I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

If it is said that the autumn rain is sad, then the winter rain can kill people.Tian'er was already terribly cold, and with the addition of humidity, it was even more bone-soaking.

In the dark room, the rice porridge on the stove has been boiled to the bottom, thick and bubbling like a dying struggle.Accompanied by the sound of rain, the radio is singing opera.

"Cry aloud, my man, you have cut the candle with her and forgotten me..." Accompanied by some out-of-key dramas outside the radio, a pair of withered hands carefully took out the black jar hidden under the bed. A incense pill the size of a fingernail was wrapped in some lamp oil and lit.

With the rising smoke, a dark wind suddenly rose in the closed room, blowing the candles on the table erratically.

A pair of cloudy eyes stared obsessively at the old-fashioned vanity mirror placed in front of the table, only to see a woman in a costume suddenly appearing behind the originally empty one!

Her hair fell forward over her face, and there was a cluck in her throat.

"Xiao Ru!" Seeing the female ghost appearing behind him, the man turned his head in surprise.

A bolt of lightning suddenly pierced the night sky and shone on the old face, who was the gatekeeper of the opera troupe.

"Don't...use Xu Lixiang..." The female ghost's voice was dry and harsh.

"Don't be afraid, I still have incense! Do it!" The old man smiled, stood up and looked at the female ghost, so shy that he was at a loss.

He rubbed his hands and said, "Xiao Ru, don't be afraid, I will help you! Everyone who competes with you for the role should be damned! Shuang'er can only be played by you, and it belongs to you alone!"

"Someone wants to take my role..."

"Yes, that person's name is Sun Miao! Don't worry, let's destroy her face now, and she will definitely not be able to take the stage!" The old man's face gradually became crazy, "Yes, and Liu Yunsheng, the most damning thing is She! There are less than seven days left, and she will definitely take the stage to call the curtain! Also, Jiang Ming will also be there! Let them die on the stage together, okay?"

"Liu Yunsheng... Liu Yunsheng..." The female ghost drooped her head, as if she was crying, but there were no tears, "Why... why did you treat me like this..."

"She is jealous of you! She is jealous that you can play Shuang'er, but she can only serve as a foil for you! This woman has such a vicious heart!"

"Kill her...kill Liu Yunsheng..."

"Yes, kill her! Kill Liu Yunsheng! Kill her!" There was a strong killing intent in the old man's eyes.He slowly picked up the handset of the landline and pressed a series of phone numbers.

"Hey, Sun Miao? Someone is looking for it, and it's in the reception room." The old man looked back at the female ghost, and said into the receiver in his usual tone, "I don't know you, and it's not easy to let people in. ...She said she has something urgent to do with you, why don't you come and pick it up now? Don't worry, it's just a little girl! There's an old man here, what are you afraid of...Okay, come quickly!"

After the old man finished speaking, he gently put down the phone and looked at the female ghost with a distorted smile on his face.

……

Let's say that after Sun Miao answered the phone call from the janitor, although he was a little puzzled, he went out with an umbrella and went to the reception room.I thought that it was in the middle of the night, could it be that my best friend had quarreled with her boyfriend and broke up, so she came to look for her?

Thinking of this, Sun Miao couldn't help but quicken his pace.

This night happened to coincide with a large-scale power outage, and it was extremely dark outside.Not far away, Sun Miao could only see candles burning in the reception room, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Uncle Chen?" Sun Miao shouted from outside the reception room.

There was silence in the room, and no one responded.

Sun Miao stomped on the spot and pushed open the door of the reception room.I saw that the porridge on the stove had been completely scorched, and the bottom of the pot was black.

"This is also Uncle Chen, he is not afraid of overheating the pot." Sun Miao frowned, took the dishcloth on the table and approached the stove, trying to remove the porridge on it.

At this moment, only hearing the door behind him "click" and locked, Sun Miao turned around suspiciously, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.

"what!"

Sun Miao screamed and hurried out.

But he only felt a sudden pain in his knees, and he fell to the ground all at once.

"Chen, Uncle Chen! What are you doing!" Sun Miao looked at the black figure in front of her in horror, and through the sudden flash of lightning outside the window, she saw Uncle Chen's face almost touching her own.

In his hand, he also held a shovel.

"Girl, don't blame me, who told you to compete with Xiaoru for the role..."

"No, no..." Sun Miao moved back in fear, shaking her head constantly, "Come on, come—!"

Her calling stopped halfway, and she was instantly submerged in darkness.

Then, Sun Miao's head drooped down suddenly, and there was another "clack" sound from his throat.

She slowly got up from the ground and sat at the table, her joints twisted like they were broken.She looked at herself in the mirror, took the fruit knife on the table, and pressed it to her face.

"Shuang'er is mine..." Sun Miao raised the fruit knife high up and stabbed it at her eyes.

At the same time, the door was kicked open from the outside.

Sun Miao's hands softened, and he immediately lay back on the ground, unconscious.

"Don't run!" Jiang Miao raised his silver whip to whip, but Qi Chi grabbed his wrist.

"It's gone." Qi Chi shook his head, and looked up at the ashes that had just been burned before the case.

"damn it!"

Jiang Miao cursed, and hurriedly bent down to help Sun Miao who was lying on the ground.

The old janitor took the opportunity to turn around and was about to run out, but was blocked by a tall figure.

"Old man, let's go."

As soon as Xichi raised his hand, he threw the old man directly into the corner, almost missing him to death.

Jiang Miao: "..." That's really gentle.

Jiang Miao stepped forward and clasped the old man's arms behind him with one hand, picked him up like a chicken, put him on the bench and sat down.

The old man's face was pale, he looked at Jiang Miao in shock and said, "You, why are you here!"

The corner of Jiang Xiao's lips twitched: "Why, didn't your female ghost mention me to you?"

The old man swallowed his saliva.

"Jiang Miao, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to talk here." Qi Chi reminded me in a low voice.

Jiang Miao nodded, smiled at the old man and said, "Master, let's talk in another place?"

……

Sun Miao slowly opened her eyes and found that she was already lying on the hospital bed with her legs hanging high and in a plaster cast.

"Brother Xiao...me!"

Jiang Xiao held a glass of water and handed it to Sun Miao: "Don't think about it, it's broken, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed in half a month."

Hearing this, Sun Miao gripped the white sheet tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Hey, don't be like this, Miaomiao, I can't stand lesbians crying." Jiang Miao hurriedly tore two tissues and handed them to Sun Miao, sighing, "Don't blame me for calling you, didn't I remind you repeatedly during this period of time? Don't you want to go out alone?"

"I, I thought I would go away anyway." Sun Miao sniffled and looked at Jiang Miao tearfully, "Brother Miao, it's lucky you're here."

Jiang Miao felt a little guilty and said, "Hey, it's still a bit late."

"How did you know something was going to happen to me?"

"Didn't I give you a candy wrapper beforehand?" Jiang Miao got up, patted Sun Miao on the shoulder and said, "Brother still has some things to deal with, so stay here obediently, do you hear me?"

Sun Miao nodded obediently.Jiang Miao looked at her, and finally couldn't help but sighed: "Miao Miao, although I'm not an actor, I think the role should be won by strength, and that's your own. Otherwise, you may be caught in a trap because of this." In other people's use, the gain outweighs the loss."

"Brother Xiao, I..."

Jiang Xiao smiled, and released the little paper man with a flick of his sleeve, and said to Sun Miao, "Leave it as your companion, and it will tell me in time if there is any situation."

Sun Miao's eyes lit up: "Ah, so cute!"

The little paper man shook his head, stood on his head and did push-ups with one hand in front of Sun Miao, showing off to the fullest.

Sun Miao stretched out her hand to let the little paper figurine jump onto her palm, then raised her head and asked Jiang Miao, "What's its name?"

"Xiao You? Xiao Q? Xiao Mei?..." Jiang Miao smacked his lips, "Call it whatever you like, I'm leaving first."

After he finished speaking, he told the little paper figurine a few more words, and then gently closed the door of the ward.

……

The rain stopped.

In the deep alley, a black plastic bag was soaked in water and collapsed in a puddle.Jiang Miao stepped over the puddle with a cigarette in his hand, then lightly jumped onto the roof of a row of bungalows.

"Why did you come here?" Qi Chi's deep voice came from behind.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Jiang Miao smiled sheepishly: "Talk to that girl for a while."

"Do you still have this business in the underworld?" After Xichi finished speaking, he felt that his words seemed a bit harsh, and immediately turned his head away with a sullen face, and said calmly, "I'm afraid that this old man won't be frozen."

"Heh." Jiang Miao sneered, looked at the old man who was tied into a hairy crab next to Qichi, and said, "Frozen! Let him be sober, and don't do such wicked things in the next life."

Jiang Miao walked up to the old man slowly, and looked down at him: "Master, shall we have a chat?"

The old man was so cold that his lips were purple, and he said tremblingly, "Cigarette, give me a cigarette!"

Jiang Xiao smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket and stuffed it into the old man's mouth, and carefully lit it for him, then nodded: "Success, you are meritorious for raising ghosts!"

The old man smoked his cigarette angrily, and didn't intend to say anything to Jiang Xiao.

"There's nothing you want to tell me, right?" Jiang Xiao smacked his lips and said, "Okay, then let me see where to start."

He knelt down and looked at the old man at the same level: "Where did you get that Xu Lixiang from?"

"Don't give it away."

"Who?"

"do not know."

"..." Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows, changed the subject and asked, "Are you on good terms with that female ghost sister?"

"Me!" The old man's eyes widened suddenly, then he turned his head aside fiercely, and said in a muffled voice, "It's none of your business!"

"Hey, you old bone!" Jiang Miao suddenly had the urge to beat the old man up, but he felt that his current behavior was like a little devil interrogating Lao Balu, so he gritted his teeth and forced a smile.

"Come on, if you don't say it, then I will scold you without regard for your favor!" Jiang Miao cleared his throat, "Hey, do you think this female ghost is an ugly person who makes more troubles! I look like that Damn, I want to be jealous of another little girl playing the leading role. That Shuang'er didn't write for her, so why do you insist on not letting others act? What do you call this in your business? Isn't it a drama bully!... Let me see , Teacher Renliu is much better than her, and she deserves to be the protagonist in the end!"

"Put your mother's shit on!" The old man immediately cursed when he heard that, "What the hell do you know! Xiao Ru was killed by that stinky bitch Liu Yunsheng!"

"Go ahead and talk nonsense!" Jiang Xiao continued to irritate, "Mr. Liu can do it? Don't give up on a bright future, and run to kill a small trick? Ghost believe it!"

The old man was about to go mad with Jiang Miao's words, and said hysterically, "Future?! That future was snatched from Xiaoru! She, together with Jiang Ming, that beastly bastard, ruined Xiaoru! "

Jiang Xiao narrowed his eyes: "What did you say?"

"Let me tell you, Xiao Ru has already left with Xiang. He said that as long as there is that thing, the people below will never be able to catch her!"

"Who said that?"

"Buzhou Mountain Taoist!"

Jiang Miao took a deep breath, thinking to himself where the hell did another person appear?Seeing that Qi Chi beside him suddenly had his pupils startled, he grabbed the old man's neck and lifted him up.

"Tell me, Bu Zhoushan..." Qi Chi grimaced, gradually tightening his grip on the old man's hand.

The old man's face turned pale in an instant, and he struggled violently in Xichi's hand.

Seeing this, Jiang Miao hurried to break Qichi's hand: "Brother Xiaohua, calm down! Don't strangle me to death!"

At this moment, Jiang Miao felt that Qi Chi's whole body was releasing a strong hostility, which sent chills down his spine.

"What else did that Taoist tell you?" Xichi said in a hoarse voice, with veins popping out on the back of his hand, as if he was suppressing his emotions, "Say."

"I don't know... know! He just said that he is a Taoist of Buzhou Mountain, he gave me incense, and then... left!" The old man's eyes kept rolling upwards, and his body was obviously stiff.

"Qi Chi." Jiang Miao shook his hand, and the silver whip was instantly held tightly in his hand, "Let go."

Qi Chi looked at Jiang Miao with a dark face, and it took a while before he gradually withdrew his strength.The old man fell to the roof at once, panting uncontrollably.

Buzhou Mountain...

Hearing this place, a picture suddenly appeared in Xichi's mind.Blood poured into the farmland, and corpses were everywhere. Amid a desperate scream, a little boy with dreadlocks was pierced through the heart by a spear.

Revenge, kill, kill, kill.

"Brother Xiaohua, brother Xiaohua?"

A hand was placed on Xichi's shoulder, and Xichi grabbed that hand tightly, with a strong killing intent in his eyes.

"Fuck, Brother Xiao Hua..." Jiang Miao felt that his hands were about to be crushed by Qi Chi, and gritted his teeth, "I'm Jiang Miao!"

Looking at the person in front of him, his rationality was gradually regained, Qi Chi hurriedly let go, Jiang Miao quickly pulled his hand back, flicking his wrist desperately.

"Damn it, why are you so strong!"

"Sorry." Qichi moved his throat up and down, and said again, "Sorry."

Jiang Miao pointed at Qi Chihen and smiled: "You remember this for me, let's settle the score when we go back!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to the old man who was still lying on the ground breathing heavily, and helped him up.

"How about it, take it easy?"

The old man covered his neck in silence, his chest continued to rise and fall violently.

"My buddy has a bad temper, if you don't want to die, just tell the truth!" Jiang Miao took the opportunity to continue, "You just said that Xiao Ru was ruined by Liu Yunsheng and Jiang Ming?"

The old man still didn't say a word.

Jiang Miao sighed, lit another cigarette for him, put it in his mouth, and said in a soft voice, "Old man, you also said that with Xu Lixiang around, no one can do anything about Xiaoru. We have already reached this point." Come on, if Liu Yunsheng is really guilty, wouldn't it be good for multiple people to know what she did?"

At this point, the atmosphere fell into a long silence.

I don't know how long it has passed, the cigarette butts that have been in front of Jiang Miao for a long time have piled up into a hill, and just now I saw the old man raised his head to the sky and let out a long sigh of relief, and finally opened his mouth quietly.

"My name is Chen Aishan, I'm from the same town as Xiaoru..."
