Chapter 36 Corpse Odor
Liu Haoyu arrived at the stairwell.
The floor number “2” on the wall had long since lost its paint and faded, and the wall plaster was even more severely peeling.
There was no light in the dim stairwell.
Qin Liu looked at the ground and said softly.
“This floor doesn’t seem to be renovated, the ground is so dirty… Why don’t they renovate this floor? Is it because they are out of money? Or is there some other reason.”
Liu Haoyu didn’t notice Qin Liu’s quiet muttering.
He climbed up the stairs step by step.
There were no lights or windows in the stairwell.
So it was quite dark here.
Fortunately, Liu Haoyu was a ghost exorcist and was more accustomed to facing darkness.
He didn’t panic, calmly took out a flashlight from his pocket, ready to illuminate the road ahead.
But the moment the light turned on, he suddenly saw a dark shadow quickly walk past in the dark corridor.
Who’s there?
Qin Liu was startled, she clung tightly to Liu Haoyu’s side, her small hands also gripping Liu Haoyu’s clothes tightly.
And due to the fear that seeped into her heart, she couldn’t help but press her body against Liu Haoyu’s.
Liu Haoyu felt the soft touch from his skin, and was a little surprised.
It was rare for Qin Liu to cling to him.
Her courage was indeed small enough.
Liu Haoyu pointed the flashlight in the direction he had just seen.
As expected, the figure flashed by again, very fast, and without any footsteps.
“If you’re scared, go back into Hong Yu.”
“Okay… Okay.”
Qin Liu was really not holding up anymore. After this little ghost clung to Liu Haoyu, she returned to Hong Yu again.
And as Liu Haoyu was about to go upstairs to search, he heard footsteps behind him.
Is it the landlord coming up?
Liu Haoyu quickly turned off his flashlight and hid in the dark.
The footsteps grew closer and closer, and soon passed Liu Haoyu, but at this moment, the man hiding in the dark discovered…
There were only footsteps, but no one.
Then the footsteps began to gradually recede, and only after they disappeared did Liu Haoyu emerge from the shadows.
He turned on the flashlight again.
The corridor was still so dark, and the light illuminated a circular area, as if the footsteps just now were an auditory hallucination.
Seeing this strange situation, Liu Haoyu did not hesitate and began to walk upstairs.
Liu Haoyu’s movements were light, and with the fire axe in his hand, he looked like a murderer sneaking and ready to strike at any moment.
Walking up the stairs to the third floor, Liu Haoyu saw that the walls on the third floor were completely unfurnished, only gray-white cement, and the ground was covered with various construction waste, looking like a construction site that was never completed.
This place, compared to the second floor, really didn’t look like it could be lived in.
Even though nothing was renovated, Liu Haoyu still saw that every room on the third floor had a door installed.
When he was at the stairwell just now, Liu Haoyu had indeed seen a figure flash by, and coupled with the sound of footsteps without anyone there.
Could it be… a ghost?
And after going up to the third floor, Liu Haoyu smelled an indescribable peculiar odor floating in the air.
It was like a mixture of many smells, making it impossible to determine what kind of smell it was.
To prevent poisoning, Liu Haoyu put on a gas mask.
The light from the flashlight could vaguely illuminate the corridor on the third floor.
For some reason, Liu Haoyu always felt that the marks on these cement walls looked like scratch marks made by human hands, which was very shocking.
Even Liu Haoyu, walking through it, couldn’t help but feel chills down his spine, with no sense of security.
If it were Qin Liu, maybe the entire ghost would be clinging to his head like a koala?
Liu Haoyu thought of that scene and couldn’t help but find it a bit funny.
Avoiding the debris on the ground, Liu Haoyu entered the room closest to him.
As soon as he entered, Liu Haoyu felt a more humid atmosphere.
The roof of this room seemed to be leaking rain, the windows were boarded up with old wooden planks, and the damp, cold, and eerie feeling was very uncomfortable.
Liu Haoyu surveyed the room. It was empty, with nothing in it.
But he smelled a very strong smell of corpse…
Even through the gas mask, it couldn’t block the foul odor from rushing into his nose.
Moreover, he could feel a chill quietly crawling up his spine.
It was as if something was watching him.
Liu Haoyu retreated from the room and prepared to check the next room.
The smell of corpse was present throughout the third floor, and it was not easy to find the source of the smell.
Soon, Liu Haoyu arrived at the second room.
This room was completely different from the previous one.
Inside were some dilapidated furniture and a bed, but this bed was very small.
The cotton wadding of the quilt on the bed was leaking out.
In the room, Liu Haoyu saw some women’s items and a few worn-out dolls.
Like the previous room, this room was still very damp, and even the windows were not sealed properly. The walls, soaked by the rain, were covered with black moss.
And the smell of corpse in the room was even more pungent, as if it would suffocate people to death.
Liu Haoyu frowned and walked towards the source of the stench.
He found that the smell came from under the bed.
After moving the bed, Liu Haoyu found something different.
The cement floor under the bed was completely different from the surrounding cement floor. The cement under the bed looked very new, forming a distinct color difference with the outside cement floor.
And the smell of corpse was coming from below.
And at this moment, the feeling of being stared at became more pronounced, and Liu Haoyu vaguely felt that something was constantly peeking at him.
Then, the light from Liu Haoyu’s flashlight went out.
The room fell into darkness, but Liu Haoyu could see a young girl being forcibly pushed into a box by a man, with stacks of money placed on the table.
The outside world was blowing harsh suona music, as if a funeral was being held for someone.
After the man pushed the girl into the box, he heard shouts from outside and hurriedly left the room.
When he returned again…
Because there was no ventilation, the girl in the box had already lost her life.
Liu Haoyu’s vision returned to reality.
And at this moment, he could feel that the gaze that had been staring at him had appeared behind him.
He slowly turned around, and sure enough.
It was the girl, Xu Wanrong, who had been suffocated in the box!
At this moment, she was staring at Liu Haoyu with extremely resentful eyes.
And Liu Haoyu’s gaze was also fixed on her leg.
Don’t say it, but you really have to say it.
Her legs are so white.
