There are many strange things in the apartment.
Seven hundred years ago, in addition to encountering all kinds of strange rules, people's biggest trouble actually came from evil itself.
People will become evil when they are swallowed by negative emotions, and people will become evil when they are infected by evil body fluids.
The despair of the end of the world is overwhelming.
Zhao Cuican and his sister live in such an apartment, and the two siblings hope to survive in this place.
But what is in this apartment
There are many indifferent passers-by who absolutely do not mind exchanging the death of others for completely unequal and meager survival resources.
There are many evil people, some who feel uncomfortable if they don't monitor other people's privacy, some who steal food from the blind without knowing it, and some who kill their wives for other women.
Evil people gathered in this apartment, and strange stories appeared one after another. People thought about escaping from this apartment, but what is outside the apartment
Rampant evil feeds on humans everywhere, and riots, chaos, death, and plague spread throughout the city.
Living in an apartment, you will be killed by various monsters sooner or later, and living outside the apartment will only lead to more terrible things.
In order to protect his brother, Zhao Xingkong gradually became evil.
At first she didn't notice any changes in herself, and everything was just sleepwalking.
In her sleep, she became like a spider, clinging to the ceiling, with her hands and feet as if completely twisted by a terrifying force.
The evil is touching the human face.
Several times, the sister tried to devour her brother, but in the end she just crawled away like a spider and ended up in someone else's house.
There have been a few times when there were a few people who were very unfortunate enough to open their eyes and see an innocent yet drooling face in the middle of the night.
They didn't even have time to scream before they were killed by the horrible venom.
However, as more and more ghost stories appeared, as her inner guilt for killing and her desire to kill grew stronger, the sister, who had already turned into a monster, finally decided to end her own life before she could no longer bear to kill her brother.
But she did not die in the end, but became one of the ghost stories.
Zhao Xingkong, who barely came back from the dead, thought he could protect his brother Zhao Cuican forever—if the disaster of Baichuan Middle School had not spread because of Jiang Yimi's outbreak of fusion disease.
But Bai Wu thinks it is not objective to blame all the tragedies on Jiang Yimi.
The evil of human nature itself is the most terrifying. If you can't get what you want... the endings of many things in this apartment will change, but they may not be better than they are now.
Bai Wu returned to 2-9.
There was a compartment in the ceiling, which was a secret that Zhao Cuican didn't know because the previous tenant had hidden something here.
In the end, it became the place where Zhao Xingkong died.
Bai Wu raised his head and said softly:
"Xingkong, I'm here to see you."
There were rustling sounds and the sound of limbs twisting from the ceiling, but it never opened.
Bai Wu suddenly remembered that although he had enough inferences to make the rule of faith take effect and allow Zhao Xingkong to appear.
But... this room won't work, which is why my eyes didn't give me any hints.
"If no one opens it... you can't get out, right?"
"After you found out that your death was not real, you thought about telling your brother Zhao Cuican everything, but unfortunately... no one could understand what you meant, and when a certain rule came into effect, you would never be able to establish contact with your brother..."
In order to protect her brother, the sister turned into a monster, and finally decided to die to prevent herself from losing control and killing her brother.
But she did not die, but turned into a half-regular and half-evil being. At that moment, she hoped that she could protect her brother and tell him these things.
But it didn’t work…
Like the TV horror characters, she is trapped in her own land of death and cannot leave.
There was only a thin layer of board between us, but there was no way to let my brother know.
For some reason, Bai Wu suddenly thought of Jing Si and Jing Liu.
I always feel that this pair of siblings... for some reason, can never be together.
Zhao Cuican told one horrific story after another, right in front of everyone else's greatest fear, his own most cherished sister, and eventually died.
Maybe he died of hunger, or maybe he died from the evil intentions of others.
The partition in the ceiling is actually very easy to open, just like a sliding door, Bai Wu just pushes it gently and it opens.
In the darkness, he saw a girl's face with a twisted and mutated body and four arms and legs that looked like a spider.
After seven hundred years of distortion, her face now has several pairs of eyes like a spider.
It was very terrifying, especially the moment when all those eyes opened, scarlet light emerged in the darkness, like eight will-o'-the-wisp fires.
Bai Wu showed no fear, but just said as usual:
"I'm sorry to hear that your brother is dead. I think he died at midnight, right? I remember you were texting everyone like crazy at that time."
In room 1-9, at midnight, there was a text message with a completely different emotion from the other text messages.
At other times, it was like a friend greeting him, but when he received that text message at midnight, Bai Wu only felt a sense of urgency.
"You are a ghost story confined to this apartment. All the distorted forces will also distort your fate..."
"Who are you?"
The spider-transformed ghost girl originally wanted to kill Bai Wu, but Bai Wu's words stopped her.
Of course, a larger part of the reason for stopping was that the white fog was very strong.
At this time, Bai Wu was holding the conch, and he was instructing Yan Jiu by words and deeds.
In the distance, Yan Jiu, who was approaching the source of the circus laughter with Lin Rui, was also studying seriously.
"I'm just a tenant. Although I told other ghost stories that I'm a ghost story remover, I don't actually want to remove you. I just want to invite you to join."
Bai Wu's tone was sincere.
"The laughter outside will slowly affect you. There is no point in you continuing to wait here. Your brother has told many horror stories, but the reason he can tell those stories calmly is because he believes that the world is ultimately bright and aboveboard."
"But we all know what this world is like. Not to mention this dark apartment, let alone the twisted apocalypse seven hundred years ago, even in the tower where there are no twisted rules and people don't worry about all the weird things, there are still so many ugly things."
Bai Wu could naturally kill this strange story by force. Zhao Xingkong was indeed pitiful, but he had killed many people, even though most of them had stains.
But most of the time, Bai Wu believed that his strength was not to stop others from speaking, but to prevent others from interrupting him when he was speaking.
He is very powerful.
He was so powerful that the Spider-Woman didn't dare to take any action and could only listen to him. It must be said that these remarks really touched the Spider-Woman.
"Instead of staying here, being swallowed by that laughter and forgetting your beloved brother, why not come with me to create a world without terror?"
Yan Jiu, who was far away, reacted immediately and took notes in his mind - this was an act of testing the other party's desires and trying to satisfy them.
But this is actually a more advanced usage. Bai Wu hopes that Yan Jiu can understand that the evil creatures that have lived for seven hundred years, the things they are obsessed with may not be able to live for another seven hundred years.
For example, the one in front of you... He has lived for seven hundred years as an immortal ghost story, and his brother died long ago.
So if my brother dies, does that mean I have no desires anymore
The answer is of course not entirely true. Just like Hong Yin originally wanted her grandmother to comb her hair, but now that her grandmother is gone, can't she create other desires
If you don’t have a goal, you have to create one.
A more advanced approach is to replace the concept of obsession, give the other party a more ambitious goal, and allow the other party's obsession of seven hundred years to have an outlet.
As expected, it was just like a TV horror show... Even though this was my first time meeting this person, I had lived for seven hundred years after all. It would be a lie to say that I was willing to be swallowed by laughter, and it would also be a lie to say that I was willing to stay here forever.
Spider Woman's Ghost Story was already moved, Bai Wu accurately captured the other party's desire, and immediately struck while the iron was hot to consolidate the advantage:
"Seven hundred years ago, the people here were selfish and indifferent. Your brother didn't survive in the end. But if he were alive, I believe he would be different from the others. He wouldn't be afraid of your current appearance. You may be a monster in the eyes of others, but in his eyes, you will always be his sister."
“Try to live and find a place that you like. If there is no such place, create it with me.”
As Bai Wu finished speaking, the faint laughter only served to highlight the silence.
The spider girl slowly dissipated, and its body actually began to gradually return to its human form... Its eyes closed one by one, and its fangs began to fall off.
Bai Wu picked up a fang and put it in the storage bag.
Your sweet talk actually worked on underage girls. It fulfilled its wish and attached itself to you in advance. But I must condemn you, a bad thing who doesn't follow your words and deeds. The laughter around you hides malice, like the heart of a dog man.
Well, actually I want to say well done, from now on, you can use the power of Spider-Girl. This power is not simple, as the saying goes, it doesn't matter if you are reincarnated as a spider, now you can force the opponent to establish a spider web chain field.
This field will give you a characteristic: the prey you lock onto with the field will move slower the closer it is to you.
Bai Wu suddenly discovered something.
The powers gained from Spider-Girl and the TV Wife seem to be stronger than their own powers.
"My eyes tell me that these powers are linked to my mental strength... It seems that after obtaining these semi-regular powers, some strange reactions have occurred."
This apartment tour was a gift.
Although this place is too obscure for others and some of the mysteries are hidden very deeply, it is simply a given for Bai Wu.
On the other side, Yan Jiu digested Bai Wu's operations very well, transformed the operations into theories, and then used the theories to consolidate his practical ability.
Wujiu had done this before, but his comprehension was never as good as Yanjiu's. Perhaps it was because Yanjiu had integrated some of the knowledge taught by Chengzi with the knowledge taught by Baiwu.
Soon, Yan Jiu and Lin Rui finally saw the huge circus tent in the center of the zoo.
…
…
Bai Wu began to look for the last strange story. Legend has it that an old man holding a thermos cup will appear on the rooftop.
This old man would knock on every door. Bai Wu didn't care about the secrets hidden there. He just wanted to finish the work as soon as possible so that he could go support Yan Jiu.
On the outskirts of Baichuan City, in a zoo, light dispelled the darkness and became a landmark for Lin Rui and Yan Jiu in the distance.
The two of them didn't have the Eye of Prell. Although Lin Rui had many talent sequences, he didn't have any information about this circus tent. He just instinctively felt that it was dangerous.
Especially at this moment, Lin Rui could no longer hide his smile.
“It’s over… I’m a little confused now… Hahahaha… Hahahaha…”
Yan Jiu said:
"Don't be afraid, I... I can handle it."
This sentence is like a bronze player saying to a king, "I'll take you flying." Lin Rui actually cares a lot. Yan Jiu looks timid, but it sounds strange... This girl is indeed afraid, but it is also a very reasonable fear.
Not overly exaggerated, light and airy.
It was as if she was just a secluded girl who never went out of the house, and now she had come to a busy street, showing only a slight panic.
The circus is performing a show, and all the audience are mechanical creatures in the zoo.
But Lin Rui looked at the boring performances in the circus... There was something he wanted to say, but he felt that it would make these people uncomfortable.
He thought that the elephants, lions, antelopes and gorillas sitting together and laughing were funnier than the shows on the stands.
But all the creatures present, except Yan Jiu, were laughing.
The laughter spread so wildly that Lin Rui couldn't tell whether people were laughing because the show was funny or because of something else.
The members of the circus were all a group of freaks. When they saw Yan Jiu’s arrival, they performed even harder. By harder, they meant laughing until they were hoarse.
Yan Jiu stared blankly ahead:
"Lin Rui... do you think it's funny?"
“It’s not funny. Hahahaha…” Lin Rui felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more out of control.
Yan Jiu sighed and said:
"I don't find it funny either. I have to think about how to calm this farce."
At this moment, Bai Wu's teachings and Liu Chengzi's teachings all appeared in Yan Jiu's mind.
For example, a classic line appeared in Yan Jiu's backup options -
"Everyone only cares about whether your performance is funny, but I am the only one who cares whether the little brother is happy or tired."
This sentence was said by Liu Chengzi, but Yan Jiu felt... that he couldn't do it. Although he could think of these lines, he really couldn't say them out loud.
Yan Jiu thought about it... but still didn't know what to say.
She thought of Bai Wu's words, and after adding her own understanding, it suddenly occurred to her that since the evil ones were all people with obsessions... then maybe they were the same as the patients in the mental hospital
Thinking of this, her eyes brightened.
