spooky invasion

Chapter 228

Seeing the strange situation transformed by the green smoke, Jiang Yue and Luo Chu's expressions were extremely solemn, let alone Mr. Ke, who was too scared to speak.

Crouching his head and hiding behind Jiang Yue and the others, he has made up his mind to follow these two no matter what.

Go it alone?nonexistent.

He is very self-aware, if he acts alone at this time, his life can be lost in minutes.

Maybe what Jiang Yue said made sense?The reason why the ghost didn't kill him was because he was a pig teammate?Can form an invisible restraint on the two of them?Even provide god assists?

Although Mr. Ke felt resentful and felt that this statement was too humiliating, but thinking about everything that happened today, he seemed to have been dragging his feet!

Jiang Yue and Luo Chu discussed in low voices for a while.

The floor they are on now is the 15th floor, and the next floor is the 14th floor.Therefore, based on the principle of proximity, Chu Luo suggested to go to 1418 to have a look first.

“罗处，16楼的公寓，整个楼层只有16间，并没有18这个房间号。15楼的格局和16楼差不多。这14楼难道会不一样？”

Jiang Yue didn't notice this problem for a while before, but now that he has calmed down a little, he immediately thought of this problem.

Luo Chu also thought of this question, but he still insisted: "Go and have a look, anyway, it's just going down one flight of stairs, so it won't bother you."

It was still the previous object, with Jiang Yue at the front, Mr. Ke in the middle, and Luo Chu at the back.

This time, the three of them reached the next floor very smoothly.There is also a sign hanging above the stairs, indicating that this is indeed the 14th floor.

Jiang Yue was secretly surprised, he never expected that it would go so smoothly.Didn't make any trouble?

The layout of the 14th floor, as Jiang Yue said before, is exactly the same as that of the 15th and 16th floors, maybe the design of the entire apartment is the same.

There are sixteen apartments on each floor.

This is also normal logic.

In a frame structure building, there is no reason for the design of each floor to be different.

The three wandered around in the corridor on the 14th floor, and the house numbers of each room were the same.There is still a dead silence on the floor, as gloomy as walking in a desolate cemetery, shrouded in dead air, I really can't feel the slightest smell of fireworks in the world.

Jiang Yue and Luo Chu looked at each other, feeling more pessimistic in their hearts.

A glimpse of the leopard in the tube can be seen.

For three consecutive floors, there is no living person, no trace of human activities.

Then it can basically be concluded that there may really be no living people in this building.

Thinking that there were only three of them living in the whole building, even Jiang Yue, who had seen the big scene, felt sympathetic.

"Go, go to the 18th floor."

After walking around but not finding anything, Jiang Yue decisively decided to go back upstairs.

Mr. Ke knows that he is a soft-spoken person, and if he keeps beeping, he might really be kicked out of the team, so he can only cooperate no matter how unwilling he is.

Back on the 15th floor, the sound of running barefooted suddenly came from the ears of the three of them.

Jiang Yue's footsteps froze and stopped.

The torch flickered into the darkness, and the deep and dark corridor was empty and occupied by darkness.

But the footsteps are definitely going away from this direction.

The design of this apartment is circular, and the entire corridor extends in all directions, and you can go back to the original point by walking around.

The corner at the end of this direction is actually the old Principal Mei's apartment.

When the three of them approached the old principal Mei's apartment, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

There was obviously a chair here before, and it was from this chair that Old Principal Mei got up.

What about this chair?
At this moment, the end of the corridor has been seen, but the chair seems to have grown legs and walked away by itself.

The corner is also empty, not to mention the chairs, there is no debris at all.

"Want to see it?"

Luo Chu asked Jiang Yue for his opinion.

Jiang Yue shook his head: "No need, let's go to the 18th floor."

So many weird things have happened, and don't care about the whereabouts of a chair.Maybe the chair, or Lao Dong's mobile phone before, are just distractions, and have little direct connection with the truth of the matter.

After all, this may be a trick played by ghosts to confuse people on purpose.

When turning around, Jiang Yue glanced at Old Principal Mei's apartment.

Vaguely, Jiang Yue seemed to see a shadow flashing in the room.

The shadow was behind the curtains in the living room, and it was so fast that Jiang Yue almost thought his eyes were blurred.

But he can be sure that he is definitely not dazzled.

Moreover, this shadow is by no means the former Principal Mei.Because, this shadow is taller.

But when Jiang Yue took a second look, the apartment was calm again, as if nothing had happened and there was no disturbance.

Another distraction?
Jiang Yue knew that if he went in to check, he would definitely find nothing.So, he decided to eliminate all distractions and go directly to the 18th floor.

If Mr. Mei's two numbers contained a deep meaning, then there was only one possibility, and that was room 1814.

The combination of these two numbers, 1814 is the only combination.

If 14 represents a floor, then they had walked around the 14th floor just now and didn't notice anything unusual.

So, perhaps the 18th floor is the only answer?
Thinking of the 18th floor, Jiang Yue inexplicably remembered that the Year Eaters haunted the 18th floor.

Is the number 18 really that evil?
The three went around and went back to the 16th floor.This is the floor they first arrived on, and the floor they stayed for a long time before.

It is the floor where Wen Yuqian's body was hidden, and also the floor where Old Dong haunted and disappeared.

It stands to reason that this floor should be the source of the problem.

And nothing seemed to change when they left.

Jiang Yue and the others deliberately went to Lao Dong's rooms to take a look. Everything was the same as before, and the scene was still the same.Old Dong seemed to have evaporated from here.

This time, Jiang Yue and the others didn't plan to stay on the 16th floor, and continued to go up the stairs to the 17th floor.

When Jiang Yue came to the 17th floor, he felt an inexplicable strange feeling.The feeling on the seventeenth floor actually had a sense of deja vu.

How could this be?
Jiang Yue raised his torch a little higher, and immediately saw the sign at the entrance of the corridor.

Impressively written on it: 15th floor!
They walked up from the 16th floor, and they should go to the 17th floor due to emotion and reason.

But the sign on the corridor showed that it was the 15th floor.

The weirdest thing is that all the details of the corridor are very similar to the 15th floor we passed before, almost exactly the same.

The three of them took a few steps forward, and found that the chair that was missing before was suddenly placed in the corridor, exactly the same position as before, and had not moved at all.

An inexplicable sense of absurdity surged in the hearts of the three at the same time.

Could it be that the 15th floor just now was a fake 15th floor?This time is the real 15th floor?
This is impossible!

Even kindergarten children can't make a mistake about the arithmetic of going up and down floors.The three of them are grown men with outstanding intelligence. It is impossible for them to go upstairs and not remember the number of floors!

Mr. Ke stammered: "This...is this the ghost hitting the wall?"

Luo Chu snorted coldly and said, "The reminder board can be tricky, and this kind of chair is very similar. I don't believe that Old Principal Mei's apartment can be copied completely?"

Jiang Yue also deeply agrees.

In fact, he didn't believe in the reminder sign of the number of floors.

He had seen this kind of trick before. In the incident of hunting for a female ghost in the apartment, the female ghost used to change the house number to lure each child to the room occupied by the female ghost.

Jiang Yue naturally didn't like this kind of trick.

The three of them came to the apartment corresponding to the old principal Mei, and the door was closed.

If this is the 15th floor, what you see when you open the door should be the apartment of Old Principal Mei.

If not, it proves that this is just some kind of power deliberately pretending to be a ghost!

Jiang Yue put his hand on the doorknob and felt it lightly. The door was locked.

Of course, it is obviously unrealistic for this kind of lock to stop Jiang Yue.

But for some reason, Jiang Yue put his hand on the doorknob, but he didn't push it down.

The eyes of the three were all focused on the doorknob, and there was an inexplicable sense of absurdity, tension, and even a slight sense of unease in their hearts.

There was a strange worry in each other's hearts.

What if you push the door open and you see the apartment of old principal Mei?
How to explain this matter?How should I accept this matter?
Ghost hitting the wall?
Jiang Yue took a deep breath.

I felt that the breaths of the two people around me were holding their breath, and my heartbeat seemed to be speeding up.

Jiang Yue poured his strength into his wrist, and with a violent pull, the door lock was immediately broken, and the door creaked and was pulled open.

Looking closely at the torch, the three of them changed color at the same time.

Everything is the same as what they are worried about, whatever they are afraid of!
The scene that catches the eye is the apartment of Old Principal Mei.

Dilapidated sofas, old tea tables, walkmans, thermos cups...

And newspapers burned to ashes.

Various details show that this is the apartment of Old Principal Mei!

In other words, is this really the fifteenth floor?

How is this possible?
They walked up from the 16th floor just now. No matter what logic they use, this should be the 17th floor. How could it become the [-]th floor?

Could it be that the entire apartment building has been turned upside down? Upstairs from the 16th floor turned into the 15th floor?
No matter how absurd the world is, it is impossible for it to be so absurd.

Luo Chu stepped forward, picked up the thermos cup and looked at it, fiddled with the Walkman, and listened to the recording again.

Yes, it's still the previous Walkman, Luo Chu can't make a wrong judgment on such details.

The sofa is still the same sofa set, and the coffee table is still the same coffee table.

The curtains are the same curtains.

But Jiang Yue didn't believe in evil. He secretly took out a small bottle and sprayed it around in the air.This is the samsara psychic liquid. If there are ghosts making ghosts hit the wall right now, once this spray is released, there will definitely be flaws in the illusion.

It's a pity that after the samsara spiritual liquid was sprayed out, apart from a faint smell in the surrounding air, there was nothing unusual about the scene in front of me.

There is no disillusionment like a shattered illusion.

In other words, everything in front of me is actually real?
Jiang Yue stood for a while, then suddenly revealed a strange smile, and greeted Luo Chu, "Let's go."

Jiang Yue walked out of Principal Mei's apartment first.

Luo Chu caught up with a solemn expression, and asked, "Xiao Jiang, what's going on? Can you see what's going on?"

"It's just a trick, it's still the trick of stealing the beam."

"What do you mean? You mean, this is not the 15th floor?"

"Definitely not, it's just that some force deliberately created this to confuse us, making us think that this is the 15th floor, which is to confuse our minds and confuse our positions."

"However, those things are indeed what I saw before, absolutely true." Luo Chu reminded.

"This also shows that there may really be a lot of ghosts on this floor. The method of capturing objects from the air is really not bad, but it can be improvised, and there are always loopholes."

"Impromptu patchwork?"

"Yes, the layout can be imitated, and things can be imitated. But some things are always not taken care of in a hurry."

"You mean?" Luo Chu frowned, he really didn't see any flaws.

"I just sprayed some spray, did you smell the smell?"

"I can smell it." Boss Ke and Luo Chu both nodded.

"Then, burning a few newspapers, in an apartment that is not very ventilated, the smell of burning will not be easy to dissipate, right?"

Luo Chu's complexion suddenly changed: "That's right! I only saw burning ashes, but I didn't smell any obvious burning aura. Even if it dissipated, it wouldn't dissipate so quickly."

Back and forth, they wouldn't be out there for more than 10 minutes.

In such a short period of time, the smell of burning newspapers will never be gone.

So, as Jiang Yue said, all of this was deliberately arranged by ghosts?
"Then what should we do now?" Mr. Ke was more concerned about this.

"Continue to go upstairs!" Jiang Yue sneered, "I just want to see what other tricks they can play. The more they create these fancy illusions, the closer we are to the truth. They come up with these things just to want To create difficulties, to create disturbances."

Continue upstairs.

Just turning the corner of the corridor, Jiang Yue stopped.

There are still about ten steps to reach the 18th floor. The three of them stand on the small platform at the corner, which is a little crowded.

The torch shone on the corridor on the 18th floor, and a chair suddenly appeared!
There is a person sitting on the chair!

It was that old principal Mei again.

But this time, Old Principal Mei was facing them directly, his face was pale, without any expression that a human should have.

Some are just indifferent, gloomy, cold, and even lifeless!

"A good living person, why do you want to die?"

Old Principal Mei said dumbly.

It was this sentence again.

They have heard this sentence before, it was sent out from the end of the corridor on the 15th floor when they just arrived on the 15th floor and were about to continue going downstairs.

It was Old Principal Mei who said this at the time.

At that time, the old principal Mei was also sitting on the chair, but his back was facing them.

Why say the same sentence twice.He said it when he went downstairs, and he said it when he went upstairs.Is going upstairs and downstairs a dead end?

Isn't this a bit of a paradox?

Mr. Ke shivered and said in a low voice: "I think we should go back to the 16th floor. Going downstairs is a dead end, and going upstairs is also a dead end. Maybe staying still is the way to survive."

"To shut up!"

Jiang Yue mercilessly scolded.

He was chewing on the words of the old principal Mei, pondering the connotation of the words.

It was indeed the same sentence, but Jiang Yue heard two completely different meanings.

When hearing this sentence for the first time, the old principal Mei's tone was faint, giving people a feeling of pity pointing out the way out.

This time, there was no emotion at all, and it was cold and mechanical, as if reciting a blunt line.

Therefore, the same sentence, different scenes, must mean two situations!
