My ghost wives all want to kill me?

It took more than ten minutes before I received a piece of information from my colleague on the other side.

"Chengmei Community."

Wang Xinlan, who accepted the information with authority, frowned instinctively when she saw the four big words at the top of the document.

Li Gui had said that he wanted to find a building that was extremely remote, and residential buildings are usually surrounded by several residential buildings. Even if there is free space, it has nothing to do with the word remote.

"Is it a bad project from a few years ago?"

However, after Wang Xinlan read the entire introduction about Chengmei Community, her brows originally knitted together but slowly relaxed.

In fact, strictly speaking, Chengmei Community was not completed. When the community developer bought the land, it planned to build four residential buildings.

But it was half-finished and lacked funds, so they first let the workers complete Building No. [-], and then sold it with a prior announcement, intending to use the newly injected funds to build the other three buildings.

However, only a dozen units of housing in Building [-] were sold before a murder occurred.

An empty-nest old woman accidentally fell down when she was going downstairs, causing the spinous process of her neck to break. There were not many residents at that time, so the old woman's weak cry for help was not heard, and the body was not found until the next day. Discover.

Originally, this kind of thing was an accident at most. If the developer dealt with it a little, didn't leak too much news, and lowered the selling price of the property, the house could still be sold, and there wouldn't be any big surprises.

But not long after, another murder occurred in the building. This case was the wife's murder and dismemberment case that caused a stir in Jiulin. Although the murderer was quickly arrested and brought to justice under the police's investigation.

However, such major criminal cases are no longer something that real estate developers can handle. The end result is that even the case of the accidental death of an old woman was uncovered.

Suddenly, rumors spread, and even the dozen or so households that had already paid deposits and moved in began to clamor for their money back, and the rest of the properties in the No. [-] residential building became even more unsold.

The project's capital chain was cut off, and Chengmei Community ended up being an unfinished project that remains abandoned until now.

"This location meets Li Gui's requirements, but is it too dangerous?"

There was no record of the rumors circulating at that time in the files. Wang Xinlan took out her mobile phone and searched for it herself.

The biggest theory is that there is a mass grave beneath Chengmei Community. The community is not a school, and the Yang Qi is not strong enough to suppress it, which is why frequent strange things happen inside.

Many people even said that when they passed by this community, they saw figures walking around inside.

If Wang Xinlan had seen this news a few months ago, she would have scoffed and disbelieved it.

But since she followed Li Gui and experienced the Yicai apartment and villa incident, she was not sure whether these rumors were true or false. She could only send the information to Li Gui and let him make up his mind.

A few minutes later, news came from Li Gui, saying that there was no problem, but they had to wait for him to come back first, and the two of them met up and rushed there together.

After sending an emoticon of nodding obediently, Wang Xinlan put down her phone and stared blankly at the computer screen, not knowing what she was thinking.

Slowly he moved his eyes to the open suitcase.

"How about taking a shower and changing clothes."

Two hours later, Wang Xinlan, who had dressed up carefully, was waiting downstairs of a residential building. A taxi slowly parked on the roadside.

Then Li Gui walked down carrying a big bag and bulging pockets.

"Actually, you can wait at home first. I will call you when I arrive."

Under the dim street lights, the taxi slowly left, and a tall figure carrying a bag walked towards him with the backlight.

Wang Xinlan didn't know why, but her heartbeat suddenly accelerated unconsciously.

"It's okay, let's come out and take a breath."

She shyly looked away, but immediately calmed down. Wang Xinlan looked at Li Gui beside her and asked uncertainly: "Shall we start now?"

Chapter 4 Ninety New Rituals

"Wait a moment and let me tell you what you have to prepare for tonight."

Neither of them noticed that the conversation was a bit strange. Li Gui knelt down, opened his backpack, and handed over a shabby white stuffed doll.

Wang Xinlan took it curiously and looked puzzled at Li Gui who stood up again with his backpack on his back.

"Do you remember the ritual I told you before?"

Nodding, Wang Xinlan said eloquently: "I have prepared the items at home, and they are all arranged according to the requirements you said last time."

Although several months had passed since the last time Li Gui told her about the ceremony, Wang Xinlan always remembered the other party's words.

"The last ceremony didn't work. The situation was a bit special. We need to use a different method tonight."

Li Gui shook his head and took out another piece of black cloth from his pocket.

"Another one?"

"You should know the basic situation of the abandoned residential building I asked you to find, right?"

Taking the black cloth, Wang Xinlan nodded.

This was also a point of confusion for her, because according to the arrangements Li Gui told her last time, the so-called soul-calling ceremony did not require a fixed place at all. She thought Li Gui was busy with other things first.

"Changing the method means changing the ritual. Do you need other props?"

The sudden change made Wang Xinlan a little worried, but in order not to disturb Li Gui, she did not ask the reason.

千!"!寻,,;"免;!费,".:小:;说".'?裙:2,;5';'?5;5;';9!5;:3;,';0?!,0　　“不用，我全准备好了，根据我网上差的资料来看，你给我发的那栋大楼一共有23层，待会我会陪你走到第11层。”

Li Gui's expression was serious, which made Wang Xinlan understand that this soul-calling ceremony might not be as simple as she thought.

"You need to walk through the remaining 13 floors by yourself."

"The thirteenth floor?"

Li Gui nodded. It was not that he made a mistake in addition and subtraction within two digits, but he said so specifically.

"Starting from the No. 11 floor, you have to blindfold yourself, stay in the darkness, and blend in with them. Every time you pass a floor, you have to stop and shout three times at the entrance of the stairs to the corridor. What do you want to see? People’s names.”

"But remember, no matter who answers you, ignore it. After calling three times, then walk forward. Don't look back during this period. Don't take off the black cloth and open your eyes. Go all the way to the top floor."

"If the ritual is successful at this time, the non-existent 24th floor will appear. I don't know exactly how many rooms there are on this 24th floor. You just need to follow the wall on one side of the stairs and feel your way deeper."

"Every time you pass a door, stop and knock four times. If the person who opens the door makes a sound that is not the person you want to see, continue walking deeper and don't answer them until you hear the person you want to see. Human voices.”

"Finish everything, take off the black cloth, call me and I will come find you."

After Li Gui finished speaking, Wang Xinlan's face had quietly turned pale. She could feel the danger of this ritual even without Li Guiming having to say it.

Even just listening to the process made her hair stand on end.

Only then did Wang Xinlan realize that her sense of security in the face of the unknown was all given by Li Gui. Not only could Li Gui not be with her this time, she had to cover her eyes, lose her vision, and grope in the darkness.

"If you still want to continue, I will tell you all the possible accidents so that you can be mentally prepared. If you are worried about safety, you can wait. Maybe I can find other safer methods below."

Li Gui could understand Wang Xinlan's feelings. Faced with such a weird soul-calling ritual, no matter who it was, he would be frightened, even him.

Because the crux of the problem is that he has to enter the non-existent 24th floor alone as an ordinary person who is deprived of sight. This means that if it is him, if he wants to complete this ritual, he must put down his notebook and take off the bracelet.

The note given to him by Granny Lin did not explain the reason, but only said that he should not be accompanied by overly powerful ghosts. Li Gui guessed that it might be because of overly powerful beings, such as Hongyi.

They will make some ordinary ghosts feel scared and dare not approach. At this time, even if you are blindfolded, you will not be able to sneak into these weak ghosts and enter the non-existent floor.

Maybe the only one who won't be alerted is Xiaobai.

"It's okay, just tonight."

Wang Xinlan's lips were chapped. After more than ten seconds, she still nodded unwilling to give up.

"To be honest, this is my first time trying this ritual. I can't guarantee your safety. Do you want to continue?"

Not feeling very reassured, Li Gui reminded Wang Xinlan.

"Ah."

But the girl didn't hesitate too much.

Li Gui did not dissuade him. He understood that many times, regret is a wound that keeps bleeding in a person's heart. Most wounds will not heal even at the last moment of life.

If there is any hope of recovery at this time, these injured people will try their best, because that is a far more painful feeling than losing their lives.

"I understand, and I will do my best to keep you safe."

Li Gui took out his cell phone and looked at the time.

"The puppet given to you is like a warning device. If a particularly terrifying existence appears and this existence intends to attack you, it will give you a warning."

"If this happens, don't worry about anything, just take off the black cloth and run away. The puppet will guide you in the right direction."

After nodding and explaining some other things, the two took a taxi and rushed towards Chengmei Community.

Wang Xinlan was a little nervous along the way. Li Gui did not disturb her. She could only rely on herself at this time.

Too much comfort from others would make her even more uneasy.

When the taxi driver saw that the young couple seemed to be quarreling, he didn't dare to disturb them. He drove honestly and silently turned off the radio station.

In the silence along the way, time passed until 22.37 at night. Li Gui and Wang Xinlan paid to get off the car and arrived at the gate of Chengmei Community.

The taxi driver felt a little weird as they arrived at the abandoned community without saying a word. When they got out of the car, the yellow taxi immediately turned around and drove away.

"This area is really desolate."

Li Gui took out his flashlight and looked around.

The gate of Chengmei Community is on the inside of a narrow alley. Most of the shops on both sides are closed, and the transfer contact information is posted on the rolling shutter door.

The entrance to the community is an electronic retractable gate, and there is a pedestrian gate next to it, but it has long been damaged. It seems that someone else has entered.

There is a security room on the right side behind the door, which has also been pried open. Judging from the layout of the entire door, the developer of Chengmei Community at that time should have positioned Chengmei Community as a mid-to-high-end community building, but now it is only dark and deserted.

Chapter 491 Let’s go, I’ll follow you

Li Gui stood at the door. Under the moonlight in the distance, he could vaguely see the blurry outlines of four towering buildings. The surroundings were dark and looked very desolate.

"Phew, I'm ready, let's go."

Wang Xinlan took a deep breath, Li Gui glanced at her and walked in front.

"To be honest, you are quite trusting of me. A beautiful woman followed me to such an uninhabited place and you are not afraid of me lying to you."

"I believe you and won't do this."

Understanding that Li Gui wanted to chat so that he would not be nervous, Wang Xinlan silently recorded this kindness in her heart.

"This is not necessarily true. Sometimes we know people but not their hearts. In fact, compared to people, I think ghosts are simpler."

"Ghosts are more innocent?"

Looking up, Wang Xinlan had a strange expression on her face after hearing this, and even the tension in her heart weakened a lot.

But Li Gui didn't seem to be joking, and instead explained it seriously.

"Actually, to put it simply, ghosts are transformed from some strong emotions after death. This emotion may be hatred, regret, unwillingness, or love. No matter which one it is, their purpose is It’s all very simple, not too much thought.”

"As long as you understand their obsessions, you will find that compared to the ever-changing and complex people, they who are never willing to leave this world are really simple."

When Li Gui said this, he seemed to be deeply moved. Wang Xinlan was a little curious about this man's story.

But she understood that now was not the time for the two of them to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"So sometimes don't be afraid of ghosts. Maybe they need help more than you think."

As they entered the community, Li Gui, who was leading the way with a flashlight, slowly stopped.

The two came to the only fully built unit building in the entire community. Although the entire building looked a bit dilapidated due to its dereliction, some details could vaguely reveal the perfect layout at that time.

The electronic security door in front of me has been damaged, revealing a dark area inside. There are green belts planted on both sides of the door, but because they have been left unattended for many years, they have basically withered.

Li Gui stood at the door and looked up. There was no end to the 23-story building at a glance. When the flashlight passed by, he could only see the balconies of each room and the floor-to-ceiling windows behind the balconies.

"I'll help you get used to it first."

The time requirement for the ceremony is 23.30 midnight, and there are still more than 40 minutes left.

"okay."

Li Gui drew out the ghost-killing knife, opened the safety door and walked in with Wang Xinlan.

The stairwell of the unit building is not big. There is an elevator in the middle. The corridor is to the left of the elevator. There is also a bulletin board nailed to the wall to the right of the door. Li Gui took a second look and most of them were property management companies that had water and electricity outages. Announcements, not many.

"We don't have enough time, so you should cover yourself with a black cloth and try to walk up from the first floor."

Walking to the innermost corridor, Li Gui took a flashlight and looked carefully, but couldn't see anything unusual.

Wang Xinlan was silent and covered her eyes with a black cloth. Li Gui ignored that the scenes he usually came into contact with were completely different from the scenes that Wang Xinlan came into contact with.

The corridor, which he thought was nothing unusual, now looked very scary to Wang Xinlan.
