Chapter 207 The Dead Ghost
Xia Letian was cold all over.
Through the two examples of Chen Keman and this old man, Xia Letian has already had a rough guess about the game.
Why do the residents of this so-called game world have such real and complete memories?
Why are the emotions and reactions of these residents so real?
The answer is already obvious.
Because the residents of the game are indeed living people, but they became passers-by in the game for unknown reasons after death.
Perhaps these people did not know that they were dead.
The perception modified by the game allows them to continue to live their lives in this game world.
Xia Letian didn't know whether it was lucky or sad for these people.
After all, these people are already considered dead in reality, but now they can live in this world in another way, no different from before.
But the sad thing is that they may have become puppets of the game, or that the world needs the existence of residents, just to serve the players to better play the game.
They will never know that they are actually being manipulated by the game.
Xia Letian was worried that if he stayed here again, Chen Ding and Pei Ying might see that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said that he was going to investigate elsewhere, and happened to be separated from them.
Xia Letian didn't hide Chen Ding and Pei Ying intentionally, but this kind of thing was too appalling, even he was shocked by this incident and felt chills all over his body, let alone Chen Ding and Pei Ying, I'm afraid it would be greatly affected by it. Shocked, causing restlessness and unable to complete the game smoothly.
Because there are only four unit buildings in the community, the land area is not very large, and because the community is too old, many places have lacked maintenance and become barren and full of weeds.
There is a row of fences about two meters high behind the community, on which mottled acrylic paints can be faintly seen, and the structure inside can even be seen in the damaged places.
And the corner of the wall is covered with a lot of green moss, which is constantly spreading to the stone bricks next to it.
The air in this world is so humid, could it be the rainy season?
Xia Letian frowned, immediately took out the iced mineral water from the space package, drank half of the bottle in one go, and finally felt less humid and stuffy.
It can be said that fortunately there is a space package, which greatly facilitates every player.
After drinking the water, Xia Letian suddenly thought, if the rules of the game prohibit players from escaping the community, are the dead objects in the community also within the scope of this rule?
Thinking of this, Xia Letian looked around and immediately picked up a stone and threw it out of the wall.
Strangely, the moment the stone crossed the wall, it seemed to be erased by an unknown force in an instant, as if it had never appeared before.
Xia Letian snorted.
He was very sure that he didn't have hallucinations. Although the stone was not big, it would definitely make a sound as soon as it landed.
But from the time the stone was thrown until now, no sound came out.
In other words, the stone really disappeared strangely.
Xia Letian's eyes quickly fell on the mineral water bottle held in his left hand. I wonder if throwing this mineral water bottle will have the same result?
But out of caution, Xia Letian still deleted this idea.
After all, the game clearly forbids players to leave the community, and this mineral water bottle is something from the player after all. If the game judges that the player wants to escape from the community, it will be over if it is directly wiped out.
Xia Letian quickly took back the mineral water bottle and walked around the neighborhood.
A young man was on the phone and passed by Xia Letian.
Xia Letian didn't take it seriously at first, but vaguely heard this person mention the "police coming to the door".
Xia Letian paused, then returned to follow behind the young man.
The young man's tone was hurried, and his voice raised unconsciously: "Really, I didn't lie to you! The more I think about it now, the more I feel something is wrong. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
Xia Letian knew only half of what he heard, but his intuition told himself that this young man probably knew something.
I don't know that the game deliberately detected that Xia Letian happened to pass by here, so he arranged for the young man to make a call.
Or it was just a coincidence that when Xia Letian passed by, he happened to meet such a local resident who might know the clue.
Xia Letian's five senses are keen, as long as he gets a little closer to this young man, he can roughly hear the voice on the phone.
"Stop making trouble, it just happened to be a rainy day, how could it have anything to do with the person you mentioned."
The young man became more emotional: "Forget it, I will prove it to you!"
The other side said again: "Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'm still busy here-dududu"
The signal was cut off immediately, and the young man eagerly said hello, hello, and hung up the phone unwillingly, and said in a strange tone: "Why is there no signal suddenly?"
Xia Letian took this opportunity to quickly walk up to the young man, "Hi, I can find out what you just said, is it true?"
There was no need for Xia Letian to deliberately cliché, the young man immediately said excitedly: "You also found something wrong, didn't you!"
The other party seemed to be very eager for someone to agree with his guess.
Xia Letian pushed the boat smoothly and said: "Yes, I am also a resident of this community who just moved in. Recently, I always feel that there is something wrong with this rainy day."
The young man said: "Come on, let me tell you carefully, this rainy day is not formed naturally at all."
The two immediately sat down on the steps casually.
Xia Letian said: "Then tell me quickly, you don't know what I know."
The young man said: "Let me tell you, I am a resident of Unit [-], and I live on the fourth floor. In the past two months, a resident moved in next door to me, a couple."
Xia Letian sat up straight immediately.
So coincidentally.
It seems that the clues this person knows are very likely to be related to supernatural events.
"And then?" Xia Letian asked immediately.
The young man seemed to have been troubled by this matter for a long time, and no one wanted to believe his guess.
And now there is actually another person who sensed something was wrong just like himself. He seemed to have found an outlet for his emotions, and he explained the whole process very clearly in every detail.
The young man said that his name was Zhao Baoquan, he was 26 years old, and he had stayed in this city for about three years. The money he worked for was pitifully low, so he simply moved to this dead community not far from the company and where the rent was cheap.
In his words, he didn't feel that it was so weird that the name of this community was called the Death Community, but he continued to talk about it.
Less than a month after Zhao Baoquan moved in, he found out that a young couple had also moved in next door, about 25 years old.
Because girls are very beautiful.
In addition to always running and exercising in the community, Zhao Baoquan vaguely remembered this girl and that boy.
Then, Zhao Baoquan carefully discovered that the boy next door seemed to disappear mysteriously.
At first he didn't think much about it, but later he found that this girl would no longer run every day, but went out every day and didn't know what to do, and always came back very late, her eyes were swollen unreasonably.
It seems that I have been crying for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Baoquan also discovered that the girl was crying non-stop every day, and then several policemen came to find the girl.
Then the policeman knocked on his door again and asked some questions.
Zhao Baoquan was terrified at first, but after the police comforted and questioned him, he finally understood why the girl next door suddenly became like this.
Almost all the questions the police asked were about the relationship between the young couple. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about the young couple and could not provide any useful clues. He only mentioned that the girl always cried every night, and then the sky would not go away. Liang went out and never saw her running again.
After the police learned about it, they quickly took their leave and left.
Zhao Baoquan couldn't help but sigh.
The girl and the boy were rowing in a scenic area to take pictures and date. Unexpectedly, the girl's clothes fell into the water. The boy jumped down to fish for the clothes, and accidentally drowned in the water.
The girl naturally called for help, but it was too late.
The boy drowned and died, so the girl naturally didn't have the heart to run every day. She probably went out to the lake before dawn.
But strange things happened.
It seems that it was at that time that the whole community seemed to become humid all of a sudden. Obviously, the air in this city is very dry, and there has never been a rainy season.
But in less than two days in the community, moss can be seen everywhere in the corners, especially the corridors are even more humid.
Zhao Baoquan was very suspicious that the boy turned into a ghost after his death! !
Then the ghost lingered and followed the girl back to the community, which is why the community suddenly became humid.
But no one believed his conjectures.
He always felt very creepy. When he thought of ghosts in the community, the water ghosts who drowned to death heard that they had to pull people into the water to escape.
In addition, he and this ghost were neighbors before his death. Although he didn't talk much, he was always worried that if the ghost looked for a substitute, he might come to him first.
Moreover, he also found that there were many water stains inexplicably in his home, especially the mirror and walls, which had to be wiped with a rag every time.
Zhao Baoquan said this, and said: "By the way, besides me, maybe that ghost will find another resident in the next room. I heard that a new resident has just moved into that room today."
When Xia Letian heard this, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and asked, "The room next door you mentioned is 444?"
Zhao Baoquan stared, "Oh? How do you know?"
Xia Letian said: "I'm the 444 resident who just moved here, but I haven't found any water damage in the house yet."
Zhao Baoquan stared again, "This, you are actually next door to 444?!"
What a coincidence it must have happened.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Baoquan said: "Then you should move out as soon as possible, because you just moved here not long ago, maybe you can directly ask the landlord to refund the money."
Xia Letian smiled wryly in his heart.
If he could move away, he would naturally want to move away, but unfortunately the rules of the game did not allow it.
"Then what about you, why don't you move away?" Xia Letian asked.
Zhao Baoquan said with a wry smile: "If I had money, of course I would move out, but I have already paid a year's rent, and I have only lived here for less than two months. If I move out, the money will not be refunded."
Xia Letian: "That's right, by the way, I wonder if it's convenient for you to let me see what's going on in your room?"
Zhao Baoquan said without hesitation: "Okay, let's go now? Anyway, I'm not going to work today."
Xia Letian hummed.
The two walked side by side in the direction of the fourth unit building, but after walking for a long time, they heard that there seemed to be a lot of noise at the gate of the community, and many people were gathering there.
Xia Letian was slightly taken aback.
Did something happen?
He remembered that Liang Hongyu and Wang Ruoyu were at the gate of the community. Could it be that the two of them were attacked first by the ghosts?
While thinking about the reason, Xia Letian quickly walked over.
Zhao Baoquan followed closely behind, "Wait for me!"
