Fear Collection

The door of room 501 is also just a thin layer of iron door, with peeling paint and rust marks in many places on it. It is especially worth noting that there are many depressions in the middle and lower parts of this door, as if someone had kicked it vigorously. over average.

Dangdang.

In fact, Muta didn't use too much force, but the sound of this kind of iron door being knocked was so loud that it made people panic.

Muta didn't knock on the door all the time, after the first three knocks, he withdrew his hand and waited quietly with Xie Jinxi for someone to open the door.

In the next tens of seconds, there was no sound from the door. In the dead silence, Xie Jinxi noticed that the peephole of the door was blocked from the inside.

Just when Xie Jinxi thought that there was no one in the room, the iron door was pulled open a crack, revealing half of his pale face and one dull eye.

Judging from the limited face, hairstyle, and shoulders exposed through this gap, this is a woman.

She opened a crack in the door, and the exposed eye was struggling to focus on the two people at the door. She didn't speak for a long time, but a cold air leaked out from the crack in the door, making Xie Jinxi feel the temperature around her. Subtly dropped some.

The woman in 501 never opened her mouth. Xie Jinxi couldn't bear the pressure, so she could only ask first, "Hi, ma'am, what happened at your house last night? Do you...have a child?"

That lifeless eye stared at Xie Jinxi for a long time before the woman squeezed out a sentence: "No, not at all."

Although she denied it, Xie Jinxi's eyes couldn't help but fell on the bottom of the crack in the door. At the woman's feet, black blood was continuously dripping down between her legs. In just a short period of time, the pool of black blood had already accumulated. A small beach.

"Is there anything else you want?" the woman asked again.

The temperature in the air dropped a little more, Xie Jinxi's eyes returned to the half of the woman's exposed face, and then glanced up again, and Xie Jinxi was so frightened that he almost screamed out.

The limited ceiling exposed behind the narrow door is now covered with various black and small handprints.

Muta, on the other hand, kept focusing on the pool of black blood accumulated under the woman's feet. When he saw the pool of dirty blood tending to flow out of the door, he immediately said, "No more, sorry to bother you."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to hold the door from the outside, and wanted to force the iron door to close, but the moment his hand touched the iron door, it seemed as if he had touched a piece of ultra-low temperature ice, and a familiar chill ran along the place where he touched the iron door. into his flesh and blood.

Mu Ta forcefully closed the iron gate without changing his face. Fortunately, the lady did not hold the door, and the iron gate was closed smoothly.

Only then did Xie Jinxi breathe a sigh of relief, he was still immersed in the great shock, he didn't notice that Muta slightly retreated the hand that had just closed the door, intentionally or unintentionally blocked that hand with his body.

"Let's go back first," Muta said.

Xie Jinxi nodded, and took Muta back to 502.

Back at his home, Muta found the kettle but not the cup, so he simply poured a bowl of water and handed it to Xie Jinxi.

After Xie Jinxi took it, she reflexively said, "Thank you."

Then he drank some water, suppressed his fear, calmed down at a speed that surprised him, and quickly began to analyze the scene he saw.

If it was said that Xie Jinxi noticed all kinds of strangeness in his life some time ago, this time he faced the strange scene directly.

The ceiling of room 501 that Xie Jinxi saw through the crack of the door was densely packed with handprints and various traces, and the size of the handprints was that of a baby.

But what normal baby can leave its own handprint on the ceiling?Even if the lady picked up her baby insanely and forced the baby's hand to the ceiling, the effect would never be achieved.

Then there is only one possibility...a baby can crawl on the ceiling, and the handprints and traces on the ceiling are all left by it crawling.

ghost.

This guess jumped out of Xie Jinxi's heart, and it could never be erased.

Are there really ghosts in this world?

Xie Jinxi asked herself in her heart, but at the same time she was very sure that there was indeed a ghost.

That is not a rational judgment, but an intuition, a feeling. Xie Jinxi is very sure that at least in this apartment building and his neighbor's house there must be ghosts.

"Muta..." Xie Jinxi quickly calmed down, "You said you wanted to do my roommate's business, and I agreed."

He turned his head to look at Muta and said, "You saw it with me too. There is a possibility that there is a ghost next door to me. Do you still want to live with me? If you can't, you can ask your friend..."

"What difference does it make to a ghost where he lives?" Muta interrupted him, firmly saying, "I'll always be here."

It is enough to say only the second half of the sentence, and there is no need to say the first half of the sentence.

Xie Jinxi thought about it in her heart, but unexpectedly got some comfort.

"The question is whether that ghost will come to us." Xie Jinxi was a little worried.

Muta said: "I don't know."

Immediately afterwards, Muta changed the subject and asked, "How long have you been working in the department store? How long have you lived here? Haven't you heard the voice from last night before and tried to explore it?"

Xie Jinxi shook his head slowly, and said with some hesitation: "I don't remember, I... Actually, my memory of the past is very vague. I only remember clearly that day when I suddenly heard someone quarreling in the corridor and what happened afterwards."

"My memory... seems to have a problem. I can't remember when and why I entered the department store to work, and I can't remember when I rented this place and when I moved in."

"Before I met you, I never thought about these carefully. These seem to be blurred and covered by a layer of veil... I just don't think about them."

Xie Jinxi frowned, and said firmly, "My memory just has problems."

Something is wrong with his memory, and something even scarier follows.who is he?Since he can't remember when and why he joined the job and moved in, is he still himself?Is his name really Xie Jinxi?

What else can he believe in?

Seeing this, Muta knew that the time had come, and he said neatly: "The reason why I tricked you into living in last night, and today I applied to the management for the same job as you, trying to live with you, is because I knew you before. "

"Xie Jinxi, although what I say next may seem crazy, what I say is true."

Muta looked at Xie Jinxi seriously, and told about "He", "positive and negative world", "fragmented world" and "taskers", and pointed out some things he heard from other taskers about this Key words of the world.

Xie Jinxi froze when he heard that, the keywords Muta said about the department store matched the information he saw on his mobile phone yesterday evening.

Intellectually, he really felt that what Muta said was crazy, but his intuition and feeling told him that he should believe what Muta said.

Last night he would ignore the danger so easily believed Muta's clumsy lies and took him in because he felt that Muta would not harm him, felt that he should trust Muta, and he had an inexplicable familiarity with Muta and strange feeling.

Xie Jinxi felt that he and Muta should have known each other before and had a close relationship.

Xie Jinxi recounted to Muta the mission information he had seen about this world, and then said: "So... the things I have already been taken away by the department store are my memories?"

This could also explain his memory problems.

In fact, Muta thinks so too, but he hasn't figured out yet what commodities sold in the department store will correspond to the memory of Xie Jinxi being taken away.

Xie Jinxi is still thinking about it for a long time, but he has already accepted what Muta said.

How would you feel if your life suddenly became a horror game, and the only way to temporarily escape danger was to complete the task?

Xie Jinxi let out a long breath, and said hesitantly, "Do I need to meet the taskers you mentioned?"

"No." Muta said, "They now think that I am the tasker. They don't think you are also the tasker. You are in the dark, but they are in the light. Don't contact them rashly, observe them, I am in charge of contact and communication, That way we can gather more information."

Xie Jinxi nodded, but immediately got a headache again. The products in the department store that his memory corresponds to...

There are tens of thousands of products in a department store. If you don't have any clue, what's the difference between finding a needle in a haystack?

Clue, if you regard all this as a horror game, the clue to clear the level is...

"Work?" Xie Jinxi asked suddenly, "Are those taskers also working in the department store? I saw two new clerks in the clothing section today. According to what you said, there are seven taskers besides you. The two are in the clothing area, and everyone is assigned a different job position, which means that the products we represent are likely to be in the area where we work."

If so, the scope of the search will be narrowed down a lot.

And thinking of the weird requirements of my job, the scope of this search is undoubtedly much smaller.

Mysteries are like tangled balls of thread. Just grab one end of the tangled thread and you'll have a clue.

"Let's go to work at night, we should focus on exploring the clothing area." Xie Jinxi said decisively.

Muta nodded. The difference between Xie Jinxi and others is that he can always grasp doubts keenly and take effective actions cautiously.

"There won't be too many abnormalities during the day. Let's sleep for a while now. At noon, I want to go to the pre-term area to get some food and daily necessities. By the way, I will go to the department store and confirm the work area that the other mission workers are assigned to. "

"I'll go too." Xie Jinxi thought about it seriously, he actually didn't know much about that department store, he only had a vague impression, so we just happened to go shopping together.

"it is good."

Xie Jinxi was scared once last night, and got up early to go to work again, already very tired.

He went back to the bedroom and lay down on the bed. He didn't lock the door this time. Thinking of Muta's mental relaxation, he quickly fell asleep.

He slept for over an hour, then Muta woke him up and went with him to the department store.
