After Magnolia's death, it became a new strange story.
A different kind of fear spread in everyone's mind, and soon they found the strange stories about the others, Lu Huaxu, Liu Guo, and Xu Yi.
Three familiar faces appear in the strange story, and the shock it brings cannot be described in words.
Being killed by a ghost is not the scariest thing in this book. The scariest thing is that the dead people will become new ghost stories.
It's like a virus.
They will be left behind forever, becoming unconscious ghosts who only know how to kill.
"Why aren't there Wei Jinting's ghost stories?" Guan Yuaning looked through the ghost stories in his hand, and indeed he didn't find any ghost stories that belonged to him.
Hua Luo frowned. Except for Wei Jinting, there were all the strange stories about dead or missing people here. "Isn't he dead?"
Even he himself didn't believe this when he said it.
After seeing Xu Yi's ghost story, Chu Jiu's eyes immediately turned red, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered. Sister Xu Yi... really died and became a new ghost story.
She suppressed her grief and raised her head, "I also have a strange story here, which should be from Wei Jinting." She said quickly: "It's in the paper bag that the woman brought before."
After receiving the strange story, the flowers immediately opened.
The first impression of this strange story is that it is very depressing, and the brushstrokes used in the painting are relatively rough. Judging from the background, it should be in a small space.
The composition is also rather weird, there are no extraneous objects around it, and there are strips of what looks like borders drawn at the lower part of the painting.
"It's the stairwell." Qiao Yu's brother frowned and suddenly spoke.
This immediately reminded everyone of the ghost who made the video call. The ghost's location at that time was the stairwell.
A quick scroll down confirmed Qiao Yu's brother's guess that this was indeed a stairwell, and in the next few paintings, the stairwell was filled with smoke, as if there was a fire.
Suddenly, several panicked people appeared behind a safety door on the right. For some unknown reason, the safety door could only open a gap the size of two fists, and several people were trapped inside.
It seemed that they saw someone coming. These people banged on the door desperately and opened their mouths wide. You didn't need to guess to know that they were shouting for help.
The perspective of the next picture was cut to outside the security door. The visitor did not sit idly by and finally, after spending a long time, opened the security door.
People inside poured out one after another, scrambling downwards to escape for their lives, but the rescuers seemed to have exhausted their energy, and their speed became slower and slower.
The man running behind started to get impatient, and finally someone gave him a hard push. The man fell forward and fell to the ground, rolling down many steps along the stairs.
Without any obstacles, the people behind him began to run away frantically for their lives. The man kept asking for help, and the others didn't even look at him as they ran past him.
He tried his best and stretched out his hand, hoping to grab the last person's trousers, but was severely stepped on by the last person.
In the last perspective of the picture, the rescuer is alone and submerged in thick smoke.
Only then did everyone see clearly this person's desperate eyes and...her face.
It was not Wei Jinting who they originally thought, but a woman.
It was Zu Mui who received them just now!
Hua Luo's hand holding the manuscript trembled.
After reacting, Guan Yuanning immediately walked out. Although she knew it was too late, she still had several lives to lose and couldn't just give up.
Just when she was about to open the door, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a security-looking person stood outside the door.
"Who are you?" The security guard was obviously shocked, "Who allowed you to come in?"
Hua Luo stepped forward, showed his police officer ID, and explained to him that he was performing a special mission when the other party's eyes were looking along his body.
Guan Yuanning also put on a very professional posture, looked at the security guard indifferently, and said to him: "Why are we here? You don't know."
Hearing this, the security guard's eyes paused, and then he showed a cute expression that said, "I know everything, and I will definitely not cause any trouble to the policeman."
It seems that the security guard is also aware of the strange things happening here.
After realizing that Wan Yuanning was about to go out immediately, Chu Jiu stepped forward and grabbed the corner of her clothes, "Sister." Chu Jiu said, "Let's ask first and let's go together."
Looking around to see if there was no one around, Hua Luo pulled the security guard in and asked him about Li Zumei.
Sure enough, the security guard confirmed that Lai Zumei was dead and that the office belonged to her.
After her death, the room was locked and no one came.
He also saw the door lock unlocked and then opened the door to take a look.
"How did she die?" Qiao Yu's brother asked hurriedly.
Hearing this, an imperceptible emotion flashed through Wan Yuan Ning's eyes. She turned her head and glanced at Qiao Yu's brother, then looked away again.
This security guard may have been deceived. As a police officer who can come here to investigate the case, how could he not know how the deceased died?
But to Hualuo's helplessness and relief, the security guard did not hear the flaw, but acted very positively.
"He was burned to death." The security guard replied: "When I was carrying the body out, I saw it. Under the white cloth, the arms were sticking out like charcoal. It was scary to death."
"Burned to death?" Hua Luo frowned. He remembered that in the painting, there was no combustible material in the stairwell. He originally thought that Li Zumei died of suffocation.
Seeing that there was no one around, the security guard lowered his voice and said, "It's similar to what you investigated. There's something weird about this matter. The body was severely burned at the time, but the clothes on the body were not affected at all. That fire... It seemed like she was the only one who was burned.”
"No, it seemed like it started burning on her body. Later, it was said that the origin of the fire was investigated, but nothing happened in the end."
After finishing speaking, the security guard said awkwardly: "I dare not say this until you are here. If the boss finds out, I will be fired."
"Did anything strange happen to the company later?" Guan Yuan Ning asked quickly.
"Yes, yes." The security guard nodded repeatedly, "But sometimes the fire sprinklers in the stairwell suddenly turn on for no apparent reason. Even after repairing them several times, it has no effect."
"Some employees reported that they could smell a strong burnt smell in the stairwell."
Hua Luo looked at the security guard whose expression changed slightly when he said this, and questioned: "Since you know this, why don't you consider changing your job?"
The way Guan Yuanning and Chu Jiu looked at the security guard also changed. Who knows if this security guard might be the next ghost story.
"But as the company sealed all the stairwells on the left, these incidents disappeared, and nothing else happened to the company afterwards."
"Sealed?" Hua Luo pointed in one direction, as if making final confirmation, "The stairwell on that side?"
"Yes." The security guard nodded.
"No." Qiao Yu's brother said doubtfully, "We came up from that staircase when we came here. We can walk."
