That was when I was in my third year of junior high school.
Since the school is far away from home, and my family is interested in training my independence ability, they helped me rent a one-bedroom house near the school, on the 5th floor, so that I can live alone.
As soon as I moved in, I found that in the same building, the rent of several other units was more expensive than the rent of this unit, and the house in this unit was almost unrented. I thought it was strange, but what was even stranger was that when I asked the landlord, his face immediately turned pale, as if something strange had happened here. He didn't answer my question directly, but just repeatedly emphasized to me: "No matter what sound there is in the stairwell at night, as long as you don't look outside, you can live here with peace of mind." His words made me scratch my head and feel a little frightened.
The first few days I moved in, everything seemed normal. I was so tired from studying during the day that I fell asleep before 9 o'clock almost every night.
But one Friday, it was a bit hot that night, and I was driving the night train to do my homework.
Drip ......"I was really startled by the sudden hourly time signal, and the screen of the electronic watch showed that it was 2:00 a.m. My stomach was also a little hungry, so I grabbed my keys and wallet and prepared to go downstairs for some supper. When I put on my shoes and was about to open the door, I suddenly thought of what the owner had said to me. This made me feel a little scared of this stairwell. I hesitated and wandered around the foyer for a long time, but finally decided to go downstairs, after all, I didn't hear anything from the stairwell, and I was so hungry.
I pushed open the door and cautiously went downstairs, because the surroundings were quiet, even though I walked very lightly, but every time my feet touched the ground, there was a huge reverberation. By the time I nervously walked out of the stairwell, I had goosebumps. However, nothing happened to frighten me, and I began to suspect what the owner was saying to me, thinking that he might be deliberately making fun of me and making me afraid of good jokes.
After supper, I walked to the entrance of the stairwell again. This time, I walked up the stairs without any fear, as in the daytime. However, when I got home and got into the bed to get ready for bed, I heard the sound of someone running in the stairwell. I wonder if anyone is running in the stairwell at 2:30I didn't care, turned off the lights and closed my eyes. Even though the running was getting louder, I was so tired that I fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took for me to be woken up by the sound of running. Look at the clock, 4 o'clock. I was very angry, thinking to myself, why is this person so lacking in morality, why does he have to climb the building for so long in the middle of the night, who is this?
I got up, but I didn't turn on the light because I wanted to go to the door and suddenly open the door as he passed by my house and scare him.
I stood in the doorway, my eyes peering through the cat's eye on the man's every move outside. My ears were not idle for a moment, listening to his footsteps and calculating how far away he was from me.
Gradually, the footsteps shortened the distance between me, and my hand was on the doorknob. A few seconds later, I saw a man running up from downstairs at a rapid pace. I was about to open the door, but he stopped as he ran to my door, his head turning to my cat's eye as if he knew someone was staring at him. At this time, I saw a bloodless, expressionless face, and the facial features on the face were very stiff, as if someone had drawn them, which made people feel very unnatural, especially the eyes he looked at, the eyeballs were fixed, as if they would not turn at all. I gasped. It didn't take long for him to run again. As he was leaving, I took a look at what he was wearing, which was from the sixties and seventies we had here, and he was carrying a bag.
I didn't sleep for the rest of the day, I felt a little scary, but I didn't know what was going on, whether it was a living person or something else, and after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to go to the communication room the next day to investigate the matter and see what was going on.
After school, I went straight to the reception room of the house where I lived, and when I asked, the people inside said that they hadn't been working here two years ago, so I didn't know. As soon as I walked out of the communication room disappointed, I felt a hand grab my shoulder. I turned around and saw an uncle, who was sitting in the communication room, chatting with Shou Messenger. He lives in the same unit as me and is one of the few residents who live in this unit. He said to me very seriously, "Little friend, didn't the owner warn you not to look out the door?"Don't ask, you won't want to know. I'm also serious about it;"Now that you've spoken, why don't you tell me the whole thing?He thought for a moment, and then said, "Since you say so, I'll tell you, though I know you'll move out at once." Two years ago this unit was full of people and it was lively. However, since the suicide of a young man, people here have always heard the sound of running in the stairwell at night, and some people are a little more daring, and through the cat's eyes, they find that it is the young man. Think about it, who would live in a haunted place?So, everyone moved away, we just don't have the ability to change houses, otherwise, we would have left a long time ago. ”
Why did that young man commit suicide?I asked curiously. The uncle sighed and said, "That year, that young man exercised and went for a run every day because his fiancée looked down on him as a weak scholar. But his fiancée left him anyway, and he jumped from the top floor in frustration. ”
I was covered in a cold sweat after hearing this, and I felt that I couldn't stay here any longer, so I immediately contacted my family and moved home on the same day that I didn't want to return the rent.
What I couldn't laugh at was that I received a request from a classmate who lived in another unit: You just came here for a few days, and I was here to tell you, isn't it rumored that there is a supernatural event in your unit?It's about someone running in the stairwell, and your landlord lied to you, and he has a nephew who comes out in the middle of the night to post advertisements and runs in the hallway every day. There is also an old man, who is the uncle of the owner, did he also tell you that story? They did it on purpose, so that they cheated everyone out and they could get the rent money for nothing. ”
I was stunned after listening to the **, my rent money ......More than 2,000 yuan, it seems that these rumors can't be believed.
