He Lou took a deep breath, took out a memory card from his pocket, replaced it with a USB drive and inserted it into the computer.

This was a simple surveillance camera he had installed in the living room. He hadn't had time to check it a few days ago. Today, he had to figure out what Lu Yanli had done.

On the computer screen, images flashed at double speed, and he saw the scene of that day.

That day, Huang Wei was transformed into a zombie because of the song coming from the TV. He and Feng Chuchu rushed over and pressed him under the sun to prevent him from biting. Lu Yanli found some sticky rice and sprinkled it on him, allowing Huang Wei to slowly transform back into a human. The few of them also observed the neighbors upstairs going out. During this time, Feng Chuchu was also frightened by the scene in the cat's eye.

What happened after that

Time passed by little by little, and a few small figures walked back and forth on the screen.

After lunch, Huang Wei sat in the rocking chair to bask in the sun.

Lu Yanli was busy doing housework, chatting with Huang Wei from time to time.

Everything looked the same. Even in this situation, Lu Yanli did not show the slightest sign of abnormality. After carefully sweeping the floor and tidying up the living room, he went to tidy up the room. At noon, Lu Yanli went to the kitchen to cook again.

It was soon night, and after dinner, the group went back to their rooms to rest.

At that time, he was collecting information in the room.

Lan Zhiyu Oceanarium… Since there is an oceanarium, will there be other buildings named after her? When he thought of this, He Lou immediately started searching, and he found quite a few, such as Lan Zhiyu Zoo, Lan Zhiyu Pet Hospital, etc.

He was puzzled by these buildings. Why were they all zoos, pet hospitals, or aquariums or vegetable markets? But when he thought about Lan Zhiyu raising zombies, he didn't find it strange.

Maybe someone continues to raise zombies in her name, so they need fresh flesh and blood

After he sorted out the information, he specially added the abnormality of the apartment and published it on the mysterious website, hoping that someone would find something wrong. He had been in the room at the time and did not notice the movement outside.

He didn't notice that Huang Wei was discussing changing rooms with Lu Yanli.

The orientation of Lu Yanli's original room was not particularly good, but it could at least let in some sunlight and ventilation. Huang Wei heard that he should get more sun exposure, so he thought that moonlight exposure would be almost the same. However, after he entered the room and observed it carefully, he found that the lighting in the room was not good and did not get much sunlight. In this case, he took the initiative to propose to exchange positions with Lu Yanli.

So, that night, Huang Wei slept in the living room! Lu Yanli entered the room and stayed with Feng Chuchu!

Seeing this, He Lou could no longer deceive himself that their disappearance had nothing to do with Lu Yanli.

If Lu Yanli hadn't done anything, why did he see Lu Yanli sleeping on the sofa when he came to the living room after waking up? He actually said he knew nothing.

He Lou's chest heaved violently, and he continued to watch while suppressing his anger.

As time passed, Huang Wei absorbed more and more moonlight. His eyes became dull and pale, his face turned blue, his nails grew longer, and saliva oozed from the corners of his mouth.

Since He Lou had placed the micro camera right next to the TV, and the camera had a night photography function, the camera clearly recorded the process of Huang Wei's transformation, without missing a single second.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was about to turn into a zombie.

Just then, a figure appeared in front of him.

The figure pulled out an iron rod from behind, dropped it from high up, and hit Huang Wei's head with such force that one could seem to hear a slight "crack" sound coming from Huang Wei's neck.

Huang Wei fainted while still struggling, and then the man tied his hands and feet neatly, grabbed his ankles and slowly dragged him out.

Just like how he treated his companions for a ticket, now he was the one being dragged out.

Where would Lu Yanli take the body

The answer to this question is obvious!

When they had people test whether they could leave the apartment, didn't they also have people move the body to that place

After a long while, Lu Yanli came back. He cleaned up all the possible traces in the living room as if nothing had happened. He didn't know where the iron rod was thrown. Anyway, as long as he threw it outside the apartment, He Lou and the others would not be able to find it. After Lu Yanli packed up his things, he went back to lie down on the sofa.

No, that's not right... How could they not hear such a loud noise

He Lou suddenly raised his hands to cover his face, and a silent bitter laugh escaped from between his fingers.

Yes, they have been living in Lu Yanli's house these days. If he wants to do something, it is very simple. Without any prompts, He Lou can easily list a long list of ways to kill people, not to mention that he is just unconscious

He Lou calmed down and was about to continue watching the video from where he was just now. But at this moment, Lu Yanli, who was lying on the sofa on the screen, turned sideways, and then, without any warning, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight into the camera, staring directly at He Lou outside the screen!

He Lou suddenly stiffened and a chill ran down his spine.

It was him... He had always known about the cameras!

Lu Yanli raised the corners of his lips, revealing a cold, mocking smile. He stared at the camera, moved his lips, and said something. Then, he turned his head back, closed his eyes, and fell asleep. Not long after, he fell asleep.

What he said was: "Did you finally find out?"

He Lou only felt a burning pain on his face.

This was his eighth mission, the eighth different world he had experienced. There were many missioners who were more experienced than him, but there were many who couldn't even get through the fifth time.

He Lou didn't know how many tasks he had to complete before he could be free, but at least he couldn't give up, as long as he kept living.

Keep living.

No matter which world he was in, he only needed to race with ghosts and fight with other taskers. In their eyes, the natives of the other world were always called "shields" or "scapegoats". With just a few words, he could easily make them sacrifice their lives in exchange for clues. As long as it wasn't him who died, what did it matter who it was

It's just that the utilization value is different.

Who knew that he would actually run into such a person... He Lou was no longer willing to use NPC to describe Lu Yanli. He stared at the man sleeping peacefully on the screen with a ferocious expression.

To be honest, more than half of the people in the team were killed directly or indirectly by Lu Yanli! In addition to his resentment, He Lou was unwilling to admit that he was particularly fearful deep in his heart.

At this time, he received new replies to his posts on several anonymous forums.

He Lou calmed himself down and clicked on the new message to check.

As he watched, his eyes widened.

In another room, Lu Yanli was lying on the bed, holding his mobile phone in both hands, apparently playing with it.

The mobile phone screen showed He Lou's changing expression at this moment.

He admired it for a while before turning it off and falling asleep happily.

Speaking of which, today when he was on the fifth floor, he vaguely heard a scream, and it seemed to be from a woman.

Among the residents of this building, who is a woman

…

The next day, the only four people left got up as usual. He Lou looked normal. After talking to Li Fangzhi for a few words, he sat at the dining table waiting for Lu Yanli to make breakfast.

Since he wants to pretend, let him do it. If Lu Yanli wanted to poison, he should have done it long ago. Since he deliberately kept the three of his people until now, maybe it will be useful.

Then, they can talk.

Lu Yanli seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. He hummed a song while cooking meat porridge and served it to them. He Lou was a little skeptical, but when he saw Lu Yanli eating, he started to eat as well.

"Are there any new discoveries today?" asked Li Fangzhi.

For some reason, her face was also a little pale, and Li Fangwan, who was sitting aside quietly drinking porridge, was even more strange. Her face was almost as pale as the wall behind her, and she had no expression on her face, but the other three people did not think anything was wrong.

Everyone ignored Li Fangwan's abnormality without any prior agreement.

Lai Fangzhi was a little anxious.

Another day passed, and there was one day less left before the one-week deadline, which also meant that there were fewer restrictions on ghosts.

He Lou nodded: "Yes."

He shared the information he had obtained.

He found all the buildings named after Lan Zhiyu in the country and posted them on the forum. Then someone contacted him and told him that if the locations of these buildings were connected in a line, it would form a Taoist magic circle that was said to have been lost for a long time.

As for what kind of magic circle it is, it cannot be seen for the time being, but it is probably related to suppression.

"The center of this magic circle is the Lanzhiyu Oceanarium." He Lou said slowly.

There were only four people present, so he looked at Lu Yanli from time to time without hesitation, just to see the other person's expression clearly.

To his disappointment, Lu Yanli showed no signs of abnormality. He just asked in a panic, "Then... the guy upstairs who often goes to the aquarium, could it be that he wants to destroy something?"

"Not sure." He Lou shook his head, and then he made a bold decision.

"Tomorrow is Tuesday. Let's go to 404 while he's not home."

Because it was just upstairs, He Lou spoke very softly, but the firmness in his words was unquestionable.

Rather than just sit there and wait for the ghosts to kill you for no apparent reason, it would be better to take the initiative and perhaps find some tools in 404 that could help them escape.

He stared at Lu Yanli, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Will you come too?"

Lu Yanli was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay."
