Apartment From Hell

Chapter 136: The Hypothesis of Multiple Paths of Rebirth

Views:

This time, with the exception of Li Yin and Ziye, the other four residents were following the instructions in blood for the first time. But what Li Yin was going to execute was the seventh blood-letter instruction, and Ziye was the fifth blood-letter instruction. The other four naturally knew that the difficulty was by no means the difficulty of the first blood-letter instruction.

However, Shangguanmian and Murong Mian didn't say anything, and even Feng Yuxian didn't respond. Feng Yuxian was also one of the five new resident representatives who came to the meeting last time. He was a 32-year-old uncle-like man. Of course, although he is an uncle, he is also a beautiful uncle, and he looks very handsome after shaving off his beard, but compared with Huangfuhe, he is far behind.

The first thing to do, of course, is to investigate. The ghosts of the scarlet characters this time are probably the two young men and women who died in love back then, Ren Leon and Zeng Weixing. That being the case, it is particularly important to investigate the circumstances of the two before their lives.

However, it is almost impossible to find out where the people who lived in the Moon Shadow Pavilion and the Corona Pavilion at that time are now. Although the incident was quite a sensation at the time, it has been so long, and after the two families moved away, they don't know where they are now. And because the time interval is too long, it is difficult to find out many news in detail. Some journalists' embellished content is not enough to be believed.

On April 14, at Li Yin's home, all households who needed to execute the blood lettering came to the scene to analyze the details.

"The blood characters this time..." Li Yin sent everyone a copy of the news materials he found, and said, "The identity of the ghost can be roughly determined. According to regulations, residents of odd-numbered rooms in the apartment should go to the Moon Shadow Hall. Those who count the numbers go to the Corona Pavilion."

This time, Ziye (Room 403), Shangguanmian (Room 709), and Bai Yu (1501) went to the Moon Shadow Pavilion, and Murong Mirage (1804), Feng Yuxian (402), and Li Yin (404) went to the Corona Pavilion.

Feng Yuxian and Li Yin are neighbors, but this man is also relatively introverted. Although he has met a few times, it's just a few pleasantries. I don't know what he was thinking.

But this time, for the blood characters, the most excited person is naturally Murong Mirage. Shangguanmian was still the same as before, looking very cold and expressionless.

As for the new resident, Bai Yu, he can be considered a resident with a strong psychological quality. Bai Yu was a rather handsome young man, he looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he also calmly listened to Li Yin's analysis.

"The current investigation can't find out the reasons why the two families objected to their love. This point may be an important breakthrough. I am doing my best to investigate. But this time the blood itself..."

To be honest, as a rookie, Bai Yu was relieved to see the contents of the blood. It's just sending the letter, as long as the letter is delivered, isn't it all right

"It's absolutely impossible to be that simple." Ziye suddenly said: "In the bloody letter, it is mentioned that residents are allowed to open or even tamper with letters privately, which shows... there will definitely be situations that require us to open and tamper with letters privately. And, it seems Tampering with the letter, as long as it can be concealed from the ghost, will be fine. However, the point is that the letter written by the ghost must be sent and must be answered... You should know what this means, right?"

"It means..." Feng Yuxian suddenly said: "As long as the ghost starts writing letters, there will be an unstoppable chain, and there must be a reply... That is to say, every letter must be replied, even if it is a reply. I have to reply to the letter again within three hours. Therefore, I have to send letters endlessly until the end of the blood."

"Yes." Li Yin said: "The important point is that the communication must be guaranteed to be uninterrupted within three hours. That is to say, as long as one party starts to write a letter, the chain will continue and will not end until the blood letter is executed." The time is over. And this time there is a problem... What if the ghost does not write a reply, or if the ghost does not write a reply on time?"

This is a most serious problem. The scarlet letter did not mention that the ghost would definitely write back on time.

At that time, it will be time to forge a reply letter.

"It is necessary to forge the reply letter, that is to say, the sent letter must be opened for inspection. It is also necessary to be able to imitate the handwriting inside, but I guess it will not be very difficult to imitate the handwriting, otherwise the apartment will not allow this. And Once the reply letter is forged, the next reply letter written by the ghost will also have false content. So... this time the reply letter needs to be forged again."

Having said that, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"That is to say..." Bai Yu said with a pale face: "Do you want to keep writing fake replies to the two ghosts? But, but..."

"Yes. What if something is wrong in the letter? Or what if the ghost wants us to tell something that only the lovers know? Once the letter is found to be forged, the consequences will be disastrous. That is to say , the key point is how to forge a letter that will not be found to be false."

Come to think of it, that's pretty much the case. Once there is a need to forge a reply letter, then the ghost who received the fake reply letter continues to write a reply letter, and the content inside may contain false content, which is easy to be seen through. People from both sides need to keep writing fake replies to ghosts. But if this continues to develop, sooner or later there will be a possibility of wearing out. At that time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Unless, the two ghosts have been writing replies to each other on time until the end of the blood. But is it possible that it will go that smoothly

"But, but..." Bai Yu suddenly became anxious: "Twenty years ago, how to find out about the lovers? And if it is something only those two people know..."

"Yes." Li Yin said with a sullen face: "It will turn into the worst situation. How to successfully forge a letter that will not be discovered is the most important thing. This is the 'way of life'."

Once there is a problem with the content of the forged reply letter, it will be deadlocked.

"Then... the forged content should be as short as possible." Bai Yu said: "And..."

"There is another key point." Li Yin said: "The two people died twenty years ago, and their souls have been entrenched there. I checked, and the two houses have been ownerless for twenty years. … There are rumors of ghosts. Under such circumstances, the content of the reply letter must be careful, and the vocabulary should not be too new. If there are words that are obviously used by people twenty years later, it is tantamount to suicide. This must be remember."

"Short writing doesn't mean there is no problem." Ziye added: "If the content is too short, it will be easily misunderstood."

"Hehe." Murong Mirage suddenly said: "It's worth noting that the bloody instructions didn't mention that the ghost was just writing a letter and would never leave the basement, right? What if it came out after writing? That's the problem."

"That's natural." Li Yin did not ignore this point: "So we must pay attention to this issue."

The most frightening thing is that if the ghost needs to reply to the letter, in the letter, it asks a question that only the two of you know, for example, do you remember something that happened when we first met? Lovers always like to ask such questions, if this is the case, who can find out? But if the reply letter is given to another ghost to write, in case this letter mentions the contents of the previous fake letter, it will also end everything.

You can say that. This bloody word is extremely difficult.

Moreover, separating the two pavilions obviously spread the danger. It is very possible that when one of the ghosts is raging, it will not affect the residents of the other hall.

"In short, now we can only investigate the situation of those two people as much as possible..."

Zeng Weixing, Ren Leon, everything about these two people, even the eighteenth generation of their ancestors, must be carefully investigated.

Looking at Li Yin's expression at this moment, Murong Mi thought: Shen Yu, what will you do? This time, they will definitely attack Li Yin and Ying Ziye, right? What would you do

Murong Mirage and Shen Yu have an agreement that he will help Shen Yu monitor Li Yin's actions in the apartment, and Shen Yu will give him a picture of prediction. But for Murong Mirage, it is also very interesting to experience the feeling of fighting ghosts between life and death.

But this time, she will definitely find a way to put Li Yin in a desperate situation. Use, a resident.

Which resident will she use? Feng Yuxian? Or Bai Yu

As for the "Sleeping Beauty" Shangguan Mian, Shen Yu probably won't provoke her easily. After all, she was the terrifying killer who even killed the "golden-eyed demon".

The meeting was discussed for more than three hours, and everyone was talking dryly, so the meeting was adjourned.

When Shangguanmian walked out of the room, Li Yin felt palpitations when he looked at her back. That girl who looked cute on the outside gave him an inexplicable pressure. As if she could kill herself instantly.

Feng Yuxian walked to Room 402 next to Li Yin, and when he took out the key to open the door, Li Yin walked over and said, "Mr. Feng, if you feel scared, you can come to me at any time. The sad thing is the level of fear. I know very well... "

"No. Don't make a mistake, Mr. Li Yin."

"What?"

"I'm very happy to be able to enter this apartment." Feng Yuxian suddenly looked directly at Li Yin and said, "I'm serious. Because the existence of this apartment has given me new hope."

Li Yin suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

Murong Mirage, Huangfu He, and now this Feng Yuxian again! Did the apartment deliberately choose psychopathic residents to enter? How can a normal person be happy to enter this apartment

"This apartment makes me feel hopeful." Feng Yuxian opened the door after saying this, and said, "Then, see you then."

After he closed the door, the two older Li Yin returned to the room, and Ziye was still there.

Li Yin was taken aback for a moment, and said, "You... are you still here?"

"Yeah." Ziye nodded and said, "This is my fifth instruction in blood. After I'm done, I'll be able to return to the apartment directly."

"Yes. Indeed."

"However, Li Yin. There is a question." She suddenly said: "Since Yin Yu once used this to bring ghosts into the apartment, can the residents themselves be brought back together? When the indicated time is up, can you take me back to the apartment together?"

Since ghosts can be brought back, perhaps the residents themselves can also be brought back. At present, it seems that as long as you get in touch with the other party, you can bring them back to the apartment. In the past, because there were too few people who executed the instructions in blood for more than the fifth time, Xia Yuan was killed before the start of the blood words, and Li Yin entered the mirror world that time, so no residents had the opportunity to try it. …

Can the resident who executed the scarlet word for the sixth to tenth time bring other residents back to the apartment

If it is possible, can it be done as long as it is the contacted household

"Indeed, this is a problem." Li Yin nodded and said, "However, other residents will also consider this issue. Is it possible to get in touch with me and go back to the apartment together? If there is any limit to bringing residents back to the apartment? Or, Does the apartment itself allow for that?"

Having said this, there was another burst of silence.

"Li Yin." Ziye spoke again.

"Don't you think the apartment was intentional?"

"On purpose? You mean..."

"After Silver Feather, it was confirmed that bringing ghosts into the apartment can make ghosts be sucked into that black hole. In other words, ghosts are not unable to enter the apartment, but cannot survive in the apartment. Residents can use this to destroy ghosts After knowing this, two ghosts appeared in the blood this time, and... Li Yin, you are still confined to one of the halls. Didn't the apartment do it on purpose because the residents knew this? "

"What do you... want to say?"

"Did the apartment let us discover this on purpose, or... We discovered it by accident, so we adjusted the difficulty of the scarlet characters?"

This point, no one knows. Because no one can question the apartment.

"Midnight, the problem is... the last time Yin Yu brought a ghost into the apartment, it was the way of life for Scarlet. Since such a way of life is arranged, the apartment is deliberately letting the residents know..."

"It's okay to think this way. But, Li Yin, I always feel that from the perspective of the apartment, I don't want the residents to find out about this. So, can you think about it this way?"

"What? What do you want to say? Midnight?"

"The way of life indicated by the blood..."

"Is there really only one answer?"

This is, for a long time, a problem that few residents have thought about. Many people think that instructions in blood are the same as geometric proofs, and there is only one way to answer them.

But is it really so? Will the apartment arrange multiple ways of survival in order to balance some extremely difficult blood characters? If this is the case, then if you only consider a single way of life, will you fall into a dead corner of thinking instead

"Midnight... You said, the possibility of multiple ways of life?"

"This is just my guess." Ziye took out a piece of paper and said, "Actually, I carefully analyzed the previous instructions in blood, and gradually discovered... there are some blood words, and there are several other possible ways of survival. But, It’s just that we can’t verify it. In fact, many of the blood characters we found have extremely cryptic hints, and we can’t find them without extremely high wisdom. It’s also because I began to wonder if there are actually more obvious hints that can be detected. A way out of discovery? And are we overcomplicating the problem?"

"What you said... makes sense. But after all, it's just a hypothesis. In reality, we don't have so many opportunities to try one by one. Whether these ways of life are true or false. In fact, these hidden hints in blood, we are drawing conclusions There is no way to determine whether it is right or not.”

"That's right. That's the problem, Li Yin. We have no way to determine whether the life path of the blood characters is correct, so we can only verify it first. However, if the verification fails, the consequences will often be irreversible. None of us can predict the future. So , isn't it very likely that the apartment has arranged several less risky and easier ways to try blood letters?"

That is to say...

In fact, there is a way of life that does not require too much risk even if it is verified. And that kind of "way of survival" is the real way of life!

This assumption, uttered by Zi Ye, shocked Li Yin deeply.

In fact, even if you think of a way out, there are some situations where the verification process requires a lot of risk. There may be sacrifices of residents in the process. But if there is such a way of survival with minimal risk, it will be completely different.

That minimizes the number of residents sacrificed!

"Is it possible to be so ideal? For this apartment, we are just ants struggling to survive, 'things', not people!" Li Yin didn't know why, but always had a strong sense of frustration.

If Zi Ye's words are true, doesn't it mean that although he has lived to this day, he is still being played by the apartment? As for the future instructions in blood, he is also likely to continue to be played like this.

It would be great if we could find that mysterious person...

Although Yin Ye and Yin Yu may form an alliance with that mysterious person, and Li Yin also asked some residents to monitor Yin Ye's movements, but so far no changes have been found.

That mysterious man and the fragments of the hell contract are great hopes. But this hope turned into nothing, which made Li Yin at a loss.

But Yinye and Yinyu have more information than Li Yin.

The two of them already knew the form of the mysterious person's prophecy, that is, the "prediction painting". The "prediction painting" can predict the future phenomenon that will happen at the location indicated by the blood letter, and can judge the way of birth from it.

The point of oil painting further reminds Yinye of deep rain.

However, it is still uncertain. Because of the deep rain, not a single painting was left behind. Nothing can be determined by oil painting alone. And to what extent can the other party's prophecy reach? Will there be people who will kill them in the future because they are tempted by the prophecy

What worries Yinye most is...the spare keys of all the residents' rooms that Li Yin holds in his hand.

If Li Yin reached an agreement with that mysterious person to kill himself and Yin Yu, the consequences would be disastrous. However, there was no way to change the lock on the apartment door.

For this reason, Yinye decided to move out of the apartment with Yinyu and return to live in his own home. Anyway, just go back to the apartment every forty-eight hours. And doing so aroused Li Yin's suspicion even more.

The mutual suspicion between Li Yin and Yin Ye deepened because of this...
