Chapter 270:

Seeing Ji Bai's unknown appearance, the old man took a deep breath and took a sip of hot tea, trying to dispel the cold from his body.

"Do you remember that I told you that it's forbidden to set foot on the second and third floors?" After a moment of indulgence, Elder Berman spoke slowly.

"Remember, maybe there are some important things on the second and third floors? I apologize for my companion."

"Apologize, let's avoid it! Your companion is now afraid of life or death." The old man Berman put the teacup on the low table and raised his body. "Life or death is in doubt? What does this mean? I also ask Mr. Berman to say. Clear." Ji Bai felt the atmosphere was a little weird.

"You are outsiders and don't know the situation in the suburbs of Beicheng." The old man's face changed drastically, as if thinking of something terrible. It was late at night when the rescue arrived, and it was already the first morning when the rescue arrived. The fire burned out, leaving only a broken wall. ’

"So, was this apartment left behind in that fire?"

"I bought this apartment for subsequent reconstruction. At that time, the second and third floors were burned so that only the frame was left. Only the first floor was still intact. With that, the old man lowered his hat brim.

"In the beginning, I planned to build a hostel apartment, but when midnight fell, weird things happened." Old man Berman expressed his feelings. "First, the residents reported that they always heard people wandering outside the corridor at night, and then for a week, even one. Moon has the same dream.

"In my dream, there was always a rickety old man standing outside the door spying on them, and he was very close. When he woke up, he found a gap in the locked door. Those customers who were more courageous decided to explore. , But the next day, these people disappeared in this apartment without exception, and no one saw them again." Old Berman's tone was solemn and serious.

"Someone disappeared? Didn't the Knights send a knight to investigate?" Ji Bai raised his doubts.

"It was dispatched, but this land is a hot potato, and the reconstruction work of the Knights is also blocked. The knights who know the evil of this land are only routinely searched but there has been no result. In the end, the matter did not stop."

"The second floor and the third floor?...Did something happen on it?"

"I don’t know. I heard people say that this was a wood factory. A family of four bought it and sold wood products for a living. When a fire broke out, the second and third floors of the dry wood stockpiled caught a serious fire. All four of the family died. I was spared."

"There are rumors that the fire was not burned for no reason. It was a long deliberate conspiracy. In the end, the fire couldn't be controlled and the entire suburbs were destroyed. The original homeowner's family of four obsessed deeply. Every time at midnight, he still wanders on the third floor and the building that was once a timber house.

"The people who died in the suburban fire seem to have not realized that they are dead. They will wake up at midnight and repeat the life style of their lives."

"I'm going up and looking for him now, why can't I?" In Ji Bai's view, gods or ghosts are nothing more than special, or high-level beings. When necessary, he doesn't mind using the hilt to reason with them.

"Will it be useful for you to go up now? Even if you are really wronged, it is after midnight, and this apartment is no different from an ordinary apartment during the day." Berman gave Ji Bai angrily.

"Wait for the night, wouldn't it be okay during the day?" Ji Bai felt that these words were very illogical, but strange things like ghosts and ghosts were not creatures that could be judged by logic.

"If you want to find your companion, the only way is to stay at night, and it will be possible after the "door" is opened." The old man Berman seemed to be explaining to Ji Bai. Talking to himself. Little I7C" tell me what to do.

"After midnight, I only know this way." The old man said to himself and walked into the room at the end of the corridor at the other end.

"Did you hear?" Pushing open the door, Lin was leaning on the corner.

"Well, do you need help."

"It's not necessary, I just go.

"One more person can take care of it."

"If you haven't curled up into the corner, this sentence is still somewhat convincing."

"If you are afraid, hide in the house and look after your luggage." Ji Bai sighed.

Raising insects for a thousand days and using insects for a while, why is this parasite so useless at the critical moment?

One of the two teammates was missing and waiting for him to save, the other was frightened and incontinent before he even went to the battlefield.

The pig teammates, can't lead, still have to go out by themselves.

"Boom." The door was suddenly brought up, and a strong wind blew.

Ji Bai, who was about to walk out of the door, was taken aback, as if he had found something, he bent down and fiddled with the door lock.

"what's happenin?"

"It's okay." Ji Bai stood up nonchalantly and patted the dust on his hands.

"Da, da, hour... the second hand of the wall clock oscillated little by little, and finally coincided with the hour and minute hands, pointing right above the center.

It's midnight.

"It's time to go.

Ji Bai held the lantern to the side, and the anxious old man Berman nodded.

"...The old man looked pale and swallowed hard.

"If you can, you can do it yourself

"Since I'm looking for someone, how can I do without a guide who is familiar with the structure? Old gentleman, don't shirk it, it's you." Ji Bai routinely checks the armor belt and confirms that there are a lot of things to bring.

"Besides, my companion disappeared in your hotel. If you don't find you, who can I look for? Don't worry, no matter whether it's a lingering soul or a little thief, no one can hurt you. Since you are hired as a guide, naturally Will be responsible for your life.

"Well, as you wish, Mr. Cavalier." Berman suffocated, only to turn into a helpless sigh.

He didn't know why Ji Bai suddenly insisted on dragging himself up. If he really encountered an accident, he would still be eager to protect himself. This ride, "Let's go, Mr. Berman is more familiar with the terrain of this place, let's lead the way."

"Ahem, the old man only dared to go to the second floor in the daytime, and he couldn't talk about it." Feeling Ji Bai's involuntary attitude behind him, Berman felt that even if he refused, he would force him to lead the way.

Some knights this year are probably lower than the bottom line of evil spirits.

The pale candlelight illuminated a small area around the corridor entrance on the second floor, and Ji Bai soon discovered the abnormal place.

The corner wall is painted with graffiti of various facial features, like a kid’s prank.

"Did you paint these things?"

"Of course not! I'm not so boring." Berman, who was very dissatisfied with Ji Bai's compulsive skills, was not very angry.

"In the opinion of the old man, do you want to search room by room?" Ji Bai stroked the hilt of the sword lightly, and with the help of the faint candlelight, he looked at the second floor, which was very similar in structure to the first floor.

"How would I know.

"Tuk, tuk, wait...".

"Who is there?" Ji Bai pulled out [Silver Throne] and pointed at the corner of the corridor with alert, footsteps came from below.

A flash of silver flashed in the darkness, and Lin with a slight twist on her face walked out from the corner of the first floor.

"Why are you here? Didn't you look at your luggage?" Ji Bai frowned slightly, putting the sword in its sheath.

"I, I think it's safer to act together to prevent one by one from being destroyed." Lin is serious, and the analysis is well-founded. Well, if her legs don't tremble constantly, Ji Bai might believe it.

"Come on, don't get lost." Ji Bai didn't bother to worry about Xiao Jiujiu in the heart of this female vampire.

Are vampires afraid of ghosts? Those who didn't know thought it was a cold joke.

But it's okay, someone will help you.

Well, this idea was dispelled when Ji Bai saw that Lin was frightened by the weird graffiti on the wall to maintain her poker face.
