Li Yin suddenly opened his eyes.
His heart was aching like a fire at this moment.
Are... coming again
This time, is it my turn
Li Yin sat up with support, and turned on the lamp by the bed. At this moment, the severe pain in the heart finally recovered a little.
He got out of bed, put on his slippers, and then walked out of the bedroom to the living room outside and turned on the light.
He saw that thing.
On the snow-white wall of the living room, at this moment, a line of words made up of blood suddenly appeared! If ordinary people saw this extremely weird scene at midnight, they would be scared out of their wits.
But Li Yin didn't respond.
"It's my turn again..."
He looked at the line carefully.
"From June 7th to July 7th, 2010, I went to Youshui Village on the outskirts of City X and lived there for a full month."
After Li Yin read this strange line of blood, it suddenly became blurred. The blood seemed to be absorbed by the wall, and gradually...disappeared.
Youshui Village…
Li Yin remembered the name.
I wanted to go back to sleep, but it was impossible to fall asleep. He simply turned on the light in the living room, made a cup of tea, and drank it. He has no habit of smoking, so he can only drink tea. Although coffee may be more effective, Li Yin always feels that when he sips the aroma of tea, his mood is easy to calm down.
Seeing his own face reflected in the tea, Li Yin clenched his teacup tightly.
It has been... almost a year since I moved into this apartment.
Although a year does not seem to be a long time, Li Yin felt that it seemed like countless years had passed.
On the second day, when the sun was rising, Li Yin, who was lying in front of the dining table in the living room, woke up.
He only wore a thin pajamas and covered him with a blanket, and after sleeping like this, he didn't know if he would catch a cold.
The teacups in front of the table and the rest of the tea had completely cooled down.
He looked at the wall clock in the living room, it was... six o'clock in the morning.
Li Yin rubbed his eyes, went to wash up immediately, dressed neatly, then made himself a breakfast, fried an egg, put the egg in the sliced bread bought yesterday, put a little salad dressing on it, even It's breakfast today.
Li Yin is actually very proficient in cooking, mainly because he lived alone for a long time, so he had to learn cooking skills. After a long time, he actually cooks well.
Biting the homemade sandwich in his mouth, and then taking out the milk from the microwave, Li Yin opened the calendar and calculated the next month, which is June.
He is an online novelist, and he is also very famous on the Internet. He has signed a contract with a novel website, so he only needs to concentrate on typing at home on weekdays and collect manuscript fees.
"It's not a big problem." He bit the sandwich in his mouth and said, "June just needs to bring a laptop and update the novel on time. Hmm... I just don't know what will happen then."
Then, he put down the calendar, chewed the bread and fried egg in his mouth, and clenched his fists.
Definitely live... come back here alive!
When he was finished dressing, he walked out of the door, which was not locked at all.
He lives in Room 404 on the fourth floor. A rather inauspicious room number, but it was not Li Yin's choice.
Go to the first floor of the apartment. There are no residents on the first floor, but it is a huge auditorium similar to a hotel. There are sofas, tables and chairs everywhere in the auditorium for people to rest.
And on one of the sofas, there were three people sitting.
When the three people saw Li Yin walking towards them, they all stood up one after another.
They are a tall young man in a suit wearing glasses, a handsome young man wearing a hat, and a very cute and pretty girl in a green dress.
"You...you have that line of blood on your walls, right?" Li Yin asked after pondering for a moment.
All three nodded in unison.
They are also residents of this apartment.
"So that's the case, then at least there are four companions this time." Li Yin heaved a sigh of relief and sat down together.
The expressions of the four people were very dignified.
"Li Yin..." the pretty girl in green said with a worried expression on her face: "Really... are you okay? This time, we are actually asked to stay for a month? And it's still in a suburban village far away from the city?"
"Yeah," said the young man in a suit wearing glasses, "I've checked the map. The suburbs of City X are backed by mountains. It's very desolate and remote. Even the Hope Project has nothing to do with it. It's a completely backward mountainous area. The village."
"There are more rural areas in China." Li Yin was very calm: "There are definitely not a few poor and backward villages that are completely out of touch with the city. Don't think too much, anyway, it's not the first time."
"But... I'm still very..." The young man in the suit with glasses wanted to say something more, but the young man in the hat stopped him.
The atmosphere fell into silence again.
After a long time, no one appeared again. It is estimated that the four of them were the only ones with blood on the walls of the house this time.
"It's almost seven o'clock." Li Yin looked at his watch and said, "You three go to work first, I will continue to wait here, and if there are new members, I will call you again."
Li Yin's calmness and wisdom have always made them feel at ease, so the three of them also got up one after another and left the apartment.
Just now, Li Yin has used his mobile phone to surf the Internet, but he has never found out about Youshui Village. But since I said it was in the suburbs of City X, I would always find it.
If you can't find it with these clues alone, the line of blood will indicate a more precise address.
And on June 7th, they had to enter Youshui Village. And before July 7th, you must never leave there.
Absolutely not...
Time flew by, and soon, it was June 6th.
At the moment, it is 2:30 in the afternoon.
On the steep mountain road, Li Yin walked forward step by step with the three of them.
This mountain is called Heiwu Mountain, and Youshui Village, after repeated investigations, was confirmed to be on the west side of this mountain. The mountain is dangerous, and the transportation to the outside world is very inconvenient. The village is almost isolated from the outside world. They live a self-sufficient life without even water and electricity. This can be said to be quite poor.
The young man in a suit wearing glasses is named Qin Shoutian. He is a tabloid reporter. Because he often runs news outside, he is not too tired. But the other two, Luo Hengyan, the boy in the hat, and Ye Kexin, the pretty girl in the green dress, are ordinary white-collar workers who sit in the office on weekdays. After walking several kilometers of mountain roads, their shoes are worn out, and they all feel extremely tired. . However, no one dared to rest. It is necessary to arrive at Youshui Village as soon as possible before dark.
Li Yin, who was holding a compass and a map in his hands, didn't look too tired.
"Li... Li Yin," Luo Hengyan asked out of breath, "How long will it take to arrive, I, my leg is about to break..."
"If you want to stop, just stop." Li Yin looked at the compass and said without looking back, "As long as you are not afraid of death, I don't mind leaving you."
"How...how could it be!" Luo Hengyan knew Li Yin's personality very well, no... Actually, everyone is like this.
People who live in that apartment will eventually become indifferent to the lives of others. Luo Hengyan lived in that apartment for only half a year.
After passing another hill, Li Yin lifted his spirits, looked towards the foot of the hill, and said, "Look quickly! We're here!"
It really was a big village. Although it looks dilapidated, the houses are not as shabby as imagined. At a glance, there are hundreds of buildings on the spacious land, including two-story buildings, with a row of trees between the buildings. Paving rice fields, you can also see many people working hard.
Once here, it's not a big problem.
Next, the four of them rushed down the mountain excitedly.
If you enter Youshui Village... then it is equivalent to completing the instruction in that bloody letter.
No one can disobey the instructions written in blood.
Walking to the foot of the mountain, Li Yin suddenly noticed a beautiful peasant girl passing by carrying two buckets of water, so he stopped her immediately.
"This girl..." Li Yin stepped forward and asked, "This... is Youshui Village, right?"
The peasant girl looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with big eyes, very charming.
"Yes, that's right. You..." The peasant girl looked at Li Yin, and asked puzzledly, "Excuse me... are you..."
"We are traveling from City K. We walked a long mountain road and wanted to rest in the village."
The girl immediately said excitedly: "It's so rare that someone from the city will come. My name is Axiu. Come with me. I'll take you to Uncle Wang's restaurant. The plain noodles at Uncle Wang's are really delicious. Oh, and it's all made of well water."
Well water... Does this village really have no running water
Moreover, when I looked at it just now, I did not find any telephone poles. It seems that this village is really backward.
The peasant girl named Axiu was also very enthusiastic, so Li Yin and the others followed her.
At this time, Li Yin's gaze, inadvertently, shifted to a bucket carried behind Axiu. The water in that bucket looks very clear, I don't know if it is well water or stream water.
But... Li Yin's body was shocked like an electric shock at this moment!
At the bottom of the bucket, suddenly, an extremely pale woman's face with no pupils appeared!
This face appeared so abruptly that people couldn't react at all!
Li Yin took several steps back in an instant, his heart beating wildly. Then he walked over to look at the bucket...it was still just a bucket of ordinary clear water, nothing unusual about it.
However, Li Yin was very clear that what he saw just now was definitely not dazzled.
"A... Miss Axiu..." Li Yin forcibly restrained the fear in his heart, and said, "I, we don't bother you anymore. You are quite busy carrying buckets."
Immediately without waiting for Axiu's response, he quickly turned his head, strode towards the three companions, and gave them a look.
The three immediately understood, followed Li Yin and left Axiu. Axiu stayed where she was in a daze, not understanding what offended them.
Walking in the village, their fresh faces attracted the attention of many people. Everyone in the village looked at them suspiciously. This Heiwu Mountain is not a place of interest, so how could there be tourists
Ye Kexin asked Li Yin in a low voice: "Li...Mr. Li Yin, just now...you have seen, 'that thing'?"
Li Yin remained silent, just nodded in answer.
Although I knew earlier that entering Youshui Village, it is absolutely impossible to spend a month without incident, but I didn't expect that when I just stepped into this village, it was still in broad daylight...
Li Yin looked at the sky above his head, only feeling that the sun was gradually being covered by clouds.
This time... the four of them, how many of them can survive until July 7th and return to that apartment in K City
It's been a year... Li Yin has experienced this kind of thing many times.
Several times, he nearly died.
Almost died at the hands of "those things".
No one knows where "those things" come from and why they appear, but they are everywhere, and can kill you anywhere and at any time.
And in this world, the only place where you can avoid "those things" is in that apartment in K City. Only there they can absolutely guarantee safety.
This is the rule that cannot be violated after becoming a resident of that apartment.
