The past few years have been very difficult for Yazhen. At that time, she finally went to a foreign country, where she moved around to work and endured all kinds of hardships, and she persisted until now. Now that I have returned home, I have not found a job yet.
The two siblings, their parents died shortly after they entered junior high school. At that time, there was a train accident, and they have been able to live on the large amount of pension they received until now. At that time, the relatives who wanted to support the two were all in order to obtain this pension. Yazhen decided to take on the responsibility of her older sister and live alone with her younger brother. Until I entered the apartment later, I gritted my teeth again and again to survive every horrible blood-letter instruction.
It can be said that almost all the most painful things in the world happened to this pair of siblings. This hard life also caused Mi Tian to be sharp, cynical, and pessimistic and gloomy. But Mizhen became more and more courageous in the face of adversity and painful fate. She always held hope and was unwilling to give up lightly. Several times, when Mitian almost gave up, she gritted her teeth and persisted.
First time in blood...
The second blood letter...
The third blood letter...
The fourth blood letter...
Year by year. In the days of living in the apartment, she still goes to school, because Mizhen needs to supplement knowledge as a bargaining chip in the future execution of blood characters, so she has a very strong thirst for knowledge, philosophy, religion, psychology, occult, etc. I have read all the books, and I have done in-depth research on supernatural and curse phenomena many times. And what she has studied most deeply is psychology and logical deduction, and she has indeed learned to the point of proficiency later.
After the sixth execution of the scarlet letter, she and Mi Tian would execute it every time the scarlet letter was released, because very few people could execute the scarlet letter beyond the fifth time. The difficulty of the blood words executed by the siblings alone is also increasing, and the way of life is becoming more and more difficult to find. During that most painful period, Mizhen never shed a single tear.
Before I knew it, it was the last instruction in blood.
"Sister, I don't want to die! I've made it through this day, I don't want to die!"
Yazhen caressed a carving in his hand. The sculpture is of two intertwined bodies without a head. Because there is no head and the body parts are tightly wound, it is impossible to tell whether the two carved figures are male or female. It's an obvious stone carving, but, on closer inspection, it's not carved by any terrestrial matter. At that time, the two used this engraving to bear the curse together. The usage and function of the carving are written in seal characters on a stone tablet in the ancient ruins.
If not, Mizhen would not be able to sit here at this moment.
She put the carving back on her body. She has always carried carvings with her. At present, the curse has become stronger and stronger. She knows very well that the clues left by Pu Meiling are the only hope. Once Mi Tian dies, she will also be drawn into that space again, forever lost.
It can be said that she is still "executing" the tenth instruction in blood.
However, after she heard Shang Guanmian mentioned the "warehouse" incident, she was a little moved at first. The disappearing storehouse might have an item that can remove her curse. Is there a way to summon the storehouse again
However, the excitement only lasted for a while and then disappeared.
Because she felt a little unusual. The existence of the warehouse, from the beginning to the end, is not normal. Having lived in the apartment for so many years, Mizhen naturally knows very well that the apartment has strong checks and balances on all blood characters, and so-called warehouses will not appear for no reason. Although it seems to be at the cost of weakening the restrictions, the number of items that appear is a bit too much, and it gives residents too many choices. Abnormality is a demon, how could Mizhen not understand such truths
She asked Shangguan Mian about all the props in detail, and after understanding it, she asked about the disappearance of the warehouse. Strangely, the blood tumor tree at the entrance of the apartment has completely disappeared. Why is it that when the warehouse disappears, even the props are completely gone? If the warehouse is to be taken back, there is no need to appear from the beginning. At present, the residents all believe that a certain mutation has occurred that caused this phenomenon, but no one has figured out the real reason.
Just now, the short conversation with Shen Yu made her more convinced of her hypothesis. Warehouses are definitely not created to help residents get through the blood. Mizhen roughly guessed the reason why the warehouse appeared.
According to Mizhen's analysis, the emergence of warehouses is to further weaken the protection of apartment rules for residents. However, it is not reflected in the props, because the complete number of props and many abilities are too abnormal, so this is definitely not for checks and balances. Moreover, if the difficulty is only kept at the original state and the form of checks and balances is changed, it is impossible for the apartment to arrange such meaningless things. That is to say...
It is to let the residents trigger the "dead end".
She came to the conclusion that... the warehouse itself was a bloody instruction issued by the apartment! It's just that it's a bloody instruction issued to all the residents of the apartment! It's just that no one can know how many times they are executing the blood word until they see the prompt text in the blood word after executing the tenth time blood word instruction. At that time, the apartment did issue a blood letter, and then let the residents enter the "warehouse". The original text of the blood word is "a prop used to carry out the instructions of the blood word", not "a prop used to restrain ghosts".
Word games in blood are not uncommon. When she learned that props cannot be brought into the apartment, Yazhen became more certain of this assumption. One of the big rules of the apartment is that objects designed with ghosts or supernatural phenomena are completely excluded from the outside of the apartment and cannot be entered. This is the space inside the apartment, the biggest restriction on ghosts, and the existence of this restriction protects the residents to the greatest extent. And this restriction was created to check and balance the difficulty of blood characters.
However, when the devil-level blood instruction is issued, the apartment will issue a special blood instruction for all residents according to specific circumstances, including Ke Yinye and others who were executing the instruction at the time. This bloody word. That "warehouse" itself is the place where the blood-letter instruction is executed, and it is a blood-letter instruction that does not limit the time and place. The purpose is, in order to completely destroy the fluke mentality of the residents for the ten blood characters, and force them to choose the special blood characters of the devil level.
In that case, Mizhen thought that it was reasonable to have so many props in the warehouse. Because those props themselves are the supernatural phenomenon of this special blood character. Because there is no time limit for the end of the blood, the apartment itself will not wash away the curse of the props on the residents. Even entering the apartment, the curse effect brought by the props cannot be lifted. This partial change to the rules is probably caused by the particularity of this special blood character.
The strengthening of the restrictions on ghosts in the apartment is based on the premise of the weakness of the residents. Conversely, the weakening of the apartment's restrictions on ghosts is generated when enough tips are given to allow residents to escape the curse of blood. If this is the case, then this special blood character is to weaken the restrictions on ghosts while giving the residents enough tips on how to survive. However, now the warehouse not only disappeared, but also the props.
Why is the item missing? The props will indeed have a real curse effect on the residents, why must they disappear? Is it because it no longer needs to exist, or is it that it cannot continue to exist
After repeated thinking, Mizhen believes that it is most likely due to the reminder of the way of life and the balance of difficulty. From this, she made a correction to her inference. The "prop" was not a supernatural phenomenon that appeared in blood, on the contrary, it was the "reminder of survival" given by the apartment. The disappearance of the props is because the residents have completely triggered the "dead end", and the prompt does not need to appear, or the continued existence of the props will exceed the scope of difficulty checks and balances.
A certain resident triggered a dead end, but at the same time gave a sufficient level of hints for a way out. In other words, every resident of the apartment is still following the bloody instructions of this "warehouse"!
Considering this step, a certain idea is ready to come out. Mizhen believes that props may not be used to restrain ghosts at all, on the contrary, they appear as reminders of the way to survive, or as a prerequisite for triggering the way to death. No matter which one, it is possible to cause a certain curse phenomenon. And that curse phenomenon will weaken the restrictions of the apartment on a large scale.
There are two possibilities for weakened restrictions.
First, the restriction that ghosts cannot enter the apartment is likely to be broken; second, the restriction that ghosts no longer hunt after the residents escape back to the apartment is weakened. Both are procs that have the potential to cause a dead end if the occupant uses an item.
In any case, at least the disappearance of the warehouse is proof that the dead end was triggered, and there is no need to doubt it. Mizhen has spent ten bloody times, and his research on this point has already reached the level of being an expert.
None of the apartment residents who are still living in the world can compare with Mizhen in understanding of apartments.
"Which one is it?" Mizhen sat at the desk, kept scribbling in his notebook, and said to himself: "Which one is it? Anyway, if the curse phenomenon caused by the trigger of the dead end completely occurs in the apartment, It's too scary."
At the end of writing, Yazhen closed the notebook and said: "However, so far, it is certain that the fact that the way of life can unlock the scarlet characters has not changed. As long as this remains unchanged, the residents will still have room to survive. For the time being Don’t tell Miss Shangguan and Shen Yu this inference, otherwise it will only cause them two to panic. Moreover, I don’t know any way to rescue Mi Tian for the time being.”
Mizhen stood up, feeling a little sleepy in his eyes, so he rubbed them.
"Well, I've overused my brain, so I'll refresh my mind with a cup of malted milk! Malted milk, where is the malted milk?"
She went to the cupboard and took out the malted milk jar, only to find it was empty.
"Isn't it? Are there any coffee beans? Well, there are no more? Xinhu is a glutton!"
After closing the cupboard, Yazhen stretched her arms.
At this moment, suddenly the phone rang. Mizhen immediately took out her mobile phone, connected the phone, and said, "Hi, I'm Chu Mizhen..."
"Mizhen, I, I'm so scared! I, I don't dare to leave the house now, after much deliberation, I can only ask you for help!"
"Xiyue? What happened?"
"Mizhen, you may think my words are absurd and unreasonable, but it is true. My nanny said that she saw Wang Shaojie at my door!"
"You, what did you say?"
From the very first moment, Mizhen's brain began to calculate various hypotheses at high speed. Years of experience in performing blood characters has made Mizhen's nerve response speed and calculation ability strong to an astonishing level.
Mizhen is not a resident, so how could he see ghosts? Was the nanny wrong? But she is not a neurotic person, she will not talk nonsense.
Mizhen immediately comforted Xiyue with a steady voice, and said, "Calm down first, and speak slowly and clearly."
"My nanny, I saw a man outside my house today. Didn't I just ask you for a photo? After she saw Wang Shaojie's photo in your QQ album, she said, that man is the man she saw at the door!"
Mizhen was stunned for a moment, and continued: "It's not strange that people have similarities. Have you watched "Let the Bullets Fly"? Chow Yun-fat's stand-in looks exactly like him, so it's not surprising."
"No, it won't! Because even the mole on the mouth is in the same position! Even twins can't be so alike."
"Why would you even think of showing the babysitter the picture?"
"Because, she said that she identified the mole, which is the same, exactly the same as Wang Shaojie!"
"Then the nanny is lying?"
"Why is she lying?"
"Who ordered you? Don't be so nervous. How could Wang Shaojie really come back? Just ask the nanny seriously. It's ridiculous to talk about the return of the dead."
Mizhen is unwilling to believe that there are supernatural phenomena happening around Xiyue. After all, as long as you are not an apartment resident, the possibility of seeing a ghost is lower than winning the lottery.
However, she has another hypothesis. Could it be that his contact with Xiyue caused Xiyue to receive some kind of curse? Although she thinks it's unlikely.
"I see, you stay there first, I'll come right over!"
Then, Mizhen quickly rushed out of the gate, praying in his heart: nothing will happen, Xiyue, absolutely nothing will happen!
Xiyue hung up the phone, and just as she hung up, the phone in her hand rang again! She immediately turned off the phone again, looked at the nanny in front of her, and said with a gloomy face: "Yes, what you said now is very suspicious. Are you lying? The person you saw is dead!"
The nanny waved her hands in fright and said, "Ma'am, I swear I'm not lying, it's true!"
At the same time, in the apartment, Li Yin found that the phone to Xiyue rang once and then disconnected. He frowned and said, "It seems that there is a problem, but it's good to know the address. It's just that we can't approach it before the date stipulated in blood. After all, no one knows what will happen when we approach it."
"You have to lock the location." Shen Yu beside Li Yin said, "Li Yin, the key to the bloody word this time is to stay by those two people's side, so on the day of the bloody word, we must ensure that the two people Where people are, if they go out temporarily, it's going to be a big problem."
"However, you can't approach them rashly now." Li Yin had a different idea: "Isn't it too dangerous to approach them now?"
At this time, he looked at Zi Ye in front of him. Ziye's face was a little pale, and Li Yin knew very well that she couldn't go with him to execute the blood letter, and she was very worried and fearful.
However, they must be separated.
"In short," Li Yin immediately adjusted his thinking, and said, "I'll try first before contacting Yan Lang. I must know if they have provoked any evil spirits. After all, most of the tips for survival are on these two people."
He recalled Wen Qian's words. Wen Qian testified that the two were the murderers of Wang Shaojie. Although Li Yin didn't want to believe it, but frankly speaking, Yan Lang did have the motive of killing, and Qian Xiyue also had the motive of perjury.
Of course, there is actually a more terrifying possibility. That is, those two people may both be dead! After all, the word "corpse" in the bloody characters may refer to something else.
"Could it be them?" Ziye suddenly asked, "Didn't Wenqian testify against them that day? Testify that they killed Wang Shaojie. Li Yin, can't you think they are the murderers?"
"Midnight!" Li Yin said hastily: "It's not sure yet..."
But Ziye still said with that cold attitude: "Li Yin, I know they are your college classmates, but the instructions in blood said that, if the two of them really killed someone and let the ghost come back to claim their life , you should know what's going to happen, right?"
"What is wronged soul claiming life?" After hearing this, Shen Yu hurriedly asked: "Do you have any clues? Li Yin, you said they were your classmates in college, so, what do you know? If it is really a murderer, it is absolutely big. Clue!"
"Immediately find a way to investigate this murder case," Ziye said, looking at one of the three new residents who executed the bloody letter this time, intelligence dealer Li Fen, and said: "Mr. Li, this time your life is also at stake. "
"I see, I will do my best to investigate. To tell you the truth, I have been on the Tao for many years, and I know quite a few people. I am on the Tao, and whoever calls me 'Brother Fen'."
Li Fen responded with bold words, but only God knows how sure he is. After all, the police have never cracked this case.
However, Li Yin also thought that if this case had something to do with the bloody characters, was it because the police failed to solve it, or was it the restrictions imposed by the apartment? After all, the apartment can completely influence the judiciary.
Mizhen got off the taxi, looked up at the towering apartment building, and couldn't help smacking her tongue: "They are really rich, it seems that their husband and wife are really capable."
Take the elevator to the 11th floor and come to room 1103. She hurried to the corridor door and pressed the bell.
Soon, the door opened, and the nanny Xiaohua saw Du Mizhen standing at the door, and immediately said: "Miss Chu? Come in quickly, my wife has been waiting for you for a long time."
