Chapter 94 - Waving at You (1)
Looking back, the sky was already completely bright. As the sun rose, the lights in the surroundings gradually went out. The night's revelry was already coming to an end.
I sat down and asked the couple: "Don't worry, we are all experts in this field, there is nothing to be afraid of, but I want to ask a question, like what happened tonight, was it common in the past?"
The couple shook their head and replied in unison: "It's not common, but there is. The lights that were extinguished at night suddenly lit up and little animal screams would frequently appear in Courtyard. However, they have never been as intense as last night."
It was indeed very intense last night. If it was like this every night in the neighborhood, we would have gone on the news a long time ago and wouldn't even need to come here.
I touched my chin. What the hell is going on?
There were obviously no ghosts in the neighborhood, but there were still a lot of strange incidents happening, and I was able to confirm one thing. The couple told me that most of the people in the neighborhood left because there were always these kinds of weird things, and a lot of people said that there were ghost monsters, and that the place used to have sepulchre, which resulted in a large number of residents moving out, thus making it a desolate neighborhood.
Looks like this is a real ghost incident, then the things that Guo Qiang asked us to solve can only be considered as finding the right person!
Li Ruoxi, who was behind me, suggested, "When the storm arrives, there is only one place that is safe and calm, and that is the center of the storm. We have already discovered the center position, so why don't we take a look?"
I know what Li Ruoxi is talking about, and Li Ruoxi is talking about that old couple opposite us. Last night, it was only their family that was safe and sound.
Looking at the time, it was only around 5 in the morning. For those of us who haven't slept all night, it's already too late. For those of us who haven't woken up, it's still too early.
Just when I was thinking about this, I realized that I was overthinking it. The Windows opened up and a old woman wearing gray pajamas stood in front of the Windows.
The old woman looked to be in his seventies, with a head full of white hair, and a kind smile on his face. His eyes seemed somewhat wooden as he stared at us, but there was nothing abnormal about that.
The old woman extended his hand and continuously called out to me, as if he was letting us pass. I shouted to the Windows: "Grandma, what are you doing?!"
old woman still kept on waving his hand, it should be because it was far away, and even when he was old he would not hear me, so I used my eyes on Li Ruoxi.
Without further ado, we walked out of the room and greeted our neighbors.
The neighbor's house was almost the same as ours, except that in terms of Courtyard design, it was different.
Their Courtyard has a man-made fake mountain, beside it is a small pavilion, within the pavilion is a Table chair, and also a set of stone chessboard, one could tell that this is where the elderly people recuperate, I walked over and knocked on the door. Previously, it was the other party who took the initiative to greet us, so it can't be considered as me coming here uninvited.
Following the sound of aged footsteps, the door opened. However, the person who opened the door was not the old lady but an old man.
The old man wore a set of Suit clothes, and was even wearing a tie. He looked very proper, and old lady was currently supporting the old man as they stood together.
The old man didn't speak to us. Just like the old lady, his eyes were also fixed on us. I nodded my head to the old man and smiled.
I did not think too much about it. When I first came here, I came empty-handed, but luckily Li Ruoxi had already made preparations, so Li Ruoxi casually took out a dessert and passed it to the old man. This was considered a form of greeting gift.
As the saying goes, courtesy and affection are important. This is the custom of our place, but the old man did not receive it after he handed his hand over.
