Deep in the Living

Chapter 224 Video
【Holai Apartment】

A single-family apartment building isolated in the suburbs, waiting to be demolished.

Under the special management model of Moon City, even basic demolition work proceeded very slowly, and relevant departments kept delaying.

The apartment is seven stories high, with ten households on each floor.

Rody arrived on time at midnight.

The European-style apartment looks fairly clean from the outside, but as soon as you enter the door you can smell a odor, a smell of insects and decay.

Various garbage and waste were thrown in the lobby area, and there were even some remnants of life left behind by homeless people.

Although there are obvious signs of homeless life, they are not here.

Or they moved away due to some strange incident.

Or been expelled,

Or has been killed.

Go up the stairs.

The foul smell accumulated in the hall area did not follow. The smell on the upper floor was much lighter, but there was still a rotten smell and a faint fishy smell.

A fishy smell that only people like Rody, who are sensitive to blood, can smell.

All the light bulbs in the corridor are broken.

But because of the penetration of moonlight, it was not that dark.

Although the post did not require uploading a video, Luo Di still turned on the button camera throughout the process just to record himself.

He didn't sense any danger at the moment, nor did he notice that there were people in the entire apartment. He couldn't even see a mouse or cockroach. It was too quiet.

The room requested in the post, [Room 710], is located at the deepest part of the top floor.

click!
Rody tried to turn the door handle but found it was locked. Although it was a very old door lock that could be broken with a little force, Rody did not force it open.

He began to search the surrounding area.

Not limited to the vase standing at the end of the passage,
Each wall gap and door gap,
The murals hanging in the passages,

Finally, I found an unmarked key under the carpet at the entrance to the next door.

click!
He actually opened the door of Room 710.

Simple two-bedroom and one-living room structure.

Zizzi~
An honest TV had been turned on in advance, and the screen was full of dense snow dots. It was also the only light source in the room, illuminating the single sofa directly opposite the TV.

The house was very clean and had obviously been swept, completely different from the abandoned apartment building full of dust and garbage.

The doors of the master bedroom and the second bedroom were locked, and even blocked with several layers of wooden boards and iron chains. The windows inside the house were also closed.

Block the light source and block the exit at the same time.

Even the moonlight shining through the corridor could not penetrate into the room at all.

The only two places that were not blocked were the entrance where Rody was currently and the bathroom in the house.

【00: 17】

Roddy formally entered the apartment requested in the post, closing and locking the door behind him.

All lighting equipment in the house was destroyed, and the only lighting source was the television.

Of course, the post did not specify that Roddy was not allowed to bring any equipment. This time he came with a mountaineering bag filled with various emergency items.

Turn on the flashlight's fluorescent mode.

According to the requirements of the post, you also need to find the so-called VHS tape, which is an old-fashioned videotape that has long been eliminated in modern society and can only be seen in some retro movies.

This type of videotape is relatively large and should be easy to find, but Roddy couldn't find it after searching the entire living room.

He could only turn the flashlight and look at the only bathroom whose door was not sealed.

Pushing open the sticky and heavy wooden door, a fishy smell immediately spread out, making Rody's eyes bleed.

Before the door was opened, the light could not wait to penetrate in.

A male corpse that was so rotten and swollen that it was impossible to identify it was hung in the bathroom.
In the form of large inverted characters,
His feet were bound with chains,
It is 120° apart.

The lower body and abdomen were cut open vertically and then stitched together with very crude needlework.

Luo Di had seen many B-grade movies, and immediately connected the scene in front of him with the requirements of the post, and probably knew the "bad taste" in it.

Straight to the body,

Put on gloves,

Hold your breath.

Remove the sutured line at the lower abdomen.

All kinds of rotten organs quickly overflowed, and at the same time, a videotape hidden among the organs and crawling with maggots appeared. Rody's expression did not change much during the whole process.

Leave the bathroom quickly and close the door to prevent the smell from escaping as much as possible.

After all, Roddy was still very interested in the so-called content of the videotape, and didn't want to be affected by smell or other factors while watching the content.

After wiping off the dirt on the surface of the videotape with a tissue.

【00: 25】

The tape starts playing.
Luo Di also started watching the movie, sitting on the soft single sofa, only one meter away from the TV.

The TV screen, which was covered with snow, went black, and then the name of the website [4hs] appeared, and the picture was displayed.

The picture corresponds to the "Holey Apartment" where Rody is currently located. From the picture, the recorder is standing at the other end of the street.

Then, the picture began to move.

The person filming begins walking down the street toward the front door of the apartment.

There are no edits, it's more like a first-person video... or even live action.

Open the door of the apartment.
The hall area was filled with garbage and excrement, exactly the same as the scene Rody had seen downstairs before, even the brightness of the moonlight was almost the same.

Tick~tick~tick.

The sound of heavy leather shoes walking up the stairs.

Although the sound was clearly coming from the TV, Rody had a feeling he heard overlapping sounds, as if he heard someone walking up the stairs of the apartment.

The TV screen showed the process of going up the stairs without any stops, all the way to the top [seventh floor], which was also the floor where Rody was.

The scene turns to the channel.

You can see the vase at the end and the portraits hanging on the wall. These are the places Rody had looked for when he was searching for the key before.

ta~ta~ta~
The heavy leather shoes continued to make crisp sounds on the wooden floor in the aisle.

The TV picture is completely synchronized with the outside of the door.

When he stepped on a not-so-sturdy wooden board... Crunch! The unusually loud sound made Rody tilt his head again and look towards the door. The sound came from outside the door.

But he still turned his gaze back to the TV. After all, the post had relevant regulations that closing eyes or shifting gaze could not exceed 5 seconds.

The house number [710] is shown on the videotape.

A large hand wearing a black leather glove appeared for the first time and gripped the door handle.

click!
When the door lock sounded from the TV,
Rody also heard someone turning the door lock in reality, and out of the corner of his eye he could vaguely see the door handle turning slightly.

Because it was locked,
The door cannot be opened directly inside the house.

The TV screen immediately tilted towards the red carpet on the side. As the picture dropped, a large black hand lifted the carpet and took out the key inside.

Luo Di looked at his palm in surprise. He had clearly taken the key away in advance, so why was there the same key in the video?

In the video room, the mysterious man who found the key returned to the door again.

Click~ As he inserted the key into the keyhole, Rody also heard a sound coming from the side. The door lock in reality began to turn at the same time as the door lock in the video screen.

see,

Rody's face also darkened and he was ready to kill.

click!
The door lock in the video was opened, and a black hand suddenly pushed the door open.

Rody also looked towards the door at the same time.

however,
In reality, the door lock was not unlocked, and the door was not pushed open. I could only see the door lock turning slightly, but it did not open.

Only then did Luo Di finally confirm that the video and reality were not synchronized.

The key in reality has been taken away by him, and people outside cannot enter.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned his head again and looked at the video screen on TV.

The door opened, and a brown-haired young man was curled up next to the sofa, looking at the door and the photographer in panic.

Rody could tell at a glance that the brown-haired young man in the picture corresponded to the corpse hanging in the bathroom.

Next comes the killing scene.
This is also Luo Di’s favorite plot.

It's just that the killing shown in the pictures is more real, because it really happened. Roddy witnessed the whole process of the previous replyer being hung, killed, the videotapes being sewn together, and the scene being cleaned up.

It's all over.

Rody did not show any fear, but he could no longer suppress his fear and the corners of his mouth turned up.

"It's actually... the same type."
