NOVEL NEXT Chapter 82 Late-night Sorrow
Hongling picked up a piece of beef, put it in her mouth, and ate it with relish.
The two middle-aged men sitting next to her were talking loudly.
"Old Wu, are you okay recently? I heard that there are strange noises in your building every night." A middle-aged man with glasses and a thin face said.
The man called Old Wu was fat and had a beer belly.
"Oh, Old Zhang, don't mention it. I'm staying at someone else's house now. I can't go home." Old Wu sighed.
"I just came back from a business trip today, and I don't know what's going on." Old Zhang said after taking a sip of soup.
"You'll know in the evening. Your home is not far from Building 13." Old Wu smiled bitterly.
"Is it really that scary?" Old Zhang licked his lips and asked.
"It's like a woman crying. Hearing it in the middle of the night makes people feel cold!" Old Wu shuddered, as if he heard that sound again.
"I hope the cause can be found out soon." Lao Zhang picked up the tissue on the table and wiped his mouth, and continued, "When I came back today, I saw a car from the mental hospital parked at the entrance of the community."
"There are many more mental patients in the community recently, and cars from the mental hospital drive here every day." Lao Wu said.
"It can't be related to the wailing in the middle of the night!" Lao Zhang said in surprise.
"Who knows." Lao Wu said and stood up.
The two of them left the noodle shop one after the other.
Li Qingzhou and Hongling ate noodles silently, listening to the conversation between the two middle-aged men.
Until the two left, Hongling said: "It seems that things are not that simple."
Li Qingzhou also had a strange premonition that this matter revealed something weird.
"Are your usual tasks so weird?" Li Qingzhou asked.
"Not really, there are all kinds of tasks, some are simple, and they can be solved by killing a few dream worms, and some are complicated. There are a lot of unexplained cases in the archives. Once they are related to the abyss, anything can happen." Hongling replied.
"We are human, not gods. It is impossible to find out everything. We can only do our best to eliminate the abyss's corruption of the world as much as possible." Hongling's face suddenly showed a trace of sadness, which was very inconsistent with her bright and sunny face.
The work of the Abyss Processing Center is all related to the abyss, and anything related to the abyss is full of dangers. People are constantly dying in the mission.
"Okay, the meal is over, go back to work." Hongling put down her chopsticks, the haze on her face was swept away, and she became full of energy and passion again.
In the following time, the two sat on the stone bench in the community, waiting for time to pass.
Only at night, when it was late at night, did the sound appear.
The sky was like a white paper stained with ink, quickly stained black.
The lights in each building were turned on, and the dim street lights in the community were also lit up, and moths flew around the street lights.
The building numbered 13 was dead silent, without any lights.
After discovering the strange howling, the people from the Public Security Bureau moved all the residents of the building out, set up a cordon around it, and assigned special personnel to guard it to prevent others from approaching.
The night gradually deepened, the moonlight was like water, and the night wind was gentle.
"Woo woo... wow wow... ah ah..."
The shrill and wailing sound suddenly sounded, breaking the quiet night.
Hongling and Li Qingzhou immediately stood up, went into the stairs, and quietly moved towards the 13th floor.
It was 10 o'clock in the evening, and the corridor was pitch black.
The two did not dare to turn on the lights, so they could only carefully follow the stairs and go up in the dark.
The closer they got to the 13th floor, the shriller and louder the sound.
In this shrill wailing, a wave of sadness unconsciously emerged in the hearts of the two, and pictures flashed in their memories.
Rainy night, bus, white snake, man....
These pictures suddenly appeared in Li Qingzhou's mind, and a huge sadness enveloped him.
His steps slowed down involuntarily.
His body also felt heavy and without strength.
Hongling also looked listless, and she had lost her former vitality.
Suddenly, two points of light appeared in the darkness, a pair of clear and dust-free eyes.
Li Qingzhou felt his body lighten, and the images in his head were instantly erased. His spirit was refreshed, and the waves in his heart subsided, as calm as a mirror.
This is Ping An's skill, Qingxin, which can calm a person's mind, see through illusions, and resist external mental interference.
Before going upstairs, Li Qingzhou and Hongling had summoned their pets.
There was a butterfly standing on Hongling's shoulder.

Hongling's spirit also fluctuated, and the fragments in her mind slowly disappeared, and the sad emotions passed away like flowing water, and the whole person regained vitality.
"This sound will affect people's spirits!" Li Qingzhou reminded carefully.
"Hu" Hongling exhaled a foul breath, she glanced at the three-tailed fox beside Li Qingzhou, nodded and said: "Be careful."
The corridor was dark and blurry, and nothing could be seen clearly.
The closer you get to room 1301, the louder the mournful sound becomes, as if something is singing in the room.
But the singing sound is not pleasant.
Li Qingzhou leaned against the wall carefully and turned his head to look into the room.
With the help of the moonlight outside the window, you can vaguely see the outline of things inside.
The room is just like during the day, with some furniture placed in it, and nothing else.
You can only hear the sound, but you can't see any living creatures.
"Pop"
There is only a slight sound.
The dim light instantly fills the entire room, illuminating every corner of the room.
It was Hongling who turned on the power of the room light.
The mournful sound stopped abruptly, just like the speaker playing music was suddenly unplugged.
The room was empty, exactly the same as the daytime situation.
Hongling looked around in confusion, but did not find anything unusual. The pointer of the abyss breath tester in her hand was stable and motionless.
Li Qingzhou also carefully observed the surroundings, his eyes swept over the things in the room bit by bit, but just like during the day, he found nothing.
That strange sound disappeared, disappeared for no reason!
The sound had no source, as if it was formed naturally in the air.
Li Qingzhou looked at the dim light bulb, which was an old-fashioned tungsten filament bulb. The light was not strong, and even if he looked directly at it, his eyes did not feel any discomfort.
Li Qingzhou seemed to remember something and turned to walk towards the door.
