Zhang Feng's figure flickered and disappeared into the stairwell of the apartment building.

Initially, Shen Xing'Er stood in place, her lively eyes continuously surveying her surroundings, appearing quite serious.

But as time passed,

the surroundings were nothing but pitch black.

Shen Xing'Er finally couldn't stand the loneliness anymore.

"Who would come here at this time of night?!"

"Maybe I should go up and check on Brother Zhang Feng?"

Shen Xing'Er really is still just Shen Xing'Er!

But at this moment, Zhang Feng didn't know that Shen Xing'Er had stopped following instructions.

He had already arrived in the dark corner of the stairway on the seventh floor, observing the situation inside the stairwell.

Two beams of flashlight light flickered back and forth in the corridor.

Zhang Feng saw clearly.

Two men dressed in black, holding flashlights, were walking back and forth in the corridor, crossing paths like they were on patrol.

However, these two men's faces showed expressions of helplessness or habitual fatigue.

It was as if their job all these years had been patrolling here, dull and tedious.

Even they didn't understand why they had to patrol here.

However, even these two couldn't stop Zhang Feng's steps, not even noticing his shadow.

So, Zhang Feng didn't plan much, directly forming a seal with one hand, and a hint of blue light appeared in his eyes.

Just as he was about to perform the Qimen Dunjia Technique, suddenly two soft clicks sounded down the corridor:

"Click-clack!"

Upon hearing these two soft sounds, Zhang Feng instantly stopped his actions.

Because the doors of those two rooms had opened.

Two more men dressed in black walked out from inside.

These two seemed to be relieving the previous two men.

After a brief exchange, the flashlights changed hands.

However, this didn't affect Zhang Feng's performance at all.

Except....

One of the newly arrived men surprisingly caught up to the other, asking,

"Bro, what am I supposed to do?"

Upon hearing this, both the other man in black and Zhang Feng were momentarily stunned.

The other man in black looked at the young man and asked,

"You're asking me? Are you new here?"

"Yes!" The young man nodded directly and said,

"Today is my first day on the job! Director Liu didn't tell me what to do, just asked me to learn from you guys..."

Looking at the young man, the man in black seemed a bit impatient and said,

"Just hold the flashlight, patrol that side of the corridor, and I'll cover this side. Just make sure no one gets up here."

"Is that it?" The young man's voice showed a hint of surprise,

"Does this job really pay twenty thousand a month?"

How much?!

Hiding in the distance eavesdropping, Zhang Feng's eyes twisted, and he even gasped.

Wow, I'd want this job too!

The man in black, hearing the young man's surprise, seemed to want to dismiss him impatiently.

But then he thought again.

The man's eyes flashed with a playful gleam.

Since it was rare to have a newcomer, and the night watch job was indeed boring, why not have some fun with the young man?

The man in black's lips curled into a grin, but then his face grew serious, and he said to the young man in an exaggerated tone,

"Little brother, regarding this matter, I really need to tell you something!"

The young man, seeing the elder get serious, immediately listened intently, and the man in black continued,

"At first, I also thought this was a pie falling from the sky, just strolling around twice a day and getting such a high salary, who wouldn't like it!"

"But! There's really no free lunch in the world!"

"Do you know why the apartments here don't sell, and why we're asked to guard here at night?"

The young man immediately sensed something unusual in the air, and with a slightly tense expression, shook his head,

"I...I don't know..."

The man in black spoke convincingly.

Zhang Feng also didn't know what the man in black's reasoning was, feeling as though he was about to reveal some big secret, very possibly related to an event seven years ago.

So, he gradually settled in, listening intently.

The man in black, noticing the young man's nervousness, suppressed a covert smile from his eyes, and then lowered his voice even further, saying,

"Because...inside this building...there's a ghost....."

"What?!" The young man exclaimed in surprise.

But Zhang Feng's expression turned odd immediately.

Alright...

This guy's just here to scare kids!

He really thought he would say something substantial.

The "kid" at this moment also wore a peculiar expression,

"Brother, don't fool me; how can there be ghosts in this world? We have to believe in science!"

"You don't believe it?" The man in black clearly had already thought of a counter, directly retorting,

"Then explain to me why the locked room murder case happened in the room we're watching?!

The young man slightly pouted and said, "Wasn't that case...declared a suicide? It's been closed for a long time, right?"

"Closed?" The man in black chuckled lightly and said,

"If it's been closed, then why are we still guarding here?"

Hearing this question, the young man was left speechless.

A hint of nervousness seemed to appear in his eyes.

The man in black saw the young man's attitude and felt a greater sense of achievement, continuing his pretense, saying,

"That person died in the locked room...actually, it wasn't suicide at all, but murder! The killer was a female ghost!"

"What is that?"

The young man twitched the corners of his eyes as he listened, clearly not convinced,

"Brother, stop fooling me, a female ghost....are you saying we're watching the room to keep an eye on that ghost?"

"How could it be, if there were really ghosts, they would have already run out, the room can't hold them...."

But wouldn't you know it.

At this moment.

With a "pop!" sound, Zhang Feng felt a tightness on his arm, and then Shen Xing'Er's crisp voice came to his ear,

"Brother Zhang Feng, why are you squatting here?"

Zhang Feng turned his head instantly; didn't Shen Xing'Er listen and came up anyway?!

"Shhh—" He quickly gestured for Shen Xing'Er to be quiet!

In such a silent corridor, even the slightest sound could be heard by others!

If Shen Xing'Er was discovered, wouldn't that be troublesome?

Sure enough!

The corridor fell silent.

The young man shut his mouth, even the man in black stopped talking!

Both of them frowned, looking in the direction of Zhang Feng and Shen Xing'Er.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Feng was speechless.

How could Shen Xing'Er be so troublesome?!

But the young man's next sentence made the corner of Zhang Feng's eye twitch slightly.

Only to hear the young man say hoarsely,

"Bro.....bro.....I think.....I heard a woman's voice?"

"No...no way...could it be that female ghost you talked about, has escaped?!!"

Unaware of this storytelling man in black's expression, he seemed stiffened:

"No...no way, did you hear it wrong?"

Hearing their conversation, Zhang Feng's face turned weird.

Then he turned to look at Shen Xing'Er, who was beside him, with an innocent and clueless expression, and a playful smile appeared in his eyes.
