Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 21 Are you knocking on the door?
"Why do you have to let me go upstairs with you?"

Two strong lights suddenly shot out in the dark corridor, and the next second, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared at the stairs.

Holding a powerful flashlight, Xia Yuxi kept a distance from Bai Mo one by one, and said casually, "Because I can see that you are also interested in this matter."

She said this, but she had another thought in her heart: "This guy is still a little suspicious, I have to find a chance to test it out."

"By the way, what's with the yellow mud on your shoulder?" She shone a flashlight on Bai Mo's shoulder.

"Yellow mud?" Bai Mo was taken aback for a moment, only to find that there was a stain on his left shoulder, and he wiped it with paper while frowning, "I don't remember where I got this thing on."

A certain thought flashed away, and he suddenly remembered that when he went upstairs, his left shoulder seemed to hit something...

Could it be... I bumped into the so-called corpse, right?
Quickly put aside this terrifying thought, he thought to himself: "It should be that when I was peeking into your room just now, I accidentally rubbed against the door..."

As if he suddenly remembered something, his voice stopped abruptly, and the air suddenly became quiet.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Haha," after a brief silence, Bai Mo sneered and changed the subject, "By the way, the lights in your apartment are not on. I see that there is electricity in your room."

"I don't know, there must be something wrong." Xia Yuxi curled her lips, and suddenly said solemnly, "By the way... have you noticed that the apartment is really too quiet?"

The two had already come from the fourth floor to the seventh floor at this time, and they saw mud footprints at the door of many rooms, but not every room had footprints, knocking on the door seemed to be arbitrary, without any rules at all.

"Indeed, logically speaking, if they hear a knock on the door, the residents will more or less open the door to take a look."

Bai Mo climbed up from the first floor, so he can naturally feel that something is wrong.

Xia Yuxi felt a little irritated. She had a heart longing for adventure since she was a child, but she was also very rational and knew exactly which material she belonged to.

With her combat power, entering the restricted area is only a matter of death.

Even though she knew this, Xia Yuxi had been paying close attention to the information on the restricted area and monsters. She was always adventurous, otherwise she would not have gone to Lambert Street to join in the fun, and she would not have spent a lot of money to buy special pistols and bullets.

Now there is a supernatural event suspected to be involved in weirdness in the apartment, and the danger does not seem to be great, she actually wanted to have fun when she ran out.

but……

She looked at the guy named Bai Mo beside her, and thought that although this guy was an ordinary person, he was obviously quite courageous enough to dare to touch such a thing.

and……

This guy pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool. It was natural. He could analyze any abnormality in a decent manner according to common sense, but he never thought from an extraordinary perspective.

He is simply a model pacesetter who wholeheartedly abides by the new regulations of the Bureau of Prohibition.

The two went all the way to the ninth floor, and saw a lot of footprints on the way, but they never saw anyone going out to investigate, let alone heard any knocking on the door.

No exception.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Xia Yuxi was a little disappointed. It seemed that her apartment exploration journey was coming to an end...

Fortunately, her small satchel contained a lot of things.

Just when the two were about to go downstairs, the lights in the corridor suddenly turned on.

The warm light spread up and down, and the whole corridor was like daytime, dispelling all the fears of the two of them.

Bai Mo said thoughtfully: "It should be that there is something wrong with the lights in the corridor, and it has been repaired now."

Xia Yuxi was not convinced, so she wanted to ask him why some kind of force could not have covered the apartment, making it impossible to turn on the lights in the corridor.

But when she thought of the rules of the Banning Bureau, she had no choice but to agree unwillingly.

The two were about to go downstairs when the door of the room on the right suddenly opened a gap.

A middle-aged man stuck out half his head and looked at Bai Mo vigilantly: "Did you knock on the door just now?"

"It's not us." Bai Mo stopped and explained, "We went upstairs to take a look just because we were curious about who was knocking on the door."

"What do you want?" The man seemed unable to hear him.

Bai Mo was taken aback: "Uncle, I told you, we didn't knock on the door."

The man stared at the two of them with wide eyes, suspicious on his face.

"Then get out! Get out as far as possible!"

"Neuropathy."

Xia Yuxi was so annoyed that she didn't bother to argue with this inexplicable guy, so she hurried downstairs.

"What are you doing?" Bai Mo ignored the middle-aged man and hurriedly followed.

"go home!"

"The elevator seems to be available. Your house is on the fourth floor. Why don't you take the elevator?"

After a moment of silence, Xia Yuxi's voice came from downstairs: "I am willing!"

……

The voices of the two gradually faded away. The middle-aged man hid half of his head behind the door, stood there for a while, and then entered the room and closed the door.

Not long after, a woman came downstairs.

"Did you knock on the door just now?"

The sudden questioning sound startled the woman, she turned her head and saw a middle-aged man opened the door, poked half of his head out from behind the door, and looked at himself.

"not me."

The woman was startled slightly, shook her head with a smile, and was about to go downstairs when the man continued to ask, "What do you want?"

The woman paused, smiled softly, and explained: "You misunderstood, I didn't think about what to do, and I never knocked on your door."

"Then get out!" The man opened his eyes angrily and yelled.

The smile on the woman's face disappeared. This person was clearly finding fault on purpose, and was about to argue with the other party, but suddenly covered his mouth, his face paled in shock.

I saw the head of the man hiding behind the door suddenly trembled, and fell directly from mid-air, rolled twice on the ground, and rolled to the woman's feet.

He seemed unaware of his abnormality, his eyes were fixed on the woman like a dead fish, and his lips opened and closed.

"The farther away the better!"

……

When Bai Mo left the apartment, the rain had dropped a lot, so he looked back.

Although this woman named Xia Yuxi has a bad temper, she is not bad.

Not only did he take a flashlight for him when he went out, but he also gave him an umbrella after learning that it was raining outside.

In the words of the woman, she has plenty of these things, and they cost only a few dollars anyway.

It seems that she is a rich woman, not some vicious criminal... For a moment, Bai Mo was not sure if the sound in the room was the sound of a bullet being loaded.

But in the absence of evidence, he certainly couldn't call the police casually.

After looking at the sky, he held an umbrella and walked into the rain.

Not long after, Chen Shi walked out of the apartment expressionlessly, watched Bai Mo leave, and made a call.

"The target has left the Sunshine Apartment, and no abnormalities were found during the process."

"In addition, there was indeed a middle-aged male corpse covered in yellow mud in the Sunshine Apartment. The characteristics are as follows, with a cropped head, a square face, and wearing a blue shirt... It is suspected that it has knocked on the doors of many residents, and there are footprints on the door. ,unclear meaning."

"Has the body been disposed of?"

"It ran away, sorry."

Chen Shi's expression was cold, but his tone was full of self-blame, "Its ability to act is beyond my comprehension. By the way, the corpse once passed the target, but the target didn't notice it."

Lu Zhan sped up his speech and asked, "You mean, after seeing the target, the corpse is still moving, right?"

"Yes."

"I see, this matter is not simple, no wonder you, I will come here in person later."

After a pause, Lu Zhan continued, "Now there is another matter that you need to deal with. The bureau received a report that a dead body appeared in Room 905 of Sunshine Apartment..."

"Except for the lack of yellow mud on its body, its characteristics... are very similar to the corpse you described."
