Chapter 375 The Shadow Behind the Window
[Scene 1: You are a resident of Qingwangyuan Community who collects recyclables. Because of the cat-faced girl incident, the community is in a state of panic, and many residents have already moved out. When you return to the community that day, you feel that the atmosphere is strange.]
When Lin Jue arrived in Xinzhou, it was already nine o'clock the next morning. The fog didn't slowly dissipate until six o'clock. During that time, he got out of the car at midnight and wandered around the tunnel, but he didn't see any trace of the Flesh and Blood Room.
It seems that the group of cultists came from elsewhere, and they were there to work with the driver to commit murder and robbery in this tunnel.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir!" As he got off the bus, Lin Jue waved to a group of elderly men and women and left as if he were fleeing.
After learning that he was from the Inspection Department, the group of elderly men and women became exceptionally enthusiastic. They not only invited him to their homes for dinner but also acted as matchmakers, introducing him to the daughters of their extended families.
Compared to dealing with the strange creatures, Lin Jue found it much harder to handle this group of enthusiastic older folks.
After leaving the station, Lin Jue hailed a taxi and headed straight for Qingwangyuan.
"Young man, are you from out of town?" The taxi driver observed Lin Jue through the rearview mirror. Before Lin Jue could answer, he said to himself, "That neighborhood isn't safe. I heard two people died a few days ago."
Taxi drivers are all well-informed in the city, so it's not surprising that they would know about what happened at Qingwangyuan.
Lin Jue casually replied, "Yeah, I'm staying with my relatives for a couple of days."
He pretended not to know and then asked, "Master, what did you mean by someone dying?"
"It's all their own fault. I heard that those two are usually bullies in the neighborhood. They act like tyrants because they have some connections. This time, it must be that the people they bullied in the past have turned into ghosts and come to take revenge. Otherwise, why would they kill only those two and not anyone else?"
The taxi driver kept complaining as he drove. While the veracity of the information in his words is questionable, it at least provides a general direction for reference.
A dozen minutes later, the car stopped outside the Qingwangyuan residential area, and Lin Jue paid the fare and got out of the car.
He changed his expression in a corner where no one was watching; he was filthy and looked no different from a homeless person on the street.
"The system information says that this character lives on the ground floor of Building 3, has his own family waste recycling station, and usually makes a living by reselling waste."
Lin Jue took out the house key issued by the system from his backpack and arrived at the entrance of the community.
Qingwangyuan is a residential community built more than ten years ago. There is a row of low-rise walk-up buildings on the outside and three elevator buildings inside. The security of the entire community is practically non-existent, and the bulletin board at the main entrance is covered with advertisements for houses for sale.
These advertising flyers are still very new, and they look like they were just put up recently. After the cat-faced girl incident, the residents of the whole community were in a panic and were in a hurry to sell their houses. An 80-square-meter apartment was sold for 40 yuan, which can be described as a rock-bottom price.
"Now that this character's house is mine, can I sell it and make a fortune?"
Lin Jue thought about it and decided against it. Putting aside the fact that no one would come here to buy a house for selling scrap metal, this house was the only thing this character had left in the world. He wasn't so heartless as to sell the dead's belongings to make money.
There were very few people in the community, and even the few people outside were in a hurry. Lin Jue found Building 3, which was a walk-up building located on the edge of the community.
Upon opening the door, a strong and pungent odor hit me. Judging from the door, it was a one-bedroom apartment, but the small living room was crammed with garbage, cardboard and plastic bottles everywhere, as well as some bundled burlap sacks, the contents of which were unknown.
"You said you like experiencing different lives, but you're here to suffer?" He Wen's calm voice rang out from inside the backpack, but it sounded sarcastic no matter how you looked at it.
"I also want to experience what it's like to wake up in an 800-square-meter bed, but my strength doesn't allow it." Lin Jue closed the door and went to the bedroom to take a look.
There was no trash in the bedroom, but there were dirty clothes and moldy takeout boxes everywhere. The single bed near the window was also covered with some strange stains, and cockroaches could be seen crawling on and off.
Lin Jue sighed. Although he didn't really care about the accommodation, and he would even sleep in a bed where someone had died, the environment in front of him was simply outrageously dirty.
Even if you're a scrap collector, you don't need to be this slovenly. Ultimately, it's probably just that the character himself isn't very tidy.
"Never mind, I still need to tidy up, otherwise who knows how many days I'll end up staying here."
As Lin Jue spoke, he pulled the ghosts out of his raincoat. With many ghosts, they were strong and could be dealt with in no time.
"You mean, the B-grade monster that everyone fears will come to help you clean up, right?" He Wen's face darkened. Lin Jue pulled out a small mask from somewhere and put it over her mouth, laughing, "The environment is too dirty. You won't be comfortable staying here. What if you get an allergic reaction and break out in bumps?"
"You three keep it up, I'm going out to buy a new bed sheet."
After Lin Jue finished speaking, he ignored Xiao Ming's ugly expression and ran out of the room. His purpose in going out was not only to buy new bedding, but also to see if he could get any information.
No one knows more or the truth than the residents of the community.
However, perhaps because of his appearance, the few residents in the community who saw him all kept their distance and didn't have a chance to ask him any questions.
"Good grief, I won't be buying scrap from these guys anymore."
Lin Jue took a few more steps, then slowly stopped, his gaze fixed on an apartment building with an elevator in front of him. It was the building from the video in the post, where the cat-faced girl had climbed to the fifth floor and killed a man.
He looked up at the room on the fifth floor. The room was facing the bedroom window, which was half-open with the curtains slightly rolled up.
Lin Jue's eyes narrowed sharply. In the instant the curtains were blown by the wind, he saw a dark shadow flash by behind the window.
Are they that man's family members?
No, not possible!
The man on the fifth floor was just killed by the cat-faced girl; his family could not possibly continue living there.
It's even less likely for other residents; who would have the time to wander around a murder scene?
Except for Lin Jue.
The moment Lin Jue saw the dark figure, he strode towards the building. (End of Chapter)
