Marvel: I Am Urban Legend

Chapter 23 New Tenant, Strange Shadow

"Drip..."

"Thank you, master..."

Hu Zheng watched the taxi go away, picked up a large suitcase with one hand, and said slowly to the woman beside him: "Let's go, baby, let's get up!"

"My dear, let me carry one for you..."

The woman's voice was as gentle as her appearance, and her exposed skin was as white as newly fallen snow.

"No, just hold the laptop. I'm very strong..." Hu Zheng flexed his muscles as he spoke.

The two walked into their new home in the future with laughter and laughter...

"It's cheaper for you, just 500 per month, one deposit, one payment. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I'll be right across the street."

"Okay, brother, thank you..."

"The ordinary man's name is Hu Zheng, and the beautiful woman's name is Lin Yue..." Zheng Ye muttered silently in his heart.

Seeing the faint guilt in the man's eyes looking at the woman, Zheng Ye seemed to see a shadow of himself in the past. The two of them were crowded in a rented house. His girlfriend was as gentle as water, worked hard and never complained about her bad life...

Out of concern for the two of them, Zheng Ye arranged for them to live across from each other, so that he could take care of them easily if anything happened. After all, this apartment was not peaceful...

The night Zheng Ye came was quiet and he didn't notice anything unusual. It was the second day of the mission, and a young couple who had just graduated showed up.

"The system did not give time for this mission, which means that if you can't solve the [source] by yourself, you will basically have to stay in this world..."

"I don't want to think about it anymore, let's go shopping first and get to know my tenants..."

Zheng Ye originally lived alone on the seventh floor, but Hu Zheng and his girlfriend just moved up today.

The only resident on the sixth floor is a homebody with big black glasses. She rarely leaves the house except to throw out garbage. She basically relies on part-time jobs online for her income. She seems a little afraid of face-to-face communication with people.

There was no one living on the fifth floor, but there were two strange figures on the wall of the corridor. They rubbed it with their hands, as if they had just been painted not long ago. As soon as Zheng Ye walked downstairs, the figures on the wall fluctuated strangely. Then there was no movement.

Zheng Ye opened the door of 401 with the key. From the corner of his eye, he felt a black shadow slipping out through the crack of the door. He looked closely but found nothing.

"Well... shouldn't it be so rampant in broad daylight?" Zheng Ye said uncertainly.

Walking into the house, everyone has the same standard apartment layout, with a refrigerator, TV, and washing machine. Although it is small, it is fully equipped.

Walking to the balcony, I opened the curtains to let in the sunlight, feeling that the cold atmosphere in the room was slowly disappearing.

After turning around, Zheng Ye didn't feel anything unusual. Just as he was about to turn around and walk out, his eyes saw the electronic alarm clock on the bed. The time displayed at the moment was exactly 2:34...

The sunlight in the house had disappeared. I turned around and looked at the window of the balcony. The bright sun just now turned into a quiet black, and the time seemed to have really become 2:34 in the morning...

Before Zheng Ye could make another move, the door that had just been opened was closed tightly with the sound of howling wind. The next second, Zheng Ye found himself lying on the bed, as if he had been lying here to sleep. …

With the sound of the door closing, a black figure appeared at the door, motionless, just standing there quietly...

Zheng Ye wanted to struggle to get up, but found that he could not control his body at all. No matter how hard he tried, his body could not move. Except for blinking, he could not even make a sound when speaking.

The figure at the door seemed to notice Zheng Ye struggling. He slowly turned his head and looked at Zheng Ye quietly...

Zheng Ye blinked, not knowing if it was an illusion, but he felt that the distance between the figure and himself became a little closer.

In order to verify his thoughts, Zheng Ye blinked his eyes twice more. Sure enough, the figure became closer to him.

He carefully looked at the figure about three or four meters away from him. Well, yes, it was really a figure, a separate shadow, standing strangely in front of Zheng Ye at this moment.

Zheng Ye tried hard not to blink and stared at this strange figure.

1 minutes…

2 minutes…

Five minutes passed. Zheng Ye's eyes had shed countless tears. He couldn't bear it anymore. He blinked quickly, and then he found that the figure had appeared at the head of his bed. He was raising his hands at this moment. He was about to grab his own neck, and looked at the shadowed hands that were only about 5 centimeters away from him. They were emitting strange fluctuations at the moment...

Zheng Ye wanted to swallow to relieve the terrifying atmosphere, but found that his throat was not under his control at all...

He didn't know how much time passed, but Zheng Ye felt that his eyes were burning and painful, and he was about to have to blink, but his body still refused to accept his control.

Just when he was about to close his eyes, a force surged out of his body. Zheng Ye quickly shouted, "Sir, what time is it now?"

Then he found that his body was under his control again, and he suddenly jumped up from the bed. Looking at the figure who was looking down at his wrist at this moment, Zheng Ye took out the baseball from the system backpack without thinking... Ah no, it's a wolf The dental stick hit the figure on the shoulder...

A sharp roar came, and the figure escaped into the wall and disappeared...

As soon as the scene turned, Zheng Ye found himself standing at the door, touching the door handle with one hand and holding a mace with the other hand. The alarm clock on the bedside showed 10:00 a.m. sharp, and the sun was still shining. It was scattered in the room, but there was no warmth at all. If it weren't for the mace still in his hand, Zheng Ye might have thought that what just happened was just his imagination...

After walking out of the house and closing the door, Zheng Ye knocked on the doors of 402 and 403 respectively. No one responded in 402. He must have gone to work. 403 waited for a long time before there was any movement. There was a man wearing panda pajamas with dark circles under his eyes. Appeared at the door.

"Oh my god, the landlord... I promise to pay the rent after the live broadcast tonight. Please calm down..."

After saying that, without giving Zheng Ye a chance to reply, he immediately closed the door and there was no movement.

Zheng Ye is really full of question marks.

∑(?△`)? !

Then he lowered his head and glanced at the mace in his hand, feeling vaguely in his heart that this man's reaction seemed a little more reasonable.

No longer thinking about exploring further, Zheng Ye put away the mace, turned around and walked upstairs.

When passing by the fifth floor, Zheng Ye stopped because he found that the humanoid shadows in the corner had become three, and one of the largest humanoid shadows was missing a piece of shoulder.

Zheng Ye summoned a mace and compared it with the wall. Not sure if it was an illusion, but Zheng Ye always felt that the humanoid shadow was trembling...
