The walls were cracked in all directions, like a centipede crawling.
You Jun felt a chill run down his spine, and the coldness grew stronger and stronger, while the cracking sound in his ears became clearer and clearer.
Suddenly, a small piece of concrete fell from the wall, revealing a small hole.
It was pitch black inside, and the walls were clearly hollow.
You Jun suddenly felt the temperature in the room drop sharply, so cold that he shivered and his legs trembled unconsciously.
The surrounding air suddenly became thin, causing his breathing to become rapid involuntarily.
He was the only one in the room.
But he could sense that someone... no, a ghost was staring at him.
You Jun stared intently at the cave entrance, his face filled with fear, his mind tense, and he dared not blink.
He wanted to run, but his feet seemed to be entangled in vines, and he couldn't lift them.
Suddenly, a faint sound came from inside the wall, as if someone was scratching at it with their fingernails.
Harsh and unpleasant to hear.
Like noise.
Suddenly, the sound stopped.
A finger fell out of the narrow hole.
Seeing the blood-stained, corroded, rotten finger infested with maggots, You Jun frowned and couldn't help but gag, as if something in his stomach was about to come up.
Disgusting, nothing but disgusting.
【Ahhhh, a hollow wall! There's definitely something inside!】
Are you on 2G or did your village just get internet? That finger that just fell out of that little hole?!
[Ahhhhhh, may the Bodhisattva protect us! May the Bodhisattva protect us!]
This young man will be traumatized for the rest of his life!
The viewers in the live stream went wild. Just looking at the camera made them feel chills. Wouldn't the viewers who were actually there be traumatized for the rest of their lives?
[Call the police! Call the police! Call the police right now!]
【vomit--】
Let me go throw up for a bit.
"Hey bro, give me your address, or tell me which district and area it is, I'll call the police for you."
[I cried. I was wrong, I was so wrong. I shouldn't have watched the live stream so late at night. If I hadn't watched it, I wouldn't have seen this. If I hadn't seen this, I could have had a good night's sleep.]
"Call the police!" Jiang Yuan repeated, staring at the camera.
Today is the seventh day after her death, but her soul has not appeared.
There must be something hindering the other party.
Otherwise, the room couldn't possibly be filled with such resentment!
Asking this netizen to chisel through the wall would be asking too much of him.
He'll probably live in the shadows for the rest of his life after he breaks through the wall.
The only thing to do is call the police and let them come.
It's unclear whether Jiang Yuan's voice dispelled You Jun's fear or whether he had finished vomiting and gradually regained his senses.
He quickly dialed the number and called the police, then confidently gave out the address in front of his viewers in the live stream.
He then called the landlord.
It's necessary to let the landlord know about this.
After today, he'll have to ask the landlord to cancel the lease and find a new place to live!
After finishing the call, You Jun gripped his phone tightly, as if it were a life-saving charm. He curled up in a corner, peeking out and staring intently at the wall.
The walls made occasional sounds as concrete gradually fell to the ground.
The small hole gradually turned into a large hole.
Every time concrete fell, You Jun's heart would jump.
At first, all you could see was that it was dark inside and hollow.
As the concrete crumbled, the light shone in, and he could see more.
That red thing looks like... a skirt?
[It should be; the dark red stains on it are likely blood.]
Based on my experience with autopsies, that was the hem of the skirt, the lower part of the body. The white specks on it were probably maggots. As Master Jiang said, the girl had probably been dead for about seven days. However, given the hot weather, it's unusual that after seven days, the body was only decaying and infested with maggots without emitting a strong stench.
[Experience in autopsies? May I ask, sir, what is your expertise...?]
[Forensic pathologist.]
Even if the walls are freshly painted, the sudden peeling paint indicates shoddy construction, and it's even hollow. Only a thin layer of paint was applied to the surface, yet the smell hasn't dissipated; something's wrong.
The netizen whose profession is forensic pathologist emphasized this twice.
If not preserved, and given the summer heat and the enclosed, stuffy environment, a corpse will generally start to stink within three days.
The wall is thin; this sophomore should have been able to smell it much earlier.
"Yes, no...no odor! I didn't smell anything when that finger fell out!" You Jun nodded repeatedly as he answered the forensic doctor.
If we can't smell anything yet, that's even more suspicious. Let's wait for the police to arrive.
We can only wait for the police, hang in there, bro!
[Hang in there, big brother!]
[If possible, please don't point your phone at the corpse later, otherwise I'm afraid the live stream will get banned...]
The viewers pleaded, not afraid of anything else, but afraid that the live stream would be banned.
If it gets blocked, they won't be able to watch it!
"I, I'll try my best," You Jun replied, chatting with his viewers while keeping an eye on the wall.
The single sofa in front of that wall is his favorite. Every night he sits there to video chat with his friends and discuss starting a business.
Even just sitting there, he would feel a chill in the air, as if someone was watching him.
He doubted heaven, he doubted earth, and he even doubted whether he was being too sensitive and suspicious, but he never doubted that there was a corpse inside the wall!
After a long while, the doorbell rang.
You Jun rushed to the door as if his feet were greased, and opened it without thinking.
Upon seeing the police officers in front of him, You Jun felt as if he had finally met the people who could save his life.
In addition to the police, the landlord also happened to arrive at that moment.
Upon seeing You Jun, the landlord immediately spoke up, "Mr. You, this house is only six years old, it's still considered a new house. You...you must have mistaken me for someone else, right?"
"Jiao Shi does have a daughter, but she doesn't live here. She only comes to visit Jiao Shi on Saturdays or Sundays."
“If it weren’t for Jiao Shi’s daughter’s job transfer to another place, and Jiao Shi’s decision to go and take care of her, I wouldn’t have been willing to let him leave.”
"Honest and clean, he will even help clean up other people's trash outside their doors. Such tenants are rare."
The landlord's words both praised the previous tenant and expressed some dissatisfaction with You Jun.
Jiao Shi had been renting this house for six years without any problems.
The young man paid the rent readily, but after only a few days, he received a late-night phone call saying there was a corpse in the house and the previous tenant was a murderer, and that he needed to come over immediately.
He immediately thought it was impossible.
The previous tenant seemed like an honest person; how could he possibly do such a thing?
This shows that the young man was lying, or rather...
He has hysteria!
If the young man hadn't been in such a hurry and hadn't said he'd called the police, he would have hung up on him right then and there.
It's late at night, and he's not sleeping; he still wants to sleep.
