Don't follow the rules

Chapter 3 Double Happiness Apartment ([-])

Early morning, 3 o'clock

“Da da da da da”

"Da da da da da da da da"

"You're fucking endless..." Ning Yao's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he lay straight on the bed, clutching the corner of the quilt with both hands, gnashing his teeth with hatred.Because the "Apartment Safety Instructions" had just updated the rule of not making noise after nightfall, Ning Yao couldn't just yell back, so he could only think of enduring the calm for a while.But seeing that it was already 3 o'clock, the turbulent sleepiness pulled the eyelids, and the brat upstairs seemed to be planning to have fun with the marbles.

Ning Yao jumped up from the bed like a carp and smiled sinisterly: "What a naughty kid, your father is here."

The 18th floor was quieter than expected. The moment the elevator door opened, the sound of the car running was completely dispersed, and even the sound of marbles that had been disturbing the people just now disappeared completely. The entire corridor was so quiet that only Ning Yao's breathing and thumping movements ringing heartbeat.

Ning Yaoli hesitated for a moment in front of the door of 1804. Logically speaking, there was no sound of marbles anymore. If he came up in the middle of the night to ask questions, would he be sprayed by Xiong's parents?
Fortunately, this silence did not last long, and soon the movement of the trailer came from the corridor in the distance.

With the help of the dim building lights, Ning Yao could easily recognize the figure that should be a cleaner, judging from the coiled hair, it seemed to be a short and strong old woman.She was dragging the cleaning equipment in the car, stopping and cleaning the ground with a mop from time to time.

So fishy.

Ning Yao subconsciously covered her mouth and nose.

As the cleaning staff approached slowly, the fishy smell became stronger.

Ning Yao didn't say a word, his whole body tensed up, but he didn't choose to leave, he just stared at the cleaner's movement.

"Young man!" The cleaning lady who approached spoke first, smiling kindly, "Why are you still outside at such a late hour?"

"This family" Ning Yao pointed to 1804 "is very noisy."

"It's noisy?" The aunt was confused.

"Yes, it is estimated that there are children in this family who have been playing marbles all the time. I was so noisy downstairs that I couldn't sleep, so I came up to take a look."

"But no one lives on the 18th floor." The aunt frowned. "I heard that everyone thinks it is unlucky to live on the 18th floor. They say it is the 18th floor of hell or something. I don't understand it, but there are almost no residents on this floor. Yes, why are there children making noise?"

"...But I am indeed troubled by the noise upstairs and I can't sleep now." Ning Yao was helpless.

"Oh boy, you are the one." The aunt shrank her neck, half covered her mouth and whispered, "Could it be that you encountered something unclean..."

Ning Yao's eyes narrowed.

"Dirty things," the aunt murmured, turning around, and took out a mop from the bucket of the trolley, "Dirty things, you have to..."

"Clean up!"

Ning Yao suddenly took a big step back to make room for a few positions in order to avoid the mop sewage that was suddenly pulled out from the bucket, but fortunately he dodged in time before splashing on his body.

Taking a closer look, there was actually a human head under the mop pole. The long hair was soaked with blood and various filth. It was spread out on the ground and spread out in a large red area. The face of the head was gray and swollen, and the neck was roughly cut. Tie the shoelace holes at the bottom of the mop pole.The moment it was pulled out of the bucket, it opened its mouth like a person who has held its breath in the water for a long time, staring at its rotten and muddy eyeballs, panting greedily.

Presumably this is the source of the fishy smell just now.

The small trolley behind the aunt was overturned by the movement of the head mop, and the trash can was overturned. The melon rind and vegetable takeaway boxes and toilet paper were scattered all over the floor, and a pair of red high-heeled shoes with broken heels could be vaguely glimpsed.

And the old lady Zhuang, who was chatting with Ning Yao in a friendly manner just now, suddenly shrank, and she became old in an instant.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The human head mop let out a sharp roar of unknown meaning.

At this time, the aunt is no longer vigorous, her eyes are dull, her movements are slow, and she is driven stiffly under the scolding of the head mop. However, every time she moves, there will be a crackling sound from her decayed body, as if she is fiddling with a knife. An old machine out of oil.The knees are swollen and protruding under the thin trouser legs, the bony wrists are even covered with age spots, the cervical spine is skewed, and the dislocated jaw makes the mouth unable to close. Sour stench.

"It doesn't look too good." Ning Yao took advantage of the few steps just now and quickly put a little distance away, "You chatted well, so you can turn your back if you say so."

The wrinkled aunt staggered and swept across the world with a move, dancing the mop with a human head, making a loud sound that broke through the air. The smelly blood followed the hair of the mop and drew an arc on the white wall of the corridor. Then the aunt stopped moving and clamped the mop He returned to his armpit, holding a weapon (mop) in one hand, and stood in the corridor amidst the bloody storm caused by the move. Lu Bu himself had to praise this old lady for her superb martial arts skills.

Ning Yao tried to take advantage of the stiffness of the aunt's skills, and hurriedly retreated to the 17th floor, but the aunt and the cleaning car blocked the corridor leading to the elevator tightly, and she was quite brave, and retreating to the rear could only temporarily increase the distance and could not escape pursuit.

But Ning Yao didn't act in a hurry, he kept his distance and looked around as if he was looking for something, "Haha, this is it~"

·【The apartment is my home, hygiene depends on everyone】

A familiar statement suddenly appeared on the wall of the corridor. It was on A4 paper and in bold letters. It seemed like it was just a temporary printout done in a hurry, but it seemed mysterious and indestructible amidst the invasion of blood and water from the mop.

But that's enough.

Ning Yao immediately stopped his cowardly behavior of running around, stopped, turned around, put his hands on his hips, raised his nostrils and pointed at the approaching auntie: "I caught you! Howling in the middle of the night, disturbing the people, and littering the floor!"

The head mop was still cursing, but the aunt was obviously taken aback.

Ning Yao pointed: "Look at this place! Look at this wall! Look at this car of rubbish! How did your grandma become the health committee member!"

The darkness not far away suddenly became restless.

The aunt obviously understood the meaning of this scolding far better than the irritable mop. She immediately gave up her unparalleled aura, stopped dancing with the mop, and put on a defensive posture.

She was not guarding against the scumbag in front of her, the darkness approaching quietly was the real threat.

Although the corridor was not bright late at night, it was illuminated by a ceiling light. Logically speaking, at least the area around the feet could be seen clearly. But now, Ning Yao could hardly see the slippers under her trouser legs, and everything she could see was dim.

Like a stressed animal, the aunt decisively threw away the mop that was in the way, and suddenly twisted her limbs but nimbly climbed up the white wall next to her, until she climbed near the light bulb on the ceiling, and turned her head 180° to look at her on the ground. Abandoned head mops.The head who was still cursing just now has gradually disappeared in the darkness, and after only one breath, there is no more sound.

This darkness is not like a life with consciousness, it seems to be just a river of nothingness. Ning Yao steps into it and can see the waves surging but has no sense of it.

"Bypass me," Ning Yao thought to herself.

And the aunt on the ceiling is surrounded by the darkness that seems to be real, doing a futile fight between trapped beasts.

"Breaking the rules, she's going to be drowned."

"Meow-san?"

"It's so late, why do you have to leave the room? It's quite unwise."

"I, I couldn't sleep because of the noise on the 18th floor..."

“Double Happiness Apartment does not have an 18th floor”

"what?"

Meowsang slowly poked out a little white paw from the darkness, followed by a little furry head: "You know, the floor number on the 13th to 14th skyline was moved up by one, but after the 17th floor, it gave up. The 18th floor, directly mark the 19th floor, let the normal floor numbers return." Finally, the whole cat escaped from the darkness and sat in front of Ning Yao. "So there is no 18th floor, even if there is, the floor you live on is the 18th floor."

"It?" Ning Yao grabbed the information point.

"You've seen it."

Ning Yao looked up, and the cleaning lady on the ceiling had disappeared into the darkness.

"You don't look very smart."

"Then who else could it be?" Ning Yao stretched out his hand and waved it in the void, as if stirring something.

Maomao sighed.

"Ahaha~" Ning Yao scratched his head, "Meow Sang also comes out to exercise at night?"

"Tsk..." Meow Sang gave Ning Yao a blank look, "Thanks to you, my cleaner brother has been removed."

"Brother, I was wrong..."

Miao Sang was silent and slowly licked her paws, but she didn't say much about why the cleaning lady attacked Ning Yao who was covered by Miao Sang.

"Okay, okay, get out of here." Ning Yao nodded, bent his waist and put oil on his feet, and was about to run away quickly, when he lifted his feet, he realized that the darkness around him had long since receded, and the visibility had returned to normal, and the room number of 1804, Also changed to 1904.

The elevator door in the distance opens automatically.
