Seeing that the elderly person was crying, the property management offered a token apology, and the matter was considered closed.
Then, after some time, the old man passed away due to illness.
As we all know, a person's state after death is basically the same as when they died.
So the old man didn't regain his senses after death. He only remembered that his home was nearby, but couldn't find the specific room number, so he started wandering around the whole building.
During his wanderings, he would occasionally bang on things and play his favorite little games.
The knocking sound, amplified by the yin energy, became the tinkling sound that Yan Xiaoxiao and the others heard at night.
As for why the young man was killed by him, it was simply because the psychological trauma he left on the old man when he went to the old man's house to scold him was too great.
The night the young man died, the old man happened to be happily banging on the fifth-floor stairwell. The young man, wanting to delay dealing with Yan Xiaoxiao's neighbor's complaint, went up the stairs.
Now things have gotten complicated. The old ghost, who was originally cheerful, was reminded of his past memories when he saw the young man, who was banging on things. He thought the young man had come to scold him again.
In a panic, and still holding a grudge, he decided to strike first when he saw the knife at the young man's waist, so that the young man would not be allowed to curse him anymore.
Then, the scene shown in the video occurred.
In fact, if it weren't for that young man being on duty that night, if he hadn't been the one sent out to handle the matter, or if he hadn't tried to delay by taking the stairs but had instead obediently taken the elevator, this tragedy might not have happened.
Unfortunately, everything has ultimately led to the current situation.
It can only be said that some things may be preordained by fate.
As for Yan Xiaoxiao, if she had opened the door and gone out that night, or if she had been the one to make the complaint call, she would have likely encountered the same situation as her neighbor.
Moreover, she lives alone, and the shock she suffered and the psychological trauma she suffered after the incident are unknown in terms of how deep they are and how long it will take for them to completely disappear.
After Lin Xi's reminder, she was already somewhat prepared, and since she was hiding in the house at the time, she felt relatively safe.
Therefore, this incident did not have a significant impact on her.
It's tough on the couple next door. Apparently, after cooperating with the investigation, they don't dare to go home anymore. They say that every time they get to their doorstep, they think of the young man covered in blood who rushed at them.
It's unknown how long it will take for them to overcome the psychological trauma inflicted by that scene.
When Yan Xiaoxiao talked about it afterward, she sighed and felt a lingering fear.
"Luckily, Lin Xi reminded me in advance, otherwise they would probably be in the same state as me right now."
Of course, Yan Xiaoxiao wasn't entirely unaffected either.
Although she was looking at the outside world through a small peephole behind a door, she still saw it nonetheless.
Living in a peaceful era, this was truly the first time Yan Xiaoxiao had ever seen so much human blood; it was impossible for her not to be terrified and frightened.
Fortunately, she had a talisman on her, which she touched every now and then, which made her feel much more at ease.
After the incident involving Yuan Fang and Yan Xiaoxiao, Lin Xi's reputation at the museum gradually spread.
Staff in other departments of the museum had also heard about Lin Xi's abilities.
Some people have even started coming to Lin Xi to resolve their problems.
"Master Lin, no, no, young Lin, what a coincidence! Excuse me, could I ask you for a favor..."
Lin Xi: "..."
Looking at her colleague with a furrowed brow and a heavy heart, and then glancing around at her surroundings, she suddenly felt a little dazed.
This should be a museum, not a feng shui shop, right?
Why do I suddenly feel like I've returned to a feng shui shop?
When this colleague came to see Lin Xi, it was during lunch break. The museum provides its staff with a long lunch break, almost three hours, so if they wish, they can set up a small bed in the office and take a nap after lunch.
If you don't mind the hassle, you can go home to rest and come back in the afternoon.
However, Lin Xi doesn't have the habit of taking a lunch break, so she usually uses this time to find a place to play on her phone.
When this colleague came to visit her, she thoughtfully brought her a small gift—a handmade cake. It looked and tasted excellent, no less than those sold in bakeries.
Lin Xi: "..."
What was she supposed to do?
In the end, she could only adhere to the principle of not slapping a smiling face and tactfully accepted the small cake.
Perhaps it was Lin Xi's act of accepting the small cake that gave the other person the courage, and the colleague took the opportunity to sit down next to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi didn't look at her, but slowly opened the small cake in her hand, saying to her colleague next to her as she did so.
"Tell me about your situation first."
The colleague was taken aback for a moment, then a look of surprise slowly appeared in his eyes.
Does this mean Lin Xi is willing to help?
As if afraid that Lin Xi would regret it, she quickly spoke up.
The colleague who came to Lin Xi for help this time was surnamed Hu and named Hu Meng.
She came to see Lin Xi, but not for her own sake.
Or rather, it wasn't entirely for her own sake, but more for her relatives.
"Master Lin, in recent years, almost every year one of my relatives has passed away. I feel that this is a bit too abnormal..."
The relatives Hu Meng mentioned were relatives on her father's side.
Her father's family has quite a few members; he has six brothers and sisters alone.
Her father was the third child in his family, with an older brother and an older sister, and three younger brothers and sisters.
Her father's six brothers and sisters, some with one child and some with two, make up a large family of more than ten people.
I don't know if it's because her father and his six siblings grew up in the countryside, but they always ran around in the mountains and fields and helped with chores at home from time to time. In short, they were all quite healthy.
The oldest person there, Uncle Hu, was nearly fifty years old, but when he went to the hospital for a physical examination, his results were even better than those of some young people in their twenties or thirties.
As for the other aunts, uncles, and other relatives, none of them have ever suffered from any serious illnesses.
Not to mention Hu Meng's younger cousins of the same generation, who are young and strong and have no problem with it.
But this group of healthy relatives has been experiencing a cycle of death, with one person passing away every year since five years ago.
