Chapter 217 Theme Competition: Fortune Apartment (2)
Chapter 217 Theme Competition: Fortune Apartment (2)
"How could there be any danger?" Gu Shijiu didn't quite understand.
Shi Qi pondered for a moment: "Perhaps it's something like a murder mystery game?"
Gu Shijiu was very interested: "That looks fun!"
"That's all for now, be sure to stay safe." Shi Qi patted her head.
Then, Gu Shijiu pressed the button to enter the script, and the two disappeared from the live broadcast room.
"Miss, are you sure you want to move into this apartment?" the young man with a name tag on his chest asked Gu Shijiu.
Gu Shijiu had just entered the script and hadn't yet reacted, unsure how to answer.
In the past, I was usually fighting against life-threatening injuries at this time, and this was the first time someone was by my side.
"Miss...Miss?" The young man was a real estate agent. Seeing her in a daze, he asked again, "If you really want to stay here, I suggest you stay in another room."
"Huh?" Gu Shijiu recalled the plot, "This room is a haunted house?"
Young man: Good heavens, it turns out all that talk so far has been for nothing.
"Yes, Miss Gu. Three years ago, the psychopathic killer Xu Zhongtian murdered and dismembered someone in room 1688. After being arrested, he committed suicide in prison."
A year ago, several migrant workers shared an apartment, and within six months, they disappeared one after another.
According to information released by the victim's relatives and friends, they lived in house number 1686, which was right next to house number 1688.
Since then, the apartment has been known as a haunted house, attracting many online celebrities and college students to explore it.
Some people did manage to photograph strange things, but many people suspected that these were all fakes.
In short, the mystery surrounding Fuyun Apartments is growing stronger.
The most recent paranormal event involved a live-streaming team filming on this floor, after which everyone went missing.
They left no trace, and the police have not yet released any information; these people seem to have vanished into thin air.
Some say it's a publicity stunt, but the authorities haven't denied it. Others speculate that it's the spirit of that deranged serial killer at work.
After this incident, the management no longer allows any individual or team to come and film, but renting is still permitted...
Gu Shijiu didn't have time to analyze the agent's long speech and quickly interrupted, "I want to live here. Can I move in right now?"
They looked as if they were afraid someone would steal it from them.
"Uh, then we need to sign a rental agreement first." The agent was taken aback, probably because he had never seen someone so eager to get themselves into trouble.
"Sign, sign, sign." Gu Shijiu nodded vigorously, took out her phone, and used her fingerprint to unlock and pay.
Fortunately, the script depicts an era of electronic payments; otherwise, she wouldn't know where the money would come from.
When signing her name, Gu Shijiu paused and almost signed the wrong name. The character's name was Gu Nian, which was just the same as her surname.
With the house arrangement settled, Gu Shijiu finally noticed a suitcase at her feet.
It was probably for herself, since no one wanted it, so she just dragged it away.
Gu Shijiu stayed there that very day.
The suitcase contains daily necessities, which can basically meet my daily needs.
There's a convenience store downstairs and a supermarket across the street; you can buy whatever you need there.
The room was very clean, as if it had just been cleaned.
There was a camera set up opposite the bedside table, which looked a bit strange; it was probably left behind by the previous live-streaming team.
Gu Shijiu ignored it, washed up, and went to bed.
Just as she fell asleep, the camera clicked on itself and started recording.
The viewers in the Misty Immortal Realm who had been watching the live stream were startled.
"Here it comes, here it comes, you won't get a good night's sleep tonight."
"My goodness, look at that doll, it's moving by itself!"
"I'm most afraid of watching horror movies, but this live stream is even scarier and more immersive than the movie."
"Why?! Why?! There are always scenes where ghosts pop out of the mirror! Can we file a complaint?!"
"I can tell that the people upstairs are most afraid of this kind of ghost."
......
The audience watched as several non-human creatures held a party in the room, and every now and then they would approach Gu Shijiu's pillow, trying to wake her up.
Unfortunately, her sleep quality was a bit too good; she slept soundly until dawn and couldn't be woken up no matter how much she was called.
After waking up in the morning, Gu Shijiu looked around the room.
The strange creatures had returned to stillness and looked like mere decorations.
"Huh?" Gu Shijiu felt something was off. She pinched the doll on the bedside table.
The doll's hair was long yesterday, but today it's short and has been permed.
"Help! That was cut by the scissors on the table last night! And then the doll went to get a curling iron to curl its hair."
"The mirror is cracked, the table has been moved, are you blind?"
Gu Shijiu did feel that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
She had no recollection of what the room looked like before she went to sleep.
The camera recorded a videotape, but Gu Shijiu showed no intention of watching it.
The videotape had to be played on the camera itself, emitting terrifying sound effects.
Gu Shijiu was indeed startled by the hissing sound: "Is it broken?"
She reached out and patted the camera several times. There was no other way; this was the only way she knew how to repair any broken equipment.
Unfortunately, the camera seemed to be too old, and Gu Shijiu shattered it into pieces on the ground.
Was there any sound just now?
Hearing it barely clearly, Gu Shijiu thought it might be because he had just woken up in the morning and was feeling listless.
She was mainly hungry, so she opened the refrigerator, but there was nothing inside.
Let's go down and buy it, and while we're at it, let's observe the surrounding environment.
Yesterday was a bit rushed, and I didn't have time to explore the area.
Gu Shijiu stared blankly for a while, then looked at the time and it was already noon.
Okay, breakfast becomes lunch.
She hurried downstairs to buy food. The sun was blazing outside, and although the lights were on in the apartment building's hallway, it was still somewhat cold and dim.
The insulation is quite good, and Gu Shijiu is very satisfied.
The temperature is so high, it must be summer, but the apartment isn't hot at all. She didn't even turn on the air conditioner last night.
As soon as I got down to the lobby, I saw a family hurriedly loading their luggage onto a moving truck.
The male homeowner was drenched in sweat, while the female homeowner looked panicked, as if she were fleeing for her life.
At the far end of the lobby is the administrator's duty room.
Gu Shijiu had already taken the key from there yesterday.
The administrator was a middle-aged man with a lot of fat and a bad temper.
Upon seeing Gu Shijiu, he greeted her proactively: "Miss Gu, how did you sleep last night? Why are you only getting up at this hour?"
"Oh, that's good." Gu Shijiu didn't have the habit of explaining things to others, so she only answered his first question.
A young man nearby scoffed, "A shabby apartment manager trying to chat up beautiful women? Do you think they'll even pay you any attention?"
Afterwards, he tried to talk to Gu Shijiu: "Beautiful lady, what brings you to this place? Are you here looking for excitement too?"
