[Hahaha, you're kidding! Just now, a little girl showed up at your door. Do you think everyone else is blind?]
Xie Pan'an paused noticeably, then spoke with difficulty, "That was also the first person I've met since I've lived here for so long."
"Oh, I've strayed off topic. I haven't even told you what I want to calculate. Sister Ji Yu, oh, forget it. I'll show you around."
As he spoke, Xie Panan walked towards the balcony holding his iPad and turned the camera to the left.
[It's pitch black, what do you want us to see?]
"The balconies on the left are all sealed off." Ji Yu said.
[Sister Ji Yu, you can see this clearly.]
"The balcony to his right is also sealed tightly, but it's blocked by curtains. Mr. Xie just doesn't know about it."
Why seal off the balcony? How can you live comfortably in a room that's airtight?
"Of course it's done this way to make it comfortable. If the sun shines in during the day, that wouldn't be good."
Xie Panan stood on the balcony, feeling cold all over, his hands and feet were weak and icy.
His lips were dry, so he licked them to moisten them before saying, "Sister Ji Yu, I'm timid, please don't scare me."
[Family, I finally understand what was wrong with that little girl just now.]
[Brother, you suddenly jumped out and said this, scaring everyone.]
[Who am I? Do you remember that girl just now? She seemed to have no shadow!]
"Ahhhh, stop scaring me."
Xie Pan'an held his head, ran to the bed, and covered his head directly, as if he could escape in this way, but the wall facing his head began to make a "bang bang" sound, as if someone was pounding the wall.
"Family, am I hallucinating?"
You might be hallucinating, but how could so many people in the live broadcast room all be hallucinating? It really feels like someone is banging on the wall in front of you.
"Mr. Xie, did you sleep very soundly last night?"
Xie Panan was so frightened that he almost fainted. He held the iPad tightly in his hand as if it were a life-saving straw.
After hearing Ji Yu's words, he nodded vigorously: "I usually sleep very soundly."
"You're so lucky! This is a good habit. I must keep it up. And then, no matter what you hear later, don't go out. And next time someone knocks, don't open the door."
Xie Pan'an watched Ji Yu stand up. He asked anxiously, "So what's going on? Sister Ji Yu, if you don't tell me, I'm scared."
Ji Yu pondered for a while, then picked up his phone to check.
"So that's what it's called now."
After muttering, she looked up again and asked, "Do you know what 'ashram' means?"
"ha?"
"To put it simply, it's a house for the dead. To put it less frighteningly, it's a house for ashes."
Xie Panan was dumbfounded.
“Does it make any difference?”
"No."
Ji Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled, shaking his head at Xie Pan'an's dejected look.
I didn't expect it to be a columbarium. Judging from what the host said, this whole floor might be filled with columbariums. Bro, you've walked straight into a den of the dead.
[What kind of landlord did you find? He's too unethical.]
"I knew that cheap things don't come cheap. The rent in this building is the cheapest around here, so I came here."
With so many dead people living here, it must be cheap. Why are people still buying houses for the dead? Why don't they look at me, a living person, who can't even afford a house and lives paycheck to paycheck?
[I actually know about urns. Some wealthy people even buy villas specifically to store ashes.]
Cemeteries are quite expensive these days. A classmate of mine, whose grandfather passed away, bought a house in his hometown. It's much cheaper than in a big city, and even cheaper than a cemetery. He ended up burying his grandfather in the house.
[It's really eye-opening to see something like this in the anchor's live broadcast room.]
[Lexation. This is the first time I've heard of this. I'm so ignorant. I live in an information cocoon, but I never imagined that people would buy houses and villas specifically to store ashes. A poor person like me really doesn't deserve to know.]
Spend more time in a big city and you'll realize that cemeteries are really expensive. It's better to buy a house in a smaller city.
[As someone from a small town, I have something to say: I still practice burials in my hometown.]
[Goodness, can we still bury him now? ]
"Why not? It's in the mountains. If not buried in the ground, where else can I bury it? But if I die, I want to plant a big tree on my grave."
[It feels meaningful, but unfortunately it doesn't work here in my home.]
"Family, did you think of me when you were chatting? The wall behind me keeps knocking."
Xie Pan'an trembled and dared not move.
[Didn't the host tell you to stay still? Eh? Where's the host? Where did the host go?]
[What the hell is this, teleportation? That's awesome!]
Qian Moduo Moduo: Hahaha, I just got here. I have a teleportation talisman, so if anyone of you is in trouble, I'll be there the first time.
[So, where is Sister Ji Yu? ]
Xie Panan came forward, his eyes widening: "Sister Ji Yu, when did you come to my house?"
As he said that, Xie Panan jumped off the bed, as if he wanted to go find her.
Ji Yu scolded: "Don't move, stay there."
At this moment, she was standing in the house next to Xie Panan, the one that kept smashing the wall.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
As she raised her hand, the little girl who had just knocked on Xie Panan's door appeared again.
[When did this little girl appear? Family members, Sister Ji Yu shone her flashlight over there, but there really was no shadow.]
[And, and she appeared silently, isn't this a ghost? Ahhh, barrage of protection!]
[Here's my flying kiss special effect, come on! ]
"It's so late, aren't you going to bed?"
The little girl shook her head: "I slept too much during the day and don't want to sleep now. Sister, why don't you accompany me to play with dolls."
Ji Yu shook her head: "No, my sister still has things to deal with."
Seeing Ji Yu knocking on the door a few times, the little girl said in panic: "Sister, the auntie inside is very fierce, you should go with me to play with dolls."
"This door can't be opened, that uncle will be angry."
The little girl was so anxious that she wanted to pull Ji Yu away, but the other party raised his foot high and kicked the door open.
This kick...
That's pretty fierce!
[This door... seems to have a security door inside.]
[Hiss, Sister Ji Yu's legs are so powerful, she kicked through both doors with one kick.]
Ji Yu casually brushed off the non-existent dust on his body and stepped in.
The crisp sound of bells and the yellow paper all over the room finally extended to a wall.
The wall adjacent to the house where Xie Panan lived.
