spooky invasion

Chapter 220 The Weird Apartment Building
bang bang bang!
The door banged louder and louder.

The elevator door opened, and the three of them had just stepped out of the elevator when the loud slamming sound made the door frame seem to be dislodged, and the wall skin fell down.

Among the three, Mr. Ke, who fell last, turned pale, and firmly pressed the down button of the elevator, refusing to let go.As long as the situation is not right, he will rush back to the elevator without hesitation and run away.

Luo Chu and Jiang Yue didn't seem to care too much about his actions. They both listened with their ears up, as if they were not in a hurry to investigate the crazy door slamming.

Mr. Ke couldn't help but wonder in his heart, wondering whether these two people were a little out of order.

The sound of slamming the door was very evil, but these two people didn't seem to care at all, and they didn't panic at all?Not curious at all?
A normal person would never be so crazy when they smashed the door.

This posture of smashing the door, unless it is a murder scene, is eager to escape.

However, the door is closed inward.

People outside want to enter the house, and there is no way to get in without a key.

If the people inside wanted to come out, why did they still smash the door?Doesn't it come out when the doorknob is pulled?
If you're at home in broad daylight, you won't be able to lock yourself inside the house, right? How about some insurance?Even if it is locked, you can use the key to open the door.

Why do you want to smash the door?

Every time it was smashed inside, the anti-theft door vibrated visibly, as if the entire door frame might be smashed away at any time.

Luo Chu frowned and asked, "Xiao Jiang, what do you think?"

"Not like a normal person."

At this moment, the banging on the door suddenly stopped.

The screams inside seemed to have calmed down.

Instead, there was an ear-piercing crunching sound.

It's like a cat's paws scratching the door, or a spatula scratching an iron pan, no matter how uncomfortable it sounds.

Crunch...crunch...

At this time, there was a sudden ringing of the phone in the empty corridor.

The three looked at each other, startled.

Immediately, Mr. Ke looked disheartened, and took out his mobile phone tremblingly.

When I took a closer look, I almost screamed, my hand shook, and the phone fell to the ground with a bang.

A spider pattern suddenly appeared on the screen.

Ke concluded, stammering, his face pale: "Yes...it's him..."

"Who?" Jiang Yue asked in surprise.

"Old...Old Dong..."

How could it be him?Wasn't the phone turned off when I called him earlier?
Jiang Yue and Luo Chu were also a little confused.

"Pick it up." Jiang Yue reminded.

Mr. Ke looked at the door of the apartment, and then at the phone.Some hesitated.

But eventually he gritted his teeth and connected the phone with the speaker on.

"Old Dong? Where are you?"

In order to strengthen his courage, Mr. Ke asked first.

There was no response from the other side of the phone, but it was obvious that there was a heavy panting sound on the other side of the phone, like the low growl of a wild animal.

The sound was abnormal and creepy.

Mr. Ke's hand holding the mobile phone kept shaking, and this poor mobile phone kept shaking in his hand, which undoubtedly revealed the fear in Mr. Ke's heart.

"Old Dong?" Mr. Ke called again into the phone.

"Cough cough cough..."

There was a violent cough, which sounded as if he was about to cough up his entire lung.

After the coughing finally ended, a slow and gloomy voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

"You-you-every-person-will-die!!"

what?
This sentence was said in a deep and slow voice, but the words were clearly pronounced, and Mr. Ke could hear it clearly!
Snapped!
The troubled mobile phone fell to the ground again, and the entire screen was completely shattered.

Mr. Ke was sweating profusely, his whole body was shaking with fright, and he couldn't go on acting anymore, so he just cried and shouted that I want to go home, let me go home!

Jiang Yue was not surprised. It was not the first time he heard this sentence.

"Luo Chu, I want to go in and have a look."

This is a private house, and it stands to reason that one cannot break into it at will.When Jiang Yue said this, he was actually telling Luo Chu that I would leave it to you to finish the work.

Luo Chu nodded.

Jiang Yue stepped forward, but he didn't see any effort, as if the door had been concealed in the first place.

Stretching out his hand to pull, the anti-theft door made a muffled sound, and the entire structure of the lock collapsed at once. The anti-theft door made a creaking sound, and Jiang Yue pulled it open.

When the door was opened, a figure fell out almost simultaneously.

Taking a closer look, it was Mr. Dong whom Jiang Yue and the others had been tracking down.

"Old Dong?" Mr. Ke was dumbfounded.

Jiang Yue stopped Mr. Ke behind him, stepped forward, and roughly ripped a pair of earphones from Mr. Dong's ear.

"you……"

Seeing Jiang Yue's rough actions, Mr. Ke couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Mr. Ke, have you seen this headset?"

Mr. Ke was still in shock, but he still said truthfully: "Old Dong once gave me a pair, saying that it was an international brand. I am not interested in this thing, and I forgot where I left it. I haven't even dismantled it."

International brand?

High imitation is high imitation, talk about international brands.

Jiang Yue said: "Mr. Ke, you finally did a wise thing."

"What? Is there a problem with the earphones?"

"People who have been exposed to this headset are either dead or close to death. If you have been using that headset, it may be like this. Worse, it may have been hung up."

Mr. Ke instinctively doesn't believe it, it's just a pair of headphones, is it that exaggerated?

But seeing Lao Dong's ghostly appearance, he dared not believe it.

I kept recalling in my heart, where did I leave that damn pair of headphones?It has to be found and destroyed.

People at his level can naturally get some news, and he has naturally heard a lot of inside stories about the arrival of the weird era.

This Luo Chu in front of me is the director of the Operations Bureau. If he came to him so seriously, it must be related to a strange incident.

Mr. Ke was a little afraid to recognize the old Dong in front of him.

Old Dong, who used to be physically fit and well-proportioned, had only seen him for half a month, and he was so haggard and thin.

Not to mention that Mr. Ke hadn't seen him for half a month, when Luo Chu and Jiang Yue saw Mr. Dong in the surveillance video, they almost couldn't recognize the same person as the current person.

Surveillance was only a matter of last weekend, and it has only been a few days?
In just a few days, no matter how serious the illness is, it is impossible to become so thin all of a sudden.

Hit evil!

This is the only explanation.

Jiang Yue walked in through the open security door. This is a single apartment, only sixty to seventy square meters, with a layout of one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom.

However, Mr. Dong is obviously a person who understands life, and the design is very stylish, even higher than the luxury rooms of five-star hotels.

Jiang Yue walked around the house and searched carefully, but found nothing unusual.

What puzzled Jiang Yue was that there seemed to be no sign of people living in the apartment.If Dong Zong lived here these days, it stands to reason that the decoration inside could not be so neat.

This kind of neatness is like the neatness you saw when you just checked into the hotel and opened the door.

The sofa, bed, tableware and tea sets, etc., have obviously not been touched.

When they went upstairs, Jiang Yue deliberately listened to the movement at the door. He was very sure that there was no one in the apartment.

But they just went downstairs, why did President Dong appear in the house again?
There are three elevators in this apartment building, and there are more than a dozen suites on one floor.

Perhaps, when they went downstairs, Dong Zong happened to take the elevator upstairs, and there may not be such a coincidence.

But looking at Dong Zong like this, it doesn't look like he can take the elevator normally.

And when going downstairs, Jiang Yue also glanced at the elevator.The other two elevators at that time, one stopped on the ground floor, and the other stopped on another floor lower than this building, all of which were in a static state and did not operate.

Therefore, the possibility that Dong Zong took the other two elevators to go upstairs at the same time as they went downstairs can almost be ruled out from the time point.

If Dong Zong took the elevator upstairs at that time, then the elevator should have stopped at the floor where Dong Zong was located, or continued to run to other floors.

There is no reason why one is on the ground floor and the other is on a floor lower than Dong Zong's.

There is also a possibility that Dong Zong arrived at this floor and pressed the elevator again on the same floor.

But this is almost never the case, because during the time when Jiang Yue and the others were in the elevator, it was impossible for other elevators to run so fast, go at night, and reach the ground floor earlier.

As for the elevator that stopped on a lower floor, that was even less likely.

Generally this type of residential apartment.No matter which floor you go downstairs, you will go to the first floor or the underground parking lot on the first floor, and you rarely go from one floor to another.

And in terms of time, it was simply too late.

After such an analysis, Jiang Yue can almost conclude that this old Dong was in this building before, but not in the apartment.

Then why did he return to his apartment after they went downstairs and still appear at the window?And why are you banging on the door like crazy?

Is it because of the curse brought by this pair of headphones?

What kind of magical power does this headset have, that it can torture a normal person like this?
Jiang Yue couldn't sort out any decent clues in his mind at the moment.

Previously, he had found the mastermind behind the lottery draw, that is, Mr. Dong, through layer upon layer of cocoon extraction and tracing. He thought that finding Dong Zong was equivalent to finding the answer.

For now, it seems too optimistic.

This Dong Zong went from being the mastermind behind the scenes they guessed, to becoming a victim in an instant.

This is not the most terrible.

The most frightening thing was that when he arrived at Dong Zong's place, the clues would be cut off in an instant.

Dong Zong's interpersonal relationship is not a simple girl like Wang Chenyan, so he can check it out as soon as he checks it.

These days, who Dong Zong has come into contact with and where they have appeared, the workload is too large and difficult to find out, and it is almost an impossible task.

Moreover, no one knows, where did he go wrong?

Jiang Yue checked very carefully, including even a small ornament in the apartment, but he still couldn't find any clues.

Even the shoe cabinet that entered the door, Jiang Yue opened it and looked carefully.

Just as he was about to step out the door, Jiang Yue suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head and glanced at the shoe cabinet.

There are several exquisite containers on the shoe cabinet, inside which are some daily sundries, some coins, various membership cards, business cards, various payment receipts and so on.

There is also a bunch of keys.

There are seven or eight keys in this bunch, and they all look similar at first glance.

Jiang Yue also noticed the hanging key at first, but he didn't take it seriously.There are at least six keys for anti-theft doors, and it is reasonable to string them together.

But when Jiang Yue looked back for the second time, he still found something different.

These keys, although similar in shape, are almost indistinguishable from each other.But after careful comparison, it is obvious that these keys do not open the same door.

That said, the keys aren't all keys to the home.

Jiang Yue became interested, so he picked up the keys and tried them on the anti-theft doors one by one.

When I tried the third one, the lock cylinder squeaked.

This third key is indeed the key to this apartment building.

Jiang Yue continued to try until all the keys had been tried.

Except for the third key, all the other keys do not belong to this apartment.

A playful smile overflowed from the corner of Jiang Yue's mouth.

The shapes of the keys are almost the same. If you don't identify them carefully and try them one by one, you will never notice this at first glance.

So……

What are the remaining keys for?

company's?Other properties elsewhere?
With so many keys and no special marks, how did he identify them?
Seeing this, Luo Chu couldn't help asking, "Xiao Jiang, what's wrong?"

"These keys are interesting."

Jiang Yue looked around, looking at the apartments on both sides of the corridor, and suddenly had an inspiration.

"Luo Chu, this Dong Zong seems to be really rich. This apartment is half a floor when you buy it. It's really a big deal."

As Jiang Yue said, he picked up one of the keys.

Facing the security door of one of the apartments, he got in.

Unbelievably, the lock actually opened.

Jiang Yue then tried one after another, and it was magically opened one by one, and it was accurate, no one had been tried twice.

All are one pass, one open.

Even Mr. Ke was dumbfounded.

"This bastard old Dong, so rich? He hides it very deeply. I always thought he had an apartment here."

Although this apartment is only more than 100 million yuan, there are eight rooms in this row, which is half a floor.

This place alone has a market value of 2000 million, let alone other more valuable mansions.

However, there is money for a bird?
Looking at this old Dong who is out of his mind, so thin that he is out of shape, completely unlike a normal person, and may even die at any time, Mr. Ke's thoughts changed immediately.

Money or not, at this point, what can be decided?
"What's wrong with this old Dong? Why didn't you go to the hospital?" Mr. Ke murmured.

"You really think he's sick?"

"What's that?" Mr. Ke's scalp felt numb. In fact, he had vaguely thought of a possibility. The reason why he asked about his illness was actually a kind of self-comfort.

"You escaped the earphones, but you didn't escape Jin Chan being tampered with. Now Jin Chan's catastrophe can be resolved, but whether you can escape in the next step, and whether you will end up like this old Dong, remains to be seen. Say something else."

Jiang Yue didn't intend to scare Mr. Ke either.

The situation has developed to this point, obviously a little out of control.

Jiang Yue couldn't figure out how many evil spirits were behind the scenes and how many black hands were manipulating them.

Is all of this really caused by Master Liu?
