriousness and coldness she had when she first entered the world, and the words she poured out were completely in line with the personality of her psychological counselor. She was clearly pressing every step of the way, but it made people feel disgusted and rebellious.
Lu Lingqi could hardly resist such a gentle attack. When she was about to tell the whole story, an unbearable fishy smell came from behind Ling Yihan, making it difficult for Lu Lingqi to breathe on the spot. Rolled his eyes.
Ling Yihan obviously also smelled it, but she reacted much more calmly than Lu Lingqi, slowly straightened up, and looked at the puddle of sewage behind her.
She just glanced at it, took out a plastic spray bottle from her pocket, and sprayed it on the white tiles.
Then she turned off the light in the bathroom.
The moment Ling Yihan reached out to turn off the light, Lu Lingqi almost screamed, but the faint bluish-white light from the floor made her shut her mouth subconsciously.
Ling Yihan turned on the light again, looking rather distressed.
"What should I do..." She said softly, although she said so, she didn't show any real troubles, "People have died here."
"A resident of the apartment?" After Lu Lingqi asked, she realized that she had said a nonsense, and hurriedly added, "Who will die in the men's room? Was it murdered?"
Ling Yihan glanced at her suspiciously: "I mean, someone must have died in this apartment. And the men's room may be one of the crime scenes..."
"one?!"
"I carry the reagent bottle with me, and I don't just use it here." Ling Yihan said with a smile.
At this moment, Lu Lingqi didn't have time to feel how quickly Ling Yihan integrated into the character, she just wanted to know how many clues Ling Yihan had found now!
"Don't you live in a garbage dump?" Ling Yihan asked her, "Your grandma would hoard all the things that people in the building don't want at home. When you went back last night, didn't you look through it?"
You live in a dump, and your whole family lives in a dump.Lu Lingqi cursed bitterly.
But Ling Yihan's words did remind her that she really didn't consider thoroughly in searching for clues. There should be a few newspapers hidden in the pile of debris as high as her house.
There may still be many detailed records of the reports about the cause and effect of the blockade of the apartment.And as for the dead people Ling Yihan mentioned...
When an apartment keeps dying, it's bound to be on the news too.
And... if you look through the garbage mountain, you may be able to find more information about the residents of the apartment.
Lu Lingqi bit the tip of her tongue to keep herself awake, then slowly retreated to the cubicle, squatted down, and began to rummage through the trash can.
Lu Lingqi rummaged through the trash bins that were full, and went to the next one.
Until she came to the toilet that didn't flush, and habitually pressed the flush button.
The water power is sufficient, but the thing that is blocking the entrance will not go down.
Lu Lingqi didn't care about her image, nor how dirty and smelly the place was, so when the reservoir was full, she pressed the flush button again.
Sure enough, he still didn't rush down.
Ling Yihan looked at Lu Lingqi's movements, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She stepped forward, stared at the muddy sewage in the pool, without even frowning, took out a thing from her pocket, and quickly threw it into the blocked entrance , and then quickly backed away to a place far, far away at a speed that Lu Lingqi's eyes could not catch.
Lu Lingqi:?
As soon as her doubts emerged from the bottom of her heart, there was a terrible boiling sound from the blocked entrance, "gurgling", as if something was rushing upwards.
Lu Lingqi immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly clung to the top of the partition with flexible hands and feet.
She was only halfway up the climb, and it was too late.
"Boom".
The urinal exploded.
The sewage surged up and splashed up to a height of more than one meter.
Lu Lingqi's lower body felt cold, and she said "it's broken" in her heart.
When Lu Lingqi jumped down from the other side, Ling Yihan stretched out his arm and raised his palm to prevent her from approaching.
She covered her nose and said with disgust, "Stay away from me."
Lu Lingqi: ...
She takes a deep breath.
Why didn't she find Ling Yihan so annoying before! !
Ling Yihan continued to speak in a light tone: "Anyway, you are already like this, so just take out the things inside."
Lu Lingqi: ...
She told herself that this is a primeval jungle, with Darwinism in mind, and the survival of the fittest. She can't be angry, but learn to be patient and judge the situation.
Lu Lingqi stepped on the dirty water enduring the stench, turned back to the exploding urinal, and picked up two wet medicine boxes folded in half.
The words on it had been soaked to the point of being barely readable.
Lu Lingqi unpacked them one by one, took out a board of pills wrapped in foil, and carefully observed them against the light of the toilet.
The pills inside had long since disappeared, and Lu Lingqi vaguely recognized a word based on the torn foil.
She opened her mouth and was about to read, but Ling Yihan stopped her.
She was still smiling, her eyes seemed to be full of stars and moons, bright and clear: "Did you forget? I am a psychological counselor. This packaging box contains quetiapine, a drug for treating mental illness. "
"What mental illness?"
Ling Yihan was a little understated: "Bipolar disorder, bipolar disorder or something like that."
"Zhang Qiming's wife, does she have this kind of disease? Did she come to you for treatment?" Lu Lingqi asked her.
Ling Yihan smiled irrefutably: "I haven't had any guests for a long time."
She seemed to be hinting at something.
Lu Lingqi looked at the mess all over the floor, raised her head and asked her: "What should we do here? How can we explain when other people come? The smell is so bad that the toilet exploded?"
Ling Yihan raised his eyebrows, his thin lips were delicately colored, and Lu Lingqi's eyes were full of colors: "No need to explain."
she said softly.
"Soon, someone will die."
Ling Yihan dropped the unknown death notice, then closed his eyes lightly, turned around and went out towards the door.
Lu Lingqi trotted behind her: "Speak clearly! Is your mission to make everyone in the building believe that you have psychic abilities? You're so talkative!"
Ling Yihan stopped abruptly, turned around, and looked at Lu Lingqi with a half-smile.
Lu Lingqi stopped the car and looked at her in surprise.
"No, no. Not right." Lu Lingqi stammered, "No way? This is too outrageous!"
"Half guessed right." Ling Yihan chuckled softly, with a nasal laziness, then stretched out his slender fingers and pushed Lu Lingqi's shoulder, pushing her away from him, brows knotted, "Keep your distance. You stink."
Lu Lingqi: ...
Damn it, I shouldn't have cared if you could finish it just now.
The two left the men's room one after the other.
Ling Yihan stopped again.
Lu Lingqi focused on following her, without any precautions, and almost bumped into her.
Ling Yihan pushed her away again by a certain distance, opened a pack of wet tissues, lowered his head and wiped his hands slowly.
Lu Lingqi: ...
"So what..." As soon as Lu Lingqi opened her mouth, the door of the women's toilet opposite was suddenly knocked open, interrupting her subsequent complaints.
Zhang Hao came out of the women's room opposite in a panic, followed by a strange woman with withered, messy hair and a haggard complexion.
Lu Lingqi couldn't help but look back at the sign on the toilet.
Yes, they just came from the men's room
