Chapter 642: Strange Sounds at Midnight
Chapter 642: Strange Sounds at Midnight
"Dong dong dong."
"Hey, I'm downstairs. What are you guys banging on every night? It disturbs my sleep, don't you know?"
Chao Zhixiang knocked on the door loudly while speaking, hoping that the other party would come out and give an explanation.
But after knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door.
"How could there be no one?"
Chao Zhixiang clearly heard the knocking sound in her own house downstairs just now. Someone must be knocking something at this time.
With a creak, the door behind her opened.
"Who are you looking for, little girl?"
An old woman came out and asked Chao Zhixiang.
"Grandma, I'm downstairs. They're knocking on things every day. I came to talk to them."
After hearing what Chao Zhixiang said, the mother-in-law looked surprised and said, "But no one has lived next door."
"unoccupied?"
Chao Zhixiang simply didn't believe it. She could hear knocking sounds every day, so how could there be no one living upstairs?
My mother-in-law said that there used to be people living next door, but they moved out two years ago and it has been empty ever since.
He knocked on Zhixiang again and put his ear close to it to listen for a while, but there was still no sound, so he had no choice but to go home.
Miraculously, there was no sound that night.
However, at 10 o'clock the next night, the soul-stirring knocking sound appeared on time.
"What's the matter!"
Chao Zhixiang completely collapsed. She couldn't sleep well every night these days and had no energy to work during the day.
She endured it all night, and during the day she ran upstairs again.
She wondered if the sound came through the insulation.
The owner of this household, a middle-aged woman, said categorically that it was impossible.
She said that the building has very good sound insulation and it is impossible to hear any sound from two floors away. This was the reason she bought the house.
Seeing that she didn't believe it, the woman asked Chao Zhixiang to go home immediately. She knocked on something at home and asked Chao Zhixiang to see if she could hear it.
When Zhixiang returned home, the middle-aged woman banged the floor with a chair several times, but she really didn't hear anything.
"Really? How could this happen?"
Chao Zhixiang was a little overwhelmed. She thought that the people upstairs were causing trouble, but it turned out that they knew nothing at all.
Chao Zhixiang suddenly felt dazed and even suspected that she was crazy and had hallucinations.
It was 10 o'clock in the evening again, and the knocking sound rang out on time again.
But she couldn't move out again because she didn't have the money to rent another house.
As Chao Zhixiang recounted these events, she couldn't help but cry.
Chen Yile quickly comforted her, "It's okay, Xiangxiang, I will definitely help you solve it."
He set off immediately and arrived at Chao Zhixiang's house twenty minutes later.
"Brother Yile, you are really here."
"Of course, everyone knows that I, Chen Yile, am a fan and I will always help you when you are in trouble."
Chao Zhixiang seemed a little nervous and poured a glass of water for Chen Yile at a loss.
"Xiangxiang, can you take me to your bedroom?"
Chen Yile wanted to see the place where Chao Zhixiang heard the sound every night.
He nodded to Zhixiang and took Chen Yile to his bedroom.
This is a standard girl's room. There are many pink dolls and photos of celebrities on the bedside.
"Brother Yile, this is it."
Chao Zhixiang pointed at the ceiling above the bed.
Chen Yile took a look and asked, "Xiangxiang, besides the knocking sound, did you hear anything else?"
Chao Zhixiang shook his head: "There was only the knocking sound, nothing else."
"Okay, it's okay."
Chen Yile walked around the bedroom and didn't find anything wrong.
"Let's go upstairs and take a look."
Chen Yile brought Chao Zhixiang upstairs and knocked on the door.
As usual, no one was driving.
If you want to get to the bottom of this matter, you have to go in.
Chen Yile used his connections in the psychic detective organization to contact the property management of the residential complex.
"I have to say, with this connection to the Spirit Detective Organization, things are much easier."
Chen Yile sighed.
Within ten minutes, a property staff member came to Chen Yile.
"Mr. Chen, Ms. Chao, do you suspect someone has entered the empty room upstairs? I'll open the door for you."
"Can your property management just open the door?"
"Yes, houses without owners will be handed over to the property management for unified management."
As he spoke, the property staff opened the door, and a foul smell that had lingered in the air for a long time filled the air.
There was no one living in the house, and it was covered with thick dust.
"Mr. Chen, look, no one has lived here for two years."
The property staff said as they turned on the lights.
Chen Yile and Chao Zhixiang followed him in.
The furniture in the house is still in the same state as when the previous family moved out, and there doesn't seem to be any signs of it being moved.
Chen Yile walked around the living room and every room and found nothing wrong.
He even scanned the room with his spiritual eyes and found no evil spirits in the room.
"It looks like there's nothing wrong here."
Chen Yile thanked the property staff and returned to her home with Chao Zhixiang.
"Xiangxiang, we checked upstairs and didn't find anything wrong. Maybe we should wait until it rings again at night to check again."
She nodded to Zhixiang. She hadn't slept well for several days, and her eyes were as dark as a panda's.
Chen Yile comforted Chao Zhixiang, saying that he was there for everything and she didn't need to worry anymore.
Chen Yile asked Chao Zhixiang to go to the living room to watch TV first, while he went into the bedroom and checked the ceiling again.
But still nothing was found.
All we can do is wait.
Chao Zhixiang watched TV for a long time and before she knew it, it was 9:55.
When she looked at the time, she hurried to the bedroom and saw Chen Yile sitting on a chair, waiting attentively.
She was a little embarrassed.
"Brother Yile, I feel really bad for you for working so hard for me."
"Don't mind it, I've always been like this to my fans."
Chen Yile nodded and continued looking at the ceiling waiting.
The time finally came to 10 o'clock.
The two held their breath, waiting for the voice to appear.
Finally, the sound appeared again.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The sound is slow and steady, and each sound strikes the heart.
It's now!
Chen Yile immediately rushed out the door and went upstairs.
He cast an impact spell and slammed the door open.
Chen Yile strode into the room and came to the position corresponding to the ceiling of Chao Zhixiang's bedroom.
But to his surprise, there was nothing here, only the curtains dancing in the night wind.
"Am I wrong?"
Chen Yile thought he could catch the culprit of the strange incident, but he didn't expect that the culprit was not there at all.
But suddenly, an unexpected thought flashed through Chen Yile's mind.
If it's not on top, then...
At this moment, Chao Zhixiang downstairs suddenly realized that she might have heard it wrong for so many days.
The "dong dong" sound didn't seem to come from the ceiling, but...
under the bed.
