Chapter 3076 3088 [Seeing a Ghost]
"Have they finished their visit and left?"
This guess flashed through his mind, but was quickly ruled out by Calvados: If they really left, there should be some greetings and the sound of a group of people going downstairs - the sound insulation here is very average, and he should not ignore such noise.
"So you got too bored waiting and started sitting here in a daze?"
He was briefly confused and even thought about taking a look over there.
But soon, an organization cadre who had encountered many emergencies cut off his unnecessary curiosity in time: "Why should I care whether they leave or not? Ignore them and continue to clean up."
He rinsed the rag again and continued wiping until the entire room was spotless.
After completing the comprehensive cleaning, Calvados wiped his hands, looked at the results of his labor, and nodded with satisfaction.
But he soon discovered that the room still looked shabby. After a closer look, it seemed that the problem was with the old furniture.
——For example, the old TV in the corner.
"What era is this? They still use cathode ray tube TVs..." Calvados walked over speechlessly, intending to move it out of the room and throw it to the landlord. "Just remove it and replace it with a projector. This way, you can still watch movies at home. It's safer than in the cinema."
He stopped beside the TV and was about to reach out, but at this moment, the TV buzzed and lit up.
A black and white snow screen appeared in front of him. At the same time, a mosquito-like voice appeared in his ears, sometimes far away and sometimes near:
[Get out, get out...]
"?!" Calvados was startled and looked up suddenly. The next moment, a disheveled woman suddenly pressed in front of the TV. She pressed against the screen, her face covered with burns and full of resentment: [Get out, get out of here!]
Calvados took two steps back in fear. But soon, his reason overcame his instinct of being frightened. He snorted coldly: "Playing tricks..."
He was about to raise his hand to turn off the switch, but at this moment, a snow-white hand made of strange material emerged from the screen and gently grasped his wrist.
The hand had no signs of life, as if it was made of clay, but it was moving!
Calvados was stunned for a moment when he saw the ghost hand that suddenly appeared on his wrist.
Almost at the same time, he found that some things of the same material began to bulge out on the screen. They squirmed and outlined the eyebrows and eyes of the female ghost on TV. It looked like a ghost was about to pass through the screen and crawl out of the TV.
“…”
...There are really ghosts in this world? ? !
As this thought flashed through his mind, Calvados threw away the thing that was holding him, kicked over the TV, and rushed out of the house.
…
"ah--!!"
As Calvados instinctively ran for his life, a scream rang out from Room 5, covering up the movement he made.
——Two hours ago.
In Room 5, which is where the landlord lives, several people were playing mahjong and before they knew it, they all fell asleep.
They had originally agreed to leave at 8 o'clock, but after waking up, Mao Lilan looked at the watch in a daze and found that it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.
She sat up blankly, wondering where she was, when her attention was attracted by the glowing TV in the corner.
——The lights in the room went out at some point, leaving only the TV on. But there was no program playing on the TV, only a flickering snow screen and a vague female voice coming from nowhere: [Get out, get out…]
Mao Lilan's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad premonition. The next moment, her premonition came true - exactly the same as the ghost encounter the landlord had just described, a female ghost with burns all over her body suddenly appeared and stuck closely to the screen.
"ah!!!"
After being stunned for a while, Mao Lilan finally came back to her senses from this terrifying scene and suddenly burst into a violent scream.
The screams woke up the other people in the room. They saw Jiang Xia and Maori Kogoro sitting up one after another. Maori Ran grabbed them one by one and trembled, "Ghost! There's a ghost on TV!"
"Ah?" Kogoro Mouri yawned and turned to look at the CRT TV in the corner, but only saw a black and white snowy screen.
He shook his head and said helplessly: "You are already a high school student, but you are afraid of this kind of thing - didn't I tell you that the snow screen appears because of the bad signal, not because of ghosts."
"...Hmm?" Mao Lilan heard something wrong in the voice and mustered up the courage to look back.
Sure enough, on the TV behind him, there was only a black and white snowflake - the scary female ghost disappeared at some point.
Next to him, Jiang Xia stood up, touched the light cord, and turned on the light in the room. At the same time, he asked the terrified classmate, "What did you see?"
Maori Kogoro said on behalf of his daughter: "She must have thought about it during the day and had a nightmare about ghosts at night."
"It's not a nightmare!" Mao Lilan looked at the brightened environment and her panic subsided a little. "I really saw it. There was a young woman with disheveled hair and burns on her body on TV just now!"
Conan also woke up. He stretched and looked outside the door with some confusion: Why does it feel like there is some strange movement outside?
But when he listened carefully, he could only hear the rustling sound of the TV. After hesitating for a moment, Conan climbed to the side of the TV cabinet and looked down.
Maori Kogoro looked at his watch and said, "It's already ten o'clock. Why didn't the landlord call us?"
Jiang Xia pointed to the bottom of the table on the right: "He seems to be sleeping more soundly than us."
Maori Kogoro looked at the person lying there and snoring: "..."
He shook his head speechlessly and opened the door: "I drank too much juice. I'm going to the bathroom. Wake up this old man and tell him we're leaving."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped at the door and was slightly startled: "Hey who... Mr. Yamaguchi? What are you doing standing in the corridor?"
Conan: “?!”
He was so sleepy that he almost forgot that the suspicious man in black lived in the room on the same floor!
He rushed out quickly and looked up to see that "Mr. Yamaguchi" had a pale face and was staring down at his wrist, as if he was thinking about life.
Conan also quickly looked at his wrist, but after looking left and right, he didn't find anything wrong.
Next to him, Kogoro Mouri was in a hurry to go to the toilet. Without thinking much, he ran quickly to the bathroom.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he couldn't help but pinch his nose in disgust: "It stinks, the light is so bad, what is this thing on the ground, the dead body of a moth?... The sanitation of the public toilet is so bad, as a landlord, the old man is too derelict in his duty!"
But there was no time to find another toilet, so the hard-working old detective had to make do with it while cursing.
