Chapter 104 - The non-existent third floor

I didn't recover from my shock until a white calf flashed past my eyes, but as the woman climbed the last step, the room grew dark, the stairs disappeared, and the two Japanese soldiers disappeared without a trace.

"I... Was I dreaming just now? "

Hearing that, she turned her head, only to see Shen Qing standing behind her, with her hands covering her mouth, her round eyes filled with fear, obviously having seen what happened just now.

I walked quickly into the house, to the iron shelf in the corner, and looked up.

"I think I know why she fell off the shelf."

"Why?" Shen Qing's voice trembled.

"They should have seen what we saw just now. I don't know why, but Qian Tao's soul was attracted, so the female overseer might have wanted to pull him back."

I pointed to the top, where the stairs had appeared. Now the stairs were gone, and the upper and lower exits were gone as well.

"Then what should we do now?" Shen Qing asked.

I looked up again. "To the roof."

"Top of the building?"

"Don't ask me why, I can't explain."

Reaching the staircase, I subconsciously looked up. As I went downstairs, I said to Shen Qing: "This old building is very strange, it might be more than just a 'good friend', you better go back and be with Zhao Qi and the rest."

"No, I can't let you take the risk alone. I may not be able to help much, but for two people, we can at least look after each other. "

I nodded and said nothing more.

After the two of them went around the building, they saw a row of steel inlays on the back wall that led directly to the maintenance staircase on the rooftop.

"This building is definitely old enough." I murmured.

However, no matter how old the building was, it couldn't be a pre-nation-building. How could there be Japanese ghost soldiers?

And that woman. It was the woman in the qipao again …

I hesitated for a moment, then took out the package of ash from the pot and wiped it on my forehead. Then, I took out the cow's tears and passed them to Shen Qing, so that she could drip them into her eyes.

The two of them climbed up the maintenance ladder one after the other. Although the rain was not heavy, they both felt a chill in the air.

As we were about to reach the roof, I warned Shen Qing in a low voice: No matter what I saw later, I would try my best not to say anything.

When he reached the roof, all he saw was emptiness.

"Could there be a mistake?" Shen Qing asked softly.

"There isn't much time left, I can only give it a try." I gave her the bottom of the pot for more makeup.

Qian Tao's soul being brought to the 'third floor' was originally only his guess, but after coming up, the strange feeling he had earlier became even clearer.

I felt that the other world was close at hand. All I had to do was find the entrance.

The first steps we heard were in the west, where we saw the cheongsam girl and the Japanese ghost soldier in the East Head room. The two of them went upstairs with very different footsteps, which meant that there were stairs on both sides of the stairs.

I hesitated, then decided to start from the east.

Firstly, Qian Tao met with mishap in the east side, and furthermore, the female ghost was more attractive than the Japanese devils.

The two of them carried their flashlight and walked towards the east. After walking a few steps, Shen Qing suddenly exclaimed.

I turned my head and followed her gaze. My heart skipped a beat.

There was actually a palm-sized small tombstone on the ground!

There was no name on the monolith, but a talisman was engraved upon it, giving it an extremely demonic appearance.

Shen Qing wanted to take the tombstone to check it out, but I stopped her immediately.

"This was most likely set up by someone. If it was to move recklessly, Qian Tao's soul might not be able to come back."

"Manmade?"

"Yes." I nodded, feeling increasingly uneasy.

If Old Lou had been having problems all along, then nothing would have happened today. Someone cheating would have made sense.

After walking not too far, I found another small tombstone. I was even more certain that someone was doing it.

However, these small tombstone seemed to have been here for a very long time. Just when was the person who set them up, and what was their goal …

Arriving at the east side, he saw another small tombstone indeed, and the location of the tombstone should be above the iron shelves on the second floor.

I held Shen Qing's hand and slowly walked to the tombstone. The strange feeling from before became stronger.

I even reached out and made a gesture to open the door.

This is just a subconscious action, but I didn't expect that when I was doing this, a door actually appeared!

The door was pushed open and Shen Qing and I nearly covered our mouths and opened our eyes at the same time.

What appeared before us was no longer darkness, no longer the rooftop, but a lighted room!

Shen Qing and I looked at each other, made a gesture to keep quiet, and then slowly walked in.

Before he could take a good look at the room, another door on the opposite side was pushed open.

Hearing the footsteps, I instinctively pulled Shen Qing to hide behind a clothes rack. Seeing her dark face, they finally reacted. The two of them had both smeared the ash on the bottom of the pot, so the ghost shouldn't be able to see us.

I was just about to peek at who it was when I saw Shen Qing's eyes widen as she pointed downwards behind me.

My heart quivered and I slowly turned my head around. I lowered my eyes and was shocked to find that there was a person squatting in the corner behind me!

Seeing this person, I couldn't help but be stunned.

This was a woman, or more accurately, a female ghost.

The cheongsam women and the Japanese soldiers we saw earlier didn't fit this era, but the female ghost in the corner was wearing the clothes of a modern man.

The female ghost was terrified, but also a little numb. It was as if it had been curled up in the corner for a long time.

When I was sure she couldn't see us, I forced myself to look through the gap in my clothes.

Suddenly, the clothes in front of me were taken off by a hand stained with red nail polish.

I didn't even have time to dodge. I directly met the owner of that hand!

Looking at the person in front of me, I was stunned.

From the way she was dressed, she was the qipao woman we had met on the second floor.

Her face was not particularly beautiful, but it had an indescribable charm to it. Different from Di Jinlian's classical charm, it was a type of … It was tainted with the decadent taste of the wind and dust.

The woman looked at the clothes in her hands and seemed unsatisfied. She hung them up again, then picked up a black velvet cheongsam and walked to the side.

Through the gap, he saw her take off her wine-red cheongsam. As she put on her black velvet cheongsam, she even said something.

It was supposed to be a dialect from somewhere I couldn't understand, but I knew it wasn't a good word, it was a curse.

The woman changed her clothes and walked out of the room, feeling a little tired as she stretched her neck.

I heaved a sigh of relief and turned around, only to see Shen Qing looking at me with a weird expression.

I spread my hands out towards her. I also didn't expect that this would be a changing room. The female ghost took the initiative to take off her clothes.

But then again, what the hell was this place, and why was there a locker room?

I took another look at the female ghost curled up in the corner, and resisted the urge to ask her any further, signalling Shen Qing to go find Qian Tao's soul outside.

When I reached the door where the woman had gone out, I held my breath and listened. Gritting my teeth, I reached for the door and opened it a crack.

Glancing out, I sucked in a breath of cold air.

Outside was a large hall with a stage. This door was in the corner of the stage. The woman just now was currently singing on the stage. Facing right at the audience, there were more than a dozen Japanese military officers from the Second World War sitting there!

Shen Qing obviously saw it too, and slanted her eyes at me from the corner.

Following her gaze, I couldn't help but be taken aback. Behind those Japanese military officers, there was a figure standing in the corner with his head lowered and a blank expression on his face. Looking at its body, it was actually Qian Tao!

'What do we do now? ' Shen Qing asked me with his eyes.

I turned around and glanced at the clothes rack as I whispered into her ear, "Stay here, I'll go out and collect Qian Tao's soul and then we'll go back the way we came."

Shen Qing nodded, "You be careful."

I touched the paper man in my pocket, took it out from my bag and held it in my hand. Gently opening the door a crack, I tiptoed out.

The scene in front of me caused my involuntary heartbeat to accelerate, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat. He could only walk along the wall with his head down, thinking, "You can't see me, you can't see me …"

Fortunately, the grey shroud at the bottom of the wok is indeed effective. The Japanese military officers only looked at the stage lewdly, not noticing that I was an uninvited guest at all.

The voice of the woman on stage was very melodious, but what she was singing was a Japanese song.

I was no longer in the mood to think, I just walked to the corner where Qian Tao was. As I got closer, I took out paper man s from my pocket.

Just as he was about to throw it over, a nearby door opened.

A man came in from outside and met my eyes!
