Chapter 451 The Little Beloved of the Domineering President (17)
Frequently frightened, Mei Lauper and his companions panicked and wanted to run out of the building, but in the end they ran upstairs.
The door to the rooftop was locked, and the four of them could only hide on the stairs, their spirits about to collapse.
Zhen Piaoliang cried, "I shouldn't have followed you here. If I had accepted the invitation to switch to another program group earlier, I wouldn't have to go through these terrible things now!"
The others were stunned for a moment.
Mei Lauper said, "Someone invited you to switch jobs?"
Zhen Piaoliang didn't want to reply and ignored Mei Lauper.
In fact, it is understandable that someone invited Zhen Piaoliang to change jobs. She has good looks and a group of fans on the Internet. Although she has a bad personality, in front of the camera, her image is that of a caring and beautiful big sister, and she has received many good reviews.
It is not surprising that other program groups would invite Zhen Piaoliang.
The program group led by Mei Lauper is already on the decline, and smart people should seize the opportunity to leave. After being stunned for a while, he said stupidly: "Then why don't you leave?"
Zhen Piaoliang: "Because I'm stupid."
She laughed sarcastically, and didn't know who she was sarcastically referring to.
Bao Dabai didn't care about these things. He said tremblingly: "We shouldn't have come here! Boss, whose order did you take to come here?"
"I..." Mei Lauper gritted his teeth and said: "It was a woman named Qiao. She paid us to come here, and she also spread the word that...said..."
Bao Dabai: "Said what?"
"Even if there are no ghosts here, we have to make it seem that there are ghosts here. It would be best to prove that there is a curse so that everyone will be afraid to come to this area."
They had received similar orders before. Those businessmen would ask them to ruin the reputation of their competitors' territories, causing damage to the competitors' businesses and making it impossible for them to operate.
Mei Lapo didn't think it was strange when he received the order. After all, he was in this business. Moreover, the reward offered by the woman surnamed Qiao was very generous. He thought that he would have funds to turn over after completing this order. Who could have thought that there was really a ghost here!
"No, that's not right." Mei Lapo looked at the new employee Qi Yue. "It was after I decided to come to Shanshuizhinan that the woman surnamed Qiao contacted me. When I asked you to sort out the information of haunted houses everywhere, it was you who handed in the information of Shanshuizhinan."
The camera was aimed at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue was also frightened by the ghosts before. Her face was pale and she stammered: "You asked me to collect information. Only Shanshuizhinan has all kinds of strange rumors. At the same time, it is not the farthest, so it is convenient to travel. In addition, Shanshuizhinan is not far from the recently popular Heartbeat Paradise, so it must be more popular, so... that's why I..."
Qi Yue whispered: "Didn't you make the final decision?"
The implication was that she should not be blamed.
In such an extreme environment, even the new employees who usually accept things can't help but become tough.
Mei Lapo's face looked unhappy, "Okay, there's no need to talk about what happened before. The most urgent thing is to find a way to escape."
Zhen Piaoliang said without hope: "Those monsters are so ferocious, how can we escape?"
Qi Yue took out a book from her bag, "In order to do better at work, I specially found a lot of books about ghosts. It says that as long as you can find out what object the powerful ghost died under before he died, and stab this object into his body, you can kill him again."
Mei Lapo took the book and flipped through it, "Where did you find such a shabby book?"
"I found it in the library."
Although there is a saying that a gentleman does not speak of strange things, now that they have seen ghosts with their own eyes, they have to believe in such supernatural things.
Mei Lapo said: "Maybe the methods written in this book are really useful."
Zhen Piaoliang said: "It's easy to put it simply. Not to mention that we don't know how those ghosts died. Even if we know, who knows where the weapons went?"
"I think I know something." Qi Yue took out another document from his bag. "This is the information that the boss asked me to organize before. I have collected all the homicides and terrorist incidents that have occurred in this building."
Bao Dabai took a look at the thick stack of information and said: "Where did you get the channels to collect so much information?"
Qi Yue replied: "Some people in my family are folklorists, and some are reporters and policemen. They know a lot of gossip."
Mei Lapo opened the document in front of the camera.
Shanshuizhinan is located in the western suburbs of Tonghua City. More than a hundred years ago, there was an academy here.
It was an academy called "Shanshui Academy". Boys from nearby families with better financial conditions would be sent here to study. The dean was also a kind-hearted person. Even if a boy's family was in trouble and could not continue to study, he would reduce or waive the tuition fees.
Of course, the expenses in the academy were huge, but fortunately, there were some kind-hearted wealthy businessmen in the society who would donate some money. If there were children with good character and academic performance, they would be invited to perform poems and songs at banquets in the upper class. Not only could they see the world, but foreigners would also take photos of the children with the most advanced cameras as souvenirs.
Even though many places were caught in war due to historical circumstances, Shanshui Academy was able to survive under the protection of many celebrities, as if it had become the only pure land in the world. After that, the country was stable and a new business environment emerged. These celebrities also went their separate ways for a way out, and the academy naturally declined.
Time passed, and forty years ago, the old site of the academy was razed and a residential building was built on it.
This residential building was originally used to accommodate workers and their families from a nearby factory. Soon after it was built, all the rooms in the building were occupied, and then not long after, the people living in it felt more or less strange.
For example, someone knocked on the wall late at night, and when you ask the neighbors, there is nothing wrong.
For example, sometimes a figure would pass by the window, but when you looked carefully, the figure disappeared.
Another example is that when you turn on the hot water to take a shower, the hot water is turned off for no reason, and the water becomes cold, which makes you shiver.
More and more people said that they could not live there anymore. After the factory closed down, most of the residents moved out.
In other words, only those who are in particularly difficult financial situations have no choice but to stay here.
More than 20 years ago, a tragic case occurred in this building. In order to protect himself from his mentally ill wife, the husband had to grab a kitchen knife and kill his wife. This building was even more shrouded in a terrible shadow.
