So weird?

Liao Zhiyuan smiled and continued, "That's still okay. The weirder thing is yet to come. Shortly after that girl jumped off the building, every night at nine o'clock, people living in this building would occasionally hear strange footsteps in the corridor and strange knocks on the door. When they opened the door, there was nothing. When they went back to sleep, after a while, they would hear the faucet being turned on for no reason, and the sound of running water could be heard..."

I was horrified. How could this be so bizarre? How could those people sleep peacefully in the building? If someone with a heart disease had done that, wouldn't they have been frightened to death?

Liao Zhiyuan laughed out loud: "I forgot to mention that these strange things I mentioned only happened on the three floors known as the 'forbidden floors', 30th to 32nd. No such horrific things happened on the other floors. Otherwise, who would dare to come to this building?"

Taboo floors? 30-32?

Oh, and Cheng Qian seemed to have mentioned that no matter whether it was day or night, one should not go past floors 30-32. Could something have happened between those three floors? Or rather, what was going on?

"I have been to the 30th to 32nd floors twice, once during the day and once at night. There was nothing strange when I went there during the day, but the atmosphere inside was very strange and eerie; but when I went there at night, I could hear a girl panting in a room, and she sounded very weak and powerless. I didn't dare to go in and just left." Liao Zhiyuan smiled and passed it by.

The more I listen, the weirder it gets!

I thought about it, and it seemed to be related to the major accident that occurred during the construction of this building a year ago. It might also be directly linked to the recent mysterious death of a student at Jiangzhou No. 1 High School. The person most directly implicated was the girl Liao Zhiyuan mentioned who jumped from the building—Zhang Shaoqi.

At the same time, I also suspect that when Liao Zhiyuan said that he went to the 30th to 32nd floors at night, he heard a girl's panting in a room. Maybe it was Zhang Shaoqi!

In other words, if you want to get to the bottom of this matter thoroughly, the best way is to go to the 30th to 32nd floors at 9 o'clock in the evening!

I asked Su Xiaoniu if my plan was right. Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoniu said coldly, "Don't ask me. I know nothing. You can do whatever you want. Just remember what I told you before: 'Anyone you meet in this building may not be human.' Also, don't go too far, or you'll kill me and I won't forgive you!"

I pursed my lips. But was Su Xiaoniu's words hinting at something else? Or perhaps reminding me of something? Especially the line, "Anyone you meet in this building might not be human," which was profoundly meaningful.

I didn't realize what was going on, so I took Liao Zhiyuan downstairs. I told him to attend class properly, saying Xuanxuan didn't like bad students who smoked, fought, and didn't study hard. Liao Zhiyuan listened and immediately ran to the classroom to attend class.

I shook my head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Seeing that it was almost 12 o'clock, I went back downstairs. When I went downstairs, I still avoided the elevator between 30 and 32 floors. I wanted to save this thrilling and unknown thing for the night!

When I got downstairs, I saw Zhang Longming waiting at the door. I went up to greet him. Zhang Longming asked if I had found anything. I briefly told him about my conversation with Liao Zhiyuan, but did not mention Zhang Shaoqi.

Zhang Longming said in surprise, "It seems this is true... I just asked the guests on the floors below, and they all told me about the strange footsteps, knocking on the door, and even strange things like the faucet. They also said that strange things appeared at the head of the bed in the middle of the night, there were sporadic voices in the hallway, and the shower floor was like a mirror, etc., all of which happened on floors 30-32."

I nodded and went to a nearby restaurant with Zhang Longming for dinner. Since it was his treat, we discussed it and decided to explore the building at night!

Just thinking about it makes me excited, and a little terrified. But now that I've taken on this matter, there's no reason to back down. I've encountered a lot of things, big and small, in recent days, and I've solved them one by one. I don't think this time will be too dangerous. Even if I do encounter something, with my current skills, I think I can handle it.

Zhang Longming said he would go prepare some things and meet at the building entrance at 8 o'clock in the evening.

I took advantage of this afternoon to go to the supermarket, the bird and flower market, the grocery store, and other places to buy some spare yellow paper, date pits, incense, candles, glutinous rice wine, and other things. I also drew a few amulets for self-defense. My last 500 yuan is almost gone. I have to solve this problem quickly so that I can get 20,000 or 30,000 yuan!

In a blink of an eye, it was 7:30 in the evening. I arrived at the door of the building early. Zhang Longming had not arrived yet, but there were people coming and going on the street, and it was very lively.

The weather in autumn is especially chilly at night. I pulled my clothes closer, crouched at the building's entrance, and scanned the surrounding floors. When this building was built, other buildings had already taken up prime locations nearby, leaving it blocked from view in front and behind. Throughout the day, there's virtually no sunlight. Only in the early morning, when the sun first rises, might a glimpse into the corners. But that doesn't last long; as the sun gradually rises, the sky quickly descends into gloom again.

Because of this, the building is always in a gloomy environment. Even during the day, let alone at night.

I looked around and saw that only floors 1 to 25 of the entire building had lights on. The lights became less and less on floors 26 to 29, and it was completely dark on floors 30 to 32. Then the lights started to light up again on floor 33, and gradually became less on floors around 50.
