Chapter 5, Floor 4

Come with me

The fourth floor is sealed off," the old lady replied, "only the elevator can access it

After arriving at the 5th floor, the elderly lady walked towards a door near the stairwell, took out her keys, and opened the door

The elderly woman's murky eyes fixed on Zhao Long, yet she remained silent, turning directly around and walking towards the staircase.

At that moment, the door opened again, and the elderly lady came out holding a bunch of keys

I... I am not afraid... but please don't shake my hand so violently...

"Mrs. Chen, please clarify why we cannot go to the 4th floor?"

Originally, under normal circumstances, in the case of an elderly lady who clearly has vision problems, whether it is Dong Xie or Dong Ning, they would both go up to assist her. However, the current situation is too strange, and they do not dare to act rashly

"Aning, hold my hand tightly." Dong Xie grasped Dong Ning's hand firmly and said, "If anything happens, I will take you to escape immediately. The blood letter has not officially begun yet..."

As the old lady spoke her last few words, her voice became exceedingly strange

Upon reaching the door of Room 104, Zhao Long stopped in his tracks, stepped forward, and pressed the doorbell

Fortunately, nothing happened at all

This surprised Zhao Long and Dong Xie. When they entered earlier, they saw the elevator and, considering the elderly woman's advanced age, they were initially concerned that she would need to take the elevator.

"Hoo..." Dong Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Dong Ning: "A Ning, do not be afraid... I..."

At that moment, they arrived at the 4th floor. It was at this time that they discovered that the passageway leading to the 4th floor was blocked by an iron door.

Then, the elderly lady... ... walked towards the direction of the stairs

At this moment, all three were very anxious, fearing that something terrifying would appear after opening the door

But the old lady said nothing further

This is the key. Take it

"Well... Mr. Chen, we have arrived. Your father is not here; your mother brought us up. The thing is, I have a question..."

Um ... ... good ... ...

Why ... ...

Um... yes, that's right... the other two people, they would like to see the community environment as well. Mrs. Chen, could you please take us to the house first

Hmm?

I don't think the problem will be too serious. " Dong Ning turned on the flashlight on her phone to illuminate the surroundings: " Nothing will happen, brother. Without enough signs of survival, we will be fine.

This immediately left Zhao Long, Dong Xie, and Dong Ning all taken aback

... two are missing

Hmm... can't we go to the 4th floor? Why not? Zhao Long's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, filled with fear... The core issue of the blood letter lies here. Naturally, he must ask for clarification.

At that moment, the light above suddenly dimmed for a brief moment, and it took about two seconds to brighten again. The sudden change startled all three of them; although Dong Ning did not say anything, she tightly grasped Dong Xie’s hand, her nails almost piercing into his skin

Watching Mrs. Chen walk downstairs, Zhao Long gritted his teeth and said, "Well... I'll call Mr. Chen's son later. He should know, right? The old lady's speech is incoherent, so it might be pointless to ask."

Zhao Long took out his mobile phone and called the landlord's son

"This place is locked..." Zhao Long pointed at the locked iron gate and asked, "Is this place..."

Dong Ning suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then followed Dong Xie as they walked up the stairs

Dong Ning walked up to the iron gate and used her phone to illuminate the interior of the gate. Outside the gate was a straight long corridor, while the inside was completely pitch black. It appeared to be quite terrifying.

After Zhao Long finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Mo Yuan to respond and walked into the dark Building 3

After approximately ten seconds, the door opened

"One ... ... Two ... ... Three ... ..." The elderly lady, trembling, extended her finger, revealing her mouth missing several teeth, and said: "It was agreed, there are five people, right?"

The elderly lady scanned Zhao Long with her murky eyes, then looked at Dong Xie and Dong Ning, and continued to speak in vague terms: "You all wait a moment"

At that moment, Zhao Long suddenly felt something strange

Zhao Long, puzzled, took the key and had no time to say anything before the old lady spoke: "Remember one thing. No matter what happens, do not go to the 4th floor. No matter... what... happens..."

Then... that... Zhao Long took a step back and said: "We are the tenants who agreed to move in... I just called..."

In the past records of the blood letters, the survivors have summarized many survival experiences. During the execution of the blood letters, it is important to stay away from mirrors and avoid entering enclosed spaces as much as possible. Elevators, during the period of blood letter executions, can be considered as moving coffins. Originally, Zhao Long was still thinking of finding some excuse not to take the elevator, but now it has become simpler.

As they reached the stairs, the elderly lady walked in front, while they followed behind

They are going to the fifth floor. The elderly lady is clearly struggling to walk, but why does she not choose to take the elevator? Could it be that the elevator is out of order

Then, she closed the door

The elderly lady walked slowly, and behind her, Zhao Long, Dong Xie, and Dong Ning also moved at a rather sluggish pace. The staircase was covered with cobwebs, and the walls were riddled with cracks. It appeared to be quite old indeed

The old lady tilted her head slightly, looking towards Zhao Long, and the light in front of the elevator brightened a little. At this moment, upon closer inspection, the old lady's cloudy eyeballs had almost lost all traces of black.

The lighting is very dim

Blockade

The rental contract was previously signed by Zhao Long and Mr. Chen's son, who lives in the urban area of K City. Mrs. Chen must have never seen them. They just handed over the keys without even checking their identification cards

The 4th floor... is just the floor below... cannot go... then, is it noisy down there... that one?

Finally, we have arrived at the 5th floor

My mother? Mr. Zhao, are you joking? My mother... has long since passed away!

Dong Xie also chased after her, intending to ask for clarification, but Mrs. Chen did not respond and directly walked down the steps. Dong Xie wanted to catch up, but he hesitated. This was on the staircase, and if something unexpected happened, there were too many precedents of elderly people engaging in fraud by staging accidents these days

This stretch of road is not particularly long. However, due to the dim lighting, the three individuals walked cautiously, fearing that some terrifying entity might suddenly leap out. Such occurrences, based on past bloody examples, are entirely possible.

At this moment, a hunchbacked old lady appeared at the door. She looked to be at least seventy or eighty years old, with sparse white hair and a face covered in age spots. Her eyes were extremely cloudy, as if she were suffering from cataracts.

This is a house of less than one hundred square meters, but it is sufficient for five people to stay for just a few hours, so size is not a concern. Upon entering, the elderly lady turned on the light and then said: "This is it"

He then took a breath and stepped back three paces

This is it

Throughout this journey, they kept their mobile phones on flashlight mode, trying to dispel a bit of darkness as much as possible. However, the light had no effect on the evil spirits at all
