"You're clever. Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

"Take me out of this building."

"Alright."

The property manager is more accommodating than I expected.

A piercing phone ring broke the silence.

The property manager, cloaked in black, answered the phone and left after a brief response.

I turned on all the lights in the room to drive away the darkness and fear in my heart.

Perhaps knowing that it's safe with the property manager around, I sat on the sofa and gradually felt drowsy.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, a woman's wailing cry sent shivers down my spine.

"Wuwu, darling, give me the child first. I've never betrayed you. I've only been with you, and this is our child."

"You wretched woman! The owner of Apartment 101 said this child looks exactly like the security guard living in our building. No wonder you insisted on buying a house in the Happy Community. This must be his offspring."

"How dare you accuse me of infidelity! Watch me beat you two to death today."

"Darling, the child is only one month old. You can't tell who he looks like at all. The owner of Apartment 101 is a compulsive liar, deliberately trying to sow discord."

"How do you know what kind of person he is? Are you having an affair with him too, you wretched woman? I'll kill you..."

Are Apartment 103's owner and his wife having a conversation?

No, they are already dead.

I picked up the baseball bat in the corner of the living room and walked towards the source of the noise.

Soon, I stopped in front of the master bedroom door and listened carefully. The sound was coming from here.

Taking a deep breath, I slowly pushed down the doorknob.

The door opened, and the sudden darkness, accompanied by the cries of a ghostly infant, nearly made me scream.

Feeling my way to the switch by the door, I turned it on and finally saw everything in the room.
