The rider’s phone only had 10% battery left. He couldn’t turn on the flashlight and could only use the screen light. He saw that his message interface was flooded with the same repetitive message: If the package is not delivered, I will give a bad review.
The rider was very angry. He worked so hard to deliver the goods, and it was raining in the middle of the night. Not only did he not earn any tips, but he also had to give bad reviews one by one. He also had a bad temper, and swore to go up and teach this guy a lesson.
His blood boiling, he saw another food delivery platform's electric scooter parked nearby downstairs, so he wasn't so scared anymore.
The rider went upstairs carrying a kitchen knife.
This was an unfinished building with few people living in it and no lights. Both sides were filled with houses with haphazard doorways. It was pitch black and windy, and it seemed as if eyes were staring at him at night.
The rider's scalp tingled, the back of his neck felt chilled, and all the anger in his heart turned into fear.
He put the things at the door and quickly turned around and left.
But the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Dogs have the most sensitive ears. He used to deliver takeout often. As soon as he walked out of the elevator, he would hear loud barking of dogs in several dog owners' homes. But from the time he walked to the door, he didn't hear any barking.
He used the dim light from his cell phone screen to look at the ground and saw wet footprints from the elevator, obviously coming in from outside in the rain.
The rider somehow felt that the footprints came from another rider.
But there were only footprints walking out of the elevator, no footprints going back.
Once the other party reached this floor, he never left.
The footprints stopped at the door of the house where the kitchen knife was purchased late at night.
…
The rider became more and more frightened and ran downstairs.
He met an old lady on the sixth floor.
The old lady was very surprised and asked him how he got in. She said that an infectious disease had broken out outside and the apartment had been sealed off for a month.
The rider was shocked, how could it be possible?
Everything was normal on his way here, so how could there be any infectious disease?
"Come back with me and I'll show you..."
As she spoke, the old woman reached out to pull him. With the help of the light from the cell phone, the rider discovered that the old woman's collar and the corners of her mouth were wet and red. He was so scared that he ran all the way downstairs and found that the door had been locked from the outside.
He kept pulling the door, his movements becoming more and more rough due to nervousness, and the door kept making clanging sounds.
At this moment, he heard footsteps behind him.
There was also the old lady's smiling voice.
'Look, young man, you can't get out...'
The last bar of power in the phone was also exhausted at this moment..."
The dog-headed mask said the last sentence.
"It's a really good story. The unspeakable fear always makes people addicted." The ghost-faced man clapped his hands with satisfaction, feeling a little unsatisfied.
As soon as he finished speaking, a new skull bowl appeared in front of the dog-head mask. This bowl was larger than the previous one and looked like the skull of an adult male.
The brains inside fit the size of the bowl perfectly.
With the precedent of the first man in black robe, the dog head was not eaten.
Jiang Ji discovered that the stories told by these people were closely related to New World Apartments, and the protagonists in their stories might very well be themselves.
The people invited tonight all have one thing in common.
They were all witnesses during the building closure.
“I hope you can bring an exciting next story.”
As his words fell, the teller of the third story was chosen.
He was skinny and wore a black goat mask with goat horns twisted in a hideous way. There were two dark brown swirls on his forehead. Blood kept oozing from the edges of the mask, emitting an unpleasant goat smell.
"I have a friend who is very desperate recently. He has spent most of his parents' life savings, and the house he bought with a loan is unfinished.
He couldn't build a house and couldn't return it. His job prospects were not good in recent years, and his stupid boss blamed him for losing his job.
He didn't dare tell his elderly parents that he was kicked out by the landlord because he could not pay the rent for the next quarter and had to move into this unfinished building.
Later, many strange things happened in the vicinity and the resort was delayed in completion. The developer of the resort invited a master to calculate, who said that the signal tower next to it blocked the feng shui and interfered with the energy field.
The developer and several surrounding projects took the lead and instigated residents around the signal tower to protest and create momentum. The base station was successfully demolished, and a giant statue of Guanyin was built here according to the master's suggestion.
With this Buddha statue, the strange things stopped happening and the signal also disappeared.
Until one day, the apartment was locked from the outside.
One resident managed to find a signal and saw in the news that a strange disease had broken out outside and everyone who went out on the street had died.
The few residents in the apartment started to panic. Someone suggested taking out all the cloths, wrapping them together, writing SOS on them and hanging them up.
But the height of the Buddha statue was at the same level as the entire building, which completely blocked the apartment and also blocked their view of calling for help.
Some people don't believe it and think that the only way to survive is to escape. Although the unfinished building is dilapidated, it has no sealed windows and they will not die if they jump from the second floor.
But those who clamored to go out and take a look disappeared the next day... After a long time, some people could not bear it anymore and jumped from the tall building. Their bodies disappeared from the downstairs the next day, and there was no trace of blood on the ground.
Everyone finally faced reality.
At this time, another resident took the initiative to step forward and said that he liked fishing, and that his family ran a slaughterhouse and had sent a lot of meat, so there was still a lot in the refrigerator. He organized everyone to actively save themselves during this period.
A few months later, someone finally found the forgotten apartment and discovered that the resident had miraculously survived. The owner of the resort learned about this and bought the apartment.”
"Well, it's okay." The ghost-faced man responded indifferently.
Hearing this, the third storyteller became a little nervous, but he was not a human being, so he was panicked for a moment before calming down.
The story is not told in the order of seats, but the candles are chosen randomly, and it is very likely that she will be the next one to tell the story.
She has not experienced lockdown, so it is easy to find holes in her story.
However, even if it is A-level, the rule ghost story will not give a fatal ending. The clues are hidden in the words of these people.
The first and third stories mention illness.
The second rider said no.
Maybe it's because of the different perspectives and the different details we know.
But what can be confirmed is that, no matter what the reason, the building was sealed off for several months, and cannibalism must have occurred.
[Petrified Mind] The physical and mental fatigue and the sequelae of mental exhaustion have no effect on her, and her mind works very quickly.
Jiang Ji integrated all the information and rules about New World Apartments in his mind and quickly screened them in his mind.
She locked onto a rule she had figured out in her new home.
