I have a weird dynasty

Sang Que ran back to the central patio and saw Xu Yichao covered in blood. His face was pale and he was trembling all over. He opened his mouth but no sound came out.

Sang Que took out half a pack of paper from his pocket and handed it to Xu Yichao, "Go to the side and wipe it clean."

Xu Yichao took the tissue tremblingly and retreated under the eaves. Sang Que looked around and poked the corpse twice with the crowbar in his hand.

Even though he was dead, he didn't seem to be turning into a zombie.

She took the cell phone out of the corpse's hand, knocked on it with a fruit knife with a ghost soldier talisman attached to it, and then picked up the phone by padding it with clothes.

The phone was not locked. When I opened it, I saw the screen showing failed text messages. The phone went to the background and the camera was still running.

Sang Que glanced up, then retreated under the eaves for the sake of caution, and then clicked on the first video in the album in his hand.

The young man in the video was leaning against the wall, panting, his hair soaked with sweat, he looked tired and his lips were chapped. He glanced in a certain direction outside the camera, his pupils trembled slightly, and then he began to speak to the camera.

"My name is Zheng Letian. If anyone finds this phone, please take it and leave Xujiawan Village as soon as possible. It's very dangerous here! Go out and contact my eldest brother. His name is Zheng Xuan. His phone number can be found in my contact list. Please ask him to come here to rescue people before the Zhongyuan Festival. My Zheng family will reward you handsomely afterwards."

The first video ended here, and Sangque clicked on the next video.

It was still Zheng Letian’s face, but his expression was a little softer and there were tears in his eyes.

"Brother, when you see this video, I will probably be dead. You don't have to be sad. Now is not the time to be sad. Hurry up and save Brother Wujun. He has been swallowed by the village resentment. There is still a chance to rescue him before the Zhongyuan Festival. And the mother-in-law who guards the Xu family's temple is also trapped in the courtyard building of Xujiawan Village."

"What? The temple keeper's grandmother is also in the building?"

After hearing the news, Xu Yichao ran out and shouted upstairs.

"Grandma Shufen, where are you? Grandma——"

The echo reverberated in the courtyard building, gradually being distorted and becoming more and more weird and creepy.

Sang Que raised his head and listened for a while, without any response, he lowered his head and continued watching the video.

"...I gave my jade pendant to Granny Xu. She should be able to hold on. Brother, find room 404 and you will find the village grudge. When you come here, you must remember two things."

"First, there is a 'Tenant Notice' at the window of the duty room on the first floor of the watch shop. You must memorize the rules on it. I just glanced at it before and didn't memorize it, which caused Granny Xu and I to be trapped in the building and unable to leave."

"Second, pay attention to the... sizzle... the silk in this building... sizzle... is not normal..."

The picture suddenly began to distort, noise appeared, and Zheng Letian's face flashed between grief and a grin.

"... sizzle... they are all still here... sizzle... staying..."

Xu Yichao didn't know when he came back. He looked at the distorted face on the phone and then at Sang Que's expressionless face. He rubbed the goose bumps on his body and couldn't help asking.

"Don't you have any emotions? All along the way, I found that you are very calm."

"You'll get used to it after seeing it so many times." Sang Que said calmly, "Besides, I'm not acting. There's no need to react with shock, fear, nervousness, grief and sadness to what has happened."

Xu Yichao wanted to say something but stopped himself. He felt that he was getting used to Sang Que's behavior. She must be the kind of disciple of a master who lived in seclusion from the world, specializing in eliminating demons, defending the way of righteousness, and maintaining peace on earth.

Thinking of this, Xu Yichao suddenly felt that the image of Sangque became taller, more sacred, and inviolable in his heart.

Sang Que quickly looked through his phone. There were not many photos in the album, just some landscape and portrait photos taken by Zheng Letian. Nothing special.

There was no valuable information in the memo, so she took out a new piece of red cloth, wrapped the phone, and put it in her chest bag. She would help him contact his elder brother Zheng Xuan after she got out.

"You have seen the situation. If you want to leave, I can find a way to get you out of the building first." Sang Que said to Xu Yichao again.

What was going to happen next would definitely be dangerous, and she needed Xu Yichao to think it over carefully.

Xu Yichao glanced at the corpse in the distance and felt the urge to urinate coming again, and he looked sad.

"How can I dare to leave if you don't leave? I just went to pee alone and almost got beheaded. If you let me go out alone now, I'm afraid I will die before I can walk ten steps."

"It's death either way. It's definitely better to die here than outside. The yin energy here is heavy. If I turn into a ghost, I'll be more ferocious. A more ferocious ghost can help you more. Besides, if you can get rid of the dirty things in this building, I'll have a chance to live if I follow you. So it's better for me to continue to follow you."

Sang Que just wanted to say that Xu Yichao was a genius at logic. "Okay, then no matter what you encounter next, don't run around, and don't scream in surprise. Remember what I told you before, don't be impulsive when you encounter dirty things, step back and observe first, and then decide on the next step."

Sang Que gave an instruction and walked towards a row of houses on the east side. The window of the 'duty room' in the middle was open, and a wooden board was placed on it as a tabletop. It was dark inside and one could not see what was going on inside.

There was indeed a piece of plastic-wrapped paper on the table, covered with dark brown stains.

Sang Que reached out to take it, but suddenly a hand stretched out from the window and tried to take the paper away.

boom!
A fruit knife pierced directly through the hand and the paper underneath. Xu Yichao stared in amazement as he watched the hand turn into ashes and disappear into the darkness.

Xu Yichao was stunned. Wasn't this reaction too quick? It was like a frame skipping in a video!
Didn’t she just say not to be impulsive and to step back and observe first?
Sang Que pulled out the fruit knife expressionlessly. The power of the wandering soul just now was swallowed by the building again. It seems that he must find the "village resentment" in the building, otherwise it will be in vain to kill no matter how many people he kills, and it will be a waste of the power of the ghost soldier talisman.

Sang Que was nervous but not afraid of the "village resentment" she was about to face. If she really couldn't handle it, she would open the door and go to Heishan Village, bringing the "village resentment" to bring warmth to Yan Daozi.

It was because of this retreat that she dared to go deeper.

Restraining the inexplicable excitement, Sang Que picked up the piece of paper by the window and began to read it one by one.

【Tenant Notice】

①. The main door of this building opens at 5 am every day and closes at 11 pm. Please do not knock on the door during closing time. Security guard Lao Tian is on night patrol and is not in the duty room.

If someone in the building is out at night, please ask security guard Lao Tian. If someone on night shift returns early, please go to Bumrungrad Clinic and ask night nurse Xu Jiayi to borrow a key.

②, 6 am, 12 pm, and 6 pm are the peak water usage periods, and low water flow is normal. There are often foreign objects in the water pipes of public toilets, and the water is turbid. It is not recommended to use it for bathing or cooking. If any problems occur, the tenants will bear the responsibility themselves.

The rooftop water tank starts to store water after 11pm. Tenants are prohibited from using water. If they need water, they can reserve it in advance.

③. Pay attention to fire safety. Please stay alone when cooking. In case of fire, please take the whistle on the wall of the public toilet and blow it to notify the security guard Lao Tian to put out the fire.

⑤ Please pay attention to your personal qualities, do not throw objects from high places, do not litter, and if you find any such behavior, please report it to the security guard Lao Tian for handling.

⑥. From 12 noon to 2 pm and after 10 pm, please keep your children under control, do not make loud noises, and do not run outside. Violators will be dealt with by security guard Lao Tian.

There were only five items of information for tenants printed on the front, and there was no fourth item in the middle, which made Sangque feel very strange.

Xu Yichao thought of something and said to Sang Que, "The landlord brothers are very superstitious. There is no number plate with 4 in their building. Going up from the 3rd floor directly leads to the 5th floor, and the room numbers are 1 to 3, 5 to 7. At that time, many people discussed this matter and said that the landlord brothers were weird people who did weird things."

Sang Que was a little annoyed. Zheng Letian in the video just now said that they had to find Room 404 to find the "Village Grudge". He had a brother who was swallowed by the Village Grudge, which meant that they might have entered Room 404 and this room existed.

Sang Que turned the paper over again and found a few handwritten additional notes beneath the stains.

[Recently, some tenants reported that their homes were robbed. Please do not bring unregistered persons into the building. Once discovered, the security guard Lao Tian will clean up the mess.]

[Tenants are requested to lock their doors and pay attention to home security. Do not enter other tenants' unlocked homes at will. Once you enter, you will be responsible for the consequences.]

[The landlord's youngest son is afraid of cats. Please do not keep cats in the building. If you find a stray cat entering the building, please drive it away in time.]

[Tenant No. 705 has developed hysteria due to family changes and is currently undergoing treatment. She occasionally knocks on the door while sleepwalking at night. Please ignore her, do not open the door, and do not wake her up suddenly! Otherwise, she will follow you and even hurt you! ]

[The top floor is temporarily closed, no entry allowed]

Sang Que had just finished reading the last line when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps and the jingling of keys.

She grabbed the flashlight in Xu Yichao's hand and squinted towards the direction where the sound came from.

I saw a dark figure appear on the second floor. I could vaguely see a security guard uniform and he was patrolling around with a bunch of keys in his hand.

Xu Yichao also saw the security guard and immediately looked at Sang Que with wide eyes.

"Go into the duty room and find the tenant registration form."

Xu Yichao had said before that people related to the places where strange incidents occurred in the village all lived here.

You need to enter the building to investigate and be careful of the rules. It is especially important to find out who lives in each room in advance!
