Chapter 42 Ghost Story Apartment 15
  The restaurant was intact and the refrigerator was fully stocked with ingredients.

Everyone had finished making their own breakfast and started eating.

For a moment there was only the sound of the clinking of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table.

"Did you hear any strange noises last night?" Wang Ran took the initiative to ask while slurping his noodles. Seeing that everyone was silent, he asked.

It's not too early now, almost everyone is here, even the landlord is here.

Thinking of this, the three of them looked at Xie Ning, who was sitting at the end of the table quietly drinking milk.

Facing the scrutinizing eyes, Xie Ning was thinking about whether he should tell them what happened last night.

She had already seen the danger of that weird black ball of flesh, and it was hard to say whether it would make a comeback tonight.

After it devoured the little girl and the doll in blue pajamas yesterday, its strength has increased a lot visibly to the naked eye.

Although he finally found a way to make it vomit out some of the doll's remains, it did not suffer serious damage.

It may even be possible to take out your anger on others.

"Yesterday I met an outsider."

Xie Ning spoke calmly, with a rare serious expression: "Outsiders are afraid of light. At night, everyone should try to stay in a place with light. Don't turn off the lights when sleeping. If you have self-defense weapons, put them where you can."

Xie Ning said that, and it was none of her business how much she heard.

"What does an outsider look like? Is it scarier than the child who told the story yesterday?" Meng Yiyi asked worriedly. She had never heard such a terrifying scream before, and it scared her so much that she didn't dare to sleep all night.

Xie Ning nodded: "So you must be extra careful."

Others looked at each other. None of them were attacked yesterday. Either the other party went straight to the landlord, or the landlord took the initiative to fight and expel the outsiders in order to protect them.

No matter how you look at it, the landlord is on their side.

Xie Ning glanced at everyone's expressions, and everyone seemed to have listened.

But today, Xie Ning had no intention of continuing to wait passively for outsiders to appear.

"So I decided that while it is safer during the day, I hope everyone can strengthen the protection of the apartment together, check the gaps in doors and windows, and not miss any suspicious locations."

Zhao Pingjiang was the first to agree, "I happen to have the same idea. Since outsiders are not residents of the apartment, there must be conditions for their entry and exit."

Nie Fangyu looked at the other people. No one agreed, but they didn't refuse either.

He then suggested: "The apartment has four floors in total, and it will take a lot of time to check. It's better to do it in separate parts."

Someone took the lead, and others became more active in participating. There were six of them in total, and they quickly divided into three teams in pairs.

Nie Fangyu and Wang Ran, Meng Yiyi and Zhao Pingjiang, Xie Ning and Jiang Yuan.

Having witnessed the horrific scene last night, everyone checked extremely carefully.

Xie Ning has the keys to all the rooms and is ready to check every room.

After what happened to the little girl in blue pajamas, she learned that there were some special tenants living in the apartment. She knocked on the door every time she entered a room.

"Is anyone really living there? The furniture and furnishings here are all as new as new." Jiang Yuan stood at the door and watched Xie Ning open an empty room.

They did not rush in. Even in broad daylight, the room was still dark, the windows were closed, and the heavy curtains blocked the sunlight outside.

Xie Ning thought of a possibility.

The outsider last night might have been hiding inside the apartment before they came.

Except for the room where they stayed, all the other rooms were in exactly the same condition. The decoration and layout of the rooms were the same, and there were no traces of any strangers' activity.

Xie Ning was walking on the last step of the fourth floor. Jiang Yuan looked above his head and suddenly asked: "By the way, is there a passage to the rooftop in this apartment?"

"Basically every apartment has a passage to the rooftop." Xie Ning stopped after her reminder.

"exactly."

On the fourth floor, there is a locked gray iron door at the top of the stairs. The rusty iron door looks like it has not been touched for a long time.

The door was covered with dust.

Xie Ning put his hand on the door handle and tried to twist it. It was able to open, but a cold air spread along the handle.

She frowned. There was something behind the door.

Jiang Yuan pushed up his glasses and looked at Xie Ning without noticing: "What's wrong?"

Xie Ning shook his head and simply pushed the door open, exposing the entire rooftop to the two of them in an instant.

There is a layer of water on the damp ground, dark green moss is spread all over, and the surrounding walls are covered with hanging vines. The entire rooftop seems to have been forgotten by the sun, and no light can shine in.

In the dark corner, countless ghosts were crowded together, floating unconsciously. After hearing the sound of the door opening, they all looked over.

Countless pairs of dark green turbid pupils, cold and scary.

The gray iron door was like a seal. The moment the seal was lifted, Xie Ning felt the yin energy for the first time in a long time, except A-ying.

Jiang Yuan's droopy eyes suddenly widened. She took off her glasses and squinted at them, then wiped her glasses in disbelief and put them back on.

After confirming that she had read correctly, she put her hand on Xie Ning's hand and closed the door again with Xie Ning's hand.

"Landlord, aren't they our neighbors?"

Jiang Yuan's voice paused slightly, but his tone of voice did not have any emotional ups and downs. He seemed to be a stable group.

Xie Ning: "Not sure, I'll take a look again."

After the door opened this time, Xie Ning tried to control a ray of yin energy to float in.

In the midst of the ghosts, the Yin Qi blended in smoothly, but Aying's voice passed into Xie Ning's mind with great excitement.

"Wow, are these the food you prepared for me?!"

food?

Eat something good!
  "Can they communicate?" Xie Ning carefully walked into the rooftop and approached the ghost in the corner step by step.

Jiang Yuan turned his neck slightly stiffly and looked at Xie Ning: "Are you asking me?"

Although she came to this strange world and her life depended on her fate, she was not brave enough to communicate with this group of ghosts.

"These ghosts huddled in the corner, confused and unconscious, unable to communicate."

Aying's power seems to have been greatly enhanced here, and she can directly make sounds in her mind without Xie Ning's control.

As Xie Ning listened, he silently began to be wary.

Aying simply didn't know where Xie Ning's control over Yin Qi was, so she felt at ease for the time being.

Not only that, whenever Xie Ning tried to get close to the Yin Hun, the Yin Hun, who had been huddled together, suddenly dispersed and hid far away.

Seems to be afraid of something.

Jiang Yuan stood next to her. When he passed by, he saw a green eye staring at her from the corner of his eye. He suddenly flashed in front of her and pinched her neck with a pale claw.

Jiang Yuan struggled subconsciously, and her glasses were thrown to the ground. Her vision instantly became blurry, and she could only see pieces of black shadow floating in front of her.

My heart went cold for a moment.
