"We just made some noise when we lived together before, but he didn't let us go even though he died! Now, when we live in a residential building, there's always some noise upstairs and downstairs. Children at home like to run around and jump, so who can control them?"
The woman who was speaking was the hostess of the household. They had two children, both three or four years old, who were the most capable runners. She felt wronged when she spoke of this.
"He has come to our house several times before and even complained to the property management about our house, but I didn't make a fuss about it. I told him that if he couldn't stand the noise, he could move to a villa, where he would definitely not be noisy."
The hostess spoke this in a low voice, as if she was afraid of being heard. In fact, when she spoke these words to the other party before, her attitude was much more righteous than it was now.
Although she still doesn't think there is anything wrong with her child, she couldn't help but feel guilty because the child was dead.
While the hostess was speaking, Jiang Xuxu only glanced at the living room. There were a lot of toys piled in the corner of the living room, including checkers, mahjong, small cars, and... small basketballs scattered on the floor.
She glanced at the somewhat clean basketball and suddenly asked,
“Do your children play basketball at home?”
The hostess was a little puzzled when she heard this. "Where else can we go to play if not at home? There are so many older kids on the basketball court. It's hard for a little kid to squeeze in and it's easy for him to get bumped into."
Tu Xingzhu couldn't help but say, "There are always other open spaces in the community where we can play."
The hostess said confidently, "Those places are so dirty with so many people coming and going. If you play there for a long time, you will get bacteria on your hands and bring them home. It's better to play at home, where it's clean."
Tu Xingzhu:...
He seemed to know why the ghost hated this family.
Playing basketball at home, plus running and jumping, makes a lot of noise.
Perhaps it was because Tu Xingzhu's expression was too obvious, the hostess felt a little unconvinced.
"My child doesn't play ball at home every day. He is a child and he only plays ball for two hours at most. I have told the people downstairs that the noises in the middle of the night did not come from my house!
It's the one upstairs. The little girl likes to dance at home. She jumps up and down late at night and even skips rope at 10:30 in the middle of the night."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuxu took another look at the task content. She was actually wondering why the two households upstairs were not written next to each other, but two households above and below.
They are now in 1903, the one who died is the resident from 1803, and the other one who was harassed is from 2003.
"Can the noise from the interlayer be heard?"
Tu Xingzhu couldn't help shaking his head when he heard Jiang Xuxu's question, and immediately explained,
"The floor panels of these buildings are so thin now that not only can you hear the noises upstairs, but you can also hear the noises of the next floor or even the next door clearly."
As he spoke, he did not forget to sigh, "It's obvious from your observation that you have never lived in a building, and have never experienced a nervous breakdown due to the noise upstairs."
The hostess heard his disdain for the people upstairs and couldn't help but glance at him.
You get a nervous breakdown at the slightest noise. How pretentious.
Jiang Xuxu also glanced at him. Although she lived in a villa whether in the Guan family or the Jiang family, she had also lived in an apartment building in a residential area.
However, she did not have the trouble of suffering from neurasthenia caused by the noise from upstairs.
She has a mute note.
While isolating the noise from upstairs, you also isolate the noise from your own home, ensuring that you don't disturb others while also not being disturbed by others.
But this is not the focus of today.
They decided to go to the house upstairs to take another look.
There was a couple living in the house upstairs. When they went there, the boy was packing his luggage, obviously preparing to move.
Knowing that they were here to deal with the matter, the girl almost cried,
"I feel so wronged. I live on the 20th floor, which is one floor away from the 18th floor. Even if I were doing aerobics, it would not have disturbed him. It was the family downstairs who insisted that it was my house that made the noise, and I was targeted as well. My boyfriend and I haven't slept well this week. It's really killing me..."
The boyfriend was packing his luggage silently, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but speak to her in a deep voice.
"I told you to choose a normal time to do exercises. It's always after eleven o'clock in the evening. If you weren't hated by someone, would we have to move in such a hurry?"
The lease on the house has not expired yet and the deposit cannot be refunded. Not only is it more expensive to find a new house, but they also have to pay an agency fee and a deposit. Their loss this time is quite large.
Girls can't stand being yelled at suddenly.
"You're blaming me now?! Didn't you push that guy when he came to your house? Maybe he's angry because of you!"
"I didn't do that for you!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Bai Zhu shrank back nervously, but Jiang Xuxu and Tu Xingzhu remained calm.
Jiang Xuxu mainly wanted to wait until they finished arguing before talking about business.
Tu Xingzhu was because... he was generally too lazy to get involved in matters that didn't make him any money.
The couple quarreled for a while, but when they saw that the three people sitting on the sofa were watching the show and didn't seem to be trying to stop the quarrel, they suddenly stopped quarreling. The girl wiped her tears, sat aside and stopped talking.
The boy then explained in detail the recent disturbance that had occurred.
He knew Jiang Xuxu and knew her abilities.
When he realized it was haunted a few days ago, he sent a message to the program team for help, but of course, his response fell on deaf ears.
He didn't have any expectations in the first place.
I didn't expect Jiang Xuxu to come to my house on his own initiative.
This is also the reason why he and the family downstairs did not doubt the identities of the three of them at all.
"At first we didn't know it was haunted. It was at night when we were sleeping, there was always the sound of things falling on the floor in the house, which not only woke us up, but also woke up the people downstairs. They came down to look for it and said that their child had been frightened.
At the time, I didn’t take it seriously. Later, I started to hear noises upstairs, the kind of noises of skipping ropes. And… the noises of aerobics. It was very clear in the middle of the night, so we went to look for the people upstairs, but… no one lived there!
After that, I would dream about sleeping in a small room, with the floor shaking above my head, and this noise lasted for almost a week.”
The reason why he was sure that the boy who died suddenly downstairs was the cause of the haunting was because the night before, he and his girlfriend were woken up from their dreams and saw a dark shadow standing at the end of the bed, and the voice made by the dark shadow was that of that man.
He asked them,
"Why don't you guys continue sleeping? Didn't you say you wouldn't make any noise?
What you heard is the sound I hear every day. Don't you think this noise is normal? Don't you think I can't hear it from the other floor? Don't you think I'm deliberately causing trouble?
Now I'm letting you hear the noise you made, why don't you go back to sleep?!"
He still remembers it.
When the black shadow said the last sentence, the voice suddenly became sharp, and the original ghost shadow directly turned into a man's ferocious and angry ghost face, and suddenly pounced towards them...
