The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 62 Ghost Tower
After a while, the sound of pots and pans colliding came from inside.

At this time, someone was living in an empty room in the same building where a murder had already occurred without saying hello. Qi Fei pulled Zhong Kui to protect him behind him, pulled out a gun and knocked on the door.

Suddenly it became quiet inside.

"If Old Yu were here, he could unlock it." Chang Hui said behind them.

"What do you need a locksmith for?" Qi Fei kicked the door without saying a word. The door of the old apartment was not strong and opened immediately. Accompanied by a strong smell of hot pot, a ragged man inside raised his hands in panic. He looked to be in his early twenties, dirty all over, and behaved a little strangely, glancing to the side from time to time.

Unfortunately, this person is not any of the residents of Guiyue Apartment.

"This is not your home, right?" Qi Fei stared at the homeless man in front of him and approached him step by step.

Most people would panic when facing a police officer with a gun, but this person didn't. Instead, he was strangely excited.

This increased Qi Fei's suspicion.

Wu Shanqiu, however, reminded him from behind: "Brother Fei, you'd better ask him to turn off that camera, otherwise you're going to get famous."

Only then did Qi Fei notice that there was a small camera behind the man. The red light on the lens was on, indicating that it was still recording video.

"I'm just a videographer, don't misunderstand me!" the man explained hurriedly.

"Turn it off!" Qi Fei shouted, scaring the other person so much that he trembled and hurriedly turned off the camera behind him.

"Where are you from?" Qi Fei stepped forward and searched him. After making sure there was no danger, he put away his gun and looked at the man again. "You are trespassing!"

The man quickly apologized: "I was wrong, I was wrong! I just came here to take a look out of curiosity..."

"It looks like you are a homeless person?" Qi Fei asked again.

"I'm not a homeless person!" The man was very dissatisfied with Qi Fei's name and argued, "Look at these devices, I am a UP host, okay!"

Zhong Kui didn't understand and asked, "Huh? What master?"

Qi Fei knew she didn't have a cell phone, so he explained to her, "He's the one who uploaded the content online."

Zhong Kui looked at the man's business and said, "Oh, you upload the video?"

"Yes." The other party replied.

Wu Shanqiu suddenly remembered what the man said. She moved closer to take a closer look at his face. "Ah! Wait, I've seen your video before, the guy who did the mystery exploration. What was his account name?"

"Stupid dog loves to eat shit..." The man's voice became lower and lower, perhaps he felt too ashamed.

Wu Shanqiu suddenly remembered: "Yes, yes, yes, you are that stupid dog."

Zhong Kui couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this.

Silly Dog was flattered to see Zhong Kui smile, and looked at her infatuatedly: "This aloof sister actually likes a name like mine?"

Qi Fei suddenly stood between "Silly Dog" and Zhong Kui, and asked the man seriously, "What are you doing here?" "I heard someone died in this building again, and there's a lot of discussion online... This is traffic I can't miss out on."

"Silly dog..." Qi Fei felt something was wrong the moment he called out, so he cleared his throat and asked, "What's your real name?"

"Shagou." said the other party.

"Be serious! I'm not kidding you!" Qi Fei shouted.

"Really, my last name is Sha, which means meticulous. Because of this name, I was often ridiculed when I was in school..." Sha Gou muttered.

"Freeloading on traffic?" Zhong Kui obviously encountered a word she was not familiar with.

"Did this sister travel through time?" Sha Gou looked at Zhong Kui's retro outfit and the fact that she seemed to have no idea about internet slang, and his curiosity was aroused again.

"Time travel?" Zhong Kui said angrily. It seemed like this was another word he didn't understand.

"He thinks you came from ancient times." Qi Fei helped translate.

Hearing this, Zhong Kui gave Sha Gou a charming smile: "How do you know I'm thousands of years old?"

Sha Gou actually believed it a little: "Oh my god, can you let me take a video? Will this explode immediately?"

Qi Fei impatiently pulled him and said, "What are you thinking? She just doesn't use her phone. Can't you tell the difference between her truth and lies? Stand still, or I'll sue you for interfering with the investigation!"

"Okay, okay, okay..." Sha Gou responded hesitantly.

"How did you get into this room?" Qi Fei looked at the equipment placed on the floor of the living room, including a casserole hot pot and a tripod camera.

Sha Gou blinked, scratched his head and said, "Huh? There was a key in the door when I came? We all know that this house has been empty for a long time. I saw the key, so I opened it out of curiosity. It turned out that the whole atmosphere was perfect for my channel, and I shot a lot of material..." Then he pulled Wu Shanqiu to prove it, "You should know from watching my videos that eating hot pot in such a gloomy and scary place is my specialty..."

"You all know that this house has been empty for a long time? Who are you?" Qi Fei felt something was wrong when he heard this.

Sha Gou became excited. "This Guiyue Apartment is a famous haunted house on the internet. It all started when this apartment building was built over forty years ago. It was a rainy evening when a brick truck drove up to the construction site of Guiyue Apartment and reversed to unload. Unexpectedly, the truck driver mistook the accelerator for the brake and crashed into the wall of the neighboring school. A sixteen-year-old girl happened to be passing by after school and was buried under the wall and died. Since then, this apartment building has been in trouble. The people who live there are always unlucky and have many accidents!"

"Ah, everyone is discussing it online. After the death of the person on the fourth floor, it further confirmed our speculation." Sha Gou acted as if everyone in the world knew it.

"Hmm? What are you discussing?" Qi Fei asked.

Sha Gou looked at Qi Fei with eyes that clearly thought he was too old-fashioned, and he seemed very helpless: "Don't you know that there's a video called "Haunted Building" that's been going viral online recently? It says that there's an apartment building in a certain city where the frequency of deaths over the past ten years is significantly higher than normal, and the causes of death for each person are very bizarre. Although the UP host didn't mention the name of the apartment building, the omniscient netizens still analyzed from his story that this building is most likely the Guiyue Apartment in Nancheng. Look, is the old lady on the second floor also dead? What a coincidence that I'm from Nancheng, so I have to come and take a photo of it. It will definitely go viral!"

"There is such a video?" Qi Fei felt that he was completely in the dark.

"Of course, it's normal that you don't know. After all, judging from your looks, you don't hang out in our circle." Sha Gou said this with some pride.

"It seems that the residents here don't hang out in your circle." Zhong Kui walked to Sha Gou's side seductively, "Can you show us that video?"

"Of course, of course. I'd even give you my life!" Sha Gou took out his cell phone and played the video.
