Chapter 448 448. Lanqing Building (3)
The nine people finished eating and planned to go directly to the fifth floor.
But when I entered the elevator, I found that the fifth floor was always gray no matter how hard I pressed it.
They clicked on the sixth to twelfth floors again, and without exception, they were all gray.
"It should be out of service from the fifth to the twelfth floor." Lin Xi said. “No wonder it’s so crowded from the first to the third floor.”
The third floor not only sells food, but also some small appliances. In addition to clothing, there are also cosmetics and more on the second floor.
“But, okay, why disable it?” Huang Jingjing said, grinning. "Our task is not to find out the reason for the depression of this building and let it return to normal!"
"The reason is easy to explain. If you ask around, it should be about the same." He Min said. "The key is to solve the problem and return to normal. It seems to be more troublesome."
A few people came out of the elevator while talking.
“Let’s ask the merchants separately first.” Lin Xi said. "Then we will meet at the gate on the first floor, and then go outside to inquire. If my guess is correct, I probably won't be able to find out anything from the merchant."
"Try it!" Guo Yuelang said. "If the merchants refuse to say anything, it means there is a real problem."
——Hahahahahahaha I suddenly want to laugh, what's going on?
——You didn’t want to laugh, you couldn’t help but laughed.
——And laughed loudly.
——I want to too hahahahahaha.
——The game really looks up to the players and lets them do anything.
——Not only do you have to work, but you also have taboos.
——There are already dungeons without taboos, won’t this dungeon also be gone?
——Have you ever seen a time when staying in a hotel was not taboo?
——Which hotel have you seen that has no taboos?
——I'll go, I almost forgot.
——I would have forgotten even if I didn’t mention it.
——But 133 and they did not forget that the handsome boy Xinxin left, and 123 and Teacher Huang did not close the door.
——The handsome boy Xinxin came back and didn’t knock on the door.
——Other players were waiting in the corridor and did not knock on the door.
——As expected, the players are better than us.
——As expected, I couldn’t survive the trial period after entering the dungeon.
As expected by Lin Xi, she asked four merchants, but no one answered her question, and the expressions on the merchants' faces were a little strange.
I can’t tell whether it’s because I resist or don’t want to say it, or I just don’t dare to say it. There were also people who wanted to speak but still didn't say anything.
Lin Xi sat next to a girl who was eating and took the time to ask. The girl looked around and lowered her voice.
"I heard that the building was built less than a year ago, and five people have already jumped from the bathroom on the fifth floor." The girl said softly. "Many businesses have moved away, and those that have not moved are crowded below the fifth floor."
"So that's it." Lin Xi looked like he finally understood. "I just said, why does a shopping mall look like a high-end store from the outside, but inside it looks like a grocery store, and there are not many customers."
"I heard from many people that the people who jumped off the building were all customers who came to shop, so There are fewer and fewer people coming here,” the girl said. "But the things here are really cheap, so people will still come."
——It turns out it's not haunted.
——It must be haunted, otherwise why would businesses have small mirrors?
——Why are you jumping off the building for no reason?
——Encountering something difficult, or suffering from depression.
——There’s no need to go to other people’s shopping malls. Isn’t that a scam?
——It’s just that no one has seen ghosts, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there are no ghosts.
——It makes sense. Those people might have nothing to do, just come to hang out and then die.
"Did they all jump off the building during the day?" Lin Xi asked.
“I’m not sure, it should be.” The girl said.
Lin Xi nodded and thanked him. He did not stay on the third floor and took the elevator directly to the first floor.
Guo Yuelang and the others are already waiting at the gate.
Lin Xi didn’t waste any time. She told everyone what she found out and walked out together.
"It's almost what I heard..."
Before Huang Jingjing finished speaking, she heard a "bang". Lin Xi quickly looked back and saw people inside the building running out one after another.
People near the building also ran over here.
The nine people looked at each other and hurried back.
"It's her!" Lin Xi said softly.
“Know?” Li Chun asked.
"I just asked her about it on the third floor." Lin Xi said. "Who knew that she would be dead in such a short time."
After Lin Xi finished speaking, she looked up.
All the windows from the second to fourth floors were closed, except for a set of windows on the fifth floor that were open and looked dark.
"It seems that he jumped from the bathroom on the fifth floor again." Someone in the crowd said softly.
“Isn’t everything above the fifth floor sealed? Neither the elevator nor the walking ladder can be used.” Someone else said.
“I don’t know, I haven’t been in for a long time.”
“I did go shopping, but who dares to look at the stairs! Maybe it’s not sealed!”< br>
“It’s terrible. When this building was built, I heard that many workers died.”
"Yes, eight died." someone said. "At that time, there were rumors that this place should not build a shopping mall, but should be a square and a fountain."
"I heard that eight more people need to die, and this is already the sixth one."
"Who would dare to come here in this situation!"
"Everything in the mall diagonally opposite is expensive, but the business is very good." Someone said. "The people who built this mall will probably cry to death and pay to death."
"Aren't all the shops sold? The compensation is for the merchants who bought the shops!"
"Some are for sale, and some are for rent."
"In short, it's better to go in less often, it's too scary."
——It's good, 123 they don't have to inquire.
——This NPC is still very awesome.
——But it is also very scary. He will jump off the building for no reason.
——It’s either for no reason, or it’s very evil, okay!
——Those merchants might as well move away, why bother doing business here.
——It is estimated that some of them were bought and cannot be sold. Some are just trying to get cheaper rent.
——The main thing is that it is not the merchants who die, but the customers!
——Did the merchants ward off evil spirits because they had small mirrors?
——I don’t know. I don’t know clearly.
Lin Xi and the others looked at each other and withdrew from the crowd.
“Shall we go to the shopping mall diagonally opposite?” Datang asked.
"Three people went to that mall, three people went to the other shops on the opposite street to inquire, and three people stayed here on this street to inquire." Guo Yuelang said.
Since Lin Xi, Huang Jingjing and Guo Yuelang had mobile phones, the three of them separated.
Lin Xi is in a group with Yu Shuangshuang and Lichun.
Huang Jingjing was paired with He Min and Xiaoshuai.
Guo Yuelang was in a group with the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.
“We can contact you by mobile phone at any time.” Lin Xi said.
"Okay." Huang Jingjing said. "You should be extra careful on the streets here."
"We are all outside Lanqing Building, it's okay." Lin Xi smiled. "If those places nearby were also dangerous, there wouldn't be so many people coming and going."
But now, those people are all watching the girl jumping off the building.
People really care about things that have nothing to do with themselves, and like to join in any fun.
