Apartment From Hell

Chapter 23: The true meaning of the words in blood

Views:

When twelve o'clock arrived, hide and seek officially began. According to the rules, Si Chen, who is a "ghost", closes his eyes, counts with his back to them, and can look for them after counting.

Yang Lin and the others repeatedly warned Si Chen, deciding not to peek. After all, this was the basic rule of the game of hide and seek, and if he violated it, it would be tantamount to violating the apartment's instructions in blood.

And the moment Si Chen turned his back, the other four immediately spread their legs and ran down the mountain desperately! At this moment, everyone is sprinting at a speed of 100 meters. After all, no one knows what terrible consequences will happen if they are found.

The fastest runner is Yang Lin. He often participated in the track and field competitions of the school sports meeting when he was a student. Before counting to five, the other three couldn't see him either.

Yang Lin ran for nearly 700 meters in one breath, and his pace slowed down a little, but he didn't catch his breath. He didn't dare to relax at all, still looking left and right. Although it is said to hide, is there a place to hide in Huayan Mountain? There are almost no trees, and the grass is not high, so it will be conspicuous wherever you go. Unless, caves can be found. But Yang Lin thinks that hiding in the cave is the next best thing to do. After all, once the cave is found, there is no escape. Although the mountain is huge, Si Chen still has twelve hours to find himself. So he thought that it would be better to walk around indiscriminately on the mountain so as not to meet Si Chen easily.

At the same time, he still didn't understand what kind of traps there were in the instructions in blood this time. But you can be sure, it will definitely not be a simple hide-and-seek.

The mountain road of Huayan Mountain is extremely rough, uneven and quite difficult to walk. The ground was extremely dry, and there seemed to be no humidity in the air. Even Yang Lin felt as though sand had entered his nostrils when he breathed.

Yang Lin often played the game of hide and seek when he was a child. At that time, as now, he was a hider. Every time he chooses a place to hide, he is very cautious, even running a long way. In the end, others couldn't find him, but he also lost his way and couldn't go home. Because of the experience of getting lost, he later had a strong sense of fear of the game of hide-and-seek, so that he was no longer willing to play hide-and-seek.

And now... actually want to use this annoying game to carry out the instructions in blood.

On the other hand, Zhang Lingfeng's running was not too slow, and he was five or six hundred meters away from the top of the mountain. It's just that his physique is not as good as Yang Lin's, and he is out of breath now, and his running has turned into walking.

However, thinking of being found by the "ghost" and not knowing what the consequences would be, I didn't dare to stop and continued to speed up my pace. The rule indicated in blood is that as long as you don't leave Huayan Mountain, you can hide anywhere. So... run downhill? When the time comes, you can leave immediately. However, he immediately rejected the idea. If Si Chen found him, there would be no place to escape if he couldn't leave Huayan Mountain. Let's find a safe place to hide in the mountains.

Twelve hours doesn't sound like a long time, just half a day. However, for these apartment residents, every minute and every second is suffering and torture! Zhang Lingfeng checked his watch almost every two or three minutes, and then kept looking back to see if Si Chen had caught up.

"I don't know how fast that kid is running. Will he turn around and peek at our running route?"

Zhang Lingfeng, who has an aloof personality, doesn't have a particularly good relationship with the residents, while Si Chen lives in a relatively high-rise, and his relationship with him is not very deep. In the apartment, the only one who had a good relationship with him was the dead Qin Shoutian. When he learned of his death, Zhang Lingfeng really sighed. But there is no way, living in this apartment, everyone is precarious, and any time they go to carry out the instructions in blood, they may not be able to return.

Living in this apartment is indeed quite scary, but after a long time, the fear gradually becomes numb. The residents are now trying to spell out the tenth instruction in blood to be free and leave this damned apartment.

"I will never die! I must leave the apartment alive!"

When Zhang Lingfeng was thinking this way, a gust of wind suddenly blew up. This gust of wind was a little weird, and it swept up the dust and sand on the ground, and even fascinated the eyes. Zhang Lingfeng couldn't stand still for a while, and his eyes were dark again, and he fell to the ground, actually spraining his foot!

"ah-"

Zhang Lingfeng was horrified, he sprained his foot in this hide-and-seek game, it was no joke! He hurriedly massaged his ankle with his hands desperately, but no matter how much he rubbed it, his foot still felt raw! In this way, let alone running, even walking, the speed will be very slow!

Immediately, sweat began to ooze from his forehead, he kept looking around, praying in his heart for all the gods and Buddhas he could resemble, and hoped that Si Chen would never find him at this time!

It won't be such a coincidence... The mountain is so big, there is no reason why he found me so quickly...

He stood up, gritted his teeth and continued to move forward. After all, he was still a little closer to the top of the mountain. Even though he felt severe pain every time he took a step, Zhang Lingfeng still endured it desperately.

Chen Zhenxing originally wanted to drive the car up the mountain, but the mountain road was more bumpy than he imagined, especially there was a section of gravel road, if he drove hard, the tires of the car would be broken, so he had to Parked the car at the foot of the hill. You can only escape on foot.

In fact, although Li Yin said that it is better to run away separately, he still hopes to escape together with others. He is talkative and funny on weekdays, and he is very popular in the apartment. Among them, the relationship with Xia Yuan is the best. After learning from Ying Ziye that he was dead, he was also sad for several days. It was hard for him to believe that Xia Yuan, who wore glasses and was always full of confidence, died so easily. But this is the fact that any resident has no guarantee of survival.

Li Yin became the new building manager, although he could accept it in his heart, but subconsciously there was always some resistance. He always felt that only Xia Yuan was qualified for the position of building manager, and Li Yin had only lived in the apartment for a year. Of course, Li Yin's intelligence is unquestionable, but he always feels that he is still inferior to Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan's always confident and unchanging expression inspired many residents to actively face the instructions written in blood, but it was difficult for Li Yin to give people such a feeling.

And... even Xia Yuan died, so what about the other residents? It can't help but feel quite hopeless. However, if he wanted to survive, he had to continue to follow the instructions in blood.

Chen Zhenxing hopes that Li Yin can bring new hope to the residents. After all, it is impossible for Xia Yuan to come back from the dead.

"I don't know if A Yuan and Bing Yang are doing well now..."

After he became a resident of the apartment, Chen Zhenxing learned from the pain and decided to divorce his wife. After all, the wife is still young, and no one knows what the future holds when he lives in the apartment. These days, divorced women and widows are completely different concepts. It is naturally much easier for the former to remarry than the latter. Moreover, it is impossible to tell the truth to his wife about this kind of thing, otherwise he will be regarded as a paranoid patient.

In the end, he gritted his teeth, found a migrant girl, gave her a sum of money, and played a show in front of his wife, saying that he wanted to divorce his wife because he was promiscuous outside. After all, if there is no reason for divorce, the wife will only continue to investigate the reason, and maybe she will think that she has difficulties and is unwilling to divorce. As a result, Chen Zhenxing bears all the infamy, and even his son looks down on him, calling him Chen Shimei and a heartless person. The wife was very angry at first, and because Chen Zhenxing had to live in the apartment, he threw a divorce agreement to his wife and left home, only letting the lawyer discuss with his wife. On the contrary, this made his wife believe that he had completely changed his mind, learned from the painful experience, and finally signed the divorce agreement.

Although this happened half a year ago, Chen Zhenxing still feels very painful in retrospect. The wife is very strong. The house they lived in was mainly paid by Chen Zhenxing, and the head of the household was also registered in Chen Zhenxing's name, so the wife simply left the house and took her son Bingyang to work outside to earn money to support his son.

For a while, those who didn't know the truth all accused Chen Zhenxing. Even his biological parents said that if they didn't remarry his wife, they would cut off relations with him. And the relatives and friends around him told him that it is understandable for a man to play around outside, and it is normal to get lost occasionally, but there is no need to give his wife to "Hugh", right? Some people said that he didn't even think about fighting for the custody of his son

Of course, it is impossible for Chen Zhenxing to fight for the custody of his son. He cannot live with his son. Moreover, as the party at fault, even if he fights for custody, the court is unlikely to award him.

In the six months after the divorce, Chen Zhenxing had been sending alimony to his wife on time, but his wife never took the initiative to contact him. Moreover, the place where my wife lives is relatively far away. Although 48 hours is more than enough to go back and forth, no one can guarantee that there will be no traffic jams or other emergencies. Generally, she will not leave the apartment if there is nothing to do. Finally, Chen Zhenxing plucked up the courage to meet his wife once, but she didn't want to see him at all.

After his experience was known to the residents of the apartment, everyone was very moved. Especially Xia Yuan, after knowing this, said: "Don't be discouraged! After we leave the apartment alive, I will help you pursue your wife again! Although even at that time, you can't tell her about the apartment, but at least you You can be with her now!"

Xia Yuan's heart-to-heart words moved Chen Zhenxing extremely, so he and Xia Yuan also became close friends. The two agreed that they must leave the apartment alive together!

Unexpectedly... Xia Yuan actually walked ahead of him. The oath of the past is still in my ears, but Xia Yuan has no bones left.

"I will live with you! Xia Yuan!"

Among the four, Tang Lanxuan was the one who ran the slowest.

Tang Lanxuan was one of the residents in the apartment who had the best friendship with Li Yin, and had a good relationship with Chen Zhenxing. Tang Lanxuan has a gentle and kind personality. He is a typical nice man. In the apartment, everyone who sees him will call him "Doctor Tang". Lan Xuan's parents are not in China, and he works in a large hospital in the city. As a surgeon, he often assists in the treatment when carrying out instructions written in blood, and even provides residents with a lot of medicine and emergency medical knowledge, which makes the residents very moved. The residents privately believed that if any resident in the apartment died, more than half of the residents would shed tears, it must be Dr. Tang Lanxuan.

Tang Lanxuan admired Li Yin's father Li Yong very much. Li Yong was the president of Zhengtian Hospital, a well-known general hospital in K City, and Li Yin's mother was the chairman of the hospital. Tang Lanxuan once listened to Dean Li's medical lectures, and admired Dean Li's professional knowledge very much. For this reason, he and Li Yin have a particularly good relationship. But he was surprised that Li Yin didn't inherit his father's hospital, but became an online novelist, he couldn't help being very strange. He had exchanged medical knowledge with Li Yin, and found that Li Yin's talent in this area was no less than his father's.

In this regard, Li Yin's explanation is that he does not like this kind of fateful inheritance. Anyway, he is not only proficient in the field of medicine, but also can work in other fields. However, Lan Xuan always feels that this is not the most critical reason. He believed that Li Yin did not want to be a doctor because of his sensitivity to death. To become a doctor, you have to face life, old age, sickness and death all the time. In fact, it is a test of people's psychological quality.

Li Yin once said: "I always feel that after being a doctor for a long time, he will be very numb to the death of people. No matter how tragic the death is, it can't arouse sadness. I don't like this. To die and grieve is human."

That sentence has always been deeply in Lan Xuan's heart. He very much agreed with Li Yin's statement. For doctors, medical skills are important, but compassion and sympathy are absolutely indispensable. Only when we never forget the reverence for life in our hearts, will we do our best to save every life.

When Lan Xuan was thinking this way, he was already far away from the top of the mountain. Suddenly, the phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was Li Yin's call.

Lan Xuan answered the phone and asked, "Li Yin, what's the matter?"

"Lan Xuan... have you selected 'ghost'? Just now, I have some new ideas about the instructions in blood, and I want to talk to you about them."

"Oh, selected. What do you think?"

"How did you choose? Who will be the 'ghost'?"

"It was chosen by guessing fists. It was Si Chen who was the 'ghost'."

Li Yin didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked again: "Who? Who will be the 'ghost'?"

"Si Chen, that's Si Chen from room 1215, the one who likes to play tarot."

Li Yin yelled on the phone: "Lan Xuan! Please wake up! The 12th floor of our apartment is at most room 1214. Where did room 1215 come from? Si Chen? Where is this resident in the apartment?"

"Li... Li Yin, you, what are you kidding? It wasn't Si Chen who gathered downstairs with us before, saying that there were blood characters in his room..."

"Be sober! Only you, Chen Zhenxing, Yang Lin, and Zhang Lingfeng have received instructions in blood this time! Where did Si Chen come from!"

Lan Xuan shuddered suddenly, and his brain suddenly became clear...

yes…

When did our apartment have a resident named Si Chen? Searching through the memory bank, I can't find the existence of this person at all!

What is the resident who lives in Room 1215, who likes to use Tarot cards for divination, everything related to Si Chen in the past...

All are false memories!

I am afraid that after leaving the apartment, I met "it", and was confused by "it", thinking that "it" was also a resident of the apartment, and then followed "it" to Huayan Mountain, and "it" decided to let "it" Come be a ghost...

At this moment, Lan Xuan realized one thing.

In other words... the four of them are now playing hide-and-seek with a real "ghost"...
